Newspaper Page TextCare tips for nonstick cookware Nonstick cookware has proper ties that make it indispensable for many users: It cleans easily, With a minimum of efforts; and it Jets the dedicated dieter prepare foods with little or no cooking fats or oils. When nonstick pans are new, wash in hot sudsy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Many manufacturers recommend that nonstick surfaces be seasoned with cooking oil or shortening before they are used the first time. Season by wiping cooking oil or shortening over the entire surface with a paper towel. The care of bakeware varies, so check instructions first. If food shows a tendency to stick when cooking, repeat the conditioning. Avoid high temperatures in most top-of-range cooking which can cause discoloration and shorten the life of any nonstick finish. Use medium to low heat. Also avoid sudden temperature changes. For instance, put frozen foods in a cold pan and allow hot pans to cool before using cold water. When using nonstick sur faces, foods can be cooked with out fat or oil. However, small amounts of butter, margarine or oil will contribute to the taste, browning and crispness of foods. Sharp or rough-edged kitchen tools may scratch nonstick cook ware. Although scratches do not affect performance, materials like nylon, rubber, plastic and It’s time to plant potatoes Chances are that some dedicated gardeners have already tilled their gardens and planted their “seed” potatoes. Some gardeners aim for planting on or around St. Valentine’s Day, while some areas of Georgia will be lucky to have them planted by Tax Time! Because our weather can be so unpredictable, it’s hard to be any more precise when advising on planting those. Potatoes are considered to be a cool-season crop and can be planted just as soon as the ground has thawed and dried enough to safely work the soil. It is critical to allow the soil to dry adequate ly. If worked while it’s still too wet, soil becomes hard and com pacted, leading to long term frus trations for the eager gardener The potato plant can adapt to most types of soil but must have good drainage to prevent the potatoes from rotting before they can be harvested. Choose a sunny location and work in 2-3 pounds of a balanced fertilizer, such as 12-12-12, per 100 square feet to promote vigorous plant growth. The part of the potato plant that we eat is called a tuber, a techni- Super Crossword ACROSS - lAII- • 5 Pluto's place . 10 Tablet 13 Hockey or • football J 18 Hard on ~ - the nose -20 Ooze - -21 Eugene's st. 22 Doha's £ country 23 Jane Fonda 1 thriller ... 26 Remove an ascot • 27 Actress Z Bonham » Carter ~ 28 Diocese 29JFKabbr. - ' 30 Cartoonist * Hollander . . 31 The edge of night? „ • 33 Dion's "Run- - - . around" girt 34 Waist band 35 Road curve 38 Lillian Hellman play 45 Pharmacy bottle 47 Singer Knight 48 Compassion 49 Fishing gear 51 Head Hun 54 Conquis tador's quest 55 Duplicate 56 Fllntslones' 57 NBC soap opera 61 Night spot? 62 Blunder 63 Like Chicago 64 —vous plait 65 Slipped by, as time 67 Former senator Charles F 3 * MHHjs 6 7 § is ■jitfrrrnpTTßKa 1 im its hi in ,s r 19 Hr WH - itif’ 2 ”' M M g| Hr® Mr® ■MM 51 ■p* J ■■■■■ ..39 40 Id p P Mp M ’sf " 52 KjJs M ■pa mL- ijPP »"?===_P?= i p’==z | WI 2|. r ■■■■79 So 'FI ■lm 84 Mee Bst ™ »sj-j EirzF r PRLfc — :' - —— ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ n __... £_ ire HnT ~wp3~ —LJnr— tJj H Hj' fcj LL Debbie LWilburn wood help to preserve the appearance of the finish. The Soap and Detergent Association suggests washing pans in hot sudsy water and using a soft sponge immediately after every use. Food that is allowed to sit for any length of time could stain the surface. Avoid metal scouring pads. Stubborn food debris can be removed with a plastic mesh pad which is also useful for shin ing the outside of the pan. Reseasoning of the surface may be necessary after automatic dishwashing. Occasionally, nonstick pans may require a cleaning to remove grease and stain buildup. Use any one of the following solutions and simmer 15-20 minutes in the stained pan - 1/4 cup coffee pot cleaner in 1 qt. water, or 3 tbsp, nonchlorine bleach and 1 tsp. liq uid dishwashing detergent in 1 cup water. Then wash, rinse, dry and reseason the surface. It is also advisable to check the man- See WILBURN, Page 8B lan Cowie i!