Bob Painter weighs a bag of peanut brittle just out of the Bluffton Senior Center kitchen. Senior center volunteers started making this year’s supply on Nov. 2 and will end production on Nov. 30. The candy may be purchased during regular business hours now until Christmas. The price is the same as last year at $5.50 a pound. Peanut brittle is one of the center’s biggest fundraisers and among its oldest traditions. The recipe is the same used in 1974 when the first batch was created.

In the repressive Soviet Union of the 1980s, dissident Aleksandr Kalugin kept his art under cover in a grand piano—“hidden in plain sight,” as Olwen Pritchard put it Nov. 12 at Bluffton University.
But Pritchard and her husband, Dr. James Satterwhite, a Bluffton professor, acquired five etchings from Kalugin and eventually brought them back to Bluffton, where they are now on permanent display in the university’s Musselman Library.
