In a unique collaboration celebrating history, community, and the spirit of resilience, Spring House Brewing Company has crafted "Saucy Boy," a refreshing blend of pale lager and grapefruit soda. But this beer is more than just a beverage; it's a tribute to the enduring legacy of Crispus Attucks, an emblematic figure in America's fight for freedom. Partnering with the Crispus Attucks Community Center and the Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County (CAP), Spring House Brewing Company embarked on a mission to commemorate and educate people about the historic significance of the Center, which has been a beacon of equity and justice in the community for nearly a century. The collaboration extends beyond brewing, with local artist Keisha Finnie lending her talents to create a visually stunning can design that honors the story of Crispus Attucks. Blending Finnie's artwork with a bold citrus graphic, the can reflects the vibrant essence of Saucy Boy, mirroring the beer's sweet, crisp, and citrusy notes. The choice of name, "Saucy Boy," carries profound meaning rooted in history. Crispus Attucks, an Indigenous-African man who escaped enslavement, met a tragic fate as the first American killed in the American Revolution. Yet, his memory endured, albeit tarnished by the derogatory remarks of the era. Future President John Adams infamously referred to Attucks and his compatriots as "a motley rabble of saucy boys," among other disparaging epithets. For the collaborators behind Saucy Boy, the name symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. It represents the defiance of oppression and the unwavering spirit of those who have fought for justice throughout history. Through this partnership, they aim to shed light on this often-overlooked chapter of American history and pay homage to Attucks' enduring legacy. "We are grateful to have some awesome partners carrying Saucy Boy in support of the Center," expressed Joshua Hunter the center's director. This sentiment underscores the collaborative effort that has brought Saucy Boy from concept to reality, with local businesses and community organizations rallying behind the cause. And the launch of Saucy Boy serves as more than just a celebration of craft beer; it's a celebration of community, culture, and the resilience of the human spirit. With each sip, drinkers are invited to reflect on the legacy of Crispus Attucks and the countless others who have dared to defy oppression and pave the way for a more just and equitable future. As Saucy Boy finds its place on shelves and in glasses across the community, it carries with it a message of hope and remembrance—a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the spirit of resilience endures. And in raising a glass to toast to this shared history, we honor the legacy of those who came before us and inspire future generations to continue the fight for justice and equality.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 169: Food insecurity and Obesity in Kern CountyFuture Dr. Kim presents the problem of food insecurity in Kern County and how it is linked to obesity and liver disease. She shared several resources available to address food insecurity. Dr. Arreaza reminds us of the importance of improving access to fresh and healthy foods.  Written by Judy Kim, OMS3; Mira Patel, OMS3; and Vy Nguyen, OMS3. Western University of Health Sciences. Editing and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Arreaza: Why did you pick this topic?Judy: While Kern County is known as one of the top-producing agricultural counties in the country, food insecurity is a major health disparity within this county. In order to dissect the problem of food insecurity in Kern County, we must first discuss the demographics and significance of this current topic. Among residents of Kern County, 23.1% are at or below 100% of the federal poverty level (FPL) and 47.7% are low-income (200% of FPL or below), which is higher than that of California.  Arreaza: What is food insecurity? In February 2023, we discussed the definition in Episode 128, but it is important to remember what it is. “Food insecurity is having limited, uncertain, or inconsistent access to the food necessary for a healthy life.” Another interesting fact is that it is estimated that 45% of undocumented immigrants in California are affected by food insecurity, including 64% of undocumented children (Source: 2021 CHIS).Judy: Food insecurity is strongly tied to numerous conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes, hepatitis, stroke, cancer, asthma, arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and kidney disease. Thus, this problem must be explored and discussed to find ways to improve health outcomes. However, the first steps must focus on bridging gaps in accessing healthy and affordable foods. For example, consumers have consistently noted that reliable transportation is a barrier when even applying for assistance before accessing their benefits. Oftentimes, families experiencing poverty, a large number of residents in Kern County, are part of the migrant community, move frequently, and experience difficulties even completing the necessary paperwork for programs such as the Migrant Childcare Alternative Payment program. Arreaza: It may be off-topic, but I had to search what MCAP is. The Migrant Childcare Alternative Payment (MCAP) Program provides childcare services to migrant farm worker families in Kern and other counties in California, such as Merced and Fresno. MCAP allows parents to work while children are taken care of by licensed childcare centers, licensed family childcare homes, license-exempt (relatives), and in-home providers. I think many families may not be aware of this program. This is a reminder for our residents and students that this is available for your patients. Judy: Going back to food insecurity, when looking at the distribution and locations of large supermarkets in the greater Bakersfield area, such as Albertsons, Smart & Final, and Vallarta, the northwest area has many large stores and without a high density of households in poverty. In contrast, Oildale, the southwest and southeast areas do not have many large markets nearby. Thus, it is also important to examine how and where our patients can access healthy