spected name in Nashville as the

Forever and Ever. Amen, was hon-
ored with a Grammy award.
In 1989, he earned national rec-
ognition as a singer with his RCA
dcbulalbtim "Spwin'I.ovc," followed
by "Heroes." For four consecutive
years he has been named BMI's
Songwriter of the Year. Overstreet
continues to climb the country and
Christian music charts with songs
such as Calm at the Center of the
Storm and Daddy's Come Around to
Mama's Way of Thinking. All ihis
success, which Overstreet credits as
a "gill Irom God," has occurred since
1985, when he began scoring hits as
a songwriter.

Tip the scales on child’s school lunchbox
McDonalds serves up refreshment
Shawna Lee, 7-year-old mermaid and 5-year-old clown Lacy Shelby
stand with Rennye Fehse, store activities representative for the Burleson
McDonaWs. McDonalds refreshments were offered bv the Summer
Reading Club at the library. Preschool classes for storytime at the library
began Aug. 8, at 10:30 a.m. and continue every Tuesday. "Homework is
guaranteed," replied Sherry Warren, Burleson librarian.
—He’s made quite a reputation
Many children will be carrying
extra weight with their textbooks
when they return to school this Sep-
tember. Studies indicate that as many
as 11 miIIionchildrcnbctween6ycars
old and 17 years old—almost one in
four youths—arc overweight. Fur-
thermore, surveys show that the
chances arc 28:1 that an obese ado-
lescent will become an obese adult.
Is there anything parents can do
to stop this?
"Absolutely," says Lawrence
T.P. Stiller, PhD, president of Health
Management Resources (HMR), a
national healthcare company special-
izing in weight and lifestyle manage-
ment programs. "The first step is to
contact your pediatrician to deter-
mine if your child has a weight prob-
lem. Your doctor can recommend the
best treatment plan for your child."
Slifflcr adds that,"There arc a
number of things that a parent can do
to have a positive impact on their
children's future health. Families tend
to have similar health habits, so par-
ents should become positive role
models for their kids by introducing,
practicing, and reinforcing healthier
habits."
Stiller notes dial, "If parents
generally serve lower fat food, more
complex carbohydrates (cereals,
fruits, vegetables) and encourage
exercise, it is less likely that either the
parents or die children will be over-
weight."
Eating a lower fat diet is not dif-
ficult or time consuming. It can be
simply a matter of making substitu-
tions.
Stifler says to start with your
child's lunchbox:
Instead of
Calories*
Peanut butter and jelly
sandwich with 3 Tbsp.
peanut butter and 2 Tbsp.
jam.........................550
3 ounce bag potato chips.......480
3 ounces cookies...............400
I cup whole milk............160
TOTAL....................1590
♦From USDA Handbook number

Substitute

Turkey sandwich with
3 ounces turkey, mustard,
and tomato.................325
3 cups air-popped popcorn......70
Small banana .................95
I cup skim milk..............85
TOTAL....................575
The difference between substi-
tuting these lunches represents a sig-
nificant reduction in both calories
and dietary fat. Almost half of the
calories in the first lunch come from
fat (48.4 percent). The second lunch
has only 10 percent of the calories
from fat.
Some fat is necessary to main-
tain good health. It protects internal
organs and provides insulation to keep
us warm. However, Americans take
in approximately 40 percent of our
daily calories from fat. This level is
far greater than the Surgeon Gen-
eral’s recommendation of fewer than
30 percent.
Other healthful, lower fat substi-
tutions include:
—Serve bread, cereal, and fruit
instead of doughnuts and pastries for
breakfast.
—Alternate serving fruit instead
of high fat snacks. «
—Eat more broiled chicken and
fish and leaner cuts of meat.
—Substitute a baked potato for
french fries.
Stifler adds that "If parents made
these changes on a consistent basis,
and encouraged kids to be more
physically active, the result could be
lower body weight, lower levels of
cholesterol, lower blood pressure,
reductions in the future risk of cancer
and heart disease, and belter overall
nutrition." He adds that, "The good
news is that health habits established
in childhood will almost certainly
continue into adulthood."

management, smoking cessation, and
risk factor management in over 300

wide. For more information call:

BISD budget has 6 percent raise
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
"I’d like for it to be more," he said,
"but I'm being realistic."
There are 33,469 students at-
tending schools in the 37 districts of
the CED, 19,923 of them in Johnson
County.
The good news for BISD teach-
ers and other employees of the BISD
is that the proposed balanced budget
contains an across-the-board 6 per-
cent salary increase.
A,n additional $490,(MX) will also
be spent for additional staffing and
contract days that were added. One
contract day was adder! for all staff
members because of the state-man-
dated increase in the number of days
in the school year.
Given the uncertainties, the
BISD could go into the next budget
year without a definite tax rate being
set. In fact, that's definitely going to
be the case even though the legisla-
ture has finally determined stale edu-
cation funding. The CED hasn't set
i ts rate yet and can't do so until it gels
a tax roll and that's not likely for
another week.
The next CED meeting is Sept. 3
and the tax rate question is likely to
be settled then.
A proposed BISD Board meet-
ing on Aug. 15 to vote on the pro-
posed lax rale has been canceled, as
has an Aug. 26 meeting in which a
hearing was to have been held on the
tax rate.
The tax hearing probably won’t
bo necessary anyway with the pro-
posed lax rate of the BISD being
below the 3 percent increase that
requires a hearing.
Special meetings involving the
budget that are still on include an
Aug. 22 public hearing on the budget
and an Aug. 30 meeting at 7:30 a.m.
lor final budget approval.
"The frustration level of school
administrators is understandably
running very high during these un-
usual times," said Thomas E. Ander-
son, Jr., deputy commissioner for
operations and services for the Texas
Education Agency in a letter to Su-
perintendent of Schools Gordon
Cockcrham.
I n that letter, he noted that budg-
ets must be adopted by Aug. 31, but
recommended against setting a tax
rate until the legislativeprocessends.
He suggested that a district could
amend its budget if state funding were
significantly lower than anticipated.
