Honouring the past, welcoming the futureA few reasons for celebration were enjoyed at the Riverside Centre when 100 people came together to honour locals for service and the opportunity to meet the new doctors.
We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) for our publishing activities.
In the 60s, four young men took the music world by storm. “Beatlemania” ensued, crossing music genres—resulting in the Beatles being classified as the best-selling band in history.
The magic of this musical history is car-ried forward and continued in the present through the efforts of those who love the music and pay tribute to the band.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, residents will have the opportunity to meet a group of people who are carring this magic forward.
A chance meeting with Paul McCartney brought about changes in Jody Tennant’s life in a big way.
Tennant, an avid Beatles fan was inspired by the meeting to fulfil his dream of being a musician—to become Paul McCartney in a Beatles Band.
After years of hard work practicing and teaching himself to play left handed, Jody Tennant portrays Paul McCartney in Canada’s number one Beatles tribute band, The Fab Fourever.
Kevin Davey, shares his vocal talents in the role of John Lennon. He’s quite detail
oriented and drives the band to replicate the Beatles sound as close to original as they can.
George Harrison, the “quiet Beatle” is portrayed by Jean-Luc Perron. The roles of John Lennon and George Harrison have been performed by Perron in various Beatles tributes.
Talented with various instruments, Paul Kaszonyi began with the band as their sound engineer eventually becoming the drummer to play the role of Ringo Starr.
In order to truly replicate the sound off the Beatles, the Fab Fourever includes the
talents of Blake Mackay on keyboards and sound effects.
Handling everything including cos-tumes, props, travel and technical are Jenn and Terry Cormack the band’s road and stage managers.
On Saturday, Oct. 19 the Princeton Community Arts Council proudly presents The Fab Fourever—come get swept up in Beatlemania and be taken back in time at the Riverside Centre Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale prior to the concert at the Sunflower Gallery, Thomasina’s and are available Saturday, at the door.

Community helping handsHighway Extrication closer to new truck
Honoured for 30 years of serviceDr. Curtis Bell smiles as Nienke Klaver and Joan Kelly present flowers and their appreciation to Dr. John Adams and Mrs. Adams during the October 10 celebration at the Riverside Centre.
In both photos, Doug Pateman, President of Princeton Highway Extrication Society (Highway Rescue) gratefully accepts grant funding from the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) presented by Area H Director Brad Hope (left photo - right) and from the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund presented by Rob Marshall. (right photo - right) Each grant was for $5,000 which brings the society closer to the purchase of their much needed new rescue truck. A total of $13,000 still needs to be raised to cover the $134,000 purchase.“They put in a lot of effort to do the best job they can, said Director Hope, “They deserve to have the equipment and truck and I’m happy to help out.” “This group is a very deserving group in our community,” said Marshall, “This fits well with logging and safety on our highways as well as the other reasons and is a good effort to support.” Patemen says he “appreciates the recognition for the society and extends their appreciation to RDOS Area H director Brad Hope and to the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund Committee; Jeff Larsen, Rob Marshall and Wayne Roznowsky for their endorsements and support.

SpotlightOPINION
VICTORIA – As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former educa-tion minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union.
It started with a lecture.“In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic
of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled.
Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are sel-dom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned.
Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its empha-sis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences.
That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades.
Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “pov-erty and globalization.”
The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” filled with pre-dictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures.
One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.”
Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing gov-
ernments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.”
And what about that darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweat-shops.
Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation.
This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions.
A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team.
Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protest-ers’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint.
BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite.
They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate.
Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

