Salads: the star of the meal
Salads are an easy way to add lots o f fruits
and vegetables to comply with National Acad
emy o f Sciences recommendations o f eating at
least 5 servings o f fruits and vegetables a day.
Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in
fat, calories and sodium and have no choles
terol.
One serving is 1/2 cup o f fruit or cooked
vegetable, or I cup o f leafy greens, or 1/4 cup
o f dried fruit. Many people eat salads but add
items which reduce it's healthy benefits.
Too much dressing defeats the purpose of
an otherwise low-fat salad. Most regular types
o f salad dressings with mayonnaise and oils
add fat and should be used sparingly.
Croutons, olives, avocado, fried noodles,
nuts, and crumbled bacon are sources o f fat
which should be limited.
A tablespoon o f regular type salad dressing
can triple a salad's calories, and may be 90% fat
calories.
Adding healthier, low-fat salad ingredients
and low-fat, reduced-calorie dressings can

magic to giving a book to a child who doesn't
have one, " said Senator Hatfield. "I am
delighted to be welcoming First Book to

Kite safety tips from Pacific Power
- are not the place to play,” Pacific Power
manager Carl Talton says. “The danger is
very real and could be deadly.”
Talton offers the following tips for a safe
summer:
Keep all kites away from overhead power
lines Ifa kite does become tangled in electri
cal wires, make NO attempt to remove it!
Call Pacific Power.
Be certain there are no overhead wires
near trees. If there are lines present, do not
climb the tree for ANY reason.
Substations are fenced for the public’s
The end o f the school year means that
young people will be taking o ff for play
grounds, open fields, parks and just about
any location where they can fly a kite, climb
a tree or play ball.
Although Pacific Power doesn't have kite-
eating trees’ made famous by Charley Brown
cartoons, the electric utility does have power
poles, overhead wires and substations to con
sider when seeking the best places for out
door fun.
Electrical facilities-overhead wires, poles,
substations or ground-mounted transformers
protection. Climbing a substation fence just
because it’s there or to retrieve personal
property, is an invitation to trouble.
Although ground-mounted transformers
are safe while sealed, nothing should be
poked into or around the metal containers.
Be careful or overhead power lines when
raising antennas or irrigation pipe.
Move well clear o f the danger before
upending the material.
"remembering these simple safety rules
should assure a safe and pleasant summer for
ev ery o n e," says Talton.
