“Painting journeys of inspired reflection, I aimed to capture the essence of what it means to fully embrace our world. Luminous villages snug in tiny hamlets, vistas in resonance with the culture and integrity of the my belief that we inhabit a global home we each love with such intensity that dreams are possible. I wanted to share my impression of the nourishment with which our sacred Earth sustains each and every one of us, giving us the very foundation that allows the breath we each draw, gently cultivating us to become the best we are each here to be.” Jill

EDITOR’S NOTE
Victoria high about cannabis reat news for cannabis supporters: your movement is here. Over 500 people filled Alix Goolden Hall Monday night, Sept. 24, to be part of a community discussion on “A Sensible Cannabis Policy For B.C.” DANIELLE But while five rousing POPE speakers drew cheers and news@ even standing ovations from mondaymag.com the audience, the biggest news came from one group named Sensible BC that is proposing a question be put on the ballot in the next provincial referendum in September 2014, asking voters whether or not they want the Government of Canada to allow the provincial regulation of cannabis. Though the wording of the question is still being approved by Elections BC, enthusiasts are calling this movement similar to the anti-HST campaign — but with even more support. “People are calling me the Bill Vander Zalm of marijuana,” Dana Larsen, cannabis advocate and Sensible BC founder, told the crowd. “We are perfectly positioned in B.C. right now to create this change. Cannabis prohibition causes far more harm than marijuana itself ever could, and we are seeing more support for this movement than there was for ending the HST ... Stephen Harper doesn’t always get what he wants.” The group will need to collect approximately 400,000 signatures to get the question on the ballot, and has already begun to solicit help with leg work to get the petition in the hands of voters. At Monday night’s event, seniors, adults and even high school students rose to the mic to ask how they could assist. “With cannabis reform polling at 70 per cent, and with the kind of turnout we saw [Monday] night, I think politicians at all levels would do well to pay attention to the voters of B.C. right now,” says Philippe Lucas of the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C., who organized the event. “We live in a society that will judge you for speaking out about drug laws ... but there is no single law in B.C. right now that, if reformed, could change so many factors.” For those who missed the event, a recorded version of the discussion is posted in its entirety at the SensibleBC.ca website.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GANDHI! Peaceful Victorians can gather to celebrate the birth of one of the world’s most famous peace vigilantes, then do a little peacework themselves. The Victoria chapter of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative will celebrate Mahatma Gandhi and the International Day of Nonviolence with a free event Tues., Oct. 2, 7-9pm at the First Metropolitan United Church (932 Balmoral). Just before that, on Sept. 27 and 29, international peace-builder James O’dea will be hosting two talks on how everyone can contribute to a better society. “We are relatively peaceful in Victoria, yes, but Sale Effective Sept. 27th thru Oct. 3rd, 2012

we’re concerned with peace on the world scale,” says Saul Arbess, who co-organized the events. “There’s still plenty of violence and crime in Victoria. What we’re saying is let us enhance restorative justice, interethnic relations, and concern ourselves with empowering communities and working with them so they can respond to these issues.” O’dea, author of Cultivating Peace: Becoming a 21st Century Peace Ambassador and former Washington office director of Amnesty International, has worked with peace efforts in Rwanda, Israel, Palestine and Northern Ireland. His talk comes on the heels of the United Nations’ announcement that efforts for the UN’s International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World (2001 to 2010) will be renewed. “It should be abundantly clear that planetary peace requires more than a little nudge. It requires a great turnaround,” says O’dea. “Genuine peace represents a whole new order of being and an evolutionary reframing ... We were born for such a time as this.” Meanwhile, Arbess believes there are still tangible ways everyone can contribute to peace in their own society — signing up to the Victoria chaper of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative, for example, or showing a little more kindness to all. “There are a lot of ways we can think about peace, both outer and inner peace — how one works in situations of conflict or anger,” says Arbess. “Peace to me means ‘right’ relationship with one’s self, one’s community and the wider world.” See James O’dea talk Thurs., Sept. 27, 7-9pm at First Metropolitan United Church (932 Balmoral), $10, or join in the workshop “Cultivating Peace: From the Inside Out” Sat., Sept. 29, 9am-5pm at New Horizons (234 Menzies), $75.

