life-threatening genetic diseases —
strikes both adults and children. It
often leads to the need for dialysis
and a kidney transplant. It affects
thousands in America and millions
worldwide, who are in urgent need
of treatments and a cure.
Walkers are devoted to supporting PKD research and creating

EMPLOYEES AT MERITOR WORLD HEADQUARTERS completed 3,970 pushups as part of a worldwide viral pushup challenge
to honor those who serve and raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention. In addition, the company contributed $5,000
from the Meritor Trust to provide outreach and resources for active-duty members and veterans. On average each day, 22 veterans commit suicide. As part of the 22KILL challenge, Meritor uploaded a video to YouTube that demonstrates its commitment to veterans and the passion of its employees. 22KILL’s goal is to log 22 million pushups by people around the world. Army
Reserve 1st Lt. Dave Rice of Davisburg, Michigan, who is a manager of Product Validation Program Management for Meritor,
demonstrated military-style pushups with Army Sgt.1st Class Paul Miller, Sgt. 1st Class Juan Martinez and Staff Sgt. Christopher

Troy Family Daze Takes Over Civic Center
If there’s one thing the Troy
Family Daze committee hopes for this
year, September 15, 16, 17 & 18, it’s
sunny weather. Last year, rain was out
to spoil the weekend for the thousands of local residents who look forward to the weekend filled with midway rides, food, community booths
and entertainment.
For the second year, the festival,
now in its fourth decade, will be held
on the Troy Civic Center grounds at
the intersection of Troy Center and
Civic Center Drives, by the tennis bubble and Troy Family Aquatic Center.
The first event of the weekend on
Thursday
evening
is
the
Naturalization Ceremony for new
American citizens at 6 p.m. The
League of Women Voters will be on
hand to register them for our interesting November election.
This is a great night to attend
Troy Family Daze because from 4 to 9
p.m. you can ride 10 rides for $10.
However, you will need the coupon,
which you can print off on their website: troyfamilydaze.com. Just click on
the “10 for $10” right at the top of the
home page. Get a coupon for each
child; be a sport.
And, yes, there will be fireworks
on Saturday evening, weather permit-
ting, at 9:45 p.m. (Sunday if it rains.)
“We looking forward to a weekend filled with adventures and fun for
the entire family,” says Troy Family
Daze long-time supporter Tom
Kaszubski. “People asked for more
rides and our ride vendor has three
new rides, including the Demon Drop,
which was mentioned by a number of
fairgoers last year, and another ride
that looks pretty scary to me,” he
added with a smile.
There are, of course, lots of rides
for the younger generation, too. In fact
there are many activities for the kids
at this event. Children’s Hospital of
Michigan will once again be there with
games and prizes in the Children’s
Area. The Animal Oasis, sponsored by
Kelly Services, returns and those
goats love the kids, and Rosco the
Clown will be all over the grounds
with his balloons.
Zippity2Dads return on Friday
evening at 5:30 and 7 p.m. and again
on Saturday at noon and 1:30 p.m.
Amazing Clark Magic follows on
Saturday at 2, 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. And,
if there’s a would-be performer among
the younger set, they will certainly
want to explore the Cirque Amongus,
where they can discover the Big Top
Within.
Also on Saturday, there’s a Battle
of the Dance Studios and studios from
across the metro area will compete,

When Paul Trosper, Troy’s Water
& Sewer operations manager, took
the podium at the last Troy City
Council meeting and said he was
there to talk about FOG, you could
see the strange looks on many peoples’ faces.
He didn’t mean those low
clouds that block our view on the
roadways. Trosper was talking about
Fat, Oil and Grease...FOG. It seems
restaurants and residents are putting
too much of these three culprits
down our drains, including through
our garage disposals.
“It’s one of the biggest challenges we have in maintaining the
drains,” he told council. He
explained that over time FOG builds
up in the sanitary sewer lines and
can cause backups.
The EPA has determined that
sewer pipe blockages are the leading
cause of sewer overflows; FOG is the
primary cause of sewer blockages.
To avoid this from happening,
the city is going to have an educational campaign to teach all of us,
from restaurant owners to residents,
how to better get rid of the FOG.

