Saskatoon Crime Stoppers clears two more cases thanks to tips As of November 2011, Saskatoon Crime Stoppers has received 755 tips which have led to 14 arrests and 28 cases cleared. Two cases now solved were featured as a Crime of the Week. Both included surveillance photos. On March 26, 2011, at 9:20 p.m. the victim and two friends were walking in the 300 block of Marquis Drive following a hockey game. Three males confronted them then waited outside a gas station for the victim to emerge alone. He was punched until he fell to the ground then kicked. The victim’s friend was also attacked while trying to help. On Thursday, April 7, 2011, at 9:30 p.m., while working at a car wash located in the 1900 block of McKercher Drive, an employee was punched in the face. The victim grabbed

an aluminum pipe in defense which led to a struggle but resulted in the lone suspect getting the upper hand along with a small amount of cash. These cases were solved because tipsters contacted Crime Stoppers providing precise details investigators didn’t have. Crime Stoppers is NOT the Police. It’s a community run, community funded, non-profit organization. Crime Stoppers pays cash for information leading to an arrest. If you have information on any unsolved crime in Saskatoon; “Make the Call” to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

RM council weighs options, denies permit to paintball company By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he RM of Corman Park council turned down a proposal for a paintball facility in the western portion of the municipality because of concerns from area residents. At its November 14 regular meeting, a delegation of property owners near the proposed paintball facility presented a petition, signed by a majority of area ratepayers, which opposed the rezoning of a parcel of land

in Division 9. Foremost among the ratepayers’ concerns was the potential for wildfires in an area covered with poplar bluffs and sandy rolling hills. The area has few roads and limited water sources. While the application for rezoning from applicants Matilda Tate and Chris Viguie met most of the RM’s land use policy criteria, the significant local opposition to the proposal proved decisive. A background document by the RM’s planning department acknowledged

that although the applicant provided responses to concerns about fire safety, wildlife impact, traffic and potential fire hazards, “it remains clear that there is significant opposition to the introduction of this activity on this property.” The planning department, in recommending the proposal be denied, explained that “social integration is an essential component of land use integration.” Noting that in the past, council has approved decisions that were contrary

to the local public opinion, those decisions were seen as necessary to “benefit a larger segment of society than local landowners.” The paintball business, it suggested, would be better suited to “an alternative location” In a presentation to council, Chris Viguie, one of the applicants for the rezoning, challenged the perception that the business would increase the risk of fire hazard. He pointed out that existing paintball businesses in the RM of Corman Park and the RM of Vanscoy have

not been linked to any fires, and said there is little evidence to suggest accidental fires could be started as a result of carelessness by paintball participants travelling to and from the site. He also noted that the business would take precautions to prevent fires on the grounds. His partner, Matilda Tate, told councilors that the land in question is also intended to be for their home, as well as their business. But Wendy Trask, councilor for Division 9, said the

majority of ratepayers oppose the proposed business, and added the risk of fire in the area is too great. “We’re not saying Chris and Matilda don’t have the right to purchase property,” she said. “They do, but we don’t want the paintball business in the area.” Division 1 councilor Perry Ulrich also voted against the proposal, saying while he admired the entrepreneurial spirit of the applicants, the proposal would have a negative impact on landowners in the area.

Be kind, shovel your sidewalk Now that winter has finally arrived, so too has the task of shovelling snow from driveways and doorways. But what about that sidewalk in front of the house? We’ve all seen it before. An entire block of houses all with immaculately cleaned driveways and sidewalks except for that one home with a snowpacked sidewalk (sometimes the driveway hasn’t been touched with a shovel, either!). For people with little mobility – the elderly in particular – this poses not only a major inconvenience but also a serious safety hazard. Even for people of all ages who can get around easily, trying to navigate their way over an icepacked section of sidewalk can be a tricky situation. Some would argue that sidewalks are town or city property. Well, technically, they are. But the duty to ensure it is clear of obstructions, including snow build-up, remains with the owner of the property it abuts to. Some communities have bylaws that enforce snow removal within an established timeframe after a snowfall. Others don’t. But, it’s important to keep in mind that whether there is a bylaw or not, taking a few extra minutes to clear your sidewalk could save someone from a few days or weeks of pain and suffering should they have a slip and fall. Besides, it’s all part of being a good neighbour and responsible citizen in the community.

