The Bluffton University women's soccer team traveled to Defiance College on a summery Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012, and battled the Yellow Jackets for 90 minutes, coming up just short as a Defiance cross slipped inside the back post in minute 70 for the only score of the match. The Beavers fell to 3-11-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the Heartland Conference following a disappointing loss to their rivals, while DC improved to 9-5-4 and 4-2-2 in the HCAC.

Phil Zimmerly of Common Grounds coffee shop on Main Street installed a coffee roaster this summer. Now Bluffton coffee drinkers are enjoying it fresh from the back room. Click for a video.
Talk to Phil Zimmerly long enough and you’ll learn something about coffee. For example, coffee is a tree. Beans are really seeds. The pits are what you end up with to make coffee.
I know this because Phil told me. Our conversation took place as he shared with me his secrets of roasting coffee – a skill he mastered this summer.
