Northern Berkshire Community Coalition

news

Food security was not initially chosen for a topic through the needs assessment, but with many conversations happening within our community around food access, it became apparent to us at the Coalition that it was a great time to discuss what is happen-ing in the northern Berkshires.

The Forum kicked off with Molly Sauvain, Education Coordinator at the Western Mass Food Bank, who provided the community with the following defini-tions: Starvation is when someone is suf-fering because of hunger. Malnutrition is the lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things. Food Insecurity is the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Food Security is the state of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity of af-fordable, nutritious food. Community Food Security is when everyone in a community has equal, abundant access to healthy, af-fordable, sustainably grown and produced foods.

Jen Munoz, coordinator of the Growing Healthy Gardens Program, outlined the decade of work that has been happening in northern Berkshires around the topic of food security. In 2006 the Western Mass Food Bank conducted a random phone sur-vey and discovered that 18% of the commu-

nity faced food insecurity and 11.3% faced hunger, which at the time was higher than state and federal averages. In response to this finding, Target Hunger was established. Target Hunger was a four year program that explored the assets that the community had to address the issue of food insecurity. The group coordinated working groups and developed strategies and actions to address these concerns quickly and sustainably.

In addition to establishing the Target Hunger group, many other strategies were developed such as securing an EBT machine at the Farmer’s Markets, implementing the SNAP X2 program, expanding community gardens, releasing a documentary that was made, and establishing Hoosac Harvest which supported farm gleaning.

Abby Getman, the Planning and Advoca-cy Coordinator of Western MA Food Bank, provided statistics and facts about food secu-rity in the northern Berkshires. Abby used data that was informed by the Census Tract data, information collected from geographic neighborhoods mapped by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The dialogue was then shifted to the larger group where attendees were first asked “What are our current challenges”? Some significant challenges that arose were transportation, the stigma around using food supports, the need for individuals to

value cooking, the expense of healthy and locally grown foods, and support for families and individuals who are just over the line for qualifying for food supports.

Despite the many challenges that north-ern Berkshires face in regards to food security, attendees also had a chance to discuss the many assets the community has as well. From local faith-based take and eat programs, to community gardens, to Com-munity Health Workers, it became quite apparent that our community has a distin-guishable strength in ensuring that residents have plenty of opportunities to prevent food insecurity.

The afternoon closed with a discussion on next steps. Community members brain-stormed ideas of how to strengthen the current food security system. Ideas included establishing mobile farms, encouraging the use of local farms to distribute food through the Western Mass Food Bank and other local organizations, and supporting the expansion of community gardens. It was also mentioned that Berkshire Interfaith Organizing is supporting a bill that would create a common application for SNAP benefits and Mass Health. Many good things are on the horizon to ensure that our community has access to healthy, nutritious food.

nbCC’s May Forum:Looking Upstream: Primary Prevention as a Tool to Address the Opiate EpidemicThe Northern Berkshire Community Coalition will once again gather together to discuss important issues facing its residents at our monthly forum on Friday, May 13th. The May nbCC Community forum will examine the issue of youth substance use in north Berkshire. Come to learn the findings of a comprehensive assessment of youth substance use that began last summer, how it informs what strategies we can implement to support the health and wellness of young people in our region, and hear from Fernando Parfas, Assistant Director for Prevention at the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services, who will speak about DPH sup-port for community efforts to prevent youth substance abuse.

Specific topics to be addressed include:

1. What are the patterns of youth substance use in North Berkshire?2. What are the risk and protective factors that influence the choices made by youth?3. What can we as a community do to promote the health and wellness of our youth by sup-

porting them remaining substance free?4. We will discuss the role of parents, the schools, health care providers, and each and every

community member!

We will begin with a round of introductions, followed by brief announcements of your upcoming events or projects. Bring flyers about your events, there will be a table available for display at the forum. We hope to see you on Friday, May 13, 10 a.m. to noon, at the First Baptist Church in North Adams (Use Eagle Street entrance).

