Working Together to Build Our Communities

AnnuAl Open HOuse

The Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine Rec-lamation Program, managed by SYLVIS Environmental, has been ongoing for over a decade. Locally generated municipal biosolids are applied to degraded areas of the mine as fertilizer, improving soil fertility and increasing soil organic matter content. The increased soil quality as a result of bio-solids applications promotes vegetation establishment and greening of the mine site. Reclamation is progressive occurring as mining is completed rather than at the end of the mines life.

At the open house the Mining Associa-tion of BC (MABC) will formally announce that the Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine Rec-lamation Program has won the 2012 Mining and Sustainability Award! This prestigious award recognizes organizations committed to advancing and promoting sustainable development in the BC mining sector. More

information on the award is available online at: http://www.mining.bc.ca/award/mining-sustainability-award-2012. This is the sixth award that Lehigh has won which recogniz-es outstanding achievement in reclamation.

Because of its innovative reclamation program, the Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine

has been selected for the field tour portion of the 2013 Mine Reclamation Conference hosted by the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation on September 17th. The annual conference focuses on fostering the exchange of infor-mation and ideas related to environmental

protection and reclamation in mining be-tween government and industry profes-sionals. Attendees will include nearly 200 government, industry and consulting pro-fessionals working in the mining and recla-mation industry.

The 2013 field tour at the Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine will showcase Lehighs com-mitment to the community and the recla-mation program managed by SYLVIS, as well as their relationship with the Sechelt Indian Band (SIB). As part of the tour the SIB will provide a presentation and cultural perfor-mance. This is a great opportunity to dem-onstrate Lehighs reclamation success and for mining and reclamation professionals from all over BC and Canada to visit the beau-tiful community of Sechelt. For more infor-mation on the conference click here: http://www.trcr.bc.ca/2013-mine-reclamation- symposium-registration/

A wetland has been established on a former sedimentation pond at the Lehigh Materials mine site.

Biosolids are applied to a reclamation area to enhance soil development.

Nature Trust youth perform conservation work

Each summer, the Nature Trust of British Columbia hires youth for work crews to tackle a wide variety of conservation activities on properties across the prov-ince all while learning valuable skills for future em-ployment. Training includes First Aid and Bear Aware as well as the safe handling of power tools.

In the Lower Mainland,

the crew has worked on conservation properties from Boundary Bay and the Fraser River near Hope to the Sunshine Coast and Squamish River estuary. As Fiona Beaty, member of the Lower Mainland HSBC Conservation Youth Crew explains, I have learned tremendous amounts about plant identification, habitat biodiversity, conservation

tactics, and processes and systems to do with the con-servation industry. Fiona will be returning to McGill University in the fall with her passion for work in the conservation field renewed.

The crews perform on-the-ground work as well as attending workshops from specialists in the field on topics such as bird counts, and forest and wetland ecol-ogy. They also contribute to the local community in a variety of ways. On our trip along the Sunshine Coast we worked with the Senior Park Ranger of that region, Rod Dalziel, on Francis Point Peninsula, a Nature Trust property that is being leased to BC Parks, Beaty explained. One of the tasks that we complet-ed with Rod was pathway maintenance. We spent a day on this task and by the end had successfully opened the path for safe access to the general public.

In 2013 HSBC Bank Canada is the main sponsor of the HSBC Conservation Youth Crew Program for the eighth year. Other spon-sors include BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natu-ral Resource Operations, Ducks Unlimited Canada, the Habitat Conservation

Trust Foundation, HRS-DC, Shell Canada, and The Tony Cartledge Fund.

As a leading non profit land conservation organiza-tion, The Nature Trust of British Columbia is dedicat-ed to protecting BCs natu-ral diversity of plants and animals through the acqui-sition and management of critical habitats. Since 1971 The Nature Trust along with its partners has invest-ed more than $80 million to secure over 70,000 hectares (173,000 acres) across Brit-ish Columbia.Submitted


Editorial Opinion

Volume 11 Issue 34

Letters to the Editor OpinionsButt, hes wrong

In response to A.F. Butt, I can only hope that the es-teemed professor returns to school. The results are in on roundup and the picture isnt pretty. As an organic farmer of some 50 plus years I can tell you that his statements are flawed and Prof, Butt (re-tired) intentionally misrep-resents the findings. These types try to disenfranchise the public and that is repre-hensible.