and affordable food.Obesity and Fatty Liver Disease in Kern County.Judy: I would like to describe the relationship between food insecurity with liver disease. The food insecurity that is prevalent in Kern County contributes to the increasing number of overweight and obese populations we see here. Almost 78% of adults in Kern County are considered either overweight or obese. This is concerning because increased rates of obesity are correlated with higher rates of liver disease. As we know, the liver is responsible for breaking down fats, creating new small and medium-chain fatty acids, and transporting fats. With obesity, fat tends to accumulate in the liver since it is unable to properly break down the fat. This leads to steatosis. Short-term fatty liver disease does not have many clinical findings associated with it, but long term if left uncontrolled it can lead to cirrhosis and death. Arreaza: According to a review of the liver transplant list done in 2022, Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is currently the second leading cause of liver transplant overall, and in females, it is the number-one cause. In California, we see about 13.8 deaths per 100,000 persons from liver-related disease, but Kern County has a high 15.9 deaths per 100,000 persons, which exceeded the Healthy People 2020 objective for liver disease deaths of 8.2 per 100,000 persons. Judy: This was found in Kern Medical Community Needs assessments so these deaths could be correlated to NAFLD, NASH, fatty liver, autoimmune hepatitis, etc. but it is still concerning that the number of deaths from liver disease is about 2x the goal of maximum deaths we would want. Arreaza: So, you are linking food insecurity to obesity, and obesity to fatty liver disease, I see the correlation. Tell us about the local resources to address the problem of food insecurity. Local Resources Judy: As patients walk through our doors, we recognize the social determinants for health and quality of life of our patients. Besides providing affirmations and words of encouragement, it's helpful for the physician and medical staff to offer specific local resources that one can refer to. We collected a list of available resources, please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of the support available in Kern County. Rely on resources around you such as local organizations like Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) and social workers in conjunction with your research to have a comprehensive understanding of what's available for your patients. Arreaza: The first notable resource you guys found is the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, for our unique population– the elderly. It's a USDA-sponsored program that provides a 30-lb monthly food box for seniors 60 years and older who also fall below the federal income guidelines. Judy: The Golden Empire Gleaners also offer support to eligible seniors via a program called  Senior Sack, which has established over 20 sites throughout Kern County. Twice a month, each registered  senior will pick up 10-12 items of fresh fruits, vegetables, canned food, bread, and boxed staples at a local site. Upon arrival, they also engage in interactive activities with the staff and learn more about other local services available.Arreaza: Another resource is the Food Bank, provided by several nonprofit organizations such as Community Action Partnership of Kern, Golden Empire Gleaners,  where individuals of any age can come and receive nutritious food every month. Home delivery and emergency food boxes for seniors are also available. Judy: There are also farmers markets such as F Street Farmers Market, which operates year-round every Saturday from 7:45 am to noon. What's unique about F Street is they offer Market Match which matches program assistance's benefits such as that of CalFresh and eWIC to the farmers' markets and other farm-directed sites. How it works is when individuals use their benefits, Market Match will match that fund so the person can buy even more fruits and vegetables. For example, if I use $10 of CalFresh benefits at the farmers' market, I will also receive another $10 for a total of $20 to spend on any fresh produce. F Street Farmers Market will match up to $20 per visit year-round which increases access to fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as provides an incentive for the locals to support family farms and their businesses. To find other farmers' markets that offer other benefits, please visit Farmers Market Finder by Ecology Center or call CAPK for other free food distribution sites. Arreaza: I have to mention this wonderful initiative which I have participated in many times. It is called the bishop's storehouse, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a place where those in need can go to obtain food and other supplies at the recommendation of their bishop. So, it requires a “ticket” from a bishop, who is the leader of a congregation, to receive goods for free. People of any faith can request this help by going to any church location. So, we mentioned the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, Golden Empire Gleaners, Food Bank, F Street Farmers Market, and the bishop's storehouse. Judy, thanks for sharing this relevant information. Please give us a conclusion to wrap up this episode.Judy: As primary care doctors we are in a special position to prevent and treat many diseases. By addressing food insecurity, you may have a significant impact on your community. By providing appropriate nutrition, we can fight and prevent many diseases, such as fatty liver disease among others. We should share these resources with patients to improve their access to healthy food.___________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 169, “Food Insecurity and Obesity in Kern County.” Future Dr. Kim explained that food insecurity is linked to multiple chronic conditions, and she mentioned particularly obesity and fatty liver disease. Food insecurity can be partially addressed by sharing with our patients the resources in our community, and today you heard some of them, but we encourage you to keep looking for many others and share them with your patients. This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Judy Kim, Vy Nguyen, and Mira Patel.