Keep FOG Out of the Troy Sewer System
CITY COUNCIL, From page 1
Oh, you say, that little bit of
bacon grease you put down the disposal won’t hurt anything. It might
flush through this time, but it’s going
to harden and stop some place.
Trosper noted that incidents where
someone roasts a turkey in hot oil
and then flushes that oil have happened in Troy, causing problems.
That oil settles someplace.
Common sources of FOG in the
home include: fried foods, cooking
meat, gravy and sauces, mayonnaise
and salad dressings, butter, ice
cream, and other dairy products.
They’re best religated to the garbage.
When restaurants do this with
oil from deep frying, for example, it
can stop up an entire plaza’s sewage
system, and it has happened. Be forewarned. If the blockage is in your
home or business, you’ll be responsible for the cost of fixing it.
It only takes a bit of paper coming
through the system and attaching to
the grease to start picking up debris
and causing a blockage in the system.
Best, Trosper advises, “can” the
grease. Take a metal can and line it
with a heat-resistant oven cooking
bag, like you’d use on a chicken or
pot roast. When it’s filled, you can
seal it and toss it in the garbage. Or,
take an old spaghetti sauce jar, with a
lid, pour the “cooled” oil or grease
into that container and when it’s
filled, toss it in the garbage.
Don’t put animal fat in the disposal, either. No cutting off the extra
fat on the corned beef or pot roast
and putting it in the sink. Scrape it
into the garbage.
One word of warning. The older

The Fantasy – and Failure of FrankenFoods
PERSPECTIVES
by
PETER MAURER
Decades ago,
science promised
historic changes in
food crops and
yields across the globe, not only to
meet the challenge of an everincreasing population, but to address
the needs of a large – and growing –
agribusiness in the U.S..
Monsanto, and to a lesser degree
Archer-Daniels Midland (ADM), rapidly bioengineered a series of seeds
that were resistant to various pests
and pesticides, most notably
Monsanto’s Round-Up weed killer.
The seeds were designed to be
resistant to the weed-killer, so that
farmers could spray and kill the weeds
without having to worry about
destroying their crop. Despite public
outcry, and the EU’s now-forgotten
decision to not allow imports of genetically-altered grains from America –
nick-named ‘Frankenfood’ – the practice has continued unabated.
Although science repeatedly
insists that these GeneticallyModified Organisms (GMOs) pose no
threat to humans, there are scores of
anecdotal research that suggest otherwise. With food allergies at alltime highs, irritable bowel disease
increasing, and gluten sensitivity off
the charts, what other culprit could
there be?
I am not a research scientist, nor
a medical doctor, but when you look
at the statistics of health problems
that correspond to the introduction
of GMO crops, the concurrency and
conclusion are hard to ignore.
My best friend knows of a farmer
who left a pile of unwanted GMO
seed corn in his field several years
ago.
To date, it sits largely
untouched. He reports that animals
and insects won’t touch it, and it
seemingly won’t decay.
The corn rootworm, in the farming business known as the “Billion
Dollar Pest”, is making a big comeback in the Cornbelt, despite the
development of Bt corn seed
designed to kill the pest. It would
seem that more of the rootworm is
becoming resistant to the GMO seed,
something that natural selection
would guarantee, much like the problem we face with our profligate use of
antibiotics for infection.
In spite of Man’s ingenuity, it
would seem that Mother Nature has –
and will always hold – the trump
card. Despite our best intentions
and technology, the best we can
hope for is a temporary respite from
evolution; ultimately, the biological
war that we wage upon our pests will
be lost, not due to lack of effort, but
because of the ability of organisms to
develop resistance to virtually anything we can throw at them.
In the meantime, we are the
guinea pigs, the subjects in a grand
experiment of enormous scale.
Despite assurances from the scientific community, most of us do not feel
confidence and comfort in these
foods nor the companies that produce them.
Today, the majority of our food
comes from 15 crops, many of them
monoculture, leaving them wideopen to disease or some pest that
would wipe them out. Diversity in
processed foods is nearly gone; socalled ‘heirloom’ crops are hard to
come by. But there is hope.
A growing movement for organic
foods, and a return to some of the
heirloom crops that used to grace
our dinner tables, is gaining momentum. The organic selections in produce departments is rapidly expanding, and economy-of-scale is reducing their price to the point where
there is little or no difference.
Organic food is grown on smaller, family farms, and in most cases
the yield is GREATER than that on
the huge, agribusiness farms. So
why is the industrial monoculture
farming industry still so influential?
Money. Lobbyists. Campaign
contributions. FDA decision-makers
who used to work for agribusiness.
Buy organic, buy heirloom, or
plant your own gardens. Why? It’s
only your health at stake, that’s why.

