Immune 7 with Nutricol Immune 7® is one of the most comprehensive immunomodulating formulas of its kind available. It is complementary immune enhancing medicinal mushroom therapy at its best! Immune 7® is a potent formulation of six carefully chosen medicinal mushrooms, with the addition of our proprietary blend Nutricol®. Each mushroom carries its own unique signature that impresses its distinctive healing properties on the immune system.

Taditional Medicinals
Selected Teas
Dr. Shannon Sarrasin, ND
The Gut Connection
Founded 38 years ago to provide affordable traditional herbal self care.
Today Traditional Medicinals is the largest organic, fair trade certified, and medicinal tea brand in the US. All of their ingredients are plant-based (no synthetic, petroleum-based, or animal-derived components) and suitable for use by those seeking a healthy, natural lifestyle, including vegetarians and, in most cases, vegans as well.
The digestive system is a major foundation for good health in the body. When digestive health goes awry, it can spark symptoms at a systemic level. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I direct my attention towards the digestive system when I see conditions such as skin rashes, asthma, arthritis, allergies, fibromyalgia, headaches, autism/ADHD and autoimmune conditions.
In 2008 Traditional Medicinals installed 1450 solar panels at their manufacturing facility to make them a clean, green, sun powered tea making machine. On average the solar panels provide about 70% of their total electricity needs and they offset the rest with wind-energy credits. Pair this with their low impact packaging and an integrated recycling plan helps leave them a light foot print. Their tea cartons are made from 100% recycled paper/board (at least 55% verified post-post consumer waste) and shipped in 100% recycled post consumer waste shipping cases.
For starters, the digestive system is vital for providing a healthy nutritional foundation for the body. I would challenge the phrase “you are what you eat” with the more appropriate phrase “you are what you absorb”. If you are not breaking down food well, you will have compromised nutrient absorption. Nutrient depletion is a contributor to just about every health condition we know.
The tea bags are made from 100% unbleached hemp fiber, attached to a 100% cotton string, and the tea tags are made from recycled paper. 20 Wrapped Tea Bags • Manufactured in Canada

Signs that you are not digesting well include symptoms such as bloating/gas, loose stool or diarrhea, vertical ridges or white spots on the nails, and a crack down the center of the tongue (to name a few).

It is recommended to work with a skilled practitioner to formulate an individualized treatment plan. Naturopathic testing may be warranted to identify food sensitivities, bacterial/yeast overgrowth or other contributing factors.
2. REPLACE: If digestive juices are suspected to be low, it is important to replete or replace them. Hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes or bile acids may be recommended. 3. RE-INOCULATE: Perhaps one of the most important steps is re-inoculating the gut with a high quality probiotic. 4. REPAIR: Various support is used to sooth and repair the gut. L-glutamine is an amino acid that provides fuel for replenishing the cells lining the digestive tract. Key nutrients are omega 3 EFA’s, zinc, vitamin A, C, E, as well as herbs such as slippery elm.

HEAL THE GUT
1. REMOVE: Remove food sensitivities and offending foods from the diet. In some instances natural treatments are required to kill off any offending bacteria, yeast or parasites.
Amy’s
Organic
The term leaky gut is used to describe the phenomenon of intestinal hyper-permeability. When the gut is unhealthy or inflamed, the natural barriers of the intestine are broken down and food proteins from the gut (such as gluten or casein) can slip into systemic circulation. The immune system views the food proteins in circulation as invaders, and the resulting immune reaction triggers inflammation in the body.

Get crabby in Port Angeles D
elicious feasts will be a snap this month, with the 12th annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival gets cracking in Port Angeles, Wash, Oct. 11 to 13. Though Victorians will have to hop a boat to enjoy the joyously crabby atmosphere, the event has lured thousands of international visitors with locally caught shells, Crab Revival gospel music, Grab-A-Crab Tank Derby and the Crabfest 5-K Fun Run/Walk. “Crabfest is the annual celebration of our region’s diverse bounty, the seafood, agriculture and maritime traditions, and the breathtaking coastal environment that is home to the Dungeness crab,” says festival produc-
ing director Scott Nagel. Once again, the event will take place downtown at the Port Angeles City Pier, Gateway Center and Red Lion Hotel overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Victoria. More than 80 booths will be featured on the city pier including juried crafts, merchants, nonprofit environmental organizations and festival sponsors. In addition to the “Crab Central,” 15 regional restaurants will provide visitors with delicious seafood dishes, from crab cakes and fish tacos, to crab enchiladas, crab Rangoon, crab bisque, seafood gumbo, northwest paella, oyster stew, grilled scallops and more. — Danielle Pope

A Zombie Love Story
Professor Sali A. Tagliamonte Killam Research Fellow Director of the University of Toronto Sociolinguistics/Language Variation and Change Research Laboratory Department of Linguistics, University of Toronto
Internet language in the young generation: So sick or so cool? Wednesday, 2 October, 7 – 8:30 pm Turpin Building (formerly SSM) A104 Sali A. Tagliamonte is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. She studies how language varies and changes as a complex system and in relation to society. In this talk, Professor Tagliamonte presents the results of a two-year study of young Canadians across four styles: email, instant messaging, texting on mobile phones, and formal written language.
The analysis focuses on three key phenomena, including infamous forms lol, ttyl, intensifier so, and future going to: e.g. im going to go to bed … so tired … lol. The analysis exposes many different spellings but no degeneration of grammar. Instead, young people are fluidly navigating a complex set of new written registers.
Sponsored by the Department of Linguistics Free and open to the public l Seating is limited l Visit our online events calendar at www.uvic.ca/events Persons with a disability requiring accommodation for this lecture should call 250-472-4579 at least 48 hours in advance.

aying Bif Naked is an eternal optimist doesn’t do her incredibly buoyant personality justice. The Juno Awardwinning, multi-platinum record-selling Canadian rocker, actress and speaker has been through the ringer, both emotionally and physically, and still maintains a hopeful resilience that inspires her legions of fans worldwide. After being adopted by American missionaries and moving from New Delhi, India to Kentucky and eventually to Winnipeg as a child, a bout with breast cancer, eating disorders, having her ovaries removed, a failed kidney, open heart surgery, 11 engagements, two divorces and the death of two beloved animals, Bif is still rockin’ and letting nothing stand in her way. “How can we not?” she says. “No matter what, everything is a privilege. I don’t think it’s because my parents were so religious that they instilled it in us, that’s just really what I think. I can’t complain. Ever. Even if I’m dying of cancer or have emergency heart surgery like last year, or anything, I just think, ‘well, I have gas in my car’ — I can’t even believe I have a car. I’ve got nothing to complain about ever. ... There are so many other things going on in the world than me being sick. In Syria right now, it’s beyond comprehension what they’re going through.” Her father, who now lives in Saskatchewan, battled prostate cancer recently and Bif says the two are alike in a lot of ways. “He lives to make people laugh in the chemo wards. He’s a very funny man. ... I like going to the chemo wards. People have anxiety about cancer treatments and I’m a goofball. I wish I could be a professional hand-holder. If