I know you can’t please everyone, but some-times some things are best left untouched.
Take our national anthem for example. It appears that the old can of worms has
been re-opened once again to change yet another supposed politically incorrect word or phrase to our country’s century-old, all-Canadian song of patriotism. It tends to surface every now and again for those who feel the need to make a stink about the word-ing of our long-sung national anthem. We’ve been singing it for years, hand over heart or at least after the removal of your hat. And what hockey game would be the same without the traditional pre-game opening chorus of O Canada. Even those who can’t remember all the words at least make an attempt at silently mouthing something that seems close to the real thing.
It was only a few years ago when criti-cism of the term ‘sons’ in the phrase “in all our son’s command” was sexist and “native land” was improper and should be amended. Not surprisingly, the religious aspect was also criticized by a group of people who thought including a higher power in the lyric was a moot point. As early as 2010, those who viewed themselves valiantly as politically cor-rect tried in vain by making an attempt to have original wording of our beloved O Canada amended. However, the idea was quashed, so our anthem remains in tact – at least for now.
It looks as though what was once a simple song which represents the love of our country has survived, but has seemingly dimmed the once-glowing hearts of some politicians of our “home and native land.” I’m sure the sub-ject will once again rear it’s patriotic head into yet another political whine and cheese party topic of debate somewhere down the road.
Our national tune never did hit the top 10 on the charts, but it just seems to me the powers-that-be haven’t got enough to do with their time. I can’t help wondering if it’s not just a ‘make work’ project over the ever pres-ent water-cooler.
And if the truth be told, it’s taken me too long to remember the words by heart anyway, so I’m thankful to let sleeping anthems lay undisturbed in the annals of history for now.
My only worry is what they may be think-ing of doing to the almost defunct “Maple Leaf Forever” or “God Save the Queen” in the future, but I’m sure the water-cooler will have no problem standing up to the debate as it always has. I’m also fairly sure it would rather be silent witness to more important issues like affordable housing, poverty, equal pay, community safety, education cuts, medical care, job accessibility and seniors’ needs. With those issues dealt with, there would be good reason for a rousing chorus of O Canada .... the original version, of course.

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 8, 2013 – Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX: CUM) (the “Company” or “Copper Mountain”) announces production results for the third quarter of 2013 from the Copper Mountain mine located in southern British Columbia.
The mine had record copper production for the quarter and exited the quarter on a positive note with September’s copper production totaling 6.8 million pounds. Production for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 totaled 17.7 million pounds of copper, 6,417 ounces of gold, and 79,290 ounces of silver. Production improvements can be attrib-uted to the increased average mill throughput rate made possible with the short term secondary crushing strategies that have been implemented and improved in late July. These short term strate-gies include: utilizing an increased powder factor in the blasting in the mine to create more fines in the ore; continuing with a contract portable crusher at the primary crusher to crush plus 5,000 tpd of ore to minus two inches; and the introduc-tion of the Company’s own small portable crusher that was purchased and installed at the coarse ore stockpile during the quarter. The combination of these three activities is designed to create between 12,000 tpd and 13,000 tpd of minus two inch ore feed for the SAG mill. In September the average daily throughput of the SAG mill was 31,925
tpd with an average of 7,600 tpd minus 2 inch crushed product from the portable crushers. Mill availability at 94.2% for the month was a positive contribution to the 89.3% average for the quarter.
Mill throughput during the quarter improved to an average of 29,130 tpd compared to 26,000 for the first half of 2013, an increase of 12%. The mill processed a total 2.7 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.344 % copper during the quarter as compared to 2.5 million tonnes of ore for the three months ended June 2013. Mill recov-eries for the third quarter were 87% as compared to 85% for the first half of 2013.
Mining activities continued in both the Pit 2 and Pit 3 areas on plan and averaged approxi-mately 154,300 tonnes per day mined. During the quarter a total of 14.0 million tonnes of material was mined, including 3.9 million tonnes of ore and 9.4 million tonnes of waste. The projected life of mine strip ratio is 2 to 1 but higher in the early years.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 the mine shipped 32,840 wmt of concentrate containing approximately 16.3 million pounds of copper, 5,967 ounces of gold, and 69,427 ounces of silver generating an estimated $61.8 million in gross revenue.
All production figures are reported on a 100 percent basis.
Copper Mountain provides third quarter operational update
Building upgrades a positive sight for Princeton residents
Top: Roger Tremblay (Penticton) contracted by Mike Grgich Contracting (Princeton) is currently drywalling the front office area in the center level of the Court House building which will house the new Town Hall.
Left: Chris, Derek and Aaron of Big Valley Homes out of Kelowna are the crew assisting partners Garry Wittich ( dealer-owner) and Peter Rubingh (manager) of Princeton Home Hardware with the expansion and renovations to the store.
The closure of small businesses and the sight of empty buildings in the downtown core of the commu-nity over the past couple years, has been a top topic of concern.
Over the last few weeks however, residents have been pleased to see a bit of action happening on Bridge Street and Vermilion Ave.
The Royal Canadian Legion is upgrading the lounge and hall front
entrances by installing handicapped access doors.
Home Hardware is expanding into the old Quick Pic Grocery site, to provide residents with a larger store and more shopping opportu-nities.
The Town of Princeton has decided to keep the historic Princeton Court House building and is renovating it to house the new Town Hall. Court will continue to be held in the building.

