Went to the Crossroads . . .

Okay, that’s a Faustian myth for another fabled blues guitarist, but anyone who attended Friday’s Jack Semple concert at the Majestic may have felt the Saskatchewan musician has sold his soul to channel the talents of the legendary B.B. King. Amazing is a word that pales in describing Semple’s performance - truly inspired and a fitting finale to the Biggar and District Arts Council concert season.

Biggar and Plenty Grade 10 students took part in a mock accident, May 2. Biggar firefighters, EMS, RCMP, Coroner, Great Plains LPNs, and many others showed what happens when it all goes wrong - from the party to the body bag. Not to discourage kids from fun activities, the program wants them to think about the consequences. Sun West School Division and Heartland Health joined together for the program. A video will be posted at biggarindependent.ca this Friday.

2016 Biggar and District Health Services Foundation annual report

by Gene Motruk, President, Biggar and District Health Services Foundation Inc. 2016 once again was a productive and successful fund raising year for the Biggar and District Health Services Foundation.

This is the Foundation’s Fourth Annual Report.

The Foundation continues to develop organization policies and refine its processes. The Foundation’s greatest challenge this past year and going forward is to remain in the public eye to attract members, volunteers and donations.

In 2016 the Foundation’s main fund raising activity was the Fourth Annual Dine/Dance/Silent Auction. The Foundation also receives donations in Memoriam and through direct contact with individuals, businesses and corporations.

All donations are graciously accepted.

As per the 2016 Review Engagement Report performed by Close Hauta Bertoia Blanchette - after expenses the Foundation had revenue of $71,500 and expenses of ($50,959).

The revenue included donations of $9,499 and the Dine/Dance/Silent Auction raised $62,001.

The expenses show a credit ($84,006), the credit was due to excess Foundation funds held

by Heartland Health Region. The excess funds paid for the purchase two EMS cardiac monitors for Biggar EMS and other equipment approved in prior years. The annual Dine/dance/Silent Auc-

tion expenses $24,915, auditor fees $2,200 and administration expenses $2,076 and advertising and promotion $706.

As of April 1, 2017 the Foundation has paid for all equipment and furnishings related to the construction of the new long-term care facility. The Foundation also made a commitment to Heartland to pay for the landscaping around the new facility if all the contingency funds are used up during construction, the Foundation may be responsible up to $136,525. Heartland Health Region and the general contractor are working on completing deficiencies and once this is done a full accounting of the project can be completed and our financial commitment can be completed.

The Biggar and District Health Services Foundation is committed to Biggar health services for the long term and will continue to fundraise to ensure physicians and staff have the latest equipment to meet the health needs of the residents of Biggar and District.

The Foundation encourages residents, organizations and businesses to continue to make donations to the Foundation.

The CRA Charity agency stipulates that the BDHS Foundation can only make donations to other charitable organizations.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Foundation’s Directors and to all the volunteers that participated in the Foundation’s fund raising activities throughout

2016.

Without everyone’s contributions the Foundation would not have achieved its fund raising goals.

Major increase in 2017 oil drilling forecast In a revision to expected drilling totals for 2017, the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) is forecasting a major increase in oil and gas activity in Saskatchewan.

Today’s update to the PSAC drilling activity forecast includes a significant increase in the estimated number of wells drilled in the province to a new total of 2,670 wells, up from 1,940 wells in the original forecast.

“This announcement is a clear sign of renewed operations in Saskatchewan, in part because of our province’s stable and competitive operating environment,” Energy and Resources Minister Dustin Duncan said.

“After an extended period of cost management and reductions, this industry is showing us once again the kind of resiliency and efficiency that makes it one of our most dynamic economic sectors and a major contributor to Saskatchewan’s economic growth.”

Nationally, PSAC is anticipating an estimated 6,680 wells will be drilled in 2017, an increase of 2,505 wells and a 60 per cent increase from the original 2017 drilling activity forecast released

Farmers are part of the country, not the region Agriculture has been on the minds of politicians lately for a number of reasons.

There was the whole trade discussion with the United States when President Trump flung out his musings on dairy farmers and the trade issue. His vow to get tough with the dairy industry caused quite a stir in Ottawa.