Trick Play Fires Troy High to First Win in Two Seasons
PREP SPORTS
by
BRYAN EVERSON
A gadget play
and a go-go-gadget
catch paved a welcoming way for Troy
High football in their second game of
the season.
The Colts used three first-half
touchdowns to win Thursday night at
Avondale, 21-0, picking up the program's first win since Oct. 24, 2014.
"It's terrific, the best feeling in the
world," senior Connor Wilson said. "I've
been here for three years, and it feels
so good."
It took some time to find the feelgood to kick in, but a late first-quarter
drive that started at the Colts' (1-1)
own 47-yard line eventually saw them
work into field-goal range, and although
a holding call on a jet sweep pushed
them back after what was originally a
modest gain, senior quarterback Scott
Mittelbrun found wide receiver James
Lundy running a fade route on 3rd and
15 from for a 20-yard touchdown with
as many seconds remaining in the quarter to take a 7-0 lead.
"We certainly wanted to start our
offense sooner, but they wouldn't let
us," Troy coach Gary Griffith said.
The Yellow Jackets (1-1) were able
to move the ball in response to Troy's

QUARTERBACK SCOTT MITTELBRUN (5-of-7, 87 yards) prepares the handoff
for junior Mike Abitheira, who also handles kicking duties, during the third
quarter of Thursday night's 21-0 win over Avondale. Abitheira finished with
35 yards on 12 carries, and Teron Kinnard led the way on the ground for the
Colts with 47 yards on 11 attempts.
first touchdown, but facing 4th and 5 at
Troy's 29, receiver William Fahoume
couldn't pull down the catch at around
the five-yard line.
Several good breaks fell the Colts'
way several drives later leading them
to pad the lead. First, a handoff resulting in a fumble on the second play of
possession was overturned after an initial ruling that would have resulted in
Avondale ball. On a third down later in
the drive, off-setting penalties following
a play where Mittelbrun was sacked
gave Troy a do-over, and a fake reverse
sucked in Avondale's defenders over
the top, allowing Wilson to find Givon
Cinque for a 59-yard catch-and-run
touchdown to make it 14-0 with 5:10 left
to go before the half.
"It was a momentum thing," Griffith
said. "We had the wind, they were jamming us up pretty good on the inside,
and we thought we had a pretty good
chance to make a big play. He made a
good pass, [Cinque] made a nice catch.
It was probably the biggest play of the
game."
Following another three-and-out by
the Yellow Jackets, Troy made it a threescore game in less than a minute. Early
in the 63-yard drive, Mittelbrun did the
heavy lifting by rolling out of the pocket
to his right and finding Lundy just barely in-bounds, but shortly after, Lundy
stole the show when he posted up on a
defensive back, leaping and making a
spectacular one-handed grab at the
apex of his jump 30 yards downfield to
move the ball inside the red zone.
Mittelbrun put nice touch on a fade to
the back-left corner of the end zone on
the next play as Danny Sully's touchdown catch made it 21-0, but it was hard
to move past what Griffith called "one of
the better catches you're ever going to
see in high school football."
"He went up with one hand like he
was going to palm a basketball and
brought it down, and we were simply
amazed," Griffith said. "We have to have
those kinds of plays to compete, and
we haven't had enough of them."
Even Lundy himself seemed a
slight bit awe-struck by the highlightreel grab.
"I don't know how I caught it but I
did," Lundy said. "It was all that adrenaline."
Avondale wasn't without several
more opportunities of its own, but Troy
managed to come up big and stop quarterback Chance Chatman and the
hosts' offense. Senior Fred Reynolds
picked off the senior once inside Troy's
10-yard line, and on the ensuing drive
where Vince Wright picked up several
good gains to again approach deep
within the red zone, the Colts thwarted
Will Johansson a yard short as he
threatened to leap across the pylon on
fourth down early in the fourth quarter.
"We had that goal-line stand, that
felt so good," Wilson said. "We just kept
playing as a team and believed in each
other. If we play like that, we won't be
beat."
Some solid work in the ground
game allowed Troy to chew up the
clock and pitch just the second shutout
for the program this decade.
"They were doing a lot of good
things," Griffith said of Avondale. "I
think they're a big-play offense, and for
the most part we kept them to lessthan-huge plays, got a couple
turnovers. A much better performance
than last week."
The Colts will look for their first
home win when Bloomfield Hills visits
next Friday.

