Albrecht-Kemper showcases St. Joseph native’s art

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) —  The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is showcasing the work of Jacqueline Bishop in an exhibition called ‘Above the Fruited Plain.’ 

Bishop, who is originally from St. Joseph, is known for her detailed, emotional paintings and prints. Much of her work reflects her decades living in New Orleans and her travels to rainforests and other threatened environments.  

“I think people will find a lot to be interested in it since her work is full of detail and emotions, and she spent a lot of time travelling to rainforests and other threatened environments,” Exhibition Manager Meghan Benitz said.  

The exhibition includes several of Bishop’s prints from the past 10 years. The museum plans to rotate in new pieces over the next few months to keep the display fresh.  

“We have a collection (of) her prints as well from around here and it’s mostly work that she has done in the past 10 years. We will be changing the exhibition in the next three months,” Benitz said.  

Benitz says the museum makes it a priority to feature a variety of artists and perspectives, giving visitors a chance to see the world through different lenses.  

She highlights that Bishop’s use of a deep red pigment is a unifying element of this exhibition.  

“Each individual’s artwork is great but the whole show together can help create this feeling in viewers because it’s red and evokes things like pollution but also a historic pigment that’s (been) used for centuries,” Benitz said.  

The museum will also showcase works that celebrate creativity, resilience in women and the symbolic beauty woven into Bishop’s art. 

A free community reception is planned for Sept. 19 from 4 to 7 p.m. The exhibition officially opens on Sept. 20 and will remain on display through Nov. 2.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) says Gila Ridge High School will reopen as regularly scheduled Tuesday.

The school was closed last week after a pipe in the air conditioning system broke following a recent storm.

YUHSD says the air conditioning worked as expected over the weekend, and they thanked the facilities team for resolving the situation and ensuring the students’ and staff’s safety.

However, a section of the school’s parking lot will remain closed “due to excavation of the broken pipe,” and YUHSD is asking parents dropping off their kids to “enter the west gate and exit through the east gate.”

PISMO BEACH, Calif. – The Labor Day weekend certainly heated things up, and the Central Coast has been welcoming a surge of visitors eager to enjoy the region’s stunning coastline, beach weather, and local shops.

The parks, beaches and shops are all full.

The Central Coast, spanning both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, has been a magnet this holiday weekend. 

With a mild summer up until now, thousands have been flocking here for sun, sand, and relaxation.

Pismo Beach, one of the region’s most popular destinations, is alive with visitors enjoying the beach weather.

“Very busy, a nice influx of, of tourists from the valley, from all over,” says Curtis Gilbert, a server at Cool Cat Cafe. “Normally we get a lot of people from Europe during this time. So it’s been a good mix of Europe and tourists from the valley.”

SLO county officials report a significant increase in visitors this weekend, with many towns having seen their busiest days of the season.

“That’s normal for this time of year,” says Gilbert. “We always expect Labor Day to pick up.”

Local businesses are capitalizing on the influx, offering cold drinks, fresh seafood, and outdoor dining to keep guests comfortable.

“We just revamped our bar menu, so we have a lot of new cocktails,” says Gilbert. “There’s a Lavender Tides and a Peachy Keen, milkshakes, and pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris.”

Despite some high surf advisories for both counties’ beaches, families are building sandcastles, surfers are riding waves, and shoppers are exploring.

“You can feel the current moving from south to north a lot more than it does other times when there’s not that kind of energy in the water,” says San Luis Obispo resident Aaron Beardsley.

Safety measures are in place across the county including hydration stations and shaded rest areas at popular outdoor spots.

Authorities remind everyone to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and take breaks from the sun.

As the warm weather continues through the week, the Central Coast is set to remain a top destination for anyone seeking a getaway from warmer inland temperatures.

Buhl Police arrest three juveniles for racist graffiti at Skate Park

Seth Ratliff

BUHL, Idaho (KIFI) — The Buhl Police Department has identified and charged three juvenile suspects after a local skate park was vandalized with “racist and hateful graffiti” last weekend. The suspects were identified following a swift community response to the department’s Facebook post that helped authorities with the investigation.

On the evening of Friday, August 22, the skate park was defaced with racist slurs, hate symbols, and gang markings. The incident sparked outrage and prompted the police department to issue a public statement.

“Acts of hate and destruction have no place in Buhl, and we will continue to hold offenders accountable,” the police department wrote in an updated release.

The three suspects face charges of felony malicious harassment and malicious injury to property. Two are now in custody, though their names will not be released due to their age.

The police department also extended its gratitude to the community for its support, especially those who came forward with information and volunteered to help clean up the offensive symbols.

“Your efforts made a difficult situation better and showed the strength and unity of our city. The pride you take in keeping our parks and public spaces safe and welcoming is greatly appreciated.”