Here at home, Prime Minister Trudeau visited a farm in Gray, SK. One of the topics on the agenda was the carbon tax and the impact it will have on agriculture producers. As he hopped on a combine he was amazed to find a GPS and how it is used.

But, it takes more than a photo opp for a Prime Minister bent on imposing a carbon tax to see how it will affect the number one industry in Saskatchewan.

Despite the friendly atmosphere and learning opportunities, the Prime Minister is sticking with his unpopular levy of a carbon tax.

He still claims all the tax collected will remain in Saskatchewan. Hardly the message the crowd wanted to hear.

What is interesting in these two news stories is the fact that when referring to dairy farmers they are “Canada’s dairy farmers” but when referring to grain producers they are “Saskatchewan’s farmers”. Why the Prime Minister’s office differentiates between the two is a mystery but there it is.

Perhaps it is because one industry is predominately centered in Eastern Canada and the other in Western Canada.

Interesting, indeed . . .

Canada’s dairy farmers could become global champions

by Martha Hall Findlay, president and CEO, Canada West Foundation and Eric Dalke, policy analyst Canada West Foundation U.S. President Donald Trump placed the Canadian dairy industry in his sights when he sounded off about the “very unfair” supply management system. With a further tweet about Canada making life “difficult” for Wisconsin and border-state dairy farmers, our dairy industry finds itself at the top of the President’s trade hit list after an unprecedented several days in U.S.Canada relations.

While his comments have unsettled a few politicians and dairy lobbyists north of the border, the better message for Mr. Trump is this – be careful what you wish for. Despite the trade bluster, the irony that should become apparent to any forward-thinking Canadian dairy farmer or food processor is that an opportunity to open the U.S. and global market is actually a big opportunity to compete and win in global dairy trade.

Consider the potential. With a global middle-income population that is expected to grow to 4.9 billion people by 2030, the world market for dairy is exploding. The problem is that most of this increased demand will happen outside of our borders. Hamstrung by

our made-in-Canada cartel, Canadian farmers can’t access developing markets to compete with the Australians, New Zealanders and Americans.

The opportunity is significant. Those with global middle incomes consume more than 4 per cent more yogurt, butter and cheese a week compared with those in a lower income tier. In China alone, the market for dairy products grew almost 60 per cent between 2006 and 2010. Demand continues to surge for fluid and fresh dairy, cheese and infant formula, with estimated compounded annual growth rates between 3 and 5 per cent a year. One only needs to read stories about the run on baby formula in Hong Kong to see the mammoth appetite for dairy products in China.

Increased trade results in real gains for producers. According to a 2014 Conference Board report, liberalizing Canada’s dairy sector to serve global demand would result in a more than doubling of national milk production, an increase in the number of farms by 2.1 per cent and growth in average herd size to 187 cows. Not to mention, 8,500 new Canadian full-time jobs – 5,000 in primary production and 3,000 in processing.

More cows, more farmers, more processing jobs: Who can argue with that?

plan that is good for farmers. Australia successfully liberalized dairy trade in the early 2000s – based on a plan designed by producers themselves.

The eight-year transition plan put an 11-cents-a-litre levy on milk products to allow producers the chance to toolup and prepare for the new market reality. Now Australia is leading the world in dairy exports as a top-five producer.

Our governments and farm lobby should act now. With the confluence of NAFTA renegotiation, free-trade negotiations with China, and exploding demand for agricultural products worldwide, the stars could not be better aligned for Canada to compete – and win – in dairy, poultry and egg markets.

So in forthcoming talks with Mr. Trump, Canada should be willing to discuss supply management. We should come prepared with a transition plan that makes sense for producers and consumers. And we should be prepared to take our products to the world.

Mr. Trump thinks trade is a one-way street. He might find when it comes to this Canadian sacred cow, opening the farm gates might be the best thing he could have done for Canadian producers.

Certainly not Canadian trade negotiators, at a time when all trade irritants are on the table with the United States. The recent decision in the United States to levy countervailing duties on Canadian softwood, and the standoff over NAFTA, are just the latest opportunities for Mr. Trump to hammer Canada on trade. Negotiation is all about leverage, yet Canada’s stubbornness on protecting our milk and cheese industry will hobble our position when it comes to dealing with the United States on softwood lumber, border taxes, “Buy American” and, most importantly, looming NAFTA renegotiation.

