The Citizen, 2006-10-26, Page 24Challenge: No time to prepare a healthy meal
Solution: Planning and shopping ahead may seem like a time-consuming effort
initially but over the long run can help save time and money, reduce stress, and
improve nutrition intakes.
• Get organized — stock your cupboards, fridge and freezer with basics that will
help you pull together nutritious meals in a hurry. These include:
— Grain Products: whole grain bread, cereal, pitas and flour tortillas; pasta and
rice.
— Vegetables and Fruit: fresh vegetables and fruit in season as well as a variety
of canned and frozen vegetables and juices.
— Milk Products: milk, yogurt and cheese.
— Meat & Alternatives: meat, fish, poultry; eggs; canned fish; canned beans and
lentils; nuts and seeds; tofu and soy products, and peanut butter.
— Other foods: butter, soft margarine, vegetable oil (canola, safflower,
sunflower, corn, olive); sugar, honey, syrup; mustard, ketchup, salsa, vinegar,
soya sauce, and spices.
• Plan ahead — Choose three or four main dinner meals to have during the week
and make a list of items needed. Be sure to include something from each of the
fbur food groups in Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating. Buy all the
ingredients you heed ahead of time to avoid unnecessary trips to the store. Post
the menu plan on the fridge so everyone knows what's for dinner. Leave out
simple instructions or the recipe so- that whoever gets home first can start the
preparation or cooking.
• Make only one meal — No one has time to be a short order cook for different
family members at different times. Avoid cooking one !ileal for each person — no
matter what time they get home. Store leftovers safely in the refrigerator for
latecomers to heat up when they get home.
• Share the tasks — Younger children can set the table, older kids can help with
food preparation and everyone can help with the cleanup. Assign jobs to share the
load and so everyone knows what is expected of them.
• Make life interesting — Try a new recipe or new food every once in a while — ask
family members to find and suggest recipes that they would like to try. Remember
variety is the spice of life!

Farmers compete to be OFA convention delegates
By Keith Roulston
Citizen staff
For the first time in years there
was competition, at the annual
meeting of the Huron County •
Federation of Agriculture, to be
delegates at the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture's annual convention.
The need for elections was
perhaps indicative of the angry
mood of Federation members at
Thursday's meeting in Seaforth.
Later, during question period, they
took out their frustration on OFA
vice-president Paul Mistele as he
tried to defend the Federation's lack
of action over a resolution to ask
farmers to close snowmobile trails if
snowmobile clubs didn't lobby
government on their behalf for a risk
management program.
A day earlier the OFA board had
voted down a resolution from the
Huron Federation to close trails if
there was no support from the
Ontario Federation of Snowmobile
Clubs but it was a similar resolution
from the Glengarry County
Federation, which was approved by
the OFA board last spring that raised
the ire of questioners.
The issue was raised first by Bev
Hill of Varna, a leader of the
"Grassroots" campaign, who has
been promoting using the trails as a
bargaining point. He wondered since
the Glengarry resolution was
adopted and supposedly was OFA
policy, but now OFA had turned
down a nearly identical resolution
from Huron, what the OFA's policy
was.
Mistele said the Huron resolution
had received a lot of °debate by the
whole board of directors before
being turned down. Directors felt
there was more to be gained by
keeping the trails open, he said.
Mistele said the snowmobile
federation had committed to send the
message to its 260 member clubs
asking for support of farmers'
position. If they don't come up with
that support, he said, then "we would
push forward" with the second part
of the Glengarry resolution, the part

calling for the closure of trails.
Mistele admitted that somehow
the Glengarry resolution "fell
through the cracks" during the
spring and summer months.
He said that the executive felt
itwould be best to get a
communications strategy in place
first before making threats to the
trails. It was important to keep the
rural community together, he said.
"We'll make better progress is we
keep people on side."
But this conciliatory attitude
brought more and more questions.
Paul Klopp of Zurich said small
business would be hurt by the
closure of trails but it was also being
hurt by the farm income crisis in the,
farm community. Closing the trails
might wake up some politicians, he
said. "Yesterday (at the OFA
meeting) we allowed the politicians
another opportunity to get out of a
corner."
"I do believe that was one thing
(the traii closure) that might have
woke the Bay Street boys up," he
added to applause from the
audience. "By halfway through the
snowmobile season we might have
got some action."
Robert Emerson, president of the
Bruce County Federation of
Agriculture, said he had supported
the Huron resolution at the OFA
meeting. He told Mistele that he
would take him at his word that the
trail issue isn't over. "We need as
many lobbying partners as we can."
Incoming Huron County president
Steve Thompson of Clinton said
"I'm really ticked" with OFA. He
was scheduled to meet with local
snowmobile groups and he said he
wondered where he stood after
OFA's rejection of the Huron
resolution. "As far as I'm concerned
the Glengarry resolution is still
there," he said.
Hill will get his chance to ask
questions on the floor of the OFA
convention, Nov. 20-21 after being
elected a delegate from Huron South
along with Joe Vermunt and Wayne
Hamilton with Thompson as an

alternate. Representing Huron West
will be Bruce Bergsma, Wayne
Black and Marinus Bakker with
Richard Miller as alternate.
Huron East was the one region that
didn't have an election with Steve
Webster being acclaimed as
delegate. Later Neil Vincent and
Michael Becker were added in an
election among three names
nominated from other regions. Nick
Whyte will be the alternate.
Joe Vermunt defeated Michael
Becker to be the OFA regional
director for Huron South,
succeeding Marilyn- Broadfoot who
retired. Bruce Bergsma was
acclaimed to represent Huron West,
succeeding Walter Stalenhoef. Ken
Scott returns as director for Huron
East.
All executive positions were filled
by acclamation with Thompson as
president; Wayne Black as first vice-
president and Bakker as second vice-
president.
