Don't assume that the information is accurate just because it's in print! There is nothing magical about eating for good health. Healthy eating means including a variety of foods in your diet. Include fruits vegetables, milk milk products and meat meat substitutes to get the nutrients that you need. Be wary about promises that food is magic. Personal testimoni als about food cures Rive people great hope. Howeverthe claims are usually exaggerated. If eating a food seems to have made a health difference. You may need to credit it to a placebo effect. When some one really believes that something will happen, it may. But, that doesn't meun that it will work for the next person. You can waste money by follow ing the advice of an unqua'ificd nutritionist . worse vet, vou could endunger your health it you fail to seek prompt medical treat ment for diseases.

Insects increase in winter Information Provided By: OSU Warm Springs Extension 1134 Palute Street PO Box 430 Warm Springs, OR 97761 (503) 553-32383239 Winter's lower temperatures other objects carried inside. chase small insects of all sorts into Oregon homes. Many of these insect pests are a simple nuisance, but some can cause damage in the home. Insects come in through open doors and windows or on firewood Ventilation necessary Now that the cooler weather means you'll be doing more craft and home improvement .projects indoors, protect yourself with good ventilation. Many common materials used around the home should be used only with adequate ventilation. Read the product labels carefully . to determine whether or not the product can be used indoors or requires special ventilation. Opening one window in a room is probably not enough to insure adequate ventilation. Open two or more windows, turn on a portable fan to create a draft out a window, andor turn on a good exhaust fan to improve the ventilation in a room. Avoid working for too long with materials you know give off hazardous fumes. Products which should be used only with good' ventilation include paint strippers, glues and adhe sives, paints, sealers, varnishes, strong cleaning products, fungi cides and insecticides. Dizziness, drowsiness or other symptoms of sickness are clues that your ventilation is not good e nough. If any of these symptoms occur, get out of the area and call your doctor. Pay special attention to children who may be helping or playing near the area where you are work-' ing on a project. Help your child ren develop an awareness of safe practices by explaining how and why you are improving the venti lation for your project area. Some of the more important pests include termites and carpen ter ants, that can cause structural damage to the home. Insects that can harm clothing and household furnishings include earwigs, sow bugs and pillbugs, carpet beetles, silverfish, firebrats and clothes moths. Insects that contaminate food stuffs include ants, cockroaches, bran bugs and meal moths. Non-damaging insects that mi grate indoors to overwinter may include yellow jackets, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, box elcjcr bugs and an assortment of insects that are found in and around firewood. The key to controlling these Boneless pork better Compare the steps necessary for a retailer to get bone-in pork cuts ready for the meat case with the effort needed to prepare customer ready boneless packages and it's easy to see why the boneless pork revolution is underway. There's a lot more labor, and more costs, involved with bone-in cuts. With boneless cuts, meat managers don't have to touch a saw to trim a lot of fat consumers don't want. With the boneless pork, we just portion it out with a knife, wrap it and it's ready for sale. With less labor, we get a value-added pro duct for consumers that's worth more to us in the meatcase. Boneless pork also offers longer shelf life, an important factor in the retail arena. For example, a bone- You are unique.... Celebrate You! Celebrate you. You are worth celebrating. You are worth everything. You are unique. In the whole world there is only one you. There is only one person with your talents, your experiences, your gifts. NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE! We often underestimate our importance. God only created one you, precious in his sight. You have immense potential to love, to care, to create, to grow, to sacrmce, it you oeiieve in yourself. I believe in you. It doesn't matter your age, or your color or whether your parents loved you or not. Maybe they wanted to but couldn't. Let that go. It belongs in the past. You belong in tne now. It doesn't matter what you have been. The wrong you may have done. The mistakes you have made. The people you have hurt. You are forgiven. You are accepted. You are OK! . You are loved in spite of everything. So love yourself and nounsn yourseir. Be gentle with yourself, indulge yourself. And ueieorate you! Begin now. Start anew. Give Yourself a new birth. Today. You are you and that is1 all you need to be. S You are temporary, here today and gone tomorrow. But today, today can oe a new beginning, a new thing a new life. So celebrate you. And live each day to the fullest. Get the most from each hour, each day, and each age of your lite. Then you can look forward with confidence. And back without regret. Be yourself.. .but be your best self. Dare to be different, and to follow your own star. Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul. Believe that those you love, love you. Learn to forgive yourself for your faults. or this is the first step in learning to forgive others. Listen to those whom the world may consider uninteresting. For each person has, in himself, something of worth. Disregard what the world owes you. And concentrate on what you owe the world. Forget what you have done for your friends. And remember what your friends have done for you. No matter how troublesome the cares of life may seem to you at times, mis is still a beautiful world and you are at home in it, as a chjld is at home in his fathers house. When you are faced with a decision Make that decision as wisely as possible, hen forget it. he moment of absolute certainty never arrives. Above all remember that God helps those who helD hemseives. Act as if everything depends on you. hen pray as if everything depends on God. You are a very special person and I am looking forward to knowing you better & sharing your successes. Ruth Kahn less pork loin arrives at the retail er's door in Cryovac bags that have shelf-life of about 21 days com pared with about five for bone-in loins. If retailers run weekend specials on bone-in chips and sell less than expected, they're stuck on- Mon day. Their only choice is to put the chops in the freezer, and a lot of consumers don't like to buy frozen pork. With boneless loins, retailers can open one or two Cryovac bags at a time as needed, with any left un opened able to be used the follow ing weekend. With bone-in loins, retailers are more apt to underbuy to avoid having to go to the freezer. So boneless cuts help avoid out of stock rows in the pork meatcase, which equates to more sales and profits for the industry. Packer, of Stop'n Shop, agreed that the Cryovac-packaged bone less pork lets retailers stock bone less cuts seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. He added that it also allowed retailers more flexibility in their meat purchases. unwanted visitors is sanitation. Firewood suspected of containing insccis should be left outdoors until burned. . A vacuum cleaning under fur nishings; along the base of walls, in corners, and at the edge of the ceiling, will go a long way in controlling many insects in the home. Control of pests that infest foodstuffs is similar. Keep all cereal products in glass or metal containers with tight-fitting lids. Keep food storage and preparation areas clean. ' Spilled foodstuffs provide a ready source of food for insect pests. Don't forget to clean under and around the stove and refrig erator. The original containers in which most food materials are purchased, including pet food, are usually not sufficient protection to prevent an infestation of insect pests. Store large amounts of flour, cereal products, dried fruits, or dry pet food in metal containers with tight-fitting lids. Tank could help You can lead a cow to water and keep it out of the stream. A study lust winter found that if cows hud an alternate source of water besides a stream alone, they would spend less time in the stream, where they can wreak havoc on riparian soil and vegeta tion, water quality and fisheries. Some environmentalists say, 'Fence all the streams,' to keep the cows out, this is extremely expen sive. . A less expensive solution is first; what would happen if you set out a slock tank for cows to drink from? Would the cows stay out of the stream more of the time? With a grant from the Gover nor's Watershed Enhancement Board researchers designed a sim ple experiment to look at the amount of time cows spent near a central Oregon stream if they also had an alternative source of water nearbv. Thev compared this with the amount of time cows spent in the stream when it was their only source of water. The difference was dramatic. So far, researchers have found that in the winter, if an alternative water source is provided during the feeding, there is almost a 20-fold reduction in the amount of time a cow will spend time in a stream. Each cow that had access to a water tank spent about one and one half minutes in the stream per day. In the pasture without a water tank, each cow averaged over 23 minutes per day in the stream. Through next summer col leagues will try similar experiments to see if cows' time in stream areas can be reduced in other seasons of the year. Ultimately what we hope to find out is where and how alternative water sources can be placed to best protect the streams. Marketing seminar set The winter presents an opportu nity of a lifetime.

