I am not writing to complain that something should be done or admonish those exuberant drivers for I feel that a very lucrative business could be built around this habit. The business I have in mind, is a mobile fleet equipped to serve coffee and sandwiches to those poor souls trying to make a left turn.

I must point out, in all sincerity, that the police in this area are doing an excellent job. I believe also that traffic engineers, by equipping many corners with delayed cqntrol lights and one-way streets arc also doing an excellent Job but there are enough corners left over for an entrepreneur to give my suggestion serious consideration, and perhaps some help in getting my tongue out of my cheek.

The price increases are in suggested list prices, which retailers arc free to ignore by charging either higher or lower prices.

There arc always a number of newcomers whenever snow appears in the city, such as this amusing snow-crafted couple seated on bench along Dallas Road seafront. And where else but in Victoria could such a contrast as this be seen? Victorians will have more opportunities for cold weather capers as snow is expected to be around for some time. But it does have access to plows and graders owned by construction companies.

The city\’s chief engineer, John Sansom, explained Tuesday night that the city had only one grader and so far it had not been used at all. But workmen had been salting and sanding major routes liberally in the past two days.

Sansom drove over all major roads Tuesday and said all were passable with care and snow tires. Otherwise the graders and front end loaders tended to compact the snow rather than to clear it.

The main problem was drivers using cars without snow tires. Thetis park grows Good news for nature lovers: Thetis Lake Park has grown by acres. It increases the size of the park by about 30 per cent. Optimism is one of the characteristics he will need for the job he has just taken on.

Some Failure by us to take the initiative in this issue for the benefit of wildlife will result in our wildlife resource getting only what the forest industry wants it to have A distinct doe tag would compel these clowns to limit Iheir doe harvest to the legal number of one. They suggest that initially 75 doe permits be issued for Nanaimo River and an appropriate, but substantially lesser, number be issued for each of the other watersheds.

They suggest the number would vary annually thereafter in consultation with the Nanaimo Fish and Game Club and upon analysis of the available data. The club members suggest the doe permits be issued on a limited entry draw system administered from the Nanaimo fish and wildlife office and that initially the doe season be late in the year, probably near or after Dec.

Simpsons-Sears Ltd. But if these beans are cooked with onions and a bit of bay leaf, the dish is considered cooked in Connecticut style. Baked with maple syrup instead of molasses is the Vermont style. Several other regions of the United States add a tomato or chili sauce to their baked beans, and many people have especially good recipes for baked kidney beans, baked limas and baked peas.

Here are some recipes to add depth to your w inter menus. Drain beans and place in large saucepan; add 6 cups water. Simmer uncovered over low heat one-and-one-half hours or until tender. Turn beans with liquid into bean pot or 2-quart casserole. Add 2 cup additional water and remaining ingredients; mix well. Cover and bake in degree F oven for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Serves 6 to 8. To peel fruit, cut slice from top, then cut off peel round and round, spiral fashion.

Go over fruit again, removing any remaining white membrane. Slice oranges crosswise, one-fourth-inch thick. Slice onions one-eighth-inch thick and separate slices into rings. Alternate orange slices and onion rings on greens and garnish with green pepper and ripe olives, if desired. Find your niche. You cant be all things to all customers. If youre selling T-shirts, curate your products to reect your image. If youre selling home goods, sell the ones that map to your customer base. Turn small into an advantage.

Take advantage of accessible technology; react quickly to changes in the marketplace. Focus on your business needs before your technology. While very important in achieving your goals, dont put the technology cart before the business horse until you know what you need.

Best in class might be more than you need. Be realistic when assessing your needs and your limitations, and nd an application that ts where you are now and where you want to be over the next few years. Tempting as it may seem, dont necessarily go for a Cadillac application when a Ford will do the trick. Keep it simple. Dont over-design or over-engineer. Prepare for reasonable contingencies but dont try to prepare for everything. Complicated systems are hard to implement and hard to maintain.

