EDITOR’S NOTE

City charges up Earth Week n mind of all the Earth Week excitement, the City of Victoria made its own impressive contribution just weeks ago with city parkades now housing eight new electric vehicle charging stations.

Charging stations have DANIELLE popped up all around B.C. this POPE spring, and a quick search at news@ PlugShare.com reveals the mondaymag.com Island is no exception. A few dozen stations dot the CRD, along with a handful of the increasingly popular home charging stations. In Victoria, the Centennial Square, Johnson Street and Bastion Square parkades now offer one charging station each. Two stations have also been installed at the View Street parkade and three at the Broughton Street parkade.

Don’t expect a quick fuel up, yet, though — the charging stations will take three to eight hours to fully recharge an electric car battery. And with approximately 45 electric cars residing in the CRD and 77 on the Island, according to ICBC, the stations could get competitive, though the city has installed two additional charging stations at the Public Works Yard for use by city vehicles. Normal parking charges will still apply at the new parkade stations, but there is no additional fee to use the charger. The city’s “First Hour Free” coupon will also permit a free hour of charge to your vehicle.

This spark is all thanks to the province’s $2.74 million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund that will support up to 570 public charging stations across B.C. this season. The incentives cover up to 75 per cent of the capital and installation costs. Down south, companies like Portland General Electric (PGE) in Oregon are leading the way and installed the nation’s first quick-charge station in 2010 — which can take an electric vehicle from dead to nearly full in under half an hour.

Gradual as it may be, “greening” the City of Victoria’s fleet is one of four areas of the city’s “Cut the Carbon” program to reduce energy use and emissions within city operations. The city currently has electric “gators” for hauling and digging work within its parks and, this year, the city is tendering for two electric work trucks.

For resident pleasure, city’s parkades also offer charging stations for electric bikes and free covered parking for bikes powered by legs.

SEA LEVELS NOW ON THE RISE Not that this is time to panic, but sea levels are on the rise. What environmental activists and scientists have been saying for decades is finally being heeded by the province, who last week released a new report showcasing a range of strategies for dealing with flood risks associated with the rise.

“Sea Level Rise Adaptation Primer: A Toolkit to Build Adaptive Capacity on Canada’s South Coasts” provides professionals and local authorities with information on 21 tools that local governments -> iÊ vviVÌ ÛiÊ «À Ê£nÊÌ ÀÕÊÓ{]ÊÓä£Î

DON DENTON

Electric car charging stations, like this one outside the Empress Hotel, will now be a reality for city parkades.

and authorities can use to implement an adaptation strategy. “We want to make sure the investments we make today will last well into the future — so planning needs to begin now,” says B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake.

Before investing in that seaside beach house, residents might be keen to know sea levels in B.C. are projected to rise approximately one metre over the next century — influenced by both melting glaciers and tectonic movements. Side effects may include, but are not be limited to: high water levels in coastal areas, increased erosion and flooding, loss of property and historical sites, loss of habitat, reduced biodiversity and saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers.

WORKSHOPPING DEATH For a world seemingly addicted to watching catastrophe and destruction play out in the news, most of us know very little about dealing with crisis.

Fortunately for those dying, bereaved and grappling with violent deaths, there are those among us who are trained to handle it — and there’s a conference coming to Victoria to help them hone their craft.

On Sat., April 27, The Inn at Laurel Point and the International Working Group on Death, Dying and Bereavement will host “Hospice and Palliative Care, Grief Counselling and the Aftermath of Trauma and Disaster.” The conference is formed in a workshop style, with a variety of topics for the day-long event.

To reference an oft spoken cliché, we’re all going to die. The trouble is, our fear of death pushes it into the dark recesses of our minds. Sometimes it’s only the large, global experiences of death that force it into focus. Through the earthquake at Christchurch, New Zealand, the tsunami and nuclear reactor breakdown in Sendai, Japan and the TAM passenger airline crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil, panelists will explore the lessons we can all learn from disaster.

Other topics include deaths at school, innovative funeral practices, grieving after death and more.

Spots are $200/$100 for students. To register, contact breda@dearmondmanagement.com, 250-4727644. Learn more at: iwgddb.com. M — By Colin Cayer

Time to end the silence know this crime isn’t something new. Cartoons have been making light of date rape since the first iconic image appeared of a caveman hitting a woman over the head with a club in order to drag her back to his cave.

