If you’ve been reading this column for any length of time, Poppets, then you are probably expecting a Thanksgiving article. Perhaps not a traditional one, but one nonetheless. The last thing I want to do is disappoint. While I have a problem with the mythos behind Thanksgiving, I do use the month as a reminder. A time to be deliberately aware of the many reasons I have to be thankful. Because, try as I might, to be aware and deliberate the rest of the year, it is easy to become distracted and complacent. Whereas November forces me to take inventory of my blessings. So, in the spirit of giving thanks –if not Thanksgiving itself –I give you the First Five Reasons I Am Grateful This November. 1. The LGBTQ peoples who have come before –and come out before –us. Who paved the way for us to have any chance of living safe, open, self-actualized lives. Being out is a privilege many still don’t carry, but none of us would if it weren’t for those who came before. 2. Allies. True allies. The ones who listen, as well as speak. The ones who speak even when it’s unpopular. The ones who face personal and professional backlash –and speak anyway. 3. Moderate politicians. The men and women who are willing to acknowledge that their party, their viewpoint, their background, is not the only valid perspective. That we are a nation of great diversity, and embracing that will get us further than petulance. 4. The democratic process. I know, it seems to not be working really well recently. But I am grateful for it anyway. I’m grateful for the opportunity that arises every two, four, or six years for us, as a society, to take a step back, move away from the cliff, admit our mistakes, and elect someone else to office. That when a wave of insanity sweeps a state, or a region, it doesn’t have to be permanent or require armed revolution –at least not so far. 5. And finally, Betty Desire. Yep, our beloved Betty. Whose voice has never wavered. Who provides a platform for so many of us (often for more years than we’d like to admit). Who is a safe place, if you are out and proud, or questioning and scared, and everything in between. Who offers love and acceptance –all while rocking pearls Barbara Bush would adore. There you go, Poppets. My first November five. Because however you feel about Thanksgiving, giving thanks is a good thing. Until next month, Poppets, take care of you –and each other.
The Betty Pages sent 3 questions to Candidates for the Bellingham City and Whatcom County Council Candidates. Here are the responses we have received as of our press deadline. Q: It has been in the news as of late that Pierce County is having trouble filling space in their brand new multi-million dollar jail. Cities in Pierce County have been contracting space that charge them less per inmate. Pierce County is proposing to lay off workers and close 2 units of that new facility in order to erase a revenue shortfall of $4.2 Million dollars. Whatcom County is proposing building a new jail facility. What is your stand on the new jail proposal, and
how can Whatcom avoid falling into the same “cost saving” sink hole Pierce County is experiencing? Q: Fast Food Service workers across the Country have been striking to press for a livable minimum wage. There is a measure on the Ballot in Seatac to set a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour for workers in the Service industry in the Airport district. (limited to Hotel workers, Park-
ing attendants and Rental Car workers) What is your stance on a livable minimum wage? Q: Always a difficult balance, how do you propose attracting living wage jobs to our area while protecting the unique environmental qualities we all enjoy?

November! Get ready everyone the end of the year is screaming toward us like a rabid Zombie! I have such mixed feelings about November. There are the Municipal Elections at the beginning of the Month (you will find reprints of our candidate questionnaire we sent out in October) then in the middle your miss Betty turns a year older (November 18th) then a week or less after that marks the beginning of the dreaded “Holiday Season” Thanksgiving followed by Black Friday. I know that Thanksgiving isn’t that stressful for most, but my concern is for those who have no family in the area or those who’s families have banished them from the clan. Yes this is 2013 and we have come a long way baby but even now there are Gay and Lesbian people who are dreading that dinner with “the relatives” and progressives, or even (gasp!) liberals that will have to endure Fox news and conversations about “that Muslim other” in the White House. I doubt that Norman Rockwell had this in mind when he created his famous works of Americana we all love. I am sure that the shoe fits on the other foot as well. I am sure there are Conservatives that dread going to their “hippie pot smoking grandparents house for the Holiday. Still we make that journey, and the majority of us find a way to set aside our differences and celebrate the family. Wherever you are on the spectrum, there is always something to be grateful for. A tradition in our house is to open Thanksgiving for all we know who for one reason or another have no place to go. It turns into a potluck shared by as many as 16 to a few as 4. (16 people in my small apartment is a houseful.) There is usually Turkey with all the trimmings and copious amounts of spirits. We tend to solve all the worlds problems over a glass or 5 of wine, and this year there may be “adult brownies” added to the mix.. After all is said and done it is my hope that my guests leave with a sense of comradeship and community. For all the bravado of “independence and self reliance” bantered about, the bottom line is we are social beings with a deep need for belonging. There is blood family and chosen family, both are equally important. I am thankful for my kids, grand kids, parents, and friends. I am grateful for everyone that has crossed my path. The interactions with all in my life helped create the person I am today and although far from perfect, I am OK with where I am on life’s journey. It is my hope that we all find what we desire and celebrate the odd quirks that being alive in the 21st Century ll brings us. Happy Thanksgiving!

