Santa Claus is coming to the Sunshine Coast this Saturday, November 29. True, its still November. But it will be a mere 26 shopping days until the Big Day. Santa will be at the Suynnycrest Mall in Gibsons, posing for pictures with the kids from noon to 3pm. And he will appear in Sechelt in the Parade of Lights, riding on a decorated vehicle, starting at 5:45pm. Then, at 6:15pm, he will pose for pictures in a special Santa tent, at 5699 Cowrie St.

Sechelt council's last meeting : goodbyes come with anger and sentiment

The November 15 elections included the selection of trustees to the Islands Trust from a dozen gulf islands – including Gambier. On Gambier, Kate-Louise Stamford was re-elected by acclamation and Dan Rogers was elected by acclamation. Voters in each of the twelve Local Trust Areas elect two local trustees to serve on a Local Trust Committee and to represent it on the Islands Trust Council. The Islands Trust Council has a provincial mandate to preserve and protect the Islands Trust Area and its unique amenities and environment for residents and all British Columbians. To carry out this mandate, it makes decisions about overall policy, staff resources and budget.

support of his allies on council and took a swipe at “the three-year oppositions” of councillors Shanks and Lutes. Hockley said he’d seen a video of the Milne election victory celebration at the Sechelt Arts Centre Nov. 15, and said he wanted to express, “his disgust at the obnoxious performances of Lutes and Shanks,” who spoke at the gathering. Hockley did not specify what he found offensive, but angrily accused the two councillors of being nice in public but when, “in amongst their own, they showed their true colours.” Hockley also directed his anger at district residents who didn’t vote for Henderson. “As far as the majority of the people of the city of Sechelt, not a chance. I wouldn’t run again for anything in the world,” he said to applause and hoots of “bye-bye” from some in the overflow audience. The new mayor and council will be sworn in on Dec. 3.

stand how tough it is to terminate somebody. We made every one of those decisions with great care and great concern.” In making their final statements, most councillors were conciliatory, despite often heated differences of opinion over the past three years. “Obviously, we haven’t always agreed, but I bear no animosity whatsoever to any member of this council,” said Mike Shanks, who was reelected. Re-elected councillors Alice Lutes and Darnelda Siegers also thanked the staff, as did outgoing Councillors Tom Lamb and Chris Moore, who said he’d been highly challenged over his term, but left with no regrets. “Over this last three years, I can say I’ve enjoyed pretty much all of it,” Moore said. Addressing other councillors, he admitted there were some he liked and some he didn’t, “but I still respect the service that all of us brought to the table.” Retiring one-term Councillor Doug Hockley did not attend the meeting, but was present via a speaker-phone connection. Hockley spoke in

build a better Sechelt, and we have had the courage to do it in the face of concerted opposition from people who tended not to bother with the facts and go with emotions,” said Henderson, who was defeated by Bruce Milne in the Nov. 15 municipal election. “Every one of us people on council, we’ve put up with a whole lot of that crap from people who don’t have courage, don’t take the time and don’t have the respect to focus on the facts and to acknowledge that, just maybe, we’ve been working hard to deliver the best decisions.” Henderson said he invited an honest appraisal of his administration, but cautioned that “nothing happens quickly.” “To one degree or another, it’s going to take time to fully evaluate what we’ve done,” Henderson said. “I ask all of you to plan on evaluating us 365 days from today.” The outgoing mayor choked up when it came to thanking district staff, and again when he described how hard it had been firing some employees over the last three years. “You people don’t under-

