#The Dole

[91vaults]

It's pretty funny to me that the justification for people on unemployment doing pointless busy work (such as Work for the Dole) is the Idea that the unemployed just really struggle with basic concepts like getting up before 10 and being in a specific place for a specific amount time (""""regulsr routine""""") I've heard all the pollies say constantly. BITCH WE ALL struggle with this concept. That's why none of us are getting out of bed unless we're getting paid AS IT SHOULD BE.

Farmers Market+ at The Dole Mansion Offers Family Fun Every Sunday

The Farmers Market+ offers families a chance to explore local vendors every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Located at the historic Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake, Illinois, the market is easily accessible and offers ample parking. The market encompasses the mansion's front circular driveway and interior lawn moves indoors during the colder months. Vendors will typically accept credit cards, and the ATM inside the main entrance holds some cash for those who may like to purchase items. For Dole merchandise and The Dole Market Bar, credit cards are welcome.

Parking at The Dole costs $5 per car, that comes with a coupon for a free cup of Heady Cup coffee ($5 value) and locals are encouraged to walk or bike to help reduce traffic, with bike racks available on the grounds. There is now no-cost parking at The Triangle Lot, South Elementary School, and Lundahl Middle School. Handicapped parking is onsite and always free.

OUR PURITAN ANCESTORS took it as an article of faith that the idle were unworthy of charity, a sentiment famously captured by the Calvinist preacher Cotton Mather: “For those who indulge themselves in idleness, the express command of God unto us is, that we should let them starve.” Long after Mather departed this world, his spirit lived on, embodied in the nation’s poor laws. Statutes that outlined government’s responsibility to the destitute, the poor laws combined guarded concern for needy Americans with suspicions that they were complicit in their own misfortune. Under the poor laws, the chronically jobless were removed from society and dispatched to county poorhouses, catchall institutions that were also home to the old, infirm, and mentally ill. Those who could ordinarily shift for themselves but were temporarily jobless applied to public officials, men with no special welfare training, for what was known as outdoor or home relief, assistance generally given in the form of food and coal. To discourage idlers, the welfare experience was made as unpleasant as possible. Before applying for help, the poor were made to wait until utterly penniless, and then declare it publicly. When granting relief, officers followed the old rule of thumb that families living “on the town” must never reach the comfort level of the poorest independent family. The weekly food allowance was a meager four dollars a week—and less in some areas—regardless of how many people it was supposed to feed. Finally, it was customary to give food and coal on alternate weeks, providing minimal nourishment and warmth, but never both at the same time.

By custom and by law, public relief in the United States had always been a local concern, the responsibility of towns, cities, and counties. By the summer of 1931, however, in communities across the United States the money raised for the jobless had evaporated, while the numbers of people applying for it continued to climb. Still, Hoover remained confident that between private charity and local government, America would find its way out of the job crisis. An announcement from the White House in August made it official: the president was against a federal dole and was not about to support one.

Farmers Market At The Dole Offers Entertainment in a Historic Setting

Held each Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm, Farmers Market+ At The Dole offers visitors a vibrant outdoor market setting with items ranging from just-off-the-vine fruits and vegetables to fresh mushrooms and fresh flowers. The weekly Crystal Lake, Illinois, event is held on the front lawn of the historic Dole Mansion and features live music entertainment and balloon artists, and face painters.

As patrons wander about, taking in tunes by favorites like The Gooroos, they sample food from vendors like Joe + Dough, The Inside Scoop, Las Cazuelitas, and BOA Acai Bowls. Bar beverages such as mimosas, market produce bloody mary's, plus hot and iced coffee are available from vendors. Vendors donate any unsold food to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry, whose presence helps make Farmers Market a supportive community gathering.

Cycling to the local event is recommended, with bike racks at the main entrance off Country Club Road. Those who drive can park in paid $5 parking at the Dole, and receive a free cup of Heady Coffee, and there are no-cost options at nearby parking lots. The event is pet-friendly and welcomes all well-behaved animal companions with their own leashes.