DR. DAVID SMITHMany of you are aware of the fact that I am retiring at the end of this
year. For this purpose I will be transferring my patient files up to the Cascade Clinic, as soon as Interior Health
has given me permission to do this.
If this permission is not granted, then unfortunately there will be a charge to both photocopy the files, and to send them to
the Cascade Clinic.
I wish to reassure all my patients that all personal files will be kept safely while I am away, and you will have continual access to a copy of these files whenever needed, if Interior Health does not agree to this transfer.
As you all well aware, there will be 4 doctors to choose from by the time that I leave Princeton. It is of course any patient’s right to have the doctor of their own choice, and this well be left open to their own
decision. All 4 doctors will be accepting new patients.
I also wish to reassure patients that I am only leaving in December, so there is no immediate rush to have any files transferred. I will certainly
keep you well informed, closer to the time.
Both Mez and I are going to leave the medical practice with a heavy heart, but the children and grand-children back in South Africa,
are calling. We will be away for about 5 months and look forward to our return to this town of Princeton, which we both love so well.

Weyerhaeuser donates towards new school playground equipment
(Back-far right) Jeff Larsen, manager of Princeton Weyerhaeuser presents Vermilion Forks Elementary School with a $15,000 cheque to assist them in their fundraising efforts for new playground equipment. (Left) Principal Barry Clarke, grade 5/6 teacher Mrs. Tristen Cleven along with students Megan Hyslop and Dacoda Adam quite happily accept the cheque. Mrs. Cleven heads up the fundraising effort and is hoping to raise a total of $50,000 to outfit the school with a new playcenter.
Lisa Carleton/Spotlight
Principal Clarke introduced a special guest to the students of Vermilion Forks Elementary (VFE) on Friday after having a quick chat about the status of playground equipment.
Merry-go-rounds were removed from the schools in Princeton due to the fact that governers needed to bring them up to safety standards were unavailable.
The removal of the equipment upset students and parents a great deal. Grade 5/6 teacher at Vermilion Forks, Mrs. Tristen Cleven decid-ed that something had to be done about replacing the equipment.
Vermilion Forks Parent Advisory
Committee has put in $3,000 towards new equipment and the committee headed by Mrs. Cleven has applied for grant funding.
One grant has been awarded to the school and was presented by Jeff Larsen, manager of Princeton Weyerhaeuser.
“Safety is as important to us at Weyerhaeuser as it is to your school and we are pleased to help,” said Larsen as he presented a $15,000 cheque to VFE.
The fundraising committee is hoping to raise $50,000 for a new playcenter for VFE.
They plan to hold a VFE cloth-ing sale and an Art Sale (art by stu-dents) in November to further their efforts. If you wish to help, please contact the school. 250-295-6642