Indeed, while we stand flat-footed on supply management, our competitors are taking advantage. U.S. dairy exports have continued to grow over the past decade and nearly doubled between 2008 and 2014 to $7.2-billion.

With about one-tenth our population, New Zealand managed to export $10.6billion in dairy products in 2012, beating numbers achieved by our major agricultural-related exports such as potash or canola seed and oil. What’s more, New Zealand is ahead of the pack in Asian markets, having entered into a China free-trade deal in 2008.

Canada can draw on international examples of how to design a transition

Trees provide many benefits

Neighbourly News

• Provide employment • Provide recreation and attract tourists • Provide a wind and snow barrier • Provide shelter for wildlife Spring is a great time to plant a tree. It just remains, what kind of tree. For those who remember elementary school science you can either plant a coniferous tree or a deciduous.

While I really like the coniferous trees, they take such a long, long time to grow plus the needles are sharp and pokey.

Deciduous trees give lots of shade. They do shed their leaves in the fall which can be a nuisance and a cause for extra work. However, when the leaves turn from green to yellow to red it is all worth it.

Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. Warren Buffett Plant a tree this year sometime whether it be in the spring or the fall.

It is worth it in the end.

The Majestic Theatre

and the carpet bowlers held a luncheon. Everyone enjoyed the fellowship and gathered together for pizza after the game.

The last game of the season resulted in the following winners: the first place team was June Hoppe, Pat Turner, Agnes Small, Mildred Henne and Judy Rickwood. In second place was Emily Liska, Gail Herzberg, Marie Roesch, Jean Tweddle and Doreen Phillips. See you again in the spring!

On April 26 we had our last day of shuffleboard for the season. The winners were our usual players: in first place was Mildred Henne, second place was Marie Roesch, and third place was Jean Tweddle.

On April 28 New Horizons hosted a “Spring Fling Card Party.� Our participants spent the afternoon playing Kaiser and Cribbage followed by lunch. We gave away cash prizes and other prizes that were generously donated by numer-

Our Cribbage winners were Jayne Labrecque in first place, Joanne Kral in second, and Pat Turner in third. Our Kaiser winners were Reg Turner in first place, Bill Fisher in second, Ray Suchan in third, and Gorgina Salewsky in fourth place.

Thanks to everyone that made the trek from Landis, Wilkie and Rosetown to come and compete and thank you all of our local players!

It was a great way to kick off spring!

3 tips for a bee-friendly flower garden

by News Canada We don’t all have a green thumb, but a beautiful flower garden doesn’t have to be difficult.

Planting a little patch of colour can be easy and rewarding, not just for us, but also for pollinators like honey bees. By following these tips, anyone can turn their outdoor space into an area that looks beautiful and helps feed hungry honey bees all summer long.

1.)Your garden is like a buffet for honey bees.

Plants reproduce through

pollination. This occurs when pollen is transferred from one flowering plant to another. Moving the pollen is where honey bees come in. They use nectar and pollen as food for their hives, but in their travels they can also spread the pollen. Make sure you plant honey bee-attractive flowering plants that will bloom in your garden at different times throughout the summer.

2.) Plant wherever you can. It doesn’t matter if you live in a house or

an apartment - whether it’s on your balcony, on a rooftop or in your backyard - a small patch of flowers can help feed honey bees in your community. Consider plants native to Canada like lance-leaved coreopsis, sneezeweed, New England asters, dense blazing stars and golden tickseed.

3.)Choose the right seeds. Researching the best plants for your area doesn’t have to be a long and cumbersome process.

Can you imagine going outside and not seeing any trees? No shade. No birds. No scenery. Not to mention the fact that trees contribute greatly to the air we breathe.

The last Friday in April is Arbor Day in the United States. In Canada we tend to celebrate the last week of September.

It is obvious the event was created to recognize the importance of trees in our lives. In 1992 a National Community Tree Foundations was funded by the Canadian Forest Service. Since then, it has become known as Tree Canada.

This organization has had a hand in numerous projects across the country. In 1993 a publication about carbon offsetting was released by Tree Canada. In 1997 a program called RedLeaf helped to replant trees that were lost from flooding in Saguenay, Quebec. And, another program provided aid to municipalities affected by the Ice Storm in 1998.

of a very familiar face!