Sechelt councillors 'reluctantly' defer Lot L controversy to next council body who has spent a few minutes on the [Chapman Creek property] would see the opportunity.” Moore was also reacting to published reports that revealed his and Lamb’s links to the legal cannabis industry. Moore, a proponent of licensed grow-ops on the Coast, has not denied reports he is a director of a California-based medical marijuana company (not connected to the Lot L deal), while Lamb owns a property in Wilson Creek where medical marijuana is grown, although he said he has no financial interest in the company. “Councillor Lamb and I are the new drug lords of the Sunshine Coast, apparently-according to certain individuals and newspapers,” Moore said with frustration. Moore said he looked for-
Dog licences for 2015 are now available for purchase at the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), at 1975 Field Road, Sechelt, Gibsons and Area Community Centre at 700 Park Road, Gibsons, and the Sechelt Aquatic Centre at 5500 Shorncliffe Avenue, Sechelt. The SCRD encourages responsible pet ownership
through licensing, public education and enforcement. Licenses for spayed or neutered dogs are only $15 while a license for an unaltered dog is $35. Seniors purchasing a dog licence receive 50% discount. Licences purchased after January 31 double in price. A dog licence helps protect pets by providing an easy-to-
identify dog tag and registration with the SCRD. Licensing a dog is one of the easiest ways for the SCRD to re-unite a lost dog with their owner. To make licensing more convenient they will now be available for purchase at two new locations. This will give owners the ability to purchase their dog’s licence on weekends and after regular working hours.

ward to seeing how the members of next council deal with the Lot L issue, adding that it “breaks his heart” to vote to defer the decisions to them. Councillor Darnelda Siegers, who presented a recap and analysis of the Lot L file since 2009, also believed the rezoning was a good deal, but put forward the motion to defer the proposal. “The public has lost trust in this council, which was evidenced at the polls last weekend (Nov. 15),” said Siegers, who also referred to presentations made at a Nov. 17 public hearing about the rezoning.
“What was reiterated over and over again by those presenting was the request to defer the decision of subdividing Lot L,” said Siegers, who was among three councillors re-elected in the Nov. 15 municipal vote. Henderson said he was voting against deferral, as the benefits of the rezoning and sale proposal were “spectacular.” He said that in exchange for three acres of an industrial park, the District would be getting 12 pastoral acres that would help protect access to the Chapman Creek corridor. He suggested the deal
had been hijacked by possibly baseless concerns about cannabis. “Medical marijuana is a red herring in this. It may happen, it may not,” said Henderson. The mayor, along with Hockley, Moore and Siegers, noted with regret that the offer on the Chapman Creek land purchase would expire due to the deferral. Councillor Mike Shanks suggested that council ask the vendor of the Chapman Creek property if the timelimit on the offer could be
extended. Rik Jespersen

motion to defer the Lot L issue to the next council, which will be sworn in Dec. 3. Councillors Tom Lamb and Chris Moore, despite expressing support for the rezoning, said they would, with reluctance, vote to defer. Lamb was defeated in the election, while one-term Councillor Moore did not run again. “The misinformation and the innuendo that has floated around this community the last 45 days has been a sad case,” Moore said of the controversial rezoning proposal. He said the potential for dozens of jobs at the marijuana farm could be lost due to the deferral, as could the chance for the District to use the proceeds from the land sale to buy property in the Chapman Creek watershed. “This is such a brilliant land swap,” Moore said. “Any-

The controversy over the fate of Sechelt’s Lot L and the potential for a marijuana farm on the property has been passed on to the new District Council, following a sometimes raucous and emotional council meeting Nov. 19. The current council had been dealing with a complex subdividing, rezoning and land-swap proposal involving Lot L, which lies between Dusty Rd. and Allen Rd. near the eastern shore of Porpoise Bay. The proposal would also see a portion of the lot sold to a company planning to build an enclosed medical marijuana farm on the property. In a five-to-two vote during what turned out to be the last full meeting of the current council, Mayor John Henderson and Councillor Doug Hockley voted against the