Things change at the speed of light. A year plan will be useless in three years, unless the plan for year two is: reassess the year plan. Plan your multichannel needs for three years out. Then revisit. Multichannel success requires people, not just technology. Technology is a necessary tool but it is only as good as the people using it. Be sure that you are continuously evaluating, developing and enhancing your team.

There is a wealthor maybe a delugeof information available to anyone who bothers to look for it, and a lot of it is free. Whitepapers, webinars, articles on the Internet, along with tradeshows and conferences, all provide the data and knowledge to everyone, regardless of the size of their company.

Government web sites, such as the U. E-commerce marketplace data-gathering companies such as Hitwise, comScore and Google Trends can provide insightful information, enabling merchants to compare themselves against companies in their vertical and those that are of comparable size. The key to real success is translating all that data into actions that match your business strategy.

They understand how to buy keywords on Google and do so with abandon. SEO is more of a challenge, which requires the comprehensive and ongoing eort to embed keywords into all aspects of the web site. Some of this is a technology issue, some of it is having the right people and right number of them to do the work, analyze the results, test and repeat.

Also, smaller merchants tend not to focus on customer retention and increasing the average order value. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to people who are jacks of all trades but masters of none. Basic skills can take a merchant part of the way down the road to success but more expertise is needed to take reach the destination.

Customer service is a critical function that is hard to do well. Its costly and most smaller merchants cant aord the comprehensive, high-quality customer service that a larger competitor can. For example, Bed Bath and Beyond will send a return authorization with every order; Newegg will do so for selected orders those with high return rates ; most smaller retailers cannot aord to do either.

Sometimes, the desire to squeeze every dollar out of a sale and to give the minimum amount back results in unfortunate policies that smaller merchants could avoid, including charging a restocking fee and forcing customers to go to the manufacturer with a return after 15 days. These can hurt customer retention. Performing customer service inhouse provides the opportunity to have a more personalized service, to keep a stores personality, and to better resolve any issues based of sta expertise.

Also, it is a great opportunity to up-sell. But handling returns makes it more dicult, logistically. Live chat is becoming increasingly popular with smaller merchants but most of the bigger retailers seem to shy away from it. Perhaps they have invested so much in an eective customer service function that they dont feel live chat is a worthwhile or necessary tool.

Live chat is a helpful tool, but can be expensive if deployed across the whole site and can be annoying to shoppers if it is too intrusive. Create appropriate rules that will initiate chat if a customer is abandoning their cart or they are stuck in Internet Retailer Challenges for the smaller merchants So, while new, cheaper technologies are providing advantages to the smaller merchants that didnt exist previously, there are still challenges.

The sophistication of online shoppers results in their expectation of the same quality user experience, regardless on the size of the merchant. After all, the beauty and the curse of the web is that a small business can appear to be a big one. Therefore, the customer will not accept a sub-par shopping experience, from the usability and design of the site to the ease and reliability of delivery. Smaller retailers understand the importance of customer acquisition and spend a lot of money on search www.

They worry more about getting the rst customer and compete on price for that customer and dont focus on creating loyal customers. Often, they dont maximize their use of e-mail marketing, which is a very costeective tool with high ROI. Improving loyalty can be laborintensive and smaller merchants often dont have people with the bandwidth or perhaps skills for this.

More eective merchandising, appropriate upsells and cross-sells, promotional strategies, database segmentation, the right e-mail marketing, analysis of demographics, and how to market to them all require honed skills. Smaller merchants often have employees. And give the customer the option to initiate chat at any time. Insight into inventory is another challenge for most smaller merchants.

Their real-time knowledge of their inventory can range from non-existent to not optimal. The smaller the business, the harder it is to have current information on inventory, and often it is a manual process. This is not only an ordering problem but it almost always becomes a customer service problem. Often, the main problem is lack of communication between the front end and the back end. Another potentially daunting aspect of e-commerce for a smaller merchant is the increasingly complex legal environment of doing business on the web.