Stories have circulated through every high school of a girl who got drunk or high at a party and had sex with one or more boys without being able to give consent. But when did this become something that other GRANT students are willing to sweep under the rug? When did McKENZIE the victim become the one who is mocked and harassed rather than the perpetrators? editor@ Two teenagers from different cities in different counmondaymag.com tries hanged themselves recently because they were gang raped, photographed and tossed aside by their peers. One of those girls, Rehtaeh Parsons, was from Coal Harbour, NS; the other, Audrie Pott, from Saratoga, Calif.

The similarities between the two cases is staggering. Both girls attended a house party with friends; both girls were gang raped by boys they knew; both girls were photographed and filmed while being assaulted; and both girls became victims of online and school bullying.

When did sexual assault and humiliation become something that people take sick glee in sharing online rather than forming a lynch mob? Any distribution of such photos or video should be considered a hate crime under the Criminal Code. The boys who raped Parsons have never been charged, although the case is now reopened. The three boys who allegedly raped Pott were charged last week — seven months after the 15-year-old killed herself.

I wish I had the power to enter the minds of these savages and plant a seed of what these young women felt: the pain, fear, guilt and humiliation.

But what really disturbs me is how everyone failed these victims.

In Parsons’ case, the attack was never addressed in school because the school claims it didn’t know. The RCMP never made an arrest because it couldn’t find enough evidence. The silence of Parsons’ peers allowed this to happen. By not speaking up, they validated the crime.

High school is a brutal microcosm of our larger society, but we have allowed it to become a half-rate babysitting service rather than a gateway to adulthood. We need to realize what is happening to our children and find ways to address it. We need to stop cutting budgets and start putting money back into the system. We need counsellors in the schools and principals who aren’t afraid to speak up.

These teenage rapists also need to know that there are consequences to acting like monsters. If caught, they need to be charged as adults because their age makes no difference. If you commit an adult crime, you need to face adult punishment — and I hope it’s severe. M

OFF THE FRONT > EARTH WEEK ff-put is the best way to describe Twyla Roscovich’s reaction to biologist Dr. Alexandra Morton’s proposition to make a film about the health of B.C.’s fish. Roscovich is no stranger to environmental filmmaking, nor the subject of salmon. Her film RainWolves focuses on the reliance of coastal wolves on wild salmon. Her most recent work takes a different look at this keystone species in Salmon Confidential.

“When Alex first called me I was like, blah. Diseases?

What?” Making a film about the lesion besieged bodies and softening hearts of B.C.’s wild and farmed salmon lacked a certain majesty.

COLIN CAYER Still, Roscovich agreed and signed on to make a short news@mondaymag.com 10-minute film that turned into the 109-minute Salmon Confidential.

“It ended up being this big documentary,” Roscovich recalls. “I did not intend for that to happen.” She didn’t intend for the film to go viral either. To date it’s been viewed more than 70,000 times at salmonconfidential.ca.

It isn’t hard to see how Roscovich’s commitment to the film expanded. Five minutes in and your blood reaches a slow simmer — boiling isn’t far off. The film chronicles governmental bullying, slandering and muzzling of top Canadian scientists, including those on the public payroll. Confidential also follows Dr. Morton as she attempts to navigate unprecedented governmental interference to officially confirm something she claims to already know.

It comes down to the little discussed ISA virus (the headliner in a list of diseases) and its relationship to B.C.’s salmon.

ISA stands for infectious salmon anemia. It’s an internationally reportable disease that has major trade ramifications for the aquaculture, or fish farms, that are found to have it.

It has even larger ramifications on wild salmon populations and the massive network of life these athletes of the deep support.

Interestingly, when found in eastern Canada’s fisheries, entire fish stocks were culled in these mostly Norwegianowned corporations. Canadian taxpayers picked up the tab for the companies losses. When that became too expensive, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Department

O

DOCUMENTARY EXPOSES DISEASE RISK

What is killing our salmon? of Fisheries decided on another course of action — putting them on ice in our grocery stores. Currently, there is no research indicating ISA virus has any effect on humans.

Norway has reported ISA virus in their farms. Eggs from these farms are used to start the country’s Canadian fisheries.

