Strawberries: the bright flavor of springtime
Strawberries are here! One of
the first signs of spring, these
plump mouthfuls of juicy goodness
are adaptable for a variety of
fruit-based dishes.
Strawberries appeal at table or
as low-calorie snacks throughout
the day and are quick to prepare.
Consider the pleasures — visual as
well as gustatory — of a rich
cheesecake topped with straw-
berry halves and sauced with
strawberry puree. Or imagine a
fluffy biscuit-based shortcake
piled with fresh strawberries and
a mound of sweetened cream.
The variety of strawberry uses
is unlimited: jammed in a flaky
pie crust; sliced on ice cream sun-
daes; floating in fizzy punches;
held in brilliant suspension in
jams, jellies or syrups.
Strawberries will flourish from
now through the summer and on
into fall. But from mid-April
through mid-June is the peak sea-
son for strawberries, and that
makes right now the very best
time to enjoy them.
To choose the best berries,
growers suggest seeking fully rip-
ened, bright red berries, as they do
not ripen after being picked. The
berries should be well-rounded,
with a natural shine and bright
green leaves. Never wash
strawberries or remove the green
caps until it is time to eat the ber-
ries. Washing removes the natural
protective outer layer, and the
caps protect the strawberry and
help preserve flavor, texture and
nutrients.
Here is a collection of straw-
berry recipes to enjoy throughout
the season.

Treatment of hyperactive children should
be aimed at increasing learning potential
Hyperactive children tend to
be given more medicine than
they need, which may cause
physical side effects and even
diminish a child’s learning abili-
ty, a Baylor College of Medicine
child psychologist said.
Child psychiatrists, physicians
and general practitioners tend to
prescribe drugs more for the
child’s behavior or conduct, said
Ben J. Williams, Ph.D., profess-
or of psychology at Baylor and
director of the Hyperactivity
Assessment and Treatment Pro-
gram at Texas Children's Hos-
Photography
pital.
He said the aim in the drug
treatment of hyperactivity should
be to increase the child’s learn-
ing potential.
“Parents and teachers should
learn how to help the children
and not rely on drugs to control
their behavior,” Williams said.
Williams' research indicates
that for some children, higher
drug dosages may diminish
memory, awareness, judgment
capacities and physical develop-
ment.
Hyperactivity, which is thou-

ght to be a genetic disorder,
causes children to be overactive,
easily distracted, fidgety and
impulsive. They are unable to
concentrate on a task for any
length of time.
“It’s like the ‘terrible two’s’
that never end,” said Williams,
who counsels teachers and par-
ents of hyperactive children.
Williams is conducting a study
using different dosage levels of
Ritalin, the most common drug
used for hyperactivity, to det-
ermine which level improves a
particular child’s learning ability.
“By determining which level
of medication is best for the
child, we may lessen the chance
of side effects such as a decrease
in weight and growth,” Will-
iams said.
Children taking part in Will-
iam's study are placed on three
different dosages of Ritalin and
an inactive drug. They are
assigned tasks that measure their
learning abilities. Their perfor-
mance is compared to the dosage
of Ritalin they receive.
Using a 40-pound child as an
example, the most common pre-
scribed dosage of Ritalin would
be .0002 oz. (5 milligrams) given
twice a day.
< Preliminary results show that
giving smaller amounts of Ritalin
effectively improves children’s
learning skills.
Those interested in participat-
ing in the study should contact
Williams at (713) 791-2192.