Take our energy saving quiz and enter to win a $500 family prize pack
While October is best known for its collection of ghosts and goblins, it’s also a great time to scare away high energy use.
“In the winter energy use increases by almost 50 per cent compared with summer months,” said Tom Loski, vice president, cus-tomer service, FortisBC. “Energy efficient upgrades could help lower your heating costs. When home-owners upgrade the insulation in their walls, basement and attic they save, on average, 30 per cent on their energy bill.”
Knowing where energy is used is the first step to energy conserva-tion. Conduct a seasonal inspection of your home to seek out areas that need sealing or upgrading. Here are a few simple tips:
Seal the cracks. Window caulk applied to both the interior and exterior windows can help keep out cold winter drafts. Weatherstrip the gaps. For exterior doors and win-dows that open, apply weatherstrip-ping where the two surfaces meet. Install a programmable thermostat. Set it for 17 C when out or asleep and 20 C when home and save up
to 15 per cent on home heating costs. Go low-flow. Today’s low-flow showerheads deliver the same level of pressure but with much less water than older models. Star light, star bright – When incandescent bulbs burn out, replace them with ENERGY STAR lighting and save on electricity. Give your appliances some TLC. Getting appliances like furnaces, fireplaces and heat pumps serviced by a registered contractor will keep them operating as effi-ciently as possible.
To learn about home’s energy use and ways to save energy and money on utility bills, tour FortisBC’s PowerSense virtual Energy House, and take the energy saving quiz to enter to win 1 of 5 $500 family prize packs. For more information, visit fortisbc.com/footprints.
FortisBC is committed to help-ing customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing financial incen-tives and energy savings tips for natural gas and electricity. Since it was founded in 1989, FortisBC’s PowerSense program has helped Southern Interior electricity cus-tomers save more than 445 gigawatt hours. That’s enough electricity to power 35,000 homes every year for twenty four years.
Fortis invites you to scare away high energy useOctober is known for Halloween but it’s also FortisBC’s PowerSense month.
Members of New Beginnings and their support workers were host to clubs from Keremeos and Penticton. The groups got together for a Harvest Dance and luncheon to celebrate Community Living Month. Doing “The Time Warp” (below) was a huge hit and so were the spot dances and prizes.
Harvest Dance held to celebrate Community Living Month
Beef Dip and dessert squares were enjoyed after a welcome from Councillor Kim Maynard during the social celebrating Community Living Month held at the Royal Canadian Legion on Oct. 11.
Members of New Beginnings and their support workers hosted The Club—Penticton and the Community Living Day Program from Keremeos. After lunch all three groups enjoyed more social time, spot dances and prizes during the Harvest Dance with music provided by Ian Elko.
Event organizer and support worker Becky Vermette is pleased with the afternoon, “They are having a great time together.”
The three clubs get together throughout the year and attend each others dances.
October was designated as Community Living Month in British Columbia in 1998. The whole month was chosen to celebrate Community Living to enable groups to choose what days or weeks would suit their communities best.
Community Living Month is an opportunity to celebrate the gifts, talents and contributions that people with developmental disabilities bring to their communities, as well as a time to acknowledge the individu-als and organizations who support them.

For me, autumn is a wistful time of year. It is especially dramatic on the prairies where I spent several decades. Fragments of memories come slipping back to form vignettes of sight, sound and smell. I remember September walks to school in sturdy shoes and knee high stockings, wearing a pleated wool skirt and an warm sweater. We looked forward to the turning of leaves because that was when Dad would take us for weekend drives north on River Road to Saint Andrews on the Red, a historic church near Winnipeg. The spectacle of colour whizzing by the car window was absolutely intoxicating. We would do a walk-about of the cemetery surrounding the ancient stone church, searching the lichen spotted markers for cherubs and lambs that signified babies and children who had died of diphtheria or influenza in the early twentieth century epidem-ics. I would say the names and try to imagine their short lives.
As the season ripened, there were leaves of red, gold and brown to be raked together for the endless ritual of leaping on and re-raking. It was an activity that had an urgency to it. We could smell the change coming and knew that all would turn brown and soggy, ending our exuberance. When I view that scene in my mind, I marvel at how unselfconsciously we children moved amongst the elements of nature.
Fast forward a few years to see a horse-crazy teenage girl riding alone through another golden scene. It is mid-October and most of the leaves are on the ground. Through the trees, the sky is so blue it hurts the eyes. As I tell of it, I can smell the pungency of the earth and feel the damp of recent rain.
There is so much more to the experience than just a ride through a forest in autumn. Something changes that day. Nature and I make a grown-up pact of sorts. I know where I need to be to find solace and to make sense of my world. Here is where I can be at rest to sort things out. It’s where inspiration lies.
Twenty years later, I find myself walking down a busy city street near the end of November. I am on my way to art school and lost in thought. Cars are speeding by, mere feet from me. Over the street noise, I hear a haunting sound coming from above.
It is the honking of hundreds of geese in sev-eral flocks, flying in formation. They fly so low I can hear the rush of wind in their wing feathers and I am dumbfounded. They mark the dying of autumn and Nature’s coming sleep of winter. I don’t remember how long I remain watching waves of those mighty birds changing places to give their leaders rest, all the while frantically urging each other on.
I am not certain that autumn wouldn’t have been as memo-rable to me if I had grown up where I was born in the West Kootenays. I do believe that our environment shapes how we see our world to a significant degree. The prairies, like life, are extreme by nature.
There is a joy in autumn that gives a person a chance to gird the loins for the violence of winter storms. It is a time to enjoy the depth of beauty in ripeness and a time to look inward to prepare for the sleep of winter.