Tough task ahead for NDP As members of the Legislative Assembly get set for a new session, the nine-member NDP caucus will now be led by interim leader and longtime MLA for Regina Lakeview John Nilson. For those who have never met the man, the soft-spoken and often methodical Nilson is a physically imposing figure at well over 6’ 5”. However, he can also be described as the type of guy you’d find chatting over a cup on coffee row. A lawyer by trade and a staunch defender of his Norwegian heritage, Nilson may well be the right person for the job of bringing all sides within the Saskatchewan New Democrats back to the table; something his predecessor couldn’t seem to do. Under Dwain Lingenfelter – and some would argue Lorne Calvert before him – the party was heavily splintered following the last leadership vote when Lingenfelter defeated two younger candidates in Yens Pedersen and Ryan Meili. The latter pair represented fresh faces but the party faithful put their trust in the ways of the past (more like back to the...well, 70s) with Lingenfelter and lost the gamble. Nilson has a formidable task in front of him and his eight colleagues in the house. While the debates will likely be void of blistering vocal tirades we saw under Lingenfelter’s watch, there will be no doubt we may see a couple of “fresh” faces jockeying for position within party ranks and among the electorate. Watch for Saskatoon Massey Place MLA Cam Broten and Regina Rosemont MLA Trent Wotherspoon to crank up their dialogue a notch or three in the coming months. There’s also a chance Pedersen may decide to take another run at the leadership, too. However it all pans out for the Official Opposition, whoever wins has an even bigger challenge awaiting them. Rebuilding a party from the bottom up takes time. Unless we see a major faux paus by the Saskatchewan Party government (which we never saw in the first four years and probably won’t see in the next four based on their track record), there’s a good chance that whoever takes over the NDP as leader will have to accept a modest seat increase in 2015 as a major success. After all, the NDP have nowhere else to go but up.

Wall government must stay humble At Premier Brad Wall’s first caucus meeting with his massive 49-member Sask. Party majority, he emphasized the need for humility. This should not be surprising. Wall has, at least to date, remained humble. He is also very politically smart. Even if it were not already his natural inclination to stay humble, he would certainly understand that this is the message that must resonate. But as history has taught us, the hardest part of governance is staying humble into a government’s second term and beyond. It’s especially hard with a massive majority and will undoubtedly be the Wall government’s biggest challenge over the next four years. Consider how arrogance plagued every one of the last few governments we’ve had in Saskatchewan. One might think that the exception to this rule would have been the Roy Romanow government, first elected in the 1991 election and tasked with cleaning up the financial disaster left behind by the Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives. Undoubtedly, the measures the Romanow NDP had to implement that included raising taxes, cutting back on highway repairs and closing 52 rural hospitals were grounds for humility. But while the Romanow NDP may have been humbler in its first term, that government that was re-elected with a sizeable majority in 1995 quickly developed political cockiness. With the opposition transforming from the Progressive Conservatives to the Liberals to the Saskatchewan Party in the 1990s, there was a sense of invincibility in NDP ranks. Romanow’s near political death experience in 1999 took some of the starch out of the NDP, but the very fact that his government morphed into a “coalition” government with the Liberals restored some of that cockiness. The same could be said for Lorne Calvert’s narrow 2003 victory – an election win that wasn’t supposed to happen and one that gave the NDP an unusual fourth straight term. The problem with the Devine’s PCs nearly three decades ago is that there never was enough humility in their ranks after its re-

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

cord 56-seat win in 1982. And even the 1986 win in which the PCs actually got fewer votes than the NDP was hardly a humbling event. Rather, the PCs seemed to view it as carte blanche to continue governing in their big spending, deficit manner. But when you think back, the PCs were certainly no more arrogant than the 1970s NDP that also benefited from opposition splits and transition. The problem right now is that no Saskatchewan government has likely ever had as much reason to be cocky as the current Sask. Party administration. Besides its massive majority, it’s 64 per cent of the popular vote is a record. And as we discussed in this space last week, the massive majority victories of all but two of

its members – some of them with wins gusting to the high 70-percent and 80-per-cent level – means than virtually no government MLAs are feeling very threatened. Moreover, about half the caucus will have 15 years experience or more by the end of this term, meaning that it may be even harder for them to draw on the humility of being a new MLA. The very nature of large governments means those selected to cabinet begin to think they are the cream of the crop and those left to the backbenches sometimes become arrogant to deflect from their own short-comings. Also, this Sask. Party win forced the NDP to take a major step backwards. The decline, and perhaps demise, of the once-natural governing party is a major reason for arrogance. Finally, the strong economy already has some in the Sask. Party convinced this is result of their own genius rather that good fortune. Remaining humble may now be the Wall government’s greatest challenge.

Reader Opinions Coverage appreciated Thanks to everyone at the Gazette for all of your time and attention through the Delisle Rebels football season! Since day one of the season you have been supporting us. We appreciate your two and a half month commitment. It is great to see the boys coming into school on Thursdays excited to show me the Clark’s Crossing Gazette. You have provided them with a great way to identify themselves and build their self-esteem. On another note your cover photo by Pat Peckover in the November 17 edition is unbelievable!

