On the second count, Fruit Continued From Page 3-B ripe fruit. Fruit growers can't pick their fruit when it is soft and then ship it, because it would not ship well and would soon spoil. Instead, they pick it when it has reached full maturity, but is .still firm. A fully mature fruit is one in which all the natural sugars have developed so it can ripen to full flavor. When the yellow background color of the nec tarines and peaches is fully developed, so are the sugars; for plums, full primary color is the key. Fruit growers use color chips, just like paint chips, a different set for each variety, to make sure the color is just right. At that point, the fruit is picked and immediately cooled to 34 degrees before being shipped in refrigerated trucks to markets nationwide. Firm mature fruit stored be tween 36 degrees and 46 de grees can suffer from "chilling injury" which causes brown ing, mushiness, and loss of fla vor. (Note: home refrigerators are kept in this temperature range, which is why fruit should not be stored in your refigerator unless it is already soft and ripe.)

Raymond Chesson, guilty using fictitious or improper will ripen and soften if it is kept between 50 degrees and 77 degrees. Unfortunately, many supermarkets still con tinue to chill the fruit, so that it doesn't become as sweet and juicy as it could. Some supermarkets partici pate in a new program called "Partners in Ripeness" with California fruit growers who want their customers to have sweet fruit. At stores display ing these signs, you will know you are getting fruit that has been properly handled. If you don't see the signs, ask the pro duce manager if the fruit on display was kept out of the cooler. When selecting fruit, check the background color. There should be no hint of green. Give the fruits a final ripen ing at home. Simply put them in a paper bag for a few days until they are exactly as ripe and soft as you wish. Fruits produce ethylene gas in vary ing amounts which helps the ripening process. You can put them all in a bag together be cause plums especially will benefit from the larger amounts of ethylene produced by peaches and nectarines. After ripening, they can be stored in the refrigerator. If you buy properly handled fruit and care for it at home, you'll be eating summer-sweet fruit similar to what is available in an open-air market in sun 3 inspection, fined$10pluscour1 - costs. , Michael Eugene Evans, i guilty, speeding 70 in a 55 mph 1 zone, prayer for judgment con 1 tinued granted upon payment F of court costs.

Grilled Peaches with Blackberry Sauce Grilledpeaches taste just like a luscious peach cobbler, warm, and sweet, but without the crust. You can grill nectar ines and plums, accompanying them with a vanilla sauce or ice cream. 6 peaches, halved, pitted and peeled juice of one lemon Put the peaches in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent them from discoloring. Prepare a fire in a grill or preheat a gas grill. Rujb a clean grill rack lightly with vegetable oil.

Fellow of The Academy of General Dentistry GUM DISEASE AND BAD BREATH When you look at your teeth and gums in the mirror, they may look strong and healthy with no signs of decay. Yet you may be troubled by mouth odor or bad breath. The decay must be there somewhere, but you don't have the instruments or expertise to detect it, especially if it is lurking below the gumline. Bad breath in an otherwise healthy per son is often caused by decomposing food particles and the bacteria that feed on them. It is also caused by decaying or diseased teeth and gums. Even the most strenuous and regular brushing and flossing at home cannot reverse these problems without your dentist's help. Any incidence of bleeding gums when you brush ortioss couia De a sign tnat you nave gum disease. You may not feel any discomfort in your gums, but the disease is there and may get worse, causing loose teeth and other prob lems, as well as bad breath. If you have a mouth odor problem, see your dentist for a checkup. He can restore any decayed teetn and treat the gum disease so your teeth can be saved and your breath can smell fresh and pleasant again.

According to this provision, drivers may deduct a fixed amount for every business mile, and owners may reimburse employees' for car use at the same rate. Employees aren't required to keep piles of receipts, and employers don’t have to deal with potential payroll taxes and other accounting headaches. It's no wonder that the standard mileage rate has been so popular. Another nice thing about the standard mileage rate Is that it always seemed to increase each year. For example, the rate grew from 31 cents per mile In 1996, to 31.5 cents In 1997, and to 32.5 cents In 1998. You can imagine the surprise that many people felt when the IRS announced the rate for 1999: 31 cents per mile. In other words, this year’s rate was scheduled to decrease. Many employers complained to the IRS about short notice, so the effective date for the lower rate (31 cents) was delayed until April 1,1999. From January 1,1999, through March 31,1999, the 1998 rate (32.5 cents) continued in effect. After April 1, employers who pay more than 31 cents per mile must treat the excess as compensation, and employees who receive more than 31 cents must report the excess as Income. What about the future? Nobody knows when the standard mileage rate will increase again. In fact, it could drop even further. If you’ve been using the standard rate, you might want to consider claiming your actual car expenses. The actual expense method requires more recordkeeping, but the tax savings could be substantial. If you would like details on the pros and cons of both methods and a review of what would work best In your situation, give us a call. SYKES & COMPANY, P.A.