Yes, glyphosphate has a low relative toxicity. But when mixed with the other inert and mostly secret ingredients such as surfac-tants that carry the chemicals to other parts of the plants, it becomes a toxic bomb. These mixtures are designed to kill cells! Period! Plant cells as well as human. The surfactants leach into skin as well as leaves. Despite being termed Inert they are any-thing but benign. The sur-factants not only amplify the effects of glyphosphate but the glyphosphate amplify the effects of the surfactants, something like two plus two equals something more than four. Herbicide manufactur-ers are not subject to test-ing of inert ingredients and therein lies the problem. Our bodies are gigantic spi-der webs of chemical com-munications that operate in parts per trillion. The addi-tion and loading of foreign and man made chemicals spells a death knell for hu-man cells.one only has to look at the high incidence of cancers among farmers that

have used these supposedly safe concoctions to form an opinion. But the facts are there and speak for them-selves. Trent C.Farrell,Organic Farmer (not retired)

Roundup re-Butt-alIn his letter of last week,

A.F. Butt asserted that Roundup is completely safe, claiming that Roundup con-sists of pure glyphosphate and that pure glyphosphate is not as toxic as table salt. Excessive use of table salt is common in our society and this excessive use causes hy-pertension, which results in millions of premature deaths worldwide. So asserting that something is as safe as, or safer than, table salt does not inspire confidence.

Mr. Butt also seems to be implying that Roundup contains nothing other than glyphosate, but the fact is that some formulations of Roundup contain the surfac-tant polyethoxylated tallow amine, which is highly toxic to animals and humans. Whether other formula-tions of Roundup contain other dangerous adjuvants is something that perhaps our resident expert, Mr. Butt, could investigate on our be-half, in view of the fact that just before Monsantos pat-ent on glyphosphate expired there were 400 adjuvants being used in commercial agriculture.

As Noam Chomsky says, the facts matter even if we dont like them.George Kosinski, Gibsons

A visit to GibsonsThis is to describe a visit

to the wastewater treatment plant in Gibsons, on July 25 of this year. We were curious to see the workmanship of Maple Reinders, who built this plant in partnership with Stantec Consulting.

We entered a clean, odor-less and almost noiseless plant surrounded by trees and brush. We were cordially welcomed as the first visitors from Sechelt since the facility was commissioned in 2005. The management and team were honest and forthright in answering all of our ques-tions truthfully. They faith-fully represented the word professionalism.

The 6,450 cubic meters-per-day plant in Gibsons exceeds all of the require-ments for a sewage treat-ment plant in British Columbia, with effluent approaching the quality claimed by Organica, the licensed technology cho-sen for Sechelt. We were surprised to find that the Gibsons plant cost only $5 million dollars! Contrast this to approximately $25 million for the new 4,000 cubic meters-per-day plant here in Sechelt. Our biggest surprise was on learning that neither Mayor Hen-derson, nor Councilors nor Sewage Steering Commit-tee members visited this plant, which is only 30 minutes away from Sechelt. George Goudie, Michael Hume, and Barry Pruden, all of Sechelt for the Sechelt Sewage Coalition

A visit to GibsonsThe Coast Commu-

nity Builders Association (CCBA) is hosting another Provocative Talk this Sep-tember by bringing in Ezra Levant to speak about ex-panding, exporting and be-coming more dependent on Tar Sands oil. Levant is billed as Canadas best known con-servative pundit. Levant is quoted as saying, I disagree with the philosophy that the earth is limited. Dont ex-pect him to bring forward alternative expressions of renewable energy, or sustain-able low footprint industries.

