“pup” culture iconson National Dog Day,Aug. 26.

Tomato TalkNothing says summer quite like the

taste of a fresh tomato. Easy to growand full of vitamins and other nutrients,tomatoes are popular picks at farmers’markets, in home gardens, and as aningredient in a variety of dishes.

The hundreds of tomato varieties arecategorized according to their use:

Globe tomatoes. These are typicallywhat people picture when they hearthe word “tomato.” Large, round andred, globe tomatoes are ideal forsandwiches, which is why they’re oftencalled slicing tomatoes. They’re alsoknown as beefsteak tomatoes becauseof their meaty texture.

Salad tomatoes. This is the name forany medium-sized tomato, about 2 to3 inches in diameter, with a juicy,intense flavor. There are more cultivatedvarieties of salad tomatoes than anyother type of tomato.

Cherry and grape tomatoes. Thesetiny tomatoes are shaped like the fruitsthey’re named after. They’re very sweetand juicy, so they make a perfect snackor salad topping.

Roma tomatoes. These are thetomatoes you want if you’re making asauce or stew. Also called plum, pasteor Italian tomatoes, Romas feature athick skin and less moisture, so theyhave a long shelf life. Sweet and firm,they’re easily recognized by theiregg shape.

A Celestial SpectacleMillions across the U.S. will

have their eyes on the sky thismonth: The first coast-to-coastsolar eclipse in nearly a centurywill take place on Aug. 21.

A total solar eclipse occurswhen the moon moves betweenthe sun and the Earth, coveringthe sun and casting a shadowon Earth.

This month’s eclipse is uniquebecause its path will cross theU.S. diagonally from Oregon toSouth Carolina, passing throughparts of 14 states.

All areas of the continentalU.S. will experience at least apartial eclipse, but people in the70-mile-wide “path of totality”will see a total eclipse, when onlythe sun’s outer atmosphere, thecorona, will be visible. In themiddle of the day, twilight will fallfor up to 2 minutes, 40 seconds;stars and planets will be visible;and the temperature will drop,just like at nighttime.

The view is sure to bebreathtaking, but experts cautionthat looking directly at the suncan cause permanent eyedamage. Special eclipse glassesor solar viewers are essential.

The next total solar eclipse inthe U.S. will occur in 2024.

Diamond DreamsEach summer, youngsters across

the U.S. and the world take the fieldas Little League ballplayers.

Variations of baseball have beenaround since the 18th century.When the game grew to be thenational pastime, children playedpickup games in streets andsandlots, often using castoffequipment that was madefor adults.

In 1938, Carl Stotz ofWilliamsport, Pa., wanted to givehis young nephews and otherneighborhood boys the opportunityto play on a field and wear uniformsin an organized league. He spentmonths testing gear and fielddimensions and recruiting playersfor three teams. Stotz also askedsponsors to help pay for theuniforms and equipment to keepcosts low for families.

The first Little League gameswung into action in Williamsport in1939. The program was a hit, and

leagues popped up across thecountry, then around the globe.The first National Little LeagueTournament—now known as theannual Little League Baseball WorldSeries—was played in 1947.

From the beginning, Stotz wantedLittle League to be a place forchildren to learn the game in a funenvironment, with an emphasis onsportsmanship and teamwork.Parents have always beenencouraged to step up to the plateas volunteer coaches, managers,umpires and more.

Today, more than 200,000 teamsin 80 countries participate inLittle League.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:It is the mailperson’s goal and

ours, that all tenants receive all oftheir mail on time. Recently, I havebeen approached by tenants thatare upset that time sensitive maildid not reach them when expected.Sometimes, this may happen dueto office traffic and whether or not Ihave time to sort and label all of themail I get in one day that does nothave the full address listed on it.The BEST way to avoid any delayat all is to MAKE SURE THAT ALLOF YOUR CONTACTS HAVE THECORRECT APARTMENTNUMBER. This will ensure you getyour mail on time every time. Thankyou for your help in this matter.

The Lure of FishingFrom casting a line to reeling in

“the big one,” fishing can be arelaxing and rewarding form ofrecreation. Fish through these populartypes of the sport:

Freshwater. Whether fishing fromthe banks, a bridge or in a boat, manylike the easy access of freshwaterlakes, ponds and rivers. The gear andbait used depends on the type of fishyou’re trying to hook. Bass, bluegill,catfish, crappie and walleye areabundant species.

Saltwater. Oceans and seas aremade of salt water, and fishing canbe enjoyed from a beach or from aboat in deep waters. Bluefish, cod,flounder, grouper, marlin, tarponand tuna are some of the prizedsaltwater game fish. Many touristspots offer chartered fishing trips foradventurous anglers.

Fly. Fly-fishers cast artificial “flies”onto the surface of the water in arhythmic motion to imitate insectsand other bait in order to attract fish.Fly-fishing is often associated withmountain streams, but it can alsobe done in ponds, lakes and saltwater. Trout and salmon arecommon catches.

Ice. Winter’s cold doesn’t stop icefishermen, who cut a hole in a frozenlake or pond, then drop a line.Shelters such as ice shanties providerelief from the elements.

Spectacular SucculentsTall and spiky, plump and fuzzy,

tiny and delicate—with something foreveryone and easy to tend, succulentsmay be the perfect houseplants.

From the Latin word sucus,meaning “juice” or “sap,” asucculent is loosely defined as anyplant that stores water in its leavesor stems. Cactuses likely come tomind, but they are just one type ofsucculent; not all succulents areconsidered cactuses.

Succulents are popular choicesfor gardeners of all types. They’reextremely low maintenance, and someexperts say they “thrive on neglect.”The plants require very little water andare generally pest-resistant. Theycome in a wide variety of interestingshapes, sizes and textures, and inpractically every color of the rainbow.Some succulents will bloom under theproper conditions.

Growing succulents can quicklybecome a fun and addictive-yet-harmless hobby. It’s easy topropagate new succulents by takinga leaf from a bigger plant, letting itdry in the sun, then repotting it.

Many succulents can be grownindoors or outdoors and typicallyrequire at least six hours of full sundaily. Popular varieties includehen-and-chicks, aloe vera, jadeplants, snake plants and sedum, alsoknown as stonecrop.