Editorial Opinion
Election mud-slinging: a dishonourable tradition Negative third-party election ads taken out in local newspapers have been roundly criticized, especially by Sechelt’s defeated mayor and members of council. The losing candidates bitterly argue that the ads were largely responsible for the outcome. The year? 2011. It might be a distant memory now, but during that municipal campaign, the group called For A Better Sechelt (FABS) placed newspaper ads that complained about elected officials not being transparent and being “dysfunctional.” Sound familiar? Incumbent mayor Darren Inkster balked in 2011 at the “unfair, untruthful, unsubstantiated comments” being circulated. And it was déjà vu from the mayor under attack in 2014. FABS called for voters to clean house and not to re-elect a single member of council. The organization also held exclusive Table Talks events to which only new candidates were invited. FABS and its supporters might argue that they didn’t back specific candidates, but the fact is they did, in all but name. And they didn’t hesitate to name politicians they didn’t like, giving them failing grades in report card-style display ads. In 2011, Inkster and most members of council were turfed out. They pointed accusingly at the third-party ad campaign, while the winners said little about it except to support the right of an angry electorate to free expression. When you compare the 2011 and 2014 campaigns in this light, their tone, their outcomes and participants’ reactions were all remarkably similar. What did change in 2014 was the number of ads, the number of people or groups placing them, and their more pointed— some might say nastier—content. Some tactics might have been different from 2011, but the strategy was the same. Negative advertising is negative advertising. It’s a matter of degree, and this year, it just got hotter. In 2013, Scientific American reported that political scientists had studied negative political advertising for 20 years and found that there was no conclusive evidence that it is effective. Would John Henderson have won in 2011 and Bruce Milne in 2014 anyway, without the negative ads? Is it possible that that negative advertising has virtually no impact, or that it alienates as many people as it persuades? It will forever remain a matter of opinion. All we know for sure is that losers will be sore and winners magnanimous. Negative campaigning is now a fixture of campaigns at all levels of politics. Why? It seems that when there’s power to be won, the action gets gritty and elbows fly up in the corners. Also, in everything from news to entertainment to folk tales that go back for millennia, it’s the outrageous and the dark stories that are often more memorable. Little wonder, then, that there is virtually no third-party advertising that’s consistently positive. No independently paidfor, full-page spreads during campaigns that declare week after week, “This guy’s so great,” or “Vote for this terrific woman!” Pity. Rik Jespersen

