KinderMorgan is conducting a thoroughsecurity review of the Westridge MarineTerminal after the facility was seized byGreenpeace activists Wednesday.

Spokesman Andrew Galarnyk said thereview will determine how 16 Greenpeaceactivists managed to get inside the site and

chain themselves to the terminalsequipment and front gate.

We are assessing the incidentand the security measures that arein place, said Galarnyk. Wereconducting a thorough investiga-tion of the entire incident.

Galarnyk refused to speculateon how the Greenpeace activistsmanaged to access to the terminal, sayingits too early to tell.

The Greenpeace protesters remained onthe site for about 12 hours, from dawn todusk Wednesday. In addition to chainingthemselves to the terminals front gate andits pumping mechanisms, they dangled

from ropes to unfurl banners andpaint the storage tanks.

Greenpeace B.C. directorStephanie Goodwin said the activ-ists agreed to leave voluntarilyafter discussions with the RCMP.They were escorted off the site,questioned and released. Nocharges have been laid to this

point and Goodwin is hopeful none willbe.

RCMP spokesman Sgt. Peter Thiessensaid the investigation is ongoing, and itstoo early to say whether any charges willbe laid.

The protesters may face legal action

from Kinder Morgan. Galarnyk said thecompany is weighing its legal options. Buthe added that safety was the prime concernduring the incident.

Certainly, we were concerned aboutthe safety of the protesters, the safety of ourstaff and the community, he said. Werehappy it ended peacefully.

Galarnyk said Kinder Morgan is con-ducting a thorough survey of the site toensure there is no damage. He said thereappears to be none.

The Greenpeace action was timed tocoincide with Wednesdays speech fromthe throne in Ottawa. In the speech, which

Burnaby residents posedfor pictures, waved signs andeven delivered doughnuts tothe Greenpeace activists whooccupied the Westridge MarineTerminal on Wednesday.

A number of local residentscame out to show their supportfor the demonstrators who werechained to the front gate and inother areas inside the terminal.

Hartwig Boecking, a 25-yearresident, applauded the protest.

I support this in many ways,he said.

You dont have to be an envi-ronmentalist to be in favour.

Another protester arrived

wearing a large yellow sign read-ing: Clean water is worth moreto us than dirty oil.

The man, who would not givehis name, said he was a formerdog-walker and that all six of hisdogs had died of a form of cancer,which he blames on the toxinshe says are issuing from the ter-minal.

These people, he said, point-ing to the two protesters chainedto the gate, are the bravest soulsout here.

Alan Dutton of BurnabyResidents Opposing KinderMorgan Expansion (BROKE) saidtheres a mixed reaction to theGreenpeace action.

While many have expressedsupport, others are cynical about

the long-term effect, said Dutton.I am optimistic, however, thatthe Greenpeace demonstrationwill not only raise public aware-ness about the multiple dangers ofshipping and storing oil in majorcities it will stimulate debate aboutthe most effective ways to opposebuilding a new larger pipeline,more than doubling oil storagecapacity on Burnaby Mountainand dramatically increasing tank-er traffic through Second Narrowsand Vancouver Harbour.

Greenpeace B.C. directorStephanie Goodwin said the activ-ists were grateful for the support.

It was great, she said. Wealso heard from them that theywant more information and moreinput into this issue.

opened a new session ofParliament, the federal govern-ment renewed its vow to expandpipelines from Alberta to thePacific through B.C. to get tarsands oil to Asian markets.

Greenpeace spokesman PeterLouwe said Greenpeace deliber-ately planned the date so it didnot coincide with a tanker loadingat the terminal.

We deliberately went in whenthere wasnt a loading tankerbecause that might have been

dangerous, said Louwe. Thepurpose was to make a point, andsend a message to the prime min-ister and premier that we have tomove away from dirty oil, and weaccomplished that.

Keith Stewart was one of twoactivists who chained themselvesto the terminals front gate. Hesaid he and his partner had notrouble accomplishing their partof the action.

I cant speak for those inside,but no one challenged us, hesaid.

Tsleil-Waututh elder AmyGeorge was at the terminals frontgate to support the protesters.Although not chained to the gate,she sat beside them, telling report-ers she will do all she can to stopthe pipeline expansion project.

I think its wonderful, and Iwant to thank Greenpeace, saidGeorge, 72.

Im here to stand up for mypeople and for all the people inthe Vancouver area.

