elisa Hendricks competes on CBC program
Gibsons resident Elisa Hendricks competes on CBC’s Recipe to Riches, battling against contestants from Newmarket and Markham, ON to produce the top appetizer as the se-ries’ fourth episode airs Wednesday, March 19 at 9 p.m. The winner re-ceives a $50,000 cash prize and the recipe will eventually be offered as a President’s Choice® product. The winner of each round goes forward to compete in the live series finale for the $250,000 grand prize.
In a backstage interview, Hen-dricks noted her family – particular-ly her father – is her inspiration. The mother of two draws deeply on her Italian heritage and her childhood memories of time spent in the kitch-en with her parents. “All those family recipes have a story and that’s what’s so special about them,” she says. “It’s food, sure, but it’s also about your family’s heritage and where we came from.” She grew up learning to cook from her parents. “Now that I’m a mom it became important to me to learn a lot of the recipes and the beautiful things my parents cooked, in particular the recipes my parents brought back from Italy. I really wanted that to be part of my chil-dren’s childhood as well.”
For Hendricks, winning the CBC’s challenge would be a trib-ute to her father, who emigrated to Canada from Northern Italy’s Friuli region 50 years ago. Her appetizer, dubbed ‘Italian Lollipops,’ are based on her joke that any Italian lollipop should include meat and cheese. The recipe that got her into the competi-tion puts Friuliano cheese (a tribute to her father) wrapped in mortadella sausage on a stick, and gives it a crispy coating.
Competing to impress a panel of three judges (marketing guru Arlene Dickinson, Vancouver chef/entre-preneur Vikram Vij, and food expert Gail Simmons) caused Hendricks to step outside her comfort zone. She says “I wanted to show my kids that sometimes you just have to stick your neck out there, do something differ-ent, have an adventure, take some risks and do something that’s kind of fun and crazy.”
Results will be posted on The Local Weekly’s website and Facebook page.Heather Jeal

Horoscope March 21 to March 27
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Checking in with your
partner(s), friends and/or other key players is extra important now but may require concentrated effort. Increase cooperation efforts for best results.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Managing your time care-fully, being sure not to over commit and deciphering the line between give and receive are considerations. Acquir-ing specific tools and skills and calibrating focus and attitude are featured themes.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
You may wonder about what constitutes your most effective role and/or where your best place is in the world. Circumstances may be re-quiring that you make some very definite sacrifices. Have faith; resurrection quickly fol-lows crucifixion.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Tensions are rising, but
these may also be passions. You feel both excited and nervous. Things are shak-ing close to home. Cooper-ation from significant oth-ers is important and you are not asking…!
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)It is time to go big. You
have likely been undergoing a lot of changes and it has not been easy. You want and per-haps need the cooperation of others. The time is right to collaborate. Let your ideas and visions flow.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)A passionate and deter-
mined cycle has begun, rquiring your full attention, awareness and will to act in-dependently. Cooperation is wise; avoid passive attitudes of reliance and expectation. It’s your turn to bat and the team is counting on you.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Something new is brewing
in your relationships and it looks exciting. Whatever is happening, you are destined to play an active role. This includes a creative and asser-tive approach. Though your confidences are rising, you remain somewhat cautious. Keep a sharp eye on the ball.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
The ante is going up. Rec-ognize that it is all a game and see the beauty in it. Consider that learning is winning and playing is life.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
You are in a playful and provocative mood. You want to experience the unconven-tional; normal and predict-able will simply not do. If you have one condition it is that

there is beauty to appreci-ate. Spring is here and you want some excitement.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Getting to the bottom of things, you are hardly in a conservative mood. You feel compelled to take some extra measures or perhaps peel off some inhibitions. It’s your turn to have a party.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Many new ideas, per-spectives and realizations are rolling in, leading you to be more assertive. This will require more freedom than usual. Express your beauty for all to see and the
lucky ones to feel.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)You are getting ready
to enter new territory…again. Creating new possi-bilities for self-expression,
the cultivation of talents and perhaps for some mea-surable returns is leading your focus.

