community flocks to covered bridgeTwo Rivers Festival celebrates cultural landmark

Laura casteLLani

The rushing currents of a river can be recognized in many dif-ferent places. They are invoked in ecological messages, they speak words as pieces of natural his-tory, they foster an environment for recreational activity, and they are cultural landmarks. It was this message that resonated through the Two Rivers festival celebra-tion as the Guelph community crowded around the local boat-house to celebrate the many facets of the eramosa and Speed Rivers.

The celebratory event was hosted by the Wellington Water Watchers, a local group advocating for the protection of local water resources. one event of the eve-ning drew attention to the 20th anniversary of Guelph’s iconic covered bridge. The building of

the bridge and the significance it held for community members was fondly recalled by local council-lor Gloria Kovach, who credited andy Golding and Gus Stohlman as instrumental in successfully fa-cilitating the bridge project.

“an excitement and exuber-ance filled the community during the bridge building project. It was a momentous reflection of

community spirit at that time,” said Kovach.

The bridge remains a symbol of connection among communities. Physically it is a well used trea-sure connecting nature trails in Guelph to the bustle of the city streets that also serves as a symbol of the national efforts coordinated to successfully achieve the build. In celebration of the bridge, a play was performed on the water. It coordinated the efforts of on-land musicians James Gordon and Tanya Williams with canoeists navigating the rivers and dancers performing scenes from within the boats. It was the same play performed upon completion of the bridge in 1992.

In addition to the anniversary of the covered bridge, the Two Riv-ers festival event aimed to capture the importance of appreciating renewable resources and the re-sponsibility communities have to protect and preserve local water systems.

Local musician and former ecol-ogy professor at the University of Guelph, Doug Larson Jenikz used the story telling ability of his songs to recognize the potent ability of nature to link individu-als. one such song, “River Walls” identifies the ability of water to be universally understood as an essential element linking all individuals.

“We have good water. It’s in the ground. Now we need to learn how to make good use of it”, Je-nikz shared.

The event, enjoyed by children and adults of all ages and interests, was made possible by the efforts of more than 50 volunteers helping

run activities and support event organizers.

The Covered Bridge’s 20th anniversary and the Two Rivers Celebration evening was part of the Two Rivers festival, which ran June 10-17. The series of events was intended to foster a sense

of community and appreciation centred around the local rivers. Planning of the festival was initi-ated in the fall when a small group of 14 individuals desired to cele-brate the city of Guelph’s natural abundance and celebrate the abil-ity to relearn to live locally.

need to learn how to make

over 3,300 honoured at u of g convocationGraduates receive words of wisdom and thanks from Canadian cultural leaders

tom Beedham

“It is hard to believe all the years of hard work and sacrifice have paid off,” Rick Mercer joked in his con-vocation address to University of Guelph graduates on Jun. 11. “We have finally graduated – oh wait that’s you.”

Mercer, who stars on CBC’s sa-tirical news program This Hour Has 22 Minutes and The Mercer Report was awarded for his ad-vocacy of social issues including youth voting and environmental sustainability.

The TV personality thanked U of G students for reviving his faith in politics. following an infamous Rant segment that Mercer gave about Canadian political parties’ tendencies to take youth for grant-ed, Mercer was pleased last year to learn of a vote mob organized by U of G students Yvonne Su and Gracen Johnson.

The vote mob was inspired by Mercer’s Rant and organized spe-cifically to deliver the message that youth would be voting in the com-ing election and to challenge other schools to organize themselves in similar ways.

“It was tremendous,” Mercer said.

Mercer was among over 3,300

U of G graduates and 10 honorary degree recipients between Jun. 11 and 15 at the U of G’s convocation ceremonies in War Memorial Hall.

also a recipient of an honorary degree was Canadian environ-mentalist David Suzuki. His words were markedly more cautionary.

“This is the moment that you must apply your minds and your energy to find solutions to the great challenges that confront us today,” Suzuki said.“If we contin-ue to say that our highest priorities are economic and political then we will maintain our destructive path.”

Tony arrell, George Cohon, Stanley Coren, Ian Dohoo, Moti-lal Madan, Sylvia Maracle, John McDermott, Wendy Swedlove also received honorary degrees over the five day span of ceremonies.

The ceremonies were also used as an opportunity to officially install Canadian theatre producer David Mirvish as chancellor of the Uni-versity of Guelph.

Mirvish encouraged students to use what they have learned to deal with the new and unforeseeable difficulties that will face them in the future.

