(Con'lnuad from Pag* AM)

to attend the slate dairy princess
pageant in Harrisburg, the last offi
cial proceeding with his daughter
reigning as stale princess.
He took a four-day stretch of
vacation then. On Monday he took
one more day of vacation and got
his first visit to the slate Capital
and his first visit with the
governor.
And he got to see his daughter
being honored by the state House
of Representatives.
Both patents said they are very
proud of their daughter, who is
currently working with Sonny’s
Photography in Erie, a business
that takes student photographs.
Rhonda said she is equally as
proud of her family, which
includes older sister Renee, who
served as a county dairy maid in
1990.

According to Kieklak, her
parents’ dedication to the dairy
industry and the hard, but reward
ing work she witnessed her parents
perform served to motivate her to
seek the special day honoring dairy
farmers.
“I got the idea from what my
speech was last November,” she
said. She said that Dorothy Naugle
from Allied Milk Producers,
helped give her advice. “She
wasn’t there Monday, but she
deserves recognition for her efforts
working with me.”
KiekJak said she sought political
recognition because of the impact.
“I just wanted (dairy farmers to) be
recognized. I knew that if politics
would be involved, it would be
public.”
She said she was aware of
Scrimenti and at her high school
graduation party, she talked to him
about the day of appreciation. She
said originally she intended to hon

or all farmers, but it was changed
to specify dairy farmers, which
was fine by her, su long as the other
farmers don’t feel they aren’t
appreciated by her, because they
are.
The resolution passed the House
by a 201-0 vote.
On Monday, while waiting
along the walls of the House cham
ber for the legislators to settle into
their places and come to order, she
said she was somewhat shocked at
the apparent Alice-In-Wonderland
chaos that seemed to dominate.
“I was real suprised that they
ever get anything done, because it
was real chaotic,” she said, “but
when (Rep. Scrimenti) was done
talking, everybody clapped, so
they must have been listening.”
Kicklak said the day was very
exciting for her.
“It was overwhelming,” she
said. “There were a lot of people

“It's exciting,” her mother said.
“We’re very proud of her. We’re
blessed. She’s a great person. It’s
been a great year.”
Richard said the experience for
him was “great” and he also was
very proud of her accomplish
ments, but not surprised.
“Usually when she starts some
thing, she goes until its finished,”
he said. “If she didn’t get it passed
this year, she’d get it passed next
year, she’s very determined.”
The Kicklak farm goes by the
name of “Four-R Farm,” a refer
ence to the family Of four and the
fact that all their names begin with
“R.”
But it also refers to the dedica
tion and ethic of working and sac-

rificing for a goal, in this case the
farm.
Richard is the third generation
on the farm. His grandfather
started it and Richard took it over
from his father.
They own 100 acres, rent 200,
and milk SO cows and have about
20 heifers, both registered and
grade Holsteins.
Robin said Monday was icing
on the cake.
“I would put the whole year as
dairy princess as one of the best
times the family had,” she said,.
“(Monday) was like the crowning
achievement.”
Rhonda, who is looking to
pursue a college education, said
that her advice for others is not to
give up when things get lough and
to put* a complete effort into
convictions.
“If you have a dream, or you feel
that your goal can be reached, put
in a 110-percent effort and you can
accomplish it,” she said, adding
that Monday was “my year’s work
and it kind of marked that my year
was over.”
But it is just the
beginning of Oct. 7 as
state Dairy Farmer
Appreciation Day.
