Show at Mineola
Gene Moorer of Mineola will be
a featured artist/hobbyist a* the
upcoming Miniature & Collectible
Show held during the Iron Horse
Festival on Saturday. October 10. at
the Mineola League of the Arts
building, 200 W Blair, from 10 a m
to 4 p.m.
Gene is a wood carver and will be
displaying a miniatu : working
carousel, featuring ten carved hors-
es approximately three inches long
and three inches high. Each horse is
a replica of a full-size carousel
horse that would have been seen in
amusement parks or country fairs
from the 1860s-1920s. The horses
have the most carving and painting
details on the right side, called the
“romance" side, and ride the carou-
sel facing to the right as the plat-
form turns counterclockwise In
England, the horses face left and
turn clockwise. This detail caused
some problems for Gene, who envi-
sioned his carousel nding a phono-
graph turn-table, which happens to
turn clockwise and also spins too
fast After four months of problem
solving. Gene finally completed a
12-inch high, red-topped, illuminat-
ed carousel that does spin counter-
clockwise with four riding horses
and six standing horses Also on
display will be examples of carou-
sel fantasy animals such as roosters,
tigers and frogs.
Gene began carsing after his re-
tirement in 1985 from a 30 year car-
eer with the U S Forestry Service
in the states of South Carolina. Ar-
kansas and Texas Gene and his
wife Margaret moved to Mineola in
19%. not only to be near family but
to return to wooded scenery they
both love. During the past 13 years.
Gene has carved 135 pieces from a
20-inch high heron with damp fea-
thers to a man carved on the end of
a toothpick'

tion you would like to display at the

Breakfast: A Healthy Start for
You and Your Child
Your kids may be slow to wake
up and get ready for the day, yet you
are in a rush to start yours. Many
parents and kids are tempted to skip
breakfast. In fact, as many as one
out of six fifth-graders skip break-
fast. Older children are much more
likely to skip breakfast than young-
er children Well, did you know
that:
Breakfast jump starts your brain
Hunger, even short-term hunger
you may experience if you miss
breakfast, decreases attention span
and ability to concentrate. Children
who eat breakfast are more alert and
perform better on school tests than
children who do not eat breakfast
They are also more creative and
energetic Children who skip break-
fast are more often tardy and absent
from school than children who eat
breakfast
Breakfast is a healthy start for
growing kids
Without breakfast, it is hard for
children to eat enough throughout
the day to obtain the nutrients they
need to grow, learn, play, and stay
healthy Kids need to consume
foods that provide energy, protein,
and good sources of zinc, iron, and
calcium to build the best bones they
can and to help reduce their risk of
developing the bone disease osteo-
porosis later in life.
A nutritious breakfast that in-
cludes a variety of foods, such as
cereal or toast, milk and a fruit
kabob, a slice of pizza, or a taco,
provides children with energy and
nutrients. These adventuresome
breakfast ideas, along with tradi-
tional favorites, are fun and good
sources of vitamins and minerals.
Children who eat breakfast are
more likely than children who skip
breakfast to consume foods with
adequate levels of minerals, such as
calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,
and vitamins, such as riboflavin,
vitamins A, C, and B 12, and folate.
Also, children who skip breakfast
do not make up for the missed calo-
ries at other meals.
Breakfast is quality time for the
family
Breakfast provides an opportuni-
ty for family members to talk and
interact with each other. Sitting
down to enjoy breakfast together
for even a few minutes can provide
an important time for family mem-
bers to discuss what is happening in
their lives. Breakfast also provides
time for parents to serve as good
role models for healthy eating
habits.
Eating breakfast at school can
provide a child with an important
opportunity for social interaction.
Children like to eat with their
friends, so school is an ideal place
for kids to start their day with a
meal
Here's how to make breakfast fun
and a lifelong habit
To help children become adults
v no value the importance of eating
breakfast each day, leach them the
benefits and fun of eating breakfast
when they are young.
Breakfast is a quick and easy
meal that can he made fun with lit-
tle preparation. Try the recipe
below. Both the kids and adults in
your family will love eating these