All of us can understand not recalling the name of some “fly-by-night” acquaintance when they suddenly show up, but an old friend whom we have known for years?

An embarrassing example of this was when I met a fellow the other day: “Hello Bob!” sez a very familiar voice. “I haven’t seen you around for quite a while!”

Yours Truly hesitated for a few seconds: “Who is this guy?” he thought, for he knew it as the voice of a familiar old friend! Although he couldn’t seem to place that voice at all, he replied anyway: “Hello,” he stammered, “we kind of missed you around here too!”

A week later I met that same voice on the street.

“Hello Hank!” Y.T. greeted. “How are you keeping? I haven’t seen you all summer!”

Hank smiled: “ We met last week!” He laughed.

But I didn’t think you knew who it was behind my new beard! People started calling me ‘Hey You’, so I shaved it all off again, yesterday!”

Mebbe Y.T. isn’t all alone in the “I can’t place that face!” thing, for a lot of my friends still call me “Hey you!”

One of our boys worked at Cominco Potash Mine for years, and on an underground tour down there it was a real surprise to Y.T. when he finally realized that the familiar face and voice behind the hard-hat and safety glasses were those of his own son!

Your’s Truly doesn’t feel bad though about that dark night of January 29, 1945, when he asked a wounded fellow limping back: “Whatever happened to Malcolm Bain?” and the dark figure replied: “I’m Malcolm Bain, see you later, Bob!” It took a few years (about 10 I think!) before we did see him again, in the broad sunlight of a regimental reunion in Hamilton, Ontario!

Y.T. does feel a little bad about this one, when he met an old friend!

One of the neighbour boys was a little younger than I was, but darn it, much as I wanted to, Y.T. couldn’t remember his name!

The years hadn’t been good to him at all, and instead of the handsome,

neat young person Y.T. had known 50 years before, he was just a sad shadow of what one had expected!

Mebbe we are all like that underneath, eh? Mebbe that nice young fellow (whose name Y.T. couldn’t remember) was still in there somewhere. But the ravages of time had sure covered them Bob Mason up!

Mebbe he had enjoyed his life (I dunno!) but his appearance was that of a character Robert Service wrote about: “With a face most hair and the dreary stare of a dog, whose day is done.”

In every young person life, there has been someone (however distant!) that they remember.

This happened to Y.T. many years ago, while escorting one of our sons to a hockey school in Delisle.

Yours Truly was really surprised when a fine looking young mother (also escorting her son to the same school) smiled at him and said familiarly, “Hello Bob!” “Am I supposed to know you?” Y.T. stammered. After all, half of our lives had passed!

“Of course you are supposed to,” she smiled.

“I wrote you quite a few

Notable Notes

letters when you were overseas!”

Of course I remembered! But also I forgot!

Try as I might (and familiar as she was), I couldn’t remember her name!

The long, almost blonde hair that used to hang down to her shoulders, was now in some kind of a boyish bob. But darnit, I couldn’t think of her name at all!

“Hello,” I replied...

Don’t feel a bit bad about the self acclaimed “Great” Bob Mason, he can’t remember everyone’s name either! He is getting a little older now and has to have something to do - and trying to fill this space is partly it.

As he can no longer run the (ahem!) fifteen-minute mile (sorry, Roger!) and most of his best “bale pitching” days are over, doing something - anything - is a plus.

Even his pen gets heavier every year!

Actually a lot of this stuff is the fault of our school teacher who suggested that a lot of Y.T’s illegible handwriting might almost be readable if one did a few penmanship exercises, like dotting i’s, crossing t’s, making A’s look like A’s, and O’s look like O’s, et cetera. And Y.T. has been practicing ever since.

Though some of the Independent People tell me that I haven’t change much!

Blame her anyway!

Everyone knows that Y.T. is innocent of everything!

Biggar Lodge News

by Karen Kammer, Recreation Coordinator Wow, hard to believe how another week has quickly came and went.

Hopefully you make a chance to spend some time outside to get some fresh air and Vitamin D. Last week at Biggar Health Centre we started with Monday morning exercises. The residents enjoy kicking a big ball, then pass around a small yellow ball, then go stretches and finally hit balloons with pool noodles. The noodle hitting is sure good stress release. We also started to do some decorating for Mother’s Day as it coming faster than you think.

