Rising food prices continue to hurt poor nations
Khurshid Ahmad
March 25, 2011
The rising trend of food prices world wide is not likely to stop in near future and would continue to hurt poor economies. Technological advances and increased acreage devoted to food production may help ease pressures on food markets, but that will take time. In the meantime, the world may have to adjust to higher food prices, say economists of IMF.
Steady rises in the price of food since 2000 seem to be a trend and not just the result of temporary conditions, while factors like bad weather are temporary. The main causes underlying the structural change in global food markets will not be reversed, according to IMF economists, Thomas Helbling and Shaun Roache.
The IMF's food price index which tracks the spot prices of 22 most internationally traded agricultural food items is now close to the spike previously reached in June 2008.
Many countries are struggling with the implications of high food prices, which exacerbate poverty, inflation, and for importing countries balance of payments. The implications are far reaching. The recent social unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, some say, is in response to high bread prices.
When food prices go up, it touches everyone, but the poor are hit especially hard because food makes up a much larger share of their total expenditures. They have little room to buy cheaper food items or to spend less on other purchases. World Bank research shows that 1.1 billion people were living on less than $1 a day and 923 million were undernourished, even before the food, fuel and financial crises.
Floods, droughts, and wildfires around the world have reduced harvests and pushed prices up. But it's not just bad news that's causing the increase. As people get richer, they eat more high-protein foods like meat, dairy products, edible oils, fruits and vegetables, and seafood, and less staple grains. This increases demand for land and for crops that are used to feed animals, and that pushes up the price of staple grains as well.
Another factor leading to food price increases has been the recent boom in biofuels. High oil prices, combined with government support for the production of biofuels, have boosted demand for agricultural crops from which biofuels are produced, such as corn, sugar, palm kernels, and rapeseed. Prices have risen as a result, the IMF economists observed, adding that high oil prices also have a direct impact on the cost of producing food. Fuel, including natural gas, is used to produce fertilizers, and also in all stages of agricultural production, from sowing to harvesting to distribution.
The increased demand for agricultural commodities is not likely to be matched by an increase in production, at least not any time soon. Growth in the yield of a hectare of land has stagnated, and it's hard to find more land to devote to food production.
The surge in international food prices has already caused consumer price inflation in many economies in early 2011. Such direct "first-round" effects are part of the normal pass through of prices, and will fade with time. But if people expect food prices to continue to go up, they begin to demand higher wages, and this leads to "second-round" effects, an increase in core inflation, say Helbling and Roache, adding that the risk of core inflation rising is slim for advanced economies, but significant for emerging and developing countries. In the latter group, food is more important a budget item and confidence in monetary policy is lower, which means higher wage demands and expectations of further inflation.
On the other hand, World Bank also noted that the food prices remain volatile. Local food prices in many countries haven't come down, although international food prices have fallen. In third world countries such as Pakistan, the issue of mismanagement dominates the food business chain. Because of lack of saner planning, the prices of essential commodities are continuously rising, pushing more people below poverty line.

Hub Dock, cool idea.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486 ... f=category
this would be nice for changing tyres, great idea..
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Nice idea that seems to work well. But I reckon their video is grossly overplaying the 'difficulty' of removing a standard QR road wheel. In the time it takes him to unwind that QR I would have had the back wheel out. And dirty hands ?? You're not doing it right man.

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Interesting, but that's about it for me at this stage
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Wonder how it goes with MTB loads.

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
just wondering how it handles different width hubs. some of my wheels don't sit in the same spots between the dropout
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Handy if you need to replace a drive side spoke, no cassette to take off.
They will require 2 versions for road & mtb unless road changes to 135mm widths
How easy will it be remove the cassette tho if that needs removing for any reason

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
If I read the video right, there's no full width axle between the dropouts, not sure how I feel about that...
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
I don't think my 122kgs would be nice to that
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Yes, I think the QR they use threads into a separate stub axle that is fixed to the right drop-out and supports the cassette. This is then tensioned by the QR..... strength ??

