Bison part of regenerative farm plan

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Friendly Acres Seed Farm has long been noted as a source of oats in the region.

More recently the longtime seed growing operation south of Saltcoats has evolved; first to an interest in the potential of soybeans as a crop in the region, and most recently to rebuilding soil health through the concept of regenerative agriculture.

But through all the changes the farm has always been a grain farm.

So neighbours may be slowing their vehicles just a little to take a closer look as a herd of bison are now contentedly grazing a wellfenced pasture on the farm operated by Kevin Elmy.

The bison, 77-head which graze a pasture of 320-acres of long term pasture, are not Elmy’s, although for the next several months he is their herdsman.

The animals are in a sense rentals. Elmy is custom-grazing the animals, for Ridgemeadow Bison at Churchbridge.

Elmy said the animals in the small herd are yearling heifers.

“This is future breeding stock,” he explained, adding the owners look for additional pasture so as to rest their own pasture for their stock – which numbers about 800-head, so they seek out other producers with pasture.

For grazing the bison Elmy will be paid based on a fee for growing the heifers.

“I’m paid by the pound of gain,” he said.

They averaged 575

pounds upon arrival.

Elmy said his initial idea was to do some grazing as a way to diversify the farm, and to better utilize the forage crops he has been incorporating into his crop rotation to better the overall soil condition.

Of course his first thought was cattle.

Then in a conversation with Randy and Michael Weiss who operate Ridgemeadows they asked “would you consider bison?”

Elmy of course said yes, but he admitted the decision did mean some additional up-front costs for him.

“The costs were a bit more in infrastructure, on fences,” he said, noting where a two-strand fence is generally sufficient for cattle, he opted for a fivestrand on the perimetre

fence for the bison.

“This is safe, this is good,” he said, but adding the fencing costs were about $25,000.

However, it is an investment that will be functional for years, to the point he suggests they should last 25-years.

In terms of grazing Elmy said the bison “have done a really good job,” of consuming what is available in an area of pasture, then wandering to a new area. He suggested that is because they are still very much the same animal that roamed the Prairies a century, or so, ago.

“Bison are closer to their evolutionary roots,” he said. “We haven’t changed them as much (as we have cattle).”

So bison have bred naturally to graze year-round, not yet used to the idea

of a human bringing feed, although Elmy said he does feed screenings from his seed cleaning plant, and if required would haul in hay.

But, as it stands “they’re quite comfortable rooting through the snow looking for grass,” he said.

“They do a better job ... without a lot of day-to-day management.”

Elmy said he has enjoyed spending time in the pasture just watching the noble bison, but a big advantage of the species is they are rather selfsufficient creatures which means he can “spend less time on the farm” in winter months if he needs to.

While there hasn’t been a lot of snow so far this winter, Elmy said he isn’t too worried about how much snow falls, adding

he fully expects the bison to graze until April, and perhaps longer “if they have to.”

In addition to the long term pasture Elmy has a quarter section of seeded forage, triticale as a cover crop with perennial rye grasses that he can utilize as silage or pasture as required.

In the future he added, “I might put some grazing corn in there,” adding he did have a patch of corn, and “they cleaned it up well so I would increase my corn acres.”

It is important the bison have a ready supply of feed if he is to achieve a pound of gain per day per animal, the figures he is working with which make the enterprise a good one on the financial side of things.

It also keeps the bison

happy so “they want to be here,” meaning they are not eyeing things on the other side of the fence.

The pasture and forage land will become part of the overall crop rotation, over the years being taken out of bison production to grow crops.

That is where bison also play a role. It is important to get the unconsumed plant material back into the soil as part of regenerative farming.

“I’m getting good trampling,” said Elmy.

Although only a few months into what is something of a bison-grazing experiment, Elmy said it has worked out very well, adding when the current herd goes home, and new stock is brought, he could see 120 head roaming his fields.

Crokicurl rings now in action

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It is now possible to enjoy a new winter activity

in the city – crokicurl.

Yorkton Parks and Recreation has been at work installing crokicurl rings at two locations in

the city; Silver Heights Park and Heritage Heights Park.

The rules of the game are pretty straight forward. The game uses what

Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) The Government of Saskatchewan will be proclaiming The Insurance Act on January 1, 2020.

The new Act modernizes legislation, allowing Saskatchewan’s marketplace to deal with new and emerging issues in the rapidly changing insurance industry.

“These changes better reflect what is going on in the industry,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan said.

“We had extensive consultations with industry associations, insurers and agents and have developed legislation that is flexible and modern, and enhances consumer protection.”

