Understanding this principle is an important step toward develop ing a life-style that permits you to maintain your ideal weight. If you carry around more pounds than the weight tables say is ideal, you have lots of company. About 25 percent of Americans are over weight, and more are joining their ranks everyday. Although dieting is popular, it doesn't cure overweight. Dieting deals only with how much food You can help teens deal with stress Whether you're the parent of a teenager, a volunteer leader for a group of teens, or an employer of teens, you're going to encounter teens trying to handle stress. Be prepared to help them. You may not think teenagers face much stress, but they have stressful situations, too. Failing a test, having a fight with a friend, or being "put down"can seem like the end of the world to a teenager. In addition, teens haven't had much time to learn to deal with stressful situations. It takes time to learn to be a good stress manager. Teens, like everyone else, react to stress in three ways; they get angry, withdraw or take charge. If they get angry or aggressive, they get your attention. But that usually causes more stress in the long run. Drinking too much, driv ing recklessly or breaking things doesn't solve problems, it only cre ates more stress. Do what you can solve it. Softeners can cause oreasv stains on clotnes Occasionally you may notice small, greasy-looking streaks on your polyester blouses when you remove them from the dryer. This can be caused by sheets of fabric softener. Fabric softeners used in auto matic dryers do a good job of con trolling static cling, but occasion ally cause stains, which appear as small oily spots or streaks. Two situations in particular may encourage staining: 1. Overloading the dryer pre vents the softener from tumbling freely, thus resulting in the soften ing substance being deposited in one area; and Stress The According to the National Men tal Health Association, "anxiety and tension are essential functions of living." Stress is nothing mod ern, but lately we have found new ways of defining it and dealing with it. Everybody has the ability to live through periods of emotional up heaval; to experience anxiety is quite normal. But what are the signs that tension is getting out of hand? The following questions offer some indication. 1. Do minor problems throw you for a loop? 2. Do you find it hard to get along with people you used to be compatible with? 3. Does nothing seem to give you pleasure? 4. Are you unable to stop think ing about your problems? 5. Do you feel suspicious and mistrustful much of the time? 6. Do you feel trapped and or inadequate?

Dieting also doesn't help people change their social situation and interaction with other people. To lose weight, a person needs support from people at home and or work. Analyze your eating habits. Find out your problem times, situations and foods by asking what you eat, when, where and with whom. In one example, a person found that she overate only when her friend visited. Some people find to discourage this reaction. Withdrawal also can be destruc tive. It's normal for people to want to be alone when they are emotion ally hurt, but, if they continue their withdrawal for a long time, they're keeping themselves from what they need most understanding, support and help from others. When under stress, teens may complain of a churning stomach or a headache, as fear creeps through their bodies. When in this situation, try to get teens to talk to someone they trust and share what bothers them. Lis tening to music and relaxing helps, as does physical exercise. Let teens do something they enjoy that will take their minds off the problem. Sometimes teens can talk to friends or parents of friends. Oth ers talk with a coach or an employer. If someone comes to you to talk, get them to lay out the problem and help them discover ways to after the clothes have been tum bling for a while may stain the fabric where the softener touches the warm clothing. Package direc tions instruct the user to add the sheet to the dryer immediately after the clothes are added. Garments of colored synthetics and synthetic blends are most sus ceptible to this type of staining, but it's not permanent and will proba bly vanish in the next wash. If the stain persists, it can be removed by dampening the spot, rubbing it with bar soap or liquid hand deter gent and relaundering the item with extra detergent. good, bad, manageable these questions, it's time to do something. Here are some positive steps you can take. 1. Find someone to confide in. Speak frankly and ask for an objective opinion. 2. Take a short respite, even if that only means an afternoon off or an evening at the movies. 3. Resolve to work off your anger or suspicion in hard but use ful labor, or in exercise. 4. Shun the urge to be a super man superwoman. 5. Give the other fellow a break. A tolerant attitude can make life easier for you. 6. Try something new. Creative activity, such as painting, carpen try, cooking and needlework, pro vide a sense of accomplishment as well as peaceful relaxation. 7. Take your relaxation seriously. Exercise and other activities re quire personal commitment. 8. If you feel you need profes loss than they only overeat one type of food, such as cookies. Others fear not being able to stop eating. Once problem situations are identified, many people are able to develop strategies for managing their weight. If only one or two foods are "problems", perhaps the food can be eliminated from the house. If eating too fast is a problem, people can slow down by putting their fork down between bites and by taking a two-minute rest break in the middle of eating. Learning to eat slowly and taking a break in the middle of a meal is often very help ful to people who cannot stop eat ing once they start. Most people find eating regular meals is important to long-term weight control. When meals arc skipped, people tend to make up for it at the next meal by eating a Reactions to loss differ Whatever the disaster fire, flood, blizzard or loss of financial security the the loss of home, property, livestock and money can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected. The loss of hope and material possessions can be similar in impact to the death of a loved one. It is a time of grief. People normally go through five stages of grief following a serious loss. Fortunately, friends and rela tives can provide some specific types of help at each stage. Shock and denial. In this stage the person may feel confused and be unable to function or perform normally easy tasks. He or she may deny the loss and may avoid deal ing with the reality of the situation. explore alternatives at this stage in able physically is important. Offer support and help with everyday tasks if you can. Anger. During the anger stage, the affected person can understand more clearly what is happening, may feel anger and look for some one to blame. Unfortunately, any Plant cool season crop Milder spring weather that usual- lyl ushers in March and April is perfect, for planting cool season crops. Cool season crops are vegetables that flourish in temperatures that other garden vegetables, such as corn and beans, can't tolerate. Cool season crops planted later in the year when temperatures are higher don't produce well because warm to hot weather reduces the quality of many of the hardier vegetables. In Oregon, cool season crops include broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions, peas, white potatoes, spin ach, turnips, beets, carrots, chard, parsnips and radishes. While cool season crops are usu ally the first to be planted in the home garden, specific planting dates vary from vegetable to vegetable. sional help, get it.

