State Rep. Donna Veach has done a fantastic job representing Berlin and Southington over the past two years. When communities across the state experienced an influx in car thefts, it was Donna and her fellow Republi cans who fought to do something about it. And when gas prices were rising to all-time highs, Donna and her colleagues put pres sure on the governor to finally do something about it. We need more lawmakers like Don na Veach, someone who truly represents the people they serve.

6. Inspect your apples
Want to make applesauce? Grab yourself a few apples with the brown spots they actually make the best smoothies, too.
TheBerlinCitizen|theberlincitizen.comThursday,September15,2022 A13
The best time to go apple picking is not when it gets cold, but rather when your desired apples are ready to pick. Apple orchards are most busy on the weekend during the middle of the af ternoon, so go early or late in the day.
A note about photography: some orchards prohibit pho tos while apple picking or re quire permission in advance from the orchard. If you’re going to bring a camera to take pictures of your apple picking adventure, make sure you know the orchard’s rules beforehand.
There is a correct way to pick fruit off of a tree and that’s to twist, not pull. Pulling an apple from a tree can knock off other apples or damage the tree itself.
The apples on the outside of the tree ripen first, so choose the most firm apples without brown spots. Sniff the apple to make sure it smells good (bad smell means rot). Don’t take home any apples with holes or abnormally small apples from the center of the tree, they’re not ripe yet.
My husband laughed at my apple picking outfit, but I dressed specifically for the occasion. Check the weather ahead of time and plan your clothing choices appropri ately. Wear boots or sneak ers since the grass might be wet from dew or smashed apples.

Helpful tips for apple picking
Apple picking in Connecti cut is a must-do fall activity. It is a fun way to spend time with your family and the perfect excuse to learn how to make an apple pie. How ever, it can be stressful tak ing children to an orchard if you don’t know what to ex pect. Use these apple pick ing tips to plan your trip to the orchard.
Some orchards have strict rules for apple picking, so it’s important you inform children before you go. Our orchard allowed one apple for tasting before purchasing what you pick, but some or chards might not allow any samples. Remember not to climb or shake trees and leave your pets at home.

Whether you’re looking to visit an orchard with extra activities (corn maze, hayride, etc.) or fresh pro duce for purchase, each or chard offers something dif ferent. My family chose Drazen Orchard in Cheshire because of its proximity to our home on a rainy a day. However there are three oth er orchards within a 15 mile radius that are just as amaz ing. Research the best apple picking orchard for your needs before you go.
2. Choose best times
Carolyn Smith,
When you’re apple picking it’s easy to quickly fill a bas ket. It’s important to plan what you’ll do with your picked apples so you don’t take home too little/too many. We picked around 25 apples for apple pie (8-10 apples needed), apple crisp (5-6 apples needed), and ev eryday snacking.

Control officers will be issuing Written Warnings to individuals who do not have their dogs on leashes on public property. This in cludes the meadow area of Bicentennial Park. Records will be kept of written warn ings issued.
