2011 World Day of Prayer art

Eight Bluffton churches will come together in a worldwide ecumenical movement to observe a common day of prayer. The Bluffton service is at 7 p.m., Friday, March 5, at the Bluffton Presbyterian Church.

Services begin at sunrise in the Pacific and follow the sun across the globe on the day of celebration. Each year a different country serves as the writer of the World Day of Prayer worship service.

Since the maple tapping season is almost upon us, we are lucky to have a few maple syrup making demonstrations in our area to check out. While you are at the Coldren-Crates Maple festival in Arlington or the Johnny Appleseed Maple Syrup Festival at Teddy Bear Park in Lima (both taking place March 13), pick up some maple syrup and try the maple sugar.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Movie review

After seeing Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I wondered if the screenwriter of the movie even read the book the movie was supposedly based on or if he just got a summary from Wikipedia.

Although come to think of it, even Wikipedia with all its editors can give a better synopsis of Rick Riordan's epic novel The Lightning Thief than the screenwriter of this movie did.

There are times when small packages offer huge surprises. This photo represents one of those times. The original photo is a snapshot measuring 2 by 3 inches. It is taken from a family album, but carries no explanation.

When enlarged the photo reveals much. Of course, you recognized the view is Main Street Bluffton taken from what today would be in front of Common Grounds coffee shop looking north. Judging the Ford Model T on the left, which appears to resemble a 1915 model, that puts this photo in the mid-1910s.

A Bluffton, "Indiana" vehicle

This plate needs a little explaining. Check out the name of the car dealer and the hometown of the car dealer. You'll find the information in the top left corner of this photo, which shows an Indiana license plate found on the Bluffton University campus.

Yes, there's snow on the ground. Even so, it's time to start thinking about the 2010 Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce arts and crafts show.

The show is now is accepting registrations from crafters. This year's show is Saturday, May 22, in downtown Bluffton, according to Fred Steiner of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.

Except for public schoolteachers and farmers, it is the rare individual who spends her whole working life at the same organization. Rarer still for one to remain at the same institution for 45 years. So at a recent annual President's Dinner at Bluffton University, there was true cause for celebration.