The facility is the terminus ofthe Trans Mountain pipeline that

carries bitumen from northernAlberta across B.C. for shipmentoverseas. In Burnaby, the projectwould see the number of tankersthat can dock at the terminal tri-ple to three. Tanker traffic wouldjump to 400 a year.

The scheme would see thenumber of tanks at the Burnabystorage terminal double, with14 new storage tanks installed.That would add another 3.9 mil-lion barrels of oil to the facilityscapacity. Currently, the terminalcan hold 1.6 million barrels.

The Kinder Morgan TransMountain Expansion Project is a$5.4-billion undertaking that wouldtwin the existing 1,150-kilometrepipeline between StrathconaCounty (near Edmonton) andBurnaby, if approved.

THE BIG PICTUREBarrels per day: Would nearlytriple, from 300,000 barrels per dayto 890,000 barrels per day.Size of pipe: 36 inches.Pumping Stations: Jumps by11 to a total of 35.Whats in it: The existing linewould pump refined products,synthetic crude oils and lightcrude oils. The proposed new linewould carry heavier oils, includingbitumen.

WHATS HAPPENING INBURNABY

More storage tanks: The num-ber of tanks at the Burnaby stor-age terminal would double, with 14new storage tanks installed. Thatwould add another 3.9 million bar-rels of oil to the facilitys capacity.Currently, the terminal can hold 1.6million barrels.More tankers at the dock:The number of tankers that coulddock at the Westbridge MarineTerminal would triple to three. Anew vapour recovery and re-injec-tion system to help control emis-sions would also be built.More tankers in BurrardInlet: The number of tankerswould increase dramatically fromabout 60 a year to over 400 a yearif the project is approved.Who has the final say? TheNational Energy Board will reviewthe project and make a recom-mendation to the federal cabinet.Prime Minister Stephen Harperand his cabinet will have the finalsay on whether the project isapproved or not.

TransLink is under fireonce again, after an easyfare evasion tactic was dis-covered with the CompassCard before its rollout.However, Burnaby MayorDerek Corrigan said hesnot surprised that the cardhas been riddled with con-troversy.

The Compass Card andits fare gate system, whichwere brought in to dealwith fare evasion, have aloophole for riders to avoidpaying for all zones andTransLink has said it wasaware of the potential forit.

Ive been warningabout these problems wellbefore they started institut-ing them,Corrigan told theBurnaby NOW. It doesntsurprise me. I imaginemany, many other ways forpeople who are determinedto avoid fares will find away to evade them.

The Compass Card wasrecently embroiled in con-troversy when the projected$171 million cost to imple-ment the system increasedby $23 million.

And thats just the tipof the iceberg, because theyburied as much of thoseexpenses as possible. Itdoesnt count the reno-vation at Metrotown orBroadway, Corrigan said.

The other issue is futuremaintenance costs, whichCorrigan says will be exor-bitant seeing as how thegates will be worn out rap-idly with use.

One of the most expen-sive things to build in a sys-tem is to maintain it. Withthe panels, the abuse theyllbe taking will breakdown regularly. Will theyhave staff out at those loca-tions all the time?What willthey do when they breakdown? How do people getthrough? Will they sendstaff out to open and closethe gates or do it automati-cally from a central office?Will the gates open whentheyre broken?

Corrigan said it comes

down to political pressurethat started with the pro-vincial government.

The (then) Minister ofTransportationKevinFalconwent on holiday to Londonwith his future wife, andthey pointed out having thefare gates in the Londonsystem, he said. Theythen gathered up the con-tribution of federal dollarsand then pushed TransLinkinto doing it despite the factthey werent able to pro-duce any business case tojustify it.

Corrigan said compar-ing a city with eight millionpeople when about 75 percent use the transit system,to a city with two millionwith 14 per cent using tran-sit shows the economicsdont make sense when thesmaller city tries to imple-ment the same system.

Its one of those situ-ations where people real-ly pandered to the publicabout finding a solution tofare evasion knowing fullwell that wasnt going tohappen, he added.

It was politically expe-dited to get a solution, butrealistically youre nevergoing to solve the problem.Its $20 million more a yearto chase after a $5-million-a-year problem, which makesno economic sense at all.

However, TransLinksMike Madill, vice-presidentof enterprise initiatives,told the NOW the author-ity is taking a multi-facetedapproach to reduce fareevasion.

We think that theCompass Card is going tohelp us reduce the amountof fare evasion, he said in aphone interview. We dontwant to talk about meth-

ods people might (use to)cheat the system. Theresno system thats a perfectsystem.

