52 VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY 2014 THE ADVOCATE 2010 WHITE ROSE ESTATE PINOT NOIR WILLAMETTE VALLEY Legacy Liquor Store Vancouver and Kitsilano Wine Cellars $45 This is White Rose’s entry-level wine, but this vintage holds its own against many of the single-vineyard wines produced by this estate. White Rose is a leader in the production of quality Pinot Noir, and this offering explains why. It seduces you with its intense aromas and doesn’t disappoint when the tasting begins. This is an elegant wine with vibrant but delicate flavours of dried cherry and spice, which coat the palate with a silky texture. This vintage is drinking beautifully now but will continue to provide satisfaction for another several years. Try it with wild mushroom risotto. t t t t t Want your private business or personal affairs to stay private?

THE ADVOCATE VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY 2014 53 ADVOCATE NEWS By D. Michael Bain* TIME FOR CHANGE The BBC recently celebrated 50 years of Doctor Who, the world’s longestrunning science fiction television series. The series involves a quirky, eccentric Time Lord flying through space and time in a device known as the TARDIS (which stands for “Time And Relative Dimension In Space” but looks suspiciously like a blue police call box) and saving people, places and things from almost certain destruction, episode after episode. The faces of 12 different actors playing the Doctor over that 50-year period is explained away by a process called “regeneration”, in which through the magic of special effects (which have improved remarkably in the last half century) one actor’s features morph into the other and the new actor simply picks up where the last one left off. Each Doctor is aware of his past incarnation, but he emerges infused with a new character with his own quirks (and quarks). I feel a bit like Doctor Who these days—in the 72 years of the Advocate’s history, I have suddenly (or perhaps not so suddenly) become the sixth incarnation of The Editor of this magazine. This might not be the best analogy, since the actor playing the sixth Doctor was the only one to get fired from his position; nevertheless, like the Doctor, I have obligations to the past and yet a desire to do things a bit differently as I steer this ship through space and time. Initially I thought of wearing a bow tie (“bow ties are cool”) or a fez, but that’s all been done before (or hence—it’s never really clear with time travel). I pause here to note that I am actually wearing a scarf at the moment. I just drove at maniacal speed to the courthouse to drop off a written submission (with four minutes to spare) and haven’t bothered to remove either my trench coat or my scarf. I shall build a robotic dog immediately. So … 21st century. Hello! Here we are! The Advocate has arrived with a newly updated website, , which you ought to visit * D. Michael Bain is the editor of the Advocate.