“While you will be faced with challenges going forward, be-cause of your experiences here at this university, I believe you will be successful in meeting those challenges,” Mirvish said. “With some knowledge, we are brave enough to attempt what people with too much knowledge fear to

do…do not fear failure. I do not believe that anyone who has ever

succeeded has not experienced failure along the way.”

album review: Beach House, Bloomstacey aspinaLL

Just in time for the hazy days of summer, Baltimore-based duo Beach House have released their new album, Bloom (May 15, Sub Pop Records). It delivers the dis-tinctive dream-pop sound they have perfected throughout con-sistently stellar releases, including their self-titled debut (2006), De-votion in 2008, and their critically praised third studio album Teen Dream of 2010.

Some may feel that this album picked up where Teen Dream left

off, without much variation from the musical aesthetic of their previous work. However, this approach has worked in the past and continues to produce great re-sults. Bloom features enigmatic, ambiguous lyrics. Victoria Le-grand’s heavy voice adds depth and a sense of gravitas to the lay-ered sounds of alex Scully’s guitar and keyboards.

Bloom deals with themes such as the vagueness of human relation-ships, and lucid observations of the natural world; the line “visions of a feeling,” in the song “New Year”

captures this impression. Bloom builds and swells to emotion-al highs and falls to melancholic lulls, creating a dreamy yet dys-phoric soundscape.

In an interview with Pitchfork, the duo expressed concerns that their music would be appreciated superficially for its ‘sound’ or the atmosphere their music evokes, rather than appreciating the album in its entirety, as a complex work of art in its own right.

The band has received com-mercial attention recently; they declined offers to display Bloom

in Starbucks, and they were ap-proached by Volkswagon ad execs who wanted to license one of their songs. Weary of corporate en-dorsement, they declined, but the advertisement instead features a song suspiciously similar to their 2010 song “Take Care,” emulating their distinctive sound, causing controversy among fans who feel the band was plagiarized.

Standout tracks include the opening song and first single,

“Myth,” as well as “Lazuli,” and “on The Sea.” Beach House have set tour dates in europe for June

and are currently planning a US tour starting in July.

from east to exit rocks Jimmy Jazz The band launches new album under Steady Hands

nick revington & coLLeen mcdoneLL

Guelph was treated to a perfor-mance by from east To exit at the Jimmy Jazz this past Thursday, in support of their new album Low-banks. The show was not just launching the new record, but also their label, Steady Hands, as well. The new Guelph-based independent label currently represents from east To exit as well as Pure Joy.

The record is being released on 12” vinyl and CD as well as through digital download. The CD format is packaged in true Guelph fashion: it is locally hand-assembled from 100% recycled cardboard.

The Steady Hands website describes the band as, “good old-fashioned rock and roll, delivered in a way that is uniquely modern, and great to dance to,” and this simple phrase captures their album perfectly. Upbeat and driving, the first thing one notices through the opening bars of track one, “Hold

on,” is the classic feel that perme-ates the whole album.

Lead singer/guitarist Jon Charles’s gently rolling vocal mel-odies lend a perfect counterbalance to Jamie anderson’s dazzling and frenetic drumming, while Brad Piper’s steady bass lines hold the two together. even through slow-er songs, the fuzzy guitar tones, crisp bass work, and clean drum-ming crackle with life and feeling.

In much the same way that the Black Keys have been able to make retro-styled blues rock seem fresh, from east To exit manages to bring their own renewing perspective on straight-up rock and roll (inciden-tally, Lowbanks was one of the last albums recorded at the legendary Chemical Sound Studios in Toron-to, where the Black Keys have also recorded, along with Born Ruffi-ans and Tokyo Police Club, bands Charles lists as major influences).

“I have always admired [from east To exit’s] music. They do things the way bands used to do. Like [putting] time and effort into their writing and rehearsing, get-ting every little detail,” said Steady Hands co-founder alex Ricci, add-ing that the band has also played a

supportive role in getting the label off the ground.

Steady Hands was founded several months ago, and is a col-lective community of members contributing artwork, photogra-phy, promotion, and production

knowledge. What the label aims to do is promote bands from South-ern ontario that might otherwise go unnoticed.

“I think there’s been something missing. There’s a lot of folk music that’s done really well, a lot of

electronic music, but everything in between sometimes gets [left] on the fringes. I want to find that music and show it to people who want to hear it,” said Ricci.

