Leaving at 9:30. RSVP at County Executive Joe Parisi will be visiting the Mt. Horeb Senior Center on February 8 at 1:30 pm to give an update on the work Dane County is doing to clean up our lakes, finance renewable energy development and benefit county taxpayers. Dane County continues to add to it s solar portfolio and complete its analysis on what it and the other public and private partners can do locally to further reduce carbon emissions. Work has already begun on Dane County s endeavor to convert garbage and cow manure into vehicle fuel. When complete, gas from the County landfill will be compressed, cleaned and marketed nationally to earn carbon and renewable energy credits. That means millions of dollars each year for taxpayers! County Executive Parisi will be discussing these issues and take your questions. Feel free to stop by for this visit.

3 NUTRITION MANAGER S NOTE: On a cold winter morning, a bowl of hot oatmeal makes a great healthy breakfast. Starting your day with a bowl of oatmeal gives you a serving of whole grains, which can lower cholesterol and prevent diabetes. Fiber is the main health attribute of oatmeal and fiber slows down food processing and absorption and makes you feel full. Oats of oatmeal: steel cut, rolled, quick or instant all provide mostly equal nutritional value. But be aware of the packaged flavored instant oatmeal that often contain added sugar. For variety and a healthy alternative, try adding some milk, plain yogurt, fresh fruit, cinnamon or nuts to your bowl of oatmeal. If you want a change from a bowl of oatmeal, there are lots of recipes for healthy overnight oats, baked oatmeal and oatmeal cups.