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Pretty much my concerns. I really wonder about the load bearing capacity and ability to handle some abuse, eg hard drops on MTBs

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Not a new idea either, SACHS and several earlier manufacturers made rear hubs like this. I have a six-speed SACHS in one of my Paino's
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Ah, yes. Like this one - the Sachs Galaxie ?
Not so sure that it would dismantle while still fixed in the frame

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Ideas a good so having a go needs to be commended - would be boring without.
With the help of the example sachs image from il padrone, I am not sure that that lack of the through axel is really as serious as suggested.
What the video and description does not do well is to show the actual connection, though the wheel doesn't slip out, as romantic as the notion seems, there is still some kind of insert of the hub part into the freewheel part... the wheel needs to be pulled left (releasing) and then pulled out.
For MTB I can however understand that a single through axel makes sense.
The advantages of the system are a bit over the top considering how "bad" standard wheel removal is. On my MTB I need to turn the skewer a lot on the front wheel to remove it from the forks... the turning, turning, turning is not that much different... but agree that this system keeps it all a bit cleaner.

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Yup, sure will! Once you pull the 'Q/R' axle from the l/h side there is a spacer on the left of the hub which drops out allowing you to move the wheel to the left, disengage the hub from the freewheel and thus remove the wheel. Works pretty good on the road but building wheels on these hubs is a pain due to the weird axle fittings. I had to turn up a 'dummy axle' fitting for my wheel building jig when I built up the wheel using this hub.
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Are those exposed bearings in the cassette/freehub?
Looks like there would be a look of risk of getting dirt in there, especially if you accidentally put the wheel down on the wrong side.
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
Only if you have very poor standards of workmanship. Before I do any work on my bike, I always always always vacuum the lounge room carpet.

Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
There are many rear hubs now available where the freehub can be removed with virtually a quick twist of the hands once the skewer is removed. So the issue of dust sealing between the hub and free hub is not much of a drama.
Axle strength is a non issue too as long as the right materials are used. 15mm QR front axles in MTB are common enough, made of hollow aluminum tube and they screw into a fitting on one side of the fork. Don't hear much about those breaking. As long as the stub axle of this product is appropriately torqued once fitted up is should be a strong as any other through axle. Potentially even stronger given the axle dimensions required.
While I agree its probably a solution to a problem that isn't perceived to exist for most riders...if it works then it's actually quite clever. Changing a flat on the new breed of bolted rear axle MTBs could actually be not a pain in the bum. But also most other average treadlies out there. It might might make the perception of cycling far more acceptable to a wider cross section of the community instead of a small sub-culture of smugly self righteous nutter like ourselves. Oh the horror.
Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
Re: Hub Dock, cool idea.
I have a deore hub with a 5mm steel trek threaded QR that threads into a mounted boss on the dropout. The QR survived some riding with a broken axle - and the shimano hub itself doesn't collapse if the axle breaks. The axle makes a lot of noise (hindsight) before it breaks, and (hindsight) the resistance increases considerably once broken. ie I find the shimano system safety tolerant to broken axles.
That has a 10mm steel QR that clamps it all together - ie the joint can be under significantly greater clamping force than my rear hubs QR can provide. ie the concern that the joint might fret and collapse or the hollow axle break and the joint collapse probably isn't a strong one - the axle/QR combo should be very strong. I do wonder about the short lever on the QR though.
There is the odd claims that he makes that I distrust. He claims the axle of a standard hub does not penetrate the dropout and that I rely on the QR, which is wrong - the axle ends penetrate the dropout - the QR is there to hold the drop out on the axle end. His claims of light weight are pretty laughable. Its 25g lighter than my entry level disc MTB hub with disc mounting boss that is also wider, and its much heavier than an ultegra or dura ace rear hub.