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Educated citizens leaving Sechelt?
Like many communities in British Columbia, Sechelt has survived a difficult municipal election. Negative ad campaigns by our provincial and federal politicians have now found their way to the municipal level. Negative campaigning had an impact on the election in Sechelt. How much was the impact, well that depends who you talk to. On page 2 in the November 20th issue of The Local, resident Carolyn Minchin (White) was quoted as saying she felt the campaign and election was a great disappointment to the educated citizens of Sechelt. So distressed they are now considering whether they should stay. Is one election outcome is a reason to leave Sechelt? And I’d be curious as to the definition of educated? The campaigning and final result may have been different if Basia Ruta, the Auditor General for Local Government had released her performance audit on the state of Sechelt this past summer. Failure to make this audit public resulted in rampant speculation and rumour leading up to November 15. It would have been nice if the electorate had accurate information to make an informed decision. Richard Austin, Halfmoon Bay
“Sore loser-ism”
Re: Nov. 20 “Letters”
I take your selection of these particular postelection communiques to be
‘The Local’s’ mix of posthumous endorsement of the incumbent Sechelt mayor and sore loser-ism. It is pleasing in a way to learn that the youngest by far of Council candidates received the most votes, but I assume that -- demographics being what they are well-known to be
for Sechelt -- a very high percentage of voters were fully aware of Mr. Milne’s character and abilities from his previous 2 terms as mayor and thus capable of making a reasoned comparison of his record and Mr. Henderson’s. As it happens, until reading your ‘Letters’ page I had never heard of the term ‘Third Party Advertising’ or witnessed any manifestations of whatever it refers to; thus, I have assumed Sechelt voters are sensible folk and not the dupes imagined by Ms Davis, the Whites, and Mr. Henderson’s business partners. David Evans, Sechelt
Thank You Mayor Hendersen
Re Public Hearing Nov. 17, 2014 First we want to recognize and congratulate Mayor Henderson for maintaining his composure and professional chairmanship at this notably contentious hearing, particularly during discourse on the disposition of Lot L. Unfortunately, presentations on Lot L quickly degenerated into unfair and inaccurate berating of Mayor Henderson and Council on their notable achievements in bringing about, on time and on budget in three short years, the construction and start up operation of what may well be the best waste water treatment facility in Canada. Beyond that, a further grant is being made available, to research the removal of the chemicals including medications and hormones that we humans swallow that show up later in treated waste water effluent. What could be better than achieving their removal! What could be greener! Congratulations Mayor Henderson on your leadership. We look forward to the day when you receive the positive recognition that you
so deserve. It cannot happen soon enough. Lucy and Peter Wooding, Sechelt
A ‘feel-good waste’
Last week Sechelt Communications Manager Connie Jordison announced that the trial pick-up of separated organic kitchen waste in Davis Bay this year was a great success. This was based on the survey returns of 77 households of willing participants in the program. 76 of the 77 thought the program was great. This is like conducting a survey into the liberalization of marijuana laws and restricting the survey to known pot-users. (This raises the question of the relationship of marijuana-use to composting, but that’s for another time.) The remainder of the 500 households in the program who declined to fiddle with the sorting of kitchen waste into little plastic buckets were not provided the opportunity to give their opinion. Nor are we told the cost per ton for the collection and delivery to Salish soils of this Date small amount of worthless material. Now, based on this survey, it is recommended that this messy, time-consuming, expensive, and valueless feelgood exercise be continued and perhaps expanded to the entire Town. With this manipulation of facts to suit their purpose it is apparent that the ghost of the rejected Council is still haunting the Town Hall. R. M. Giza, Sechelt
Welcome Gibsons Council
The Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome the newly elected Gibsons town council. We look forward to continuing to work with the
town as partners in economic development. The Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce believes that active civic participation and good governance are prerequisites for economic development. The amazing voter turnout of 62 per cent tells us that our citizens are informed, engaged and active. Clearly we all care about our town. Good governance requires that the town’s decision-making process be as transparent as possible and involve a dialogue with all residents. It is not enough for good governance to happen, it must be seen to be happening. Safe and healthy communities require robust and reliable civic infrastructure. Sound stewardship of all public resources, be they environmental or financial, must be at the forefront of every decision. We thank all candidates in this election for putting their names forward for public service.

The arrival of Santa Claus in the Sechelt shopping district is a complicated affair. Forget the late night descent down a chimney, followed by a quick – if clamorous – departure from the roof. The preparations for Santa begins in the Trail Bay Mall, where children can participate in “make and take” crafts, from 2pm to 4pm. Starting at 4:45pm, there will be carolling, led by a choir, at Rockwood Lodge. Hot chocolate and coffee will be available, and participants will each be offered a batteryoperated candle. At 5:30pm, it’s the Lighting of the Lights. The lights at Rockwood are illuminated, along with the lights all down
Cowrie St. But where is Santa Claus? you ask. You will first see him riding in the Parade of Lights. Starting at 5:45pm, a parade of decorated vehicles organized by the Rotary Club, will move along Dolphin Street, to Ocean, to Cowrie, to Inlet, and then around a second time. The vehicle carrying Santa will drop him off at Christmas Central, 5699 Cowrie. There, in a tent bristling with candy canes, Santa will sit for photos with children, starting at 6:15pm. Throughout all this, merchants will be standing by to help you with your own Santa activities. John Gibbs

