Recipe suitable for special needs diet
I received a letter from Sandy
Gareton of f*reston Fairways who is
lactose inmleaant and needs sugges-
ticms » substitutions for butter,
cream, milk, cfaeese, etc. in recipes.
Sandy says, "Yes, I take potatoes
out of tbe pot before I add the but
ter and milk, roast meat separately
for me whoi I’m making a sauce,
keep vegetables separate, etc., but
this is a pain and quite bcmestly,
pretty boring cuisine for me.” She
adds, "Let’s not even discuss des-
$ai..there is no substitute fix milk
chocolate, heavy cream, ice
cream..."
Talk about tbe stuff nigbtniares
are made of; this must be it!
Hianks, Sandy, for giving me the
cqipoituQity to help ycm with your
^)ecial needs diet As it turns out
during x)e my Saturday morning
chats with my mother (a
diverticulitis sufferer) I discussed
my plans to share tbe following
Prestonwood
GoLirmet
By
Roxanne Powers
recipe in tiiis month’s column with
those diverticulitis patients who
can’t have nuts, some grains, some
legumes, and who can’t imagine a
Thanksgiving day meal without
pecan pie.
1 also told her of your dietary
dilemma. She pointed out that this
month’s recipe would wok well
fix lactose intolerant people as well
as diverticulitis patients. Its texture
has the abihor to "fool" tbe palate
into believing it has just bad
creamy dessert, even though there’s
not a single drop of lactose.
And wboe did I get this delicious
recipe? Hold onto our seat, for if
you’ve nevCT been a patient at Rex
Ho^ital, you probably won’t be
lieve it. Tliat’s right, this month’s
recipe was sutmitted by Executive
Cht^ Paul F. Johnson, chef at Rex
Healthcare. Okay, I’m going to
puUicly cmifess. Ibis is one hosix-
tal that actually has food I like!
Whether or not you will admit to
liking bo^ital food, I hope you’ll
enjoy this recipe.
In the meantime, Sandy, I’ll
dteck around and see what else I
can come up with, and I hope
you’ll get scane additional ideas
from Progress readers. If so. I’ll
pass than along. If any other Prog
ress readers have special dietary
concerns, don’t forget that we con
sider it our privilege to be able to
help.

New radios sought to improve communications
Twelve state-of-the-art mobile
radios will be purchased by tbe
Town of Morrisvilie in an Mtempt
to clear up what has been a {xob-
lem in communications between
town departments. Tbe cost:
$18,240.
During tbe past several mondis, a
COTunittee of employees represent
ing six town departments 1^ been
meeting to identify problems with
existing communication capabil
ities between department posonnel.
The problems have been cropping
up for years, but became quite
noticeable during a disaster drill
staged in Morrisvilie during tbe
direction of Fire Chief Tony
Chiotakis.
Cbiotakis and other town offi
cials, including Town Manager
David Hodgkins, agreed that if one
thing was learned it was that flaws
existed in communic^ons between
departments. He said the drill
showed a need for a town-wide
overall communication system, one
that could be used on a day-to-day
basis, and not only in emergencies.
Hodgkins explained the study
crnmnittee cited the various means
of communication currently util
ized by dq)artments (such as cel
lular telephones, digital pagers and
mobile radios) as a major impedi
ment to efficient communications
and operations.
Tbe 12 mobile radios will be used
by four depaiimrats: finance, in
spections, parks and recreation, and
public works/uiilities. Hodgkins
said most cellular telephones will
be eliminated and the savings will
be about $600 a year.
The purchase was autboized by
the Board Coaunissioners.

Durbam International Airport and

Midway Airlines is seeking

quire such apixoval because of a
bilateral agreement between the

to add Toronto flights starting in
February.