Steady Hands plans to release Pure Joy’s album later this year.

artifacts of the everyday: guide to gardeningseamus ogden

Last Spring it occurred to me that if I did not learn gardening – spe-cifically how to grow food – that I would be lying to myself. Let me explain the logic: I thought it dis-honest and irresponsible not to respect that I depend on the yearly cycles of seasons that bring growth and death, shortage and plenty. I wondered what claim I had to Be at all if I did not acquaint myself closely with the very process by which I am and continue to Be.

Upon reflection, this is most-ly (typical) stubborn drama. But there is something to it.

When we detach ourselves from

the necessary processes that con-stitute the husbandry of living things, we risk dangerously failing to recognize a kindred vulnerabil-ity in our own living selves. If we commit to a garden, we give our-selves over to time, beauty, trust, labour, and care. We might find ourselves in the garden as we sus-tain ourselves with the garden.

Now, for those who wish to begin gardening, the first step in the artifacts’ Method of Raising Veg is to sit with your seeds and really think of what they will be-come. Those tiny specks will soon burst into shoots of lettuce! Try to reacquaint yourself with your childhood awe at the impossibility

of this everyday feat. How does a seed hold within itself all that it will become? How do you?

Now enter the garden.about this time last year I

made all the necessary purchas-es, skimmed over the collected wisdom of gardening books, and finally stumbled half-assed into the yard, tardy and whining like an old mule. I tried my hand.

Gardening, like a good life, is a little work and a lot of waiting. one thing Beckett made clear in his play Waiting for Godot (which has nothing to do with garden-ing) was that those who wait are an odd bunch. These days, to ori-ent yourself in time in that curious

way called waiting is a much-too-rare pastime. To wait is to search, to ask a question, to be a question. and what do you find in the gar-den? You find yourself in the dirt, of course.

Notice that soil, the stuff of the long dead bound to broken earth. This common grave is also the site of little green births and begin-nings. Soil is a history that gently holds those who need to grow, to rise. It lets the living take their stand. It lets the dying fall soft-ly. It is a church of noble defeat, of last gasps. You will kneel upon and wash your hands in it, until sweat gathers on your forehead as the sun climbs and the sunflowers

turn for feeding time. Notice how that perfect sun only

gives. What an impossible feat. It will not, it cannot, take. It suffers this stubborn purity as constant and fierce self-destruction. It is the only worthy metaphor for a creator God.

and lastly (but rarely), garden-ers, notice yourselves. Who are you? What is your role in this pro-cess, this happening of life? You gently guide, you set a few condi-tions, you observe, husband, and care. But you are not the agents, you have no real control. You are witnesses to a mystery that sus-tains you. You are artists.

The Pop machine: The Prometheus suggestiontom Beedham

sPoiler alert: this entire column is basically one, long spoiler.

Understanding only that it was the movie that Ridley Scott insisted wasn’t a prequel to Alien (I had not seen Alien or any of its subsequent sequels by that point) even though fans were sure of the opposite, I went to a theatre and watched Pro-metheus with a couple of friends. I left the megaplex with mixed emo-tions. I felt cheated for listening to roughly two hours of bad (read: horrible) dialogue and a soundtrack that detracted from practically every moment that was supposed to be suspenseful, but the philo-sophical suggestions of the movie were enough to make me watch the rest of the Alien movies (which has so far included everything but Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, if you count the AVP crossovers).

Perhaps what makes the Alien movies – a category I include Pro-metheus I don’t know what Scott was talking about – so great is the way that they operate within the

sci-fi/horror genre.In the Alien franchise, humans

encounter parasites that hatch from egg-like objects only to fasten themselves to human faces and render their hosts unconscious. The parasites die, alien creatures rapidly grow inside their vic-tims’ chests, killing their hosts by bursting out of their ribcages and turning into gigantic, scary bug-reptile-alien-things.

Mine might have been an overly generous viewing, but the Alien franchise offers that anyone – regardless of gender – can give the gift of life, and at the same time it’s a horrifying story of human vulner-ability. as a consequence, the Alien films offer their genre a nuanced vision of sex and gender modes.

as film genres, horror and sci-fi are not favourable to female char-acters. They frequently frame them as damsels in distress and dress them down to make them seem like bodacious prizes that serve little more (if any) purpose than to be won by male characters, the latter of which are often fetishized versions of masculinity drawn up

to engage the identity fantasies of male viewers. When they are granted power, female charac-ters are often displayed as femme fatales. Here, unlike the power-ful male characters displayed in sci-fi and horror, strong female characters appear generated less out of catering to female audiences’ personality aspirations and more out of the interests of male sexual fantasies.

