Successful UHS Harvest Ball Those who attended and sponsored the 56th Annual Harvest Ball at Uintah Uin-tah High School on November 8, have said it was a "big success." Royalty for the ball was announced that evening with the queen, her attendants at-tendants and Miss Congeniality reigning over the festivities. Tara Maestas was awarded the title as Miss Congeniality for being the best sport, friendliest, and most helpful during the royalty competition. The other royalty included: Kristy Miller, 2nd attendant, who was sponsored spon-sored by the DECA Club; Tammy Swain, 1st attendant, who is an avid sponsor of many UHS activities; and Harvest Ball Queen, Ann Massey. Ann will go on to represent Uintah High School at the State FFA Convention Con-vention where she will compete for the title of State FFA Queen. The convention con-vention will take place in March of 1987. According to Tracy Allen, an officer of-ficer in the FFA Club at UHS, all of the contestants did a good job and the 1986 Harvest Ball Committee expressed ex-pressed their appreciation to the girls for exhibiting outstanding sportsmanship sport-smanship in the competition.

Now I say, "List all For which you are glad. Begin with simple things Like your mom and your dad." Raising his hand, a boy moans, "We've done this for years." His colleague comments That he's bored beyond tears. Then, a front-row hand waves. A spark nearly ignites. "Do you mean like videos, VCRs, And cruisin' Main on Saturday nights?" Maybe it's over their heads Or I'm out of step with the time But being thankful for Ratt and Van Halen Seems like a felonious crime. A time to give thanks Where is the chance When teenagers think Plymouth Rock is an out-of-date dance?

Before placing the turkey in the oven, you may want to brush it with cooking oil, melted butter, but-ter, or margarine althought is is not necessary. Then cover the turkey with a loose tent of heavy-duty aluminum foil. To make a tent, tear off a sheet of foil 5 to 10 inches longer than the turkey. Crease foil crosswise through the center and place over the turkey, loosely crimping onto the sides of pan to hold in place. This prevents over-browning, over-browning, allows for maximum heat circulation, keeps the turkey moist, and reduces oven splatter. When using a meat thermometer, insert in-sert it through the foil into the thickest part of the thigh muscle without touching the bone. The inner thigh is the area that heats most slowly. To brown the turkey, remove the foil tent 20 to 30 minutes before roasting is finished and continue cooking until the thermometer registers 185 F. Basting is usually not necessary during dur-ing roasting since it cannot penetrate the turkey. Also, opening the oven door frequently prolongs the cooking time. Roasting Chart The following times are based on an oven preheated to 325 F. Plan the roasting time for a large bird so it will be done about 20 minutes before serving. Allowing the turkey to stand, covered loosely with aluminum foil, makes the meat easier to carve and juicier. Timetable for roasting fresh or thawed turkey or turkey parts: Weight (pounds) 6 to 8 8 to 12 12 to 16 16 to 20 20 to 24 24 to 28 Unstuffed (hours) 2"4 to 3V4 3 to 4 32 to 42 4 to 5 4i2 to 5'2 5 to 6 "2 Stuffed (hours) 3 to 3M 3"2 to 4'2 4"2 to 5"2 5'2 to 6"2 6'2 to 7 7 to 8'2 You should not partially roast a stuffed turkey one day and complete roasting the next. Interrupted cooking enhances the possibility of bacterial growth. It seems every holiday season brings publicity about a new way of cooking turkey, promising excellent results. One that has been publicized is long cooking at a very low temperature (250" F). This method is not recommended. Because of the low temperature, the turkey (and stuffing) might take more than four hours to reach a high enough temperature to destroy bacteria, and could therefore De unsafe. The quality of the turkey might suffer, too. During prolonged -cooking, some areas would tend to become very dry. Testing for Doneness The most reliable method for detecting when your turkey is thoroughly cooked is using us-ing a meat thermometer. The turkey is done when the temperature reaches 180F to 185F in the inner thigh of whole turkeys and in the center of the thickest part of turkey pieces. Stuffing temperature should reach at' least 165F. To check the stuffing, insert the thermometer through the body cavity into the thickest part of the stuffing and leave it for five minutes. The stuffing stuf-fing temperature will rise a few degrees after the turkey is removed from the oven. Another method for testing doneness is to press the fleshy art of the thigh with protected fingers. If the meat feels soft, or if the leg moves up and down easily and the hip joint gives readily or breaks, the turkey is done. As soon as your turkey is completely complete-ly cooked, you should remove all the stuffing from the cavities. Harmful bacteria is more likely to grow in the stuffing if it sits in the bird after cooking. cook-ing. If you do not need all the stuffing for first servings, you can put the remaining re-maining stuffing in the oven at 200 to keep hot until you need it.
