FISHBOWL MAGAZINE JUNE 2023

Come and sit on the porch with us, forget about things like “electricity” and “being cool”. Oldtime music is in your soul without you even being aware. It is the music of your ancestors, passed down by ear through the generations. Crossing oceans, prairies, mountains. A combined effort of North Americans: those who were here first, those that came looking for a new life, and those who had no choice. Melodies, lyrics and dances combined to make a way to celebrate and connect.

We aren’t forging new ground, we’re honouring our musical heritage and passing the traditions to the next generations. When you hear this music you will feel it, the meditative rhythm that calms the mind and frees the feet.

These are hopeful songs of love, lighthearted songs of leisure, mournful songs of loss.

We play songs from all four corners of our continent: fiddle tunes from the NE, Cajun songs from the SE, vintage country and western swing from the SW, and pioneer ballads from the NW.

Forget your stylish dance moves. You will smile, shuffle or stomp. You will swing around the dance floor with a stranger, waltz in an embrace with your sweetheart.

This is truly community music for all ages and events. Music for dances, weddings, BBQs and memorials.

Drive safe and dodge those bucks!

We are Greg Duckett - fiddle, Catherine Black - banjo, Matt Lacarte - guitar, Alan Kerr - bass.

OMBRELLE Anti-Shine Cream

Every Spring the Sun hits us with a bang, we go from white to red to brown in an instant. I try my best to wear a coverup and big hat when out in it, especially between 10am and 3pm, but sometimes you’ve just gotta be out there. When you do I love a face moisturizer with SPF. This year I tried GARNIER OMBRELLE anti shine cream. With an SPF of 60 you’d expect some coverage. This product failed me in so many ways. First, I burned, like right away. And second, it has the slightest pink tint to it, didn’t even notice when I applied but when I laundered all my whites I had been using they all had a pink stain around the collar and sleeves. No mention of this tint on the packaging anywhere but some of the text is a soft purple….so I was stumped.

I promptly tossed it and went back to my fave EAU THERMALE by Avene, SPF 50, and lovely. Also available at Pharmasave.

Gillian McConnel Artist in Residence at Salt Spring Gallery

June 15 to July 3

The residency is focused on a body of work Gillian began a few years ago, called True Colours. The work is an exploration of colour as an embodiment of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states of being, as well as colour as symbol (sociological, political etc.).

The 3 week residency comprises an exhibition of work she has done to date that is part of True Colours. She will also be working on a new piece onsite during the residency.

There will be a fun activity for visitors that involves pairing words and colours, as well as a competition to ‘Name That Colour!’.

Gillian will be holding 2 x 3 hour workshop called Paint Swatch Poetry and one 6 hour workshop called ‘Between the LInes: Draw Your Heart Out’. Both workshops are designed to bring out the creativity we all have. Workshops are suitable for all creatives or wannabe creatives, including, but not limited to, visuals artists, artisans, writers, performing artists and musicians.

The residency drop-in is an opportunity for visitors to meet Gillian and engage in conversation. The artist talk will be a slightly more formal presentation but still with plenty of time for Q&A.

Friday 16 June: Live In Colour residency, opening reception 5-7PM

Sun18 June: Between the Lines: Draw Your Art Out, workshop 10AM-4PM

Tuesday 20 June: Paint Swatch Poetry, workshop 1-4PM

Little Known (Yet Essential) Facts About Emergency Contraception

The most common and well known option for emergency birth control is Plan B (a medication called levonorgestrel) . In BC this is available without prescription over the counter at the pharmacy, making it a readily accessible choice. What is NOT well known however, is that in 2014 Health Canada stated that Plan B is not effective for use in anyone with a BMI above 25. (Now, BMI is a flawed scale and methodology, but that should be the subject of another article). Given that a “normal” BMI is 18.5-24.9, it doesn’t take much to be above 25. To get an idea how this roughly corresponds to weight, this means that Plan B is less effective in those weighing 165-176lbs and not effective in anyone over 176lbs. This was quite shocking new information at the time (and may still be for you today). The alternative option is Ella (ulipristal) which is effective for those with a BMI above 25.

