Eagle file photo
From April 6, 1967: About 270 square dancers from all
over the state and California attended the Mountain View
Swingaroo square dance spring festival at Alec Gay Hall
Sunday. With about 23 squares formed inside the hall,
the rest of the crowd danced in the parking lot next to the
building via speakers mounted outside. Bill Dalrymple of
John Day was the main caller, and was assisted by callers
from other attending clubs. The bus in front brought part
of the group here; others came by planes and cars. Visiting
club members were guests at a luncheon and a dinner.

CCC Camp Celebrates
Ninth Anniversary
Last Saturday, March 28,
Camp Canyon Creek, Com-
pany 6147, CCC, celebrated
the camp’s ninth anniversary
with an open house in the af-
ternoon and a free dance at the
Joaquin Miller Resort in the
evening. A courteous guide
met the guests and escorted
them over the camp, which
showed the efficiency of the
boys in all types of work.
Among the places of interest
was the library, which con-
tained a vast number of books
and magazines. There are
many classrooms and any boy
who has not graduated from
high school may complete
his course and receive his di-
ploma. The classrooms may
be made into one large room
or a number of small private
rooms in which they have a
stenographic room with many
typewriters. Shops for man-
ual training instruction are
equipped with all types of
shop machinery. The wood-
working showed beautiful
completed cabinets of differ-
ent types. There was a mod-
ern laundry, supply rooms for
both clothing and food, all of
which were systemically ar-
ranged and kept with utmost
accuracy. Their living quar-
ters were comfortable and
showed good housekeeping.
After completing this tour, ice
cream and doughnuts were
served in the mess hall. The
boys in the camp are from
Mississippi and Tennessee,
and are a splendid lot of boys.
They are greatly pleased with
the west and especially their
camp here in the mountains.
Trees get new home at
the park
Students from Grant Union
High School and the John
Day-Canyon City Parks and
Recreation Department joined
together Monday for a tree
planting and wildlife habitat
improvement project at the
Seventh Street Recreational
Complex. Under the direction
of Gene Emery, students plant-
ed a total of 75 to 80 trees do-
nated by Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife. Varieties
included poplars, hawthorns
and Russian olives, and they
were planted in three different
areas of the complex. The area
in which the Russian olive
trees were planted was first
seeded with a variety of grass
that will provide food for
birds. As it matures, the seed
and trees will provide habitat
for a variety of birds. Other
trees will be planted around
an abandoned gold dredge
pond at the complex, thanks
to a grant from the Oregon
Department of Forestry. Work
started this week by McKay
Excavating on dragging the
pond to remove silt and sed-
iment with hopes of making
the pond about 20 feet deep.
Once completed, ODFW will
stock the pond with trout. Im-
provements at the park site
will be ongoing throughout
the summer. The Park district
recently received notification
from the state that it will re-
ceive more than $50,000 in
Regional Strategies funding
for construction of a restroom
and concession facility at the
site. Construction is expected
to begin in July following the
close of the little league sea-
son.

Monument Sought For
Fossil Beds
In a scheduled meeting to-
day, Congressman Al Ullman
was to have met with Howard
Baker, and associate director
of the National Park Service,
concerning a national monu-
ment for a section of Eastern
Oregon including the John
Day fossil beds. According
to a report Tuesday in the Or-
egon Journal, the area would
include the fossil beds, the
Painted Hills near Mitchell
and the John Day river can-
yon. “Ullman believes the
rugged country is too-little ap-
preciated because it is seldom
visited. National monuments,
administered by the Nation-
al Park Service, are federal
properties but usually are
less developed than National
parks. Oregon has only one
national monument, Oregon
Caves. John Day fossil beds
and Painted Hills now are
small state parks, which might
easily be made national mon-
uments. Ullman said he saw
little need to buy private lands
for the monument. He said a
monument could include sep-
arate elements not linked geo-
graphically,” according to the
Journal. Jack Steiwer, mayor
of Fossil, has forwarded col-
ored photographs of the area
to aid the cause, according to
the Journal report.