In the name of science was so pleased to hear that Emmanuel Ben-Soussan picked up an illustrious Ig Nobel award last week for advising doctors who perform colonoscopies on how to minimise the chance of their patients exploding. I’m sure both doctors and patients appreciate his handy tips. I imagine it would be rather frightening to be lying on your side on an operating table with a tube stuck in an uncomfortable place and hearing a loud bang, followed by your surgeon exclaiming, “Oh, shit!” GRANT The annual Ig Nobel awards are one of my favourite McKENZIE celebrations of scientific achievement, followed closely by the annual Darwin Awards, which tend to celebrate editor@ the exact opposite. mondaymag.com This year marks the 22nd gala, organized by humour magazine Annals of Improbable Research as a spoof of the nerdalicious and slightly more prestigious Nobel prizes, with winners awarded at Harvard University (birthplace of National Lampoon magazine; and responsible for the education of eight U.S. presidents). While Ben-Soussan’s award is my personal favourite (and that could be because I’m getting to an age wherein doctors get their giggles by scheduling unpleasant things at annual checkup time), the Ig Nobel’s always have something for everyone. Take Craig Bennett, a psychologist at the University of California, who picked up this year’s neuroscience prize for telling doctors that just because a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner shows signs of brain activity, it doesn’t mean your patient is actually alive. Bennett and his team discovered this blip by scanning the brains of dead salmon. His conclusion is that if you search long enough for something, you just might find it — but that doesn’t mean it can be trusted. Or it could also mean the salmon he tested was only pretending to be dead. Anita Eerland of Open University in the Netherlands won the Ig Nobel for psychology by making people guess the height of the Eiffel Tower incorrectly. She discovered that when people lean to the left, things seem smaller, and when they lean to the right, things seem larger. This means that instead of buying a new, larger TV, we only have to put some blocks on the left side of the couch, so that we lean to the right. Voila! Big-screen fun at no extra cost. The snickering charitable award of the evening went to the University of California’s Rouslan Krechetnikov in the category of fluid dynamics. I have a feeling that all the physicists and biologists were giggling over this one as Krechetnikov discovered it was just a coincidence that the biomechanics of walking contributes to the amplification of coffee sloshing, which results in us spilling our coffee when we walk. And here I thought it was because I prefer to skip when I’m carrying a hot beverage. M

Re: City Watchdog, Sept. 20-26 Thank you for your article ‘Innocence Stolen every day on our streets’. Yes, we are all part of the problem and the solution. How is it that in our province, in Canada, that so many young women are having to survive maltreatment that sends them onto the streets? Yes, we can elect politicians that mean what they say: "families ďŹ rst." For many years we have had inadequate support in schools for troubled students and families. Let's reinstate counsellors so that families can be supported up front, not waiting ’til children are on the streets or in detention. I think it's time for a change in priorities.

to discuss the merits of current and new programs and issues. Her recent decision to let the Haisla Indian band take ownership of a swath of coastal waterfront on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat is another example of a ‘bad idea’. A public auction could conceivably have generated millions in revenues. The disposition of these lands could impede the development of the land, and the free ow of seaborne trafďŹ c in the Douglas waterways. She also says ‘this democracy’ belongs to the citizens, but party discipline has effectively destroyed that process. If Clark wants to reconnect and re-establish the relationship with her constituents, she will have to ban party discipline, and insist our MLAs get their direction from the people and vote accordingly, without living in fear of reprisals from the party and leaders. That would be a radical departure from the dictator style governments we have in Canada today, but nothing less will make it happen. ANDY THOMSEN, SUMMERLAND BC