Madill said all TransLinkreally wants is people topay and the vast majoritydoes.

We want everybodyelse to pay their fares too,he added.

The extra $23 millioncost, Madill said, camefrom inflation, extra projectmanagement charges andsystem changes as the origi-nal budget was drafted in2009.

Its a long-term invest-ment,hesaidwhenasked ifadding more Transit Policewould have been cheaper.A lot of our equipmentis nearing the end of itslife. Current fare equipmentwas needed, and we had tomake an investment in newequipment anyway.

Through the CompassCards beta testing, otherissues were highlightedsuch as the noise readerbeing too low in volume,unable to read the screenin bright sunlight and themachine being slow in rec-ognizing the card, Madillsaid.

Were looking to tweakthat, he added. Im com-fortable by the time the gatesystem goes into full oper-ating mode well have thatall sorted out.

The Compass Cards willbe fully rolled out in spring2014.

As for Corrigan, he saidthe whole process has beenfrustrating.

Its not worth payingall that money when I knowpeople are determined toevade fares. They will finda way around the system.

Each homeless personhas his or her own lifecircumstance that led tohomelessness. It could be any-thing from employment loss orgeneral economic downturn tofire, illness, physical disability,family breakdown,abuse, mental illness,or drug addiction.

Homelessnesscan happen to anyone regard-less of income, status, education,lifestyle, age, race or gender.The faces of homelessness arediverse.

Few people realize that some80 per cent of homeless peopledont even live on the street.Theyre known as the invisiblehomeless. These are people wholive in their cars, in church base-ments, in temporary shelters,or on the floors and couches offriends and family.

A home is more than just aroof that keeps you dry it isa place of safety, nourishment,refuge, comfort and dignity. Asafe and stable home is neces-sary for food security, health,self-sufficiency and positiverelationships with others. Homemakes a healthy and productivelife possible.

Im incredibly proud toserve as chair of the GreaterVancouver regional steeringcommittee on homelessness,which organizes HomelessnessAction Week (Oct. 13 to 19) eachyear, along with hundreds ofvolunteers, to engage our resi-

dents in homelessness and itssolutions.

We believe the solution is tostart with home providingsecure, permanent housing topersons without it. Once peopleare securely housed, the sup-

port services that maybe required to maintaintheir housing becomemuch more effective in

helping them to permanentlyend their homelessness. Weknow this has proven effectivein other cities in Canada.

Who needs help the most?Weve found that seniors,youth, families and aboriginalpeoples are over-representedin the homeless population.In the 2011 Metro VancouverHomeless Count, 27 per cent ofthe surveyed homeless popula-tion was of aboriginal ancestry a figure that has varied onlyslightly since 2005. During thatsame count, 397 youth underthe age of 25 were found to behomeless, a full quarter of themhomeless for more than a year.And we encountered the highestever number of homeless fami-lies: 56 in total with 54 children.Further, it was alarming to findthat the number of homelessseniors (age 65 and up) tripledfrom 2002 to 2011.

We need to do better.The steering committee brings

together the regions leadingorganizations, government agen-cies, funders

A right to live must also include a right to dieLast week, the B.C. Court of Appeal

ruled that Canadas laws against assistedsuicide are constitutional.

They may very well be, but it doesnot make them just.

The governments argu-ment in appealing a lowercourt ruling that struck the lawdown was that assisted suicidewould demean the value of life andopen up vulnerable people to risk ofabuse.

Laws against assisted suicide have

their origins in early Catholic Churchdoctrine. Several church groupsappeared as interveners during theappeal.

For some who have watched a lovedone die slowly and in agonywith no hope of respite, letalone recovery, law and doc-trine are impossible to accept.

A law that forces people to live inprogressively worse pain as their dignitydwindles away until they inevitably diedemeans life.

The practice is no longer outlawedin some more progressive jurisdictions,where rigorous fail-safes are in placeto make sure no one ever goes throughwith it unless they are of sound mind.

To be clear: We are not advocatingassisted suicide as some form of state-sponsored solution to severe depres-sion or as one of a series of treatmentoptions.

We stand with Chief Justice LanceFinch, who, in his dissenting opinion,said: The point at which the meaning

of life is lost, when lifes positive attri-butes are so diminished as to render lifevalueless, when suffering overwhelmsall else, is an intensely personal decisionwhich everyone has the right to makefor him or herself.

For the sake of those who live inconstant pain or face a demeaning deathwith no prospect of relief, it is time tomove the conversation into a new light.