The new Saskatchewan insurance legislation: • incorporates new licensing and supervision requirements; • introduces separate licensing categories for managing general agents and third party administrators; • expands the restricted insurance agents licensing regime to permit the sale of insurance together with the sale of certain products or services (e.g. car rental companies or insurance for portable electronic goods); • outlines market conduct standards, introduces new fair practice provisions, and identifies unfair practices in order to protect consumers;

• describes new complaint handling provisions, including a requirement to let consumers know about where they can take complaints and disputes such as to an ombudservice or the Superintendent; and • moves toward further harmonization with other

Canadian jurisdictions, primarily Alberta.

For more information about The Insurance Act visit https://fcaa.gov.sk.ca/ regulated-businesses-persons/businesses/insurance-companies/regulations-for-licensed-insurers.

Players slide milk jugs

filled with frozen water and try to get them into a small depression in the middle of the rings, or to knock an opponent’s jugs out of the rings.

The jugs are provided at both locations.

The idea for the combined game seems to have started in Winnipeg.

Mixing crokinole and curling just means a new fun activity.

Chili cook-off a new holiday fare in Yorkton

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was just the break many needed on the eve of Christmas eve, a hearty meal of chili.

Cooks with the three emergency services organizations in the city; RCMP, Yorkton Fire Department and EMS, held a chili cook-off competition Monday at the fire hall, and invited the public in for lunch.

“All the emergency services came together and wanted to do a community event to raise money for a cause,” said Yorkton Fire Chief Trevor Morrissey.

Morrissey said they thought Dec. 23, was a good day, as “people are looking for stuff to do,” just before the holidays officially get going.

The three groups each cooked up their best chili, but Morrissey said they wanted to know which was the best-of-the-best, so they had Yorkton Councillors Randy Goulden, Aaron Kienle, Quinn Haider and Darcy Zaharia taste-test samples and finally pick a winner.

And, the winner was the chili of the Yorkton Fire Department.

As for the public, the chili was free, although they did take donations which were going to the Yorkton Salvation Army’s

Christmas campaign.

Morrissey said the three services do plan to do more events in the future to foster more engagement with the community beyond interactions necessitated by their jobs.

Stockings for Seniors brings Christmas cheer

Christmas cheer was in abundance for a number of seniors with its stocking program.

forward: each senior citizen was given a list, and asked to put just one wish on what could be put into the stocking.

Gifts for the stockings, as well as the stockings themselves, were donated by the community.

“Some were funny, some were harrowing,” said Shelly D. Ross, one of the organizers.

“One of the ones we got asked for the Guns ‘N Roses 2013 tour.”

Initially, the program was hoping for closer to 200 stockings but ended up with more than they expected.

“We wound up with 277 stockings,” said Ross.

Santa, of course,

made a trademark appearance to deliver the loot personally.

If you would like to make a difference and want to donate your time, stocking or stocking stuffers, please call Shelly Ross at (306) 641-4222. Extra help is always welcome.

Many seniors do not have friends or family to turn to and go through the holidays without companionship or social contact. Nobody should have to face the holidays alone.

Asessippi Ski Club action under way

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The first few weekends at the ski hill with the kids have been a blast for the Asessippi Ski Club.

“This year we have just shy of 20 young athletes skiing with us,” said Rochelle Bonk, Asessippi Ski Club Assistant Coach. “We have kids from ages seven to 15 from Russell, Roblin, Winnipeg, Yorkton, Regina, Rocanville and other surrounding areas.”

Bonk said the focus of the club is to create better skiers.

“Our main goal as a group is to create confident and well-rounded skiers,” she said.

“We started out the season by brushing up on the basic fundamental motions of ski racing. Our kids picked right up where we left off last season and are ready to face new challenges and continue to build skills.”

The club also competes.

“We have our first race at the end of January in Bottineau, North Dakota,” said Bonk. “The annual race in Bottineau is the perfect opportunity for some club wide bonding and ‘Cook Your Own Steak’ at the Turtle Mountain Inn. The kids love the pizza and barrels of peanuts.”

So the club is preparing for the race

A7

event.

“We took the opportunity to get our kids into full gates last weekend and they stepped up to the challenge,” said Bonk.

The club is also about learning.

“This past weekend we were hosting a mini Christmas camp for the kids to improve their skills and have fun before the Christmas break,” said Bonk.

“Our kids braved through the fog to enjoy the mild weather.”

What do the kids think of the ski club?

“Awesome,” offered Laurel Kingdon (age 8).

“Never give up never surrender,” offered Reiken Schoeman (age 12).

Bonk also noted parents love coming out to watch the training and volunteer on race days.

