Page 10 • August 25, 2011 • Mountain Mail • mountainmailnews.com Rockin’ the Brown Bag: School Lunch Improv(ed) By Nancy Newberry School’s in, the routine is set, and lunch is already boring. Adventurous kids everywhere are rolling their eyes at the sandwich, apple, and cookie routine (except for the cookie, of course). But it isn’t hard to rock the lunch bag, and still pack a healthy lunch that stokes a lot of energy. The extras require very little effort, and not much cash. Our mantra is that the least healthy and most expensive lunch is the one that comes home smushed in the bottom of the backpack. First, master the basics. A good lunch needs a few things: a couple ounces of meat, cheese, eggs or beans for protein; bread or something like it for energy; fruit and vegetables for fiber and vitamins; something to drink; and something to love. Lunch needs to be easy to eat: most school lunchtimes are as short as 20 minutes. The sandwich is a staple because it’s convenient. Add variety by deconstructing the sandwich. Instead of bread, use crackers, a bagel, a seeded roll, or a tortilla. Tear the sandwich down completely: roll up ham slices, or cut cheese chunks; pack hummus, pepper and celery sticks, and mini pita. A good lunch hint: everything mini is more fun. Make it easy on yourself with a little planning ahead. Stockpile good condiments: tangy mustard, a sharp sweet pickle, or an intensely fruity homemade jam can completely change the picture. Stockpile small sweets. Make batches of cookies when it’s convenient, and store them in the freezer (labeled as “liver scraps for Buster” if necessary). Buy flats of milk or juice boxes. When you cook for the week, cook for lunch leftovers, too. A few extra noodles become a pasta salad just by adding dressing and chopped vegetables. Extra potatoes, beans, and even last night’s Chicken Caesar salad can make a stunning wrap. Extra chicken allows you to whip up a quick chicken salad; pack it on a seeded roll. Sunday’s breakfast bacon plus some avocado, tomato, and lettuce becomes Monday’s California BLAT. Many dinner foods are just as good eaten cold as hot: think of quiche or a meatball sammy. Replace that smashed banana or bruised apple with a fruit salad. This means nothing more than cutting up a few pieces of fruit, and squeezing a lemon and a little honey over Fruit, hummus and pita make for a healthy school time meal. the top, to keep the fruit from browning and to add a little sweetness. When fruit salad gets tired, change the combination, choosing fruit in season. For early fall, mix peach and mango with a sliced strawberry. For late fall, chop an apple with raisins, nuts, and add a little cinnamon. In winter, mix citrus with pistachios. Tiny containers and snack-size zipper bags make this easy for you, and easy for kids to eat. Often people worry about whether lunches are perishable or not. Most guidelines now say that anything eaten within 4 hours of coming out of a refrigerator will be fine. You can hedge your bets by freezing that juice box or cup of applesauce, but unless the gap between packing and eating is long, you can stop worrying. Spend your parental energy packing a love note or a fun sticker in the bag instead. Improvise. Be creative. Be bold. Get the kids to play “What’s in your refrigerator” and plan with you if you have the energy. But don’t be boring. Fast Fruit Salad Serves 2 1 cup cut fresh fruit in season, any kind (strawberries, mango, peach; pluot, peach, cantaloupe; apple, pear; orange, banana, pear) 1 teaspoon honey ½ teaspoon lemon juice Stir together the fruit, honey, and lemon juice. Pack into 2 small containers. California BLAT Serves 1 2 teaspoon mayonnaise 1 spinach tortilla 1 spear Romaine lettuce 2 slices tomato 2 slices crisp cooked bacon 3 slices avocado Spread mayonnaise down the center third of tortilla. Place lettuce, tomato, bacon and avocado over mayonnaise. Fold up bottom third of tortilla, and tightly wrap sides, leaving top open.

mountainmailnews.com • Mountain Mail • August 25, 2011 • Page 11 Think “F-A-S-T” for early warning signs of stroke By Aila Ryan Stroke is an umbrella term for a common acute onset event that affects mainly middle aged and elderly Americans. The term “stroke” actually refers to a problem with the blood flow to the brain causing tissue death. The most common form of stroke is called an acute ischemic stroke. This is caused by a blockage to the arteries leading to the brain. Acute ischemic strokes can be further subdivided into two types: thrombotic, and embolic. Thrombotic strokes are caused by a blood clot forming within the arteries in the brain itself. Thrombotic strokes can be even further subdivided into large-vessel and small-vessel thromboses depending on their locations in the brain. Large-vessel thrombosis affects larger arteries within the brain, while small-vessel thrombosis, also called lacuner stroke, affects smaller arteries leading to the more remote parts. Thrombotic strokes are the most common form of stroke. Embolic strokes occur when a blood clot forms in a different artery and travels to the brain where it essentially gets stuck, thereby blocking blood flow to the relevant area. These are marginally less common than thrombotic strokes. Ischemic strokes can be treated with tissue plasminogen activator, Classifieds FREE CLASSIFIEDS!

It is derived from an enzyme found in endothelial cells, which line the insides of blood vessels. It helps break up blood clots allowing blood to return to the blocked off areas, and increasing the likelihood of recovery. After treatment with tPA, many stroke symptoms are lessened, if not reversed completely. However, the drug is only effective within the first three hours of the onset of the stroke, after which it can cause dangerous bleeding in the brain. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of ischemic stroke patients actually receive tPA, mainly due to the delays in seeking treatment. Stroke symptoms are often written off as minor, and ignored for days before seeking medical attention. As such, the effects can be permanent, and recovery difficult and often incomplete, so it is iomportant to know the symptoms of ischemic strokes and call 911 immediately upon onset, even if it seems silly or unnecessary and the patient feels fine. A mnemonic device has been developed to help the public recognize the symptoms in themselves and family members in an attempt to minimize loss of brain function in patients.

Musical comedy comes to Finley Gym The Glass Harp, the latest production of the Socorro Community Theater at Finley Gym, has long been considered among enthusiasts as one of the lost treasures of the musical theater. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28. Directed by Eileen Comstock, the cast features Jo Ann Powers, Darlene Torres, Jake Foley, Yvonne Allbritton, and Jane Anderson. The Glass Harp, by Kenward Elmslie and Claibe Richardson, is based on the novel by Truman capote. The story tells of Dollyheart, a sweet-natured spinster with a secret recipe for an elixir cure, and her demanding sister, Verena, who is determined to exploit the recipe for her own purposes. When tensions rise, Dollyheart leaves her sister’s house with their orphaned teenage nephew and longtime housekeeper in tow to take up residence in a tree house. It isn’t long before other outcasts join their extended family including the revivalist Babylove and the children who comprise her Miracle Show, and the dearly eccentric Judge Cool. The deep emotional currents of these shifting relationships lead to an uplifting, compelling reconciliation. The Grass Harp is a Broadway cult favorite and anyone who has experienced its emotional tug and exhilarating score easily understands why. Babylove, played by Yvonne Allbritton, surrounded by her adoring children.