Of course economic growth is welcomed, but not at the expense of a diminish-ing environment and our collective natural wealth. Le-vant promotes unbridled re-source extraction inCanada, BC and on the Coast. He commonly uses techniques of fear and ridicule. If you at-tend a Provocative Talk and question one of his positions, be prepared to enter the slick corporate shark tank.Ross Muirhead,Elphinstone Logging Focus

Grey mans burdenEvery so often, the media (excluding us, of course) haul

out the doom-and-gloom robes and point fingers at the Baby Boomers or as we have come to be known, The Source of All Social Ills.

Its been happening to us all our lives. First, there was the Great Social Ill of our advent, that bulge of population born between 1946 and 1964. How would they be fed? How would they be housed? How would they be educated? As it happened, Canadas resource-driven economy and forward-thinking politicians came together to ensure a time of un-precedented prosperity for the middle class and their huge young families. Governments built capacity, not just for a single generation but those that would follow. The result was the best educated generation in history.

Then there was the Great Social Ill of medical care. Few now remember the handwringing and doomsaying that followed the advent of (gasp) socialized medicine when Tommy Douglas first launched it in Saskatchewan. By the time it was adopted by the rest of Canada, most recognized its potential benefit to Canadian society by producing the healthiest generation in history.

As the vanguard of Baby Boomers matured and headed off to university often, the first in their family to do so a whole new Great Social Ill raised its head. Hippies, radicals, free thinkers with long hair and wild ideas, marching for civil rights, womens rights, equal rights and a whole new host of rights. Surely, now, the world would end. Instead, the ideas became enshrined in law and this became the most inclusive generation in history, laying the foundation for unprecedented equality and prosperity regardless of gender, race, religion or sexual preference (if any).

The Boomers are sliding into Senior status and here comes the final Great Social Ill. Surely we will be sucking up all the medical capacity and senior housing and riding the ferries for free and getting discounts at Claytons and, generally, just being a burden on society. Polls quoted in the Province newspaper claim this is generally held belief and thus it must be so. Never mind that this is the best educated, healthiest, wealthiest, most socially active generation ever. Never mind that Boomers who retire are either soon back working for themselves, or else become cornerstone volun-teers, or otherwise are busy having lives that dont involve rocking chairs. Here is a generation that still sets the stan-dard for rock bands, with a fossilized 70-plus-year-old Mick Jagger not a grey hair to be seen strutting his moves onstage and on tour.

Far from being the generation that brings down the Cana-dian health care system, the Boomers are likely to continue propping it up with tax dollars meanwhile strutting like Jagger and living to be an embarrassment to our children. And that is the grey persons burden.

What a great 10 days to be in Sechelt! From the Car Weekend to the Arts Week-end, theres been something for everyone visitors and residents alike!

The Rod Run on Friday, August 9, was spectacular. A record number of cars kept the thousands of residents and their guests, who make a great party of the evening, enthralled! On Saturday, the Show n Shine on Cow-

Sechelts super week of amazing activitiesrie Street (and beyond!) saw Sechelt bursting at its seams with an amazing array of vehicles spanning 100 years (from 1912 to 2012)!

Even the Drag Races on Sunday at the airport, while suffering from in-clement weather in the afternoon, provided great fun for the participants and spectators alike.

The second half of Su-per Week started with the 31st Festival of the Written Arts opening on Thursday evening. Friday saw the Power of Paint event com-mence. Saturday meant it was time for the Arts Councils Arts & Craft Fair

in Hackett Park. And, of course, along with

these annual events, we had the weekly Farmers and Ar-tisans Market on Saturdays and the SDBAs Thursday Night Market, not to men-tion the numerous sporting events occurring as well.

I am writing this on Sun-day evening having just re-turned from the concluding session at the Festival of the Written Arts along with the Arts and Crafts and Power of Paint earlier in the day.

While I have said this pre-viously on numerous times, what occurs to me most is how all of these events hap-pen because of an astonish

number of dedicated and resourceful volunteers.