Tuesday morning was

current events. In the afternoon we had Beat the Dice. After this I had a young volunteer boy come in and he help build birdhouses with the residents. It was great to see the men’s face light up doing something that they might have loved in the past.

Wednesday was our belated April Birthday Party night. We celebrated six birthdays. Country II entertained us and the Landis CWL supplied us with delicious lunch.

It was a great time. Of course I was busy dancing with the residents.

Thursday was Bible Study, exercises and Bingo.

Friday morning was

PAL’s. The residents learn a bit and sing hymns during this activity. Then at 12 we had Barbecue Club down Prairie. Happy Hour was at 2:30. We had some fun party music going on and lots of visiting amongst each other.

Saturday was Card Lotto bingo. They watched the “happy Days” in the afternoon.

Sunday morning was 1-1 time. The PAL’s were here for church. There were some young children here and sang to the residents.

The residents love it and it was wonderful to see young people interacting with seniors.

Take care everyone and hope to see you soon.

Trump projectionist will damage Canadian farmers

by Calvin Daniels As a columnist on agriculture American president Donald Trump is a constant source of material.

That might be good in terms of coming up with topics for this space on a weekly basis, not always easy after writing this opinion piece weekly for more than a quarter of a century, but it has to be seen as disquieting for Canadian farmers.

Last week I touched on the uncertainty Trump has created with his projectionist posturing which includes a threat to the existing North American Free Trade Agreement.

That situation has certainly heated up more in the last week, or so.

It was reported Prime da and Mexico he would Minister not termiJustin nate the Trudeau NAFTA has urged treaty at Trump not this stage to withbut would draw from move to NAFTA in begin a call to renegotiatthe U.S. ing it. president.

ReneThe call gotiating was placed is only after slightly Trump had more come out palatable saying he than a is thinkwithdrawCalvin Daniels ing about al since pulling out such a farof NAFTA, something reaching deal reopened which really wasn’t will likely bog down in much of a surprise. a myriad of issues from The White House had environmental concerns, said earlier that Trump to labour conditions, told the leaders of Cana- and of course tariffs.

Agriculture

Tariffs are a major issue in terms of trade with the U.S., as seen again in the last week, as the Canadian dollar dropped a little following word the U.S. was going to impose a tariff of anywhere between three to 24 per cent on five Canadian softwood lumber exporters.

Trump apparently feels the Canadian industry is unfairly subsidized and that it’s hurting U.S. producers, which of course fits with his natural projectionist leanings.

Obviously any tariffs, or a more concerted move to break up NAFTA would cause economic damage to Canada, as we send 75 per cent of all exports to

the U.S. While NAFTA might be the most immediate Trump-related threat to trade, his posturing in terms of war with North Korea should be even more troubling.

Trump, who has now ordered missile attacks in Syria and Afghanistan, has been threatening attacks on North Korea, as they continue missile testing that the US president fears could lead to that country having the capability to strike the States with nuclear warheads.

The tension with North Korea has created a definite heightened concern from world leaders, as the situation could quickly escalate to include Russia and

China and the very real prospect of a world war.

As an example, Pope Francis has warned widespread war would destroy ‘a good part of humanity’ calling on someone to step forward to mediate a rationale solution.

By contrast Trump remains provocative at best recently answering a question in a television interview about whether military action was possible by saying: “I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see.”

Even increased tensions with that part of the world, with China in particular, is worrisome as that country is now a key trade market.

And so the trade situation clouds even more as Trump continues to bluster.

Town of Asquith Council News The Council of the Town of Asquith held its regular council meeting on Wednesday, April 12.

Attending were Deputy-Mayor Sue Sawicki, Councillors Jerome Rogan, Harold Edwards, Dylan Claypool, Jordan Claypool and Ted Goodnough. Also attending was C.A.O. Holly Cross and Foreman Darren Kraft.

A motion was made by Council to accept the March 8 Council meeting minutes as presented.

A resolution was passed to accept the treasurer’s statement of receipts and expenditures for March 2017 and the March 2017 bank reconciliations as presented.

Council accepted the accounts paid in the amount of $53,617.85 and the accounts payable in the amount of $34,081.78, as presented.

