Last weekend, many travellers witnessed elk along Highway 16

during the yearly rut. This handsome fella was showing signs

of aggression, while his harem fed nearby. Visitors and travellers

are warned, elk can be dangerous particularly at this time of year.

A woman narrowly escaped injury Sept. 19 when her parked Toyota Matrix was struck by an westbound half-tonne truck, pulling a fifth wheel trailer, near the Palisades picnic site on Highway 16.

The woman had pulled over on the north side of the road to check her tires around 5 p.m., thinking she was getting a flat, said Fire Chief Greg Van Tighem. While she was out of her vehicle, she saw a truck and trailer approaching her vehicle, so she ran into the ditch to avoid being hit.

“She was in a bit of shock from what she saw,” said Van Tighem, “but she wasn’t injured at all.

“It was very, very lucky for her that she was out of the car.”

The collision ripped the entire driver’s side from the car and sent the rest of the vehicle

spinning into the ditch.“The side was peeled right off,” said Van

Tighem, noting that it was crumpled up and caught on the side of the fifth wheel trailer.

According to the RCMP, the driver of the truck was “distracted by the beautiful Jasper scenery, and by the time he saw the car, was unable to avoid a collision.”

The male driver, who was uninjured, has been charged under the Traffic Safety Act, said Corp. Ryan Gardiner.

In light of the collision, the RCMP are reminding drivers to keep their eyes on the road at all times.

“By taking your eyes off of the road for even a moment, you increase the chance of a collision or accident, as is evident in this case,” states an RCMP press release.

Another important milestone toward a year-round resort near Valemount, B.C. has been reached.

The Tourism and Resort Operations Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations, is currently reviewing a 202-page document entitled, Formal Proposal for a Glacier Tourism Destination centred on Mt. Arthur Meighen near Valemount, British Columbia.

Prepared by Pheidias Project Management Corporation (PPMC), and Oberti Resort Design for Valemount Glacier Destinations Ltd.(VGD), the document illustrates the proponent’s design concept in greater depth than the Expression of Interest, which was presented at the beginning of the year.

The formal proposal has not been publically released, but has been circulated amongst interested parties, including the Valemount Ski Society and the Fitzhugh. Local Government and First Nations were also given advanced copies for their review.

According to Tommaso Oberti, speaking on behalf of PPMC to the Fitzhugh, the resort operations branch does not

have a firm timeline, however he believes the branch will allow up to 45 days to receive any interagency comments.

“Preliminary feedback we’ve received is positive and we’re hoping they will be able to complete their review and proceed to the interim agreement in the next 50-60 days,” said Oberti.

Oberti noted that formal proposals are not released to the public because of the possibility that competing groups may conceivably “appropriate” their work at a later date, should government reject or delay a particular proposal. While VGD was awarded sole proponent status by letter, a confirmed signed agreement won’t exist until the interim agreement is finalized.

Oberti explained the formal proposal will be released to the public when proofreading is completed, and with the expectation the province will act in good faith to honour VGD’s recognition as sole proponent.

According to Oberti, often government and First Nations will make comments during the process that will result in modifications to the formal proposal. As a courtesy to the public, the formal proposal may be made available on a project website, which is in the works, following required

modifications, which could happen in as soon as 20 days.“Normally, formal public input does not begin until the

project enters the Master Plan Stage,” said Oberti. The Master Plan Stage occurs after the Tourism and

Resort Operations Branch staff accepts the formal proposal and an interim agreement is signed with the province. The Master Plan Stage would include the development of detailed plans, studies and various rounds of public input.

The concepts contained within the formal proposal are general and preliminary in nature.

“We haven’t arrived at the point in the process where we engage the public on the details of the project and we haven’t completed the studies to support the preliminary planning,” explained Oberti. He believes in-depth discussion on details would not be particularly productive or appropriate at this particular stage.

Oberti says that while they have shared ideas and concepts, and have sought the input and support of locals in creating a general concept and design, further dialogue, particularly with directly affected stakeholders, is still desired, but at the appropriate time and in a pragmatic way.

A new coalition has formed to work with the University of Alberta on a province-wide study of early childhood development.

The study is called the Early Child Development Mapping Project – often referred to as ECMap. Its purpose is to determine the success of early childhood development in Alberta and to identify the gaps in services and programming that need to be filled within individual communities.

