A Wyoming couple havehelped to bring a little piece ofheaven to Carthage.
Veronica and Bobby Unger,who are members at WyomingBaptist Church, learned aboutan outreach program startedby their neighbor and fellowparishioner, Janie Roots.
Roots had grown up in Car-thage, and attended CarthageChristian Church as a kid. Shehad introduced the Wyomingchurch to Heaven’s Cafe,which serves ameal to the Car-thage community at the churchevery Friday.
Friendship MethodistChurch, Wyoming BaptistChurch and New JerusalemBaptist Church provide foodfor threeof theFridays, and theUnger family feeds the com-munity one Friday eachmonth.
Involvement in Heaven’sCafe served as a catalyst forVeronica Unger to start Heav-en’s Pantry, a free grocerystore for those in need.
Every third Friday, the pan-try serves more than 130 fam-ilies, providing non-perishablegoods and personal care itemsas well.
“Theywork very hard,” saidRoots, who serves as directorof Heaven’s Cafe.
Their reward?“The gratitude of the recipi-
ents,” she said.OnarecentFridaynight,Ve-
ronica Unger oversaw thepreparation of a meal for 100.Guests were served turkeyburgers, broccoli soup, maca-roni and cheese, drinks anddessert.
Not just any dessert, either.Wyoming Bakery and Blue-
birdBakery inGlendale donatebaked goods, which are pack-aged and set on a table forguests to take home, as well.
Wyoming Meat Market of-tendonatesmeat for theFridaymeals, and Matthew:25 Minis-tries donates to thepantry eachyear at Christmas.
Heaven’s Pantry recentlybecame affiliated with the Fre-estore Foodbank, Unger said.
“That alleviates some of ourbudget stress,” she said, “be-cause some of the items arefree, and we get some at a re-duced cost.”
Still, donations of food.funds and clothing are alwaysneeded, the twofriendsagreed.
“We purchase paper prod-ucts and personal care items atDollar Tree,” Unger said, “butit’s still a strain on the budget.”
Donations of food items andfunds can be made by callingUnger at 477-4378.
The church also housesHeaven’s Closet, with freeclothing and household linens.
Roots works with her friendto run the closet, which has
grown under the leadership ofUnger, who was blessed withstrong organizational skills.
Sheputs themtogooduse, asshe also works a full-time job.
The dinners are served onFridays at Carthage ChristianChurch, 19 W. 73rd St. in Car-
thage, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30p.m.
The food pantry is open thethirdFridayof themonth, from4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at thechurch.
Clothing donations can bemade by calling Roots at 772-1081.
What started as a pantry offood boxes for 22 families inMarch 2011 has multiplied bysix and is still growing.
“Itwas a call, no doubt aboutit,” Unger said of her involve-ment. “You see that openingand take it, or you pass.
“There are a lot of peoplethat are still hungry, and theyneed that lift.”
“She’s had a missionaryheart forever,” Roots said ofher friend.
“They have become our ex-tended family,” Roots said ofthe visitors to the pantry andcafe. “They feed us.”
Friendship linksneighbors as family
Separated only by a patch oflawn, two neighbors in Wyo-ming have become as close assisters.

door to Marla Brunsmanfor eight years, andBrunsmanhasopenedherdoor, a policy her chil-dren’s friends have cometo enjoy as well.
Brunsman has helpedher friend through a di-vorce, even though she’ssuffered her own loss.
“She lost her own hus-band two years ago, yetshe still was still helpingme through my divorce,”Hall said. “She wentthrough a physical loss,and I went through anemotional loss. We under-stand each other.
“We talk, we laugh, wecry,” Hall said. “She lovestosee joyandhappiness inother people’s lives.
“You get happiness
fromotherpeople’shappi-ness,” Hall told herfriend.
AWyoming resident of20 years, Brunsman livesher philosophy of givingmore than she receives.
“I’ll comehomeandmyyard ismowed,”Hall said.“She even mulched myyard.”
As they chatted,Brunsman reminded Hallshe had made dinner forher to take home that day.
“It’s natural for her,”Hall said of Brunsman’sgiving. “You watch, andhope you can emulate.”
Brunsman attributesher giving nature to atough early life.
“It’s the way you grewup,” she said. “When youhave nothing, you give.”
