FROM BLUFFTON ICON - A new book, “Bluffton Anthology – a creek runs through it,” with dozens of short essays about Bluffton, collected by Fred Steiner, will be released in the next few weeks.
“This collection brings together more than a dozen engaging writers whose own Bluffton experiences deserve retelling,” said Steiner.
“For anyone who calls Bluffton home, these stories need no further introduction,” said Steiner, about the book. “For people needing to have Bluffton explained to them, this is a great starting point.”

Twin sisters Andrea and Alyson Hoffman, current sophomores attending Ohio Northern University, both suffer from cystic fibrosis (CF).
Andrea and Alyson make it a priority to take daily steps in order to live long and healthy lives. Their goal is to have CF no longer stand for cystic fibrosis but rather cure found.
On Nov. 5, at 8 p.m., Andrea and Alyson will be giving a presentation through Google Meet. The purpose of the presentation is to teach the importance of exercise as a treatment for CF.