E-Comm – the 9-1-1 an-swer point serving Metro Vancouver, Sunshine Coast and the Sea to Sky corridor – today launched Canada’s first Text with 9-1-1 (T9-1-1) service for members of the Deaf, Hard-of-Hear-ing and Speech Impaired (DHHSI) community, in conjunction with its emer-gency-service partners.
Any DHHSI person in E-Comm’s service area who has pre-registered their cell-phone with their wireless carrier for the service will be able to communicate with police, fire and ambu-lance call-takers in case of emergency.
DHHSI callers first dial 9-1-1 to establish a voice network connection; when
the call is received, the cen-tre receives an automatic alert thata a DHHSI caller is on the line and the call-taker will then launch the messaging system allowing communication through a special text session.
This service is available only to the DHHSI com-munity. Submitted

Served on the Internation-al Space Station, Holy Crap now offered at TED Café
Holy Crap, the Drag-ons’ Den phenomenon and fastest selling gluten-free, non-GMO, organic break-fast cereal will be served in Vancouver and Whistler at next week’s TED2014 and TEDActive 2014.
TED attendees have come to expect awesome snacks at the conference venue to keep them ener-gized TED2014’s new Van-couver home will be offer-ing at least one local snack.
“We’re thrilled Holy Crap was selected to be a product partner at TED2014,” says the cereal company’s CEO, Corin Mullins. “It’s seren-dipitous that Chris Had-field is speaking at TED as he was the inspiration for me to create our new single
serve cereal cups.”Holy Crap cereal won a spot
on Hadfield’s Mission 34/35 at the International Space Sta-tion when Riley Weimer, a 9 year-old Abbotsford, BC stu-dent, won the Canadian Space Agency’s Snacks in Space con-test by entering Holy Crap cereal. Riley’s contest entry read, “Holy Crap cereal (this is not a joke): You add either water or milk or soy milk. It is an awesome, great tasting, very healthy snack.”
“Six months before Com-mander Hadfield’s mission on the International Space Station Holy Crap cereal was shipped to NASA for pack-aging in single serve packag-es for Hadfield’s menu dur-ing Expedition 35,” explains Mullins, “We were thrilled to receive a photo of Holy Crap in space. It inspired me to create single serve
cereal cups for all our cus-tomers. Holy Crap Original and Holy Crap Plus Oats in single serve cups were just launched in January 2014.
The Gibsons, BC com-pany was approached by Colette Lynch, Procreation Design Works, just days be-fore the conference start in-viting their participation as a product partner at TED.
“We are choosy about who we partner with – showcasing only the best of the best, fea-turing all natural ingredients, organic flavors and innovative packaging, explained Lynch. “I came across the product at my local grocer and took a chance on contacting Holy Crap to see if they could ship 3,000 single cereal cups with-in two days.”
“My husband, Brian, and I have been TED fans since the early days and we jumped at
Holy Crap selected for TED2014 and TEDActive attendeesthe chance to share our cereal with TED attendees, what an honour,” says Mullins.
Holy Crap is the world’s most amazing breakfast ce-real. The handmade, certi-fied organic, non-genetically modified, allergen-free cereal line was born in 2009 from the desire for a great-tasting cereal safe for people with food allergies. Now, Holy Crap Cereal products are sold in over 2,500 stores and are favorites of athletes, diabet-ics, celiacs, dieters and even astronauts, who brought the cereal with them to the Inter-national Space Station.Submitted