a decade to be annexed into the city. Unfortunately, Bellingham has not acted, stunting economic development and harming those willing to invest in our community in a positive manner at the same time. Also, Bellingham must work to speed up the regulatory process to a reasonable length of time. Often, developers and expanding business owners spend inordinate amounts of time and money waiting for the city. One real world example is a redevelopment project that recently occurred downtown, the very place we want to encourage growth to occur. The issue was street trees. One city department would only give approval with one type of tree and another city department with a different type of tree. This un-necessarily cost the project a significant amount of money in "engineering", and an unreasonable amount of time to sort a simple issue out that should have not occurred in the first place. Other cities such as Ferndale and Tacoma have achieved this goal and Bellingham can too.

of County jail are largely the mentally ill. They need treatment, not warehousing. Crime is down and expected to continue a downtrend as the population ages. On the Council, I would push for policies such as home monitoring as cheaper and less dehumanizing alternatives. And, let’s stop jailing people for failure to appear when in many cases a simple reminder call would have made them appear. A: The minimum wage should be a living wage. I am in solidarity with the striking fast food workers throughout the country. I would vote for the SeaTac measure if I lived there. Wages in general have not kept up with inflation over the past 35 years. The only group that has prospered are those at the very top of the income pyramid. The ever increasing share of income and wealth of the 1% is a national disgrace. I don’t know whether $15 an hour is the right figure. Thankfully, our state has the highest minimum wage in the Country at $9.19 an hour. That works out to $19,115 for someone who works 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. This is above the federal poverty rate for a family of three, but below it for a family of four. Still, a poverty wage is hardly a living wage. Defining a living wage is more difficult than conceptually agree-
ing to the need for it. My guess is that it would more like $12.50 for Bellingham A: I don’t see a huge conflict between the two. We CAN attract living wage jobs AND protect our Bellingham way of life. It simply means we must be selective about the types of jobs we attract. Currently, our City has high unemployment and even higher underemployment. We don’t need employers who are going to pay minimum wage. And, we don’t need employers whose living wage jobs are “dirty” jobs such as those that would operate a coal terminal. The waterfront is pretty much a blight at the moment. We must assure that it becomes a “living wage zone” when it is developed. I will argue for a Community Benefits Agreement to spell this out. Because Bellingham is such a desirable place to live, we should be attracting more “good” employers than we do. Part of the reason for this is that the City in its overregulation has a reputations as being hard to deal with. A hard look needs to be taken at regulations and the permitting process. There are hurdles that can be removed.
Barry Buchanan A: Our new jail must be the right size and
a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour for workers in the Service industry in the Airport district. (limited to Hotel workers, Parking attendants and Rental Car workers) What is your stance on a livable minimum wage? A: I do support a livable minimum wage. There are a lot of families that depend on minimum wage jobs and often have to work several to make ends meet. This situation is not good as there is not much time left for spending with their families. Livable minimum wages benefit both our working people and our community as more dollars and time are available to spend in our local businesses. It is a win-win.
