THE TIMES, NOVEMBER 21, 2013, PAGE 4 -- Like us at Facebook.com/theponchatoulatimes Times interview with Giovanna Clausen, owner of Clausen Racing Times Report The late Floyd Clausen regarded racing as a fun hobby when he started his family racecar-related company in the 1980's. He realized Independence would make a good home base. Thirty five miles to the north they had races in Pike County, to the west, Ba- ton Rouge has a dirt track and a drag strip, to the east in St. Tam- many Parish's Lacombe there were regular races. Mr. Clausen worked offshore. We are family-owned, said Mrs. Clausen, commenting that her granddaughter Samantha is a junior at St. Thomas Aquinas and is learning the business. "My house is behind the store, Floyd has his on the other side of the store. Two of my sisters live in the neighborhood," she added. One non-family member, John Hurst, has been workihg at Clausen Racing for 28 years. "The day he got out of high school he came looking for a job. John is an ordained preacher in New Orleans where he builds heavy-duty playground equip- ment. "For a while we had our gro- cery store on one side of the building and our race stuff on "Clausen Racing pulls from all the Southern states. Cus- tomers have known us for years. They know they will get the right part in a timely fash- ion. We do phone orders and In- ternet sales, but our main sales site is our Independence store," Mrs. Clausen told The Indepen- dence Times in an interview. The former Giovanna Arnone says she and her husband got started in business buying and selling salvage groceries. "We had an old motor home that could pull the race car that my husband raced. I would sell parts out of that motor home. Back in Independence, we sold out of our garage. That was be- fore the era of Walmart," she laughed. "I was always in charge of retail. I grew up in business.

I donated what was left of the grocery to St. Vincent DeP- aul. We added to the north side of the building, then expanded the western side." Her community work in- cludes being on the Citizens' Council for Lallie Kemp Hos- pital. Mrs. Clausen praises the hospital administration of Cheryl Hookfin and former di- rector Chad Thompson. She serves on the Mater Do- lorosa Bereavement Committee whose members prepare free meals for the families of the deceased, served in the nearby Knights of Columbus Hall. Giovanna Clausen is also active with the Italian Heri- tage Museum, housed in the old Mater Dolorosa Church. "It had been gathering mice, dust, and bats, but we managed to re- claim it and clean it. "The church had three altars which gave us a great challenge in terms of renovating. People are still donating items to the museum we started there," she said with obvious pride in her church community. Benjamin's Journal Forcing Bulbs By SANDRA BENJAMIN Tangipahoa Extension Agent Forcing means bringing a plant into flower earlier or at a time of the year that may not be its normal flowering time. Many spring flowering bulbs can be forced including hyacinths, crocus, daffodils (especially the miniatures), tulips, brodi- aea, Dutch iris, Asiatic lilies, muscari, ornithogalum, scilla, paperwhite narcissus, oxalis, and amaryllis. The hyacinths, paperwhites, and amaryllis are foolproof, and are most recom- mended for the novice. All of the above bulb, ex- cept paperwhites and anaryb lis, should be refrigerated from November until early January. At that time, place them in con- tainers partially filled with a well-drained potting soil so that there are enough to fill the pot without touching each other or the pot sides. Finish filling the pot with soil so that the bulbs are just below the soil surface (generally, pointy end up). Water well and place the pots in a cool (about 50 degrees), dark location until about an inch or two of growth appears. At that time move the pots to a sunny, cool location. Outside locations usually work best. Too much warmth or not enough light will produce tall, spindly plants with small flowers or none at all. Hyacinths may be forced in soil, or buried half deep in a dish of pebbles filled with enough water to touch the base of the bulbs or even in just water using special hya- cinth vases. They are very fra- grant in bloom. When the flower buds begin to show color, you may move the pot to a suitable location in your home for display, however, the cooler you keep the plants, the longer the flowers last (usually about 10 days). Make sure they receive an even supply of mois- ture during growing and bloom- ing. Paperwhites and amaryl- lis do not need cold treatment, and so can be forced as soon as bulbs are obtained. Otherwise, grow paperwhites as you would hyacinths - sunny, cool in soil or pebbles. Amaryllis must be pot- ted in soil and should be grown at average room temperature in a sunny location. Flowering for most of these bulbs occurs four to six weeks after forcing begins. Generally, most bulbs should be discarded after forcing. Amaryllis should not be dis- carded. After flowering, cut off the flower stalk and continue to grow the plant as a pot plant or plant outside in March. In both situations, it should bloom in spring each year. 'Toys from the heart' brings joy to area children SLU Report Many Southeastern Louisi- ana University student organi- zations have found that noth- ing warms the heart more than giving the gift of joy to a young child. For the eighth consecutive year, Southeastern's Kappa Alpha Psi, Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Zeta Phi Beta soror- ity, Gamma Beta Phi honor and service society, and the Student United Way will do just that by giving "Toys from the Heart" to underprivileged children in the local community. Teaming with Recreational Sports and Wellness, the Office of Multicultural and Interna- tional Student Affairs (MISA), and the Student Athletic Advi- sory Committee, the organiza- tions expect to collect enough toys for 400 children this holi- day season. Summers said the students are asking the to make a dona- tion of a toy or a monetary do- nation toward the purchase of a new toy. New, unwrapped toys may be delivered to donation boxes located in the Student Union Mall from 10 a.m. to i p.m. on Nov 18-21, Nov. 26-29, and Dec. 2-4. Donation boxes will also be located at the MISA office in Mims Hall, room 213, and inside the Pennington Student Activity Center. For more information about "Toys from the Heart," contact the MISA office at (985) 549- 3850.