I could choose a career, that’s what I’d be.” After her bout with cancer, Bif says she was ready to give up on her career as a performer. “I preferred for a long time doing acoustic shows because they felt more emotionally supportive. After cancer and having to get a divorce, I was such a gong-show emotionally for so long. All I really wanted to do was feel really safe. I became kind of disillusioned with the rock shows, especially after chemotherapy. I felt really self-conscious, things had changed and I wasn’t prepared to play a concert in front of a sea of iPhones and no faces. I felt something I had never felt previously in concerts, which was shame. I didn’t look the same, I had no hair, I wasn’t anorexic anymore and I felt stupid and embarrassed that I had gotten sick in the first place. It was something I wasn’t familiar with or prepared for. I said ‘Fuck this, I’m not playing anymore. Period.’” Her manager and her guitar player talked her into playing an acoustic show in a big theatre in Nanaimo. “They were so gracious and so kind. I felt safe and relieved. I thought I would give it another shot.” Now most of her concerts are a combination of acoustic and electric. And that’s what fans can expect of her show Oct. 3 at the Charlie White Theatre in Sidney. STRAIGHT-EDGE Bif is currently writing her memoirs for publisher Harper Collins. “I love language. I love using words to convey a feeling,” she says. “I’m such a flowery, long-winded writer, my editor keeps telling me ‘We don’t want Gone with the Wind’. I’m also such a square. I went straight-edge early into my touring career, so I don’t have a lot of racy, raunchy road stories.” But there was a racy time in her life. “I was an idiot for so long. I think we can all say that about our younger selves,” she says. “I was very dramatic. I took things very hard, very personally. I was very sensitive. I internalized a lot. I was easily embarrassed. I was always self conscious.” As a teenage runaway, Bif dabbled with alcohol and turned to tattoos as a shield to give herself a tough exterior. “I think my tattoos were armour to
hide behind. I was hiding my anxiety and feeling self conscious, or that someone was going to hurt me or take advantage of me because I’m so gullible. That personality trait has been there since I was a little kid. Oh man. It’s never going to change. I will always be that person. But as a result, I’ve gotten myself into a lot of predicaments over the years. Because I’m such a trusting person, I fall into misadventure very easily.” As a young woman on the road, touring Europe with a band of men, her gullibility got her into trouble. She stopped drinking when she was 24 and has lived a straight-edge lifestyle ever since. Even her coffee is decaf. “I kept getting raped or waking up somewhere I didn’t know. I would throw up on myself. I did heroin because I was drunk. Every terrible thing that could ever happen to a human being happened to me because I was drinking and not smart about my surroundings or not able to protect myself or behave in a safe manner. And that I can directly link to alcohol for me. ... I was always the person that ended up in a bad situation. Most people can handle it but I just never seemed to be able to remain safe. It was a decision that I made early into my adult years and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. But I still fucked up. I still made bad decisions with relationships ... because it was already a pattern and patterns like that are hard to overcome ... but I’m really happy that I’m not a drunk-in-public-falling-down person.” Bif has been a vegan for the last 25 years, seven of which she only ate raw food. “When I got breast cancer I wanted cucumber rolls and since the rice was cooked, I went off the raw diet during chemo. Now the only thing I have that isn’t raw is coffee.” Bif tours with a three-piece band; Jason Darr (guitar), Jacen Ekstrom (bass) and Galvio Cirillo (drums). “They are rock stars. They love to go out and socialize. They’re funny and fun. They love to have lots of beer and wine and laughs,” — a stark contrast to the lifestyle she leads personally. Those preparing her tour rider wouldn’t know she’s a straight-edge vegan. “It’s all for them. It’s pizza and beer
and chicken wings. I don’t eat meat, wheat or dairy. ... That’s just my nature. As long as they’re happy and they’re fed, I’ll always find something. I can always get a salad at Subway. It’s the same thing that all of our mothers did. Once a mama, always a mama.” Bif doesn’t have any human children, but calls herself a “full-time dog mom.” Her 16-year-old dog Nicholas recently passed away, leaving her with an empty nest at her condo in Vancouver’s Yaletown. “I’ve got no dogs, no boyfriend, no husband. Now I can travel freely and go where I feel like creating.” Since Nicholas’ passing, Bif has spent a lot of time in Paris at the home of her manager Peter Karroll, whose daughter is Bif’s goddaughter. “They’re like a second family.” Karroll has been Bif’s manager since she was 22 years old. “I would have quit many times, or gone back to school but it was never an option. It was like being a gymnast with a mean Russian coach,” she says with a laugh. “We’d do heavy metal tours in Europe when I was 24 and 25 and he used to beg me not to talk on stage. I’d be there in front of a very aggressive audience and I’d go ‘thank you guys. I’m so glad you liked my song’ and Peter would be waving me off.” NEW LIFE Bif has a new acceptance of herself now that she’s in her 40’ s. After all she’s been through, she’s more comfortable with where she came from and who she’s become. After receiving an honorary degree from Simon Fraser University in June, Bif says it sparked a desire to learn. “It infected me. I want to go back to school. I’d love to study sciences or medicine. My mom says I’m too old and that I wouldn’t graduate until I’m 60. But if I make it to 60, I better be a doctor.”

acific Opera Victoria is going to Olympic proportions for the first opera of its 2013-14 season. Not only is POV celebrating its 100th production and Giuseppe Verdi’s bicentennial with his great comedy Falstaff — based on the works of William Shakespeare — but they’ve hired freelance designer Leslie Frankish to bring the world of the Merry Wives of Windsor to life. Frankish is a highly sought-after theatre and opera designer whose claim to fame is the role of senior production designer for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Remember the giant beaver. “That was me,” says Frankish. With a degree in architecture from the University of Manitoba, training in theatre craft and design from the Banff Centre for the Arts, and decades of experience designing for theatre and opera (Shaw Festival, Citadel Theatre, National Arts Centre, Vancouver Playhouse and more) Frankish made her debut with POV in 2001 with The Taming of the Shrew.
Now, Frankish is gearing up for her eighth POV production, and she’s up for the challenge that Verdi’s Falstaff presents to even an experienced designer. “One real challenge is the transition times,” says Frankish. “You can’t abandon the music.” Theatre and opera designer Leslie Frankish works on the set of Falstaff.

