We were actually quite proud of ourselves when we figured out how to “stuff” all our gear into the van— until we remembered the dog. O.K., so we take BOTH vehi cles. There are a few other things that have “slipped” our minds too. Such as the oldest kidlet is duly grounded until Saturday mor for activities totally outside of the “rules”. And our four -month-old son is getting a The Castlegar Sun Page 5B simple ground rules can prevent skirmishes from becoming wars not allowed to enjoy it until Satur day momir Some agreements are REALLY hard to keep though, aren't they? For instance, one family agreement we have is that all chores must be completed” before going on an out ing. But it one of the children does not “live up”, this becomes tricky because one of the ADU! (other- wise known as “older” children) must stay home too. As my partner and I sneak a look at each other, it is obvious that we should have made an agreement about this beforehand. My partner and I have another agreement that since Mom gets up with the baby VERY early most Dad on Thursday 2. Hmmm, this could be tricky indeed Darn! It looks like we have to make some agreements here. Effec tive enough to convince the oldest that no, he isn’t “getting off the hook” and we are not getting “soft’ in our old age, (Not YET anyway) Let’s see ... “O.K. you are coming camping with us ONLY because the rest of the family wants to, but you are still grounded, and therefore will get up at a “reasonable” time on the weekdays to “ride herd” on the other two. This seemed very accept- able to me until I began to realize that my partner has “selective hear- ing”. The two older children would have to set off a bomb before he would roll over and open his eyes in bewilderment, wondering what woke him up. It’s strange, though that the distant ring of the tele- phone will arouse him every time We have since implemented some slight” modifications to that one Every relationship requires good agreements in order to get LIFESKILIS for the young, old and willing Brenda Scatterty over those “for worse” times Many of us harbor great expecta tions of the people with which we carry in relationships. These expec- tations in many cases are never clarified and too often totally mis understood. At times we assume certain actions either meet or do not meet our expectations. For example, if I am extremely agitated and indicate my need for “talking’’, and my partney in turn is in the silent mode, I may assume that he is insensitive to my feelings and couldn't care less if we worked out our problem. On the other hand my New Canada Food Guide surprising’ The new Canada’s Food Guide has a lot of people talking —the public and health profes. sionals alike. Some gasp with disbelief when they see the rec- ommendation for five to 12 serv ings of grain products a day—surely we will all get fat! Others are uncomfortable with the range of serving sizes and the new look. In this case, controversy is good if it gets us thinking about the important messages con- tained in CANADA'S FOOD GUIDE TO HEALTHY EATING One of the main messages is that we should choose lower fat foods more often, while enjoying a variety of food from all four food groups every day Gone 1s the old circle equal emphasis to all four food giving groups. The new guide is designed in a rainbow shape. We can see that the largest part of our diet should come from the top of the rainbow: grain prod ucts, vegetables and fruits foods that are high in carbohydrates. Milk products meat and alternatives are in the two smaller arcs, reminding us that these foods are needed in smaller amounts You may be surprised‘to see the wide ranges of recommended numbers of servings (five to 12 servings for grains, five to ten for vegetables and fruits). The range is there because different people need different amounts of food. The number of servings needed from each group will depend on your age, body size, activity level, whether you are male or female, and if your are pregnant or breastfeeding. If your energy needs are higher, the guide encourages you to choose more servings of grains, vegeta- bles and fruits. The aim is to increase complex carbohydrates and fibre while decreasing dietary fat Key messages in Canada’s Food Guide were designed to help prevent heart disease and some types of cancer while pro- moting a healthy outlook on food and everyday living Another first for the new food guide is a reference to something -other than diet. Being active and feeling good about yourself are important parts of the good health equation In summary, here is how your meals will look. Grains, vegeta- bles and fruits will occupy a larg- er part of your meals than milk products and meat. You may find it helpful to think of the meat as the “accompaniment” to the meal, rather than the main item around which you plan your menu. Your meals will be pre- pared differently also; you will try to cut back on fat, using less and substituting lower fat items where possible.
