Get excited: it’s election time hen it comes to leaping head first into the thrills of municipal elections, we all know Victoria isn’t famous for its voter fervor. Still, with a little luck, some people are trying to change that. DANIELLE Cue UVic’s Lansdowne POPE Professor of Social Policy news@ Michael J. Prince who will be mondaymag.com part of an expert panel on Oct. 15 regarding the upcoming municipal election. The community public forum, titled “The Future is Local: Make Your Vote Count Now!� takes place from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Michele Pujol room of UVic’s Student Union Building. The event is sponsored by the Saanich Civic League, a non-profit organization formed in 2008 in response to the low voter turnout in the municipality’s 2005 civic election. Saanich voter turnout was the fifth lowest in B.C. that year, at 19 per cent. “I will be outlining the importance of the municipal government to communities and the value of civic involvement in building strong neighbourhoods,� says Prince, an award-winning scholar and community leader in the area of governance, social policy and civic engagement. Here’s hoping his words inspire the remaining 81 per cent to come out and have a voice. For more information visit saanichcivicleague.ca.

EXPECT A RADICAL DAY With Oct. 15 marking the day of world-wide solidarity with the Occupy Together Movement, it’s little coincidence that infamous anti-authoritarian activist Chris Dixon is coming to town to share a few tips from his days on the trail. Dixon, a longtime activist, writer and educator

Island mental health advocate Laurel Hounslow has committed to dyeing a strip of her hair blue for every $1,000 she raises for suicide education and prevention.
While UVic is trying to get people excited for the election, it looks like they have more enthusiasm than they bargained for in other campus matters.
who recently received his PhD from the University of California, was a core organizer for the protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle 1999, and knows a thing or two about staging mass demonstrations. Dixon, who resides in Sudbury, Ont., is coming to Victoria to give his talk “Reinventing Radicalism: Contemporary Anti-Authoritarian Activism in North America� this Thursday, Oct. 13, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at UVic’s David Strong Building, C128. “Justice is coming� according to the tagline in Dixon’s talk. He is currently completing a book based on interviews with anti-authoritarian organizers across the U.S. and Canada, and is an active member of the board of the Institute for Anarchist Studies and the advisory board for the journal Upping the Anti.
SPEAKING OF MENTAL HEALTH While it’s easy to overlook with all the other hubbub around the city this time of year, this past week marked Mental Illness Awareness Week in Canada. In part celebration, part personal initiative, Laurel Hounslow, a Vancouver Island woman, has committed to dye her hair from grey to blue in an effort to raise funds and awareness for mental illness and suicide prevention. She plans on keeping her blue ’do for the “Going Blue 4 U campaign� — until she earns her goal of $4,000. For every $1,000 she snags, she and Calgary teammate Lee Horbachewski will dye a chunk of their hair blue. So far, Hounslow is one chunk in. “When my daughter suffered postpartum depression it was devastating for all of us, especially for her and her husband,� says Hounslow. “Before that, many mental health issues had escaped my notice. Now I’m raising awareness . . . and hope to raise some money for the cause on the way.� Hounslow got the idea from her daughter, who also lives in Victoria, who committed to dyeing her hair for a similar cause in September.