The latest U.S. Census Bureau data reveals that the poverty rate among Americans aged 65 and older has risen from 8.9% in 2020 to 10.3%. Unfortunately, this age group is the only one experiencing an increase. This surge means an additional one million senior citizens now depend on resources to make ends meet. Back in 1973, the Foster Grandparents Program was established under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act. Its aim was to offer part-time work opportunities to individuals aged 60 and above in various community service endeavors. In the fifth installment of The Problem with Poverty podcast, we are honored to have Chantal Collier from CAPNA as our guest. Chantal serves as the Director of the Foster Grandparent's program at Community Action Partnership of North Alabama. In this episode, Chantal delves into the significant role played by the Foster Grandparent Program in addressing poverty. This program allocates grants to organizations with a dual objective: engaging Americans aged 55 and above in volunteer service and providing personalized assistance to children with special needs to enhance their academic, social, or emotional development. Volunteers in this program contribute by aiding children in learning to read and offering individualized tutoring. They also serve as mentors for troubled teenagers and young mothers, care for premature infants or children with disabilities, and assist children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

This week, we welcome Don Wood to share his story of falling in love with San Diego, one surf session at a time. Don discusses a few of his key takeaways from working with SDG&E, the Community Action Partnership, and C-3. He talks about the climate of natural resource management in San Diego in the 1980s, and a few of the battles still being fought today. Don shares a few of C-3's biggest accomplishments that he is most proud of, and what we need to move forward with even more strength and purpose in the future.   Timestamps: [3:14] Don talks about how he got to San Diego, his education, and most importantly, the great surfing that made him fall in love with San Diego. After working for the county, he got a job at SDG&E. [8:47] C-3 was Don's first engagement in policy and land use issues in San Diego. How did he make his way to C-3? [9:02] When working for the Community Action Partnership, Don learned a lot about advocacy on behalf of low-income communities, economic development, and community. [9:24] Don describes the concept of natural resource management, and what the climate was in San Diego around that issue in the 1980s. Why was there tension between natural resource management and development as it relates to the San Diego Bay? [11:19] There is a constant war going on between the side that wants to preserve the environment and the development side. [21:21] One topic of importance at C-3 is the concept of ecotourism. What exactly is the job to get “heads in beds,” and why does cultivating a healthy tourism market matter? [30:28] Don shares what he thinks are a few of C-3's biggest achievements, including Temporary Paradise and the creation of SANDAG. [37:23] How was the public successfully convinced to support Proposition 70? What were some tactics used to advocate for The California Parks and Wildlife Preservation Act? [41:41] Don discusses what he thinks the next generation of planners and activities will face in San Diego, and how C-3 can provide education and assistance. [43:07] C-3 should be friends with the developers at BIA and friends with the Sierra Club and Environmental Health Coalition. [43:41] An organization of organizations and a network of networks, that's really what you're really trying to get set up. But don't let C-3 get lost in the mix, Don warns.   About C-3 In its 60 years of existence, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) has brought together local thought leaders from planning, design, policy, academia, community development, and more to address our region's distinctive and pressing land use challenges. In founding C-3 almost 60 years ago, architect Lloyd Ruocco's vision was to bring together our region's most creative minds from the arts, sciences, academia, and government to share ideas, learn new perspectives, and build fellowship around the idea of creating livable communities.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org Phil Pryde San Diego Sierra Club San Diego River Improvement Project National Environmental Policy Act California Environmental Quality Act

Angela Stoltzenburg, Director of Community Health at Lincoln Memorial Hospital, has done something about that. Through a collaborative effort, school cafeterias now create healthy meals from scratch! Not only are students learning about healthy eating habits, but they also see what healthy eating looks like.

RadioRotary interviews Pari Farood, Executive Director of Miles of Hope, an organization that provides aid and comfort to breast-cancer sufferers throughout the nine counties of the Hudson Valley. Miles of Hope was founded in 2004 by Dana Effron and Cathy Varunok who had already devoted themselves to raising money for the fight against breast cancer but recognized that there needed to be a more local organization. The name originates with the annual fall Breast Cancer Walk at James Baird State Park in Dutchess Country, but there are additional fundraising events throughout the year. With the money it raises, Miles of Hope provides many services to improve the lives of persons with breast cancer ranging from help paying bills and for associated medical services to college scholarships for students whose lives have been affected by the breast cancer of a relative or friend. An important service is the peer-to-peer hotline (800-532-4290) where those affected by breast cancer can exchange information on how to deal with the problems that arise.