Early childhood – from birth to age f ive – is the most critical stage in a child’s development and, as such, has a lifelong impact on a child’s learning, health, work, relationships and well-being.

As part of the study, the coalition, which will work alongside the Prenatal to Preschool Collaborative Action Team, will be creating an inventory of all of the programs, facilities and services that support Jasper’s families and young children.

That inventory is the final piece of information required to complete the study.

The ECMap project began with kindergarten teachers in communities around the province filling out questionnaires about the development of children in their classes.

“The teacher f i l ls out the form based on thei r observations of the child. The children aren’t actually tested,” Kathleen Waxer, Jasper’s director of Community and Family Services, said of the scientific survey that measures the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of children from birth to the age of five.

Alongside the results of the questionnaire, which was completed last spring, the province will look at socio-economic information based on the 2006 and 2011 census data and it will also consider the inventory created by the coalition.

The inventory will include things like parks, libraries, daycare centres, preschool programs, skating rinks, parent support groups, and church groups, to name a few.

On Oct. 19, Jasper’s ECMap community co-ordinator will be in town to present the results of the questionnaire and socio-economic study to the coalition.

The coalition will then spend the next three months analysing the information, alongside its inventory, before releasing it to the public in the new year.

Waxer said the three months will allow the team to digest the information and consider how to use it.

“This isn’t about sitting back and saying, ‘We’ve done a great job.’ It’s about looking with a critical eye as to how we’ve done services, and there’s many things that are working really well, but there maybe things that would be advantageous to change.”

Waxer pointed out that Jasper’s demographic has changed a great deal, even in the last five years, and she’s not sure if the services and programs have kept up with those changes. So, she said, this is a good time for this study to be taking place.

“I’m not sure Jasper is doing a good enough job yet, it hasn’t caught up necessarily with the fact that we have a changing demographic, so I think this is very valuable information.”

The coalition is made up of community members with insight into the role communities play in the development of young children.

If there is anyone in the community who feels they belong at the table, Waxer said those individuals are more than welcome to join the team.

In order to provide more time and clarity to trail users, Parks Canada will hold off on its designation of unofficial trails as off limits to bikes and horses until Oct. 15.

Three weeks ago, Parks announced that after Oct. 1, cyclists and horse riders found on unsigned trails would be subject to a ticket. But, after discussions with the public, it has decided to give users a bit more time.

The designation is one of more than 100 recommendations from the 2009 Three Valley Confluence Trail Plan that was developed by Parks Canada and Jasper’s trail users between 2006 and 2009.

The trail plan was designed to give and take from both the recreational and ecological perspectives, by creating the ideal trail network

for all users, while also protecting important areas for Jasper’s wildlife.

For the last five years, the park’s focus has been on building 60 kilometres of new multi-use trails and trail connections, as a way of making the trail system appealing for the majority of users.

With the designation of unsigned trails as off limits to bikes and horses, Parks is now trying to give back to the wildlife in the valley.

Area closures will be staggered, with trails in the Pyramid and Maligne wildlife corridors closing Oct. 15 and the Whistlers corridor remaining open until sometime in 2013 – the exact closure date has not yet been determined.

The Signal corridor was closed on Oct. 14, 2011, and so far “it seems like it’s had reasonably good compliance,” said Landon Shepherd, Parks resource management officer.

See TRAILS page 4

Trail closures pushed back

Trail closures in the Pyramid and Maligne wildlife corridors will look similar to this one located in the Signal corridor. There will be a sign indicating that the area is closed and there will be trees across the trail.

INBRIEFCouncil to discuss buskingMonika Schaefer attended the Sept. 18 meeting of council to request that council consider making busking legal in Jasper.

“This is an issue that’s non-controversial and everything because it doesn’t cost money, in fact it might be financially beneficial for you,” she said, noting that the municipality could create business licenses for buskers. “I think it could be a very positive thing.”

Council agreed that it will discuss busking at its next committee of the whole meeting and, depending on the conversation, that it will then bring it to a regular council meeting for further discussion with the public.

Mayor Richard Ireland said busking was initially a land use issue and is now a public land use issue.

“It becomes a question, I suppose, of licensing people to use public space, but right now, public space is for non-commercial use.”

