Comedy on the Coast came to Sechelt once again and packed the house at Raven’s Cry

Theatre. This incredible benefit raises funds for Pediatric equipment for St. Mary’s Hospital. It has raised about $35,000 in each of the past 2 years, but broke all records by bringing in over $40,000 this past weekend.

Comedian, Dan Quinn was the master of cer-emonies and kept the jokes rolling all night long. He is the founder of the hugely popular Snowed In Comedy Tour and is the winner of The Cana-dian Comedy Competition at Just for Laughs.

Quinn said “This is my third year performing at Comedy on the Coast and each year it seems

better than the last. I am starting to recognize faces in the crowd. It’s fun to be a part of a great evening that raises money for charity. Chad and Christa Joe are huge supporters of mine and I am grateful that they keep asking me back.”

Also on the bill was comedian Darryl Len-nox. He was born and raised in Las Vegas, Ne-vada, and has been performing in comedy clubs throughout the United States and Canada. He has opened for Chuck Berry and was the winner of the Seattle Comedy Competition.

Lennox has partnered with Third World Eye Care Society (TWECS) and is helping to offer treatment solutions to the visually impaired in

third-world countries.The late night performance was by comedian

Mike Wilmot. In 2005 he won two Canadian Comedy Awards for best male stand-up and best actor for his work in It’s All Gone Pete Tong. His jokes are the combination of naughtiness of a child’s first dirty joke blended with a man’s sour realization that the joke’s probably on him.

Big thanks go out to Chad and Crista Joe, all the local volunteers / supporters and MCL Motor Cars, TD Canada Trust, Caterpillar Inc. and Lehigh.

Let’s hope this is a tradition that continues next year.

Laughing out loud

Award winning comedian Dan Quinn was back to MC the annual Comedy on the Coast benefit event at the Raven’s Cry Theatre in Sechelt.

Education Matters

Silas White Chair, School District #46School Board

Members of the public may be getting tired

of every local government and organization on the Sunshine Coast announc-ing a strategic plan. But from having just � nished the three-year term of one, while launching our next one, I can testify that hav-ing some kind of strategic plan is essential to gov-erning and managing an e� ective organization—especially one that is ac-countable to the public.

But, it’s easier said than done. Our Board of Edu-cation has learned a lot from initiating and com-pleting it’s � rst (2009–12) plan in 10 years.

We were most success-ful in meeting goals that were achievable, in our realm of in� uence, and clear enough to trans-

New plans set achievable goalsform into tangible tasks. We accomplished virtu-ally all our governance and � nancial objectives, including a number of � scally responsible initia-tives, the revitalization of the District Parents Advi-sory Council, public edu-cation advocacy, a new governance model, a vast reduction in closed-door board and committee meetings (by 85 per cent) and engagement in more community partnerships.

However, we earned an incomplete on our stu-dent achievement goals. � is is disappointing for any board of education, but in hindsight we need-ed a better grasp of what was already happening in the schools. We made our goals too broad and vague to operationalize. We knew that we liked some ideas, such as more support for middle year students, technology, and more special programs, but we would’ve been bet-ter o� to identify reason-able, bite-sized chunks

rather than make a list of everything we liked.

For our 2012–15 plan, we have sets of objec-tives under the headings Student Achievement, Relationship-building and Learning Environments that already have achiev-able goals identi� ed with many already underway.

Relationship-building is a key theme that has been expanded from our last plan that emphasizes joint use with the SCRD, rela-tionships with the Sechelt and Squamish Nations, coordination with Cap-ilano University, improved communications and en-couragement of leadership in our schools, communi-ty use of facilities, budget consultation, board evalu-ation, and involvement in community planning and local social advocacy.

Learning Environments include welcoming fa-cilities, action to address over-crowding, neigh-bourhood schools, safety for all students, emergency preparedness, employee

wellness, energy/carbon consumption, the develop-ment of an international program, and the rebuild of Gibsons Elementary.

And under Student Achievement our goals are public accessibility of our Achievement Con-tract, expansion of Career and Apprenticeship pro-grams, continued sup-port for Early Learning, a measured approach to technology, identi� cation of outdoor/environmental learning opportunities in our schools and commu-nity, a positive atmosphere for idea-sharing, profes-sional growth planning, a student-focused budget model review, and celebra-tion of achievements.

We are welcoming more input to this draft plan un-der the heading of Feed-back Requested on Draft Strategic Plan on the front page of our website: www.sd46.bc.ca.

