BFR will host a Longest Loser Competition this winter, according to Carole Enneking of BFR.

"The object of the competition is to lose weight slowly for the longest amount of time. Each person will weigh in weekly on the same day and you must lose 0.2 of a pound to stay in the competition," she said.

The competition winner will get a three-month membership to BFR. The fee to enter is $10 for non-member and $5 for members. If you have any questions call 419-358-4150 or email [email protected].

Were you born in Bluffton? Graduated from BHS in what years?

My family moved to Bluffton in the summer of 1975. I started Bluffton Elementary School that fall. I rode the bus over to Beaverdam Middle School for 6th through 8th grade. I was at Bluffton High School from 1984-88.

Share some memories about growing up here. School, friends, teachers, etc.

In an effort to help relieve some of the hardship and financial difficulty of the depressed economy in the Pandora and Gilboa area, the churches of Pandora and the Gilboa United Methodist are offering food boxes on the last Saturday of every month for households in the Pandora-Gilboa school district that find themselves in need.

The boxes are designed to provide nine meals (3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 3 dinners) for a family of four.

In order to pick-up a box for a household, you must register by 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 20, by calling 419-384-3905.