With respect to these repeated modes within the genres, the Alien franchise has always come as a breath of fresh air. Prometheus goes a step further.

While the majority of potential suspense material in Prometheus is poor, there is one scene that could be the best in all of the fran-chise: Scott gives Alien audiences something new – an (attempted) abortion scene. When archaeologist elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) is impregnated by an alien offspring, she desperately uses an automated surgery machine to perform an ad hoc C-section (her machine was intended for male patients only). If the male viewers quivering and

kicking the backs of the seats in front of them (myself included) at the theatres were any indications, it is a moment of superbly executed body horror and haunting visceral

stimulation, hammering home the ethical proposal that female characters are infinitely more than passive vessels for male creation and emotional stereotypes.

ecstasy deemed “safe” by Bc top health officialClaims pure ecstasy no more dangerous than alcohol; problems stem from chemical additives and lack of regulation

stacey aspinaLL

It is known by its various nick-names: “e,” “x,” “lover’s speed,”

“the love drug,” “Molly,” and as a rave or club drug. What it’s rarely known as is “safe.” But B.C.‘s Pro-vincial Health officer, Dr. Perry Kendall, has recently claimed that methylenedioxymethamphetamine, commonly known as MDMa or ec-stasy, may be safe in its pure form.

Health Canada explains ecstasy as a street drug made in illegal labs, with stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. It is usually sold in tab-let, capsule or powder form. But the quality of the illegal drug is ques-tionable, as tablets may contain substances ranging from household detergents to caffeine, metham-phetamine, LSD, or PCP.

When Dr. Perry Kendall was asked in an interview whether taking a correct dosage of MDMa under strict controls could be safe, he re-plied “absolutely.” He then went on to explain that alcohol, an “in-herently dangerous” substance, is legally accessible, implying that similar controls could be used to

distribute ecstasy safely to the public, thus avoiding dangerous contaminants.

Dr. Kendall explains that prob-lems arise when the street drug is contaminated with other substances.

“Most of the samples of what is passed off as MDMa [the original chemical used in ecstasy] on the street is of really unknown quality, unknown purity, unknown dose and is almost guaranteed to be con-taminated with a variety of other drugs like PCP, ketamine or meth-amphetamines. So it’s potentially dangerous,” Dr. Perry Kendall is quoted as saying.

The National Post reported in february of 2012 that over the past year, there have been 19 deaths in B.C. and 12 in alberta related to ec-stasy overdoses. Thirteen of those deaths have been linked to a bad batch of ecstasy which was mixed with paramethoxymethampheta-mine (PMMa), a toxic chemical aptly nicknamed “Doctor Death” which is five times more toxic than ecstasy.

However, there are various risks associated with ecstasy in its pure form. according to Health Cana-da, ecstasy travels to the brain from the bloodstream and causes the release of neurotransmitter sero-tonin, which affects sleep, mood and appetite. The effects of ecstasy are different for everyone, making it a highly unpredictable drug. It typically produces a sense of eu-phoria, energy and confidence. It

causes an increase in body temper-ature, which can be deadly when combined with other factors such as physical activity and a warm en-vironment (e.g. dancing at a club). However, developing a physical de-pendence to the drug is rare.

The RCMP in B.C. asserts that no amount of the substance is safe for consumption. Synthetic drugs such as ecstasy are made in clan-destine labs with a mixture of toxic chemicals assembled in bathtubs and basements. There is no qual-ity control, and they are mainly produced by people with connec-tions to organised crime. The RCMP have issued warnings to educate the public about dangers of synthetic drugs and launched the Synthetic Drug Initiative (SDI) in 2008, which aims at prevention, deterrence and enforcement.

at a news conference in february 2012, Chief Barry McKnight, freder-icton Police Service, and Co-Chair of the Drug abuse Committee warned the public of the dangers related to the drug.

“Dismantling these drug labs present real dangers to police and other emergency service workers as well as Canadians living around these properties,” said McKnight.

“The sole objective of these crimi-nal groups is to make money and they care nothing about the safety in making or using these drugs.”

Dr. Perry Kendall’s controver-sial claim regarding the “safety” of

ecstasy has made national head-lines and ignited controversy; indeed, most research emphasis-es the dangers of this substance, whether in diluted or pure form. However, recently Kendall spoke to CTV news to clarify his stance on the drug. He insists that his views have been misrepresent-ed in the media, when parts of a lengthy interview were taken out of context. “I’d just like to clarify

that I am not advocating for the legalisation of ecstasy or its dis-tribution from government liquor store-type outlets,” Kendall told CTV news.

