Nutrition is becoming a priority for the fast-track crowd. Alternatives to sandwiches There can be more to lunch than sandwiches. For a few ideas try a baked potato topped with vegeta bles and low-fat cheese or yogurt, zucchini bread with a cold pasta or vegetable salad and low-calorie dressing. Let your imagination wander. Lunch doesn't have to be boring. Frozen food entrees Many companies have respond ed to the needs of their workers by providing a microwave oven for employees use. A number of frozen food entrees of 300 calories or less can now be found in the super markets. Pop one in the microwave and you've got a low-calorie, low fat lunch. There are many varieties to choose from, so read labels and take note of the sodium and fat content. And for kids Lunch bags for your kids can contain a variety also. Consider packing: Cheese cut in cubes. A variety of nuts including peanuts, cashews, or almonds. Raisins, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds. Peanut butter stuffed into cel ery sticks. Chicken or turkey slices, wings, or drumsticks. Hard-boiled eggs. When you do pack a sandwich, use tuna or chicken salad or sliced mcatloaf rather than the high-fat, Rules keep Simple rules keep picnic food safe to eat. Rule 1. Keep it clean. Dirty hands can spread the hepatitis virus and bacteria to food. Wash your hands after using the toilet. Take soap and water with you if none will be available at your pic nic site.

Because it is difficult to isolate from infected animals and because the virus is so fragile, it is often not diagnosed as the cause of illness. Diagnosed is further complicat ed by secondary infections that often mask evidence of infection caused symptoms manifested by bovine rasparatory diseases. Share some bubble magic r- . i u . L a n.A.

In addition to a protein-rich food, the lunch you pack should include a fruit or vegetable, or something special like popcorn, pretzels, a granola bar, fig bars, graham crackers, or oatmeal coo kies. For a beverage, provide fruit juice or mineral water. If the can or bottle is frozen, it will defrost by lunch time and it will help keep the rest of the food cold. Another alternative for lunch is a thermos of hot soup or chili. Let your imagination go. There are no hard and fast rules. You can even find a variety of containers and decorative lunch bags to carry your food in style. Gather supplies for "Mom are we almost there?" "Mom how much longer will it take?" Prevent boredom with a "goodie bag." Dont try to find "goodies" the week before your trip. Watch for them all year long.

Make sure you cook meat, poultry and sea food thoroughly to destroy Sal monella and other bacteria. Cook meat to a medium or well done stage. Poultry is done when it is no longer pink and the juice is clear colored. Cook fish until it turns opaque and flakes. If you're barbecuing, consider pre-cooking in the oven first.

Bubble in sheltered areas on windy days. 8. Protect suds from direct sun- sun weakens suds. 9. As with other similar products, if bubbles get in eyes, wash thoroughly with water. 10. Soap is an eye irritant. Use common sense. If you're bitten... If you're bitten by a dog, rinse the wound to remove saliva, then wash it thoroughly with soap and water, dry it, and cover it with sterile gauze. If the wound is deep and the tissue mangles, get medical help immediately. Even if the bite is small, check with a doctor as soon as possible to see if further care is needed and to evaluate the risk of infection. You may need antibiotics and a tetanus snot. Any dog bite that punctures the skin carries the risk of rabies. Because most dogs have been im munized these days, the disease is rare but not unheard of. It can be fatal in humans. If possible, the animal should be kept under ob servation for signs of rabies. If the dog cannot be found, you will need to consider rabies shots. Adolescence is not just about hormones. It's about messages. For instance, one developmental task teens face is to acquire greater cohesion and intimacy with their own peers, as part of the process of taking their place in a world larger than the family. But some parents might inter pret that desire to spend more time with friends and less with family as a rejection of the family and, in turn, reject the child or respond with anger. Peer groups and family are not necessarily always in conflict. Ado lescents need approval and a sense of belonging in both groups. Both are important. To give an adoles cent the message that peers dont matter or that a choice must be made between peers and family, is to give an adolescent a wrong message. There are many other confusing messages teens may get from their family and community that make adolescents more complex. Girls, for instance, tend to grow faster than boys and, because they look more mature, are expected to act more maturely than their real age may warrant. Gummed paper, from a school supply store. Children cut, lick, and stick it to create collages, paper dolls, pictures and more. Stamps. For toddlers and pre schoolers, save stamps from record and book club advertisements.

Keep hot foods hot (above 140 degrees) and cold foods cold (below 40 degrees). Refrigerate leftovers promptly. Bacteria will have a chance to grow if moist, protein-rich food is left at room temperature longer than 2 to 3 hours. Rule 4. If in doubt, throw it out. Don't take chances. If you aren't sure about the safety of your picnic leftovers, throw them out.

