ANSONIA - The Ansonia Rotary Club selected Kaitlyn Caple, a recent graduate of Ansonia High School, as its 2019 annual Scholarship Award winner.  

Kaitlyn was presented with a $1,000 check by Club member and Education Committee Chairwoman Cheryl Biros. 
Biros is an agent with Ned Miller Insurance/Starkweather Shepley. She said Kaitlyn was selected because of her academic and social achievements. 
A member of the Valley United Way’s Youth Leadership Council, Kaitlyn has volunteered for numerous projects including the local Task Force on Hunger, giving time to many nonprofit efforts over the years. 
A native of Ansonia, she will attend Catholic University in the fall. She will be one of only two women who has selected an engineering major.  
Her affinity for mathematics attracted her to the combination of manufacturing and computer technology, which she observed in practice while shadowing a family member in California. 
She hopes to perhaps hold a similar role in the future, managing technical projects in the corporate world. 

The Ansonia Rotary Club meets Tuesday at lunchtime at Crave Restaurant on Main Street in Ansonia. Visitors are welcomed.

Yogurt company to hold ribbon cutting in Ansonia Wednesday

ANSONIA - After a year of learning curves and the door knocking required for any new start up business, Ansonia’s own Stani Dairy Yogurt Co. is ready for its official ribbon cutting ceremony.

The open to the public event is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the company's 5 Howard Ave. corporate manufacturing headquarters. Those attending will be treated to yogurt samples and can even view the yogurt making process.

Co-owner/founder Kali Emmanouil said their Greek style yogurt line is being distributed to select specialty markets and small through mid-size multi-location supermarkets including Adams (Shelton), Highland Park (Glastonbury area) and others. 
In addition, supplying large volume food service operations has become a niche.

Stani recently hired additional staffing and is planning to hire more. While experience is not necessary, a background in food regulation and manufacturing compliance is a plus.

The company’s current flavors include plain, blueberry, honey blend, strawberry, and peach. Additional flavors are in development.

Yogurt samples distributed throughout City Hall last week produced a solid “thumbs up” from anyone who could wrestle a cup away from Mayor David S. Cassetti.
