The Cancer Center's Blood & Marrow Transplantation Program takes a house-call approach in rural Maine
The image, however, isn't so much about a pastoral past as it is about bringing health care to people in the context of their daily lives—bringing medicine to the place, that is, where medicine counts most: home.
It's been more than a century since doctors made house calls with a horse, but even in today's modern, ultra-high-tech health care environment, some doctors still reach out to patients and other doctors in remote regions of the country.
Blood and Marrow Transplants in Maine
Ken Meehan, MD, director of the Blood & Marrow Transplantation (BMT) Program at Norris Cotton Cancer Center, is one of them. Four times a year, he bundles into his car for a long day's drive from New Hampshire into Maine to visit with primary care physicians and oncologists there to talk about patients and the BMT program. It's one of the most important ways that Meehan uses to communicate the value and importance of the BMT program, which is the only program of its kind in northern New England, to doctors in rural areas who do not have local access to sophisticated transplantation clinics. He also is an active member of the Northern New England Clinical Oncology Society, a forum for oncologists to discuss cancer care and research in the unique northern New England environment and culture.
In return, patients with cancers of the blood in Maine and other rural New England locations—eastern upstate New York, northern Massachusetts, and Vermont—have access, through Meehan's well-developed relationships with rural hospitals, clinics, and doctors, to some of the highest quality treatment available in the U.S.—allogeneic as well as autologous transplants, for example—without having to travel farther than to Lebanon, NH.
Help and Healing at Home for Blood Cancers
"The referring doctors love to have a relationship with the Cancer Center," says Meehan, "because it broadens what they can offer their patients. When they refer a patient to us, they're not just sending that patient to an unknown specialist in a far-away city, they're sending that patient to us, here, where the doctors know us. It's familiar territory."
It's familiar for the patients, too. While Lebanon offers many amenities not available in Maine's hundreds of tiny, rural hamlets, it is still a quiet town located in a place of great natural, and quiet, beauty.
An Outreach Outpost for Marrow Transplant
One of Meehan's most important Maine stops is at the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care in Augusta, Maine. The Center is the most sophisticated cancer-care facility in the state—but it does not do marrow transplants. Instead, Meehan has established a close partnership with the Center, attending tumor boards and frequently seeing patients, to offer expertise and, when necessary, the procedures available in the BMT program at NCCC.
The Center was established with help from a significant grant from the late Harold Alfond, the founder of the Dexter Shoe Company in Dexter, Maine (he also created the concept of the outlet store), and it is part of MaineGeneral Health. The medical director of MaineGeneral's oncology services, Andrew Hertler, MD, is a graduate of Dartmouth College who still holds a soft spot for the Upper Valley, according to Meehan. "We had a connection right away," he says. "That helped pave the way."
Blood and Marrow Doctors, Nurses, and More
The network of relationships Meehan has established in Maine now supports a team of BMT nurses who regularly travel there to care for post-transplant BMT patients who live in Maine. While the black bags and horses may be things of the past, reaching out to patients and their doctors where it's most important—home—is not, not for the BMT program at Norris Cotton Cancer Center.