Gibsons cancels final meetings The town of Gibsons has announced that its current council will not meet again before newly elected members are sworn in, meaning defeated councillors Dan Bouman and Lee Ann Johnson will not take their seats again in any official capacity. The council’s Committee of the Whole was scheduled to meet Nov. 25, but that was cancelled, as was the Nov.18 council meeting, according to an announcement on the town’s website. The next official meeting will be the inaugural of the new council on Dec. 2, and not at Town Hall but at the Gibsons Public Market.
“The [Committee of the Whole] meeting was cancelled as there were no immediate matters for consideration and any items would have to be brought forward to the new council for reconsideration,” Mayor Wayne Rowe told the Local Weekly. Johnson said she found the reasoning odd. “The official reasons for cancellation,” Johnson said Nov. 22, “is that there was nothing brought forward for the agendas. Seems a strange indication that staff is failing to bring issues to Council, at least at the end of this term of office.” Johnson said that as far as

she was concerned, there was official business to take care of. “As former Chair of the Affordable Housing Committee, our staff and Vice Chair were supposed to bring forward a request for endorsement in principle for our efforts to establish a local community housing land trust. The presentation was made to Sechelt and the SCRD, as the current elected people are more familiar with this work over the past two years than could reasonably be expected of newly elected politicians.” Rowe also did not indicate that Bouman or Johnson would have a role at the swearing-in, but instead would be recognized later next month. “Invitations have been extended to Councillors Bauman and Johnson to acknowledge and honour them at the midDecember council meeting when I can personally do so and to give them an opportunity to address the community as it is more appropriate to do so at a council meeting rather than a committee meeting.” Gibsons council meets the first and third Tuesdays of the month. The inaugural meeting and swearing in take place Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at Gibsons Public Market, 473 Gower Point Rd.

Not all learners fit in a mold- in fact none of them do. Today we’ve learned that “individualized learning” is the way of the future, and School Boards all over the province (and beyond) are searching for ways to support this new approach. School District 46 has known this for decades! The Sunshine Coast Alternative School (SCAS) has worked with students in learnercentered programs for many years. Today we have self-contained programs located at different sites up and down the coast. There are too many programs to describe in any detail in this brief article, but here’s a taste… There are three social development programs at the primary/intermediate level. In the “Career Prep” program, students can focus on either Culinary Arts or Health Care. The “Gibsons Learning Lab” and “Horizons” encourages students, in consultation with staff, to create their own academic program within curriculum guidelines. There is also the “Bridge Program”(grades 8 and 9), and the “NDVR”
(grades 6 – 8) program for a flexible learning environment under the guidance of one teacher. We also offer “Outreach” programs in both Gibsons and Sechelt to re-connect with students in transition, or who are out of school. “Phoenix” is a self-contained program with heightened staff support. We offer our “Spider”, “Spiderling”, and “Project Spider” programs which are teacher-supported distance-learning (internet) programs for students of all ages. So you see, SCAS really does do “whatever it takes”. The Principal of SCAS is Carolyn Spence. She is a tireless supporter of her school and emphasized to me that her school “… is an excellent alternative for students to earn their Dogwood. There’s flexibility in scheduling and pace.” She described her school “… as a regular BC high school that follows BC curriculum and is constantly evolving to meet student needs… and more!” Principal Spence summed up SCAS by saying “Staff totally believe in relationships first, and will do anything to ensure student success… Whatever It Takes!” Read the classifieds online

Jane Bowers Professional Trainer
Several studies now show that dogs learn faster and that training is more effective when dogs are taught with rewards than with aversive training methods (sometimes referred to as “dominance “ training). Aversive methods use punishment of some sort to attempt to change behaviour. Types of punishment dogs are often subjected to are hitting and kicking, shouting, alpha rolls, stare downs, use of punishing equipment such as choke, prong, electric, citronella and pinch collars and use of electric containment fences. Studies show that

