Consuming
Thoughts

Now that it is back to school
season and your children are on
the run, it is especially important
that they receive proper nutrition
to help maintain a resistance to
infections. Children often cannot
consume the amount of food in
regular meals that will meet all of
their dietary needs, so snacks are
a great way to add extra nutri
ents to their diets.
Unfortunately candy, soft
drinks, cookies, cakes, and chips
are frequent snacking choices
among children, these foods are
often high in sugar or fat, and
The STREAM MAP OF
PENNSYLVANIA was completed
in 1965 after a thirty-year effort
by Howard Higbee, a former
Penn State Professor.
The map is known as the
LOST STREAM MAP to some
anglers.
Professor Higbee succeed
ed in creating a map of the high
est detail possible...a map that
shows every stream and lake. Me
painstakingly plotted by hand the
location of 45,000 miles of
streams onto a 3 by 5 foot map.
The map sold extremely
well-until it was lost several
years later. Incredibly, the printer
entrusted with the original draw
ing and printing plates declared
bankruptcy, then carelessly
hauled Higbee’s 30 years of work
to a landfill.
The few remaining dog
eared copies became a prized
fisherman’s possession.
Professor Higbee was offered
$4OO for one of his last maps.
And state agencies were forced
to keep their copies under lock
and key.
Experts told Professor
Higbee that reprints were impos
sible, because the maps were
printed in non-photographic blue.
then, in 1991, atthe age of
91, Howard Higbee’s dream
came true. Computers made it
possible to reprint the map.
Howard said, “I never thought I’d
live to see this day."

minerals.
Eating a lot of high-calorie,
low-nutrient snacks can contrib
ute to tooth decay, obesity, and
extra calories at the expense of
other nutrient needs. Choosing
snacks with nutritional benefits is
important for people of all ages,
but it can be especially critical
during the growing years. Yester
day’s high calorie desserts fre
quently become tomorrow’s
snacks.
Therefore, when you select
snack foods, you need to keep the
Pennsylvania, New York, New England, New Jersey, Ohio and Maryland/Delaware are loaded with
great fishing holes...many of them overlooked. Thousands of miles of streams, rivers and lakes are now
easy-to-locate on one map.

The 3 l/2-fool-by-41/2-foot New York map shows 65,000 miles of streams plus lakes. The 3-foot-by-4-foot

REVIEWS
“It is amazingly detailed and
names some creeks in the
Mohawk Valley that can't
even be found on topo
graphic maps.”
—John Pitarres,
OBSERVER-DISPATCH,
Utica
“If you’re looking for the
most definitive maps ever
created depicting every sin
gle creek, river, stream,
pond and lake...then
‘Professor Higbee’s Stream
Maps' are without question
the finest.”
—Howard Brant,
THE NEWARK STAR
LEDGER
“It is in showing where to
find out-of-the-way trout
streams that makes the map
such a treasure to the fish-
erman.”

main goal in mind, which is
maintaining a balanced diet. This
school season, make snacking fun
by letting your children have a
piece of the action.
Try some of these fun ideas:
• With a cookie cutter or paper
pattern in place, let your children
create animals, people, or shapely
creations from whole wheat
bread.
• Make a fruit or vegetable
spread such as grated carrots and
raisins moistened with yogurt,
crushed pineapple with cottage
cheese, or grated cabbage. These
spreads make great dips for car
rot and celery sticks.
• Try quenching your child’s
thirst with a fruit shake made
with milk, juice, fruit, and a
scoop of vanilla ice cream and
blend until smooth. This way,
you can give your child a tasty
snack while adding vitamins, cal
cium, and protein to their diet.
Other snack ideas for your
children: Juicy: fruits; Crispy:
pumpkin seeds, cucumber strips,
toast, cereal mixed with nuts; For
warmth: soups, or apple cider;
For thirst: vegetable or fruit