Additionally, the story was well written. It is nice that in the future the boys and I will have your words to help them reminisce about the good old days.

NDP select Nilson as acting leader

John Nilson The Saskatchewan NDP has elected John Nilson to serve as acting leader of the NDP until such time as a new leader is chosen in a leadership race. In a meeting Saturday at Tommy Douglas House in Regina, the provincial council and elected NDP MLAs met jointly and unanimously selected Nilson, the MLA for Regina Lakeview, to serve as acting leader. “I am honoured to be selected to serve the NDP as acting leader,” Nilson said. “Our first task is to prepare for the upcoming fall session. Our caucus will work diligently as the Official Opposition to hold the government to account to ensure that all Saskatchewan residents benefit from our current resource boom.” Nilson was first elected in June, 1995, and has represented Regina Lakeview since then. He was appointed to cabinet as Minister of Justice and Attorney General in November, 1995, and has served in a number of portfolios, including Crown Investments Corporation, Health and Environment. Before entering politics, Nilson obtained his education at Pacific Lutheran University (Tacoma, Washington), the

Shining Silver Hepburn Hawks win silver medal at home in volleyball tournament By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

he Hepburn Hawks girls’ volleyball team claimed the silver medal at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) Provincial 2A Girls’ Volleyball championships held November 18-19 at Hepburn. The Hawks opened the tournament by defeating the Redvers Rams in two straight games and then went on to win the rest of their sets in Pool B round robin action. After the Redvers match, coach Neda Wilson said that her team took the first four rallies to get rid of their nerves, but then settled down. “Our offence played really well and we had some good hits, especially from Kristen Andres (3) and Katelyn Bushman (4)” she said.

“Our setter was amazing in that match. She converted a lot of passes into offensive moves.” Hepburn finished with a 4-0 record, followed by Foam Lake at 3-1, Redvers at 2-2, Cabri at 1-3, and Loon Lake Ernie Studer at 0-4. In Pool A action, Cudworth finished in first place at 4-0, while Ituna had a 3-1 record, Elrose was 2-2, Pierceland was 1-2, and Kinistino was 0-4. The top four teams from each pool advanced to the playoff round. Cudworth defeated Cabri in two straight sets, while Foam Lake beat Elrose two straight, as did Ituna over Redvers, as well. Hepburn defeated Pierceland 25-22 and 25-21 to continue their winning ways. Cudworth then lost 2-1 to Foam Lake, while Hepburn defeated Ituna 25-17 and 2520. That left Ituna and Cud-

worth to battle it out for the bronze medal, which saw Cudworth defeat Ituna two games to one to claim third place. In the gold medal game Hepburn faced the Foam Lake Panthers, hoping they could repeat their round robin performance where they defeated the Panthers two games to one. But, it wasn’t to be. The Panthers defeated Hepburn 25-19 and 25-18 to win the gold medal. “We had a couple of great games,” Wilson said. “It was a really good match. I really think that the two best teams ended up in the final.” The two teams were pretty evenly matched, but Foam Lake was just a little bit stronger and a little bit taller, she explained. “At the net, they blocked a lot of our shots,” she noted. “And they really covered everything. They played like they were on a much bigger court.” Overall, Wilson was pleased with the way the Hawks played. “We finished fourth at Provincials last year and there was an unspoken understanding that we would do better this year,” she stated. “We really pushed for it this year.” The Hawks put in a bid to host Provincials last year and found out they had won the bid in November, just after they learned they had won the SHSAA sportsmanship award. The team didn’t play in a league this year, but went to tournaments, usually at bigger schools, instead. And they did really well. “Our first tournament of the season we won,” Wilson said. “Then we kept getting second or third. The girls just kept working. We never lost sight of being sportsmanlike, but we kept it intense.” Wilson praised the effort of her Grade 12 players — Tracy-Lynn Willems,