A: We need to utilize our unique environment to attract businesses that create living wage jobs. Our Eco-Tourism industry is huge and we attract many people here for recreation that are in a position in their businesses to seek out new locations and opportunities for their companies. These forward looking companies that choose Whatcom County because of our environment will be good stewards of our great county. The Bellingham waterfront is an excellent place to create jobs AND improve the environment. The focus for our waterfront should be jobs and cleanup.
A: Having been a guest in our current facility which is both a hellhole and a wrongful death lawsuit waiting to happen, I desperately want to see a new jail constructed. I do not, however, want to see an oversized jail constructed with the potential for greatly increased costs to the City. Locating the jail in Ferndale will by itself increase transportation costs to the City. The Pierce County jail overcapacity problem was caused by “per diem” charges to municipalities for housing those booked on misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors being too high at the new facility. There are a number of cities in Pierce County that have their own facilities and those that do not found it cheaper to contract with other cities. I have not seen any analysis nor heard any discussion of what might happen to per diem charges at a new Whatcom facility. The City and its taxpayers should know this. The Pierce County scenario is a real possibility. America has been rightly referred to as Incarceration Nation. Only China and a few Muslim countries have higher incarceration rates. Alternatives to jail are desperately needed. Those repeatedly in and out
affordable. With the United States being the highest incarcerated nation in the world, we need to change that and focus resources on prevention for things like domestic violence and substance abuse. I do not want to se our new correctional facility become a “jail for hire” contracted out to other jurisdictions. We can build our new jail in a modular form that allows future expansion if there truly is a need. We cannot afford to build an oversize, over priced facility.Q: Fast Food Service workers across the Country have been striking to press for a livable minimum wage.

and attract good jobs while respecting our environment is to enable the living and jobs space we have been planning for, but not activated, for way too long. According to the new economic chapter in the Bellingham Comprehensive Plan, pages 7 and 8, "This is an especially important issue in Bellingham, where wages have typically lagged behind those of other cities in Washington State." and " At the same time, the cost of living in Bellingham is 15% higher than the national average, with housing being the primary cost factor. While it is important to increase living wage jobs, it is equally important for housing costs to be within reach and comparable to earnings." An important action to bolstering future economic development is to allow the land planned for city growth to be used in an efficient manner, when the market demands. About one half of Bellingham's planned future jobs space is in the general area of the airport. Property owners, adjacent to the city limits and next to the airport have been working for over

A: I support building a right-sized jail facility that is safe and clean for both the inmates and the County staff that will be working there. Our current facility is in poor condition and is not safe, especially in the case of a fire. The most recent proposal of 521 beds with facilities for social services and future expandability is much more responsible than the original proposal of 800 to 1,000 beds as contained in the 2008 Law & Justice Plan. I support building a smaller sized facility with the ability to efficiently add capacity in the future, if needed. Unfortunately, partly to do with increased traffic congestion in Bellingham, the choice was made to build the facility in Ferndale. In the new location, I believe the Sheriff's office will be better able to reach most areas in Whatcom County with very little change in response time to Bellingham when necessary.

A: When I owned Ryzex, I paid family-wage jobs because I was able to attract better workers and because I felt it was the right thing to do. My company was far better off for it. Employees take much more pride in producing good work for a company that rewards its employees for good work. Our best bet is to support companies that feel the same way I do. A: Our future economic prosperity depends on our making wise decisions to protect and utilize these natural amenities. They attracted me, and they will attract other new businesses, skilled workers and visitors to our community. This means that our most likely sources of future economic growth will come from: (a) hospitality/ recreational businesses that serve tourists that have been given an attractive reason to want to transport
themselves and their money here; and (b) valueadded businesses that have strong intellectual property content, such as computer software/engineering services or specialized high value manufacturing, that is “market proximity insensitive” This includes specialty food products created from the local crops our mighty farms produce. Whatcom County has one of the best natural environments in this country, and we are directly between two major metropolitan areas, Seattle and Vancouver. There is so much opportunity here and Whatcom County could be doing so much more to boost that growth. Recently, four permits for new hotels have been granted within Whatcom County which is hard evidence that the hospitality and travel industries believe that Whatcom County offers them a lot of opportunity.
