Jan Day and Big Brothers/Big Sisters ... building trust and special friendships

By DEE JAYNES Staff Writer Building a bond of friendship through a one-on-one relationship of trust between an adolescent and an adult volunteer is the cornerstone upon which the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization is built. Jan Day, executive director of the Kosciusko County Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, says formulating such a relationship is not something that happens overnight. “When you ask the kids on the waiting list what they want most from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program,” Jan explained, “the most common answer is just to have someone to hang out with —a friend. Although in many cases they are able to help relieve some of the stress felt by the single parents of kids in the program, the adult volunteers for Big Brothers/Big Sisters are not surrogate parents.” Big Brothers/Big Sisters has been in Kosciusko County since April, 1985. Jan has been with the program since its beginning. She explained that bringing the pro-

The versatility of cream cheese

By MARIETTA F. HENRY Ext. Home The celebrated Mrs. Beeton was fooled by the richness of cream cheese. In her “Book of Household Management” (circa 1861), she described it as follows: “Cream cheese, although so called, is not properly cheese, but is nothing more than cream dried sufficiently to be cut with a

gramme the area began as a project for several members of the Kosciusko Leadership Academy class that year. “These inthe need for such a program in Kosciusko County and were responsible for the creation of the local program as a satellite program of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Ft. Wayne,” Jan said. _ _ Jan currently lives in North Manchester with her husband, Dr. Drew Day, principal at Manchester High School. Jan, the daughter of Warsaw residents '‘Mike and Sheila Hodges, grew up Warsaw area and graduated from Warsaw High School. She graduated from Purdue University with a degree in psychology and social work. Jan says she had been away from the area for approximately li years while her husband completed work on his doctorate. The couple returned to Kosciusko County three years ago. After college, Jan served for five years as executive director of Evergreen Elderly Services, an organization providing services to mainly low-income and homebound senior citizens in the Columbus area. “I graduated from college on the 3rd,” Jan said, “and started work on the 4th.” During her time at Evergreen, Jan supervised a staff of 45 persons, providing ser- / •

knife.” While the taste of cream cheese '''isjuxurious enough to make Mrs. Beeton’s statement palatable, the process is a bit more complicated and cream cheese is indeed a cheese, one of approximately 18 distinct types of natural cheeses. Within each type there exists an almost infinite variety of natural cheeses, each a concentrated source of many of the nutrients found in milk. A soft, unripened cheese,

vices within a five-county district. When the Days moved to North Manchester three years ago, Jan says she took a year off to “regroup” before returning to the work force. When the opportunity with Big Brothers/Big Sisters came, Jan says she was ready to accept the challenge of organiz- . ing the program locally. “According to statistics I’ve seen,” she said, “Kosciusko County has one of the highest single parent family ratios in the Midwest. In 1980, there were 2,500 kids living in single parent homes in this county and the number’is increasing.” Jan said that there are currently 25 adult volunteers involved in the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. Additional volunteers are needed for the approximately 75 young people on the program’s waiting list. The program is open to young people who are between the ages of seven and 17. Jan says it is particularly difficult to find volunteers for those under nine and over 13. “We are especially hoping to find Big Brothers and Sisters for the adolescents on the waiting list,” she said. “They are at an age when this type of relationship can make an important difference in their lives.

cream cheese is made directly from a mixture of milk and cream having a total milkfat content of about 12 percent. Usually homogenized for an equalized distribution of fat particles, this mixture is pasteurized and cooled, and a lactic-acid culture, with or without rennet, is added to aid "clotting. After the curd forms, it is warmed, then stirred and drained. As the whey (the liquid of the original milk and cream) is drained from the mixture, the cheese is pressed, packed and chilled. Condiments such as chives, chopped vegetables, olives, pineapple or pimento, may be added before final packaging. The resulting cheese, accor-