By Mary Polak, Minister of Environment
Valuing parks and protected areas Recently, proposed amendments to the Park Act were
introduced in the legislature to provide clarity for certain activities within BC’s provincial parks. Included in the pro-posed amendments is the issuing of permits for research and information gathering.
To be absolutely clear, these proposed amendments do not allow, promote or otherwise enable industrial projects in parks and protected areas. The Park Act prohibits indus-trial activity in parks and this will not change with Bill 4.
Currently, issuing research permits for studies includ-ing those on potential impacts of activities on parks is not authorized under the Park Act. Research and information gathering activities could include such things as soil sam-pling for archaeological assessments, collection of plant and animal specimens, or the installation of gauges and in-struments to measure environmental conditions. Research can be purely for academic purposes, or as part of an en-vironmental assessment. This information is vital in mak-ing informed decisions, and will be especially important if requests for adjustments to park boundaries are eventually proposed.
Permits would only be considered after a thorough review of the protected area values, including management plans, impact assessments and conservation risk assessments. Re-search applicants would have to make every effort to avoid adverse impacts in protected areas.
In order for land to be removed from a park, a boundary adjustment must be made because new industrial activity will not be allowed in our parks. BC’s protected areas have a high level of protection, and decisions to make boundary adjustments are not taken lightly. There is a rigorous process in place for reviewing boundary adjustments which includes consultations with First Nations, the public and stakehold-ers. The impact in the park or protected area, feasibility of alternative sites, and the environmental and socio-economic impact are all factors that are considered when determining whether or not to make a boundary adjustment.
As a result of this rigour, since 2004 only eight propo-nent-led requests for park boundary adjustments have been approved (and just .006% of lands –562 hectares – have been removed from parks). Four other requests have been rejected, while others have been withdrawn by the propo-nent. Ultimately, boundary adjustments require legislative approval. As with other policies, the Ministry of Environ-ment welcomes feedback on this draft policy. To review and comment on the draft permit policy, visit: www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/permits/consultation/research-policy.html
Thank you!We would like to thank
everyone who assisted in helping find our daughter Tonielle King-Rose when she went missing on March12, 2014 from Sechelt.
It takes a community that bands together to ensure our children are safe. We met many caring individu-als during our search and professionals who went above and beyond. We are grateful that our prayers were answered. Now is the time for healing and learn-ing from our mistakes.
Special thank you: to the Sunshine Coast RCMP and their 24-hour support during our search. Their thorough investigation of potential leads and interac-tions with other agencies enabled us to find her and she is now safe; to all the people we know and don’t know personally for the endless hours of praying and searching for her in and around their communities; to the Edmonton Police for following up on a potential lead which lead to the find-ing of our daughter.
We cannot express enough gratitude and hope to some-day pay it forward. Our most sincere heartfelt thank you.Kim King and Glyn Rose, Sechelt
No impact on taxesYour editorial, in the
March 12, 2014 edition suggested that the outcome of the referendum would impact property taxes for years to come.
To clarify, the Green Mu-nicipal Fund loan will be repaid from existing fees paid by residents who are connected to the District of Sechelt sewer system.
Also, there will be no need for property tax increases now or in the future to fund any portion of the Wastewa-ter Treatment Project.Victor Mema,Chief Financial Officer,District of Sechelt
FATCA not thrillingThe relationship between
Canada and the United States is about to reach an all-time low because of a law passed in the US in 2010 and soon to be implement-ed in Canada. It’s called the Foreign Account Tax Com-pliance Act (FATCA) and re-quires every bank outside the US to report their American account holders to the IRS – or face economic sanctions.
Because the United States subjects its citizens and green card holders to a dias-pora tax on their Canadian earnings and requires them to report on their savings, this is expected to have an unprecedented and dev-astating effect on approxi-mately one million Cana-dians, their families and business partners.
In a letter addressed to me personally, the Honour-able John Weston MP has stated that he is “thrilled” to inform me that his govern-ment has recently signed an Intergovernmental Agree-ment (IGA) to help facilitate this transfer of information to the IRS, an act believed by many to be in contraven-tion of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Every Canadian should be gravely concerned about what this means to Canada. First of all, the IGA will now make discrimination based on national origin legal in Canada. Second of all, it will result in the transfer of earnings on Canadian reg-
istered savings plans to the US Treasury to fund services not used in Canada. Fur-thermore, it’s expensive to implement and will cost all Canadians dearly. The Sco-tiabank has already spent $100M in startup costs for FATCA. For more informa-tion on what this means to you as a Canadian and how you can lend valuable sup-port in fighting this threat to Canada’s sovereignty, please visit the Isaac Brock Society website.
Prime Minister Harper is right. We will not recognize Canada when he’s through with it.Suzanne Herman, Gibsons
Yes means yesThe ‘yes’ vote won, if only
by 15 votes but it won - the people have spoken. As I understand it, a referendum requires 50 per cent of the votes plus one. After that happened and the people (voters) had spoken it was not for the District to ques-tion the outcome so why are we spending any time dissecting it? Would those opposed have wanted that if the NO’s had won by 15 votes – Councillor Lutes? I will be so bold as to state that when something is be-ing proposed, as it was in this case, those who oppose it WILL be sure to get out and vote against it. Those who are in favour of what is being proposed or am-bivalent to it will often not bother to get out and vote because they are happy if the vote passes or in some cases, when they can’t make up their minds, they are fine with either outcome. My point here is that I be-lieve the people (voters) who wanted a NO vote had their voices heard – there
were 853 of them. The re-maining 6,786 eligible vot-ers (868 who took the time to vote YES) were either in favour of the referendum or ambivalent. None of these numbers increase the num-bers of the NO votes. The opposition to the referen-dum, with the most vocal and visible voters, was large-ly personal not business. The carryover from previous ‘battles’ lost has caused these people to want to win – at any expense. It’s time we put our differences aside and pour our collective energy into improving the future of our lovely community. Instead of fighting change and growth let us work at managing it because as we know, change is inevitable and no growth often means eventual demise. Carolyn Minchin, Sechelt

