HONESDALE (Wayne Co.)
What are the most serious prob
lems facing Wayne County teen
agers? According to a'Cross sec
tion of 67 local opinion leaders,
alcohol tops the list. Other top
ranking concerns included tobac
co, sexual activity, pregnancy, and
illegal drugs.
These findings emerged from a
recent survey conducted by Way
ne County Cooperative Extension
as part of its new tobacco control
and youth iniative. Funded by the
Pennsylvania Department of
Health, Penn State Cooperative
Extension is working in six coun
ties to develop community coali
tions dedicated to creating a new
generation of tobacco-free youth.
This effort reflects Extension’s
long-standing commitment in its
4-H programs to youth develop
ment and health.
Alcohol use was clearly seen as
the major problem for local teen
agers with 91 percent of respond
ents listing it as one of the five top
problems facing Wayne County
teens. By comparison, 34 percent
identified use of illegal dnigs in
their top five and 61 percent iden
tified use of tobacco, cigarettes
and/or smokeless products.
Tobacco use among youth
doesn’t get as much publicity as
bobbin lace, and other antique
needleworking as all skill levels
will be represented at the gather
ing. However, those who attend
should be willing to became inter
preters at the Museum when a level
of skill is attained.
There is no charge for the
gathering. Please call (717)
367-4908, for more information.

teenage drinking or drug use, but
it’s a widespread problem,” said
Extension Agent Debra Bryant.
“Unfortunately, what begins as
youthful experimentation can
easily turn into a lifetime of addic
tion to nicotine. Tobacco is often
called a gateway drug, because it
can lead to other risky behavior.”
Why Food Loses Flavor
NEWARK, Del. The chemi
cals responsible for fresh flavor in
foods are present in minute
amounts. How those chemicals
interact with packaging materials
determines the quality, shelf life,
and safety of food products.
“An area only a few atoms thick
controls may chemical processes,”
explains Dr. Robert Keown, a spe
cialist in packaging and polymer
chemistry in the University of
Delaware College of Agricultural
Sciences. “The chemistry of the
bulk of a sheet of polymer film
and the chemistry of its surface
can be very different. This surface
is affected by chemicals in the
environment and by the process
used to produce the film. If the
surface chemicals are reactive,
they can use up all the critical fla
vor molecules in food.”
About 300 distinct chemicals
make up the flavor of orange
juice, for example, but those
responsible for freshness may be

Statewide, about 47 percent of

present in only two parts per mil
lion. This is the equivalent of
adding a teaspoon of flavorant to a
railroad tank car of orange juice.
Lose those chemicals, and the
juice will taste stale.
Keown, who heads the depart
ment of food science, has received
a $40,000 grant from Kraft/
General Foods, Inc. and $40,000
in matching funds from the Dela
ware Research Partnership to
study the effect food packaging
materials have on food flavor. The
focus of this research is the chemi
stry of the membrane on the sur
face of polymer films.
Keown’s findings could lead to
the development of packaging
treatments that extend shelf life by
limiting flavor loss and inhibiting
the migration of off-flavors from
the polymer into the food. The
new information might also be
used to develop packaging that
indicates shelf life expiration.
