  I agree 100 per cent with Joyce Neufeld’s letter in the Dec. 12 StarPhoenix that Gerry Ritz shouldn’t be inducted into the Agriculture Hall of Fame.
  When he was in parliament, he did more damage than good for prairie farmers. Ritz getting rid of the Canadian Wheat Board was one of the worst things that happened in the history of Canada’s agricultural industry.
  It wasn’t what the majority of farmers wanted, so why did he do it? Only Mr. Ritz can answer that.

  By Kevin Miller
  It was the summer of 1984. I was in Grade 8 and just awakening to the importance of current events. Hence, I was reading the Yorkton Enterprise newspaper one day when I came across an article about a group of college students who had decided to liven up their summer by carrying out a series of targeted assassinations.
  Yes, you heard that right. Killings. Murders. Slayings. Homicides. Yorkton always was a bit of a rough place.

  My mother used an old stone sink in a sunny spot to grow early bulbs, followed by a bed of thyme. There was also a large stone cider press — Mother planted bulbs and other perennials in the shallow trough that ran around its base.

  There are probably plenty of small but mighty ingredients hanging out in your kitchen. Cinnamon sticks, dried chile peppers, cardamom and herbs are all proof that size is definitely not proportionate to how much flavor a food has.
  Perhaps the MVP of the culinary featherweights is garlic. Easy to buy, easy to store and easy to incorporate into a wide variety of dishes, this little bulb can do it all.
