COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana. Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

For Your Palate Foods are mixed a million ways It makes them quite delicious The blends create a taste unique A mixture that’s nutritious. Dishes cooked and savored well An art that is not ruthless Ingredients are now combined It’s a menu for the toothless. Taters raw and peeled up The stove’s in the addition Boiled to a softened state They’re smashed past recognition. Carrots take the same approach Vegetables are stewed Means that are mechanical For meats that can’t be chewed. Sweet potatoes cooked and mashed Then butter is accrued He liked the texture and the taste He called it baby food.

Grapes pureed and in a dish He said the flavor’s fine But it’s served a month too soon Back home we’d call it wine. Helping two was on his plate Each dish, he offered tips Every morsel now consumed He firmly smacked his lips. Ground Hog’s day is coming up He made his statement clear “German is my heritage I must have some beer.” Connection, it is finally made The cooks then got the message He said, “Ground hog is a wee bit flat, We blend it in to sausage.”

Money Talks

By guest contributor Greg Dugdale of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Havre, Montana

BENEFIT FROM GOOD ADVICE In this time of corporate downsizing and restructuring, many people find themselves pursuing a new career with a new employer. Embarking on a new career should inspire a revision of your existing retirement plan including your future income, eventual age of retirement, and standard of living. In addition to this revision of future retirement considerations, don’t ignore your current employee benefits package. Employee benefits and “perks” can account for more than a third of the total compensation your new employer has to offer and should be an important consideration in a complete financial plan. It’s important to understand how to get the most benefit from the options available in your new position. Of course, working with the employee benefits people to gain a full grasp of all that is available is your best option. Here are a few tips to get the most out of this relationship and maximize your benefits. 1. 2.

4. 5. 6. 7.

Coordinate health benefits with your existing health coverage. Avoid duplicating coverage or you’ll end up paying for what you don’t need. Contribute as much as you can to your company’s qualified retirement plan. If your employer offers matching funds, increase your saving enough to maximize that contribution. Tax-deferred buildup and matching contributions are two “perks” that are too good to pass up. Review disability options. The chances of an employee becoming disabled for an extended period of time and prevented from working are far greater than those of dying before 65. Many benefit plans offer good coverage that is much cheaper than that available from insurance companies. Determine how much life insurance you need. If you have dependents, you may need to have additional life insurance outside the coverage provided in your benefits package. Consider private life and disability insurance if you change jobs often. These benefits are transferable, so your coverage will continue and you won’t be exposed during career transition. Find out about other benefit options your employer provides such as child care, paid vacations and holidays, extended leave policies, education reimbursement, and employee discount packages. Review your benefits regularly and adjust your participation to changes in your family and life. Be sure they still meet your long-term concerns and goals.

With the help of your financial planner, making well thought out choices about your employee benefits will make you enjoy your new career move and help you stay financially healthy.

Tap on the shoulder A true story from the pages of the Manchester Evening Times. Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford station leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then, the shaking driver said, “Are you okay? I’m so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me.” The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said, “I didn’t realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly.” The driver replied, “No, no, I’m the one who is sorry. It’s entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab. I’ve been driving a hearse for 25 years.”

Bill’s Food

Corner

Dig right in to our newest regular guest column! Bill Hake invites you to test his recipes and his theories and tell us what you think. And he takes “requests”!



Hi, my name is Bill Hake. Tricia has graciously agreed to let me author a food column for the Trader, and I’m excited to see where it goes. First a little about myself: other than having a compelling addiction to wholesome, good-tasting food, my qualifications to author a food column are slim to none, so for that reason I’m hoping to involve you readers because I know there is a treasure trove of excellent recipes and fabulous cooks out there. I spent my junior years in Kansas swinging on the back screen door of a restaurant, as my Mother and Grandmother operated one for as long as I can remember. However, that didn’t contribute to my culinary education, as my job was to scrub the floors after closing and haul in the corn cobs to fire the wood cook stove in the kitchen. That kind of dates me, doesn’t it? During my high school years in the late 1940’s I ran the wheat harvest from Texas to Montana, and because the girls in Montana were prettier and friendlier than the girls in Kansas, I married a Montana girl, moved to Shelby and became a transplanted native Montanan. In the late 1960’s I purchased a lodge in the Gallatin Canyon 40 miles north of West Yellowstone. That was where my interest in food preparation began and continues to this day. On occasion I will sneak into my wife Mary’s kitchen and dirty up a lot of pots and pans—to her credit, she doesn’t complain. Since moving to Turner and becoming involved with the Blaine County II Ambulance service, my thoughts have turned to health issues and the natural result of that is the understanding of how interrelated health and food are in our lives. So with that brief introduction I would like to start a discussion about good food, good nutrition and good health. I know without question that some of my opinions on food will stir up a lively debate, which I welcome; all I ask is that we keep the conversation civil. All one has to do is take a good look at our society to understand that the dietary information we are being fed is not getting the job done, so let’s start the discussion and see if we can bring to the surface some of the ideas out there that are working. Your comments will be important to the future of the Food Corner. You can contact me at bhake@mtintouch.net or Bill’s Food Corner, PO Box 81, Turner, MT 59542.