Drinking, Drugs and Driving
Don’t Mix Well in Troy
POLICE
PATROL
by
CYNTHIA KMETT
n Look for this
one at next year’s
Dream Cruise. Victim
parked and locked
his red 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS in the
parking lot at Barnes & Nobel on John R
and entered the business for just about
20 minutes. When he returned, he
noticed unknown suspect(s) had stolen
his vehicle.
n
Please, please don’t ever do
this. This Troy resident met a subject on
Facebook who identified himself as
“Charlie”. The subject told the victim he
was from London and that his business
was in trouble. He told her he needed to
borrow money and when the business
was back up and running, he would pay
her back. On 7/18/2016, she wired $7,500
to an address in Sabah, Malaysia. On
8/22/2016, she wired $7,000 to an address
in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia.
On
8/23/2016, she wired $7,000 to the same
address in Lampur, Malaysia.
n
At least she listened to her
attorney. Officer was assisting in the
investigation a vehicle crash at 14 Mile
and I-75 and was speaking with the atfault driver, a 23-year-old female from
Warren. She advised the officer that she
was just returning from a drinking establishment and when asked how much she
had been drinking, she refused to answer
stating she wanted to speak with her
attorney first. After contacting her attorney, she advised the officer she would
consent to perform sobriety tests (good
advice, not taking the PBT has consequences). The officer noted an odor of
alcohol emanating from her as she
spoke. She performed several sobriety
evaluations, but the officer noted that
she performed poorly. Here’s why. She
submitted to a Preliminary Breath Test
with a result of .26% – three times the
legal limit. She was arrested and charged
with Operating a Motor Vehicle While
Under the Influence of Alcohol.
n If this happens to you, go right
home an call the card holders. Victim
finished watching the movie in theater
#13 and when she left, she forgot her
fanny pack. When she returned she
could not locate it but discovered one of
the employees found it and turned it in to
the front desk. When she got her property back, she discovered her State of
Michigan Operator’s License, her Chase
Credit Card, her Debit Card, her MJR
Movie Card, and $80 in cash were stolen
by unknown suspect(s).
n She has a whole new set of problems now. An Officer initiated a traffic
stop on a silver 2008 Mazda 6 for a vehicle equipment violation. The officer
spoke with the driver who was unable to
produce any identification. It was later
determined the 26-year-old female from
Shelby Township had her State of
Michigan Operator’s License ‘Revoked’
by the Michigan Secretary of State due to

