EDITOR’S NOTE

Bubbles of goodwill for Terry ernwood’s one and only Bubbleman Terry Wilson still has some sticky details to work out with his living situation, but thanks to one Fernwood business owner, food won’t be one of them. Wilson, 64, who makes his DANIELLE living by creating those magiPOPE cal bubbles you see around news@ Fernwood, was evicted from his mondaymag.com home last August, when a resident complained about his illegal RV set-up in a driveway. As Monday reported in the Aug. 25 issue, Wilson had to seek housing elsewhere, trading his $350-per-month rent for a $875-per-month savings dwindler. This past week, Aubergine Specialty Foods owner Leon Zetler has donated a $100-permonth food voucher to Wilson for a whole year, and challenges other local business owners to do the same. “Terry is a terrific lad, and a fixture of Fernwood, and we all want to see that he stays around. We have to look after the people in our community,” says Zetler. “I would challenge anyone who can to come forward and help him out.” Wilson, in typical fashion, says he’s uncomfortable with the idea of charity but hopes that he can find a way to help others with the generous donation. “I’m shaky around the idea of charity, because I get by just fine. But, if I can’t use everything, I’ll just give it away to other people,” says Wilson. “This is what you do for your family, and everyone is family here.”

THIS POEM DOESN’T COUNT? Victoria will be choosing its new poet laureate in a matter of weeks (applications close Oct. 7), but some artisans and spoken-word fans will be devastated to discover one of Victoria’s best-loved poets isn’t eligible. Victoria Slam Master Missie Peters — and any other poet who carves out a niche with spoken word and slam poetry — doesn’t count, according to the city’s guidelines, which declare the applicant must be a recognized poet with at least two published poems (and self-publishing is a no go). Peters, a legend in Victoria, has performed in countless competitions around the country and has hosted poetic events from Tongues of Fire slams to the Victoria Spoken Word Festival, to the historic Poetry in the Raw. She has self-published her poetry online (check out missiepeters.com), in wordform, recordings and YouTube videos. But as her website boldly states, “spoken word is meant to be heard.” “The world has changed since the Poet Laureate program was first launched in 2006 — iPhones allow users to carry HD cameras in their pockets, and the rise of social media has made online promotion vital,” says Peters, adding the rules are “restrictive and antiquated.” Peters and the Victoria Slam Team have started a petition on her Facebook page, asking for signatures to prove Victoria is ready to upgrade its poetic standards. “The role of the poet laureate is an honour bestowed on an accomplished poet and, to date, traditional publishing has been considered a valid element in that determination,” says city communi-

cations head Katie Josephson. “That said, times are changing and over the next term we will be reviewing the criteria ... to challenge ourselves to adapt to the changing definition of publishing.” Let’s hope it’s in time. Peter’s personal poetic project sums it up best: this is “Not Your Grandma’s Poetry.”

SHAKING THINGS UP, AGAIN For anyone who’s questioned whether or not they’re ready for The Big One, the Victoria Emergency Management Agency wants you to know there is plenty you can do to prepare for an earthquake. The group is hosting bi-weekly emergency preparedness workshops throughout the year, and will even come to private businesses to work out a plan. “I don’t like to see fear mongering; I like to see good information given to people that lets them know how much control you have,” says Rob Johns, emergency coordinator for the city. “You decide if your water tank is tied down, if that bookshelf is secure, if there’s a glass frame by your bed, or a ready-to-go bag by the door.” To register for an upcoming free workshop, call 250920-3373, or email vema@victoria.ca. If that’s not enough nerve-settling, local author Maggie Mooney just released her book, Are You Ready? How to Prepare for an Earthquake — A Four-Week Program to Help You and Your Family Survive. The 160page book is written Island-specific, and offers illustrated how-to’s for surviving that impending forecast.

NATURE: NOW MORE ACCESSIBLE To those looking to spruce up their walls with a little nature (especially in dreary fall weather), the Ancient Forest Alliance has a fundraiser to the rescue. The AFA Photo Show will be held today, Wednesday, Sept. 28, between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at a private penthouse suite downtown. For location details, call 250-896-4007. On display will be a collection of large and small prints, priced between $50 and $200. Featured images will range from Canada’s biggest trees to coastal landscape views and lush forest scenes, as well as new unreleased images from one of the most unique forests on Vancouver Island.

