When it's time to take a night time cruise around town, make certain you pick up a 2017 Blaze residential decorating tour map.
The maps are free and are available in the red mailbox on the Presbyterian Church lawn in front of the Ream holiday folk art display. The map is coordinated by Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
The map is also available on the chamber website - click here.
The map shows Ream and Triplett displays, residential contest entries and locations of traditional holiday neighborhoods with displays.
Bluffton’s full court pressure fueled two huge first half runs enabling the Pirates to coast to a 61-26 victory in the opening Northwest Conference game for both teams. BHS scored 11 straight points in the first quarter to take a 13-2 lead and followed it up with an 18-0 burst early in the second quarter to push the lead out to 36-12. Bluffton’s press defense forced 13 first half turnovers as BHS went to the locker room with a 36-15 advantage.
Bluffton resident Dr. John K. Estell, ONU professor of computer engineering and computer science, is co-author of the new book, "Engineering Design and the Product Life Cycle: Relating Customer Needs, Societal Values, Business Acumen, and Technical Fundamentals," published by Momentum Press.
The book attempts to answer the question of “What is good design?” by exploring some of the fundamental principles associated with design. It also examines engineering design in a broader context through means of the product life cycle.