How much should you drink during a run? Recent sports science suggests that drinking according to thirst is best for most people. Trust your body – it’s not “too late” when you’re thirsty. When running for less than 2 hours, plain water is all you need. For longer runs, sports drinks like Gatorade (offered at the Fool’s Run aid stations) can help keep you going. However, be warned: upset stom-ach is a common side effect of using sports drinks late in a race. Fortunately, you don’t actually have to swal-low the Gatorade to get the energy boost. If you swish it around in your mouth then spit it out, your brain will be tricked into thinking you’ve consumed it! Just be sure to shoulder check before spitting!

We want to know what you think about these ideas. Please share your views at one of two public meetings in Sechelt or Gibsons.

The budget numbers were presented this week, with increases that caused angst among the directors, who had to decide what was best for the present and future of constituents in their areas. One of the major costs is the green waste program. Previ-ously, tipping fees for con-struction and other materi-als covered the cost of green waste going to the landfill, but now these fees only barely cover costs. Board discussions centered on how the SCRD can pay for the $200,000 in costs to run the green waste program, as tip-ping fees alone would leave landfills in a deficit position. Board members felt that raising tipping fees would only lead to more material

being dumped in the bush. The final decision for this year was to raise taxes to pay for the green waste program and to have further meet-ings to look at options for funding in the future.
The province of BC in-formed the SCRD that in order to keep the Gibsons pool open, the floor must be replaced for health and safety reasons. This project is costly and adds to the overall increase to the budget.
The managers of water and other SCRD depart-ments are looking at asset management with the idea of maintaining and upgrad-ing our infrastructure and facilities on an ongoing ba-sis. Water has always had a program to upgrade infra-structure and now also has an implemented asset man-agement plan. An energy ef-ficiency program is in place at the SCRD to reduce con-sumption. The initial costs of this program will cause taxes to go up but will save funds in future tax years.
When the SCRD Board applies for provincial and federal grants, senior govern-ments look at asset manage-ment and energy efficiency programs with the expecta-tion that the local govern-
ment has a plan in place.A focus of attention later
in the spring and summer is drinking water. Con-stituents have read that the snow pack is low compared to other years. This in itself is not a cause for concern, because summertime water levels in Chapman Lake rely mainly on spring and
summer rainfall. The last time we had low water lev-els at Chapman Lake, it was back to capacity after five days of rain. Even so, it is always helpful to conserve water at every opportunity. Please contact me about any of these items or other con-cerns at 604-741-2427 or [email protected]
Vancouver Coastal Health will be consulting with the Sunshine Coast community to gauge resi-dents’ attitudes towards re-naming St. Mary’s Hospital in Sechelt. Additional Open House dates and locations have been added to the original schedule. Alterna-tively, anyone wishing to contribute their thoughts can also do so in an email to [email protected].
Residents may register their opinions in person:
Saturday, March 29 – noon to 4pm at Sunnycrest Mall, Gibsons.
More dates for hospital name consultation Sunday, March 30 –
noon to 4pm at Trail Bay Centre, Sechelt.
Monday, March 31 – 4 to 8pm, St. Mary’s Hospi-tal, Main Lobby
Organizers hope to add another Open House on shíshálh First Nation lands.
“Ultimately the Provincial Government will have the final say in the re-naming of the St. Mary’s Hospital and we want to make sure as many voices from the Sun-shine Coast are heard,” says Lauren Tindall, VCH Direc-tor of the Sunshine Coast.Submitted

