Berries are nature’s sweets hAir Fare, reopening later this year.

They are low in calories, have a low glycemic index compared to other fruits, and are loaded with antioxidants, Mr. Fly says.

Berries are regularly on the superfood lists for these reasons.

You can add a handful to your breakfast cereal, blend them into smoothies, such as the popular Very Berry Smoothie served at Pony Espresso, add them to yogurt or a salad or make a dessert to remember. One of June Nash’s favorite blueberry recipes is one a customer gave her, called blueberry cream pie. Fresh blueberries are baked with a sweetened sour cream mixture in a pie shell, then topped with a crumbly pecan topping. (See recipes.)

Before you get cooking, make sure you store your berries correctly.

them to spoil quickly, she says.

Blueberries can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

Look for firm, dry, plump berries with a subtle, whitish bloom (natural powdery coating). For longer storage, preserve by freezing or canning, she says.

Frozen blueberries can be stored in the freezer for up to one year.

Again, don’t wash before you freeze the berries.

RASPBERRIES/ BLACKBERRIES Fresh raspberries and

blackberries are highly perishable, Ms. Wilmes says.

Fresh berries should be used within one to two days for the best quality. They are both very fragile, too. If you do not plan to use the berries immediately, remove them from containers, arrange in a single layer in a shallow container, cover loosely and refrigerate, she says. Wash berries quickly in cold water just before using. Don’t soak the berries; lift them gently from water and drain well. Let berries air dry or gently pat them dry with a paper towel.

By avoiding sunburns this summer youcan keep your skin healthy and young

Staying smart in the summer sun

By KATHLEEN BARBOSA St. Joseph News-Press

A

fter a long day at the pool when a hot, painful, prickly sensation creeps over your skin, there is no denying it — you’re sunburned.

These sun rashes can cause longterm skin damage and they’re common. Forty-two percent of people reported burning at least once a year, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Fortunately, these burns also are easy to prevent. If you approach any summer day with some sun smarts and plenty of sunscreen, you can avoid being among the one in five Americans who will develop skin cancer during their lifetime, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Avoiding burns begins before you step into the sunlight.

When you dress for a day in the sun, be sure to wear long sleeves, wide-brim hats and sunglasses whenever possible. Apply sunscreen

20 to 30 minutes prior to direct sun exposure, and stay in the shade until it soaks into your skin.

Charity Wampler, Advanced Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center practice manager, says it’s important to understand the differences among sun protection products. For example, sunscreen only filters out harmful UV rays, but it does not shield your skin completely. To block sun, you need to use a titanium dioxide or zinc oxide cream.

Ms. Wampler recommends using SPF 30 sunscreen and reapplying every two hours. If you are swimming or sweating, she says you will have to reapply more frequently.

Pamela Calligan, Covenant Medical Spa medical aesthetician, suggests using a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays, which can cause free radical damage.

Some people believe base tans will prevent burns, but Ms. Wampler says your skin still is being damaged by the sun, even if it doesn’t turn red.

“Tan equals damage, period,” she

UPCOMING AUCTIONS

says.

When sun damages the skin, it produces melanin, a pigment that makes the skin appear darker.

The sun’s rays are most intense, and most likely to damage skin, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., but you can burn at any time, even during cloudy days, Ms. Wampler says.

When swimming or lounging near water, your exposure to harmful UV rays increases. The water reflects and intensifies the rays and causes more damage to your skin.

Despite precautions, you could still burn.

As soon as you notice the burn, get out of the sun. Ms. Wampler says the skin will not turn red immediately, but even before it changes colors, the skin has been damaged. Applying vinegar to the area or taking a cool bath or shower will calm down the skin. Covering the burn with aloe vera or burn gel will soothe the red and inflamed area. Ibuprofen helps take down the swelling and alleviate the pain.

If the skin starts to blister, Ms.

Wampler says to avoid popping the blisters because this will cause scarring. If your skin starts to peel, avoid rubbing the skin or picking it off.

When the blisters and peeling reveal new skin, make sure to keep the area well protected and moisturized.

“It’s so important to protect the skin underneath because now it’s new baby skin and it can burn really easily,” she says.

Damaging skin can lead to sun spots, sun freckles and premature aging, Ms. Wampler says. Up to 90 percent of skin’s changes typically attributed to age are actually caused by the sun, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

After the skin has been damaged, Ms. Calligan says laser treatments, prescription medication and facials can help reverse the damage. Facial products with vitamins C and D can eradicate free radical damage.

Even with these remedies, Ms. Calligan urges her clients to use sunscreen to prevent future damage.

“For long-term skin care, we say cleanse, hydrate and protect,” she says.

Learning with Kindermusik

A big yellow bear wearing black knit gloves rolls a small ball to 1½-year-old Adalyn Rhodd. Adalyn watches him intently from the security between her mother’s legs. As the ball rolls, her mother, Tiffany Rhodd, sings the Kindermusik song “Roll that ball” with certified instructor Sheila Hennigan.

They are demonstrating the type of activities children will be doing in the Kindermusik Adventure Camps starting this month at Highland Community College in Highland, Kan. “It’s normally something you find in the bigger cities,” Ms. Hennigan says.

“I’m a native of Highland, so I wanted to bring this program to a small town.”

“Kindermusik sparked my interest because I could teach younger children and share my joy of music,” Ms. Hennigan says.”

There are other music and motion programs for children, too, but Kindermusik was the original. According to the Kindermusik website, the program was developed in the late 1960s by educational experts in Germany for kindergarten children. It is now taught in more than 60 countries.

Kindermusik is more than learning songs, however. Research has found that it helps children develop the spatial-temporal and reasoning skills required for math, science and engineering, Ms. Hennigan says. The moving and dancing to music and playing simple instruments

“My most rewarding thing with her was when she could tell me she wanted ‘more to eat please,’”says Ms. Rhodd about her daughter, Adalyn, when she was 6 months old. “She lit up because of the fact that I could understand what she was saying.”

Learning sign language has not only helped Adalyn learn to talk, Ms. Rhodd says, but it has kept frustrations down about what

Adayln needs. When Adalyn was crying, Ms. Rhodd could ask, “Are you hungry or thirsty?” Then if Adalyn was hungry, she could give her mother the sign.

“A lot of day cares do sign language, too, so they can communicate with your child,” Ms. Rhodd says. “It’s not just say the 15 people that come to this group know this.”

All classes are held at Highland Community College, Walters Wellness Center. For reservations or more information, contact Sheila Hennigan, (785) 741-4579, or e-mail shemeg1992@yahoo.com.