STREET SMARTS Should B.C. get to vote on decriminalizing cannabis?
KIERAN REPORT
Municipal gathering is the real stuff his week, Victoria puts the lie to Premier Christy Clark’s glib and dismissive characterization of the capital as a dead zone where BRIAN oxygen-starved poKIERAN litical zombies do the bkieran@ dance of the living mondaymag.com dead under a glazed bubble. This week, the capital is host to the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM), a gathering of more than 1,000 civic leaders from Fort Nelson to Port Renfrew. This is not an excuse for a party. These municipal and regional district leaders recognize they are here on the very thin dimes of their local ratepayers and they tend to work their buns off. Having covered this event for years, I am always struck by the level of engagement between delegates and senior levels of government. This week, we have even seen the consolidation of a mayors’ caucus. More than 100 of them met Mon., Sept. 24, to firm up an agenda for dealing with the pro-
T
vincial government, which is routinely guilty of downloading its fiscal pressures on the backs of local government. This is real stuff. It’s important. It’s gritty. And, it is often more productive than we give it credit for. What it is not, is an example of what the premier deems to be a dead zone. When it was reported that the premier thinks Victoria is a “sick culture” without “real people,” Clark said she was just referring to the legislature, which she described as an “enclosed bubble.” She said her real job is getting out of Victoria to meet the real folks and talk about real issues. In support of this retro-spin — worthy of Mitt Romney — she embarked on a whirlwind mini-campaign with election-style promises and photo ops at BCIT’s aerospace campus in Richmond and at UBC’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna. For Clark to write off the legislative precinct as an enclosed bubble bereft of worthy endeavours is political myopia. For thousands of citizens over the years it has been the place where their passions and frustration could find expression. I remember when Clayoquot anarchists stormed the legislature in the ’90s, broke the hip of a commissionaire and shattered the glass door to the chamber.
Sure — why not?
What happened that day wasn’t pretty, but no one pretended it wasn’t real or relevant. On Oct. 22, hundreds, maybe thousands, of environmentalists and representatives of 80 First Nations will take part in a “Defend our Coast” sit-in on the legislature lawn to protest the Enbridge pipeline and oil tanker traffic. Irrelevant? Hardly. At the other end of the spectrum the little things also mean a lot. When the House is sitting, MLAs have an opportunity to celebrate the good works of citizens in their ridings. For many, this recognition is pretty special. One day it is a valued resident of Vanderhoof, the next day it is folks in Richmond organizing a charity run. It never makes the news, but it’s real — it’s B.C. Premier Clark just doesn’t get it. Back in 2005, Clark left the legislature full of praise for its dedicated people and their tireless stewardship. Seven years later, it is Clark who is trapped in a bubble of her own design. She’s spent so much of the past year campaigning that she has forgotten what it is like to govern. Maybe her bubble will burst Friday when she has to stand up in front of a thousand UBCM delegates and curry their favour. M

Hollaback battles street harassment at-calling is an institution in our society. For most, the idea brings to mind the iconic construction worker hooting at a model in some perfume commercial, or a droning “Hey bay-bee” shouted from a car window. Half of you are aware that this institution has long since worn out its welcome — the other half have never had SIMON anyone demand sex or bark homophobic NATTRASS slurs at them from the safety of a moving snattrass@ vehicle. mondaymag.com “Many people who are less likely to be harassed on the street are unaware of the impact of that behaviour,” says Julie MacSween. MacSween is one of the people responsible for the creation of victoria.ihollaback.org, dedicated to combating street harassment in The Capital. Along with raising awareness, the site provides an outlet for those affected by street harassment to share their stories, and allows readers to voice their support for those who speak out. The idea behind the site goes beyond shaming people who engage in street harassment, says Hollaback volunteer Rowan
C
Hébert. “If we create a culture where we decide that street harassment is okay, we start to decide that other things are okay.” People share stories about all kinds of harassment, and support from readers encourages those affected to react to harassment with confidence rather than fear. “If you see that 40 people have read your story and are behind you, that’s empowering,” says Hébert. The stories collected on the Hollaback site since its launch on Sept. 6 shatter the image of the sleazy but charming construction worker. Experiences range from queer couples berated for being confident enough to walk down the street holding hands to 13-year-old girls being asked if they’ll “fuck for money” by a car full of young men. These stories represent all that is still vicious and crude in our society. Street harassment isn’t about paying compliments or having a laugh on Friday night. It sets a precedent for public interactions characterized not by friendly smiles but by juvenile humour, bigotry, threats and sexual harassment. By refusing to brush this off as a routine hazard of walking around in The Capital, Victoria Hollaback is shouldering the burden of our collective failure to simply be decent to one another. Anyone interested in becoming involved in Victoria Hollaback can visit victoria.ihollaback.org. M