A second important note with both Plan B and Ella is that they are NOT effective if taken the day of ovulation or after ovulation. WHAT?! How many of you knew that? Plan B is often misused during this time (because of course, most frequently people seek emergency contraception during ovulation, when they are most fertile). This doesn’t mean it’s not ever worth using, because sperm can live in the vagina for up to 5 days, and if you ovulate during that window you may become pregnant. Plan B & Ella work by suppressing ovulation, so if you have already ovulated, they won’t work.

Viva Chorale! concert “O Love”

Viva Chorale! is directed by Caroni Young and accompanied by Shirley Bunyan.

ArtSpring, Saturday June 24, at 7.30 pm and Sunday June 25, at 2.00 pm

“O Love” Features songs of Love and Longing that are guaranteed to pull those heart strings. The concert will feature almost exclusively Canadian Composers and explores human love and love of place and community. This program will feature Elaine Hagenberg’s work of the same title “O Love”. Love of place will include many Canadian folk favourites as well as two new pieces that were commissioned by Viva Chorale Choir by Sarah Quartel and Donna Rhodenizer. Celebrate Canada with great beautiful Canadian music!

Tickets are $25 Adult, $5 Youth (18 or under) available at the ArtSpring Box Office.

There is one more option. The copper non-hormonal IUD can actually be used as a form of emergency contraception. This works because the copper creates an inhospitable environment for sperm implantation. As a result, the copper IUD is effective at any time during the cycle, not just prior to ovulation. Another advantage here is that with proper use Plan B/Ella are 95% effective if taken 24hrs after intercourse, and 85% within 1-2 days, declining to 58% within 2-3 days. The copper IUD can be inserted up to 7 days following the unprotected intercourse, and is more effective than either of these methods. Another advantage of this IUD is that then you have an ongoing effective contraceptive method (99.7% efficacy) that last 10 years.

The disadvantage of the copper IUD is it can be difficult to access. If you do not have a GP who is trained to provide IUDs you can seek this care through my practice at Madrona or at the Vancouver Island Women’s Clinic in Victoria.

Copper IUDs are recommended as the best form of emergency contraception for all women who have unprotected intercourse. Surprising but true! I hope you found this information enlightening, and I encourage you to tuck it away in your back pocket for when you or someone you know may need it!

Artcraft Opens for 55th Anniversary Year Opening celebration June 9 at Mahon Hall

'pathway' by rosalie matchett

Salt Spring Arts, the island’s community arts council since 1968, is excited to be kicking off another summer exhibition season with the opening of Artcraft on June 9. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the all-local arts and craft show – B.C.’s largest and longest running of its kind.

The annual show and sale features up to 100 artists and makers, all under one roof at historic Mahon Hall. This year Artcraft will welcome over 20 artists who have never been shown at the hall before, including people from Salt Spring, Mayne and Pender islands and regional Indigenous artists.

As part of its 2023 summer programming, Artcraft will present three Showcase Exhibitions on the Mahon Hall stage. The season opener is a joint show by Leslie Corry and Rosalie Matchett called Ingrained Patterns and Pathways. Leslie Corry’s sculptures in “The Travellers” series represent the impermanent lifestyle of a family of nomadic movers: a subculture without roots, an invisible tribe. The works are the outcome of a personal search for identity. They are made with discarded and found objects and materials which, with makeshift construction, describe the adaptable nature of the moving family. Rosalie Matchett presents a series of abstract encaustic paintings. In these works, the contrast of solid and semi translucent shapes, use of colour, the textural possibilities of the encaustic medium, and the fragments of figurative elements all function like a language, directing an emotional response to the work that is suggestive of the feeling of place, of memory and narrative.

Members of the public are invited to an opening celebration taking place from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, June 9 and an Artist Talk with Leslie and Rosalie on Friday, June 16 at 5:30 pm. Artcraft is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm through mid September.

Invasive Plant Drop-off

Sunday, June 4 at Fulford Hall

10am to 3pm

Here is your opportunity to drop off broom, gorse, blackberry, spurge laurel, ivy, holly and other non-native invasive woody plants. For newcomers to the island, broom is covered in flammable oils making it extremely flammable and a fire hazard that is difficult to control once ignited.