“It is the perfect opportunity to get the whole family outside and active all winter long,” she said.

Everyone was looking forward to the holiday break to spend time with family but Bonk said they will see everyone again on the January 4-5th weekend.

“We’re always excited to welcome new kids and encourage parents to bring their children out to hang with us for a day and see how they like it,” she said.

Q: Is there really going to be another “Matrix” movie? Will Keanu Reeves be in it, or will there be all new characters? — R.F.

May your coming year be filled with joy, good health and prosperity.

Happy New Year and Thank you for your continued support.

Q: I loved watching “Supernanny” and was sad — but happy for her — when she left to focus on her own family. Did she ever end up having children like she had hoped?

— E.P. A: Jo Frost, the “Supernanny,” made her debut on ABC 15 years ago but quit after several seasons in order to focus on her personal life, including, hopefully, having children of her own. Now, she’s back with a new “Supernanny” series premiering Jan. 1 at 10 p.m.

ET on Lifetime.

According to Lifetime, “The families featured this season are from cities and towns around the country, and they are dealing with diverse issues that span the spectrum of parenting challenges from postpartum depression, ADHD, kids obsessed with electronic devices, blended families strug-

Jo Frost gling with children acting out and military and first responder spouses facing separations, to parents buried in their phones and more.

“Jo will visit one new family each week and use her trusted and proven methods and elevated teachings to help them change their dynamics while focusing on positive reinforcement and connectivity.”

As for her personal life, I couldn’t find any confirmation that she married her fiance, Darrin Jackson, who was the production manager of her original series, or that she has had any children.

З Різдвом Христовим!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than 15 years since the last “Matrix” film. Reeves was very fortunate to land this franchise.

Apparently Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp were first sought after for the lead by the producers and directors. Janet Jackson also was pursued for the role of Trinity, but it went to Carrie-Ann Moss, a rela-

tive unknown, when Jackson wasn’t able to work it into her schedule.

Q: Is Bill Cosby in prison, or is he out on bail?

How is his health? — T.L. A: The disgraced comedian has been serving a three- to 10-year sentence in a Pennsylvania state prison since September 2018. He was recently denied an appeal to overturn his conviction.

Cosby was convicted in 2018 on three counts of aggravated indecent assault against his accuser, Andrea Constand. At the time of his trial, he professed to be totally blind, but many people were skeptical and felt he was looking for pity from the jury. He is living in the general population of the prison and is reportedly quite popular, giving motivational speeches to inmates and working out regularly, losing weight.

• It was Nobel Prizewinning French poet, journalist and novelist Anatole France who gave the following sage advice: “Never lend books — nobody ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are those which people have lent me.”

• One-quarter of the city of Los Angeles is taken up by automobiles.

• Ancient Egyptian priests were bald. And not just on their heads — they would pluck every hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes.

• In many parts of Spain, Dec. 28 is traditionally observed as the Feast of the Holy Innocents. To celebrate, the young boys of a town gather together and light bonfires. One of them is designated as the mayor for the evening, and he goes about ordering citizens to do tasks such as sweeping the streets.

Anyone who refuses is fined.

• The deluge of mail

around the holidays has been an issue longer than you probably realize. In 1822, the postmaster of Washington, D.C., was disgruntled by the surge and complained about having to hire 16 extra mail carriers. He wanted a law to be passed limiting the number of cards a person could send.

• Have trouble remembering all the words to our national anthem? Be glad you’re not Greek — their national anthem has 158 verses.

• If all the blood vessels in one human body were stretched out end to end, they would stretch all the way around the world.

• The rivalry between those Ivy League giants, Harvard and Yale, is legendary. Not many people know, however, that Yale was founded by graduates of Harvard.

Thought for the Day: “He who wants to grow rich in a year will be dead in a month.” — Spanish proverb

A: Yes, there will be another sequel, “Matrix 4,” but it won’t be released until 2022. The cast will again include Keanu Reeves as Neo, CarrieAnn Moss as Trinity and, reportedly, Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe.

New to the cast will be Jonathan Groff, best known as Holden Ford from the Netflix series “Mindhunter” and for voicing the character of Kristoff in the Disney “Frozen” movies.

Dashing through the snow It was a taste of an old-fashioned ‘Country Christmas’ at the Prairie Harvest Christian Life Centre Dec. 22. The event was one that was supposed be just a little extra special, one to warm your heart with a country-style Christmas gathering. The day was complete with sleigh rides, supplied by Twylla Newton

and her Clydesdale horses, while inside there was hot chocolate, apple cider, Christmas cookies, live music, kids activities, an inspiring message and more.