Pin-up queen conquers USA BETTINA MAY TURNS HEADS TO CINCH ELUSIVE GREEN CARD he world of burlesque has become even more noteworthy, thanks to iconic pin-up model Bettina May. May, a Monday favourite and creator of Victoria’s first two neoburlesque troupes, the BettiLu Bombshells and the group now known as the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue, has just received the first-ever U.S. green card awarded for burlesque. DANIELLE POPE Now, May can news@mondaymag.com proudly call herself an official “Alien of Extraordinary Ability in the field of Burlesque, Pin-Up Modeling and Vintage Style Instruction” — a category that had to, in part, be carved out for May when she moved to New York in August of 2010 and began her application process. The exclusive process only approves a select few applicants each year, most of whom are Nobel Prize-winning scientists, Academy Award-winning actors, Olympic athletes and the like. “Two years is an awfully long time to be biting your nails,” May told Monday in a phone interview from New York. “It was such a huge relief to hear the news.” May, who says she will maintain her “proudly Canadian” citizenship, will now be allowed to work in the U.S. in any field she likes, vote, even leave the country — something she hasn’t been able to do for more than two years.
T
“The moment I found out, I called my parents and said ‘I’m coming home!’” says an excited May. “I already have a list of my first must-dos in Victoria, like visiting Lotus Pond Vegetarian Restaurant, driving down Dallas Road, eating Ketchup Chips!” May began her career in Victoria where she started to receive international acclaim for her work in classic pin-up modeling. The multi M-award winner starred as Monday’s own classic Bond Girl in a 2006 cover. She was also featured in an episode of the HBO series RealSex about the rebirth of modern pin-up. Then, May was hired by a touring vaudeville show based in the U.S. in early 2009, on the first-ever work visa handed out to a burlesque performer. She toured non-stop for a year and a half, hitting almost every state. Since May made New York her home in 2010, it’s no surprise she’s risen to the top of her field, performing at the best cabaret venues and dinner theatres, like Duane Park and Webster Hall, while modeling and helping women unleash their inner bombshells in her pin-up classes during the day. “For the immigration process, I had to do a lot of work and fill out so many forms proving that burlesque is an important and valuable art form,” says May. “I think it really says something that this kind of card has never been awarded before … and now I am holding one in my hands.” May’s devotion to classic, vintage-
style Hollywood glamour has made her a commodity. She has performed on Real Housewives of NYC, and for celebrities like Brooke Shields, Jude Law and Kanye West. She has also been featured regularly in The New York Times, New York Post, Shimmy Magazine, Dynamite Magazine in Germany and Portuguese Vogue. While she’ll only be in town for a week, May is already prepared for her fans. She’ll be hosting a special private pin-up class on Oct. 20 in a vintage home in Vic West from noon to 6pm for all the women ready to try their own hand at glam-style modeloking ing. And for those looking starry-eyed in their own ple, direction of the Big Apple, p— May says don’t give up especially now. m, “If you have a dream, rk you just have to work really hard and don’tt let it go,” she says. “There were so many people who told me what I wanted to do was not possible, but I didn’t believe them. I just kept going. And here I am.”” M SENSATIONAL PINUPS

that on Sept. 22, 1982, Henderson recorded The Neos. Victoria’s fledgling punk-rock scene needed someone to document the music being created, and Henderson was just the guy to do it. Over the years, the location and name of the studio changed, but he was always there to record the bands. After Hole In The Wall, Henderson moved his equipment downtown to the corner of Douglas and Johnson, upstairs from where Burger King now stands. This studio was called Clandestine Armaghetto and it was here that Henderson recorded Red Tide’s single “Kelp & Salal.” The clandestine part came when the landlord told them there could be no noise before 6pm Monday to Thursday and 9pm on Fridays. Unfortunately, Henderson forgot to inform the Dayglo Abortions that when he allowed them to practice there one Friday evening at 6pm. Next up was On The Corner, which was on the corner of Johnson and Pandora in the room that is now the front lounge of Backpacker’s Inn. This studio ran through ’84 and ’85. At some point in ’86, Henderson moved the studio in with Randy Stubbs and Dayglo Abortions’ members Jesus Bonehead and Spud, and upgraded to an eight-track machine. Around 1988, Henderson moved into the home of former Monday writer James Kennedy, who had a basement full of lutes, harpsichords and hundreds of recorders. “I called that [studio] Lutes and Flutes,” recalls Henderson with a chuckle. Next, Henderson and his girlfriend moved into their own place out on Shelbourne. The inevitable studio was called The Dollhouse, which ran from 1989-1993. “Mission of Christ, Shutdown, a couple of Show Business Giants records and the first Hanson Brothers record were all done at Dollhouse,” he says. Eventually, Henderson moved out to Colwood and the Sea Of Shit was born. “It was my first really pro recording studio, with a 24-track machine and digital multi-tracking. It was what everyone was using at the time, so Nomeansno recorded there, then took the tapes and mixed it in Vancouver.” Sea Of Shit became somewhat legendary throughout the ’90s and into the new millennium with a who’s who of Victoria punk rock laying down their songs. In 2005, Sea Of Shit was no more and Henderson was without a studio for the first time in a very long time. He spent a lot of his time doing live sound at Logan’s Pub (which he still does), until he and a couple of friends partnered up in 2007 to open Lap Of Luxury in Sooke. It is here where he continues to record both his own projects as well as any number of local musicians. “I’m not a producer. I hate that term. I record bands and engineer records,” says Henderson. “Oddly enough, the Virgin Records guide to Alternative Records claims that I am Nomeansno’s producer. That’s ridiculous. Nobody produces Nomeansno.” All of the recording projects aside, there is much more to Henderson’s involvement in local music. He also co-owned Richard’s Records in the early ’80s that became a local spot to get punk albums and where many people in the scene bumped MARY ELLEN GREEN into each other. four sets a night of Top-40 hits, you weren’t going to get any Over the years, he’s also “made 40 solo records that nobody’s gigs.