Pinky Vargas A: The City of Bellingham does not have any say in what the County does with its jail however, I support a right-sized jail of 521 beds, a size that will meet our needs for the next twenty years without breaking the bank. Furthermore, we need to improve the whole system surrounding the jail. We need to support our mental health services and fund proven programs like juvenile justice to ensure that our jails are not filled with the mentally ill and foolish. The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world. This is unacceptable. In short, I will fight to ensure that we are applying smart justice in our community.
A: We absolutely need living wage jobs in our community, however I'm not convinced that increasing our current minimum wage by over 50% in one go is the best way to make that happen. It is always popular for politicians to hide behind the shield of "it will hurt small business" but honestly, there are lots of small scale entrepreneurs who are struggling to make the best of this difficult economy. I support living wage jobs, good union representation and safe working conditions. The wages have remained stagnant over the last thirty years and we do need wages that better fit our current costs of living. Instead of such a quick increase, I think it would benefit both our workers and our
businesses if we got there incrementally. A: I consider myself an environmentalist, I work as an energy efficiency manager here in Bellingham so I don't see these as incompatible goals. Look at the success of Western Solar, Ryzex and Index Sensors to see the success of environmentally sustainable businesses that are paying living wage jobs. Obviously, one of our largest economic benefits is our environmental beauty, drawing tourism from across the nation to our little corner. So as for the balance, I see both as intertwined. We need to support our environmental resources to ensure that we keep and generate living wage jobs.
Michael Lilliquist A: Decisions on the size and location of the new jail are under the control of county government, but as an elected City of Bellingham official, I have been among those voices calling for a smaller, “right size” jail. Fortunately, we have seen progress in the direction of a bed count of 521, rather than 800 or more, as had been talked about. I fully support the smaller number, in large part because I believe the evidence that shows diversion programs, drug courts, mental health courts, and other means of dealing with less dangerous individuals are appropriate and successful. Let’s keep the iron bars for true criminals. From the perspective of a city official, if the entire jail is moved to the outskirts of Ferndale, Bellingham police and court officials would face dozens of time-consuming trips daily, cutting into their ability to serve the public. Recently, I joined Mayor Linville in urging Whatcom County to consider the need for a holding and booking facility near the courthouse, to serve short term (overnight) needs. County facility planning must consider the needs of
all cities and citizens. A: I am proud to say that Washington has the country’s highest minimum wage, and the City of Bellingham passed a “living wage” ordinance several years ago. Contrary to some people’s fears, these laws have not resulted in an economic crisis or a competitive disadvantage. Higher wages usually result in better quality work and lower turnover, benefitting employers, customers, and employees. From a public policy perspective, at the urging of myself and other council members, the City of Bellingham recently adopted our first-ever economic development chapter to the city’s Comprehensive Plan. That plan emphasizes the city’s “background role” for economic development – providing good streets, clean drinking water, working utilities, public amenities that add to our quality of life, and zoning that provides ample opportunities for commercial and industrial activities. Elected officials need to keep an eye on the type of jobs that are available. The emphasis should go beyond “more jobs,” and aim for “better jobs.” In particular, I have been focused on Bellingham’s need to provide for
sufficient light industrial lands within city limits. I support early annexation of unincorporated areas around the airport, to better control and encourage growth in that area to provide better-paying skilled jobs. A: Please see the answer above. In my view, the city’s responsibility is to provide a trouble-free foundation upon which the private sector can build. Rather than seeing a conflict between jobs and the environment, I see a strong supportive relationship. Your local government can attract living wage jobs BY protecting the unique qualities that we all enjoy. We can have both good jobs and quality lifestyles; and more importantly, we deserve both. Numerous studies have shown a positive relationship between high quality of life and strong economic development. Put simply, a healthy environment is a competitive advantage, attracting people and employers. Conversely, more prosperous communities are willing and able to invest in environmental protections, to safeguard their futures.