On behalf of all of us, my thanks to each and every person involved in mak-ing Sechelts Super Week so successful. You are all ter-rific ambassadors for what makes Sechelt so great!

I also want to acknowl-edge the enthusiasm and great energy shown by en-tire community through-out Super Week with so many activities happening in a short period of time, the demonstrations of good will, positivity and friendship are other as-pects of our community that we celebrate!

Although the rains of autumn help damp down pollen from late-blooming flowers and settle the dust outdoors, fall comes with its own allergy triggers. They can cause just as much dis-comfort as those of spring and summer, with the old familiar symptoms again on display; runny noses, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, and dark circles under the eyes.

Annual bouts with pollen arent just uncomfortable, they also take a toll on men-tal well-being. Studies have shown that during ragweed season, allergy sufferers often experience a general sense of fatigue especially men-tal fatigue and are more prone to feelings of sadness. People who suffer from aller-gies also are up to 14 times more likely to experience mi-graine headaches than those who dont have allergies.

Allergies bloom again for fall season

Ragweed, plantain and various true grasses are releasing pollen from Au-gust through October. Yellow-flowering ragweed, with windborn pollen that can travel for hundreds of miles, is falls biggest al-lergy trigger. About three-quarters of people who are allergic to spring plants are also sensitive to ragweed and also to bananas, melon, zucchini, and certain other fruits and vegetables.

The wet season is ideal for mold growth, indoors and out. Piles of damp leaves or garden waste are ideal spots for the spores to multiply. Regularly turning compost-ing piles of green matter (wear a filter mask for pro-tection) helps decomposi-tion and reduces mold by exposing it to the drying effect of fresh air. Or simply remove the green waste en-tirely. The Town of Gibsons Green Waste Centre and area landfills accept yard waste free of charge.

Dust and dust mites get stirred into action the first time a forced-air furnace is turned on in the fall. A fresh

filter and quick vacuuming of the air ducts will reduce dust but for the first start-up, consider having doors and windows open to keep fresh air in circulation and reduce the effects of dust and mites. A HEPA filter may be installed to removed pol-len, mold and other particles from the air as it circulates through the heating system. In homes with baseboard or other heating systems, using a free-standing air filter and a humidifier will keep the air clean and comfortable.

Back to school can trigger allergic reactions in children, if the pre-opening cleanup used certain chemicals or stirred up (rather than re-moved) mold or dust.

Doctors may prescribe an-tihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays or allergy shots depending on severity of the allergy. Over-the-counter products help reduce symp-toms as well. These products should not be used without first discussing with a doctor extensive and extended use may actually result in more congestion, and allergy drugs may not be appropriate for

those with high blood pres-sure or on other medications.

Those preferring a more natural approach may wish to consult their doctor to see if using the plant-de-rived bioflavonoid Quer-cetin may be appropriate. (Those with liver disease, or who are pregnant or nurs-ing, should not take this as a supplement.) Quercetin helps stabilize cells and pre-vents them from releasing histamine and is a natural antioxidant. Citrus fruits, onions, apples, parsley, tea, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce and wine are naturally high in Quercetin, but allergy suf-ferers will most likely need to use supplements to build up enough of this compound to prevent attacks. The dosage should be discussed with a medical professional.

This year, plan to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of autumn without the mis-ery of sniffling, sneezing, and coughing through the allergies. Consult with a doc-tor or other health specialist now to prepare a campaign of treatment and prevention for the fall allergy season.

Writing in the Foreword to David Sandovals The Green Foods Bible, integra-tive cancer treatment spe-cialist Dr. Keith I. Block states that the need for superfoods and nutritional supplementation has never been greater than it is today. Citing the loss in nutrients in fresh foods engineered for transportability and pest resistance, picked green and shipped thousands of miles before purchase and con-sumption. Block notes that studies in his own treatment facility show that a core optimal diet rich in super-foods along with therapeu-tic supplementation are key components in a restorative health program.

