Tell the Icon where one might find this sign? (Denny Morrison is not eligible to enter this because we think he know the answer.)
Here are some hints:
• You'll only find this sign turned on two times a day
• When it turns on it doesn't remain on very long
• It's on the east side of Main Street
• It's a very old sign
• It's message is very wise - it would be very risky to turn left this the sign is on

Ready for a couple Bluffton ghost stories?
Here’s one you’ve probably never heard. I’ll share two versions.
Sometime in the early 1980s Rolland Stratton, longtime Bluffton resident, told me his version from memory. I wrote it down after hearing it, wondering if he was telling me the truth.
Then, in a dusty file folder in a forgotten drawer in third floor of the town hall – before it was renovated - I discovered the second version. It was beautifully hand-scribed in India ink, almost too faded to read.
We knew three sides of Joan Bauman:
• teacher at Cory-Rawson for 30 years
• owner of a Bluffton bed and breakfast
• a person with an international view
For those 30 school years at Cory-Rawson, students knew “Mrs. Bauman” as the teacher whose room was in the top right corner of the old Rawson school.
As a third grade teacher, former students describe her in glowing terms:
“my all-time favorite teacher,” “phenomenal,” “a teacher with a big heart,” and “larger than life.”
Every poet, song writer and artist who created a sunrise must have viewed one like this sunrise in Bluffton on Oct. 11. This view is from Grove Street at 7:30 a.m.
Or as Vladimir Nabokov put it: "Life is a great sunrise."
