Pies, fried chicken and meatloaf top the list for MMH elders

When Julie Wolfe arrives at work at 5:45 a.m., it’s more than likely she’ll start preparing scrambled eggs and bacon.  As a cook for Mennonite Memorial Home, Wolfe knows what her “customers” like and basic foods are always a hit.  When she varies the breakfast menu, it’s usually with standard fare such as pancakes and biscuits and gravy. 

“Our elders love bacon and eggs,” Julie laughed.  “They also love anything that’s homemade and will ask if a dish was made from scratch.”

Kayla Kindle, a Bluffton High School senior, is the April Icon artist of the month, according to Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher.

Kayla has taken Photography in art and says, "I enjoy photography because it is a class that provides lots of hands on projects, such as darkroom prints and photo-shoots, and it has allowed me to tap into my creative side again through projects like photo-shops and stop-motion videos."

Kristi Hurley second; Lisa Coonfare third out of 102 contestants
