One of the judges, Marie Cowley of Logan, started cooking with dutch ovens 29 years ago when the method was considered a dying art. She said the secret to good dutch-ove- n cooking is in learning to control the heat. She and her husband, Val. have spent years experimenting and creating recipes for the ovens. They have won their share of contests and teach classes in the art throughout the country. The Cowleys have since written three cookbooks and produced a video to help teach people about using dutch ovens. Dick Michaud, a representative from the International Dutch Oven Society, said dutch-ove- n cooking is great for making good friends and good food. People tend to visit more while they are waiting for the food to cook in the ovens, unlike people who disappear shortly after a hamburger is grilled on a barbecue, he said. The great thing besides the food is that a dutch oven can be taken so many different places and it is a great way to cook for fun." Dutch ovens were necessary equipment for anyone in the early days of the country because settlers, pioneers, miners, lumberjacks, and trappers seldom had stoves to cook on and prepared their meals over an open fire. . I have a friend whose dutch oven across brought a the plains on a handcart. It weighed almost half as much as the rest of the load but it was worth it to her to have something she could cook in that was that big." Michaud has enjoyed the revival of cooking in dutch ovens and likes to share his enthusiasm for the art. He said many dutch-ove- n owners are afraid of seasoning their ovens. They cant ruin it unless they heat and season it and then drop it." Cowley said seasoning is basically heating the cast-iro- n cookware over an open flame or in a barbecue grill or in an indoor oven until the pan changes color to a golden hue fZEEfr raw cgrisnir Her ' om hint for ing from area experts: T JutCh-Ove- n cook- Obtain equipment.

Season the dutch oven by heating the oven in an open flame or over a barbecue grill. When the pan changes color and takes on a goidon hue, remove the pan from the heat. After It has cooled, lightly coat the entire pan with cooking oil. Pans shouldn't be heated Indoors because the Dutch ovens are coated with a waxhke substance at the factory. The high heat sends off smoke and fumes in the house. Dutch ovens that are seasoned eventually take on a nonstick surface. Never wash the cast-iroovens with soap. Soap acts as an emulsifier and pulls all the oil out of the pan. Warm water can be used In cleaning with a nylon scratch pad, but the ovens need to be dried thoroughly to avoid rust. If there Is rust, scrub it out with a plastic (not metal) scrubber, (heat) and oil the pan all over. Don't use metal utensils. Use plastic or wooden tools. One common question concerns a gummy residue that sometimes builds up from the vegetable oil which may go rancid on the pans. The solution Is to heat the ovens and wipe out the residue with a rag. and use normally. Rotate the oven every few minutes in case there are hot spots. A cast-iro- n pan will retain heat longer than ordinary pans and many items cook considerably faster. Check every few minutes. good-qualit- T y n 22-in- and then letting the metal cool. A light coat is rubbed over the entire surface to give the pan a nonstick surface. There isnt a lot of equipment that is necessary, though many items are convenient and helpful. Cowley said much of the cooking she and her husband have done has been experimental. They first entered a cooking contest in 1977. They thought they knew quite a bit of vegetable oil ROBERT Leaning away from the flames produced by charcoal fire, Stephen Gee of Syracuse adds potatoes to his about the art but soon found they knew little about heat control. After watching and experimenting with the charcoal, the Cowleys found the most effective method of cooking is to form a ring of charcoal in a circle under the bottom and around the lid on top of the ovens. This method eliminates hotspots like the popular checkerboard pattern of setting up the charcoal. 12-in- ch REGANStandsrd'Examinf recipe during the Syracuse Heritage Days dutch oven cook-of- f first-plac- e Saturday.