Dressler, Getzlaf provide inspiration at football awards By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

eston Dressler listened to his coaches, but not his detractors. The talented Saskatchewan Roughriders all-star receiver told a crowd of young football players at Warman High School last week that ever since he started in the sport, he’s been told he was “too small” to succeed. He’s proved his critics wrong, but it took hard work, determination, and good coaching to make it to the professional ranks. “Since the first day I started when I was in fifth grade, people have told me that I was too small to play football,” Dressler said. “That’s been my whole story every step of the way. From middle school through high school and then in college and finally at the professional level, there’s always more than one person that’s told me I was too small. “So I guess any advice to any of the smaller guys out there, is that if you work hard and if you really believe in yourself, and understand what your strengths are as a player, you can continue to play this game as long as you want.” Dressler says it also takes good coaching to help players

achieve their potential. “I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of great coaches, but my favourite coach would probably be my receivers coach in college,” he said. “It’s funny because at the time, I absolutely hated the guy because I knew that after practice, in the film room, he was going to be all over me for every little mistake I made. I could feel like I had a perfect play and he would find something to correct me on. But it’s funny because looking back on it, I saw how much I improved as a receiver through four years with him as my coach, and I know that if he wouldn’t have been my coach, I wouldn’t still be playing football today.” Dressler, along with fellow Rider receiver Chris Getzlaf, was a keynote speaker at the Warman Football Association awards night on Thursday, November 17. The awards banquet marked the windup for both the Warman High School football team and the Warman Wolverines pee wee team. Dressler, 26, grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota, and since earning a starting spot with the Roughriders receiving corps four years ago, has been one of the team’s top players. He earned a degree in Business Management from the University of North Dako-

ta and currently works as Career Development Coordinator for the Riders, helping his fellow players find employment in Saskatchewan during the off-season. Chris Getzlaf, 28, was born and raised in Regina, where he played his minor football, high school, junior and college football before signing with the Saskatchewan Roughriders four years ago. Like Dressler, he said he had to push himself every step of the way to make it to the next level. “I grew up in Regina and started playing pee wee football when I was 13,” said Getzlaf. I played through bantam, high school and junior, and two years with the University of Regina Rams before being drafted to CFL. “But at every level, I always started at the bottom and worked my way up – from making the team to being on the practice roster and then getting some playing time, until finally landing a starting role,” he said. “So I guess my message is that it takes dedication, and you have to make the most of your opportunities. Anybody can play the sport. You just have to be willing to put in the time and effort.” Getzlaf said it’s easy to feel discouraged, “but you have to put your heart into it, and

Heide told the young players and their family members at the awards night that the establishment of the pee wee minor football team marks a big step for the sport in the community. “Our football year actually started in the spring with the 6-a-side tackle and Saskatoon Minor Football flag programs,” he said. “Both of these are awesome training grounds for young players to discover their niche in football and hopefully fall in love with the sport. This fall’s sea-

son has been exciting as our junior flag teams hit the fields, learning the basics of football and doing a lot of running. Our high school team continued to grow, making playoffs this year, despite some injured starters, and we had our first year with the Kinsmen Football League’s Pee Wee Division, suiting up 36 young footballers.” Heide said the installation of a new scoreboard on the south end of Neufeld Field will be a big boon for football next season, and added that the efforts of sponsors, volunteers and coaches are appreciated.

Steps being taken to correct the 2011 mess Well it all comes down to this. The 2011 CFL season has come down to a one game showdown for all the marbles between the BC Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers this Sunday at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. It’s the way it should be, really. Both teams finished atop their respective divisions and now, truly, the best team will win. Meanwhile our Roughriders will be watching the 99th Grey Cup from home. Having missed the playoffs 11114MC01

for the first time in a decade, the players on Canada’s Team have had a few weeks to decipher what went wrong. And if they know what it is, they’re keeping it to themselves. If misery loves company, then the Riders have a lot of it. The Alouettes, Stampeders and Argonauts all watched this weekend’s division finals on TV after participating in them one year ago. It should give us all hope for next year and so should Paul Lapolice’s Bombers who one year ago, were a league-worst 4-14. However this columnist

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

cautions not to refer to this 5-13 season of 2011 as a blip on the screen. Not by a long shot. There were mistakes. Plenty of them. There was an arrogance wafting through the locker room which drifted its way onto the field. We

were all guilty of it, so this is not to point fingers. However it needs to be rectified. Steps have already started to ensure the bounce back begins in 2012. The ugly, and dysfunctional management structure has been cleaned

up and everyone will answer to one man: GM Brendan Taman. And he now is in the process of finding a coach and re-signing players. The first of which is defensive tackle Keith Shologan who just completed his fourth season in Green and White. The Rochester, Alberta product dabbled with the notion of signing with his hometown Eskimos but realized if you’re a CFL player, Saskatchewan is the place to be. Shologan also noted the move to put Taman in charge is a sign the club is back on track. There is a moratorium on announcements not per-

taining to the Grey Cup this week so you won’t hear anything about player signings or a new coach with the Riders. However, Taman plans to interview Argos assistant Mike O’Shea and Ticats assistant Corey Chamblin this week for the job. Right now there appears to be no clear cut favourite. Slowly but surely things are turning around, and for the better. Richie Hall always says “the sun will come up tomorrow” and I’ve always disliked it as we wallow in the shadows of failure, no matter how brief they are. But lo and behold, it looks like he’s right.

