New leadership is in place at the Kewanee Food Pantry, where Sarah Titlow has been named director. Titlow, a retired Kewanee High School special education teacher, says the pantry now serves more than 400 families each month, with demand rising due to higher food costs and changes to SNAP benefits. She says shelves are especially low near month's end, with needs including protein, fruits, vegetables, cereal, hygiene products, and easy-open foods for people without access to cooking. Donations can be made at kewaneefoodpantry.org, by mail to P.O. Box 492 in Kewanee, or during pantry hours. The Kewanee Food Pantry is located at 924 Rose Street and is open on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 2 PM and Thursdays from 3 to 6 PM. Kewanee Food Pantry continues to make a major impact for local families facing food insecurity. The nonprofit serves eligible Kewanee residents, assisting about 475 households each month and distributing roughly one million pounds of food every year. In 2025, the pantry handed out nearly 5,700 food boxes, helping approximately 19,500 people. Food and supplies come from wholesalers, distributors, area food banks, local stores, and commodity items from the State of Illinois. Public donations, along with support from area groups and businesses, also play a vital role. The pantry's “Backpacks for Kids” program remains another key effort, providing 3,760 backpacks to local children during the 2025 school year.
Backpacks are out this year, but we know what's in! Strap a belt around your books, tote your coffee in a dainty forty-eight ounce bucket, and move yourself around the office in a gamer chair shaped like Shaq. If all else fails, just have an otter carry your stuff around for you.

Back to School, Back to the Book: Learning and Instruction for Life and Godliness August has a rhythm to it. Backpacks are dusted off, school supply lists get pulled from the fridge, and classrooms across the country fill again with students ready — or not so ready — to learn. It's a season that turns our minds naturally toward education, instruction, and the shaping of young minds. But long before the first school bell of the year rings, the wisest man who ever lived was already wrestling with the pursuit of knowledge. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon reflects that "of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Solomon had access to the finest wisdom, wealth, and learning of his day — and still found that human knowledge alone, apart from God, leaves the soul unsatisfied. There is one education, however, that never wearies the soul because it leads to life. Paul charges young Timothy: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). This is the curriculum that matters most — not merely gathering information, but rightly handling God's Word so that our lives are shaped by it. This kind of learning doesn't begin in a classroom; it begins in the home. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Parents are a child's first teachers — the first voice shaping what is right and wrong, true and false. We see this modeled perfectly in the life of Christ Himself, who "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man" (Luke 2:52) — growing under instruction,

Rob Scheer was thrown out at 18 with a trash bag. He was the youngest of 10 children. His mother was married six times. His father beat him and his siblings, punching him in the bladder so repeatedly that by the time Rob joined the Navy, it ruptured. He had spent his senior year of high school homeless — sleeping in the bathroom of the taco restaurant where he worked, on beanbag chairs in the public library after closing, and on the floors of friends' homes. He barely graduated. He had no family to go back to. He had no picture to put on his bunk in boot camp except one of Tina Turner. Then he became one of the most successful mortgage bankers in the country. On Episode 237 of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, Rob Scheer sits down with Lori Saitz to share the full arc: the teachers who believed in him when no one else did, the Navy discharge that sent him hitchhiking down Route 7 with a Salvation Army suit and a fabricated resume, the mortgage industry boss who ripped that resume in half and told him he was the most honest person he had ever met, the 28-year banking career, and the moment he looked at his four children in designer clothes and realized he had raised entitled kids who had never learned empathy. That realization led to Comfort Cases — a nonprofit that packs backpacks filled with brand-new essentials for children entering foster care on their first night. No more trash bags. Over 320,000 cases delivered to all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. Three-month waiting list for volunteers. Published by Derek Jeter. Featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Rob also shares what it means to be a foster and adoptive father to five sons, including one adopted at 18 in an adult adoption. He talks about why empathy is not in our DNA and must be taught, what leadership actually looks like outside of a job title, and why a five-year-old named Grayson was the one who understood from the very beginning that every backpack needs a blanket.

Due to his extensive writing and lecturing John Walton is recognized as a leading scholar on OT backgrounds. His attempts to convey this research to varied audiences, often non-specialists, has led him to search out imagery that will make even involved ideas more intuitively accessible. One such metaphor is that of cultural "backpacks." Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emeritus at Wheaton Graduate School, is a frequent contributor to this podcast. He has many volumes in his "Lost World" series along with many other publications, including (with Andrew Hill), A Survey of the Old Testament (4th ed.). He is currently collaborating with Dr. Aubrey Buster in preparing a major commentary on Daniel (NICOT). The first volume on Daniel 1-6 is already available, and the second volume on Daniel 7-12 is on the way.

