Throughout the year, the South Campus of Southern State Community college exhibits several works from local artists each month. The current exhibit, which runs throughout April, features Wilmington painter Da-vid Kline. The public is invited to a meet-the-artist reception from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, April 22, in the Learning Resources Center at SSCC’s South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, Fincastle. Refresh-ments will be served.
Kline began drawing and painting seriously at age 16. On the farm in Port William, he en-joyed drawing barns, houses, live-stock, streams and virtually any subject that caught his eye. His high school art teacher, James McCarty, was an early influence on his work.
A student of the Dayton Art Institute, Kline was in the juried All Ohio Painting and Sculpture Show his first year there. He later moved to Pennsylvania, always finding new and exciting subject matter. There he met Japanese artist Maya Shock, who was a great influence on his work.
Kline moved back to Ohio and pursued his lifelong hobby of raising homing pigeons.

His sketches of the birds landed him a job as an illustrator for Racing Pigeon News, a magazine with world-wide circulation.
In 2008, he was featured with a one-man show at Wilmington Col-lege and received honors at South-ern State Community College.
Last summer, he displayed his art at the Miamisburg Art Gallery and the Dayton Art Institute Museum.
For the past three years, his work has received honors at the show held by the Southern Hills Art Council in Jackson.
Kline now lives in Wilmington, still painting the rural scenes that so inspired him in his earlier years.
Admission to Southern State’s Meet the Artist event is free and open to the public.

BOARD/Cont’d from Page 1
“The college has taken a great stride recently in initiating a human resource department, and this addi-tion to the administrative structure is taking care of some issues that may have been easy to overlook without that function. Additionally, the new advising and retention services area will provide a vital resource to help-ing more of our students experience even more success and completion of programs.
“One of the areas that is a sig-
nificant concern to me is the need for additional academic support and leadership so that we are better posi-tioned to develop new programs and courses, evaluate and further develop both full-time and adjunct faculty, and manage all of the partnerships and collaborations that are becoming our new way of life.”
Dr. McCall emphasized that fac-ulty members are handling the in-crease in enrollment in stride, but that a new organizational structure would better serve the institution and its stu-dents.
In other business, the board voted unanimously to approve: a corporate resolution to authorize Dr. Boys as signer on all accounts; a resolution to offer an alternative retirement plan; and a resolution offering support for the Third Frontier ballot issue.
The board then entered into ex-ecutive session for the purpose of discussing collective bargaining.
The next meeting of the SSCC Board of Trustees will be 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 12, 2010.