This is a good time to remember that enerirv used or Check, clean air filters regularly Two of the best things you can do for your room air conditioner are also the easiest-checking and cleaning the air filter. The air filter collects dust, lint and other particles from the air before it passes over the cooling coils. A dirty filter is the number one cause of poor performance and service calls, say appliance experts from Whirlpool Corporation. By simplv checking the filter regularly and cleaning or replacing it as needed, you can help assure peak performance throughout a long, hot summer. For air conditioner maintenance, follow these steps: Disconnect the power cord. Remove the front panel and clean it with warm water. Dust the control panel with a soft dry cloth. Never use cleaners of any type. Remove and vacuum the fil ter. If it's very dirty, wash it in warm water and a mild detergent. Better still, replace the filter with a new one. Dust off the condenser coils and cooling fins on the outdoor side of the unit. . About once a year, inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages, check the fan, and oil the fan motor, if necessary. Consider bleach in laundry When used correctly, chlorine bleach can be a good ally when doing the laundry, say Whirlpool Corporation home economists. It joins the enemy ranks, however, if used improperly. Chlorine bleach helps with some soil and stain removal, whitens some fabrics and acts as a disinfectant. To help keep your summer wardrobe at its whitest and bright est, follow these tips: First, read and follow gar ment care label instructions for use or no use of bleach. Use a bleach dispenser, if your washer has one. If not, dilute the bleach with one quart of water and 4-H clubs open It's not too late to sign up for 4-H. Currently we have twelve clubs actively running: Grooming Yarn Screening Beginning Beadwork Advanced Beadwork Pen Pal Quilting Baseball Card Collection Search & Rescue Story Telling Beginning Cooking Shawimaking Basketball Other clubs will not start until a later date, most likely in January. While others are put on hold due to no leader(s). To find out more about the clubs call OSU Exten-sion4-H Program and ask for Arlene and or Tina. Or drop by our office and pick up a registra tion form. add it to the washer alter it has filled with water. Never allow undiluted chlo rine bleach to come in contact with clothing. It can damage color and fabric. Use chlorine bleach on white or colorfast cottons. Do not use it on wool, silk, acetate or rayon. Test an item's "colorfastness" by making a solution of one table spoon of bleach and !4 cup of water. Put a drop or two in an inconspicuous spot on the fabric (an inside scam, for example) and check it for color loss. For stains, mix !4 cup chlorine bleach with one gallon of water in a sink or pail. Soak stained items in the solution for five minutes. Chlo rine bleach is not effective on protein-type stains (egg, grass, blood). Use an enzyme pre-soak product for these.

The good news is that reducing energy use saves money, which will help offset inevitable increases in energy costs. Smart use of laundry appliances saves energy and dollars. In the United States, 17 percent of the energy consumed by home owners goes for heating water for household use. Use warm and cool water set tings as much as possible. For lightly soiled items use warm wa 'ter; save hot water for heavily soiled loads. Special features on the washer can save you money; for example, soak cycles help to remove stub born stains in one washing. In structions on the detergent box should be followed carefully be cause ovcrsudsing causes the wash ing machine motor to work harder. Conserve energy and dollars when drying clothes; don't over load the dryer or overdry the clothes. Your instruction manual gives the proper settings and dry ing times. On the other hand, don't dry just one or two items at a time. Of course, line drying, either inside or outside, is the ultimate energy saver! Clean the lint filter on both washer and dryer after each load. Remove lint from the dryer outside vent. To eliminate much of your ironing, remove all garments from the dryer as soon as the cycle is finished. Iron large amounts of clothes at at time to avoid heating the iron too often. Iron fabrics requiring lower temperatures first and work, up to those needing higher heat. Use the lowest tem perature that will do the job.