The lake looked like glass. But when I hit the water after flipping off a tube being pulled by a boat going 65 km/h, it felt like smacking into cement. The last thing I remember before that was deciding to lean into the turn further than I had ever done before. Instead of experiencing a momentary rush, I’m still being treated for whiplash. That’s a brief version of one of the more interesting stories from my summer vacation. Jim Leard tells stories for a living. The artistic director of the Story Theatre Company has been writing and performing them for more than 30 years. He says there are three basic elements to crafting a good one: establish a compelling character, send them on a high-stakes quest, and end with a satisfying resolution. What about our own tale? So many of us seem to live our lives as though we are characters in somebody else’s story; reacting unconsciously to what’s being presented to us. While teaching storytelling at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, Leard encourages his students to be self-aware. During one class he invites them to narrate their own lives. The exercise challenges them to become conscious of what’s going on in and around them. Leard also points out that a bad storyteller can make a brilliant tale boring, while a gifted storyteller can transform the mundane into the magical. In order to be a great storyteller you

need to be emotionally connected to the tale, and the audience with whom it is being shared. I wonder if my life is like the Choose-YourOwn-Adventure books that I used to read as a kid? If so, what kind of character am I creating for myself? Do I face my tale’s inevitable twists and turns with fear or bravery? Have I constructed a page-turner that’s too fast-paced to allow for moments of reflection? Or am I stuck in a NeverEnding Story of responding the same way to the same obstacles without ever overcoming them? I began this column with a story about a completely unexpected accident. Perhaps I’ll end it by starting a new chapter of my life, more conscious about the choices I’m writing for myself. Adam Sawatsky reports on arts & lifestyle weekdays on CTV News Vancouver Island with Hudson Mack. On weekends he hosts Eye on the Arts on CFAX 1070.

Spooky offerings round out the fall October is one of the busiest months in the arts with an incredible number of dance, opera and musical productions happening throughout the Capital Region. During the summer I volunteer for the Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival, and was intrigued to learn about Shakespeare Onstage Offstage, a six-week community celebration of the Bard starting Sept. 10 with exhibits and special events (many free) to engage youth and adults. Highlights include Pacific Opera Victoria’s presentation of Verdi’s opera Falstaff, and AnnMarie Macdonald’s play Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) at the Belfry Theatre. Online at internetshakespeare. uvic.ca/onstageoffstage. I was originally introduced to the choreography and work of ballet dancer Amanda Gray at Treena Stubel’s Bounce Dance Cabaret.

t’s late summer in the Bering Sea, where chum salmon are living, avoiding danger and finding food, when something inside of them snaps. It’s an instinctual trigger they can’t ignore, leading them back to the place of their birth and soon, their death. “They’ve been spending their life out in the ocean for three to four years, sometimes five, growing to be big adult salmon, defeating all the odds against them,” naturalist and manager of the Goldstream Nature House, Tracey Bleackley explains. “Once that trigger has gone off they stop eating and they’re just swimming. They’re just heading here.” Goldstream River is one of the last on Vancouver Island to have its salmon run, primarily because of its southern location. For tourists and residents alike, however, it’s one of the most accessible and wellknown spots to see this cycle of nature in action, drawing thousands of people. After the journey south, achieved through scent, sight and a natural ability to find magnetic north, the salmon make their way up the river when the temperature drops, the rain increases and leaves start dropping from the trees. The females begin to swim against the current of

the river as they search for the exact spot they were born. They can get within a metre of their own birthplace, using scent to pinpoint the location. Females dig holes in which to lay their eggs as the males fight one another for fertilization rights. The female sinks into her nest and leaves her eggs, at which point the dominant male has just 15 seconds to fertilize them. Both the male and female fish, having laid and fertilized all the eggs they can, die. It’s this spectacle which causes the parking lot of Goldstream Park to spill over to the sides of the Trans-Canada Highway every autumn. It’s far from the end, though. What park staff refer to as “the clean up crew” begins its work. Multiple species of birds an d mammals, including hundreds of eagles, some bears and wolves, make their way to the river to feast on the dead fish. Long after the scavengers have left, as the sun moves closer to our part of the world and the waters of Goldstream River begin to warm up in the early days of spring, the labours of the prior fall begin to pay off. The eggs begin to hatch, first into alevin, and then into fry, thousands of them, wiggling their way out of the gravel to begin their trip to the open ocean, ready to face a dangerous life in the hopes of starting the entire process over again.

n a hip shop tucked away in Langford, you’ll find everything from antique glass door knobs, to skeleton keys or an 1880s solid oak buffet. Unearth these treasures at the Victoria Trading Post, which hosts not one, but two, noteworthy stores. The ground level of the building is home to Memories. Owner Fred Gallichen has run the business where he has specialized in high-end furniture, art and Persian carpets for 40 years. The shop is packed from floor to ceiling with detailed furniture and hundreds of wooden chairs hang from the rafters. “If something has already lasted 100 years, it will last another 100,” says Gallichen. “A lot of my items are one-of-a-kind. The basement of the Trading Post at 3108 Jacklin Rd. is home to General Salvage. Here, the antiques are significantly different. While upstairs items can run into the hundreds or thousands of dollars, below ground, prices start at just $1. Here, you’ll find mostly odds and ends including 100-year-old skeleton keys and old military items such as ammunition boxes and flashlights. “Usually someone will find something here (they want),” says Kristina Lagadyn, assistant manager of General Salvage. Children are the biggest buyers of skeleton keys and old bottles, while owners of character homes come in when they are looking replace fixtures. Both businesses have been growing with the up-cycling movement which encourages taking something old and using it for an alternate purpose. The employees have joined in, making and selling items including door knob coat hooks and serving trays made of salvaged wood and old handles.

