Take a Peach to the Beach
Summer brings with it an abun-dance of fruits, like peaches, that reach their peak of juicy perfection in the heat of July. Peaches are rich in antioxidants that help to maintain a great com-plexion. Antioxidants are substances that protect the body by eliminat-ing free radicals, which cause cell damage and can contribute to aging. The sun brings out free radicals in the skin and antioxidants protect skin cells by counteracting free-radical activity — so take a peach to the beach!
Fresh, high-quality peaches are sweet tasting and low in calories, as well as saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, and high in vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, niacin and potassi-um. Since one medium peach is only about 37 calories, they’re also an excellent snack or guilt-free dessert.
There are more than 200 variet-ies of peaches, which are sometimes referred to as “stone” fruit due to their pits. Cling or clingstone peaches have a pit to which the flesh “clings.” Freestone peaches have a pit from which the juicy, soft flesh is easily pulled away. There is no taste dif-ference between freestone and cling-stone peaches.
Some popular types of white peach-es are the Sugar May, Scarlet Pearl, Southern Pearl and White Lady. The key differences between white and yellow peaches are their appearance
and taste. The white peach has a pearl, pink-blushed skin, white flesh and pink seed. White peaches are less acid-ic, resulting in a delicately sweet, juicy flavor containing essences of honey and vanilla, and finishing with a clean sweetness. White peaches are best eaten out of hand, as like most peaches they don’t improve with cooking.
The best way to choose a peach, whether white or yellow, is by the feel and smell, not the color. Look for peaches that are somewhat firm yet yield lightly to pressure when applied. When you can smell the sweetness of a peach, then you know that fruit is ready to eat.
Peaches are sensitive and should be handled with care and stored in a single layer, as they bruise easily. If unripe, store them in a paper bag. If ripe, they may be stored in the refrigerator for a week, depending on the degree of ripeness. For full succu-lence, bring them to room tempera-ture and then enjoy both the flavor and aroma. Avoid picking peaches that are extremely small, hard, soft or have wrinkled skin at the stem end. Peaches that have a green background are picked in an unripe stage and will not ripen well.
If you’re fortunate enough to have more peaches than you can eat, you can freeze them. Peel and slice the fruit and mix with one tablespoon each of lemon juice and sugar. Place them into a sealable storage bags and freeze for future use.
Peaches are available throughout the year. California supplies them
from May to October, peaking in July. Washington peaches are available from July to September, while Chile supplies them the rest of the year.Here are some fun facts about peaches:
• These “Persian apples” actuallyhad their beginning in China, but were developed in Persia and went from there to Europe and then to America with the colonists.
• The nectarine and the peach are sosimilar that there is only one gene that separates the two to make them dis-tinct. The nectarine has one recessive gene — the one with the fuzz.
• “You’re a real peach” originatedfrom the tradition of giving a peach to your beloved friends.
• Most peaches are cultivated bygrafting different combinations of rootstocks onto scions.
This recipe for Peaches and Cream Pops is a cool way to enjoy this fan-tastic fruit on a hot summer day.
PEACHES AND CREAM POPS1/2 cup peeled, chopped fresh
peaches1/3 cup peeled, pureed fresh
peaches2/3 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
2 tablespoons honey1. Puree 1/3 cup of the peaches in a
blender or food processor until smooth. Using a small bowl, mix together the peach puree, yogurt, honey and remaining 1/2 cup of peaches.
2. Spoon the peach mixture into 4ice cream-pop molds and insert the handle. Freeze for at least 4 hours. Makes 4 servings.

Foot Health Today
DR. JAMES SCHELBERG
FOOT CARE FOR DIABETICS QUESTION: I have heard that diabetics have special problems with their feet. Why is this? ANSWER: Circulation in the diabetic foot is often impaired and this can lead to a number of problems. For one thing, the diabetic foot has a reduced ability to fight off infection and disease. A simple cut or sore, if unnoticed or neglected, may develop into a very serious condition. The Podiatrist can monitor circulation by checking your foot
and leg for signs of impending problems. In addition, since decreased sensitivity of nerves can hide minor foot injuries, the podiatrist can check for these in order to prevent serious damage.

SYMPHONIC NEWS
Coming up soon, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival is presenting an extraordinary virtual Music Festival beginning August 26. Five days of virtual concerts will feature artists and music that can be enjoyed in the comfort and safety of one’s home. The artists featured will include Christine Goerke, Tessa Lark, Paul Watkins, and the Bren-tano String Quartet. The virtual performances will be presented at no charge.
Dear readers – welcome back! I hope that you are all well and will stay well.
These past months served as a tremendous change of pace for all of us in many aspects of life, as well as in the entertainment business. The encouraging news seems to be the beginning of our return to a more natural lifestyle. For myself, I am happy that the Downtown Monitor is coming back to inform all of us who are involved with the City of Detroit and its surroundings.
While public performances have all been can-celled during those recent long months, music and other art forms have continued in different venues. These include access to performances through Facebook, and communications through Zoom. Some of us have had to familiarize ourselves with certain technical applications they haven’t used before the scourge of the pandemic, but the knowledge should serve us for the future as well. The ability to keep abreast of the events through the Facebook page of any entertainment company should continue to serve us well.
The DSO has published its new season and has been presenting some programs on media such as Zoom or YouTube. The tentative public series is not expected to start until January but let’s hope that by then conditions will not necessi-tate further cancellations or delays.
We are all working together to achieve maxi-mum benefits and I believe that this will hap-pen in the relatively near future.