co-author of Canine Behavior Basics: A Manual for Proven Success in Operational Service Dog Training, is training police and military dogs in the Netherlands by rewarding desired behaviors and removing rewards for unwanted behavior, and by teaching the dogs in small steps that Date build on one another. They have been training this way since 1996 and report that they have cut their training time down to one-eighth of the time it originally took (using old punitive methods). As an added bonus, they have found that dogs trained this way handle new situations confidently as they are not afraid to try things.
the young male and his dog were freed. During the evening of November 22, a serious assault occurred in the parking lot of the Sunnycrest Mall in Gibsons. After one male noticed another male following him in his car, he pulled into the parking lot, and was hit repeatedly by the other male. Cst Harrison Mohr said that “The two males are known to each other, and appear to have an ongoing dispute, however we are asking that anyone who witnessed the attack call Sunshine Coast RCMP, and quote file #14-8175.”

elicit an aggressive response in dogs because they can increase the fear and arousal in the dog, especially in those that are already defensive.” She further states: “Studies on canine aggression in the last decade have shown that canine aggression and other behavior problems are not a result of dominant behavior or the lack of the owner’s ‘alpha’ status, but rather a result of fear (self-defense) or underlying anxiety problems.” This can lead to medical issues too: some studies show that bloat (a life-threatening condition that can occur in dogs) is twelve times more likely to occur in nervous or anxious dogs.

Late afternoon on November 19, a young male called police on his cell phone from inside the public washrooms at Hackett Park, asking for help because the doors had automatically locked behind him, trapping him inside. Police attended and called out District of Sechelt staff who determined the emergency release button failed. Staff dismantled the magnetized door›s locking system and

these methods increase the likelihood of aggressive and anxious behavior in dogs. Unfortunately these methods are made popular by some TV shows and by the continuing popularity of the now disproven “dominance” theory in dogs. A one-year study was done by Meghan Herron and her colleagues from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the results reported in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science. The study was based on detailed surveys with owners of dogs. Herron et al found that using punishing techniques when training dogs tends to increase the aggression in the animals substantially. Results showed that 43 percent of the dogs responded aggressively in response to being hit or kicked, 41 percent

The Geminid meteor shower peaks December 14, 2014, with the peak at about 5 AM Pacific time. The Geminids are one of the finest meteor showers, rivalling the Perseid shower in August. The Geminids originate near the bright stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini (the Twins). Typically 50 to 100 meteors per hour should be visible at the peak. The moon will be in its last quarter on this date and
rises about 3 PM on the 13th, so it should not interfere with viewing too much: Geminid meteors are often bright, so they should still be clearly visible. Geminid meteors are often as good in the evening as in the hours between midnight and dawn. On December 11/12 at midnight Jupiter will be within 6 degrees of the waning moon and very close to the star Regulus in the constellation Leo. Mars is another evening planet in December.

Tip of the Week:
The final countdown has begun. Whether you refer to the end of the year as leading to Winter Solstice, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve or otherwise, it is fast approaching. Sagittarius is the 9th Sign and includes the 12th month and both signify ending and completion. Astrologically, the big news is Saturn in its final days of its journey through Scorpio that remains in the forefront. Despite a sojourn back into Scorpio from mid-June to mid-September, Saturn will enter Sagittarius on December 23rd. Saturn is significant and when it changes signs everyone experiences and feels it somehow. Whether it comes as outer synchronistic events or inner compulsions, it spells change. For some it is simply the next chapter, which is significant in itself. Yet for others, especially those in their late 20’s or 50’s it marks the Saturn Return. It is certainly interesting that this 29.5 year cycle parallels the 29.5 year Progressed Moon Cycle. It is especially interesting that Saturn is symbolic of father
A push is on, though late in the year, to learn to increase to clear. Replacing the old with the new can have many fronts. It could be possessions or it could be old perceptions, attitudes, attachments, projects, even relationships. It is all in keeping with the cycles of life. The main question is what is the quality of your action, assertive or aggressive? Aim for graceful. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) Some seeds indicate more sober objectives than others, like now. These are not simply the delight of flowers to bloom. Rather, you want a crop that will bring returns. Yet, while the metaphor may transcend agricultural in-
think: “Smoking weed helps me concentrate. Plus, I drive slower. Doesn’t that make me a better driver?” The truth is any safety benefit you might get from driving slower is more than outweighed by the additional risk of slower reaction times, foggier thinking, and altered time perception you experience when high on weed. “I just had a little to drink and a couple puffs. I feel fine to drive.”
The reality is alcohol has a “multiplicative” effect on other drugs. That means having a drink if you’ve also had some weed results in far greater impairments than taking either alone. So even if you haven’t consumed enough liquor to blow over at a Checkstop, if you’ve got weed in the system, your driving will be as bad as someone who has had far more to drink. Submitted
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
now is to have fun. Avoid an excessively serious approach. Yet you can focus to capitalize as well so weave business with adventure. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) A series of shifts and changes close to home continue to roll-in. These are leaving clear writings on the wall. Read, heed and direct your plans and attentions to embrace and accept their message. Flexibility is a key to your success now. Positively, these shifts will land you in new territory to cooperate to accept the flow yet with terms that serve you as well. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) You are on the eve of a dynamic learning curve. The lessons will be tailored to your needs and circumstances. Yet, they are calling you out to engage more fully with others somehow. Clubs, parties, social engagements and cultural associations of many kinds are possible. Making room for these close to home, is where some of the real work is required. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) There are times when it is

