t’s one colour swatch too early for Pride in Victoria just yet, but as we wave the traditional flag goodbye at Monday, now is the brightest time to get everyone rallied for this year’s rainbow event.

The crown jewel may be the Danielle Pride parade and festival, startPope ing noon at Government and news@ Pandora on July 7 this year, but mondaymag.com there are plenty of events to entertain you before then.

On June 23, you could be “Opening The Blinds with Aysia Law,” a self-explorative writing workshop for Lesbian, Bi, Gay, Trans, Queer, Intersexed, twospirited and allied friends, ages 14-24. Preregister: registration@southislandpridecentre.ca.

That same day also celebrates Mr & Miss Gay Vancouver Island as well as Mr & Miss Paparazzi at Paparazzi Nightclub starting at 8pm.

June 28 to 30 will see the first ever “Reel Queer Film Festival,” a joint venture by the Victoria Film Festival, the Victoria Pride Society, Out In Schools, and the Camosun Pride collective. More: victoriafilmfestival.com. Don’t miss the secondannual CabarGay! on June 29, the best way to kick off Pride Week, complete with feather boas and over-the-top fun: facebook.com/cabargay.

This year, on June 30, First Unitarian Church, (5575 West Saanich) is holding a special GLBTQ Pride Service, which you can hit up before taking your pooch on the Big Gay Dog Walk along Dallas.

Play a game of Drag Ball on July 1 at Victoria West Park, with boys in high heels, girls in mustaches and a true battle of the sexes that will encourage everyone to come out for fun.

On July 2, take yourself “Pink Whale Watching,” with the Prince of Whales, then start “Celebrating Imperfection” with the Pride Comedy Show on July 4. And, on July 5 for one night, Celebrities Night Club in Vancouver will take over Sugar Nightclub and turn it into one huge party, featuring their own Go Go Boys and DJ Mattilda Ho. Pop by the Pride Week Breakfast at Santiago’s Cafe on July 6, then become enchanted by Pride In the Word later that day — a showcase of local word artisans and their abilities to tease, tantalize and evoke tears with their written prowess.

No need to just brew at home

Great news for everyone who loves the environment enough to make your own fuel — yes, that’s a thing — now you don’t have to.

Vancouver Island’s first and only bio-diesel blending station has opened in North Cowichan, Sale Effective June 20 thru 26, 2013

don denton

Pride is about more than just fun and games, but this year’s event week promises plenty of those as well.

thanks to the efforts of Cowichan Energy Alternatives, the Cowichan Bio-Diesel Co-op and the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD). The station, which is a local collection, processing and distribution center, provides bio-fuel from waste cooking oils and is embarking on phase one of its plan by offering services as a pilot project to the CVRD. In a few months, the station will then move into phase two and be open to the public.

“We’re really excited about this opening and being able to help the CVRD reach its goal of becoming 100 per cent carbon neutral for its entire fleet, a goal that the City of Duncan has already reached,” says Hassaan Rahim of Cowichan Energy Alternatives. “Our next goal will be to get a station in Victoria in the coming year.”

Biodiesel in its pure form (B100) can entirely replace the usage of fossil fuels, or can be blended with regular diesel to whatever percentage blend is required. The CVRD will be using a step process to take the fuel from B20 — which any diesel vehicle can use — to B100.

As Monday reported in our 2012 Earth Day issue, bio-diesel an important renewable energy solution that has seen a “home-brewing” resurgence in the last few years to deal with greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful pollutants. Pure B100 costs about $1.71 per litre with taxes, and stays consistent in price since it does not rely on oil reserves. However, Rahim says the station will have to pay a carbon tax to the government, even though the product is carbon neutral.

Calling all unwanted fruiT

LifeCycles Society is looking to adopt the fruit from all unwanted or unused fruit trees this year, as well as all unwanted money from any pocket able, to go towards its community support programs. The group hopes to raise $50,000 to pick 50,000 pounds of fruit this year. Help them here: lifecyclesproject.ca. M Monday’s Danielle Pope will be moving into the Oak Bay News (vicnews.com), starting June 21.

EE

hree years ago this summer, I entered the world of Monday.

It had been one of those publications I’d read studiously since landing, textbook first, in Victoria in 2004 — the kind of publication that was brought up in nearly every university lecture, modeled after by student magazine mock-ups, and celebrated with applause when any freelance-writing classmate was lucky enough to score a page. It sat on my dorm room floor, at my student newspaper desk and, later, at my apartment table. So when it opened its doors to me in 2010, my heart took up permanent residence in my throat.