Its unfortunate that our federal gov-ernment does not wish to take the leadon such an initiative.

The solution startswith home

Dog owners have lessons to learnDear Editor:

I walked around Burnaby Lake last Sunday withmy very well-trained dog. One hundred per cent ofthe dogs I met were not vicious playful, excited,happy or nervous, but not vicious.

The same could not be said for about 80 per centof the owners who were nervous, timid, aggressiveor fearful. If their dog started to approach my dog both with tails wagging many of the ownersdeployed such tactics as yelling at me to keep mydog away from theirs, pulling their dog in so closeit was walking on its hind legs only, ducking behindtrees or in one instance, even climbing a tree.

What is the city creating where people are so

afraid of their dogs approaching another they haveto climb a tree to protect their bichon frise from aninquiring sniff?

It seems to me that the problem is not that thereis an increase in vicious dogs, but there is a defi-nite increase in people who dont understand dogsand dog etiquette.

They dont understand their own dog, nor dothey understand the need to socialize their dogs.A puppy is always going to be bouncy and fullof energy but that is no reason to stop it fromapproaching another dog. By doing that, the dogwill never learn manners and down the road, it maydo something that may be interpreted, or actually,be vicious to other dogs or people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It seems to me three things need to hap-pen here: The city needs to be a lot moreproactive in encouraging people to social-ize their dogs through classes, etc., and inthe process, the owners should educatedas to what is normal dog behaviour andwhat is not.2. The owners need to be more proactive inteaching their dogs the basics come when

called, sit, heel, stay.3. Dog owners need to be less fearful ofdogs interacting when they meet. I alwayscall out, My dog is friendly! whenapproaching people with dogs that wantto meet but then I have a well-traineddog who has been socialized.

Other people need to be less fearful andmore confident about their dogs social-izing even puppies have to start some-where.

and community task forcesto collaboratively inves-tigate and plan to endhomelessness.

We develop and main-tain a regional homeless-ness plan and sponsora regional count of thehomeless population everythree years.

The very nature ofinvisible homelessnessmakes it challenging toquantify. While we get asample of those living intemporary shelters, we donot capture everyone whomay be invisibly homeless.

Many informally payrent by doing survivalsex work, chores or othertypes of labour. Often onehas to give an address toaccess support servicessuch as food banks or shel-

ter allowances. In thesecases a family or friendsaddress is sometimes used,which keeps their home-lessness hidden.

That is why we con-tinue to foster collabora-tion among more than 100organizations that workon homelessness day inand day out: to enrichour understanding of thetrue extent of this issue.For example, HollyburnFamily Services on theNorth Shore gets 20 callsa day from seniors at riskof becoming homeless.Research done by theUnited Way of the LowerMainland shows that thenumber of seniors wait-ing for social housingincreased by 45 per centfrom 2009 to 2012. Eachsteering committee mem-

ber brings an importantpiece of the puzzle to thetable.

We, as a community,must find permanent solu-tions to homelessness. Thisgoes beyond providingpeople with shelter.

Its about providingpeople with a home, asafe and permanent placeto live, while supportingthem with services thathelp break the cycle ofhomelessness. To learnhow you can help and getinvolved in HomelessnessAction Week visit www.stophomelessness.ca.

With a rising number of mental health-related calls, Burnaby Mounties are usinga proactive strategy to help complete thecircle of care for people in need of help.

Two years ago, Burnaby RCMP intro-duced a new position in the detachment a mental health intervention coordina-tor.

There was a need identified by ourmanagement that they needed some kindof liaison role between the detachment, thepolice, the hospital and the mental healthcommunity, said Const. James Grandy.

Grandy volunteered for the positionin 2011 and since then has been respon-sible for creating comprehensive plans forpeople who trigger multiple police calls ona monthly, and sometimes weekly, basis.Together with nurses from Fraser Health,Grandy develops plans to help these repeatcallers get the help they need.

Its involving people who have exper-tise in this area and have the resourcesand ability to put together a managementplan, he said. In some cases its having apsychiatrist involved, or sometimes its acase worker involved.

Once a week Grandy meets with aFraser Health nurse to go over the fileshes working on. They share information,be it regarding a person who has beendealt with by police, as sometimes Fraser

Health isnt even aware of the person.By sharing information, police and

health professionals are able to provide awell-rounded cycle of care, Grandy said.

We discuss files and people in thecommunity who we found are either high-risk or chronic in nature due to theirmental health, and we would go out andvisit these people and problem solve theirissues, he added.

