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.