Staff Writer
The Voice-Tribune
It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, searching stores for the perfect gift or planning a festive family get-together. But, amidst chaotic schedules and shopping, we often forget those who may not have anyone to share the joy of Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa – many of them elderly and living in Louisville's nursing homes and assisted-living residences.
One organization, however, is ensuring senior citizens who are either alone or struggling financially experience the reason for the season through the Be a Santa to a Senior program.
Created by Home Instead Senior Care – an American-based multinational network of franchises specializing in non-medical in-home care for the elderly – the initiative has attracted more than 60,000 volunteers in the last six years and helped provide 1.2 million gifts to more than 700,000 seniors throughout North America. The program is hosted by a majority of the 700 Home Instead Senior Care franchises in the U.S. Locally, it's supported by Baptist Hospital East, Baptist Towers, Rivers Edge, Brownsboro Hills, Colonial House, Day Break at Sacred Heart, Fairington Apartments, Friendship Manor, Highland Rehab, Hillebrand House, KIPDA, MD2U, Portland Plaza, Regency, The Richwood, Springhurst, Walmart and Dr. Kim Pediatric Dentistry.
"We get names of needy seniors throughout the community," explained Becky Beanblossom, founder and president of the Home Instead Senior Care located off Taylorsville Road. "They have to be over the age of 65 and they have to either be on Medicaid or they have to be socially isolated. … This year we had … right at 1,000 seniors that will be serviced with the program out of our office."
Home Instead Senior Care collaborates with local businesses and retail stores to help facilitate the purchase and distribution of gifts by placing Christmas trees within their various locations. Each senior's gift request is written on a Be a Santa to a Senior tree ornament and eventually purchased by a generous shopper, who will bring the ornament and gift to a store employee for delivery.
The program typically begins the first week of November, with gift collection taking place through mid-December. Beanblossom's Home Instead Senior Care has hosted several gift-wrapping opportunities for individuals looking to volunteer their time to the cause.
"At the end of the program, with the tags we have left, we go back and look to the spreadsheets and say this person needed whatever, and then we go and purchase that gift," she said. "So, if there's people who still want to help with the program, they can certainly give us a call, and we can kind of give them last-minute things that don't come in for folks, and then they can go purchase those."
Some of the items requested by seniors include pajamas, toiletries, socks, blankets, sweat suits and sweaters. "People tend to ask for practical things," said Rita Brown, a volunteer who helped giftwrap on Dec. 12 at Home Instead Senior Care. "Sometimes we get requests for laundry detergents. I wrapped a bed pillow and … blankets and a bedspread. These people are not able to go out and shop for themselves, so it's really nice that other people pitch in."
Two people who have dedicated much of their time to the program are Bob and Helen Hollingsworth, who've helped every year but one with the local Be a Santa to a Senior. "We just enjoy the camaraderie and the social aspect of it … but we just feel like this is a way we can give back to the community," Bob said. "Sometimes people don't think of the older people, the older residents, who have difficulty getting out, even shopping. There was one lady who requested things for a child, and this gave her the opportunity of having these things for her grandchild or a niece or a nephew, and I thought that was kind of unique. Usually people want things for themselves, but she was thinking of one of the younger members of her extended family."
Though gifts are typically delivered by employees of the residences where seniors live, the Be a Santa to a Senior volunteers feel a sense of warmth and compassion, nonetheless, knowing they've helped put a smile on someone's face during the holidays. And, every once in awhile, Home Instead Senior Care will hear back from a recipient who's grateful for the public's generosity during a time that may otherwise be difficult for him or her.
"I had a guy who wrote a letter; it was after the program was all over," Beanblossom said. "We got the letter probably about four weeks after Christmas, and he said that he had participated in our Be a Santa to a Senior program for the last two years. He had been a recipient of a gift, and he said prior to the gift that he got from our program, he hadn't received one in 11 years."
The idea was practically unfathomable to Beanblossom, but it quickly made her realize the importance of the program. "That's why we do it!" she exclaimed. "I've had a lot of people that are so touched that the community remembers them at Christmas. When we explain how it works and who purchased the gift for them, they're like, 'For me?' (It's) like they just can't believe it; it's really beautiful. … I tell you, it makes you look at Christmas totally different."

I am having a big trouble with showing data in a gridview.
All the guides on the internet is using LINQ, but i can not use that, because i create new Lists in Sharepoint, that therefore would not be in the entity class file.
I would be really glad if somebody could show how to get data from a list and show it in a webpart wihout LINQ:
I have this now:
SPSite _sc = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb _w = _sc.OpenWeb();
SPList l = _w.Lists["Navne"];
SPListItemCollection lic = l.Items;
foreach (SPListItem item in lic)
I have searched to find the solution, but no answers.

Sencha CMD - Theme Creation/Editing
Can someone post a clear and correct howto guide for CMD and theme creation/editing?
Most documentation is outdated or simply just doesn't work.
17 Mar 2013 3:31 AM #2
Joining to the question.
After updating app from 4.1.1 ( the latest public release ), nothing works and i'm still trying to figure out what to do , without any success.
Docs are messed and incorrect ( especially on the theming part ), Release notes unclear, Many structure changes and no official update guide. Very frustrating

Cmd 3.1 does not support Ext JS 4.1.1, only 4.2.0 (which is the latest public release).
For docs for 3.1, yes there aren't any that are up to date but we are working on getting docs for them as quite a bit has changed or have been added.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

