Junior Farmers learn of stress
With the additional stress put on
farm families with the currently
hard economic times in rural areas,
stress and nutrition was one of the
topics Huron County Junior Farm
ers studied when they gathered for
their zone conference at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Com
munity Centre on Monday.
Cathy Thompson, nutritionist
with the Huron County Health Unit
spoke on the need for good
nutrition as one of the ways to
reduce stress. Other speakers at
the day-long conference included
Karen McLagan who spoke on
leadership styles and Richard
Hamilton who spoke on time
enrichment and goal setting.
Ms. Thompson pointed out that
stress should be a positive factor in
people’s lives, helping them a-
chievetheirbest. A life with too
little stress can be dull and boring,
she said. Up to the optimum point,
stress can help people be more
efficientandbe excited, buttoo
much stress can prevent people
from being efficient and take the
joy out of life. The key, she said, is
stress management.
She advised the Junior Farmers
to learn to ignore stressful situa
tions that they can’t control.
Coping with crises, she said, can
wear people down physically and
make them more susceptible to
physical illness.
She said in dealing with high
stress the first thing to do is
recognize the symptoms. Stop and
take a breather; even a deep sigh
can help short-circuit the physical
response to stress. Take a second
look at the situation and see if there
is anything that can be done to
change the situation, she said.
Listen to your own advice, she
said. Listen when your hidden
voice tells you something is not
really all that important.
Regular exercise helps fight
stress, she said, by helping burn
off excess energy created by the
body’s natural reaction to stress.
Nutrition is an important weap
on in fighting stress, she said,
because the healthier your body,
tothe more likely a person is
withstand stress. She advised the
Junior Farmers to eat good foods in
as close to their natural form as
possible. Generally young people
in Huron County are eating too few
good, wholesome foods and, al
though they are generally getting
enough vitamins, they’re consum
ing too much fat from junk foods
and not enough carbohydrates.
Traditionally, she said, men
don’t eat enough fruit and veget
ables. For food nutrition people
should emphasize whole grains,
fruit and vegetables and downplay
sugar, salt and alcohol. Meat and
meat alternatives should be as lean
as possible, she said.
About 80 attended the day long
conference which also included
such social activities as dance
lessons, classes on how to conduct
a meeting, a film on farm
marketing and wound up with a
banquet and dance in the evening.

4-H club
members
tour farm
BY JANICE HEISE
On Monday, Nov. 3, the Cheese
cakes gathered for their last group
meeting for Milk Mates It.
The meeting began with a
guided tour through Keith and
Bonnie Johnson’s (and family)
dairy barn. It was very interesting,
and informative.
The girls then went back to the
house and repeated the 4-H
pledge. Meeting 7 notes were read
through. I’m sure the whole club
will agree that this was a fun,
informative and tasty workshop.
The Achievement Night was set
for Nov. 27 which should also be a
good experience. Although, yes, it
was a sad time having to realize
there will be no more meetings, the
reminder that many more clubs
will be held in the future brighten
ed things up. I for one, intend to
join!
