Let's face it - life for each one of us has drastically changed over the past month.
Whether we are a student no longer going to school, a laid-off worker, a nurse taking double shifts, a farmer dreaming of planting season, or a senior citizen watching it all from the window, we're all in this together. This new kind of living with a devastating new virus is affecting all our lives.
Two Bluffton High School artists have art works accepted into this year’s Governor’s Art Show, according to Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher.
Garmon said that in the second round of judging Annalise Nisly and Danielle Novak both had works accepted. Nisly’s accepted piece was a sculpture. Novak’s piece was a print, and it was designated as the top 25 award.
In addition, Melina Meza, Nicholas Markowski, Kaitlyn Montgomery and Jocelyn Ochoa had art work accepted at the regional level.

There are patio painters in Pandora.
Hilty Preschool and Childcare youngsters of Pandora visited Hilty Home assisted living residents’ outdoor patios, decorating them with some sidewalk chalk art earlier this week.
One of the staff members assisting in the visit was Jodi Schroeder.
As you can see, despite the personal “touch,” the event was personal and touching.
Schroeder said that the youth decided to make rainbows.