shades and backgrounds. Our own Governor, Gretch-en Whitmer has emerged as one of the up and com-ing names in the Demo-crat party and was one of the convention’s opening speakers. And the big win this year
for all women and ironi-cally for the 100th Anni-versary of women’s right to vote, is the announcement of the Democrat presiden-tial nominee Joe Biden’s running mate, Kamala Har-ris, the first woman of color and only the third woman ever to run for the vice-presidential position. There are plenty of
“Firsts” associated with Harris; she is the first black woman and first person of Indian descent to be nomi-nated for a national office, the first to graduate from an historical black college - Howard University, and the first to be a member of Al-pha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
a black woman’s sorority.President Trump also hon-
ored the 100th anniversa-ry of the ratification of the 19th Amendment women’s right to vote. On August 18th, 100 years to the day of its ratification, President Trump granted a full and complete pardon for Su-san B. Anthony (pictured), the historical leader of the women’s suffrage move-ment. Anthony was a for-mer teacher who spent five decades leading the consti-tutional battle for women’s right to vote. Two weeks after she cast
her ballot in the 1872 presidential election in her hometown of Rochester, N.Y., she was arrested and later convicted of voting il-legally. She was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and court costs.Remember,, America is
built on Diversity…many people doing the same thing in a different way.
100th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote Laydell Harper
Almost to the day, this week, the United States will celebrate 100 years of women’s suffrage. The Nineteenth Amendment, ratified on August 18, 1920, and certified as part of the Constitution on August 26, 1920, granted women the right to vote. But only after a hard-fought battle waged by American women for that precious right. Michi-gan women were ahead of the other states and won the right to vote in 1918.According to a recent
publication, in practice, many women — particu-larly Black women in the South — could not exer-cise their right to vote until decades later. Still, women’s suffrage altered the political landscape in the United States. And, as it spread across the demo-cratic world in the first half of the twentieth century, women’s suffrage altered international politics, as well — in particular, by reducing the likelihood of interstate conflict, espe-cially between democratic countries. There’s so much media
coverage about the upcom-ing November election it’s almost impossible to in-clude all of the rich history about the 19th Amend-ment. That was 100 years ago
and look where women are today. Not only are women voting in large numbers, but we are an important part of the vote. And many women are now actually running for political office and winning. This election year’s Dem-
ocratic National Conven-tion slate of speakers is dominated by women of all

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I don't own a dog, but I have a minor problem with one. My neighbor has a Staf-fordshire terrier named "Hazel." Almost every day, Hazel is let out into the neighbor's backyard, and she quickly escapes by jumping over the short gate at the side of the house. Then she walks into my yard to visit me as I work in the garden.Hazel is very nice, so I don't feel threatened at
all. I'll give her a few pats and then lead her back over to her house. But I worry about her running around the neighborhood, off-leash and unsuper-vised. How should I approach my neighbor about her roaming? -- Greg in Albany, New York
DEAR GREG: You're right to be concerned. Hazel could be hit by a car; she could be attacked by an-other dog; or she could frighten other residents who might injure her. If police or animal control officers see her, she will likely be picked up and taken to the local pound.The next time Hazel comes over to visit, head next
door and knock on your neighbor's door. Talk to them calmly about raising the height of the gate so that she can't leap over it.You're a good neighbor to bring Hazel back each
time, but ultimately it is the responsibility of her owner to make sure she stays in her yard. Remind your neighbor that having a dog off a leash can re-sult in steep fines from the city or county.Send your tips, comments and questions to ask@

* The first documented use of toilet paper comes from 6th-century A.D. China.
*There are more than 40,000 toilet-related inju-ries in the U.S. each year. * The University of Liv-erpool Library reported that someone used a plas-tic-wrapped slice of "un-determined" cheese as a bookmark in one of its returned books. The li-brary tweeted a photo of the offending item with the caption, "This is not a bookmark," prompting re-sponses that ranged from "Well, not anymore after you removed it" to "No whey." * When Benjamin Frank-lin invented his own har-monica, it became so popular in Europe that Mozart and Beethoven composed music for it. * Research has shown that everyone has up to six dop-pelgangers. However, your chance of actually meet-ing one of your own in your lifetime is only 9%. * Shoppers have proved willing to pay a premium for cage-free, organic or wild-caught ingredients. But can they trust their suppliers? Sure, with the use of a track-ing device. ZhongAn Online, a Chinese insurance compa-ny, has outfitted more than 100,000 chickens with sen-sors uploading information such as how much exercise each chicken gets and what it ate. The company is also working on facial-recog-nition technology so con-sumers can one day ensure the organic chicken they saw on the farm is the one that ends up on their plate.
