Summer is marked by hot and humid conditions. After all, the band The Lovin’ Spoonful didn’t sing, “Hot town, summer in the city. Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty” because the summer weather is crisp and cool. Although summer temperatures can make a day at the beach or in the pool ideal, that rising mercury also can contribute to dehydration.
The Hiawatha High School Class of 1984 Scholarship Fund awarded a total of $10,500 in nonrenewable $1,500 scholarships to seven graduates of the HHS Class of 2025. For the second year in a row, every completed application received a scholarship. The committee elected to increase the award from $1,000 to $1,500, due to the increasing costs of education and ongoing cost-of-living impact to families.
Robinson will soon be the home of the new Billups Gallery and Art Center. Located at 114 State St., the gallery will house the works of Elizabeth J. (Betty) Billups who resides near Priest River, Idaho. The location just south of the ballpark is owned by Teton Sunrise, LLC and will serve as not only a gallery with Betty’s works on display, but it will also be a hub from which her works can travel to various exhibits in the Midwest. Her work was recently featured at a three-week show at the Yost Gallery at Highland Community College in February. The facility will also feature regular exhibits of aspiring artists in the area, and on occasion, will be an art education facility for art classes. Additionally, the facility will be available for other events in the community. Betty’s originals and lithographic fine art prints will be available for purchase at the new gallery, and a percentage of any sales will be donated to help fund college scholarships for native students.
