In case you missed it: The Bluffton Public Library recently featured an entertaining collection of vintage salt and pepper shakers. Here's our slide show of some of the S&P pairs. Up next is a second collection of Riley Creek finds by young Bluffton mudlarks.
The Bluffton High School football team blasted winless Delphos Jefferson 63-0 in the Northwest Conference opener at Harmon Field Friday night, September 8, to stay undefeated.
The lopsided victory lifted the Pirate record to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in NWC action, while Delphos Jefferson fell to 0-4 and 0-1 in league play with the loss.
Landen Worcester started the scoring spree with a two-yard touchdown run. Kyle Basil booted the first of nine straight extra point kicks to make it 7-0.
Hayden Dearth then hauled in a 54-yard scoring aerial from Garret Bogart to double the lead to 14-0.
Gavin Bogart found paydirt on a five-yard TD run to extend the advantage to 21-0.
Worcester found the end zone from 15 yards out to put the Pirates on top, 28-0.
Remember seeing your first-ever electric-driven vehicle in Bluffton? Compare that to the following image: It passed through Bluffton in an unusual color scheme (reddish-orange) blasting a very foreign sound (a “hoarse” whistle).

A woman’s annual exam with her OBGYN remains vitally important.
As Pap smear guidelines have changed, women assume they don’t need to see their OB/GYN every year. But, your preventive visit is about much more than periodically screening for cervical cancer with a Pap smear.
Below are just a few of the benefits of seeing your OBGYN each year:
Counseling you about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimizing health risks. Experts agree there is substantial individual and system-wide cost-savings in prevention. Nutrition and fitness remain the foundation of weight management, prevention of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
Screening for sexually transmitted disease (STD) which can lead to sterility or life-long pelvic pain.
