BLUFFTON__Six players from the Northwest Conference champion Bluffton High School boys soccer team earned first team all-league honors in voting recently conducted by the league coaches.
Pirate senior midfield ace Gavin Amstutz was named NWC Player of the Year, and Bluffton mentor Dan Lee was also named NWC Coach of the Year by his fellow coaches.
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce hosted local filmmaker Gideon Fisher at its October breakfast meeting for a program on the ways video can preserve memories of places and people that are important to us.
The film We'll Remember Thee: An Arlington, Ohio School Documentary was the centerpiece of Fisher's presentation.
He also asked the audience to participate in an interactive Q&A session where they could supply Bluffton topics that would warrant preservation with video.