Don’t mourn the monster e are taught from a young age that death is to be respected — as though the simple act of drawing one’s last breath is capable of washing away a lifetime of misery and sin. Those who manage to escape the clutches of a dysfunctional family know this isn’t true, but even then the daggers of guilt emanating from those still trapped in the mire are difficult to avoid unscathed. GRANT But here’s some cold truth: we don’t have to mourn MCKENZIE the dead or dying if we can’t celebrate their life. Child killer Clifford Olson is dying of cancer. Good. editor@ I wrote a few weeks ago that cancer is a bastard, but in mondaymag.com this case it takes a bastard to rid the world of a monster. As a gentle, anti-death-penalty society, we couldn’t fast track Olson’s journey straight to hell where he belongs — but, fortunately, cancer doesn’t have the same qualms. It’s a gun-toting vigilante with rotten eyesight that targets good and evil with the same relentless and seemingly unstoppable abandon. When Olson dies — and I hope it’s soon — his body should be treated in much the same way as the U.S. handled Osama bin Laden. We don’t have to go to the expense of dumping his body in the ocean, though. A simple cremation, followed by his ashes being dumped in an unmarked garbage pile will do just fine. We don’t need a marker for he’s already left a scar upon our country that will never heal. A tombstone would be an insult to the grieving families of his victims. In Britain, they’re a bit more morbid when it comes to death. One of their favourite holidays is held every Nov. 5 when children gather old furniture and discarded wood to build a huge pyre; other children make a human form out of old clothes and newspaper, which they trot door-to-door and ask neighbours for money in order to buy fireworks. “Penny for the Guy,” they yell (although inflation may have changed the song in the years I’ve been away). Once the pyre is built and fireworks bought, the Guy is placed on the very top of the wooden pile. And with smiles on every face, the bonfire is lit and everyone cheers when the Guy catches fire and burns. The holiday is in celebration of the capture and execution of Guy Fawkes, the main fall guy for a group of 13 that plotted to destroy the British Houses of Parliament because King James I wasn’t too fond of Catholics. I was going to suggest that we form our own night of celebration to mark the day of Olson’s death, but I hate to think of his name having any connection to the sight of children laughing and smiling. Just as he doesn’t deserve a single shed tear, neither does he deserve a single smile. Let Olson’s death simply be a matter of public record and then give him exactly what he never wanted — to be ignored. M

Three cheers to the youth of Victoria that created a peaceful yet creative counterculture party in downtown Victoria!

for-profit medical clinics in question deserves full debate on the floor at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) annual convention. It has never been debated in the two years that Victoria and other councils have attempted to raise this critical issue. Canadians believe everyone should have equal access to health care. But the growth of for-profit medical clinics threatens the future of Medicare. As stewards of their communities, municipalities have a responsibility to protect public health care services on behalf of their residents. RACHEL TUTTE, BC HEALTH COALITION CO-CHAIR

KIERAN REPORT

Are you ready for an earthquake?

No silver bullets, just wishful thinking tripped of its hyperbole, Premier Christy Clark’s jobs manifesto can be boiled down to this telling disclaimer on page 4: “But we should be under no BRIAN illusions; there are KIERAN no silver bullets; no bkieran@ quick ﬁxes.” mondaymag.com Yes indeed, to find promise in the slogan “Canada Starts Here” requires a generous extrapolation of wishful thinking from a jobs strategy that is heavy on new committees, new directions and new projections, and light on hard hats. Generally, a government impacts job creation in three basic ways: it cuts business taxes; it cuts its own initiative-stifling red tape, and it puts shovels in the ground through infrastructure investments. However, B.C. is faced with three limiting realities: our tax regime is already as attractive as we can afford; we have been cutting red tape ineffectually for decades; and we have no fiscal wiggle room to underwrite a new generation of billion dollar infrastructure spending. These realities are amplified by the fact that the premier’s job plan ignores such factors as our embedded political schizophrenia regarding resource extraction, as well as pervasive and sophisticated envi-