Dierent states not to mention dierent countries For example, its quick and easy to leverage social media. Sometimes, smaller merchants can do this better than large companies because they are not so restricted in determining their voice.

There is no corporate image to contend with, no large committee of stakeholders to approve every action and no legal department to sign o. The CEO can just decide and do. Technology, security and legality Smaller merchants also tend not to pay enough attention to their current technologywhether homegrown or purchased.

By not keeping up with technology developments and upgrades, merchants systems quickly achieve legacy status, leading to bigger technology investments in the future in order to compete with their peers. A common failure for smaller merchants is scalability. While their technology can handle their business most of the year without incident, any sudden spike Christmas, the Oprah eect can render their system inoperable and often unable to quickly recover.

Another danger of using dated technology is not being up to date with security. Unfortunately, hackers and viruses are up to date, so its imperative that small online merchants provide the same quality of security as any big company. While big companies have certainly had their own security problems, they understand that it is their responsibility to address security.

Sometimes, smaller merchant businesses do not focus on it as much as they should. Often, security tools are included 24 Internet Retailer. By their nature smaller and more nimble merchants can react more quickly to new trends in the e-commerce world. What is PCI-compliance? How to handle customs issues? In some ways, it is even tougher for the smaller merchants because they dont have legal and tax departments dedicated to guring all this out to their best advantage.

Smaller merchants also can get mobile quickly. From mobile marketing to a mobile app to a mobile web site, there are quick and relatively inexpensive options for getting in the game and competing with the big stores.

There also is strength in numbers and retailers can join forces with other smaller companies. There are sites like Etsy that create a common marketplace for companies with niche products. And there are aliate marketing programs that can help you expand your reach for a fee.

Other marketplaces for getting products to the consumers include Amazon and Buy. Given all these options, the temptation might be for an smaller merchant to overestimate the opportunity and the revenue potential of e-commerce growth, and to underestimate the amount of preparation, work and money required.

It is important for you to understand what your strategy is, dene your objectives, determine your requirements and create your plan. Then execute. The advantages of being small Given the availability of stateof-the-art technology, it does not take that much for someone with ambition and an idea to create a viable e-commerce business.

Many providers have tools that enable small retailers to get an e-commerce site up in days, making it hard for shoppers to tell if a merchant is a mom-and-pop business or a bigger player. All were built for success by americaneagle.

And in recent years, as Internet connections have gotten faster, and more online activities compete for their time and attention, their expectations for a smooth and speedy experience on your web site have grown. Yet to compete for their mindshare and loyaltyand their dollars youve taken steps to make your web. But all of this comes at a price it slows down your web site. And that can have serious implications. Also, when your site suers latency, or page-loading delays, due to the number of marketing campaign tags, it can cause friction with your information technology department, which is often charged with improving your sites performance.

They point the nger at you for causing all the slow-downs, and you get frustrated by their inability to make improvements. Maybe theyve even gone so far as to set limits on what campaigns you can. Youve probably also implemented a number of online campaigns to increase awareness of your brand and deliver a more personalized experience. And with each of those campaigns comes 26 Internet Retailer.

Furthermore, Google factors web site speed into its ranking algorithm, so a slow-loading site will suer lower ranking in web searches. The reasons most site owners and marketers havent taken adequate measures may include a decit of time and resources, and budget constraints that prevent them from purchasing tools and technologies. A general lack of understanding about what corrective measures to take is also a contributor.

If the scenario above sounds at all familiar, then keep reading. This article is intended to shed some light on how to address latency, by oering advice on how best to measure site performance and providing some practical steps you can take to improve the speed of your site.

If so, you can work with your web designer to overcome some of those problems. How about dierent connection speeds? Does a signicant portion of your customers live in areas where high-speed broadband connectivity is still limited?

If so you might want to tailor your site to themunless they represent only a small portion of your customer base.