The Council received a letter from Canadian Heritage letting them know that a grant for $1,000 has been approved for a Canada Day Celebration. Council would like to hear from the community regarding what you would like to do to celebrate Canada Day 150.Would you like fireworks? Kids games?

Matthews top rookie? Itʼs not automatic Judging by the stats the two leading players put up, the voting for the 2016-17 Calder Trophy, given to the best rookie in the National Hockey League, should be razor thin between Auston Matthews of Toronto and Patrik Laine of Winnipeg.

If you’re a Torontonian, or who happens to live somewhere in the Golden Triangle of Ontario, you laugh at the notion that the vote will be close.

Matthews is a slamdunk winner in the minds of Eastern Canadians, based on his 40-goal season (the only rookie to hit that mark, and second-most in the entire league) and piloting the Leafs’ resurgence.

But should the Calder voting be a slam dunk?

Absolutely not, when the numbers are analyzed a little closer.

In fact, a solid case can be made that Laine, one year younger than his 19-year-old rival, had statistically a superior season to Matthews, but received nowhere near the national attention

because, duh, he doesn’t ply his trade in the Centre of the Universe, home to Matthews.

Matthews may have outscored Laine 40-36, but the big centre from Phoenix, Ariz., who was selected first overall in last summer’s draft, played in all 82 of the Leafs’ games, while the deadly-shooting Finn, Laine, missed nine games because of a concussion he suffered from an open-ice hit by Jake McCabe of the Sabres Jan. 7.

So put a check mark under Matthews’ name for durability but in about a dozen statistical categories - on a pergame basis - Laine has a decided edge. To wit: Points per game: Laine had .88; Matthews .84; Goals per game: Laine had .493; Matthews .487; Plus-minus: Laine plus 7; Matthews plus two; Multi-goal games: Laine 7; Matthews 6; Hits: Laine 80; Matthews 21. Hat tricks: Laine 3; Matthews 1. And perhaps most telling: Goals vs. the ‘other guy’:

Laine had five against teams agree to swap the Leafs; Matthews had their superstars in a zero against the Jets. one-for-one blockbuster?

Explore Canada’s hidden gems for its 150th

by News Canada With Canada’s 150th birthday festivities taking place throughout the year, there’s never been a better time to celebrate all our beautiful country has to offer. This is the perfect year to travel and explore new places from coast to coast. Whether you’re a nature lover who wants to visit the west coast or are looking to experience city life in Toronto or Montreal, check out these five hidden gems that will have you asking why you waited so long.

1.) Goose Spit Regional Park. Beaches. Bon fires. What’s not to love? Located in Comox, B.C., this park will force you to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and unwind. Open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., this is the perfect place to enjoy a beach fire with family and friends. The picturesque park also links to walking trails along Hawkins Road.

2.) Crescent Heights Stairs. Calgarians swear by this local treasure when they want to get their sweat on. The winding wooden stairs at McHugh Bluff Park get the heart pumping and lead to a gorgeous view of the city’s skyline.

3.) Gibraltar Point Lighthouse. Get your spook on at Centre Island in Toronto. Built in 1808, the lighthouse is the city’s oldest landmark and undoubtedly one of its most macabre.

Legend has it that its original keeper, John Paul Radelmüller, was thrown from the top of the lighthouse and murdered by soldiers from Fort York, and that his ghost still haunts the place.

4.) Sucrerie de la Montagne. Sweeten your senses at this authentic sugar shack in the midst of a 120-acre forest of maples atop Mont Rigaud, west of Montreal, Quebec. Offering sleigh and wagon

rides, Quebecois feasts, live music and maple treats, it is an official Quebec Heritage Site that welcomes visitors year-round.

5.) Purcell’s Cove Road. Halifax locals know that one of the perks of living there is the great outdoor space.

When visiting the city, be sure to take the scenic route along the cove.

You’ll find a small parking area, which makes for the perfect lookout spot. Cozy up on a rock and watch the sunset.

From Vancouver to Halifax and everywhere in between, Canada is full of scenic strolls, breathtaking bike rides and more.

Royal Bank hanging out in the museum

Volunteers from the Royal Bank helped hang the latest art show in the gallery in the Biggar Museum.

