BURLINGTON — Crystal ClearCleaning Inc., a 17-year-old Bur-lington-based commercialcleaning company, will be hon-ored for its commitment to pro-viding jobs for adults with phys-ical disabilities and social chal-lenges.

Crystal Clear Cleaning wasnamed “Employer of the Year”by IKRON Corp., an organiza-tion that partners with the cityof Cincinnati to provide employ-ment services and job place-ment for adults with physicaldisabilities. The name stands

for “Integration of Knowledgeand Resources for OccupationalNeeds.”

Chad Marshall, president ofCrystal Clear Cleaning, will ac-cept the award April 2 duringIKRON’s annual meeting in Cin-cinnati.

“Crystal Clear Cleaning waschosen for IKRON’s Employerof the Year because of their will-ingness to offer opportunities toa wide variety of our job candi-dates,” said Randy Strunk, IK-RON executive director. “Theircommitment to providing aquality interview environment,a safe, healthy and flexible workenvironment, and a collabora-

tive approach to working withour agency are a few of the waysthey are a top employer in ourcommunity.”

According to IKRON, Mar-shall’s company has been will-ing to engage outside supportsystems for these employeesand sometimes moves individ-uals to different positions in or-der to maximize their strengthsand comfort level. The companyhas also had less turnover withthese employees than the na-tional average for this industry.

Marshall said 13 of his 52 em-ployees had been placedthrough IKRON since he startedworking with the organization in

2014, and all but one are stillworking there.

“The employees who come tous from IKRON are hard-work-ing and dedicated to our custom-er’s cleaning needs,” said Mar-shall. “Crystal Clear’s partner-ship with IKRON not only helpspeople with social and physicalchallenges find steady jobs, ithelps my company serve our cli-ents with committed employ-ees.”

BURLINGTON — Boone Coun-ty’s Historic Courthouse in Bur-lington could become a commu-nity events center, if the recom-mendations of a county commit-tee are followed.

Boone County’s governmentand community relations coor-dinator Matthew Webster pre-sented the facts and recommen-dations from his “Action Team”during the Boone County FiscalCourt’s April 7 meeting. Theteam’s goal was to explore pos-sible uses for the space while

keeping in mind the site’s his-torical significance.

The courthouse, built in 1889at the corner of WashingtonStreet and Burlington Pike, wasreplaced by the Justice Centeron Rogers Lane in 2003. The his-toric structure includes officespaces on the first and secondfloors and a second-floor court-room.

“This space should be recon-figured into a multi-use config-uration that will meet a myriadof needs. The space is mostwell-suited to a theater-style ar-rangement. The action team en-visions a space able to meet

multiple needs with prioritygiven to the arts, such as com-munity theater, shows and mu-sic, weddings, presentations,lectures, educational functions,community gatherings andcounty programming,” saidWebster. “The underlyingpremise should be the creationof a community event and activ-ity center.”

Webster said the countycould use more event space, butin order to be useful, they willneed to add sound system, wire-less Internet, projection

workspace filled with pre-cision machinery that cre-ates parts for airplanesand luxury cars.

Barbara, who has alearning disability, wasplaced with Marshall’scompany through IK-RON, and he said it’s agreat job.

According to Myles,“Chad treats all employ-ees with respect and willhelp them out if they needhelp. It’s a great companyto work for.”

Marshall feels thesame about the employ-

ees he hired through IK-RON.

“They’ve been great.It’s definitely been a joyfor me,” he said. “I’d liketo bring awareness totheir work so other or-ganizations can utilize IK-RON’s services.

Another parent, JeanNeltner, of California,said Milestones is a spe-cial place. Being a part of

the equestrian therapyprogram has had a big im-pact on her daughter.

“It’s helped her somuch,” she said. “It’s in-creased her motor skills,has helped her build abond with animals andhow to take care of ani-mals. There’s such a spe-cial bond between peopleand animals. Being a riderhas helped her confi-dence. This is a greatplace where they teach ata level she can learn.”

