A magical experience in the Magic Kingdom ROCKLAND | It’s not really such a small world after all, being a citizen, even for a short time, in the Magic Kingdom. For Mackenzie Barbeau, it was one of the biggest of her life as a dancer. Last year the 10-year-old student at Rock-
land’s Extrava Danse Academy was a mouse in the chorus line of mice during the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Christmas season produc- tion of The Nutcracker Suite at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. This year she danced down Main Street U.S.A. as part of a Disney chorus line at DisneyWorld Resort in Orlan- do, Florida and that was just for openers. “It was fun,” said Barbeau, smiling at the memory. Barbeau’s journey to the Magic Kingdom began in April across the Ottawa River at the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau. She was involved in a dance competition and while she did not make the final placings, her performance caught the attention of the judges who picked her as the recipi- ent for an extra award available from the competition for outstanding and special ef- fort. She received a $1000 bursary provided through Be Discovered, a Toronto-based talent/casting agency. The bursary qualified her to take part in the Disney Dance Intensive program in Orlando in early December. For one entire week, Barbeau, with her mother, Tricia Gui- tard, were special guests and temporary citizens of the Magic Kingdom. Barbeau and other dancers of varying ages, worked with Disney choreographers like Miranda Snow, a specialist in contem- porary and jazz dance, and William Blair, a hiphop master, during several workshops. They observed, studied, and practiced all the dance moves they learned, and also
Votre santé | Your health Cuisiner la dinde sans danger Les Fêtes approchent rapidement et c’est un bon moment pour examiner les questions qui reviennent souvent sur la manière de cuire la dinde sans danger. La volaille porte parfois des bactéries dangereuses qui causent des maladies d’origine alimentaire lorsqu’elles sont ingérées. Une façon convenable de préparer, réfrigérer, manipuler et cuisiner la dinde peut prévenir les intoxications alimentaires. Heureusement, la plupart des intoxications alimentaires guérissent sans intervention médicale. Toutefois, les bactéries qui se trouvent dans la volaille peuvent causer des maladies graves et même la mort chez les personnes vulnérables comme les personnes âgées, les jeunes enfants et les gens qui souffrent de maladies chroniques. Pendant combien de temps une dinde peut-elle être gardée au congélateur? Une dinde achetée dans un magasin d’alimentation peut être conservée au congélateur pendant jusqu’à un an à des températures de -18 (0 ) ou moins. La congélation peut-elle détruire les bactéries de la dinde? Non. Les bactéries demeurent sur la dinde congelée. Lorsqu’elle est décongelée, les bactéries peuvent causer la maladie. C’est pourquoi il est important de cuire les aliments adéquatement pour que la chaleur tue les pathogènes. Combien de temps faut-il pour décongeler une dinde? Il faut 24 heures pour chaque 2,5 kg (5 lb) de dinde. Ne jamais décongeler la dinde à la température de la pièce. La décongeler au lieu, au réfrigérateur dans un grand contenant ou sur un plateau pour que le jus de la dinde ne contamine pas d’autres aliments. Est-ce que la dinde peut décongeler au four micro-ondes? Oui, mais il faut cuire la dinde dans un four conventionnel dès qu’elle est décongelée. Qu’arrive-t-il dans le cas d’une dinde achetée fraîche? Acheter la dinde deux jours avant de la cuire tout au plus. Elle doit être froide au moment de l’achat et elle doit être réfrigérée rapidement à la maison à 4 (40 ) ou moins. Quand la dinde est-elle cuite? Pour assurer l’élimination de tous les pathogènes, il est recommandé de cuire la dinde à 85 (185 ). La température de la farce doit être de 82 (180 ) ou plus. Utiliser un thermomètre à sonde inséré dans la partie la plus épaisse de la poitrine, loin de l’os. Servir la dinde le plus tôt possible pendant qu’elle est encore chaude. Que faire des restes? Ne pas laisser la dinde à la température de la pièce pendant plus de deux heures. Désosser la dinde et placer la farce dans des contenants à part au réfrigérateur. Réchauffer les restes jusqu’à une température d’au moins 74 (165 ). N’oubliez pas de porter la sauce à ébullition. Consommer la dinde, la farce et la sauce dans les deux à trois jours suivants ou les congeler promptement. Pour terminer, ne pas oublier de se laver les mains avant et après la manipulation de volaille fraîche. Il faut aussi nettoyer et désinfecter tout ce qui touche à la volaille crue, y compris les ustensiles, l’évier, le comptoir et les planches à découper. Voici des questions souvent posées : Cooking That Turkey Safely With the holiday season fast approaching, now is a good time to look at common questions about how to safely cook that turkey. Poultry may carry dangerous bacteria that can cause food borne illness if ingested. Properly preparing, storing, handling and cooking the turkey can go a long way in preventing food borne illness. Fortunately, most cases of food-borne illness go away on their own. However, bacteria found in poultry can cause serious disease including death in certain individuals such as the elderly, young children and people with chronic medical conditions. How long can a frozen turkey be kept in the freezer? A store bought frozen turkey can keep in the freezer for up to 1 year if stored at -18 (0 ) or below. Will freezing kill bacteria in the turkey? No. Bacteria will remain on the turkey when frozen. Once thawed, they can cause disease. This is why it is important to cook food properly as the heat will kill them. How long do I need to thaw a frozen turkey? You need 24 hours for each 2.5 kg (5 pounds) of turkey. Never defrost the turkey at room temperature. Instead, defrost the turkey in the refrigerator in a large container or on a platter to prevent juices from leaking onto other foods. Can I thaw the turkey in the microwave? Yes. But cook the turkey in a conventional oven as soon as it’s defrosted. What if I buy a fresh turkey? Purchase the turkey no more than 2 days before. It should be cold when purchased and quickly refrigerated at home at 4 (40 ) or less. When is the turkey fully cooked? In order to ensure that all bacteria are killed, it is recommended to cook the turkey to 85 (185 ). Stuffing should be at 82 (180 ) or more. Use a probe food thermometer by inserting it into the thickest part of the breast, away from the bone. Serve the turkey as soon as possible while still hot. What about leftovers? Don’t leave the turkey out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Debone the turkey and place the stuffing in separate shallow containers in the refrigerator. Reheat leftovers to at least 74 (165 ). Remember to bring the gravy to a boil. Use the turkey, the stuffing and the gravy within 2-3 days or freeze them promptly. On a final note, remember to wash your hands before and after handling any raw poultry. Also, clean and disinfect anything that was exposed to uncooked turkey parts including utensils, the sink, counter-tops and cutting boards. Have a great holiday season!
