2014 Junior Olympic all-around champion (Junior Elite/16 years) Alec Yoder of Indianapolis, Ind./InterActive Academy, was chosen by the USA Gymnastics Men’s Youth Olympic Games Selection Committee to compete in the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, pending approval by the United States Olympic Committee. The 2014 Youth Olympic Games will be held Aug. 16-28 in Nanjing, China.
Alex is the grandson of Dr. Alan and Diann Yoder, Bluffton. His parents are Mike and Rebecca Yoder of Indianapolis, Ind.
Following the announcement from the American Cancer Society that they would no longer include Bluffton as an official Relay for Life event, a local planning committee chose to develop an independent event. In an effort to control administrative costs, the American Cancer Society of Northwest Ohio has chosen to consolidate Relay for Life events into large county-wide programs. The Bluffton planning committee voted to continue the annual summer event as a third-party event in support of cancer research.
Bluffton stringed instrument players will be in tune this summer as the summer strings program gets underway later this month, according to Rachael Lewis, teacher.

The program begins on Tuesday, June 10, and continues on Tuesday, July 1, July 8 and July 15. (No strings on June 17 or 24.)
