Kathy Stack releases new album

“Salt & Sugar”

Club a few times. But a true highlight was playing the UN conference Habitat with Ann Mortifee.

Kathy’s latest cd Sugar & Salt is her fifth recording of her original songs. Sugar & Salt CD is a mix of story songs, some about Salt Spring characters, struggle and closure songs, and of course love songs. “It’s a range of styles, folk, folk rock, country and blues”.

Kathy started writing songs at 16. “I was mad about Ian and Sylvia and Joan Baez. A friend taught me some guitar chords so I could learn their songs. Fooling around on the guitar, I’d sing random words and suddenly had a song”.

Like many island artists Kathy played with a bunch of

different groups over the years. Most notably was a tour of BC prisons with the Sodbusters in the 70s. “Our tour of BC prisons was funded by a LIP grant. The women’s prison was the most vocally appreciative. We went out to prison farms and forestry camps. One prison guard in Kamloops put us up, fed us and filled our gas tank so that we could go to an outlying camp. So kind! I was terrified the first time when we had to go through a series of locked doors. But the prisoners and guards were all very polite and appreciative”.

Of course, Kathy did a tour across Canada opening for Valdy. “The trip with Valdy was amazing. Not only did we get to see some lovely country, and play in wonderful venues, but Valdy arranged for us to tour a wooden boat factory in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. We did a French folk song at the Palais Montcalm in Quebec City. That was a huge hit. Claire Lawrence accompanied both Valdy and me on saxophone and flute, what an intuitive, smooth player. I sang background vocals on Valdy’s recording of Rock and Roll song”.

Kathy even played in a few Rock’n Roll bands.

Islanders might remember Kathy the most from her time as the ‘Stack Sisters’ a duo with her sister, they made a few cds, toured the Salish Sea with Valdy, Graham Wardrop a New Zealand guitarist and songwriter several times.

Of course, she graced the stages of the Salt Spring Folk

Pharmasave

Supplements During the last 18 months, what have you done to boost your immune system?

I’ve worked hard to get outside with the kids and the dog daily, rain or shine.

Fresh air and exercise have saved my sanity and contributed to our overall wellbeing.

I keep the counter and fridge full of fresh, local when possible, fruits and veggies.

Keeping them visible makes them easy grab and go snacks for myself and the family.

And to round it all off I, as always have included Vitamins and Supplements to our health regime. I get chewable D3 and C for the kids and hubby, regular for moi, these we take year round as directed. Zinc Lozenges are great if you feel that annoying tickle in your nose or throat as I am sure most of us did during those first months back to school and bonus, everyone likes them. And for Mama only, Oil of Oregano, pro tip, buy some gel caps and fill on demand and pop to avoid the awful burn of the oil itself.

As you all read last month I am a big fan of Pharmasave brand products but they carry a variety of great brands as well, like Webber, Jameson and more. Do you your research and stock up, Cold and Flu season is here.

Live on Stagein November

ArtSpring continues to showcase exceptional dance, music, and theatre, from across Canada this month.

Leading contemporary Indigenous dance company, Toronto’s Red Sky Performance, bring us their breathtaking Trace, described as a highly kinetic dance about all things traceable. The piece maps Anishinaabe sky and star stories, offering a glimpse into origins and future evolutions. The piece was created by artistic director Sandra Lalonde over a two-year period, and won the company two prestigious Dora Mavor Moore Awards for outstanding choreography and sound design. Don’t miss the one performance of this exhilarating production.

Friday November 12, at 7:30pm.

Acclaimed guitarist, and one of the finest songwriters in Canada, Stephen Fearing, will be entertaining and educating music lovers and musicians, with a concert and songwriting workshop. The one-day workshop includes a look at the structure and arrangement of a song, exercises to kick start the writing process, and how to deal with the inner critic. Spaces are limited. Wednesday November 24, 10am-5pm.

And Stephen will be performing a solo show for one night only on Thursday November 25, at 7:30pm. Come and be spellbound by one of Canada’s great musical storytellers.

Performers just starting out on their musical journey are on stage the following night. ArtSpring’s Makana Youth Choir – for young singers grades 2-5 – will present what they’ve been learning during the fall term, under the expert direction of Caroni Young. Friday November 26, at 7:30pm.

