Sunday the alpine goat spent Maine Open Creamery Day as the only adult goat keeping an eye on 16, six-month-old youngsters in their own pen away from the rest of the tribe of approximately 50 goats.
 
  
She instills a certain amount of order, Peter Koons said of April Snow, who sat back away from the fence as many of the younger goats crowded near children and others Sunday, both groups of kids checking each other out. She doesn t put up with much from any of them.

The younger goats, and even many of the adults kept in a separate pen, seemed as interested in seeing their human visitors as the humans did them. Koons noted they don t hand-feed the goats, so when they swarm around people it s not likely that they re looking for food; they re just curious and social creatures.

Also to be removed in the new power game are the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Taiwo Orisalade; the Majority leader, Hon Churchill Adedipe; the Chief Whip, Hon. Ade Ajayi, and other principal officers of the House.<br>

Twenty-five out of 26 members of the present Assembly are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with only one member, Hon. Oyedele Ajibola, belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), sequel to the defection of Hon. Bunmi Oriniowo to APC prior to the June 21 governorship election.
  
  They re very friendly, Peter Koons said. They re also very curious. They may nibble at your clothing a bit.

A source in the Assembly confided in newsmen in Ado Ekiti yesterday that the anti-Speaker lawmakers were mainly those representing constituencies in Ekiti North Senatorial district, comprising Ikole, Ilejemeje, Moba, Ido/Osi and Oye Local Government Areas of the State.<br>
 +
The new move, which the source said could not be unconnected with the imminent change of government in the state, as Governor Kayode Fayemi s tenure expires on Wednesday, October 15, was aimed at balancing the political equation when&nbsp; the Governor elect, Mr. Ayodele Fayose is sworn-in.
  
In a nearby commercial kitchen in a medium-sized post-and-beam building built with wood cut from the Pond Road farm property, Jean Koons, sometimes with help from her daughter, Linnea Koons Morrison, takes the milk from the twice-daily goat milking sessions and turns it into a variety of cheeses and yogurts, including their classic smooth and creamy chevre in either molded rounds or in a bath of olive oil, as well as feta, ricotta, and aged Kennebec highland Caerphilly.

The Speaker, who responded to the rumour, denied the reports of leadership crisis in the House, saying the lawmakers are united and remain committed to the development of the State.
  
She also makes and sells woodside alpine, a cow s milk cheese made from milk from fellow Sidney farmer Wilson Sanborn s herd of 30 organic Jersey cows.

<br>
 +
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, Omirin said the rumour is just the figment of imaginations of those peddling it, noting that the unity among members is something of pride to members and Ekiti people in general.<br>
 +
The source said the incumbent governor is from the North; his Deputy, Prof. Modupe Adelabu, from the Central, while the speaker is from the South senatorial districts respectively.
  
They provided samples to visitors Sunday and also made some sales for just over $5 for most of the cheeses.
+
<br>
 +
The source relayed to journalists that the equation will change with the emergence of Fayose, who is from the Central and his deputy, Dr. Olusola Eleka, from the South, the same senatorial district with Hon Omirin, which forms part of the reasons to move for his ouster, coupled with external interference.
  
Early Sunday afternoon, Trudy Ellis, of Chelsea, raved about the chevre: It s very good, very smooth and creamy.  
+
<br>
 +
Another reason adduced by the source for the change of leadership was the fact that the lawmakers were said to have lamented during a recent visit to a national leader of the party in Lagos, expressing disgust at how Fayemi had allegedly treated them in the last three and half years due to seeming weak leadership.
  
She purchased some chevre and two bottles of cajeta, a goat milk caramel, after trying a sample on a slice of apple.
+
<br>
 +
The source said the lawmakers later resorted to the new tactic when they returned to Ekiti, seeing the Speaker s removal as the best way to get at the governor.<br>
 +
The source said: The Speaker may
  
Jean Koons said they tried the cajeta at their daughter s suggestion and said they like to experiment with other flavors, too.

be removed anytime from now except he could play a fast game. Some APC lawmakers are bent on removing him at all cost, not only to balance the political equation, but to punish him for the sins he had committed under Governor Fayemi.  
  
It takes about a day to make a batch of chevre and two or three days to make the aged cheeses.