Rud Browne A: I support a new jail with increased investment into social services. My understanding is that a lot of people who actually have mental illnesses or other special needs end up being incarcerated because there isn’t a better place for them. I think we have an opportunity to break that cycle and strengthen our community by doing so. Jails are expensive and focusing on prevention and treating illnesses ultimately reduces the burden on taxpayers, allowing us to invest in other programs that matter. Anecdotally, I’ve heard that a large portion of the jail population is functionally illiterate. Investing in facilities within the jail system that allows community volunteers to provide remedial English educational opportunities for inmates is another great way to break the cycle of incarceration.

Two Films That Have Never Been Made: Queer Film Bibliography Lyle Pearson
Ackerley is best known in film studies as the author of MY DOG TULIP,14 an account of his life with his German Shepherd Queenie, animated by Paul and Sandra Fierlinger in 2009. Queenie was too gay a name for 1956 and the dog, taken in during a felon lover’s prison term, became the less ambiguously feminine Tulip. With her, as the ‘ideal friend’he had been searching for, Ackerley gave up cruising, and Queenie became the love of his life. (You’ll find some of this information in the ‘Making Of ’feature on the DVD of MY DOG TULIP -- and also that Ackerley was a BBC dandy, with slick-backed hair rather than the crotchety 70-year old Christopher Plummer voiced for the film, causing the Fierlingers to age his physical image by a decade. The DVD is rentable from Film Is Truth.) * * * Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, in her Introduction to three stories by Mahasweta Devi, IMAGINARY MAPS,15 admits that while from India, as a ‘Western’scholar she now writes in a vocabulary closer to ‘Western’academia than to any India idiom. Chaudhary admits he critiques HINDOO HOLIDAY from the juncture of queer and colonial studies, but this is not the only way to view the book. It, as well as Forster’s THE HILL OF DEVI, is often seen as a novel; indeed, HINDOO HOLIDAY has been said to be easily adaptable to the stage, a drawingroom comedy masquerading as a travel memoir. So I prefer to judge both more as novels, and as opposed to ‘old criticism’from the point of ‘new criticism,’and as possible films (care to discuss the auteur politique, anyone?) rather than as examples following Said or Boone’s critical formulae -as works not of ordinary colonial discourse, but as ones establishing their own cosmology. Thus there is E.M. Forster’s THE HILL OF DEVI, that Chaudhary doesn’t deal with at all, (see THE HILL OF DEVI AND OTHER INDIAN WRITING,16) missing pages that destroyed its story arc, coming near the middle, their lack eliminating the motivation for Forster’s empathy towards the British-deposed Maharaja of Dewas after he is sent to Madras. In those pages, Forster suspects that a rumor is going around that he is gay, and that it may have reached the Maharaja’s ears. So Forster confides in the Maharaja, wanting to leave no false impression, that he is indeed gay. To his surprise, the Maharaja claims not to have heard the rumor, but continues, ‘However, since you are, if you are interested, we have this barber…u8217 Things don’t work out very well with the barber, but when Forster visits the deposed Maharaja and his wives in Madras, the empathy he feels with them is motivated by an acceptance of his homosexuality that he has not received in England, and certainly not from the publisher who excised those earlier pages. (Richard Cronin in his study of foreign novels on India, IMAGING INDIA,17 believes that the Maharaja knew that Forster was gay all along, and that strengthens my point: it is that Forster did find more acceptance of his sexuality in India than in musty old England.) Most of Forster’s other novels have already been filmed, the majority of them by the James Ivory-Ismail Merchant team including his gay posthumous MAURICE,18 but ironically not his A PASSAGE TO INDIA19(1984), directed by David Lean, a heterosexual reconfiguration of his Indian experiences.

