It was introduced to the first settler By Dorothy Nell by the Native Americans, who pounded and mixed the fruit with buffalo or deet meat in order to produce pemmican, a greasy but nutritious dietary sta ple of food. The berries were al so mashed and used as a dye for clothing and rugs as well as a poultice for wounds. The cran berry was a versatile fruit to the Indians. The lingonberry, a close rela tive, is found abundantly in northern Europe where lingon berry preserves and jellies are specialties in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. ... And I want a train set Sally McCray of Oak Harbor tells Santa what she wants for Christmas, while her 6-year-old granddaughter, Jorden, waits her turn. Santa made an appearance at the Oak Harbor K mart late November, but has been seen in many other places on the island - even riding the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry. Our first introduction to the cranberry came as a child when everyone strung cranberries to hang on the Christmas tree as garlands, along with popcorn. Many years later the cranberry is used to produce unusual desserts and entrees, especially used in conjunction with such fruits as strawberries, apples and rhubarb. 0ne mt!morab1e year we candled the little "bounce berries," a long, tedious process, but re warding. Safety as important as holiday cheer They are said to have been cal led "bounce berries" through a legend that a lame man who was a cranberry grower stored his ru by-colored fruits in an upstairs loft and used to let them roll downstairs and into his kitchen. The best berries bounced, and the inferior ones "just lay there." Thus the cooks could know which berries to use to adorn their holiday tables. *** CRANBERRY CAKE 1 package lemon cake mix 3 ounces cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup milk 4 eggs 1-1/4 cup ground cranberries 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup ground walnuts 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. mace (optional) Blend cake mix, cream cheese and milk, beat for two minutes at medium speed.

Continued to page 2 Tips for children 's safety suggested The last thing we may think about dur ing the festive holiday season is that some gifts we buy, some decorations we use, or some foods we put out for family and guests could result in accidents and poten tially serious injuries to children. As a reminder that holiday hazards do exist, Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Seattle, the Seattle Poison Cen ter and the Washington chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics offer the following safety precautions. The list is by no means comprehensive. CHRISTMAS TREE SAFETY: Trees should be placed on a solid base and ideal ly kept out of reach of small children. For example, place a small tree atop a table, or if you buy a full-size tree, put it in a cor ner. If possible, fence the tree off by using an unfolding-style portable crib. Use only non-toxic tree preservatives. Keep chil dren away from electrical cords and out lets. Turn off tree lights when you're not home or not using the room, to avoid a potential fire hazard. Packages wrapped with ribbons are a choking hazard and should be kept out of reach of small chil dren who can pul ribbons in their mouths. Dry trees are a fire hazard, so keep them in water and dispose of the tree when the needles start to fall off in large quantities. ORNAMENTS: Bubble light fluids and colored fireplace crystals can be toxic. An gel hair, made of spun glass, can scratch the eyes and irritate the skin and gastroin testinal tract. Keep this and small Christ mas tree ornaments - which pose a chok ing hazard - away from a child's grasp by hanging ornaments high in the tree. HOLIDAY PLANTS: Holly, mistletoe and Jerusalem cherry can be poisonous and should be kept out of reach of chil dren. Poinsettias are not toxic but should be kept out of reach, too. FOOD: Keep infants and toddlers away from hard candy, nuts, popcorn and other treats which pose a choking hazard. ALCOHOL: Gifts which contain alco hol, such as colognes, aftershaves and li quor, can be dangerous to children if swal lowed. Don't put them under the tree where they can be reached by children. Alcoholic beverages are a hazard to ado lescents and adults, as well. Consider serving non-alcholic drinks at parties, and above all, don't drink and drive or mix drugs with alcohol. IF A POISONING OCCURS, or if you Fire department urges caution Bill Sharp, Oak Harbor Fire Depart ment's fire safety officer, offers these tips for the holiday. Safety should always be considered when choosing and decorating a tree. And in some cases, special permits are re quired. • Artificial trees and tree lights must be "UL" listed. • All trees should be made flame re tardant with approved