Just when you thought the "old" ways of learning were tossed out the door we invite Icon readers to discover what Bluffton High School art students are "rediscovering:" the wet photo darkroom.
Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher, provided The Icon with this story written by BHS student Nathan Hursh. He writes:
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce recognized 11 long-time Bluffton business owners and family members during a special meeting April 12 at Maple Crest Senior Living Village.
Eleven persons now residents at various Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio campuses were recognized, according to Fred Steiner, chamber CEO.
Richard Boehr, chamber member, provided a brief explanation of each of the recognized person’s business affiliation and presented each one with a certificate of appreciation.
Here are notes from a brief discussion with four third grade boys: Roric Dunifon (Mrs. Kingsley’s class), Kyler Kinn (Bogart), Ian Martz (Armstrong) and Eli Okuley (Raeburn).
Spring is here and Mennonite Home Health & Senior Services is here to help.
“The annual process of spring cleaning is fun and satisfying,” says Kathy Rode, Director of Home Health & Senior Services. “It’s the only time of year that projects like house cleaning, organizing, and doing minor repairs around the house feel like a fresh start instead of like chores. People are starting to think in terms of cleaning up their home for spring and summer, but many may not be able to get something done or know where to look for help. That’s where we can help.” says Rode.
Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) began a six-month construction project at the Maple Crest campus’s Crimson Maple Court cul-de-sac on April 10.
The $850,000 project will create four new independent living duplex units. Each unit has a different floor plan and range from 1,617- 1,820 square feet. Floor plans vary between two and three bedroom floor plans, but all include cathedral ceilings in the great room, a utility room, kitchen (including all appliances), two baths and a two-car garage.
