Art Spotlight: Sullivan Ratcliff ’16

By Brad Horton ’15

Sullivan Ratcliff ’16 has been acting since preschool, and he enjoyed every minute of it. He began acting through community plays with his sister, and continued acting throughout grade school. At St. Ignatius Sullivan participated Dracula, Murders of 1940, Lucky Stiff, and recently Of Mice and Men.

Sullivan was inspired by his grandfather who was a fighter in Cleveland in the 1930’s to continue his acting career. Sullivan has not won any official awards in theater, but his acting is certainly worth commandment.

His role of George in Of Mice and Men was actually his first lead role in a St. Ignatius High School production. He was a near perfect likeness of George. His lines were delivered clearly, and the facial and body expressions were on par with the corresponding scene.

It is actually no surprise that Sullivan nailed the role, once you find out how much work he put into the production. “I had to really manage my time. So I had to cut out some events or things I like to do. I had to run lines, which is going over every line until I had it memorized, and then moving onto the next one. I tried to recite an entire an entire page without messing up a single line.” Sullivan stated.

Sullivan plans on participating in the upcoming St. Joseph production Arsenic and Old Lace. “This (Arsenic and Old Lace) is a time to spend with friends and focus more on precise acting” Sullivan said about the play. He is also directing a one act play the upcoming Spring One Act Play Festival. This is his first experience with directing a production, but he certainly has a lot of enthusiasm. The play is called Short Leave and features St. Ignatius High School students Peter Jones ’15, Andrew Hocevar’16, Casey Sobecks ’15, and Brendan Mitchell’17. The play is about the result of three drunken friends from the Navy setting up one of their Navy friends with a prostitute.

Sullivan plans to continue acting into the distant future, but he is not certain if he would like to continue with theater or try acting in films. To students interested in theater, Sullivan said “Go for it. It’s definitely going to be a lot of work, but the friends that you make will be totally worth it in addition to the experience of the play. It will look good on a college resume as well. You can also get to know other people in the community including teachers.”

Tech Talk: Dying Light (PC)

by Sam Brown ’15

Rating: 18+

Disclaimer: This is not a full review, but more of a first impression. Take the information as you will, but I haven’t finished the game just yet.

Developed by Techland and released on January 27th, 2015 for Windows, Linux, Xbox One, and PS4, Dying Light is the latest survival horror video game added to the genre that was started with titles like DayZ (ARMA II), Dead Island, and others. Dying Light begins as what seems like a normal “zombie beat ‘em up”, but it turns out to be not only full of fast paced action and adventure. The game is also incredibly frightening and terrifying. While I only have around three hours completed since the game’s launch, I can see why so many people are raving about this game.

Warning: minor spoilers ahead!

The game begins in what one can only assume is a plane, flying high above the clouds while your futuristic HUD relays your latest mission through your earpiece. The player is to locate and kill a prominent- what is assumed gang- leader in a city, without being caught. As the player jumps out of the plane, your character, whom you have been introduced to as Kyle Crane, pulls open his parachute and begins a slow descent towards the city below. The player looks around and sees the destruction around the city as smoke and debris float in the air. The player lands, almost breaking Crane’s legs. Crane is almost immediately greeted by four gang thugs wrenches and pipes in hand. One thug smacks Crane on the head, and just before being struck once more, a zombie tackles another thug. In a hurry, Crane is swept up by two people, a man and a woman, who try to help him. Upon getting away, the man gets caught by zombies, and is eaten. The woman radios for help, and Crane blacks out. Crane wakes up in a small, dirty room, and the story begins.

As mentioned before, Dying Light is a single-player survival story game set in an open world. It’s not exactly a new invention on the genre, but it does have its moments. Even though survival horror seems like all we get lately in terms of games, Dying Light pushes the genre to the limit. What makes this game unlike the others is adding the ability to use your parkour abilities around the massive map (when I say massive, I mean huge!). Using the rooftops and ledges to your advantage, you can effectively stay out of combat completely by running and jumping all over the place. At night, however, things change as the setting becomes unsettling. The atmosphere created in this game is pretty mind blowing.