MythBusters! Sexual Health Edition

At Options, we are passionate about providing current evidencebased information so that our clients can make informed decisions about their sexual health. Here are just a few misconceptions that we commonly see at the clinic.

It is easy to tell if someone has an Sexually Transmitted Illness (STI)

False: Testing is the only reliable way to tell if someone has an STI. Most STIs are actually asymptomatic or show no symptoms. We recommend getting tested between new partners and/or every 3-6 months if sexually active. Condoms and other latex barriers reduce the risk of STIs, but they are not 100% effective, which is why screenings are a vital part of safer sex. Give us a call for an appointment!

The Morning After Pill is just like an abortion.

False: The Morning After Pill or Emergency Contraception (EC) is a form of birth control, not an abortion. It is designed to prevent pregnancy and only works before conception occurs. It is important to remember that pregnancy does not happen instantly, which is why the Morning After Pill can be taken within 120 hours or 5 days of unprotected sex. However, it is most effective when taken as early as possible.

EC works by preventing or delaying the release of an egg and changing the environment of the vagina to make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg. It does not terminate existing pregnancies.

Not having or wanting sex is unhealthy or abnormal

False: Abstaining from sex or even living a completely celibate life is normal and for many folks completely healthy. Healthy sexual expressions are about choice and if someone chooses to abstain from sexual relationships for a period of time or for their whole lifethat is totally okay! What is unhealthy is when someone feels like they have to engage in sexual activity before they are ready or if they are uninterested. There are many people who live fulfilling lives without sexual relationships, for example, those who are Ace or Asexual.

Douching is the only way to keep the vagina clean

False: Fun fact, the vagina is self-cleaning! That is why it is unnecessary to use soaps, douches, or other scented cleansers which can affect the vagina’s PH level and lead to bacterial infections like Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). The best way to keep the vagina clean is to gently wash the external vulva (the outside parts) with warm water or an unscented soap with their fingers or a clean washcloth.

The clinic is open Tuesdays from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Core Inn. We can be reached at (250) 537-8786 or opt.ssi@gmail.com

Windsor Plywood Salt Spring Announces New Business Partners

Windsor Plywood Salt Spring is excited to welcome Adam Geddes and Jess Harkema as new business partners alongside Mike Stefancsik, Ken Marr and Gordon McEwan.

Adam came to Windsor Plywood with 15+ years of experience in the hardware and building supply industry, starting his career with Home Hardware then Dick’s Lumber. Adam and his wife moved to Salt Spring just before the onset of the pandemic. He was a key team member in supporting the business through those challenging times.

Jess comes from a business background both in education and having owned her own business. In 2019, she returned to Salt Spring, where she was born and raised, for her previous role at the Chamber of Commerce. She joined Windsor Plywood in 2021, where she has been learning the industry and business inside and out.

Both Adam and Jess have been in leadership roles within Windsor Plywood since 2021, and helped to ensure the business survived the devastating fire in June 2021. They have succeeded in deepening our relationship with staff, suppliers and customers, and have been making positive changes for the business.

Windsor Plywood Salt Spring opened in 1976 and moved to the current Rainbow Road site in 1985. Ken, Mike and Gordon began their business partnership and purchased the business in 2000, and in 2019

Windsor Plywood expanded their operation to include the Beddis yard to better serve our community. Over the years Windsor Plywood Salt Spring received many business awards including “Store of the Year” among 60 other Windsor Plywoods five times over, and two times Business of the Year through the Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce.

In 2020, as the business celebrated 20 years of partnership, the three of them started looking at what the future holds and three years later, we’re thrilled to add Jess and Adam to our business partnership.

As a company, we’re very excited about this change. A lot of thought and time has gone into making this decision and ensuring it is the right decision for the business, our customers, our community and each other. Jess and Adam have a great understanding of our dedication to quality products, customer service, and to the Salt Spring Community.

