Commentary Wednesday, March 8th 2000 Editorial As adults, most of us have told our share of lies. Whether its something "harmless" "harm-less" like telling a friend that you love her outfit when you really think it's awful or something major that involves home or work in an adverse way, we'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't told a fib or two. But, even though we see that in ourselves, parents, teachers and relatives get distressed when children are less than truthful. While honesty should be a goal for ourselves and the young people we influence, we probably shouldn't take lying as a sign of defective character rather, we should look for the reasons for the lying. Often, children lie because they are scared of the consequences conse-quences of telling the truth. Sometimes they lie because their self-esteem is shaky and they It's National Nutrition Month...

In fact, eating healthy and exercising can greatly reduce your risk, offsetting factors you cannot control like age and heredity. hered-ity. Healthy eating means replacing the traditional American high-fat diet with foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol. That means eating less fat and living to enjoy it more. Guidelines for heart-healthy eating are: Total fat intake should be no more than 30 percent of calories. Saturated fatty acid intake should be 8 to 10 percent of calories. calo-ries. Saturated fatty acids are found primarily in animal fast, but also in palm, palm kernel and coconut oil. Polyunsaturated fatty acid intake should be up to 10 percent of calories. Corn, soybean and sunflower oil are examples of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Monunsaturated fatty acids , make up the rest of the total fat intake, about 10 to 15 percent of total calories. Canola oil and olive ol-ive oil are examples of Monounsaturated oils. Cholesterol intake should be less than 300 milligrams per day. Cholesterol is found in foods from animals - beef, pork, mutton, poultry, fish dairy products, egg yolks. Limit sodium to no more than 2400 mg a day. To cut down on salt, use herbs and spices.

A loving, non-judgmental environment en-vironment is a major key to helping help-ing children learn to tell the truth from an early age if children feel safe, they will usually tell the truth. Tom Lee, Utah State University Univer-sity Extension Family and Human Hu-man Development Specialist has the following suggestions to help promote honesty in children. Don't ask questions you already al-ready know the answer to. Sometimes Some-times our questions invite a creative cre-ative answer. Instead of "did you do your homework?," try "I haven't seen you doing homework what's your plan?" This approach ap-proach also focuses on finding a solution, rather than blaming. Avoid asking "why" questions, especially with younger children. Many times, children don't know heart-healthy cookbooks avail able at your favorite bookstore. One of the most popular is the "Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook", Cook-book", which features some of the most creative low-fat cooking around. In it, you'll find everything every-thing you need to know about eating to lower your blood cholesterol. choles-terol. The secret to success is balance. If occasionally you indulge in a high-fat entree for dinner, you can balance it with lower-fat foods such as steamed vegetables or a fruit for dessert. The same idea applies to high-fat or salty snacks. Eat small amounts and balance them with low-fat, low-sodium foods. Here are a few tips to help control con-trol the amount and kids of fat, saturated fatty acids and dietary-cholesterol dietary-cholesterol you eat: Eat up to 6 ounces (cooked) per day of lean meat, fish and skinless poultry. Try main dishes featuring pasta, rice, beans andor vegetables. veg-etables. Or create "low-meat" dishes by mixing these foods with small amounts of lean meat, skinless skin-less poultry or fish. The approximately 5 to 8 teaspoon tea-spoon servings of fats and oils per day may be used for cooking and baking, and in salad dressings and spreads. Use cooking methods that require little or no fat - boil, broil, bake, roast, poach, steam, saute, stir-fry or microwave. Trim off the fat you can see before cooking meat and poultry. Drain off all fat after browning. Chill soups and stews after cooking cook-ing so you can remove the hardened hard-ened fat from the top. Use egg whites in cooking and baking; choose fat-free pr low-fat milk and non fat or low-fat yogurt and cheeses. Make 5 or more servings of fruits or vegetables a part of your day. why they did something. Empathize with a child's situation. Try, This must be a pretty scary situation for you if you feel like you need to lie about it" Or maybe, "You must love us a lot to be so worried about disappointing dis-appointing us. We want you to know well always love you no matter what you do." Dont over-react when children chil-dren tell you something you dont like. Otherwise, children get