On the graphics side, the game is gorgeous. The textures themselves are incredibly detailed ,and the amount of work put into the scenery and the actual world is insane. The particle dust and debris effects combined with the bloom effects really sets the tone for the level. As this is a zombie game, it would not be considered complete without ragdoll physics and a justifiable combat engine. Bashing a zombies’ head in is extremely satisfying, and the kicking mechanic is as well; pressing the “E” key to kick a zombie off a rooftop after hitting him a couple times with your wrench is super fun.

Although the game is great, it’s not without its faults. The questing, especially in the beginning, seems boring and repetitive. The play can’t even get to go outside until an hour into the game, and that bugs me. Speaking of bugs, I haven’t had very many. The occasional crash is expected, as I have only had one. The only other bug I can think of is when one time a zombie was walking towards me and he somehow impaled himself with the side of a building. Not necessarily game-breaking, but it’s something. My only serious concern is with the framerate: it’s all over the place.

My framerate (on high settings) stays at around 60 in certain areas, but suddenly drops to 45-30 in others. Not sure if this is just a driver issue (as it is a new game, and GPU driver patches are common with newer games) or a legitimate issue with the game, but it certainly is annoying.

But in all honesty, I really enjoy the game. Although we’re kind of beating a dead horse with all these survival horror games, I think this one just might change things up enough where it’s actually pretty good. I can’t wait to play more! I definitely recommend this game, but please do be aware of the frame rate issues, especially if you’re running on a lower-tier rig or a console.

If you have any gaming related questions or article ideas, feel free to email me at sbrown15@student.ignatius.edu, I’m always looking for new games to play!

THE HYBRID: Rowing down the Cuyahoga or taking a picture of it, Tyler Delgado ’15 makes a lasting impression

by Brad Horton ’15

Tyler Delgado ’15 may be a leading member of the St. Ignatius High School Crew Team, but he also has an extraordinary talent for design and photography.  Tyler began his artistic career at St. Ignatius with the standard Drawing Class, and he quickly showed promise.  “I obviously got close with Mr. Stewart, and he referred me to Miss Burrows, who is the head of the fine arts department” Tyler said.  He then became involved in A.I.R. (Artists In Residence), which meets once week to work on art projects after school.  Being involved in A.I.R. became a stepping stone into A.P. Studio Art “which is an A.P. course where each semester you have to submit a twelve piece portfolio. Then by the end of your senior year you’ll have a twenty-four piece portfolio to submit to the College Board.  The portfolio kind of takes the place of your standard A.P. exam for any class you usually have.”

Tyler’s artistic talent has been recognized through the reception of a Silver Key from the Scholastic Art and Writing Contest.  Tyler is currently working on the concentration aspect of his artistic portfolio, which takes simple design elements featured in the previous semester’s breathe portfolio and improves upon them.  “So right now I’m combining a little bit of digital media and photography.  I’ll take a regular photograph, be it landscape or portrait or something like that, and then add in a digital design element that’s sort of surprising.  It adds more of a message to the photograph.  One I just did was picture up by the old Coast Guard Station, just the frozen lakefront and everything.  Then I replaced the sky with some abstract galaxy I made in Photoshop, stuff like that.”

According to Tyler, the only bad thing about being an artist is dealing with deadlines.  He really enjoys the freedom art offers to express a personal element and help others understand that personal element.  “You just put [an idea] on paper or put it in a photograph. Its meaning is kind of specific to you, and it’s your job to make sure other people understand that meaning.  You can put yourself, your persona, and your motto to appease and represent you.”

Tyler began participating on the Crew team freshmen year, and has since risen to the positions of senior leader and equipment manager.  He has won multiple awards for the races he has participated in.

Tyler said the worst thing about Crew is the amount of time it takes up and early morning practices. However, he has the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.  “I’ve made out a lot of good connections with people and the relationships.  I’ve just met a lot of good people over the course of being on the team and everything.  And it’s an experience I wouldn’t really trade for anything.  I learned a lot about myself and other people through it.”

Time management is the most difficult thing about being a hybrid according to Tyler.  He wakes up at four-thirty in the morning in the offseason for workouts, and, when the season picks up, Tyler has less time for homework, and especially art, due to weekend regattas.  He believes that the best thing about being a hybrid is a being able to combine one’s passions.  “But I think the best thing about [being a hybrid] is at times it’s easy to combine the love of both art and crew into the same thing.  I’m into photography a lot, so it’s easy for me to take decent photographs.  I try to capture what I love about the sport in a drawing, a painting, or something like that.”

