City to reduce fee assistance for recreation programs

In yet another sign of the times, the city has seen a notable increase in the demand for scholarship funds to access recreation programming.

Through its Passport to Fun program, individuals with economic need can access up to $150 a year in funds to help pay for recreation programming. In 2007, participants redeemed a total of $4,545 through the program. In 2008, after the Community Center expansion, that number went up to $7,076; then $11,185 in 2009. To keep up with the pace of demand, the city will be reducing the amount available to individual participants from $150 to $100.

Spiritually Speaking: There is immense power in stillness

By Bernard E. Johnson

Hannah Whitall Smith, a 19th century spiritual writer and speaker, said so many things I need to remember. Here is something that speaks to me on a day when I have been way too busy and over committed.

A quiet spirit is of inestimable value in carrying on outward activities; and nothing so hinders the working of the hidden spiritual forces, upon which, after all, our success in everything really depends, as a spirit of unrest and anxiety.