Why would you not use fresh ginger? however, that I suggest using fresh but in small quantities. One will notice that recipes will offer a fresher, more aromatic, ambience about them.

A classic example of this is gingerbread.

Many people, still to this day, will make gingerbread with powdered ginger. Using freshly grated ginger however, will bring your recipe to new heights by offering an abundance of character to the flavour of the cookies or cake form of this classic holiday treat.

Just practice “moderation” if the thought of the pungent taste in your recipe scares you.

Although the skin is edible, the easiest way to peel ginger is to simply scrape off the skin with the edge of a teaspoon, and then cut off the exposed root for further cutting as an ingredient. It is fibrous so it is almost always recommended to be chopped or grated, but it can be added in larger pieces to stir-fries or other dishes if desired, as the cooking process will help to diminish its toughness.

It can be stored in the whole form in the refrigerator for two to three weeks or kept frozen for many months.

Ginger is used in many applications. Not only can it be purchased fresh and in powdered form, but also preserved, candied, pickled, and crystallized.

It is also believed to have many medicinal properties and used to reduce fever, Chef Dez suppress appetite, stimulate digestion, and be effective for combating colds, coughs and motion sickness.

To make fresh ginger tea, boil one cup of water for few minutes with approximately one teaspoon (or more) of freshly chopped ginger and sweeten if desired. If you dislike the ginger particles floating in your tea, then place the chopped ginger in a metal tea ball or an empty disposable tea bag.

Dear Chef Dez: A lady ahead of me at a check-out bought a big bag of fresh ginger, because it was on sale. She told me when I enquired, that she just throws them in the freezer and takes some out when needed. Do you

Chef Dez on cooking

recommend this and will they lose their goodness or flavour from being frozen?

Barbara, B.C. Dear Barbara: Although fresh is always the best, it is possible to freeze fresh ginger for use later.

We freeze fresh ginger to ensure we always have it on-hand - the texture is not as good upon thawing but the flavour seems to be mostly intact and 10 times better than ever using powdered ginger. We store it in the freezer in two forms: whole in one bag, and cut into small chunks in another bag.

When we need grated ginger we take a whole piece out, grate what we need from it in the frozen state, and put it back in the freezer. When we want small pieces of ginger, in a stir-fry for example, we take out a small chunk and cut it as desired.

Again, fresh is always better, but it can be done.

A few weeks ago I went to the supermarket to pick up some fresh ginger root for a cooking class I was teaching.

I only needed a couple of tablespoons, so I broke off a small knob and proceeded to the cashier. She rang up my purchase and it came to a mere seventeen cents.

Usually I purchase ginger in much larger quantities, and along with my regular groceries, so I have never really thought about how little it actually costs. Immediately I wondered why anyone would not use fresh ginger.

The fibrous root of the ginger plant is what we know as ginger available in the produce section of our local grocery store.

This large knobby light skinned root is available is various sizes and shapes.

When choosing ginger, make sure that it is firm, smooth, and free of blemishes and/or mould.

Most people always have powdered ginger in their selection of spices and herbs, but fresh will provide a purer flavour.

The only application I find powdered ginger preferable in is creating a dry spice mix to use as a meat or seafood rub.

Due to the pungency or “hotness” of fresh ginger, many people are selective about eating it and opt to use powdered forms for less intensity, or use no ginger at all.

It is to these people

They were helping volunteers at the museum hang the latest art show, “Adjudicated Art Show 2017”.

Ten local artists are displaying a collection of their works, for the Adjudication to take place on May 27 at 1:30. Les Potter, local son and renowned sculptor, will be this year’s Adjudicator.

The lucky public get to view the whole collection from May 1 to May 27, as well as make their choice for People’s Choice! The artist with the most votes on one of their pieces, will win and be awarded the plaque generously donated by Mildred Fast each year.

After Potter’s adjudication, the winner of this show has an opportunity to enter a provincial competition which could lead to their art going on tour all around Saskatchewan!

The 411 on Mother’s Day flowers each has its own unique meaning.

Pink carnations, for example, are believed to symbolize a mother’s love.

Roses Few mothers can resist roses, making them one of the more popular flowers come Mother’s Day. Roses are symbolic of love and make the perfect floral gift for mothers who like

Mother’s Day is an annual holiday that honors motherhood and provides an opportunity for men, women and children to show their mothers how much they appreciate them.