Progressive candidates eye co-operation unicipal elections in the capital are ugly, vicious, hydra-like monsters. With 13 municipalities, three school districts, three electoral districts, and the CRD, my rough math gives us around 150 politicians running for ofﬁce every three years. New candidates have to meet and make SIMON nice with 150 people in a couple of months NATTRASS in the hopes of sidestepping border skirsnattrass@ mishes and greasing the wheels of regional mondaymag.com government, which can be hard to wrap your head around when you’re new to the game. That’s why Dogwood Initiative, the Community Social Planning Council, and Community Micro Lending decided to organize last week’s Regional Sustainability Coffee House. “Regionally, I think everyone has an interest in seeing progressive councillors succeed in the municipal election,” explained Dogwood’s Gordon O’Connor. For the organizers, the event was an opportunity to encourage progressive municipal candidates to co-operate across the CRD

and, ultimately, help each other get elected. The night focussed on five points: promoting sustainable livelihoods, food security, affordable housing, poverty reduction and energy/transit. At first blush, this sort of meeting would (and should) inspire panic in anyone not willing to associate the words “progressive” and “party line.” With whispers of a slate forming in opposition to the already solidified Dean Team, a meeting of progressive candidates conjures up flashbacks to the bad old days of No Slate? No Votes! Sitting in a room full of politicians representing, well, admittedly only about 65 per cent of the political spectrum (the far right was strangely absent), my initial worry gave way to a curiosity, which unfortunately remains unsatisfied. According to event organizers and several candidates, the night was a complete success. But that success is where the dissatisfaction part comes in. See, it’s no big deal when two average folks get together and talk politics; when politicians do the same, the tendency is to assume even passing words will have their consequences in public life. With no indication as yet of where, if anywhere, this meeting will take politics in our sleepy little town, we are left with only vicious speculation to occupy our time until November. M

Cast sparkles in Shining City

Part of your brain “lights up” when you experience beauty. It’s OK to leave the lights on.

THEATRE INCONNU PRESENTS THOUGHT-PROVOKING PERFORMANCE By Ryan Flaherty arts@mondaymag.com

n many ways, the small, intimate space that Theatre Inconnu calls home is the perfect setting for a play like Conor MacPherson’s Shining City. The proximity of the audience to the modestly appointed stage adds extra emphasis to the intensely personal parallel narratives that play out upon it, and one can’t help but be drawn into this simple, yet thoughtprovoking story. Graham MacDonald’s direction seems to nod to this esthetic, too. Though the characters don’t move around the stage a lot, when they do, they often find themselves in each other’s way — as much at odds with their surroundings as they are with their own problems. But the bulk of Shining City is told from a seated perspective, and with good reason. Ian, played by Michael Shewchuk, is a reformed priest who has left the church to pursue a career as a therapist. The stage serves as his office-cum-residence; a spartan space on the second floor of a Dublin building.

MONDAY GUIDE > FOOD

Corner store reinvented AUBERGINE OFFERS ONE-STOP SHOP By Courtney Bard arts@mondaymag.com

alk under Aubergine’s black-andwhite striped awning on Gladstone, Street and you’ll find local, pesticide-free and conventional produce, local meats and specialty foods — South African, gluten-free and Kosher to name a few. On most days, you’ll also find owner Leon Zetler behind the till. This tall, tanned South African came to Canada in 2000 and brought his passion for produce with him. “I’ve always been in the food business,” says Zetler. Not surprising, considering his parents’ background as farmers and their continuing strawberry and pepper farm in South Africa. His first foray into the Canadian food market was as an organic produce specialist for a company in Vancouver. Then he took on the role of produce broker for seven companies on the Island. “It’s not only doing sales,” says Zetler, “but ordering products from around the world, invoices … it was just too stressful.” So, Zetler left the brokering business and opened Aubergine

