Recrea�on Report for <strong>November</strong> 2012<br />
Winter is in full swing and whether you like to spend your winter months indoors or outdoors, there is a winter<br />
activity for you.<br />
<strong>Teslin</strong> Minor Hockey held their AGM this month, and registration for the 2012/2013 hockey season is now<br />
underway. <strong>Teslin</strong> Minor Hockey is scheduled to use the ice four evenings a week, which will change public skate<br />
times. Hockey will take a break over the Christmas holidays, so more public skates will be happening then. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
funding for <strong>Teslin</strong> to host some hockey skills camps, and I am currently coordinating these. <strong>Teslin</strong> Minor Hockey will<br />
also hold a New Years Eve party in the hall, this is a fundraiser for the players so please support this event, spread the<br />
word and purchase a ticket.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first groomed ski trail has been set. This trail runs <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> the Sawmill Road, just past the Hermit Lake<br />
trail, on the left. <strong>The</strong> trail runs down the fire break, if you ski all <strong>of</strong> it, it turns around by the highway and returns on<br />
the same trail. Now that the lake is nearly frozen, there will be more cross country ski trails set along the shore, with<br />
regular group skis scheduled throughout the winter.<br />
Some changes were made to the Youth Leadership and Activities Program Equipment and Supplies Allowance.<br />
This fund has allowed the <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Teslin</strong> to purchase equipment for skating, hockey, tee ball, volley ball,<br />
cross country skiing, tetherball, ping pong and community events. All the equipment has been ordered or received. I<br />
should know within the first week <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> whether the RPAY After School Action Grant was approved.<br />
Two very interesting workshops were <strong>of</strong>fered in <strong>Teslin</strong> this past month. One was a strength training and Yoga<br />
Fit workshop, which despite conflicting with another course on the same weekend, had an excellent turnout. <strong>The</strong><br />
instructor spoke about motivation, making your own training plan, and gave a thorough orientation <strong>of</strong> the RecPlex<br />
exercise gym. Participants have asked for the instructor to return in the New Year, and this has already been arranged.<br />
A nutritionist also attended <strong>Teslin</strong> to speak about healthy eating, and give examples <strong>of</strong> good meals for breakfast, lunch<br />
and dinner. This was organized on behalf <strong>of</strong> the “Just Do it <strong>Teslin</strong>” group, but was open to anyone who was interested.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>December</strong> Recreation Calendar and the Student Christmas Break Activity Schedule will be finalized and<br />
published for the first week <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong>. Some highlights include a new Parents and Tots playtime at the RecPlex,<br />
Christmas decoration making, another nutrition workshop, sliding party, ski trip to Sima, a Hay ride and holiday lighting<br />
contest, and another movie matinee using the <strong>Village</strong>’s new high definition projector screen. <strong>December</strong> will be an<br />
exciting and busy month in <strong>Teslin</strong>, so don’t miss out by letting the colder temperatures keep you at home!<br />

Low Calorie Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe<br />
Ingredients:<br />
- 8 slices light bread (I used Weight Watchers bread)<br />
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth<br />
- 1 1/2 cup chopped onion<br />
- 1 1/2 cup chopped celery<br />
- ¼ cup granny smith apples (finely chopped with skin on)<br />
- 1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg subs�tute<br />
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary<br />
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme<br />
- 1 tbsp fresh sage<br />
- 2 tbsp. light bu�er (I used Brummel & Brown)<br />
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste<br />
Direc�ons:<br />
Start by drying out your bread. You can either do this by toas�ng in the oven, or by leaving the bread sit out at room temperature<br />
overnight.<br />
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.<br />
In a medium pot, combine chicken broth, onions, celery, apples, bu�er, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and sage. Cook for about<br />
15 minutes over medium heat. Mean while, break up your bread into small ½” pieces by chopping or just breaking apart with<br />
your hands. Put bread into a large oven safe dish.<br />
When broth mixture is ready, slowly pour onto bread, making sure to cover all the pieces. Next, mix in the egg subs�tute and<br />
make sure to cover all pieces. If bread cubes do not seem wet enough (they should be moist, but not saturated), add a tbsp or<br />
two <strong>of</strong> warm water un�l appropriate texture is reached. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.<br />