Virgo Birthday Would Financially Benefit From Projecting a New Image
HOROSCOPE..
by RICH MILOSTAN
Astrologer, Psychic
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
This is a month for finishing up
old matters and making plans for the
future. Miscommunications at work
could be more frequent due to Mercury
retrograde (those who know about it).
Good time to get back to exercising if the
summer heat hindered it. Continue to
learn some skills for the next 12 months
that can make you feel more independent in future career decisions. Astro-Tip:
Reward yourself for daily efforts.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Try
to do more fun things to get balance back. Romance can give opportunities but just have fun for awhile with
them. Work should give you some lighter
loads and be more enjoyable. Be careful
in any decisions you make trying to
increase money. Some unresolved situation won’t be ready to finalize till after
September 25th, collect more information. Trying a new diet will be beneficial.
Astro-Tip: Be good to hips when lifting
things.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Disagreements may occur off and
on with family during this month. Limit
^
_
`
conversations somewhat till after
September 25th when this cycle lifts.
Romance can give you some nice outlets
to do some fun evening things. Those
seeking romance should go after it, especially if you never tried to be with someone by waiting for them to come to you.
Finances stay about the same, but can
improve as the fall progresses.Astro-Tip:
Take a friend out to lunch.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Making appointments this month
could find you rescheduling more frequently due to Mercury retrograde. Good
time to get your home ready for the coming winter months because October and
November have you doing more socializing than usual. A better diet enhances
how you feel, especially in the morning
hours. Make sure anything you learn the
next 12 moths offers future money potential. Astro-Tip: Give employees some
space.
LEO (July 23-Aug-22): Be very
careful in working all money matters until after September 25th. In general you will communicate with more people than you have the lately and some
will do favors for you, if you ask. Children
need more confidence from you rather
than “discipline” for the next six weeks.
Then you will feel much better about
them. Keep diet good when out and
about having fun at different places. Sign
up for a class to learn something that
a
b
interest you. Astro-tip; Catch up on some
paperwork.
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Birthday
month is always good to treat
yourself to something special. The next
12 month emphasis is making more
money (should be easier), defining
where family fits in while you seek personal goals and changing your fun outlets. For the month, start building a new
“image” with new clothes etc., working
your monthly bills smarter and being
more practical in what you want in love.
Those prone to weight gain should tweak
their diet. Astro-Tip: Smile at more people this month, returns!
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Let unresolved past matters slide till next
month for more information is needed to
complete. This is a good time to take a little time for yourself to rebuild your energies. Learn new relaxation skills, read a
good book and don’t watch TV programs
that rev you all up. You’re very likely to
purchase some new clothes. Have more
patience when driving. Don’t always
leave at the last minute going places.
More money is on the horizon. Astro-Tip:
For now, be more frugal food shopping.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21): High
social month, make sure times
meeting with others is the same.
Someone from the past may call wanting
to see you. Watch spending till after
September 25th, more deals will be avail-
c
d
e
able for your needs. Someone close to
you temporarily wants a little space, give
it to him or her. Or, do things with them
that are more relaxing. Group endeavors
to meet new people with your interests
increase. Astro-Tip: Give more eye winks
to people now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21):
Very busy cycle running here and
there, stick to priorities first. The people
you meet are watching your personality.
So remember to project the professional
look in any conversations. You’re very
likely to do fewer things with family not
under your roof as you venture into new
beginnings. If looking to advance career,
wait till after the 25th where others will
be more cooperative in your field. AstroTip: Wear good shoes for better knee
maintenance.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19):
Limit the amount of time you give
to others if your energy has been taxed
lately. The next six weeks are good to initiate passive outlets to rebuild. During
this cycle it is better to finish up old projects rather than starting new ones. Learn
something new that can make future
money. Romance a little slow till you
restructure a lot of your daily routines. At
the end of the month, let more people
know your skill or talent. Fall could be
impressive! Astro-Tip: Relax an hour a
day.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You
probably will focus a lot on
f
g
h
money matters this month. Investing
should be thoroughly thought out, but
not recommenced till after the 25th when
Mercury retrograde goes direct. Mercury
retrograde says think three times before
doing anything. Romance improves the
more the month progresses. Let any family issues slide till the end of the month.
Friends will help you toward some goals
you have, but you may have to ask them.
Astro-Tip: Rid of some clutter.
PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Close relationships will be a focus during this
time. Be more around those who can
help you become more financially independent in the next few years. Career will
be a big area to expand, but wait till after
the 25th before making any big decisions.
Could receive a little surprise money
within the next six weeks. Be alert in your
communications with others to avoid
misunderstandings at this time.
Eliminate deadbeat acquaintances.
Astro-Tip: Dress professionally, people
impressed!

Cognitive Behavior Therapy Could Be Key For Children With Autism
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a
short-term form of therapy that focuses
on changing how a person thinks about
and reacts to specific situations. Used by
therapists for decades, it has been proven
effective for treating a number of problems. During the therapy, patients usually
keep a sleep diary and work with a therapist to identify behaviors that are interfering with sleep. Experts from the University
of Missouri believe that a family-based
cognitive behavioral therapy may be the
key for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have problems sleeping.
To better understand the benefits of a
new, family-based cognitive behavioral
therapy and how it may work to improve
sleep in children with ASD, McCrae and
Micah Mazurek, associate professor of
health psychology, are conducting a sleep
treatment study through the Research
Core at the MU Thompson Center for
Autism
and
Neurodevelopmental
Disorders. Eligible participants must be
between the ages of six and 12, been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and
have experienced problems falling or staying asleep. For more information on the
study please contact the Thompson
Center Research Core at 573-884-6838 or
MuckermanJu@health.missouri.edu.
McCrae suggest that if parents are
noticing that their children with ASD are
having problems—it may be helpful to
check their sleeping habits.