EDITOR’S NOTE
Occupy Victoria needs focus he trouble with revolution is that no one pays attention unless the message is clear. Occupy Victoria’s message isn’t. When you break down what the organizers of this locally proposed massive sit-in are saying, their protest signs will read: “Something is wrong; we can’t agree on what, we don’t have any solutions, but we want it to change.� Try honking your horn to that. The most successful revolutions in recent history GRANT have all had a solid, easy-to-understand goal. Beginning MCKENZIE in the mid to late 1800s, in both the U.S. and the U.K., women took to the street to lobby for change to the editor@ electoral system. The message: “Give women the vote.� mondaymag.com In the U.S., the Suffragettes won their fight in 1920, and the U.K. followed in 1921. In the 1950s and ’60s, the American Civil Rights Movement had a clear aim to outlaw racial discrimination against African Americans and to restore voting rights in Southern states. The message was crystal clear: “Equality for all.� This message was delivered by boycotts, sit-ins, marches, nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. Similar tactics were used to protest the war in Vietnam when students and anti-conscription activists across the U.S. chanted, “Hell no, we won’t go� and “Make love, not war.� This particular protest was so on message that it could be summed up by a single sticker stuck to the back of a VW van — the tie-dyed peace symbol. Now that’s clarity. This year, things turned violent when hundreds of thousands of Egyptians marched with the singular message to oust President Hosni Mubarak from office. When Mubarak stepped down, the protests stopped. If Occupy Victoria wants to be taken seriously, it needs to become a force for positive change. Without direction, the youth of today are going to become known as “Generation Whine� rather than “Generation Y.� How do you make that change? Start with one topic and work up from there. Youth is a strong, important and valuable voting block. Apathy at the polls makes your concerns easy to dismiss — but with barely 50 per cent of the adult population voting in government elections, it’s simple to hijack. If, for example, the plight of Victoria’s underprivilged is an issue that you really care about, then why not gather all of that passion and voting power and put a candidate that shares your concerns, such as homeless advocate Rose Henry, onto city council. You have the power to do that. All it takes is organization, clear direction and the ability to follow through. Camping out in Centennial Square does absolutely nothing to create positive change. It’s not a revolution. It’s a party. You have a chance to make a real difference in this world, and I for one would love to see you not piss it all away. M

Families edge closer to living on street nadvertently revealing the province’s level of commitment to helping B.C.’s most vulnerable populations, the Ministry of Energy and Mines has declared this week Homelessness Action Week. While you might be wondering why the basics of food and shelter are lumped in with hydro dams and big holes in the ground, this week Burnside Gorge Housing OutSIMON reach worker Tory Kincross has some more NATTRASS immediate concerns. snattrass@ Kincross and her colleagues work with mondaymag.com hundreds of homeless and at-risk families in the capital whose lives, by and large, have not been improving. Faced with increasingly scattered services, smaller food hampers and a rising cost of living, a growing number of families in need are finding themselves closer than ever to the street. This struggle plays out daily in hundreds of homes across the capital, but the truly astounding part is that we just don’t notice it. “Whether it’s because of families themselves not wanting to present the image of being in need, or whether it’s the fact that we’re not tripping over these people on the streets, nobody

really wants to talk about the issue,” says Kincross. The cause here is almost routine for most of us — renters, politicians, the Victoria Vital Signs survey, and common sense all confirm that the cost of living in the capital gleefully defies reason — and the effect, says Kincross, is equally predictable. When you can afford either rent or food, too often the only real choice is the one that keeps a roof over your head. “This is a symptom of the huge issue of affordable housing and sustainable income,” says Kincross. For her, the solution is to place money into the hands of families and help them to control their own lives rather than perpetually relying on emergency services. “It’s about can we stabilize housing and particularly the cost of housing for people,” agrees Victoria Councilor Chris Coleman, who stresses the need for long-term and transition housing over more short-term solutions. “You can’t solve profound housing and homelessness issues with snappy quotes, because all you get are short-term, one-week solutions. We’re looking for systemic change.” Perhaps the solution has something to do with offering families help before they make it to the street, or maybe not just stuffing them under whatever ministry has space left over at the end of the day.

