4th of July

2009-07-06T10:03:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all those who make the 4th of July events in Eveleth what they are!!!!

I had the honor of bringing my daughter to her first fireworks and it is an event that we plan to make an annual tradition. I remember going to the parade when I was young and brought her to her first parade. It is so fun to pass down those traditions from my childhood to my daughter.

This is only possible due to the hard work and dedication of so many community members. Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and the sponsors. You do great work!

Summer Hunger Could Increase for Northland Families...

2009-06-03T12:40:00.000-07:00

Summer hunger could increase for Northland families already struggling
Northern Lakes Food Bank
6/2/2009

Typically when school ends for the year, thousands of Northland children face a long summer without a consistent source of balanced, nutritious meals – their free and reduced school breakfast and lunch. This year could be especially difficult as families continue to struggle throughout our region.

“Already this year, use at NE MN and NW WI 35 food shelves has increased 32% by children,” said Shaye Moris, Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank’s executive director. “Families have been hit hard by the economic downturn and many programs have seen record demand for food or other services. Summer could be really difficult.”

Each month in our region over 4,300 children receive food or meals from the food bank, a local food shelf, soup kitchen or youth program. Again, that’s a 32% increase from just a year ago.
Many local food shelves, soup kitchens and youth programs in the Northland strive to combat childhood hunger year-round, but encounter obstacles as the demand for food increases during the summer months.

The Damiano Center which operates a Kids Café© meal program has seen a big jump in the number of children coming for meals. “As recently as a couple of years ago, we prepared for 250 to 300 people at lunch; this summer we’re expecting 400 at each meal,” said Damiano Executive Director David Benson. “This is particularly challenging as we enter the summer months, which always bring higher numbers. Many people experience greater need this time of year.”
To ensure no children go without meals this summer, Moris states that the food bank, its 140 member agencies, and Northland families need the support of the region.

“The community can make a difference,” Moris states. “Financial assistance allows the rescue of food and the feeding of families—volunteer support ensures the operation of our programs. The irony is that childhood hunger is a solvable problem. Our food bank’s goal and the goal of our agencies is to provide nutritious food so children do not have to skip or reduce the size of their meals to ensure their families have enough food to eat.”

As the region’s only food bank, Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank rescues
2.9 million pounds of nationally and regionally donated food for distribution to 140 regional non-profit programs located throughout its northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin service region annually. Over 1 million pounds of food (enough food for 800,000 meals) is rescued and distributed by the food bank to children in our region each year.

For more information contact Shaye Moris, (218) 727-5653, ext. 113 or email shaye@northernlakesfoodbank.org. Our Marketing Coordinator, Deanna Corry, can also be contacted at (218) 727-5653, ext. 118 or email deanna@northernlakesfoodbank.org.

Spring Fever

2009-03-30T11:05:00.000-07:00

Symptoms and Cures for Spring Fever Blues

Like the confused plants, peepers and other sleepy wildlife, I cannot resist waking early from hibernation. The moment it reaches fifty degrees, I long for those days to walk barefoot across the soft green grass, no longer staring out the kitchen window feeling the symptoms of spring fever pangs. I'm no long satisfied with my lazy listless feelings of not giving a crap.

With symptoms of spring fever at epidemic levels, a change of pace sounds rather appealing.

If you're feeling blue and think you may be suffering from symptoms of spring fever, rest assured you are not alone. There are many ways of overcoming symptoms of spring fever blues.

Cures for Spring Fever Blues

Ok, it's time to get the blood flowing. Come out from your winter hibernation and get active. I am certain being active is a good cure if you have cabin fever or the spring fever blues.

This is a good time of year to get out and explore. Take a hike in the woods or do a nature walk with your friends and family. Listen very carefully to the sounds of spring all around you like the soft spring breeze rustling through the leaves, or water flowing and birds singing all while you get some fun and healthy exersise to cure your spring fever blues.

Ten more Tips to Cure Spring Fever Blues

I. Inhale the rich earthy smell of the ground or the early blooms like the gardenias. Pick them, bring them into your home and float them in bowls of water around the house. This makes for a heavenly sight and scent to cure your spring fever blues.

2. Open up your windows and let in the warm fresh air and the sweet spring aromas of the early tree blossoms. One of my favorites is the lilac. It reminds me of home when growing up. Make everything smell fresh and clean. Notice all the bright spring colors and sweet fragrances all around, outside and in.

3. On the next warm day get outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fire up the grill and make some picnic goodies like hotdogs and hamburgers. Then treat yourself to your favorite ice cream.

4. If "old man winter" is still around where you live why not give indoor gardening a try. Plant a windowsill herb garden, make a terrarium, build a birdfeeder or hand paint some flower pots.

5. Put away your winter decorations and liven up your home with a fresh coat of paint and buy yourself some beautiful houseplants or a bouquet of fresh flowers or change the room around to keep you busy and to give you a change of scenery for a sure spring fever cure.

6. Add a touch of spring with brightly colored pillows of pinks, yellows, and white to accent your rooms and to add some cheer.

7. Hang some fun and colorful pictures or posters of your favorite beach or flower or whatever else turns you on. Tropical beaches are my favorites. Whatever makes you happy!

8. It may not be warm enough for the beach right now but listening to some reggae or Hawaiian music can help you daydream of those gentle winds with the warmth of the sun shining on your hair and skin.