Our final show of the month is one we’ve long been waiting for – part two of Jeffrey Renn’s autobiographical one-man play about the British-Canadian poet Robert Service. This second part throws us back into the world of Service, a young man contemplating life and igniting his passion for language in the Scottish countryside. Three performances: Tuesday November 30 – Thursday December 2, at 7:30pm.

Sweet Spot

with Seth Shugar

Visiting the Invisible One Within Over the last few decades an increasing number of psychological models have begun to emphasize what the wisdom traditions of the world have long recognized – that accessing a “transcendent” or “observing” sense of self (i.e. a curious, compassionate and wise inner perspective from which we can either passively witness or actively take care of ourselves and others) is absolutely crucial to both healing and growth.

In Internal Family Systems therapy, for instance, this capacity, which is referred to simply as Self, is regarded as “the healing agent of the psyche.” Similarly, in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy it is considered the “key to psychological liberation.” Early in the twentieth century, Carl Jung came to a similar conclusion and called this sense of self “the Self.” Same with Roberto Assagioli who called it the “Higher Self.” And Carl Rogers who referred to it as the “transcendental core.” And Eugene Gendlin who called it “presence.”

And D.W. Winnicott who called it “True Self.” And transpersonal psychologists like Abraham Maslow, Stan Grof and Ken Wilber who refer to it as “the Witness” or “pure Presence” or “pure Awareness.”

And A.H. Almass who calls it “essence.”

Long before the field of psychology ever existed, virtually every spiritual tradition in the world also underscored the importance of accessing this crucial sense of self, pointing at it with a variety of different terms. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam it is generally referred to as spirit. In Buddhism it is called bodhicitta or Buddha Nature or, paradoxically, not-self. In Taoism, it is referred to as the Tao. In Hinduism it is called Atman. In many indigenous cultures, it is called The Great Mystery.

Whereas most spiritual traditions and some psychological models believe this sense of self exists as an innate and fully developed essence in everyone – regardless of attachment history, diagnoses or trauma – the researchers behind Relational Frame Theory, a cutting-edge theory of human language that is based on over 300 studies, account for its existence in entirely secular materialistic terms, arguing that it is a natural side-effect or felicitous by-product of language acquisition.

Regardless of how it comes into existence, recent research has proven that experiencing this sense of self is conducive to not only healing but health and growth. For example, in a 2017 paper entitled “The Varieties of Self-Transcendent Experiences” David Yaden and Jonathon Haidt summarize a number of studies that have empirically verified that experiencing what they call “the transcendent state of consciousness” is related to positive mental health – including a greater sense of purpose, better health, positive changes in family life and reduced fear of death – as well as motivation for increased altruism and prosocial behaviors.

So how do we access this sense of self, so crucial for healing and growing and awakening? Traditional means include meditation, prayer, breathing practices, yoga, dance, sacred sexuality, fasting, drumming, awe-inducing experiences and the ritual use of plant medicines. But here are a few other simple, and sometimes remarkably quick, methods of accessing it: 1. Unblending: Check to see if you are charged up with any feelings or entangled in any thoughts at the moment. If you are, find where they are showing up in your body. Now focus your attention there and gently ask this part of you to open some space inside or soften back so you can get to know it. You could also imagine moving back internally from it or see an image of it at a distance from you.

If it won’t separate from you, you might visualize it in a room to

provide a container for it.

If it still won’t separate, ask what it’s concerned might happen if it did and then explain to it the value of relaxing back and reassure it about its fears. When you are feeling curious, open and compassionate, you are in Self.

2. Notice Who’s Noticing: Notice your breath or your thoughts or the sensations in your hands or feet. Now take a moment to notice who is noticing. Become aware that there’s a “you” in there, a “you” behind your eyes who is noticing all this. While your breath and thoughts and sensations are constantly changing, see if it’s true that the “you” who notices them remains relatively continuous.

3. Awareness of Spacious Awareness: Unhook awareness from thinking and let it focus on hearing the sounds coming to one of your ears. Focus neither on who is hearing nor on what is heard, but on the simple sensation or vibration of sound in this one small area. After a few moments, shift your awareness from hearing to the space through which sound is coming and going. Become interested in the objectless space through which sounds, thoughts and feelings are moving. Let awareness rest in that open space. Notice the effects.

SHOP LOCAL

Invest in your island's future.