> I wwsii - til cal name that refers to an enlarged modified stem that grows underground. Potato tubers that are used to create a new planting are called seed potatoes. You’ll want to start with the best quality seed potatoes, so look for those that are labeled as “certified disease-free” at garden shops and in mail-order catalogs. To start a new planting, cut the seed potato into pieces so each individual piece has at least one healthy-looking bud (often called an “eye”). That bud will become the shoot of the new plant and, as the stem develops, it also will produce new roots. The piece of tuber attached to the bud provides a source of carbohydrates to sus tain the young plant until those See COWIE, Page 8B 68 -Nightmare" street of lllmdom 89 An Astaire 70 Celebration 73 Actress Munson 74 Right-fielder Tony 75 Egg yong 78 Tatum of 'Paper Moon" 79 Chopin piece 82 Supposedly 83 Bit of gossip 85 Somewhat dark 86 Give (cause) 87 M.A. or M.D. 88 John of “Fori Apache" 89 Swank shops 92 Sharp 93 F.

Because you have pre viously printed letters from our founder, Dr. Katherine Jeter, and former Sen. Bob Dole, more than 100,000 people contacted NAFC for help and information—more than from any other single source. We hope you will continue to encourage your readers to seek medical diagnosis and treatment for incontinence. We are still very concerned by how long people are wait ing to seek help. Our 1996 membership survey showed that women wait an average of 3.4 years and men 1.8 years before seeing a health care pro fessional. We still receive calls from people who have had this problem for 20 or more years, and their call to us is their first attempt to gain information or to Horoscope CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Marilu Henner, Merle Haggard, Michelle Phillips, Butch Cassidy DEAR EUGENIA: I love my job, and the company I work for is normally great. The problem is that recently we have been having financial problems, our crew needs to be laid off but the owners are unwilling or unable to be hon est with the employees. I am not sure if I should be out looking for another job. (I can’t really afford to find out one day that I do not have a job.) Should I take care of myself first or be loyal to the com pany? I know their financial posi tion because I am the bookkeeper. It looks glum. Worried Leo DEAR WORRIED LEO: Your chart indicates that you have been in a poor position at work for quite some time now, and that you will continue to be fed false impres sions until the spring of 1998. Your position is not secure, but I also feel that you will have no problem finding a new job when the time comes. I would, however, suggest that you start looking now as I feel that you could probably be earning more money elsewhere. I don’t know if you have any background in movie accounting, but you may consider looking into this area of your profession. ARIES (March 21-April 20); Difficulties may be encountered while traveling in foreign coun tries. You will experience unusual circumstances and meet eccentric individuals. TAURUS (April 21-May 21): You will be popular with people today. Mingle with those who can help you get ahead. Partnerships will be successful. 1# Hole grain food? 24 Hasty 25 Clan clashes 30 Spiteful 32 Beer barrel 33 Stallone's nickname 34 Small cut 35 Dodge 35 Lutelike Instalment of India 37 Goatish gamboler 39 Overcast 40 Reasoner or Chapin 41 Baal. e.g. 42 Homer's Held? 43 Textbook headings 44 -Walk Away -"('66 tune) 46 Fleur-de- 50 Spilled tho beans 52 Poet Amy 53 Blazing 55 Animation frame 56 Airhead 55 Formerly 59 Riyadh's religion 60 Get-up and-go 61 Nyasaland, now 65 Correct a text 66 Voter's tool 67 Chanteuse Edith 68 Vane letters 69 Reunion attendees 70 “The Grapes of Wrath" surname 71 Not solidified 72 Stocking shade DOWN 1 Soap setting? 