Specialty Foods’ first incarnation in Oak Bay in 2005. Business was great, but Zetler soon found that he was working six or more days a week. “Retail is a tough job,” says Zetler. “You’re a slave to your business.” So he took a break to spend more time with his family. But it wasn’t long before he had the itch to get back into the game. In September 2010, he opened Aubergine Specialty Foods’ doors again, this time in the heart of Fernwood. For Zetler, Aubergine is the corner store reinvented. In his 600-square-foot store, it’s all about affordable, high-quality options. “Customers want value for their money,” says Zetler. That’s why he goes to such great lengths to ensure quality. In the spring, Zetler visits the farms that supply his produce. When summer is in full swing, he’s at the farms daily to select the produce he wants on his shelves. When he’s not out at farms, he’s placing grocery orders for products from around the world, roasting coffee, and even mopping the floor. He does it all. M

Enjoy the beneﬁts of paying yourself ﬁrst Experience the freedom of having a ‘just-in-case’ fund Maria Contreras RBC Royal Bank Product Manager, Savings Accounts

Many of us put off saving because we associate it with sacriﬁce. But regular saving can actually be a uniquely satisfying experience. Paying ourselves ﬁrst, to have money to buy things we really need or want, means we enjoy those things all the more.

A little bit really does go a long way If you don’t think you’re in a position to save, consider how putting away even the smallest amount on a regular basis can add up quickly. Again, pay yourself ﬁrst! For example, saving just $25 a week adds up to $1,300 a year. That’s a nice chunk of change to have on hand should you suddenly decide you need a holiday or ﬁnd the latest gadget calling your name!

Getting Started Remember that saving is not about sacrifice. It’s about prioritizing. Start by taking a look at your previous bank statements to see where you’re spending your money. Ask yourself where you could easily trim and decide on an amount to reallocate for saving.

MONDAY GUIDE > THEATRE The darker side of the Melville Boys LANGHAM COURT KICKS OFF 2011/2012 SEASON By Mary Ellen Green arts@mondaymag.com

angham Court Theatre kicks off its 83rd season with a fresh look at a classic Canadian comedy. Tony Cain makes his directorial debut with Langham Court and The Melville Boys, written by Norm Foster in 1984, and he’s not afraid to bring out some of the darker elements of this lighthearted and comedic play. “People have said to me, ‘I’ve never seen the play be so dark,’ and I say ’look, this is 2011, not 1984, we’ve come a long way since then. We’ve had dramatic changes in society and our values,” says Cain. The play follows two brothers, Lee and Owen, who escape to a lakeside cabin for some relaxation and a good heart-to-heart. Owen has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and wants to tenderly encourage his younger and less mature brother to fill his shoes and take responsibility for the family.

When two sisters unexpectedly arrive, the quartet are thrown into a journey of self discovery. “So what could have been a happy little, cheerful comedy has underlying issues of very serious nature, coming from a 2011 point of view. The dark fringes come out a bit more. People in the audience will identify with the tragic circumstances of losing loved ones to cancer, and I felt I couldn’t ignore that. The comedy comes out in how the characters deal with what’s thrown at them,” says Cain. The Melville Boys will also be the first production with Langham Court for Robert Conway who plays Lee, Shara Campsall as Mary and Brittany Drew as Loretta. Ben Sutherland is returning as Owen Melville. Local artistic photographer Helga Hendricks will have her art on display in the lounge for the duration of the run, Sept. 28 to Oct. 15. She will be in attendance Sunday, Oct. 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. M Email your listing info to calendar@mondaymag.com or enter it online at mondaymag.com

OPENING

Having a gay old time COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET IN BEGINNERS By Robert Moyes arts@mondaymag.com

anada’s Christopher Plummer has had a dazzling 60year acting career, much of it on stage. But rather than coasting into a benign dotage, he has tackled some challenging roles during the last decade — especially in the movies. He played an acerbic version of newsman Mike Wallace in The Insider, then earned an Oscar nomination as Leo Tolstoy in 2009’s The Last Station. He is in particularly provocative form in Beginners where he plays Hal, a 70-something widower who, very late in life, not only sashays out of the closet but also takes a much younger man to be his lover. This comes as no little surprise to his son, Oliver (Ewan McGregor), who then gets a double whammy when his dad tells him that he is also terminally ill with cancer. Upping the angst factor even farther, Oliver turns out to be a serial relationship-wrecker who seems destined to trash his current love affair with a sexy and soulful French actress (Melanie Laurent). These events unfold in ellip-