|Sheri Gillis playing the part of Lettie is fitted for the maid uniform by Dr. Corey Ewan, costume designer of the production.
We walk into the dim-lit theatre on opening night, planning to enjoy an evening of drama produced by the local college theatre group. As the curtain rises we see the beautiful designed stage and as the plot unfolds actors and actresses, dressed in perfectly matched era costumes perform for the large audience. But do you ever think of how the stage was designed? Do you ever give it a second thought about designing the sets, creating the costumes and the hours of practice each actor must put into his or her role?
Often newspapers give an overview of the play, even stage a few photos of the production, complete with costumes and a perfect set, and announce the opening night. This was done for "Something's Afoot," which is a zany, entertaining musical that takes a satirical poke at Agatha Christie mysteries and musical styles of former years. The comedy, presented by the College of Eastern Utah Theatre Department, will be the final production of the season. It opens tonight, April 15 and runs Friday and Saturday night of this week and again April 19 and 20, all at the Geary Theatre.
However, rather than the typical story about the setting and the characters I began attending the play practice shortly after the roles were cast and just when construction of the set began. For the past six weeks I have taken occasional photos and watched the stage grow from a few walls and doors to a magnificent set. Today the stage takes you to a country estate of Lord Dudley Rancour, located on an island in the middle of a lake, somewhere in the English lake district. As the stage opens tonight you will see the entrance hall to Rancour's Retreat, not like any entrance hall one has ever seen. I have seen the room grow from a stack of lumber to a large, two-story room with doorways and hallways leading to the library, the study, the kitchen, and the servants' quarter. I know what's behind the set and in this case under it and above it. I watched as Tim North, the technical director built the large door leading to the outside. I was there as Grady McEvoy, director and Angela Kay Roundy, stage manager, discussed with North the essentials in the furniture, props and architecture that are included in the play.
The rehearsals were intense and deadlines for play practice popped up every week. I watched the characters learn their lines and practice their songs.
Not having directed a play since 1994, McEvoy thought it was time again to put his hand in the pot and stir it a bit. "Something's Afoot has been one of my favorite productions since I played Dr. Grayburn at Utah State University's Old Lyric Repertory in 1980." he says, adding, "This being my fourth production of Afoot, I find myself trying to create a new stick, along with keeping my favorite old stick from the past."
"The performers you will see are a very mixed bag of old hands and new hearts, top CEU's performance world, a blend that gives this production its fun, unpredictable and sharp edge. I hope you enjoy the show's British tongue in cheek humor," adds McEvoy.
The group began rehearsals four and half weeks ago, which is short of the normal time it usually takes to put a musical together. Chorographer Lynda Johnston, pianist Jennifer Chiara and music director Russell Wilson have all spent long hours working with the actors and actresses for the full musical. "There is as many lines sung as spoken," explains McEvoy.
There are also a good number of costumes, all depicting the late 1930's era, although many costumes look like the 1970's, especially those worn by the men. Dr. Corey Ewan designed the costumes and explained that for this murder mystery musical, the characters are stereotypical and therefore they wear a combination of travel wear, dinner wear and period clothing.
|Amy Rasmussen and Phil Smith practicing their lines.
The process of pulling together the costumes, getting them as close to accurate as possible is always a challenging job and come from many sources. The butler's tail coat for example comes from the production department at Brigham Young University, while the maid's apron was sewn by Ewan to match the black and white uniform. "Because it's a comedy or spoof the costumes can be a little comical," explains Ewan.
The set design is a combination of the old, new, borrowed and salvaged. The ottoman, giant vase and chandelier are all new, but the doors and walls, desk and fireplace are all reused from previous productions. "We couldn't afford to produce the plays if we had to start over each time." explains North, saying that almost everything is recycled at one time or another.
The cast includes Jacob Dickey, Melissa Trowbridge, Sam McGinnis, and Amy Rasmussen, all of Price; Sheri Gillies, Layton; Jarad Crown, Salt Lake; David Bohnet, Orem; Alexis Cline, West Jordan; Phil Smith, Magna; Lorin Bruns, Tooele; and Diana Halford, Farmington. The production is stage managed by Angie Roundy.
Other behind the scenes names include Diana Halford, Kennedy Byrd, Todd Olsen, Sam McGinnis, Sam Bailey, David Shamo, Robert Chesley, Sam Brown and the CEU Cosmetology department.
"Something's Afoot" tells the story of 10 people who are stranded in an isolated English country house during a raging thunderstorm. One by one they're picked off by cleverly fiendish devices. As the bodies pile up in the library, the survivors frantically race to uncover the identity and motivation of the cunning culprit.
And just when everything was coming together, Phil Smith, who had prepared throughout the entire rehearsals to play the part of Colonel Gillweather, had an appendicitis attack and McEvoy, the director, is learning the lines. Such is life in show business, "Because the show must go on!"
The play opens tonight and reservations for the shows are available by calling 613-5334.