flame-retardant ma terial or be constructed of inherently flame-retardant materials. • Trees six feet or more in height are required to have a permit issued by the fire department. Before the tree is purchased, the fire department should be called for an appointment. • Schools should not place any tree earlier than one week prior to Christmas vacation, and should remove all trees the day before vacation starts. • Support and place the tree properly in water. Never place near sources of heat or in an exit. The tree, standing or falling, should not block an exit or exit pathway in the event of a fire. In natural trees the most important fac tor for safety is freshness. The higher the moisture content, the less likely the tree is 10 dry out and become a serious fl.re haz ard. Stand the tree outdoors in water unlll suspect your child has ingested something he shouldn't, call your regional poison center immediately: -Seattle Poison Center, 206-526-2121 or 800-732-6985 -Mary Bridge Poison Center, Tocoma, 206-594-1414 or 800-542-63 19. TOY SAFETY: No matter what kind of toys you buy for any age child, safety comes first - always. Here are resources for toy safety tnformation: - In the Seattle area, call Children's Resource Lrne at Children's Hospital, 206-526-2500, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The line is staffed by pediatric nurses. -"Child's Play, a Guide to Play and Toys," produced by Children's Hospital, is available free of charge in all Puget Sound area Pay 'n Save drugstores. It covers toy safety as well as toy selection and play activities for children birth to 12 years. -The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission handles complaints on unsafe products and publishes "Which Toy for Which Child: A Consumer's Guide for Se lecting Suitable Toys." Call 800-638-2772 or write CPSC, 5401 Westbard Ave .. Be thesda, Md. 20207. Accord mg 10 the CPSC, 34 children died in toy-related accidents between January 1988 and September 1989, and the agency estimates there were 142,000 toy-related you are ready to move the tree indoors. Bnng the tree in just prior to Christmas and remove as soon afterward as possible. If you hand squeeze the tree branch and there is a large loss of needles, the tree 1s dangerously dry and should be removed. Safety over Christmas should also be considered while hanging lights. Check the indoor tree lights and out door lights each year before using. Look for frayed or bare wiring and cracked sock ets. Any set that is damaged should be thrown out or repaired. All lights should be fastened to the tree securely, and the light bulbs should not come m contact with branches or needles. Cuna.ms and other flammable materials should be kept away from light bulbs at all times. Do not overload extension cord by con- injuries in 1988. Children under five were the largest group wnh injuries. In general, watch for these toy dangers; sharp edges and points; small parts which could be swallowed or pose a choking haz ard for young children; cords or strings (don't use with crib toys); propelled ob jects (make sure children are old enough to use and are aware of dangers); electric toys (should bear the label "UL Ap proved"); small toys that young children can grab and swallow; and toys that arc inappropriate for age (use age guiddmcs on toy packages). Toys which pose specific ha,ards in clude marbles and small balls (choking); toy boxes or chests which lack lid sup ports; plush animals with parts that come off easily (choking hazard); toys with elec tric heating elements, which are not rec ommended for children under eight years of age; and projectile toys such as arrows or darts which don't have protecl!vc tips. Many children receive bicycles for Christmas, and they should come with a bicycle helmet as well. Bicycles are not toys and can lead to accidents wllh seri ous, if not fatal, consequences. Helmets reduce head inJuries by 85 percent. Remember, nothing can subslltute for adult supervision when 11 comes to safety. necting more than three sets of lights on one extension cord, and see that electrical connection joints are kept a\vay from the water supply of the tree. Make certain that all tree lights are turned off when the tree is unattended and when the building is secured for the evening. Decoral!ons must be constructed of in herently fire-retardant matenals or treat ed with an approved fire -retardant materi al. Christmas tree boughs are highly flam mable and cannot be used for decorating. Exit doors, exit lights, fue alarm send ing devices and fire extinguishers cannot be concealed or obstructed by any decora tive matenal. The use of candles requires special con sideration and a permit issued by the fire department. I TH WEB<'S WH BEY TODAY •.. We've Got The Nose For News Seniors .... .. . .... .. ..

