SlML V YAY TYMOO Wahm spkinks, oiu:; 97761 May 8, 1987 Sweeteners don't promote weight-loss Fact: There's no evidence that eating artifically sweetened foods will help you lose weight or prevent weight gain. Although Americans on average consume more sugar substitutes than ever, they are heavier today than they were two decades ago. According to an ongoing mor tality study by the American Cancer Society involving more than 78.000 women aged 50 to 69, long-term users of artificial sweeteners were more likely to gain weight than nonusers over the course of one year. The amount of weight gain was significantly higher among the users of artificial sweeteners, regard less of their initial body weight. And users were considerably more Roses can be planted now Homeowners planning to add a few rose bushes to the landscape need wait no longer. Rose plants are now on sale in many garden stores and nurseries. Survival of newly planted roses is dependent on how you plant them. Planting time is usually March and April. The sooner they are planted, however, the better chance they have of making good root growth before the warm tempera tures start. Plant roses in well-drained flower beds that receive at least a half a day of sunshine. After selecting the planting site, dig a 15 to 18 inch wide hole and as deep. Add a quart of peat moss or compost to the soil and mix well. Fashion the compost soil mixture into a cone or mound in the bottom of the planting hole. Place the rose plant on the compost-soil mix and spread the roots out and down to give them room. Then start adding soil to the hole, working it around the roots to get rid of air pockets. Fill the hole about three-fourths full, firming the soil as you go. Then fill the remaining part of the hole with water and allow it to soak in. Add water again and finish fil ling the hole. likely to have a large weight gain (over 16 percent of body weight) than nonusers. The problem is that instead of replacing sugary, high-caloric foods, artifically sweetened foods are often simply added to the diet. Weight conscious folk who wouldn't dare put a teaspoon of sugar (about 16 calories) in their coffee may not think twice about eating a fatty steak or a fruit-flavored yogurt (which may contain six or more teaspoons of sugar.) Another problem with artificial sweeteners is that they don't satisfy hunger. A recent study on aspar fane conducted at Leeds University in England found that not only was this sweetener unable to suppress appetite, but in some people it actually increased feelings of hunger. In contrast, sugar (glucose) was found to reduce hunger and pro duce a feeling of fullness. So throwing away your sugar bowl isn't likely to make you thinner. Weight loss depends on reducing the total amount of calorics you consume from all foods, andor increasing your caloricexpcnditurcs through physical exercise.

Agent Household cleaners don't have to be expensive Some prefer to rent Folks used to trade hamburger recipes. Now they beat the high cost of living by trading cleaning recipes. The following recipes for home-made cleaners work well, cost little, and are easy to make. They use ingredients already on hand in most homes or at grocery, paint, hardware, and drug stores. These ingredients include ammonia, vine gar, baking soda, washing soda, whiting (sold at paint stores), kero sene, turpentine, and boiled linseed oil. General Household Cleaner Mix 2 tablespoons household ammo nia, 2 tablespoons liquid detergent, and I quart water. Use forclcaning kitchen countertops, and the out sides of ranges and refrigerators. Window and Mirror Cleaner Try one of these add four tables poons of household ammonia to one quart of warm water. Use this cleaner for the removal of heavy, greasy soil found on glass surfaces inside homes. Use two tablespoons vinegar to one quart of warm water. Vinegar is a mild acid which may remove the rust or lime deposits left on the outsides of windows.

Most of the surveys indicate that owning your own home is still the American dream, even though with today's interest rates and the higher price of homes, we find that fewer people are able to realize that dream. It used to be that owning a home was an investment and it was as good or better than investing your money in the stock market or a savings account, because of the inflation rate with housing. How ever, the price of housing has been fairly stable for the last three or four years. So, owning a home today is not the same type of Trees save energy Data gathered for a recent report by the National Arbor Day Foun dation showed that trees planted as shelterbelts can lower heating bills by as .much as30 percent.