However, Kendall did state the need for a re-evaluation of how the government deals with vari-ous substances, telling CTV news,

“It’s time for a conversation on how we regulate some drugs and pro-hibit others.”

Health officials are debating the safety of ecstasy after B.c. Provincial Health officer Dr. Perry kendall recently claimed it could be “safe” in its pure form.

adWatch: nike tweetstom Beedham

The United Kingdom’s advertising Standards authority (aSa) is saying you can’t “just do it” to a new Nike campaign making use of Twitter.

The decision came after football (that’s the one we call “soccer” over here) players from Manchester United and arsenal posted tweets that failed to meet guidelines for

“transparent” ad practices.The intervention began after the

aSa received a complaint about the two tweets earlier in the year. Nike had asked Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney and arsenal’s Jack Wilshire to post about their “make it count” campaign to their Twit-ter followers.

“My resolution - to start the year as a champion, and finish it as a champion...#makeitcount gonike.me/makeitcount,” Rooney tweet-ed to over four million followers on Jan. 1. While the specific Nike cam-paign has been banned from the micro-blog and social networking platform, Rooney’s tweet remains

visible on his Twitter account.“In 2012, I will come back for my

club - and be ready for my country gonike.me/Makeitcount,” Wilshire posted. His account has since been deactivated for unrelated reasons.

Claiming that the messages were not overtly “identifiable as market-ing communications,”the aSa has said that the tweets conflict with the aSa’s duty to “keep UK ads legal, honest, and truthful.”

Nike contested the decision, pointing out that the presence of their web address and a hashtag with their campaign slogan was enough to distinguish it from per-sonal posts by the athletes.

Coming as the first time the aSa has ever acted against a campaign using Twitter as a platform, the de-cision will serve as a landmark case.

as a marketing platform, social media is one of the top resources companies are pursuing today. Nike is anything but the only company using ad campaigns that blur the lines between traditional adver-tising and regular communication,

but by making a company of its size discontinue the practice, the aSa is making a pointed example of what

it will not tolerate. and in a realm where authenticity is often waived to sell a product, that’s good news

for those of us that just want to know who it is that’s making the suggestions.

Hitting the ground runningSubaru triathlon series at Guelph Lake hosts over 2000 athletes

Laura casteLLani

Swim. Bike. Run. It was the man-tra of more than 2000 athletes who converged on the shore of Guelph Lake to compete in Canada’s most popular endurance event of the Subaru racing series.

The 26th annual two-day event, better known as Guelph one, was the third of eight multisport races to be held this summer in ontario, known collectively as the Subaru Tri-Series. Boasting three streams of races varying in length, Guelph one was structured to appeal to a broad audience of competitors, ranging in age from 14 to 81 as well as in ability and experience.

event organizers were quick to appreciate the unique collec-tion of participants gathered for the weekend at the conservation area ready to perform. “Some par-ticipants are elite level athletes looking for a competitive outlet while others come for the person-al satisfaction and gratification of finishing their race,” said Dave Mucyk, an event organizer.

The first event to take the spot-light Saturday morning was the

“Try-a-Tri”, a variation triathlon requiring participants to complete a 375m swim, a 10km bike course and a two kilometre run to the fin-ish line. Shorter than the afternoon Sprint Triathalon and Duathlon

races the morning Try-a-Tri was geared towards first-time par-ticipants and those looking to complete a shorter course. The race was also sanctioned as a quali-fying event for elite youth athletes, 15 and 16 years of age hoping to se-cure an available wildcard position to travel to the ontario Summer Games this august. although the qualifying process was initiated last summer, some spots remained available on the team of six boys and nine girls who will compete in the triathlon event august 18 at Professor Lake in Brampton. The winner of the Try-a-Tri compe-tition and first to cross the finish line for the day was Guelph native, Willem Quosai who had previously qualified for the ontario Summer Games.

The Guelph one action contin-ued into the afternoon as several athletes participated in the Sprint category of races including a bike-run duathlon involving a two kilometre run, a 20km bike and a five kilometre run, won by David frake of Toronto in 0:55:29 as well as a Sprint Triathlon.

Guelph local and seasoned tri-athlete David Sharratt was the first place finisher in the Sprint triath-lon, swimming 750km, biking 20km and running five kilome-tre in 1:01:29. Crossing the finish line Sharratt stated “That was for Jerry”, referring to Jerry freisen, a known figure in the sport who recently passed away. The moving gesture captured the true dichot-omy reflected in the event – the

drive of competition matched with the camaraderie of the rac-ing community.