According to a Burnaby RCMP reportrecently submitted to city council, BurnabyMounties responded to 1,476 mentalhealth-related calls in 2012, a nine per centincrease from 2011.

While Grandy is sure the number ofcalls will continue to rise as new peoplein the community deal with mental healthissues, he hopes that by being proactivewith repeat and chronic callers, Burnabycan reduce or eliminate these calls alto-gether.

There are several people who havebeen identified as being a burden on policeresources, and so I have, in consultationwith mental health (workers), been ableto reduce a lot of their calls for service,he said.

One person in particular stands out toGrandy. Earlier this year, a man was call-ing police on a regular basis, sometimesmultiple times a month. It turned out theman was an alcoholic, so Grandy took hisfile to Fraser Healths substance abuse ser-vices and after getting the help he needed,police havent been called to his homesince.

Thats an example of us being able toidentify somebodys need and being ableto know who to contact and who to hookthat person up with in the community,Grandy said.

Indias mother ofstrength, power and wis-dom graced the city withher presence as the DurgaPuja festival was celebratedin style over theweekend.

The five-dayBengali festival,from Oct. 10 to14, was put onby the executivecommittee ofUTSAB, whichis a culturalheritage groupof Bengal, at aHindu templein Burnaby.

For theBengalis, this isthe most impor-tant festival,Leena Roy,the societysgeneral secre-tary, told theBurnaby NOW.W h i c h e v e rpart of the world were in,we celebrate Durga Puja.

The group rented out asection of the local Hindutemple and filled the hallswith drumming, prayers,good deeds and socializ-ing, as Roy said its a time

for new families to meet.Its a special kind of

drum, Roy said about thedhak. The moment youhear the beat of the drum, itfills the air. When you hearthat, you get the feeling ofDurga Puja right here. It

fills your heartand mind witha festive feel-ing, with thejoy. Ladiesand men willalso do a spe-cial kind ofdance in frontof the goddess.Its a beautiful,festive feel-ing.

The festi-val celebratesthe goddessMa Durga,who is calleddown for thefive days anddestroys evil inthe universe.

We believein bringing

her on this Earth once ayear because we feel thatsomehow, throughout theyear, different kinds of evilforces try to take over andcreate an imbalance, Roynoted. Therefore, once ayear, we call her, we wel-

come her on this Earth totake away, to destroy allthe evil forces and fill theuniverse with goodness(and) strength.

A special priest per-formed a ceremony, andeach day, the society orga-nized two large meals inthe afternoon and evening.

Roy said the afternoonmeals fed about 175 people,while the evening mealssaw more than 300 everyday.

This has actually beenthe sixth year of the celebra-tion, she said. We startedoff on a small scale, andevery year its been grow-ing and getting better withmore response from people,more help and support coming in.

Roy noted that peoplefrom any religious or cultur-al background are welcometo join in on the harmoni-ous, colourful and positivecelebrations.

We embrace every reli-gion, our doors open to allfaiths, she added. Shes(Ma Durga) supposed to bethe mother of the universe.Children and seniorscome and try to get themaximum blessing for therest of the year.

Cooking with pumpkins

Pumpkins are obvi-ously one of themore popular har-vests this time of the year.

I feel that pumpkin, as afood, is quite neglected inour everyday diets.

Although this brightorange squash is approxi-mately 90 per cent water,it is loaded with beta-carotene (an importantantioxidant) and a list ofnutritional elements thatplay an important role in awell-balanced diet.

Pumpkin is a memberof the squash family and,as with all squash, is afruit. Any product of aplant containing seedsis botanically classifiedas fruit, just like melonsfor example. There aretwo main general typesof squash summersquash and winter squash.Summer squash are onesthat can not be storedfor long periods of time.Zucchini would be anexcellent representation of

a popular summer squash.Winter squash, on theother hand, can be storedfor long periods of timeunder ideal storage condi-tions. They should be keptaway from light and inan area that is moderatelycooler than room tempera-ture. Good ventilation isalso necessary. Along withpumpkins, other wintersquash are acorn, butter-nut and autumn squash.

Pumpkins are mostpopularly used as jack-o-lanterns on Halloweennight and in varyingrecipes for pies, cakes andsoups. Rarely does onesee pumpkin served atthe table on its own. It canbe used in any applica-tion that one would useother winter squashesand undeniably will offermore flavour to the dish.Cubes of oven-roastedpumpkin, in a medley ofother colourful vegetables,are a perfect accompani-ment to an autumn meal.Alternatively, try usingsmall chunks of pump-kin in your next stir-fryor pasta dish. To makepreparation easier, cut thepumpkin into workablepieces to aid in peelingand chopping. Wintersquashes should always be

peeled before consuming.Their tougher skin is

often challenging for thetraditional vegetable peel-er, and therefore a knifemay be more facilitatingfor this task. Afterwards,chop the pumpkin intopieces best suited for therecipe being planned.

