Didnt? ~ Aw iran, N ars er The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 20, 1991 13 COMMUNITY Prisoners sell $3000 worth of GS cookies The L.I.LF.E. Association at the State Correctional Instutution at Dallas has just concluded their Annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale Project. This marks the sixth year the men have offered the cookies for sale at the prison, and each year the amount of money raised through their efforts has climbed higher. This year over 1,200 boxes of cookies were sold to the inmates at the Dallas Prison. The end result is that over $3,060 was raised to benefit the Girl Scout Organiza- tion. This year's proceeds will be divided among several local Girl Scout troops. In addition to the Girl Scout Cookie Project, the L.I.LF.E. Asso- ciation also sponsors a yearly Runathon that has raised thou- sands of dollars for the Big Brother / Big Sister Organization. These are just some of the ways lifers strive to make real and lasting contribu- {m@ions to society. They are very proud of their affiliation with organiza- tions like the Girl Scouts and hope that it will continue for many years to come. The L.ILF.E. Association is an approved inmate organization ini- tiated in May of 1975 to help in- mates. It is open to all lifers with an associate membership for inmates who are rot lifers. ® ions Club slates March 24th breakfast The Harveys Lake Lions will hold their annual Pancake and Sau- sage Breakfast at the Lake- Noxen Elementary School, Harveys Lake on Sunday, March 24, from9a.m.to 1 p.m. Tickets will be available from any Lion member or at the door.

He has always been a bit chubby, but now he'sin elementary school and other children are making fun of his size. What can I do to help him lose weight? Childhood and adolescent obesity are increasing rapidly in this country. Obesity increased by about 40° percent in both children and adolescents between 1971 and 1985, according to arecent medical study. Unfortu- nately, that's not the end of the bad news. The same study also found that an estimated 80 percent of obese ado- lescents become obese adults. Shaking off an early start as an overweight child is not easy, and too often obesity becomes a life-long issue. : When a child's weight is above his or her ideal body weight by more than 20 percent, the risk of complica- tions associated with being overweight increases dra- matically. At 100 percent or 100 pounds (whichever comes first) over ideal body weight the condition is called morbid obesity. Doctors consider this situation of extreme excess weight to be dangerous and requires immediate attention and treatment. Why some children become excessively overweight is the subject of a number of studies including several recent efforts to understand the hereditary contribution. There are as yet no definitive answers to that question. Television is blamed as a heavy contributor to the problem. Statistics show that the average child spends more time in front of the television than in the classroom. Not only does that mean sitting idly and watching for many hours, but experts contend that eating "junk" food is part of the routine. One study, in fact, discovered that the time spent watching television is the single most important predictor in determining whether a child would goon to become an obese adolescent. Strict diets are not necessarily the proper way to approach weight loss programs for your child. A very low calorie weight-control plan can retard growth and development, including sexual maturity. A positive and | beneficial approach for both child and parent is to reform the child's eating habits. Best results can be realized if the entire family is involved. Set a good example by taking up healthy eating and exercise habits yourself. A weight-loss program will undoubtedly mean that your child will eat fewer calories, but the reductions are modest, to around 1,500 calories per day. Emphasis should be placed on making good food choices. Include raw and cooked vegetables, fish, less red meat and less fatty and fried foods, and less butter and sugar. You should not force the child to eat everything on his plate. Serve smaller portions and no seconds; substitute fresh fruits and low-calorie frozen fruit bars for ice cream and sweets, Encourage your child to eat only at prescribed meal times with no snacking in between. This can be accomplished by leaving those tempting, but fattening, snacks off the grocery list. Build a supportive group of family members, includ- ing grandparents, and the child's school teacher as well. Provide your child with opportunities to participate in athletic activities that are fun but not overwhelming or difficult for a child who is overweight. Being overweight or obese is a serious problem that can last a lifetime and even decrease a person's life expectancy and quality of life. Solving the problem takes determination from you and your child. Approach the problem rationally and with care. Draw up a plan (with your doctor's guidance) with reasonable goals and enough time to attain them.