Cover dish with foil and transfer to over. Cook for about 25 minutes. <strong>The</strong>n, take out stuffing, mix it around and fluff it a bit and<br />
put back in the oven, uncovered for about another 15 minutes. Enjoy!<br />

DEAR GABBY<br />
How many times have you read advice columnists such as Dear Abby and didn't agree with their<br />
reply?<br />
Dear Gabby would like to provide some advise . Gabby has added a reply; Gabby communicates<br />
from a different point <strong>of</strong> view, neither right nor wrong, merely different.<br />
Dear Gabby,<br />
I am so stressed, my family has dealt with so much over the past couple years and still<br />
people like to cause undue stress on our family with accusations that are serious but are<br />
so incredible false.<br />
If you’re angry with someone else why drag an innocent family through the mud. I love<br />
<strong>Teslin</strong> but I hate the rumors that people start so selfishly. I am pretty sure we know who<br />
is responsible for this BS and want to approach them. Is this a good idea?<br />
<strong>The</strong>se accusations aren’t minor and we never want anyone to hear <strong>of</strong> them but it angers<br />
us terribly.<br />
Thanks concerned <strong>Teslin</strong> resident,<br />
Well well this is a problem that happens all over the world not just in <strong>Teslin</strong>.<br />
I have spent many hours giving this thought, and even though my first thought is to say<br />
march right up to the door and say “Hey you. You best shut up before I punch your lights<br />
out.”<br />
Of course that puts us right back into the school yard. And I am guessing we are adults<br />
in this situation.<br />
Rumors are made by little people trying to look like important people.<br />
I personally say a RUMOR is like a fire and it needs the attention (oxygen) to burn bright<br />
and hot. So it has been my belief that if you ignore a RUMOR it will not take on a life so<br />
to say.<br />
As I have mentioned many times too mainly whoever will listen<br />
“DO NOT GET STRESSED OVER A RUMOR”<br />
And truth <strong>of</strong> the matter is only YOU can control that. So I say do not give the RUMOR life
In short words pull up your big girl panties and laugh with your family over these stupid people<br />
who have the need to make up stories to feel (shrugs) important.<br />
Your true friends will stand by you and laugh with you.<br />
To your question is this a good idea, Honestly if you read above then you already know the answer<br />
is NO NO NO RUMORS live because we give them attention.<br />
With that being said Ms. Gabby says I would be so nice to the mmmmm people we think have<br />
started the RUMOR that it would make their teeth hurt.<br />
Chin up Concerned <strong>Teslin</strong> Resident (most people know RUMORS are just that it is only when we<br />
give them importance that they become alive)<br />
Ms. Gabby<br />
Dear Gabby,<br />
I've been spending much too much time on the computer lately and it's creating a problem...okay,<br />
MANY problems.<br />
Although I love the Social network scene such as my favorite, Facebook, time spent writing on my<br />
own blog, emailing my buddies, Facebook creeping, checking out new sites & commenting has me<br />
on the computer instead <strong>of</strong> taking care <strong>of</strong> business in my real world!<br />
I have been avoiding housework, hardly cooking, not spending enough time with my wonderful<br />
hubby, teenage children and hardly even venturing outside to be with other people that I love.<br />
Would you call this an addiction?<br />
I need your help.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Glued to the screen<br />
Well well Glued to the Screen<br />
(Shakes my head before banging it on the key board).<br />
Honestly you are asking if you maybe have an addic�on.<br />
Hello you are not cooking cleaning spending �me with the wonderful husband or the kids. Not to men�on<br />
people outside <strong>of</strong> the inner family circle.<br />
No you do not need my help you need me to kick your bu� with my big boot.<br />
25
In the real world people would say that yes there may be a problem come to this mee�ng and we will hold<br />
your hand to help you through it<br />
Not so in <strong>Teslin</strong> we say think about it, if it looks like a dog, barks like a dog ,walks like a dog, chances are it’s a<br />
dog. So with saying that you sit on your rump let your house fall to a mess, your husband has no idea what<br />
you look like any more and your kids are running around on the streets doing lord knows what while you are<br />
playing hmm what is it Farmville then yes you have an addic�on.<br />
So Ms Gabby says get up <strong>of</strong>f your behind, grab a broom and sweep the house cook dinner for the hubby and<br />
talk to the kids. In short UNPLUG that damn machine.<br />
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT YOU HAVE A COMPUTER ADDICTION .<br />
So step away from the computer and learn to talk to people who you see breathing.<br />
Good Luck with this.<br />
Ms. Gabby<br />
BEST WISHES & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL FROM<br />