Where your visitors are. Are your visitors in your backyard, or across the country? Or even overseas? You should use testing services that will show site performance for various access nodes and paths, so you can tell if your site performs well for local trac but is quite a bit slower for trac coming from other, far-o places.

This might indicate that you need to have platform servers in other locations to accommodate those visitors. Peak and off-peak trafc times. What are the variations in trac load that your site can accommodate, and when are you more likely to see peak trac numbers?

If you can pinpoint certain times of day, or even specic dates when trac volumes spike, you can enact temporary adjustments to improve performance during those times while keeping your site intact during other, less busy periods. Look beyond the home page. Dierent features and functionalities will load on dierent pages of your site, so dont assume that the way your home page loads is a good representation of your whole site.

You need to evaluate dierent pages separately, and consider any applications that might be slowing particular pages down, such as user reviews on product pages or too many images on search results pages.

Evaluate whether tags are slowing down your site. You can determine if third-party tags, used by external www. Where to look for performance issues In order to accurately measure page load speedand determine the right xthere are a variety of factors to consider: Server-side vs. You can address the server side by adding more servers or using acceleration technologies, but you dont have a lot of control over client-side issues.

For example,. This is not recommended as a permanent x because of the loss of tracking data, but it can show you if tags are contributing to site latency. For example, one of our clients thirdparty tags were aected by Hurricane Irene this past summer, and they saw their web site speed up considerably when they were forced to turn the tags o. There are providers that can evaluate the amount of time tags take to load; and tools that simulate a slow-loading tag, which will give you an idea of the potential drag on your sites performance.

As youre evaluating the areas outlined above, its important to remember that you should never look solely at performance averagesa mistake people often make. If you only consider average performance you may have a false perception that your site performs just ne, and you can miss out on determining the real problems.

As an example from work conducted by web analytics consultancy Semphonic, a look at Site As page transmission speeds shows that the average was 1, Kbps kilobits per secondwhich isnt too bad compared to its competitor sites, which ranged from Kbps to 2, Kbps. Yet a closer look at Site As site statistics shows that the maximum transmission speed was 1,, and the minimum was 31 Kbps.

This is a pretty big variationand the worst-case scenario is quite a bit slower than the average. So look at the full picture, not just the average. How to strike that balance will differ for every retail site. There are ways to improve performance without sacricing the experience, but its important to rst look at the trade-os people are currently making between functionality and the negative impacts of slow page loads.

When tags are removed, marketers have no idea how well their campaigns are performing and what contribution theyre making to an actual purchase. Before you jump the gun and remove all the third-party tags from your site, strip your product pages of compelling images or add a bunch of servers where they may not be needed, consider the following ve options, which might give you the performance boost you need now.

Optimize page code. This was the number one response people gave on our survey for how theyre addressing latency. Optimizing page code, or shrinking the Javascript, involves merging the separate sets of instructions that tell the page what to do. It stands to reason that downloading lots of small scripts takes longer than downloading one large script. Marketing professionals might have some trepidation, given that this is in the domain of the I.

But quick xes can be done, even by those with limited programming knowledge. All that needs to be done is to open the Javascript les and copy and paste them all into one le. If this sounds a bit daunting, there are a number of online resources that provide an easy guide to merging les dynamically, such as Smarty. Address site functionality. Site performance will vary from page to page, depending on what applications and functionalities you havesuch as site search, shopping cart, check-out, live chat, etc.

This can be particularly true if you rely on hosted solutions. For example, Internet Retailer Measuring latency: Four steps to acceleration So, given all thats been discussed above, how can you go about speeding up your site beyond some of the simple tweaks you might already have made?

Theres no simple, black and white answerthe most www. Respondents also identied the key steps theyve taken to improve site performance, including optimizing page code, improving performance monitoring and reducing page weight.