December 10, 1!18!) Is a $50 house payment too much? Hey, have you seen the unique ca lendar that Koet1e Agency is dis pensing? We had business wnh them so we appropriated one for next year. Did you know that from 1908 to 1937 you could order a house from Sears Roebuck? Everything needed including the last doorknob. The calendar says that if you had a building site and $650 you could order a new home, and over 100,000 people did just that. So precise were the plans that the pieces went via rail so that each shipment arrived exactly at the right ume 111 the construction schedule (provided it didn't ram forever.) Perhaps the creme de la creme of the structures was the "Magnolia." IL came with columns, balconies, 10 rooms, grand staircase and serv ant's quarters. Rich folks who had $5,140 could also buy a matching outhouse for $39. The item fails to mention if it was one seat or two. As a precaution, instructions came in a leather folder with the owner's name embossed in gold. And the admonition "Do not take anyone's advice as to how the building should be erected. "They had trouble with sidewalk superin tendents even then. To keep a finger in the pie, Sears carried mortgages on the materials and labor. The monthly payment on a palatial $6,000 house was about $50, a princely sum in those days. Then came the Depression and the end of an era. SOMETHING ELSE AGAIN By Allee Elles .... ... ,£, :;_ I Some of the house styles look very familiar, and I would guess that several were erected in the Skagit Valley area, around Conway in par· ticular. This singular calendar is a keep sake, worthy of filing to look at again after the year is up. Especially nostalgic for one age group. One such lady called recently and I related my troubles with a minor flood. The deep sink in the garage overflmved. So what, you say, a ce ment floor is easy Lo mop up. Sure it is. If it doesn't have a disassem bled car engine and car body on most of it. And little puddles of grease, oil and antifreeze that were accidentally spilled and covered with paper and kitty litter. If the floor is absolutely level, you can sweep it out. As it was, a mop was too slow. I did the job on hands and knees in cold water with a huge sponge that the late man of the house had bought so I could wash the car more easily. So it was soak and squeeze, soak and squeeze until my wnsts hurt. Not to mention my butt when l slipped and foll. Or my temper when I slipped again and fell with one arm m the bucket of cold black water which spilled oul again. 1 think I know how to speak in ton gues, as il w..isn't the King's Eng lish that seni the cats scurrying for the rafters. 1 was handicapped in that I didn ' t dare move any tools or the Jack han dle under the wheel. But I prevailed and soon ll was damp but not a swunmmg pool and me wllh no \Ya· ter wings. A friend called Just after that and commiserated, but there was a son of chuckle in her tsk, tsks. She topped my tale wHh hers. When she and her husband bought their first home (less than $4,000), they had an oblong iron kitchen sink. The drain was clogged, so her hero borrowed his Dad's tools and took apart the trap. Such a mess and such an odor. They caught the debris in a big basin. They cleaned out the trap and then her husband pit:ked up the ba sin and automatically emptied it in to the sink open trap. Such a mess and such an odor. So they mopped again, all the while wifey was giving husband what-for. When she paused, he said, "Well, what should I have done with it?" She replied, "You could have done this," and she grabbed the ba sin and did the same thing. Emptied it into the sink. There was nothing left to do but sit on the floor and laugh amid such a mess and such an odor.

The P..ic1fic storms would deposll treasures on the sand not found during the mild summer months. I al'cumulati:d a v-ast collection of the small shdls we called "China men's Hats." They arc from lun pcts, mollusks with shells of a dis tinctivc rnnical shape. These animals arc still tiny when they begin to form their shells. The shell material, conchiolin, is formed wnh111 their bod1i:s by complex or gans \\hJCh extract calcium and OLher minerals from their food. Com.h1olin is a semi-liquid which harde11s rapidly when exposed to air or water It 1s secreted and released by the delicate sac of ltssue which covers the internal organs, the man tle, and the mantle's edge. The shape of the shell depends upon the ~hape of the mantle edge which made 11. Ridged shells arc made by species havmg mantles with frilled or ruffled edges. Similar to plywood construction, the mollusk shells arc three-ply.

Once adhered, it may ta.kc a force of 70 to 80 pounds to remove it Shaping up kitchen vital to healthy cooking Many of us are already thinking about the holidays. We want to get the house ready for the friends and family members who will be visit ing. One area of great concern to the cook, of course, will be the kit chen. Will it pass Aunt Tilly's white glove inspection? If not, these guidelines will get your kitchen m tip-top shape for the holidays. Start with the freezer. Is it frozen over or jam-packed with food? If so it will not hold frozen meat and poultry at safe freezer temperatures - 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. If the freezer is frozen over, you may need to defrost it. Examine frozen items carefully; discard foods t fiat have changed in appearance or tex ture. Put usable foods in an ice chest filled with ice. When returning food to the freez er, date the packages and divide them into long and short storage categories so you can use them within the recommended storage time. Also, as you stock the freezer, save space for the large bird, roast or ham that will be served for the holiday dmner. Next, the refrigerator. If you have leftover meat and