NB Youth Collaborative to Meet in MayThe NBYC will meet on May 12th at the Coalition conference room from 11am to 12:30pm. The group will debrief the forum in March, which tackled parent and youth engagement and wrap up the groups work in that area for the year. We are asking for any-one who has participated at any point in that conversation to join us to talk about next steps and to take inventory of what we’ve learned through this process.

At this meeting we will also be inviting Wendy Penner and Perri Bernstein who are leading the effort in youth substance abuse

prevention here at the Coalition. Wendy and Perri will be explaining to the group their recently identified strategies for prevention, which include supporting youth develop-ment programming in Northern Berkshire. Please join us to discuss how these strategies could help support your programming and better assist the youth workers in the Berk-shires tackle the important issues of youth substance abuse.

Employ North Berkshire Looking for Success Coach!

The pilot program, Employ North Berkshire (ENB), has made progress in its development since February. In March, the North Adams Chamber of Commerce surveyed local businesses to gather their needs regarding new hires. At that same time, Northern Berkshire Neighbors conducted two focus groups with potential participants in order to understand their experiences in achieving and maintaining employment. The information extracted from these sources have been used to inform the creation of the training, which will be the precursor to all program participants being placed into jobs with local businesses.

On April 13th, Northern Berkshire Neighbors, Goodwill Indus-tries of the Berkshires and Berkshire Community College gathered to begin planning the training’s curriculum and schedule. The meet-ing proved very fruitful, as almost everything was determined during it! The week of July 10th, ENB will kick off its 8-week training. Each week will include 3 2-hour sessions; one session each week dedicated to computer and professional writing skills. (See topics below).

In addition to training creation, Northern Berkshire Neighbors is looking to hire a Program Associate, who will, in part, act as a Suc-cess Coach for ENB participants. To view the job description and apply, please visit our website at www.nbccoalition.org. Applications are due on May 4th. For more information on either the Success Coach position or Employ North Berkshire, please contact Annie Rodgers at (413) 663-7588 or via email at [email protected]

Another Great 411 in the 413!Over 80 teens from all over Berkshire County enjoyed a beauti-ful day of workshops, and baby animals, as they roamed around Hancock Shaker Village for the 10th annual 411 in the 413 Youth Conference. The conference featured workshops which revolved around the topics of social justice, the arts, business and technology, and environmental sustainability. The high school teens of Berk-shire County mingled with students from other schools and dove into workshops that were facilitated by professionals, educators, artists, activists, and even state representatives. The group couldn’t have asked for a better day either, with temperatures in the 50’s and sunny all day-long.

Featured at this year’s conference was a unique keynote discus-sion that consisted of a panel of some of our strongest female leaders in Berkshire County, Representative Tricia Farley-Bouvier, Representative Cariddi, and Mayor Tyer of Pittsfield. Their panel discussion gave the young participants an inside look at these women’s role in politics, as well as their personal tips on becom-ing leaders, and how to stay true to their identities. Check out the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition’s Facebook page for some photos of the event.

Clarksburg Breaks New Ground with Complete Street Policy!

ClarksburgisthefirstMassinMotion/BeWellBerkshirescom-munity to adopt a Complete Street policy. This policy demonstrates the importance of safety for all users of the roads in Clarksburg. The Town of Clarksburg envisions a transportation system where all modes, users, and abilities can move safely and efficiently. The purpose of the Clarksburg’s Complete Streets Policy, therefore, is to accommodate all users by creating a roadway network that meets the needs of individuals utilizing a variety of transportation modes, including motorized and non-motorized modes. Current and future road projects, maintenance and repair will take into consideration all users of the road. As stated in iBerkshires, “The board heard from Berkshire Regional Planning Commission’s Emily Lindsey about the state Department of Transportation’s Complete Streets program that provides qualifying communities with funding to improve streets, sidewalks, and intersections to better transportation for all travel modes.”

Board members agreed to adopt the policy and Lindsey said in order to move to the next level, they must make a “wish list” of road projects. Once this is done, they can receive up to $50,000 in techni-cal assistance. If the list is eligible they can receive up to $400,000 for the actual project.

Projects could also be additions to infrastructure such as bike lanes or signage.

