Little-known fact: Most of the marketing efforts of the Freed Center for the Performing Arts at Ohio Northern University take place in Bluffton.

That's because, Anita Cook, independent contractor and marketing manager of the Center, lives in Bluffton. She creates most of her work from the office in her home on North Main Street, located just north of Groves Quality Collectibles.

Owner of Maestro Graphics, Cook is a freelance graphic artist, and her work with The Freed Center is one of the many multi-tasking positions she balances quite well.

Bluffton University student

A jogger with an iPod or a family walking a dog may be regularly seen in Bluffton-not "college students walking back to campus drunk after hitting the bars."

I would know. I am a senior at Bluffton University and have called it home for three years now. Majoring in English and Writing, it was hard for me to read such a biased story in Friday's Lima News.

The words and assumptions that were published in the article about a Bluffton student assault were hurtful to the university and community.
