Four days of fun at Goose Festival

BY JOAN JANZEN

Goose Festival ‘51 is coming to Kindersley this week from Thursday to Sunday, September 21st to 24th. Kevin Martin, Executive Director for the Kindersley Chamber of Commerce, has been busy keeping up-to-date on the events scheduled throughout the weekend.

Many popular activities will return to Goose Festival, some of which have become long-standing traditions. The parade is always the highlight of the weekend. “It’s looking good; so far, we have 44 floats lined up,” Kevin said. “The Rotary Club is helping out with security.”

Motorbike and car enthusiasts will be pleased to see both the Motorcycle Show & Shine and Saskatchewan Roadmen Car Club Show & Shine are scheduled for Saturday afternoon after the parade.

Other events have been running during the Goose Festival for the past year or two. Get Jacqued Fitness will be holding its third annual “Under the Lights” outdoor class at Berard Field on Friday evening and will be accepting donations to the Food Bank.

The Goose Festival Market was held last year, and this year, it will be held at a new location. The market will be at the Kindersley Seniors Centre, 115 - 3rd Ave. East on Friday afternoon until 7 p.m. The senior centre will be filled with vendors selling their wares.

Once again, InterPipeline will have a climbing wall set up beside Synergy Credit Union on Saturday for all the energetic children. And the Better Together barrel train is returning, as well as having a sandbox (filled with lentils or chickpeas) for the kids to enjoy.

For the adults, there will be bands entertaining on the stage next to Scotia Bank, as well as a jam session at Garden Gallery at 417 Main Street on Saturday evening.

There are a number of new activities on the Goose Festival roster this year.

“The fire department has an open house Thursday evening with live music, hall tours, fire simulation demonstration and barbecue.

“This is a time they can show off their new facility for anybody who didn’t make it to the grand opening,” Kevin

said.

“Dakota Buttar will be doing a fan meet and greet Saturday afternoon in front of Synergy Credit Union,” Kevin added.

Caleb Village will also be inviting visitors to tour their facility Friday afternoon and listen to music by Can Am Country from Saskatoon. Also, on Saturday afternoon, anyone who is interested in pickleball can watch a pickleball demonstration at the outdoor rink at the WCEC. There can never be too many activities for the kids, so the t-shirt drawing contest hosted by Prairie Cresting on Saturday afternoon at 511 Main Street is a welcome addition. This year, West Central Play-Mobile will be handing out Scarecrow Early Learning Bags in the Co-op Parking Lot. Check out the poster to see the complete line-up of food, fun and entertainment provided from Thursday to Sunday. “The mini donut truck will be setting up early Thursday to kick off the weekend,” Kevin said. “And the weather forecast is looking good.”

Q:

Whatever happened to Patricia Heaton? She had two very successful sitcoms, but I haven’t seen her in anything since. Is she retiring from acting? — L.A. The talented Patrica Heaton has been blessed to star in not only one but two hit sitcoms in her life. She played exhausted wives on both “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle” for nine seasons each and then starred in “Carol’s Second Act,” but it was canceled after just one season.

Now she’s bouncing back with another sitcom, which is yet to be named, with veteran comedy writers Carol Leifer (“Seinfeld”) and Andy Gordon (“Modern Family”). According to Deadline. com, Heaton will play “the host of an upscale lifestyle show sent to prison for embezzlement and tax evasion. She gets out after two years, forgotten and broke, and moves to Tennessee to live with her estranged sister.”

The show will be filmed in Nashville, where Heaton has a residence, and will air on Fox. The only thing stopping it is the potential of a writers strike if negotiations with the Writers Guild of America come to a halt when their contract is up for renewal in May. While there aren’t as many network sitcoms as there used to be, the few that have premiered in recent years have generated quite a loyal audience. “Abbott Elementary,” “Ghosts” and “Night Court” all have already been renewed for another season before their current one has been completed. *** I remember when Chrishell Stause was a soap opera actress, but now she’s on a reality show. Is she ever going to act again?

— N.S. Chrishell Stause, who hails from Kentucky, made her acting debut on the ABC soap “All My Children” back in 2005. She went on to play Jordan on “Days of Our Lives” and Bethany on “The Young and the Restless,” the latter soap in which she starred with her husband at the time, Justin Hartley. She supplemented her acting revenue by getting her real estate license and joined the Oppenheim Group, selling mansions in

Hollywood and being featured on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.”

Justin Hartley became a household name with the hit drama “This Is Us,” but he broke Stause’s heart when he left her for another former “Y&R” star, Sofia Pernas. Stause was chosen to compete on “Dancing With the Stars” and is five seasons into “Selling Sunset,” but she hasn’t given up acting — she recently starred in the Lifetime movie “A Rose for her Grave: The Randy Roth Story.” *** Is it true that “Titanic” is returning to theaters? Is it a remake? Who will play the leads?

— S.M. No remake is on the horizon, but the original “Titanic” has been remastered and made its way to theaters this February. James Cameron, director of the Oscar-nominated blockbuster “Avatar: The Way of Water,” has redelivered “Titanic” to the big screen for its 25th anniversary with stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The running time is 3 hours and 15 minutes, which was an anomaly back in 1997.

