When they try to cut down on fats by cutting out milk and milk products, they risk brittle bones later on, he said. “Dairy products are the main source of calcium in the human diet,” he said. People lose needed calcium when they cut down on dairy products as a whole instead of reducing their intake of dairy products with higher fat con tent. Bones are made of calcium and the body feeds off calcium stored in bones when the diet is short of that element. This leaves bones brittle and porous, a condition known as osteopo rosis. Winick said the condition is 12 times more frequent in women than men. He said it occurs so gradually women may not know of the de ficiency until it is too late. The bones give gradually un til they become dangerously brittle in the woman’s old age. He said the problem is worst for pregnant and nursing mothers. Their bodies will steal from their own calcium reserves to nourish the child, he said. Doctors are unsure exactly what exaggerates the problem in women, Winick said. Calcium loss may be caused by a genetic or hormonal tendency. “Obviously, the more calcium in the bones you have to start with, the better off you’ll be,” he said. “Older women will absorb less calcium than young women.” Figure-conscious women also can end up anemic because re placing red meat with fish or chicken can mean a loss of iron in the diet, Winick said. The risks incurred in cutting out needed nutrients to lose those last 5 pounds are far greater than the danger posed by the pounds themselves, the doctor said. “Chubbiness is not a medical term,” he said, adding that peo ple who are overweight by just a few pounds are no more at risk than thin people. “True obesity is different from being overweight.

Blatchley has several aims in mind to improve the city, but after he “gets the job done,” his plans are still undetermined. Blatchley says his goals for city improvement are directed to ward the betterment of streets, parks, railroads and landfills. He also hopes to push through a project to revitalize downtown Bryan. “I am not a politician,” he said. “I am not involved as a mayor on a path to something else.” Blatchley says he doesn’t want to “wear out his welcome.” He believes that a person can serve too long as mayor. He says he just wants to accomplish some personal goals that will benefit the city as well and then “get his nose out of it”. Blatchley is an early morning riser. He spends that early morning time reading the news paper. “I’m very much into organiz ing my time and using it as effi ciently and effectively as I can,” Blatchley said. Among the catalog of things he does, Blatchley advises, en courages and disciplines. Some of the services of the Office of Student Affairs are discipline, housing, withdrawals, off-cam pus housing and orientation. Blatchley attends receptions, dorm activities, sporting events and other functions.He also is a member of the Brazos Animal Shelter Board, the Brazos Val ley Development Council, an adviser for the Texas A&M Snow Ski Club and many oth ers. When Blatchley is not tend ing to student affairs or city af fairs, he is either taking part in sports or spending time with his wife, Ruth. Blatchley, who likes to play racquetball and tennis.

Schneyer would not reveal the names of the eight children authorities think they have the best chance of finding. “We feel as though we are close to get ting with them and bringing them in. We just feel we’re in a real touchy situation,” he said. In some of the cases, Schneyer said, the children called the hotline themselves. In others, he said, the leads were developed through a combina tion of phone calls and FDLE investigations. The show included a closing segment in which the pictures of 49 missing children were flashed on the screen. During the first half-hour after the tele cast 325 people phoned in, 175 saying they had seen one of the missing children shown in the pictures. Why Settle For Less? Of Lou Pays More For Used Books.