Joni Mitchell shines at Ruby

It was a gorgeous warm evening last Saturday and

many lucky fans enjoyed a wonderful night of dining, � lm, stories and autographs with none other than Joni Mitchell.

Although Mitchell has remained low key for a number of years, preferring the quiet life instead of the

spotlight, she graced the au-dience with her attendance at Ruby Lake Resort for a very special night.

� e evening was sold out before most people knew it was happening. Local fans were joined by people who had � own in from England, the USA, and beyond, spe-ci� cally for the event. � e air

was electric as people slowly � lled the restaurant.

After a delicious meal of local and organic specialties prepared by Chef Aldo at the Ruby Lake Resort Trat-toria, the crowd strolled out under the brilliant autumn moon to watch Mitchell’s 1998 music video, Painting with Words, in a beautiful outdoor setting. As people relaxed and even cuddled while they watched the mov-ie, the moon shown down and reminded both locals and visitors alike that this is a wonderful place.

After the show ended, a very happy crowd, almost giddy, had a chance to meet and share in a group photo opportunity with the incred-ibly talented and friendly Joni Mitchell.

Greg Welstead foundThe BC Coroners Ser-

vice has con� rmed the identity of a male found deceased in a wooded area in Gibsons on the Sun-shine Coast.

Human remains were found on Aug. 28, 2012. Additional remains were recovered during subse-quent search e� orts con-ducted on Sept. 5, 2012.

A post-mortem inves-tigation, including DNA analysis, con� rmed that the deceased was Sunshine Coast resident, Mr. Grego-ry Welstead.

Mr. Welstead was last seen alive leaving his resi-

dence on March 12, 2012.A missing persons inves-

tigation was launched by the Sunshine Coast RCMP after his vehicle was found unoccupied and he failed to return home. It was de-termined that he died the same day or shortly there-after. He was 56 years old at the time of his death. Sunshine Coast RCMP have ruled out foul play.

� e BC Coroners Ser-vice would like to acknowl-edge assistance provided by the Sunshine Coast RCMP Detachment, Sun-shine Coast Search and Rescue, the local Conser-

vation O� cer Service and concerned local residents.

Editorial Opinion

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

Volume 10Issue 39

(Letters continued on page 5)

As fall sets in and the leaves begin to change colour, you can walk along any beach on �e Coast and the

scenery seems to unfold like an Ansell Adams photo. In-stantly visible are the wind blown ocean shores, the rocky mountain tops, and a bald eagle or two playing around in the salty breeze.

We take this beauty for granted, because we trust that it will be there. Whether you’d like to go for a soul searching walk, or even just a lunch time shu�e down the beach, each of us has gained a level of trust that the universe will provide.

�e same way you know the sun will rise tomorrow. �is level of trust is important, or life would be very con-

fusing. Imagine wondering if your favourite beach will be there tomorrow - aside from the fact that the ice-caps are melting and that they could very well get �ooded someday.

Anyhow, people have gained this innate sense of trust in the universe, but they don’t always trust each other, and for good reason. It is usually ego, greed, or a simple lack of com-munication that can get in the way and lead to everything from minor squabbles to full scale wars between nations.

So how do you decide if you can trust someone? Ernest Hemingway says: �e best way to �nd out if you can trust somebody, is to trust them. �e problem with that Ernest, is that it’s too late once you’ve �gured it out.

Overall, people need to rely on one another. Since the beginning of time, this has been humans greatest strength. Jesus, Budhha, and all the great divine beings would seem to agree, and have based their teachings on honesty - as the foundation of trust. Without this, then deceit, pretense and facade take over and destroy what good has been created.

Many years ago, I stood and watched Maritime �shermen (and women) as they sailed out into the cold rugged North Atlantic seas around 4 a.m., in their little �shing vessels. �ey were tossed around in the dark surf and each and every one of them would put their lives at risk for each other. One wrong turn of the wheel, or even just a poorly tied knot and young Danny Boy could be thrown overboard, never to be seen again. Talk about trustworthy individuals.

�en there were those paramedics, who due to the ca-lamity and size of the catastrophe, had to teach festival attendees to make some quick life saving decisions. �ey relied on their support to help rescue hundreds of people who were trapped and being crushed under a fallen build-ing, just outside St. Louis, Missouri.

Closer to home, there were some young Sunshine Coast athletes, who after bonding for a year, travelled up to a hockey tournament in Powell River where the competi-tion was so sti� that winning even one game seemed near impossible. �ese young boys and girls used their faith in one another over their speed to out perform their oppo-nents. �ey even brought home gold medals as a testa-ment to their incredible ability to work together.