Footage from the Cohen Commission in December 2011 might be the most damning against the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Department of Fisheries (DFO). The commission was formed to get to the bottom of the health of B.C.’s fish.

“You can just look in their eyes, all of these guys. That’s the thing about documentary filmmaking,” Roscovich says.

“People can read body language. They pick up on the subtle clues about how people are feeling.”

We certainly see some clear human emotions in these moments.

A statement on DFO’s webpage made by minister of Fisheries and Oceans at the time, Keith Ashfield, says, “After Canada’s reputation has needlessly been put at risk over the past several weeks because of speculation and unfounded science, additional in-depth, conclusive tests, using proper and internationally recognized procedures, are now complete and we can confirm that there has never been a confirmed case of ISA in B.C. salmon, wild or farmed.”

Fisheries and Oceans communications advisor Michelle Imbeau adds, “Canada has stringent federal regulations in place to protect Canada’s aquatic species (farmed and wild) from disease and will continue to work diligently with our partners to ensure they continue to be strictly enforced.”

The documentary isn’t all doom and gloom. “The thing about salmon is they want to bounce back,” Roscovich’s assures.

“Anytime we’ve managed to keep salmon farms out of migratory routes, millions of healthy salmon return the next year.”

Roscovich sees economic claims from fisheries and government — that reporting ISA and other diseases afflicting the salmon population will destroy the salmon industry — as preposterous.

GEOFFREY MCNAMARA

Filmmaker Twyla Roscovich examines B.C. salmon.

“The government suggests that aquaculture [fish farms] brings in around $800 million. Sports fishing alone brings in closer to $1 billion,” Roscovich says. “The government and corporations just don’t know how to make money from wild salmon.” M Victoria screening of Salmon Confidential April 23, 7pm and 9pm at UVic’s Cinecenta Theatre (3800 Finnerty). Dr. Alex Morton and filmmaker Twyla Roscovich will be in attendance for discussion. Check out the film, donate and get more information at salmonconfidential.ca

STREET SMARTS What environmental issue are you tired of?

KIERAN REPORT

No special moment goes unpunished n the nat i o n a l political stage, no special moment goes unpunished. We were reminded of this when Justin Trudeau BRIAN was crowned Liberal KIERAN Party leader and elobkieran@ quently embraced mondaymag.com the challenge of rebuilding the party that was once a centrist powerhouse.

While Trudeau was basking in the glow of victory, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s backroom bullies were poisoning the well. The first in a series of seriously nasty attack ads was being pumped into the virtual universe.

Trudeau — looking like a Che Guevara wannabe — “lacks the judgment to be Prime Minister. He’s in way over his head,” proclaim Harper’s harpies on their new website: justinoverhishead.ca.

The Liberal leader is even ridiculed for performing a mock striptease, even though it was conducted at a charity event organized by the Canadian Liver Foundation. Trudeau helped raise $1,800 at the event.

O

“Trudeaumania is here,” the website cautions. “It’s spreading from journalist to journalist ... Breathless reporting. Tired clichés. Overwrought prose. But, since all news passes through their journalistic filter, we need your help to get our message directly to Canadians. No filter. Just the facts. Without their snark and spin.”

Ironically, many Liberals would claim they have been the victims of 24/7 media “snark and spin” since they offered up Stephane Dion as their leader in 2006.

An increasing number of Canadians are offended by these attack ads, but Harper could care less. He believes they work.

Exactly two years ago, just ahead of the May 2011 federal election, one of my first columns for Monday Magazine was devoted to attack ads and voter suppression, which I characterized as “disengagement by design.”

The goal then, and now, is to discourage moderate voters from political engagement because they believe Ottawa is at worst corrupt or at best a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

Certainly the stakes for Harper have never been higher. He is running scared and there isn’t even an election on the horizon. An April 3-10 EKOS poll of 4,500 voters gives the Liberals 29.1 per cent support (up from 18.9 in the 2011 election), compared to the Conservatives’ 28.8 per

I don’t know of any environmental issue I’d be sick of hearing about.

cent (down from 39.6 in 2011) and the NDP’s 23.3 per cent (down from 30.6 in 2011).

I am convinced that polling this week in the wake of Trudeau’s victory will put the Liberals more firmly in first place.