(NBC) - There has been a big increase in the number of knee replacement surgeries in the past two decades, and the public is paying for much of it.
New research finds the number of total knee replacements has shot up in the past 20 years, mainly because of an aging but active population.
Dr. Brian Wolf and colleagues at the University of Iowa found the number of total knee replacements among Medicare patients went from 93,000 in 1991 to more than 240,000 in 2010.
That's an increase of 161 percent.
The study only looked at Medicare patients, and because knee replacement surgeries are also performed on those younger than age 65 -- when Medicare kicks in -- many experts say the numbers are actually quite higher.
"The numbers in the study, while impressive, really only represent a small portion of what we're actually going to be seeing down the road in terms of these procedures," says Dr. James Slover of New York University's Langone Medical Center.
With an increase in surgeries comes an increase in costs.
Medicare covers the majority of expenses related to total knee replacements.
"This is part of the overall baby boomer dilemma that medicine is facing not only with knee replacements but with a lot of medical issues that are going to be coming forward over the next 20 years," Dr. Wolf explains.
But 20 years is often the absolute maximum life span of a knee replacement, raising the likelihood many patients will need additional surgeries.
The study also found an increase in hospital readmission rates among patients.
A total knee replacement costs an average of $15,000.

July Bee Blocks
17 comments:
Love the colours in the asterisk blocks!ReplyDelete
And I agree about Kaffe fabrics, they don't fit all projects but sometimes you need a bit of extra zing!
They are both wonderful! However, you do know that I have a fondness for Kaffe and his fabric looks especially wonderful in these geese.ReplyDelete
I really like the Kaffe used with the white to give a nice contrast AND a resting place for the eye. Those are lovely.ReplyDelete
I love the geese!ReplyDelete
I agree that the Kaffe works great in those flying geese. I'm sure Ryan with love his blocks, too - I wouldn't have thought of that color combination on my own, but I really like it!ReplyDelete
Those are all gorgeous blocks, very colorful and fun!ReplyDelete
I really love that red colorway with the turquoise triangles! I have that green triangles one that I picked up from my LQS. I honestly don't know much about the Kaffe collective so maybe Kaffe did design it, but my selvage says Brandon Mably tents.ReplyDelete
Kaffe is one of my favourites and those flying geese blocks look superb. Wish I was in your swap. :)ReplyDelete
Those flying geese blocks rock!ReplyDelete
All three blocks look great.ReplyDelete
I really love those flying geese squares with the Kaffe fabric...gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Beautiful. Brilliant use of Kaffe fabrics with the flying geese design.ReplyDelete
great blocks! i'm still so behind on my bee blocks!!ReplyDelete
I was very glad to see what you have done with these fabrics. I have a group of aqua/turquoise and red fabrics to work with. I like those red and aqua dots! Seeing your blocks gave me hope that I would like to find the right project on which to work with them.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing
All of the blocks are great. Kaffe fabrics are incredible and add zip and zing to most projects.ReplyDelete
i am loving the red and aqua blocks. very nice!ReplyDelete
Pardon my interruption, but I am looking for folks that have either "Retro Sewing Blogs" or "Nostalgia Blogs" for an article I am working on . Please send your suggestions to me at email@example.com THANKSReplyDelete