Six hundred feet
A display of 600 shoes
walking up and down the
courthouse steps during the
week of April 22-28 will rep-
resent the 300 people who
were helped by the Victims
Assistance office last year.
“Victimization is a lot more
prevalent in Grant County
than the community realizes,”
said Karen Johnston, victim
assistance coordinator. “There
were 300 victims that walked
through our system during
the past year and that doesn’t
even touch the crimes that
weren’t reported.” The dis-
play gives the public a vi-
sual aid and represents the
victims of all crimes, from
violations to felonies. The
display is part of the Nation
Victims’ Rights Week com-
memoration. This year’s
theme is “Victims’ Rights:
Every Victim. Every Time.”
Organizations like Victim
Assistance hope to spread
awareness that will promote
laws, policies and programs
for victims, and show the
affects of crime. Victim As-
sistance is looking for shoes
of any size for display. Shoes
in good shape will be donated
to local charities. The public
is welcome to come and see
the display during Victims’
Rights Week.

It seems like everything has added sugars these days; from bread to pasta sauces to
ketchup.
It is important to be aware of how much sugar you are consuming. Most Americans get too
many calories from added sugars which can lead to health problems such as weight gain
and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Added Sugar
Added sugars include any sugars or caloric sweeteners that are added to foods or bev-
erages during processing or preparation (such as adding honey to your tea, or sugar to
your cereal). They are found obviously in sweet foods, such as candy, soft drinks, sports
drinks and other sweets. But, insidiously they also are found in pasta sauces and con-
diments, such as ketchup. The term “added” is key, because there are other sugars that
occur naturally in healthy, nutritious foods, such as milk (lactose) and fruits (fructose).
How Much Sugar?
The American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than 6 tea-
spoons and men no more than 9 teaspoons of added sugars per day. To put this into per-
spective, a 12 oz. can of regular soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, and the average
American consumes about 23 teaspoons of added sugars per day.
An important fact to keep in mind when reading nutrition labels:
4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon.
Names for Sugar
Spotting added sugar on food labels can require some detective work. Food and beverage
manufacturers list a product’s total amount of sugar per serving on the Nutrition Facts
Label; however they are not required to list how much of that sugar is added sugar vs.
naturally occurring sugar. The only reliable way to identify added sugars is to look at the
ingredient list.
The growing use of alternative sweeteners can make it difficult to determine which ingre-
dients count as sugar, because there are multiple sources of sugar with different names.
Here is a list of some common added sugars:
• Agave nectar
• Honey
• Cane Sugar
• Turbinado Sugar
• Brown sugar
• Corn sweetener
• Corn syrup
• High-fructose corn syrup
• Fruit juice concentrates
• Malt sugar
• Molasses
• Raw Sugar
• Maple Syrup
• Sugar molecules ending in “ose” (dextrose,
fructose, glucose, maltose, sucrose)
To reduce added sugars in your diet, try these tips:
• Drink water or other unsweetened beverages instead of sugary sodas or sports drinks.
That goes for coffee drinks too!
• When you drink fruit juice, make sure it’s 100 percent fruit juice and limit your portion
size to 4oz. Better yet, eat the fruit rather than drink the juice to get the fiber, as well.
• Choose reduced sugar varieties of syrups, jams, jellies, and preserves.
• Buy canned fruit packed in water or juice, not syrup. Drain and rinse with water to
remove excess syrup.
• Instead of choosing sweetened yogurt, try plain yogurt and top with fresh berries.
• When you treat yourself to a coffee drink, try it “half sweet”, or better yet, try it without
a sweetener.
Bottom Line
This is not going to be the first or last time that you hear this; MODERATION IS KEY!
Treat yourself occasionally, however don’t let sugar become too much of a sweet thing.
