Photo essay of a master craftsman at work

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 25, 2012 - 8:09pm

Let's place this photo essay in the spirit of Charles Hilty. He had a knack for taking photos of what he called town characters but printed them in the local paper under the theme "Faces you know," or similar polite headlines.

So, along comes Denny Morrison with a camera. Let me tell you, Denny is a master craftsman himself. He tools by Larry Core, who is working outside in his yard on who-know's-what. Denny stops, talks with Larry, snaps some photos and goes on his way.

Full Sound performance at Maple Crest

Maple Crest and Bluffton community residents were treated to a professional classical concert of the highest caliber by a chamber group known as "Full Sound" on Sept. 2.
It was a bit like having the "Von Trapp Family" performing as four of the five members of the group belong to one family of Austrian background (the Loritsch family).
The four Loritsch boys range in age from 16 to 22 years old, but play their instruments (violin, viola, cello, double bass, and piano) like masters, and arrange much of the music themselves.

Hey, slow down and check out these flowers

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 2, 2012 - 10:27pm

If the amen of nature is always a flower, then this garden is an amen with an explanation point.

It's one of those flower beds you wish you could transplant in your own yard. Linda Suter, 122 Grove St., says it's all Bob's. "He did it," she said. 

The short version is that Bob went to Stratton's Greenhouse, came home with annuals recommended by Susie Stratton, dug a trench, put it good soil (no clay soil here), and the rest is history.