tical fashion, with a narrative filled with flashbacks chronicling not only the last months of Hal’s life but also key scenes from Oliver’s childhood. Eventually we see the impact on Oliver of growing up in a family where the father is secretly gay and the mother suffers in confused semi-silence. If this premise seems weepily fraught, fear not — Beginners is easily one of the best films of the year. Funny, sad, thoughtful and suffused with humanity, this well-acted drama likely has a couple of Oscar nominations in its future. The non-linear storytelling, filled with dreamy recollections and memories, has a nice flow to it. And the excellent, emotionally coherent performances will keep viewers pulled into the film, even if the meaning of certain scenes isn’t immediately clear. That director Mike Mills (Thumbsucker) seems so surefooted amidst all these ambiguities can possibly be credited to the fact that Beginners is largely autobiographical. M

BEGINNERS +++½ Directed by Mike Mills Starring Christopher Plummer, Ewan McGregor R - 104 minutes Playing at UVic’s Cinecenta Friday and Saturday

DREAM HOUSE -(Capitol/ Westshore/Uni 4) This supernatural thriller stars real-life couple Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz as happily marrieds who move into the "perfect" home, only to realize that they and their children may be in danger because of a brutal crime that happened there years previously. Starts Fri. 50/50 -(Odeon/SilverCity/Caprice) Seth Rogen stars in an emo-comedy about a young man struggling with a cancer diagnosis that gives him a 50% chance of survival. Starts Fri. WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER? -(Odeon/SilverCity/Uni 4) That delightful neo-screwball comic Anna Faris stars in a raunchy chucklefest about a young woman who starts going backwards through her list of 20 previous lovers convinced that Mr. Perfect has somehow gone unrecognized. Starts Fri. BREAKAWAY -(SilverCity) The very funny Russell Peters stars in a very Canadian comedy about an IndoCanadian guy whose love of hockey makes him defy his tradition-minded parents. Starts Fri. COURAGEOUS -(SilverCity) Religionfocused Sherwood Pictures presents a drama about four police officers who confront a life-changing event that stirs an awakening of Christian consciousness. Starts Fri.

CONTINUING ABDUCTION -(Capitol/SilverCity/ Westshore) Twilight goth-stud Taylor Lautner stars in a universally derided thriller about a guy whose life spirals way out of control after he discovers his baby photo on a missing-persons website and makes the mistake of starting to investigate. ++++ CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS -(Odeon) The critics are purring about the new film from quirky cine-genius Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man). Using the "immersive" side of 3-D, Herzog has made a unique documentary about a newlydiscovered cave in France with walls covered with 30,000-year-old caveman art. This is an awe-inspiring delight.

+++ CONTAGION -(Capitol/ Westshore) Matt Damon and Kate Winslet star in an edgy bio-thriller about a bird flu pandemic that is trashing the planet (and killing off some fine actors along the way). Despite being directed by Steven Soderbergh, this is surprisingly flat, diffuse and uninvolving. +++ CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE -(Odeon) A nice but slightly sappy guy (Steve Carell) gets dumped by his wife (Julianne Moore) and looks to a young stud (Ryan Gosling) to get some tips on how to deal with women. Thanks to a great cast and a clever script this is a fine and very funny romantic comedy. Note: no shows from Monday through Thursday. +++½ THE DEBT -(Caprice) Helen Mirren heads up a great cast in a gripping and thoughtful espionage thriller about a trio of retired Mossad agents and the grubby truth about the deadly mission they have been celebrated for decades. With Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Chastain (Tree of Life). DOLPHIN TALE -(Capitol/SilverCity/ Westshore/Uni 4) This true-life story focuses on the friendship between a boy and a dolphin who was given a prosthetic tail. Starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd. +++½ DRIVE -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Caprice) Mother always warned me about style over substance, but when it comes to this gory, ultra-noir thriller about a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a wheelman for serious criminals it's hard not to succumb to its considerable charms. Starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan (An Education). ++½ THE HELP -(Odeon) This film exposes the genteel racism prevalent amongst upper-class white women in Mississippi of the 1960s. It's an interesting but uneven effort where a few great performances are stuck in the middle of what is essentially a misguided attempt to turn the civil rights movement into an uplifting feel-good comedy-drama. ++ KILLER ELITE -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) Despite fine stars like Robert De Niro, Clive Owen, and Jason Statham, this addled actioner about revenge assassinations involving brutal mercenaries and retired members of Britain's elite Special Air Service is disappointingly routine.