lot of us dream of becoming superheroes. While ideas of X-ray vision, super-human strength, sprouting webs or wings might be a little out of reach, one University of Victoria professor says, scientifically, there’s at least a little superhero in all of us. “It can be frustrating to see how many people don’t realize how the body actually works, but as soon as you make reference to a cultural icon we can identify with, like Batman, we start to really think about how he got there,” says Dr. E. Paul Zehr, a professor of neuroscience and director of the Centre for Biomedical Research at UVic. In fact, Zehr has spent a lot of his doctoral career thinking about how Batman became the superhero we all know and love. He penned his first book, Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero, in 2008. This September, he released his second, Inventing Iron Man: The Possibility of a Human Machine. Because Batman and other characters like Iron Man started as plain humans, Zehr took a special interest in sleuthing out the myths and realities behind the masked avengers. “Considering what happens to the body along the way raises the bar for our own potential, and for pushing ourselves that extra bit, whether physically or mentally,” says Zehr, who will be giving a public lecture on his theories Thursday, Oct. 20. “It all comes down to how the human body works — it adapts to what we ask of it.” Zehr uses the example of someone learning to play guitar. First, calluses start to form. The more you practice, the harder they become so your fingers don’t experience the pain. Zehr emphasizes this is why any exercise or training has to be started gradually, so the body has time to catch up. “The body responds to whatever stress it’s under. We often think of stress with bad connotations these days, but we can

When it comes to superhero myths, however, Zehr says the biggest one is the idea that someone can be the best at everything they do. “In order to achieve that superhero status, one of the first principals is that you have to be good at a lot of things, and that’s totally attainable,” he says. “But the idea that you’ll be the best runner, the best swimmer, the best jumper — you only have to look as far as Olympic athletes to see that the ‘best’ in any sport is shaped and adapted to perfectly suit that fitness.” So while Batman might not win an Olympic medal in anything, he can still fully outrun — or at least outsmart — a crook. Which brings us to the second principle of superherodom: mind control. Specifically, your own. “In order to push your body the way you need to, you have to have a goal beyond what’s in front of you,” says Zehr. “If we jump on that treadmill to ‘lose weight’ then we’re going to get bored and get off. But if we want to lose weight, we have to have some deeper meaning that keeps us on. Maybe we search out a sport we love and focus on that passion, maybe we think about an outfit we want to wear more than anything else.” In an age where we don’t have to chase our food or run from predators, or even battle crime hands-on, Zehr says we have very little crucial motivation to stay healthy. In fact, we want to keep things easy. Zehr himself has been practicing

martial arts for 30 years and has three black belts. But it’s only his love of the sport — and the personal meaning he attaches to it — that keeps him coming back. Another principal of the superhero comes mentally, but this time in the form of restraint. One of the chapters in Zehr’s first book is, “Can you KO without killing?” In order to practice a chosen activity, we actually have to keep our emotions out of it in order to get good. “It can be really hard to take on an emotionally-challenging sport and convince our body we have no emotional connection, but that’s actually what we have to do,” says Zehr. “It’s like in golf when you see someone make a bad shot. The good player will move on and keep golfing. The poor player will worry and obsess, and you’ll see that person’s shots get progressively worse until they can’t even putt close range.” Because different parts of the brain are triggered when we experience emotions, the mind can actually become too “cluttered” to perform the simplest tasks, says Zehr — this is something superheroes have no trouble with, of course, at least until their damsels are in distress. Zehr, who originally hails from Ontario, has a wife and two children. He has been a comic book fan since he was a kid, and says he always had an interest in superheroes. He was thrilled when the movie resurgence of old characters struck a few years ago. In fact, that’s what got him thinking: in order to make body function interesting to a mass audience, he’d have to start with the books he’d want to read. With the success of his first scientific read, he decided the world was ready for another — this time using modern-day technology to deconstruct how Iron Man creates his suit of armor. “It’s ‘the joy of effort’ that we’re all missing these days,” Zehr says. “We forget that there’s real pleasure in just doing something — anything — and even in surprising ourselves. You never know what you’re capable of until you try.” M

Making the most out of your savings How to put away money when you have multiple goals Maria Contreras RBC Royal Bank Product Manager, Savings Accounts
These are the sorts of questions you need to ask when evaluating your spending. The answers will show you where you can start saving money. Even if all you can shave off your spending is $25 a week, that’s still $25 a week you could be saving. Over the course of a year, saving $25 a week will add up to $1,300 a year.
These days, the demands on our finances are All your savings goals, one convenient account ever-growing. We’re paying for conveniences Now let’s look at how one simple savings account such as smart phones, on-demand TV and can help you achieve multiple goals. Say you want to-go coffees that were unheard of a to save for a holiday, a home entertainment system, generation ago. So it’s understandable that and put money away just in case. First, using the many of us feel overwhelmed and often avoid questions above, decide how much you can afford taking a long, hard look at our spending. to save each week. Second, prioritize your savings But we shouldn’t use this as goals and allocate what an excuse not to save.