Most polling firms have reported steady gains for the Liberals since last summer due initially to the rock solid stewardship of interim leader Bob Rae and then to Trudeau’s entry into the leadership race in October.

There is another reason why Harper is so keen to invest millions of party resources to nationally humiliate Trudeau. It diverts attention from a swelling revolt on the wing-ding flank of his caucus. There is a group of more than 20 Conservative MPs — like Edmonton MP Brent Rathgeber — who are sick and tired of having their parliamentary voices muted by their dictatorial PM. In the coming weeks, Rathgeber and other members of this cabal will be aggressively lobbying the Speaker for new rules that facilitate open debate in the House of Commons.

Rathgeber says: “I have, from time to time, constructively criticized our own government’s policies.” As far as Harper is concerned, that’s bordering on treason.

And, he wants us looking the other way while he attempts to crush this dissent. M

CITY WATCHDOG

KELLY CARSON, Victoria

Pipelines on your mind? Look north ecovering from city life in the mountains of the interior, I sought a brief escape from the daily barrage of politics that comes along with life here in The Capital. Unfortunately, my earnest hope for peace and quiet evaporated when I discovered a piece of truly dazzling propaganda that had been slipped in between the pages of the rural SIMON community news.

NATTRASS “Building a Stronger North,” the fullsnattrass@ colour, eight-page advertorial proclaimed. mondaymag.com Its contents reveal a handful of feel-good stories about mountain biking and revitalization projects nestled between others trumpeting the return of Kitimat as an economic powerhouse and the good-old-days appeal of resource extraction.

The piece — published by the Northern Development Initiative Trust — goes on to refer readers to a series of investment portals featuring the four main regions of the northern province. Old B.C. favourites like forestry, mining, pulp and paper, and of course oil and liquid natural gas extraction are offered up to both entice investors and placate communities with the promise of jobs.

R

But it’s not all sugar and rainbows in the northern frontier.

While the steady march of pipelines across the province is offering $70 billion in new investments, “a large contingent of the province’s population,” the editor’s note laments, “has become psychologically averse to industrialization.”

“The mines, mills, and pipelines that built this province,” we are told, “no longer match the 21st century mentality of ‘beautiful’ British Columbia.” Indeed, the “challenges” associated with activism and the rights of indigenous peoples “threaten the major economic projects that could propel this province toward future success.”

We have been duped, it seems; tricked into valuing the natural beauty, ecological diversity, and remaining wilderness of our home over the clearly superior goal of industrial expansion.

Industry made this province what it is, and we owe it our blood and money in return.

You won’t find this in your mailbox. Like the elementary school presentations and information kiosks that precede construction in communities along pipeline routes, the NDIT isn’t concerned with The Capital, removed as we are from the visceral impacts of progress. While we howl into the deaf ears of politicians and bureaucrats, the real battle over B.C.’s future is fought in the hearts and minds of the province’s rural communities. M

OFF THE FRONT > EARTH WEEK

BY MARY ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com

A green alternative to cremation END-OF-LIFE PLANNING FOR PETS OFFERS NEW OPTIONS hen it comes to end-of-life planning, family pets often don’t get the same consideration as human members. Pet owners usually take their beloved animal to their family vet for euthanasia, then on to one of the city’s established pet crematoriums for disposal.

Unless the owner takes the time to research their options, most wouldn’t know that other, greener options exist.

Victoria is home to the first pet funeral home in the world that offers alkaline hydrolysis or “aquamation” services. Instead of burning the body using fossil fuels, the process of aquamation uses potassium hydroxide, caustic soda beads and water to dissolve the organic tissue, leaving the bones behind. The family can then opt to have the bones ground into a fine dust and returned to them in an urn, or disposed of by the operator.

Jocelyn Monette started Pet Loss Care Memorial Centre, a full-service funeral home for pets, on a Saanich farm in January after a lengthy career in pet cremation.

“It’s not fun to burn animals,” says Monette. “I never liked the technology and I wanted something better.”

She traded in her flame-based crematorium for the PET400, a low pressure alkaline hydrolysis pet disposition

system created by Bio Response Solutions of Pittsboro, Indiana. She was attracted to the aquamation process because of its reduced environmental impact — not only does it produce one tenth of the environmental footprint of flame-based cremation, the byproduct (a sterile coffeecoloured liquid) “is very rich in nitrogen and pH” and can safely be disposed of in a sewer system, or in this case, be added to compost.