LION KING -(Capitol/SilverCity) The classic Disney animation from 1994 has been tweaked for its re-release in 3-D. ++++ MONEYBALL -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Westshore/Uni 4) Even people with no interest in sports (or sports movies) will enjoy this riveting account of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), an underdog who bucked the standard way of doing things and used computer analysis in search of a winning team. ++½ OUR IDIOT BROTHER -(Caprice) Paul Rudd stars in a slightly sour comedy about a naive man whose excessive idealism brings chaos into the flawed lives of his three sisters. THE SMURFS -(Caprice) A nasty wizard chases those cute blue blobs out of their magical medieval world and all the way to Manhattan.

++½ HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 -(8:00, Thurs.-Sat., & 7:00, Sun.-Wed.) The long-running fantasy series by JK Rowling comes to a disappointingly ho-hum climax as the plucky boy wizard has that deadly, longanticipated final confrontation with nostril-challenged supervillain Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

SCREENINGS MOVIE MONDAY - Screening The Beaver. Jodie Foster directs and co-stars in this drama starring disgraced actor Mel Gibson as an emotionally disturbed man who uses a hand puppet to communicate with the world he is profoundly alienated from. 6:30pm MONDAY in the 1900block Fort.

CINECENTA LEAVING THURS. +++½ THE WHISTLEBLOWER -(Odeon) +++ STRAW DOGS -(Odeon/ SilverCity) +++ RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES -(SilverCity/Westshore) APOLLO 18 -(Caprice) CONAN THE BARBARIAN -(Caprice) I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT -(Capitol/SilverCity)

IMAX BEAVERS -(10am, 1:00, 5:00; & 7:00, Thurs.-Sat). According to the ads, this is "the best dam movie" you'll ever see about that iconic Canadian animal with the beautiful buck teeth. ++++ BORN TO BE WILD -(11am, 3:00) Take a remarkable safari as this documentary takes you up close and personal with the people who nurture orphaned baby elephants and orangutans en route to re-releasing them into the wild. Narrated by Morgan Freeman. This is a great film! SEA–REX: JOURNEY TO A PREHISTORIC WORLD -(noon, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00) In this adventure travel back millions of years to when amazing sea monsters ruled the seas.

IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT -(Wed.-Thurs., Sept. 28-29: 7:10, 9:00) By all accounts this is a fascinating and fair-minded account of the criminal trial of an enviro-activist that explores all the complex moral and ethical questions surrounding how to manage -- or even just think about managing -- the planet's timber resources. +++½ BEGINNERS -(Fri.-Sat., Sept. 30, Oct. 1: 3:00, 7:00, 9:10) Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer are both great in a touching comedydrama about a young man who is shocked by two revelations from his dad: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has been a closeted gay who has just taken up with a much younger male lover. See review. ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW -(Fri.-Sat., Sept. 30-Oct. 1: 11:15pm) The timeless and warped cult classic invites you to: Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab. +++¼ KUNG FU PANDA 2 -(Sat.-Sun., Oct. 1-2: 1:00 matinee) It's sequel time and Po (Jack Black) joins forces with other kung fu masters to defeat a dire villain. Although the plot is pretty basic, the set design is both clever and gorgeous and the characters have heart. With voicings by Angelina Jolie, Gary Oldman and Seth Rogen.

CARDS OF THANKS

HEY YOU!

