H(lWTOPICK'EM
Adair County's vine-ripened
strawberriesare handpicked,then
shipped to markets either the
same day or the very next morning.
O Strawberries do not ripen after
being picked, so consu m e r s
should be selective and choose
only fully red-ripeberriesthat are
plump and well-rounded with a
natural shine and fresh-looking
green caps.
o To hold berries at their best,
remove them from their con-
tainers and arrange them in a
single layer on a cookie sheet or
other shallow container and refrigerate.
o Strawberries kept refrigerated will stay fresh and bright for
severaldays.
o Don't wash strawberries or
remove caps until just before using. Washing removes the natural
protectiveouter layerand the caps
protect the strawberries' texture,
flavor and nutrients.

LakeTenkiller,
It was a summer morning on Lake
Tenkiller,and while a few campers stirred
in tents pitched under trees along the
shore,a Great Blue Heronwaded along the
rocky beach,dipping his neck occasionally
to grab a fish.
And then the roar of a motorboat and
the laughterof a water skierjolted the morning quiet and cracked the mirror calm of
the lake.
The heron squawked in protest, effortlessly rose from the lake and glided
underneathStanding Rock bridge and up
Caney Creek cove in search of a less
populated haven.
The smell of hickory smoke and sizzling
bacon drifted through the trees. lt has been
this way, winter and summer, for 15 years
on Tenkiller Ferry Reservoir.
When the season is at its peak, it is
estimated as many as 10,000 persons
gather around the shore of the lake.
They occupy tent sites in three state
parks,one city park and 14 parks operated
by the Army Engineers;cluster into 17 picnic grounds and set up for the weekend in
14 cabin areas.
They launch boats at 17 public ramps so
they can prowl 12,500acresof water; they
stalk along 130 miles of shore; they fish
everywhere, even indoors in seven heated
fishing docks.
Tenkiller is more than any other lake, a
family lake, a vacationer'splace.
Many Sooners consider it the state's
prettiest lake. The clear blue of the lllinois
cannot be matched by the waters of the
Grand, the Verdigris, the Canadian, the
Red, certainlynot the Arkansasand Cimarron which are impounded by the other major dams.-Tulsa Tribune