Danielle Pope This last month, more than ever before, we’ve heard from residents, writers and news@mondaymag.com readers around Victoria who have kept that love of Monday in good company. And, with significant changes on the horizon, many Victorians are asking how this new breed of Monday will compare. (You can read about some of the details of what’s to come in the preview story on Page 6.) Some readers have written in applauding the decision, while others have left a few tears and jeers. It’s never easy to look down an unfamiliar path, but there is excitement to be found in change.

Nostalgia is the theme this week, though, and as we raise our glasses with the last traditional “Beer Issue” it’s a great time to reflect on some of the memories made and, to borrow Robbie Burns’ phrase, take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

In less than a tenth of the amount of time this publication has roused Victoria, I’ve had the honour of working with a handful of Monday greats, and have peeked into myriad worlds — from the politics of homelessness and bridge debates to invisible sex work, drug scandals, sewage issues, queer struggles, urinal arguments, ghostly haunts, welfare trials, eco-activism, mental illness triumphs, rock-star feminism and the stories of more inspiring residents than I can even list. It’s those stories that have made this magazine for almost 40 years.

So, before all the tissues are used up with any sort of weepy goodbye, this touching letter by long-time Monday reader Colin Craig sums it up best.

“I was a 17-year-old teenager when I read my first copy of Monday as I was getting ready to graduate from Mt. Douglas High School,” writes Craig, now 56.

“Victoria had never read anything like this before and it filled a void for local artists or musicians to show-and-tell us about themselves. Monday also focused on issues that mainstream newspapers wouldn’t touch in those early days. When Pride Victoria started in 1991, Monday Magazine was the only newspaper that covered us with interviews and photos that were taken long before there were enough proud people to fill a parade. I don’t think I’m the only one in Victoria that has been touched or changed by something read in Monday. There have been many, many talented and caring people that have been writing about all of us for almost four decades. Thank you. I will miss the old but I will look forward to the new.”

Cheers Victoria, and the thanks goes to you. M

Girl asks Guides to live by group’s own motto Young Victoria Girl Guide petitions the national organization to take GMOs out of cookies

M

aya Fischer believes in the Girl Guide motto.

She knows it by heart: I promise to do my best, to be true to myself, my beliefs and Canada; I will take action for a better world.

Now, the nine-year-old Saanich resident is asking the Girl Guides of Canada to follow it too — by removing GMOs from Guide Guide cookies. Fischer might be one of Victoria’s youngest people to speak out about genetically modified food, but her petition on Change. org, which started just two weeks ago, has already gained 795 signatures.

“I care about what my community and friends eat, and the Girl Guides of Canada Danielle Pope teaches us to take action for a better world, so that’s what news@mondaymag.com I’m doing,” says Fischer, who has been a part of the organization for four years, first as a Spark, then Brownie then Guide.

Since discovering her favourite cookies contained GMOs earlier this year, Fischer and her family have stopped eating them and have vowed to stop selling the products until Girl Guides of Canada addresses the issue.

“People are unaware that 90 per cent of all corn, soy, canola, beet sugar and cotton seed oils are made with GMOs,” says Linda Cirella, Fischer’s mother and a leader in her Girl Guide troop. “And what Maya is asking for is not that much — they could trade canola oil for sunflower oil, soy lecithin for sunflower lecithin and corn starch for tapioca or potato starch.”

Fischer and Cirella have contacted the B.C. Council Girl Guides of Canada, who, upon hearing about the petition have notified Cirella that, as a guide leader, she may be acting in a way that contravenes the guiding law. The council could not be reached by press time. Cirella says no official action has been taken yet, but every guide is expected to sell at least two boxes of cookies each year, and the mother

Maya Fischer (right) and her mother Linda Cirella have vowed to stop selling Girl Guide cookies until the national organization replaces genetically modified ingredients with natural ones.

Fischer’s online petition has nearly 800 signatures in support.

and daughter have made their intent not to sell clear.

Fischer did receive a call back from the “cookie guy,” who

reiterated that all ingredients in the cookies are approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

“We’re really not sure if we’ll be met with higher fees for not selling cookies, or kicked out for the petition or what, but this is an important issue and the signatures are showing that,” says Cirella. “The fact that they are telling us to ‘stop’ and take down the petition is telling, too.”

