Jill Steinmetz scores twice in 4-4 tie with Crestview

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 2, 2010 - 5:41pm

By Megan Dulle

Bluffton's girls soccer team traveled to Crestview on Saturday to challenge the Knights. The cold chilling breeze, and slight spit of rain didn't dampen the Pirates' spirits as they came ready to play with full force.

Jill Steinmetz scored the first goal for the Pirates not even a full five minutes into the game. Soon after, with revenge settling in the Knights' hearts, they worked together and scored a goal approximately eight minutes later.

Letter to the Icon: I'm impressed with Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 2, 2010 - 5:29pm

I'm impressed with Bluffton

Fred:

I'd like your readers to know about the Bluffton tour you gave me on a busy September day and how appreciative I am. I suspect you often do such things in the 'ambassador' line that no one ever learns about.

I'm writing a history of my small town in Ontario (Ridgetown), which has a lot of similarities with Bluffton. We're a college town with a couple auto-parts plants, located just off a major highway in the middle of beautiful farmland.

A Dick Cookson original

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 1, 2010 - 9:11pm

This quilt could be yours! The Bluffton Lions Foundation is raffling this original Dick Cookson quilt to benefit the Bluffton Hospital. The quilt design is "Tree of Life." The quilt measures 96 by 103 inches. The quilt winner will be announced at this year's Blaze of Lights on Nov. 27. Cookson, a member of the Bluffton Lions, spent 900 hours, including eight months of cross-stitching to complete the work. Raffle tickets are $5 each or three for $10. Dick Boehr, a member of the Lions, was selling raffle tickets and displaying the quilt during last weekend's fall festival.
