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-

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.