While the air of focused deter-mination was palpable on course as participants transitioned from wetsuits to mounted bikes then seamlessly from bike to foot, driv-en not to add any unnecessary time, the tone at the finish line was a communal sense of celebra-tion. award ceremonies held at the end of the races recognized the top-finishers in each of the age and gender categories and fellow competitors offered enthusiastic congratulations.

Sunday debuted the first olym-pic length race of the Subaru series. Duathalon winner florian ong of Kitchener completed the two kilo-metre run, 40km bike course and 10km run in a time of 1:51:06 while the olympic Triathon, consisting of a one-and-a-half kilometre swim, a 40km bike course and a 10km run was won by Len Gushe of Mattawa in a time of 1:54:29.

Guelph one also extended be-yond the tri-sport community, acknowledging the help of approx-imately 120 volunteers, including local highschool students, soc-cer teams and a Scouts program. also involved in the organizing process were the event sponsors including Subaru Canada, Mer-rell barefoot running, Cervalo, aC Vikings, Powerbar, Polair, Lakota, Gatorade and Pepsi.

The Subaru series will continue holding events throughout ontario during the summer season, ending

with a second event held at the Guelph Lake Conservation area, marked on calendars as Guelph Two. The event is scheduled for

Sept. first and will consist of a Try-a-Tri and Sprint Duathlon and Triathlon races.

over 2000 athletes competed at Guelph lake from Jun. 16-17 for a weekend-long triathlon series.

making a four course summer meal – part twoaBigeL Lemak

This is the second part of my four course summer meal series. for the first part, visit The ontarion online or check the last issue!

Third course: EntreeStuffed peppers with smoked provolone

for summer entrees you want to keep it light and flavorful. The roasted red peppers offer that wonderful meat texture without any of the heaviness that would accompany, let’s say, a steak. It’s super easy to pull this one together, so don’t freak out.

Serves one pepper per person.

Ingredients:-1 onion chopped-2 ontario red, yellow or orange peppers (make sure they can sit upright on their own)

-1 cup cooked wild rice-1/2 pound ground meat (i used pork, but you can substitute with whatever)

-1 small can of tomato sauce-handful of chopped sundried tomatoes/chopped portobel-lo mushrooms (for texture and flavour)

-pinch of salt, pepper-1/2 tbsp rubbed basil-1/2 tbsp oregano-2 slices of smoked provolo-ne (any melty cheese will do obviously)

-oil

How to:Set the oven to 400f.Wash the peppers and cut off the tops, make it pretty because you’ll be using them later. also be sure to get all of the seeds out of the peppers. In some cultures finding seeds in pepper dishes is consid-ered a bad omen. Just saying.

In a large bowl mix the ground meat, egg, spices and the cooked rice.

In a large frying pan add some oil, a chopped onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. once the onions are sauteed, add in the rice-meat mixture and fry for three to four minutes, until partially cooked. add in the tomato sauce, give it a good stir and leave for another minute.

Place the topless peppers in a pan (cast iron works best or a grill)

and stuff them with the pork-rice mixture.

Put them in the oven for 20 minutes. Make sure to check in periodically as you may want to rotate your peppers in order to blacken evenly. Don’t worry, this is the good kind of burning – but don’t overdo it.

Take the pan out and add the slices of cheese on top of the pep-pers, and place the tops on the pan beside the peppers to scorch for a bit.

Put them back in the oven for five minutes on broil.

Serve one pepper per guest, allow some time to cool before serving.

enjoy!!

Fourth course: DessertProfiteroles with blackberries and cream

Profiteroles, or cream puffs, are a delicious and lightweight dessert that will surely impress. They take no time at all and are incredibly versatile in what you serve them with. Be it chocolate sauce, car-amel or freshly whipped cream, these little guys are the perfect way to end any dinner occasion. or simply gorge alone on the couch.

You seriously need to make this and stop staring at the picture.

Ingredients:-1 cup of all-purpose flour-2 whole free range eggs-1/4 cup unsalted butter -1 cup of milk (i used almond milk)-1 tsp of vanilla extract-whipped cream-berries-salt

How to:Set oven to 400f. Grease a baking tray and set aside.

In a deep pan, heat the milk to just before a boil and add in the salt, butter and vanilla. once the butter melts, turn the heat down and add in the flour all at once, stirring the mixture together furiously with a wooden spoon until smooth.

once you’ve mixed it togeth-er nicely take it off the heat and add in the two eggs, one at a time mixing constantly. You want to make sure the egg doesn’t cook before you’ve incorporated it into the dough.

once you’ve mixed both eggs in put the pan back on the stove,

give it another mix for a smooth dough ball.