A time to enjoy the depth of beauty in ripeness
On Sunday, October 8 Doug Rebagliati led a hike across the Darcy Mountain plateau. The foggy morn-ing did not look very promising but by 10 o’clock we were hiking in glorious sunshine. We began the day by parking my van in the pasture off Willis Road. The upshot of this was that by the time we got back to the van at the end of the hike the windshield and windows were covered with muddy smears left by curious horses or cattle. We then drove to Pat Parsons’ homestead where we parked the other vehicle.
We began our hike by walking to Izzits Lake, which was glassy smooth,
creating a perfect mirror for the yel-low trees and rocky hillsides that sur-rounded it. We then began a sweaty hike up onto the plateau. The landscape up there is a beautiful mixture of forest and meadows interspersed with ponds. We came across several old homesteads whose inhabitants must have struggled to survive up there. Doug figured that they were eastern European peasants to whom the idea of owning land was paramount. All the good land having been taken, they were reduced to high-elevation, marginal land. The area was likely called Savage City because the inhabitants were foreign and they lived in the wilderness.
After walking for about three and a
half hours we could see Iron Mountain and Baldy to the north and began our descent to the van. The clear air and sunlight gave us a beautiful view of the whole valley.
Our next field trip will be Oct. 19, when John Henry will lead us on a geological, educational walk along the ridge at China Ridge. This will be an easy, two to three hour trek. Meet at Billy’s at 10 a.m., with lunch, water and camera. Phone John at 250-295-7154 to confirm. Our next meeting will feature a talk on the Copper Mountain mining operation by one of the mine’s engi-neers. Please join us on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at Riverside Centre for this event.

The garden club has had a successful sum-mer. In May, our book, “Yes, You Can Garden in Princeton!” was published and we have enjoyed a lot of sales and hope to sell many more of the books. Books are available at Billy’s Family Restaurant, the Winking Pedlar, Image Emporium, Everything Pets, Sunflowery Gallery, Princeton Farm and Garden Centre or by calling Doreen at 250-295-1577.
During this past summer the club par-ticipated in three garden tours in Kaleden and Cawston with the BC Iris Society. What amazing displays of this beautiful plant. We also shared a wonderful, but very hot day with our neighbours in the Keremeos Garden Club. We viewed three amazing gardens belonging to their members and then enjoyed a lovely lunch under the canopy of a massive weeping willow.
In June, we awarded two deserving Princeton High School graduates a scholarship of $250 each. We wish Alicia Myers and Clayton Jung good luck in their future studies.
Regular monthly meetings of the garden club take place on the second Tuesday of each
month at 1 p.m., at the Seniors Centre on Angela Ave. Please note that the November meeting will take place on the third Tuesday, November 19. In December the club will meet for our Christmas party, at the home of Doreen Poulsen.
Five new members joined us for the October meeting. We are always looking for new mem-bers as well as new ideas—hope you consider giving us a try. We are interested in having speakers come and address our members after regular meetings and will welcome the public to attend.
In the near future, George Harry will put out a newsletter with timely hints and ideas for gardening in Princeton. The information will address topics in your garden suitable for the time and season. This is a trial edition and will be free of charge. Look for it at the locations where our book are sold.
The Princeton Garden Club wishes every-one a wonderful fall and winter and hope to meet many new people at our club meetings and events. Feel free to call either myself, Doreen at 250-295-1577 or Laila at 250-295-0740 if you have any questions or are looking for information.

