• Winter squash comes in many varieties and sizes. Unlike its summer counterparts, winter squash is harvested at a mature age, which makes the skin hard and inedible. The skin, however, is protective and increases its storage life. Winter squash can be stored for 3 months or longer.

• The yellow and orange flesh of the winter squash is more nutritious and richer in vitamins, such as beta-carotene, than summer squash. Winter squash is always served cooked and, because of its tough skin, only the inside flesh is eaten.

Varieties:

• Acorn: Acorn-shaped squash is one of the most widely available among the small winter squash. It measures about 6 inches around and weighs 1 to 2 pounds. Baking is an excellent way to bring out the flavors of this squash.

• Banana: This squash comes in three varieties: blue, orange, and pink. Among the three varieties, the pink banana is the most common in the United States. This large, thick-skinned cylindrical squash averages 20 inches long and weighs around 12 pounds. It is so large that it is usually sold in chunks instead of whole. 

• Buttercup: This stocky squash is 6 to 8 inches in diameter, averaging 2 to 4 pounds. Its popularity stems from its sweet and creamy orange flesh. Its shortcoming is that it tends to be a bit dry. 

• Baking or steaming can solve this problem; the dry flesh becomes smooth and tastes similar to a mixture of honey, roasted chestnuts, and sweet potato. Even more than baking, steaming softens the flesh and creates a thick puree.

• Butternut: This elongated bell-shaped squash measures about a foot long and weighs an average of 2 to 4 pounds. Its popularity is due to its meaty, yet moderately sweet golden orange flesh. 

• Because of its thin skin, this squash can easily be skinned with a vegetable peeler, which makes it easy to cut and prepare. Baking enhances its sweet, moist, and nutty flavors. Butternut squash is usually available from August through March.

• Hubbard: This tear-shaped 

• squash comes in several varieties: green (true), golden, blue, and baby blue. It ranges from dark green to orange and weighs from 5 to 50 pounds. Green hub bards are thick, sweet, and dry. Golden Hubbard—a smaller squash than the green or blue—are fairly sweet, but have a bitter aftertaste.

• Spaghetti: This oval-shaped yellow squash is also called the vegetable spaghetti. It averages 9 inches in length and may weigh 2 to 3 pounds. When cooked, the crisp, tender, spaghetti-like strands yield a mild lightly sweet and fresh taste.

• Sweet Dumpling: This solid round squash, formerly known as the vegetable gourd, is a perfect serving for one person. It is about the size of an apple and weighs up to 1 pound. The skin is a warm cream color striped with ivy green, and it changes to butter color and orange during storage.

•  The skin is relatively tender and can be eaten. The pale-yellow flesh is smooth, fine, and dry as a potato and produces a rich starchy, light to mild sweetness, with a slight corn flavor.

A tobacco-free campus information session will be from noon to 1 p.m. on April 3 in Academic Center Room 147, 600 N. Riverpoint Blvd.

Designated areas to light up will be snuffed out May 1 on the Riverpoint Campus of Washington State University.

The ashtrays will be gone and the nearest smoking area will be across the street when the Spokane campus, which features health science programs, becomes the first four-year public university in Washington to be tobacco free, indoors and out.

“We wanted to foster a culture of healthy living and positive health practices,” said Trevor McLay, student body vice president, who helped lead the effort to change the policy. “As students of a variety of health care professions, we felt this campus could lead the way in making this positive and beneficial change.”

The Riverpoint Campus, where nearly 4,000 students attend classes, joins about 110 colleges nationwide and Clark College, a two-year institution in Vancouver, Wash., in banning smoking campuswide, according to the Washington state Department of Health. The University of Washington and Washington State University have policies prohibiting smoking in campus residential buildings.

• www.JigsawHealth.comStatewide smoking ban: On December 8, 2005, after ratification by a majority of Washington voters in a statewide initiative referendum, an amendment to Washington's 1985 Clean Indoor Air Act became effective banning smoking statewide in all public places and places of employment in Washington (except 25% of hotel/motel rooms), as well as within 25 feet (7.6 m) of doors, windows, or ventilation intakes to such places. 
• The act exempts private enclosed 

• workplaces and private residences except when being used to provide licensed childcare, foster care, adult care, or other similar social service care. Washington does not provide exemptions for tobacconists or businesses whose sole purpose is to provide an environment for smoking (e.g. hookah lounges, cigar bars). 

• Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the act, and local health boards are authorized to enforce the act locally.
