COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL October 19, 2016 Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago Oct. 21, 1976 California Governor vists Cottage Grove Election year brings out candidates, and even Cottage Grove, especially so this year, has its share of people visiting town and courting votes. But it’s unusual for Cottage Grove to draw politicians of a national standing—which made last Friday’s visit by Governor Jerry Brown of California prob- ably the political highlight of the year. One can’t deny that the Cali- fornia governor is a politician of national standing. He entered the presidential race late, but still managed quite a showing, especially in Oregon where a visit shortly before the Primary gave him several votes. Though he lost his party’s nomination in New York City to Governor Jimmy Carter, Gover- nor Brown is not easily forgot- ten. A young man, he will ma try again for the presidency in another election year. He was in our area to cam- paign for Congressman Jim Weaver and Governor Carter. And part of that campaigning took the form of a train ride on The Goose, a fundraising event for the Weaver campaign. The weather last Friday after- noon was beautiful for a train ride. The Governor and Mr. Weaver appeared pretty much on time and a very brief cer- emony was held at The Village Green Depot. First Bob Barrett, a Cottage Grove city councilman, intro- duced Mr. Weaver and wel- comed the guests to Cottage Grove. Then Mr. Weaver in- troduced his guest, who was of course, Governor Brown. The California governor, wearing a gray pin-striped suit, said a few words about being back in Oregon, returning Mr. Weaver to Congress and elect- ing Jimmy Carter for president. Within a few minutes, the train was nearly full, and around 6 p.m., the old steam engine, Number 19, blew its whistle and started moving down the track. The Governor circulated with guests, murmuring a few words about Californians coming to Oregon and California politics. When Leroy Chatfi eld, direc- tor of programs and policies in the governor’s offi ce, was asked if Californians minded if their governor left the state to cam- paign for someone else, Mr. Chatfi eld said he hadn’t heard any complaints, although “you never know what people are thinking.” Mr. Chatfi eld said the Gov- ernor “consistently” worked 17 hours a day, seven days a week and didn’t take much time off. This apparently was not the case with the former governor, Ronald Reagan, who was out of the state for 110 days one year, Mr. Chatfi eld continued. And Mr. Reagan fl ew by Lear jet, while Mr. Brown and Mr. Chat- POLICE BLOTTER Oct. 11 Fire, HWY 99 A caller reported that her ve- hicle caught fi re at the entrance to a mobile home park.

F UHRMAN Continued from page 4A Phytate: Beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Phytate was once known as an “anti-nutri- ent,” a substance that prevents us from absorbing certain miner- als, however the phytate in plant foods might actually benefi t bone health. Studies have found that women who consume more phytate had either greater bone mineral density or less bone mass loss over time. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. The best foods for bone health are whole plant foods. Studies show that individ- uals with the highest consump- tion of fruit and vegetables have the strongest bones. Higher lev- els of oxidative stress are linked to lower bone mineral density, suggesting that the antioxidant content of fruits and vegetables may be partially responsible for their bone health benefi ts. Bone-healthy supplements: The major source of vitamin D for most people is sun expo- sure, and vitamin K2 is not eas- ily obtained from plant foods. It is important to get adequate amounts of these bone-support- ing vitamins, and supplements are useful. Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus absorp- tion, and Vitamin D defi ciency is known to increase the risk of fractures. Supplementation trials using vitamin K2 in post- menopausal women have shown a 77 percent reduction in the risk of hip fractures. The worst foods for bone health are those that cause cal- cium to be removed from bone and lost in the urine. Excess so- dium promotes the excretion of calcium. High caffeine intake is associated with increased bone loss and osteoporotic fractures. Soda, including diet and decaf- feinated soda, is associated with calcium excretion and bone loss. A high-nutrient (Nutritarian) diet, combined with the con- servative use of supplements assures individuals they are achieving maximum protection against later life disease.
