Why is the Bluffton High School mascot a pirate? And, what’s the story behind the Lady Pirate logo?
In the dawn of Bluffton High School athletics the school played an independent schedule in all sports. Its team colors were red and white, but those teams were not called the Pirates. They had no mascot.

American singer-songwriter and actress Alicia Keys is out with her seventh studio album Alicia (stylized all caps) in 2020. This comes after a number of delays due to COVID-19. Keys has received numerous awards in her fantastic career, including 15 (competitive) Grammy Awards.
The artist was the host for the Awards show in 2019 becoming the first woman in 15 years to do so. She repeated the feat in 2020 in addition to singing a soulful tribute to the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
What’s the story of the bell located near the entrance of the middle school?
A close examination of it reveals it was made at the Buckeye Bell Foundry in 1884 by the firm of Vanduzen and Tift of Cincinnati.
It was originally housed in the belfry of an 1875-constructed three-story Victorian school building on Jackson Street. The doors to that building faced Church Street, just as the elementary building doors to today. (see photos below)
Review by Robert McCool
The book's title is all the introduction it needs. Anything more would be superfluous.
I waited over a year for this book to become available at my local library. There's a reason for that. It's that much in demand. Rightfully so.
There are books that are so perfect that I feel my ability to comment on them is inadequate to do them justice. “WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING” (Random House, IBSN 978-1-9848-2761-6) by Delia Owens, is such a book, a book about isolation and loneliness.
You’ve probably never given this much thought, but we’ll ask the question anyway.
Have you ever wondered – or even noticed – that Cherry Street becomes wider as it approaches Main Street? This widening begins abruptly near the alley behind the Twisted Whisk Café.
Beyond that, have you ever noticed that the curb is very thick limestone in this wider portion of the street?
The news of Chadwick Boseman’s death at the age of 43 – coupled with the knowledge that he privately suffered from colon cancer for a number of years – shocked many in the film community and anyone who had been a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
One of the MCU’s greatest strengths is that it was able to deliver fan-pleasing experiences across multiple movies in the extended film canon.