Theater arts let youth express themselves Instructor: classes provide outlet for emotions By KATHY KELLY Standard Examiner correspondent - a child, Johnson had difficulty expressing herself. But when she ; CLINTON As Bet-t- y was 12, she discovered the world of theater and dance, and found an outlet for emotional expression. Now, as a teacher of theater arts, ballet and Broadway tap dance, shes teaching that con- cept to area children. Clinton City Recreation is of-- . fering a series of classes for children ages 5 and up. Adult classes will be offered if enough interest is generated. Johnson, a Clinton resident, teaches the dance classes Mondays and Wednesdays, and theater arts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Johnson said she was an extreme introvert as a child, but that changed when she became involved with the theater at the age of 12. Her experiences there helped her express herself and greatly affected her life, Johnson said. She has been involved in theatrical productions since then. The thing I like about dance and theater is that it allows children to express emotions apprsaid Johnson. opriately, Through dance and theater, the emotions can come out in acceptable ways. It seems to really y help the kids to grow. The purpose of the classes are to enhance children's through visual arts, via dance, singing, theater, etc. Another aspect of the classes is to develop new talents and skills, she said. Johnson taught for the Mclver School of Dance in California and at Ricks College. She specializes in Broadway tap and ballet techniques which have been handed down through her family for four generations. actress As a in the Ontario, Calif., community theater she performed in stage performances such as A Christmas Carol and The Sound of Music. She also acted in small theater productions and directed various plays. Students in the theater arts class will learn diction, emotional expression, facial expression, body actions, some musical expression, and makeup. They will participate in puppet theater and one-aplays. Participants will also be performing at Clinton Fun Days this summer. We dont make mistakes, we just have happy accidents. We build on the childrens skill level from where they are. self-estee- m al ct For more information cerning class sign-u- p uling contact Recreation at Clinton 825-539- 8. con- and sched- City Heart disease kills more women In 1988 more than 500,000 women in the United States died of heart and blood vessel diseases, compared to 475,000 men. The fact that more women are dying today of a disease that many physicians believe strikes primarily men is an unfortunate repercussion of an error in medical research nearly 50 years ago. Careful reanalysis of the data during the 1980s eventually unmasked this misjudg-men- t. Recently, the American Heart Association initiated education programs to increase both public and professional awareness of the prevalence of heart disease in women. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in women and men in the United States. Women share the same risk factors as men, and because of hormonal differences they have additional risks due to the effects of birth control pills and postmenopausal estrogen deprivation. Estrogen favors the production of HDL (good) cholesterol, which protects women from developing atherosclerosis. After menopause a womans HDL cholesterol levels decrease so that her risk for heart disease equals that of a man the same age. Estrogen replacement therapy can partially reverse this effect. The majority of coronary heart disease in women develops after age 50, nearly 10 years on average DAVIS HEALTH TODAY Dr. John E. Lassetter after men. Statistics show that women are typically 20 years older than men when they have their first heart attack. This difference in age significantly contributes to the increased mortality of women after heart attacks. Among the modifiable risk factors, smoking affects women differently than men. The risk of heart disease in a premenopausal woman who smokes is three times that of a menstruating woman. Moreover, women who smoke and take birth control pills are at much greater risk of heart attack than those who do not smoke and are on oral contraception. Hypertension is a major risk factor of heart disease. While men under 55 are more likely to have high blood pressure than women their of age, by age 65 nearly all women are hypertensive. High blood pressure can be easily controlled in most cases. With good control of high blood pressure you can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease. Diabetes mellitus contributes to the risk of heart disease in both sexes, but women are more likely to get diabetes and are often more intensely affected by it. Again, good control of diabetes can lessen the detrimental affects of this disease. two-thir- VOLUNTEER CONNECTION 12-in- Davis Countys growing economy a chance to improve retail sales ROBERT Audiences al the LAYTON free Concert in the I'aik Monday will hear the music ul Mk singer Mart 14 Knurr anj students front On Stage Studios I he convert, sponsored eavh Monday through the summer by the Layton Arts and Humanities Council, Ivgms at 7 p m. in front of the Heritage Mu scum in I ay ton Commons iatk.

She performs folk music and other types of nostalgic and comic songs while also telling stories. The musician has been playing the guitar since high school and for the past 15 years she has performed in Alaska. Idaho. Wisconsin and Utah. She has been an artist with the slate's Young Audiences program and has performed for about 30.1XKJ students in 58 schools. ' For the last six years she has been part of the Very Special Arts Rainbow Factory in Alaska, a program for children with disabilities. Knorr has also performed on ferries and trains, most recently on a train going from Odgcn to Wyoming this past weekend. She performs weekly at a nursing home in Ogden. General and intervention cardiology, Heart Care Institute The diagnosis of heart disease in women is more difficult than in men, primarily due to physician bias and different disease presenta- tion patterns. In general, women have more vague symptoms of heart disease. Most women with heart disease present with angina (chest pain or discomfort) rather than a heart attack. Women have more false positive screening tests for heart disease than men. Some newer imaging techniques greatly enhance this screening process with much fewer false positive tests. In addition, physicians typically have been less aggressive both diag- nostically and in treating heart dis- ease in women despite the fact that more women die and are disabled from heart disease than men. Early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease can prevent premature death or disability from heart disease.