To fellow students who consider becoming a hybrid, Tyler says “Just don’t be afraid to push yourself.  You’re going to obviously run into schedule conflicts.  You’re going to be busy, but there’s no reason why you can’t sit down for a few hours, listen to some music, and draw, paint, or something.  It’s not like you have to take a class to be an artist.  The title doesn’t really come with taking a class.  So it’s just about sitting down, picking up a brush or pencil, or going out and taking a camera.  It’s just capturing whatever you think is beautiful: finding something you like and expressing yourself through it.”

Snowmen save stranded residents

by Gabe Mielke ’16

A potential snowday. Students complaining about having school. Meanwhile a hardened corps of service oriented students takes to the streets wielding snow shovels and industrial strength rock salt. The legendary Snowmen For Others.

No. Despite the name, the Snowmen For Others do not build snowmen complete with corncob pipes, button noses, and eyes made out of coal for the Ohio City neighborhood. Believe it or not, they do something even better.

Answering the call of the red flag hanging outside of Loyola Hall, the Snowmen venture out into Ohio City to shovel the driveways and sidewalks of those neighbors who cannot do it themselves. This Arrupe service initiative offers a unique opportunity for doing the work of Christ in an immensely enjoyable way.

Thus, I spent a measly hour with these larger than life men for others, participating in their holy endeavor. We started off on the second floor of the Arrupe House dividing ourselves into groups to embark on separate routes around the neighborhood. My group consisted entirely of juniors: Brendan Sims, Yusuf AbdoulKarim, Ani Ting Ting, and of course, myself. After a short briefing we set out with our shovels upon our shoulders and our hearts full of passion to serve. On our way to the first stop we halted to help push a small hybrid car out of the snow, the long-haired, bearded driver thanked us by saying, “Thanks guys, that was super far out of you.”

We then proceeded to clear snow from various driveways, front porches, and sidewalks for the benefit of those Ohio City neighbors who, for one reason or another, cannot do it themselves. Mind you that while this may sound like challenging work (“Shoveling snow is hard!” “It’s cold outside.” *insert more juvenile whining here*), time goes by incredibly quickly because the driveways and sidewalks of Ohio City are significantly smaller than the suburban equivalents. Most importantly you are working with a team of other guys and having way more fun than any sane person should shoveling snow.

Therefore I implore you, I beg you, I cordially invite you; answer the noble clarion call of the red flag and spend one measly hour after school shoveling snow For the Greater Glory of God. I did, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We want some Wiegy: Jack ’15 and Matt ’17 claim to be best brother duo

by Christopher Rini ’15

When Saint Ignatius students talk sports, it’s commonplace for standout athletes to come up in the conversation and then hear, “Oh, his brother was so good when he was here,” or “Yeah, he was good but his little brother is going to be way better.” Sometimes, though, there are pairs of brothers here at school competing together in the same sport at the same high level.

Jack and Matt Wiegandt are both vital parts of Coach O’Rourke’s varsity hockey team, Jack being a four-year letterman and two-year captain and Matt a standout sophomore who is playing his second year on varsity. Both are integral parts of a strong squad that’s coming off of a state champion performance last year.

We cannot forget the other sets of brothers that compete together, like the Avdeys, the Whitneys, and the Adlers. When asked what makes them the best duo out of all of these, Matt and Jack both agree that “it has to be the hair.” No doubt that it’s hard to compete with the Wiegandts’ signature red hair. The only other duo of brothers in Saint Ignatius sports that can rival the strength of these two is the infamous Benji-Connor player-announcer Rechin combo, especially when Connor has his mustache out.

As for what it’s like to be a part of the team with their brother, Matt and Jack agree that it’s different from any other teammate to be able to take their relationship at the rink home with them, but also they just function as normal teammates and friends in the same way they would anyone else on the team.

As a team captain, Jack has the duty to act as a mentor–a big brother, even–to all his teammates, but Jack also has a role as an actual big brother to Matt. Matt said that “Jack has definitely taught me a lot about how to conduct myself during the games and off the ice and what it’s to like to be on the team. But I taught him how to score.” As for how his role has been affecting his year, Jack explained that, “I’ve been a leader this year more than any other year, and things have been going my way for scoring this year, so I’ve been a bit more of a part of that this year than last year. So I’ve just been trying to keep things going calm and fun.”

