EDITOR’S NOTE

City asks for owner obedience og owners beware: Mr. Poodles can’t roam as he wishes around all of Beacon Hill Park and the Dallas Road pathway anymore — well, he never could, but it appears you weren’t listening, at least until now.

DANIELLE In an effort to “balance the POPE needs of all users of the pathway news@ and park,” the City of Victoria is mondaymag.com initiating an additional Animal Control Bylaw presence during summer evenings and weekends in the Beacon Hill and Dallas Road area to educate dog owners, ensure they have close supervision of their dogs and that they carry a leash at all times.

Parks manager David Speed says no rules will be changing at this time, but after a number of complaints surrounding the multi-use areas, the city’s efforts will focus on awareness of the rules that already exist. Within Beacon Hill Park, for example, dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed in the Heronry at Good Acre Lake, at the Children’s Petting Zoo or at playgrounds in the park.

Signs are posted reminding users of these rules, and ignoring them comes with a hefty swat: dog owners can face fines ranging from $100 to $300.

“Off-leash regulations are in place to prevent dogs from running uncontrolled along the pathway, bumping into people causing injury; and to protect wildlife in the park from being chased, such as peacocks, squirrels and deer that make Beacon Hill Park their home,” according to the city.

Increased patrols will continue until the end of September, when the area is most popular. All dogs are required to be licensed, of course, and, with the exception of designated off-leash areas and private property, all dogs must be leashed at all times in the city.

A BANQUET OF RISK MANAGEMENT What could taste better this June-uary than a barbecue with a side of big business? Perhaps serving it to 750 people living in poverty on a memorable day.

This Thursday, June 21, Our Place Society is partnering with global insurance brokerage Aon to provide an outdoor barbecue serving up hot dogs, hamburgers, salad, ice cream and refreshments for almost 1,000 people without homes. Thursday also marks National Aboriginal Day, and Our Place will celebrate with drumming events and live entertainment. If that wasn’t enough, those poking around early will be treated to a 7 a.m. special breakfast of pancakes and sausages at Our Place, compliments of the United Way. “We’re thrilled that Aon has decided to use our facility to give back to the community by engaging with people who are homeless or living in poverty,” says Don Evans, executive director of Our Place.

“When an organization comes to Our Place to give back, the whole community benefits.”

Why the big-business match-up? Aon, which specializes in risk management, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and was looking to create a

Stricter leash laws will be a costly reminder to owners.

global day of community service. On June 21, Aon colleagues around the world will contribute 25,000 volunteer hours to local charities. Our Place is also receiving new shelving units built by Aon staff.

“We wanted to do something hands-on, providing food for people who really need it,” says Kris Charmley, Aon’s Victoria branch manager. “Our Place Society has a stellar reputation for supporting Victoria’s most vulnerable citizens, so there was no question that we would direct our efforts to this very worthy organization.”

Now, if we could convince summer to get on board.

DINNER DISCOURSE AT CITY HALL Speaking of barbecues, if you weren’t around Victoria City Hall last Thursday, June 14, you might have missed the 150 people gathered in front to protest the social profiling and discrimination that the Vancouver Island Public Interest Resource Group says has defined most interactions between Victoria Police and the capital’s homeless community.

Inside city hall, an impressive list of speakers advocated for reforms including the creation of a municipal anti-discrimination policy and the elimination of the chattel bylaw and sections of the streets and traffic bylaw that greatly impact marginalized people. Ideally, council would have heard from those members of Victoria’s street community, but many of those voices went unheard at the end of the night.

“The challenge,” according to VIPIRG’s Gordon O’Connor, “is to get the street community in to speak to council in the first place.”

While VIPIRG collected a number of forms from members of the crowd who wanted to address council, the city requires residents to submit their requests the morning before the meeting. City councillor Lisa Helps put forward a motion to allow late submissions, but it was defeated 5-4, with councillors Marianne Alto, Chris Coleman, Ben Isitt and Helps voting in favour and the rest against.

Looks like council’s preference for efficient meetings over meaningful discourse is painfully apparent. M – Simon Nattrass

Poverty still sucks ood news for those who are suffering below the poverty line — turns out, some of your friends managed to get better jobs, or leave the province, or, well . . . err, died.

The latest Statistics Canada report (shh, don’t tell anyone that it takes this stellar organization two years to compile their numbers, which means they are totally useless when they arrive) that everyone loves to twist to fit their own agenda is out and B.C. has clawed GRANT itself out of the gutter to post impressive child poverty MCKENZIE results. Turns out, the number of children living below poverty in our province dropped from 11.8 per cent in editor@ 2009 to 10.5 per cent in 2010. mondaymag.com That means, wait for it, we’re no longer the worst province in Canada. Take that, Manitoba — we’re No. 2 . . . well, actually, number two from the bottom, but still, hey, for eight consecutive years we held the loser’s crown of being the worst. In 2010, we only had 87,000 children struggling to get by, which is just slightly more than the entire population of the city of Victoria.

But wait, there’s more.

The poverty rate for people of all ages in B.C. also fell slightly from 12 per cent in 2009 to 11.5 per cent in 2010. But, sorry, don’t cheer too loud, it was still the worst poverty rate in Canada, which means we earn that loser’s tinfoil crown for the 12th consecutive year.

StatsCan uses the following figures to determine poverty: a family of four in a city of 500,000 or more, earning $35,469 or less; a single parent with one child, earning $22,831 or less in a large city. In 2010, a parent working full-time at B.C.’s $8-per-hour minimum wage would have earned $15,600, or $7,231 below the poverty line.

Naturally, not everyone is celebrating (especially if they can’t afford the paper hats and sparkling apple juice.) Adrienne Montani, provincial coordinator of First Call: BC Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition, for example, says these results show, “the need for a comprehensive anti-poverty program in British Columbia, supported by every political party. Poverty is costing children their health and limiting their ability to reach their full potential.”

While I agree with Montani in spirit — how can you not? — I worry about the pressure that B.C. taxpayers are continually coming under as earning more money doesn’t necessary equate to having any extra to give back. Poverty, social assistance and addiction support should be a national burden rather than a provincial one. One of the main reasons that we tend to have a larger percentage of poor, homeless and addicts has more to do with our mild climate than any great failing of our province. We need to look at all Canadians as a national pool with resources and funding divided where it’s needed most.

This shouldn’t be B.C.’s burden to carry alone. M

Pipelines are bad projects

730 Caledonia Ave. 19+ 250-382-5853

Re: Kieran Report Endless dithering is not an option, June 14 - 20 Mr. Kieran's take on Christy Clark's “endless dithering” misses the point. The pipelines are, first and foremost, incredibly bad projects for Canada, for B.C., and for the environment.