Schaefer said it’s her goal to have music in Jasper’s streets by next spring.

Passport receiving agent closer to homeThe Service Canada outlet in Edson is now offering passport services.

The office is located at 4905 4th Ave. and is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Formerly, Jasperites had to travel to Edmonton to submit passport applications or renewal applications.

To receive assistance, you must visit the office in person.

Money for treesJasper was named as one of 25 Canadian communities to receive a $25,000 grant for the greening of municipal land along its rail lines.

The grant is from CN EcoConnexions’ new From the Ground Up program.

Janet Cooper, envi ronmental stewardship co-ordinator for the municipality, said the money will be used to plant trees across from the Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre.

CN received 72 applications for the inaugural grant program, far exceeding the company’s expectations.

Cooper said tree planting will begin in the spring.The work will be guided by Communities in Bloom

and Tree Canada, two partners in the program.

Poet in the loungeWriters take note: poet Jannie Edwards will be in Jasper facilitating a writing workshop at the seniors lounge at the Jasper Activity Centre this weekend.

Edwards taught writing at Grant McEwan College for many years and is currently the Canadian Author’s Association’s writer in residence for Northern Alberta.

The workshop is a Culture Days event and was made possible by a partnership between the Jasper Municipal Library and the Writer’s Guild of Alberta.

The free event takes place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30.

TRAILS from page 3

All other unofficial trails will be closed to bikes and horses as of Nov. 15.

While out on a mountain bike ride on the easy trail system – created as part of the trail plan – Shepherd told the Fitzhugh that trail closures are hard on him, too.

The avid mountain biker, who has broken bones and sustained numerous injuries while biking, said there are times when he’s out with his friends and he has to make the decision to stay behind because they want to bike in closed areas.

He said although he loves biking, he also loves the park and he understands the need for the rehabilitation of the valley’s wildlife corridors.

“We need to give wary wildlife more options to move around,” he said. “So, these corridors, we need to get the concentration of human use out of, so wildlife can use them.”

Matt Staneland, chair of the newly formed Jasper Park Cycling Association, said the association agrees that wildlife need their space, but he’s concerned with the way Parks Canada is going about the trail designations.

“The last time anything was really brought up with the three valley plan was three years ago, so a lot of people were taken aback and were perplexed as to why this decision was brought out and the way it was brought out.

“If you weren’t here three years ago and you didn’t see this whole process come up and all of a sudden there’s trail closures, people that are uninformed about the background history are obviously going to be up in arms,” he said.

The association is asking that Parks hold off on its designations until another public consultation is held, so that the association and the community can discuss the plan.

“We just think as a community we should discuss these things with Parks Canada again.”

The corridor closures are particularly important for the well-being of the park’s grizzly bears, cougars and wolves – large carnivores that need their own space.

The reason for targeting bikes and horses is that “bikes need trails and horses makes trails,” said Marcia Dewandel, product development officer for Parks Canada. “But,” she said, “this goes beyond singling out uses. It’s not about the bike or the horse. It’s about the entire landscape and working together.”

Parks plans to rehabilitate the 100 kilometres of unofficial trails in the park, like it has been with the trail network in the Signal corridor, on a priority basis.

Unofficial trails are the ones that can’t be found on a map and don’t have signs. Trails that are being rehabilitated in the Signal corridor can be identified by closure signs and fallen trees across the trail.

The living history of Jasper CemeteryLast weekend the Jasper-Yellowhead Historical Society took participants on a tour of the local cemetery. Apparently such tours are very popular in other places around the country, and for good reason.

Such tours are more than a showcase of fancy letters scrawled or carved into cold granite. They are a personal introduction to people and personalities who were integral to the history of Jasper.

Some of the names spoken during the tour were familiar, some less so, but learning of their lives, and their deaths, in the place they were laid to rest, is a uniquely intimate experience.

Such experiences are not about death, but life.Memories, thoughts and deeds are what keep people

alive long after their names are recorded on granite tablets. We are inspired by their spirit, ingenuity and innovation. We learn from their lessons. Our imagination is evoked by their accomplishments. Sometimes we can’t help but romanticize their lives while yearning for simpler times in an age of discovery.