Fischer’s stand is the first of its kind in Canada, though the young activist got the idea after watching the 2012 film Genetic Roulette — The Gamble of Our Lives, which showcases a young American Girl Scout forging a similar petition. The film won the 2012 Movie of the Year award by the Solari Report, the Top Transformational Film of 2012

by AwareGuide and Fischer’s admiration.

“I saw the movie and thought, I want to do that, too!” says Fischer, who adds that she’s been aware of the impacts of GMOs for a few years now. “GMOs happen when genes from one thing are forced into another, and that doesn’t exist in nature. It changes the whole DNA code, and it’s not proven safe.”

Fischer and Cirella have tried to rid their entire house of GMOs, though Cirella says they are literally in everything, even in Fischer’s favourite veggie chips that the two had assumed were healthy. While Fischer’s Girl Guide group is aware of the petition, no others have vowed to halt cookie sales yet, though many of her friends have signed the petition.

“I think the real lesson we’ve learned here is that GMOs are everywhere, and you have to do more than read labels — you have to understand where GMOs are found,” says Cirella. “The Girl Guides of Canada are a grassroots organization that represents wholesomeness and standing up for what’s right. We really hope they hear that message.” M To sign the petition, visit change.org/petitions/girl-guides-ofcanada-take-all-gmo-ingredients-out-of-girl-guide-cookies.

t was William S. Burroughs, beat author and self-professed morphine addict, who said it best — “If we wish to annihilate the junk pyramid, we must start with the bottom of the pyramid: the addict in the street, and stop tilting quixotically for the ‘higher ups’ so called, all of whom are immediately replaceable.”

Simon Burroughs was arguing for the need to Nattrass cure The Junk Sickness — addiction, snattrass@ rather than endlessly picking off midmondaymag.com level drug dealers whose customers will simply go elsewhere to fill their need. Unfortunately, it seems like no one with the Victoria Police Force or the province’s gang squad has read the 1991 edition of Naked Lunch.

Last week, I wrote about the harassment of harm reduction service providers by officers with the VicPD. Volumes could be written on the continuing harassment of members of the street community, which have been thoroughly detailed in the Vancouver Island Public Interest Research Group’s ever-relevant report Out of Sight: Policing Poverty in Victoria. According to the report, “the existing marginalization, vulnerability and stigmatization that street-involved people face in their lives may be further entrenched when they are ticketed or charged for minor infractions.” Enforcement, not solutions seems

I’m into a lot of different beers right now.

Swan’s berry ale is great.

to be the approach at any level of the War on Drugs.

Recent weeks saw two major police busts. The first, carried out

by B.C.’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, involved two men in Langford in possession of large quantities of cocaine, GHB, pot, meth and 9mm ammunition. The second occurred at The Loft, a downtown art gallery and gathering space, and yielded pot, moonshine, and — judging by the photo provided by VicPD — a negligible amount of several other drugs.

While the first two admittedly don’t sound like the type of people you’d want to run into in a dark alleyway, Loft owner Chris Parent falls short of playing the heartless thug created for media coverage of the bust. In a recent interview, Parent was soft-spoken and polite.

He didn’t talk about gun fights or pushing meth to teenage kids — his stories were about seeing artists’ faces light up when they sold their first piece and giving street-involved friends a place to crash.

“We were using the moonshine for tinctures,” mentions Parent, listing off a dozen or so herbs that he kept around the gallery.

The alleged marijuana trade at Parent’s gallery would have had little impact on a region and a province already known for its potloving populace. According to police, shutting down The Loft “will put a dent in downtown drug trade as well as the disorder we are working hard to end in the area,” but just ask a dealer in another area how they’re enjoying their new clients.

Viva la Revolution!

BC BREWS ITS FIRST CRAFT BEER BIBLE

By Chris Bjerrisgaard

F

ive years ago, one would be hard pressed to write a 50-page pocket guide dedicated to the British Columbia craft beer scene, let alone find one on store shelves. Fast-forward to present day and first-time book author/ long-time beer writer Joe Wiebe strives to give his readers a crash course on the ever-evolving BC craft beer scene while keeping his page count near 200 in this impending release.

Reading that statement, you’d be forgiven if you thought Wiebe spends too much time waxing poetic about our local beer, brewers, and breweries. Upon reading Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to BC Breweries, you’d realize he is in the process of documenting a modern-day brewing renaissance that will require yearly updates if current trends continue.

