Spelling your name couldn't be easier

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 6, 2016 - 8:44am

You may never try spelling your name again - especially if it is long.

Here's a "Spell Your NAme" and do the workout from Bluffton Family Recreation.

You simply follow the instructions by your letter and pretty soon, your workout is in process.

Let's see how it works: Icon

I = 60-second plank
C = 20 crunches
O = 20 lunges
N =10 pushups

Don't let us hold you back. Just start spelling.

Gregg Luginbuhl - Bluffton's artist laureate

He played a pretty mean basketball and baseball game, too

A Gregg Luginbuhl coffee mug sits at my keyboard as I write this. Perhaps you hold one as you read this.

Gregg was artist laureate of Bluffton. The title passed to him from his father, Darvin. Before Darvin, it belonged to John Klassen. Gregg also belongs in the same class with other former Bluffton artists Richard Minck and Paul Soldner.

Every town should have an Al Ingalls

We know, because we had a great one
Posted by Fred Steiner on September 19, 2016 - 9:57pm

At one time or another every town should have an Al Ingalls.

Bluffton had one. And we truly feel for the towns that didn’t.

Al and his wife, Millie, owned Ingalls Restaurant. It was the last real sit-down restaurant on Main Street.

What a place. Hours were, oh, 5:30 a.m. to, what, 10 p.m. at night?

Those hours were set for the community, not the owners. It operated in a sort of informal “community system.” Meetings took place there. Deals developed. Coffee was poured. More meetings took place. More deals developed. More coffee was poured.
