As children transition from summer to school, parents frequently consult pediatricians for sleep problems. Whether children are having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, poor sleep can wreak havoc on a child’s physical health, mood and school performance. Furthermore, when children don’t sleep, neither do their parents, which can mean that entire families are affected by disruptions in sleep patterns.

Members of the Bluffton University Social Work Club will take part in a Trick or Can activity on October 31, the same night that Bluffton holds trick or treating. Donations will be delivered to the Bluffton Community Assistance Corporation food pantry.

Students in costume will go door to door asking for donations of shelf-stable and nonperishable food items (no glass). Donations may also be left on doorsteps and porches to be collected.

The Village of Bluffton has issued a preliminary agenda for the Council Meeting of October 28, which takes place at 7:00 p.m. on the third floor of Bluffton Town Hall, 154 N. Main.  

We can’t thank the Bluffton EMS enough for their timely response in several scary situations over the past five years. The EMT’s have always been professional, thorough and comforting.

Rachel goes above and beyond and the care she gives is nothing short of exceptional.

When those unexpected things happen, it’s good to know we have a team of people ready to give their all in a time of need. Thank you, Bluffton EMS.