In addition to the sec-ond-floor communityspace, the action teamrecommended the first-floor office space should“be reclaimed and utilizedas a county paper archivefor historical documentsof importance to BooneCounty and a display areafor Boone County arti-facts and pieces.”

Webster received ap-proval to engage an archi-tectural consultant to ana-lyze the structure and

needs of the building thathas sat mostly unoccu-pied for a decade.

According to Judge-ex-ecutive Gary Moore,“What we do here hopeful-ly will protect the build-ing and preserve thebuilding and also helpsupport our local busi-nesses and bring moretraffic into Burlington.We don’t want to do thingsthat would compete withthe private sector butcomplement the privatesector. If we can do thingsthat complement our busi-nesses, that would be anadded positive to the pro-ject.”

FORT WRIGHT — Linda Hornsbyloves how the James A. RamageCivil War Museum brings historyto life.

“My favorite thing about themuseum is when families visit themuseum and I get the opportunityto watch the children become ex-cited about Civil War history,” saidHornsby, the museum’s volunteercoordinator and board member.“We see this a lot during our Bat-tery Hooper Days (held in the fall)when we have living history exhib-its and re-enactors.”

That’s why the museum’s main

fundraiser, the Blue & Gray Din-ner, is so important, Hornsby said.The annual event, in its fifth year,raises funds to help support themuseum’s operations, exhibits,and programs throughout theyear.

This year’s dinner will be April23 at Twin Oaks Golf and Planta-tion Club in Latonia. The cocktailhour with a cash bar will be 6-7p.m. and dinner starts at 7 p.m.This year, in honor of his retire-ment from Northern KentuckyUniversity, Dr. James A. Ramage,the museum’s founder, will be hon-ored. Guest speaker will be Sen.Chris McDaniel.

Entertainment will be provided

by the Forget-Me-Not HistoricalDance. Museum board presidentJeannine Kreinbrink said she islooking forward to the perfor-mance.

“They will present historicaldance from the Civil War era,” shesaid. “The dancers will discuss theorigins and styles of dance andprovide demonstrations. Aftersome presenting, they will ‘teach’those willing attendees of ourevent a few of the dances. Theywill be in period attire, dancing toperiod music.”

WALTON — Jordan Stephensonis determined to make his dreamof owning a successful restaurantcome true.

The 30-year-old restaurateurwill soon be starting a crowd-fund-ing campaign with indiegogo.comto open The Woodland Inn, 14042Dixie Highway, Walton, in southKenton County.

This is Stephenson’s second tryat a restaurant at this location. Hisfirst, The Stephenson Mill, closedlast fall after about seven monthsof operation.

Business was good and “peopleenjoyed coming in,” Stephensonsaid. He just couldn’t make ends

meet.“When I started, I had to fix the

building up and there just wasn’tenough money to cover operatingcosts,” he said. “I even sold one ofmy cars to try to keep going. Wereally needed to advertise but justcouldn’t afford it.”

When he made the decision toclose Stephenson Mill, he prom-ised himself and his regulars thatit wouldn’t be forever.

“I’m hoping to find an investoror silent partner to back me,” Ste-phenson said in a phone interviewafter his closing message wasposted on Facebook in October.

He opted to try a trending routeof a crowd funding campaign,where any individual can pledgeany amount of funds to help.

“I think this is the route to go,”he said. “It gets the community in-volved. I’ve gotten 100 percentpositive feedback, people reallyenjoyed coming to us for good foodand entertainment.”

This time when Stephensonopens his doors – he hopes laterthis summer – his restaurant willbe called The Woodland Inn, pay-ing homage to the building’s histo-ry dating to 1941.

Back then, building was hometo the rural eatery known as Wood-land Inn and it was rumored tohave hosted illegal gambling andprostitution. Then-owner Glenn“Bulldog” Wright” boasted thearea’s best prime rib.

HONOR ROLL

The Covington Latin School seniorclass performed Shakespeare’s“Merry Wives of Windsor” lastmonth.

The play was directed by seniorKaleigh Howland, a Boone Countyresident.