McKinney said he would like to focus on connectivity in town and build out from West Cross Road once it is redone because it is the “backbone” of the town and connects to other roads and facili-ties. This is wonderful news for pedestrians that walk and students that bike to school, and will only allow those numbers to grow.

Harm Reduction and Recovery- First Responders Carrying, Using Naloxone (Narcan)In April, North Adams fire and police began carrying Naloxone (Narcan), the opiate overdose reversal drug. When administered intra-nasally, Naloxone unbinds heroin and prescription opiates from the brains opiate receptors. This temporarily reverses the effects of the drug and allows overdose victims to begin breathing again.

Between April 6 and 13, 6 overdoses were reversed by first responders administering Naloxone. We are grateful to our first responders to receiving this training and supporting recovery in our community. Reversing an overdose gives someone an oppor-tunity to receive services to support recovery from a substance use disorder. Unfortunately not every overdose that is reversed will end with recovery, but we know that many people in recovery are alive today after being saved by Narcan. While Narcan does not end addiction, it is an important harm reduction tool as we face a public health epidemic of opioid deaths.

At the May 3 meeting, the Rx Heroin work group will be looking at recovery support services in North Berkshire. nbCC is also working to develop a page on our website about recovery resources. -Wendy Penner

This Just In: Spitzer Center Graduates 14!!Matter of Balance - Fun While Getting Fit!

p The Motta Family celebrates at MOB Graduation.

Shirley Davis u proudly shows

off her Matter of Balance Completion

Certificate!

We just finished up our last Matter of Balance (MOB) class at the Mary Spitzer Center on April 19th, which had fourteen graduates, our largest graduating class thus far in Northern Berkshire County!!! As coaches we witnessed this group make powerful insights about movement, activity, and perspective and how it effects not just the body but the mind and spirit as well. We engaged in constructive conversa-tions about strategies, techniques and resources to bring movement and exercise into our lives, allowing us to stay more active and healthy, and to reduce the potential of an injury from a fall. Of course, always present in our MOB classes was plenty of laughter and fun, the reason that made this classes’ experience so rich. We wanted to capture the momentum our class built over the last eight weeks so we asked participants to describe MOB in their own words and see below what they said about MOB. -Bret Beattie

Age Friendly Berkshires Comes to Interfaith MeetingThe topic of the Friday, May 20, public meeting of the Northern Berkshire Interfaith Action

Initiative (NBIAI) will be the Age Friendly Berkshires program. Celeste Roeller Harp will be our guest presenter. Our meetings are held at the First Baptist Church of North Adams, Eagle Street Room, beginning at 10 a.m. All are welcome.

We will as usual need plenty of volunteers on Saturday, May 14, to help gather, sort and weigh the food collected in the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive. The letter carriers of the North Ad-ams Post Office collect it for the city, Clarksburg and Florida. The Friendship Center leads in the sorting process and we share the results with other programs in our area. If you can help, call the Friendship Center Food Pantry at 413-664-0123 and leave a message or email Mark at [email protected].

We were very pleased that more than 30 people attended our April meeting to further the discussion of food insecurity. Our first monthly meeting since last fall, we followed up the April nbCC forum on food insecurity with a talk of our own on the subject, including recent trends in the number of participants, better coordination and cooperation among food programs, the response to the closing of Price Chopper, the Massachusetts Food Trust and more.

We had representatives present from the Berkshire Food Project, the food pantry at St. Patrick’s in Williamstown, Berkshire Interfaith Organizing, the Berkshire Dream Center, the Letter Carriers Union, New Hope United Methodist Church, Williams College, the Family Center of Child Care of the Berkshires, Adult Basic Ed and several volunteers and board members of the Friendship Center.

We were joined about the half-hour mark by students and teachers of the E-3 alternative educa-tion program of the North Adams Public Schools. They are studying food insecurity and have come up with a cookbook using foods frequently available at the Friendship Center. We have mentioned these cookbooks here before but have not had many to give out; we hope to remedy this soon with the help of the program and offer them to our pantry members in the near future.

The NBIAI is a group of people of different faiths and denominations working together with people of good will to serve our community. For more information, visit http://northernberkshireinterfaith.blogspot.com.-Mark Rondeau
