Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash is a classic fall and winter soup recipe. But today we’re roasting the butternut squash, which gives so much more depth of flamakes the soup easier to prepare (as ’t have to cut the butternut squash).
Ingredients
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
pounds butternut squash
tablespoon avocado oil
small yellow onion, halved
garlic clove, peeled
½ tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
• Optional garnish: pepitas, parsley, and freshly ground black pepper
(Continued on page 7)
Instructions
Slice it in half. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220C). Slice the ends off the butternut squash. Stand the butternut squash on end and carefully slice it in half lengthwise. Pro tip: the butternut squash is easier to slice through if you microwave it for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the seeds. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membrane.
Season and roast. Transfer the butternut squash to a baking tray cut side up, coat with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then flip the butternut squash over so the cut side is down and roast for 60 minutes.
Add the onion. After 30 minutes, spread a little oil on the cut side of the onion and add it to the baking tray, cut side down. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes, then remove the baking tray from the oven.
Blend the soup. Once the butternut squash is cool enough to handle, use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh and transfer it to a highpowered blender. Remove the outer layer of the onion and add it to the blender along with the garlic, maple syrup, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and vegetable broth. Start with 3 cups of vegetable broth and add more to achieve your desired consistency. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until creamy. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper if needed. Optional: while this is a dairyfree recipe, if you do tolerate dairy, adding just a tablespoon or two of fresh butter when you're blending definitely boosts the creaminess factor.
Serve. Pour the soup into serving bowls. If you'd like, garnish the top with pepitas, parsley and black pepper.

Answers on Page 13
TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
Personal freedom and the ability to make decisions to structure matters as you like could become more important than something you have wanted to accomplish since 2008 that never seemed to get there. Put your energies into gathering as much information as possible to early November but be aware that finality will come next year.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
You could suddenly know the right decision to make that you perhaps considered but had some uncertainty about during July. Part of this can be greater clarity when it comes to what is important to you rather than what might be expected of you. This can be clearing the way to devote some time to yourself for considering other matters to early November.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
It may seem as though you have broken free at last and can consider your future with renewed vigour. This will just be a first stage up to early November. There can be the need to make some final decisions about letting go of something that has been a strong part of your thought processes since 2008, mainly because you have considered them a priority.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Pluto has again moved out of your sign until 20th November when it will move back in and stay there for 20 years. Look at where life has been going since January and in this time consider what needs to be let go, so that you can move more freely ahead once Pluto moves back into your sign. What can be enjoyed should not be left to one side.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
Take stock of whatever you have put your energies into since 21st July especially if details haven’t been the main focus. If you want something to grow or expand there is a need to put some sort of new foundation in place in a detailed manner as well as being prepared to commit yourself to the obligations required. This is how success will be gained.
VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)
The New Moon this week occurs in your own sign encouraging you to make changes that benefit you personally. Expect challenges from others who have a tendency to increase their expectations of you. Finding some quiet time to yourself, to think things out this week can result in greater confidence of mind, urging you to rebel if needs be.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.22-Dec.21)
It might pay you to apply a new attitude by analysing more carefully the level of obligation you are either willing to take on or feel is a fair thing. This can be important in the long term. It could also result in gaining more respect through not attempting to be too many things to other people. Don’t concern yourself with what you can’t work out about others to early November.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Somebody else can take a new approach or want to take a new direction in their life that could easily put more pressure or responsibility upon you. It is important you are prepared to act so that your own sense of freedom is not affected. You might need to make one last final stand up to 20th November when it comes to important priorities in your life.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Mars will move into your sign this week where it will stay for the first time until 4th November. This should pick up your energy level, as well as your self confidence. It also heralds the beginning of a new 2 year cycle. As Mars will come back again, which is out of the ordinary, don’t be surprised if things don’t fully fall into place this year.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
Unreasonable expectations from somebody else can unsettle what might have seemed a more harmonious position on a personal level. Take up the challenge to make your own priorities clear. You cannot afford to allow any interference when it comes to what you need to handle on a regular basis as this can inhibit long term goals you have in mind.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Pluto moves back into your own sign for the last time until 20th November. This gives you the chance to review all that has happened in life since 2008 and decide once and for all what needs to be left behind. New future opportunities can present themselves now, which can require some serious decision making as to how this can affect what has been normal.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
You are moving into the first stage of putting your energies into getting a good foundation in place in life. This could include home and family matters but not necessarily. Ridding yourself of obligations that could have been in your life, one way or another since 2008, could be an important first step. A new focus on normal routines could help.
In this photo from 1925, the Baron Byng was the first high school used until the construction of Duchess Park School. It was then used for shop classes. In the mid-1960s I recall taking Drafting, Electricity, Woodshop and Metal Work classes in this building. I believe this historic building ended as a practice fire for the PG Fire Dept.

Traffic stop leads to drug seizure
On August 20, 2024, just after 2:00 p.m., Frontline police officers initiated a traffic stop with a vehicle that was seen speeding through a residential neighbourhood. The black Pontiac Sunfire fled on police officers and was later located, along with the driver, at a residence on the 200-block of Irwin Street.
The traffic incident quickly evolved into a firearms investigation, which further lead to the seizure of a number of illicit drugs. In total, police officers seized over 700 grams of suspected fentanyl, 300 grams of suspected cocaine and more than 1.5 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine, as well as drug trafficking paraphernalia and a loaded handgun, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
The vehicle was impounded under the motor vehicle act and issued a notice-and-order to attend an inspection facility due to multiple mechanical deficiencies.
This investigation represents another significant blow to the illicit drug trade in Prince George and is an example of the dedication our police officers have to public safety.