Peter Koons said every day means just that, every day. But while days off are rare on the farm, he said they have some workers who can take over the milking for them so they can take a vacation occasionally.
+
 
+
A batch of 20 gallons of goat milk makes about 17 pounds of cheese, Jean Koons said. She noted the yield is higher in the fall than it is in the spring. She said consistency of product can be a challenge for small artisanal cheese makers, because so many different things, from the time of year to the environment, can impact how their products turn out.
+
 
+
She said their products pretty much start with the same milk, and then they follow different recipes and use different bacterias to make the varieties.
+
 
+
There is a science to it, but it s also an art, she said of cheese-making.
+
 
+
She said for an annual Maine Cheese Guild Christmas party, cheese makers have previously all made the same variety of cheese, following the same recipe, but ended up with different results.
+
 
+
We all followed the same recipe, but the amount of variety is amazing, said Jean Koons, a New Zealand native.
+
 
+
Their cheese production area is kept very clean 鈥?leave your farm boots at the door, please 鈥?and is inspected by the state. They also send samples of their products to the state for testing.
+
 
+
  The state helps out. They re great, she said of the inspections and testing. The Maine Cheese Guild very much wants the regulation. We worry one person could ruin it for the whole team. So it s important to have a certain amount of regulation. It s not very onerous.
+
 
+
Open Creamery Day is organized and promoted by  to increase interest in and share information about the more than 150 artisan cheeses made in Maine.
+
 
+
Maine is a great place to be a cheese maker, Eric Rector, president of the Maine Cheese Guild, said in a news release. The quality of the milk we can produce here is unrivaled, and we have the steady support of Maine cheese lovers who seek out our products and provide essential feedback.

+
s cheeses are available at the farm at 795 Pond Road in Sidney, at farmers markets in Portland, Skowhegan and Waterville, and at markets including Lakeside Orchards in Manchester and Barrels Market and Uncle Dean s Good Groceries in Waterville. They are also served at Tao Yuan, an Asian fusion restaurant in Brunswick.

+
Sunday in Sidney visitors came to the farm through the afternoon with as many as a dozen at a time checking out the goats and the cheese they produce.
+
 
+
They included blond-headed two-year-old Kevin Barrow, of Sidney, who watched from the arms of his grandmother, Marsha Wheeler, as the young goats clambered around some large rocks.
+
 
+
In a fenced-in field separate from all the other goats, at least for now, was Gandolph, a one-and-a-half-year-old male alpine goat who fathered the 16 young goats that Alpine Snow looked over in their pasture.

+
Gandolph normally is in with the other older goats, Peter Koons said, but starting in September and lasting a month or two for mating season, male goats can get a bit ornery and smell terrible, at least to humans.
+
 
+
As part of a kids scavenger hunt Sunday on the farm, one of the items hunters had to find was attached to Gandolph s fence. The item, perhaps ironically, given its popularity as an accompaniment to goat dishes, was a large sprig of wild mint.

Revision as of 06:05, 31 October 2014

Tension is now brewing in Ekiti State House of Assembly as  lawmakers plot to impeach the Speaker, Hon. Adewale Omirin.

Also to be removed in the new power game are the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Taiwo Orisalade; the Majority leader, Hon Churchill Adedipe; the Chief Whip, Hon. Ade Ajayi, and other principal officers of the House.
Twenty-five out of 26 members of the present Assembly are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with only one member, Hon. Oyedele Ajibola, belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), sequel to the defection of Hon. Bunmi Oriniowo to APC prior to the June 21 governorship election.

A source in the Assembly confided in newsmen in Ado Ekiti yesterday that the anti-Speaker lawmakers were mainly those representing constituencies in Ekiti North Senatorial district, comprising Ikole, Ilejemeje, Moba, Ido/Osi and Oye Local Government Areas of the State.
The new move, which the source said could not be unconnected with the imminent change of government in the state, as Governor Kayode Fayemi s tenure expires on Wednesday, October 15, was aimed at balancing the political equation when  the Governor elect, Mr. Ayodele Fayose is sworn-in.

The Speaker, who responded to the rumour, denied the reports of leadership crisis in the House, saying the lawmakers are united and remain committed to the development of the State.

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, Omirin said the rumour is just the figment of imaginations of those peddling it, noting that the unity among members is something of pride to members and Ekiti people in general.
The source said the incumbent governor is from the North; his Deputy, Prof. Modupe Adelabu, from the Central, while the speaker is from the South senatorial districts respectively.

The source relayed to journalists that the equation will change with the emergence of Fayose, who is from the Central and his deputy, Dr. Olusola Eleka, from the South, the same senatorial district with Hon Omirin, which forms part of the reasons to move for his ouster, coupled with external interference.

Another reason adduced by the source for the change of leadership was the fact that the lawmakers were said to have lamented during a recent visit to a national leader of the party in Lagos, expressing disgust at how Fayemi had allegedly treated them in the last three and half years due to seeming weak leadership.

The source said the lawmakers later resorted to the new tactic when they returned to Ekiti, seeing the Speaker s removal as the best way to get at the governor.
The source said: The Speaker may
be removed anytime from now except he could play a fast game. Some APC lawmakers are bent on removing him at all cost, not only to balance the political equation, but to punish him for the sins he had committed under Governor Fayemi. 

Rattled by the lawmakers desperate move, the leaders of the party held a truce meeting with the aggrieved legislators up to midnight on Friday, urging them to sheathe their swords, which the source said have been fruitful.
The Speaker has urged Ekiti people to continue to have faith in their elected representatives in the House of Assembly, assuring them that members will not betray them in whatever guise.