It's time to plant cool-weather veggies It will soon be time to plant broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions, peas, white potatoes, spinach, tur nips, beets, carrots, chard, pars nips and radishes in the home garden. They grow well in temperatures than other garden crops such as beans and corn can't tolerate. Put ting cool season crops in the garden later in the year when temperatures are higher is not recommended because warm weather can harm the quality of these vegetables. Even though cool season crops are the first to be planted in the garden in the spring, planting dates vary trom vegetable to vegetable. If you are unsure of the right planting dates check at a local gardening or nursery store, or with the Exten sion office. Here are some planting recom mendations for a few of the more popular cool season crops. Lettuce. This vegetable can be. grown from transplants, but is cheaper to grow from seed. Plant ing early helps avoid insect infesta tions that can severely damage sum mer plantings. Onions. Can be planted from seeds, transplants or sets. Plant onion sets as soon as the garden soil is workable. If the garden remains too wet and sloppy, onion sets can be started in flower pots indoors. Peas. Usually among the earliest of all the cool season crops to be planted. Plant peas as soon as the soil can be worked. The seed can be planted directly in its permanent row. Early plantings of peas usu ally do best because this vegetable is sensitive to summer heat and many varieties are susceptible to virus disorders spread by aphids and other insects. repair and collect soil readily.

Prescription prices can be varied If you live in an area that has more than one pharmacy conve nient for your needs, phone them all first before getting your next prescription filled. Why? Because prices for prescriptions may vary considerably among them. A study done by the New York State Consumer Protection Board showed prices for a tetracycline prescription purchased in the same town ranged from as little as S2.50 to as much as $7.95 more than triple! So, to cut your prescription bills, make the call before you take the ride.

