By Nebemiah RolleOtherWords columnistThe Farm Bill s recent defeat in the House of Representatives opens up a second chance to get food policy right including the food aid we give struggling individuals and families. A Michigan and Ohio program could provide some inspiration.The legislation would have cut $20.5 billion from SNAP,[http://yijijianzaoshi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=43830 Business relocates, hosts ribbon cutting], the nutrition assistance program commonly known as food stamps. That turned many would-be Farm Bill supporters into bitter opponents.Representative Dan Kildee (D-MI) had hoped to improve the SNAP program for both aid recipients and farmers. His amendment would have extended the reach of Michigan s successful Double Up Food Bucks program, which stretches food stamp dollars and helps small-scale farmers at the same time.Here s how it works. Michiganders on food stamps use their SNAP cards at participating locations. What they spend is matched with Double Up Food Bucks that can be used to purchase up to $20 worth of locally grown fruits and vegetables. That s a big help to SNAP recipients, who typically run through 90 percent of their monthly benefit within the first half of the month.The Fair Food Network started Double Up at five farmers markets in Detroit in 2009 with a $1 million grant from The Kellogg Foundation. The program has since grown to about 50 farmers markets throughout Michigan and expanded to Toledo, Ohio. Organizers hope to expand to nearly 80 markets within the next three years.Since the program started,[http://www.duodeta.com/upload3/home.php?mod=space&uid=32039 ], 81 percent of SNAP recipients surveyed said they have bought more fruits and vegetables, and 80 percent of the farmers who have participated report earning higher profits.Three supermarkets in Detroit that have agreed to stock locally grown produce eligible for Double Up purchases will participate in the program this summer. As it scales up,[http://bbs.izhuy.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=484155 Former Huskies star in summer league], the effort is nearing the limits of what it can do without federal support.Kildee s amendment would have appropriated $5 million per year to help other states launch similar programs.More than 47 million people receive SNAP benefits nationally,[http://www.red-bee.com/blog/2013/07/post-7.html#comments A Husky football fan recalls the past and finds hi], but there are around another 12 million people who are eligible for SNAP benefits who aren t getting them.

| + | == Darin Johnson showing offensive firepower == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>You never know what you ll get at the ? Games are played Mondays and Wednesdays and some nights NBA players such as Isaiah Thomas and professional players like Justin Dentmon and Matthew Bryan-Amaning will make an appearance. | ||
| + | But mostly the NCAA-sanctioned league is a showcase and training ground for college players. This year Washington,[http://wiki.wialon.com/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Qnaerllczh#Kroger_expands.2C_with_Amazon_in_its_nightmares Kroger expands, with Amazon in its nightmares], Seattle University and Seattle Pacific are participating and since this is a UW blog, we ll focus on the Huskies. | ||
| + | There were four games this week, but the most interesting matchup was Monday s nightcap that included a Suns team comprised of UW freshmen Darin Johnson and Jahmel Taylor against a Nets squad led by UW walk-on Quinn Sterling. | ||
| + | The Nets dominated in a 72-55 victory with Sterling adding 12 points. He s a lights-out shooter, especially when his feet are set. Off the dribble, he s not nearly as effective and he s limited athletically. | ||
| + | Taylor finished with four points in loss. He s exciting to watch because he s all energy and hustle. A couple of summer league coaches raved about his leadership skills and ability to accept coaching. Taylor is a prototypical undersized point guard. At 5-11, he s always one of the quickest players on the floor. He doesn t shy away from contact and stands his ground against bigger guards. However, at times the 160-pounder is at a size disadvantage when he s forced to defend forwards in the paint. If he s in a defensive scheme that switches on picks, then he could be exposed. | ||
| + | Still Taylor is at his best on the defensive end because he s got a bulldog mentality. On Monday his perimeter shot was erratic. He struggled on pick-n-rolls, which is bound to happen in summer league games. And he had more turnovers (five) than points. Taylor has to improve his college three-pointer much like Thomas and Dentmon did during their careers at UW. | ||
| + | Johnson was the best player on the floor and the star of the night. He scored a game-high 21 points. He stood out because of a diversified offensive attack. He did a little bit of everything. On three occasions in the first half,[http://www.fjjtjl.cn/bbs/showtopic-48280.aspx Michigan's snappy innovation], he got to the rim with a beautiful spin move in the lane and finished with his left hand. Twice in the second half, he used his dribble to separate from a defender and drained long jumpers. He was also adept using screens at the high post to create offense for himself. | ||