Although tales of life, death and gold medals can eas-ily demonstrate the need to be trustworthy, it is just as important in your everyday life. Honesty will always bring happiness to you and those around you. Trust is a trickier thing to o�er up, but just as important. With it, busi-ness will �ourish and you will always be able to walk tall, shoulders back and with a big smile on your face.Jim Dorey, Editor

Trust in others is not always easy, but one must always try

Water Shortages With the recent escalation

in Sechelt to stage 3 water restrictions, it has occurred to me that our limited water supply is a serious problem that will only become worse. Development is going ahead full speed and council has wonderful plans to grow the community to attract new residents or keep existing families on the coast.

�e local news prints reg-ular stories detailing plans to improve sewer systems, pav-ing of roads, and numerous other projects such as hotels and airport expansion. I have rarely read about any plans to expand our fresh water system.

�e reality is that due to prolonged warm weather we are reaching dangerously low levels in the reservoir. How long will our water last when the new condo buildings, and the plethora of vacant new homes all be-come occupied with thirsty residents?

Humans require fresh water �rst and foremost for survival. In my opinion the District has misplaced pri-orities. For most of the year, we watch precious water run down streams and into the ocean. �e District needs to make upgrading our fresh water capacity priority one or we may all be drinking sewer water sooner than we know.Mike Adams, Sechelt

Electric or more gas? Questions must be asked;

if we are to bear the cost of installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations here on the Coast, why has the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) just pur-chased �ve petroleum �red 2012 vehicles?

Some research by manage-ment would have revealed that the manufacturing in-dustry feels that V-8’s are on the way out, so why did the SCRD purchase any?

If Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Lexus can no longer a�ord to build V-8 cars (at least, in large numbers, as mass-market models), then it’s a dead certainty GM, Ford and Chrysler won’t be able to, either, www.carad vice.com.au/188963/in�ni ti-nissan-v8-engines-way/

Doesn’t it make you won-der who is providing advice to our elected o�cials, and who is looking after the public purse?Vel Anderson, Gibsons

Representation for the Coast

Mr. John Weston and your compatriot Conser-vative MP’s:

I have a question that many of us have been pon-dering for some time now.

When did you and your fellow Conservative MPs decide to stop represent-

ing your constituents to the government and just start representing Harper, to us?

You have shown, in your actions (non actions) and non verbal communica-tion, that we the people, who you deem to represent, have been shunned by you and let go of, to do our own work to have our voices heard by the Harper gov-ernment in Ottawa.

You have put us in the precarious position of hav-ing to have our voices heard by other means. I do hope you are listening. If not, you are truly becoming a has- been to us.

You have been put on notice. Sikorskyi, Halfmoon Bay

Grow up, not grow old“�ere is a tide in the af-

fairs of men. Which, taken at the �ood, leads on to fortune...” Brutus speaking to Cassius in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar

Gibsons is at a crossroad – facing the choice of re-maining a charming beach-combing town or evolving into a town – strong and unique enough - to keep residents and young folk happy and here.

At an Open House on September 8, Klaus Fuerniss and his develop-ment team unveiled their plans for �e George. �ey proposed a new project of-fering the town an ocean-

front marine hotel, con-vention centre, restaurant, spa and condominiums. Construction would be consistent with the objec-tives of the OCP and aim for LEED Gold building standards.

Klaus Fuerniss is the man to launch the project. He has world-class experience and knowledge in the hospi-tality, hotel and convention industry. He is a long-time resident, an exceedingly generous supporter of town initiatives and is ready to commit to a visionary un-dertaking.

�e George can be re-garded as a coming-of-age symbol for �e Town of Gibsons, taking us into the real time of the 21st centu-ry, and providing a new sto-ry to replace the laurels we have clung to for decades.

Let’s avoid the shambles and collective shame that residents felt from the fall-out of the thwarted Shoal Bay Project. Let’s see this proposal as a gift. Let’s make the choice to grow up – not grow old!

I’m leaving the closing comment to Shakespeare’s Brutus. His words still ring powerful and relevant to the discussion afoot in the Town of Gibsons.

“On such a full sea are we now a�oat,

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults.

The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

More accountability, less ‘electrosmog’

I fully support water me-tering to conserve and bet-ter manage our precious water resources. However, I do not support the use of wireless technology to trans-mit the water use data. Our everyday lives are becoming more and more bombarded by electrosmog: cell phones, wireless internet, BC Hydro Smart Meters, and now utilities.

