Learning the Latest Information on Diabetes

October 31, 2014 Leave a comment


Despite daunting data, many cases of diabetes are preventable and controllable.  With the right knowledge and healthful habits, people can significantly reduce their risk. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than26 million people in the United States currently live with diabetes.  If trends continue, the condition will affect more than one-third of Americans by 2050.  We invite you to attend Control Diabetes for Life on Monday November 10 to learn the latest information related to diabetes and refine your healthful habits.

 

Yes, we have come a long way since we first began working in the field of diabetes education. We now know that the complications associated with diabetes can be prevented or delayed. Plus our growing knowledge of various foods and their effect on blood sugar levels enables people with diabetes to eat food they like, choose when and how much to eat and still control blood-sugar levels.

 

It is the best time in history to have diabetes, especially in light of the difficulties our parents and grandparents would encounter had they been diagnosed decades ago. Today people with diabetes can choose from a wide variety of non-nutritive sweeteners and can even figure out how to fit sugar-containing foods into your meal plan. With carbohydrate information now readily available for most foods, diabetics can easily learn to count carbohydrates at each meal. This allows diabetics to fit virtually any food into your meal plan.

 

Fitting diabetes into your life style is the key message today. Diabetes does not have to dictate how you live.  If it has been a year or more since you last participated in a diabetes education session now is the time to make it a priority to updates your knowledge and skills so you can care for yourself and your family.

 

University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension and Franciscan Care Services invite you and your family members to participate in a new and exciting diabetes educational program. The series of programs is being offered via the two-way interactive distance education facilities. Participants will learn about current issues related to diabetes from educators with over 20 years of team-teaching experience with the in-depth Living with Diabetes series.

 

Monday, November 10, is the third of three programs in “Control Diabetes for Life” series. Topics that will be addressed during the two-hour program are:  “The Latest in Diabetes Research”; “Types of Diabetes”; “Carb Counting Refresher focusing on Combination Foods”; and “Making Peace with the Food Cops” along with other helpful hints. Participants will sample a new recipe for a diabetic appropriate food. Team-teaching the program will be Deborah Willcox, R.D. and L.M.N.T., and Stacie Petersen, B.S.N. and Certified Diabetes Educator both of Franciscan Care Services in West Point and Debra Schroeder, UNL Extension Educator in Cuming County.

 

Participants have the opportunity to attend the program on Monday, November 10, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Tekamah Herman high school distance education room.

“Control Diabetes for Life” is a joint project of University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension, Franciscan Care Services of West Point and the schools hosting the presentation. The program is offered free-of-charge. “Control Diabetes for Life” will help participants learn to control diabetes and prolong the onset of complications from the disease. These sessions are designed to supplement the education that you receive from your local diabetes health care team and not a substitute for diabetes classes through your local health care providers.

Participants are asked to pre-register for “Control Your Diabetes for Life” by calling the UNL Extension Office in Burt County at 402-374-2929. Please register by Friday, November 7, so the proper number of handouts may be prepared.  When registering please indicate which location and the time of that session.  Nebraska School Food Service Association has approved this session for two hours of continuing education credits for food service staff for attending.

 

Control your diabetes for life!  Start by attending the November 10 distance education program.  Call today to register!

Doane Announces New Programs With a Three-Year Degree Option

October 31, 2014 Leave a comment


CRETE, Neb. – Last spring, Doane College became the first private liberal arts and sciences college in Nebraska to offer three-year programs in computer science, history and mathematics. Today, Doane announced the addition of biology, chemistry and journalism & media as new options to complete in three years, saving eligible undergraduates money on the cost of their degree and giving them an extra year of earning power through the college’s Three-Year Graduation Program.

 

Students must apply for the three-year degree program, and eligibility and acceptance are based on high school grade point average, ACT/SAT scores and credits earned prior to enrollment.

 

For those committed students who fit this option, faculty have created intensive academic plans with a three-year course schedule. It can save students thousands of dollars by replacing the cost of an extra year of college with an extra year of income or getting students that much closer to graduate or professional school.

 

“If you want more bang for your buck, this is the way to do it,” said Andrea Holmes, chemistry professor at Doane. “College education is brutal in terms of price. I hope students will take the opportunity and embrace that it’s a nontraditional way of getting a college degree.”

 

Degree programs have not been modified or reduced in any way. Instead, Doane has thought progressively about how students can meet requirements at a faster pace. Students will take classes in fall, spring and summer depending on the program and the number of credits students transfer.

 

More and more high school students are taking college-level courses. According to a 2014 Advanced Placement report by CollegeBoard, more than 1 million public high school students nationwide took at least one AP exam in 2013. Doane’s Three-Year Graduation Program recognizes these students and provide them an opportunity to continue their education at an accelerated pace into college.

 

Students with majors in mind outside of the six offered in this plan won’t necessarily miss out. Depending on courses transferred in, students may work closely with an academic advisor to create an approved plan to graduate in three years. In fact, eight Doane students have already successfully graduated in under four years without an official program in place.