It may be (we can’t be sure) that the title of Zahid Chaudhary’s paper “Controlling the Ganymedes: The Colonial Gaze in J.R. Ackerley’s HINDOO HOLIDAY”1 came after he had written the paper, while he was a Ph.D. student at Cornell studying South Asian colonial photographs, before his thesis turned into the book AFTERIMAGE OF EMPIRE: PHOTOGRAPHY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY INDIA.2 For he does also mention Ackerley’s friend E.M. Forster’s THE HILL OF DEVI3 in his beginning pages, and then refers to Forster again only as Ackerley’s friend “who suggested Ackerley visit India…as the Maharajah of Chhatarpur was offering a position for ‘a companion secretary’or a tutor.”4 “What [writers] looked for often”in the ‘East,’Chaudhary quotes Edward Said, “was a different type of sexuality, perhaps more libertine and less guilt-ridden.”5 Finding this statement ambiguous (I find it less so), Chaudhary goes on to quote Joseph Boone’s critique of Said that he remains “ensconced in conspicuously heterosexual interpretive frameworks.”6 Boone goes on to describe the “homoerotic concerns”in the travel writings of Burton, Lawrence and Flaubert in the ‘Near East’while Chaudhary remains with Ackerley in India, acknowledging that Ackerley and Forster “practiced sexual relations with other men”7 while there. But he minimizes, or mistakes what Said calls “libertine and less guiltridden”sex by relegating what the original publisher asked to have cut from Ackerley’s HINDOO HOLIDAY: AN INDIAN JOURNAL8 to a footnote.9What was merely implied in the 1932 text was partially restored in the 1952 republication, and to whom it was done in the first complete publication in the ‘West’in 2000.10 It was certainly no sense of ‘guilt’on Ackerley’s part that caused the elimination of those passages, rather the publisher’s fear of a libel suit by the Indians involved. (Chaudhary does not mention the complete elimination of homosexuality by its publisher from Forster’s THE HILL OF DEVI: more on that at the end of this article.) Throughout Ackerley’s remaining text he and the Maharajah of ‘Chhokrappur’(‘City of Boys,’altered by Ackerley from Chhatarpur, to avoid that libel suit) ride about the kingdom ogling boys, and now there are rumoured naked theatricals in the palace. Chaudhary finds Ackerley’s position as a ‘tutor’or ‘secretary’colonial, one of superiority, mistaking Ackerley’s personality in the bias of Said and Boone. Ackerley may not have been completely happy with his sexual contacts in ‘Chhokrappur’but then he never was anywhere: he liked rough trade, sailors and such, as he detailed in his posthumous autobiography, MY FATHER AND MYSELF.11 The final passage cut from HINDOO HOLIDAY was first published as “A Missing Page from HINDOO HOLIDAY”in THE ACKERLEY LETTERS,12 and restored in an Indian edition before the complete American edition in 2000.13Here, from the Indian edition, is part of what is now pages 251-252, Ackerley’s conversation with a servant, Narayan, about another, handsome servant, Sharma, who has impregnated the queen and pleasured the maharajah “many times:” “He [Sharma] tell me ‘The Sahib [Ackerley] try to kiss me.’u8221 “And what did you say?” “I say he must kiss you if you want.”

Both memoirs are worthy not only of reading, but filming, in a post Ivory-Merchant world. Perhaps, in a color film based on HINDOO HOLIDAY or THE HILL OF DEVI, those censored passages could appear in black and white, as if their original negative had been lost. This is often they way the past is portrayed in film, a change of color representing times gone by. These two sources, unexpurgated, to me present not a licentious world, but one that is more accepting, even its mythology, of homosexuality than in what we traditionally call the ‘West.’ 1 In SEXUAL SITES, SEMINAL ATTITUDES: SEXUALITIES, MASCULINITIES AND CULTURE IN SOUTH ASIA.

Meditations On The Dark Of The Year - Using The Major Arcana Kevin Walder
The dark of the year is not a time of fear or dread, but one of reflection and gratitude for a season well lived and a bountiful harvest. It is a time of rest since the hard work of production and harvest are over for now. It is a time of planning and rejuvenation to make ready for the coming season of planting and tilling. Behold the Wheel Of Fortune card and how it represents the endless continuing cycles of our lives. There is a time on the wheel of the year for accomplishing every task we humans must do to sustain life. Please observe the Death card as we recognize the plans we made in early spring through to the final harvest have all served their purpose in our lives and will now be tilled back into the soil of our creativity to provide nourishment for our new upcoming plans for the coming season. The Hermit card steps forward next to remind us to indulge our need for introspection and quiet reflection. Learn to love your own company and embrace your meditative practice. The Devil card encourages us to allow the release of all that holds us back. Often these are jealously guarded beliefs that now need to be released in the fires of the hearth. The Magician card reminds us that our own magick is powerful enough for any situation we encounter. It is our’s to create and to harvest all we desire.
w w w. t h e b e t t y p a g e s . c o m
The Tower card is a reminder that some changes are quick and decisive but necessary and welcome nonetheless. Be prepared to make those challenging choices.