A SINCERE THANK YOU! On behalf of the Chinook Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a special thank you goes out to all of our members for their continued support in 2011! We look forward to a successful 2012 by helping to make Chinook great!

We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. You may agree, you may disagree with Dr. Kerns’ Ramblings, but

you will always have something to discuss over dinner.

Fifteen years ago, I assembled a horse and mule cavy to use in my cattle drive business. My specs were not overly rigid and I bought, rode, packed and drove about anything with a whinny, four feet and a pulse. Good horses made the string; the bad ones did not. In those days, there was a slaughter market for horse meat, so even the crankiest critter had intrinsic value. An occasional horse was nice and usable, but not for us, so we found them a home elsewhere. Such the case was with Clifford. A bruised young lady limped into my clinic one afternoon with a gut wrenching story. She hauled her horse up from Florida and moved in with her new Montana boyfriend who turned out to be a graduate of the Mike Tyson Charm School. She had had enough and needed to sell her horse so she could afford a one-way ticket back to the sunshine state. Contrary to those who label all conservatives as cruel and heartless, I bought her story and her horse and she walked out the door with $800. Here is where it got interesting. Her horse was a 19 hand, 2,200 pound Belgian gelding we named Clifford after a character in a children’s book. Other than an elephant I saw in vet school, he was the biggest animal I had ever touched. When people first spotted Clifford they always mouthed, “Wow,” and he was breathtaking, but we were not sure how to use him in our string. Trying everything, one evening I saddled up Clifford and trotted him into the arena for a little cowboy polo—something similar to barrel racing in a school bus. Polo wasn’t his game. Next we hitched him to a small two seat surrey and discovered he was easy to drive, which was good because this was like dropping a 1000 horsepower Pratt and Whitney engine into a Volkswagen bug. Lastly, on our first cattle drive of the season, we rigged a pack saddle to fit him and stuck him in the pack string with the mules. He wasn’t a Clydesdale and it wasn’t Budweiser, but appropriately, he carried six, five-gallon Coors Light Party Balls for our guests. We sent Clifford with the kitchen string and cooks up the Little Horn Canyon several hours ahead of the cattle. What could possibly go wrong? Six miles up the canyon is a very steep series of switchbacks. Clifford was halfway up the mountainside when the outside edge of the trail gave way from the weight of his left hind foot. With cat-like reflexes, most Quarter Horses would athletically scramble back to solid footing. Clifford was a Belgian. He tumbled end over end down to the river where he lodged upside down on his back between a log and a boulder. He wasn’t hurt, just resting, but one Party Ball did explode spraying beer to the tree tops. When Clifford caught his breath, the cooks rolled him over by tugging on pack ropes they tied to his legs. He stood up; they repacked him and headed to camp. We packed Clifford six times a year for three years and he never made one trip without tumbling over at least once. He was so big and out of his element it just wasn’t possible for him to do the task at hand, so we found him a new home with a former guest from the plains of eastern Wyoming. This brings me to my point. Just like Clifford, the federal government has grown to a massive size and it is floundering while trying to do things it was not designed to do. Even worse, the federal government is attempting to do things it was expressly prohibited from doing. Let me explain. The framers of our Constitution enumerated the specific powers of the federal government, concluding with the Tenth Amendment stating powers not granted to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people. In case they forgot something, our founders wrote this catch-all amendment to purposely limit the size of the federal government relative to the states. Obamacare, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clear Air Act, and the executive ruling on the Keystone XL pipeline, are regulations derived from powers not found in our Constitution. Do you see the pattern? So, here is what we do. The federal government will never voluntarily surrender its newly created powers, so it is the obligation of the states, namely the state legislatures, to force them. Returning to a constitutional republic with a proper vertical balance of powers won’t be easy, only worth it. To do anything less, will collapse our great American experiment in freedom.