The concept of death is something every human being must face and consider. Death is an inevitability no one can avoid. When visiting the graves of the famous or well-known, one can not help but consider one’s own exit from the world. However, what is most evident during such a tour is not death, but the colourful lives present behind the names.

Of course even the not so famous or well-known evoke curiosity. Names, inscriptions and dates often produce questions in the mind like; who were they? What were they like? Were they happy? Perhaps this is the crux of human curiosity with our past and the reason why we have museums and history books to begin with. We question and wonder about where we have been, and we just love hearing the stories of the people who came before us.

In some distant future we could all be considered lucky as to have our names including in a walking tour of Jasper Cemetery. Perhaps it is a measure of success to have been so influential in life that future generations would consider visiting us long after departing the world.

However, what is most important, while still enjoying the ability to fill our lungs with air and pump blood through our veins, is keeping our living history alive. Learning and remembering our past in the here and now, preserves our history for ages to come. Building our knowledge so that we can share it with others is the best way to preserve the memories of the past.

The Russianʼs grave at the Jasper Cemetery, Alberta. [ca. 1912] The caption on the back of this photo reads “The Russianʼs grave when we had finished, we did the best we could”. The burial of a Russian construction worker killed in a railroad accident. This was the second white person buried in the Jasper Cemetary. The first was buried by the Brewster Family. An Indian baby was already buried there then. “The Russian Grave” from the book “The Land of Open Doors”, by J.B. Bickersteth who conducted the funeral service, for this man from Bessarabea. He died in the G.T.P. Hospital at Fitzhugh, unable to speak our language, or tell anyone his name. “After seeing the park ranger about a burial place, the doctor and I went down with four labourers on a hand car to a place where there is a flat stretch of land near the Athabasca River. Here where an Indian baby and a Finlander were already buried, we told the men to dig the grave for the Russian. A more beautiful place no one could desire for a last resting place. Imagine a long stretch of short green grass, sloping down to the Athabasca, and all round young green pines; opposite the hills rose steeply from the river, and away to the east shone the snow covered peaks of Mount Hardisty. Behind us, the forest covered slopes ran right up to the rocky cliffs of Pyramid Mountain, and along the side of the hill went the Transcontinental line, in the construction of which this man, like many others, had met his death.”

Heidy Barton recently described the greatest Monday she has ever experienced.

“When I finally saw the email pop up, my face must have lit up like a Christmas tree,” said Barton. “It definitely set the mood for the rest of my week.”

Barton recently won the Dark Sky Star Correspondent contest through Tourism Jasper, and will be the designated social media guru for the event.

Barton said one of the first steps she took was to “update my Facebook status.” She says if it weren’t for the persistent voting of Facebook friends, she would not have made it this far.

Having spent the summer in Jasper she feels she has a taste of what to expect. She will be travelling to Jasper from Ontario to attend and report on the event.

As Dark Sky Correspondent, Barton plans to give everyone a taste of what’s happening during the event via her online presence. She is also hoping to film a video or two, showcasing the event.

Barton is most looking forward to waking up in the Canadian Rockies.

“If there’s one thing I’ll make sure to do, it is to cherish the days I will be spending there. My summer in Jasper flew by! I am going to stick true to the saying of, ‘live each day as if it’s your last!’” said Barton.

Barton considers Jasper one of the greatest places in the world.

Of Jasper, Barton says, “You contain a piece of my heart...is that corny? Because it’s true.”

The second annual Raven’ About the Arts Awards went off without a hitch, Sept. 21, with eight local artists receiving recognition for their contributions to Jasper’s arts community.

Recognized were Nicole Koebel for

dance; Sonia Deleo for theatre; Jonathan Thornton for music; Gregory Deagle for visual arts; Paulette Dube for writing; and Mike Gere for photography.

The 2012 cultural pillar is Helen Schwartz for her many years of support for the arts. The cultural patron is Louise Medig for her continuing devotion to and attendance at the many events that Jasper presents.

The awards attracted about 30 community members to the Brushfire Gallery to watch short video clips about each artists’ form of creative expression and what they think of Jasper’s always growing arts scene.

The awards ceremony kicked off the Arts with Altitude festival that will carry on until Oct. 12. The festival is a continuation of the national Culture Days event, which take place this weekend.