Are you incurring avoidable or unnecessary expenses? Are you regularly purchasing impulse items you could easily live without, or perhaps you’ve got a direct debit for a gym membership you rarely use? Do you pay more for things, just for the sake of convenience? Maybe you buy groceries on-the-fly from corner stores, rather than making a point of doing a weekly shop.
Once you’ve established how much you can save and how you want to allocate those savings, open a dedicated savings account and set up memorized, automatic transfers. Most people find a payday transfer easiest because they don’t notice the money leaving their account. Once you’ve got this established, all that’s left to do is watch your balance grow and look forward to realizing your goals! And there is nothing more convenient, or rewarding, than being able to pay for the things you want in cash, and in full.

Flying Dutchman soars PACIFIC OPERA VICTORIA REVIEW By Mary Ellen Green arts@mondaymag.com
ighteenth century folklore comes alive in Pacific Opera Victoria’s production of Richard Wagner’s haunting masterpiece, The Flying Dutchman (German with English surtitles). Making his debut in the title role, John Fanning delivers a commanding performance as the mysterious Dutchman who carries a curse and is doomed to sail the seven seas until he can find redemption through the love of a faithful woman. Fanning’s broad stature and chilly expression are well suited to the ghostly character, who is only permitted to go ashore in search of a wife every seven years. His ship comes alongside that of a Norwegian sailor, Daland (played by bass baritone Gary Relyea), and his crew while his ship is taking refuge from a storm. He tempts the sailor with a bounty for a night’s stay at his home just a few miles away. Oh, and his daughter’s hand in marriage. The greedy sailor accepts the trade and the south wind blows to push them home. The Victoria Symphony, directed
E
by conductor Timothy Vernon, is another character in the cast of more than 50. The recurring themes are masterfully performed, culminating with gale force horns and crashing timpanis. The set, too minimal and confusing at times, comes alive in the second act as the rope factory is draped in a mechanical steampunk style. Crystal clear soprano Joni Henson makes her POV debut as Senta, Daland’s daughter, who is enthralled with the sad, pale Dutchman. This wouldn’t be a musical drama without a love triangle; enter Erik (Tenor Robert Kunzli in his POV debut), Senta’s suitor. When the Dutchman overhears Erik begging Senta to concede she professed her love to him, he decides to admit to the curse and to defeat and set sail for another seven years. In sorrow, Senta throws herself into the ocean, proving her devotion and breaking the curse, and the two rise to redemption. At just under three hours, the three-act opera is well performed, but the story line grows tiresome and is drawn out with repetition. M

Life changing theatre THE BELFRY PRESENTS AND SLOWLY BEAUTY... By Mary Ellen Green arts@mondaymag.com
he Belfry proves theatre can change lives with the English language premiere of And Slowly Beauty… by Michael Nadeau (translated by Maureen Labonte). It begins with Mr. Mann (played with a gentle confidence by Dennis Fitzgerald). He’s a hardworking loyal husband, father and employee who goes through the motions everyday, putting on the same suit, the same tie, the same motivational speech as if there’s not much more to life than paying your dues to The Man. Then one day it all changes. Mr. Mann wins tickets to the theatre and takes the chance to do something different — after all his realtor wife and two adult children are busy with lives of their own, and he’s tired of spending endless hours alone in front of the television, just going through the motions. The play within the play, Three Sisters by Anton Chekov, changes his life forever. He begins rethinking and reflecting on his every decision, leaving him wondering about the meaning of life and what decisions he’d make if he could do it all again (read: midlife crisis). The themes of Chekov’s classic meander through the play as the characters search for meaning in this modern world. The set, with its clean simple lines, is amazingly adaptable, changing from a bedroom to a kitchen (with a working fridge hidden in plain sight), to an office building, a café and even a theatre with only the incredibly fluid movement of a few simple props. The five supporting cast members (all members of the National Arts Centre English Theatre Acting Company, including local actress, Celine

