Ten in a row!

That's the current winning streak for the Bluffton High School tennis team, which established a school record Tuesday with a 4-1 victory at Elida.

As usual, Coach Jesse Sensenig got wins from his singles players as Ashlin Gable, Emily Sprague and Kristi Geiser registered straight set wins over the hosts.

Shannon Koch and Shaye Liddick won a three-set tie-break for their eighth win of the year together, while Rachel Sehlhort and Bronwyn Greer were edged at No. 2 doubles.

The first planning meeting for the 2012 Bluffton's Relay for Life is planned in early October.

The meeting is at 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 6, in the Bluffton town hall. Committees will meet at 6 p.m. and team meetings are at 7 p.m.

Some of the auction items

The Service Group of Mennonite Home Communities will hold a silent auction and bake sale during this year's fall festival. Some of the items you can bid upon are:
a tiled top table by Wayne Shafer,
two of Brauen's decorative gourds,
a butterfly afghan,
poinsettia quilt,
folk art birdhouses,
a basket of canned goodies,
a large bird feeder by Bill Swartley,
and much more.

Bev Steiner has worn a multitude of hats in her life: mother, wife, grandmother, medical technician, and others, but at the Mennonite Memorial Home she is known for her fragrant gifts of potpourri.

Bev, the flower lady, refined her art of making her potpourri after she came to the Mennonite Home to recover from a shattered femur.

She tells the story about the first time she decided to make some potpourri. She took the flowers from a great nieces wedding and made some for the bride and their mothers.