Take off heat and with two spoons, scoop in small walnut sized portions one inch apart on a pan and set in the oven for twen-ty minutes.

Stick a toothpick or fork in one to make sure it’s cooked. If it comes out clean and dough-less, it’s ready for eating. Set aside on a cooling rack and cut a small slit on the side of each profiterole.

fill with cream (once cooled com-pletely), top with berries and serve.

Fourth course dessert consists of cream puffs with whipped cream and berries.

inordinate ordnance chris carr

one day, while earth’s population will be in the throws of production and consumption (more the latter than the former), life will quietly and unceremoniously end. oh, it will be a ceremony for us, but only for us, unfortunately. We will be the proverbial tree and the un-occupied woods, felled and died without nary the whisper. In thou-sands of years unknown, sentient creatures will land on earth, exca-vate our pots and pans, our houses and cars and our computers. They will make assumptions – calcu-lated guesses – about the life of us earthlings.

one of the things we will invari-ably find are records of our idols

– the people we now currently re-vere and send worship to in the form of money and love. They will study a society who read devo-tionals from the books of TMZ and entertainment tonight. our lit-erature will be overwhelmingly idiot-centric, littered with facts on Kardashian tweets and pictures of countless “leaked” nude pictures

of our idols. We are the followers of the pop machines, the plastic classes, the malignancy heiress design. We are true Beliebers. It’s a candied culture, created and served, easily digested, from a wide-mouth can.

I think about how my grand-mother used to spend hours on her scrapbooks, diligently taping, gluing and stitching the history of our family together, one manila page at a time. To her, this was our history. Those myriad little books she slaved over would tell the story of Us (note the capital-ization) to future generations of unknown people she already loved. Now, my facebook time line does the work in a fraction of the time. It will forever stand as a tomb-stone to my life, denoting, “Here was Chris’ life. Here are his friends. Here’s what he thought about the avengers movie. Try New Pepsi .5, only half a calorie, and less stom-ach cancer!”

This is not a revelation. at least, I hope it isn’t. all the information tweeted, updated and “liked” will stand as a testament of the human

race, either by our descendents or by visitors from other planets. It’s a humbling thought I hope others have had. However, every day I see evidence to the contrary litter-ing my facebook feed. “oMfG!!! Leaked pics of Snooki, on a Stair-master, naked, burning Kissinger books. U gotta see this. LoLoLo-LoL!!!!1!” for example.

The point is, is that this is un-acceptable. every time I get a streak of creativity, when I feel like creating something beauti-ful, something original, something positive, that could affect the world for the better, I get struck with this feeling of dread. This dread comes from the counter-balance that is this aforementioned candied cul-ture. for every word written, line drawn or canvas painted, Kim Kar-dashian will tweet about her vapid stupidity and get paid $10000 for the nuisance of moving around her over-privileged thumbs. for every independent film that asks questions and criticizes civil so-ciety, JWoWW goes up a cup size. for every song written about love and sorrow, one hundred songs

are “written” about sweating on the opposite, inebriated sex.

I’m not anti-fun, I’m an-ti-stupid. I say everything in moderation, especially modera-tion. However, the emphasis has shifted from progressive, ground breaking entertainment and art to the reiteration of proven formu-las, spoon fed to the stagnation nation of guidos and guidettes. I used to think that people watched these shows/people because it was a lot like going to a freak show or watching pandas at the zoo—they don’t do much, but they are kind of funny. But this cannot be completely true since ed Hardy is a millionaire, “music” is no lon-ger a part of Music Television and Snooki is a number one selling au-thor. If that last fact isn’t a sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what possibly could be, short of Kate Gosselin being elected policy maker for social services.

I refuse to leave such a legacy. What about the prose of Heming-way? and the forward thinking of greats like Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking and Douglas adams? How

much danger are the Kardashians to the memories of Stephen fry, Woody Guthrie, Julius Caesar, fer-ris Bueller and oscar the Grouch? These are great people. I fear the current fascination may actually undue the work of these people. Mixed with the ease of information of social networking, the idolatry of stupidity and what we will cer-tainly leave behind, how can you not see this as a threat? all I ask is that maybe instead of leaving a leg-acy worth 140 characters, use that space to point the reader toward something worth a life’s work.

chains and Thingsat what point does creativity be-come discriminatory? Critics were appalled by the new JS Round-house Mid adidas shoes designed by renowned american fashion designer Jeremy Scott, saying that the shackle-like orange plastic cuff was reminiscent of slavery and therefore racist. Yet Scott’s celebrity is based off of his eccentric designs, and adidas as-sured critics that the shoes were

“nothing more than the design-er’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery”. Scott says that the inspirations for his designs are taken from cartoons, toys and his childhood. The JS Roundhouse Mid sneakers in particular were inspired by a furry toy called My Pet Monster.

