Awaiting lunch

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 13, 2020 - 3:38pm

A northern leopard frog awaits lunch as it basks in the shallow waters of Little Riley Creek. The Icon enhanced the photo so viewers can see the frog's feet below water level. The frog was very polite, posing quietly without moving, while the photo session took place.

Write a caption - winner gets a Padrone's Pizza

Some things never change. We have about 25 different years of this photo. The only change from one photo to the next is the cast of characters.

This 2002 classic Pirate photo serves several purposes.

First, it is part of our Historical Bluffton photo series. The problem is we don't have the the names of these fine young men. We do know that the photo was taken during the 2002 Bluffton HS homecoming parade.

University alum now project organizer for Gulf Coast Leadership Council

Her current priorities include organizing for the 2020 Census and bringing local faith-based leaders together to work on issues of flooding.
Posted by Fred Steiner on July 12, 2020 - 3:25pm

When Sarah Ricks graduated from Bluffton in 2010, her goal was to help people “and utilize my skills and education in a way that would make a contribution to my greater community.”

Today, that is exactly what she is doing, but she never imagined it would be in Southeast, Texas.

The Lima native is a project organizer for Gulf Coast Leadership Council, a non-profit that brings faith communities of all denominations together to provide resources to people in need. Over the past few years, the greatest need has been Hurricane Harvey recovery and relief.
