LOW SODIUM COLD WEATHER BREAKFAST When a cold wind seems to cut right to the bone, nothing starts off the day better than being warm on the inside A warm breakfast treat becomes even more welcome when it is low in sodium, like the Breakfast Baked Apple suggested here Because commercial sausage is high m sodium, this recipe begins with fresh ground pork Seasoned with onion, orange peel, fennel seed, cinnamon, NoSalt salt alternative, and served in a baked apple, it becomes a pleasing alternative to high sodium breakfast meats BREAKFAST BAKED APPLES (Makes 4 Servings) 2 large baking apple* (8 ounce* each) 1/2 pound ground pork 1 cup chopped onion 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel Scant 1/2 teaapoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon NoSalt salt alternative 1/8 teaspoon fennel seed 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms Preheat oven to 375‘F.

FALCON WRESTLING CLINIC FOR PARENTS AND FANS On Wednesday, November 6, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., the Falcon wrestling team will hold a clinic at John Glenn High School for anyone who would like to understand wrestling a little better. "Most fans go to the wrestling events because they enjoy the match and recognize what is happening", says Gene Bailey, head coach of the Falcon wrestlers. "We need to educate the public about high school wrestling if we are to increase fan following”. "There is nothing more devastating to the young athlete than a gym full of fans screaming for the opponent”. The clinic will treat parents and fans to the rules, scoring and* techniques of wrestlilng. It won’t produce experts on wrestling, but they should have a better understanding of what they are watching. Wednesday is designated “Soap Night", admission to the clinic will be a "bar of soap". WINTER PROTECTION PROGRAM CAN HELP NIPSCO CUSTOMERS People on low and fixed incomes may get help managing their utility service through NIPSCO's Winter Protection Program. The program encompasses various activities conducted in an effort to work directly with customers. Edmund A. Schroer, NIPSCO chairman and chief executive officer, explained, "Customers making a sincere effort to communicate with NIPSCO will find that there are a number of programs in place which may help them resolve payment problems regarding utility service. These customers are an ongoing concern, especially as we prepare for winter and the harsh weather that may accompany it. "We are committed to providing the best possible customer service, and in order to do so, we ask that any customer having difficulty contact NIPSCO before their bill becomes delinquent. We emphasize that they come in before the bill is delinquent to try to resolve the problem and avoid additional complications which may result when there is no communication from the customer." The Winter Protection Program
may assist customers in any number of ways. — They may be eligible for assistance from their Community Energy Assistance Program which NIPSCO has pledgeld to support with $500,000 in matching energy credits again this year. Last year over 3,600 families were assisted through this program — Special arrangements may be made to restore service for customers who have been making a sincer effort to pay their delinquent bills. Repayment of the debt may be made through weekly, bi-weekly or monthly installments arranged at the customer’s convenience. In cases of extreme hardship, the required security deposit and reconnection fee may be waived. — Outreach efforts will be made with social service agencies and labor organizations which may be able to assist in individual situations. — Third party notification is another outreach effort allowing the customer to designate a relative, friend or social service agency to receive duplicate copies of delinquent bills. — Some customers may be assisted through Project SAFE (State Assistance For Energy). However, as directed by the state, NIPSCO only takes applications for Project SAFE from customers 60 years of age or older. All others may apply at their local Department on Aging and Community Services Agency. Project SAFE recipients will not be disconnected during the heating season (December 1 to March 15), but they will receive reminder notices if their account becomes delinquent. — Customers may also apply at local Department on Aging and Community Services Agencies for Emergency SAFE funds. — NIPSCO programs which may be particularly useful in home energy management include the 12-month and 8-month budget plans, home energy audits and lowinterest weatherization loans. "Our objective is to provide customers with reliable service,” Schroer stated. "When circumstances force us to disconnect service, both the customer and the company lose. This action is taken only as a last resort; however, costs associated with providing service