After researching studies from all sides of the debate, it is clear that we still do not know the long term, cumu-lative health e�ects of these forms of radiation, especial-ly on infants and children, whose cells are multiplying quickly. �ese are our fu-ture generations. �ere are indications of possible ad-verse e�ects, and we should be taking measures to avoid these risks.

I urge our local govern-ment to reconsider the use of wireless technology for water metering. Alternative wired solutions do exist, and are known to be reliable and cost e�ective. To not give citizens a choice on matters that could a�ect our health in and around our own homes is not democratic.Baeleay Callister,Halfmoon Bay

Habitat for Humanity celebrates 2 new homes

Habitat for Humanity is planning a spectacular

celebration to welcome the �rst two hard-working fam-ilies to their new homes in the Sunshine Coast Village.

“Seeing the morning sun come up over the treetops and light up the smiling

faces of Shelley McDade, CEO, Sunshine Coast Cred-it Union, and Ron Pepper, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity at Sunshine Coast Village was a perfect illustration of brilliant co-operation” said Deb Pepper, Public Relations Chair at Habitat for Humanity.

With the generous and ex-clusive sponsorship of Sun-shine Coast Credit Union, Habitat is now getting ready for their grand opening of Sunshine Coast Village in Wilson Creek on September 30, and a new beginning for Habitat families.

�e grand opening will

kick o� with the very popu-lar Bad to the Bow �ddlers and wind up with an hour-long performance by the spirited Billy Hillpickers bluegrass band.

�ere will be home tours, food trucks, balloons and entertainment for the chil-dren, along with welcome messages conveyed by Dis-trict of Sechelt Mayor John Henderson and other spe-cial guests. MarketPlace IGA, Wilson Creek, has generously o�ered to pro-vide free cake for everyone.

It is also a celebration of the dedication and loyalty of everyone who has helped in the site development, roads and services, and construc-tion over the last �ve years. �ere are a lot of generous and skilled people on the Coast who have made sig-ni�cant contributions, such as School District #46 ACE-IT program, the Telus Am-bassadors, Sechelt Plumb-ing, Wheeler Electric, Ross Concrete, Custom Carpets, Longman Developments, Lon’s Contracting and Crane Services, the Sun-shine Coast Builders’ Asso-ciation, Rona Madeira Park, Gibsons Building Supplies, Kenan MacKenzie and so many more. Also in atten-

dance will be representatives from previous sponsors and supporters such as the Royal Bank, Industrial-Alliance, Genworth Financial, Delta Hotels and BMO.

Sunshine Coast Credit Union’s CEO Shelly Mc-Dade says it best: “�is is an amazing example of the ripple e�ect at work in our community once again – people coming together to make good things happen. �e Coast is home to so many generous individu-

als and businesses giving the gift of time, donations of funds or supplying ma-terials. We’re very proud to be a part of this ripple and look forward to cele-brating with Habitat at its grand opening of Sunshine Coast Village.”

Habitat for Humanity built it’s �rst home on the Sunshine Coast in 2007. �is latest development has 7 duplexes. Although the �rst 2 are complete, there is a growing need to support

Habitat with it’s future en-deavours, as they have ex-perienced funding cuts over the last year. Donations would be greatly appreci-ated. You can also volunteer as a skilled worker on site, or help by putting in some time at the ReStore,

So come out with your family and friends and enjoy being a part of this momentous Habitat cel-ebration on Sunday, Sep-tember 30, from 12 Noon to 3:00 p.m.

Rescue drill at the Watermark

Fire�ghters Matt and Gera Gilroy along with other members of the Sechelt Fire Depart-ment (SFD) practiced several simulated rescue attempts at the Watermark in Sechelt. They utilised the crane as a support tool for the �rst time during these sessions.

