Temper your sweet
"Morn, did you notice when the
last cake-decorating class is being
held?" my 10-year-old daughter
asked.
"Yes, your final class is at 6 p.m.
on the last Thursday of October," I
said to my detail-oriented daughter.
"And what is special about that
day?" she asked in a dramatic tone
with widened eyes and raised eye-
brows. She looked a little scary.
"Oh, no, that's Halloween and I
suppose you would like to go trick-or-
treating," I replied when the signifi-
cance of the date dawned on me.
"Well, yeah," she replied matter-
of-factly. She looked very dejected,
with slumped shoulders and a frown.
She loves to dress up in silly costumes
and run from house to house with her
plastic pumpkin pail.
I guess coming home with a frost-
ing-covered cake isn't a sweet enough
deal for her, I thought to myself.
"You can wear your costume to
cake decorating class," I offered.
"Do you want me to get frosting on
it?" she countered.
She didn't want to miss the class or
the activity, so she will be haunting
our neighborhood extra-early this
year. Neighbors, please be ready.
You might question what a nutri-
tion columnist is doing writing about
taking her kids to cake decorating
class and allowing her child to trick-
or-treat.
Frankly, I'm not too worried about
occasional sweet indulgences. After
all, all things in moderation can fit in
a healthful diet.
My daughter had no cavities at her
last dental visit, so I know she is
brushing her teeth effectively. Her
weight is appropriate for her height,
so she is learning to self-regulate her
food intake and stay physically ac-
tive.
We have quite the collective
"sweet tooth" in the U.S. In 2012,
Americans bought 600 million pounds
of candy, with a price tag of $2.4 bil-
lion.
What does the latest U.S. Dietary
Guidelines for Americans say about
foods and beverages with added
sweeteners? From a food science
viewpoint, sugar has many positive
features. It adds flavor, helps preserve
tooth on Halloween

food (such as jams and jellies), pro-
motes browning of cookies and pro-
vides texture in other foods.
However, sweeteners add calories
without nutrients. Therefore, the di-
etary guidelines advise cutting back
on foods and drinks with added sug-
ars or caloric sweeteners. Specifically,
the latest guidelines advise drinking
few or no regular sodas, sports drinks,
energy drinks or fruit-flavored drinks.
We should eat less cake, cookies, ice
cream and candy.
How can we limit our sweets?
Enjoy a snack-sized candy bar instead
of a full-sized one. If leftover candy is
too tempting, keep it in the freezer, not
on the kitchen counter within easy
reach.
After the trick-or-treating adven-
ture, kids and parents should agree on
an appropriate number of treats to
enjoy per day. Sweet, sticky treats can
cause cavities, so make sure that the
little ghouls brush their "choppers"
well after enjoying a few treats.
Consider these alternative treat
ideas, too.
• Sugar-free gum
• Packages of trail mix or nuts
• Cereal bars
• Small boxes of raisins or other
dried fruit
• Sugar-free gum
• 100 percent fruit juice boxes
• Snack-sized packages of peanut
butter and crackers, graham crackers
or oatmeal cookies
• Halloween pencils, pens, stickers,
temporary tattoos or spider tings
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK: * * *
Late spring influences fish reproduction
Fisheries biologists who ques-
tioned how a late spring and delayed
ice-off .would influence fish repro-
duction in North Dakota waters fi-
nally have a few answers.
"It looks better than we expected,"
said Scott Gangl, State Game and
Fish Department fisheries manage-
ment section leader. "Our biologists
have been seeing some pretty good
numbers of young-of-the-year yellow
perch in lakes statewide, signaling
some good reproduction this year.
This was especially true in our larger
lakes that traditionally provided a
perch fishery."
Devils Lake and Stump Lake re-
ported excellent numbers of young-
of-the-year yellow perch. Reports
also indicated good numbers of
young walleye in the upper reaches of
Lake Sakakawea, and fair to good
numbers of perch on the east end of
the lake.
Reproduction was poor for most
fish in the Missouri River and Lake
Oahe, which are still recovering from
the forage losses during high water in
2011.
"We found some shad and decent
numbers of white bass in Oahe,"
Gangl said. "This was our second
year in a row of stocking shad in
Oahe, so it's nice to see some repro-
duction of those alternate forages.
The sport fishery will have a difficult
time recovering without that forage
base."
On another note, Gangl said fish-
eries biologists are seeing good sur-
vival of walleye stocked around the
state in North Dakota's smaller wa-
ters.
"There were also fair numbers of
young-of-the-year pike," he said.
"While we initially didn't know what
to think of the late spring, it appar-
ently was good for fish."

Bad knees and lame horses
Hello,
Well, Shirley is home. And I
guess you could say she is doing
quite well. You hear of people who
really suffer with knee surgeries, but
she says it doesn't hurt near as bad
as her other knee the past ten years!
She picks her way around pretty
good using a walker. Still has kind
of a tough time bringing my dinner
and coffee, but she is trying.
But, then again, she isn't carrying
feed buckets through the mud. And
we do have mud. I'm not a weather
forecaster, but I'm predicting that
we will freeze up wet.
Speaking of limping, we had a
horse named Susie. Now, I know,
you probably never had a horse
named Susie. Not many people
have. We always named our horses
after the person we bought them
from, or their color. Sometimes
both. We had Buck (buckskin),
Wally Buck, Grandpa's Buck, Rop-
ing Buck, and Little Buck. We had
Albert, Alfred, and Clayton. You get
it. And we had Susie.
Susie was kind of homely. The
horse. Not the Susie we got the mare
from. And she was smart. The horse.
Not the Susie we got the mare from.
Susie was a good walker. She
would settle into kind of a running
walk and you could cover a lot of
miles in a comfortable day. And
Susie was a cow horse. You show
her which cow you were taking to
the yard or the corral, you could just
sit back and enjoy the ride. She
would get her there.
One day Grandpa saddled Susie
up to ride out of the yard and she
came up lame. I mean real lame. She
was pretty much packing a front
foot. Grandpa unsaddled her and
turned her out. She let out a whinny
and galloped up the hill.
One day Grandpa
saddled Susie up to
ride out of the yard
and she came up
lame. I mean real
lame. She was
pretty much pack-
ing a front foot,
Next day we watched closely as
she came down the hill for grain.
Not a bad step. Saddled her up and
dang, she was crippled. Turned her
out. She whinnied and up the hill on
four good legs. Every day, she came
in fine, but limped when you saddled
her. We checked her legs and feet
and could find nothing wrong.
About the fifth day, when Susie
limped out of the yard, Grandpa
took down his rope and whipped her
across the butt. She forgot she was
lame and took off like she was in the
Kentucky Derby! After that, when
Grandpa took down his rope, she
never limped again.
Another lame story (many are)
was about Wendell. He bought a
team at the horse sale in Dickinson.
He swung into the Buckskin Bar to
show them off to his friends on the
way home. Tom noticed one was
limping. Wendell told Tom, "I asked
seller about that, and he said he was-
n't lame, he walked like that all the
time!" That, ladies and gentleman is
a horse trader.
Now, I wonder if Shirley is
fak ....
