Wine Making Club: Dessert Wines
The SSC Wine Making Club has bottled a few dessert wines now, so it's good to know what a dessert wine actually is. The ones the club has bottled are called "Port Wines", which are typically red. White dessert wines are typically called "Icewine".
"Dessert wines, sometimes called pudding wines in the United Kingdom, are sweet wines typically served with dessert. There is no simple definition of a dessert wine. In the UK, a dessert wine is considered to be any sweet wine drunk with a meal, as opposed to the white fortified wines (fino and amontillado sherry) drunk before the meal and the red fortified wines (port and madeira) drunk after it. Thus, most fortified wines are regarded as distinct from dessert wines, but some of the less-strong fortified white wines, such as Pedro Ximénez sherry and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, are regarded as honorary dessert wines. In the United States, by contrast, a dessert wine is legally defined as any wine over 14% alcohol by volume, which includes all fortified wines—and is taxed more highly as a result. This dates back to when the US wine industry only made dessert wines by fortification, but such a classification is outdated now that modern yeast and viticulture can produce dry wines over 15% without fortification (and German dessert wines can contain half that amount of alcohol)."

The science of keeping adult friendships
Tuesday, October 18, 2022 | (9:00 AM Saskatoon time, 2:00 PM ET)
“Make new friends but keep the old” is a classic line for a reason. Sustaining healthy friendships is a process that requires some effort and care. In this Meetup Live event, we will be talking about how different attachment styles have an impact on a friendship’s longevity.
Join Dr. Marisa Franco, author of the New York Times bestseller Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–and Keep–Friends as an Adult, for a discussion on how attachment styles influence friendships. You will learn the secrets to forming and maintaining adult friendships, identify characteristics of good friendships, and what the different attachment styles are and how they influence your friendships. Plus, stick around for Q&A! RSVP now to save your seat.
This event is free and open to the public. Consider sharing this invitation with your community.

Wine Making Club: How to Serve Port
"Vintage Ports are best served slightly below room temperature: 60°F to 64°F. Too cool (e.g. straight from the cellar) and the wine will not release all its aromas and flavors, too warm (68°F or more) and it may appear unbalanced on the nose. If you are thinking of all the literary allusions to warming Port by the fire, remember that up until the mid-20th century or later, houses were not centrally heated and could be as cold or colder than modern cellar temperature recommendations."

Good morning everyone! I am student with the University of Saskatchewan and am conducting research regarding the feasibility and design of a roller rink in Saskatoon. I have a 2 minute survey that I would really like to hear your feedback on as individuals in the area interested in roller skating. If you have a moment to spare the link to the survey is below. Thank you for your time and have a great day!Disclaimer: the information being collected is for a business plan as part of an entrepreneurship class, however, the rink is not intended be developed beyond the business plan. We are looking to gain real insight into the market so we appreciate all of your feedback as it is an immense help but apologize for any confusion regarding the actual start-up of a rink in Saskatoon.Original Facebook Post

Windscreens at Father Basil Markle Park
fyi... The following information was passed on to me about the pickleball courts at Father Basil Markle Park.
______________________From: Marilyn BarringtonSent: Sunday, September 25, 2022 at 10:43:48 p.m. EDTSubject: Windscreens at Father Basil Markle ParkHi,Your group may have noticed that 2 sections of the windscreens SPI ordered are now up on the north end only of FBM. Attached is a summary of how they came to be, and why one panel is 6 ft high, and ll of the others are 44” high.The project took several months to complete, as our SPI Facilities committee needed to get approvals and follow all of the requirements outlined by the City. If you think your group may be interested in receiving the attached account of our journey, please feel free to share with anyone. Thanks.Marilyn______________________
Windscreen Project for Fr. Basil Markle Park
Windscreens for FBM Park have long been the number one wish of our membership. Having completed Uptown Jack’s in 2021, we set our sights on satisfying this requirement in 2022. While we anticipated the project being relatively straightforward, it required us to address a number of issues to keep the project moving.
Prior to the opening of the courts, we met with City of Saskatoon officials to outline our desires for the project and to understand what would be required from the city to get an agreement to execute the project. After a number of discussions, the city advised that they would require an engineering analysis on the strength of the existing chain link fence to withstand various wind loads and that the analysis had to be stamped by a qualified structural engineer for the Province of Saskatchewan. As FBM Park was built 50 years ago, there was no information available on the construction standards used at that time. One of our members, Ed Miller, who is a professional engineer helped to gather information on the construction specifics, which was then forwarded to JCK Engineering who did the analysis for us. We had done a lot of research to locate a supplier, Douglas Sports, who fabricates windscreens for municipal facilities all across North America and we selected a fabric that had a density factor of 85% and a long-expected life with a satisfactory warranty. We were hoping to erect 72-inch windscreens around the entire facility, but when the engineering analysis was done based on the structural integrity of the fence at FBM, we could only erect a windscreen no larger than 44 inches. The easterly portion of the north fence of FBM previously had a tennis backboard which was supported by larger posts spaced closer together for added strength. Accordingly, the engineering analysis determined that this particular section would withstand a 72-inch windscreen.
Having determined the specifications for the windscreen, our next step was to address the requirements of the CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) committee which is made up of representatives from various civic departments. We had to prepare a written report outlining the implications that a windscreen may have on potential for criminal activities using published CPTED principles. As the CPTED committee only met once a month, we were fortunate that City officials were able to get us on their agenda for early July. While the CPTED committee originally had concerns with putting windscreens around the entire facility, we were fortunate that they took the time to understand our approach and ultimately agreed to having windscreen around the entire facility. Once CPTED approval was obtained we had to negotiate a Use/Management Agreement with the City of Saskatoon that addressed such issues of installation, repairs, maintenance and storage of the windscreens in the off season. Also, we had to agree on the responsibility for eventual replacement of the windscreens when they reach end of life.
At the same time, we initiated procurement activities and encountered long delays getting quotes form the Canadian distributor of Douglas Sports. Eventually we changed course and were able to secure the windscreens through Al Anderson Sports who was most helpful in dealing with supply chain issues, import regulations etc.
All of this would not have been possible without the financial support of the Government of Canada through its New Horizons For Seniors Program administered by Employment and Social Development Canada. This program funded not only the engineering analysis and windscreen purchase, but also provided funding for equipment and activities used to promote the sport of pickleball amongst seniors. While the project took a long time due to the number of requirements mentioned above, we are happy to have the windscreens erected at the north end of FBM Park to get a trial run and also perfect installation and removal techniques for next spring. While the structural soundness of the 50-year-old FBM fence did not allow for the height of windscreens that we originally envisioned, we are happy to have windscreens that meet the maximum allowed according to the engineering evaluation, and we hope that the membership is able to get enhanced enjoyment from playing at FBM Park in the future.
