Kirkton author taking book to U.S.
Elaine Gottschall says Americans are "hungry" for food and health info
By Adrian Harte
T -A Editor
KIRKTON - Elaine Gottschall said her goal is to get the
truth out there. Bit by bit, year by year, she has worked to
get the message across, but now she may be ready for the
big time.
Her book Food and the Gut Reaction has sold more than
70,000 copies in Canada since it was first published by the
Kirkton Press in June 1987, especially after she was inter-
viewed on the Dini Petty Show.
But now she has started to promote her work on the talk -
show, radio interview circuit in the United States, interest is
growing by leaps and bounds.
Gottschall's book deals in detail with food, diet, and the
profound effect it can have on overall health, as well as pro-
viding "miracle cures" for some illnesses, she said.
The food and diets it recommends are not "mystical or
voodoo" she explained, but are supported by hard scientific
research. That research, conducted by many universities is
still "in the library gathering dust". Even though re-
searchers have uncovered dramatic discoveries regarding
diet and food, Gottschall said the information just doesn't
get out to the medical community.
Many people after being diagnosed with illnesses, she
said, ask their doctors what they should be eating. Sadly,
she said. many are told "eat what agrees with you", or
"food has nothing to do with it".
In fact, said Gottschall, food can play a large part in caus-
ing or curing illnesses. But she said the relations hip of al-
lergies, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, crone's disease, psoriasis,
and others to food intake is often not fully understood.
Gottschall, who returned to university after her daughter
was spared surgery through a change in diet, said that doc-
tors are seeking out her book and advice. Copies that have
made their way to New York have resulted in calls from in-
terested physicians.
"There are many good people in the medical professions
who want to see more on this," she said.
Gottschall has recently appeared on American cable pro-
grams such as the Food Network, and CNBC, and was sur-
prised to find people familiar with her book and diets phon-
ing in from all over the U.S. Radio interviews had similar
results.
This fall, Gottschallwill be speaking and being inter-
viewed in Montreal, Cleveland, Kansas City, Indianapolis,
Dallas, and Portland with her book.
"We are trying to get this information out to people...they
are hungry for it," she said.
Americans, however, will see a different book than the
one published here since 1987. Because a television pub-
licist found that "the media people didn't like it. They saw
the word 'gut' and said 'yuck'," a revised edition under the
title Breaking the Vicious Cycle will be published for the
U.S. market. A new chapter, an index, and updated re-
search and recipes will be included in the book, which will
be available in Canada in January. For those who "want
that green book" Food and the Gut Reaction will still he
seen on Canadian shelves as well.
Gottschall's quick wit and lively personality make her a
natural for talk shows, particularly since she has some
harsh things to say about contemporary food trends, like
pasta. She contends that traditional diets that included meat
and poultry, vegetables and fruits, are still the best.

beside the present township office in Zurich.
Assuming government approval, Hay will be us-
ing the full $270,326 allocated to the municipality
through the Canada/Ontario infrastructure grant pro-
gram. The township will pay for one third of the
project, or $90,109.
Township clerk -treasurer Janisse Zimmerman
said the main objectives for the new structure will
be a larger council chambers, a larger vault and
more storage space, and an office for the building
official, who currently shares a desk in the present
office.
The old township office will be demolished once
construction is completed, to replace the parking lot
the new building is to be built on.
Township council will be finalizing the exterior
details, such as brickwork, of the building in the
next few days. Hopes are still held out for a start on
at least the foundation this fall, but final approvals
may cause delays.
Exeter building over $2.4 million
EXETER - With much of the con-
struction season drawing to a close,
town council now has a better idea
of how building starts have im-
proved over 1993 levels in Exeter.
Building official Dave Moyer pre-
sented his monthly report to council
last Monday evening, showing a
year-to-date total of $2.4 million in
construction. By the end of August
1993, the same total was only $1.96
million.
The total number of permits is-
sued this year is Tess than last year,
but they are for more extensive pro-
jects.
"I wouldn't mind issuing 10 per-
mits a month if they all came in at
these numbers," Moyer told council,
pointing out that nearly all of Au-
gust's $410,725 worth of building
was on two single-family homes and
one industrial addition.
When councillor Ben Hoogen-
boom asked Moyer for a year-to-
date total on new home construc-
tion, Moyer said he had issued per-
mits for "11 or 12...that's about the
same as the total for last year," he
said.

things we do in life we use a specialist. Someone who's been trained to understand

Stephen to extend
sewers near Bend
An industrial park will benefit most
GRAND BEND - Stephen Town-
ship council has asked the Ministry
of the Environment to draw up
agreements to extend sewer ser-
vices to an industrial park on the
Grand Bend Airport, Oakwood Inn,
the Huron Country Playhouse, and
to Grand Cove Estates.
While Oakwood Inn had been
pressing for connection to a san-

and was repeatedly turned down by
Grand Bend council, it will be the

Stephen Township administrator
Larry Brown said connecting the
development to the joint Grand
Bend/Stephen sewage treatment
system will allow smaller industrial
lots on the property because separ-
ate septic beds will he unnecessary.
Some 70 new lots will be able to
be added to Grand Cove Estates
through the connection.
Brown said all connections to the
sewer system will be made at the
individual property owner' ex-
pense, not the township's.
EXETER - Mailbox bashing may
be a joke to those responsible, but
local police say it is a crime that is
both costly and annoying to the vic-
tims.
The Exeter OPP made that warn-
ing Monday after investigating two
incidents of vandalism to local
mailboxes. One box was reported
stolen, only to turn up on an Abbey
Lane lawn in Exeter, and another
Stephen Township residence re-
ported a smashed mailbox to po-
lice.
The OPP are also investigating a
complaint of someone driving a car
through a corn crop in Hay Town-
ship.
Police also say they have sus-
pects in the Saturday theft of a
Teen Challenge donation box from
New Orleans Pizza in'Exeter. The
OPP say they will be laying charg-
es unless the box and contents are
returned.
A white Pontiac Sunbird convert-
ible was stolen from Huron Motor
Products on Sunday, report the
OPP.
Police are also investigating the
theft of a maroon mountain bike in
Exeter last Wednesday, and dam-
age to a dryer and coffee machine
at the laundromat at the Centre
Mall in Exeter last Tuesday.