We’re most proud that our business succession plan is to ensure Windsor Plywood continues to be locally owned and operated. This is the best option for the building industry on Salt Spring as it will allow us to continue to support our community, continue to be a leader in the business community and ensure that our business remains on Salt Spring Island. We truly value our local community and are happy to keep true to our slogan “deal directly with the owners”

The Only Sane Answer to the Problem of Human Existence

When Erich Fromm, the celebrated social psychologist, moved to Mexico City in 1950 his new students at the university described him as an arrogant, stern and irritable man who was quick to find fault. Within a few years, however, these same students noted that his face had softened and his eyes had become playful. He had, they observed, become a simple, kind and joyful man who loved good jokes and often convulsed in laughter over them.

What had changed?

First, after a period of intense emotional distress following the tragic death of his wife Henny, he had fallen deeply in love with Annis Freeman whose love opened him up as never before. Second, he had befriended D. T. Suzuki who communicated to him the heart of Zen not just through long discussions but, more importantly, through his simple and loving presence.

These two influences converged to inspire Fromm’s classic The Art of Loving which has since been translated into 32 languages and sold over 30 million copies. Based on the premise that “Love is the only sane answer to the problem of human existence” the book is organized around a radical redefinition of love not primarily as a feeling but as an “activity” or an “attitude” characterized by four fundamental qualities that remain constant regardless of whether they are oriented toward a lover, a child, a fellow human, oneself, god or the earth:

§ Care: a constant state of relaxed yet alert concern for the lovedone, inspired by a deep interest in their life and growth and happiness;

§ Responsibility: not just the ability to respond (the literal definition of response-ability) but the activity of being responsive to the needs, both expressed and unexpressed, of the beloved;

§ Knowledge: a form of intimacy (from the Latin intimare, “to make known”) gained primarily by means of “the daring plunge into the experience of union” which grants knowledge not just of the loved one’s “peripheral” emotions, like anger, but “core” emotions like the worry underlying anger or the loneliness underlying worry.

§ Respect: literally meaning to “look again,” respecting a lovedone is both seeing them as they are in their unique individuality and actively wanting them to grow and unfold for their own sake rather than according to our own wants and needs.

Fromm likens the process of developing these loving qualities to the process of mastering an art, like music or carpentry or medicine. Like any other art, loving requires practice, specifically of…

§ Concentration: the ability to devote high-quality attention both to the loved-one, mainly by means of listening, and to ourselves.

Shugar

After all, external concentration can only be maintained if we first develop a “sensitivity” to internal diversions (like fatigue or irritability) and then respond to them lovingly.

§ Discipline: loving presence is developed not just by means of daily concentration practices but by “discipline in one’s whole life” and by means of “a supreme concern with the mastery of the art.” In this way, each and every interaction becomes an opportunity to hone the skill of skills.

§ Patience: like an infant who falls again and again while learning to walk or a carpenter who spends hours planing wood before assembling lanterns, the development of disciplined concentration requires patience, which is also an expression of self-love.

§ Faith: the deep trust, first, that our beloved’s fundamental attitudes and motivations will remain stable enough to justify the risk inherent in committing ourselves completely without guarantee and, second, that our love will produce love and growth in the lovedone. Fromm calls these forms of faith “rational” rather than religious because they emerge out of a conviction rooted in our lived experience rather than submission to external authority.

Fromm’s universal definition of love as something we do rather than feel, and as a quality of presence that can be developed through practice has undoubtedly increased the quantity of love in the world immeasurably. Yet it also begs an important question: is love really a skill that is gradually built through constant disciplined practice, or is it a subtle yet fundamental level of consciousness that we can simply shift into? Is love constructed gradually through deliberate effort or is it a veiled yet innate capacity that can be uncovered like a dusty but luminous diamond? Is love, in short, something we do or is it what we are?

As is often the case when questions are framed in such dualistic terms, the best answer is probably… yes.

Salt Spring Island Public Library’s Program Room

What would you take with you if you were given a moment’s notice to pack up and leave your home, uncertain if you would ever return?

This question was a reality for about 22,000 Japanese Canadians living on the BC coast in 1942, including 77 people who were living here on Salt Spring Island.

Isomura’s multimedia exhibit brings us the experience and history of the Japanese Canadian community’s mass uprooting and internment in the 1940s in a personal way that we can feel and connect with.