There are many ways marketers currently address page load speed, all of which are eective, except the idea of reducing or removing thirdparty tagsa common misperception. Or, as was the case with one company, perhaps the additions to your installed internal search database grew by volumes over recent years, to a point that it dramatically limited performancein which case, a clean-up of the database would likely speed up performance.

Reduce the weight of social media apps. Social media plug-ins, while increasingly popular for their potential viral impact, have recently been identied as a contributor to site latency. For example, in a study we did in conjunction with Catchpoint, we determined by looking at a number of sites that Facebooks Like plug-in stalls page load time by approximately 0. Optimize third-party tags.

Every online marketing application or campaign includes a tiny piece of tracking codeor tagthat sits on your site. There are tags for display ads, paid search, SEO, retargeting, e-mail marketing, aliates, site analytics and more. Each individual tag can take up to one quarter of a second to load. Our research shows that the average e-commerce web site has more than 20 dierent tags, many on the same page.

Most e-commerce sites incorporate ve to seven tags per page. As marketers invest more in online marketing, their growing 30 Internet Retailer. As previously mentioned, many marketers address this problem by signicantly reducing, or even removing altogether, the tags on their site.

One major U. When you take a comprehensive view of your sites performance you can easily nd areas for improvement without having to take drastic measures. However, the downside to removing the tags was that the retailer gave up the ability to track their customers marketing activities, which resulted in an incalculable loss of customer data.

Thats a very dicult trade-o, and one most marketers dont want to make. A better approach to third-party tags is to optimize themsomething you can achieve through use of more sophisticated tag management systems which put all tags in one container, so theyre more easily implemented and managed.

There are several ways to optimize your tags. For example, you can congure your tag management system to perform parallel tag loading, which loads all tags in parallel rather than in sequential order, where slower loading tags can hold up the rest, thus reducing the total time necessary for the page to complete.

You can also set limits so that any tags exceeding a certain amount of time to load can be timed out, and set your system so that only tags. Finally, you should make sure any old tags that are no longer in use are removed from your site.

Often, tags get put on a site and are then forgotten, and the accumulation of them can drag down performance. Start at the top. When it comes to how your pages should load, always work your way from.

Taking this approach with all the properties on your site including images, content and even tagsdemonstrates to your visitors that you value their time and enables them to get started with their shopping experience right away, rather than waiting for items to load that theyre not even readily able to see. When you take a comprehensive view of your sites performance and how its measured, you can easily nd areas for improvement without having to take drastic measures that compromise usability and campaign tracking.

Whatever you do, be sure to test your sites performance regularly so youre better able to determine when problems arise, and how to address them. Doing so will ensure that you deliver the smooth, streamlined experience your customers expect, and will help strengthen your brand reputation, improve search engine rankings, reduce site abandonment and lead to more purchases.

The shortage in extended care remains acute. Why hasn\’t something improved over the past lOvears. For all others who are also awaiting surgery, don\’t hold your breath. If the nurses favor strike action, which I am sure they will, there will be further cancellations of surgery. Why should an RN. The board of directors found it necessary to resign for rea sons loo numerous to relate here, but in tile main it was because we could not see eye to eye with Mother Cecilia\’s operation of the shelter.

Quoting Sister Julia. In the event this is not possible I feel this so-called shelter should be closed down. It is unreal to think that an animal shelter can house an inial.

Last but not least, how rotten does a situation such as the above related have to be before the SPCA steps in? Civic Scene by Hubert Beyer When a newspaper dies, a little bit of freedom dies with it.

And it matters not whether it\’s a powerful daily or a small community paper. Three years after it began publication, the Beck- ley Farm News, a monthly paper brought out by the James Bay Residents\’ League, published its last issue this month.

It was a good paper, a forum for community concerns. It brought James Bay residents face to face with issues that concerned their neighborhood. And it could concentrate on those issues much belter than a daily newspaper can. Its targets were fatcat developers, politicians who didn\’t pay attention to James Bay. On at least one occasion I found myself in the firing line of the Beekley Farm News.

