Dr. Bur Shilling to speak at Maple Grove Cemetery ceremony

An invitation from Bluffton American Legion Post #382.

A tradition which dates back more than 150 years continues to bring veterans and families together in Bluffton. The tradition: decorating the graves of America’s war veterans, now known as Memorial Day.

The members of Bluffton American Legion Post # 382 understand the bond and tradition. “We invite citizens of Bluffton and surrounding communities to join us in remembering those who died for our Freedom.”

The Bluffton, Ohio Memorial Day Parade will be on Monday, May 27, 2024. The Parade forms at 9:15 a.m. and moves out at 9:30. The service at Maple Grove Cemetery will begin at 10:00 a.m. We ask that those who wish to be in the parade refrain from throwing candy to the crowd. We also ask citizens to please remove their hats as the American Flag passes.

Handling hurtful words

Posted by Staff on May 21, 2024 - 6:00am

Columnist Bill Herr taught high school mathematics and science for 32 years before serving as a volunteer and then as a staff chaplain at two nursing homes.  

By Bill Herr

One of the most difficult things in life is to forgive someone that wrongs us with words or actions. In the nursing home almost all residents were kind to staff members and other residents. 

Yet some of the kindest ones were hard on immediate members of their families. They would naturally rather live in their own home than in a nursing home. If family members are instrumental in the decision to move a loved one to the nursing home due to health issues or age, there is a tendency to hold family members responsible for feelings of dissatisfaction.
