Ogglat 1979; nutrition matter By B!tENDA IKIS.YK, ACTING HOME ECONOMIST FOR HURON COUNTY This is the first article in a serier of four written In conjunction with the theme for Nutrition Week) October 21-27 -- "Pure Delight, Snack Right" Let's face it - we are a snacking generation and it is doubtful that those coffee breaks, "grabbing bites", and eating on thg run.will end in the near future. If the word "snack" to you has a, bac. con- notation, perhaps it is. because many of the traditional snack foods (such as potato chips, doughnuts, candy) come first to. mind.` These foods are sometimes called "empty calorie foods" - although they may be tasty, they contain many calories and few nutrients. They can sap mealtime appetites and crowd out more wholesome foods. However, snacks can be both tasty and nutritious. Because there is no scientific basis for limiting food intake to three meals a day, snacking can be perfectly acceptable and 'ma.y. even be advantageous (for example, for children whose food needs are high because of growth and activity demands). The point to remember is to choose snack foods. that will complement the rest of your diet. What do we mean by this? Well, the basis to a good sound diet is Canada's Food Guide. It specifies the number and size of servings of various foods required daily to en- sure adequate nutrients in order that your body can function properly. Foods are divided into four food groups - Milk and Milk Products, two servings), Breads. and Cereals (three-four servings), Meat and Alternates (two servings) and Fruits and Vegetables (four -five servings). So, to be a wise snacker, pick one that fits into one of the food groups. If you are like many who are concerned about their weight for health and ,,appearance reasons, "save" a food from a meal and eat it later as a snack. You may want to save that muffin you normally eat at lunch for your mid-afternoon snack. Good snacking must start early. By -the time many Canadians reach their teen years, their tastebuds are accustomed to overly sweetened and artificially flavoured snack foods.. But it's never too late to change. Maximizing the number and kinds of "good snacks .and minimizing the number of "bad" ones available at home is a large step towards good snacking practices. Don't believe that good snacks are unap- petizing and boring. The possibilities are almost endless. Here are just a few examples: fruit juice popsicles, baked apples' filled with chopped pineapple and nuts, wholewheat or bran muffins, cheese cubes and rye crackers, fresh fruit juice, raw vegetable strips with yogurt or onion soup mix dip, and apple spice cookies. Here is the recipe for these delicious, moist cookies: "''/2 yup"b"'utter or 'margarine 1 cup brown sugar l egg 2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 cup apple juice 1 cup finely chopped peeled apple 1 cup raisins In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy; beat in egg. Sift together flour, soda, salt and spices. Add to creamed mixture alternately with apple juice. Fold in apple and raisins. Drop by level teaspoonfuls two inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes about three dozen cookies.

In an earlier letter, Mr. Cassidy informed council that he would be billing the town for, the loss of business the Clinton Hotel received after council refused to let him have outdoor liquor permits on a few occasions this year. Mr. Cassidy noted that that on May 15 he was refused a liquor permit, while others were okayed. Clerk Cam Proctor' explained that this was not true and noted that organizations such as the Legion and Kinsmen groups don't Cow earns broodaward . by Bill Teasdale Hanaud Radar • Nikky (GP) bred and owned by Hans Boonstoppel of Auburn, Ontario has recently qualified :for a One Star Brood Cow Award under. the rules established by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club.

It was also noted that council does not have full control over the refusal or approval of liquor licences, but final authorization comes from the Liquor Control Board. Council is anxious to have . work begtin on the new parking lot orf Ratte*bury Street, be.hind the library. Although the parking arrangement of cars, offered through three plans made by the town's engineer, B.M. Ross has not been decided, council agreed that a lot could be dug out and gravelled. "We should at least get it started and the markings can be done afterwards,' Mayor Lobb said. Deputy Reeve Ernie Brown assured that work would begin on the parking lot as soon as the tree planters had been put away. + + Council defeated a motio r from the Region of Niagara which asked that the assessment equilization factors be re- examined. The re- assessment basically' means that rural areas will be paying more county and.. education taxes and urban areas' portion will be lessened. The Niagara Region, an agricultural area is opposed to this. Council, however, felt that since they supported the equilization assessment earlier they could not also support this. - Clerk, Proctor told council that had the - assessment been out into effect this year, Clinton would have been paying $80,000 less. "It will shift away from an improper situation where the urban aras have been paying more than their share and rural areas have been paying less than . theirs for education and the county," Clerk Procter explained to council. + + + Council endorsed a report prepared recently by "Clerk Proctor, with assistance from the county that shows aneed for 25 more senior citizen housing units. The units requested by council are those on a rent geared to income basis, not low income housing. + + + Council recommended to the committee of ad- justment that approval be given to Bell Canada for the severance of house on lot 203 on the south side of Rattenbury Street West.
