Health Tip of the Week

Food Safety Basics for Fruits and Vegetables

Carefully select fresh fruits and vegetables. When shopping, look for produce that is not damaged or bruised and make sure that pre-cut produce is refrigerated or surrounded by ice.
Rinse all fruits and vegetables before eating. This recommendation also applies to produce with rinds or skins that are not eaten. Rinse produce just before preparing or eating to avoid premature spoilage. Follow these simple steps:

1. Clean all surfaces and utensils with soap and hot water, including cutting boards, peelers, counter tops, and knives that will touch fresh produce. Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables, including those with skins and rinds that are not eaten, under clean running water and avoid using detergents or bleach. Remove the outer leaves of leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage before washing. Produce with firm skin, such as potatoes, may require rubbing with a vegetable brush while rinsing under clean running water to remove all soil.
3. Dry fruits and vegetables with a clean paper towel and prepare, cook, or eat.
4. Packaged produce labeled "ready to eat," "pre-washed," or "triple washed" can be used without further washing.

Summer has arrived-with multiple events happening here on the weekends, I would strongly suggest you and/or your company arrive down front early to get in line and be waiting to get on the ferry. They do have a maximum number of people that they can safely carry on board and once they hit that number they cannot make exceptions for anyone.

We have been getting many complaints about the congested streets. If you are walking or riding bicycles with a group, you need to ALL go to one side of the road and make room for vehicles to pass. Splitting up and going to both sides of the street to make room for a vehicle to "squeeze" through is not safe. Same thing goes for a very slow moving golf cart. While the speed limit on the Island is 20mph, there are carts that go slow enough that they are overtaken by vehicles-remember to pull to the right and let them pass.