As a busy working mom of 3 the draw to shop online at a “onestop-shop” has been appealing to say the least. But as a business owner I know the shift in behavior over the last 2 years can and will cripple some of our mom and pop shops. This holiday season I ask you to imagine Ganges and Fulford Village without all the unique shops and storefronts and make your decision to shop local as often as possible.

Small businesses, especially in the case of retail stores and restaurants, are often major contributors to the continuous fundraising.

Many donate regularly to sponsor your child’s sports team, arts program and so much more, all reducing overall costs for you.

I wanted to also touch on those businesses who had no choice to pivot to an online store, these still remain local companies deserving your support. Many offer free local delivery or pick up, so don’t count them out.

Remember Small Business is the heart of our community!

Did you know when you spend $100 at a local business between 68-75% of that money stays local and recirculates thus stimulating the local economy.

Please please please source your Christmas locally and whatever you do, DO NOT shop on Amazon.

From the Editor: Genevieve Price

If you drink wine, drink local wine.

If you eat pie, eat local pie.

If you use soap, use local soap.

If you eat chocolate, eat local chocolate.

If you drink coffee, drink it from a locally made mug.

If you love stylish eyewear, buy from a small business.

If you like fashion, buy from a local storefront.

If you like giving gifts, build beautiful baskets full of unique locally sourced items.

If you’re Santa, fill your stockings with local!

Astra

by Cedar Bowers

Featuring Jen Redpath & Jessica Terezakis

Mishka’s

Book

Reviews with Mishka Campbell

For the record, I already had this book on my TBR list. This was before it was long listed for the Giller (unfortunately it didn’t make the short list, but still, what an honour for a debut novel) and also before I found out Cedar Bowers is married to fellow writer Michael Christie (and I’m a fan). I just want to be clear there’s no favouritism here.

I actually picked up this novel because I was intrigued by the premise. Astra is a novel in which we peel back the layers of the central character, as told by the people who know her. Each chapter is a different person’s story, and is told chronologically, beginning when Astra is in utero. We only see her through their eyes, and of course, depending on the relationship, and what occurs in each chapter, our impression of Astra either blossoms, or is diminished.

As a method of storytelling, it’s brilliant.

Astra’s life is fascinating, and is likely to resonate with anyone from the West Coast, as we’re uniquely positioned to understand any geographical references, especially her early years spent on a remote commune. As interesting as the story itself is, I was most delighted by what wasn’t said. In each chapter the reader must piece together the plot to deduce how much time has passed since we were last with her, and also grasp what her connection is to the character whose story is being told. I don’t mean to make it sound like work…it’s not. It’s kind of exciting. It feels like a new leaf is unfurling, and we’re lucky enough to be witness to the exact moment it reveals itself, but it never fully does while we’re watching.

Because even though we’re looking straight at her, we never see Astra dead on. It’s as though she’s only able to be viewed through sideways glances; she’s something in the corner of your eye, and when you turn your head, she disappears. In each chapter, we think we know her. You say to yourself, oh THAT’S Astra; she’s damaged; she’s complicated; she’s vulnerable; she’s direct; she’s guarded; she’s child-like; she’s fierce; she’s loving; she’s distant. Until you read the next chapter and realize that maybe you don’t have the whole picture. In your search for clarity, you won’t be able to put this book down…forgetting nobody knows anybody. Not that well.

MO-vember is upon us and that doesn’t just mean a fancy new moustache! Let’s use this month as an opportunity to celebrate and bring awareness to male health issues.

Although most of us connect November to mustaches it’s important to remember its original intention: raising awareness and funding for men’s mental health, prostate and testicular cancers. We don’t have space in this article to share the many reasons why men seek out less health care than women (most of which are related to the patriarchy), but we do want to give an overview of services and reasons why seeking healthcare for all bodies is important.

It is time for us to stop telling men to “Man up”. Research shows that men account for 75% of all suicides in Canada and that they are three times more likely to suffer from addiction and substance use.

Despite these statistics, men are less likely to seek help or treatment.

Why is this? A big piece is the stigma around men’s mental health and a lack of free and accessible services. There needs to be more political and public attention and especially education dedicated to men and boy’s mental health. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, listen without judgement and gently encourage and support them in seeking out other resources.

These are some of our favorites: https://menshealthfoundation.ca/mens-health-services/ https://headsupguys.org/ Island Health Mental Health and Substance Use team is available and can be reached for self referral at 250-538-4711.