| + | Johnson is a fluid player who doesn t look like he s exhorting much energy. He tends to glide across the floor. But he s also surprisingly athletic and grabbed a couple of rebounds in traffic. | ||
| + | On Monday Johnson didn t make many high-flying plays above the rim. Not sure if that s in his repertoire. However, he looked like somebody who might help the Huskies offensively next season. | ||
| + | Washington, which lost three of its top four scorers,[http://wiki-paesaggio.arc.uniroma1.it/index.php/Utente:Qyvvezxtum#Richard_Sherman_softball_game_wrapup Richard Sherman softball game wrapup], needs players who can score. It s easy to imagine Johnson filling a spot in the rotation as an offensive-minded spark plug off the bench. Not sure how the 6-4 guard can start in a backcourt that will likely feature C.J. Wilcox, Andrew Andrews and Nigel Williams-Goss. It also remains to be seen if Johnson can rebound and defend well enough to warrant significant minutes. Terrence Ross is arguably the most gifted offensive UW player in the past decade, but he struggled to stay on the floor as a freshman because his defensive struggles. | ||
| + | Here s a quick Q A with Johnson from Monday. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (In regards to summer-league games there s always that question about how hard do guys compete? What are you trying to accomplish playing in these games?) I just try and work on stuff I ve been working on with the coaches and everything I ve been training for all summer. That s pretty much it. | ||
| + | (Is it important to win? Or is it more important to work on your individual game?) You always want to be competitive, but in games like this you don t want to take it to a level where somebody gets hurt. You just want to come out and showcase the skills that you have. | ||
| + | (How competitive is it?) It s competitive. Guys are going after it. It s there. It s not the most competitive game, but it s good. | ||
| + | (Do you get your best work during the week out here or at other places?) The best work is always during training so you can do it out here. So I d say working hard with the coaching staff at Washington and then coming out and showing it here. | ||
| + | (I haven t seen you a lot,[http://meiwujixian.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=123795&fromuid=16037 Heading into WPC, is Microsoft doing better or worse by its partners-], but tonight you displayed an ability to finish at the rim with the left hand. Where did that come from?) That was one of my weakness coming in this summer so I just wanted to put a lot in and work on that. So when I got out here to Seattle I can show that I can finish with my right and my left. A lot of people have a weak left hand, but I just wanted to improve on that. | ||
| + | (So how much have you improved your left hand?) Every time I m in the gym, I use my left hand. I get up as much shots as I can with the shooting machine and with coaches. That s mostly what I ve been working on, my shot and getting to the basket. | ||
| + | (You also looked surprisingly strong rebounding.) That was another weakness with my game. I m still not quite there with the rebounds. But being able to show athleticism that s going to be important, especially this year. That s an area that I m really trying to work on. | ||
| + | (In general, how has your summer been?) My summer has been going good. Transitioning and moving out here. I like it out here so far. It s going to keep improving. I started class this week. It s going good so far. | ||
| + | (Is it a difficult transition to move and be away from home?) It s a difference. I wouldn t say it s physically challenging. You got to be mentally tough. You got to know this is what you want and it will pay off. | ||
| + | (Do you have a roommate?) Yeah. Jahmel. | ||
| + | (How is that going?) It s going good. Me and him have a lot connections. We ve been going and getting shots up. I m enjoying it so far. | ||
| + | (Have you been able to bond with the other incoming players. Obviously Nigel Williams-Goss has been away,[http://wikiar.artecnologia.inf.br/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:Johnmichael Erasmo Ramirez appears to be getting call from Mariners 0], but are you starting to build any camaraderie? Maybe with Mike Anderson?) He s not here yet. I m pretty sure when he gets here he ll be kicking with us a lot. I m pretty sure we ll be bonding later on. | ||
| + | (Now that you re here and had some chance to see the guys, how do you think you ll fit in next season?) I ll just do whatever coach ask me to do. That s how I feel like I ll fit in. Just try and contribute the best way I can. That s how I see myself right now. | ||
| + | (Who has been the biggest surprise so far?) I haven t really seen everybody because a lot of guys aren t here yet so I wouldn t know how to answer that. | ||
| + | (Have you had fun with all of this?) Coach is pushing us in the individual workouts. Things like not being able to put your hands on your knees and stuff like that. It might not sound fun,[http://www.647526.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=170215 Enjoy the holidays Victorian era_0], but it s a push. You know that you re getting better so it s a great feeling.</html> | ||