Neatly divided by region, Craft Beer Revolution provides its readers with Coles Notes style summaries of every craft brewery in BC, from Princeton to Prince Rupert, Vancouver to Vernon. Those new to our beer scene will appreciate the short-form history, basic stats, and list of best beers, while card-carrying Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) members will feel the need for deeper detail than this book provides.

Each chapter gives readers the lowdown on at least three or four breweries, providing summaries of their top brews. Some breweries such as Central City and Driftwood have four beers listed next to their summary, while others such as Craig Street Brewpub only have two. Jumping to conclusions, one must assume this is done in order to keep the weaker brews in the province from being eviscerated by a well-meaning author, although there are hints of venom in a couple of his reviews.

In the long run this is the sort of book that will be earmarked, flagged, and scribbled on by the ever-growing craft beer newbie contingent. Meanwhile the older, grumpier, ”this used to be my scene and now it’s ruined” types will publicly begrudge the inevitable coming of age of a scene that was once theirs and theirs alone — while secretly leafing through the pages of Craft Beer Revolution in the comfort of their own homes, smiling as they think about just how far this whole craft beer thing has come. Viva la Revolution!

Error results in “growler tax” Liquor Distribution Branch remedy results in higher prices

By Daniel Palmer dpalmer@vicnews.com

A

t some point over the past decade, sourcing food from local producers became more about ethics than taste.

From the proliferation of farmers’ markets to community food box programs to artisan bakeries like Fol Epi and Fry’s, Greater Victorians have tapped into the knowledge that a healthy local economy means a healthy local community.

It’s perhaps this 100-mile madness that’s contributed to a recent increase of growler sales across the region’s nine brewpubs and microbreweries, with sales up 67 per cent across the province this year compared to 2012 numbers.

Sold by most breweries for a one-time price of $5 (not including fill-ups), growlers are 1.8-litre glass jugs that can be filled and refilled for anywhere between $11 and $15 onsite.

From April 2012 to April 2013, B.C.’s breweries and brewpubs sold 194,222 litres of growler-packaged beer products. That’s about $1 million in sales, according to the Liquor Distribution Branch.

And while the bang for your buck is comparable to a sixpack at the liquor store, growler use has exploded in popularity for obvious reasons, says Gary Lindsay, Driftwood brewery owner.

“Anything that connects people to the source of what they’re buying, it means a lot more to them,” he says.

In the good old days (2012 and the first four months of 2013), microbreweries were able to report growler refills as draught beer sales, which meant a lower tax rate was paid to the LDB and an extra 50 cents per sale stayed in the pockets of brewery owners for each returning customer.

It may not sound like a lot of cash, but with breweries like Hoyne Brewing Co. filling up “hundreds” of growlers each week, the pocket change adds up, says Hoyne’s admin-

istrator Chantal O’Brien.

Once officials realized the draught rate was being applied to beer not consumed on-site, they acted fast. As of April 1, growler refills were once again considered packaged beer sales.

LDB spokesman Vince Cournoyer describes the tax rate fiasco as an “error” that was remedied as soon as it was identified.

“The Liquor Distribution Branch applied sharon Tiffin a packaged beer mark-up rate on all growler Gary Lindsay, owner of Driftwood Brewery pours a beer and fills some growlers. fills from the time they were introduced by breweries, about 14 years ago, until January 2012,” he says. “An error was made which resulted in some breweries having the packaged mark-up rate applied to the first fill and the draught mark-up rate applied to subsequent fills.”

The Campaign for Real Ale in B.C. (CAMRA-BC) purports the tax mark-up hurts small business in a delicate but thriving industry (its campaign to reverse the “growler tax” is still active on its website with about 2,000 signatories).

B.C.’s liquor laws are overdue for an overhaul, as evidenced by the task given by Premier Christy Clark to her new Justice Minister, Suzanne Anton, to “immediately begin consultations with stakeholders on modernizing B.C.’s liquor legislation and regulations and bring forward options for reform to cabinet.”

While no timeline has yet been announced for the liquor law review, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said options could include converting the LDB into either a Crown agency or Crown corporation with its own board of directors. M

M

ore than 350 musicians are converging on Victoria from across the globe for the annual TD Victoria International Jazz Fest. And while the word jazz is in the title, don’t think this festival only has jazz to offer. With more than 80 performances on 13 stages across Victoria, this festival has something for every musical taste, whether it’s world, blues, R&B, soul, roots, groove or jazz that you crave.

