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:
Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs recognizes April as Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Month. Here's some information about the month:
Tuesday, April 30, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, Small Business Administration's Columbus District Office, AARP and the Newark SCORE Chapter will host a free workshop in honor of National Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Month.
The event is targeted to entrepreneurs ages 50+ and will include presentations on using social media as a business tool and an overview of how to start a business as well as a panel of successful Encore Entrepreneurs.
The owner of Bluffton’s newest business has big plans for thinking small.
Andy Chapell-Dick of Bluffton, a general and remodeling contractor, has started Small House Bluffton, a business whose focus is constructing small, fully-functional houses.
“A lot of people want to go small, not just empty nesters, but people who for a practical basis see the cost of living going up,” Chappell-Dick says, in explaining his new venture.
“Bluffton is a unique community. I’m providing something the community hasn’t seen. It’s different housing option,” he said.