Tip of the Week:� e � nal countdown to

December 21, 2012 has begun. � is date marks the end of a world age in Mayan Cosmology, which consists of 5,125 years. Multiplied by 5, this time period amounts to 25, 625 years, the dura-tion of the Precession of the Equinoxes. Some assert that this end and beginning point of the new cycle com-pletes a round of � ve world ages. � us, we are poised to begin an entirely new round of � ve cycles of 5,125 years. � e cycle begins and ends with the Winter Solstice. Our ancestors from all cul-tures always recognized and honoured the Solstices and Equinoxes because they were much more in-tune with the cycles of nature and these were intimately woven into the cosmologies and reli-gions of all people. Whether the approaching solstice purely marks a symbolic key date, o� cially marking the start of the large cycles men-tioned and/or whether it will coincide with earth changes, as some assert, remains to be seen. We will � nd out soon.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)A noticeable turn in

your love life is likely now. It could go either way, so look sharp. What do you desire and dream about? With passions sparking, you just might get some of your wishes granted. � en again, any unwanted combustibles would be best managed with full awareness lest sparks ig-nite � ames that burn. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Some passionate exchang-es are rocking your world. You are being approached by some real power players. No is unlikely to be the an-

swer they will accept. Mak-ing deliberate e� orts to meet these with equal fervor may require a certain adjustment of attitude and perhaps some extra creative thinking. See the silver lining through any dark clouds.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21

Something new is brew-ing close to home. � is is stirring creative insights of all kinds. You would like to color your world with new tones and hues. Making im-provements of some kind is the core theme. To achieve your goals, you are ready to take a few risks. You are in the mood to go big. Balance focus with � exibility; some unexpected turns are likely.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)You are seeing the world

with new eyes. Recent en-counters and perhaps some surprise intel are having def-inite a� ects. If you are open and willing, these stand to be real blessings. Sometimes our horizons broaden due to outer vistas and experi-ences, and sometimes from inner. Focus to allow these new perspectives to digest and be assimilated into your awareness.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Building upon new foun-

dations continues. A sober and pragmatic tone is wo-ven into your overall focus. Meeting new people and making new friends is a source of inspiration. Many new opportunities are linked to these connections. Travel is also featured and mixing business with plea-sure and adventure stands to be a big perk.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)� e urge to take key initia-

tives and explore new terri-tory continues. At worst, in-decision has arisen, perhaps due to a lack of clarity and vision. � is stands to be an expansive time in your life, yet you must be willing to make the necessary e� orts. � e time has come to bring

your ideas, visions and plans down to earth and to share them with the world.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Some major new initia-

tives are brewing in the back of your mind. Your ambitions are on the rise. You are preparing to launch your plans. Tapping the tal-ents and resources of others remains likely and ideal. Your willingness to make key investments may be necessary for success. Pay-ing o� old debts may also be required. Do what you must to truly succeed.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

With Saturn poised to enter your sign this week everyone will feel the shift, especially you. Expect a so-ber, serious and determined mood that has been gestat-ing to come to the fore. It may take until the next Full Moon to fully reveal itself, but it will. Already your fo-cus is getting sharper and you may feel the urge to make a few cuts to break free.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Approaching authority � gures for favours, earned re-wards and/or promotions is a current theme. If you feel the urge to do so, but have not yet, then this is your remind-er. Socializing with others to share and exchange ideas, visions and philosophies is featured. � e time has come to make some key changes in your lifestyle. Make your health a priority.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)Seeing a bigger picture

somehow has emerged in your life. It is likely that you have reached peaks over the past few years but have also had to endure the pressures of high altitude. Now, it is time to receive the rewards of your e� orts. Hopefully, you have been diligent and integral. � e quality of your e� orts is soon to be revealed.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Some rather deep chang-es are brewing. � ese are linked to new knowledge, instruction and/or training. A patient, humble and dili-gent attitude and approach is key to your success. All true rewards are earned. A deserving attitude can be healthy, yet feeling entitled without due diligence often leads to problems. Exercise a beginners mind.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Some important new be-

ginnings in your relationship life have been seeded. Your personal, professional and social spheres are all being ac-tivated. Success requires that you take a more creative and re� ned approach than you have previously. Diversifying your approach somehow is ideal. Identify your spectrum of talents and opportunities.

After all the solar system activity of the spring–

conjunctions, eclipses and transits – the autumn sky o� ers more sedate views of our own Milky Way galaxy. Uranus and Nep-tune present distant planet hunting opportunities. For those seeking asteroids, there’s Pallas.

� e best views of Jupiter

and Venus are in the south-eastern early morning sky. Looking to the east, at dawn on October 3, Venus will pass by Leo’s brightest star, Regulus creating a tempo-rary double star.

Uranus and asteroid Pal-las can be found low in the southern sky. Uranus, a faint greenish dot, will trav-el below Pisces, and below Uranus, the asteroid Pallas can be seen.

Neptune is a distinct blue

colour, located adjacent to Aquarius below 38 Aquarii and appears stationary in October due to its retro-grade motion.