Why refinish?Whether you’ve had hard-wood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

The calendar might say it’s spring, and even if Mother Nature is sleep-ing in, some basic garden maintenance tasks can make the yard ready to welcome the season when-ever it arrives.
Pruning is best done before trees begin to fully leaf out. Trim off winter-killed branches and thin out ‘suckers’ and other shoots to let light and air circulate among the main branches and support new growth as the sap starts running again.
Cut back any perenni-als that escaped a fall trim
Cleanup prepares for season’s new growth(hydrangeas will benefit particularly). Trim flower-ing perennials to about six inches height, and orna-mental grasses back to just two or three inches to al-low new growth to shoot up. Divide the heaviest clumps (allow at least three stems per clump) and either use them to fill in bare spots, or trade them with friends.
Rose bushes may have suffered damage this win-ter, during the various cold snaps. Any blackened canes should be cut back to about an inch below the dead area. Remove old,
woody stems from climb-ing roses and re-tie the young, flexible stems to the available supports.
Rake mulch, dead leaves, etc. back from beds to ex-pose new shoots to the warm sunlight. The debris can go into the compost. Don’t have a compost for green waste? Now is a good time to set one up. Not sure how to set up a green waste compost, or what benefits it provides? Check the March 27 is-sue of the Local Weekly’s Home and Garden pages where we explain the how and why of creating your own soil from garden and kitchen waste.
After the cleanup, check the garden and note which beds are overcrowded, need to be replenished with fresh topsoil, or could use a few transplants to brighten their effect. Spring is a good time to take a fresh approach to the garden’s design. In the March 27 issue of the Lo-cal Weekly’s Home and Garden pages, landscape architect Judith Reeve dis-cusses the hows and whys of garden redesign.Heather Jeal

Springtime projects offer summer payoffSpring arrives at 8:57 a.m.
on Thursday, March 20. The past winter’s freeze-
and-thaw sessions may have damaged gutters; spring is a good time to clean and check them. Then consider installing a rain barrel to har-vest the spring rains for gar-den irrigation once the sum-mer water restrictions come into effect. Some rain barrels include built-in planters.
Select a downspout close to a planted bed or other site that will need extra wa-ter. Level the ground where
the barrel will be sited, then set a foundation of cement blocks to elevate it by about a foot so gravity will help drain it. Saw the downspout so it ends about six inches above the barrel, and reinstall the bottom ‘elbow’ and orient it to the water flows into the centre of the barrel’s screened top, or if the barrel has a divert-er instead of a screened top, attach the downspout with a flex tube.
Early spring is an excel-lent time to repair walk-
ways. Loosened pavers, cracked concrete and other damage can create trip-ping hazards, and should be fixed ready to welcome guests later in the season.
Call in the experts for the big jobs, but for pav-ers or flagstones that have heaved out of place, a sim-ple reset can be a weekend project. Lift out the paver or stone, tamp down and level the ground, add new base material, replace the stone and tamp down.

Sometimes it’s best to just put up a microphone in a room, sit down and play your guitar…
Seven-time Juno award-winning blues guitarist Steve Dawson performs selections from his new CD, Rattlesnake Cage, on Tuesday, March 25 at Gib-sons Heritage Playhouse, starting at 8 p.m. The Her-itage’s intimate setting and
excellent acoustics provide a uniquely appropriate set-ting to highlight the sweet melodies and deep soul of Dawson’s solo guitar. The deceptively simple per-formance hearken sback to the ‘American Primi-tive’ sound of the 1960s - instrumental music in-formed by the deep tra-ditions of blues, ragtime, jazz and even Hawaiian
Although Coast resi-dents are trending to keep cats indoors and away from predatory wildlife, many cats still enjoy the traditional outdoor life – foraging for prey, visiting the neighbours, and dig-ging in the Great Outside Litterbox. If that litter-box is a prized flowerbed, neighbours (and cat own-ers) may take a dim view of their activities.
Once a cat has found a place to call its own, it can be difficult to persuade the animal to move. Cats are naturally attracted to the soft soil of planting

