Dept of Labor reports; Nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline sharply in March (-663,000), and the unemployment rate rosefrom 8.1 to 8.5 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Since the recession began inDecember 2007, 5.1 million jobs have been lost, with almost two-thirds (3.3 million) of the decrease occurring in the last 5 months. InMarch, job losses were large and widespread across the major industry sectors.

With the coming high tourist time soon upon us locally, jobs are hard to find for seasoned workers as well as our young adults. Oursmaller businesses as well those that have the highest number of employees, have had to make major employee cuts.

TO OUR READERS WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!With the economy as it has been, we would like to hear from you about how it has affected your daily life? How will the new stimulusprogram affect you?

Area writers gathered to discuss and share their work at the February meeting of Up North Authors Circle (UNAC) held onFebruary 11 at the Lakewood Library.

After Townsend author Kathleen Marsh gave a brief up-date on the status of Volume II of The Truth About

Townsend, Tom Thielke of Crandon informed the groupthat he is very close to being ready to publish his compre-hensive history of Lakewood. Tom met with a printer re-cently and he shared with the group the things he learnedabout the publication process. The myriad of decisions tobe made once you commit to actually getting your work inprint can be daunting, Tom said, but it is satisfying as

well to see that light at the end of the tunnel. By the next

meeting, I should have a better idea of when the book willbe available for sale.

Then, as he has been doing at previous meetings, Town-send author George Arentz shared another installment ofhis short story Harmonious Carnage. George has beenreading a section of his imaginative sci-fi mystery eachmonth, then spending the next few weeks on writing moreof the story. He is also simultaneously working on a few other pieces, which is how many authors proceed. Questions andpositive comments flew as the group discussed Georges deep and thought-provoking narrative.

A Triple Play For Healthy Bones

Helping children build healthy bones is an important job that all parents should know how to do. Chil-

dren build half of their bone mass during adolescence and reach their peak bone mass by age twenty.

The three most important factors for building healthy, strong bones in your children are calcium, vitamin

D from exposure to sunlight and exercise.

Poor nutrition, lack of outdoor activities and lack of exercise have health experts very concerned as cases

of Rickets in are rising fast in American children. Rickets is a childhood bone disease that is typically

seen only in third world developing countries. It causes the bones to ache and to become deformed

starting at a young age.

According to Dr. James Beaty, President of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, "There's

some early data showing that even a 10 percent deficit in your bone mass when you finish your adoles-

cent years can increase your potential risk of having osteoporosis and fractures as much as 50 percent".

When it comes to American children, the experts believe that poor nutrition combined with too much TV,

internet and computer game time is an issue that parents need to address immediately. "This potentially

is a time-bomb," says Dr. Laura Tosi, bone health chief at Children's National Medical Center in Washing-ton D.C.

What's the solution? Good nutrition, sunshine and exercise.

Calcium is the building block of healthy bones. Foods which are good sources of calcium include fat-free

or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, canned fish with bones, nuts, fruits, vegetables, dried beans, rice bever-

ages, molasses and some leafy greens. The best

source of vitamin D is natural sunlight, that's why

getting outdoors is so important for your children.

When the kids are playing outdoors they are getting

both exercise and vitamin D.

search may really surprise you - click these links for

March is National Nutrition Monthby Bonnie Vrchota [email protected]

You can manage and even lower your cholesterol with plant sterolsplus 30 minutes of exercise a day. These steroidals or phytosterolsare found naturally in some veggie oils, nuts, grain products, fruitsand veggies. Two grams a day with a meal can lower your bad cho-lesterol levels because they reduce the absorption of cholesterol.Good sources of plant sterols are avocados, corn oil (1 tbl), 1/4 c

sunflower seeds or in supplement form. Chooselean meats, chicken, whole grains, fruits & veg-gies, high fiber cereals, oatmeal and beans. Eatless than 10% of your daily calories of saturatedfats. Stay away from trans fats (partially hydro-genated oils) found in fried foods, baked goods,margarines and shortenings. Eat at least twoservings of fatty fish which is high in Omega-3fatty acids. Try eating baked or grilled mackerel,lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna or

salmon once a week. Don't like fish? Take a selenium & Omega-3fatty acids supplement. Add 25 - 30 grams of fiber daily (soluble 7 13 grams). Eat oatmeal, kidney beans, apples, pears, psyllium, bar-ley and prunes. 1-1/2 cups of cooked steel-cut oatmeal & a banana= 10 g of fiber. Walnuts & almonds can reduce blood cholesterol(polyunsaturated fatty acids). Walnuts also help keep blood vesselshealthy and elastic.