Kaleigh, who has attended sum-mer camps with the CincinnatiShakespeare Company and has stud-ied at College-Conservatory Music atUniversity of Cincinnati for the pasteight years, set the play in the 1950s.

“When we approach Shakespeare,I feel like we can get so easily de-tached from the people and the sto-ries. Even though in reality the sto-ries are timeless. As such, ‘The Mer-ry Wives of Windsor’ can be played inany time frame,” Kaleigh said.

“The 1950s in particular I thinkworks really well because of thethemes of love, money, feuds andmischief. It brought ‘Grease’ to mindimmediately and we definitely drewfrom ‘Grease’ for a lot of the charac-ters.”

Matt Krebs, dean of students andDrama Department chair, said, “Ka-leigh did a fine job directing the play,drawing on her vast experience onstage and in films. She has particularexperience in acting Shakespearewhich proved invaluable for ourshow.”

The Cincinnati Shakespeare Com-pany invited Covington Latin to be apart of Project 38. CSC collaboratedwith 38 different area schools overthe course of the year. Each schoolwas given one of Shakespeare’s 38plays to bring to life. Schools choseeverything from videos to visual artto traditional productions. The Pro-ject 38 Festival will take place April15-22, the week of Shakespeare’sbirthday.

Besides presenting the play atschool, Covington Latin will againperform “The Merry Wives of Wind-sor” on April 21 at Memorial Hall.

A6 • BCR RECORDER • APRIL 16, 2015 NEWS

Today I’m going to talkabout wine. Now I’m not con-fessing to be an expert onwine – words like fruity, oakyand big are not terms I use ona daily basis but I do enjoywine as a social drink andespecially in cooking.

My only foray into makingwine was dandelion wine a fewyears ago and it just aboutblew up in the garage.

No more homemade winemaking for me!

Cooking with wineThere’s something magical

when you cook with wine.Wines enhance food by tende-rizing and moisturizing whileimparting unbeatable flavor.

It’s not onlyabout taste,although cer-tainly the fruityand acidic as-pects add nu-ances and spikesof flavor.

The alcohol inwine actuallypulls flavors outand carries

them into food. To see what Imean, add wine to a skilletthat was used to sauté food. Asyou scrape up caramelizedbits of food on the bottom,called deglazing, the winegoes to work, giving the fin-ished sauce an incomparableflavor. If you added merely

water, juice or broth to de-glaze, they could not dissolveand pull flavors out the waythe alcohol in wine does.

Dry or sweet?I like dry wines because I

don’t want a sweet wine toaffect flavor. Use what youlike to drink. Don’t use thatnasty stuff in the bottle la-beled “cooking wines,” whichare loaded with salt and pre-servatives. They are usuallyon the same shelf as vinegars,and can be sold even on Sun-day because the alcohol con-tent is minute.

If you are deglazing addwine to skillet before you addanything else. Let it boil a bit

to reduce acids and tannins.This is key to prevent curdlingif you are adding dairy prod-ucts.

Balancing act: pairingwines with food

Here’s where it can getconfusing. Is it red with beef,white with poultry and sea-food, champagne for the toast?To play it safe, try white wineswith seafood and poultry andmore assertive red wines withgame and beef. But, hey, todayjust about anything goes. Soit’s up to you.

Wine terms:Dry: Wine that’s not sweet

with no residual sugar.

Big: Rich, full-bodied, real-ly flavorful and assertive.

Fruity: The aroma of freshfruit should hit you here. Andit’s not just grapes, but applesand berry aromas, too.

Oaky: The wine has a warmvanilla flavor and fragrance,coming from the fact that thewine has been aged in new oakbarrels.

Rita’s guide to cooking with wine

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Wine and herb marinated chicken

I cut up the chicken and put it in the marinade for kebobs. I threadedbell peppers and onions on the kebobs between the chicken. You can alsoleave the chicken whole.

