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:

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

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.

John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt
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.

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

brews.

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.
