Mayor Kowalik Announces Bus Driver Appreciation Day

FRECOSTA (April 2) – Mayor Ed Kowalik has declared April 21 the city’s first
ever Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Bus riders are asked to greet drivers with a
warm hello and one of the city’s specially designed thank-you cards, which can
be printed out from www.frecosta.gov/transitappreciation. As an added gesture
of gratitude, Mayor Kowalik will invite bus drivers to attend a sporting event
free of charge next month.
Because the city’s population has increased over the last two years, Frecosta’s
bus drivers have had to cope with frequent changes to bus routes. However,
next year’s long-anticipated opening of the Frecosta subway line is expected to
alleviate some of the stress on drivers while creating more jobs. The subway
line will connect the Bargain Town Shopping Center on the western end of the
city with Frecosta Stadium, which is located on the eastern end.

New Look for Rhee Poultry

LEEDS (17 February) – Rhee Poultry, suppliers of fresh and frozen poultry,
announced on Monday a change to its packaging practices. Starting on 31
October, every package of chicken, duck, goose, and turkey sold at retail will
be labeled with the city and country where the meat was sourced.
According to company spokesperson In Sook Kim, Rhee will make
modifications to its production, packing and shipping facilities that will cost an
estimated $400,000 over a transition period of eight months.
“The high price tag is more than worth it to maintain the trust our customers
have always found in Rhee Poultry products,” added Ms. Kim.
Rhee’s announcement was made following criticism regarding transparency
in sourcing practices leveled at other meat packaging conglomerates that sell
in the United Kingdom, such as Supragood and Char Bo Lynn, Inc.
“We felt it was in the best interests of our customers to be proactive in this
matter.” said Ms. Kim.

Pavel Hotel Open by Lavonne Coe

(Centerville – March 2) Former city court judge Midred Simpson joined
owner Patrice Snell yesterday to celebrate the opening of The Pavel Hotel
in downtown Centerville, between the library and the visitors center. Once
the city’s courthouse and Ms. Simpson’s workplace, the existing structure
had been vacant for the past nine years. Now the space boasts 34 elegant
rooms, an inviting lounge with fireplace, and a gorgeous lobby. An on-site
café is expected to open next month. The interior, designed by Miles Sorrel,
retains the old features of the building, such as expansive windows and
high ceilings, while creating a warm and inviting space.
