That sweet, homegrown taste

At the Market

By Lynne Christiansen
IT’S APPLE TIME at the
market. Terrace has a great
variety of apples. It's almost
a science in itself to know
your apples.

Some of the older varieties
are dying out, but it is so
good. ta see Terrace resi-
dents looking after their old
trees. By replanting shots
and grafling old varieties
from dying trees to healthier
trees, some of the older vari-
etits are saved.

moughs and the Sacharoffs
(as well as many others)
carry a wealth of informa-
tion with them, regarding
good orcharding.

‘Some of the types more
common to the Terrace area
are: Kings, Alexander's,
Transparents, Gravensteins,
Wealthies, Winter Bananas,
Dutchess, to name a few.

' Golden delicious is a nice
sweet apple, It is also good

for baking in cakes, because
it holds it’s shape. Granny
Smith and Spartan are good
in this respect too.

MARIA COUTINHO and her mother Olivia Henriques have a number of apple
trees on their Pear St. farm. You'll find their apples, plums and pears of course
every Saturday at the Farmer's Market.

- For a sweet to tart apple,

McIntosh or Spartan are a
goad choice.

A nice tart apple for
baking:is the Granny Smith,

Gravenstein or transparent...

Personally, the transparent
is my favorile for pies.

Granvenslein, McIntosh
and Transparent break down
nicely for sauces etc...

T always try to put some of
my favorite baking apples
away in the deep freeze and
Store eating apples for the

winter. Many varieties will
keep on into January. Ask
where you pick or buy ap-
ples, which ones are recom-
mended for baking and
which store best.

Course helps young girls

GIRLS IN GRADES six and seven
are being invited to take part in a
unique program, put on by The Fam-
ily Place,

Called Girls in the 90s, the program
is designed to give girls a boost to
their self-esteem, something which
many studies show that girls need at
that age.

“We hope to give them a better
sense of who they are and where
they’re going,” says program
organizer Darlene Westerman.

It’s based on a similar program

which bas been successful in Van-.

couver.

We'll deal with how girls feel
about themselves, how they feel about
school,’’ she says.

Westerman says that by talking to
girls ata young age, she hopes to try
and forestall some of the many social
pressures they face.

“They're worried that they’re too
fat, or too thin,”’ she says.

Girls as young as grade four start
worrying abont dicts, so Westerman
thinks this would be an ideal age
group to reach. — ;

The program will be structured

around activities, such as role playing
games. And there’s plenty of time for
free discussion.

The Family Place gave out flyers to
Uplands and Cassie Hall girls, and
Wesierman is hoping for a good
response.

The program started this Monday,
and runs each Monday from 4-5:30
p.m. for 12 weeks, at the Family
Place, 4553 Park Ave. Girls can join
at any time, and drop-ins are wel-
come. There’s no cost to participants,
For more info call Darlene at 638-
1863 or Natasha at 635-4479.