"After updating app" - i meant after upgrading to 4.2 from 4.1. the structure of the themes had changed and it's unclear how to organize or re-organize it now.
for example, i was importing default theme and then modifying it in app.scss :
@import 'compass'; $font-family: sans-serif; @import 'ext4/default/all'; // other sass rules
*Sorry for interfering the initial question. i think it's related
17 Mar 2013 11:46 PM #5
I didn't want to constrain the question to themes only.
There are missing and dark spots in app creation as well.
Also, something is not working very well between CMD and architect which, IMHO, shall really go together...
Anyway, glad to hear sencha is working on that...
18 Mar 2013 11:09 PM #6
I don't purport to be an expert (quite the opposite), but here's what I've done after a little trial and error, in the hope it might be useful to someone:
1) Create an empty theme. Replace "mytheme" with the name of your theme. (NB: I believe you can create a theme extending another one, but I've just done it from scratch.)
sencha generate package -type=theme mytheme
"extend": "ext-theme-neptune"
cur_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__) css_path = $css_path = File.join(cur_dir, '..', 'build', 'resources') output_style = :nested
4) Copy over files from the sass/etc, sass/src, and sass/var directories of the theme you are modifying to the corresponding directories in your theme as appropriate and edit. To keep things organized, the convention seems to be to use etc for general, theme-wide variables, and to put the rest into the appropriate files in var.
The way the pre-packaged themes are built, you can accomplish quite a lot just by changing the variables in the various files in var. You only need to put anything in src if you want to create entirely new classes -- say, an additional ui (skin, really) for a particular type of component (keeping in mind you can edit the existing uis as desired if you just want to change the default look), or the classes for a custom component type you've built.
You could write the var files from scratch, too, but I find it's useful to have the reference to which variables are set in the parent theme(s): I just delete the ones I'm not changing.
You can also dig through to see where those variables are used by looking at the corresponding src files of the parent theme(s). So, for instance, if you're extending the Neptune theme, look at the Neptune src files as well as the ext-theme-neutral files, which Neptune extends, and the ext-theme-base files, which ext-theme-neutral extends.
5) Once you've made some change you want to see, compile the theme. From the directory the theme is located in:
sencha package build
7) To test / use in your app, change app config / copy-and-paste css and image files and edit links as appropriate, depending on how your app is structured.

@london_lawyer - thank you
@sencha-team: do you think it might be possible to have a wiki for stuff like that?
I understand preparing the main stream documentation is not an easy task, that's why I think a wiki might be really useful for a user-based howto repository.
21 Mar 2013 8:48 AM #8
Waiting to upgrade to 4.2 until there are some better docs on how to generate our custom themes.
21 Mar 2013 2:37 PM #9
@london_lawyer: Thank you very much! That really helped a lot!Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better іdiot-proof programs, and the universe striving to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning. (Rick Cook)

Setting default theme
Thought I'd add my small discoveries here since the official docs are still lacking.
The default theme that's used by 'sencha app build' is controlled by the app.theme line in the .sencha/app/sencha.cfg
I'm unclear on what the requires:[] line is used for in the package.json file. I'd guessed that that was how you'd add additional sass dependancies but sass files are picked up by just placing them in the theme's sass/src directory.

Jacey Ferrara ('14) | Psychology
From Austin, Texas
For Jacey Ferrara, it all started with a phone call from Philadelphia. She had been selected to be part of the BuxMont Torch football club, a mission-based Women's Premier Soccer League team out of Pennsylvania.
Ferrara, a member of the Wildcat women's soccer team, is just one of many ACU students who choose to spend their summers serving others.
A higher purpose
The BuxMont club is a competitive soccer team, but its main goal is to spread the news of Jesus, Ferrara said.
"While I was there, we made many efforts to connect with the community, including neighborhoods, school and churches," Ferrara said. "We went to a few schools and youth groups to visit with kids, invited them to games, and gave them opportunities to come spend time and fellowship with us after games."
After every game, win or lose, the club would hand out wristbands to the other team to promote God and the Kingdom.
"The bracelet has five symbols on it explaining that Jesus came, died for our sins, rose again on the third day, ascended to heaven, and is coming back to save us all again," Ferrara said. "After handing out the bracelets, we asked if the other team would mind praying with us. If the other team felt comfortable, we would all gather around in a circle with our arms around each other and pray." Then members from both teams joined for a meal.
Bringing it home
The experience had a lasting effect on Ferrara, and has encouraged her to reach out to people in Abilene.
"Honestly, it was incredible," Ferrara said. "It was so cool to see what they were doing and to see the passion the organization had in sharing the Word. In the month or so I was in Pennsylvania, I learned more than I can even fathom. I felt like through the experience, God planted a seed in me, and the fruit is still just popping up everywhere. God has been so faithful in allowing my experience in Pennsylvania to guide my path now. I've been able to apply so many of the things I've learned to my life right now."

