Not only did students enjoy their skipping but they also enjoyed the music the group put to it. They were Just for the Health of it Tips to help cut your dental bills BY SHERYL FEAGAN HEALTH EDUCATION CONSULTANT HURON COUNTY HEALTH UNIT Dental disease attacks 95 per cent of Canadians at some time during their lives. By age 20, the average young adult has 14 decayed, missing or filled teeth. These statistics are staggering, but more staggering is the fact that most tooth decay is preventable. There are four easy steps you can take to protect your teeth. •1. Good dental home care is still the key to good dental health. Your home care program should include daily use of a fluoridated tooth­ paste and daily brushing and flossing. •2. New toothbrushes are a good investment. Worn out bristles do not effectively remove plaque and can cause damage to your gum tissue. Your toothbrush should be replaced every two or three months and after each cold or infectious illness. Dentists usually recom­ mend soft bristled brushes with a generous enough to give posters on the tricks that they did and a class set of skipping ropes. The whole school enjoyed doing the tricks that they did at recess. PREPARATIONS FOR CAMPING TRIP by Dennis Terpstra and PriskaMenzl On May 25 and 26 the grades five and six are going to go on a camping trip at Benmiller Falls. Everybody will be separated into groups. These groups have to be responsible for bringing the food they want to eat and have to prepare the food themselves, over open fires. They will be going on nature walks, playing orientiering games, having treasure hunts and going fishing. It will be a great experience for these students and we hope they have a lot of fun. BORDENBALL TOURNAMENT by Mary Wall and Dana Gibbons On Thursday, May 14, the grade fait surface. •3. Good food and health snacks now will pay off in the future. Tooth decay is caused by plaque (bacter­ ial) which uses sugars to form acid. This acid dissolves tooth enamel to create decay. An “acid attack” can last for about 30 to 40 minutes each time sugar-containing foods are eaten. A reduction in the amount of sugar-containing foods eaten will correspondingly reduce the amount of time acid can work to cause decay. Ifyou’reasnacker, try to pick healthy ones such as plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, cheese, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, fruit juice, devill­ ed eggs, etc. Watch for hidden sugars in your food choices! Don’t let it fool you! Sugar comes in many forms and under many different names like glucose, fructose, maltose, dex­ trose, sucrose, honey, molasses or corn syrup. If a food label contains any one of these names, the food contains sugar. Following a well-balanced diet 8 students of Grey Central School attended the bordenball tourna­ ment at East Wawanosh Public School. They were all put into groups of two and put on teams with students from other schools. Both boys and girls played five games altogether. Some students from East Wawanosh sold donuts and pop. On the way home the bus driverletstudents stop and buy chipsandotherjunkfoodfrom a store in Brussels. All in all it was a great day. SCIENCE FAIR IN TORONTO The first place winners of the Grey Central Science Fair, (Lyall Winger and Ratsamy Larprom), were invited to attend the Toronto Science Centre and the Canadian Wide Science Fair on May 14. They stayed for the whole day. They inspected the interesting projects on display. Ratsamy commented particularly on the projects con­ cerned and related with space. They both enjoyed themselves very much. by Jennifer Vanass and Kelly Krauter that includes a variety of choices from Canada’s Food Guide is still your best bet! •4. Fluorides will help make your teeth more resistant to decay. Regular use of fluorides is a good health measure that makes sense economically. Your local Health Unit can answer your questions on water fluoridation and provide the means for fluoride testing of your well system. If you are not in a fluoridated area, your dentist may wish to prescribe a fluoride supplement for your family. In Huron County, a small area of Turnberry Township and the Exe­ ter area do not add fluoride to their water supply. Use of a fluoride mouth rinse will also help reduce dental decay and can be used effectively in conjunction with a fluoride supplement. Preventive dental health prac­ tices reap positive benefits for adults as well as children. So whether you’re 6 or 60, take heed! Put your best teeth forward .... SMILE! .... and make it a healthy one. On Saturday, May 9 Winnie McPhail of Callander Nursing Home went out for lunch with her daughter Pat Langlois.

Angina, or angina pectoris, is a recurring tightness or pain in the chest experienced when the heart muscle is not receiving an ade­ quate blood supply. Angina usually occurs when the heart is called on to do more work such as during exercise, after a big meal, or when excited. Angina is not a heart attack, but both conditions have the same underlying cause — hardening of the arteries. A diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol may help reduce the risk of developing angina. Contact your local Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario for more information.