Sleigh rides and family photos were held from 10 to 10:50 a.m. and from 12 to 1 p.m. following the regular service.

$0/(3"56-"5*0/4 PARMESAN PITA CRISPS These crispy homemade pita chips are perfect for dipping, but they are also flavorful enough to hold their own on the snack table. •3 tablespoons olive oil •3/4 teaspoon ground cumin •1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper •5 whole (5 to 6 inch) whole-wheat or white pitas with pockets •1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese •Salt (optional) Heat oven to 350 F.

Store crisps in tightly covered container or large selfsealing plastic bag up to 1 week. Makes 80 crisps.

• Each crisp: About 20 calories, 1g total fat, 30mg sodium, 2g total carbohydrate, 1g protein.

“Downton Abbey” (PG) — When news that the king and queen of England are coming to Downton Abbey breaks, the Crawleys and staff embark on an exhaustive list of preparations for the royal visit. But the royals show up with their own staff — cook, butlers, housekeepers, the lot — and Mr. and Mrs. Bates team with Mrs. Patmore, Mrs. Hughes and even Mr. Carson to take back the house from the arrogant interlopers.

Meantime, there’s plenty of intrigue upstairs involv-

Planning a party with friends and family on New Year’s Eve? This year, make it easy by turning your buffet table into an informal appetizer table.

Let guests bring their favorite hors d’oeuvres, and you’ll no doubt have a selection of tastes and delights for every age.

Somehow it just happens.

That’s what our friends did when we gathered in their home located walking distance from the Santa Cruz, California, harbor to see the city’s annual “Lighted Boat Parade.”

An annual party tradition, we arrived before dusk to enjoy the sumptuous selection of appetizers everyone brought. We had so much fun meeting,

Brad Pitt in “Ad Astra”. ing a longstanding disagreement between the dowager countess Violet and a Crawley relative; Tom Branson, who is possibly suspected of still having Irish sympathies;

and more of all the much beloved characters.

“Abominable” (PG) — In a lovely but predictable animated story about found family, an impressively oddball girl named

eating and greeting, we almost forgot to wander down to the harbor to see the spectacle of lights.

Making apps doesn’t have to be involved or complicated. Here are two easy ideas you and your kids can make together for your New Year’s celebration.

the walnut-filled date in powdered sugar. Use your imagination and preferences for other fillings, such as a thin wedge of Brie cheese with a pecan.

Or, how about a tiny spoonful of peanut butter topped with a pretzel nugget?

Build Your Own LettuceWrap App On a large tray, arrange a variety of ingredients in small bowls and plates for guests to make their own lettuce wrap. For example, if you wish to make my favorite, a Scandinavianstyle salmon wrap, set out the following: a bundle of butter lettuce leaves popping out of a wide-mouth container, smoked and grilled salmon pieces, thinly sliced cucumber, scrambled eggs in a bowl (optional), small sprigs of fresh dill and wedges of lemon to squeeze over all of it before you take a bite.

Festive Filled Dates Dates are nutritious, tasty and bite-size. Make them festive by filling them with fresh walnuts to complement the date’s unique flavor. First, cut open one long side of each date. Pop out the pits and gently squeeze the sides to create a space for your filling. Next, crack walnuts with a nutcracker to get two perfect halves. Kids love this activity! Pick out the nuts, then insert one of the halves in the cavity of a date. Set in rows on a platter. For a sweeter dessert version, roll

A11

Yi (voiced by Chloe Bennet) lives in Shanghai and one day finds, to her surprise, a Yeti on the roof of her apartment building. And because she’s an impressive oddball, she and her pals befriend the adorably fluffy giant they nickname Everest, and vow to escort the magical beast to the highest mountain from whence he came. But they need to do it post haste, as the villainous Burnish (Eddie Izzard) is hot on the trail to collect Everest as a personal prize.

“Ad Astra” (PG-13) — Brad Pitt is at the center of this very cerebral film as astronaut Roy McBride, whose father (Tommy Lee Jones) was a pioneering space traveler who has been missing in the far reaches of our solar sys-

tem for 16 years. McBride’s mission, among other things, is to reestablish contact, if able. It is a nearfuture world where space exploration and travel are much more accessible and ordinary, but still — at least for the outer planets — a treacherous proposition, evoking much deep internal struggles and selfquestioning. The movie is beautiful but very slow in unfolding.

“Rambo: Last Blood” (R) — In a final (probably, hopefully) wrap-up to the “First Blood” story, we find John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) on his late father’s horse ranch, quietly enjoying his sunset years with adopted family Maria and her daughter, Gabriella (Yvette Monreal).