text: I think I reverse engineered and figured out the problem. However, I am not sure how to solve it. Maybe someone can help. Basically the reason why swish-e was giving me an error result no matter what search string I input was because it does not search through .doc files for some reason. Then I tried to convert the .doc file to .txt format and run the search again and it still wouldnt search it for me. I am guessing that is because the conversion resulted in the addition of some headers that eventually corrupted the data and search was not possible. The third thing i tried was that I cut and pasted all the data from one of my .doc files into a new .txt file and then ran a search command. Guess what...it was successful. However, I have a large number of files and it doesnt make sense to convert each one of them to a .txt format. Does any one know how could I convert the .doc to .txt format just for the purpose of searching. I believe I might have to use FileFilters but does someone have some previous code or something to help clear the fog.

For example, let us say we were conducting a study of facial features and we were comparing hair color, nose type and eye shape. Those three characteristics would identify something or someone. What would a good term be for the items that are used to identify a unique point in the problem space?
I looked at a few similar words in the Thesaurus on thefreedictionary.com. For example, under coordinate (n) it yielded co-ordinate, Cartesian coordinate, polar coordinate and number. Most of those were not even synonyms except in the most trivial sense.
"Characteristics" is a superset of what I am referring to, as it includes all characteristics, not simply the ones considered unique or defining.

WSFB brings back the ever-changing Metropolis, a quick-witted, insightful, and thought-provoking concept. "I wanted to take those random, potential life changing moments and explore the twists and turns of every day city life," comments Gary.

does this take still shots. I'm going to look for into it but if someone knows then please answer.
A review on amazon says:
-No still images as advertised. If you want these you will need to grab them off your videos.
Need these for my shot for shot remake of the "Mission Impossible" movie but all the actors are too tall to play Tom Cruise's part.
@wyccad915: Amazon lists them as being able to take 5.1 MP still images.

Great preview, thanks. Can you outline how has the Meeting Workspace changed both in terms of SharePoint and Outlook integration?
Good to see and hear about the new version of SharePoint. This seems to be about WSS only. Will an SPS version be released at the same time with the same features?
|A lots of very cool stuff, thanks
How easy to upgrade from Sharepoint v2 to v3?
Any nice info more for www.clubsps.org
Dustin Miller has a great Sharepoint report here: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dustin/archive/2005/09/14/3503.aspx

Great vid although I think you focused too much on blog and wiki stuff which is probably of little benefit to most Sharepoint users.

The Urban Edge Apartment Living Blog
Musings on living in NYC... oh, and real estate too
on January 24th, 2013
Urban Edge is a FREE no fee apartment website. Apartments for rent are listed by the owners, property managers, and leasing agents. Many of them connect their database directly to ours, so you're not looking at listings that have already been rented.
Here's what you WON'T find: bait and switch ads, brokers pretending to be owners, the same apartment posted by 20 different agents, and scam postings. How, you ask, do we do that?
This is how: no one posts an apartment for rent without their account first being approved by our top notch staff, trained to sniff out evil-doers (and brokers charging a fee).
Nabes we cover: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester County, Nassau County, Northern New Jersey (Hudson, Bergen and Essex Counties), and Fairfield County in CT.

Americans are smartening up and staying the hell away from school. We recently came to our senses and started avoiding law school. And now, we're avoiding fake colleges, as well. We'll make something of ourselves yet, fellow Americans!
Melissa Korn reports in the WSJ that the "For Profit College" industry—let's just call them fake colleges, in order to speak clearly and also to receive entertaining emails of protest from paid PR representatives—are now doing terribly. Which is great! Would you ever advise someone who was actually a friend of yours to go into deep debt in order to obtain a degree from "Devry" or the "University of Phoenix?" No, so we shouldn't let poor kids who don't know any better o vulnerable people just getting out of the military (prime recruiting targets) go do that, either. Some good news:
- "Undergraduate new-student enrollment fell 25.6% at DeVry's namesake university in the quarter ended June 30."
- "At Corinthian, which implemented changes to its recruiter compensation in April, new-student enrollment declined 21.5% in the first calendar quarter."
- "Kaplan reported a 47% decline in new-student enrollment for the June quarter."
That's good. These days it's either college for your kids, or your retirement. Don't blow it.