2 Exercise aftermath 3 Songwriter Jacques 4 Intended 5 Party animal? 6 Pivot 7 Frank Herbert novel 8 Brink 9 "-Hunt" 10 Peter Rabbit's creator 11 Length x width 12 German article 13 Sodden 14 Cisco's chum 15 Director Preminger 16 Fence part 17 "A—Grows In Brooklyn* answers to Friday’s crossword M]ATp99jpnM9D|O| LIE o v gpMo R|aWT[r|T s s o L[o9 bJ6| g9d]o t z e fI W| EIE |P9W|TrL|TM9I ■HBBsTu [bßclol Hlols T A M A TjEJU|R9TJEIMIP 6 MOS S T N T E|R9sJP|L OTf|c H S K A f[E|R9Tj6 NJ9B9 ■9 fl [ojo Iflw o lr S T j e|Q| 1 9g|a|p9r| i c e A L|E|c■ E|R!A9sIP A N ill iji[J ii 9 iqT i FMB i'p'i'F l I Gainesville - Hall County j A FAIR O I 3600 Atlanta Hwy (Hwy 13) 9 I ™ (Off Hwy 53 in Oakwood) , ■ I April 10-20, 1997 ® I THUR Fox 97 Radio “Live Remote” 6 PM-8 PM |S “Northbound 316” Rock Band 8 PM ELVIS 7:30-8 PM & 9-9:30 PM F"~ *B' H Ride all Rides for One Price l "1 !

Incontinence is a medical condi tion with many causes. It affects more than 13 million Americans, of whom 85 percent are women. It robs many men and women of their independence and spoils the quality of life for countless oth ers. Incontinence, whether partial or complete, temporary or contin uing, is not normal. It is not a dis ease, it is not part of being a woman and it is not “just what happens” as you get older! More and more new treatments are being successfully used for all types of incontinence. Dietary changes, bladder retraining, med ications, pelvic muscle exercises, biofeedback, electrical stimula tion, surgery, collagen implants or pelvic support devices have all been effective in getting people completely dry or, at least, back in control of their bladder habits. When a cure is not possible selec tion of the best absorbent product or device and proper skin care will lessen the risk of irritating rashes or embarrassing “acci dents.” Miss Van Buren, it is important GEMINI (May 22-June 21): Opportunities to get together with people in powerful positions will aid you in getting ahead. CANCER (June 22-July 22): Get together with friends who like to take part in sports. You need routine and structure in your life and today is the day to start work ing towards selfimprovement. LEO (July 23-Aug. 23): Travel opportunities look positive. However, be cautious while dri ving. You are apt to meet someone special on your journey. VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 22): Opportunities for romance are pre sent. Don’t give your heart too readily. Make sure that new mates live up to your high standards.

Please let them know that NAFC is ready to provide infor mation and referrals to anyone who needs them. LYNDA CHRISTISON, MPA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DEAR MS. CHRISTISON: I was surprised to learn that an estimated one in four women ages 30 to 59 have experienced an episode of urinary inconti nence, and that it occurs in child ren and young adults as well as the elderly. A broad range of con ditions and disorders can cause the problem— including birth defects, pelvic surgery, injuries to the pelvic region or spinal cord, neurological diseases, pregnancy, childbirth, and degenerative changes associated with aging. Readers who have experienced incontinence or are concerned about someone who has can request a basic packet of informa tion by sending a long, selfad- you anticipated. You must take things slowly, especially for the sake of those you love. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): You can make financial deals that will bring you extra cash. Romance is likely if you indulge in unusual forms of entertainment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Someone you live with may feel totally neglected. If you can include them in your plans, do so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 20): You can continue to forge ahead if you make a few long-dis tance calls pertinent to closing deals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18): Be quiet about your intentions or ideas that might bring added cash. You must look into your options.