But the type of demons in

the former Green Beret can never be truly exorcised — and thank god, because when Gabriella is kidnapped in Mexico while trying to locate her birth father, it’s “Uncle John” who resurrects his special forces background to swoop in with some serious vengeance. There’s no nuanced storylines or plot twists; it’s flamethrower vengeance with a ton of blood, which is exactly as advertised. *** NEW TV RELEASES “Fuller House” Complete Fourth Season “Killjoys” Season 5 “Hogan’s Heroes” The Complete Series “The Returned” Season 2 “Bonanza: The Official Tenth Season Vol. 1”

New Year’s Eve Family Party Tip: Let the youngest New Year’s Eve revelers enjoy the fun of seeing in the new year without messing too much with their sleep schedule. Set a clock in your house ahead one or two hours, and let

them count down the seconds until their arrival of 2020. It’s midnight somewhere, right?

Vegetarian-friendly foods high in protein People choose a vegetarian lifestyle for a number of reasons. Some individuals have an aversion to eating meat because they’re concerned about animal welfare, while others find that a low-calorie, vegetarian diet promotes long-term health.

Vegetarianism can certainly be a healthy option, but those who eschew meat and sometimes eggs often have to find alternative sources of protein to meet dietary needs. According to the Dietary Reference Intakes, the average sedentary man should have 56 grams of protein per day, while an average sedentary woman should consume 46 grams per day. The amount of protein needed will increase Career Training

if a person is more active, advises Healthline.

Protein helps a person feel fuller, longer, and it is crucial for all cells in the body. Protein is used to build and maintain bones, muscles, skin, and much more. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics also states that protein is very important as one ages because aging men and women don’t absorb or metabolize amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, as well as they did when they were younger.

Those adhering to vegetarian diets will find there are plenty of non-meat protein sources. Meatless protein sources that offer the biggest health bang for one’s buck are “complete proteins,” which have the essential amino acids the body requires. Some complete proteins include: • eggs, • milk, • cheese, • soy, and • quinoa.

Some other great protein sources may not have

in protein than common grains.

• hemp seeds: These seeds come from hemp, which is in the same family as marijuana. However, hemp will not cause a high because it only has trace amounts of the THC compound that produces that effect. Hemp seeds contain 50 percent more protein than chia seeds and flax seeds, offers Healthline.

In addition to these foods, peanuts and other legumes, almonds, peas, oatmeal, spirulina, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and sweet corn also are good protein sources for vegetarians. all of the amino acids, but they can be paired with other foods to get a fuller nutrient package.

• seitan: This is a meat alternative made from wheat gluten.

• lentils: Lentils pack 18 grams of protein per cooked cup.

• beans: Many forms of beans contain a high

amount of protein per serving.

• nutritional yeast: This is a strain of yeast that has a cheesy flavor. It can be sprinkled on foods to add a protein punch.

• ancient grains: Ancient grains include spelt, teff, barley, sorghum, farro, and einkorn. These ancient grains are higher

Even though it may seem like skipping meat products would leave vegetarians lacking for protein, there really are quite a number of alternative protein sources out there. TF19A353 CAPTION: Vegetarians have several non-meat choices to get their recommended protein allowances.

Reset your healthier side with powerful food pairings (NC) — Whether you’re a foodie or not, you’re probably familiar with the culinary concept of pairing certain foods and drinks, such as milk and cookies, or tomato soup and grilled cheese. But did you know there is more to food pairings than just flavour?

The way we combine foods can also have additional health benefits for our bodies, too. According to Sue Mah, a registered dietitian, certain staple foods can be paired to maximize their health benefits.

“Smart combinations can make the food more nutritious or help our bodies better absorb the nutrients from the food,” she

explains.

Here are some foods that are better together: Peanut butter sandwich and orange juice. A peanut butter sandwich on its own is great for protein, healthy fats and iron, but the type of iron found in peanut butter is not easily absorbed in our body.

Vitamin C can help. When paired with a peanut butter sandwich, the vitamin C in Florida OJ helps our bodies better absorb iron from peanut butter and other plant-based foods like beans, lentils, tofu, leafy green veggies and grains. Florida orange juice is loaded with vitamin C, with every 250-milillitre glass providing

more than 100 per cent of the recommended daily intake.

Beans and rice. This is a staple and nutritious meal around the world.

Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. Beans contain the amino acids that rice is missing, and rice contains the amino acids that beans are missing.

So, when paired together, beans and rice make up a complete protein that helps build muscle.

