tiiut -jmmrwriWMFr . \ dOP* v SNOW COVERED ROADS CAUSE ACCIDENTS — Kosciusko County Police investigated a number of accident during the past week caused by icy and snow covered roads. Most of the accidents in the Lakeland area were minor personal injury accidents or property damage accidents. This photo shows an accident at 2:25 p.m., on CR 1000 N, east of CR 400E Tuesday, Dec. 26. Melvin Greenfield, 43, Syracuse, was traveling east in his 1977 Mercury Marquis, when he lost control of the vehicle as it was rounding a curve. A passenger in the vehicle, William Greenfield, 48, Dewart Lake, suffered facial lacerations and was taken to Goshen Hospital. Milford Emergency Medical Service and Syracuse EMS and Fire Department were called to the scene. (Photo by Deb Patterson) Hurrah for the American stomach By R. L. KOHLS There is one activity during holiday festivities that most of us truly enjoy . During the rest of the year, numerous dietary warnings might lead us to conclude that eating is dangerous to our health! But during the holidays, we indulge in all sorts of goodies — and heartily enjoy it. The variety, quality, stability and size of the American food supply is a great and unique blessing. The U.S. agricultural resource base is so vast and varied that even bad years do not cause a noticeable reduction in available food supplies. Per capita food consumption rarely varies more than a few percentage points from year to year. In recent years, per capita food consumption has increased to about eight to nine percent above the levels of just 20 years ago. The mix of foods in this total has changed somewhat over time. Per capita consumption of foods that are derived from animals has increased about three percent since 1967. Consumption of foods derived from crops, however, has increased about 17 percent. Traditionally, meat is the main dish of American meals, and a big shift in this category has been ; theincreasedconsumptinn of poultry products. The following table shows how preferences for meat have changed since the mid-19705. Because there is substantial annual variation in iiiulviuuai products, the chart reflects three-year averages. Per Capita Consumption of Meat. Poultry, Fish (1974-1976) (1986-1988) Average Percent of Average Percent of * Pounds Total Pounds Total Beef 89 42 75 32 Pork 55 26 60 26 Chicken 41 19 62 27 Turkey 9 4 15 7 Fish 12 6 15 7 Other (Lamb, veal and additional poultry products 5 3 3 1 TOTAL 211 100 230 100 Since the mid-19705, U.S. consumers are eating more fruits and vegetables. However, the data below indicates that fresh produce has enjoyed the largest increases. This is a compliment to America’s transportation and distribution system. Pounds Per Capita ’ (1975) (1987) Fresh vegetables 66.6 78.6 Canned, frozen vegetables 103.0 104.2 Fresh fruits 81.5 98.6 Canned, frozen fruits , . 15.0 12.1 Fresh potatoes 50.5 45.1 Processed potatoes 24.7 30.2 In 1987, Americans consumed 169 pounds of grain products, an increase of about 20 percent since the mid-19705. Consumption of all types of cereal increased, and flour used for bakery products increased. Cereal use in pasta products as well as rice consumption nearly doubled during these years. Breakfast cereal consumption also continued to increase. At 15 pounds per person, the U.S. population eats the most breakfast cereal in the world. At 24 pounds, per capita cheese consumption in the United States has increased 67 percent from the mid-19705. Lowfat milk consumption has sharply increased its share of the market, but total U.S. per capita milk consumption, at 26 gallons, is 12 percent less than in the mid-19705. Also, Americans aren’t consuming as much coffee and tea, but soft drink consumption is up. Total consumption of alcoholic beverages — beer, wine and spirits — has been essentially unchanged during this period. 12-20-89 Source: R.L.

Hints for safe entertaining Holiday entertaining often brings family and friends together. But if someone drinks too much and then drives, an accident may occur that could remove loved ones from holiday celebrations — perhaps forever. Here are some hints to make holiday celebrating saver for everyone: Have non-alcoholic beverages available. When serving alcohol, always serve high-protein foods such as cheese and meats which slow the rate at which the body absorbs alcohol. Don't have an open bar. Use a non-carbonated base if making an alcoholic punch. Stop serving alcohol about an hour before the party ends.
