INTRODUCTION

Sections 7-2.4(c), 7-2.5(n), and 7-2.25 of Subpart 7-2 of the New York State Sanitary Code (SSC) require camp operators to develop a “written plan” which accurately reflects the camp’s compliance with code requirements.

Your written plan should be tailored specifically to your camp’s site and program(s), and reflect the camp’s policies and procedures (i.e., “per code” is not enough detail!). It should be your framework for decision making, and your risk management tool. While developing your written plan, please refer to Subpart 7-2, this guideline and its corresponding checklist (i.e., Written Plan Checklist, DOH-2040, Appendix “A”), being sure to include all the required plan components (including a Table of Contents) and other plan components for activities or situations that may be unique to your camp. This guideline addresses code requirements and includes recommendations and topic specific informational `sidebars’ to assist you. You may also wish to contact camping organizations and other camping resources for additional information. Allow plenty of time to develop your plan and return it to your local health department so they can review and, if complete, approve the plan.

(NAPSA)—To help you stay on the road to safety and savings the next time you buy a used car, the Federal Trade Commission offers this advice:

• Before shopping for a car, think about your driving habits, your needs, and your budget;
• Learn about car models, options, and prices by reading newspaper ads, both display and classified;
• If you finance the cost of the car, consider how much you can put down, your monthly payment, the length of the loan, and the annual percentage rate. Make sure you understand all aspects of the loan agreement before you sign any documents, including the exact price; the amount you’re financing; the finance charge; and the total sales price;

DILUTING THE BENEFITS OF TEA

Tea is getting a lot of good press these days. Many studies have linked regular tea drinking to a lowered risk of cancer, heart disease and hypertension. But when it comes to calories, all teas are not created equal, said Lisa R. Young, a nutritionist at New York University.

A 16-ounce bottle of the popular Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey, for instance, contains 140 calories and 34 grams of sugar. A grande Tazo chai tea latte at Starbucks packs 240 calories and 41 grams of sugar.

“I see so many educated people who, when I tell them it has calories, look at me and say, ‘It does?’” Dr. Young said. “These are people who wouldn’t get the whole-milk cappuccino, but they get the venti chai because it’s only tea.”

WHAT IS GLUTEN?
Gluten is the general name for one of the proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley. It is the substance in flour that forms the structure of dough, the “glue” that holds the product together and is also the leavening ingredient. When these proteins are present in the diet of someone with CD, they become toxic and cause damage to the intestine. This damage leads to decreased absorption of essential nutrients and, if left untreated, can lead to nutrient deficiency and subsequent disease (i.e. iron deficiency anemia, decreased bone density, unintentional weight loss, folate and vitamin B12 deficiency).

WHERE IS GLUTEN FOUND?
Food/grains
The grains containing gluten include wheat, rye, barley, and all their derivatives (see Table 1 for a listing of grains to be avoided). These grains are used in such items as breads, cereals, pasta, pizza, cakes, pies, and cookies and as added ingredients to many processed food items.
