The expansion, which will in crease the cellar’s yearly processing capacity to 45,000 gallons of wine, will include the addition of a stain less steel fermentation tank and re frigeration equipment. “We expect to double our profita bility,” said Paul Bonarrigo, who owns the cellar with his wife Merrill. Bonarrigo said the expansion will allow Messina Hof, which opened in 1983, to accommodate its interna tional distribution. The business dis tributes wine to Germany, Japan and Canada, in addition to regions throughout the United States, and will begin distributing to Great Brit ain within a few months, Bonarrigo said. Expansions also will be made to the winery’s retail and visitor facili ties with the restoration of a Bryan building, which was a school aca demy at the turn of the century and later an ambassador’s residence. The new facilities will be completed by August 15, Bonarrigo said. The $5 million linked deposit loan program, a joint venture of the state treasury and agriculture depart ment, became active in July. The program provides financial incen tives to lending institutions to pro vide loans below the market rate in terest level for agricultural diversification projects. First City Bank of Bryan will fund the winery’s loan. “Banks are reticent to go into a new venture,” Alice Reynolds, ad ministrator of the Texas Agricultu ral Diversification Program, said. Because the loan “buys down” in terest rates, a bank’s risk of lending money to finance a new venture is reduced, Reynolds said. To be eligible to receive the loan, a business must must either be pro ducing an alternative crop — one which already does not generate rev enues of $5 million or more in Texas — using it to process food or fiber products, or financing the direct marketing of agicultural products. In the last two months, 900 re quests for the loan have been re ceived. Of the 26 businesses which applied for the loan this week, 21 loans totalling $3.4 million were ap proved, Reynolds said. The loan has helped generate sales of more than $6 million and created 80 new jobs, she said. Officials have proposed the loan program’s pool of money be in creased by $20 million. Otherwise, funds will be depleted within the next two months, she said. Official gives diet tips to help thwart cancer By Holly Beeson REPORTER Extensive research is underway to evaluate and clarify the role diet plays in the development of cancer. So far, no direct cause-effect relationship has been proven, but of ficials have indicated that dietary changes could thwart cancer. Sally Skaggs, Education in Cru sade chairman of the Brazos unit of the American Cancer Society, said ACS has developed nutritional guidelines that include adding more foods high in fiber and vitamins A and C to the diet, as well as cutting down on fats, alcohol and salt-cured foods. “The evidence suggests that by practicing some specific principles of good nutrition, you can reduce your risk of certain types of cancer,” she said. ACS has a theory that if all Ameri cans stop_ smoking, 83 percent of lung cancer would be prevented, Skaggs said. “With diet and cancer, however, it’s much less conclusive,” she said. To reduce cancer risk and im prove overall health, ACS suggests these guidelines: • Avoid obesity. Sensible eating habits and regular exercise will help avoid excessive weight gain. A study showed that men who are 40 percent or more overweight are 33 percent more likely to get cancer, while women are 55 percent more likely. • Cut down on total fat intake. Some studies show that excessive intake of both saturated and unsatu rated fats enhance human cancer growth.