or all of Victoria’s old-world façade, the city has always kept a vibrant, cuttingedge beat when it comes to music. This was especially true during the punk and new wave explosion of the late 1970s — and right there at the beginning was local musician and recording engineer Scott Henderson with his trusty fourtrack tape machine. Life has a strange way of setting people on the course they are meant to take, and for Henderson the signposts were almost fatal. As a teenager and part of the school photo club, Henderson was taking pictures of his friends dressed in full military garb. “I was taking all of these TY FORSLUND pictures of my friend with arts@mondaymag.com his gas mask on and pointing the rifle at me, not knowing that it was loaded and the safety was off.” It was another friend, however, who had never held a gun before who asked to hold it when it discharged, shooting Henderson in the chest. “I was lucky that they had a brand new chest surgeon they were showing around Vic General that day when they rolled me in.” He lived, but ended up losing a lung in the process. “I really wanted to join the RCAF more than anything, but there is no way you can be in the air force with one lung, so the obvious decision was to become a musician.” Unfortunately, cover bands were the order of the day in the early ’70s, and if you weren’t willing to get up there and play

MONDAY GUIDE > FILM rom Colors to Training Day, there have been a number of fine police dramas set on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Add to that roster End of Watch, a gritty and engaging “buddy movie” that gets very high marks for realism as it focuses on a pair of ordinary street cops who patrol the gang-and drug-infested area of South Central L.A. where violence and death are a daily occurrence. Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) sports a buzz cut and a wicked sense of humour, while his Hispanic partner, Mike Zavala (Michael Pena, Million Dollar Baby), is the decent family man who married his high school sweetheart. The two men are truly brothers in blue, and have a touching bond underneath their edgy — and often profane — banter. Much of the film sees them handle everything from noise disturbances to shoot-em-ups with local gangbangers. They even get a medal for running into a burning home to save three kids. They keep circling around a local thug named Big Evil, and inadvertently cause some major grief to a Mexican drug cartel that has expanded into L.A. Unbeknownst to the two cops, a drug lord has put out a contract on them and the aptly named Big Evil has put his gang on their tail with orders to smoke them in a hail of automatic gunfire. You can count on a bit of a body count. The gripping Watch is initially off-putting due to its multiple points of view. Taylor is making his own movie about life as a cop, and the toggling back and forth between “objective” camerawork and Taylor’s own footage is jarring moreso than illuminating (although it pays off later). The performances are the key thing here: cute-as-a-puppy Gyllenhaal is surprisingly persuasive as a decent cop in a tough town. And Pena brings a lot of depth to his role as a man who is deeply proud of his Mexican heritage and is willing to risk his life doing a thankless, violent job. The ending comes in a bit of a rush, but the film’s intensity, realism and abiding humanity make for a great ride-along. M

