With unemployment in the area still hovering in the double digits and
numerous families dealing with layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts, it’s
clear that food insecurity remains a major issue for many families. In
order to help restock the shelves of local food banks, the volunteer
Community Action Network, or CAN, is gearing up for its second annual
countywide food drive.
The effort will take place Nov. 7 in conjunction with local Scouts’
annual door-to-door Scouting for Food event. Combined, CAN and Scouting
for Food hope to collect enough food to make sure food banks can
sustain those in need for some time.

The word is spreading quickly among downtown businesses that the annual Main Street meeting is fast approaching. Oct. 29 is the big event, hosted by Mount Emily Alehouse.
While this meeting is especially important to the business community, it is also a time that the community as a whole can show their support for our new Main Street program. Everyone is invited to be a member of La Grande Main Street.

“This is for the pain,” the kindly pharmacist said.
“The pain?” I replied.
Had I looked in pain when I visited the doctor? It’s possible.
People in my family tend to look in pain most of the time, which can be awkward, especially on happy occasions.

The anger rises. The fury rages at a new economic order that rules our lives. American capitalism has now been redefined to mean the freedom of the rich to reap enormous rewards if the risks they take do work out and — more importantly — if those risks do not work out, for everybody else to bail out the rich. In the American financial world, we have an economic hybrid: free enterprise for the working majority and socialism for the privileged rich.