Check out Jazzvictoria.ca for complete schedule and lineup or pick up a printed copy at Thrifty Foods.

Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet

H

ere’s a chance to hear trumpet and flugelhorn virtuoso Gabriel Alegria — one of the most influential figures on the current jazz scene in Peru.

This blend of Afro-Peruvian music puts a Latin twist on the African-influenced music of coastal Peru.

Alegria and his band are also giving a free workshop Fri., June 28. 4-5:15pm at Wood Hall.

Friday, June 28. 8:30pm Hermann’s Jazz Club (753 View)

Femmes Fatales Red Baraat

I

t’s hard to know what to expect from Red Baraat, but the one thing you can be sure of is that the eight-piece knows how to get the party started.

Their live show is a hybrid of brass band music and Bhangra rock with five horns and three percussionists, including their leader Sunny Jain who plays the dhol, an East-Indian marching drum.

Thurs., June 27. 7pm Centennial Square

Bettye LaVette

S

upremely talented soul singer Bettye LaVette is back from a performing hiatus and is stronger than ever. After touring with the likes of James Brown and Otis Redding as a youngster, LaVette fell into obscurity, and made a comeback with 2005’s I’ve Got my Own Hell to Raise. This is LaVette’s Victoria debut.

Gypsophelia

A

t the top of the Nova Scotia jazz scene is Halifax’s Gypsophelia, a sextet playing together since 2004. Gypsophelia’s original influence was the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, but they’ve since added elements of tango, klezmer, funk, indie rock and bebop into the mix. Bring your dancing shoes.

Wed., June 26. 9:30pm Upstairs Cabaret [12]

G

Serena Ryder

et ready to “clapa your hands and stompa your feet” with Serena Ryder. The toronto-born songwriter with the three-octave voice and three Juno wins has moved beyond her start as a folk artist and has carved a niche in the roots, rock and country genres.

Tues., June 25. 7:30pm Royal Theatre

Nikki Yanofsky

I

t’s been a few years since we heard Nikki Yanofsky belt out the ear-worm of an anthem for the 2010 Winter Olympics, but ask any Canadian and they can probably sing you a line or two.

Food and beer: PAIRING IS EASY, ONLY HAVING ONE IS THE HARD PART

C

onfused about whether to pair red or white with food?

That's nothing. Sure, you might be able to tell a Pinot Noir from a Pinot Gris, but can you tell a Dortmunder from a Dunkel?

My summer plans changed when The Guild opened last month. I planned to finish a massive “to do” list as I take a break from writing, but now PAM GRANT my first goal is to work my way pamgrant@ through their beer and food mondaymag.com menus.

When I showed the beer list to my friend Steve, I saw tears in his eyes. Local brews are well represented, Bottle Rocket India Session Ale (Phillips Brewing) Pots Pils (Moon Under Water), White Bark Whitbier (Driftwood Brewery) Lighthouse's easy quaffing amber ale, Race Rocks. Other new favourites include Hoparazzi (Indian Pale Lager) from Vancouver's Parallel 49 Brewing Company, and Berried Alive from Longwood Brewing (Nanaimo). For me, the darker the beer the better, so Howe Sound Brewing's Russian Imperial Stout Pothole Filler makes the cut. Sold in litre bottles, this packs a whopping nine-per-cent alcohol by volume, so be careful.

The Strathcona Hotel was the site of the first cocktail lounge outside of a hotel in Victoria and they still have the only hillbilly bar in town. Now in the hands of the third

generation of Olsons, the firsts have kept coming. Take the elevator or stairs up to the Surfclub and get a work out in on the city's premiere (and only) roof-top sandy volleyball court. If you would rather just take in the view and enjoy some legendary Strath hospitality, you can eat and drink well too.

Enjoy some barbecue fare including jerk chicken skewers or a generous Beach Hut beef burger seasoned with garlic and rosemary and topped with bacon and smoked Applewood cheddar on a brioche bun, chipotle laced tacos, handmade pizzas and more, all of which go perfectly with jugs of draft (try some icy Phillips Blue Buck) or choose from the list of domestic, imported and microbrewery bottles on hand.

For tables of three or more, receive $2 off every bucket of five bottles of your favourite. And remember, the party really starts once the sun goes down.