DHA represents up to 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain.
It is often said that Americans consume too much fat, but in the U.S. and other parts of the world, many people don't eat enough good fat. While consuming diets high in saturated and trans fats have been shown to raise LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels and increase the risk of coronary heart disease, foods high in polyunsaturated fats, specifically omega-3 fatty acids, are important for good health. When attempting to avoid the "bad fats" it is important to not cut out the "good" fats as well. So, how can you tell which fats are good and which fats are bad?
The Good Fats
The Bad Fats
Both the American Heart Association and the USDA Dietary Guidelines have recognized the association between the consumption of polyunsaturated fats, specifically omega-3 fatty acids, for good heart health.
Understanding the Role that Each Omega-3 Plays
Today, more and more food products claim to be a good source of omega-3's, but not all omega-3's are created equal. There are three major omega-3 fatty acids each with distinct health benefits:
DHA, a long chain omega-3 fatty acid, is the most abundant omega-3 in the brain and retina. It is also an important structural component of heart tissue and naturally found in breastmilk.
EPA, a long chain omega-3 fatty acid, is important for human health. However, unlike DHA, EPA is not stored in significant levels in the brain and retina and is not considered a significant structural part of the body.
ALA, an essential fatty acid (EFA), is a shorter-chain omega-3 fatty acid that serves as a source of energy. It is also a precursor for EPA and DHA and is needed for skin health.

5 Ways to Trick Your Body Into Being More Awesome
The human body is a miracle. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't always be finding ways to game the system to gain a little bit more of an advantage. We've previously shown you how to hack your brain into overdrive and pointed out that your body hides all sorts of secret powers from you. You just have to know how to make it give up its secrets.
#5. Drink a Cup of Coffee Before a Nap -- You'll Feel Better
Imagine you're pulling an all-nighter trying to meet a deadline, or driving all night trying to figure out which warehouse the Joker stashed Harvey Dent in -- whatever the case, you're incredibly tired and sleep is not an option. Traditionally you'd either take a nap or have some coffee (or a urine-staining energy drink), but it's one or the other -- either try to get a quick nap, or power through on a chemical high.
Or "highs."
But science, true to form, took these two seemingly contradictory options and decided to merge them together, like when WCW invaded the World Wrestling Federation. And it worked, and not in the order you'd expect.
Researchers found that a cup of coffee followed by an immediate 15-minute nap is a notably more effective method of staying awake and alert for longer than either coffee or a nap alone. Which is a bit odd when you think about it, since you'd expect the caffeine to keep you awake, leaving you teetering on the edge of falling asleep but not quite going over (this is known in the scientific community as the Edward Norton-Brad Pitt boundary). But the trick to the "caffeine nap" is that caffeine doesn't act immediately -- it takes about 45 minutes to be completely ingested, but the effect of the drug kicks in after only 15 minutes.
Which is why we recommend injecting grizzly bear adrenaline into your first cup of the morning.
See, what caffeine actually does is block your brain's ability to respond to adenosine, a chemical that builds up in your bloodstream the longer you're awake. The more adenosine you have in your body, the more your brain tries to get you to sleep. So by drinking coffee (or soda or a nice can of BAWLS) and then diving directly into bed, you can sleep for 15 minutes and get the regular restorative effects of a nap. By the time you wake up, the caffeine you've ingested is swimming in your bloodstream and dulling the effects of adenosine, stabbing your tiredness in the face.
"Eat it, need for energy conservation!"
#4. Don't Stretch Before a Workout
Ever since you were a kid, it's been drilled into your head that if you're about to do anything more active than sitting completely still and farting in a beanbag chair, then you'd better damn well stretch your arms and legs first. That is, unless you enjoy cramps, injuries and an empty trophy case.
Plus, it's a great way to show off your bulge.
But it turns out that what the coaches thought was good for you was actually leaving you worse off. Static stretching -- the kind where you reach down to touch your toes and hold -- before an intense workout or game will not only wear you out quicker but also make you more liable to injury. And that's because when you stretch, your limbs consider the possibility that they're about to be snapped off, so they tighten. Furthermore, you're lengthening the muscles' fibers, which wears them down and leaves you weaker during the actual workout.
A study at the University of Nevada tested participants by having them stretch before running. Results showed that those who stretched generated less force from their leg muscles than those who did no stretching at all. Other studies have found decreases of about 30 percent in muscle strength after stretching. And on top of all this, as we mentioned before, these stretches don't warm you up -- they tighten the muscles, which is about as far as you can get from the ideal state of having them warm and loose.
Which is why most reputable physicians recommend shooting your legs with lasers before starting a run.
So, what, you should avoid stretching? No -- stretching in itself is fine. It improves your flexibility, and experts recommend you do it a few times a week. But it's only fine by itself, like a miniature version of exercise, or at the very most done after a workout. Doing it before the workout is what the research is saying to avoid.
All right, so do you go right from bed to pulling a sled full of rocks through the snow like in Rocky IV? No, the alternative to stretching is to do some warm-up exercising before breaking into your regular Herculean fitness regime. A quick jog is much more effective than static stretching (in both improving performance and reducing injury), but ideally you'd base your warm-up on whatever it was you were about to do -- for example, runners would do things like squats or lunges before the inspirational training montage music kicks in.
That said, squats can be pretty damn inspirational on their own.
#3. Eavesdrop With Your Right Ear, Pick Out Music With Your Left
At some point you've probably seen that spinning ballerina GIF floating around online, the one that supposedly tells you whether you're "left-brained" or "right-brained." We won't go into the details here, but not only is the ballerina test bullshit, but the thing it's testing (that logical people rely on the left hemisphere and artistic people the right) is a fairly large over-simplification. In reality, both hemispheres work together for pretty much everything.
It takes a full brain to make us as gullible as we are.
However, it is true that your two hemispheres aren't identical. In the case of sound, it's long been known that your left hemisphere kicks ass at deciphering verbal information like speech, and the right hemisphere excels with tones and music. It is also known that your left brain controls the right side of your body and vice versa. But because the information between the hemispheres is shared (through the corpus callosum -- yea, Latin), it shouldn't make much difference which ear you use to listen to things, right?
Nope. It turns out that because the left ear is always sending shit (music) to the right hemisphere and the right ear is always sending shit (speech) to the left hemisphere, the ears themselves have actually evolved in the way they process sounds.
Which means you're paying 50 percent too much for headphones.
As a result, your right ear is measurably better at processing speech, and your left ear more so at tones and music. Now, don't go expecting that turning your head to give the appropriate ear will produce a surround sound digitally remastered version of what you've normally been hearing, but there will be an improvement. This is important to remember the next time you're sneaking through the air vents of an evil corporation, or just trying to figure out whether that is in fact a Peter Gabriel song you're hearing in the supermarket.