Through her photography and video of the participants’ packing process, supplemented by local archival photos, we will learn about this dark chapter of Canadian history and connect with how it impacts us today. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the uprooting and dispossession of people around the world due to natural disasters, political instability, and war.

Kayla Isomura is a Vancouver-based photographer currently exploring intergenerational trauma and racialized identity.

Exhibition Opening and Artist Talk by Kayla Isomura

June 2nd Friday: Reception from 6pm Artist Talk from 7pm to 8:30pm

Kayla Isomura will share her personal account of the creation process of the project.

‘While this started as a question of dispossession, it more broadly became a conversation about the legacy of this history today, whether related to personal identity, family, community or global politics’ says Isomura.

Community Workshop facilitated by Susanne Hunter, MD, RCC

June 16th Friday: 5pm to 8pm.

Exploration of Intergenerational Memories - How Do We Relate?

A gently guided exploration of intergenerational and collective trauma and healing through the Japanese Canadian uprooting experience.

• What are signs in ourselves and others of carrying intergenerational and collective trauma? How does it affect our lives?

• What can we do to contribute to its healing in ourselves and in our community?

• What can we do when we experience or witness mistreatment because of race, gender, culture, age or status?

Preregistration required.

Please write to heiwagardensaltspring@gmail.com

Community Talk by Kirsten Emiko McAllister, Ph.D., Professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University

June 23rd Friday: 7pm to 8:30pm

Japanese Canadian Memory Projects: Rebuilding the Community and Recognizing our Responsibilities Today

McAllister will explore how the community’s wider pursuit of social justice requires us to go beyond our own experiences of persecution and examine our responsibilities to Indigenous Nations and our links to other groups facing persecution today.

Presented by the Japanese Garden Society of Salt Spring Island.

Sponsored by the Salt Spring Island Public Library. The exhibition’s community talks and workshop are funded by the Salt Spring Foundation.

Scopes

 Aries

You’re becoming increasingly aware of the unconventional ways people are referring to their loved ones and it is making you crazy. Significant other, or S.O. Why not call them “that thing I know” or “my buddy”. Cough cough Sarah.

 Taurus

Connect with a person next to you on the Shuttle Bus from Fulford. He or she might have a piece of wisdom to share that will change your life forever. Oh wait sorry, that’s not wisdom that’s an odor that sticks. Wow!

 Gemini

This month you won’t know what to believe. Things that are true and things that aren’t true all seem to be blending into one giant story. Luckily nobody else knows if they’re true or not. Just go with it!

 Cancer

Your greatest quality is generosity. With Mercury in your Third House of Giving, now is the time to give without expecting anything in return. Please send all cheques to... wait not cheques, please send all cash to... The Fishbowl Magazine.

 Leo

Make sure to ignore that little voice in your head that fills you full of self-doubt and if you need, yell at it, even if you are in line at Country Grocer.

 Virgo

The planets align to give you the drive to complete any task. You will be a lot happier if you clean your room and wash your dishes. And yes, your roommate paid the me a great deal to say this but seriously, you need to get cleaning!

 Libra

Make sure to listen carefully to your dreams. Becoming a prince impersonator is always the right choice and chicks and guys will dig it. Break out those yellow assless chaps!

 Scorpio

You may find your wheels are spinning and you are going nowhere fast. Just remember to step back and realize that the chain on your bicycle has been broken since last fall. It is likely time to take it to get fixed.

 Sagittarius

Just remember a little bit of birth control can go along way to avoid a major mistake. Oops, I meant self-control. Ah, tomato, tomato.

 Capricorn

We hope this months Spring cleaning helps you accept the fact that you really are a hoarder the rest of the year.

 Aquarius

What the hell is The Water Bearer? Aquarius you so got the shaft. Your unorthodox methods can get many a goal accomplished, however, sometimes those methods include sitting around a lot and kind of being lazy.

 Pisces

The equilibrium of Saturn’s seventh moon alignment with Neptune puts the sun in your water axis this week. That could go either way, so try not to do too much speaking or walking or living.