These two standout players share a special bond as biological brothers, but they are more crucially together as two parts of the entire tight-knit band of brothers that is the hockey team.

Chris Herren’s message was powerful, but does it have “staying power”? Experience says no

by Zach Fechter ’15

I couldn’t help but notice the pensive, respectful demeanor of our student body during the unfolding of Chris Herren’s powerful journey. He told his tale with conviction, able to capture our often restless attention-spans. However, I couldn’t help but come to see the likely reality of Mr. Herren’s impact on Saint Ignatius: fleeting. I say ‘likely’ in hopes to be proven wrong one day, but his “Get out of the basement” appeal will last as long as your hand on a hot stove.

And I know this stance is not very pleasing. It asserts that some of our student body will fail to heed the message and continue on with their choices. But I have good grounds on which to make this claim; how long does the typical “Kai-high”, or strong moral fervor following the Kairos retreat, last? And further, how many people truly go on to “live the fourth”?

I don’t ask these questions cynically, I ask them as a point of reference. In the same way that living the fourth typically only goes as far as a tweet, kids at this school will likely only be leaving the basement to get a refill. My claim is not germane to all students, but it does shed light on the difficulty of entertaining such an unpopular piece of advice, however genuine it may be.

Now, we’re a school of bright kids, so it’s not like Chris Herren’s speech fell on deaf ears (except I guess for that one kid he told to stop talking). We all fully understood what the crux of his tale was, but what he spoke of is hard for many of us to implement into our own lives. And it is just the same for Kairos; in the moment, the message sounds pleasant, but after it turns sour. Such a conversion occurs upon the realization that adapting to that message means running perpendicular to the actions of friends, potentially having to find new plans or people to spend time with.

Being comfortable with finding new friends is a virtue we could all use. As a result, we throw the message to the nether-regions of our mind in an effort to continue with the path of least resistance. And just like that, the experience of Kairos or Chris Herren is ignored, giving someone plans on Friday night or disregard for doing the right thing; but one cannot forget that some experiences can only be buried alive.

Rade serving more than just food this year, serving ‘healthy’ purpose

By Brad Horton ’15

“There’s a story behind everything we do.”

I never thought about the world behind the scenes of the cafeteria. I simply walked in, bought my food, and walked out. However, there is an entire behind the scenes world to our cafeteria, and the curtain of this world was lifted through my interview with Mr. Pietravoia ,Director of Campus Dining.
The cafeteria is dedicated to get healthy food from local vendors. The Chiptole Bar, Salad Bar, and the hamburger meat is all from local vendors, and these products are hormone and antibiotic free. That often results in higher prices, especially for the Chipotle Bar. “We’re buying the better chickens. We’re making a lot of that stuff from stratch. It takes four of us (cafeteria workers) to run that (Chipotle Bar). The expense is there that we need to cover.” Mr. Pietravoia said.

The meat the cafeteria purchases is always local from Gerber Meats or Great Lakes Smoked meats, and the fruits and vegetables are purchased locally when they are in season. The cafeteria has plans to discuss business with Ohio City Farms in the spring. This push for local vendors supports local sustainability and offers a fresher product.

Our school cafeteria is largely an independent agency from the school, the diocese, and the federal government. This means that the salaries, utilities, and food items for the cafeteria are all paid for through student purchase. If the cafeteria were to use the school’s budget, tuition would rise more quickly. Being independent from federal and diocesan lunch programs allows our cafeteria a great amount of freedom when it relates to the food served and portions. For example, a federal of diocesan program would cut the size of a pizza slice to about 1/3 of its current size, and that smaller slice of pizza would count as a lunch itself. Nearly all of the burgers in the cafeteria would be banned or reduced to size of a slider. “It just didn’t seem feasible to stay on that program (the federal lunch program).”

People Water has recently been added to the cafeteria as a healthy and charitable beverage. People Water gives the equivalent of every bottle purchased in clean water to nations that need clean water. However, People Water doesn’t simply give this water in the form of a bottle; this organization actually builds wells in these developing nations. They give clean water to people of village that would otherwise hike for miles to find clean water. Our cafeteria supports People Water because the organization expands the cafeteria’s cause of local sustainability to global level. St. Ignatius is such an avid supporter of People Water that since November 15, 2014, the school sponsored a well in Nicaragua. Dog tags, like the one on the well, may soon be handed out to the St. Ignatius community in hour of our accomplishment.

