You're a 2004 graduate of BHS, correct? Share a bit about growing up in Bluffton.

Yes, graduated from BHS in 2004. I had a lot of fun in school, and was in
all kinds of activities - choir, band, show choir, jazz band, Latin club,
math club, etc. I also really enjoyed Campus Life. I was often just really
goofy with my friends!

Tell me what you did after high school. College? Graduate school?

The Lady Pirate defense put on a top notch performance as they held off the Lincolnview Lancers Monday in an NWC match-up.

The Pirates, looking to keep their NWC title shot alive, defeated the Lancers 6-5 at Harmon Field. The Pirates started off with a single by Ashlin Gable. Gable was able to score off an error hit by Molly Lengyel.

The Pirates trailed the Lancers 3-1 in the second inning before the bats came alive. Katie Palte was able to reach first base on a nicely placed bunt, followed by a walk by Lexi Luginbihl. Briana Laing blasted a double scoring Palte.

Hawaiian Ice Cream anyone?

Mennonite Memorial Home held its annual ice cream social for family, friends and resident last week where everyone was transported away to a distant island.

The theme was Hawaiian and the music and decorations helped turn the chapel into a fresh, brightly-colored island experience.

Participants were carried away to a warmer climate where they enjoyed several flavors of ice cream and toppings. Over 70 people attended.
