Quarles lends support to summer feeding program bill By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles has lent his support to The Hunger Free Summer for Kids Act, a bipartisan bill that includes flexibility for summer feeding site sponsors to reach schoolchildren in hard-to-reach areas of rural states like Kentucky. "When I first took office as Agriculture Commissioner, I traveled the state and spoke with food banks and summer meal site operators about the bureaucratic rules and regulations that complicate serving meals to hungry kids during the summer months," Commissioner Quarles said. "This bill will allow more flexibility for summer feeding programs to meet kids where they are." The bill, introduced by Republican Leader U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), adds additional flexibility and choice in existing federal child nutrition programs, which would allow states to better ensure children in rural areas are not treated unfairly when school is out of session. Currently, children must travel to a central location and eat their meals together. In rural areas, it can be difficult for children to reach a site, if a site even exists.

Art is more than Decoration By Stacey Biggs Glasgow, KY - It is often the unexpected touches in a home that make it memorable, and there are multiple special touches throughout the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home that are no exception. Even doors can be transformed into works of art with a bit of creativity, an artistic technique, and craftsmanship that is learned through years of practice. The doors of both the Prayer Room and the Meditation Room at the Hospice Home are just such works of art. The beautiful, custom stained glass inserts were designed and hand-crafted by Dr. Bharat Mody, who was also the lead philanthropist who helped to make the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home a reality. "If we were to have commissioned the artwork for these doors, it would have cost thousands of dollars," said Randy Burns, Executive Director of the T.J. Community Mission Foundation. "For Dr. Mody, it was a passion project and a way for him to lend his tremendous artistic talent to the facility."

For those Disney enthusiasts, Gabe played Ryan and Ty played Jack Scott. They did a great job with the singing and dancing.