There are no environmental assessments for Northern Gateway that give it a recommendation.

It is an insult to our First Nations peoples whose land and lifestyle it will destroy. It is insane to allow the pipeline oil spills into our rivers and tanker wrecks along our coastline knowing the devastating effects on our fishing industry, tourism industry and quality of life that this project promises. Most spills are simply never cleaned up. Christy Clark's dithering on this issue is one of the few bright marks of her administration.

DOUGLAS ROY, DEPUTY LEADER, GREEN PARTY OF B.C.

Monday good for the mind For some reason back in 2007, following some trauma in my

life, I was in a group session for a number of weeks and we were asked every Friday to read Monday Magazine cover to cover to help us get out of our painful depression with a good check on reality. I never understood it at the time, but have to tell you I'm a convert. Your voice of focus on the reality of life works.

I believe researchbased journalism is

the best way toward freedom from things getting worse. My story on the bus pass challenge is a good example of how a small thing like a $45 bus pass can lead to a crisis if the solution is avoided or ignored or excused by stupid rules that people make on our behalf as so-called government.

We are over policed and over governed.

Socially excluded, vul-

nerable people need a voice, and Monday Magazine is that voice. I can tell you that (because of your article) two people whom I met, but do not know well, gave me bus tickets to see me through the week toward pension day. I am now able to go to my doctor visit. Thank you for your awesome work.

STREET SMARTS How have microbreweries changed the beer industry?

KIERAN REPORT

Still (cash) crazy after all these years oneyswilling politicians a n d over-indulging boozers have one thing in common; their hangovers can be unforgivBRIAN ing.

KIERAN The Liberals bkieran@ should have learned mondaymag.com that lesson a decade ago when they sold BC Rail to CN for cash and tax breaks worth maybe $1 billion. In the process of applying expensive lipstick to their fiscal pig, the government abandoned a valuable public asset that promised to be an engine of Hinterland economic prosperity if managed with vision and energy on behalf of taxpayers.

Refusing to be schooled by that stillsmouldering fiasco, the Liberals are about to privatize another valuable public asset, the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB), in order to briefly deflate the size of the operating deficit.

Ten years after BC Rail, the tune is so familiar: Still (cash) crazy after all these years. During a typically rancorous question period in the legislature this spring,

M

NDP MLA Shane Simpson (VancouverHastings) tried to get to the heart of the government’s ill-conceived and rushed decision to butcher the LDB cash cow.

Simpson wanted Energy, Mines (& Liquor) Minister Rich Coleman to explain the implications of a Business in Vancouver story that quoted from an internal memo making the rounds at Exel Logistics, a major global player in the world of liquor distribution.

The memo, Simpson told the House, had been penned by Exel vice-president Scott Lyons. It discussed Exel’s desire to get the LDB privatization contract by direct award and, when that could not be achieved, its determination to use “their strong relationship with the minister to influence the writing of the RFP (request for proposals).”

This “strong relationship” refers to the alleged influence of former Exel lobbyist and Liberal insider Pat Kinsella.

Coleman, a veteran Liberal ward boss who has rarely been out of sight of the booze file, sprang to his feet. “That question I can only categorize as the most demeaning, insulting and disgusting question I’ve heard relative to the public service of British Columbia since I’ve been here in 16 years,” he blustered.

To borrow from Shakespeare: Minister thou doth protest too much. The notion of Coleman being the valiant defender of the

They’ve brought the art back into being a brewer, and have turned beer classy.

honour of the public service is laughable.

Here’s the deal: The LDB currently generates an annual profit for taxpayers in the neighbourhood of $900 million. But Finance Minister Kevin Falcon wants to offload “non-strategic surplus assets” including B.C.’s monopoly on wholesale liquor distribution to reduce the operating deficit.

He glosses over the fact that B.C.’s total accumulated debt is $52 billion and will skyrocket another $6 billion this year.

Somewhat after the fact, the government has appointed a fairness monitor “to oversee the procurement and evaluation process” and has hastily issued the RFP. However, it has refused to consult with stakeholders and it has failed to produce a business plan to justify the sale.

Many industry and consumer voices have raised the alarm about turning the people’s liquor distribution monopoly over to a private multi-national corporation.

BC Craft Brewers Guild chairman Tod Melnyk says brewers are “concerned that this initiative appears to replicate the Alberta liquor distribution model where there have been significant issues. The potential increase in pricing, which will impact consumer spending ... is also of utmost concern.”

All I can say is that when it comes to managing our assets this gang needs a designated driver. M

CITY WATCHDOG

‘Bylaws need to catch up with city policy’ ill Goodson has been many things, among them an electrician, a teacher, and — since health concerns limited her ability to work — The Capital’s one and only shoe shiner. Dreamed up as a way to supplement her meager disability benefits, Goodson’s most recent career move was stalled as she ran afoul of the City of Victoria, whose poliSIMON cy on buskers and street vendors doesn’t inNATTRASS clude shoe shiners, or anyone else offering snattrass@ a service other than entertainment, operatmondaymag.com ing in the public sphere.

“There is a huge demand for it, and the public is completely behind me,” says Goodson as she relates the story of her many attempts to reason with bylaw officers, city officials, and most recently Victoria city council.

I happened to walk past during one such attempt to convince bylaw enforcement to change their tune; I watched while passersby voiced their support, leaning out of car windows to shout encouragement — even the bylaw officers seemed less than enthused as they delivered their written warning.

J

It seems like it won’t be long before Goodson can safely ply her trade at her favourite spot on the 700 block of Fort Street.

The city’s own policy states that council supports the use of public space for small-scale entrepreneurship and economic development, and Coun. Lisa Helps says she will be asking council to reconsider the bylaw responsible for Goodson’s woes.

“The city’s bylaws need to catch up with the city’s policy, plain and simple,” says Helps.

The street vendors bylaw and others like it are symptoms of a deeper problem here in The Capital. This is not a simple case of outdated bylaws. As Goodson points out, “50 years ago we had shoe-shiners on every corner.”

Somewhere in our recent history, it became standard fare for councils in the Garden City to dream up regulations for every square inch in service to some Victorian-era ideal of aesthetic perfection, one that doesn’t include riff-raff buffing shoes on the street corner.

Thankfully, this experience seems to indicate that the folks currently occupying city hall may be looking to pry open the iron grip of the past that’s currently squeezing creativity and imagination into the basements and alleyways of our city. If so, they have a long fight ahead of them. M

when it comes to design he lets me do what I want for the most part. He’s easy to please, but then again, I know what he wants,” he says with a laugh.

“The art on the label is the consumer’s door to the product if they don’t already know the brand or the brewery. After you open it, it’s the product that sells them. Luckily, I feel fortunate that both work together really well. My label brings them in, but it’s the beer that brings them back.”