“It could go into sewage, but since there’s no treatment plant here, the CRD denied access. They recommended I speak with a compost operation or a farm.”

Pet Loss Care Memorial Centre is located on the Stanhope Dairy Farm in Central Saanich — one of the largest farms in the region, which is also home to a large-scale composting operation. The liquid byproduct is added to the compost.

“I’m giving back to the eco system,” says Monette.

Families have the option to have a private aquamation or to have it done communally. In both cases, the animals are placed in individual cradles so their bones don’t mix. The aquamation process is much more gentle on the bodies, too. After the process is finished and the effluent drained, often the bones are left completely intact.

The stainless steel aquamation system uses less ener-

W

gy and resources to produce and is designed to outlast a flame-based machine, which needs regular maintenance.

Pet Loss Care Memorial Centre was awarded a Greater Victoria Business Award for Innovation in 2011 for creating a full-service funeral home for MARY ELLEN GREEN family pets, and Jocelyn Monette and her pet Lucy. being the first in the region to video certify each cremation (Pet Loss Care used flame-based cremation at the time) and is also up for a Sustainability Business Practices Award by the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce in 2013.

Eat to support good cause LOCAL RESTAURANTS SUPPORT AIDS VANCOUVER ISLAND ON APRIL 25 orgive me if I go off topic this week, but I want to talk about an important fundraiser that will take place next week that I truly PAM GRANT hope you will participate in. pamgrant@ Dining Out for Life is an opportunity mondaymag.com to do something for yourself and your local community. Organized by AIDS Vancouver Island, participating restaurants will donate 25 per cent of their food revenues on Thursday, April 25. Funds raised will help to support persons living with HIV/AIDS. I think the first time most of us heard about AIDS and HIV was during a news broadcast in the 1980s.

I remember the whispered discussions and the panicked reactions from people who thought they might have it. It quickly became pegged as a gay issue by the type of people I like to call Flat Earth Society members — but of course, it wasn’t then, and it isn’t now.

It wasn’t long before the news invaded personal circles. I had a friend named Jimmy, a gloriously bitchy queen who ran a rival pub in the heart of London. He came home roaring drunk on Saturday night as most publicans do from time to time, naturally without his keys. The next morning, word spread quickly how he had pried open the window

F

and squeezed his tiny frame inside, only to land on his head and find himself locked in his cellar. We all laughed — there but for the grace of God and all that. The story was still making the rounds weeks later when we heard the news his blood tests had revealed he was in the later stages of AIDS. We were shocked; he was uncharacteristically stoic. Battle lines were quickly drawn, and I remember being stunned to find people I thought I knew turning their backs on him. Others I never dreamed would be supportive stepped up, visiting him regularly during the last months of his life in St. Mary’s Hospital, growing tinier by the day and, we thought, increasingly delirious.

One afternoon as we left, the duty nurse asked if we had enjoyed a good visit.

“Oh yes,” we laughed. “He told us the Princess of Wales sat on the edge of his bed last night and they talked about music for an hour.”

“Ah, well,” came the response, “she has a friend here who is dying of AIDS. She comes late at night, but if he’s asleep, she looks around to see if anyone else is awake on the ward and visits them instead. We’re not allowed to talk about it.”

A GOOD CAUSE Continued from previous page

Princess Diana sent a card when Jimmy died.

His family — who never visited — waved it around the service that, initially, they weren’t even going to have. It made me sick to my stomach then and, nearly 30 years later, it still brings tears to my eyes.

There were similar scenarios with other friends over the years. One tried to commit suicide because he couldn’t deal with the rejection from friends and the loss of his job. Another was so upset at the prospect of a small dinner party a month before he died because some “friends” who had been avoiding him for years had agreed to come, only to change their minds at the last possible moment.

The family of another friend from school days stated quite succinctly that there would be no memorial service when he died. My cousin and I organized one anyway. We were stunned to find people who had agreed to come changed their minds when they heard how he died, saying things like, “Did you say the 17th? Oh, I think I have a meeting that night.”

So, here’s the deal about AIDS and HIV: the hysteria has died down, but they haven’t come up with a cure yet.

