She doesn 't pre , pare nutritious meals, and forgets to turn off the stove. What can I : do? Should Dad be forbidden to drive? His vision is poor; he's had one minor accident. Still, he seems to drive to the store okay. Mom needs 24-hour supervi sion. The only choices we have are for her to live with us or in a nursing home. Mom sa ys she would rather die than live in a nursing home. But she and I just don 't get along when we live together. Situations like these are difficult for families. Yet, the decline of a parent's health or intellectual capa cities often requires adult sons and daughters to become involved in decisions about a parent's life. The older people are, the more likely they'll face increasing health problems, frailty, and the need for support and assistance from family and community services. Many people never face major Substitutes When cooking, salt can be used sparingly for numerous foods or can be eliminated entirely uy using spices, herbs and other seasonings. Lemon, lime, basil, garlic, oregano and, of course, pepper are but a few of the seasonings that might be used in greater quantities or in place of salt. In addition to the low- and reduced-sodium food products now available, shoppers can choose from a number of nonprescription medi cations with reduced sodium con tent. A word about salt substitute products: They are high in potas sium. Sodium and potassium work in delicate balance in the body. Salt substitutes can be safely used by most people, but not those with some kidney and other medical conditions. In summary, here are some tips to help you cut down on your sodium consumption: Use the saltshaker sparingly. Don't use it until you've tasted your food. Read food labels. Look for the amount of sodium in a product. See where salt or sodium is on the ingredient list. Look for low-salt, low-sodium or sodium-reduced products. These days, the low-sodium list runs literally from soup to nuts. Try cooking with less salt. Use 4-H leader garden Four rows of peas (.prepared, 2. patience, 3. preserveranceand4. presence.

Design concepts for future kitchens Changes in the way we live will cause the major impact in kitchen planning, said Ellen Chever, renowned kitchen planner and inte rior designer, at the February meeting of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. Here are the changes that will shape the kitchen of the future. 1. Homes will be smaller and family space more compact. Kitchen designers will create large multi purpose "great rooms"that include the kitchen, laundry, dining and family room. Space will expand or shrink as necessary for each activity with fold-out, drop-down and swing around furniture. Items in the room will provide double-duty service, such as an entertainment bar that also serves as a laundry sink. Appliances are apt to be full size, vertically oriented, and built into the room, and partial walls or removable barriers will shield work areas from full view of guests. Moveable centers with less frequent Dental hygiene important There's no truth to the old saying that you lose a tooth for every baby. But, there's a lot to be said for practicing good dental habits during pregnancy both to protect the mother's oral health and to get the baby off to a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth. Good dental hygiene is important for the pregnant woman, who may be more susceptible to gum infection during pregnancy. While the infec tion is caused by bacteria, it may be exaggerated by the expectant mother's alte'ed hormone balance. Two factors influence the sound ness of a baby's teeth genes and environment The genetic instruc concerns about aging parents. Their parents remain physically and men tally active until death and need little or no assistance. However, for some older persons, poor health, limited financial resources, or lone liness present serious problems. Answers to difficult situations sometimes reequirc a professional. A counselor, physician, financial advisor, lawyer or social worker may be helpful. Involvement in a family support groups may also provide answers to problems of caregiving and reduce social and emotional isolation. Sharing with others who are living through the , same experiences can promote a sense of "I am not alone" and provide both a source for learning practical skills and an opportunity to vent feelings with others who understand. ' Resources: Many publications, available through bookstores and libraries, can help you deal with concerns about aging relatives. These include used for salt spices and other seasonings. Remember: A teaspoon of salt contains almost 2.000 milligrams' of sodium. Give yourself a little time to get adjusted to a diet lower in sodium. Most people make the adjustment and enjoy it. These recipes can be placed in shakers and used instead of salt: Saltless Surprise 2 tsp.. garlic powder I tsp. basil I tsp. anise seed I tsp. oregano 1 tsp. powdered lemon rind or dry lemon juice Put ingredients info blender and rn'ix well.

Fertilize your garden with lots of love and understanding and your garden will turn into a 4-H haven for today's kids; ly used equipment or work centers will raise up from the floor or drop down from the ceiling. Interiors will be contemporary and light-colored to further visually expand space. Walkways and hall ways will be put to use, perhaps with recessed shallow cabinetry, or eliminated. Every inch of potential storage space will be used. 2. Today's career oriented woman will force changes in the kitchens of the future. They'll be designed for people who don't like to cook but must.

The environment of the womb before birth affects the growth of the teeth and jaws. A mother's health habits can affect the unborn child's future dental health. One of the most imporant things to remember is that the mother's nutritional intake contributes to the health of her unborn baby. A well-balanced diet allow s adequate development of all fetal tissues, including the cells that make up gums, jaws and teeth. Source: American Dental Association. AM MA the following: Bumagin.

Install awning over windows with southern and western expo sures. Be sure house is tight by caulking and weatherstripping. Utilize attic ventilation to re move trapped hot air. Turn off lights w hen not in use or needed. Set thermostat at 78 to 80 degrees during the day when the Watch plants Plants don't talk, but they can still communicate. For example, a home law n that isn't getting enough water will let you know by breaking out in lots of ugly brown spots. Watering becomes a very impor tant lawn maintenance chore during late June and through July and August when temperatures are high and rainfall is sparse. Areas of a lawn that don't receive adequate water during the summer are likely to turn a steelgray color first and then yellow or brown. Dry spots in the lawn may be the fault ofpoorlawn-sprinklercoverage or the lawn soil might be so com pacted that water can't penetrate to the grass-root zone. 1 hatch buildup can also keep water from penetrating Preserve foods with care Have food preservation problems left you in a pickle or a jam?

Cheever predicts that the demand for dishwashers, food waste dispo sers and effective means of disposing of trash will be high on the buyer's shopping list in coming years. Also, kitchens will be designed to accomodate junior cooks who share the kitchen tasks with their working mothers.

Home interiors w ill provide a welcome, relaxing environment as a relief from our high-tech, busy paced society. Kitchens will be designed for more than one cook, so family members can cook and socialize together. At least one seating area for socializing with family and friends will be incor porated into the kitchen, along with a television and communica tions center to allow the harried cook(s) to watch news and enter tainment programs. 4. New design concepts will emerge to serve the needs of the elderly population. For example, small efficiency kitchens may be planned into cluster home com munities which feature communal dining facilities, or living quarters may have shared living areas with separate bedroom zones.

Consider local weather and soil condition when deciding how often to water the lawn. Aninch of water a week, except under very hot, windy conditions, is usually enough to wet the lawn to a depth of six to eight inches. Too much water will simply run off the lawn and leach away soil nutrients faster than desired.

Sheldon Minnick coun seled at two camps the Mid-Columbia Counties 4-H Camp, held near Wamic, and the Morrow Wheeler County 4-H Camp. Each was responsible for a cabin of 4-Hers, assisting with classes, planning evening activities, esta blishing a camp theme and promoting camp morale.

Watering so frequently that the lawn surface never complete ly dries will encourage weed and moss growth in the turf. Early morning is the best time to water a lawn because there is less chance of disease, evaporation is less, and wind is not usually a problem. An alternative to correct lawn watering is to give the lawn no water. Most lawngrasses will go dormant during the summer if not watered. In the fall they will green up and look better than they would if watered erratically through the summer. Windsurfing was one of the classes Mid-Columbia Counties 4-H camp. tr..O i ' - ' '. K i (?
