Rising country singer has recorded a song about Bluffton

All due to a fluke vehicle breakdown on I-75 last summer
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2020 - 10:08pm

Thanks to a fluke vehicle breakdown on I-75 last summer, a rising star on the national country music scene will soon release an album featuring one song about Bluffton.

That rising star is Sal Walker and his band April Shortbread.

Late Sunday evening last July 21, Derek Dukes stopped to help a group traveling in a Tuscany Thor Motor Coach stalled on the southbound exit 140 ramp. 

Assessing the situation, Dukes drove to the Beaverdam travel center. There he explained the breakdown problem to a mechanic who returned with Dukes and repaired the stranded vehicle.

Help your community - wear a mask

Masks help stop the infected from infecting others
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2020 - 2:37pm

By JoAnna “Anna” Kauffman, M.D.
and Tobias S. Buckell
There are two reasons to wear a mask:

• to protect *yourself* against what's out there, so you can personally try to avoid infection, and

•  to protect *others* from what *you* may have so that you don't infect the community.

The second reason is what some doctors and epidemiologists are emphasizing as an important tool for fighting COVID-19. They are not recommending you keep N95 masks.
