| It's disappointing to see Darrel Wong resort to the tired tactic of shooting the messenger in dismissing concerns about fish farm impacts (Speaking for the fish farm workers, May 5 Courier-Islander). According to Wong we shouldn't listen to precautionary warnings about fish farm impacts from opposition politicians because these warnings reveal "biases." Huh?... |

Wild salmon stocks are being wiped out by sea lice from fish farms that sit smack in the middle of their migration routes, she warns. The fragile, inter-connected ecology of the coast is in peril. Morton isn't the only one sending this message, but it's her name that has become synonymous with the cause -- and the frustration of environmentalists who feel ignored by those in power. |

| When I learned last September that Cowichan Bay had just been named North Americas first Cittaslow community, I was intrigued. Cittaslow (pronounced CHEE-tah-slow) is an offshoot of Italys international Slow Food organization, and most of the towns it has honored for their resistance to a fast-paced, industrialized lifestyle are in Europe and Asia. How, I wondered, did Cittaslow even find out about Cow Bay, an agricultural and fishing village on the inland coast of Vancouver Island? |

| The business of government often has been conducted over a meal, but these days it's food itself that's on the public agenda: how to get more and better food to poor people, how to improve what children eat at school, how to encourage access to farmers' products and community gardens, how to combat obesity, and more. |

| Italian chefs launched a campaign over the weekend to defend the authenticity of one of their country's most famous, yet what they believe to be, most widely and wrongly interpreted dishes. In an attempt to restore integrity to the well known dish Tagliatelle al Ragù alla Bolognese, or spaghetti bolognese, and educate the world on its correct preparation, nearly 450 chefs in Italian restaurants in 50 countries cooked the dish with authentic ingredients according to a recipe set down in 1982 by the chamber of commerce in Bologna - the home of bolognese. |
