After spending most of his life capturing moments in time with his camera, Stan Hosman will share some of his most treasured images with the community. Hosman, retired Camas School District superintendent and well known locally as a camera buff, will display his photography during a show at the Second Story Gallery in the Camas Public Library. The show, titled "Scenes That Please My Eye," will include 30 photographs. Nearly all of the photos are images that Hosman has taken during the last few years. Some were snapped during travels to Amsterdam, Switzerland and Japan, where Stan and his wife Carol spent 2 1/2 years teaching at Seisan Junior College. Other photographs in the display will have a more local slant, including one of a great blue heron taken at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
Kathi Rick likes to push artistic boundaries. Rick, of Camas, has managed the North Bank Artists Gallery, in downtown Vancouver, for six years. "Art is a powerful communication tool," she said. "I use my art as a political tool and an avenue for dialogue." In October 2011, Rick organized a "Weird Sisters" exhibit with two friends. Rick, 52, was part of the exhibit as she displayed "an aging female body" with her eyes closed for more than five hours.

The "Golden Rule," has been around for ages, but with busy lives and rough financial times, it can be easy to forgo dropping change into the Salvation Army kettle or buying a hamburger for the homeless man digging through the trash. Sometimes it takes the wisdom of a child to help adults with perspective. Take 7-year-old Lilly Drasin, for example.
