I blame this all on Becky Reineke Boblitt

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 10, 2020 - 2:33pm

I blame this all on Becky Reineke Boblitt.

She convinced me to go out for the eighth grade girls' basketball team. Let me be blunt, this was not a good fit...one game we were winning something lilke 86 to 6. We ran one play in the fourth quarter.

I was to get to the top of the key, someone would pass me the ball, and I would try - try is the optimal word here - to shoot a basket.

Bluffton's fast freight

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 10, 2020 - 1:03pm

A steam locomotive returned to Bluffton this holiday season. It's doing "fast freight" figure eights in the window of Ryan DeMarco's Edward Jones office at 111 N. Main St. It's a Lionel O gauge carrying an oil car, two box cars and caboose. The loco appears to be a Mikado or Berkshire hybrid. If you can't watch the train from the sidewalk you may watch a 60-second video by clicking here.