Though things are better for sufferers in Canada than those in Zimbabwe, it is still a critical issue in our community, so please help by visiting one (or more) of the participating venues next week.

ver wonder what a prairie seashell is?

Let Dean Murdoch from Fubar teach you the art of the party Wednesday night at Club 9ONE9.

“You hold up a case of Pilsner to your ear and basically you just hear the party,” says Murdoch, also known as The Deaner.

“It’s like AHHHH! SHWOO! It doesn’t matter if it’s a case or a two-four. The two-four is a little louder, though.”

The prairie seashell is just one of the gems The Deaner spouts on his Twitter account (@ Dean_Murdoch), where his motto is “Givn’r to your Liv’r.”

The Deaner says there’s no real science behind givn’r, “It’s more math, really.”

“Everyone’s got their personal best — that’s what people don’t understand about partying. You compare yourself to someone, you end up passed out before you even leave the house. If I tried to go head to head with Andre the Giant, there’s no way I’d win. You got to find your inner champion, your top shape. Maybe that’s a six-pack, maybe it’s a six-pack, a joint and a couple shots of Jager.”

Deaner’s band Nightseeker, also from the Fubar

E

films, is a straight forward rock band. Fans can expect to hear a few tunes from the films, a few covers and maybe even “a campfire interlude in the middle of the show.”

There might even be a few tracks from the new record Nightseeker is currently recording.

Get your rockin’ ass down to Club 9ONE9 Wednesday night for the ultimate night of givn’r.

MONDAY GUIDE > FILM Documetary takes bites out of big issue 10-MINUTE VIGNETTES EXPLORE B.C.’S COASTAL REGION

By Colin Cayer arts@mondaymag.com

oastal Tarsands: The Dangers of West Coast Oil Tankers, a series of 10-minute vignettes currently in production by documentary filmmaker Richard Boyce, will explore bite-sized chunks of an issue that is overloading many — tankers in B.C.’s coastal waters.

The saturation isn’t surprising as Enbridge has RICHARD BOYCE spent $350 million on its current pipeline public Gil Island, where the Queen of the North went down. relations campaign.

According to Boyce, those “beautiful little That covers about 40 minutes of the proposed vignettes” are part of the problem. The digital 100 minutes of film.

Complicating the issue further, each of the super tankers is registered as its own corporation, making them individually responsible for any damage — not their parent companies. Brokers like Lloyds of London, who insure them on the premise that there will be a spill, individually underwrite each tanker.

An artful film noir

www.cinevic.ca

anny Boyle is an artful and creative filmmaker whose output has ranged from edgy fare such as Trainspotting to heartfelt Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire. His latest, Trance, is a nifty brainteaser that will appeal to anyone who likes their film noir with a sprinkling of hallucinogens.

And the acting is damn good, too.

James McAvoy stars as Simon, an art auctioneer in London who runs up such a load of gambling debts that he joins forces with a suave gangster named Franck (Vincent Cassel) to steal a Goya worth $40 million. Unexpectedly, Simon gets a bad bang on the head during the robbery and can’t remember where he stashed the painting. Enter Elizabeth (Rosario Dawson), a Harley Street hypnotherapist brought in to reboot his memory circuits.

D

This is a fascinating puzzle of a film and it requires your full attention as its twisty plot shifts from flashback to dream to hypnotic suggestion.

Trance has a gleaming visual surface that goes from swanky apartments to a recurring nighttime image of a red-lit highway cloverleaf that’s like an analogue for one of Simon’s inflamed synapses.

This sexy and slick movie has more than a few surprises, including a lover’s triangle that helps drive the plot to a shocking resolution.

HOROSCOPE > APRIL 21 - 27, 2013 A

ll Signs: This week there is a Full Moon in Scorpio on Thursday.

(Look out world!) Each sign has a different “energy” but four signs have a strong driving force: Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius and Leo. (Leo being the lightest and Taurus being the most dominant.) This means a Full Moon in Taurus or a Full Moon in Scorpio are the most intense Full Moons of the year. (The Full Moon in Taurus is when the Moon is in Taurus and the Sun is in the opposite sign of Scorpio, whereas the Full Moon in Scorpio is the flip with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio.) Capice? And hey, Venus and Pluto intensify everything.