Can You Boost Your Metabolism? Here’s 10 Tips
Boosting metabolism is the holy
grail of weight watchers everywhere,
but how fast your body burns calories
depends on several things. Some people inherit a speedy metabolism. Men
tend to burn more calories than
women, even while resting. And for
most people, metabolism slows steadily after age 40. Although you can't control your age, gender, or genetics, there
are other ways to improve your metabolism. Here are 10 of them.
Build Muscle
Your body constantly burns calories, even when you're doing nothing.
This resting metabolic rate is much
higher in people with more muscle.
Every pound of muscle uses about 6
calories a day just to sustain itself,
while each pound of fat burns only 2
calories daily.
Step Up Your Workout
Aerobic exercise may not build big
muscles, but it can rev up your metabolism in the hours after a workout. The
key is to push yourself. High-intensity
exercise delivers a bigger, longer rise in
resting metabolic rate than low- or
moderate-intensity workouts. To get
the benefits, try a more intense class at
the gym or include short bursts of jogging during your regular walk.
Fuel Up With Water
Your body needs water to process
calories. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism may slow
Total Purchase of
$45 or More
down. In one study, adults who drank
eight or more glasses of water a day
burned more calories than those who
drank four. To stay hydrated, drink a
glass of water or other unsweetened
beverage before every meal and snack.
Also, snack on fresh fruits and vegetables, which naturally contain water,
rather than pretzels or chips.
Should You Try Energy Drinks?
Some ingredients in energy drinks
can give your metabolism a boost.
They're full of caffeine, which increases
the amount of energy your body uses.
They sometimes have taurine, an amino
acid. Taurine can speed up your metabolism and may help burn fat. The
American Academy of Pediatrics doesn’t recommend them for kids and teens.
Snack Smart
Eating more often can help you lose
weight. When you eat large meals with
many hours in between, your metabolism slows down between meals.
Having a small meal or snack every 3 to
4 hours keeps your metabolism cranking, so you burn more calories over the
course of a day.
Spice Up Your Meals
Spicy foods have natural chemicals
that can kick your metabolism into a
higher gear. Cooking foods with a tablespoon of chopped red or green chili
pepper can boost your metabolic rate.
Power Up With Protein
Your body burns many more calo-
ries digesting protein than it does eating fat or carbohydrates. As part of a
balanced diet, replacing some carbs
with lean, protein-rich foods can boost
metabolism at mealtime. Good sources
of protein include lean beef, turkey, fish,
white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, beans,
eggs, and low-fat dairy products.
Sip Some Black Coffee
If you're a coffee drinker, you probably enjoy the energy and concentration perks. Taken in moderation, one of
coffee's benefits may be a short-term
rise in your metabolic rate. Caffeine can
help you feel less tired and even
increase your endurance while you
exercise.
Recharge With Green Tea
Drinking green tea or oolong tea
offers the combined benefits of caffeine
and catechins, substances shown to rev
up the metabolism for a couple of
hours. Research suggests that drinking
2 to 4 cups of either tea may push the
body to burn 17% more calories during
moderately intense exercise for a short
time.
Avoid Crash Diets
Crash diets -- those involving eating
fewer than 1,200 (if you're a woman) or
1,800 (if you're a man) calories a day -are bad for anyone hoping to quicken
their metabolism.

