It's supposed to be in the 50s this weekend

It's supposed to be in the 50s this weekend.

In the meantime, we are shoveling snow from our driveways and sidewalks. We are canceling events and wondering if winter will end.

Here's a photo essay of what we hope is winter's last blast in Bluffton. The photos offer a combination nasty winter photos plus an artistic look at winter. The photos were taken during the height of the March 12 snow.

Please give the photo collection a moment to open.

A university student's perspective on torn ACL: Persevering through pain

By Caitlin Nearhood, university intern

German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was right when he said: “that which does not kill us makes us stronger.”

Paul Klassen remembers when the circus came to town

The Circus Tent

By Paul Klassen

Yes, I remember, it happened in  our town.
Almost everything I remember from those long years ago
happened in our town.  There was no other place to be.
No other place to go.  We were always there.  Stuck you might say.

And so the word got out.  The circus was coming to town,
And tomorrow would be the day.
But they were here already, setting up at the edge of town
In the empty field on Vance Street.