Chlorophyll-rich green superfoods wheat grass, barley grass, wild blue-green algae, spirulina and green leafy vegetables contain the highest con-centrations of easily digest-ible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body. They con-tain a wide array of ben-eficial substances including proteins, protective photo-chemicals and healthy bac-teria helping build muscle and tissue, aid the digestive system and protect against disease and illness.

The molecular struc-ture of chlorophyll is very similar to that of human blood. Studies show that an increase in chlorophyll consumption relates exact-ly to an increase in hemo-

globin production. Higher amounts of hemoglobin in the bloodstream means more oxygen-rich blood is feeding the bodys cells, helping it to thrive.

Some green superfoods such as wheat or barley grass and the green leafy vegetables can be grown in the home garden or in containers on balconies or windowsills. Harvest-ing them just before use to add to blender drinks, salads, or other dishes pre-serves the most nutrients. When home-grown is not possible, or for elements such as wild blue-green al-gae, a high-quality supple-ment from a reputable health store or pharmacy can ensure the beneficial chlorophyll and other an-tioxidents are on hand to enhance the daily diet.

A few green superfoods to add to your daily diet (either fresh or as supple-ments) may include:

Wheat grass, the sprouted grass of a wheat seed, con-tains no gluten or other common allergic agents. Wheat grass normalizes the thyroid gland to stimulate metabolism, assists diges-tion and promotes weight loss due to its high enzyme content.

Barley grass contains 11 times more calcium than cows milk, five times more iron than spinach, seven times more vitamin C and bioflavonoids than or-ange juice and significant amounts of vitamin B12

Green superfoods protect and heal

very important for vegans. Green leafy vegetables

are readily available year-round (kale, chard and cabbage can over-winter in the garden and seeds can be sprouted indoors any time). Fresh raw green leafy vegetables contain high doses of chlorophyll, eas-ily digestible proteins, en-zymes and a wide range of vitamins and minerals.

Wild blue-green algae, a phyto-plankton, is one of the best sources of beta carotene, B vitamins and chlorophyll and has a more complete amino acid profile than beef or soybeans. It has been shown to improve brain function and memory, strengthen the immune sys-tem and help with viruses,

colds and flu.Spirulina, a cultivated

micro-algae, has been con-sumed for thousands of years by the indigenous peoples in Mexico and Afri-ca. Studies have shown that spirulina can help control blood sugar levels and crav-ings thus making it a key food for diabetics, to assist in weight loss and as a gen-eral nutritional supplement.

Chlorella, a fresh water algae, contains a complete protein profile, all the B vitamins, vitamin C and E and many minerals to ben-efit the immune system, reduce cholesterol and pre-vent hardening of the arter-ies, a precursor to heart at-tacks and strokes. Submitted

Wheat grass (left) and kale (above) are rich in chlorophyll and contain the highest concentrations of easily digestible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body.

I can help you!is it time to downsize?

Eliminate the empty nest blues

Despite being excited about the success of their grown children, many parents experience empty nest blues once the kids have moved out. Photo submitteD

Downsizing is not a negative experience it is an opportunity to grow in a new direction while reducing physical and mental clutter.

It is possible to banish the blues that come from saying goodbye to grown children who are going off to college, getting married or leaving

for a home of their own. The first step for most

empty nesters is to downsize either by repurposing the now-vacant rooms, or mov-

ing to a smaller, more man-ageable dwelling. Caretak-ing a big property or home is often no longer a joy, and spending that time on other pursuits such as travel, sports or hobbies is may be a new priority. Downsizing is not a negative experience it is an opportunity to grow in a new direction while re-ducing physical and mental clutter. Start with a mental renovation, then move on to a physical one (and dont hesitate to call in the profes-sionals!)

Look ahead. Dont spend days reliving the past. Make

a list of all the things youve wanted to accomplish that were always shelved due to familial responsibilities. Now that you have the time, do it.

Get busy. Too often cou-ples put their own needs aside for the needs of their children. This can take a toll on the relationship and inti-macy. Go on dates, be dar-ing around the house. Live like you did when you were newlyweds.

