People around BY WAYNE STUBBS When the Social Services Com­ mittee of Huron County Council presented its report on Thursday, December 3 to the county council one of the questions concerned how many people were actually looking for work. Village of Bayfield reeve, David Johnston, asked the committee members about the number of people seeking work. When told there were a number of people on the welfare rolls looking for employment, the reeve countered that he has been looking for people to work for him for a long period of time. Johnston learned there are quite a few people wanting to work and he wondered why he couldn’t find some for his operation. Council learned that once in a while people abuse the welfare system. This is done by an individual or two who consistently go only to one or two businesses to see if there are any jobs available and when told no, the person seeking work has a form signed. When the same signature appears a number of times the unemployed person is removed from the welfare list. The councillors also learned that sometimes the reason given that people don’t want to work is Nutrition matters Taste your food before you salt it by lynn garrison NUTRITION CONSULTANT HURON COUNTY HEALTH UNIT Do you taste your food before salting it? Or do you automatically sprinkle salt on your food? If you do, you should try shaking the salt habit and get to know the real taste of food. Sodium is very important in the normal functioning of our bodies. It is required for maintaining blood pressure, controlling fluid levels in the body and transmitting nerve impulses. However, most Cana­ dians consume 10 to 20 times the amount ofsodium their body would use. Why shouldthisexcessive in­ take be of concern? Because of the link between sodium consumption and high blood pressure. Sodium is one of the factors known to affect high blood pressure. Some people can consume high levels of sodium without apparent effect on blood pressure, while lower levels of consumption can affect blood pressure in others. Those whose blood pressure is affected by sodium consumption are called “sodium sensitive”. At present there is no good way to predict who will develop high blood pressure. Therefore moderation of intake is a good preventative measure for /^INVESTMENTS FINANCIAL CENTRE 122 The Square Goderich 524-2773-K < 1-800-265-5503 because more money can be earned from unemployment or welfare than can be received from holding a regular job. On the subject of accepting a person to work for six months in a temporary job as a social services field worker, 15 applications had been received. Originally only seven had been received but that had doubled between the time the committee met and county council received the report. The executive committee report was also received virtually without discussion or change. County council j uggled one hot potato from the report. On the subject of vacations and pay for county employees it was suggested that if council agreed to give them a five percent increase yearly council members should also receive a similar increase in their pay for meetings. Reeve Thomas Cunningham of Hullett Township wondered about the rational of council not keeping pace with its employees and later havingtoboosttneir own pay so much taxes would have to be raised by a large percentage to ensure the council members received a fair increase in their annual pay. “Sooner or later we will have to face the electorate and if they’re upset by a large increase in their everyone to take. For those who already have high blood pressure, see your doctor for a referral to a dietitian for individual counselling Here are some tips for cutting back. •WHEN YOU SHOP - Beware that as the level ofprocessing of food increases, the amount of calories, fat, sugar and sodium usually increases as well. Try to choose the less processed form of a food. Even try buying ingredients to make your own soups, casser­ oles, sauces and baked goods. Also, curtail your purchase of highly salted snack foods eg. potato chips and pretzels. •IN THE KITCHEN - Reduce the amountoftable salt, onion salt, garlic salt, and boullion cubes you add to foods during cooking. Use less salt in your recipes or use herbs and spices instead. In other words re-educate your taste buds. •AT THE TABLE - Taste food before you salt it. If you still need salt, try just one shake instead of two. Or better yet, season with lemon juice, vinegar or season­ ings. These small changes in your food choices, can add up to a big difference in your salt intake, and help keep your family on the path of sensible eating. 10.3' , 3 Yr.