Maximizing Flavor and Savings With TVP: A Tasty Twist on Cottage Pie In an era of rising prices, exploring versatile, budget-friendly ingredients is crucial. Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is a versatile and cost-effective meat substitute made from dehydrated soy flour or soy protein concentrate. It’s used as a meat extender or substitute, making it a popular choice for frugal people looking to stretch their meat budget or those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. TVP is known for its high protein content and ability to absorb flavors, making it a suitable extender or replacement for ground meat in many recipes.

To rehydrate TVP, use a 1:1 ratio of TVP to liquid (by volume). This means for every 1 cup of dry TVP add 1 cup of liquid. The dry TVP expands into 2 cups of meat substitute and can be stored in the fridge for three to five days.

When using TVP, season it generously with flavorful liquids, herbs, spices and sauces along with ingredients like onions, garlic and vegetables to enhance its neutral flavor.

Today, let’s explore TVP with a classic favorite: Cottage Pie. This offers significant savings without skimping on the pleasures of a hearty meal.

Savory Half-and-Half Cottage Pie Yield: 6 generous servings Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes For the mashed potatoes:

(or on the stovetop) until simmering.

Add the TVP to rehydrate for 5 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, sauteing until tender and slightly caramelized. Stir in the tomato paste and continue cooking and stirring for 3 minutes, allowing it to meld with the caramelized onions and develop a deeper flavor.

Add the minced garlic and ground beef, and rehydrated TVP. Cook until the meat is browned and the TVP has absorbed the delicious flavors, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, peas and carrots, creamed corn and the remaining 1/2 cup broth, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer filling to the baking dish and spread it evenly. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling, creating an even layer. Top with cheese. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

While savoring this scrumptious Cottage Pie, remember that TVP offers benefits beyond versatility and low-cost.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) After much traveling this year, you’re due for some settled time with family and friends. Use this period to check out situations that will soon require a lot of serious decision-making.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep that keen Bovine mind focused on your financial situation as it begins to undergo some changes. Consider your money moves carefully. Avoid impulsive investments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll need to adjust some of your financial plans now that things are changing more quickly than you expected. All the facts you need haven’t yet emerged, so move cautiously.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal and professional relationships dominate this period. Try to keep things uncomplicated to avoid misunderstandings that can cause problems down the line.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) That elusive goal you’d been hoping to claim is still out of reach. But something else has come along that could prove to be just as desirable, if only you would take the time to check it out.

Remember when the ‘goose’ was part of Kindersley’s festival?

BY JOAN JANZEN nce again, it’s time for Kindersley’s annual Goose Festival, but so far, we haven’t seen any geese flying in their v-formation. This region is usually a popular flyway, so we’re accustomed to seeing hundreds of geese flying overhead at any given time and hearing their chorus of honking along the way.

To date, we’ve only spotted the occasional small v-shaped formation, and there haven’t been any honking sounds heard, which is how geese communicate. According to gogeesego.com, honking helps them take off in unison, navigate, stay together while flying, and conserve energy while in the air.

While flying, each bird uses distinct honking patterns to coordinate their movements. The lead goose sets the pace with a series of honks, signalling to the others when to change direction or adjust their speed. They also honk to coordinate shifts in position in the formation, helping to make it more aerodynamic. Honking helps the birds encourage one another to stay in position and maintain a streamlined formation.

O

They all honk in unison as a means of communication when preparing to land.

Goose hunting was very popular fifty years ago, so Kindersley dubbed their annual event a “Goose Festival.”

However, spotting a snow goose before the 1970s was a rarity. Kindersley resident Cliff Neufeld remembers being told that if you saw a white goose, you were not to shoot it.

In the 1970’s era, Kindersley’s Goose Festival hosted a variety of goose hunting-related activities. There were contests for the best-camouflaged pit, bird and animal calling contests, and prizes awarded for the largest goose, white goose and duck shot. The largest birds were mounted free of charge by a local taxidermist. There was also a gun display throughout the weekend.

An annual favourite activity was the duck plucking contest Friday morning, when a number of mayors and reeves would show off their feather plucking skills.

Breakfast was served in the Lions Hall early on Saturday morning when hungry diners feasted upon free goose

cakes and sausage. After breakfast, Kindersley’s famous goose proudly rested on a float in the Goose Festival parade.

An open trap shoot took place Sunday morning, 19 miles west on Highway No. 7 and seven miles north on Dewar Lake Road. Trophies were awarded to the winners.

Geese also attracted American hunters to Kindersley and area. Kindersley resident Glen Sitter recalled Dan Blocker (from the old television show Bonanza) coming to Kindersley on numerous hunting expeditions. His fellow actors, Lorne Green and Pernell Roberts, were also goose hunting in the Kindersley area.

Cliff Neufeld remembers American hunters who were willing to pay someone to dig big pits. Those hunters often came equipped with hundreds of decoys. When the hunting was done, ladies in the community were hired to clean the geese and use the feathers to make pillows and comforters. “It was a tough job,” he said.