There are plans in the future to possibly bring an Asian station to the cafeteria. This would be similar to an Asian food area found in a mall. “Sort of like you would see in the mall with the noodles, rice, and vegetables, choose either the beef or chicken.” The Cafeteria is also looking to get kiosk to sell food items from. This stand could be in the atrium or out on the mall when the weather is nice. There are still details to work out it terms of what food to sell, the equipment needed to sell that food, and a mobile device for the lunch program accounts. “We’re out there. We’re looking, trying to see what we can provide that has a meaning behind it, not just a product to sell…We want to be more involved with the student body. We want to do things that are good, not just slop food out there.”

A’ rockin and a’ rollin all night long: Local Cleveland students compete in high school rock off

by Michael Broerman ’15

It is daunting to enter into an establishment built by greatness and hold your own, but that is the challenge faced at the CSU Rock Off at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hundreds of kids, some as young as thirteen, enter into this holy house of music in an effort to take their shot at stardom. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is hallowed ground to millions of fans and home to legends of music history. Larger-than-life pictures of Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and more legendary musicians line the hallway that leads to the conference room where these amateur bands prepared.

I had the good fortune of witnessing the Rock Off which featured some more than memorable acts. As I entered the second round at the Hall of Fame I was greeted by The Loose Strings’ acoustic cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” that was about half as fast as the original. This first band marked the beginning of a couple of recurring themes of that night. First, the overwhelming majority of bands that performed featured a female lead vocalist. This revelation of the gender equality in up-and-coming rock and roll was a shock me, as I had thought of rock and roll as more of a boys club. But there they were, girls of all ages from all over the state singing their hearts out up on the stage. The other theme was the immense amount of original music these bands played. Most of the bands I have come to love and admire started out as cover bands, and to see all these high school kids writing their own material was inspiring to me, not only as a fellow musician but also as a fellow fan of rock and roll. These bands will be my generation’s mark on music history.

The first group of the night that really caught my attention was Trusting Obscurity from Madison, Ohio. With their hard driving guitar riffs and pounding drums, one does not know where to begin when describing Trusting Obscurity. The band blends the loud and quick tempo akin to the Ramones with the blues-rock fusion of Led Zeppelin, if either bands had a female singer. I would be remised if I was to forget the incredible lead vocalist. Her infinite range, dominating stage presence, and powerful delivery of the lyrics was the exclamation point that brought Trusting Obscurity together. Trusting Obscurity’s musical mission, in their own words, “… we are not a band that is trying to rebel against society or parents or whatever. We aren’t just making music to get a rise out of people. We make music so that music (especially rock n’ roll) never dies.”

The next show stopper from the Rock Off was Drift. Drift was one of two bands from the Rock Off that features Ignatius’ very own Holden Szalek on drums. In essence Drift is loud, raw talent. Even with the rough-around-the-edges sound of a high school band, any lover of rock music can see, or rather hear, right through it and acknowledge the uninhibited potential that is Drift. The only way to put it into words is: Drift is an orgy of music devotion, ambition, and promise. Anybody who was lucky enough to see them live is definitely strumming on a guitar or beating some drums right this very second.

Last but certainly not least of the Rock Off profile is M4. A smattering of 13 year-olds from Erie Pennsylvania, M4 shatters the myth that age equals talent. M4’s lineup of 3 electric guitars plus a bassist gave them the heaviest instrumental section of the whole Rock Off. The sheer talent of their guitar section, and mainly their lead guitarist, 13 year-old Ben Semple, dawned on me during the band’s cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine”. As Semple began picking the iconic guitar intro it became crystal clear to everyone in the audience that he was lightyears beyond any other guitarist his age. As the song progressed onward through the verses I thought that this kid had just memorized the guitar tab through endless nights of rehearsing, that is until he hit the solo. The perfection and precision of every note of the solo cemented M4’s mark on the Rock Off, and in my memory. However, Semple was not the entire band. The lead singer, Audra Miller, was faced with a monumental task herself: match the power of such a strong guitar section with her singing while still maintaining an element of femininity. It is my humble opinion that nobody else in the Rock Off could have stepped up to the challenge the way Miller did. However the group was still a little mismatched, a hard rock group that looks like a boy band with Taylor Swift singing, but not one of them is even an upperclassmen. With all that time to refine their sound, it is only a matter of time till M4 is at Lollapalooza.