14
The Hanged Man teaches us to be bold enough to turn our world upside down to gain a new perspective. Sometimes it is the only way to see clearly the path you will choose. The Chariot is a card of forceful movement but more importantly exquisite control. Movement for the sake of movement is not what we seek, but to be in control of each turn is much more important. The Moon card teaches us to adjust our focus knowing that with the adjustment to the moon’s light our perceptions will become more defined. Do not shrink from that which hides in the mist and shadow as this may be the answer you seek. The Hierophant card teaches us to respect the old ways and the traditions of our ancestors. There are many valuable lessons to be learned from studying their ways. The High Priestess performs her rites by the light of the full moon encouraging us to become at one with our spiritual side. Embracing the divinity which resides in each of us. The Judgement card reminds us of the need to test ourselves and to make sure we are walking our talk. Knowing through study is no substitute for the experience of living our belief. w w w. i s s u u . c o m / t h e b e t t y p a g e s
The Temperance card demonstrates that unlike things can be brought together to produce a new substance. This process of alchemy takes place in us everyday and we need only begin to recognize it. We need only recognize it to begin. The Star says it is OK to dream. It is OK to imagine what you want and visualize yourself already there. Let your mind and heart float among the stars. The Strength card defines for us the true strength we all possess. While we may not have the physical stature and strength to accomplish every goal we set for ourselves we definitely have the emotional, spiritual, and intellectual strength for any task at hand. The Emperor steps in to lend support. Letting us know that no matter where we are or what our challenge we do have a universe of energy to call upon for support. The Emperor is the ultimate father figure, nurturing and capable. Justice teaches us that the fairness and accommodation we expect from others must first come from ourselves. The best way to insure justice for ourselves is to be impeccably just with those around us. The Lovers reveal so much about our human existence. We sometimes focus so strongly on our own needs we fail to appreciate how our choices affect those closest to us. Spending the dark of the year with your true love is an experience not to be missed. The Fool reminds us that some things in life must just be taken on faith. At some point you must realize that you have done everything within your power and release the outcome to the universe. At the time of the Winter Solstice the Sun card makes its appearance. Announcing and heralding the return of the sun. The days begin to lengthen and the daylight hours become very full of activity as we plan for the coming planting season. With the renewed light and warmth of the Sun card the Empress is encouraged to come forward. Her feminine power of nurturing and embracing all life including that which she is bringing forth is an example for us all as our new plans, ideas, and creative endeavors come to birth as children to be introduced to the world. The final card to illuminate this exercise is The World. The World bright and full of life, everything humans have ever dreamed or feared, everything humans have ever conceived is present in this card. It is a reminder that everything the mind can conceive the mind can achieve, but more importantly to be diligent and studious in what we pursue and intend for this world for we bear responsibility for it as well. So from the introspection and meditation of the quiet dark of the year up to and beyond the rebirth of the sun at the winter solstice we can find timely reminders in the cards of the Major Arcana. Many Happy Dreams To You All!