BASEBALL DRAMEDY PLAYS IT SAFE
COP DRAMA IS EMINENTLY WATCHABLE
F
ROBERT MOYES
t’s hard not to think of Clint Eastwood berating an empty chair at the recent Republican Convention as one watches Trouble With The Curve, a comedy-drama about an aging — and ailing –— baseball scout who has been ambushed by a lonely old age. Gus used to be one of the all-time greats, but in an age of computer analysis his old-fashioned, hands-on style is seen as an anachronistic liability (to say nothing of how macular degeneration has rendered him half-blind). Gus is sent off to the boonies to check out a high-school prospect who hits the ball a ton. He is very reluctantly accompanied by his estranged daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an ambitious lawyer — and incredibly knowledgeable baseball nerd — who is emotionally scarred by a father who didn’t know how to raise her after her mom died when she was six. Adding to the suds factor is rival scout Johnny (Justin Timberlake), a hunky quipster who is checking out Mickey more than the baseball action. Eastwood is full of wintry peevishness as he and Adams dance around their troubled relationship with great skill. The movie itself — which has inspired a remarkable number of baseball metaphors by numerous reviewers — is charming, funny, and easy to watch. Sadly, it’s also easy to predict where the script is going. Let’s just say Curve manages to lumber safely into second base, dignity mostly intact. M

PERFECTLY POTABLE Baseball and beer are a great combo. And even if the boys of summer have been chased away by the recent fall equinox, there is still enough heat in the air to make the thought of a frosty one very appealing. One of the stars of the recent Great Canadian Beer Fest was brewmaster Sean Hoyne, whose new(ish) brewery is selling all it can make. His slyly named Dark Matter is a notquite stout or porter of cosmic charm, while Devil’s Dream IPA has a hoppy tang that IPA fans will love. Hoyne beers are available at bars, restaurants, and liquor stores all over the city.
FILM & CINEMA CALENDAR OPENING THE MASTER -(Odeon) Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as the charismatic leader of a cult religion in a provocative drama that takes none-too-subtle aim at Scientology. Also starring Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams and directed by the great Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Magnolia), this film is already a critical darling that swept the Venice Film Festival. Starts Fri. LOOPER -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) This trippy sci-fi film involves hitmen and time travel and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Premium Rush), Bruce Willis, and Emily Blunt. Starts Fri. HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Westshore) A hotel where vampires and sundry other monsters hide out from humans gets a big scare when a backpacking dude shows up looking for a room. This animated comedy features the voices of Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Andy Samberg. WON'T BACK DOWN -(Capitol/ SilverCityy) Two mothers determined to fight for the best-possible education for their kids take on an intransigent bureaucracy (and other challenges). Starring Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Holly Hunter. Based on a true story. Starts Fri.
PITCH PERFECT -(SilverCity) It's a gals-versus-the-guys vocal throwdown, as competing campus choirs seem to have gone to college only to major in Glee. Starts Fri.
CONTINUING ★★ THE BOURNE LEGACY -(Odeon) The hyper-kinetic spy series gets a flaccid and disappointing reboot with a new director and new actor (Jeremy Renner). Co-starring Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. ★★½ THE CAMPAIGN -(Caprice) A veteran congressman (Will Ferrell) who is used to running for office unapposed is shocked to find himself facing an inexperienced but effective challenger (Zach Galifianakis). This gleefully crass comedy does a (mostly) good job of skewering obvious targets like political corruption, hypocrisy, and smug media participation in a shameless circus. ★★★ THE DARK KNIGHT RISES -(Caprice) A diabolical terrorist named Bane poses a terrible threat to Gotham, as Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy comes to an exciting but rather bloated conclusion. With Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Anne Hathaway. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS -(Caprice) Greg is totally ready for summer when suddenly his plans all fall apart. What's the poor guy gonna do now?
★★★ DREDD 3D -(Odeon/ SilverCity) Despite being often onedimensional, this sci-fi thriller set in a fascist future where supercops act as judge, jury, and executioner has loads of style and a neatly dank visual look. ★★★½ END OF WATCH -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Uni 4) Jake Gyllenhaal stars in a gripping and very realistic crime drama about a pair of L.A. cops who are marked for death after they confiscate some drugs and guns from a violent cartel. See review. ★★½ THE EXPENDABLES 2 -(Westshore) Expect lots of manly mayhem as a group of aging mercenaries (played by aging Hollywood mercenaries like Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis) go up against a very nasty adversary. This is good, cheesy fun. ★★★½ FAREWELL, MY QUEEN -(Odeon) Diane Kruger (Troy) stars as the doomed Marie Antoinette in a drama set in the early days of the French Revolution. ★★★★ FINDING NEMO 3D -(SilverCity/Westshore) The classic Pixar tale of a clown fish from the Great Barrier Reef who goes looking for her missing son gets a ninth anniversary relaunch in 3D. With the great character voices of Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres.
★★★ HOPE SPRINGS -(Odeon/ Caprice) Meryl Streep can't endure her marriage any more and drags her reluctant husband (Tommy Lee Jones) off to intensive couple's counselling to try to revive intimacy and romance. Although the trailers make this look like a comedy it's really a dramedy that does a good, although sometimes heavy-handed, analysis of a dying marriage. HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET -(Capitol/SilverCity/ Westshore) It's horror time again as a mother and daughter move to a new town and buy a house right next door to where a young girl slaughtered her parents. And wouldn't you know it, the nightmare isn't over yet. ★★★½ MOONRISE KINGDOM -(Caprice) The ever-quirky Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Fantastic Mr. Fox) is in fine form as he tells a tale about two very young lovers who run away, thus sparking an unusual search. The great cast includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, and Frances McDormand. ★★½ PARANORMAN -(Caprice) In an amusingly morbid slice of family animation, a misunderstood boy who can talk to the dead is the only hope to save his town from an army of zombies and ghosts activated by a centuries-old curse.

