Blueberries ripe in county
Had any blueberries lately? H not,
you should certainly try some.
Please don't make the mistake I did.
I purchased blueberries from the
store once, tasted them and
decided, "Ugh, blueberries are not
my 'cup of tea." However, during a
recent tour of a local blueberry farm,
I rediscovered blueberries. Nothing
tastes better than a fresh blueberry
picked from the bush. I'm sure the
owner thought I'd never stop picking
and tasting. By the time I finished
oooo-ing and aaah-ing about how
good the blueberries were, I had
eaten half a pint of the berries!
Blueberries are really a con-
venience food and a great snack.
There is no pitting, no peeling, no
puttering and no waste. A half-cup
serving of blueberries contains only
44 calories. Blueberries are a good
source of vitamins A and C. They
also contain potassium, phosphorus
and calcium.
Buying blueberries is a very
simple matter. You should choose
those that are plump and firm with a
light, powdery gray-blue color on
the outside of the berry called the
"bloom." The bloom is sometimes
rubbed off when blueberries are
handled mechanically. An immature
berry is distinguished by a reddish
tinge. Avoid stained or leaky con-
tainers. Blueberries will keep longer
than any other berry when
refrigerated — from 10 days to two
weeks and should not be washed
until ready to use.
Blueberries can be frozen as well
as canned. To freeze blueberries,
place unwashed blueberries in a
single layer on a baking sheet;
freeze. Transfer frozen berries to
plastic bags or freezer containers.
To use, rinse and drain — no need
to thaw before using.
You may also dry or syrup-pack
blueberries when you freeze them.
If you desire additional information
about preserving blueberries,
please phone me at 756-5391.

Students from Tammie Duncan
School of Dance took their first shot
at acting recently as they performed
several fables and fairy tales for
family members and friends. The
performance was the end result of
two weeks of drama classes con-
ducted by Eddie Smith.
This was the third time Eddie has
conducted theatre workshops with
Duncan students, but the first time
that he and the students have
devoted all of their efforts toward a
performance.
He said, "In the past, we have
learned about what makes a play,
what different types of theatres ex-
ist, and what kinds of exercises are
used in acting classes. We have al-
so taken two groups on backstage
tours of the Perot Theatre in
Texarkana. But these last two
weeks were spent in a rehearsal
situation. We read scripts, blocked
scenes, memorized lines, and basi-
cally did everything it takes to
produce a show. And we had a lot
of fun in the process."
He has worked professionally in
theatres across the country since
1974. He earned his degree in
theatre production from Stephens
College in Columbia, Mo., where he
had been awarded an acting
scholarship. For the past two years,
he has been performing a one-man
show for children, and has ap-
peared several times in the public
schools of Atlanta and Queen City.
The stories performed last week
wore three selections from Aesop's
Fables, The Sun and the Wind, The
Miser, and The Milkmaid, and one
classical fairy tale, The Shoes That
Were Danced to Pieces.
The performances were staged at
Tammie Duncan School of Dance
located in the Country Square in At-
lanta. Plans are already being made
for a more elaborate show next
year.
Students participating included
Garrett Trim, Morgan Steger, Andi
Thompson, Abbie Long, Arden
Moore, Courtney Watkins, Jessica
Wheaton, Mason Steger, Missy
Moore, Katy Griffin, Sara Beckham,
Lyndsey Knight, Michele
Blakemore, Brandi Ouzts,
Stephanie McQueen and Tiffany
Sprayberry.