Long reach of ahelpful hand
Formore than two dec-ades, Geeta Hemani hasknown she doesn’t have tolook far when she has ahousehold crisis.
That’s because BillReichert lives next door,on a Springdale hilltopcul-de-sac.
Reichert is a problemsolver, whether it’splumbing, car trouble ororganizing for a familygathering.
More than that, Hema-ni says, much of what hedoes is on his own initia-tive.
She recalled a springday when the forecastcalled for rain. Substan-tial rain.
She had a pile ofmulchon the driveway, and be-fore the first drop fell,Reichert had organizedthe effort to spread herlandscape.
When it snows, shewakes toacleardriveway,thanks to Reichert.
The list of helpfulchores is long, from mov-ing furniture to inflatingtires.
He even installs lightbulbs.
He collects her mailand takes out the garbagewhen the family is out oftown.
But his generosity isn’tlimited to the neighbornext door.
“When our streetRumpke garbage collec-tor broke his hand andwas still picking up gar-bage with a plaster cast,
Bill was always there tolend a helping hand,” shesaid. “He must have doneit for at least four or fiveweeks, every Thursday.”
Reichert, a retiredteacher, describes him-self as a people person, asanexplanationforhiscon-stant giving.
“I like to help,” Reich-ert said. “I’m observantand when people needhelp, I just do it.”
He puts those qualitiesto work as the head of theCincinnati chapter ofFishing Has No Bound-aries, a national nonprofitorganization that opensthe world of fishing tothose with disabilities.
The Cincinnati chapteroffers an annual two-dayfishing expedition at Co-wan Lake State Park,drawing more than 400participants, caregivers,volunteers, guests andboatproviders foraweek-end of fishing.
Back at home, Rei-chert’s watchful eyemakes Hemani feel safe.
“He is our neighbor-hood watch person,” shesaid. “If he spots a car hedoesnot recognize, hewilljot down their licenseplate.
“He takes good care ofthe whole neighborhood.”
Giving Treebranches out
Susan Wyder taught atSharonville Elementaryfor 30 years, retiring to alife of continuous volun-teerism.
The Springdale resi-dent focuses on the needsof the Princeton schooldistrict, tirelessly helpingthose in need.
“Susan Wyder hastouched many lives overthe years with her gener-osity,” Sharonville teach-er Debbie Loewenstinesaid. “She works endless-ly each and every year toensure that not only chil-dren attending Sharon-ville Elementary have awonderful Christmas, buttheir families as well.”
TheSharonvilleGivingTree began 32 years agowith a single family. Thisyear, 41 families receivedgifts and household goodsthrough donations orga-nized byWyder.
“Princeton is diversein every way,” Wydersaid. “This is awayof eve-ning things out.
“Iwanteverykid takencare of.”
After the holiday sea-son, thegivingandreceiv-ing continues through thePrinceton Closet.
Wyder collects dona-tions at the district’s ad-
ministrative facility inSharonville, where shewashes and dries theclothing on site, then or-ganizes and stores themfor students in need.
“It feels good now,when somebody needssomething, they knowthey can call,” she said.
Donors and recipientscan contact their neigh-borhood elementaryschool to give to or re-ceive from the PrincetonCloset, Wyder said.
“Everyone is her fam-ily,” Sharonville teacherCarla Shroyer said. “Shethinks of everyone elsebefore herself.”
Wyder,whoalso serveson the Princeton Board ofEducation, credits thecommunity for helping tofill the holidaywith cheer.
“My former studentscame in force,” she said ofthe Giving Tree. “Theybrought groceries forfamilies in need.”
But the job is donethrough Wyder’s effortsand organization, Shroyersaid.

WYOMING—Eight years ago,the idea of Jibreel Black enter-ing his final collegiate footballgame as a leader of one of themost storied programs in thecountry seemed like a bit of astretch.
His family moved to theWyoming School District in thesummer of 2006, and Jibreelhad never played a down of or-ganized football. His olderbrother, Larry Jr., was set tostar for theCowboys in the fam-ily’s first year in the neighbor-hood. Jibreel decided to givefootball a try. Eight seasons lat-er,Blackwrappeduphiscollegecareer at the University ofMichigan.OnDec. 28, heplayedhis final game as a starting de-fensive lineman for theWolver-ines.
