Extractions: American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2000 A government-sponsored supplemental food and health education program available to stateside military families will soon become available to families overseas as well. The Special Supplement Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, commonly known as WIC, will begin overseas in early 2001, said Roger W. Hartman, a TRICARE health policy analyst. Weve folks in the military stateside who are using WIC, but then get orders for overseas duty and lose the benefit. That's like taking a cut in pay, he said. AFRTS TV Report: "DoD expands WIC family nutrition program overseas" can be viewed at 28.8 Kbps or 56 Kbps Congress directed us to make WIC as available to personnel overseas as it is to those in the United States," he said. Were talking fundamentally about pay and money and making supplemental foods available to people where they are not available now and improving the overall health, diet and nutrition of the family members in the process. The Child Nutrition Act of 1966 authorized WIC. Benefits have been available to military families stationed in the United States and its territories since about 1972, Hartman said. A recent amendment to U.S. Code Title 10 allows DoD to extend the program overseas.

Extractions: Summercise is a nutrition education and physical activity program for youth aged 7-15. The purpose of the program is to give youth a better understanding of how nutrition affects their health and the choices they can make to keep themselves healthy including the importance of having a physically active lifestyle. Methods and activities: The Food Guide Pyramid is the main focus of this program. One food group is focused on each week. Fun and educational activities are planned for the students in relation to that food group. Students made fruit smoothies, beef jerky, bread, butter and their own ice cream. The students also did food pyramid relay races, went greens picking on the tundra, hiked up Anvil Mountain, and had free-swimming time. Many community members helped out with the program also. This proved to be very beneficial both to program leaders and participants. Community involvement allowed the youth to participate in Eskimo dancing, go on a tour of a fish cannery, visit the dentist's office, and go on a scavenger tour of the grocery store among other activities.
