Lucknow bake shop licensed to sell Ezekial, bread
Lucknow Shoppers n� longer have to go
to, Goderich, Wingham or Kincardine to
purchase natural food products as these
foods are available in ' Lucknow in the
natural food section at Armstrong
Bakery.
Proprietor and, baker George, Arm-
strong uses these products in his baked
goOds and "we have. always offered for
sale whatever we -had," says his wife,. .,
Frances who works in the business.
The Armstrongs have • always been
inclined to prepare their baking with the
natural goodness' of 'natural ingredients
and Frances. is especially enthusiastic
because -they are licensed to bake. and sell
Ezekial Bread, made with Ezekial flour, a
complete protein food.
Ezekial flour is made by Rityrna Foods
of Bayfield where Eugene Fox has taken
the ingredients listed in the Bible used to
make the bread which sustained the
prophet Ezekial during his year long fast.
The flollr is stone ground from organic-.
ally grown hard western wheat, barley,
rye, lentils, millet and . pinto beans,

making it a complete protein source.
While the ingredients are listed on the
label, the proportions are a trade secret,
says Fox.
Fox has fasted for 30 days eating only
bread made from the Ezekial flour three
times a day and ?water. He found the
bread to be totally/ sustaining and he lost
20 pounds. -
Frances says her Ludmow clientel have
really responded to the Ezekial bread and
vegetarians especially like it because it is
so sustaining and it is a complete protein
food. She says you would be surprised to
learn how many people in this area are
vegetarian.
Fox says the response to his product
has been overwhelming. Vegetarians,
people who want a healthier diet, people
who want to fast and people who just like
the bread, muffins, .cookies and pancakes
you can make with the flour are buying
Ezekial flour.
Fox says a meal of Ezekial pancakes is
filling and sustaining. People are surpris-
ed that they do not have to have a full
meat and potato meal to be satisfied and
the introduction of Ezekial flour to the
diet makes for healthier living. Frances
says it is good that we can say Ezekial
flour is complete protein because you
have to be careful of the claims you make
about a product. .
Armstrongs also make a Bethel bread
which has both white and Ezekial flour
and is a lighter loaf of bread than the
Ezekial bread. Ezekial flour is excellent in
muffins and makes delicious pancakes.
Frances says the &ekial flour can be
sunstituted tor regular Hour in conven-
tional recipes.
Other naturalfood products available
in the food section of the bakery include
whole- wheat flour, unbleached white
flour, bran and • wheat germ, grain
cereals, oat flakes, white rice flour, soy
flour, sea salt, brown rice, fresh spices,
prunes, apricots, figs, raisins and nuts;
sunflower seedsand flax seed.
If you. don't know what a product' is
used for or how to use it, please ask, says
Frances, the bakery staff is happy to'
explain.
Immersion committee member finds second language an asset...

county and the erosion of the rural base as
children were drawn away from their
resident schools to attend the immersion
program in an urban centre. The logistics
of offering total early French Immersion in
a county as expansive as Huron were
impossible, says Todd.
Some parents and members of the board
believed the Program should be offered in
the areas where interest in the program
warrants it, but Todd said she believes in
universal access and to develop a total
immersion program from 'kindergarten
throughout in •Goderich for example,
because there is interest there, would not
be fair to the children in other areas of the
county who could not attend the program
because it was not offered in their area. It
would not be fair to the taxpayers who
would be expected to pay for a program
' only afeW would have the opportunity to
take.
Todd said the committee decided it
Would be too.costly to bus Children to one
immersion centre in th.county and
parents, who had not considered , their
children would be riding a bus' for an hOur
each way to an iminersion program outside
their community, were reluctant to answer
whether they would still send their child to
inunersion if it was not located in their
community's school.
Another real concern of the committee
was. starting the program when. the
Ministry of Education provides initial
funding and then find the ministry changes
its priorities; down the road and Makes
another program' such as computers a
priority, leaving the board to fund an
immersion program already . in place
completely on its own.
The committee believed late immersion
was financially and logistically possible,
said Todd. Grade 7 and 8 children would
encounter few social problems, riding on
high school buses to the fran centre
where the . high school is located. Late
immersion programs would be offered in
several countytowns making it possible for
grade 7 and 8 students throughout the,
county to take advantage of the program
without moving away from home or
travelling long hours on a bus. The, late'
immersion program was seen as
compromise which could work. The board'
however, turned it down.
Second Language An A'sset
Todd says she still believes total early
immersion is the best way to learn a second
language. As a young child her parents
spoke only Dutch in. -the home -and while'
she answered in English,. she retained
enough of. the language that it made it very:
easy for . her to learn Dutch when she
travelled to Holland as a sixteen year old.
After three weeks in. the country, she was
confident enough of her abilityto speak the
language she would enter a store to make a
purchase without assistance from someone
who: spoke the language.
While she did not speak Dutch at home
before the trip, she had retained what's' he
had learned as a child even though she did
not ase it in the interim...and after being
immersed for three weeks, she found it
easy to become fluent in a very short time.
Her working knowledge of the language
has helped her as a nurse. at the Goderich
hospital becausemany people • in , Huron
county are of Dutch origin. The knowledge
--�f a -second language is helpful, she says.