Dermalogica and the International Dermal Institute Dedicate Support Initiatives to the Boston Community
In response to the recent terrorist bombings in Boston, Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute have committed resources to the survivors and the Boston community at large via several initiatives taking place during the month of May.
Proceeds from class fees and those for select treatments will go directly to One Fund Boston. This emergency aid organization, created by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino, aims to directly support victims and families affected by the bombing, help pay medical and rehabilitation bills, and support the families of those who lost their lives.
Between May 13th and 24th, all 17 locations representing The International Dermal Institute (IDI) across the USA will donate 100% of IDI class fees to the cause. In addition, all four Dermalogica concept spaces—with locations in Santa Monica, CA; SoHo, NYC; Scottsdale, AZ and Dermalogica Academy in Chelsea, NYC—will donate 100% of all proceeds from MicroZone treatments performed on Saturday, May 11th.
Founder and chief visionary of the brand Jane Wurwand comments, "The bombs went off right outside our original International Dermal Institute on Boylston Street. We have had strong ties to the Boston community for over 10 years and many of us have lived, worked and taught there. That story could have been our story. It is an ongoing nightmare that too many victims and families will be living for the rest of their lives as they try to recover and heal. We all make that journey with them as Boston shows once again that they are patriots, survivors and strong."
George W. Schaeffer Lobby Opens Within Cedars-Sinai's New Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion
On the evening of April 23, George Schaeffer, founder of OPI Products and CEO of Aloxxi International, celebrated the opening of Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion. As a thank-you for Schaeffer's generous donations to the hospital, which helped to fund the new pavilion's 2011 construction, the hospital has named the new center's lobby after the beauty industry philanthropist.
Approximately 1,900 patients, guests and staff will pass through the George W. Schaeffer Lobby on the plaza level of the Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion each day. The 11-story, 440,000-square-foot facility offers convenient, state-of-the-art outpatient care and houses Cedars-Sinai's nationally renowned Heart Institute and Neurosciences Department, all within one healing, eco-friendly building, prominently located on the corner of San Vicente Boulevard and Gracie Allen Drive in Beverly Hills.
"This visionary gift from George Schaeffer demonstrates forward-thinking philanthropy," said Arthur J. Ochoa, senior vice president for community relations and development. "It provides critical support for novel ideas that foster advanced medical care."
"Cedars-Sinai is my neighborhood hospital of choice, and the great doctors and staff have provided wonderful care for me and my family; this is my way of saying thank you," said Schaeffer, who attended the black-tie opening with his wife Irina. "This building will open a new gateway to the Medical Center and bring patients and research together under one roof in a way that is exciting to the hospital and beneficial to patients near and far. I am convinced of the promise of Cedars-Sinai as a leading force in medicine, and it was a privilege to express my faith in the future through this gift."
Jurlique Alerts the Media
The Jurlique U.S. management team hosted a media event at a gallery space in New York City in April to announce the launch of the new and evolved Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum. An update of the cult-favorite formula first introduced 20 years ago, the new serum will be available for retail in spas beginning in August.
Jurlique, known for its natural and organic heritage, creates products from the potent natural ingredients grown and harvested on their certified biodynamic farm in South Australia. The new formula contains 18 different botanical and natural ingredients to protect and revitalize the skin.
The beauty editors and bloggers who attended the event were greeted by a huge table covered with flowers, plants and Jurlique products, and the gallery walls showed a rotating slide show of amazing plant and flower montages from the company's Australian farm. The evening featured presentations by the management team, fruity and healthy cocktails and mocktails, spring hors d'oeuvres, and a mixing bar at which attendees could select a fragrance and customize their own body oil. The packed room attested to the continued enthusiasm for natural and botanical-based products and services for the spa industry. —Lisa Starr

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is designed to examine whether treating Devic's disease patients with high dose cyclophosphamide together with rATG/rituximab (drugs which reduce the function of the immune system), followed by return of previously collected patient's stem cells will result in improvement in Devic's disease. Stem cells are undeveloped cells that have the capacity to grow into mature blood cells, which normally circulate in the blood stream. The purpose of the intense chemotherapy is to destroy the cells in patient's immune system, which may be causing his/her disease. The purpose of the stem cell infusion is to produce a normal immune system that will no longer attack patient's body. The purpose of study is to examine the safety and efficacy of this treatment. The drugs used in this study treatment are drugs for commonly used for immune suppression.

