You some times have to look at their actions instead of their words. People often say what they think others want to hear. Do your actions go along with your words? Through decisions we grow.

When burning wood, keep air clean Many of us choose to live in Oregon for its beauty and clean environment. The close relation ship we have with the outdoors contributes to healthier, less stress ful lifestyles. But in many Oregon communities, smoky skies signal a rift in ths relationship. Smoke is polluting our air, interfering with our lifestyles and reducing our quality of life. If you do heat with wood, please do your part in reducing the amount' of smoke your stove produces. Here are guidelines for operat ing and maintaining wood stoves to reduce smoke emissions, improve stove efficiency and ensure safety. Burn only dry firewood Firewood moisture prevents wood stoves from operating cleanly and efficiently. Greenwood or wood that's gotten wet is difficult to ignite. Fires built with wet wood produce a lot of smoke but not much heat. They also deposit more creosote in flues and chimneys. That creosote can ignite and pro duce very hot chimney fires a major cause of home fires. Efficient wood stove operation You'll get more heat and less smoke from your wood stove if you combination with the cold skin and confusion. The muscles are often unusually stiff particularly in the neck, arms continue to see your leisure-time companions. To evaluate leisure activities, ask yourself: Is what I am doing the best thing for myself and for those I care for? Is it going to help me or hurt me? Can I keep it up as I get older? Will it eventually make me content? to grow out the proper weight for breeding and calving will reduce overall costs. Target weights for medium fram ed Hereford-Angus Cross heifers should be around 675 pounds at puberty or breeding. If the heifer is to calve at two years she will need to weigh 675 pounds at 14 to 15 months of age. A heifer that is weaned at eight months of age and 450 pounds must gain 200 pounds in the 166 winter feeding program and spring turnout period to be at the 675 pounds weight for breeding. It is rare that heifers or yearlings will gain more than .5 pounds per day in the firt 40 days of spring turnout. So it is importnat that the majority of the weight gain be done in the winter feeding period. placing the loaf under the broiler a short time.)

One teaspoon of fat or oil equals 40 calories. One teaspoon of sugar is 15 calories. One fluid ounce of 80-proof alcohol equals 65 calories.

Follow these guidelines: Start the fire with paper and dry kindling, with air inlets and flue dampers wide open to supply plenty of air. Add two or three small pieces of dry firewood. Keep air supplies open to get the fire going quickly. When the firewood is burning briskly (in about 20 minutes), reduce the air supply for a moderate burn rate. But don't restrict air supply so much that you extinguish the flames. Burn small, hot fires. Add only one or two pieces of dry firewood at a time. Provide more air after refueling to help ignite the new fuel, then reduce air supply for a moderate burn rate. When the fuel is reduced to coals and you don't need to add more wood, further restrict the air supply. Look at what's coming out of your chimney. If you see smoke, increase the air supply. Don't burn garbage, junk mail, magazines, treated or painted wood, plastics or gift wrapping. These materials may produce toxic fumes that are a risk to you in your home. and legs. This stittness may be accompanied by a fine trembling, perhaps limited to only one side of the body or one arm or leg. Shiver ing is an important sign that the body is having trouble keeping warm. Older people frequently shiver less or not at all. As the body cools, conscious ness is depressed. One of the first changes caused by hypothermia is a growing mental confusion. It becomes progressively worse as body temperature falls. Logical thinking is impaired and the per son may become completely disor iented. Memory is also affected and familiar things are often for gotten. Attitude is also affected. Apathy and diminished physical energy are common. Often the person sim ply doesn't care what happens and will do nothing to help reduce the danger. The person may also behave strangely or become irritable, hos tile and aggressive. Hypothermia is frequently the result of indoor cold exposure coupled with one or more predisposing factors such as old age, poor diet, illness or medication. Over half the heat produced by the body can be lost through the uncovered head and neck, some thing most people don't realize be cause the head and neck don't become chilled as rapidly as some parts of the body. Hands and feet are the first to become cold even though most body heat is lost from the head and neck. The key to any system of insula tion is trapped air.

Dieters are more successful when family and friends support their efforts. That doesn't necessarily mean that you, as the support per son, have to go on a diet, too. There are many types of supportive activities. For example, talk about dieting and help the dieter plan nutritious low calorie menus that he or she can stick with for a lifetime. Work within the framework of familiar family food habits to achieve a gradual weight loss (one to two pounds per week). Count calories together and help the dieter learn the size of suitable portions. Smaller plates give the illusion of larger helpings. Be willing to take higher calorie desserts and snacks out of home meals. Cake, pie, ice cream and chips may be too much of a temp tation to the dieter. Be supportive by eating such desserts when you're away from home. Be aware that beer and alcohol contribute un needed calorics. Help the dieter substitute lower calorie beverages such as iced tea. When eating away from home with the dieter, be willing to patron ize restaurants that offer ala carte and low-calorie choices. Help the dieter to make wise food selections. as well as to everyone breathing the smoke from your chimney. Don't burn overnight fires. Let the fire burn out after you go to bed. If you need heat, use another fuel source or an electric blanket. Slow, smoldering overnight fires waste wood and are a major source of wood smoke pollution. If you have an alternate heat source, dont use your wood stove on days when pollution levels are high. Fully weatherizc your home. It will hold heat longer. it Fair" set Jan. 20 A "4-H Idea Fair" will be held Saturday, January 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Obsidian Jun ior High School in Redmond.

As a person warms up through exercise, outer layers can safely be removed. Clean silk carefully While pure silk can be pure lux ury to wear it can also be pure trouble to keep clean. When you invest in clothing made . of silk, you must be prepared for high dry-cleaning bills. Some light-weight silk fabrics, such as crepe de chine, are hand washable, but afterwards they need careful ironing and smoothing to get them back into shape. A major problem with silk is that moisture of any kind can leave lightened areas on the fabric. Experienced professional clean ers with the proper skills and equip ment can usually rid silk garments of these lightenend areas caused by water, food, beverages or deodor ants. But if the wrong dyes or chemi cals were used in processing the silk fabric, it may be impossible to re store an even color of a silk gar ment. In this case, consumers are advised to return the clothing to the manufacturer or retail store where it was purchased. Silk fabrics are very strong, except when they come in contact with the aluminum chloride of anti perspirants and deodorants, which is just as damaging to silk as pers piration. Protect silk clothing by pinning underarm pad protectors to the garment. You can also help the dieter estabish new eating behaviors that cut caloric intake. For example. . don't eat in front of the television set. Learn to eat slowly, enjoying family conversation during meals. Encourage the dieter to exercise by participating yourself. Try walk ing in place of "couch potato" activities like TV watching. I n addi tion to buring off calories, exercise is a good substitute when tempted to eat. When it comes time to celebrate, downplay food and drink. Birth days, Christmas and other holi days are just as special with less food and more family interaction. Be aware that your own behav ior candetera family member who is dieting. Be understanding when weight-loss stalls. Don't scold the dieter for not losing. If they leave food on their plates, praise them, then help them make better esti mates the next time they serve themselves. If you're serving, dish up ".all amounts first, then offer second helpings and lower-calorie choices. This will cut waste as well as waist lines. Above all. remember that a change in food habits is the most important outcome of weight re duction activities. Permanent changes will help the dieter to keep off pounds that are lost. Your con tinuing support will be needed.