Mars can be viewed in the low southwest sky, with bin-oculars aimed toward An-tares in Scorpius. Just before dawn on October 18 is the ideal time to catch a glimpse of Mars before it sinks below the horizon.

� e highlight of this sea-son is the expansive view

of the Milky Way with best viewing during the new moon on October 15. � e Milky Way has something for every observer; from arm-chair gazing, to power-ful telescopes. But the best experience is too simply scan the Milky Way using a pair of binoculars.

� e Royal Astronomi-cal Society AGM is Friday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Arts Center in Sechelt.

I am a strong advocate for Port wine. I especially love the history of it’s ori-gins which came about quite politically. When Britain declared war on France in the late 1700s it also cut o� their supply of French wine, Mon Dieu! What to do? Mend French fences? Mais Non! Find an alternate source. O� they went to wine-friendly Portugal for a new supply. New problem – how to get the wine to Britain by ship without spoiling? Solu-tion – splash in a couple of buckets of brandy to stop the fermentation process and preserve the wine,

A study of Port wine The � rst in a series…

thus cementing a life-long bond between Portugal and Britain, based on for-ti� ed wine. I can’t think of a better reason.

In this, the � rst chapter in the study of Port, I’d like to introduce the lesser known, sometimes slightly misunderstood younger sister of the Port world, white Port.

It’s made exactly the same way as its more wide-ly known brother, red Port except with white grapes. Not only is it beautiful served chilled or room temperature, but it can also be made into a de-lightful cocktail ‘Portonic.’

Portonic is made tall with one-third white Port, one-third tonic water and one-third soda. Serve on ice with a sprig of mint and voila! (or velada! in Portuguese).

White Port is lovely served with salted almonds or liver paté.Taylor Fladgate Fine White BCLDB$21.99

Dear DarlaDear Darla,

I recently hosted a ladies-only luncheon. We try to do this every month. Our custom is for the host to bake something, which I did. I pulled out my world’s best apple pie reci-pe handed down from my grandmother. It was a real hit and the luncheon went � ne with everyone having a great time.

� e problem is that one of the ladies (let’s call her ‘Gwen’) saw the recipe for my apple pie on a side counter and copied it. I know because I caught her in the act! I diplomatically approached Gwen later at the luncheon and asked her

what she had been writing down in my kitchen and she said something like, “Oh, I just remembered a job I wanted to give my husband, and wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget.”

I believe she is lying, but I don’t know what to do. Should I tell the other la-dies about what I suspect, or should I forget about it? And what if she uses the recipe and claims it as her own? � at would really irk me! � is whole fan-dangle is actually keeping me up at night. Apple Pie Annie

Dear Apple Annie,Coming from a long line

of recipe sharers, it’s dif-� cult for me to truly wrap my head around your di-lemma. Instead, let’s look at the alternate problem of feeling that someone may have stepped past a privacy

boundary in the form of recipe thievery. � ere are a couple of scenarios to con-sider. You could actually in-sist on seeing the contents of her purse. Assault charg-es aside, what if you were to � nd nothing more than a note to Horace, insist-ing that he � x that damn leaky faucet, already! Alter-natively, you may actually � nd the recipe that would cause embarrassment to the woman and uncomfortable feelings all around. Really, is it worth it?

I think you’re going to have to take the high road here and turn the other hot buttered bun. Of course, the next time the county fair rolls around and they’re handing out the ribbons… get next to her pastry o� er-ings and keep your eye on the pies.

But hey! � at’s just my opinion.

Feeling pie-eyed at the luncheon

Science-� ction, especial-ly humans versus aliens

movies, are a huge money-maker in Hollywood these days. � ey seem to have splashy special a� ects, but little wit or soul. Not so for Attack the Block and Chron-icle. Both use low budgets, new directors and a consid-erable amount of genius to produce engaging, socially conscious stories.

Attack the Block is set in working-class South London where aggressive, newly-landed aliens en-counter equally angry teen gangs and thugs. � e di-rector manages to build an exciting, often funny story with scary/cool aliens and remarkable anti-heroes without diminishing the

Humans vs aliens continues to draw…

message about the follies of gang life. It’s full of great music too.

Chronicle examines what could happen if a superpower, in this case telekinesis, was given to three average high-school seniors. Set in Seattle this � lm mixes action, humour and drama successfully with an underpinning of social commentary. For those who already love sci-� or for those who of-ten justi� ably dismiss it as trivial, we like this one.