 

About Doane College – Doane is the oldest private liberal arts and sciences college in Nebraska. Doane has campuses in Crete, Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha, and is consistently ranked among the top colleges and universities in the Midwest by Forbes.com, Money.com, The Princeton Review and U.S.News & World Report among others. Doane was named by The Chronicle of Higher Education as “A Great College to Work For” in 2013 and 2014.

Nebraska Deserves a Raise

October 28, 2014 Leave a comment


By John Crabtree, johnc@cfra.org, Center for Rural Affairs

At Nebraska’s current minimum wage, $7.25, which is also the federal minimum wage, a minimum wage worker putting in a full 40 hours per week for 52 weeks would earn $14,500 annually – an amount below the federal poverty line for families of two or more.

 

In 2012, 32,000 hourly workers in Nebraska earned the minimum wage, giving Nebraska the second highest percentage of workers earning at or below minimum wage compared to surrounding states. Had Nebraska’s minimum wage kept pace with inflation over the last 4 decades it would now be $10.56 per hour and full-time minimum wage workers would now earn $21,120 annually, not $14,500.

 

Moreover, increasingly minimum wage workers are adults and the major wage earners in families. Currently, 88 percent of America’s minimum wage workers are over the age of 20. Minimum wage workers are our friends, neighbors and family members. And they deserve a raise.
On Tuesday, November 4th, Nebraskans will cast the final votes in the 2014 election. The board and staff of the Center for Rural Affairs urge all Nebraskans, urban and rural alike, to cast their votes in favor of I-425, Nebraska ballot initiative to raise the state’s minimum wage. I urge you to remember the faces of friends and neighbors around you who work for minimum wage, and cast your vote in favor of giving them the raise that they deserve.

Nebraska Farm to School Summit Held

October 27, 2014 Leave a comment


Lyons, NE – Over 100 people from across Nebraska attended the Center for Rural Affairs’ second annual Nebraska Farm to School Summit on Wednesday, October 22, at the Leadership Center in Aurora, Nebraska. The summit was for farmers, ranchers, school food service staff, parents, students, and community members interested in Farm to School programs.
“Summit attendees gathered to hear success stories, learn best practices, and most importantly
connect with each other. This effort will grow opportunities for Nebraska food producers,
and healthy, delicious food options for our Nebraska students.”
Sarah Smith, Center for Rural Affairs
State Senator Richard L. Kolowski (District 31 – Millard, Elkhorn) kicked off the summit with the opening keynote address, “Statewide Action to Support Farm to School,” discussing how the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of local food in Nebraska can be improved. Kolowski, an educator for over 40 years, introduced a 2014 resolution, LR 545, for the purpose of studying statewide efforts to improve Nebraska’s access to local food supply and distribution networks.
In breakout sessions farm to school stakeholders heard from school and farmer panelists, and took advantage of question/answer sessions. A lightening round of presentations highlighted successful farm to school relationships, growing practices, policy development, and processing options.
Among the attendees were Robert and Kristine Bernt of Clear Creek Organic Farms (http://clearcreekorganicfarms.webs.com/). Along with their 12 children, they operate a certified organic farm and ranch raising organic vegetables, meat, and dairy cows; processing butter, cheese and ice cream on their farm near Spalding. The Bernts came to the summit because they are passionate about healthy foods and are interested in supplying food to schools through farm to school programs.
“I gained new knowledge and assurance that the good food I can provide to schools
is the right thing to do for our kids from a health and nutrition perspective,” said Robert Bernt.
“We have an issue with the food our children eat at school,” continued Bernt. “They’re not getting the nutrients they need. Their health is getting worse and worse. If we get our foot in the door here at this summit we can start selling healthy, nutritious, nutrient-dense foods to the schools so kids get local produce – whether it’s once a week or even once a month.”
Bernt believes health issues in children – such as the 1 in 3 Nebraska children that are overweight – and lack of nutritious food served at most schools could be solved with farm to school programs. “Once these kids taste food that’s allowed to ripen on the vine and not in a box, is prepared properly, and has the flavor they are gonna like, they start eating more food that helps improve their health.”
According to Elisha Smith of the Center for Rural Affairs, at the close of the summit, Bernt had three serious inquiries from schools to follow up with after the summit.
“The path to farm to school may seem long and complex, but it doesn’t have to be,” added Smith. “Some of the school food service personnel and students we heard from at the summit said they ‘just went for it’ when starting a farm to school program. And just like a garden, once you plant the farm to school seed it will grow.”
Photographs of the Farm to School Summit are available at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cfra/sets/72157648821350376/.
This summit was timely as October is National Farm to School month. Governor Dave Heineman also recently proclaimed October as Nebraska Farm to School month, recognizing the growing importance and role of Nebraska Farm to School programs as a means to improve child nutrition, support local farming and ranching economies, spur job growth and educate children about agriculture and the origins of their food.
For more information on farm to school, visit http://www.cfra.org/farm-to-school or contact Sarah Smith atsarahs@cfra.org  or (307) 321-9766.
The Summit was funded by the USDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, administered by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.