PASSION FOR THE PAST
A
long, long time ago, Don McLean can still remember when music used to make him smile. But over the more than 45 years the American troubadour has been making music, it has changed — and changed a lot. “Music as I would define it is disappearing,” says McLean. “More people these days are screaming a lot. ... Songs can be identified within a few notes, there’s no real melody. There’s a lot of blather out there. They write a hook and repeat the same thing over and over. And that’s a good version of a pop song today. The bad stuff is unintelligible garbage.” As a folk artist who came up in the ‘60s and ‘70s playing in coffee houses alongside the likes of Pete Seeger, McLean has seen the industry change as quickly as the music. “The recording business is over — I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” says McLean with a sarcastic tone. “It’s just another thing eaten up by technology, along with books. Movies will soon follow.” He reminisces about the times when music fans would “visit records” at a store like Tower Records, and buy a whole album instead of downloading one track — allowing the listener to discover a number of songs they wouldn’t otherwise get to hear. “Now it’s a closed circle, Don McLean and that’s not very creative,” he says. plays the Another thing McLean Alix Goolden Hall, loathes about the changOct. 12 es in music technology is the prominence DJs play at 7:30pm in the current landscape. “I have seen 50,000

people standing in front of a guy playing records,” says McLean. “He’s not singing, not playing an instrument, and the audience is getting off on this shit. It’s sad that the audience would get so excited over a geek playing a record, that what they feel they deserve is so low for them to be excited about something like that is pretty sad. ... I really wonder about the mentality of young people sometimes and what’s going on in their heads.” And although these quotes make him sound like a curmudgeonly old man, he has a sense of humour about all the changes that is rather refreshing. “I was old-fashioned when I was contemporary,” says McLean. “I’ve always been against a lot of stuff. I’ve gotten older, so now it suits me and my age now.” McLean says it’s his extensive repertoire that’s allowed him to continue to tour after all these years. “I like the fact that I can get on the stage and ply my craft as a singer, a songwriter, and spend an hour-and-a-half with an audience and do this at the top of my game,” says McLean. “I’m in full control and I think I’m fine for the foreseeable future.” McLean tours with a full band, but knows how to play with dynamics. “We have a rock ‘n’ roll band that can also be very quiet,” says McLean. “We can play any show anywhere, and it’s a powerful show — but it will also go down to just guitar or me and the piano. And I always do the songs that people come to hear — American Pie, Vincent, Castles in the Air, Crying ... I want people to be happy.”

“Giving Back Through Art”
Back before I was in the Grapes of Wrath, my brother Chris and I had a punk rock band called Gentlemen of Horror. We would put on concerts around our hometown of Kelowna and occasionally make the big drive to Vancouver. Since we lived in such a small town and had few friends who were into punk rock, we connected with fellow like-minded teens in other small towns in B.C. who also had bands. I published a fanzine (a crude photocopied music magazine) called Indecent Exposures in which I wrote about the music scene in Kelowna. I sold it at record stores in Vancouver and through the mail. I met my friend Bruce, who lived in Cranbrook, after he found my zine and wrote me a letter. We would send each other cassettes of our bands and bands we liked and traded stories of how our towns sucked. One day he phoned me and asked if we wanted to come play some gigs in Cranbrook. After my brother and I asked our mom and she said “yes,” the tour was on! The day finally came and we loaded up mom’s white Camaro and drove to Cranbrook. Bruce had arranged two gigs. The first was at an old hall. Back in those days the poster would always say “Punk Rock Show“ because you knew you could get a few people out of curiosity. The gig attracted maybe 25 people, mostly bad kids with mullets who smoked. It was your typical disappointing Gentlemen of Horror show. Our dreams of playing in front of a sold-out room of excited punks never happened. But the next gig was gonna be great; the next gig was at the local roller rink. They had the stage at one end of the rink and all the skaters would skate by the stage as they did their lap. The regulars weren’t too happy with our screaming punk rock noise and as they skated by the stage would yell obscenities at us. We thought this was funny and continued to rage on. By the middle of our set there was a lot of upset roller regulars, so we cut it short and decided to pack up and leave. As we went to our cars, some local kids were waiting for us with hockey sticks and rocks. They were trying to let the air out of our tires, threatening us and throwing rocks. Finally, the police showed up and told us to leave town, and we agreed. The police gave us an escort to the city limits and all was well again in Cranbrook.

oday is day six on my current tour: 10 airports, three cities, two shows. I hate flying. I hate it. I enjoy planes, but I hate flying. I travel all the time and it has become a mixed bag of insanity. When I travel, I know how to pack and be ready for the whole airport experience. No checked bags. Print off the ticket before you get there. Shoes and belt off. GO! I feel I am one of very few who know how this is supposed to work, but sometimes it’s the airport that throws a wrench into things. Going through airport security at the booming metropolis that is the North Bay Ontario airport-garage-and-nail salon I got to see something I had never seen before. Everyone’s seen somebody pulled out of the line for a random security check and in North Bay it was no different, though in this case it was a baby. Thats right! A baby! Not the
mother or father, but the eight-monthold criminal mastermind herself. They swabbed her hands and patted down her tiny body. I tell you if it wasn’t so adorable, I would have been furious. On my flight back from North Bay to Toronto on the world’s smallest plane, I was treated to the experience of sharing my adventure – and seat – with the most rotund whale of a man I have ever seen. To be clear, I’m 350 lbs. I’m gigantic. So if I am calling you rotund, it should have some weight to it. Worried you might be rotund? Here is a test. When you opened this magazine did you break a sweat? No? Then you should be fine. I don’t mean to rant, but if there are two seats, it seems only fair that we each get our own. Why do I need to share mine? People always say: “Well where do we draw the line?” This guy! We draw the line at this guy. I’ve been on tour in Ontario and it’s been delightful – outside of the flights. Because all of the shows are in theatres and the tour is being produced by a professional company. The only thing I need to do is show up and tell jokes, so I always get asked what I do in my down time. If you ever want to know where to
find a comedian in your town, just go to the best greasy spoon restaurant and I bet you $10 they will be there. We look for them! We ask around! Greasy spoon means a real restaurant. An older, funny waitress that gives you sass and cheap coffee. This morning we went to one in Sault Ste. Marie and couldn’t have been happier. My friend Angelo, who loves food and can eat more than any person I know, was bested by the “Hungry Man’s Breakfast.” When the waitress cleared the table and saw food left on his plate she loudly asked: “What the hell is this?” To which Angelo said: “Well I didn’t know the meal came with a whole carton of eggs.” And she replied: “Well yea! That’s why we call it the “Hungry Man’s Breakfast” not the “Hungry Woman’s Breakfast.” You don’t get that kind of treatment at IHOP and I think they are the worse for it. This same, tiny diner was furnished with four tables and about a dozen malt-shoppe style stools. Of the 12 black stools, one was red causing us to ask why? “I dunno! Looks nice and artsy though doesn’t it? Hey! Maybe we should change the name of this place to “The Red Stool.” Yeah. I don’t think so. If your food has anything to do with red stool I don’t think you should keep going there. Just a thought.