This weekend’s festival activities include a script writing session tomorrow, Sept. 28, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., a heritage walk with Mona Harrigan, Jasper’s first licensed female horse guide, Sept. 29 at 1 p.m., and the Bowls With Soul dinner and variety show Sept. 30 at 6 p.m.

A dozen Jasper ites gathered on the Information Centre lawn with handwritten signs and flags last week to mark the one year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Occupy began in New York and swept across the globe last fall, as what was often dubbed a “democratic awakening.” The protests had people camping out for weeks and months in cities around the

world, calling for social and economic equality.

The first protest to gain widespread attention was on Sept. 17 in New York City’s Zuccotti Park. So, this year, on Sept. 17, people again hit the streets to commemorate that day and to show their continued support for the cause.

Not unlike the Occupy movement, which didn’t have a set goal or message, in Jasper Sept. 17, the protesters each came with their own issue to discuss. The topics spanned from the loss of democracy in Canada to the

loss of Parks Canada staff in the last round of federal budget cuts.

Kim Wallace, who was dressed as an evicted goat in protest of the Glacier Discovery Walk, said the event was about

showing solidarity with the protesters around the globe, while also taking part in a democratic discussion with other community members.

By DANIEL BETTSEditor

The Columbia Icefield is playing the starring role in a film directed by a well-known Hollywood director.

Through Ice and Time is a 15-minute film produced by Stonehaven Productions, and features a cast of completely local talent.

Dana Rudy, who grew up in the Columbia Icefields area, was instrumental in the creation of the initial treatment and plays the central character in the film. Local climber, Eddie Klopfenstein plays an elderly version of Rudy’s character. Young local actor, Dylan Skinner plays Rudy’s character as a young boy.

“In getting people with the right look we also ended up with people who lived that lifestyle,” explained Sean Nardella, promotions officer for Parks Canada.

Also featured in the film are, Nico Magnan, Sean Elliot,

Wyatt Bell and Erika Whitty; all local talents.Through Ice and Time is intended to be installed in the

renovated Icefields Glacier Gallery, which is expected to be completed by 2014. However, it is hoped an advanced screening of the film can be arranged next summer when post-production is completed.

The film itself has no dialogue and is told in a poetic non-linear way.

“We wanted to keep it simple,” explained Nardella, citing an international audience and language issues. Connections in the film are implied.

The film’s story is seen through the eyes of an elderly man looking back on his experiences on the Columbia Icefields as a young man and boy. He sadly searches for something he lost, which connects him to his past, Mount Athabasca and the Columbia Icefields.

Alar Kivilo, who directed the photography of such films as Hart’s War and the Oscar-winning The Blind Side,

applied his talent to the creation of this new promotional film commissioned by Parks Canada.

When a call for bids on the project was released, included among the films Parks Canada were interested in emulating, dramatically and stylistically, was the recent Tourism Newfoundland campaigns, which were also directed by Kivilo. Stonehaven Productions contacted Kivilo directly and he agreed to work on the project.

“Alar [Kivilo] normally has an expensive going rate,” said Nardella. “We aren’t paying what he is worth to have him here.”

Kivilo says the film is meant to be an emotional experience.

“It was never meant to be a climbing film,” said Kivilo. “It’s an evocative, poetic film about the icefield itself and the area surrounding the icefield. The intent is to get people moved and interested to come and explore on their own.”

CARIBOU JOE from page 5

“That’s right,” said the girl. Mr. Wimbles has a place where a tub of river-water is rolled over a hot camp-fire and fine outdoor bathing is then offered at a dollar a time.”

“No thank you very much. I try not to take too many baths,” said Joe.

Later, Joe was walking down the railway tracks between Mile 52 and Mile 53. His cloth bag, which held his clothes and other personal belongings, was slung over his shoulder. The new boots continued to squeak as he stepped from one railroad tie to the next. Joe was wearing his usual set of clothes. They included his floppy hat, wool pants that had only been washed twice that winter, a wool shirt that was missing both its breast pockets, and his new work-boots. “What an outfit!” thought Joe. He continued on down the tracks towards the Siems Carey Warehouse.