And the management agrees.

“A lot of what the art brings to the beer is the culture of the brewery,” says Matt Lockhart, communications and events coordinator at Phillips Brewing Company. “Who we are really informs the styles of the beer and how we approach making beer, and it only makes sense to extend that culture to the look or the branding of the beer. It’s the same personality expressed in a different way.”

Right from the get go, Hoyne knew what he wanted to see on his 650ml bomber labels. “The entire idea is to have fun and be imaginative. Our message is that the quality of the beer is always of the highest priority but we’re not pretentious — we want to have fun and to portray that with our marketing.”

Hoyne hired designers Caleb Beyers and Hanahlie Beise of Caste Design Projects to design his labels.

“Each of the labels have a bit of a story to them,” says Hoyne, who always keeps a notepad in his breast pocket. “I dream up the names, I have a bit of an idea of what I want the imagery to look like, then we chat, usually over a beer, and Caleb will do some pencil sketches. We select one that has potential and we work towards it. We have lots of laughs along the way, we scrutinize details, we get it to where we’re all very happy with it. Every detail is important, but I will also defer to people who have expertise or perhaps a different opinion.”

Hoyne’s Down Easy Pale Ale depicts people tubing down the Cowichan River (sans beer due to liquor control’s input), the Big Bock has some cock implied (for the same reason) and the Devil’s Dream IPA was named for the first tune his daughter learned to play on the violin while training with Daniel Lapp.

HOYNE BREWING

LIGHTHOUSE BREWING

Hoyne Brewing might seem like the new kid on the brewing block, but dig a little deeper and it’s clear that brewmaster Sean Hoyne is one of the pioneers of the local scene.

The avid homebrewer with degrees in sciences and creative writing applied to apprentice under craft-brewing pioneer Frank Appleton. “I brought a six-pack of my beers and recipes to the interview and we sat together, drank beer, talked literature, became good friends . . . and I learned a lot of the professional craft under him.”

While studying under Appleton, the two set up Swan’s brewery in 1989. Almost L-R: Gillian Dolding, Robin Connelly and 10 years later, Sean Hoyne tip a glass at Hoyne Brewing.

Hoyne founded the brewery at Canoe Brewpub where he stayed for 13 years before leaving to start his own brewery.

Now that he gets to make all the decisions, he’s having fun with it and not taking anything too seriously.

“Let’s face it, we’re making beer here, not ammo,” he says with a laugh.

“We’ve been using local artists since we launched our Big Flavour series just over a year ago,” says John Fitterer, sales and marketing manager at Lighthouse B r e w i n g Michelle Landry designed this week's Monday Company. cover and some labels for Lighthouse Brewing.

“Since then, we’ve dealt with six or seven local artists.”

Among the group is Michelle Landry, who created this week’s beer-themed Monday cover.

Over the last year, Landry has designed four bomber labels (Belgian White, Belgian Black, Dark Chocolate Porter and Uncharted IPA) and two six-packs (Switchback IPA and Tasman Ale) for Lighthouse. Other local artists who’ve worked for Lighthouse include Ken Faulks (Shipwrecked), Marty Machacek (Navigator), tattooist Ryan Tree (Deckhand) and Eliska Gachinha of EFOX (Overboard).

ictoria’s craft breweries employ artisans to hand-craft some of the best brews around, but that philosophy goes further than their beers — they’re making their labels (and more) with the same principles.

V

PHILLIPS BREWING Tucked in the back lot of Phillips Brewing Co. sits a sea can chock-full of art supplies. This is the “Imaginarium,” or “Part D’Artment” — home to Russell Papp and Chris Dobell, two of three artists employed by Phillips.

While Papp and Dobell don’t create labels, they’re in charge of another face of MARY ELLEN GREEN Phillips — crafting custom creative centrepieces arts@mondaymag.com like the “Gypsy Wagon,” a 36-foot gypsy caravan-inspired refrigerated trailer with 32 beer taps that was the focal point of last year’s Rifflandia beer garden.

They also create customdesigned signage for Phillips’ clients and other promotional materials.

“When a customer sells a certain number of kegs, they get L-R: Russell Papp, Shawn O'Keefe and Chris credit from our depar tment,” Dobell make up the "Part D'Artment." says Dobell.

“Russ and I will create custom, personalized, hand-painted signage for their establishments instead of something made by a machine.”

“I’m in charge of everything that’s three-dimensional,” says Papp. “And I do the painting,” adds Dobell.

Walk into almost any pub in town and it’s easy to spot Papp and Dobell’s work. The signs have a distinct appearance, blending traditional sign-painting with contemporary and street-art style.

“It can be so rewarding to take a piece of wood and turn it into a piece of art,” says Dobell. “It’s keeping the craft alive.”

The third member of the Phillips “Part D’Artment” is Shawn O’Keefe, the graphic designer and illustrator responsible for designing Phillips’ labels since the company began brewing 10 years ago.

“I would guess I’ve designed at least 75 labels,” says O’Keefe, who works on contract but spends around four days a week at the brewery.

“When it comes to the labels, there’s tons of artistic freedom. Matt (Phillips) has a vision for certain projects, but

raft-toria. It’s every beer lover’s delight, and not exactly where you expect to raise a glass of Buck-A-Beer — or is it?

Despite the overflow of Victoria’s microbrew culture, no-name brewskies and mass-produced ales still find their spot on liquor store shelves around town. And while their popularity is stumbling, locals prove there is still room in our glass for them, at least for now. But when it comes to making the decision between quality and price, beer experts are seeing a trend that has surprised many: even some of the city’s youngest and stingiest drinkers are selecting local craft beer when it counts.

“The days of Labatt Blue are over.

DANIELLE POPE Literally, we have a whole Labatt generation dying out, and now we news@mondaymag.com see these 19-year-olds come in, and they are buying Phillips and Driftwood,” says Lon Sheehan, the Strath Liquor Store’s beer specialist. “The real difference between ‘craft’ versus ‘crap’ beer for me, though, is not whether it was made by a mega or micro brewery — it’s whether they used craft ingredients or not.”

When it comes to those ingredients, Sheehan points out that there are only four main components in beer: water, malt, hops and yeast.

Germany, for example, has a 500-year-old law about what can really count as beer. Budweiser, on the other hand, has been known to use corn syrup.

Location matters, too. Stella in Belgium is an entirely different drink, ingredients-wise, than the Stella we buy in Canada, Sheehan says. And each brew-popular country has its own cap on part of the market: Belgium specializes in yeast, the U.K. in malt, the Pacific Northwest in hops and Germany has mastered the balance.

