Epilepsy still a
major health problem
CLINTON - More than any other
disorder, epilepsy has been sur-
rounded by misunderstanding, prej-
udice and fear. -March is National
Epilepsy Month, during which Epi-
lepsy.r,is.rxlgducAirsg a.catn-
paign to raise awareness about epi-
lepsy and fund raise for research.
Locally Epilepsy, Huron -Perth -
Bruce have undertaken "Coffee Ca-
pers". Area restaurants have been
asked to donate .25 cents for every
cup of coffee sold on Friday,
March 20, 1992. Please watch4or
participating restaurants and enjoy
a cup of coffee while supporting
epilepsy, urges the chapter.
Research for epilepsy is currently
the most underfunded of all the
neurological disorders in Canada.
This situation is shocking in light
of the fact that epilepsy affects
more than one percent of the disor-
der. Epilepsy affects more people
than muscular distrophy, multiple
sclerosis or cerebral palsy com-
bined.
Epilepsy Canada believes every-
one should know these basic facts
about epilepsy:
• Epilepsy is not a disease and is
not contagious. It is a disorder of
the brain caused by temporary gen-
.-erauon .o l,:excess..;:alectoo¢hemical
energy inside the brain's cells.
• There is no single cause of epi-
lepsy. Epilepsy can be caused by a
number of events, such as birth
trauma or severe head injury, or
can even arise without being trig-
gered by any event at any age.
• There are different kinds of epi-
lepsy, ranging from convulsive sei-
zures to brief periods where the
person loses consciousness and ap-
pears to daydream.
• For the vast majority approxi-
mately 60 percent people with epi-
lepsy, medication can control their
seizures.
• Epilepsy is a major health prob-
lem, but because most people's re-
action to epilepsy, not epilepsy it-
self, which may cause the disabili-
ty.

According to a book of
crazy facts belonging to
my son, the onion is the
most widely used vegeta-
ble in the world. (I'll just
bet you can't wait to use
that interesting tidbit in
your next conversatiohl )
One sage wrote that if the
onion were not so com-
mon, it would be the most coveted of vegetables. They are de-
licious, eaten raw in a sandwich or salad, cooked and served in
a cream sauce or as a tasty ingredient in thousands of other
sauces and casseroles.
The origin of the onion is unknown, but in the fifth century
B.C. a Greek claimed that there was inscription on one of the
pyramids giving the sum spent tor onions, radishes and garlic
eaten by the slaves who built it.
Today, onions come in a wide variety of forms, from green
onions to yellow globes, to red, to sweet Spanish types, all
praised for their own unique properties and uses.
This recipe came to me from the Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food a few weeks ago, and when 1 first made it my
oldest daughter asked for a cheese sandwich for supper in-
stead. She reluctantly tried some and asked two nights later
when we could have fajitas again! It's quick, easy and tasty.
Chicken Fajitas
Peel and cut into bite size pieces:
4 medium onions.
Seed and slice into julienne strips and set aside:
2 sweet peppers (preferably one green and one red or yellow
or orange).
Slice into 1/3 in. wide strips ( or small pieces of some sort):
4 boneless chicken breasts (or enough chicken to make one 1
lb.l.
Blend together and set aside:
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. coriander
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper.
In a large pan or deep frying pan over high heat, heat 1 tbsp.
oil.
Add the onions and stir, gradually sprinkling with 2 tsp. of
the seasonings. Stir until evenly coated and add:
1 can of condensed chicken broth.
Cook uncovered over high heat about 10 minutes stirring fre-
quently until onions are soft and broth is reduced to about 1/3
cup. Remove the onions. (You can do everything to here earli-
er in the day and finish later if you wish. Just remember to
keep [he chicken refrigerated)
Add the chicken and pepper strips to the hot broth in the pan
and cook until chicken is no longer pink and most of the liquid
is gone. Stir in the onions until just hot. Serve on a platter
sprinkled with 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander or
parsley.
Spoon chicken mixture into a warm tortilla, top with salsa
a�d sour cream if desired, fold over and enjoy! This can also
be served with rice or in a warmed pita bread. Serves 4-6.