The "National Insurance Consumer Helpline" will handle a wide range of questions from callers, refer consumer complaints to appropri ate sources, as necessary, and send consumer and educational materi- Wasps can spoil party Uninvited guests can really spoil the party, particularly if they are yellow jackets, or other types of wasps, buzzing around your bar beque or picnic. Summer outings tend to attract these pests, especially if they have nests near the location that the recreation is occuring. Wasps, unlike bees, can sting many times. Bees sting only once because they leave the stinger in the victim. Wasps commonly nest in trees, large bushes, on the exteriors of buildings, in spaces in walls, on roofs, and in small holes in the ground, McNeilan says. Nests may be made of mud or paper depend ing on the type of wasp. Paper nests as large as basketballs have been found in shrubs and trees around home landscapes. Insecticides registered for wasp control usually contain diazinon or pyrethrin. Several of these products are sold in pressurized cans. For more information check with your local nursery or garden store. Nests should be treated after dark when the wasps are in for the night. Be careful if flashlights or lanterns are used. Yellow jackets may be aroused by the light and leave the nest. Treat the nest with insecticide following label di rections. If the nest cannot be located, traps containing an attractant may be the next best control. Commer cially prepared traps are available at most nursery and garden stores. Insurance helpline answers questions I aller, older-looking youths may be expected to act older and more responsible than they arc. I n addition, society itself may be confused about some of the changes of adolescence, and not have a clear message to give on some top ics. Sexuality comes quickly to mind. Some parents are upset that there are so many pregnant teens now. In reality, we don't have that many more pregnant teens than in pre vious decades. But what we have now are unwed pregnant teens. Society, itself, no longer clear on the relationship between marriage and sexuality, is giving unclear messages to teens about that rela tionship. Society's expectations have changed, and so have teen's as a result. To be an adult, in the simplest answer, means to be able to love and to work. That is what adoles cents are preparing for. Society is telling adolescents to grow up, and also telling them to remain child rento to stay in school and post pone adult responsibilities. It's a confusing time for everybody, but one that can be eased with better, more open and honest messages between all involved. travel in give them all ten dimes, nickels, or dollars and explain that for each nasty word you'll take away a dime. But remember allow vour Dig and divide spring bulbs Digging and dividing spring flower ing bulbs such as daffodils, tulips, crocus and hyacinth gives these colorful ornamental flowers a new lease on life. Dig, sort and divide spring flow ering bulbs in the summer. After wards, replant, or store the bulbs until late September when the weather is cooler. Digging and dividing these flow ers gives them room to grow prop erly and prevents plant diseases, should they occur, from spreading rapidly from plant to plant. When removing the plants from the soil, dig around the edge of the plant, clump soil and bulbs and lift carefully from the ground. Rather than washing the bulbs in water, simply knock the dirt off them, i Discard diseased, soft or rotten bulbs. Bulbs that are to be stored should be dried for a day or so. Spread bulbs on a wire tray that will allow air to circulate freely around them. Be careful not to crowd the bulbs together on the tray. Store the bulbs in a dark, dry area, such as a cellar or the back of a garage. Where possible, the stor als upon request. The helpline's three main spon soring organizations are the Amer ican Council of Life Insurance (ACLI), the Health Insurance Association of America (HIAA), and the Insurance Information In stitute (III).

Be cautious when shopping by telephone Staying home used to be a way to cut down on impulsive shopping. No longer. Now it's possible to run up credit card debt sitting in your living room and watching tele vision. Shopping by T. V. is big business and getting bigger. "While we've always had commercials, changes in the world of electronic credit have now made it possible for in home sales to become the main event. A dazzling number of items are for sale on television. You, the viewer, are encouraged to pick up your phone, call toll-free numbers and order by credit card." The "bargains" are sometimes illusion ary and buyers lose the chance to comparison shop. It often adds up to an increase in impulse buying and growing consumer debt. Be' cautious, stresses Alice Mills Morrow, OSU Extension family economics specialist.

Critical watering times in the garden are when sweet corn begins to show tassels, and when tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash are setting fruit. In addition, hot, dry weather -any period that causes plants to wilt for several days - can be ex tremely damaging to vegetable plants. With tomatoes, the result of lack of water is blossom and rot. Garden watering can be done in a variety of ways but using a gar den sprinkler, such as an impact or oscillating type, works well.

If the bulbs are to be replanted immediately, plant them in clusters with individual bulbs four to five inches apart. Well-drained, sandy soil with maximum exposure to sunlight is best. Work the soil to a depth of 12 inches. Plant tulips six inches deep; crocus, two inches; daffodils, seven inches; grape hyacinths and irises, three inches; and hyacinths, four inches. Set the bulbs firmly in the ground and press out any air pockets that form around them as the soil is filled in. A commercial fertilizer, such as a 5-10-5 combination, should be worked into the soil around the bulbs. Use one handful per cluster of three to five bulbs, or two pounds for each five by 10-foot plot of planted area. Bone meal is also a good fertil izer for bulbs. Use two tablespoons of bone meal per bulb and work into the soil beneath the location that bulb will be planted. Then soak the planted area to settle the bulbs.

To measure the amount of wa ter, place a can where it will collect water from the garden sprinkler. A thorough watering should keep gar den plants in good shape for five days, depending on weather and soil type. If water begins to puddle during irrigation, the sprinkler is putting out water faster than the soil can take it in. Crusted soil, which pie vents water from penetrating the soil, can be broken up with shallow cultivation. Also fertilizing the garden early in August will help fatten the harv est. Don't apply fertilizers high in nitrogen, however. Nitrogen ecour ages growth of leaves and stems at the expense of vegetable fruits, such as tomatoes. To encourage tomato fruits in stead of vines, apply a complete fertilizer such as a 10-10-10- com bination. Either broadcast the fertilizer over the planted row or brand it along the plants in the row. See the fertilizer package for application rate recommendations.