Stubel), move seamlessly from one scene and from one character to another with amazing versatility, each masterfully playing multiple rolls. Mann goes back to see the play over and over, even buying a copy of the script and uncharacteristically playing hooky to enjoy it at his favourite café. All the while, life is swirling around him, days pass and people rush past him on the street to the staccato beat of the amazing score by Brooke Maxwell. And Slowly Beauty… reminds us to take a closer look at the delicacy and grace that every day holds. It made me want to appreciate the unique snowflake that I am and fly away like the geese — even if I don’t know the destination. It made me want to play hooky from work and sit reading my favourite play in my favourite coffee shop, and flirt with my favourite server. It made me want to take a closer look at the seemingly unimportant things in life and to note the details that make them so special and find a way to simply be happy. M

Clooney enters political race, but plot is unconvincing STRONG ACTING AND RYAN GOSLING CARRY SMART LOOK AT HOW U.S. POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS ARE RUN By Robert Moyes arts@mondaymag.com
here is a long tradition of politically themed movies out of Hollywood, from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to the more cynical, Clinton-flavoured Primary Colors. It was inevitable that George Clooney would enter this cinematic race, and his ominously titled The Ides of March combines Obama “change we can believe in” rhetoric with the rat-like machinations of Machiavelli. Not content just to direct and co-author the script, Clooney also stars as Mike Morris, a sitting governor who is running in the Democratic presidential primaries. The charismatic Morris, a bold idealist who champions progressive liberal ideas, is in a critical battle to win Iowa. But he is up against a tough opponent in a close fight, and both men are desperate to get the endorsement of Ohio’s Senator Thompson (Jeffrey Wright). Morris has a small army of foot soldiers led by two
T
PERFECTLY POTABLE Win or lose, you have to imagine a presidential candidate imbibing scotch, straight up. Single malt is the way to go, but which of several hundred distilleries to choose from? Macallan, with its hints of buttery toffee, is as elegant as a Rolls Royce. However, if your taste buds like a bold spanking, hop over to the Isle of Islay, where the malts reek with iodine, seaweed, and peat smoke. Try a posh Bruichladdich if you can afford it, or there’s always the Bowmore 12-year-old (and what Scot doesn’t like a bargain?)
men: campaign manager Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and a whip-smart strategist named Stephen Myers (Canada’s Ryan Gosling). Myers, young and almost painfully idealistic, is a true believer when it comes to Morris. Zara, a campaign veteran, respects their candidate, but is wise enough to know that ultimately he’s just another politician. With that as the setup, it’s no surprise when Myers learns that his hero has feet of clay. Soon after he finds himself in the middle of underhanded campaign infighting that will challenge every-
thing he believes in – including his own moral code. Ides is very smart about how political campaigns are run, from the day-to-day strategizing to the courting of the media, from the challenge of getting their candidate’s message out, to deflating or deflecting the posturing of their opponent. Where Ides falls short is with its predictable and unconvincing plot, which ultimately collapses in on itself and offers clichés we can’t believe in. Although not as compelling as the earlier Clooneydirected dramas Syriana and Good Night And Good Luck, this is a feast of fine acting. Hoffman is always fantastic, and here he’s nicely paired against another great character actor, Paul Giamatti, who plays the campaign manager for Morris’s arch rival. Oscar winner Marisa Tomei is fine as a hard-nosed reporter. Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler, Across the Universe) adds nuance to the role of the vulnerable campaign intern. And Clooney, unsurprisingly, embodies charm and gravitas. But this is ultimately Gosling’s film, and he carries it with a harrowing intensity. M