Paranormal research becomes art OPEN SPACE PRESENTS F-L-A-M-M-A-R-I-O-N BY SUSAN MACWILLIAM aranormal investigation and art meet in F-L-A-M-M-AR-I-O-N, a work by Ireland’s Susan MacWilliam, on until Oct. 15 at Open Space (510 Fort). F-L-A-M-M-A-R-I-O-N is made primarily of a video installation MacWilliam created in 2009 to represent Northern Ireland at the Venice Biennale. It was developed from her residency at University of Manitoba Rare Books and Special Collections in Winnipeg, where she worked with a 40-box archive of T.G. Hamilton’s paranormal research, most notably a séance Hamilton conducted in 1931 that produced a “teleplasm,” spelling out the word “Flammarion” on the back wall of his séance cabinet. “I didn’t know the nature of the collection when I got there,” says MacWilliam. She spent a month reviewing almost 20 years of research, transcripts and photographs, but it was this teleplasm (or ectoplasm) that stuck with her. “I’ve been making video works about psychic research and paranormal phenomena for years and I’ve been to a number of conferences world wide and I’ve worked with mediums and researchers and when I discovered this I sent out an email saying ‘do you know of any other evidence of a textural teleplasm?’ And it seems to me that this is the only recorded teleplasm forming itself into a word.” The teleplasm also connected with MacWilliam’s interest in language and repetition in the seance transcripts. “The prime spirit guide I was interested in was a man called Walter. In the transcriptions, the words photograph, image, taken image, taken photograph would continuously come through, so the spirit guide was demanding that they had to take a photograph and this constant demand really resonated … and the fact that this is an image of a word inversely reflected the idea that here are all these words about image.” In that vein, she invited Belfast poet Ciaran Carson to join her in her studio where she recreated Hamilton’s seance cabinet. MacWilliam recorded Carson’s reaction to the material and the cabinet and had him read a list of photography related words. Although the seances were held in complete darkness, Hamilton
P
was able to capture the action in photographs, using up to 14 cameras in different angles. “I was particularly interested in the way he arranged the seance rooms and his use of cameras,” she says. MacWilliam is also interested in Hamilton’s use of stereoscopic cameras, something she uses in this installation. “It provides an image that when you look at it, you believe this thing is really there,” says MacWillam. The film also features Atlanta-based Danish-American poltergeist investigator William G. Roll and Arla Marshall, Canadian granddaughter of Hamilton’s Scottish sitter Susan Marshall. F-L-A-M-M-A-R-I-O-N also features two stereoscopic images and a large sculptural plywood cutout of the teleplasm. “I’m not setting out to prove the voracity of these events. What I’m really interested in is that these things happened and there was this time in history when people banned together as a community to have seances and sittings,” says MacWilliam. “I’m also very interested in the photography and how that fits into the history of photography and the fact that modern spiritualism really developed in tandem with the birth of contemporary photography.” Catch an Artist Talk with MacWilliam, Wed., Sept. 26 in Room A162 of the Visual Arts Building at UVic. Open Space is also hosting Persistent Personalities, a series of events that explore the phenomena of spirit communication, archives and the persistence of life after death, Sept. 25-27. Join them Thurs., Sept. 27 at 7pm for talks by local historians Walter Meyer zu Erpen (president of the Survival Research Institute of Canada) and John Adams (discoverthepast.com) before a paranormal investigation at 10pm with clairvoyant medium Dawn Kirkham. Donations welcome. Victoria-based archivist and historian Walter Falk has digitized the entire Hamilton archive. You can explore it at the computer stations at Open Space or at thehamiltonfiles.info.