Ah yes, it will be a hot, sexy time for many! (But not for those who think sex is between five and seven.)

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 All your energy is being held in reserve now because you are treading water, as it were.

You’re behind the scenes, waiting in the wings for something to happen, very soon. Reserve your strength.

Get your ducks lined up in a row. Because your power is cloaked now, you will feel challenged at work and possibly even challenged with health issues. Fortunately, an influence exists now that will help you improve all your close relationships. Despite the work and health challenges this week, conversations with others, especially in groups, are upbeat and optimistic. “Anyone for tennis?”.

MONDAY MAGAZINE APRIL 18 - APRIL 24, 2013 mondaymag.com

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Your focus is strong on money, earnings, cash flow and, possibly, something to do with your possessions.

Some issues related to these areas will come to a head this week, especially by Thursday’s Full Moon. It could involve debt, taxes, inheritances or disputes about shared property. Although it could be unpleasant, it will also be a culmination of something. Things will finally come to a head and, hopefully, be resolved. Meanwhile, look for ways to get a new job, earn money in a new way, or see new uses for something you already own. You are the most resourceful sign in the zodiac, which means you might take something and modify it or find a new use for it.

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 Well, this is a powerful time for you.

The Sun, Mars and Venus are in Taurus (soon to be joined by Mercury) and not only are they opposed by the Full Moon on Thursday, this week Saturn stares across the universe asking for the final score. It is sometimes discouraging when Saturn stares us right in the face. We feel blocked or thwarted, as well as physically tired.

Life seems to be too much of a burden. We feel world-weary, even to the extent that our health is challenged.

That’s because this is the end of a 29-year cycle. From here on, you begin a new, fresh cycle full of new opportunities with new adventures and promising new achievements. Bon voyage!

Safe journey.

CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 This is a popular time for you and you’re enjoying such warm friendships with others, a friend could become a lover. Competitive sports or some kind of physical, competitive activity with others is also likely. Your relationship with a group might change for the better. You might start to play a new role or be viewed differently by others.

You might become more powerful.

Nevertheless, relations with your kids (no matter what their age) could be challenging this week. You might butt heads or disagree. This kind of disagreement could arise between romantic lovers. Because things are coming to a head, a new course of action has to materialize.

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 This is a powerful time because a strong dynamic is taking place between your private life (home and family) and your public life (career and job). It’s a time of testing. Since around 2005, you have reinvented yourself. But now you have a good sense of who you are.

This means you have to move forward and figure out what you’re going to do with the “new you.” What will it be? Do you have a plan? Naturally, you have to solidify your home base and secure a home to support you so you can sally forth into the world with Leo panache and confidence. You can do this. In July 2014, lucky Jupiter enters your sign to stay for a year. This will be the cherry on the cake.

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 You’re exploring so many areas right now; some are travelling, others are seeking opportunities in publishing and the media, yet others are break-

ing ground in medicine and the law.

It looks good. Travel for pleasure will especially delight. Disputes about legal matters or shared property are likely.

But in the midst of all this, something is blocking you. It might even be your own fears and worries. Ah, the paralysis of the negative! Once Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile, within months other runners did it. Why? Because they knew it was possible! Do not fall prey to negative thinking. Instead, flip a switch by focusing on your achievements.

LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Planetary activity now hones your focus on inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and anything you own jointly with others. Within these areas, certain issues are coming to a head. This was inevitable. The time has arrived. Although you are well aware of guarding and protecting your own self-interests, they will be challenged.

Heed this advice: Don’t worry about the silly little details that are so irksome. Just focus on the big stuff. In the last analysis, that’s all that matters. This is also a passionate, sexy time for your sign. Gather ye daisies while ye may.

“If music be the food of love, play on.”

SCORPIO OCT 23-NOV 21 The only Full Moon in your sign this year takes place this Thursday. This could put you at odds with others, especially partners and close friends.

Most likely you will feel this tension building up on Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s going to exist but, of course, you have a choice. Your choice is your reaction to whatever triggers annoyance or impatience within you. You can be harsh-spoken and a demon, or you can use this as an opportunity to practice patience and be a role model for others, demonstrating grace under pressure. This is the win/win choice. This also signifies that you are setting out on a whole new cycle for the next 30 years. In fact, in seven years from now, your life will be surprisingly different!

