See that an atmosphere of warmth and ac ceptance is provided to help children feel comfortable. Work individually as well as collectively with all children. Especially in helping to set goals, plans activities and evaluate progress. Recognize and allow for individual differences. Youth very in abil ity, interest, desires areas of sensitivity and goals. The progress of the individual can best be rewarded by praise from the person working most closely with the child rather then by comparison of his work with other children. Youth will compare themselves to others as they assess their progress. The parent or the teacher must help them learn to evaluate their progress in comparison to their earlier efforts, rather then to others. Recognize that competition can be cruel. Youth should be given the opportunity to elect individually whether or not to com pete without being pressured. Recognize that the ability and willing ness to accept responsibility is learned through opportunity and practice. Decision making is learned through practice in re viewing alternatives, making a choice, set ting goals and evaluating progress. Use a democratic approach. Work with children to make decisions jointly. (Oregon State University Extension Pro gramcopied from, "understanding Boys and Girls," University of Missouri, Colum Nnvemher is National Diabetes Month and offers a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about diabetes. , L Why do I need to see a dietitian? Regis tered dietitians (RDs) have training and expertise in how the body uses food. RDs who understand diabetes can teach you how the food you eat changes your blood glucose level and how to coordinate your diabetes medications and eating. Do you know how many calories you should eat each day? How to cut down on the fat in your meals? How to make eating time more interest ing? An RD can help you learn the answers to these, and lots of other, questions. Your dietitian will work with you to create ahealthy eating plan that includes your favorite foods. 2. Can I eat foods with sugar in them? For almost every person with diabetes, the answer is yes! Eating a piece of cake made with sugar will raiseyourblood glucose level. So will eatingcom onthecob,atomatosandwich,orlimabeans.The truth is that sugar has gotten a bad reputation. People withdiabetes can anddoeatsugar.Inyour body, it becomes glucose, but so do the other foods mentioned above. With sugary foods, the rule is moderation. Eat too much, and 1) you'll send your blood glucose level up higher than you expected; 2) you'll fill up but without the nutri ents fiat come with vegetables and grains; and 3) you'll gain weight So, don't pass up a slice of birthday cake. Instead, at the nextmeal.eatalittle less bread or potato sure to take a brisk walk to bum some calories. 3. Why does losing weight help my diabe tes? Weight loss helps people with diabetes in two important ways. First, it lowers insulin resis tance. This allows your natural insulin (in people with type 2 diabetes) to do a better job lowering blood glucose levels. If you take insulin or a sulfonylurea, losing weight may allow you to quit taking it Second, it improves blood fat and blood pressure levels. People with diabetes are arx)utrwceaslikelytogetcardiovasculardisease as most people. Lowering blood fats and blood pressure is a way to reduce that risk. 4HowcanIcutthefatinmydiet?Hereare some beginning bints. See a dietitian for more advice.

Avoid fried foods-bake, broil, or roast vegetables and meat instead. 5. Are some fats better than others? Yes. Monounsaturated fats are the healthiest for your body. Nuts-like almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and peanuts-and avocados contain this type of fat Choose olive or canola oil for cooking. Polyunsaturated fat is the next healthiest fat This is found in margarine, com oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, and mayonnaise. Avoid saturated fats like butter, lard and meat fat, bacon, and shortening. There are lower-fat versions of satu rated fats like sour cream and cream cheese. A healthy diet includes less than 30 of calories from fat, with less than 10 of these from saturated fat 6. WhatfoodscanIeataIotof?Forgetabout eating with abandon.