FILM & CINEMA CALENDAR OPENING THE THING -This is the third iteration of this classic "creature feature" made even more terrifying by its isolated locale at a research station in Antarctica. Starts Fri. FOOTLOOSE -The hormone-stirring anarchy of dancing to good ol' rock 'n' roll is banned in one small town -- until a rebellious city kid arrives on the scene and decides to shake things up. Starts Fri. THE BIG YEAR -Three very different bird watchers compete ruthlessly in a prestigious annual ornithological event. What looks like a featherbrained comedy stars Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black. Starts Fri.
CONTINUING 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. ++++ 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. COURAGEOUS -(SilverCity) Religion-focused Sherwood Pictures presents a drama about four police officers who confront a life-changing event that stirs an awakening of Christian consciousness. DOLPHIN TALE -(Capitol/SilverCity/ Westshore) 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. 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.

+++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 50/50 -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Caprice) Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) stars in an engaging and very funny emo-comedy about a young man struggling with a cancer diagnosis that gives him a 50% chance of survival. ++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. +++ THE IDES OF MARCH -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore/Uni 4) The new political drama directed by and starring George Clooney features a morally flawed presidential candidate and an idealistic campaign strategist (Ryan Gosling) who learns that even nice guys play dirty politics. Co-starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. See review. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT -(Caprice) Sarah Jessica Parker stars as a do-it-all wife/mother/ professional woman who eventually hits a breaking point with her crazy life and its too-many demands. With Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammer. This one has been getting hammered by even the pushover critics. ++ KILLER ELITE -(Odeon/ 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.
MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS -(Caprice) Jim Carrey stars in an amiably goofy comedy about an uptight businessman who learns to unwind when his fancy Manhattan apartment gets invaded by a flock of cute penguins. ++½ REAL STEEL -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Westshore) Hugh Jackman is an over-the-hill pugilist (and deadbeat dad in recovery) in a slightly futuristic world where "robot boxing" is the globe's most popular sport. Uneven, overly long but certainly entertaining. +++ RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES -(Caprice) James Franco stars in a thoughtful reboot of this classic sci-fi series about war between mankind and intelligent apes. In this origins story set in the present day, a medical experiment gets out of hand . . . and some very pissed-off apes get out of the lab. SPY KIDS 4: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD -(Caprice) More pint-sized espionage shenanigans. ++ WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER? -(Odeon/SilverCity/Uni 4) That endearing neo-screwball comic Anna Faris stars in a disappointingly flabby and derivative comedy about a young woman who starts going backwards through her list of 20 previous lovers convinced that Mr. Perfect has somehow gone unrecognized.

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.

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 didn’t vote for our present administration. Help create Regime Change in Victoria! SteveFilipovic@hotmail.com

