Janette Benroth Reineke, Bluffton artist, wrote a book about it.
Titled, “Fear No Art,” with a subtitle, “You can do it!” the book is a manual of ideas, lesson plans and creative skills for teaching art.
Reineke should know. After a career teaching pre-school, kindergarten, first grade, elementary and junior high art in public schools she spent the most recent 14 years providing art classes in area retirement communities including Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio.
Earlier this year, Blaze of Lights parade director Junior Weihrauch invited the Ottoville Fire Department to have a unit in the Blaze parade.
In Weihrauch’s conversation with Matt Schnipke of the department, Schnipke asked what he thought was a crazy question.
“On Nov. 28 my wife, Jennifer, and I will celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary,” said Schnipke. “This might sound crazy, but would you mind if I propose again to my wife, in front of the review stand, during the parade? I'd like to surprise her.”
Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) is joining thousands across the world who promote #GivingTuesday on Dec. 1.
“We are grateful to be part of a generous community which volunteers, visits, contributes and prays for the elders and staff of MHCO,” stated Doug Luginbill, Director of Resource Development and Church Relations.