Salmon and edamame beans. This is a superstar meal that can provide a nutrient boost. Salmon is one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D. Edamame beans contain

calcium. When enjoyed together, the vitamin D from salmon increases calcium absorption from the edamame beans. As a bonus, the omega-3 fats in salmon keep your brain and heart healthy.

Tomatoes and olive oil. Those juicy red tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which is a type of antioxidant possibly linked to a lower chance of heart disease and prostate cancer. Research shows that lycopene is better absorbed in our bodies when tomatoes are eaten with a healthy fat such as olive oil. Consider pairing tomatoes with flavourful olive oil on pizza or in a homemade pasta sauce.

January 3, 2020 | This Week Marketplace

It’s that time of year when we think about changes we want to make in our lives. For many people, those resolutions include a vow to eat healthy, exercise and/or lose weight.

Before you start thinking about how to make your change and assure it happens, you have to figure out what changes you want to make. Be realistic.

People who set a specific goal (I will walk 30 minutes most days) have a much better chance at being successful than people who set a more general goal (I’m going to get in shape).

People who make one or two changes at a time also are more likely to be successful than those who try to change everything all at once.

Here are some suggestions for habits that can make a positive impact on your health: • Eat breakfast.

• Drink three cups of low-fat or fat-free milk every day.

• Decrease sodium to no more than 2,400 milligrams per day.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The New Year brings challenges that can change many things in your life. You need to be prepared not only to confront them, but also to deal with what happens afterward.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have what it takes to set your goals quite a bit higher this year.

Learn what you need to know and put what you learn into your efforts. A partner offers loving support.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In true Gemini Twin fashion, you’re conflicted about a decision you know you’ll have to make in this New Year. Best advice: Get the facts before you make any commitment.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A friend offers you an exciting opportunity for this New Year. Although your positive aspects are strong in most respects, caution is advised.

Investigate before you invest.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You can make this New Year a roaring success.

Start by readjusting your goals to reflect the changes in the economy. Your den mate offers both wise and loving support.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The New Year brings new opportunities for change. But you need to be ready to move from the comfortable status quo to the challenging unknown. It’s up to you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your most important New Year’s

• Decrease fat to no more than 30% of your total calories (around 67 milligrams).

• Drink 6-8 cups of water per day.

• Eliminate or decrease soda.

New Year’s resolutions can be beneficial because the name itself sets a date for you to make a change.

It’s good to have a date in mind for changing a habit because that commitment helps you follow through.

It takes at least 21 days to change a habit. Some things that will help you stay on target with making positive changes include writing down your goal and listing reasons why you want to meet that goal.

Encouragement from others also helps us to reach our goals. Tell relatives and close friends about your goals so they can offer encouragement.

It may take as little as 21 days to establish a new habit, but it can take much

resolution should be to work out problems with a family member in order to avoid continuing misunderstandings. Do it soon, for both of your sakes.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The New Year has much to offer the intensely determined Scorpian, who isn’t afraid to take on challenges and stay with them until they surrender their rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’ll have many fine opportunities in this New Year. But be warned: Reject offers of “help.”

You work best when you’re free to be your own creative self.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22 to January 19) The New Year offers changes that you might feel you’re not quite ready for. Best advice: Deal with them one step at a time, until you’ve built up your self-confidence.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Travel is a dominant aspect of the New Year. This could mean relocating to another city (or even another country) in connection with your education or your career.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This New Year brings news about a change you’ve been anticipating. You might have a problem persuading a loved one about your new plans, but he or she will soon go along with them.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people feel safe and protected. You would make an excellent youth counselor.

longer to assure that you will sustain it. Prepare yourself now for that time in late January or midFebruary when your motivation wanes. When that happens, have a reward in mind for establishing your goal. Knowing there is a reward in sight can get you through rough times.

Think about how it will be when you establish your goal. If it’s walking 30 minutes per day, think about how much more energy

you’ll have and how much better you’ll feel consistently because you have been active.

There are very few people who can say making these types of changes is easy. One very important thing to remember is that if the day comes when you have been unable to sustain your new habit, don’t count it as a failure. Just know some days are better than others and vow to re-establish your desired habit.

If you’ve resolved to eat healthier, starting with breakfast, try this recipe for breakfast muffins, and have a happy and healthy 2020!

QUICK AND EASY EGG MUFFINS •1 tablespoon olive oil •1/4 cup onion, finely diced •2 cups fresh spinach •2 tablespoons poultry seasoning •1 teaspoon salt •1 teaspoon black pep-

per •1 garlic clove, minced •6 eggs •1 tablespoon mild or medium salsa •3/4 cup reduced fat cheddar or pepper jack cheese (or a combination of both), shredded •3 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped Heat oven to 350 F. In a saute pan, heat olive oil. Add onion and cook for about 2 minutes. Add spinach, 1 tablespoon of the poultry seasoning, and the salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, about 2-3 more minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining poultry seasoning, salsa and cheese. Add the spinach mixture and the bacon, and stir until wellcombined.