CAPRICORN: A change of scenery could provide the change in perspective you need right now, Capricorn. The trouble is finding the right time to get away. Plan a weekend trip if you can manage it.
AQUARIUS: Aquarius, even though you may not relish the role, you often have to be the voice of reason. Express yourself clearly but take others’ ideas into consideration as well.
PISCES: Channel all of your creative ideas into one big project, Pisces. Once you have taken that initiative, the project will take off.
ARIES: Aries, avoid making promises unless you intend to keep them. If you cannot commit your time or effort, then explain the situation rather than backing out later.
TAURUS: Others view you in an entirely different light than you view yourself, Taurus. Consider their perspectives and keep an open mind. It might just help you grow as a person.
GEMINI: Many ideas are running through your head, Gemini. But you have to stick with one idea and go with it. Though this may seem like trying to find a needle in a haystack, the focus will pay off.
CANCER: Someone puts all of their faith in you this week, Cancer. Don’t be nervous about living up to their expectations. Just operate the way you always do and things will work out.
LEO: Leo, a number of things keep you occupied this week. The only difficulty will be narrowing down exactly what you want to do. Give this decision the attention it deserves.
VIRGO: Virgo, no matter how many times you voice your opinion, there seems to be one person who just doesn’t seem to catch on to your line of thinking. Accept such differences of opinion.
LIBRA: Libra, sometimes you put blinders on to situations that make you uncomfortable. It is your way of coping. But this week you need to keep your eyes wide open.
SCORPIO: Scorpio, you do not have the patience for puzzles this week. Encourage coworkers and family members to be as concise as possible when declaring their intentions.
SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, this week you will have to do a number of things on your own. Make the most of this situation, as it might just prove to be a good test of character.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
Serving up Sunday brunch
Sunday brunch is a popular trend that often finds families and friends gathering at a restaurant for a midday meal. But brunch afficionados need not visit a nearby restaurant to enjoy their meals. The follow-ing recipe for “Pan-Fried Eggs and Mixed Mushroom Saute on Toasted Sourdough Slices” from Betty Rosbottom’s “Sunday Brunch” (Chronicle Books) is an easy and simple alternative to restaurant brunch.
Pan-Fried Eggs and Mixed Mushroom Saute on Toasted
Sourdough SlicesServes 4
Mushroom Saute11/4 ounce mixed dried mushrooms
11/2 cups boiling water3 tablespoons olive oil8 ounces sliced brown mushrooms2 teaspoons minced garlic1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
Toast and Eggs4 1/2-inch-by-12-millimeter-thick sourdough slices, halved if the slices are extra large2 tablespoons unsalted butter4 eggs Olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Rosemary sprigs for garnish, optional
1. For the mushroom saute: Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let stand until softened, 20 minutes. Strain in a sieve lined with a double thickness of paper towels and reserve the soaking liquid. Coarsely chop the mushrooms.
2. Heat the oil in a medium, heavy frying pan set over medium heat. When hot, add the brown mush-rooms and saute, stirring often, for 6 minutes. Add the reserved mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir for 1 minute. Add the mushroom liquid and cook, stirring, until it has evaporated, 4 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and several grinds of pepper. Remove the frying pan from the heat and cover with foil to keep warm. (The mushrooms can be prepared 1 day ahead; cool, cover and refrigerate. Reheat, stirring, over medium heat.)
3. For the toast and eggs: Brush both sides of the bread slices generously with olive oil. Set a 10- to 11-inch by 25- to 28-centimeter nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and, when hot, add the bread
and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the toast and cover loosely with foil. When pan is cool enough to handle, wipe it out with clean paper towels.
4. Add the butter to the frying pan and set it over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam, break an egg into a saucer, being careful to remove any shell fragments, and gently slide it into the frying pan. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook, basting the eggs with some of the butter in the pan frequently, until the whites are firm and the yolks are still soft and runny, 3 minutes.
5. While the eggs are cooking, arrange a toasted bread slice on each of four plates. Mound the mush-rooms evenly over the toast.
6. Remove each egg with a spatula and arrange on top of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and, if desired, garnish each serving with a rosemary sprig. Serve immediately.