good at saying what they think you want to hear. Help children feel that mistakes can be opportune ? ties to learn. Don't call a child who lies a liar. It can become a self-fulfilling label. Praise children when they tell the truth. Try something like, Thanks for telling the truth, even though it was hard. There needs to be a consequence for time to wise up and eat right! Eat 6 or more servings per day of breads, cereals of grains, pasta, dried beans or starchy vegetables. Wise eating doesn't mean tasteless taste-less foods. It means converting old habits with creative, low-fat cooking tips and recipes. Plan your meals and don't leave your Jane's Combat Simulations recently re-cently released "FA-18 Simulator," Simula-tor," a study sim for the serious gamer. I was very excited to get my hands on this game. Unfortunately, the excitement didn't last. Let me first address the highs this game offers. "FA-18" is realistic; real-istic; this is illustrated by the carrier car-rier ops, realistic avionics (aircraft systems such as radar) and flight model. The FA-18E Super Hornet is more like a steady Buick than a speedy Corvette. I'm no pilot, but as far as I can tell, the programmers program-mers got the flight model right. I really got into the carrier ops, especially landing. One of the single missions tasks you with landing on a carrier at night. The immersion factor on just that mission mis-sion was intense! I felt like everything every-thing around me was tuned out and the only thing that mattered was finding the carrier and catching the number three wire. The graphics for the most part are very good. Every mission involves in-volves flying over water. The water wa-ter looks great, especially with the sunlight glinting off of it. Cloud and weather effects (rain and lightening) light-ening) are superb, as are weapons effects. I thought the aircraft and vehicle ve-hicle rendering was sub-par, especially espe-cially when compared to Jane's "USAF." Furthermore, I could never get over the opinion that the cockpit looked a little cheesy. "F A-18" requires a 3-D accelerator. The campaign is excellent and features a lot of variety in the missions. mis-sions. Still, I was surprised at the lack of anti-shipping missions; I wanted to attack the enemy fleet. To be honest, I didn't complete the campaign, and it's possible anti-shipping anti-shipping missions appeared in the latter stages. Now the lows of the game. I found the manual to be very weak. It doesn't give enough "how-to" information (and the bare num. hers given in the index are wrong). This normally wouldn't be a prob breaking a rule Mid Tm proud you for being willing to deal with that." Set an example of teliing the truth. Follow through with your promises to children. Tell them about a time you told the truth and accepted the consequences of a mistake. These are good suggestions and things to think about. Children Chil-dren are our most precious commodity com-modity and we need to teach them the importance of honesty. There are so many examples in obvious and prominent places where dishonesty is the order of the day and leaders and supposed role models everywhere appear more concerned with keeping a facade than with telling the truth and facing the consequences, that we need to be more careful than ever to set the example of honesty for the children around us. eating habits to chance. Before long, healthy eating will be a part of your regular routine.

By Jason Russell lem for a Jane's game, but the nor mally excellent training missions seem like afterthoughts (again, especially when compared to USAF). For such a realistic game, I would have expected step-by-step training for every aspect of the game! "Falcon "Fal-con 4.0" is a recent study sim and is recognized as one of the best flight sims ever made. If memory serves, that game offered around 35 training missions, with step-by-step instruction in the manual. "F A-18" should have followed suit. The single missions are worthless. worth-less. Some can be accomplished in minutes. This complaint also extends ex-tends to some of the campaign missions. mis-sions. I never felt any urgency in the missions. My wingmen would ask for permission to engage the enemy, but I never, had enemy on my radar. Many missions seemed like this: take off, fly to target area for 10 minutes, drop bombs, go home. Missions from "USAF" were much more dynamic, involving changing objectives, and you got right to the heart of the action. To be fair, the game includes a mission builder and you can spend time creating your own missions. This is an excellent feature, and creating your own mission can be a blast. In the end, I found the campaign, too hard. Even with enemy pilot and air defenses set at "novice, " I was continually shot down. I think this has less to do with my pilot ing and more to do with the "in-aming "in-aming weapons" views. After getting get-ting shot down in exactly the same place on the same mission for the fifth straight time, I had0 had enough. . .