THE BIG PERSONALITY
Derwin
Blanshard MARY ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com
T
he Victoria Event Centre has gone classy the last Sunday of the month — extremely classy — thanks to Derwin Blanshard Esq., Victoria’s own raconteur, pundit, gadfly and world-famous talk show host. The Extremely Classy Sunday Evening Programme is a late-night style, make-believe “world-wide syndicated TV talk show,” complete with a live audience, comedians, musical guests and cheesy commercials. The big difference here is that it’s not really on TV. Instead, the audience gets to witness both the “on-camera” magic and the magnificent moments during “commercial breaks” where the dysfunctional cast of 20 characters give a glimpse into their turbulent lives. Derwin Blanshard is a descendant of Richard Blanshard, the first governor of the colony of Vancouver Island. Derwin “is a millionaire, or at least he acts like one,” says producer, director and writer Wes Borg. “He’s an old-school drinker, cigar-smoking white guy,” says Borg. “It’s not that he dislikes the poor, it’s just that he doesn’t understand their lifestyle choices.” Derwin is unapologetic, totally self-confident and great with the ladies. He even has a crew of ex wives that are a part of the show. In fact, his first ex-wife Corky — the boozing mother of his rebel daughter — is a regular part of the spectacle. He’s even got two martini-sipping, kung-fu kicking ballerinas, Amanda Gray and Ashley Evans of Ballet Etoile — that pirouette the show to commercial breaks. The first season had 10 extremely successful episodes, featuring the likes of Nobel Peace Prize winner and Green MLA Andrew Weaver (who played Derwin’s bodyguard); Bob McDonald, host of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks, Olympic bronze medal rower Mike Lewis and many others. “Weaver resigned as Derwin’s bodyguard after he was elected to office,” says Borg.

“We’ll have to replace him because there’s often an attempt on Derwin’s life during the show.” Derwin even managed to get Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen to sign a peace accord — live on “fake” TV. “It was to end the war between Oak Bay and Victoria. We even made a Ken Burns-style documentary about it. The idea was that every year for the last 100 years, because there was no peace, the mayors had to have a bare-knuckle fist-fight in Beacon Hill Park and they were just trying to get out of the fist-fight,” says Borg. “Victoria has this amazing past and it’s not hard to insert something into it. If it seems absurd, it’s not as absurd as the house that a bird owned — we didn’t have to make that up — so when you do something about the war between Oak Bay and Victoria it’s not that absurd.” Another moment in Victoria’s “history” that was featured was the infamous “Foul Bay of Pigs Explosion.” “It’s the most fun thing I’ve ever done — ever. And I’ve done some pretty fun shit,” says Borg. The season premiere features Tal Bachman, performing his global #1 hit She’s so High, as well as restaurateur and actor Howie Siegel, Derwin’s hated actress ex-wife Amanda Lisman, alongside the regular cast which includes Morgan Cranny, Kathryn Popham, Karen Brelsford, Rod Crawford, Paul Oppers, Kelly Hudson, Rian Kelly and more. The second season kicks off Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. at the Victoria Event Centre (1415 Broad). Tickets are $20 or $18 for the overly-dressed. Advance tickets are available at derwin11.eventbrite.ca. Season 2 Episode 2 is Sunday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. Find out more and watch some video clips at derwinblanshard.com.

lement Kwan says the key to attracting the judges’ eye at a juried art show is: “keep it simple.” Kwan should know, his work has been judged on an international level and he has also sat in judgment of others. “If you go into an art show, don’t think about the jury too much,” advises Kwan. “Your art has got to be strong. … Some people have good skills and use lots of detail. A lot of time the jury is seeing thousands of works and they can’t see that detail.” Contrast, he says, is key. Kwan uses the traditional values of dark and light to create realistic oil paintings that sell for up to $15,000. The artist is heavily influenced by the French impressionists and uses both photography and emotion to help guide his brush. “Nowadays it’s a lot easier than a long time ago. (On the) Internet you can see the top guys, how they do it. It’s easier for people to learn.” He says education and practice also help to develop style and character in your work. “Victoria has so many events in a small city. It’s got everything culture-wise, especially multicultural (events).” Kwan attends many local events to find subjects for his work. One of his first was a

portrait of the Alix Goolden Hall, along with one other, he submitted it to the Sooke Fine Art Show in 1997. “I saw the show and thought, ‘I can do that,’” he says with an easy laugh. Both works sold and there was no looking back for Kwan, who got his start as an artist in southern China where he was raised and attended the Chinese government’s fundamental art training programs in Guandong. Before immigrating to Canada in 1979, Kwan worked as an artist painting large sceneries for the theatre. In Canada, his talent sat idle for 20 years while he laboured in a machine shop to earn a living. “When people worry about being a painter

full-time, I think a day job is very important. It provides your everyday needs … being stable, having security is vital to an artist’s creativity. … Don’t rush it, let the art tell you when it is the right time to be a full-time artist.” Kwan has been able to concentrate solely on his art since 2007. His work can be found in galleries in the U.S., Alberta, and the Peninsula Gallery in Sidney. Kwan will be featured as one of the Masters at the Sidney Fine Art Show which runs Oct. 18-20 at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney.

The joy of dance PAUL DESTROOPER
I
often get asked why I am so committed to having a ballet company in this city. With the challenges in arts funding and the quandry of tickets sales, why do I do it? One might as well ask why I breathe. I, and the dancers who work with me, live to create, to fly across the stage and bring an audience to their feet with joy, the joy of dance, a beautiful art form. As we enter our 11th season, we are back in the studio creating Frankenstein, an ageless story that will be told in an entirely new way. As with so many of our productions, I begin with a germ of an idea then interpret the story in my own way, find music and then begin the choreography. As the dancers and I work together the story evolves and that energy brings the passion, precision and touch of humour that we have become known for to the stage. Those who have attended any of our performances also know to expect the unexpected, that the music may range from Bach to Freddy Mercury, from the Beatles to Beethoven, a ballerina may sing, a man may wear a tutu and in every instance, it will be beautiful, compelling, memorable, and the dancing will be fierce. If I could have one wish it would be that I could find a way to convey to people – especially those who discount ballet – that dancers are very much athletes and watching their power and grace can be mesmerizing when it is done well. As a gentleman in our audience recently said: “I thought I was coming for a nap; boy was I wrong.” Frankenstein is at the MacPherson Theatre from Oct. 25-27. Get a ticket and come join us – I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Paul Destrooper is the artistic director and choreographer for Ballet Victoria. He has choreographed more than 25 works and three full-length ballets. His works have garnered glowing reviews in both Canada and the U.S.A.