Keep resume concise, One of the keys to writing an effective resume is learning what to omit. The basic rule is to exclude everything that is not directly related to your ability to do the specific job for which you are apply ing. A concise resume should include: Your name, address and phone number at the top of the page. Job objective. While there is more than one right way to arrange information on a resume, the job objective often fits nicely as the second item on the page. Job experience. A chronologi cal or functional description of the work you have done. This sum mary is the heart of the resume. Education. Mention the high est level of education completed and any specialized training you have had. Indicate degrees earned, subject majored in, and the year you graduated (if you choose.) Add grade point average if you are a recent graduate and your grades were good. Membership and honors. Dur ing the early years out of school, list honors you won as a student. Later most academic honors dim inish in importance unless they are nationally recognized (like mem bership in Phi Betta Kappa). If you have to explain the honor, it doesnl belong on your resume unless it is directly applicable to the job for which you are applying. dieting little extra. Getting too hungry before eating also makes it hard to quit eating. To determine how much you should eat, allow 10 calories for every pound of body weight. Adjust the caloric level downward as weight is lost. Fating 10 calorics of food for every pound of body weight prevents the matabolic slowdown that can make losing weight even harder. Exercise is also important. If a person sits a lot, till be much harder to lose weight and keep it off. ' For people who eat when suffer ing from boredom or stress, physi cal activity can be especially bene ficial. Physical activity uses up :a lories and it's hard to eat while .xcrcising. Regular physical activ ty also has been found to help nosl people keep the weight off. one can be a target. Realize it is normal and healthy for a person to feel anger over the loss of something valuable. Allow the person to vent those angry feelings. Do not take those feelings per sonally nor make them more than what they really are. Diffuse the feelings of anger if possible and be a good listener and friend. Depression and detachment. If no one is around to be angry with, the person may turn the anger inside, causing depression. The person may withdraw from activi ties and people. If you have a friend who is emotional one who cries or is withdrawn he or she may be blaming himself or herself for the situation. Be empathetic and sensi tive and continue to listen. Help the person avoid blaming either himself herself or others. Dialogue. Given time and sup port of others, depression eventu ally subsides and the person will begin to reach out and talk and listen to others. This is the best time to explore alternatives that may be acceptable. The local growing season in differ ent parts of Oregon must also be taken into consideration.

Get some help from a knowledgeable friend if you can, but if you are left to your own devi ces, at least ask yourself these five questions: 1. Is it brief? Never use a resume to express your philosophy. Stick to facts. A resume should be no longer than two pages; one is usu ally better. 2. Did you minimize use of the prounon "I"? Use "I" only where anything else sound awkward. 3. Is the tone professional and straightforward? A sense of humor can be a valuable asset on the job, but clever remarks seldom "work" 4-H Summer Week Is coming soon!