It's Sam's last episode for three whole months! To see him off on his backpacking trip through Asia and Europe, the PG crew covers some good news, like the Luigi Mangione legal fund hitting $1.5 million [Jamie already talked about this with Tony, but she forgot], Idris Robinson getting his job back, and Green Scare victim Marius Mason's release from prison. In other backpack-related news, some of the evidence collected from Luigi's backpack will be suppressed while two key pieces, the gun and the notebook, will not be. We go over the shadiness of the missing bodycam footage. The crew also discuss Sam's reasons for taking a break from the internet and Jamie's missed connection, and Jamie wishes Sam a happy birthday.

You know how, when teaching finishes for the summer, you feel all-powerful and end up vastly over-estimating how much you'll be able to get done before the new academic year? And, have you ever noticed that the opposite happens once term starts up again: you're overwhelmed, you panic because you don't think you're going to manage to do everything, but then you surprise yourself and it's all fine in the end? Yeah, well, there's a reason for that. Join your imperfectionist pal for a speculative little dive into the psychology of perception, and some ideas about how you can smooth out the bumps and make nice, sensible plans all year round.ReferencesBalcetis E, Dunning D.

The Iñupiat community of Kaktovik in northern Alaska is known as the polar bear capital of the U.S. Hundreds of tourists used to flock to the village of about 250 people to see bears. But several years ago, the tours were halted because of opposition from residents. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA has more on what happened to the tours, and what the tribe is doing to revive them. “There is polar bear ground right there.” Nathan Gordon Jr. is driving his truck on the spit right outside of Kaktovik. He is mayor and leads the town's polar bear patrol program. Under his back seat, he has a shotgun, and in his console, shotgun rounds and cracker shells. Mayor Nathan Gordon Jr. looks at one of the rounds for deterring bears on March 3, 2026. (Photo: Alena Naiden) Kaktovik sits on Barter Island on the Beaufort Sea coast. In late summer and fall, up to 80 polar bears come on land – a trend that has been increasing as the sea ice diminishes. That brought the need for patrol – and created opportunities for polar bear viewing. “There was booming during the fall time.” But in 2020, the pandemic put a pause on visitation. Then the federal government halted the tours. Gordon says Kaktovik leaders have been working to revive them. “Let’s get this place back to making money, and it’ll be great for everybody.” Ketil Reitan started the company Kaktovik Tours in 2010. By 2019, he and his two children took several hundred tourists a season. “We were able to make a year’s income in about six weeks.” The number of tourists soared from about 50 in 2010 to over 1,000. Tourism grew so quickly, residents were worried it was interfering with subsistence practices. NoraJane Burns says that visitors would book out seats on small flights and limit the amount of freight that was coming in. “Especially when we have elders that go out for medical … and then when they try to come back, the flights would be booked.” NoraJane Burns outside of her home in Kaktovik, Alaska on March 3, 2026. (Photo: Alena Naiden) The COVID-19 pandemic shut down the tours. A year later, the U.S. Department of Interior issued an order to pause commercial polar bear viewing permits. Since then, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been collaborating with the city and village of Kaktovik, as well as Kaktovik Inupiat Corporation. They have been working on a management plan for polar bear viewing. Gordon says that this time around, he wants the community to develop infrastructure for tourists and focus more on educating them. But who will run the tours? Burns is busy with her job at Kaktovik Public Works Department and Reitan sold his boats and moved to Nome, but they both hope the younger generation will take over polar bear tours, if and when they are back. (Courtesy Maȟpíya Lúta) A South Dakota high schooler is receiving one of the nation's highest honors for citizens by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. SDPB's Jackson Dircks reports. Cody Two Bulls (Oglala Sioux) came up with an idea four years ago at baseball practice. His teammates told him they did not have backpacks and school supplies. Two Bulls began trying to find donations to help his teammates, but soon realized there were a lot of people needing the resources. “I started like, ‘What if instead of helping out just specifically my teammates or my family, what if I did it for everyone?' So then, like a flower it started blossoming. And then new people started reaching out to me, and I put it out there on the internet. Next thing you know, I'm getting like a bunch of donations to help as much as I can on the reservation.” That idea has led to thousands of meals, backpacks, holiday gifts, and essential items reaching kids and families in need on the Pine Ridge Reservtion. Two Bulls created what is called Baseball and Backpacks. People donate items on Walmart and Amazon shopping lists, and those get sent to Two Bulls' house. He gathers the items, things like notebooks and toiletries, into backpacks for students. The giveaway is done at a baseball field, where simultaneously Two Bulls holds a baseball clinic that teaches kids the fundamentals of the sport. There are four of these different drives, though some look different, like a Christmas toy drive and Easter drive. He does this on top of being a multisport athlete at Maȟpíya Lúta. Two Bulls is one of five individuals named a 2026 Citizen Honors Award recipient. He's receiving the Service Act Award – which honors Americans who “consistently place others before themselves through a focused initiative of volunteer service.” Two Bulls calls it humbling and honoring to be recognized. “The fact that I'm just a smalltown kid from South Dakota, it's mindblowing. It's crazy to me how just by helping others, I was able to get recognized for that,” Two Bulls said. “So, even today for example, when I started telling all my teachers and we shared it to school, it's a whole new feeling. It's like, ‘Wow!'” Two Bulls will be honored March 25 in Washington D.C. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