Palmful parsley, chopped2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped or a generous teaspoon dried1⁄4 cup dry white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc1⁄4 cup olive oil1 nice lemon, juice and zest of2 large garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons1 tablespoon black olives, finely chopped (optional but good)3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Mix marinade ingredients and pour into large baggie. Add chickenand before sealing baggie, remove air by laying baggie on its side beforesealing and smoothing out the air. Refrigerate for 2 hours or so. Reservemarinade. Grill on medium high, covered, about 7 minutes per side or untildone, basting every few minutes with marinade. Serve with yogurt sauce ifyou like.

Yogurt sauce

No real recipe, but just stir together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup sourcream, some chopped parsley, a teaspoon or so minced garlic and salt andpepper to taste.

From a student’s point ofview

In today’s youth, societymight think we are all accept-ing, but sadly enough we arenot. We have come a long waysince the 1950s though we arestill not finished. In manyschools there are still manycases of homophobia.

My name is Hunter Cowdreyand I support equal rights eventhough I am not a homosexual. Iam an ally with a big heart. I amcurrently enrolled in BooneCounty schools, more specifi-cally Conner High School. Ihave friends that are targetedfor bullying for loving the samesex. It is 2015. You usually heardthis 30 or 40 years ago.

Many of you reading this areprobably thinking “Oh one of

these letters,” but please con-tinue reading this. I know it getsbetter, I think it is like thatphrase, it’s like a band aid, it willheal some cuts but if the cut isdeep enough it won’t fully heal.

There are gay teens out therethinking that they are all alonewho may take a drastic turn,commit suicide. Teen suicide isat an all-time high, there aremany factors including elec-tronics, social media, etc.

Some teens don’t know thatthey could be using homophobicslurs. These can make peoplefeel like second-class citizen forthe way they are born, even ifyou don’t think they are. I knowthis is a controversial topic butwe are all humans trying to liveon this big rock called Earth.

Last week’s questionThe state General Assembly

passed House Bill 340 which ex-pands the state’s film tax creditsin order to create more film pro-duction in the commonwealth.Do you want to see more moviesmade in Kentucky? Where aregood locations to film? Whatmovie star do you want to cometo Kentucky to make a movie?

“My nephew, Brad Riddell,who is a screenwriter, is on theboard (I forget the exact term)for the advancement of Ken-tucky filming. Brad is a UKgrad, and MFA from USC, hiscurrent residence is in the Chi-cago area as he is an adjunctprofessor in screenwriting atDePaul University, however hestill considers Kentucky hishome and where his heart re-sides. He has made a number ofdocumentaries about Kentuckyand the film industry ... so ‘Yes,’I’m all for it!”

Sherry Riddell Walters

“Ryan Gosling.”Tiffany Buchanan

“The General Assemblywasted the entire session on do-ing anything to distract frompension and educational re-form. They passed a heroin billthat lacked the necessary teeth,a bill that is going to make yourKentucky CCDW meaninglessin other states, allocated no fu-ture funding or planning on theBrent Spence corridor and wewant to talk about tax creditsfor movie production? Yikes.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat summer in Cincinnatievent are you most lookingforward to, and why?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] Ch@troom in the subject line.

Our tri-county communitysuffered the loss of a oncegreat leader earlier this month;but the model he left will sure-ly endure. Wherever he waspresent, he was in a leadershipmode, advancing the ball. Theworks of a good man shouldnot go unnoticed nor uncele-brated with his passing.

Some of us do things whichare visual, like build tall build-ings that speak to the futureand signify change. Othersfocus in a multiplicity of otherways, politically, charitably,creating employment opportu-nity, serving on boards, joiningforces to make a difference intheir community’s future. Den-nis B. Griffin did all of those

while he wasbuilding thenext stages ofa strong, suc-cessful GriffinIndustriesenterprise. Iremember himmost as a lead-er, also as ashoulder-to-shoulder part-ner in what-ever action

was for the common good.I remember the many ses-

sions in 1981 when Dennis andI, and Gordon Martin, Matth.Toebben and Wayne Carlisle,as members of the Governor’s(John Y. Brown) Economic

Development Task Force, la-bored weekly and loyally for atleast 10 months, every Mondayevening from 5 p.m., oftenuntil 2 a.m., trying to developwhat became known as thevery first vision for the com-munity, a book, a plan, pro-jects, titled “Northern Ken-tucky’s Future.”