the relationship is mutually beneficial, most Big Brothers and Big Sisters feel they have received much more than they’ve given.” Describing herself as the “oldest person still going to the prom,” Jan explained that because of her husband’s position as a high school principal, the couple has extensive contact with teenagers. “I enjoy spending time with teenagers,” she said, “and I understand what a difficult time many of them are having today. That is part of the reason why I feel Big Brothers/Big Sisters can play an important role in. this community.” Jan has been a Big Sister for the past year and a half and says the time she spends with her 15-year-old Little Sister is an important part of her life. “We spend most of our time going out for a Coke and talking,” Jan said. “We used to go to the drive-in for Spanish hot dogs, but I had to tell her that since I’m on a diet now, we re switching to salads! ” Jan says that volunteers in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program represent a cross-section of the community. She said that basically the only requirements are that volunteers be at least 18 years old, live in the community

This moisture, which is usually 48 to 52 percent but not more than 55 percent, contains the water-soluble components of milk lactose, whey protein, soluble salts and vitamins. r Besides being nutritious, cream cheese tastes good. Mild and delicate, buttery with just a hint of nuttiness, cream cheese enhances the flavors of the foods

and demonstrate stability in their lives. “There are no income requirements,” sire added, “and we will accept volunteers of all ages. In fact, two of the best matches we’ve.made in this county have been with volunteers over the age of 50.” According to Jan, the success of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program depends upon “give and take” from both parties involved. "We ask the volunteers for a years commitment to spending two to five hours a week with their Little Brother or Little Sister,” she said. “We don't just make these matches and then send them on their way. There is extensive case monitoring and we meet with the parties regularly." Jan stressed that the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program is not limited to the Warsaw area. “Wetwant to make people aware that thisjs a county-wide program," sire said. “We deal with five different school systems and accept referrals from anyone. I will also make presentations to any interested school, church or ser vice gcoupon Big Brothers/Big Sisters.” In addition to her work with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Jan is also a member of the Altrusa Club, Delta Theta Tau, and was a member of the Kosciusko Leadership Academy class last year. She has also served as a member of several state committees, the board of the Indiana Association of Home Services and as vice president of the Aging Service Providers Association.

Today, the familiar cream cheese is joined by flavored cream cheeses; some have herbs added, o.thers fruits or vegetables. One can purchase cream cheese in traditional block form, or whipped for easier spreadability. Cream cheese is at its best when served at room temperature and. unlike aged cheeses, is meant to be eaten fresh. While some brands contain small amounts of gum arabic to

She and her husband are currently involved with remodeling the farm house they purchased .last year and she says that is keeping her busy. Jan says she also enjoys spending time with the horses, dogs and cats who share the farm. “Most of the kids who get involved with Big Brothers/Big Sisters don’t believe the relationship wiii last when they enter the program.” Jan said. “They are all pretty much willing to trust again and this program rekindles that trust.” She explained that most of the Little Brothers and Little Sisters in the program are like the "magic" slates most of us used as children “After writing on the magic slate," she said, “you are able to erase the words by pulling up the sheet. But, if you look on the paraffin under the top sheet, you will still find tiny indentations left behind. The Little Brothers and Little Sisters are like those magic slates. They are writing new futures for themselves on the outside, but they still have tiny identations. or scars, On the inside." One of the most common excuses heard for not becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister is lack of time. Jan says finding timiTis only a matter of examining priorities. "Think what a difference we could make in the world if we all took the time we spend turning ourselves into couch potatoes and used itUo-help a child.” * a.

aid longevity, opened packages of cream cheese should be tightly re-wrapped before refrigerator storage; its low acidity and high moisture content make it more easily perishable than other types Not to be overlooked is Neufchatel cheese, a cousin of cream cheese. Gaining in popularity with dieters, it has a higher protein and moisture content, but a lower fat content than cream cheese. One ounce of Neufchatel has 74 calories versus 99 of cream cheese.-Smooth and easily spreadaure, it can be used as a substitute for cream cheese in spreads or dips, or eaten as is.