As well as the flesh,the seeds are also edible.The seeds are sometimeseasily forgotten about anddiscarded along with theinnards. Roasted pumpkinseeds can easily be pre-pared and transformedinto a nutritional snack.Separate the seeds fromthe extracted inner fila-ments and lightly coat theseeds with vegetable orolive oil. Toss with saltand pepper or seasoningsalt, if desired, and roastthem on a baking sheet ina 450-degree oven, stirringoccasionally, until goldenbrown and crispy, approx-imately 12 to 15 minutes.Be careful to watch themclosely, as they burn quiteeasily. Serve them in abowl on their own, orwith a mixture of otherseeds, nuts and driedfruit. Pumpkin seeds arecredited with a numberof medicinal propertiesand are a great source

of numerous minerals.However, due to their highfat content, they shouldalways be consumed inmoderation.

Dear Chef Dez:We always buy cans ofpureed pumpkin this timeof year for different dessertrecipes. Since pumpkins areavailable fresh, wouldnt itbe more economical to makeit myself? How do I go aboutdoing this?

John G.Chilliwack, B.C.

Dear John:It can be done quite eas-

ily. Cut a fresh pumpkin inhalf and remove the seedsand the stringy filaments.Place the cut sides downon a baking sheet and bakein a 350-degree oven untilthe flesh is very tender approximately one hour.Spoon the cooked fleshoff the skin and into afood processor and pureeuntil smooth. Transfer itto a large, fine wire meshstrainer set over a bowl,cover and let drain in therefrigerator overnight.Discard the liquid, and usethe drained puree.

Question:We had terrible blight on

our tomatoes this year, so Iended up throwing out lotsof little tomatoes. Does blightaffect pole beans as well orany other vegetables? Whatcan be done about it so thatwe dont have the same prob-lem next year? Heidi Naman, by email

Answer:Pole beans dont get

blight, but potatoes do.The last two summershave been so warm anddry, its been easy toharvest good crops ofpotatoes. But in a normalyear with sporadic rain,many potato plants haveblight by the beginning ofAugust.

Peppers can get lateblight but usually dont.Eggplants are also said tobe susceptible.

Blight is a fungal infec-tion that blows into gar-dens on rainy winds orsplashes up from infectedsoil. It thrives on wet foli-age.

Thats why the usualadvice is to grow tomatoesunder cover: in green-houses, or outside underpolyethylene tunnels orunder south or west wallroof overhangs. Keepingtomato plants dry definite-ly stops blight and enablesyou to grow most anytomato you wish, includ-ing heritage varieties.

But not everyone hascover available. Peoplewith no shelter for toma-toes can get good harvestsoutside by growing blight-resistant tomatoes. Whentheir roots are in natural

soil, tomatoes grow fastand produce massivecrops.

The oldest blight-resis-tant variety is the large-fruited Legend, which issometimes sold as a trans-plant in garden centres.Breeding of blight-resistanttomatoes is conventional(not GMO).

This and the newerblight-resistant varietiescan be grown from seed.Gardeners who start theirown transplants can har-vest big crops of tomatoesby summers end. Blighton these varieties startsvery late and moves veryslowly.

Blight-resistant vari-eties I grew this yearinclude the cherry tomatoMountain Magic, thepaste-type Roma VF, andthe beefsteak-type Defiant.

Only recently havethese seeds become com-mercially available, andnot everyone has beenoffering them. This year Ibought mine online fromVeseys (www.veseys.com).Grown outside, tomatoesare somewhat later toripen, but quantities areimmense, and with blight-resistant tomatoes theplants are still producingwhen blight-stricken toma-toes have given up.

By the end ofSeptember all my tomatoeswere black with blighton the older stems butstill had fresh, green newstems. By mid-Octoberthe new stems were stillblight-free, and so wasthe remaining green fruitwhich had to be ripenedinside.

Tomatoes are easy tofreeze (just wash them, drythem and drop them into aplastic bag). Once frozen,their skin lifts off easilyif theyre held under hot,running water.

Anne Marrison is happy toanswer gardening questionssent to [email protected].