Even mass producers can’t drink away the knowledge that craft is where it’s at. In 2011, Sheehan reports, mega market beer sales were down 10 per cent, while craft sales had risen 10 per cent. At the Strath Liquor Store, 60 per cent of sales and fridge space is dedicated to craft brews, with mid-class beers scoring 25 per cent and the cheapies filling up just 15 per cent.

Producers’ tactics to deal with this, however, are mixed: fold, resign into the “value beer” market, join the craft industry, or at least make it look that way. For example, Labatt has managed to harness the cheap beer niche in sales, says Sheehan. Meanwhile, Molson’s Richard’s White, a mid-class beer in Canada, is rebottled into “craft shape” and re-labelled as Blue Moon in the U.S., where it DANIELLE POPE sits alongside craft brews.

Sometimes, it's about price.

“What we’re seeing from these companies, like Coors, is that they are starting to tailor their products to people who don’t really like beer,” says Sheehan. “We’ve got ice teas and berry mixes and ‘refreshment beverages’ because they know they’ve lost the market. They can’t come up with the product that real beer drinkers are looking for.”

So who is still buying the cheap cans? More people than you might expect — and it still comes East A down to price point.

“We see a surprising number of people come in and buy Fat Tug, say, and a six-pack of whatever,” Sheehan says. “What does it mean? It means, ‘Yeah, I like real beer, but after a few I just want to get fucked up.’” M

The unique Phillips “Gypsy Wagon.”

ART OF BEER “They found me online and contacted me out of the blue,” says Landry. “I do enjoy local craft beers, and it’s pretty cool having my artwork printed on glass. I had never had any of my art screen printed on anything like that before.”

Landry is a self-taught illustrator who has a degree in earth and ocean sciences from UVic. As a professional artist, Landry’s work includes books, websites, pamphlets, logos, packaging and more and is heavily influenced by her love of all things fantastical.

“I really enjoy both the sense of freedom and collaboration working with Lighthouse,” says Landry. “They give me a name and a theme and just tell me to go to it. They don’t like to interfere with the artist’s process.”

In the case of the Switchback IPA, Fitterer says the team at the brewery came up with the mountain bike concept and let Landry take it from there. Now her design is riding the side of a BC Transit bus in town.

“We’re all avid mountain bikers,” says Fitterer. “We have more bikes in our lot than cars, so we thought it would be a good fit.

We gave the concept to Michelle and she gave us back a great label.” “[Having local artists design the labels] offers much the same benefit as buying local beer,” says Fitterer. “We like to have everything as local as possible, our beers, our employees, our ingredients, we just firmly believe in supporting local in any way we can.” M

MONDAY SPECIAL > BEER FEATURE

Beer festival turns 20 with spotlight on Canadian brew THOSE IN ATTENDANCE COULD SAMPLE MORE THAN 150 BEERS FROM 55 STALLS OVER THE WEEKEND ictoria’s social event of the year is turning 20.

From humble beginnings as a one-day indoor festival with 15 breweries and 1,500 people, the Great Canadian Beer Festival has grown into a world-class, two-day outdoor event that attracts more than 50 breweries, 8,000 people (20 per cent from out of town) and injects more than $200,000 a day into the local economy, according to GCBF chairman Gerry Hieter.

Never in its 20 years has the festival lived up to its name quite like it will this year. “This year we’re focusing on Canadian beer. It will change the flavour of the festival enormously,� says Hieter. “It’s the closest we’ve ever come to living up to our name.�

Breweries from B.C., Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Yukon territory have already confirmed.

More than 80 per cent of the 55 stalls at the 2012 festival could feature Canadian

GREAT CANADIAN BEER FESTIVAL Sept. 7 (3 to 8pm) and Sept. 8 (noon to 6pm) Royal Athletic Park beer, up from just over 55 per cent last year. The reason? After nearly 20 years, the GCBF no longer qualifies for consular liquor privileges — a cross-boarder agreement between the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the U.S. Consular General that allows liquor to be imported and consumed during a specified charitable event.

After a debacle with the B.C. Liquor Distribution (LDB) and Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB), who pulled GCBF’s consular liquor privileges less than 24 hours before the gates were supposed to open for the 2011 festival (privileges were eventually

reinstated just three hours before the gates opened), Hieter says he “just couldn’t go through that again.� “They say we don’t qualify because we’re not a registered charity,� says Hieter. “We’re a not-for-profit society and our mandate is to put on the best beer festival we can. If there’s any money over and above our expenses and the money we need for the following year, that goes to charity. But that’s not good enough for the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, because now they’re saying we’re not allowed to have a bank balance from one year to the next. We have to give it all to charity ... They’re literally trying to legislate us out of business,� he says.

But never fear, 14 American breweries have applied to participate in this year’s festival. These breweries already have distribution in B.C. and, therefore, don’t require a special licence to participate. “There are probably as many American breweries as Canadian breweries in the B.C. market right now,� says Hieter. “We used to get all these little guys from Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Bellingham and Anacortes who don’t sell beer in B.C., but they come because it’s fun and there’s the benefit of ferry traffic from Victoria.

They’re all pretty disappointed they can’t come this year.�

With 55 stalls offering three brews on average, those in attendance could sample

This year, the festival has increased its entertainment budget by 50 per cent, with everything from local gypsy marching band Bucan Bucan to some busker type acts coming to celebrate the anniversary. “I’m proud of the fact this festival is so highly regarded,� says Hieter. “Every brewer tells us this is the best festival they’ve ever come to.� M

IS BEER GETTING SNOOTY? ver the 20 years that Hieter has been involved with the Great Canadian Beer Festival, he’s watched attitudes about beer change dramatically.

A pioneer in the B.C. beer scene, Hieter helped set up many breweries, including Victoria’s own Lighthouse Brewery and the Whistler Brewing Company, among others. “In the beginning, craft beer was a tough sell,� says Hieter. “The big guys just considered us a fad, but the hardest part was convincing people that we didn’t make a mistake because our beer didn’t taste like Kokanee.�

IS BEER SNOOTY? And although the big brewers are king when it comes to quality and consistency, Hieter says local craft brewers have a leg up on their competition.

“You cannot beat the quality of a factory-made beer. That’s what they do best.

Their quality is second to none, their consistency is impeccable. Where the difference comes in is the big brews are a victim of their own size, they have to put in corn and they have to buy six-row barley and they have to use hop extracts because it’s all the cheapest to use, whereas you wouldn’t catch a local craft brewer touching any of those things.

They don’t use corn, they use two-row barley, they use the best, freshest hops they can find. It all comes down to ingredients.”

Hieter says the proliferation of beer blogs and websites like ratebeer.com have flooded the market with information and opinions, many anonymous and many negative, giving anyone the ability to become an amateur beer expert.