9. There are a variety of resources at your Eveleth library that will help relieve the symptoms of spring fever. Check out the videos and DVD travelogues. Check out the travel guides and make plans for your summer vacation. If you like gardening now is the time to read from the vast collection of gardeningbooks. Choose a book of interest and do read to your hearts content.

10. This ones my favorite Owe-it-to-yourself day is a cure for spring fever and a good way to clear your mind of life expectations and breathe new life into it. Be good at shaking your life up from time to time. Dream Big! Dream the Impossible Dream!

Proposed changes

2009-02-23T08:13:00.001-08:00

The proposed budget cuts by the governor are very real and closely affect members of our community. Here are 2 stories of how the proposed changes would affect lifes. Both presented this to the legislators that met at MRCTC on Friday:

"Hi my name is Lindsey. I am a working single mother with 2 children.

When I had my son I could work only one full time job and barely made ends meet. With rent, utility, food and childcare I would run out of money at the middle of the month. A friend told me about MFIP for the food and childcare, and thanks to MFIP I have a little money for diapers, wipes, and clothes for my kids. I tried going back to college but there were no openings for childcare and my friends couldn’t provide reliable daycare with their changing schedules so I had to quit school. I grew up in foster care so I don’t have family that can help me out. I finally got daycare assistance and now I am going back to school this summer to get a degree in human services, so I can better my life for my kids and myself.

I acknowledge that there are people out there who are lazy and don’t want to work so they take MFIP assistance for granted. But there are a lot of people in my situation who abide by all the rules MFIP has. For example: we volunteer or job search 25 hours a week. The volunteering helps us get the experience we need to find a job either at our volunteer site or someplace else; it gives us the experience and work references we need for other employment opportunities. We turn in time cards, paystubs, or anything that our financial workers or employment counselors need. My employment counselor got me into an office works program to update my skills with computers so I can have something recent to put on my resume. I was fortunate to take that program because it landed me with the organization I am doing paid work experience for now.

I don’t plan on being on MFIP for long. I can’t take care of 2 children on $387 a month. I do need the food support and childcare though. I have been working since I was 15 yrs old. I enjoy working but these days you need a degree to get any decent paying job, I intend to find that job but I know I need to finish school and I wouldn’t be able to be going back to school and work if it wasn’t for MFIP and the support systems they help people with in my situation.

If the Governor cuts child care assistance, I won’t be able to go to school or to work. My MFIP check is $387 – it would be $437 but the State takes out $50 because I live in subsidized housing – if the Governor’s proposal passes to cut $100 because of my housing subsidy, I don’t know how I will pay for diapers – you cannot buy diapers with food stamps and I have to pay my rent, utilities, and phone bill, there’s nothing left for my children’s needs.

I don’t have a car. A volunteer driver with AEOA’s Rural Rides program brings me to work every day and brings my children to daycare. The Governor’s budget proposes cutting people off MFIP if they have a car worth $7,500 – He doesn’t understand that I need reliable transportation when I’m driving in cold weather with young children. Besides my monthly budget doesn’t have room to have a fixer-upper that I’m always bringing in for repairs. I don’t have money to buy a car, but it seems crazy to kick me off MFIP if somebody were to donate a car to my family to help us get ahead.

Thank you for listening. All I want for myself and my children is an opportunity to work and go to school and build a life for ourselves. I don’t need hand-outs but I could use a reliable hand-up. If given a chance, I will work hard to be a contributing member of society."

"Good afternoon, My name is Stef and I’m the single mother of two beautiful children. Thank you for being here to hear impacts on the Governor’s proposed budget. My family was directly affected by his 2003 budget cuts to childcare. I made $36.00 a week too much to receive any kind of childcare assistance, leaving me in a dire situation. 3/5 of my weekly paycheck went to pay for childcare. I was left with nothing to feed my kids after rent and utilities were paid.

I made a very difficult choice to leave my employer of 5 years to go back to school to make a better living for my family. Now here I am almost finished with school and living in public housing. I’m working, going to school, and I give back to the community with my time each month. I pay rent and utilities and already there is a 50.00 deduction from my monthly grant just for living in subsidized housing.

Just to give you an idea, this month’s grant is $400. After paying rent that drops to $310 and after utilities it leaves me $210 for the month. Even if I include my income from working I have $410 this month to purchase just the necessities such as toilet paper, laundry soap, garbage bags, diapers, car insurance, phone bill, clothes and shoes for kids and the gas to get to and from school, work, and lets not mention any car repairs that may happen. Now the Governor wants to increase the $50 housing penalty to $100 – that is, people on MFIP who live in subsidized housing will have to pay $100 per MONTH to fix the state’s budget problem. It’s hard to face the reality that another $50.00 could be taken away just because I live in subsidized housing. I would have to work another 7 ½ hours to make $50, which would raise the State’s portion of the daycare bill by $43 for the month. So, the $50 the Governor will take from me, will cost the State an additional $43. It would make more sense to just raise my taxes by $7 a month.

By not raising taxes the Governor’s budget segregates specific groups, like people on MFIP or people who need childcare, or people who need health care, or even just the working class. Raising the income tax would affect all of us equally. I’m happy to pay, but I don’t want a disproportionate part of the cost to fall on my family and on other families in the same or similar situations.

Thanks again for being here."

RTH staff collects and distributes donations throughout the community including couches, chairs, beds, dressers, microwaves and other kitchen supplies, etc. free of charge. This program has proven to be a valuable resource for those in need of furniture and for those wishing to donate furniture rather than disposing it.