Either use a silicone muffin pan or spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.

Evenly distribute the egg mixture about 3/4 of the way in each muffin cup. If using a 12-cup muffin tin, fill the empty areas about 1/4 of the way with water.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the muffins have turned a light golden brown around the edges.

Store leftover muffins in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To reheat, place in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

Makes 6 muffins.

HOLLYWOOD — Where are the great films like “Gone with the Wind,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Citizen Kane,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Bridge on the River Kwai” and “My Fair Lady,” to name six? IMAX and 3D superhero films can’t compare with strong story content and great acting.

Elizabeth Banks wrote/ produced/directed and co-starred in the recent “Charlie’s Angels,” which cost $55 million and earned just $51.5 million.

Elizabeth Banks Yet Universal Pictures has hired her to star and direct the remake of “The Invisible Man,” now “The Invisible Woman.”

John Cena, a nice guy

who does a lot of good for children, is still a wrestler turned actor whose first major film, “Playing With Fire,” cost $30 million and grossed only $45.6 million. Yet his producer has signed him to star in “Vacation Friends,” with “Search Party’s” Meredith Hagner. Cena has already completed roles in “Fast & Furious 9” (opening May 22), “Project X-Traction,” produced by and costarring Jackie Chan, for release in 2020, and “The Suicide Squad” (due August 2021). Where are the Gables, the Garlands, the Monroes or even the Streisands?

Not to depress you further, but a “Downton Abbey Movie” sequel isn’t likely in the new year. Julian Fellows, “Downton’s” creator/producer/writer, is working on HBO’s “The Gilded Age” and complains, “It’s taking most of my time. We don’t start shooting until March, which may delay me thinking further about the ‘Downton Abbey’ endeavor. I’d like to think you have two shifts, a day shift where TV work can happen, and a night shift for the writing on the ‘Downton’ script.” He’s only too aware that when you work on a big project

at HBO there are going to be rewrites, day and night, which leaves no time for “Downton” now.

On a positive note, Fellows said of “Downton Abbey,” “Fortunately it’s worked out well, it grossed $185 million. We all enjoyed it, so hopefully we’ll find a way to come back for more.”

Sylvester Stallone left Rambo in limbo with an $87 million gross against a $50 million cost. He may have a new franchise with “Samaritan,” about a young boy out to discover if a mystic superhero who vanished after an incident 20 years earlier is

still alive. It’s set to open December 2020.

Edward Norton, nominated for Oscars as best supporting actor (“Primal Fear” and “Birdman,” and as best actor (for “American History X”) has realized his lifelong dream to direct and star in the film of his favorite book.

“Motherless Brooklyn,” with Bruce Willis, Bobby Cannavale, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe, missed the mark ($26 million cost and $11.6 million gross).

Still, for him and all of us, 2020 offers new opportunities and joys to make our lives more meaningful...

Happy New Year!

Peanut butter and chocolate: a pairing for the ages Few dessert pairings are as beloved as chocolate and peanut butter. These are strong flavors that are coveted on their own, and especially so when eaten together. When packed in a decadent terrine, peanut butter and chocolate take indulgence to new heights.

ture in 4 equal additions.

Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Cover with the plastic wrap overhanging the sides and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.

To unmold the terrine, fold back the plastic wrap and invert the pan onto a wire rack. Pull on a corner of the plastic wrap to release the terrine from the pan. Lift off the pan and carefully remove the plastic wrap. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rack on it. Return the terrine to the refrigerator while you make the glaze.

Whether hosting a gathering at home or preparing a dessert for family, this recipe for “ChocolatePeanut Butter Terrine with Sugared Peanuts” from “Classic Stars Desserts” (Chronicle Books) by Emily Luchetti is sure to please. For best results, use chocolate with 58 to 62 percent cacao, rather than a chocolate of higher percentage.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every year, I make a resolution to care for my pets.

At one time I had two dogs, Sadie and Shadow, a cat named Harley and a sassy budgie named Petey. They’ve each passed on as the years went by, and finally in September, Harley crossed the rainbow bridge, the last of my pets to go. It’s been a sad time, but I am looking forward to the new year nonetheless.