“Now when I go to the liquor store, I hear people having very informed conversations about beer and it blows my mind.”

The local craft beer market is made up predominantly of ales and Hieter says this stems from an upsidedown market.

“You could make an ale and have it in the keg in 10 days, or you could make a lager and have it in the keg in 21 days, but you couldn’t charge as much for the lager as the ale because people perceived the ale to have more value because it was darker and had more flavour,” says Hieter.

“Everything goes full circle and I’m predicting that in a couple of years we’ll see everybody with good pilsners and lagers, and I think Sean Hoyne is first out of the gate and he’ll be the benchmark, so good for him.” M

Keeping it clean — the draft lines that is

By Danielle Pope news@mondaymag.com

ou’re sitting at the bar with your friends, ready to enjoy a cold pint.

But when the server delivers the round, your draft beer is so foamy it looks cloudy. Your friend’s beer has no head, and your other friend remarks there are particles in his drink. You might not know it, but you’ve just become the victim of a dirty line — and, no, not the sassy pick-up kind.

Victorians spend plenty of time thinking about where our beer comes from — the locality of the hops, the brewery that crafts the ale — but when it comes to the actual faucet and draft line that draws that scrumptious pint from keg to mouth, most of us don’t even bat an inebriated eye. Yet one company makes its business thinking about those details, and believes every consumer has the right to know the truth about beer.

“You wouldn’t boil something in water over and over again and never wash your pot,” says Shelly Plaxton, co-owner and founder of Draught WISE Draught Integrity Technicians.

“People have this perception that because there is alcohol in beer it keeps everything clean, but it’s just not so … and you wouldn’t believe some of the things we see.”

Draught WISE has been cleaning nozzles and changing draft lines since 2010, when Plaxton and her husband, Gregory, launched their Victoria-based company at that year’s Great Canadian Beer Festival. Since then, they’ve mopped the market with a strong following, and 39 Victoria bars have now earned themselves the “Draught WISE Seal” for keep-

Y

ing up with the recommended industry standard of cleaning their lines every two weeks.

Another near-dozen establishments call on Draught WISE once a month, with some remaining customers, or even home brewers, requesting infrequent visits. Cleanings are now performed with a rinse of sodium hydroxide (like that found in dish soap) instead of the chlorine of years past, and each session can cost a business between $45 and $100.

Nozzle and pipe cleaning isn’t the sexiest topic of the beer industry, but Plaxton says avoiding it doesn’t hide the facts: dirty lines are costly, sometimes unsafe and always affecting the quality of the beer, especially in craft brews.

When beer is pushed through draft lines, yeast builds up on the faucets, couplers and walls of the pipes, particularly the high yeast in unpasteurized craft beers. This can then result in “beer mold” or “beer stones.” Both can be gross or dangerous substances to consume, and Plaxton says drinking dirty beer can actually give people that hung-over feeling. Beer stones also have the added effect of creating traction and turbulence in the lines as beer rushes past, which results in foamy beer and a loss of product.

“We have a real beer culture in this city, and wherever you go you should be able to taste the beer as the brewmasters intended for you to

taste it,” says Plaxton. “Of course, if you have a raspberry wheat ale filling a line for six months, then try to replace it with a pilsner, you’re going to taste a raspberry pilsner.”

Plaxton and her husband are huge advocates of the idea that it’s up to the customers to demand a clean product, and the company lists establishments that have earned their seal on its website. But while Draught WISE is not the only cleaning company on the Island (some larger restaurants hire their own cleaners, for example) Plaxton encourages every beer drinker to ask about cleaning procedures.

“If beer is one of your biggest sellers, you have to protect it,” she says. “This is just like DANIELLE POPE an oil change for your car — there is a cost Shelly and Gregory Plaxton of Draught WISE. involved, but it has to be done and you will be happy you did. We want people to support local draft, not be afraid of it.” M

t wasn’t that long ago that a woman knocking back a couple of pints in a bar on her own would have been silently dismissed as déclassé, just as the thought of a construction worker discussing the merits of risotto as a dinner option with the bartender would be unimaginable.

With the profusion of watering holes in Victoria today, it’s hard to believe that at one time you had to cross

I

a bridge to get a beer after work, unless you were dressed to pass muster in one of downtown’s fancy hotel bars. Today, the working masses have plenty of options where they can grab a quick beer and a bite to eat.

Better still, we have progressed from profusion of terrycloth covered tables and hot dog menus of 30 years ago.

This week we look at two of Victoria’s brew pubs, each with extensive menus that combine their liquid products with great local ingredients. Both offer wheelchair access and adult-only zones, in addition to areas where patrons of all ages are welcome.

CANOE BREW PUB 450 Swift Street, 250-361-1940 Step inside this heritage brick building to find soaring wood ceilings and multi-level seating, or settle back on the massive great patio facing the upper reaches of the inner harbour. Quench your thirst with one of several house brews, crafted in small batches made with the finest malted barley, hops, yeast and water without the use of additives or preservatives, or order a fleet and sample a few.

If you’re peckish, choose something from the bar snacks menu to whet your appetite: chilli and toffee beer nuts with a sprinkling of sea salt, marinated olives, warm pretzels or local artisan corn dogs continued next page

What’s hot on local shelves By Pam Grant

Don’t be bitter about ale ust when you figured out the difference between vin mousseux and methode Champensoise, and what to serve with red and white wine, everyone has turned into a beer expert. Here’s enough to get you through the next barbecue full of beer and ale sommeliers.

The ideal drinking temperature for a beer is related to its temperature of fermentation.

Bottom-fermented beers are fermented at colder temperatures (commonly 7°C/46°F) with minimum air contact and then cold-stored for up to six months before drinking.

This method uses slower growing yeast, which settle (hence the term bottom fermenting ) and produce less surface foam, resulting in

J

lagers and its subtypes including pilsner, bocks, malt liquor and dortmunder.

The final flavour depends on the temperatures used in production and the strain of yeast used. The other main category is ales or topfermented beers, fermented at warmer temperatures (commonly 20°C/68°F) with air contact and stored at most for a couple of weeks.

They produce significant foam during fermentation as the yeast rises to the top, and are best enjoyed at cellar temperature (or what North Americans used to complain about and call warm beer when they went to the United Kingdom).

Distinctive beers in this category include bitters, stouts, ale, porter and wheat beers.

