News of pirates is the talk of the town recently. The USS Bainbridge recently rescued a captain taken captive by Somali Pirates. Yes, Bainbridge - the same as Bainbridge Township, Michigan here in North Berrien County. Captain William Bainbridge, namesake of both the USS Bainbridge and Bainbridge Township would be proud. He himself was famous for fighting piracy during the Barbary War (1801-1805).
