Show 'r i nsBESSEriL: Summit Aforfh ' by Louise Wallace We had a good time at our meetings this week even though we didn't have a bumper crop of ' Seniors present, only 42 total which is about half what we're used to. This means it is past time for us to get back into our own building where we can use the pool tables, the piano and the quilting frames. President Delia Griffith, Vice - President, Grant Geary, Secretary Woodrow Nielson and I have been in touch with the folks from the county offices. They can't seem to get a firm commitment from Hecco, the contractor who is doing the inside work. However, we do see evidence that the work is moving a little faster than it was. We could relax if we knew the date of completion though. We enjoyed playing cards and LaRita fed us real well with pizza . and lots of good styff to go with it - on Wednesday and delicious spaghetti with all the fixin's on Friday. Nobody should have gone home hungry. u We were happyt to have Clara Ellen Shafer with us again for a short vifhile and to know that Gwen Blonquist is abld to be out to ' r- church and places like that after her recent surgery. Well be expecting her to show up most any day at se- niors too. . Qert and Lyle Willoughby are looking a bit more relaxed now that their grandson is doing better. Riley was able to spend cme night only at home, then back to the hospital for the treatments he still needs. We hope all 'goes well for him and all our ailing friends. We know there is never a good time to be sick but to be sick when one loses hisher spouse must be very difficult indeed. We send our get well wishes to Alice Wilde and our sympathies to her and the family on the death of her husband, Owen, whose funeral was Tuesday, Oct. 14. If you could be bom today, in 1997, instead of way back when you were, do you think you would choose to do so? Remember... when you answer that question, you will be entering life as an infant just like you did before and wont know any more than you did then. I've learned a lot over the years, or at least I think I have but sometimes I feel just plain dumb especially when some young whipper snapper She says, "I miss being needed.

To serve on committees. To decide things. To help people out Sometimes I'd get exasperated and say, 'Does the whole world have to lean on me? Now I wish somebody would. "The trouble is, now that I'm old, people have no idea what I'm good for. Well, neither do L But I can find out. Maybe to be needed, a man doesn't always have to be doing something. He can just be there. Like a star. A fixed point. For others to take their bearings from. "I miss being needed." The milk makeover continues. You've probably seen the milk mustache ads, featuring famous faces from Martha Stewart to Patrick Ewing, touting the benefits of milk. Now milk containers themselves are getting a face-li- ft with new names and labels. Here's what to look for skim milk can now be called fat free milk. One percent will be called Iowfat, and 2 will be called reduced fat. The new labels, appearing on milk cartons, jugs and boxes across the country, will completely replace existing labels by early Janutey,199S. , "Consurners'are already seeing new labels and we want to reduce any confusion," said Dairy Farmers of Utah manager Karen Barker. "The labels are new, but consumers will still enjoy the same healthy package of nutrients." The label change is the result of new Food and Drug Administration regulations, which came in response to a petition by the Milk Industry Foundation and the Center, fo Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). . New MUk Label co-fil- ed ' ' Nutrition Information Skimnonfat tpilk,' which contains no fat, can now also be called fat free milk: (Fat free milk contains 0 grams of fat and 80 calories per 8 fluid ounces. )V 1 milk can ."how be called Iowfat (3 gKuns of fat or less per serving) or light, which is defined as at least a 50 reduction in fat content (1 Iowfat milk contains 2.5 grams of fat 'and 100 calories per 8 fluid ounces. 12 milk can also be called Iowfat; it contains 1 gram of fat and 90 calories pa 8 fluid ounces.) ' 2 milk has changed to reduced fat milk, denoting at least a 25 reduction in fat compared to whole ' milk. (This variety contains 5 grams of fat and 120 calories per 8 fluid ounces.) Whole milk remains un- changed. (It contains 8 grams of fat and ISO calories per 8 fluid ounces.) In addition to these changes, the milkfat percentages listing on labels in now optional. New Name For Old Fat Free Favorite The name change from skin to fat free is especially significant because research has shown many consumers mistakenly believed that skim milk is "skimmed" of nutrients. But that's not true - fat free milk has the same amount of calcium and other important nutrient as whole milk. Only the fat has been removed. Fat free milk sales have risen steadily in the last few years - up almost 6 percent in 1996 alone, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This trend will likely continue as Americans seek to cut fat from their diets. Research from the Food Marketing Institute indicates that fat contest is the number one factor consumers consider when shopping for food products. "Consumers clearly are concerned about cutting fat in their everyday food choices, and they're also becoming more concerned about nutrition, so the growth of fat free milk is not surprising," said Harry Balzer, an expert on eating trends and president of NPD Group in Rosemont, IL. The new name for fat free milk is intended to clearly identify the product's primary benefit and the fat free terminology is more recognizable and meaningful to consumers. American Heart Association Certification In addition to new names, carton of fat free and 12 Iowfat milk will now also display the American cerHeart Association's heart-chec- k tification mark. This symbol signifies to consumers that these varieties meet American Heart Association food criteria for fat, saturated fat and cholesterol and can y be a part of a balanced, easy-to-sp- ot usual.

"The new milk labels and the adcertificadition of the heart-chec- k tion mark are a useful change," said Robert P.

But according to USDA figures, nine out of 10 women and of men in this country do not meet the recommended daily requirements for calcium as identified by the National Institute of Health (NIH). By drinking at least three glasses of milk a day, adults can meet the daily requirements of two-thir- 1,000 mg of calcium recommended by the NIH. Now, the new labels remind consumers that there is a fat free choice in milk, providing nine essential nutrients in fat free and Iowfat versions. A free booklet, "Drink 3 for the Calcium You Need," which describes milk's vital roie in an active lifestyle and includes recipes and tips on how to get three a day, is available by calling or via the milk Web site at htt:www.whymilk.com. wnwemm PEOPLE SERVING PEOPLE 71 T ATTENTION ALL UTAH CITIZENS!!!