Born in northern Laos, Jess Keoxayavong husband Glenn Gibson noticed a gap in the local restaurant market a couple of years ago, and opened Lao Ventiane so Victorians could savour the unique flavours of traditional Laotian dishes in addition to some of the best Thai cuisine in town. Keoxayavong learned her craft from her mother and luckily you too can enjoy her amazing cuisine, which features intricate balance of textures layered with notes of heat, sour and richness that you might expect of a region bordered by Thailand, Myanmar, China, Vietnam and Cambodia. What you might not expect are the generous portions, truly fair prices and gracious service.

It really doesn't matter what you eat here, because it's all amazing, but you could start with chicken satay or spring rolls packed with vermicelli, ground pork, shrimp crisp vegetables and fresh mint with peanut sauce before spicy stir fried lamb with bamboo shoots, colourful peppers, mushrooms and fresh basil leaves, prawns and basa in a rich red coconut curry, sweet and sour tamarind chicken and noodles, addictive slow-roasted gai yang fragrant with lemon grass.

Everything goes well with an icy Beerlao lager (to my knowledge not available anywhere else in town) on the patio, draft Hoyner Pilsner and Asian and Canadian breakfasts are coming soon.

Open six days a week for lunch and nightly for dinner. 771 Vernon Avenue, 250 475-3522.

Victoria's Bengal Lounge is still the most regal bar in town for my money, so please don't arrive dressed in torn jeans or flip flops – dress code is business casual. That being said, it isn't all caviar and vintage Champagne here (though rest assured if you want it, they have it).

If you prefer a beer-worthy pairing from the à la carte menu, try mussels and frites with herbed mayo, or poutine featuring short ribs braised with truffled demi-glace and Comox Valley cheese curds with a glass of Phillips Phoenix Gold Lager, Vancouver Island Piper’s

elebrate National Aboriginal Day in Sidney, Fri., June 21.

The highlight of this year’s celebration is the unveiling of “Medicine Healer,” a six-foot marble sculpture of a First Nations woman created by prominent Vancouver Island sculptor Michel Beauvais (Kahnawake Mohawk band), and donated by the Winspear family. Beauvais will be on site for the unveiling and to participate in the welcoming ceremony, starting at noon.

Coast Salish artist Doug LaFortune will be on hand for carving demonstrations from 2-5pm., and works by Virgil Sampson, Charles Elliott and LaFortune will be exhibited all afternoon.

Kids can spend the day playing traditional Aboriginal and Metis games.

At 5:30pm, Beauvais will be welcomed onto traditional Coast Salish land (where the centre stands) — the home of the Tsawout, Tsartlip, Tseycum and Pauquchin bands.

Elliott and LaFortune, the artists who carved the four houseposts at the centre’s entrance will also take part in the welcoming ceremony.

The Le-La-La Dancers, a First Nations dance company will be performing at the Beacon Park Pavillion from noon to 5pm.

If you can’t make it to the Saanich Peninsula, visit Camosun College’s Lansdowne campus for a celebration kicking off at 1:30pm at the Aboriginal Gathering Place — Na’tsa’maht.

The traditional welcome will be followed by performances by Victoria’s Unity Drummers, the Ahousaht Drummers, a traditional medicine workshop with Delia Rice Sylvester, a kids market and a smoked salmon barbecue with bannock. The event is a collaboration between UVic’s Office of Indigenous Affairs and Camosun’s Aboriginal Education Community Connections Office and CUPE 2081. M

MONDAY GUIDE > FILM & CINEMA PERFECTLY POTABLE

Although not to everyone’s taste, the Greek liqueur ouzo is a classic drink for those who like libations with strong hints of licorice. Originally hailing from the fabled Isle of Lesbos — although a fiery and manly drink for all of that – ouzo reached a more international audience when absinthe fell into disfavour a century ago. Usually sipped straight up, this anise-flavoured spirit can also be mixed with water and served over ice. In Greece it is usually accompanied with a small plate of appetizers such as olives and feta cheese. The LDB lists only one brand, Tsantalis, which retails for under $23.

Let's talk, and talk and...

O

BEFORE MIDNIGHT WRAPS UP TRIOLOGY NEATLY ne of cinema’s most charming — and chatty — love stories began nearly 20 years in Before Sunrise when a wannabe American novelist named Jesse (Ethan Hawke) met a beautiful young Parisienne named Celine (Julie Delpy) on a European train.