Oh, go ahead and tool about in your Camry. Not everyone, dear driver, aspires to be like you in your cookie-cutter car. Give those other guys a '67 Corvette, a '49 Merc, a rocking '32 deuce coupe. For them, a car is as much testimony as transportation. Their mechanics understand that.

Even worse, the game only has one save file. I'd like a way to start over again, but I really don't want to lose my parts, or my dioramas (which I spent a great deal of time on).
If I start a new game, do I get to keep my stuff?

Fall River Public Schools may become America's latest "high needs" school system to take up the federal government on its offer for a universal free school lunch program. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education says the Community Eligibility Provision of the federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 "allows for a healthier student body and a healthier school meal budget."
Who wouldn't want to take a bite of that apple?
Under the existing National School Lunch Program, as long as income-eligible families fill out the proper paperwork, qualifying students can participate in the free-and-reduced cost lunch programs that have long been available to help feed needy students. Already, 70 percent of Fall River students are taking advantage of the existing free lunch program, and another 7 percent are getting the reduced-price lunch. And, school officials believe still more of the city's students would qualify for free or reduced price lunch if every eligible family filled out the paperwork.
There are many good reasons to support a universal free lunch program for all students, regardless of age or income. Healthy, well-fed kids perform better in class. School officials say that joining the universal lunch program would prevent an anticipated hike in school lunch prices, increase the number of kids getting school lunch and save families money.
Eliminating income qualifications would remove the stigma attached to free and reduced-price lunches, and administrative expenses associated with the current program would be reduced, in large part through the elimination of paperwork. As well, the program would provide a rare break for working families who may not qualify for other assistance.
But it's not all up side. Fall River qualifies for the universal program because of the high poverty level in our community. And no matter how you slice it, signing on to this program would increase our dependency on government subsidies at a time when the rally cry is toward greater autonomy.
According to school officials, the federal government would reimburse the meals at $2.93 each. Buying lunch for each of Fall River's 10,500 students would cost the government $30,765 per day. During the course of a 180-day school year, the program in Fall River alone would cost about $5.5 million.
When Uncle Sam wants to buy our city's kids a nutritious lunch, it's tough to say no. Given the high rates of poverty in our city and the public interest of helping children and families, it probably makes sense to move forward with it. But we ought to do so with a full understanding as to why the offer is being made and exactly what it costs us in increased reliance on the kindness of government.