I had written a column saying that community associations had become too powerful and were pressuring municipal councils into decisions which could be detrimental to the larger community. And there, in the next edition, was a cartoon of a v icious-looking, bearded character, holding a pen dripping with blood.

On the ground lay a dead. The laws of unbiased coverage thal govern the conduct of daily newspapers don\’t apply to community papers. The function of a community newspaper is to provide an outlet for the fears and concerns of the neighborhood And the Beekley Farm News did just that, and did it well. At election lime, it could go hog-wild.

Woe to the aldermanic candidate who had never done anything lor James Bay. That ferocious little paper lied. What gripes me is that it didn\’t have to die. There was always enough advertising to see it through. To all appearances there was never a shortage of copy, or volunteers to prov ide it. If this proposal goes through, the hospitals in this province will lose some of the finest head nurses and supervisors that can be found anywhere. Granted, education means progress, but good common sense is hard to beat.

A head nurse\’s responsibilities are the entire ward: patient, relative,\’ staff, etc. Is this a fair incentive to do the job? Florence Nightingale was a militant person: she fought to get into the nursing field We are going to fight to stay in the nursing field MRS.

Do you have no respect for your life and even less for others? If you think, \”an accident could never happen to me. The list is end less. How does death sound to you? Hopefully, you won\’t lake the innocent w ith you. Hav ing had the misfortune of being the innocent victim of a head on collision almost eight months ago. I am very happy to be alive and on the mend.

For some, the horror will never end. Do you feel that negligence w hen y ou drive is worth the gamble? Transit system poor I am appalled to think that the Capital Regional Board could even suggest putting a three cent pc-r-gallon lax on gasoline to pay the cost of running the transit system.

The Colonist has [ published numerous letters from readers on the abortion issue, 34 letters in the past; seven weeks alone. Alabama says thanks The Kiwanis Club of Pratt- villc.

Alabama kiwanis Club. Bus fare reasonable I refer to the letter in the Feb. I do not agree with the correspondent about the cost of riding a bus.

Can you get to town and back on a dol lar\’s worth of gas? I think not. You can just pay your car insurance on that As as far as the drivers are concerned, have ydu ever watched the way people treat them?

It is not the drivers\’ fault. As far as J am concerned 50 cents or 60 cents is not too mul-h to ride a bus. And the bus drivers are doing a pretty good job! Instead of applying their energies to putting out the Beekley Farm News, the volunteers will now concentrate on reaching the community through Channel Well, nobody said publishing a paper was easy.

That outlet is so dedicated to the task of bringing community news to Greater Victoria that some shows, such speeches to the chamber of commerce, are broadcast three times. Dumping the Beekley Farm News on the sera- pheapof dead papers large and small was a bad move, it doesn\’t do justice to the many volunteers who have put in a lot of time and dedication to its publication and it short-changes the residents of James Bay.

Below, the gnarled trunk has an uncharacteristic finished look as the rich grain is exposed. Bruce Campbell and Dave Jones look for downed trees that can make good furniture, cut them into boards, cure them, and then make furniture for themselves and friends.

They spent a day on the project, cutting the tree into two and three inch thick boards with an Alaska mill, a rig that fits on to a chainsaw and permits the cutting of straight boards from a tree. Next, the wood will have to be cured, dried carefully so that it docs not warp.

The gaps are made with short sticks at right angles across the boards, and each stick must be placed immediately on top of the slick beneath so the weight of one board will not warp the board beneath it. The boards must be covered on top to keep off rain, but not on the ends, because the wind must blow between them. The general rule of thumb is that for every inch of thickness, the board requires a year to cure. That Rockland oak, then, will not be ready for furniture making until at the earliest.

Jones and Campbell find the wood they obtain by looking for downed trees which could well end up in the fireplace unless they can persuade the owner to give them permission to make lumber out of it. The reputed weakness of Garry- oak comes from the tree\’s gnarled shape. Jones says. When \’you make it into boards you have end-grain coming up all over.

