MURRAY Heather Olsen said she grew up admiring her older sister, who has worked as a nurse for over a decade.
So when the COVID-19 pandemic reached Utah and the rest of the country last year, she couldn t shake the image of her sister from her mind as she came across updates on the coronavirus. Basically, when I watched the news I saw all the health care workers. I saw her, Olsen said, reflecting on the earliest days of the pandemic. Just how tired they were, exhausted. And I remembered all the times she came home exhausted.
As the pandemic lingered, Olsen, who is a Utah artist, wanted to do whatever she could to honor the many front-line health care workers who helped patients, especially during times when not very much was known about COVID-19. She also spoke with her sister, who suggested that she paint health care workers.

Colette Nies never expected her volunteerism to turn into a philosophical battle that could change the city of New Braunfels.
Nies, a Democrat fresh off losing to Precinct 3 Commissioner Kevin Webb last November, applied for a mayoral appointment to the city Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for a term ending in January 2023.
âAffordable housing was part of my election platform,â she said. âI used to testify before the Texas House and Senate on those issues â it was in my wheelhouse.