TAKE A FLYING LEAP ZIPLINING SENDS YOU SOARING THROUGH THE TREETOPS DANIELLE POPE news@mondaymag.com
I
f flying through the air on little more than a thread sounds threatening, walking off the ledge of a 150-foot tree is an assault to the senses. My knees quiver as I step up one, two, three stairs closer to the wire fastened high on the tree, then I teeter on tippy toes as the guide clicks the latch from my waist to the line. My eyes are squeezed shut, though I can feel my heart doing its best to drop down into my stomach for solace. My head spins a little as I catch the slightest glimpse of the sky around me. This high up, you can hardly even smell the pine of the trees – or if I could, that sense has already fainted. “All set!” my guide tells me and his walkie talkie at the same time. He beams as he monkeys himself out of my way, leaving nothing but space around me. For a moment, I think of changing my mind, but despite myself, my feet are already following instructions and stepping towards a great precipice of nothing but a blurry green backdrop and air. If this doesn’t hold me, I envision a five-second drop to my death. But if all goes well ... I am flying. Wind gusts past my face, and a shriek escapes my mouth, two seconds too late. I gasp. My legs instinctively relax into the harness, and I blast through the zipline in a few watery blinks. Smack! My line hits the bumper break at the end of the cable, and the next thing I know, another guide is pulling me in. “How was that?” she asks with a hopeful smile. I wonder what my face must look like as I breathe out one word: “awesome.” Jonathan Heerema of Adrena LINE Zipline Adventure Tours says he sees at least one person every month who comes out specifically to beat fears. “If we can get people up there, on the training line, most of the time they’re shocked at how easy it is, and they love it,” Heerema says. “Then, we can’t get them to quit.” Case in point: my mother. To celebrate her impending birthday, my mom decides to join me on the adventure, adding a new fear to my own – how will she do? She watches the preview videos in the waiting room before we suit up, and I can see her starting to swallow a little more rapidly. By the time the guides help her adjust the GoPro camera on her helmet, only a slight shake to her voice betrays her – she looks every bit as hardcore as the experienced guides. And, through a little
trepidation, she launches off the lines, one after another, with growing confidence and even a few backbends. While Heerema points out that the adventure group hosts all ages from young kids to over 90-year-olds, zipliners must have two working arms and be able to move themselves between lines. For those with a phobia that doesn’t back down, there is an escape route, but it could mean a long hike down a steep hill. Which brings up the scariest part of the experience: The MOG. The military-grade all terrain vehicle takes tourists on a hairy, 10-minute ride up the private mountain that will become the entrance to the zipping experience. Even though the course is nestled in 100 acres of lush forest in the Sooke Hills, the coastal temperate rainforest, token old-growth trees and magnificent mountain and ocean views can get lost in the anticipation of what’s to come. What isn’t lost is the knowledge that, within the two-hour course, you will be riding at speeds of up to 60 kilometres an hour as you soar up to 150 feet off the ground on eight lines, ranging in length from 150 feet to an unforgettable 1,000 feet. Oh, and there’s a bonus suspension bridge thrown in there just to make sure you have ample opportunity to break your fear of heights – and tippy things. “What’s amazing is seeing the people who come to us with comments like ‘I’m really afraid of heights, is this safe for me?’ Of course it’s safe for you – it’s safe for everyone, but working that out in our brains can be the challenge,” says Heerema. My mom and I meet the climax of the course together – the 1,000-foot line that threatens to have you whizzing through the air for about 45 seconds. We exchange nervous glances on the slim pole balcony, take one last photo for good measure, and each, in turn, utter the magic word: ready. “Waaahooooo!” I hear my mom call as first she, and then I, disappear into the sky.

While there are a handful of places the air-inclined can zipline around the Island, gear is one of the most important elements of the adventure. While most places will provide all you need (and some require you use their supplies), here’s the rundown of what you’ll be wearing. • Hair tie (to hold back long locks) • Dome helmet (with optional GoPro camera) • Speed harness (that fastens around your waist and thighs) • Attachment cords (attach your harness to the line) • D-ring screw-lock carabiner (attaches cord to line) • Lanyard (for any loose cameras or gear)

omoko Inoue puts down a ball of dough and gives her hands a rest. She picks up a peel, the shovel-looking tool used to reach into ovens more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit, and moves burning wood from one side of the fire to the other. “The fire in (wood-burning) pizza ovens only burns on one side, but in the mornings I heat the oven with fire on both sides to get it going,” Inoue says. The pizzaiola is leading a team in preparation for a big day at Pizzeria Prima Strada’s Bridge Street location. They start by preparing 430 dough balls, 150 for the restaurant and 280 for the mobile oven, which, that day, was headed to Royal Athletic Park for Rifflandia.

hat a treasure we have in the Fairmont Empress Hotel. It’s iconic, not just for everyone that lives here but for the thousands of tourists who travel to Victoria with the intent to view this beautiful hotel. But does the Empress rest on its laurels – absolutely not! I have been to several events over the years but none that turned my head faster than Martinis and Magic. Now while I might quibble with the martini designation in which they lumped all the cocktails, it didn’t get in the way of enjoying their libations. And the pairings that went with the dinner, oh, let me wax poetic. My favourites include a Blackberry French 75 with Rocky Creek Blackberry Wine, Sumac Ridge Stellar’s Jay Sparkling and fresh blackberries unexpectedly worked with a locally and regionally sourced plate of seafood that was a stunning creation by new executive chef Morgan Wilson. The fourth of our six course pairing (including two desserts – God bless you, Empress) put a spin on the classic by using only Victoria Gin, lots of their house bitters and a twist of grapefruit. Fresh and clean it matched up with locally sourced olive crusted lamb. Julia Child knew her stuff, a favourite combo was gin and beef but I’d add gin and lamb to my list. To the folks from Victoria Spirits, you are one of the many reasons that shop local is the best idea yet.

Don’t just carve your pumpkin There they are. The leaves and vines have shriveled away to reveal the round, orange spheres that herald the arrival of Thanksgiving and of course, Halloween. As you drive the Pat Bay Highway north towards Sidney and Swartz Bay, coasting down the hill towards Islandview Road, glance right, and you can’t miss them. Fields full of hundreds of ripe, orange pumpkins right next to the Michell farm store. My wife likes to call these ‘free-range pumpkins,’ since many of them don’t seem to be attached to a plant from our distant view. I have a history with pumpkins. My dad used to plant about half-anacre of them in the back part of our large garden. In the fall I would climb onto our garden tractor with its little trailer, fill it up and pilot it down to the end of our driveway, where passers-by would stop and choose their Halloween pumpkins. Just 25 cents for a small pumpkin, 50 cents for a large one. One weekend I raked in a whole 30 dollars! I was rich, until my mom said, “Hand it over. That’s too much for you.” Oh well. Today pumpkins are still relatively inexpensive, especially when you take advantage of the whole

pumpkin. Just paint a face on your pumpkin for Halloween. Then you have all the flesh to use in recipes like pumpkin pie, pumpkin crème brulee, or savoury dishes like the one I learned in Italy, tortelli di zucca, little pockets of pasta dough stuffed with roast pumpkin sweetened with amaretti cookies and served with a robust sage butter sauce. Save the seeds too and roast them on a baking sheet in a hot oven with sea salt or maybe a little smoked paprika or spicy Organic Fair chili lime salt. Check around your local bakeries for pumpkin specials as well. In Cowichan Bay, True Grain Organic Bakery always makes a delicious pumpkin-shaped and flavoured challah bread and you’ll find a great pumpkin loaf at Victoria’s Ashcroft House Bed and Breakfast. Orange you glad it’s pumpkin time?