St. Mary’s Chapel’s impressive new organ is the life’s work of alum

by Owen Hearns ’17

The Blue and Gold tour of 2013 brought about an unusual request for Fr. Murphy and Don Isabella, Major Gifts Officer. The annual tour, which gives alumni across the country the opportunity to join Fr. Murphy and other members of the faculty and staff to share memories and updates on St. Ignatius High School, had arrived in Ann Arbor, Michigan when Pat Macoska ‘69 approached the two men and expressed that he wanted to create a pipe organ for St. Mary’s Chapel.

Macoska grew up in West Park, attending St. Vincent de Paul Elementary School. Paul Lammermeier ’57, founder of the Paul Lammermeier Foundation to create opportunities for Peruvian youth and Jesuit History and Latin teacher at St. Ignatius from 1964-1967, introduced him to the organ at the age of 15.

As a junior and senior, Macoska attended the St. Ignatius sponsored retreat to a Jesuit retreat house in Michigan where he met Fr. Serrick. Serrick further deepened Macoska’s love for the organ, and their friendship continues to this day as Fr. Serrick recently became the pastor at Macoska’s parish in Ann Arbor.
Organ
Macoska went on to attend the University of Detroit where he obtained his Master’s degree in architecture; however, he does not give complete credit to this education for his knack at building organs. “I bought my first pipe organ when I bought my first house,” he explained. “As I moved from one place to another, I disassembled and reassembled my organ, which helped me to learn the different pieces and parts. This, along with some reading, taught me the basics of building organs.” Macoska currently works out of his garage for his construction projects and is also a Church musician.

The organ Macoska built for St. Ignatius High School is one of the biggest projects he has undertaken and completed, starting the actual building of the organ in January 2014. He predicted that around a total of 2,500 hours were spent on the whole ordeal.

One of the aspects of the plan that proved most difficult was obtaining high-quality equipment for the organ for a reasonable price. Macoska bought parts from reliable websites and suppliers, but also collected and repurposed items from decommissioned organs, such as the one used at his own parish.

After a year of hard-work, the masterpiece was finished in January of 2015.

The instrument consists of two separate pipe fixtures with a controlling console. Most of the pipes are located in a wooden structure at the back of the chapel outlining the arch of the entrance. A headline over the pipes reads the Jesuit motto, Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam, “For the greater glory of God”. The other grouping of pipes is situated at the front of the chapel adjacent to the console. Macoska insisted that this arrangement be used so that a choir or soloist can better hear the notes of the organ. Finally, and most importantly, the console is played by keys and foot pedals to initiate a range of sounds.

Not all of the sounds are produced by the pipes, however. The organ creates a number of computerized noises that can’t be obtained by the tone of the pipes. Since organs are appraised by the amount of pipes they have, the piece created by Macoska is worth close to $500,000.

Don Isabella, St. Ignatius’ Major Gifts Officer, commented on Macoska’s achievement, “Mr. Macoska’s architectural design, master craftsmanship, organ playing experience, and ties to St. Ignatius High School is what has made this donation so special to the St. Ignatius community.” The work of Pat Macoska ‘69 will grace the ears of the faithful who enter St. Mary’s Chapel for years to come.

Is the chicken patty dead?

by Brad Horton ’15

The recent changes to availability of chicken patties is directly connected with the cafeteria’s goal to provide healthier meals for the students. There was a time about seven years ago when the cafeteria attempted to change the current chicken patty for a healthier option that included more chicken muscle as opposed to various parts of the chicken. This change was boycotted by the student body, but if the school were on a federal lunch program, the chicken patty would be banned due its lack of nutrition.

“We want to find a whole muscle chicken patty, one that is made from more of the breast like Chick-Fil-A.” said Mr. Pietravoia, Director of Campus Dining. Currently the dining program is in search of a replacement chicken patty that is cost effective and healthier than the current offering. “We are trying to find a healthier product and serve more natural, healthy, and organic foods to you guys (St. Ignatius community).”
