Steve Arnold and Brian Clum go way back.

"We met in Kindergarten at Allen East," laughs Brian.

Mrs. Dickey was their teacher that year, and it was 1974-75. They played T-ball together and were in Lafayette Cub Scout Pack 11 together.

Spending each high school year together, Steve was Brian’s best man in Brian and Kelly’s wedding in 1990.

As they went their own paths, they stayed in touch. And, this winter their paths crossed again.

Steve, now a resident of Willow City, North Dakota, has created a series of competition barbecue products under the brand name Arnold’s Misfit Acres.

Bluffton Anthology offers many essays on small town life

  • /

A new book, “Bluffton Anthology – a creek runs through it,” with dozens of short essays about Bluffton, collected by Fred Steiner, Ada Icon owner, is now on sale at The Inn at ONU.

“This collection brings together more than a dozen engaging writers whose own Bluffton experiences deserve retelling,” said Steiner.

“For anyone who grew up or lives in a small town, these stories need no further introduction,” said Steiner, about the book. “For people needing to have small towns explained to them, this is a great starting point.”

The book includes 190 pages and is listed at $24.95 plus tax.