When Joe came close to the Mile 53 docks, he heard the sound of a steam whistle. The steam-ship was approaching. Joe hurried along as fast as he could. He was soon at the railway crossing beside the new water tower. Joe found the B.C. Express

already tied up. He quickly searched his bag for the letter of introduction that Mr. Bates had given him. Joe was to present the letter to Captain Baker when boarding the sternwheeler.

Joe watched as the dock workers made secure the mooring ropes. A crowd of spectators were gathered on the wharf to greet the passengers and crew. He walked along the wooden platform examining the huge ship that was to be his new home for the next few weeks.

Joe decided to board the vessel after the last of the passengers had disembarked. He made his way to the gangway. Then, with his kit-bag slung over his shoulder, Joe walked across the wide wooden planked gangway to the forward deck.

An elderly grey-haired gentleman, who had been sitting in a wood and canvas deck-chair, leapt to his feet and confronted Joe. “Ticket please,” said the man.

In the next episode, Up the Gangway, Joe meets some of the crew members on board the B.C. Express and has a brief interview with the Captain. Another adventure is about to begin.

ICE AND TIME from page 10

Having had an opportunity to visit a couple times in his lifetime, Kivilo shared his “urge” to come to the mountains every September. However his primary reason for taking on the project was having a chance to do something very creative with social value.

“The thought of getting people coming here and embracing nature seemed like a worthwhile thing to do,” said Kivilo. He also noted it was a nice change from his usual projects.

Kivilo noted filming went very well, both with the weather and with cast and crew.

“People behind the scenes and on camera were amazing,” said Kivilo.Kivilo cannot say enough about the local talent involved with

the project. “They were extremely natural on camera,” said Kivilo. He said

the key to this film is its ability to evoke and arouse emotions from the audience. He feels fortunate they were able to find actors who could do just that. He suspects Jasper’s mountain lifestyle has much to do with their natural ability.

“Maybe being surrounded by huge mountains puts everything in life into perspective,” Kilivo suggests.

Jasper was swarming with assistant golf professionals f rom clubs a rou nd the cou nt r y las t week , as 120 golfers participated in the three-day PGA Assistants’ Championship of Canada.

Included in the roster of impressive players were five current employees and nine former employees of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club.

Taylor Van Tighem, who’s been playing the course since he was 12 years old and has been working for it for the past five years, was among them.

And, he was also among the golfers to make the second day cut, allowing him to play the third round on Sept. 19. (To make the cut, a player has to place within the top 60 players after the first two rounds of golf. Van Tighem was 47th after the second day. He finished in 51st place after all three rounds.)

“It was my first ever professional tournament, so it was nice to do it on a course that you’re familiar with,” he said. “My goal coming into it was making the cut. I did that, so it was a bonus.

“It was awesome.”Aside from playing, Van Tighem said the event was also

a great opportunity to reunite with old co-workers and meet other golf pros from around the country.

One of the golfers he met was the two-time PGA Assistants’ champion Mike Belbin of Edmonton.

Belbin won the 2011 championship in Ridgeway, ON and won again here in Jasper.

“Last year, it was my first time having won the national championship and then to come to Jasper, one of my favourite places to golf, and to repeat and do it all over again, it’s pretty exciting,” he said after his win.

After three days of play, Belbin came out 12 under par with a total of 201, having shot a 67, 64 and a 70 on the par 71 course.

“It was hard,” he said before accepting his trophy. “I shot one under par, but I struggled. I didn’t struggle off the tee, really, I struggled on the greens. But I got it done.”

Belbin is the first back-to-back winner of the event since Serge Thivierge in 1979.

The PGA Assistants’ Championships of Canada was the first national event the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club has hosted in more than 80 years.

Alan Carter, who is the president of the PGA of Alberta and the director of golf at JPL, said, to his recollection, the last one was the 1929 Canadian Amateur Championship.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve hosted anything on the national scale, but Jasper sits on everybody’s radar screen as far as a place that would be great,” he said. “Trust me, if I said we were doing this again in two or three years, all of these guys would be all over it.

“They had a ball.” [email protected]

or a fresh creative venture. Now is a time of full maturity of

that relationship or new beginning. This is the time to pour

more effort and probably some financial resources if you wish

to claim it as yours.

Taurus: A partnership or a significant relationship

that began two years ago is arriving at a point of full ripeness.

