OPENING … Swanton resident Debra Helwig has opened an art studio at 201 S. Main St. in Swanton. For Debra, who began drawing and painting at an early age, it is a longtime dream realized. The studio contains a lot of her own paintings and she plans on painting classes and possibly art summer camps in the future. Photo Caption: Debra Helwig cuts the ribbon with her husband Earl.