I don’t plan to go out and get a new pet, not just yet. But I am going to make life better for other animals as best I can. To that end, my resolutions include: Spending one afternoon a week volunteering at the local animal shelter; donating money

to organizations that help rehabilitate injured wildlife; and taking care of friends’ pets when they need help.

These may be pretty simple resolutions compared with others’, but it’s the best I can do right now.

I hope you like my story! — Jane V., Dothan, Alabama DEAR JANE: I think your resolutions are fantastic, and they will keep you busier than you think.

Giving our time and energy to care for other beings can bring us some amazing rewards. It’s also a wonderful way to celebrate the lives of your beloved pets, and can help as you move through your grief at their loss.

I hope my readers feel the same way, and that as the year closes, they are resolving to make the lives of animals better in some small way during the coming year. Here’s wishing a happy New Year to all of my readers!

Combine the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment and whip on high speed until thick, about 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate mixture in 3 equal additions. The mixture will be quite thick.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to thicken. Using a spatula, fold the cream into the chocolate mix-

To make the glaze, in a stainless-steel bowl, combine the chocolate, butter and corn syrup. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, and heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt. Remove from over the heat and whisk until smooth. The glaze should be pourable but not so thin that it will run off the terrine. If the glaze is too thin, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Slowly pour the glaze evenly over the top of the terrine, allowing it to stream evenly down the sides. With an offset spatula, spread the glaze to cover the terrine smoothly and completely.

Refrigerate until the glaze is set, about 30 minutes.

To make the sugared peanuts, preheat the oven to 350 F. In a bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.

Whisk in the sugar. Add the peanuts and mix until they are evenly coated with the mixture. Spread the peanuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and

place in the oven. Toast the nuts, stirring them every 5 minutes, until dry and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

To serve, transfer the terrine to a serving platter and arrange the sugared peanuts on top. Cut the terrine with a hot, dry knife.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Several years ago, I attended a presentation about insomnia. A registered nurse discussed how, in her career as a nursing home nurse, she had many residents with insomnia. She stated that she had amazing success with these residents. The snack they gave them was crackers and cheese or peanut butter crackers. I was skeptical at first, then one night at 2 a.m., on my fourth night of insomnia,

Sally confided to Steffy that she couldn’t lose the fashion showdown to Thomas and Hope. Thomas made an inappropriate gesture.

I tried eating 2 teaspoons of peanut butter. Bingo! I slept. Whenever my insomnia occurs, I eat 2 teaspoons of peanut butter, and in less than 15 minutes I’m sleeping. I use a nothing-fancy store brand of peanut butter. Please pass this information on to other readers with an explanation. — B.J.T. ANSWER: I appreciate your writing to give another option for this common problem. One reason that some people think this may work is that the protein content in peanut butter is a source of tryptophan, which increases serotonin levels to help one relax.

I also have read that this effect is so small as to be clinically meaningless, and that any sleep effect is due to placebo. I suspect the truth is a combination.

Two tablespoons of peanut butter is almost 200 calories, so this is not a good choice for someone struggling with too much weight. I’m also not one for “fancy,” but be sure to choose a peanut butter with no trans fats and no added sugars.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently recovered from sigmoid colectomy surgery, and I would hate to repeat this, given that I am 75 years old. What are the possibilities of recurrence of diverticulitis for which the surgery was performed? It’s nothing I’d care to undergo again if it can be avoided! — C.K. ANSWER: Surgery for diverticulitis is generally reserved for people with multiple recurrences. The sigmoid colon tends to be the portion of the colon

with the most diverticula (small pouches in the wall of the colon that may get inflamed or bleed).

Surgery usually is curative, with only 15% of people developing new diverticula and only 2% to 11% needing further surgery.

It’s not proven, but most authorities believe that reducing pressure in the colon with a high-fiber diet reduces risk of developing diverticula, either recurrent after surgery or in the first place.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have heard of people whose hair turned white overnight due to some traumatic event. Is there any truth to that? — H.M. ANSWER: The sudden change of hair color is called canities subita.

There was a review of literature published in 2013

with 44 well-documented cases of sudden color change, 21 of which were associated with an episode of emotional stress.

Think Sir Thomas More or Marie Antoinette before their respective executions. However, while true, rapid, color change is certainly documented, it is exceedingly rare.

What probably is more common is the sudden loss of pigmented hair in someone who already has some gray hair. Sudden loss of pigmented hair, in a condition called alopecia areata diffusa, can lead to an apparent color change. Hair lost during chemotherapy or radiation sometimes can come back with a different color or texture.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer

At Society, Chance let Adam know that he was staying in Genoa City, but Adam just wanted to forget about their days in Vegas. Phyllis warned Chance that Adam would stab him in the back.