Sisters of the Tap CRAFT BEER GROUP OFFERS WOMEN PINT OF CAMARADERIE

By Danielle Pope news@mondaymag.com

“

eal women drink real beer� — that’s the sentiment and mission statement of Victoria’s newest craft beer appreciation group, and the only female-focused hop sippers in the city: Sisters of The Tap. “We have nine breweries in Victoria, and there are great women involved in the industry, but still no group celebrating that fact,� says Lindsay McQueen, events coordinator for Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub, and Sisters creator. “I wanted a group where women can come and learn more with no pressure.�

Sisters of The Tap will cheer its inception with its first “Beer School� on Wednesday, June 20, 5:30 p.m. at Spinnakers (308 Catherine). No membership is required to be part of the group, and all women are invited to meet, sample 16 craft varieties and learn about the creation of each. After that, McQueen hopes to host monthly meetings, educational tastings, special events, even group road trips.

While international groups like the Pink Boots Society, aimed at industry professionals, and Barley’s Angels, aimed at consumers, were created with chapters all over to empower women to advance their experience and enjoyment of beer culture, Victoria has had a dearth of options until McQueen’s project, which will be the first Barley’s Angels chapter in the city and aims to “connect women who appreciate craft beer with others and to promote the education and enjoyment of craft beer.�

Start-up Sisters include McQueen, Spinnakers brewster Kala Hadfield, Salt Spring Island Ales co-owner Becky Julseth, Spinnakers general manager Claire Radosevic and sommelier Tanya Loeppky.

Start-up Sisters of the Tap are ready to say cheers: Becky Julseth (left), Claire Radosevic, Kala Hadfield and Lindsay McQueen.

“There was a point when craft brews were edged out of the market, along the time that mass production beer became popular and aimed at the male-dominated working class,� says Salt Spring’s Julseth. “Being an owner of a brewery, this is an issue on our mind, and we work to attract a female market as well as a male one — that means sophisticated bottles and labels that people want to hold the way they do wine or spirits.�

Hadfield has grown up working in Spinnakers, but has been brewing herself for eight months, and says there is no real female-focused beer, but there are still plenty of misconceptions. Many of those myths, she says, come from being surrounded by generic, mass-produced beers. “A lot of women are intimidated by beer, or don’t think they like dark beers,â€? Hadfield says. “But if you sit down and start out with a nice kĂślsch, and work into the nut brown ales, you’ll see drinking real craft brews is nothing like generic beers.â€?

Other myths are that dark beers have to be heavy, says Hadfield, or that all beer contains wheat (except for hefeweizens, craft beer has little or no gluten). Another myth is that beer is fattening, adds Julseth. Like any other food, it contains many nutrients, including protein and fibre. “People have expectations of what they are going to experience when they drink beer, but tasting a chemically infused berry ale in a can is nothing like sipping craft beer made with real raspberries,� says McQueen. “It’s a whole other experience.�

Julseth says the key is to just jump in, then slowly broaden your flavour preferences. Being part of a group like Sisters of the Tap can open that door. “Beer is similar to coffee or wine — bitter flavours can seem scary at first,� she says, “but once you’ve warmed up to the idea, your pallet will really open to a whole new universe.� M

SALT SPRING ISLAND ALES

Flying Tanker White IPA With the recent return of the 650ml Bomber bottling system to VIB, the summer is starting to look pretty refreshing.

First up is the Flying Tanker IPA, the first white IPA in Canada, which pays homage to B.C.'s historic Martin Mars water bombers. This unique twist on a traditional IPA delivers a full payload of hops with a floral, citrus nose, but is balanced with the smoothness of wheat malt. In quick succession, notes of coriander, grapefruit rind and lemon are also noticeable. ABV 6.8%.

Available in 650ml bottles.

Heather Ale Winner of 2011’s North West Brew News’ “People’s Choice Award,” the Heather Ale is now being bottled for the first time.

Beachcomber Summer Ale An unfiltered ale styled after a German Weiss bier, this easy drinking wheat beer pours a glowing golden yellow with the aroma of banana and notes of spice and tropical fruit.

DRIFTWOOD BREWERY Belle Royale The team at Driftwood decided to steer the Belle Royale in a new direction this year, incorporating it into their sour beer program. This season's version has spent a year inside used French and Appalachian oak wine barrels, undergoing lactic and Brettanomyces fermentation to produce a sour, funky, lightly oaked cherry delight.

MONDAY GUIDE > FILM The quirky kingdom of Wes Anderson ANDERSON HAS DELIVERED ONE OF HIS BEST FILMS EVER

By Robert Moyes arts@mondaymag.com

ight out of the gate, director Wes Anderson (Mount Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums) brought a unique combination of family dysfunction and a love of quirky weirdness to his filmmaking. Then, right around the time people started complaining that his movies were becoming too predictably mannered, he helmed Fantastic Mr. Fox, a marvelous piece of stopmotion animation that was worthy of Oscar consideration.

He’s back with live actors for Moonrise Kingdom, and even though some critics have carped about “style over substance,” I’d have to say that Anderson has delivered one of his best films ever — and one likely to win him a (slightly) broader fan base. Sure, all the quirks and mannerisms are still in evidence — from the stylized acting to numerous horizontal and vertical tracking shots that can dissect a home as though it is a museum exhibit. But by setting the action in the mid-’60s and focusing the attention on Sam and Suzy — two po-faced 12-year-olds who think they’re star-crossed lovers — the film’s oddities don’t seem excessively cute or precious.

The story begins with Sam and Suzy running off together, disappearing into the wilderness of a small, mostly well-groomed island off the coast of New England. Their disappearance provokes alarm and a large-scale search; and as the story moves along, the parents and other adults prove to be as troubled as the pair of tweener misfits they are hunting for.

Moonrise sustains its mood of wry romanticism and sly deadpan humour with ingenuity, while actors such as Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Edward Norton and Bob Balaban keep the audience chuckling and sometimes laughing out loud. This certainly isn’t for everyone, but Anderson deserves more than a cult audience. M

MOONRISE KINGDOM ★★★½ Directed by Wes Anderson Starring Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton PG-13, 93 minutes Continues at the Odeon and Uni 4

FILM & CINEMA CALENDAR OPENING BRAVE - (Capitol/SilverCity/Uni 4/ Westshore) Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson provide the voices for an animated tale set in ancient Scotland that tells of a young princess who must rely on her courage and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.

Looks like fun! Starts Fri. ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER - (Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) In this departure from strict historic truth, the 16th President of the U.S. discovers that vampires are planning to take over the country and decides to kill them. All of them.

This special effects-driven gorefest is from the Russian director of Night Watch, himself a noted vampire specialist. Starts Fri. SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD - (Capitol) A "planet killer" asteroid is hurtling towards Earth and Steve Carell and Keira Knightley develop a sweet friendship during the six weeks they have left.

Oh, and it's a comedy. Starts Fri. CHERNOYBL DIAIRES - (Caprice) Horror fans may enjoy this dark thriller about some "extreme tourists" who visit the abandoned city where the workers at Chernobyl lived.