Hague Calder David George Calder (Dave) was born April 24, 1858, in Provo, Utah, to David Orson Calder and his second wife, Ann Hamer, who were pioneers. This was during the episode of Johnston's Army entering Salt Lake City. The family only lived in Provo a few months before returning to Salt Lake City. Dave had a wonderful learning experience when, as a teen-ager, he had the opportunity to travel with his father to Scotland. His father wrote of his son: "He is getting his writing lessons, spelling, and composition in his practice in writing letters, and is therefore not losing much." Dave also took classes in art, for which he showed a great aptitude. Later, he sent away for art courses. He was a good student, and after normal schooling, attended the University of Deseret. Dave played ball with his friends, including Heber J. Grant, whom they called tleddv" hp ininpfi n min lnk an1 An;n..l I...-: I ir, , Valley. In his notes from July 1894, he mentions coming toSpringvUle with his brother and two sons and fishing up Hobble Creek Canyon in the Kelly's Grove area and catching 583 fish in a six-day period. Baskets of fish were sent back to Salt Lake. After the family moved to Provo Bnch, he continued to enjov outings in the same area. Sarah Elizabeth Hague, known as Sallie, was born June 11, 1859, a daughter of James and Sarah Ann Beaver Hague, emigrants from England who crossed the plains m 1852. Her father was a gunsmith, and apparently did well in that business. busi-ness. But in 1871, Sallie's parents were drowned when the steamship Cambia foundered off the coast of Ireland on a voyage to England. She lived with her brother, James Jr., who had been married earlier that year. For a time before her marriage, it was said she lived with a sister-in-law and took care of her niece and nephew while their mother worked. On July 21, 1881, Sarah Elizabeth married David George Calder at the family home in Salt Lake City. Seven children were born to them during the time they lived in several different homes in Salt Lake City, David worked in the music store business with his father. After their father's death in 1884, David and his brother Samuel, took over the business, D. O. Calder Sons Co, which later became Clayton' Music Company. David made at least two trips each year to New York to buy merchandise for the business. In 1904, his daughters, Lillian and Catherine, accompanied him on one of these trips. They went first by train to the World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri They then went on to New York and Washingon, DC. Two highlights of their visit to the White House were being allowed to hold the pen and sit in the chair that were used at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and being permitted to go in the music room. This trip also included a visit to Coney Island and a trip down the Mississippi. Apparently, Dave had always wanted to live on a farm, and knew Utah Valley well from his many business and fishing trips to the area. With the help of Charles Edward Crandail, who would be his close neighbor and was a judge on Provo Bench (his home being his "judge's chamber"), he found and purchased a farm on Provo Bench (now Orem) from William James Cordner for $1,900 on Decem- r,31' The prop6rty wa Part of 160-acre homestead of Thomas Cordner father of William James. - On June 15 1905, at 4 a.m., the family left Salt Lake City with their team and white top with their belongings, to make their home on Provo Bench. Son Jack, soon to be five years old, stood on the wagon and sang, "Goodbye, my lady love. Goodbye, my turtle dove," at the top of his voice. During the summer, the family lived in a tent or tents while the home was being remodeled from a one-story adobe home to a two-story home. Papers indicate the project cost $1,200. The family no longer could just turn the Up and get water. They had running water", all right - water running merrily on its way in the canal north of the house. Water was left in the canals all year in those days, so water was available for the families without piped water. Sometimes a hole had to be made in the ice to get to the running water underneath. Dave, with the help of his sons and Sarah's brother, Frank (Francis) Hague, who came to live with them, made the land a "picture book farm." Eventualhfthe farm consisted of fruit trees of many kinds, raspberries, strawberries, eraoes wheat, and alfalfa. Wheat was taken to the local mill to be processed. Frank Hague was in charge of the large garden. He was as particular as hi. brother-in-law, and those who happened to step in the wrong place got a irood tongue-lashing. . 5 8 David also had beautiful flower gardens. The fence on the west side of the vard " was covered with Virginia t creeper vines and had poison ivy cropping Up here'and there. There was also a bed of yellow roses, a currant bush, and a gooseberry , bush, and ins growmg on the canal tank. On the south of the wash house there was another lilac bush still alive as of March, 2000). There were three poplar trees, two evergreens, and "two walnut trees on the west and south of the house. At the top of the orchard was a beautiful Thousand Beauty rose bush next to a patch of rhubarb. North and east of the house was a nice asparagus patch. There were blackberry bushes cn the east side of the main irrigation ditch east of the wash house. Most of the seeds for Cowers, live plants, vegetables, and trees were sent away for in the early years of farming. David made hot frames to start his vegetables. n7 U: 1806, tenv8Ild 66100 ' f Property, known as being on the riverbottom were purchased from Sam Cordner Provo Bench. Later David's son, E. H.