What can I do if I overeat over the holidays? Put on your walking shoes and head for the pavement Instead of increasing your TV time, spend your extraholiday hours making sure you take your 30 or 45-minute walk once (or even twice) a day to lower blood glucose levels. 8. Can I use all the artificial sweetener I want? Artificial sweeteners are safe for every one except pregnant or breastfeeding women, who should not use saccharin, and people with phenylketonuria, who should not use aspartame. Calorie-free sweeteners like aspartame, saccha rin, andacesulfame-K won'tincreaseyourblood glucose level. The sugar alcohols- xylitol, man nitol, and sorbitol-have some calories and do slightly increase blood glucose level. Eating too much of any of these can cause gas and diarrhea. 9. How much weight should I lose each week? Limiting your weight loss to 1 pound a week will keep you healthy. Losing more than a pound a week probably means that you are denying yourself the water and nutritious foods American Creme horses are used as pleasure j i horses, for exhibition purposes, as paraae ana flag bearers, and as saddlehorses. American White Horse The American White Horse has snow-white hair, having originated on the White Horse Ranch, Naper, Nebraska in 1906. Appaloosa Appaloosa horses originated in northeastern Oregon, southeastern Washington and the bor dering area of Idaho. Early ancestors of the Appaloosa were introduced into Mexico by the early Spanish explorers. The Nez Perce eventu ally came into posession of some spotted strays and bred them for their color, as well as for war, racing and hunting buffalo. For many years, the Appy was exclusively Nez Perce, but the War of 1877 resulted in their being scattered throughout the West The name Appaloosa seems to be derived fixMntheFrerKword'Pal()use,"rraninggrassy prarie. Appaloosas can always be distinguished from other spotted horses by examining the hoofs, as they are sniped vertically black and white.

A drink is a 5-ounce glass of wine, a 1 2-ounce light beer, or 1-12 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. Make sure that your medicationsdon'trequire avoiding alcohol, and get your doctor's okay. 11. Isn't glucose control easier if I eat the same things evayday?Prorjably,butte of blood glucose control isn't very nutritious, not to mention boring. One of the keys to nutrition is eating a variety of foods eachday. By testingyour blood glucose about an hour after meals, you can learn how different foods affect you. Over time, you will be able to predict how foods, and combinations of foods, will raise your blood glucose level. 12. What v itamins will help my diabetes? If you have a vitamin OTrnineral deficiency, itcould be causing problems with your glucose control. Forinstance, one studyfoundtrattakingthe trace element chromium improved glucose control in subjects who had a chromium deficiency. More studies need to be done. If you eat nutritiously, choosing a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, andmeateachday.youdon'tneedtotakevitaniin supplements because of diabetes. 13. Are there herbs that will help my diabetes? Many herbs supposedly have glucose lowering effects, but there are not enoughdata on any herb to recommend it for use in people with diabetes. Herbs are not considered food by the Food and Drug Administration and are not tested for quality or content Therefore, products can be promoted as helping health conditions without having to show evidence of this. Discuss the herbal dietary supplements you find appealing with your doctor or dietitian before trying them. They may interact poorly with your diabetes medication.

I ini77An horses trace back to 1504. when Andalusian stallions were crossed on Spanish Barb mares. In 1580, 6 stallions and 27 mares were shipped to the village of Lipizza, in what is now Bosnia, from which the breed got its name. Lipizzan horses are noted for their suitability in dressage. Although foals are bom dark, they turn white at 4 to 6 years of age. About one in 600 remains black or brown throughout life. When this happens, it is considered good luck. Morocco Sported Horse Morocco Spoted Horses originated in the United States, having the same ancestry as the Appaloosa. The secondary color, white, must comprise not less than 10 percent not including white on the legs or face.

Natural Resource by Zach del Nero FlrtandWttdi Over die past year, we have focused a lot of attention towards weed control. Just lately, prescribed fire has been a "hot" topic. I get a lot of questions about the use of fire to control weeds. Are we applying fire to rangcland and forest meadow areas for weed control? Fire is a very useful and effective tool in many appli cations -but not for all. Weeds are plants growing where we don't want them. This can include plants that are getting "out of balance" with the area. Good examples of this are junipers and sagebrush in the range and conifers moving into mountain meadows. We don't usually think of this as "weed control"- if s more likely referred to as "vegetation management" - but the principle is the same. The problem is, these plantstrees are moving in and replacing the plants we want. In the He He area, resource managers ap plied fire to a meadow to reduce the advance ment of trees. These trees were moving in and reducing the roots and grasses. This same technique is used in huckleberry sites to keep the trees from taking over completely.