His growth as a player andperson since that summer dayin 2006 is undeniable. His lead-ership and determination offthe field is even more impres-sive than his success on thefield.Thegeneral studiesmajorgraduated on Dec. 15.
“He’s gotten so much biggerand stronger.He’s had a heck ofa career,” said Bernie Barre,Black’sheadcoachatWyoming.“One of the things I’m mostproud of is that he graduatedfrom the University of Michi-gan in three and a half years. Ithink that’s pretty impressive.”
Degree inhand,Black led theWolverines’ defenseon the fieldone final time in the BuffaloWild Wings Bowl against Kan-sas State Dec. 28. He enteredthegamewith71career tackles,seven sacks, and 14 tackles forloss. Ever the team player, hetransitioned from end to tacklefollowing his sophomore year.He was excited to put on themaize and blue uniform one fi-nal timeandmakeone lastmarkon the program that has made
such a mark on him.“I feel that I becamemore of
a man, learned how to do thingsmore independently, and reallydeveloped a close relationshipwith the University of Michi-gan,” said Black of his time inAnn Arbor.
BarreretiredfromWyomingfollowing the 2011 season, andwas able to go up to Ann Arborto see his former player suit upfor the Wolverines the follow-ing season. After getting toknow Jibreel over his four highschool seasons, Barre was notsurprised to see the defensive
lineman making an impact atMichigan.
“Jibreel is averygood leaderand he always led by example,”said Barre. “He’s a really per-sonable kid and was well-likedby theentire studentbody.He isa leader inschool, not juston thefootball team. Kids follow himbecause of his charisma.”
Over the past eight seasons,Black has honed his natural tal-ent and abilities. He came toWyoming as a raw, untestedhigh school freshman, but bythe time he left he was ready tocompete in the Big Ten. He
played in all 13 of the Wolver-ines’ games as a freshman. Infact, he has played in all 52 ofMichigan’s games over the pastfour seasons. That streak is atestament toBlack’sworkethic,whichcontinues to inspire inhishometown.
“Wyominghasbeenveryfor-tunate to have a lot of kids go onto play in college,” said Barre.“It certainly motivates currentplayers to see those guys andsee how hard they work.”
Black gives credit to Wyo-mingHighSchool andBarre formotivating him in the class-
room.Heisnowfocusedonjoin-ing his big brother, who signedwith theCincinnatiBengals as acollege free agent in 2013, in theNational Football League.
“(Coach Barre) alwayspushed me to be a great personand better leader, to always beaccountable, and to alwayswork hard in the classroom,”said Black. “(Graduating early)was very important, especiallybecause it gives me more timeto prepare for the next step inmy life, which is hopefully theNFL.”

Columnist misses realityI have been receiving your
paper for years, in fact by sonwho is 41 delivered the paper. Ihave been reading your guestcolumnist Richard Schwab col-umn for way too long.
I do not know what world ofmake be leave that he lives inbut it is time to get his Liberalhead out of the sand and see thereal world. He starts of with an-other Liberal lie. “Obama didnot lie.”Mr. SchwabIwould likeyou to go back eight years andtell me something that he saidwas true.
No matter what has hap-pened in this world over thepast years, Obama, Schwab andthe rest of the liberal world hasall yelled its “Bush's fault.” Tellmewhose fault it waswhen thisinsurance plan passed whenover 60 percent of the peoplewere against it. Tell me whopassed this law but said thatthey would use it? Let me helpyou as after reading for col-umns you really do need help. Itwas passed by the Liberal Con-gress and backed by the liberalnews media.
Nowall of a sudden the liber-als that are up for re-electionareoffandrunning trying togetaway from this mess, and try to
blame Bush for what they did..Ifwe had a law that stated all
peoplewhoare running forpub-lic office and all are news re-porters had to pass a polygraphtest, Would President Obamaand you Mr. Schwab pass thetest?

“Anything that can help pre-vent illegal voting is fine withme. Online registration shouldhelp but I do worry about moregovernment NSA metadata for“Big Brother” to watch over.The Acorn group’s voterrecruitingefforts in 2008 raiseda lot of questions as to illegal so-licited votes.

KoreanWar veteran GeneBurt of Springdale shuns fame,but he received his well de-served 15 minutes twice in lessthan a month.