Be friendly. Take the time to schedule Empty Nest parties, where parents in similar situations can enjoy companionship.

Go ahead - renovate. Make your plans to change your house to meet your needs instead of the whole familys needs.

Savour family time. If the thought of having all the kids under the same roof again makes you smile, schedule plenty of family get-togethers so everyone can catch up in person. Whether its cake and coffee or a big backyard barbecue, enjoy the moments with your family.Metro News Service

Eight musicians from around North America pro-vided four glorious days of chamber music for fans of all ages August 16 - 18. The buzz of anticipation in the audience was palpable before performances and during in-termissions, and there was a babble of comments at the end of every concert.

For the first time, the ban-donen was featured in tango works by Piazzolla and in fugues by Bach, spanning three centuries. And, we were treated to the full range of what a clarinet can do, from gems of the chamber repertoire such as Brahms Clarinet Sonata No. 2 to Franois Houles own Aerial XXI. Who knew that two clar-inets could be played at one time by the same person, and how often has anyone heard two notes played simultane-ously on one clarinet?

The Glazunov Oriental Reverie had music fans so mesmerized that there was simply dead silence for a number of seconds at its conclusion before they broke into wild applause, and

Chamber Music Fest a resounding success

You could feel the electricity when internationally recognized violinist Lara St. John (left) took the stage along with Joyce Lai (violin), Rachel Mercer (cello), Ian Clarke and Yehonatan Berick (violas). Photo SuBMItted

Sarasates Navarra for Two Violins and Piano was an ab-solute tour de force.

With thanks to the per-formers, to Artistic Direc-

tor Alexander Tselyakov, and to all the volunteers, it was truly a magical musical experience.Submitted

Fiona Pinnell and Matt Lunny opened the doors to Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. in early August. Almost immediately, the heady aro-mas drew passersby into the tiny shop on Gower Point Road in Gibsons Landing. Within days, Pinnell had bookings for private olive oil tastings well into October, was ordering more stock for cross-Canada shipping and hiring more staff as word spread about the shops qual-ity products and services. Its 24/7 online store (www.sun-shinecoastoliveoil.com) be-gan humming nonstop with orders and questions.

It was not until she began travelling through Europe and studying in Sicliy al-ways staying in small pen-sions and inns that Pinnell rediscovered the amazing artisanal products. As they travelled, Pinnell and Lunny kept hearing stories about adulterated oils fraudulently sold as extra virgin, and real-ized the practice was alarm-ingly widespread. However, in opposition to the agribusi-ness of food fraud they dis-covered a renaissance in ar-tisanal olive oils. They agree with Francesco DeCarlo, an Italian olive oil producer: Why on earth do people buy expensive vegetables and dress them with the cheapest oil they can find?

Pinnell and Lunny are part of a co-op network of 300 specialty stores market-ing a range of oils sourced from around the world some infused with herbs or citrus, others particular vari-etals with special flavours or health properties all care-fully labeled with informa-tion as to vineyard, chemi-cal composition, and other laboratory findings ensur-ing that the product being dispensed is exactly what it claims to be. A representative from the co-op attends each producers crush, tasting and testing the oil and sending a sample to an Australian lab-oratory for analysis and fur-ther testing. The oil is then shipped to the co-ops cen-tral facility in Oakland, CA where it is again tasted and tested for quality assurance. The co-op purchases from farmgates around the world, ensuring that the freshest oils are delivered seasonally. At present, the majority of oils on offer at Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. are from southern hemisphere producers: Australia, New Zealand, South America

New shop offers global spectrum of Ultra Premium olive oils Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. will be one

of only five stores in North America (and the only one in Can-ada) certified as an Ultra Premium olive oil retailer.

and Africa. Pinnell confirms that Our oils are produced to the Australian Olive Oil Association standard that is 400 800 per cent higher than the European Unions extra-virgin standard. At any given time, we carry at least five oils that are in the top echelon of Ultra-Premium, which is above the Australian standard. Currently, Pinnell and Lunny have applied to be one of only five stores in North America (and the only one in Canada) certi-fied as an Ultra Premium seller.