Wouldn't you know, though — those pesky tourists soon realize that they're not, uhm, alone! The gasps start Fri.

CONTINUING ★★★ THE AVENGERS - (Capitol/ SilverCity/Uni 4) A mob of Marvel-ous superheroes comes together to help prevent a global apocalypse, in a decent but uninspired orgy of one-liners and special effects. The galaxy of greatness includes Iron Man (Robert Downey), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Captain America (Chris Evans).

BATTLESHIP - (Caprice) The classic Hasbro board game sails into the cineplex, transformed into a sci-fi epic as a naval armada does battle with a terrifying extraterrestrial force. ★★★½ BERNIE - (Capitol) The latest from Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise) is a droll true-crime story starring Jack Black as a small-town Texas mortician who kills a wealthy widow, then goes to great trouble to create the illusion she's still alive. This is a wonderfully entertaining slice of oddball Americana. See review. ★★★½ THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL - (Odeon/Uni 4) A diverse group of British seniors seek out an affordable retirement hotel in India, only to find it in shabby disarray. But despite the initial disappointment, India's exotic charms win them over. This heartfelt comedy-drama has a great cast that includes Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Judi Dench. ★★ DARK SHADOWS - (Caprice) Tim Burton directs Johnny Depp in a tepid adaptation of the campy 1970s soap opera that featured a family of dysfunctional vampires. Fangs, but no fangs.

A DROLL DEATH IN TEXAS ust as quirky, but in a totally different way, is Bernie, a unique hybrid directed by talented, self-taught auteur Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise). This totallyweird-but-it’s-true sort-of documentary combines actors with more than 30 real residents of a small Texas town; the movie both recreates and comments on a remarkable murder case where everyone loved the killer and detested the victim.

The film stars Jack Black, who for years has been playing the same buffoonish character in all his comedies but here turns in a truly impressive piece of acting. He is the title character, an assistant funeral director, new to town, who quickly wins everyone over with his charm, enthusiasm, and civic spirit. He’s especially compassionate with those who are recently bereaved, and manages to befriend Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine), a rich widow who had always been as mean as a viper.

Before too long he’s accompanying her on first-class trips to exotic destinations, eventually cutting back his hours as a mortician to become Marjorie’s full-time assistant. But after awhile the friendship sours as Marjorie becomes demanding and hateful, and by the time no one has seen Marjorie in months, the local sheriff (Matthew McConaughey) starts to investigate. Oh, dear. From Black’s affecting performance as the gay mortician to all those larger-than-life residents of Carthage, Bernie is a funny, vastly entertaining slice of oddball Americana. M

★★ DR. SEUSS' THE LORAX(Caprice) This is an over-stuffed, garishly coloured eco-parable that is preachy and only fitfully engaging.

Featuring the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift. ★★½ THE HUNGER GAMES (Caprice) With Twilight fading fast, the latest teen sensation is this fantasy account of a future world where every year 24 young people are selected to fight to the death on live TV. Everyone else seems to love this movie, but other than for the great lead performance

by JenniferLawrence I found this derivative and a bit cheesy. ★★★ MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED (Capitol/SilverCity/Uni 4) Those mouthy NYC zoo escapees are up to their usual colourful antics in a wittily entertaining animation romp.

MEN IN BLACK III - (SilverCity/ Westshore) Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reprise their roles as alien-bashing crime fighters in a third outing for this wacky sci-fi comedy series. And thanks to a time travel aspect, Josh Brolin has fun playing the younger version of Jones' character. ★★★½ MOONRISE KINGDOM (Odeon/Uni 4) The ever-quirky Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Fantastic Mr. Fox) is in fine form as he tells a tale about two very young lovers who run away, thus sparking an unusual search. The great cast includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, and Frances McDormand.

See review. ★★★ THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS - (Caprice) The Aardman Studios crew (of Wallace and Gromit fame) set sail with this rollicking — and extremely silly — spoof of all things piratical. Featuring the vocal talents of Hugh Grant, Salma Hayak, and Jeremy Piven.

★★★½ PROMETHEUS - (Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) Ridley Scott returns to his sci-fi roots with a creepy, visually stunning prequel to the classic, still-terrifying Alien.

Starring Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace. ★★ ROCK OF AGES - (Capitol/ SilverCity/Westshore) Tom Cruise stars in a flabby and unfunny rock musical paying tribute to the over-thetop world of 1980s heavy metal music. ★★★ SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN - (Caprice) Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) directs Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt in a whimsical tale, part satire and part romantic comedy, about a fisheries expert who becomes a consultant to a sheik who wants to bring the sport of fly fishing to the desert.

SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN - (SilverCity/Westshore/Odeon) Supposedly Charlize Theron steals the show as the evil queen, in an exotic retelling of the classic fairy tale. With Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame.

THAT'S MY BOY - (Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) The egregious Adam Sandler is back with a new low brow "comedy," this one featuring SNL's Andy Samberg as his wayward son.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING -(Caprice) This nontraditional chick flick looks at five couples confronting the joys and challenges of becoming parents.

Starring Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez.

Secrets of Tall Tree 3 FESTIVAL TAKES OVER PORT RENFREW JUNE 21- 23

By Mary Ellen Green arts@mondaymag.com

ax Power is keeping a secret.

The international man of mystery and founder, president and CEO of Radio Contact Productions — hosts of Tall Tree Music Festival, June 21, 22 and 23 in Port Renfrew — has released the lineup for the the third-annual celebration of music, art, community and the environment on Brown’s Mountain, but he won’t say in what order the bands are playing until the gates open Thursday at 4 p.m. In fact, he won’t even tell the bands.

“The Radio Contact team works hard to line up the artists in such a way that the music always flows — so every artist complements one another. It’s about creating the best possible audience experience, and also about shifting people outside their comfort zones when it comes to music. Maybe they’ll hear something new, maybe it’ll open doors for them, and just maybe it will be an experience they’ll never forget,” says Power by email from Russia where the chess enthusiast is monitoring the local scene.

This year’s lineup includes international electronic heavyweights Mark Farina (founder of Mushroom Jazz), San Francisco’s J Boogie and Austin’s DJ Chicken George alongside some of B.C.’s best: Longwalkshortdock, The Pack A.D., Kyprios, Sweatshop Union, Vince Vaccaro, Kuba Oms, Quoia, Georgia Murray, Steph MacPherson, Carmanah, Sunday Buckets and more. So many more, in fact, that there are more than double the number of performers from last year. Three days for $129.99 works out to $1.94 per act — less than a toonie each. (Radio Contact curates the bands, while (DJ) John Beaumier of Whitebird Promotions curates the electronic music.)