poultry dishes, use them as soon as possible. These foods can be stored in the refriger ator from three to four days. Fresh meat or poultry should be used withm one to three days. Also, check the "sell-by" or "use-by" date on mayonnaise, salad dressing or other foods that need refrigera tion. Throw away outdated, moldy and obviously spoiled foods. To get nd of the odor that may linger from spoiled food, wash the refrigerator with baking soda and water, and put a box of baking soda in it to absorb odors. To safely store food in the freshly cleaned refrigerator: • Make sure the refngerator is set at 40 degrees or below to pre vent most bacterial growth; use a refrigerator thermometer to check the temperature. • Don't overload the refrigerat or. Cold a1r must be able to circu late to keep foods at optimal tem peratures; and • Tightly cover all foods and use them within the recommended storage time. Cabinets can be a hideaway for food safety pllfalls. What could be more devastaung than findmg out while preparing the holiday meal that the canned ham you put in the cabinet two months ago should have been refrigerated? Before storing foods in the cabinet , read the labels. Since today's packaging for some shelf-stable and refrigerated prod ucts are ·so similar, label reading is necessary to ensure such foods ,ue stored properly. If you find a pro duct on the shelf that should have been refrigerated, throw it out. Countertops, sinks, and utensils need extra care. To keep bacteria from spreading from raw 10 cooked foods, wash the countenop, smk and utensils after they have been used to prepare raw meat and poul try. Use hot soapy water, or better yet a solution of one tablespoon (about a capful) of chlorine laundry bleach to one gallon of cool water. Carefully scrub and clean wooden cutting boards since bacteria can harbor in the grooves lct"t by knives. A hard non-porous cutting board is better for preventing the spread of bacteria. Also, w.ish kitchen lmen often and thro,\ away old sponges. KHchen appliances should work properly. Usi: an oven tht:rmometer to check the temperature in your convenuonal oven. It ll 1sn t work mg properly, have 11 serviced imme diately. With a well-seniccd oven and by using a meat thermometer, you can make sure meat and poultry cook to proper internal tempera tures. Poultry 1s thoroughly cooked at 180 to 185 degrees; beef and other meats should reach 160 de grees. Check the microw.ivc oven, too. Stale food particles left 1n the mi crowave oven absorb some of the microwaves. This could cause cook ing lime 10 be slower than usual. To clean the microwave oven, place a mixture of lemon Juice and watt:r inside thi: oven and turn it on. The steam will condense on the oven surface and make food much easier to remove. The lemon Jmce will absorb odors. Before preparing those holtday foods, make sure your kitchen can pass a "while glove test."

Groundwater resource concerns aired at hearing Island County residents will have the opportunity to air their con cerns about the future of groun dwater resources later this month. The state Senate Environment and Natural Resources will hold a pub lic hearing on the issue at 7 p.m. Dec. 13 at the Commissioner An nex, 504 North Main Street in Cou peville. "I scheduled this meeting after hearing from a l,uge number of citi zens concerned about the effects of development and population growth on the aqwfers of Whidbey and Ca mano Islands," said Sen. Jack Met calf, R-Langlcy, chairman of the committee. "On Camano and on Whidbcy south of Oak Harbor, the only source for water is rainwater which seeps through the earth to recharge the underground aquifer. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS To sell it in the Classifieds Classifieds-675-6611 Salt water intrusion is already a problem for many areas of Island County. "Right now there are three main alternat ives: conservation, restric tion of development, or piping m water from the mainland," said Metcalf. "Each alternative has its own consequences and impltcauons concerning the future of Island County. The policy decisions made in the next few years by state and local governments will be with us for decades to come." Metcalf said local and state agen cy officials will be asked to give short presentations, and 1h0n the hearing will be opened to public testimony. Metcalf said informauon gathered at the public hearing has statewide implications. "Rapid growth and mcreasing groundwater withdrawals in many :ueas of the state have heightened the concern over the long-term con dition of groundwater resources," said Metcalf. "What is happening now in Island County will soon be rampant in many other areas of the state. The tesumony given at the Coupeville hearing will be invalua ble for any future state policies." 1-800-424-5555 Included 111 this \\ eek s WIIIDBEY TODAY are the following advertising supplements: All editions: Ernst Kmart Effective Sun ..

Physician members of the Wash ington State Medical Association warn that during the wmter season seniors should talce extra precau tions to protect themselves against the cold weather. Elderly persons are more suscep- tible to developing hypothermia, a condition characterized by a serious decrease in body temperature that can be life threatening. "As we get older, metabolism rates slow. That means it's more difficult for seniors to stay warm, particularly in the Symptoms of hypothermia in clude weakness, slurred speech, confusion, shivering and clumsi ness. "However, hypothermia can be prevented by wearing warm clothing, keeping homes well heat ed and by drinking plenty of fl uids," Golf card for aid in diabetes Sheep Skin Slippers & Other Warm Gifts The American Diabetes Associa tion, in cooperation with Puetz Ev ergreen Driving Range, offers the 1990 Diabetes Golf Card.