42 U.S. Code § 6985 - Special study and demonstration projects on recovery of useful energy and materials
(a) Studies
The Administrator shall conduct studies and develop recommendations for administrative or legislative action on—
(1) means of recovering materials and energy from solid waste, recommended uses of such materials and energy for national or international welfare, including identification of potential markets for such recovered resources, the impact of distribution of such resources on existing markets, and potentials for energy conservation through resource conservation and resource recovery;
(2) actions to reduce waste generation which have been taken voluntarily or in response to governmental action, and those which practically could be taken in the future, and the economic, social, and environmental consequences of such actions;
(3) methods of collection, separation, and containerization which will encourage efficient utilization of facilities and contribute to more effective programs of reduction, reuse, or disposal of wastes;
(5) recommended incentives (including Federal grants, loans, and other assistance) and disincentives to accelerate the reclamation or recycling of materials from solid wastes, with special emphasis on motor vehicle hulks;
(6) the effect of existing public policies, including subsidies and economic incentives and disincentives, percentage depletion allowances, capital gains treatment and other tax incentives and disincentives, upon the recycling and reuse of materials, and the likely effect of the modification or elimination of such incentives and disincentives upon the reuse, recycling and conservation of such materials;
(7) the necessity and method of imposing disposal or other charges on packaging, containers, vehicles, and other manufactured goods, which charges would reflect the cost of final disposal, the value of recoverable components of the item, and any social costs associated with nonrecycling or uncontrolled disposal of such items; and
(8) the legal constraints and institutional barriers to the acquisition of land needed for solid waste management, including land for facilities and disposal sites;
(9) in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, agricultural waste management problems and practices, the extent of reuse and recovery of resources in such wastes, the prospects for improvement, Federal, State, and local regulations governing such practices, and the economic, social, and environmental consequences of such practices; and
(b) Demonstration
The Administrator is also authorized to carry out demonstration projects to test and demonstrate methods and techniques developed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.
Source(Pub. L. 89–272, title II, § 8005, as added Pub. L. 94–580, § 2,Oct. 21, 1976, 90 Stat. 2837.)
Prior Provisions