MONDAY GUIDE > ARTS & CULTURE EVERYDAY OBJECTS MARVEL f anyone could marvel at the majesty of a mop, it would be Victoria’s beloved poet Lorna Crozier. The Governor General’s Award winner has done just that with her newest collection, The Book of Marvels: A Compendium of Everyday Things, launching at the UVic Bookstore, Wed., Oct. 3. In her unmistakable way, Crozier has idolized the most everyday objects from apples to zippers. Using a catalogue of curiousity, Crozier’s meditations on “things” in The Book of Marvels takes the reader on a joy ride through what might have formerly been considered the “junk drawer.” Her refreshing eye breathes secret life into all those tokens so easily taken for granted — the flashlight, fork, hinge, light bulb, needle, scissors, tooth. Just as the best poetry is read aloud, D & M Publishers has gone one step further with this new work and issued select recorded readings of Crozier’s marvels online (see them at dmpibooks.com/book/greystone-books/thebook-of-marvels/video). For those who have the opportunity to see Crozier read about her marvels in person, there will be nothing everyday about it. See Lorna Crozier read from The Book of Marvels: A Compendium of Everyday Things, Wed., Oct. 3, 7:30pm at the UVic Bookstore (3800 Finnerty). Book $19.95 from Greystone Books. M — Danielle Pope

(“Don’t harsh my buzz, man.”) SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 Older Sagittarians can think back to the mid-80s for a few hints about what to expect in the next few years. At this stage in your life, you’re entering a phase where you will say goodbye to many things: people, places and possessions. Not to worry. Although change is disconcerting, the truth is whatever you are giving up in the next few years is what you no longer need. It’s history. You are simply letting go of what is no longer relevant because it’s superfluous or deadwood you no longer need to carry around. Do not look upon this time of transition as loss or failure. Instead, think of it as lightening up so you can be freer. Capice? CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 Many Capricorns feel a strong loyalty to their community. You become involved with groups because you want to see things around you develop through positive growth. You like to lend your efforts to improve society. But because of this, many of you are stretched too thin! You’re trying to satisfy too many people and too many organizations. Your greatest price is that you neglect respecting yourself and acknowledging your own rights and integrity. In the next few years, this will be your challenge: Can you balance juggling the demands of team workers with your own demands? Sure, you want to contribute but you can’t deny your own pursuit of your own dreams. AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 “Look Ma, no hands!” Aquarians are entering their time of harvest, which is certainly reason to rejoice! For many, your cherished dreams will come true. Things that you’ve worked for since 2001 (and certainly 2007) are now reaching a culmination (in the next few years) where you will see very clearly what is working and what is not. Let go of what is not working. Don’t linger there. Don’t label things as failures. Just move on! People in authority will respect your achievements. Although this is a time of heavy responsibilities, the next few years might easily be one of the most rewarding times of your life. PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 It’s been a financial squeeze for you and will probably continue this way for a while. In the last three years, you’ve had to get along with less because many of you have split from supportive partnerships. Naturally, this made you stand on your own two feet (which are beautifully shod, since your sign rules shoes). And this has been empowering! Like Popeye, you’re declaring to the world, “I yam what I yam!” Finally, you will pull yourself up by your bootstraps and swing in a new direction to prepare for something big. You might not even know what it is yet but you know it’s there, just beyond your reach. Go get ’em, tiger!?

Time is running out to protect B.C.’s Sacred Headwaters In 2008, the B.C. government placed a moratorium on Shell’s fracking plans for coal bed methane in the Sacred Headwaters. This remarkable region is the shared birthplace of three of B.C.’s great wild salmon rivers: the Skeena, Nass and Stikine. The moratorium expires on December 18, 2012. Now is the time to ensure the protection of our jobs, our families and our wild salmon economy.
You can make this happen. Premier Christy Clark has a decision to make. Give her your support in protecting the Sacred Headwaters. Visit Skeenawatershed.com to find out how.