YOU PISSED ME OFF

TO KASRA, CHRISTINE, KIM, MOIRA & DANYAL Thank you Moira, Kim and Christine for coming to my aid, holding my hand, talking with me, calling the ambulance, contacting my daughter and staying with me when I fell on Thurlow Sept. 16th. Your willingness to interrupt your day to show sincere caring for a stranger touched me deeply. Little Kasra, I loved your sweet face looking down on me (yours too baby Danyal) and that offered to lend me your pillow from home if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d remember not to steal it. Bless you all. Judith

ADVOCATES FOR affordable housing. Join this coalition for affordable housing! Create new city by-laws that facilitate the necessary changes required to transition renters into owners. Create ownership oriented opportunities like CoOperative and Rent-to-Own. The policies of City Hall have created the housing crisis in Victoria which we all continue to pay for. To reverse it, we must grow this coalition of voters. We are already half way to our goal, but need 4000 more voters. A daunting task until you realize 7 out of 8 people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote for our present administration. Help create Regime Change in Victoria! SteveFilipovic@hotmail.com

How to beat Str8ts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These QHHG WR EH ÂżOOHG LQ ZLWK QXPEHUV WKDW complete a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are formed.

SEPTEMBER 29 - OCTOBER 5, 2011

BEST DEAL IN TOWN VISIT US

The secret of life is to look good at a distance s life fair? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not all created equal in terms of wealth and talent. (Although each of us has 24 hours a day -- rich or poor -- which is an equalizer because time is the stuff life is made of. Right?) But in astrology, an element of fairness does exist because lucky Jupiter is always â&#x20AC;&#x153;somewhereâ&#x20AC;? in our chart. Even when the chips are down, we are never completely deserted by good fortune. This week, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at where our good fortune is, because the paralysis of the negative can grip us so strongly, we can forget opportunities exit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.â&#x20AC;? (Ah yes, Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words go hand-in-hand with what I believe: The secret of life is to look good at a distance.)

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Those of you who are born later in your sign can still feel a lovely influence from Jupiter, which is boosting your confidence. Yay! This continues to be a fortunate time for you because people, and favourable circumstances and resources are attracted to you. Make the most of this! In the next year, Jupiter will boost your income (for most), or at least bring you better job opportunities or chances to earn money on the side. The next 18 months will make you feel richer and more affluent, even if you end up paying for the goodies and treasures you get. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I look swell?â&#x20AC;?

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 Lucky Jupiter is in your sign now and will continue to stay there until next spring. This is a marvelous opportunity for you that comes along only once every 12 years. For starters, it signals the beginning of a new 12-year cycle of growth for you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for you to discover what your potential is, and what you can really accomplish. No need to second-guess yourself or hide your talents. Expect to meet others who will help you in the year ahead. Many of you will explore your spiritual values and discover big answers to big questions. (Actually, Douglas Adams found the answer to everything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 42.)

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 This is a curious time for you because unusual circumstances and events might trigger self-scrutiny, introspection and the exploration of spiritual ideas. (This is pretty heady stuff.) To be more specific, your capacity to learn and explore is increasing. Actually, this is true learning, as opposed to filling yourself with data. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been filling myself with

GEORGIA NICOLS

so much data I had to let out a pleat in my shower curtain.) What will be classic for you in the next six months (or recently), is to find a spiritual teacher or mentor. In turn, some of you will play this role for others. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the study of metaphysics or different religions will appeal to you now. Amen.

CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 Almost all Cancers are friendly and folksy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a feeler. You chat with others long enough to get a feel for who they are. This means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about that matters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bond. Expect to be doing a lot of this in the next year, because according to your chart youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be popular! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join groups, clubs and organizations and schmooze with others far more than you have in the last 10 years. The good news is, your associations with others will benefit you! People will be supportive and helpful. In fact, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find that whatever you put out comes back to you multiplied.

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 Early Leos (born in July) will start to feel their careers taking off. (People are starting to sit up and take notice.) Leos born in August are enjoying chances to travel and maximize opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. You are really out there with your colours flying! Fascinating experiences will prompt you to drop or modify old prejudices and beliefs. You might also be more involved with foreign people or foreign places. Soak up whatever you can because your reputation is going to shine in the next two years, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna love it!