For a woman who enjoyed regular work outs before becoming pregnant, it can be important psychologically to continue with a regular exercise program. Moderate exercise during pregnancy can help prevent excessive weight gain and help speed up recovery after birth. What kind of exercise, and how much, is safe during pregnancy? Medical experts say that your exer cise program must be geared to your ievel of fitness, medical history, past pregnancies, the stage of de velopment of the fetus, and maternal complicating factors. Therefore, it's important to consult with your physician. Generally, you should not take up new exercise programs during pregnancy. Stick to your usual exercise routine, but cut back on the intensity. Remember that preg nancy puts extra demands on your heart and lungs. Your oxygen con sumption goes up, and so does your heart rate. As pregnancy ad vances, breathing becomes harder work because you have to displace the enlarging uterus downward with each intake of breath. For exercise to be effective, it should be regular. Try to exercise no less than three times a week in half-hour sessions. The best exer cise is an activity you enjoy. Walk- Adult children are links Adult children are often a signif icant link between their aging parents and needed community services. In fact, older adults look primarily to their adult sons and daughters when they need help dealing with such bureaucracies as Social Sercuity, Medicare, Medicaid, health services and insurance companies. Quite often, dealing with these agencies can be stressful and frus trating. It may require an assertive effort on the part of the adult child. Extension offers these suggestions for dealing with services bureau cracies on behalf of aging parents. Know exactly what you are look ing for. Various agencies offer various services. Doctors or members ofthe clergy can help you find theservices you are seeking. Or, callthe Area Agency on Aging, orlnformation and Referral. Be polite but firm. Do not lose your temper. Be patient and explain your problem or need as clearly and as often as necessary. Call first and do so in the morning or right after lunch. These are probably your best times to reach caseworkers. Dont apologize when asking for help. If a parent or elderly person cannot attord even a minimal fee, say so. Many agencies receive money through taxes or con tributions that may pay or help pay any charges for services. Also, some agencies have free volunteer services. Get the name of everyone you talk to. If someone is rude or refuses to help, remain calm and ask to talk to his or her supervision If the agency requires an initial interview , be prepared. Take all revelant legal and finanicial papers with you. If you feel stressed, take along a friend or relative along with you. Be sure you understand what is going to happen and what legal, financial or other responsibilities you or the elderly person have. If necessary, take notes during the interview. . Check out all available options. Places to start include your local Area Agency on Aging, of Senior Citizen Center. And, if you don't find what you need, consider advocating more services for your community. Finding needed services foraging parents is a significant role for adult sons and daughters. Success can improve the quality of life for everyone. ing and swimming are particularly good for pregnant women who have hitherto had sedentary life styles. Warming up and cooling down are especially important during pregnancy, but stretch mus cles carefully because muscles and joints are looser than usual. Cool down with leisurely walking, which helps return blood to your heart from your lower extremities. What to avoid Avoid bouncing, jarring, twisting and any activity that puts your abdomen in jeopardy. Contact sports are too risky, as is any activity that requires rapid stops and starts, since your center of gravity has changed and it is easier ro lose your balance. In addition, take the fol lowing precautions: 1. If you feel very tired or ex perience discomfort, stop and rest. You should not exercise so intensely that you are unable to talk. You should recover your pre-exercise heart rate within 15 minutes of your exercisee session. 2. Don't exercise while lying on your back after the fourth month. ' This can block the blood supply to the uterus and depress the fetal heart rate. If you need to rest during an exercise session, lie down on your side, not on your back. 3. Don't exercise vigorously in hot humid weather, and always drink plenty of water before and after exercising. This avoids the dehydration and elevated body tem perature that could injury the fetus. 4. Remember that your muscles and connective tissues are gradually undergoing hormonal chances that will relax them. This will facilitate the baby's birth, but it also makes you more susceptible to strains and sprains. Wear properly fitted shoes that support your feet in whatever activity you choose. Families who acquire skills in problem solving appear to master stressful problems more satisfac torily. Research shows that deci sion making by distressed couples and families rarely involves rpore than discussions of the problems. Those with creativity, flexibility, or lack of rigidity generate more alternatives from which to make choices for action leading to a bet ter chance for success. The steps to be followed in decision making arc: ' I. Identify the problem. 2. What do you want to have happen (goal)? 3. Think up solutions (lots of them). 4. Gather information and assess solutions in relation to howthey fit with thoughts and feelings of others. 5. Select a solution and develop a plan of action. Lawn Establishment and Care May 18, 1987 7:30 p.m. Fire Management Trailer Marvin Young, Horticulture Extension Agent Deschutes County Try the positive approach If you listen to parents guiding children, you often hear works like "don't," "stop," and "quit that." Children need and want to be told what is right and what is wrong by an older, wiser person. Telling them what not to do doesn't help them learn what they should do. When they know how and why to do things, they feel secure. Changing the "don'ts" into "do's" will show children how you expect them to act. Avoid Don'ts: Don't throw the ball. Don't squeeze the kitten. Quit hitting your brother. Don't touch. Try do's: Roll the ball on the floor. Hold the kitty like this. Hit ting hurts. We just look at these things.

They may not fit all oper ations. Therefore, livestock owners should use only those appropriate to their situation. General Management: Continue proper mineral and vitimin supplementation including selenium in those areas where it is needed. Provide mineral and vitamin during the breeding season as it has an effect on reproduction. Watch for grass tetany during the early grow ing season hen grass is growing extremely fast. Supple ment with magnesium in your loose salt-mineral mixture or with mag nesium blocks. Lice control use pour-on or ivermectin if devouring is almost needed. Consider which is more economical since the use of pour on and a pastemay be cheaper, yet more time consuming. Baby Calf Management: Identification ear tags, ear tatoos, brand. Vaccinations 4-way clostridial (for blackleg). Selenium (if dams are not on scleium-salt supplement) Pinkeye (if needed), vitamins A, D and E. Castrate bull calves and only heifer not used for replacments Dehorn. Bull Management: Bulls should be turned in with breeding heifers so they will calve before cows. THen bull should be placed with cows two to three weeks later. Bulls should be vaccinated for vibrisos as should be breeding females.
