The eyes of the world are upon South Korea, and its response to this crisis will shape its future for generations to come.The arrest of President Yoon has also raised questions about the future of South Korea's democracy and the strength of its institutions.

Contact: Kalia Rubenbach (Weintraub) CFO Tel: +972 (3) 797-1111 Email: [email protected]For Wendy Tobergte, coffee is similar to bourbon: Both possess unique varieties of flavor profiles, in addition to having strong cult followings. Tobergte is firmly in the enthusiast camp, holding deep regard for the process of importing and roasting specialty coffee beans. She joined forces with her sister Mary Beimesch and niece Liz Elleman, who shared a similar passion for coffee. Beimesch developed an appreciation for it as it became an integral part of her workday as a pharmacist. Beimesch said Liz had always wanted to own and operate her coffee shop. Unfortunately, the timing was never quite right, as Beimesch felt the shop’s demanding business schedule would impact the amount of time they could spend with their family. After retiring from pharmaceuticals in 2023, Beimesch explored the possibility of purchasing a coffee roastery with Elleman and Tobertge. “I came across a coffee roasting business that was for sale in Lexington, and the three of us were looking at it,” she said. “We did not get that business, so we came back, continued our research, and decided we could start up one closer to home and for a lot less money.” Keep up with the latest NKY news with our daily newsletter window.zone_load_857163027 = function(z, d) { if (!d.count) document.getElementById('zone_load_857163027').style.display = 'none'; }; Sign up While they ultimately decided not to purchase the business, the process provided them with the impetus to pursue launching their own roastery. Today, that vision is a reality. “We’re a specialty coffee roaster, and if you want a great cup of coffee, great beans produce great coffee,” Tobergte said. “We have great beans from around the world.” Last Wednesday morning, the trio celebrated the grand opening of Archer Roasters & Co. – a specialty coffee roasting company that sources beans worldwide. The company’s headquarters is at 1720 Petersburg Road in Hebron, inside a renovated landscaping facility. Archer Roasters & Co. is named after Beimesch’s grandson Archer and Tobergte’s grandchildren.

Photo by Kenton Hornbeck | LINK nky At Archer’s, each of the three founders has a primary specialization: Beimesch works as the head of business, Elleman is the creative director and Tobergte is the master roaster. Tobertge said Archer’s specializes in roasting Arabica beans, a type of bean that accounts for around 60% of the global coffee production, according to the United States International Trade Commission. Arabica beans are commonly grown in the ‘Coffee Belt,’ including Brazil, Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala and Nicaragua. To acquire their beans, Archer’s uses Café Imports – an independent Minneapolis-based importer and developer of specialty green coffees worldwide. Archer also possesses some of the most cutting-edge technology in the coffee roasting industry by purchasing an authentic Mill City 3 Kilogram Drum Roaster, which the trio has fondly nicknamed Betty. The roaster can take the fresh, green coffee beans and cook them in different phases. “Betty, our roaster, then roasts the beans until they reach their perfection or their flavor profile,” Tobertge said. “On our bags are all of the professional cupping notes and those are some of the nuances that we try to hit in our coffees by roasting them for a certain time and a certain temperature.” Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore, who was present at the ceremony, lauded the trio for taking the risks to start the business. Like Tobergte’s bourbon comparison, Moore likened coffee to tobacco, another one of Kentucky’s specialty industries. “When you think of some of this specialty Kentucky stuff, you think of bourbon,” Moore said. “I grew up on a small tobacco farm, and that was a craft at the time of how to do that better than anybody else in the country – the tobacco industry. But now bourbon, and even more so now here in Boone County: coffee.” In addition to specialty coffee beans, Archer’s also sells teas and hot chocolates – all of which are available for purchase on their website.

Year-over-year Peterborough’s rental market continues to be tighter and more expensive, notes author Paul Armstrong in the 19th edition of the “Housing is Fundamental” report. The report provides an analysis of Peterborough’s worsening rental market and “underscores the ongoing challenges posed by housing affordability and accessibility,” stated a press release about the document. “Affordability” is defined as spending no more than 30 per cent of total before-tax income on housing. But with the average market rent in the Peterborough area now $1,325, that means a household has to make $53,000 for a rental unit to be “affordable.” The report states this means there’s little, if any, affordable housing for people who have low incomes. A significant portion of renter households are in “core housing need,” with some spending well in excess of 50 per cent of their household incomes on rent, the report found. “Meagre” additions to the Peterborough CMA rental stock in 2023 mean hundreds of units are still required, with the demand for rental units far exceeding supply. Meanwhile, Trent University and Fleming College place a substantial demand on the city’s rental market, the report notes. New immigrants and foreign students to the area require housing. Housing suitable to transition people out of homelessness is also needed. According to the report, the housing and homelessness crisis has been mainly caused by governments withdrawing from providing public housing, leaving it to the for-profit market to provide housing. “Governments will need to return to direct provision of social housing and render additional support for non-profit housing,” the report states. “We need to build more, much more. We need to make it more affordable. And greater density will likely result. All of this calls upon governments to assert a leading role.” The document also points out that the maximum benefit for people receiving Ontario Works is $733 per month, but the average rent in Peterborough in 2023 for the smallest unit — a bachelor — was $877 per month. A single bedroom unit went for $1,173 while a two-bedroom apartment was $1,411, and a three-bedroom unit cost, on average, $1,640. On a broader scale, the Canada-wide vacancy rate was 1.5 per cent as of October 2023, which was a new low, with Peterborough’s vacancy rate standing at one per cent. Recent renter households (43.2 per cent) were also more likely to live in unaffordable housing than existing renter households (30.5 per cent), with unaffordable housing meaning more than 30 per cent of pre-tax household income is spent on shelter costs. “When inadequate supply of rental units produces a one per cent vacancy rate in Peterborough, something has to change,” Amstrong notes. “When housing costs are now the primary driver of inflation and 20 per cent of Canadian rental stock is owned by large capital enterprises, something’s inequitable. When homelessness grows, but social housing builds don’t materialize, something’s unjust. The housing crisis deepens with little indication of relief.” On the other end of the scale, high ownership prices have prevented renter households from making the move to jp,eownership. And, finally, 2023 saw an unprecedented period of multiple converging crises, which included homelessness, housing precarity, food insecurity, income precarity, mental health challenges, and addictions. “Flawed government policy has resulted in profound crises in an otherwise prosperous country,” Armstrong states. “Clearly, the government’s chosen, market-driven model for housing provision and personal security has failed.” To read the report and learn more about the call to action, visit .
