BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Heather Bonifer has drawn and painted as long as she can remember. While paper and canvas were — and continue to be her primary media — she has added another form of expression to her pallet, opening B&B Tattoo at 108 E. Oak St. earlier this month. Opening the business came at the urging of Bonifer’s daughter and her daughter’s fiance. “They were going to do it, and they encouraged me to try it,” Heather Bonifer explained. “I had thought about doing it years and years ago, but I just never did it. Bonifer’s husband John pitched in by buying a tattooing kit. “I’ve been very busy,” she
said, shortly after putting the finishing touches on a tattoo for Tom Davis. While tattoo artists can sanitize tips and needles, Bonifer prefers to use new ones for each and every client. She bases her fees on the complexity of the design. Before she begins inking a design, Bonifer makes sure the client is ready to proceed. “Take time to think about what you want,” Bonifer said. “Make sure where you want it.” Business hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Additional hours are by appointment by calling 908-5739. “I love doing it,” she said. “My kids are older and in school now. I’m not in it to get rich. I’m in it because I like it.”
WHITING — Chris Diehl, son of Tom and Darlene Diehl of Butler, has been named to the 2013 summer dean’s list at Calumet College of St. Joseph in Whiting. Diehl is pursuing a major in elementary education.

The Eastside Area Community Foundation, represented by president Jerry Markle, recently presented school supplies for students at Butler Elementary School. Principal Kim Clark was pleased to receive the heaping mound of pens and pencils, crayons, colored pencils, spiral notebooks, rulers, erasers and book bags. The Eastside Foundation plans to award up to $7,000 in grants this fall.
BUTLER — The Eastside Area Community Foundation will award up to $7,000 in grants this fall to worthwhile organizations in eastern DeKalb County, including the Butler, St. Joe and Spencerville areas. While primarily known for awarding scholarships to graduating seniors at Eastside Junior-Senior High School, another arm of the foundation is to support community projects when possible. An example of this is a recent gift of $500 in school supplies to Butler Elementary School. “Because of revenues on our investments, it allows us to set aside $7,000 to be awarded in grants for other community projects within the Eastside district,” explained foundation president Jerry Markle. “We are excited to be able to offer this in grants this year, and hope we are able to reach out and support areas in our community that are normally not reached.” Grant applications are available ➤ Foundation, Page 6