HOROSCOPE >
OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2011
The last time Uranus was in Aries was 1935
A
ll Signs: The planet Uranus (rebellion against tyranny) was in Aries from 1760 to 1769, the beginnings of the American Revolution. It returned to Aries in 1843 – 1851, when China had the Taiping Rebellion (25 million killed), and the US had the US Dred Scott decision, the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the stirrings of founding the Republican Party. The last time Uranus was in Aries was from 1927 to 1935 -- with the American Tax Revolt plus rebellions in China, Arabia, Brazil, Turkey and Nicaragua. After a three month visit last summer, Uranus returned to Aries in April to stay until 2019. Now we have revolutionary upheavals in the Middle East plus middle-class revolutions like the Tea Party movement -- or the emerging Occupy Wall Street movement, which is sweeping the US and Canada in over 100 cities. Note: Uranus is the energy behind unions, Amnesty International and Green Peace. It is the gathering together of like-minds to demand reform. (I think this is why my family is getting militant about wanting food in the fridge. Sheesh! Enuff awreddy.) I fear this is the end of pizza as we know it.
ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 What does Uranus mean for Aries? Bingo! This is big stuff for your sign because Uranus is in your sign for the first time since the 1930s. In the decade ahead, you’ll experience the strongest drive for freedom you have ever felt. You’ll start to define yourself differently. Others might be appalled at the changes you start to exhibit. You’ll explore new ways of being and relating to others. You’ll even change your image and wardrobe. All this reflects your desire to be distinctly you. You’ll give up old patterns, habits and ways of doing things. “Who cares?” “So what?” Your drive for independence will be scary strong. You want to kick free the restraints and limitations imposed by others -- and even by yourself. “Be gone!”
TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 What does Uranus mean for Taurus? Well, it will be an interesting ride in the next decade because Uranus is traveling through the part of your chart that rules the unconscious. This part also rules “hidden enemies.” (Spooky.) But hey – the unconscious is the tail wagging the dog. Your uncon-
scious affects your behavior, whether you’re aware of it or not. Uranus will make you challenge your core-beliefs and your hidden fears. It will “open you GEORGIA up.” It might NICOLS also make you suddenly realize who you can trust and who you can’t. Whatever you have suppressed from your conscious mind might suddenly come to you like an epiphany. This will all unfold over the next decade. The end result? You will be more free!
GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 What does Uranus mean for Gemini? New and unusual friends! You’ll find yourself increasingly hanging out with a new crowd. (Possibly a crowd you once laughed at or dismissed.) (“The suits? No way.”) You might join classes, groups and clubs to explore exciting, fresh ideas. You’ll be attracted to groups espousing revolutionary ideals. Conversely, you might become disenchanted with the values and methods of friends and groups, especially if they’re conservative. No matter who you hang out with, you will feel a stronger need to express your individuality. You will resist any kind of peer pressure. Expect to meet a fascinating bunch of people!
CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 What does Uranus mean for Cancer? It means your relationships with authority figures will undergo huge changes in the next decade. (We’re talking bosses, parents, teachers, VIPS and the police.) If you feel repressed, you’ll rebel. But you’re also on precarious ground with respect to your reputation and profession. You might act out and fall from grace. (Oh no.) Or you might be suddenly promoted. (Could be anything.) Many will dramatically change their job or field of operation. New technology might woo you into new territory. Definitely get out of
unhappy, dead-end jobs on your own terms or it might happen when you have no control. Be gutsy.
understands your demands for more freedom or a different arrangement. And vice versa! (“Whaat? You want to stay at my mother’s?”)
LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 What does Uranus mean for Leo? This will be an exciting ride because the areas Uranus will shake up involve adventure and learning, so it will be a decade of exciting growth. Expect sudden opportunities to travel and study. One thing is certain: Down with Dogma! Rigid political and religious views will radically change. If you resist this shift or identify strongly with your beliefs, you could experience disillusionment. Legal encounters are dicey and full of surprises. (Oh, oh.) Unexpected breakthroughs (or set-backs) with publishing, higher education and medicine are possible. You will want to explore new ideas and beliefs and ways of being. Cool!
SCORPIO OCT 3-NOV 21 What does Uranus mean for Scorpio? In the next few years, your big spurts of growth will be work related. For starters, many of you will take the courageous leap to self-employment. For sure, if you’re unhappy in your job or you feel oppressed, you will quit or challenge the authority above you. Others will change their attitudes to their work or become increasingly more involved in technology. But there is also an aspect that is health-related. You might explore something high-tech that affects your health. Or you might find if you ignore the desire to get out of a bad job – this will radically affect your health! (A serious warning to consider.)
VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 What does Uranus mean for Virgo? More than other signs, you will be aware that an old order is passing away to make room for something new, especially in terms of your financial arrangements in the world. You will refuse to be dictated to by “strings attached” arrangements. You want your independence in practical terms. Work to be financially independent. Where you are dependent on others might be vulnerable to sudden change. Sudden changes in your partner’s income are possible. Your sex life might change as well. (Whaaat?) You might become involved with someone “different” who broadens your experiences in every way. (“Is it warm in here?”)
LIBRA SEPT 23-OCT 22 What does Uranus mean for Libra? The next decade is full of changes because Uranus is opposite your sign for the first time in your life. Partnerships that are restrictive will buckle because you’ll refuse to be hemmed in. Many will break up. For you this means freedom. Your feisty attitude could trigger conflict with others as well. It’s a fact that healthy relationships constantly evolve as the people within them change. If you go with this flow – all is fine. But if you resist these changes –the results will be dramatic. You need a partner who
Wellness
SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 What does Uranus mean for Sagittarius? The lives of many Sagittarians will be changed through children. This can be anything from surprise pregnancies to sudden changes in the lives of your children. Nevertheless, this is an exciting decade for you. Many of you will take up new sports, discover new amusements and go to thrilling places for vacations. (Lucky you – you love to travel!) Romance will definitely be electrified. You might find yourself falling in and out of love very suddenly. (Especially with people who are “different.”) In addition, many of you will explore new techniques for expressing creative talents and discovering fresh, new designs for your work. This is the real deal!
CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19
For sure, family relationships that restrict you or make you feel imprisoned or beholden and obligated beyond your comfort level will end or undergo major readjustments. You ain’t gonna be nobody’s doormat no more.
AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 What does Uranus mean for Aquarius? You’re no stranger to the energy of Uranus because this is your ruling planet. This is why Aquarians are independent activists, whistleblowers and strong reformers. (You unique types are all alike.) You’ll notice the daily tempo of your life will accelerate – not in a steady way but in an erratic way! Suddenly you’re here, then suddenly you’re gone. Impulsive short trips and increasing interactions with science, technology, astrology and the occult are likely, because your everyday mental attitudes will change. In fact, your everyday world will change as well. Lots of excitement ahead!
PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 What does Uranus mean for Pisces? Uranus rules earthquakes, explosions and all things unpredictable. This element of unpredictability will impact your earnings, your possessions and your job in the next decade. Some will quit their day jobs. Some will strike out for self-employment. Others will get involved with technology and new, digital media. But at a deeper level, your values will radically change. You want to break through limitations – be they material possessions you feel are weighing you down, or values that no longer serve your purpose. Some of you will experience windfalls or sudden losses. Stay light on your feet for opportunities that could change your life.
What does Uranus mean for Capricorn? Your home scene and important matters with family relationships will undergo revolutionary changes in the next decade. Many of you will change your residence. Others will undergo changes within the dynamics of your family or your relationships to parents. Many of you will also introduce lots of new, high technology into your personal lives or your homes.