THE BAR
If you thought Victoria’s bar scene couldn’t get any hotter – that’s right – think again. From the slightly stirred, but never shaken, minds of world-class bartenders Shawn Soole and Nate Caudle comes the go-to guide for your cocktail experience, whether at home or in one of the many classy corners profiled in the pair’s new book, Cocktail Culture, recipes and techniques from behind the bar. Just the right size to hide under your bar towel, the 208-page tome provides the basics, from which glass to choose and how to garnish a beverage to recipes for the classics and some wild experimentations. With Soole and Caudle’s Little Jumbo restaurant, 506 Fort St., opening freshly under their belts and local foodies rejoicing (not to mention Tweeting those food pics) the launch of Cocktail Culture is perfectly timed. Along with the tempting recipes – Holy Hand Grenade, anyone? – the book profiles 23 Island bartenders, including four home bartenders and encourages you to share their passion. Released through TouchWood editions Oct. 1, Cocktail Culture is available at Ivy’s Bookshop, Bolen Books, Chapters and Munro’s.

Tracking a killer
Blackfish tells the story of captive orca Tilikum.
ROBERT MOYES arts@mondaymag.com
I
t’s not often that Victoria is associated with a notorious serial killer, but that disturbing fact comes up early in the American documentary Blackfish. This powerful film details the story of Tilikum, a captive Orca that for years has been a star attraction at
now has
SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida despite having killed three people. (Longtime locals will remember the tragic death in 1991 of trainer Keltie Byrne, who became Tilikum’s first victim when she slipped and fell into the whale pool at Oak Bay’s long-defunct Sealand of the Pacific.) That all these deaths have been grossly minimized and misrepresented to protect the family-friendly image of the hugely valuable SeaWorld brand is central to this film, which offers a harsh indictment of an industry that enslaves highly intelligent sea mammals – quite possibly driving them mad in the process. The core of the documentary involves a court case stemming from the death of Dawn Brancheau, a senior trainer at SeaWorld who was mauled by
Tilikum in 2010. Film director Gabriela Cowperthwaite approaches the subject gradually, introducing us to a half-dozen ex-trainers whose comments are intercut with the history of Orcas in captivity. Of course, Tilikum isn’t the real villain of this story. That would be SeaWorld, whose creepy management style is revealed in a damning anecdote about how Tilikum’s murderous history was well known to SeaWorld’s bosses, but kept a secret from the trainers who worked in dangerous proximity to the fiveton mammal. Blackfish eloquently portrays the charisma of Orcas and the bond between whale and trainer. “You form a very personal relationship,” says one, as we view incredible footage of wetsuit-clad

trainers hugging their charges on the “slideouts” at the edge of the pool, or doing stunts like riding on their backs. We learn that there are no recorded instances of Orcas attacking humans in the wild – and over 70 whale-trainer incidents that were either unscripted “rough play” or something much nastier that resulted in injury and sometimes death. Your heart may come close to stopping while watching footage of one such attack that goes on and on for two terrifying minutes. Ultimately, this is all about money – billions of dollars of it. Whether it’s how management initially tried to blame Brancheau for her own death – only backing off when eye witness statements directly contradicted them – or the callous ways they inflict profound emotional damage on Orcas by breeding them and then separating mother and calf, it is all too easy to recognize the deceit and bullying of a self-interested business with a fortune to lose.

small SCREEN KYLE WELLS We are in the thick of it now. Old favourites, new favourites, new most hateds, those moments where you ask: “What were they thinking?” Nearly everyday for the next month there is a litany of new shows premiering and survivors returning. Here are some which have caught my eye. Out of the bevy of new shows heading our way, Masters of Sex (Sept. 29, Movie Central) looks the most … interesting. The drama stars Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan as two researchers studying human sexuality in the 1950s. Not only do I love period dramas (hello, Mad Men) and the stars, but the show itself looks funny, compelling and, yes, sexy. This is one to look out for. Over on network television, Hostages (Sept. 23, CBS), starring the fabulous Toni Collette, and Dylan McDermott, has promise considering the talent involved and early buzz. The show, which will have a short run of 15 episodes (if all goes well), is about a doctor who must perform major surgery on the U.S. president, which seems stressful enough, but then her family is taken hostage and she is told to make sure the pres don’t make it. Talk about pressure. On the comedy end, for my money Malin Ackerman in Trophy Wife (Sept. 24, CTV, 9:30 p.m.) looks like the best bet for laughs. She plays a party girl who falls in love with a man with three children and two ex-wives. Watching Ackerman chug a water bottle full of vodka to cover for one of the teenage kids is enough to get me on board. And folks, seriously, let’s not forget Parks and Recreation starts up again on Sept. 26 (City, 8 p.m.). Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe may be leaving mid-season, but hopefully that just means more Tom Haverford. One more thing: maybe everybody knew about the show Rectify but me, but I recently discovered it on Netflix and the six-episode first season is truly top notch. The show, which is about a man released from death row after 20 years, is the first original series from Sundance Channel and there are promises of a second series. It’s not one Netflix splashes all over its home page, but if you get a chance, check it out.
Other Small Screen premiere picks:
The Blacklist - Sept. 23, Global, 10 p.m. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Sept. 24, CTV, 8 p.m. The Crazy Ones - Sept. 26, City, 9 p.m. Back in the Game - Sept. 27, City, 9:30 p.m. Hello Ladies - Sept. 29, HBO Canada, 10:30 p.m.

elping your kids choose their Halloween costumes can be just as fun as the freaky fashion show itself. Do they want to dress up as the Paper Bag Princess or the dragon? Or maybe they want to set their sights higher, and be an astronaut for one night.

AUTUMN ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR KITCHEN A TASTY DISH:
Borgioli platter, 179 ea. -At The Tuscan Kitchen
T
here’s something very comforting about fall cooking and baking. I think it’s just the warm, welcoming scents of comfort food and sharing enjoyable meals with loved ones. What I find makes my time in the kitchen a little more pleasurable is a nice glass of wine and some fun accessories for the season. Heirloom Linens in the Broadmead Village Shopping Centre has a wonderful new line of new kitchen accessories from Jamie Oliver, called Keep It Simple. These oven mitts, dish cloths, tea and terry towels, plus bar mops are fresh, fun, reasonably priced and available in orange, green, berry, grey and blue. I thought mixing and matching was the way to go – I just couldn’t decide on one colour!
Downtown at Haute Cuisine on Broad Street, there is a really fun selection of table top items for any fall dinner party, not just Thanksgiving. The turkey side plates and turning leaf 12-inch platter are a riot, I love the colours and whimsical design. The acorn pot is a candle that is ideal for holding preserves later. I think one at each end of the table is a perfect balance for a centerpiece with your platter in the middle. Under the platter, I often put a bed of dried autumn leaves. Haute Cusine also had great pumpkin side plates available in red, dijon, olive and pumpkin colours. I think my kids would love cinnamon toast on these plates – I know I would.