beds. However, over time cat urine and feces can leave behind an offensive odor and damage plants. Other cats also may be at-tracted to the garden, cre-ating territory wars, more odor and activity. But homeowners can employ a variety of techniques to keep felines from digging in the garden.
Orange, lemon and lime peels scattered around the garden may be offensive to cats, who will likely opt to go elsewhere. Over time, the peels will break down into a natural fertilizer.
Motion detectors that trigger lights or a sprin-kler system can startle cats and keep them away from the garden.
Many cats do not like the feeling hard materials under their paws. There-fore, you can bury any number of items in the soil to deter padded feet. Some gardeners prefer to use chicken wire or rolled
mesh around plants be-fore covering the soil with mulch. The cats step on the dirt and feel the metal underneath, then move on. Branches, brambles, spiky holly leaves, crushed shells or even rocks may keep cats from finding the garden bed hospitable.
Employ natural scented deterrents. Urine from predators, like coyotes or dogs, may scare cats off. Some cats may not like the smell of marigolds, which can be planted alongside other flowers in an attempt to keep cats at bay.
Homeowners who don’t mind the presence of cats on their property but want them out of the garden can take the unusual step of making another area on the property more cat-friendly. Plant catnip far away from the garden, giving cats a place to hang out without putting the garden in jeopardy. Metro

Rattlesnake Cage blues warm up Heritage on March 25music, but taking those influences in unexpected directions. With excellent bones and fire in its belly, Dawson’s songs draw from a lifetime of travels and experience, offering trib-utes along the way to vari-ous key influences: Fans of Reverend Gary Davis will recognize the musical references in ‘The Altar At Center Raven’ that evokes an imaginary scene at the pulpit where he preached. In the same way, ‘The Medicine Show Comes To Avalon’ bounces along a razor’s edge between an-tique and future sounds with its heartfelt homage to the music of Mississippi John Hurt.
The CD recording process also hearkens back to the 1960s. Using a single vintage tube microphone rescued from the rafters of an old Detroit theatre, Rattlesnake Cage offers a unique clarity of detail and nuance.
Tuesday’s concert offers a rare opportunity to hear Dawson live in concert before he returns to his new home in Nashville TN to begin a new chapter in his career. Heather Jeal

Gibsons resident Tomoko Matu-moto walked off with the honours (and a $100 IGA gift card) for Best Rib Recipe – winning February’s Quest for the Best hands down.
Deceptively simple, the recipe melds an international palette of flavours to dress up Canadian pork back ribs. Why specify Canadian meat? Back in the 1990’s, Canada’s pork products earned a reputation in the international marketplace for being very lean without sacrificing flavour. Far eastern consumers (Ja-pan, China, Korea and Taiwan in particular) became major import-ers. The resulting boom – and later bust – of the pork cycle made, and lost, fortunes for industrial farmers who rushed into mass production with enormous hog barns housing thousands of animals in unhappy conditions. Today, more markets and specialty butcher shops are turn-ing to ‘moral meat’ from producers with smaller operations. According to moralmeat.org the movement to small production is based on the concept that the animals we use to sustain us should be allowed to live healthy, normal lives and are killed ‘with sensitivity and respect.’ Al-though slightly more expensive than industrially-farmed products, ‘moral meat’ is usually certified organic and free of pesticides and hormones. It’s also usually more flavourful as a re-sult of enhanced, natural diet.
Sweet and Spicy Ribs a winner
Sweet and Spicy Ribs2 lb. (800g) Canadian pork back ribs2 slices fresh ginger4 tbsp. (50cc) white wine
Sauce:3 tbsp.. brown sugar7 tbsp. ketchup2 tbsp. kochujan (Korean chilli pepper paste)1 tbsp. sesame oil1 tbsp. soy sauce2 garlic cloves, minced¼ cup (100cc) water
Combine all sauce ingredients in large pot and bring to boil. Lower heat to simmer.
Cut ribs into serving-size portions. Place in pressure cooker with ginger, add white wine and enough water to cover the ribs. Cook about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then drain and add to sauce. Simmer ribs in sauce for 15 minutes. At this point the ribs should be very tender. Place in serv-ing dish, garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, and serve.