Sunshine Coast Olive Oil offers in-store tastings of oils and balsamic vinegars, advice, sample packs (great for hostess gifts or wedding favours) and more. Private tastings are currently booked through October, but Pin-nell plans to hold public tastings and workshops as soon as the crush is over.Fionas Slow Braised Lamb Shanks with Coratina and Malbec Wine Reduction

This recipe utilizes our su-perlative, ultra fresh, award winning Coratina extra vir-gin olive oil and Ultra Pre-mium Barnea in two sepa-rate elements.-four lamb shanks-1/2 cup flour

Why on earth do people buy expensive vegetables and dress them with the cheapest oil they can find?

Francesco DeCarloItalian olive oil producer

-1 tablespoon kosher salt-fresh ground pepper to taste-four-inch sprig of rosemary-4 cloves fresh garlic, minced-1 medium onion minced-1 large carrot, finely diced-1/3 cup Ultra Fresh, UP, Coratina Olive Oil-3 cups Malbec red wine-1 cup hot water

This recipe can be made ei-ther in an oven or crock pot. If using the oven, preheat to 300F. In a wide shallow dish or a gallon size Ziploc bag, mix the flour, salt and pep-per. Rinse and pat the lamb shanks dry and dredge in the flour. In a large heavy bot-tom pan, heat the Coratina over medium-high heat, and

brown the lamb shanks un-til golden on all sides (about five minutes per side), taking care not to over-crowd the pan. Remove to a plate.

In the same pan, add all of the vegetables and saut over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits, until the onions are translucent (ap-proximately five minutes). Pour in the wine and sim-mer for two minutes, then add hot water. Add the fresh rosemary to the bottom of a dutch oven and arrange the shanks on top. Pour the wine and vegetables over the top. Cover and cook for six hours. If using crock pot, set on low and assemble as for oven method.

After six hours, carefully remove the shanks from the liquid taking care not to al-low the meat to slip off the bones. Cover to keep warm. Strain and de-fat the brais-ing liquid. Place in a small saucepan and reduce by half. Adjust the seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Place lamb shank atop a bed of mashed potatoes made with ultra fresh UP Barnea extra virgin olive oil, drizzle with sauce reduction and garnish with fresh rosemary.

RESORT & MARINA EGMONT BC

HeatHer JealEdItor

Beer buffs will be pour-ing into the Backeddy in Egmont Sunday, August 25 at 2 p.m. when Townsite Brewing taps a cask of spe-cial one-of-a-kind Tin Hat India Pale Ale (IPA) pepped with extra Citra hops a high alpha acid hop with a strong, yet smooth floral and citrus aroma and fla-vor. The Citra hop fits into the idea of American pale ales and IPAs, as it gives a strong hop kick while al-lowing a solid flavor profile to come out.

Cask ale or cask-condi-

tioned beer is unfiltered, un-pasteurized and conditioned (including secondary fer-mentation) in the cask from which it is served without added nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. Townsites Brewmaster Cedric calls it a great way to prepare small batches of beer or ale and try out different ingredients and methods.

Tapping a cask is a special event for artisan and mi-cro-brewmasters, and well worth the drive for fans of quality brews.

Enjoy!

17 years of Pender Jazz Fest and still going strong Still going strong after 17

years, the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival features Gen-erations of Jazz throughout the weekend-long event, September 20, 21 and 22. From the age-20-something funksters of Jackie Treehorn to Canadas Grand Old Man of Big Band Dal Richards, still going strong at 95 the festival offers jazz styles for every ear at a variety of ven-

traditionally wrapped up the Coasts tourist season.

