CHAMBERSBURG (Franklin
Co.) Anne Eliza Main of Mer
cersburg has won the right to wear
the crown as Franklin County’s
1995 dairy princess.
She captured that title during
the county’s 28th Annual Dairy
Princess Pageant held at the Light
house Restaurant.
Anne, who goes by the nick
name of Libby, is the daughter of
Charles and Liza Main. She is a
1995 graduate of the James Buch
anan High School.
She will be attending Gettys
burg College this fall.
Anne has plenty of experience
with the dairy industry because
her family farms 225 acres and has
175 head of Holstein cattle.
She is the “support staff’ on the
farm, meaning that she helps with
everything needed to keep the
operation going.
In addition to working on the
farm, Anne’s activities have in
cluded serving on her high
school’s student council and parti
cipating in the Cherish Chain.

Taking Time
(Contlnutd from Pag* BIT)
Redirection—lf your grand
child is misbehaving, stop them.
Explain why you dislike the
action, and then suggest a better
action or different game to
substitute.
Fix-Up—When your grand
child causes trouble or hurt,
expect her to fix it up or at least
help. If this is a new idea, he may
need you to show him how.
Be Firm—Clearly and firmly
state that your grandchild do what
needs to be done. Don’t be wishy
washy. Speak in a tone that lets
your grandchild know that you
mean what you say. This doesn’t
mean yelling or threatening.

Franklin County Selects Dairy Princess
As part ot the pageant, Anne
and the other contestant, Tia Crid
er of Chambersburg, had to an
swer the question, “How do you
feel being raised on a dairy farm
will impact your life?”
Anne said she felt her farming
experience would affect all the de
cisions she will make because she
has a great respect for the hard
work needed to run a farm and for
the importance of following
through with a job.
She said she also has learned
how important it is to be respon
sible for what you do.
The skit Anne staged during the
pageant presentation competition
was geared toward elementary
school students who are fans of
the “Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers” television show.
She dressed as a giant white
milk drop and called herself the
“Mighty Moiphin Milk Drop.”
During her entertaining pro
gram, she pulled different dairy
products from her costume and
talked about their nutritional ad
vantages. After each product, she
made a karate move like the Pow-
reissue the “Red Cookbook.”
Last week, the Grange’s petition
became reality when the reprinted
cookbook became available for
purchase.
The brightly colored cookbook
with more than 1,500 recipes and
480 pages sells for $l3 plus $3 for
shipping and handling.
“I like the cookbook because the
tations for behavior is the trick. If
you are predictable in your exnec
tations and in your response to
behavior, children will get the
message.
Finally, as a grandparent, know
when to say “No.” I always say to
parents that it’s hard to be a good
parent if you are not taking care of
yourself. The same thing goes for
grandparent!!. Take good care of
yourself. Make sure that you are
able to rest when you need to and
that your schedule still allows
time for you to visit with your
friends. This allows you to give
the best to your grandchildren
when you’re together, whether
that’s one day a month or every
afternoon.

Anne was crowned by 1994
Dairy Princess Larissa Mellott
Crider, who will be alternate
dairy princess for the coming year,
is the daughter of Dennis Crider of
Crider Dale Farms,-a 130-acre
operation with 110 Holstein cattle.
She will be a senior at Cham

She is a membei of her local 4-H
club, the county 4-H Council, a
participant in the 4-H Dairy Bowl,
and is a member of her school’s
Art Club and volleyball team.
Tia answered the question
about how living on a farm has af
fected her life by saying the ex
perience “has taught me responsi
bility , not to neglect things and to
stay with the job and do my best at
it”
Her skit focused on how milk
helps to strengthen muscles.
To make her point, Tia came
out dressed in a baseball uniform
and began to exercise to get ready
for a game. After getting her two
to four servings of milk a day she
had plenty of strength to hit a
home run right out of the park.
recipes are simple and easy to
read,” Sandy said.
A special diet foods with heart
healthy recipes and microwave
cooking sections and an casy-to
reference index have led to this
cookbook being nicknamed “the
cook’s helper,”
The recipes found in the “Red
Cookbook” are not available in

book” also contains a section with
household hints, measurements,
substitutions, and cooking
equivalents.

National Grange Glory of Cooking
cookbook is also available for $B.
The State Grange has more than
33,000 members and is a rural,
agricultural, and community ser
vice organization dedicated to
improving the lives of
Pennsylvanians.
Sandy said that she and her hus
band Dennis joined the Grange in
H 984.
“I love to meet people and it’s a
community organization that is
always doing things for the com
munity,” Sandy said.
The E-town Grange raises funds
at the E-town Fair Milkshake
stand.
Sandy grew up on a Bainbridge
area dairy farm. Although she no
longer lives on a farm, she con
tinues to hold an interest in agricul

works to pass legislation favorable
to fanners.