Irene Block said she was not sorry the club would remain in private hands. Current plans arc to locate all obstetric and pediatric services in the region at the new Victoria General Hospital, now under construction on Helmcken Road. Obstetric services will be removed not only from the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, but also from Royal Jubilee Hospital.

There arc always a number of newcomers whenever snow appears in the city, such as this amusing snow-crafted couple seated on bench along Dallas Road seafront.

And where else but in Victoria could such a contrast as this be seen? Victorians will have more opportunities for cold weather capers as snow is expected to be around for some time. But it does have access to plows and graders owned by construction companies. The city\’s chief engineer, John Sansom, explained Tuesday night that the city had only one grader and so far it had not been used at all. But workmen had been salting and sanding major routes liberally in the past two days.

Sansom drove over all major roads Tuesday and said all were passable with care and snow tires. Otherwise the graders and front end loaders tended to compact the snow rather than to clear it. The main problem was drivers using cars without snow tires. Thetis park grows Good news for nature lovers: Thetis Lake Park has grown by acres. It increases the size of the park by about 30 per cent.

And the way they think it should be done is by harvesting more deer.

They suggest that initially 75 doe permits be issued for Nanaimo River and an appropriate, but substantially lesser, number be issued for each of the other watersheds.

They suggest the number would vary annually thereafter in consultation with the Nanaimo Fish and Game Club and upon analysis of the available data.

The club members suggest the doe permits be issued on a limited entry draw system administered from the Nanaimo fish and wildlife office and that initially the doe season be late in the year, probably near or after Dec. Nerves of Steal, Buffered, Special Need.

Baked with maple syrup instead of molasses is the Vermont style. Several other regions of the United States add a tomato or chili sauce to their baked beans, and many people have especially good recipes for baked kidney beans, baked limas and baked peas. Here are some recipes to add depth to your w inter menus.

Drain beans and place in large saucepan; add 6 cups water. Simmer uncovered over low heat one-and-one-half hours or until tender. Turn beans with liquid into bean pot or 2-quart casserole.

Add 2 cup additional water and remaining ingredients; mix well. Cover and bake in degree F oven for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Serves 6 to 8. To peel fruit, cut slice from top, then cut off peel round and round, spiral fashion.

Go over fruit again, removing any remaining white membrane. Slice oranges crosswise, one-fourth-inch thick. Slice onions one-eighth-inch thick and separate slices into rings. Alternate orange slices and onion rings on greens and garnish with green pepper and ripe olives, if desired. Serves 6. Try to use fresh stock from chicken or fish. The effort is worth the extra flavor. If you use canned stock or clam juice, don\’t add salt until you taste the finished soup.

Canned stocks tend to be salty. And frozen vegetables can go in, too. The loose frozen type in poly bags usually are cheaper than the ounce packages. Hoard any bits of cheese, such as Swiss, Gruyere or Parmesan, that have dried out. For the Bouillabaise that follows, remember you can whittle the work down to size by making the tomato sauce portion of the recipe well ahead of serving time.

Italian or pear shape tomatoes, or 1. Make a bouquet garni of the bay leaf, parsley stalks and orange zest. Add it, and a pinch of thyme or basil and a good pinch of saffron to the pot.

Simmer the mixture 15 to 20 minutes. In a separate pot, place the clams or mussels with one cup of water. Cook over high heat until the shells open. Twenty minutes before serving, bring the tomato mixture to a rapid boil. Boil the soup quickly for five minutes and add the more tender fish, such as red snapper, petrale, scallops and raw shrimp or prawns. Cook the soup another five minutes, until the fish is tender. Put the clams into the pot.

Serve the soup to six with Rouille on the side. Note: For this soup, use a combination of firm, lean fish, such as halibut, cod and sea bass, and tender fish, such as red snapper, petrale, scallops and shrimp. Crush the mixture with a pestle until it has a creamy consistency. Add two to three tablespoons fish broth. Cut the semi-frozen block into one-inch cubes. Saute the onions and the garlic in the oil until they are iendcr. In a food processor or blender, puree the shrimp, white sauce and sherry.