MASSENA - Massena Central School officials plan to use $3.5 million from their fund balance, leaving them with $200,000 in cuts that will need to be made to their 2014-15 budget proposal.
Prior to Thursday nights Finance Committee meeting and board of education session, district administrators had met to discuss various scenarios, including one in which all their requests were filled, one that would use $3.7 million of the fund balance to maintain the status quo, and three that would involve cuts while using $3.5 million, $3 million or $2 million from the fund balance.
Using $3 million of fund balance, they would need to make $700,000 in cuts, while using $2 million would mean $1.7 million in cuts, according to Interim Superintendent William H. Flynn.
The goal is to leave here with an idea of where wed like to be, Finance Committee Chairman Loren Fountaine said.
Before their discussions, Business Manager Nickolas Brouillette outlined where they currently were with revenues and expenditures. He said they will receive $635,000 more than what Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had proposed in January. Their Gap Elimination Adjustment is down by $803,000 and their foundation aid increased by $454,000, he said. Expense-based aid, such as BOCES, is up by $380,000, but building aid went down by $57,000.
Its a total increase over last years budget of $1.58 million, Mr. Brouillette said. I would caution against using all of that. State aid is quite volatile. Some of the aid numbers right now are based on assumptions and various inputs.
He said that, at the end of the 2012-13 school year, the district had $22.4 million in reserves, which included $16.2 million that could be used only for designated purposes and $10 million in a restricted Employee Benefits Accrued Liability Reserve (EBALR) fund.
The reserves have declined the past couple of years. The EBALR is getting tougher to access as the Gap Elimination Adjustment is declining, Mr. Brouillette said, noting they could only use $344,000 from their EBALR fund in next years spending plan.
Were in a position where weve got $10 million sitting there and we cant use the money. Its ridiculous, Mr. Fountaine said.
Without any cuts to the districts budget, the fund balance would disappear in 2015-16, Mr. Brouillette said, and they would have used all of their EBALR funding - if it was even available - in 2016-17. Their fund balance would be in the negatives in 2017-18.
Property taxes wont make up the difference he said. The district has a 1.64 percent property tax cap, which would yield $225,000. A 1 percent increase equals about $138,000.
All together, he said, the districts revenue budget is $45.5 million while their expense budget is $49.3 million, leaving a $3.7 million gap.
How to close that, beyond what the fund balance would cover, was the subject of Thursdays discussions. Without any action, Mr. Brouillette said, it would mean a 7.3 percent increase in the tax levy, the reduction of 11 teachers or the reduction of nine administrators.
At this point, the big question mark is where do we go from here? Mr. Flynn said, noting the scenario using $2 million of fund balance would mean extremely deep cuts.
Mr. Fountaine said he was comfortable using $3.5 million from the fund balance.
I feel comfortable there because Im hopeful that putting our minds together we can come up with ways that wont affect the children as much, he said.
There was discussion about some cuts such as equipment under that scenario, but Mr. Fountaine said he wasnt comfortable releasing all of the suggested cuts until they had been finalized because some involved personnel. He said the information would likely be available next week.
I didnt want to put it out in public because positions could be cut. These were ideas. Now, with the administration, were going to make sure its going to go, he said.
His stance was opposed by board member Kevin F. Perretta, who thought details should be released.
I was going to ask that this document be put on the (districts) website, he said.
Resident Paul A. Haggett, who announced during the meeting that he would be seeking a board seat in May, said the consensus among those in the audience was also that details should be released so community members would know what the district was facing.
The consensus of the public is that a cut list would have been nice to have. I understand its a working document. Providing that sort of information to the public, I think, is a good idea in general, Mr. Haggett said.
One topic of discussion was the districts junior kindergarten program, which serves as a bridge for some students between pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. Evelyn M. Fiske, the districts director of curriculum, instruction and assessment, said it was an important program for some students.
There is value to the program. Kindergarten is extremely academic now with the Common Core. By giving children the gift of time who are not developmentally ready for kindergarten, you raise the bar as far as whos in the classroom ready to learn. Junior kindergarten does provide an opportunity to front load success for students, she said.
Cutting the program would only be a net loss of two teachers, Ms. Fiske said, but it would place more pressure on kindergarten teachers who would be trying to teach some students who werent developmentally ready.
Those are the formative years. We saw a nice decrease in retentions at the first and second (grades) with the implementation of junior kindergarten. The program does play a role, Jefferson Elementary Principal Duane Richards said.
Mr. Fountaine agreed, noting that some scholars have said studies indicate children who arent kindergarten-ready will never catch up.
Not everyone exposed to pre-kindergarten ends up in junior kindergarten. Very often they go right on to kindergarten. This really gives them a developmental year, Mr. Flynn said.
Another discussion centered around special education costs, but Susan Lambert, the districts Committee on Special Education chairperson said any changes might not save money. In fact, she said, they had a model that they wanted to try, but have not because it would not provide any cost savings.
Board member Patrick Bronchetti wondered if they could open up the high schools International Baccalaureate program to other schools through distance learning and charge those districts a fee for their students to use the service.
Board member Lorie MacKenzie agreed, noting other schools were in more dire situations, with some even looking at cutting Advanced Placement courses.
High school Princpal Patrick Farrand said, with distance learning, it was something they could explore with the approval of IB officials.
I dont see why we couldnt as long as they complied with the IB standards, he said.
Board member Patrick Serguson wondered if they had considered energy-savings initiatives that would also save some money. But Director of Operations William Seguin said, based on a study they had done five years ago with the New York Power Authority, it would not have saved money because of the low cost of power in Massena.
One of the areas they examined was high-efficiency pumps.
Because utility costs are so low with electric, it was not feasible to get high-energy pumps. There was no return for the money, Mr. Seguin said.
He also pointed out that all the districts utilities represent a miniscule portion - 2 percent - of the districts budget.
Now that the board has decided how much fund balance to use in the budget, administrators will be working together to whittle down the $200,000 deficit. The board will be asked to approve the budget on April 24, with a budget hearing on May 13 and the budget vote on May 20.