In those lively meetings,Dennis was energetic and in-strumental, he was an instiga-tor for spirited and extendeddebate. In a way that only Den-nis could, he provided leader-ship that led to ultimate hon-esty concerning, for example,“Who we were as a community– and who we were not – andwho we could be in what was a

divided and fragmented pop-ulation of only 220,000 at thetime. Actively engagedthroughout, he forced consen-sus, and a bond among those inthe group that extended to thewider community, that whichhas given rise to more changeover the 34 years since, thanwe know or fully recognize.

What has occurred in North-ern Kentucky, on the river-bank, in the suburbs, in ourschool systems, in our electedoffices, in our social outreach,has in big part been the workof a once vocal, dedicated andcommitted community contrib-utor, Dennis B. Griffin. And itneeds to be said, and this willbe said by many as we reflect

Financial abuse is perva-sive, crippling and often hid-den. Though less apparentthan physical or emotionalabuse, financial perpetratorsprevent their victims fromacquiring, using, or maintain-ing financial resources. Abus-ers isolate spouses or part-ners, preventing them fromwork or transportation orseizing victims’ income. Vic-tims may have their spendingtightly monitored and re-stricted by a partner or worryexcessively about how theirpartner will react to simple,everyday purchases.

Money and finances playan important role for manyvictims when consideringwhether to leave an abusiverelationship. Behind fear,financial factors are thestrongest predictor of a vic-tim’s decision to stay, leave, orreturn to an abusive relation-ship. Many survivors havelimited or no access to moneyor have had their financialsecurity destroyed by theirabuser.

Economic empowerment isthe key to breaking the cycleof violence over generations.Financial stability and self-sufficiency are necessaryprecursors for leaving andabstaining from abusive rela-tionships. Over 10 years, theAllstate Foundation has givenmore than $40 million to na-tional, state, and local domes-tic violence programs throughits partnership with the Na-tional Network to End Domes-tic Violence (NNEDV) to sup-

port economicempowermentservices.Since 2005,the KentuckyCoalitionAgainst Do-mestic Vio-lence and itsmember pro-grams – in-cluding theWomen’s Cri-

sis Center in Covington – havereceived more than $900,000in grants for this work.

In addition to grant dollars,financial education sessionswith Allstate agents providesurvivors and advocates theopportunity to connect withprofessionals in the financialmainstream – often a firstopportunity for victims offinancial abuse. I am gratefulfor the opportunity to connectwith those in need in my owncommunity. Volunteering withsurvivors at the Women’sCrisis Center has been a trulyrewarding experience, whichhas offered me a deepenedunderstanding of barriers toself-sufficiency for survivorsand a chance to empowermembers of my community tobecome financially strong.

Survivors are often facedwith the devastation of leav-ing behind a home, income,and sense of financial securitywhen leaving abusers. Re-gardless of a survivor’s educa-tion, job skills, or personalearning potential, all survi-vors must overcome the chal-lenge of financial stability if

they are to care for their fam-ilies and live more safe andsecure lives.

The Women’s Crisis Centerprovides survivors with emer-gency shelter, individual andgroup counseling, services forchildren who have witnessedviolence, and tools to achievefinancial stability. Generousfunding from the AllstateFoundation funds a Car IDAprogram for survivors – aone-to-one matched savingsprogram, which helps survi-vors secure reliable trans-portation to and from work.Allstate Foundation fundingalso supports a credit-buildingmicroloan program, financialeducation and counseling, andasset-building services – dem-onstrating the foundation’sbelief in the financial poten-tial of each individual andsupporting families’ access tothe American dream.

If you suspect a friend orfamily member is in an abu-sive relationship, the mostimportant thing you can do isto let them know that theyhave support and options toleave the relationship. If youare concerned about the safe-ty of your friend or familymember, or to learn aboutvictim services in your area,contact the National DomesticViolence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or 1-800-787-3224.