Avoid mucous-forming foods:
•
Eat lightly and simply. Broths and soups are perfect choices. Incorporate root vegetables like parsnips, winter squash, turnips, onions and leeks along with hardy greens like kale, mustard greens, cabbage and parsley to get plenty of Vitamins A & C (immune system champions).
•
Fresh ginger tea
•
Raw garlic This pungent root is strongly anti-microbial, not to mention warming and dispersing. Try chewing a clove or two a day, sliced or grated and taken in a teaspoon of honey.
•
Sweat it out! This is literally how a hot bath or shower works: pathogenic factors are released to the exterior and prevented from advancing internally. Try taking your ginger tea or garlic before a bath, then covering up in blankets to prolong sweating afterwards (along with plenty of fluids).
•
“Warming socks treatment” Try this at the first sign of any congestion in the sinuses, ears, throat or lungs. Before bed: start with warm feet; wet a pair of cotton socks with cool or cold water, wring out thoroughly, and put on your feet; cover with thick wool socks and go to bed. The wet cotton socks should be dry in the morning and your congestion considerably eased!

A time-honoured remedy that warms and promotes circulation and sweating. Also, fresh lemon squeezed into hot water is a great decongestant. Raw honey, which has immune-boosting properties and helps dry dampness, can be added to either in small amounts.