After a few romantic hours they parted, only to meet unexpectedly a decade later in Paris, a chance encounter portrayed in Before Sunset. Trapped in the messiness of their individual circumstances, these seeming soul mates once again poured out their hearts to each other while walking the streets of Paris for one sunny, conversation-filled day.

And now, nine years later, we come to Before Midnight — and how things have changed. It is safe to assume that that reunion back in the City of Light ended on an electrifyingly erotic note, because these once-star-crossed lovers are now thoroughly enmeshed in each others lives, complete with adorable twin girls, a house in Paris, and a sexy but still angst-filled relationship that gives them more to talk about than ever.

The action has moved temporarily to Greece, where Jesse, now a respected novelist, is at the end of a six-week “writer’s retreat.” Several people are there and we are treated to lively and candid conversations, both in the kitchen and during a meal taken on a patio overlooking the wine-dark Aegean. Big topics like love and loss are discussed

by everyone from starry-eyed 20-yearolds to an aging widow, and everything seems imbued with wry wisdom in a timeless world where a ripely perfect tomato has as much value as the philosophy of Plato.

So, with themes of romance thus outlined, we follow our two loquacious lovers for a day and night. At the film’s beginning we learn that Jesse is anguished at being a long-distance dad (he’s just sent his 12-year-old son back to Boston where he lives with Jesse’s exwife). But Celine has no desire to live anywhere but Paris, and half-jokingly suggests that they are already starting to break up. And as their simple day unfolds the two have long, gloriously meandering conversations that flash with humour, passion ... and increasing moments of anger.

Midnight was written by Hawke, Delpy, and director Richard Linklater, and comes to a satisfying conclusion — especially for a one-off project never meant to be a trilogy. And given the enthusiastic response to this film, there is obviously a lot of interest in where Jesse and Celine may take their roller coaster romance in the future. M

The next 18 months are the perfect time for you to ask for a loan or mortgage or to borrow anything.

In fact, this window of time is the perfect time to consult an expert – a counsellor, doctor, lawyer or astrologer.

You might become involved with someone from another country or a different background. Those of you who marry or form new partnerships will likely be involved with someone older, richer or more established.

Aquarius Jan 20-Feb 18 You are looking at an 18-month stretch of time where you can improve your job. This means you can get a better job, or better duties at your existing job. If you have a dreadful boss, this person will disappear to Timbuktu. You might have more work-related travel that you enjoy. Basically, your job will become more fulfilling and rewarding and you will achieve satisfaction by doing your work. This same window of time is an excellent period for your health. You can expect to enjoy increased vitality and physical strength. This won’t come magically, it will probably come because you change your diet and start to exercise more or take up a new sport. Go, go, go!

Pisces Feb 19-March 20 All the fun stuff is coming your way! The next 18 months will a time where your creative selfexpression will blossom and you will find the courage to be yourself and do your own thing.

You won’t feel shy. Romance and love affairs will be promising and will totally expand your world.

(Yay me!) Many of you will take a major vacation because fun, pleasure and leisure activities will be a bigger focus for you. Some of you might expand your world through children – birth or adoption.

In fact, all your relationships with others will expand your world more than you ever dreamed possible. In two years, your self-confidence and assurance will be like Mae West’s, “I’ve been things and seen places!”

Basically you need some of the dry ingredients listed below to make up the bulk of the balls, some wet ingredients to stick them together and some sweet ingredients to make them taste good. I might use all of the ingredients listed below, or not, depending on what I have and how I’m feeling. I almost always use oats and oat bran as they add bulk and fibre to the balls but have less calories than the other ingredients, of course if you are concerned about eating grains you could make them without oats at all.

I start with a large mixing bowel and add my dry ingredients first.

Usually I start with oats and oat bran as they usually make up the largest proportion of the dry ingredients then I add other dry ingredients, nuts, seeds etc. I often do this with my 2.5 year old and let him add the ingredients, it’s pretty hard to go wrong so we make it up as we go! Then I slowly start adding the wet ingredients mixing as we go. I try to add the sweet ingredients slowly and taste the mix often so that we don’t add more sweet than we need. By the time you are ready to form balls the mix should be clumpy so that you can easily take a tablespoon full and roll it into a ball in your clean hands. Too sticky?

Add more dry ingredients. Too dry? Add more wet ingredients.

Once the balls are formed you might decide to leave them as is, or you could roll them in coconut or toasted sesame seeds. Store them in the fridge, they will keep for at least a week.