PARK HILLS — Growing up inCanton, Ohio, Lou Fries saw la-crosse take hold in northeasternOhio and is hoping the samething happens in Northern Ken-tucky eventually.

Fries is the first-year headcoach of the lacrosse programat Covington Catholic, one ofthree programs in NorthernKentucky to take on the clubsport. CovCath has had the

sport for about a decade. DixieHeights also has a team, and thethird is an all-star team calledthe Northern Kentucky War-riors which is mostly comprisedof Beechwood students but hasplayers from other schools.

Fries hopes the sport is sanc-tioned by the Kentucky HighSchool Athletic Associationeventually but that can onlyhappen when more schoolsshow interest.

“That’s one of my main goalsin coaching lacrosse,” Fries

said. “It was catching on innortheast Ohio when I was inmiddle school. It’s just reallyabout starting these programs.One good thing we’re doing isgetting more than 40 kids on myteam. We’ve got about 44 andthat’s great.”

CovCath beat the two otherlocal teams in games April 9and hosts the Warriors onThursday, April 16.

“We had this tournament lastyear,” Fries said. “It was nice tobring back guys from the East-

er break and get them back ontothe field.”

Fries’ goal for the Colonelsthis year is to have a .500 record.They generally play more es-tablished teams downstate inKentucky and in Ohio.

Seniors listed on the CovCathvarsity roster include Joe Mari-no, Alex Beckes, Craig McGhee,Robby Fields, Andrew White-head, Joe Pieper, Alex Wagner,Ben Zumdick, Patrick Hennies,Sam Kathman and ChandlerBrooks.

The coach said lacrosse is agood sport for a variety of ath-letes to enjoy.

“A lot of guys are brand newto the sport,” he said. “One guyjoined us a week and a half agoand he had two goals in a game.It has a lot of contact like foot-ball, the field size of soccer, theendurance of soccer, andscheme-wise it’s a lot like bas-ketball.”

UNION — Playing for an of-ficial Kentucky High SchoolAthletic Association title hascaused the archers at RyleHigh School to step up theirgame.

Sharing the same status asmore established sports suchas basketball and football hashelped the sport at the school,which has had a club team forabout a decade.

“The quality of the kids ismuch higher than yearspast,” said head coach BrendaKlaas, who originated the pro-gram at Ryle. “They weremore focused and they had agoal in mind. Being sanc-tioned, they got more serious;it was not just about havingfun and hanging out. Theywanted to shoot well. Theywere pointing things out toeach other in practice andhelping each other.”

Ryle scored 4,379 out of aperfect 4,800 to easily win the

KHSAA Region 6 champion-ships by 142 points over sec-ond-place Beechwood. Rylewill go to the state tourna-ment April 23 in Lexington.

“We’ve been working real-ly hard,” Klaas said. “I thinkthey have a really goodchance at state. We have astrong group of seniors and alot of good freshmen. I havesome really strong juniorgirls and I’m expecting ourteam to do really well.”

Ryle finished 28th out of 65teams in the state NationalArchery in the Schools Pro-gram tournament in March,which had a similar field towhat the KHSAA tourney has.Klaas is motivating her teamto shoot for the stars andchase the state title.

“All we need to do is bumpup to the next range,” Klaassaid. “If each shooter goes upabout eight points from whatthey did at regionals, we havea chance.”

Ryle won two other tourna-ments including the Beech-

wood tourney, and was secondin the NASP regional tourney.

In the KHSAA regional,seniors Sam Loehrke and Ty-ler Zahn tied for third in theboys standings with a score of285 out of 300. In the NASPstate tourney, Loehrke fin-ished 312th out of more than2,300 competitors. He fin-ished second overall in Ryle’slast home tournament.

Senior Micky King scored281 and was sixth among allboys, third on the Raiders.Emmet Freeman, a sopho-more, ranked 10th out of allboys competitors and first inthe sophomore class out of 20entries.

