Letter: Look for the truth, follow the money

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 29, 2010 - 12:18pm

Icon:

This election is about The Poor vs. The Rich, Main Street vs. Wall Street, and Bigotry vs. Justice. I want to stand with the poor, local economies and to fight against racism, Islamophobia, and sexual discrimination. That gives me a straight Democratic ticket.

Unfortunately, this election is being fought with negative campaign ads that are outright lies, paid for by un-sourced and unlimited money. Why not just give up Democracy and let the top thousand richest people make the decisions? Sadly, that's kind of how it is already.

Letter: Vote for player of the week

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 12, 2010 - 5:55am

Wondering if Icon supporters could help out Bluffton University be number one in this voting event?

A play from the Bluffton University volleyball team is part of a play of the week contest... the following is on the University's website which fully explains this. How neat would it be if Bluffton could be this week's winner. This week's voting is over on Wednesday. Bluffton's play is Play #1 on the website.

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.

Letter: The Icon helps me keep in touch

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 20, 2010 - 4:12pm

Icon:

Former Blufftonite Chris Hardesty here, now in New York. I don't recall what initially led me to the Icon a couple months ago, but I'm happy to have found it.

I check in every week or so and feel like I'm getting back in touch with the wonderful town I grew up in. I've enoyed the video of the band reunion, the blog post about the slaw cutters and the 15-minute Q&As. And (feel free to share this with your advertisers) I'm making a list of businesses I hope to hit-up whenever II make it back to town -- popcorn, coffee, Dough Hook...