“Nudges” Help Students Order Healthier Lunches
Newswise — With back-to-school
season in full swing, imagine this: Your
child orders lunch via computer and
gets a little message saying he or she
needs to add more nutritious food
groups.
That combination helped some
youngsters pick healthier meals, a
University of Florida Institute of Food
and Agricultural Sciences study
shows.
Researchers caution that their
findings are not generalizable -- given
the small sample size -- but they say
the methods give school lunch programs and parents potential tools to
help children eat more nutritious
meals at school.
According to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, more than 5 billion
school lunches are served daily in the
United States. Additionally, although
99.9 percent of American children
aged 12 to 18 consume fruits and vegetables daily, less than 1 percent eat
the federally recommended amount of
those foods. So the UF study could
show helpful, albeit early, findings.
In a published study in August
issue of the Journal of Economic
Psychology, UF researchers recruited
71 students to participate in the
National School Lunch Program at a
Florida public school.
Two groups of fifth- and sixthgrade students preordered their
lunches via computer. One of those
groups received messages – what
researchers call “nudges” -- indicating
they had not selected all five components of a healthy lunch. Those are
meat or a meat alternative, grain, fruit,
vegetable and low-fat milk.
The control group ordered their
meals in the regular school lunch
lines.
Researchers found the students
in the group that received nudges
chose 51 percent more fruits, 29.7 percent more vegetables and 37 percent
more low-fat milk than the control
group. The group that simply ordered
online without nudges chose 27 percent more fruits, 15.8 percent more
vegetables and 16.3 percent more lowfat milk than the control group.
The study did not examine actual
food consumption.
The nudges come from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate
program. According to its website,
www.choosemyplate.gov/, MyPlate
reminds consumers to find their
healthy eating style and build it
throughout their lifetimes. According
to the MyPlate website, this means:
•
Focus on variety, amount
and nutrition.
•
Choose foods and beverages with less saturated fat, sodium
and added sugars.
•
Start with small changes to
build healthier eating styles.
•
Support healthy eating for
everyone.
Jaclyn Kropp, a UF assistant professor of food and resource economics and the lead author on the study,
emphasized researchers must further

study the impact of nudges on school
lunch selections.
“While more research is needed to
determine the long-term effects of
repeated nudging, there is evidence
that low-cost nudges can encourage
the selection of healthy items in the
school lunchroom,” Kropp said.
Kropp conducted the study with
help from other UF/IFAS researchers
and Sonam Gupta, a senior research
associate with IMPAQ International in
Columbia, Maryland.

A novena is a nine-day period of private or public prayer to obtain special graces, to implore special
favors, or to make special petitions. (Novena is derived from the Latin "novem", meaning nine.) As
the definition suggests, the novena has always had more of a sense of urgency and neediness.

EAST COAST FINISHERS INC
If you are thinking of remodeling, adding an addition, or even painting your
home, you have come to the right place. At East Coast Finishers all work is
done by professionals in their trade.
We are licensed
and insured–
All work done
by professional
craftsmen
A carpenter is not the same person who will paint your home or put up drywall. Each tradesman specializes
only in his trade. All work is done by our crews-- NO SUB CONTRACTORS.
On exterior painting all work has 5 YEAR WARRANTY. Anyone can paint a house, but without the right preparation your job will not hold up more than
1 year.
Because East Coast Finishers has been in business over 40 years WE BACK UP EVERY WARRANTY. WE GIVE 100%, not like companies that warranty
today and are out of business tomorrow.
When doing Historical homes, your regular builder or contractor cannot do this work. Most contractors believe that Durock is plaster because it hardens
quickly. The real plaster on interiors carries 3 coats of plaster. First one is called lime coat or cement coat. That is supposed to wait for cure time which
is around 6-7 days. Once it is applied, the plaster man puts in line on plaster so second coat can adhere (called brown coat) and lets it cure 2-3 days.
Final coat on interior is called ice coat-- there is no sanding in plaster unless you can’t finish it. Right waiting time for curing is 5-6 days before priming.
When using plaster, you want to use oil primer everywhere because plaster adheres best with oil.
When doing Historical homes, it’s all about preparation. Even with newer homes, if you don’t prep it right you will never get your job done right.
If a painter comes to your home and finishes everything in 2-3 days, you will be lucky if the job doesn’t peel in 1-2 years. Preparation work on any home
takes 2-3 days, Painting is easy; preparation takes all the work.
We offer you the following services:
• PAINTING
• PLASTER
• ROUGH CARPENTRY
• FINISH CARPENTRY
• DRYWALL HANGING
• SPECIALIZING IN HISTORICAL HOMES
We buy all windows and
supplies at discount from
ABC Supply– we pass
these savings on to you!
