Hensall Public School Gr. 4 student Brent Ingram, background, gets filmed by Royal Canadian Legion District C member Carl Zimmer for the Legion's Child 1.D. Video pro- gram. Junior Kindergarten, Gr. 4 and Gr. 8 students are filmed so police and other emer- gency agencies have a record of how the children look, walk and speak with profiles of their faces from all angles to help out in case a student goes missing. Each child walks up to a spot and says who she/he is, their age, their grade, who their teacher is and how they travel to school. The videos are kept at the schools (except for separate schools where the videos are stored at the Stratford education board office). District C Child LD. program chairperson Allan Fisher said al! Huron -Perth schools participate in the 12 -year-old program that hopefully never has to be used, adding the program has been activated once but thankfully the child turned up before the video was broadcast on TV or used by police. Varieties of mushrooms ONTARIO - White button mush- rooms are the largest part of the Ontario crop. They , range from white to cream and brown and vary from small "buttons" to jumbos. , Responding to a more so- phisticated market, growers are also producing other varieties: Shiitake (large, densely textured, cocoa -colored with umbrella -shape caps) Oyster (large, fluted caps, ti; lose- set gills, fine texture and pale, al- most translucent coloring) Portobello , (brown, flat-topped with exposed gills). Crimini (similar to white button with color ranging from. tan to dark brown). Buying and storing Good quality fresh mushrooms should be firm and free of blem- ishes. All varieties bruise easily and must be handled with care. Use fresh mushrooms as soon as possible after buying, however they will keep for several days in a cold vegetable crisper. For White But- ton, Crimini and Portobello, re- frigerate loose mushrooms- in--a- paper bag. Before use, wipe with damp cloth or rinse in cool water, then pat dry. Shiitake and Oyster varieties should be refrigerated in a contain- er covered with a damp cloth to prevent. drying. Before use, rinse briefly; pat dry. Mushrooms purchased pre- packaged can he refrigerated "as is".

Trim any dry stem ends. Shiitakes may have tough stems that need to be removed. Mushrooms are delicious raw on vegetable trays and in salads, or sliced and marinated in olive oil with garlic and parsley. They're a popular pizza topping and a fre- I quent ingredient in creamed veg- etable soups, omelettes, pasta sauc- es, quiches and rice dishes. Stuffed and baked mushroom caps are a standard party appetizer. Sauteed mushrooms are great com- bined with sour cream, ground pep- per and fresh herbs, served on toast. Shiitakes are a staple in many Chinese and Japanese dishes. Their somewhat woodsy, meaty flavor is superb in a stir -fry, casserole, rich broth and in various pasta dishes. Oyster mushrooms are the most delicate and need careful handling. Try them sauteed with minced gar- lic, parsley and olive oil. They' re also delicious brushed lightly with good quality olive oil and gently grilled. Nutrition Mushrooms arc a source of Vi- tamin C, riboflavin, niacin, folacin and fibre. A 2/3 cup serving con- tains only 12 calories. Before mushrooms were cultivat- ed, people ate the wild varieties. The Japanese were probably the first to grow mushrooms, raising Shiitakes some 2000 years ago. Today there are thousands' of mushroom varieties in the world of which only 25 are cultivated. The rest are not palatable. 96 NELSON ST., HENSALL ONTARIO 519-262-2527 FAX: 262-2631 "Soybeans, Corn" If you need trucks to transport your soybeans or corn from your farm to our elevator please call Mark Smith at 519-645-9369 or 519-522-1974.