On Nov. 24 he was one of theMarines toreceive a keyto the city anda medallion forhis tour ofduty. Then atthe Dec. 18council meet-ing, his lovingfamily joinedhim as Spring-dale MayorDoyle Websterrepeated the
presentation with praise, hon-oring Gene for his many con-tributions to Springdale as wellas his country. Council mem-bers also expressed accoladesand deep appreciation.
Gene was quick to say thatthose who didn’t come back arethe ones who should be hon-ored. He repeated this themeduring our interview – “I don’twant to blowmy own horn;others deserve the glory.”
Gene was born in Alexan-dria, KY. He joined the Navy inJanuary 1951. After boot campin San Diego and medical train-ing in Maryland, it was on toWashington, D.C., and a trans-fer to the Fleet Marine Forcein 1952 as it was common forthe Navy to supply hospitalcorpsmen to the Marines. Hereceived self preservationtraining in Del Mar, CA.
By 1952 he was in Koreabeing shot at and shootingback. Wounded, Gene spentthree months recuperating inJapan before returning to ac-tive duty in Korea. He served2-1/2 years in the Marines andwas discharged in 1954.
In spite of having six chil-dren, his dad was drafted inWWII and survived to becomechief engineer at WintonWoods Lake. Gene moved herewhen he got out of the service,and began a 58-year love affairwith his wife, Cherie, who wasfromGlendale. He met Cheriethrough his sister. They mar-ried in 1955 and Gene thinksthe marriage just might last.He feels blessed to have their five children and seven grand-
children living close by.The Burts moved to Spring-
dale about 50 years ago, havingfirst lived in Wyoming andthen Sharonville. He taught atA.J. Jolly School in New Rich-mond, Kentucky, worked atCoca Cola and General Electricand retired from 30 years atP&G Ivorydale.
Gene used to go fishing,hunting, and boating. He swamacross the Ohio River as a kid,played basketball and baseballin high school and says heplayed cards like crazy in themilitary. He and Cherie travelto Myrtle Beach once or twice
a year and have enjoyed thebeauty of Destin, FL, whereone side of the jetty divides theocean from the beach.
While stationed at CampLejeune, he cruised to SanJuan and a sister island, head-quarters for Marine excur-sions. Gene says he has nohankering to travel out of thecountry.
These days he and his nine-year-old buddy, Duke the labra-doodle, enjoy each other’scompany, watching the Redsand Kentucky basketball. Dukeeven has his own commem-orative brick at the city’s vet-eran’s memorial. On the Parks
and Recreation Commissionfor 18 years, Gene is also amember of the Springdale/Forest Park Lions Club thatmeets there the second andfourth Mondays of the month.Recently Gene has grown adistinguished looking beardfor the first time that I hope hekeeps

St. Vincent de Paul volun-teers visit the homes of neigh-bors in need and experiencethe heart-wrenching effects ofpoverty first hand. When afamily slips into distress, thepain is almost tangible.
A mother who lives in aWestside neighborhood, worndown by worry because herutility bill is late and her chil-dren are sleeping on the coldfloor. An adult man on thebrink of tears because his chil-dren have nothing to eat fordinner in their small cityapartment. An elderly couple,living in an Eastside suburb,forced to decide between los-ing their home and foregoingtheir life-saving prescriptionmedications.
Our communities have ex-perienced a lot of changes thisyear: food stamp cuts, healthcare changes, and an economythat seems to be turning
around forsome, but hasleft many fam-ilies behind.We see thedirect effectsof thesechanges firsthand each day,the most dev-astating beingthe impact onchildren.
Every day, our volunteersvisit the homes of parents whowork multiple part-time jobsso they can keep food on thetable, or who have sold the lastof their possessions so thatthey can keep the lights on.
When our volunteers deliv-er gifts to the homes of neigh-bors in need, they are blessedto witness what one act ofkindness can mean to a strug-gling family. A child gigglingwith joy as they bounce on
their new bed, a mother withtears streaming down her faceas her children’s Christmasgifts are carried into her home,a family gathered together onChristmas morning with hopefor a brighter new year.
You can inspire hope andmake love grow in the heartsof a family in need by:
» Supporting “Food Fromthe Heart” the next time youvisit a local Kroger by Jan. 4.Ask your child to pick out theirfavorite non-perishable foodand place it in the barrel at thedoor.

