On Sunday morning we were
surprised to see a group of heifers
grazing in our fields. From a dis
tance we were not sure if they
were our son’s animals or our
neighbor’s animals. Of course, he
knew they were not his when he
arrive to help chase them. So the
men carefully worked them away
from the highway and toward their
own pasture. The neighbor was
not even aware that they had left
home.
Things do not always turn out
the way that we expect them to
turn out. Recently, we went to
Milk Crucial To Child Development
SYRACUSE, N.Y.
“Whether it’s served plain, fla
vored or as a milkshake, milk is
crucial to bone growth and deve
lopment during childhood. The
best milk for a child is the one
they will drink.” These were the
messages delivered by the Ameri
can Dairy Association and Dairy
what was supposed to be a birth
day celebration for an 80-year-old
man. Upon arriving at the home,
we were met by an ambulance tak
ing his wife to the hospital. Now
that certainly was not what we
expected! Her son went with her
while the man stayed and visited
with his guests who were urged to
stay in order to make the time pass
more quickly. One bright spot was
viewing slides of the family taken
years ago.
One can always hope for the
best and yet we must accept what
ever comes our way.

Council, Inc. (ADADC) to over
7,000 parents and children who
attended the KIDS USA Expo,
held at the Garden State Exhibit
Center in Somerset, New Jersey at
the end of February. A flavored
milk contest, a parent seminar on
encouraging children to drink
milk, and dairy product sampling
highlighted ADADC’s participat
ing in the two-day event.
Flavored Milk Contest
To provide fun, creative ways
to children to drink milk, ADADC
held the first “got milk?” Flavored
Contest. Five children were
selected each day to create an
award-winning flavor using a var
iety of syrups, fruits, cookies and
of course, milk. Headed by the
New Jersey Dairy Princess Simi
Blair, the judges evaluated each
concoction for its taste, appear
ance and creativity. The grand
prize winner received either a
year’s supply of milkshakes or
chocolate milk. Runners-up
received $5O worth of their favo
rite food to drink with milk, and
honorable mentions received $25
worth of their favorite food to
drink with milk.
Parent Education
ADADC educated parents
about the variety of options avail
able to encourage a child to drink
milk at a seminar entitled, “What
To Do If Your Kids Don’t Like
Milk.” Ensuring that growing
children meet the recommended
daily allowance of calcium and
other essential vitamins through
milk and dairy products, is a prior
ity of ADADC. The seminar

focused on such fun devices as
crazy straws, frosty mugs, fla
vored milks and milkshakes to
increase interest in drinking milk.
Other ideas included giving child
ren dairy-rich foods such as
yogurt, cheese, ice cream and
even pudding which is made
with at least two cups of milk.
Teaching fun tools that kids can
use easily at home will increase
milk consumption and have long
term advantages to the child’s
health.
New Jersey’s three largest dairy
processors teamed-up with
ADADC to present an array of
dairy products including:
• Ice cream from Welsh Farms,
Long Valley, NJ
■ • Milkshakes from Tuscan/
Dellwood, Union, NJ
• Chocolate milk from Farm
land Dairies, Wallington, NJ
In addition, Keebler provided
cookies to accompany the milk.
More than 20 articles were
generated in daily and weekly
newspapers about the first “got
milk?” Flavored Contest. Not only
did the articles announce the win
ners and their winning combina
tion of flavors, but they included
children’s comments about their
favorite kind of milk, why they
like milk and what they thought of
the contest Overall, the positive
articles reminded parents and
children of the important role milk
plays in a growing child’s diet