Demand for ticketed events is particularly strong this year. The Jazzapalooza afternoon performances Saturday and Sunday (four performances and four hours of jazz at each), and Saturday night headlin-ers Harold Mabern Trio with festival favourite Cory Weeds at the School of Mu-sic are all expected to sell out well in advance of the festival. Visit the website at www.penderharbourmusic.ca/jazz-festival to purchase online, or in person at Sechelt Visitor Information Centre or Oak Tree Market in Madeira Park.

Free events include dinner performances at the Garden Bay Restaurant (Sheldon Bradley and Ruth McGilli-vray, 6 8 pm, reservations recommended) and evening

ues around Madeira Park, Kleindale and Garden Bay. With 19 performances, 11 free events and only three ticketed events featuring eight performances, the fes-tivals focus on accessible, lyrical jazz in all styles, inter-national stars, local groups, young up-and-comers, and the whos who of the BC Jazz scene.

This September festival performances, including the legendary festival wrap-up, in the pub. Seating is first come, first served. Host Ron Johnston notes that the adjacent marina is fully booked for jazz weekend.

Accommodation is still available (but filling up quickly) at many of Pend-er Harbours many resorts. Book early to avoid disap-pointment (and a long, dark drive home on a Sep-tember evening).

Horoscope August 23 to August 29Horoscope

MichaelOConnor Astrologer

Tip of the WeekFor many, this year has

been extra dramatic. The Mercury Retrograde cycle which began in late June and lingered all the way through to August 4 was particularly turbulent. From a wider angle, close and potent alignments be-tween Pluto, Uranus, Sat-urn and Jupiter continue to synchronize with revo-lutionary change. Among its effects is a growing em-phasis on women assuming positions of power and au-thority. The rising demand for democracy and justice and the decline of power linked to religious institu-tions as we are seeing in the Middle East are other important themes. From the stand point of Chinese Astrology, this Year of the Water Snake is delivering the shedding of skins, im-plying significant changes on personal and collective levels. This cycle continues through to February 2014 so there is still time to tune-in and start peeling and shedding that old skin.

Aries (Mar 21 Apr 20)You will feel a definite

mood switch more sober and practical. Your playful spirit will return soon, so use this window to be productive.Taurus (Apr 20 May 21)

A creative wave will contin-ue and increase, spliced with an urge to get everything just right. This rhythm will con-tinue so set a steady pace.Gemini (May 21 Jun 21)

The focus now is home and family with an emphasis to create a healthier lifestyle. Energy levels should con-tinue to rise. Establish a new norm with health in mind.Cancer (Jun 21 Jul 22)Expect your focus to di-

versify; you will feel more en-thusiastic and adventurous as well. Entertain the possi-bilities, but do the numbers.

Leo (Jul 22 Aug 23)A new momentum has

been initiated. Access the full measure of your talents and resources; confront some very real fears to lay claim to latent powers.

Virgo (Aug 23 Sep 22)The Sun in your sign will

activate your will and drive. Your focus will sharpen. Changes in your daily routine and rhythm as the month progresses will come spiked with a spirit of adventure.

Libra (Sep 22 Oct 22)The time has come to re-

treat for a while. Clarify your vision of your ideal outcome, then formulate a plan of ac-tion to realize your dreams.Scorpio (Oct 22 Nov 21)

Stir the pot and shake things up. Pay extra close attention to a tendency to procrastinate. Do a little war dance, voice your intentions and go for it!Sagittarius (Nov 21 Dec 21)

As old rhythms, patterns, appetites and priorities dis-solve you are challenged to replace them with some-thing new. Create new alli-ances; reach out to be seen and heard.Capricorn (Dec 21 Jan 19)

Passions and ambitions have been rising. Cast a criti-cal eye upon developments. Approach others with empa-thy, diplomacy and a nego-tiable attitude for best results.Aquarius (Jan 19 Feb 19)

A time of endings and of new beginnings has begun. Focus diligently over the next several weeks so future aspirations can germinate in a healthy and timely manner.Pisces (Feb 19 Mar 20)Make some specific im-

provements even renova-tions on the relationship front. Be open to advice, guidance and coaching. Collaborative efforts will prove more productive than solo work.