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22- DEC 21 You’re busting thy buns to get better organized on all fronts – your private life, your work and even your health.

Naturally, you will succeed because motivation is everything. If you set your cap for something, your chances of getting it are far better because you have determination, focus and resolve.

(Natch.) Now here’s the tricky part: Although obstacles might threaten your health or your job, at the same

time, you have a chance to improve them. It all comes down to how you handle things and make your choices.

You have to know when to hold and when to fold. Remember that partnerships are favoured now and can support you. (“Spare change?”)

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 This is a playful time when many of you are focused on vacations, sports events, romance, the performing arts, creative activities and busy times with children. Romance looms big. (Be still my beating heart.) Some of you might meet a new lover, someone powerful and unforgettable; it’s quite a thrilling time. However, someone older or more experienced or perhaps even a particular group could be standing in your way. You can’t shake them loose. If this is the case, then face them squarely and deal with whatever arises.

Your first loss is your cheapest loss.

(That’s a very good rule of thumb to remember.) Then – move on.

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 You are totally focused on home, family and domestic matters. There is so much busy-ness – you’re surrounded by chaos and increased activity where you live. Some of you are entertaining at home, others are busy with renovations and redecorating projects because you’re keen to introduce improvements where you live. But relationships with parents and authority figures, especially within the family, are challenging, to say the least. (Don’t you love that euphemism?) Now you know why George Burns always said, “Happiness is a warm, loving, caring family in another city.” Don’t get caught up in petty details and ego trips. Take the high road.

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 This is a busy time for you, possibly hectic. Your daily pace is accelerating and your To Do list is growing.

Fortunately, you have a lot of energy to do this right now, and you also have a lot of charm and diplomacy to bring to the busy tempo of your life. Use this to talk your way into and out of things because you can. But do be aware – all this high energy this week makes you accident prone. You might say or do something and later regret it. Watch what you say and do. You might be tempted to overreact because someone is going to block you, with their hand right in your face. Don’t argue or give in to petty reactions. Be regal, classy and above all this.

Probiotics for Children

save

10

%

Probiotic – you may have noticed this word being used more and more these days, but do you know what it means?

Our bodies are teaming with bacteria and other microorganisms. In fact, your body is home to more bacteria than you have cells! While this thought could make you shudder, you should also know many of these bacteria are key players in maintaining your good health. They do all sorts of important jobs for us. To name just a few, our beneficial bacteria help us to digest and absorb our nutrients, aid our immune system, produce vitamins for us and inhibit the growth of dangerous bacteria.

The relationship between us and our bacteria is one that accumulates overtime, starting from birth. Babies are born without any bacteria. They accumulate the tiny cells stating with their trip down the birth canal and then with their contact with the world around them.

Contact with our mothers including breastfeeding is also an important way we acquire good bacteria.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when taken in adequate amounts, bring about health benefits.

Naturopathic Doctors have been using probiotics for a long time to help treat many different health concerns and it seems now that the general public and media are catching on.

More and more research is being done on probiotics to determine not only what types of health concerns probiotics might be useful to treat but also how much and which types of organisms are most beneficial for adults and children. There is more research on probiotics than can be adequately conveyed in this short article, however, a quick search of the journal Pediatrics, gives us quite a few good examples.

A 2008 study showed the use of probiotics might reduce the incidence and duration of respiratory tract infection in children aged 3 to 5 years old. In this study, children were randomly place in one of three groups, placebo, a probiotic supplement with one bacteria and a probiotic supplement with two types of bacteria. The supplements were consumed daily from November to April. In the probiotic groups, the incidence of fever, cough, runny nose, antibiotic use and number of days with symptoms of respiratory infections were all decreased compared to placebo. The supplement with two types of bacteria out performed the supplement with one type of bacteria.

To name just a few more benefits, other studies of probiotics have shown promising results in improving atopic dermatitis (a type of eczema) in children, preventing infection and even death in preterm infants and preventing diarrhea associated with the use of antibiotics.

Safety wise, there are few reports of concerns with probiotics in healthy children. Mild abdominal discomfort and flatulence are the most common side effects mentioned in trials. As mentioned, both the type of microorganisms used and the dose can vary depending on the age of the child and the goal. If you would like to use probiotics for your child, speak with your ND to find out which one is best for your situation.