At the start of eachnew year with you, I liketo talk about food trends.
Locallysourcedcontinuesto be a bigfactor,along withhome-madebiscuitsinstead ofbuns andbread forsand-wiches.
Another trend is healthi-er kids meals: yogurt,applesauce and bakedfries for fried.
Gluten-free (no sur-prise) items will be abun-dant in restaurants and atthe grocery.
Chefs will use nuts ascoating for poultry andfish instead of flour.
Veggies galore, espe-cially cauliflower, will becooked simply or withflavorful herbs andspices as mains andsides.
Heirloom beans andpeanuts are “in” and areeasily grown. Peanutshide under the groundand kids love to harvestthese.
Rice is big this year.You’ll see a dizzyingvariety, from instant tobrown to the new darlingof the food world: Caroli-na Gold. This is thegrandfather of long-grainrice here and, dependingupon the way it’s cooked,can be made into fluffyrice or creamy risotto.
Tea is here to stay. Getout mom’s tea set andenjoy a relaxing andhealthy cup of tea. Teacontains polyphenols,antioxidants that aregood for our heart, teeth,eyes and general goodhealth.
As far as wild edibles,I’m right on top of it. I’vemade pine needle tea(high in vitamins A andC) for years and now it’shit the big time. It has a
minty, piney flavor. Lookfor ground pine needletea at health food stores.
Ditto for sumac lem-onade. We have sumactrees (not the poisonsumac!) growing alongour old country road andin late August they bear abeautiful, cone-shapedred fruit perfect for tart,healthy lemonade. Acaution here: Alwaysmake a positive identifi-cation when picking wildedibles. There are manynon-edible look-a-likesout there.
Rita’s vegetarian redbeans and rice
My twist on Hoppin’John, the traditional NewYear’s dish. Rice andbeans together make aprotein-filled dish. Addsautéed shrimp or chick-en for a non-vegetarianmeal. Use your favoritebeans.

Thieves have figuredout a new way to stealyour money and it doesn’tinvolve sending you badchecks.
Once again they preyon people who can leastafford to lose money:those seeking a loan.
Krystal, I’ll just useher first name, wroteabout her mother’s needfor a loan while out ofwork following surgery.She turned to the In-
ternet andfound lotsof websitesofferingloans. Af-ter apply-ing at oneof them,she re-ceived acall sayingshe wasapprovedfor the
$2,000 she was request-
ing.But first, she was told,
she had to prove shecould cover her first loanpayment. She told thelender she wouldn’t sendhimmoney before get-ting the funds.
“He answered, ‘No, ofcourse not. We just needto verify you’ll be able tomake the payment,’”Krystal wrote.
Krystal says she wasinstructed to go a localdrug store, get a VanillaCard and load it with $150so they could verify thefunds.
“He then hadmymother give him theinformation off the cardso he could verify thefunds. He told her every-thing was great and thathe needed to place her onhold so he could go aheadand finalize the trans-action. He came back onthe line and said that, dueto her credit, would shebe able to verify a second
month’s payment foranother $150 on the Vanil-la Card? She told him,‘No,’” Krystal wrote.
At this point Krystalsays she and her motherwere suspicious, beganresearching the card anddiscovered the so-calledlender was buying timeso he could pull the fundsoff the Vanilla ReloadCard. By the time theybegan trying to downloadthe funds from the cardthemselves, the “lender”had already taken all themoney.
They called the localpolice who had themcontact the Vanilla Net-work to see if they couldlearn where the moneyfrom the card was re-
leased. She was told ithad been placed into theaccount of a pre-paiddebit card so the moneycould now be taken andused anywhere without atrace.
“All said and done thisscam has me out of pock-et over $170,” Krystalwrote.
She’s not alone, I re-ceived a letter from aHarrison area man whoalso applied for an onlineloan and was sent to thestore to buy a Green DotMoney Pack. He loaded$375 on the card anddidn’t realize it was ascam until they got an-other $282 from him.
The Federal TradeCommission says legiti-
mate lenders never“guarantee” or say you’relikely to get a loan or acredit card even beforeyou apply – especially ifyou have bad credit, nocredit or a bankruptcy.
Bottom line, beware ofthese newmethods usedto steal your money. Re-member, online lendingoffers are often justscams and a quick way tolose your money.