“WOW! $33 a month!�We hugged joyously. The young woman and her partner work at places that don’t provide health insurance, and this is the first time they’d ever been able to afford it. They qualified for a free plan but decided to “splurge�and get one that gave them more benefits and lower prescription costs. But maybe you’re wondering if you even need healthcare. I mean, doctors don’t always treat you well. You haven’t needed health insurance before. You don’t understand how it works. They’re saying the system is still breaking down and—hey —you can get charity care at the hospital in an emergency, right? Not so right, unfortunately. For starters, charity care at most hospitals is going away. Healthcare is mandated (you must enroll by March 2014.) But it is now so affordable (or entirely free) for those who need it financially, you won’t be able to apply for hospital help as of 2014. If you’re not covered then, expect some big bills if you go to the hospital. But Obamacare is much more than just getting help in an emergency. Along with ER room visits and services, plans also have to include prescription medicine, ambulances, lab visits, rehabilitation, preventative care and my favorite addition, mental health services. (Insert rant here about how mental health is ignored and stigmatized and how it’s ABOUT DAMN TIME we as a nation understood that mental health services are a priority and should be covered for all.) Plans provide birth control (usually free,) wellness exams and they must accept you despite any pre-existing condition like diabetes, MS, or cancer for example. What about those western medicine doctors you don’t like? Many plans include alternative medicine or services such as massage and acupuncture. Remember: who you see is still your choice. You’re not forced to visit someone you don’t like, or agree with, or who treats you badly –ever. You can even choose your plan based on the provider, if you’re already seeing someone you feel good about. Never needed health insurance before? No snowboarding-accident-horror-stories here; you know you’re spinning the physical health roulette wheel. Even if you don’t need tons of medical care, getting safe sex materials for free is great. Having a checkup once a year just to make sure all is well is great, and it’s fabulously wonderful to have a place to turn to when something isn’t ok. Most people will pay little to nothing for health care, and can take advantage of its benefits as needed. It’s all too confusing so why bother? The system is still broken? That’s what hardworking navigators like me are here for. We don’t cost anything, we bend over backwards to work through the system (as much or as little as you need,) and we all took an oath to be 100% completely, absolutely objective and impartial. So, try the WA Healthplanfinder: wahealthplanfinder.org or call us at Planned Parenthood: (360) 734-9095. We’re here to help. Try the system and see what your choices are, and here’s to a healthier LGBTQ Community!

Bellingham’s Coffee (part 2) Marcymark
So here I am again with the final chapter for the search for the best Iced Mocha in the Bellingham down town area. The Black Drop $4.29 I like the atmosphere when you walk in to the Black Drop. It reminds me of one of those kids play area with the multi color walls and the basic furniture. The paintings on the wall gives it a more adult appearance, however. I was impressed with the lack of image. It was more like they weren’t trying to impress any one with their plush seats or there fine looking log cabin appearance or there antiques on the shelves. They where there just to serve coffee. I was impressed with the simplicity. It was a nice comfortable feeling just to be there. My mocha was just slightly off Q with the chocolate being a little weak. Still good though. I was more intrigued when the server asked me if I wanted toddy coffee. I answered with “What?” I had no idea what he was talking about. He informed me what toddy coffee was. A cold drip coffee. Out of all the coffee shops I’ve been to through the years and this is the first time I’ve herd of toddy coffee? How sad no one told me earlier. So now I have something new to look into.

For those who may not have read my two previous articles I’m gonna do a short recap.The first article was on how popular coffee has gotten in the last 10 years and some interesting coffee trivia that you might find interesting but too much to list here. But if willing you now can find Betty page archives online and this trivia coffee article you’ll find in this years Aug. article Keep in mind that my study for the best coffee was limited to one type of drink (my personal favorite). An Iced Mocha with an extra shot. It was no where near finding the best coffee per say but finding my favorite Mocha and who can serve it to the best of my liking along with a comfortable surrounding atmosphere. It was a toss up between Starbucks and I Wana Moka. Both had wonderful tasting mocha’s and both have their advantages. On the go circumstances “I Wana Moka” will win hands down. Any other time If for some bizarre reason like every morning I might have the notion of wanting a coffee. I can be anywhere and chances are Starbucks will be right around the corner. I must say though. I am very pleased that The Black Drop enlightened me on toddy coffee. Again this journey was a study on only one cup of mocha to these coffee establishments and by no means was of accuracy. But it sure was fun just to meet all the new people I saw at the different shops. There are so many coffee shops I did not go to due to my lack of time to explore them. I do plan to explore more and maybe I’ll find a new and improved mocha that I have never experienced. If not I will still enjoy the pleasure of meeting new and exciting people. So the next time your out at your favorite coffee shop and you want a mocha you can think of me. It’s time for me to find out more about this toddy coffee. Drink on my friends. Live the dream.