healing. While some meditation will satisfy, this cycle asks that you be open to variety to stimulate your brain synapses to activate new circuitry. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) A whole new vision is dawning in your skies. It speaks of expansion and adventure. Yet you must be willing and flexible. Direct your attention to your habitual comfort zone and focus to loosen its grip. Aim to shake it up and do something new. Sometimes what we seek is very close but we have to look with new eyes and this is one of those times. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Shifts and changes in your public and professional are shaking your world. These could well bring opportunities, if your attitude dial is set right. Focus to act on these quickly and deliberately. First impressions do matter and especially now. Yet do not wait for invitations and approval. Your leadership is shining signaling you to initiate new leads.

It's not safe to toke and drive December 1 to 7 is National Safe Driving Week, and the Canada Safety Council is reminding Canadians that it’s not just alcohol that impairs. By now, we all know that drinking and driving is a bad idea. But what about drugs and driving?

Clear the old to make way for the new and clarify your intentions for the coming year. With a clear sense of what you want and need and don’t you will have it all. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Last week’s New Moon in your sign is revealing its promise by now. Pay attention to the shifts and changes coming in. They are sending you strong messages. The time is fast approaching for some significant moves and changes. These will unfold over the course of 2015 and will take the better part of the year to unfold. Aim to engage with fortitude and faith. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) This is a time of stepping back. Work done behind the scenes will prove more satisfying. It does include paying attention to the details. Better yet, time away, an escape for usual routines could prove extras satisfying and

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) A series of endings and cYour scope and reach of relationships is expanding, perhaps even beyond your expectations or control. Almost as if suddenly, there is more to do that there is you to go around. Will you just let it bounce and roll as you smooth into one visit and event after another or will you be more calculating and intentional? Both ways can work and especially well if you are in the spirit. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) The time has come to make a few adjustments and improvements in your usual approach. This is a time of creative expansion which could mean investments. It certainly emphasizes opportunities. The time is right to be alert and to capitalize on deals, steals and giveaways. Longterm thinking and planning remains ideal so act today for a better tomorrow. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) Fortune, opportunity and luck if you like to call it that are flowing your way now.

and the Moon of mother, but sometimes the roles are reversed. In any case, these two cycles constitute a main focus of unfolding themes which can be measured to produce a whole series of episodes and chapters in a person’s life. It is not a question of belief or faith, it is measurable and demonstrable. As one year ends and a new cycle fast approaches and thoughts of next year begin to play on your mind, it could prove very helpful and worthwhile to know more about the cycles of your life to understand and tune-in to the rhythms and probabilities they imply.
