Celebrating a hundred years

“HERE.‘N THERE.

ANOTHER Terraceview
resident recently
celebrated a milestone
birthday — Sadie Gag-
nier turned 100 years old
on March 15.

Sadie Gagnier
(Doucette) was born in
1897 in Minnesota. She
came from a large family
of 12 children — six boys
and six girls.

In 1903 her parents
Gideon and Josephine
Doucette moved to a
homestead in Sas-
katchewan.

Sadie’s mother suffered
a stroke and was
paralyzed while living on

With the coming of
spring, it’s time ta dust off
the clubs, clean up Rover’s
mess in the backyard and
hook up the barbecue.
Unfortunately, barbecue
season brings with it the

two million cases of food
poisoning each year. In fact
it’s been given its own
name... Barbecue
Syndrome, so it must be
important. These back yard
blues are invariably linked
to a few routine practices.
Short of issuing licenses to
' drive these babies, there are
a few safe handling tips we
should pick up prior to
sparking up the Coleman.

Always thaw and mar-
inate meats and poultry in
the refrigerator, never at
toom temperature.

Wash hands thoroughly
before preparing food, after
handling raw meat, and aft-
er using the toilet.

majority of our estimated:

If you are as skilled as I
am you probably cal a lot
of chicken black on the
outside and pink on the
inside, With steak this is
OK. However, hamburgers
MUST be thoroughly
cooked until juices run
clear, and poultry and pork

to carry food from the bar-
becue to the table. Both of
these last habits can cause
“eross-conlamination and
increase the risk of food
poisoning.

‘Serve cooked meats
immediately, or keep them
hot (above 6000C/1400F),

Wash ail utensils, cutting
boards and counters with
hot, soapy water then sani-
tize with bleach (two ounc-
es per gallon of water).
This will prevent bacteria
from raw meats from con-
taminating other foods.

Procéssed red meats like
bacon and wicners are
treated with nitrites to kill
Botulism. These preserva-
tives bind with proteins in
the stomach forming nilra-
samines, a carcinogen.
Consuming vilamin C
(orange juice or a salad) at
the same lime as your hot-
dog will counteract this.

the farm. Sadie helped

Sadie’s father was well
known for making home

SADIE GAGNIER celebrated her 100th birthday on March 15 this year. Sadie
lives at Terraceview Lodge and staff there joined forces with the Terrace
Regional Museum Society to help her celebrate her landmark birthday.

made wine.

Both her parents lived
on the farm until they
died.

Sadie helped on the
farm until she was
married — on August 24,
1914.

She and her husband
farmed at Rosthern, Sas-
katchewan and later
moved to the Peace River
area, settling on a ranch
at Dawson Creek. Sadie’s
husband died there.

Sadie’s adopted son
Gerry was bom in 1924.
He was her only child and
he brought her to Terrace
to live with him after her
husband died.

Gerry died in Terrace in
1980.

‘Sadie had depended on
her son Gerry and she
was very unhappy at
being left alone. Few
people visited her and she
became isolated, until she
entered Terraceview
Lodge.

Now Terraceview is her
home and the residents
and staff are her family.
Everyone there looks
after her well.

Of course we wish her
well and congratulations
on her birthday.

I thank her niece,
Simonne Green in Sas-
katchewan for forwarding
information to me — un-
til now her life had been a
mystery.

And special thanks to
Ida Mohler for the lovely
entertainment on Sadie’s
birthday, and to the city
of Terrace for donating
the birthday cake.

May God bless Sadie
with more good health.