Seniors Elizabeth Shouse,the top girl on the team in re-gionals, shot a 279 to rankfourth in the girls standingsat regionals. Junior CaitlynKlaas shot a 278 and was tiedfor fifth on the team withfreshman Nicky Guentherand fifth among girls. Klaasranked first among all juniorgirls.

In the previous NASP re-gional, Shouse had a near-per-fect 296. She and CaitlynKlaas will represent Ryle at astatewide all-star tourneyApril 18 in Midway.

For most people, theupcoming months signalthe arrival of fresh, sea-sonal produce, whichpromises eating at itsfinest. However, some-times that produce isn’tas ripe as you need it tobe.

Some produce that hastraveled a great distance

is picked while it is stillgreen and will not be ripewhen it reaches the store.For some fruits, you canspeed up the ripeningprocess at home.

Common fruits thatcan be ripened at homeinclude bananas, canta-loupe, peaches, pears,pineapples and tomatoes.

You can speed up theirripening by placing themin a single layer in alarge paper bag withholes punched through it.

Fold the opening ofthe bag over and leave iton the counter while thefruit ripens. The fruitreleases a gas that is thentrapped in the bag, which

speeds up the ripeningprocess. Check the fooddaily to see whether it’sready to eat. Most fruitwill ripen in a bag withina day or two.

Some produce, in-cluding apples, blueber-ries, cherries, grapes,strawberries and black-berries, will not ripenany more after they havebeen picked. Refrigeratethese fruits immediatelyafter purchase to main-tain the best quality.

One of the best ways

FLORENCE — It is 11:30a.m. and almost lunchtime. You can tell becauseyour stomach startsgrumbling. Unfortunate-ly, you have meetings orcommitments for the nexttwo hours.

What happens next?You start getting cranky,restless and lose concen-

tration while you watchthe hands of the clock tickaway until you can finallyget something to eat.

Now imagine this for achild who must go fromlunchtime at school onFriday until Mondaymorning when they canrush into the cafeteria tofinally eat some break-fast.

Every night and week-end there is a growingnumber of kids in BooneCounty that go hungry ev-ery night and weekend.What is even worse, whenschool is not in sessionduring breaks or the sum-mer, they do not haveschool meals to rely upon.

A group of moms inUnion decided it is unac-ceptable for children to gohungry and decided to dosomething about it.

GOPantry, a mobilepantry that fills the gapfor children relying on theschool system for basicfood needs, was born. Theprogram started with justone school but is expand-ing as the organization isable to make additionalcommitments.

Laura Dumancic, Ste-phanie Fister and BethMcIntre shared the storyof GOPantry with theFlorence Rotary at theclub’s weekly meeting onMarch 16. The army ofvolunteers has grownover the past year as theneed has. Almost everyweek you can find volun-teers at local organiza-tions, schools and busi-nesses running fooddrives for the weekly GO-Bags and GOBoxes distri-butions.

The GOBags arebrown paper bags oftendecorated by local chil-dren which containenough food for a child for

the weekend. The reac-tion from children whenthey receive their GO-Bags is one of excitementin that they will havesomething to eat duringthe weekend.

GOBoxes are a muchlarger effort in that theycontain enough food forthe entire family for theschool break. The amountof food needed for both ef-forts is large and local or-ganizations such as Life-line Ministries and Mas-tersProvision often help.

Dumancic spoke of thegenerosity and encour-agement of local organi-zations helping them withthe cause of feeding hun-gry children. God willprovide for those in need,and when the GOPantrywasn’t sure if they wouldhave enough food for thenext packing, God hasprovided from some ofthe most unlikely sources,she said.

Many members of theRotary community weremoved by the group’s pas-sion and commitment.When asked by Rotarypresident Adam Howardhow Rotary may help, theresponse was a location tostore food and space toprovide the volunteers forpacking the bags and box-es. Currently, the entireoperation is housed inMcIntre’s basement andthe effort is outgrowing itquickly.

The Florence Chick-fil-A is in the top 15 per-cent of all stores nation-ally in sales volume andcustomer experience.DiChiara attributes thesuccess to his belief that
