Safe meds disposal

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 5, 2020 - 2:23pm

The Bluffton Police Department lobby on the town hall’s second floor provides residents with a safe medication disposal box. With a new year just a month old, it’s a good time to remind viewers of the service. Persons may place unwanted or expired medications in the drop box to help prevent accidents with children in your home. Items accepted include prescription meds and over the counter medications.

Lowdown on cloth diapers… they’ve come a long way

A mother's musing
Posted by LizGH on February 5, 2020 - 2:00pm

By Liz Gordon-Hancock
Bambino Mio, GroVia, Fill Your Pants, bumgenius, AppleCheeks, and Rumparooz - these are all brands of cloth diapers.

Cloth diapers have had a total revamp. I'm not talking about the big terrycloth squares that you perform a type of origami on, and then use giant safety pins to secure around your baby.

Cloth diapers nowadays come in dozens of different types, materials, shapes and colors: all-in-one, prefolds, envelope-style, pocket diaper with inserts, and choice of snaps or velcro closures and so on.
