York 4-H'ors plan dairy promotion * Milk promotion efforts are expected to soar to un precendented heights with a June Dairy Month effort being planned by the Milk and Money 4-H Dairy Club. Members are organizing a balloon launch for June 8 during the annual Blevins Fruit Farm Strawberry Festival near Stewartstown. Balloons will be sold at 50 cents each with dairy product prizes for launchers whose balloons travel the furthest. Balloons will carry the promotional message that June is dairy month and may be purchased ahead of time as well from any club member. During the festival, club members and leaders will also be selling strawberries and ice cream as a fundraiser. Club member Kelly Morris, above, plans to be in the front line for the launch on June 8 at the Blevins Strawberry Festival near Stewartstown.

How much water is needed during physical exer cise? What kind of food should one eat before a game? Do young athletes have special vitamin and mineral requirements? And are there things they can take to boost their stamina 7 " Maintaining the body’s water balance during physical exertion is of prime importance, says Cheryl Carmichael, a student dietitian at the University of Delaware During exercise, heat production results in water loss through perspiration, as well as the loss of some body salts and electrolytes. Electrolytes are chemical com pounds whose ions are capable of breaking up or disassociating in water. Three of the most common elements in these compounds are sodium, potassium and chloride. Electrolytes are important in maintaining an acid-base balance in blood and body tissues. If the water lost during exercise is not replaced, an athlete may become dangerously overheated and dehydrated. Effects of dehydration include fatigue, in creased body temperature, in creased pulse rate and, if severe enough, circulatory collapse. “How much water you need depends on how hot the weather is, and on the level and duration of activity,” Carmichael says. “Schedule regular water breaks during exercise. Afterwards, drink enough water to reach your pre exercise weight." Thirst is a poor indicator of fluid needs, she ex plains. People who rely on thirst to signal fluid needs are likely to replenish only about half the water lost. Excess perspiration increases the loss of sodium, potassium and chloride, as well as water, from the body. Is it necessary to replace these, too, after exercise? STEEL BALE THROW RACK *lo7s°° .

Instead of eating sweets and “quick” foods, she recommends that a pre game meal: • Provide enough substance so the athelte doesn’t feel hungry during competition; • Be relatively low in sodium and fiber; •Be low in fat, modest in protein, and relatively high in carbohydrates so that it can be digested more rapidly. High protein, high fat pre-game meals stay in the stomach longer and may interfere with breathing. • Include any food the athlete feels makes him or her win, or Linda Szeliga wins Alfred award ALFRED, NY - Linda Szeliga of Alfred Station RD 1 has been named 1985 Outstanding Agronomy Club Member at Alfred State Agricultural and Technical College.

Eat this meal three to four hours before the competition. Strenuous exercise immediately after a meal may result in nausea, vomiting, stomach distress and cramping. The use of vitamin and mineral supplements by athletes to im prove performance remains controversial, Carmichael says. However, present evidence shows no apparent benefits. The required amounts of nutrients can usually be supplied by a diet composed of a variety of nutritious foods, although female athletes whose menstrual losses are heavy may require an iron supplement. Substances that increase the body’s ability to work are called ergogenic. Many athletes claim that certina ergogenic aids im prove performance. But there is no scientific evidence that wheat germ, honey, bee pollen, lecithin, brewers yeast, vitamin C, kelp, gelatin, sunflower seeds, or vitamin or protein supplements have any special value in enhancing endurance. “Overall,” says Carmichael, “the key to optimum athletic performance is a sound mind, sound body and sound eating habits. An athlete’s diet must include enough calories for energy, enough water to maintain the body’s water balance, and a variety of foods to ensure that all nutrient requirements are met.” on contributions to the club. Earlier this semester, Mrs. Szeliga, a senior Agronomy major, was a member of the college’s soils judging team which placed second in national competition. She had the 12th highest individual point total in that event which was sponsored by the National Association of College Teachers of Agriculture. “ €9 Phone 215-944-7681 A LESSON WELL LEARNED...