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 Life is good for you right now because lucky, moneybags Jupiter is in Taurus, which is an Earth sign. And you are an Earth sign. This means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the same wavelength with this fortunate influence. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I read you. Bear taking pictures. Roger that.â&#x20AC;?) The result is your life may feel easier in many respects for the next nine months. However, instead of just relaxing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use this fortuitous influence

to your advantage. Make your surroundings more elegant. Spend money in a way that makes you feel good. Enjoy travel opportunities. Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be tolerant of others, people will appreciate you more. Be open to new cultures, new faces and new places. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 10-10 on the side.â&#x20AC;?)

LIBRA SEPT 23-OCT 22 This is a financially beneficial time because now, and in the next year (could vary by months for some), you will benefit from the wealth and resources of others. In other words, your partner is going to earn more! Some of you will inherit. Others will get money back from the government. All of you will be blessed through shared property and the chance to use things that others own. (Your best friend has a cottage at the beach or a chalet in the mountains.) This is a gravy train coming your way! In addition, your sex drive will increase in a fun, playful way. This is all part of a seven-year program to reinvent the New You. Time to buy a new wardrobe!

SCORPIO OCT 3-NOV 21 For the first time in 12 years, lucky Jupiter is dancing directly opposite your sign. (This is new.) Actually, this is a wonderfully positive influence! To begin with, it beautifully blesses partnerships and close friendships and will continue to do so for the next year. You also feel confident and successful about something. You might feel ready to expand in some way. Many of you will treat yourself to goodies and be self-indulgent! You feel you deserve these rewards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a sense of turning the corner on something. You know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been slowly building for increased recognition, and now you sense that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the right road. The process is beginning. (Whew!) And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right again, because it is.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 For various reasons, most Sagittarians are going to improve their health in the next year. (It just seems to be a good idea.) In fact, many of you will be able to heal or recover from something because your health is so strong. The only downside could be weight gain due to overindulgence. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moi?â&#x20AC;? Yes, you.) Your year ahead is fabulous for any kind of work that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, especially your job. You can get a better job, or better duties, or a raise, or praise or your horrible boss will be transferred to Timbuktu. (For those of you

in Timbuktu who might be reading this column â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your horrible boss will be transferred to Ottawa.)

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 Well, as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said for years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your hour has finally come! (And to think, oh fickle reader, you doubted me.) Not only will your name be up in lights in a fantastically positive way, during the next few years, in this immediate year, you will also party, enjoy vacations and explore fabulous opportunities with love and romance. In other words â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have it all! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the Big Winner. Plan a vacation in the next nine months â&#x20AC;&#x201C; definitely. Kick up your heels and have fun because you deserve it. You worked hard for your success and this time of harvest has finally arrived. So take a bow and give yourself some perks. (Assured boarding is on the left.)

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 Heads up. Once every 12 years, each sign gets a wonderful opportunity to explore chances to improve their home or to improve their pocketbook through real estate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your turn. This means in the next year, all real-estate dealings will favour you. Whether you buy property for financial speculation or for your own use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy you did so. You will also be happy about any investment you make in your own home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; renovations, re-decorating or major purchases for yourself or for a family member. Everything to do with home and family will be a source of joy, and many will expand your family through marriage, birth or adoption. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got a Golden Retriever named Charlie!â&#x20AC;?)

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 Your mind creates your world. Why? First comes the thought, and from the thought springs the deed. The deed soon becomes habit, and habit eventually hardens into character. This is why we must watch our thoughts so carefully. We become our thoughts! The good news for Pisces is that in the next nine months, your thoughts will be positive, expansive, joyful and â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigâ&#x20AC;? in every sense of the word. Your optimism will grow and you will personally experience the power of positive thinking! (This is not something corny â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the real deal.) Relations with siblings will improve. Short trips and communications with everyone (including writing and studying) will make you happy! Gosh.

Drains to the Ocean. Oil, grease and sediments simply do not belong in our streams, creeks or the ocean. Devices such as parking lot catch basins help collect these wastes, preventing them from entering our waterways. To make sure these devices work properly, they need to be cleaned out on a regular basis by having the accumulated waste “trucked” off-site for disposal. It is best to do this before the seasonal rains start, to prevent any potential ﬂooding.

To ﬁnd out more about catch basin maintenance, and to ﬁnd a service provider, visit www.crd.bc.ca/catchbasins or call 250.360.3030.
