Teen years aren't easy for anyone
The tccn years aren't particu

Eeoplc who experience them first
and and for the first time.
But some problems we associate
with the teen years may have more
to do with how we perceive teens
Add variety to lunch
As working through lunch be
comes a common part of many
workdays, professionals are look
ing for healthier more interesting
alternatives to the standard roast
beef on rye. 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,

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.
If you handle raw meat, poultry,
or seafood, wash hands after

rus (bovine RSV) has only been
identified as an important raspara
tory pathogen within the past
decade. 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.
Do you remember how much
fun it was to blow bubbles when
you were a kid? Pass some of "the
good old times" down to your
children and or grandchildren by
making a bubble wand out of sev
eral wire coat hangers (see illustra
tion) and use the following bubble
recipe

high-sodium luncheon meats.
Make a switch to whole grain
breads, too.
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.
You may want to draw on your
"fun stash" during rainy days or
trips to the dentist.

Rule 2. Cook it well. 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.
Youll then be able to barbecue just

6. Bubbles are best on humid days.
7. 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.

skin, paper, and car seats.

safe to eat
Rule 3. Dont wait refrigerate.
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. These
people are more likely to get food
poisoning if they eat them: preg
nant women; infants and young
children; frail elderly; persons with
cancer or AIDS.

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.

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

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

economics specialist.

Garden vegetable plants face
several critical watering periods
throughout the summer growing
season. 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

age area temperature should not

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.