Fold them into the stew. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serves 10 to Note: three cups chicken stock or bouillon and one bottle eight ozs. Also, a can Add one-fourth cup milk and a dash of salt and cook until the mixture is thick. Last January I baked a ham that had been purchased in a tin. We had too much meat that time, so it was not used at all.

I have stored it in the freezer ever since. My question is, has it been kept too long to recook and eat now, after almost a year? I do not want to make anyone ill. If we must freeze cured meats, they should be kept no more than two months. Any leftover cured ham can be covered and safely stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days without loss of quality.

I am not totally condemning the ham that you froze for about a year, but it certainly would be taking a chance to eat it Q. I have an unopened canned ham that I\’ve kept in the refrigerator for a few months. If so, how long? The refrigerator shelf life of unopened canned hams that are labelled perishable is usually six months.

All others should keep well in a cool dry place and keep their quality for a year. If you freeze your canned ham, the meat may not spoil but the freezing temperature and dampness may damage the seal of the can and corrode the metal. This could eventually cause spoilage by allowing the entry of spoilage microorganisms. Also, as we answered in the previous question, freezing for a long period is not advisable for cured meats.

My mother and I for years have been baking whole hams. Just before baking time is up, we remove the ham from the oven and, with near-burnt fingers and a lot of mess, remove the rind from the ham. We then score and decorate the top with pineapple and cloves, spoon on the glaze and finish baking the masterpiece. My question is, will it work as well to remove the rind from the ham before baking, leaving the layer of fat intact?

The skin or rind is retained during the greater part of baking a ham to keep the fat intact and to prevent some drying and overbrowning. Some also believe it imparts flavor to the meat. The ham was just as tasty and moist as if the rind had been left on. If you bake the ham with a sweet juice that has to be basted on, the surface may get too brown if the rind has been removed, but otherwise I see no real problem in doing this.

I bought a cheaper cut of ready-to-cook smoked picnic ham and discovered that it was overly salty, but otherwise tasty. I would buy it again if the saltiness could be remedied. Do you have any suggestions?

Try soaking the whole unbaked ham in a large bowl or kettle of cold water at least six hours or overnight, changing the water two to three times. If the sample is too salty, soak the whole ham in fresh cold water for a few hours more.

Janet Gagnon of Fredericton says she believes that changing the names of some kinds of fish would boost their sales.

But when beef prices go up, as they have and probably will again, it will pay to think pork when you think \”pot roast.

A whole fresh picnic will weigh between four and six pounds, which may seem more meat than you need. When you run across a \’good buy on fresh picnic shoulders, take one home. First remove the hock just wiggle the thing a little to find the joint , then cut through the space between the joint. There really is a space. Fresh pork hock is great cooked in a pot of sauerkruat along with a few sausages and then served with boiled potatoes, good mustard, pickles and cold beer. Next remove the skin and most of the fat from he picnic shoulder.

Use the skin to flavor a pot of beans and save the fat for larding roasts or slice it thin to line pate molds. What\’s left is a nice, large, meaty piece of pork for a pot roast and, perhaps, a meal of pork hash. When nicely browned on all sides, remove the meat and set it aside. Put the onion, garlic, mustard seed, cinnamon and nutmeg in the same pan. Cook over low heat until the onion is soft. Push the onions to the side of the pot and return the roast. Baste occasionally with pan juices.

About 30 minutes before the roast is done, add the potatoes, onions and celery. Reduce the pan juices over high heat to about one cup. Skim off fat. Mix cornstarch with a little cold water and add to the pan juices, stirring constantly.

Pour the juices over the roast. Garnish with orange slices and chopped parsley. Serves 8 to I was reading an article in the paper and said to him. One man was pointing a gun at them.
