Dublin CoddleIngredients: SERVINGS 4-6 UNITS US2 kg potatoes2 large onions, peeled and sliced thickly450 g good quality pork sausages450 g bacon, piece thick cut500 ml water1 ham stock cube or 1 beef or 1 chicken stock cube, if ham stock isn’t available3 -4 tablespoons fresh parsley, choppedsalt (to season)coarse-ground pepper (to season).

INSTRUCTIONS:

Peel the potatoes. Cut large ones into three or four pieces: leave smaller ones whole. Finely chop the parsley. Boil the water and in it dissolve the bouillon cube.Grill or broil the sausages and bacon long enough to colour them. Be careful not to dry them out! Drain briefly on paper towels. When drained, chop the bacon into one-inch pieces. If you like, chop the sausages into large pieces as well. (Some people prefer to leave them whole.).Preheat the oven to 300F / 150°C In a large flameproof heavy pot with a tight lid, start layering the ingredients: onions, bacon, sausages or sausage pieces, potatoes. Season each layer liberally with fresh-ground pepper and the chopped fresh parsley. Continue until the ingredients are used up. Pour the bouillon mixture over the top. On the stove, bring the liquid to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down and cover the pot. (You may like to additionally put a layer of foil underneath the pot lid to help seal it.).Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three hours. (Four or five hours won’t hurt it.) At the two-hour point, check the pot and add more water if necessary. There should be about an inch of liquid at the bottom of the pot at all times.To Serve. Guinness, bottled or draft, goes extremely well with this dish (indeed, adding a little to the pot toward the end of the process wouldn’t hurt anything). Another good accompaniment is fresh soda bread, used to mop up the gravy!

East Atrium Side

Passion can be a beautiful part of romantic love. Yet it is interesting that the word passion originated in the 10th century, referring to Christ enduring persecution that led to the miracle of Easter. Passion in a more broad sense is a driving force, an enthusias-tic determination that can accomplish what nothing else can.

Look at people who are finding success and fulfillment in life. You will generally find that they are tapping into their passions, whatever their walks of life. Yet at the same time, we

“Passion is Energy. Feel the power that comes from focussing on what excites you.” Oprah Winfrey

Encouraging a positive faith, putting God

first to claim rich blessings

Spiritual Prosperity with Rev Bruce

Sheasby

recognize that unbridled passion can be like a wild horse that one cannot ride. Passion can be met with road blocks and even disaster if it is blindly followed with no discernment or restraint. A key to successfully tapping into passion is to consider how this powerful feeling can be connected to other Inspirational Core Values, such as purpose, meaning, creativity and wellness. In other words passion can be elevated to a higher level as it is connected to greater good or spiritual values. Passion in harmony with one’s higher self brings amazing fulfilment and success.

Exercise Your Passion1. List a few passions which give you great joy and that you believe in with all your heart.2. Choose one passion that resonates with at least three of the following

Inspirational Core Values: authenticity, purpose, meaning, creation, vision, prosperity, synergy, wellness, generosity, adventure, tenacity, helpfulness, growth, enlightenment, respect, transformation and bridge building.3. Focus on following this passion, with an action plan to do three things over the next month toward this goal. 4. Join me for hearing the story of Christ’s passion at our Good Friday service.

Bruce Sheasby is a life coach with a passion for helping others connect Inspirational Core Values to everyday life. He is leader of Your Grace Land church services and co-host of Your Grace Land Radio. His upcoming book is Your Grace Land – Achieving Success with Inspirational Core Values.

Making Calgary’s Streets SaferThere have been a lot of recent conversations at City Hall about making our streets safer for everyone. One suggestion is to reduce unposted speed limits from 50km/h to 40km/h on residential streets.

According to the World Health Organization a pedestrian has a 90% chance of surviving when struck by a vehicle moving 30km/h. At 45km/h pedestrians only have a 50% chance of survival.

Without enforcement, a change in speed limit likely won’t have

a major impact. In January I brought a Notice of Motion before Council that laid the ground work for the Calgary Police Service to come up with a residential enforcement program. It is expected that this program will be presented to Council in July.

Dropping speed limits from 50km/h to 40km/h would be a big change for Calgarians. I do not believe it would be fair for Council to pass something like this without taking the time to consult with Calgarians first. Making our streets safer is a responsibility that needs to be shared by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

I turn the question over to the residents of Ward 12. Would you be supportive of moving unposted speed limits in residential areas from 50km/h down to 40km/h? I look forward to hearing from you on this very important topic.