If it has been good, you can review it now with a sense of

satisfaction. This is the time in which you cultivate the soil for

future growth, or let it begin to die naturally.

Gemini: Your power of concentration is deep at this

time. It is important that you use it for the good in your life

rather than in self-criticism and obstructive thinking. If you

cannot stop the negative self-talk, then focus on something

else that is totally neutral. When you move your body your

attention will shift.

Cancer: You feel strong and confident and it may feel

as though your very life depends upon making your point of

view heard and acknowledged. No doubt others will let you

speak, break in line, or generally do what you want to do. A

burst of physical energy may demand that you exercise.

Leo: A relationship of at least two years is at a turning

point and may grow or die, depending upon your ability to

admit error and share responsibility with the Other for cleaning

the dust off old hurts. You may be tempted to spend money on

things of beauty for your home.

Virgo: People in your public or work life are particularly

gracious in their compliments and include you freely. Those

who travel this week will find it a pleasure. Communications

with a significant other might become confused or snarled.

Don’t make assumptions about what the other is thinking.

Libra the Scales (Sept. 22 to Oct. 22): Your partner or a significant other may upset the status quo

of your life. Somehow this triggers your security fears. Old

tensions may rise and threaten to overwhelm you. This time

calls you to rise beyond your childhood and remember you have

better resources now than you did as a child.

Scorpio: You are still in a danger zone with regard to

relationships. One of you is behaving erratically and it is hard

to tell what will happen next. The Scorpio can be stoic when

necessary and this is one of those times for you, lest you be

drawn into a wide open battle. Keep home and hearth secure.

Sagittarius: You have a desire to reach outward to

others. You want to share ideas and express yourself in a larger

framework. Circumstances on the romantic front are favorable

with one or more who share your intellectual interests.

Activities involving teaching/learning are positive, along with

good aspects for travel.

Capricorn: Whatever is occurring in your life at this

time is clearly intense and emotion-laden. You may feel as

though your very life depends upon making your point of view

heard and acknowledged. I would not want to be on your enemy

list right now, lest you attack. Count to 10 and rattle your sabers

before you explode. Give people a fighting chance.

Aquarius: Surprise, changeability, and general

rebellion are the qualities prominent this week. You may be the

one who feels rebellious and wants to be left alone. Or it could

be your partner or a good friend. If you have words on your mind

regarding a relationship, they may fall right out of your mouth

when you least expect it. Think carefully before speaking.

Pisces: You are focused on the subject of healing. This

may be on the physical, spiritual or emotional plane. Given

the mind-body connection, it is probable that work on the

emotional level will heal you physically and vice-versa. If it is

not you who is healing, then it may be someone significant in

your life to whom you are attending.

For All Signs: The ten year archetypal battle in the sky is among Power, versus Social Justice, vs. The sovereign rights of the individual. This is symbolic of the birth of the Aquarian Age. It is a quarrel that will

last for much of this decade at multiple levels. You will see it in the news, perhaps in your neighborhood or job,

relationships, and also inside your own head. The zodiac signs most impacted at this time are: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Leo. However, everyone is affected. Many

are trying to deal with things or people that just donʼt make sense or wonʼt come together and flow as they

should. We must hold ourselves together by widening our perspectives so we can see a greater purpose at work.

Starting on Thursday, Oct. 4, and every first Thursday of the month until April, the Jasper Film Club will be presenting a new feature film through the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Film Circuit.

Joining over 165 communities across Canada, Film Circuit provides access to Canadian and International f ilms to filmgoers in under-served communities. An alternative model of grassroots distribution, marketing and exhibition, Film Circuit is intended to build markets and audiences for Canadian cinema.

The season opener will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Chaba Theatre and is entitled,

Hysteria – a lighthearted romantic comedy based upon the invention of the world’s first electro-mechanical vibrator, by Dr. Mortimer Granville.

The story takes place in the 1880s, “the very peak of Victorian prudishness” and the dawn of the electrical age. The movie stars academy award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy as the young doctor questing to work out the key to women’s happiness, during an alarming e pidem ic i n women’s hea l t h ca l led ‘hysteria.’ While his ‘manual massage’ cure has proven to be surprisingly effective, his treatment is met with fiery disapproval in his personal life. The “new” science of electricity offers a surprising solution.