The tradition of Mother’s Day in the United States dates back more than a century to 1908, when West Virginia native Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother, who had passed away three years earlier,

and all mothers in Grafton, West Virginia. Mother’s Day would ultimately become a national holiday in the United States in 1914, thanks in large part to Jarvis’ campaigning. As Jarvis, who never married and never had children of her own, grew old, she criticized Mother’s Day as overly commercial, even trying to have it removed from the calendar. Those efforts failed, and Mother’s Day

remains popular now, more than 100 years after the idea for it was conceived.

While Mother’s Day traditions have changed since Jarvis first proposed the holiday, many people feel it’s customary to give mothers gifts on Mother’s Day, when moms take the day off from chores and relax with their families. Flowers make for popular Mother’s Day gifts, and wellwishers who want to give the special

women in their lives flowers this year can consider a host of varieties.

Carnations Carnations are popular Mother’s Day flowers, perhaps because they are available in a number of colors.

That means it’s highly likely sons, daughters, husbands and others gifting moms this Mother’s Day can find some carnations in Mom’s favorite color.

Ask your florist about what each carnation color symbolizes, as

traditional flowers. If you want to spice things up, order a bouquet made up of roses of various colors.

Daffodils Yellow is synonymous with spring, and daffodils can highlight the season in which Mother’s Day takes place while also providing a cheerful look that’s perfect for Mother’s Day

floral bouquets.

Daffodils can be given on their own or added to mixed bouquets.

Daffodils also last quite a while when cared for correctly, giving moms more than just a few days to enjoy their bouquets.

Freesia Like daffodils, freesia are longlasting, meaning mothers will still

be enjoying them long after Mother’s Day has come and gone. The inviting fragrance of freesia makes bouquets of these flowers popular choices for Mother’s Day gifts.

Freesia also come in many colors, proving Mother’s Day gift givers a greater chance of finding flowers their mothers will love.

Tips to practice boating safety this summer

by News Canada Enjoy spending time by the water with loved ones this summer by following these tips to keep people and Canadian waterways safe.

• Take an accredited Canadian boating safety course.

• Keep your pleasure craft operator certificate with you at all times.

• Inspect your boat and all your equipment before departure.

• Always wear your lifejacket or personal flotation device while on board. It is important to put it on before boarding the vessel.

• Check the forecast for weather and water conditions before heading out and keep a watchful eye out for changing conditions.

• Study and carry your marine charts.

• Leave a trip/rescue plan with a responsible person.

• Do not drink and drive and do not cruise with alcohol onboard your boat.

• Never boat under the influence. It’s dangerous — and against the law — to operate a boat while impaired by drugs or alcohol.

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 2017

The St. James, Wilkie CWL celebrated their Patroness, Our Lady of Good Council, feast day on April 26 at St. James in Wilkie.

The evening started with Mass at 5 p.m. followed by supper, entertainment and service award presentations.

Service awards were presented to 11 members. 65 year pin to Lucie Rohs; 60 years to Genevieve Wangler; 45 years to Elizabeth Herle, Helen I. Miller, and Valerie Risling; 25 years to Mary Koch and Tish Ulrich; 15 years to Shirley Holzman; 10 years to Chelsea Risling, Rebecca Wagner,

and Courtney Nielsen.

As Father George said in his homily at mass that evening, God’s light shines through Mary, our patroness, and these women also have God’s light shining through them, through their service.

A wonderful supper was prepared by Second To None from Battleford, and entertainment was supplied by our local super talented girls with musical theatre and vocal selections. Bari Bertoia provided musical accompaniment for some of the presentations. The performers were Jayna

Wilkie Service Awards Presented Bottorff, Kenzie Wildeman, Amy Gruber, Jolene Gruber, Erin Squires, Kyra Huber, Rachel Cey, Susannah Ulrich and Sophia Ulrich. All these girls were winners at the Unity Music Festival and some are also going on to Provincials.

Door prizes from Georgine’s Greenhouse were won by lucky attendees, and a 2018 CWL Membership was won by Jeanette Gerein.

The clean up crew of four Christian Ethics students was efficient and much appreciated. We hope to see you all and more at next year’s celebration.
