Prices and offers good through Nov. 30, 2021 By Janice Barniak SG Star-Times Editor editor@sgstartimes.com In February, Kali and Jer- emy Lance said yes to a full- time, three-year mission trip to Cape Town, South A frica, but in her heart, Kali was won- dering "what about our coffee business? " The Lances own Portside Coffee Company, a coffee roasting and drink company, which they've run out of their home for several years, but in November, it's scheduled to open in time for Small Busi- ness Saturday on the court- house square in Princeton. "We prayed about it, and God was not giving us an an- swer, so it was one of those things where if that was His will, the business would have to eventually end," Kali said. "I started mentally preparing my heart for that." Instead, she said an oppor- tunity presented itself to them — Shane Matthews walked into their Owensville coffee shop and pitched the idea of opening in the former White Rabbit Cafe. They explained their call- ing, and said they wanted to keep the business going as long as it wasn't a distraction to their missionary work. "I prayed about it. 'Bring me a team,'" said Kali. Within two weeks, they gathered four people inter- ested in running different as- pects of the business; those people will train the team be- tween now and June, when the Lance family leaves to train for their work in Cape- town. The roasting aspect will fill the downtown with the cof- fee smell, and the Lances will serve specialty coffee drinks, tea, drip coffee, breakfast, lunch and baked goods, with a focus on the global nature of coffee and tea. The work in Capetown will dovetail into their coffee work; they'll be launching a coffee shop inside the new Assembly of God church building as a community outreach project, while Jeremy Lance also acts as the youth minister. "The coffee shop will be the in-between, a stepping stone. It brings people to the build- ing to build relationships that will grow the church," Jere- my said. The Lances will be rais- ing funds for their South A f- rica mission, and they'll take their son, Clay, 11, and daugh- ter, Crystal, 16. The Lances served in Gua- temala when Crystal was 11, so it's not the family's first long-time period out of the country. "For myself, it's always been being part of the community wherever you're planted at," Kali said, discussing the way the coffee fundraisers helped local sports teams and worthy causes. "We wanted Portside to sur- vive in our absence," Jeremy said. Coffee is a mission for Lance family By Janice Barniak SG Star-Times Editor editor@sgstartimes.com Sinister Cellar returned to scare almost 1,000 visitors to the walk-through haunt in Fort Branch Community Park. Now in its third year, the annual event was themed as "Butcher of the Branch," with a back story to match. According to the story au- diences learned in the haunt- ed house, the Butcher of the Branch is a former Emge em- ployee who can no longer kill at his employers' place of busi- ness and has moved the devi- ous deeds to his own proper- ty—or in this case, the Fort Branch park. The attraction took audienc- es through the shelter houses, tents, cattle trailers, a faux graveyard and more. The organizers, Camer- on Brewer, Matt Dunkel and Zach Meyer, begin building the haunted house each Jan- uary. The attraction staffed ap- proximately 30 actors per night to host the house. As for the location, when the Fort Branch Gym's sprinklers are added, the attraction will return in that location. "It went absolutely amaz- ing. A lot of people had a lot of good things to say about it," said co-organizer Matt Dun- kel Monday. "I feel like we are getting better at build- ing and designing/setting up props, as well as setting up spots for scares. We are al- so getting more actors volun- teering, that allow us to have more scares. We would like to thank the town for letting us turn the park into a spooky haunt and thank all the ma- ny volunteers that helped set up and tear down, people that acted, everyone that took mon- ey and parked cars, and any- one that donated money. We do have a plan for next year. It will be at the park again and it will send terror through the spines of haunt-goers. We will release the theme and name early next year." Almost 1,000 people visit walk-through haunt The walk-through haunt featured approximately 30 actors each night, which has allowed the attraction to grow, say organizers. Many animal-like humans made appearances throughout the haunt. The Butcher of the Branch attraction by Sinister Cellar creates new local lore to support their spook houses each year. The haunt featured several different riffs on butch- ering; in this scene, the pig butchers the human.