JO-ANN ROBERTS @allpointswestBC
WARMING UP TO AGING Here’s a news flash that never ceases to shock me – I’m getting older. I had a birthday last month. Let’s just say that I am closer to the end of my life now than I am to the beginning. And while my body is definitely getting older, somehow my brain doesn’t seem to have received the memo. Here’s what I mean. This happens to me on a fairly regular basis: I’ll be walking past a store window and I’ll actually wonder, “who is that middle-aged woman?” Then I’m stunned to discover it’s me. I know it isn’t logical but I am expecting to see the 30-yearold me, not the “50-something” me. In some ways these expectations are positive. They push me to stay healthy, to exercise and watch my weight. But they also can be destructive. Rather than celebrate the knowledge and success of my life so far,

I’m beating myself up because I’m not as flexible as I once was. I find it harder to lose weight, and thanks to hot flashes, I am not sleeping all that well. The good news is that on average we are living longer; but how valued are those longer lives in our youth-obsessed culture? Even Jane Fonda, who ruined my knees in the 1980s with her high-impact aerobics, is praised at age 75 for her “youthful sense of style” in a Versace dress. No mention of the kind of qualities that can only be acquired with time and experience … and a few wrinkles. So I’m fighting back. I am going to try new things because no one thinks at my age I have to be good at something I’ve never done before. I’m going to stop being so hard on myself. I wish I could go back and tell the 47-year-old me how great she looks, even
though I know I thought at the time I needed to lose weight. I am going to remind myself that I have raised four kids, held down a full time job, moved from one side of the country to the other and have been married for 32 years. I can handle whatever challenge is on my plate without all the anxiety. And rather than complain about growing old, I will remember I will never be as young as I am today.

What’s in the stars for october 2013 horoscope
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You need more sleep now because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year and the Sun is your source of energy. However, this placement of the Sun gives you have the best opportunity all year to learn more about yourself through your Georgia one-to-one encounters. Nicols Discover what needs they do or do not fill in your life. Consider how you fill others’ needs. (Regardless of affection, love or lust, relationships are also practical.) That’s why you have to be as good for your partner as he or she is for you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You’re gung ho to get organized. You want to be efficient, effective and productive. You want to feel you’re in control and managing your life. (How well can you kid yourself?) This is why you’ll strive to make every action count. Ironically, you will have to serve others and fulfill the needs of someone else. Nevertheless,

you’ll be pleased if you pull your act together. Naturally, this extends to your body, which is why you’re into exercise and eating healthier.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
It’s fun city! Make plans for a vacation because you need a change and want to have good time! Sports events, working with children and anything to do with the arts, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry will flourish. Romantic relationships will be lighter and more pleasant. Some could meet new love. And while you’re having fun, you also have an opportunity to become more aware of who you are. The wisdom of the ages says it’s about “Know thyself”. (Keep your ID handy.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your focus is on home, family and your private life. (Find your baby blue blanket and assume a fetal position.) Many will be more involved with a parent. You’ll enjoy being in familiar surroundings and trading lies with family members about the bad old days. What you want is a feeling of home – something solid, a refuge. And you’ll work to create this. And yes, George Burns was right, “Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.”.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
“Where’s the action?” This is your motto now as the pace of your life accelerates with short trips, to-ing and fro-ing, talking to many people, and perhaps a vacation. (A vacation would be perfect.) Your mind is alive and curious and, above all, you want a break from your daily, ho-hum routine. You’ll love talking to friends, neighbours and relatives as well as writing and reading. You can learn a lot about how you handle your daily relationships.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
It’s time to reflect on your values and what matters in life. When we think of our values, it’s
MONDAY MAGAZINE october 2013 mondaymag.com
easy to think about money and possessions, which has its place. (Especially if the posse is after you.) But money and possessions are about security and, to a lesser degree, comfort. You’re not your bank account. (You’re your car and where you eat.) Examine your relationship to money and your stuff. The whole point of having stuff is to have greater control of your life and to make life easier, right?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Happy birthday! Because the Sun is in your sign this month, it’s your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You are Numero Uno right now so enjoy it. The world will recognize this as well, which is why you will attract fortunate circumstances and important people to you. Make the most of this! You have a need to express yourself. Cut the false modesty and martyr bit. It’s all about you and your first duty is to yourself. “Garcon!”
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Now is the time to do some soul-searching. Seek out moments of solitude and look back over the last year. Give yourself a report card. How do things look? Are you happy with the picture? How do you want your life to be different because you will be entering a fresh new year in a month. (Your birthday.) In Eastern wisdom, it is said how a thing begins is how it unfolds. That’s why beginnings are important. Earl Nightingale said, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your dance card is full. Everyone wants to see your face! Enjoy this increased popularity and go with the flow. Join classes, clubs, groups and organizations. Call up old friends and make contact. The reason this is important is you’re going to study friendships and the role they play in your life. You will also do your best work by co-operating with others. Enjoy socializing but
also enjoy working with others. Team effort will pay off.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is the only time all year when the Sun is at high noon in your chart. Symbolically, this means you are in the limelight. Furthermore, this lighting is flattering, which is why people in authority and power are impressed with you. Naturally, they will approach you with increased responsibilities or requests for your help. Say yes because you don’t have to do anything special to dazzle them. Good lighting is everything. (Ask the anointed in Hollywood.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This month you want to broaden your horizons through travel, study, adventure, new and unfamiliar experiences, plus meeting people from different backgrounds. You’re eager and hungry to learn! Go back to school or take up a new hobby. One of the best ways to expand your world is through travel. If you can’t get away, then be a tourist in your own city. You will love heady, profound discussions about politics, religion, and what people think about Windows 8 or their hydro company.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Focus on debt, inheritances, shared property, insurance matters, taxes and all that red-tape stuff. You want more control of your life by sorting out past issues related to these areas. You will also have to deal with someone whose values are different from yours. This is never easy because you feel you’re right and they’re wrong – naturally. (They feel the same way about you.) Voltaire said, “Doubt is an uncomfortable position but certainty is absurd.” Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, sex will be hot and passionate!