Power and his team have been working diligently around the clock

to make improvements to the morethan-500-acre site, which includes a new camping zone, an improved valley stage with a natural amphitheatre, a larger sound system and the most important change — a path to a tall tree.

“We thought it was important to have an actual tall tree on site,” says Power. “Brown’s Mountain is a development site, so it doesn’t have a lot of old growth, but it’s absolutely amazing to see what old growth looks like.”

Proceeds from the festival will go to support the Ancient Forest Alliance and its bid to build a boardwalk at the awe-inspiring Avatar Grove, a now-protected 10-hectare stand of 80-meter-tall old growth Douglas fir and western red cedar just 15 minutes from Port Renfrew. The proceeds will also go the Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce and to the local rec centre, where Radio Contact has hosted its other festival, Song and Surf.

Power says that one of the best parts of Tall Tree is the community that hosts it and the fact that its remote (out of cell phone range) location means everyone in attendance has to “unplug and tune in.”

“I love the fact that there is no cell coverage in Port Renfrew — it removes one of the biggest distractions and unnecessary conveniences that make up for a huge portion of our day-to-day lives.

Coming to Tall Tree forces people to unplug from the modern world and tune in to ours. And it truly is an amazing world waiting out here to be discovered.”

Check out the Tall Tree website for more information, tickets and the Tall Tree Six Pack — a list of values Radio Contact uses to guide the festival. But Power says it best: “Make your mother proud. Create, don’t hate.” M

HOROSCOPE >

JUNE 21 - 27, 2012

This will be a great summer to catch up on old business

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 The power of positive thinking is a wonderful thing. Many books have been written about this and it cannot be disputed that everything you see around you and everything you touch began with a thought in someone’s mind. So thoughts are important. In the coming year (and beginning this week) you will easily enjoy a more positive frame of mind. You’ll be more optimistic and eager to share your ideas with others. But how valid are your ideas and values? That’s always a tricky question, isn’t it? This week something might occur to test your grasp of reality. (Hey, our gene pool always needs a lifeguard.)

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 I’ve been writing (and will continue to do so) about what a great year this is for Gemini. Through a celestial fluke, Venus is in your sign for 18 weeks, a rare occurrence that will not happen again for 105 years.

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 You’re entering a popular year ahead, which is something you’ll enjoy. But sometimes it’s tricky handling the demands that others make on your time, isn’t it? In your desire to please others or keep them happy, you might feel you’re selling out your own freedom, independence or personal integrity. This is not good. This week something will happen that challenges this very question. In other words, how can you skillfully handle your relationship to others, yet not let yourself down or sell out? Another test might arise regarding your hopes and dreams for the future. How realistic are they? You might find out.

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 As Jupiter travels across the top of your chart this year, it will promote your good name among your peers. Eighteen months in the future, your reputation will be shining with accolades and praise that you earn in the coming months. All of this will build up to “send” you in a particular life direction. This week ahead could be a test for you to determine if you’re going in the direction that you really want to go.

Perhaps you have some kind of false optimism about what you can achieve? A splash of cold water might help you to be more realistic about where to

LIBRA SEPT 23-OCT 22 You’re a social sign and you love ideas. Something in your life now encourages you to study or learn more about a philosophy, ideology or life-belief system. You want to learn and expand your world, not just out of curiosity but because you believe it will enrich your life or enhance you in some way. You might do this through reading, listening to teachers or travelling — all broadening experiences. (Especially reading, which can really broaden your butt!) However, how will you know that what you are learning is valuable or even credible?

Something this week might arise to show you if you’re on the right path or not.

SCORPIO OCT 23-NOV 21 An interesting week ahead! Very likely, your values will be tested.

Naturally, you embrace your values because they’re yours; they reflect your core beliefs. But when you look back at your life since you were a young teenager, a few basic values have changed because you learned or experienced more. This week your values might be tested about something, especially related to how your values differ from the values of others, or something to do with shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and debt. If you’re lucky, you’ll be disillusioned, which means your illusions will be ripped away, letting you see things clearly.

(Weird, eh?)

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 Your reputation is so important to you. (Scandal is horrifying.) This is one of the reasons you’re careful doing your job because you want the respect of others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. In the coming year, you can improve your job or get a better job or get a better boss; but how will you do this? In the week ahead, something might occur that tests everything you think about your job or your ability to get a different job. For example, you might be listening to the wrong person or kidding yourself about your job in some way. Your challenge right now is to be as realistic as possible because you’re dealing with your own future!

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 Without question, you’re looking at a fun-loving, playful, romantic year ahead. Many will take a fabulous vacation. All of you will be happier and enjoy pleasurable, relaxing moments. Relationships with children and romantic partners will be a source of pleasure and happiness. But all of this depends on your choices, doesn’t it?

It also depends on your ability to balance your need for fun and pleasure with the respon-

sibilities you have to family, job and even yourself. This week could be a wake-up call regarding your values and decisions about how to allocate your time. (On the other hand, according to Mae West, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”)

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 How wonderful that the next 18 months will bring you a happier home life and an enriched appreciation of where you live. In fact, this blessing is so strong it also applies to real-estate transactions.

Nevertheless, to make this good fortune work for you and loved ones, you have to be realistic about what you want to achieve and what is actually possible. You have to clearly define to yourself what you want.

If you go into a big supermarket and have no idea what you want, when you get home you’ll no doubt discover you need more things.

Something might happen this week that makes you realize what you do and don’t need in your personal life.

Reaching back to move forward…

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 This week, your ruler Jupiter is tested by dreamy Neptune. This is the classic “wake up and smell the coffee” moment. (I hate smelling the coffee.) It means you have to ask yourself if your optimism and faith, especially in partners, committed relationships and close friendships, is well-placed. Perhaps you are not seeing the relationship for what it really is? Are you being suckered in and deceiving yourself? (You know who you are.) It’s so easy to believe in what we want to believe, isn’t it? Something could happen this week that makes you open your eyes to the truth of a close relationship. Could be good; could be bad.

Either way, you will know the truth, which is far more important.

You are a tactile sign and you certainly value what you can touch and hold, especially mortgage-free land. As an archetype, Taurus is the country Squire or the banker.

You want tangible security in your lifetime. (Preferably surrounded by beautiful things, antiques and excellent food and drink.) However, some of your ideas — about money, assets and possessions and how to keep them, hold them, or what to do with them — are going to be tested this week. For example, it’s true that money and possessions are wonderful to have, but for what purpose? How do they alter you, change you or edify you? When you think about it, you never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.

result, you’ll be more inclined to put the interests, needs and wants of others before your own. This is a tricky business because you don’t want to be a doormat; you just want to be helpful to others. This week something will test you or demonstrate in some way just how realistic your ideals are.

Remember: True generosity is giving what is needed.