And the Vancouver Island Crisis Line: 18884943888 In Canada, research shows that 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Some easy ways to prevent and improve prostate health include; eating a plant based diet, or limiting red meat; keeping active such as hiking, walking and yes, sex can also be a great way to keep your body moving!

Testicular health is best monitored by guess who? The person with the testicles (also known as: junk, nuts, balls, gonads).

Similar to breast examinations (which people with a penis should also be familiar with, as it happens to all bodies!) the best way to catch abnormalities is to look at the testicles on a regular basis, sometimes I suggest on the 1st or 15th of every month taking the time to inspect your junk. Seriously, 2-5 minutes in front of the mirror, stretching out the testicle sac and feeling them all over can be the best way to get to know what is normal, then if changes are noticed the person can speak to their family practitioner.

High-dose nutrient IV therapy One of the fundamental philosophies I bring to my practice is a deep belief in the body’s capacity to heal itself.

Nutrients are the essential building blocks for ALL your physiologic functions, including overall metabolism and energy production, hormone synthesis, immune functioning, and neurotransmitter production. One of the unique therapies I offer in my naturopathic practice is nutrient IV therapy. This treatment involves delivering a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids intravenously, meaning this solution goes directly into the bloodstream.

We give your body plenty of what it needs, and it knows what to do.

This allows us to bypass the digestive system which, even when functioning optimally, has a limited capacity for absorbing nutrients. Higher doses of vitamins, minerals and amino acids can be delivered to your body via an IV than can be absorbed by your

I see my role as a doctor as facilitator – I don’t heal your body, your body heals your body. I just help you create the right conditions. And IV therapy is a potent way to do this. Through an IV we can deliver a large quantity of building blocks (aka vitamins and minerals) needed for tissue repair and function.

I offer a variety of types of IVs, customized to each patient and their particular needs. I find this therapy particularly helpful for patients who have low resiliency, anyone with a chronic disease, and for support following any surgery or physical injury.

NATURAL SPRING WATER

Art of Andromeda

Born in the prairies, raised on Salt Spring island and now settled on Vancouver Island, mixed-media artist Andromeda is known for her powerful, bold, and colorful works that are often as profound as they are playful. Andromeda is notorious for her bold uses of colour, patterns, florals & textiles which she uses to create a multitude of eclectic items such as; paintings, jewelry, bags, clothing, canvases & more. As a self taught artist Andromeda has been developing, experimenting and discovering her processes and her style for most of her adult life. As she’s evolved and grown into her own unique and never before seen style Andromeda is taking risks and pushing boundaries. Her use of materials sets Andromeda apart not only in her techniques but in the concepts as well. Everything created by Andromeda is inspired by a deep connection to nature, specifically flowers, where she finds the diversity of their colours and shapes to be the most exciting. Every colour in the world is found in nature and the brilliance of those colours cannot be contained. To ensure you understand this love, Andromeda maintains a steadfast and diligent use of them in her pieces. All canvases are layers upon layers so the eventual outcome is unknown until finished.

Her work includes the use of recycled and repurposed materials from all different sources. Whether it be actual dried flowers or in the use of plant based dyes (handmade by Andromeda) she makes every effort to include natural products in almost every piece. As a burgeoning artist just coming into her own, Andromeda is excited to be combining all her platforms of artistry into one place where you can explore the multitudes of levels of her creativity. You can find them all at www. artofandromeda.ca Denim, fabrics, lace, vintage jewelry, plants, flowers, paint, plant based dyes, pictures, chain, pearls, shells, rope... these are just some of the materials she deconstructs and combines to create her pieces. Never to be duplicated, each piece, whether it is an embellished denim jacket, a pair of crystal earrings, a beautiful rope basket or a mixed media canvas, all are a one of a kind item.

We are all a work in progress & we are all a treasure waiting to be found. xo Recently Andromeda has been pushing her own boundaries in the size and the message of her pieces. Her newest work was created and is currently being juried for the Luxembourg Art Prize 2021.

"Lupa" - Faux leather, chain, fabric flowers, real dried flowers, paper flowers, vintage jewelry, gems, pearls, crystals, acrylic paint and lace from a vintage wedding dress are the textiles used to create lupa on a 20” x 16” canvas and framed with a vintage oak wood frame.