Check potatoes in storage and remove any going bad. Western Oregon: Plant garlic for harvest next summer. Western Oregon: Bait garden, flower beds for slugs during rainy periods. To prevent possible spread of leaf diseases, rake and destroy leaves from fruit trees that were diseased this year. Place mulch around berries for winter protection. Tie red raspberry canes to wires; prune to 1 foot above the top wire or wrap the canes around the top wire. Check for holes made by crown borers at base of plant treat with registered insecticides if seen. Western Oregon: Good time to transplant landscape trees and shrubs. Prune roses to "knee-high" to prevent winter wind damage. Still time to plant spring-flowering bulbs, but don't delay. Renew mulch around perennial flower beds after removing weeds. Western Oregon: Take cuttings of rhododendrons and camellias for propagation; propagate begonias from leaf cuttings. Place mulch of manure over dormant vegetable garden area. A 3- to 4-inch layer of leaves spread over the garden plot prevents soil compaction by rain. Cover rhubarb and asparagus beds with strawy manure. Plan erosion control; use mulches, fir boughs, etc., to prevent compaction from rain and from soil washing. Moss appearing in lawn means too much shade, poor drainage, low fertility, soil compaction, or thin stand of grass. Watch for wet soil and drainage problems in yard during heavy nuns. Tiling, ditching are possible solutions. Rake and compost leaves that are free of diseases or insects. Provide winter protection to built-in sprinkler systems; drain the system, insulate the valve mechanisms. Reduce fertilizer applications to houscplants. Prepare lawnmower, other garden equipment for winter storage. Drain and store hoses carefully to avoid damage from freezing. Tie limbs of upright evergreens to prevent breakage by snow or ice. Plant window garden of lettuce, chives, parsley. Plant shrubs and trees that supply food and shelter to birds, such as sumac, barberry, and holly. Clean and oil tools and equipment before storing for the winter. Give winter shelter to tender evergreens; protect from drying wind. Place a portable coldframe over rows of winter vegetables. Trim chrysanthemums down to 4-6 inches after they finish blooming. Register with the local office of the OSU Extension Service to become a Master Gardener volunteer. OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SGRV1C6 . notables- other tiling, these ideas are nothing new -Native People have been using these methods forever. As for juniper, fire control and overgrazing by livestock have nearly eliminated fire from the range system - and the juniper and sage brush species have been able to really take over. Applying fire to this system can do lot of good to knock back the junipers and let grasses take over again. This has benefits for wildlife, water quality, soil conservation, and for increased forage quality for livestock. So, how about fire and noxious weeds? Noxious weeds are introduced (non-native) species that are capable of moving in and taking over. You know a lot of these already: chcatgrass, medusahead, knapwecdsa, etc. So, can we just bum up areas infested with these weeds and take care of it? Nope, bummer. The fact is, many of these weeds actually like fire. When chcatgrass invades a system , it alters the fire cycle (time table of fires) so that bums are more frequent For example, chcatgrass areas around Boise, Idaho burn every 3-5 years now. That frequency does not allow native plants to recover. Many of our native grasses and shrubs are used to a fire frequency of maybe 15-60 years. Another thing about cheatgrass, when you do burn an area - the following year's seed production is increased dramatically, that's how cheatrgrass gets so much seed and increass after fire. We can use livestock grazing on cheatgrass to help knock it back in combination with some prescribed burning and seeding of desirable species. Many of the other noxious weed species we deal with (medusahead, knapweeds, etc.) are also well adapted to fire. So, restoration of infested areas gets more expensive and more complex. There is no one "cure-all" forgetting our lands back in shape, fire is an effective tool when coupled with other methods such as seeding, biolgical and chemical controls, and responsible livestock management.
