The area once known as “Clifton Corner” once was a “bustling village” with a two-storey general store where you could buy everything from beans to furniture. The village continued to bustle as, years later, the original Presbyterian manse became a new general store run by Kitty Cotton, who was also postmistress. “The store was where people would gather on Saturday night—mai

Changing Environs

Experiencing Catherine Miller’s exhibition at the Confed Centre

by Judy Gaudet

I stand and imagine I’m inside the glass case, among the green fronds as they fall in soft curtains, softer fragments, shot with silk threads, lit with glass beads. It’s a wall of seaweed, the colours and textures lovely. There are four glass cases. In the next, an opposite world—a wall of cement blocks covered in assorted fabri

Dedicated Dairyman

Garnet Schellen and his herd of Ayrshires

The Story of Your Food
by Nina Linton

It’s 5:15 am. Garnet Schellen’s hand fumbles into the murky darkness, silencing the alarm clock’s shrills with a slap. He slides out of bed and into his work clothes—a well-worn set of navy coveralls—before easing out the back door and down a path carved by decades of hurried footsteps.

All’s quiet except for a faint wind w

Friends Along the Way

Notes from the Road
by Catherine MacLellan

Back in 1998, I was home from a year in Australia and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I had studied one semester at Dalhousie but I wasn’t even sure why I was there, so I came back to PEI. I made a few friends who persuaded me to sneak into Baba’s every week (I was only 18) for open mic or to see Rhythm Rules every Thursday night with Jon

Farewell festival

Country Prose
by Charlie Hansen

Well we finally ended our winter stay in Florida and arrived home to less than friendly weather. I have no idea why we expect better but we always do.

The last musical event that we attended was the Sertoma Youth Ranch spring festival. This festival isn’t their best festival of the year but we were pleasantly surprised by the lineup that they had.

We went up on Friday

Humble Ingredients

A couple of stories about Robert Pendergast

by Ann Thurlow

When he started culinary school his instructor asked the students why they were there. Robert’s answer? “To learn better ways to cook potatoes and mackerel.” He was being cheeky—but only a little bit.

He also likes to tell the story of a famous baker in France (a baker whose bread has been favorably compared to Robert’s). It’s a long story—but the

I’ll Have the Burger

I’m Dining Out Here
by Andrew Sprague

There has never been a better local food promotion than Burger Love. No promotion has ever seen the level of public engagement and participant payoff enjoyed by Burger Love. Several restaurants were reporting over a thousand burgers sold in the first twelve days of the month long event. That’s almost a hundred burgers a day. Social media channels were inundated w

Just Passing Through

Jeremy Larter web series premieres in May

In Her Own Write
by Ann Thurlow

If this was a movie, it would it would go like this: Start with a flashback. Jeremy Later and Geoff Read become friends in junior high school. Years pass. We see Larter pursue his dream of making web series with the acclaimed Profile PEI and the lesser known (but equally funny) Ponderings, Leafs Beefs and Kitty Kat Time. We see