The shoes were being pro-moted under the slogan “Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles.” The

picture of the shoe was revealed on facebook for the first time, and received over 35,000 likes

on facebook. However, many commentators were less than impressed. Numerous accounts of people threatening to abandon

the adidas company were found with the pictures on facebook. one man stated, “I for one will NeVeR don another pair of adidas if these shoes see the light of day in the sneaker market.” after receiving such negative feedback, adidas apologized for having offended their audience and decided to withdraw their plans to make the JS Round-house Mid sneakers available in the marketplace.

The response to the cancel-lation of the sneakers has been surprising. While the few who took offence to the design rest easy, many outspoken com-mentators have shown their concern about the interpretation of chains, shackles and bracelets in general as being racist, insist-ing that anyone who views the shoes as racist is merely creating a problem that does not exist.

In a comment to the National

Post’s coverage of the story, one man exclaimed, “should I be afraid to chain my boat to an anchor because it might remind somebody of slavery”? It is these situations in which we find our-selves every day. Both parties make valid points. It is difficult for a designer to foresee the reac-tion to his creations, and for him to take into consideration the historical contexts of his designs.

Bad bicycle behaviournick revington

Guelph cyclists, despite their ze-ro-emissions good intentions, are a menace.

They can be observed pedalling on the sidewalk on a daily basis. Not only is this illegal, it is dan-gerous: the city’s website states that one in three cycling acci-dents involve illegally riding on the sidewalk.

While this is the most common indiscretion of these two-wheeled deviants, it is far from the most se-vere. Ignorance of the most basic of traffic laws seems almost a pre-requisite for using a bicycle in this town, as cyclists ignore stop signs and red lights, fail to signal their turns, or ride against traffic flow. all of these are in violation of the Highway Traffic act, to which bi-cycles must adhere along with every other vehicle on our roads, but this apparently goes unen-forced. our streets are on the brink of anarchy.

Some cyclists will, of course, say that they do not always feel safe riding on the street, subject to the same traffic laws as trans-port trucks and Greyhound buses. Surely there should be special pol-icies for cyclists. There are two problems with this assertion.

first, cyclists may actually be placing themselves in greater dan-ger when they ride on the sidewalk or against traffic flow: this is not how other road users expect to en-counter cyclists. In other words, it makes the actions of the cyclist unpredictable to drivers.

Second, great strides have been

made to accommodate cyclists. Guelph has an extensive network of bike lanes and recreational trails. Several major roads have either recently undergone upgrades to install bike lanes, or are slated to receive them in the near future. The city’s transit fleet is outfitted with bike racks, so cyclists can use the bus system in neighbourhoods where cycle-friendly infrastruc-ture may be lacking.

What really grinds my gears is that these upgrades often go un-derused. Many cyclists still ride on the sidewalk after multi-million-dollar construction projects install designated bike lanes, for example on Gordon St. south of campus.

Perhaps the city could do more

for cyclists. Many major streets do lack bike lanes; while the City of Guelph website includes a map of bike infrastructure, includ-ing alternate routes along quieter side streets, published in 2008 it is already surprisingly outdated (the upshot being that there are currently more bike routes than shown). These alternate routes are also unmarked on the streets themselves, and may therefore be difficult for cyclists to find, espe-cially in the winding backstreets of newer suburban neighbour-hoods. for a city such as Guelph that prides itself on a green repu-tation, it is surprising that it trails Toronto in bike route signage.

Similarly, drivers need to treat

bicycles like any other motorized vehicle on the road, giving them space and watching out for cyclists at intersections.

But at the end of the day, most of the onus falls on cyclists them-selves. Why should the city spend taxpayer money building bike lanes, publishing cycling maps, furnishing buses with racks, or in-stalling signage along side streets when many cyclists show—at best—a lukewarm appreciation for them in the first place? How can drivers watch out for cyclists when they might be on the side-walk or the wrong side of the road instead of the lane where they be-long, or if cyclists are running red lights and stop signs?