March 15th 2026 Yuriy recalls buying an olive military backpack in early 2022 despite friends insisting the Ukraine war would end soon, and now—after wearing through three and needing a fourth—he reflects bitterly on how long the war has lasted. He marks the time by his daughter turning 21 and laments missing key moments of her growing up, wishing her a life with more peace.

I recently found myself remembering how at the very beginning of my service in the Army, I ordered a backpack from an online store for all my military stuff. Back then, my comrades advised me to buy a black or a blue one, anything but an olive colored backpack. The logic was simple: the war would end soon and you'd be left with an obviously military backpack. Why would you need something like that in civilian life? But at that time, early spring of 2022, the only backpacks available for sale in Ukraine were olive colored. I had no choice but to buy one, and for a while afterwards I had to listen to people around me explaining what a fool I was. The war would be over any day now, and here you are all decked out in military gear. It's strange to remember that now. Strange and bitter at the same time. Since the beginning of a full scale war, I've already gone through free olive backpacks. The current one isn't in great shape anymore. I've had to stitch it up, replace the zippers, reinforce the straps. But anyway, it'll clearly soon join. Its two predecessors and I'll go back looking for a new one- my fourth backpack. And I'm not all sure that it'll be the last. Honestly, I'm not sure. To understand how long ago I bought that first backpack. It's enough to say that my daughter had just turned 17 back then. When the big war began she was 16. And it is her birthday today, she's 21. She's fully grown old, but I was not next to her at some very important moments of her growing up. Not because I didn't want to be, but because I simply couldn't- because the war means I cannot control my own life. This year, I'm not beside here either. I'm very sorry, but it's turned out this way. But there is nothing I can do to change it. I hope that next year everything will be different, but that's only hope. There is no certainty about it and there it can't be. 21 is a wonderful age. You are already an adult, but your whole life is still ahead of you. On her birthday, I definitely wish my daughter that her life contains more peace. Everything else has long since faded into the background.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Phil Holloway, MK True Crime host, to discuss the latest updates in the Nancy Guthrie abduction investigation, gloves found near Guthrie's home, exclusive details about the separate overnight search near her home, and more. Then Jim Fitzgerald and Maureen O'Connell, former FBI agents, to discuss new video footage of a man with two backpacks the night Guthrie went missing just 5 miles from her house, whether he could be involved in the abduction or the same person on the Nest camera, how quickly we'll know whether the DNA on the gloves fit Guthrie or the abductor, what happens next with the investigation, and more. Then Will Geddes and James Hamilton, security experts, join to discuss the apparently cheap backpack and low-budget awkward-looking gun holster on the mystery person at Nancy Guthrie's house, how information on these items may help the investigation, the uncertainty behind the ransom Bitcoin stories, whether we should take the TMZ reporting seriously, and more.

In this episode of The North American Waterfowler, Elliott goes full rant mode. From holiday nostalgia to Chiefs stress to duck hunting “experts” who speak in absolutes, this one covers it all. Elliott breaks down why claims about mallards, cold fronts, ice, and snow often get tossed around like scientific fact when most of it is nothing more than opinion dressed up as truth. He also dives into weather frustration, the chaos of unpredictable forecasts, and the strategy game of stale-bird hunting. Then the big one: Georgie's escalating whining problem. Elliott lays out exactly how it's getting worse, why it's such a devastating issue for a dog guy, and why even top pros don't have a real solution. The episode wraps with November hunt stats, comment of the week, and a powerful message for hunters dealing with trials and stress during the holiday season.

Car seat safety is one of those topics that feels overwhelming…so many straps, rules, and confusing instructions and yet it's one of the most important things we do as parents. In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and child passenger safety technician, Michelle Pratt from Safe in the Seat, to talk about the most common car seat mistakes parents make and how to fix them. We both share our own missteps (yes, even as a pediatrician and as a safety expert!) and the lessons that changed how we buckle our kids in. We cover: Why “winging it” with installation is risky, and how to practice before you leave the hospital Chest clip placement, shoulder strap positioning, and the “one-inch rule” every parent should know Rear-facing myths, what age to turn forward, and why “rear until 2” isn't the full story The truth about aftermarket products (like those head straps) and why they can be dangerousHow to empower kids to notice and speak up about their own car seat safety To connect with Michelle Pratt check out all her resources at https://www.safeintheseat.com/.