Fury earn second victory of season at Wildcats expense By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Dalmeny Fury capitalized on their chances in the third period to edge the Warman Wildcats 6-5 in Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) action last Saturday. The win gave the Fury their second win in a row, bringing their record to 2-2 on the season and giving them some momentum going into their next game against Tisdale this Friday. The Fury got by the Hague Royals on Friday, November 18 by a score of 5-4. For the Wildcats, the loss was the second narrow defeat in two nights. The Rosthern Wheat Kings rolled into Warman on Friday, November 18 and handed the black-andgold Tabbies an 8-5 loss in a hard-fought game. “It was a hearbreaker,” said Warman coach Nathan

Harms after the game. “We weren’t able to get enough pucks past their goalie, even though we had quite a few chances. And we took a few too many penalties in the last period.” Daniel Block and Sheldon Erfle both scored twice for the Fury in the victory, while singles came from Brett Yarskie and Justin Edin. Cordy Harder added three assists. Kyle Yarskie was between the pipes for Dalmeny. The Wildcats spread the scoring around, with Dean Baptist, Cory Perkin, Jeff Neu, Shayden Regush and Riley Ethier getting the markers for the home team. Brock Hanson recorded his first start in net for the Wildcats. In the game against Rosthern the night before, the Wildcats’ Brett Hesterman and Cory Perkin each picked up a pair of goals and a pair of assists, with Cody Wutzke add-

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2011

This year’s ‘grinders’ matching last year’s ‘all-stars’ The expert analysis, previews and prognostications are being eviscerated by this new edition of the Saskatoon Blades. Who knew? Really, nobody saw this start coming! But, after 24 games the 2011-12 Bridge City Bunch own a 17-6-1 record for 35 points and sole possession of first place in the East Division, the Eastern Conference and the overall W.H.L. standings. The contents of this paragraph could’ve been copied from last season as the 2010-11 Blades went on from a 17-6-1 start to finish up with a franchise-best log of 56-13-3! A seven-game winning streak going into this week, the last five of which came away from Credit Union Centre, have vaulted this season’s Blades into being mentioned in the same breath as last season’s squad. “We’re playing ‘Blades Hockey’…60 minutes,” explained third-year defenceman Dalton Thrower when asked why the turnaround in fortunes on the road after a 3-61 start. “We didn’t do that at the beginning of the year and that’s what hurt us. Right now, we’re playing really (well) and we’ve just got to keep that going.” The definition of “Blades Hockey” this season appears to be hard work all over the ice with the help of stellar netminding from Andrey Makarov, a consistently-producing power play, staunch defensive zone coverage and scoring by committee. Can the “no stars” squad keep it up for 48 more games? That remains to be seen. Ultimately, the epitaph on this season won’t be written until after the playoffs next spring! ***** UPCOMING – A significant disparity in the number of road games played compared to those at home will be nar-

On Friday, they entertain the Calgary Hitmen, welcome the Vancouver Giants Saturday for a special edition Saskatoon Quakers’ jersey night before completing a four-game homestand next Wednesday against the Kootenay Ice. Once that game is complete, the Bridge City Bunch will have played 13 games at Credit Union Centre as opposed to 15 on the road. Game time for all home games is 7:05 p.m. with the radio broadcast on CKBL-FM (92-9, THE BULL) beginning at 6:30. ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – After two game-winning goals last weekend, Lu-

kas Sutter is out of the running to be the “favourite nephew” of his Uncle Brent Sutter…at least for a little while! On Saturday, the 18-year-old centre broke a 1-1 tie as the Bridge City Bunch nipped Red Deer 2-1. The Rebels are owned by Brent Sutter. He’s also the head coach of the N.H.L’s Calgary Flames…who own the W.H.L. Hitmen. On Sunday, Lethbridge product Lukas snapped a 5-5 tie with his second goal of the game to give Saskatoon a 6-5 triumph at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. Ranked 18th amongst W.H.L. skaters for next June’s N.H.L. Entry Draft by Central Scouting, Sutter has eight goals and 21 points in 24 games.

SCHOOL ADDITION

Continued from Page 3

Education for approval to construct an additional elementary school in Martensville, that project is aimed more at meeting long term needs, according to Kuzbik. The high school addition is intended to meet the needs of the community in the short term. According to the PSSD website, the expanded high school would absorb grades 7 and 8 students from Valley Manor and Venture Heights elementary schools. That would allow the existing elementary schools to accommodate larger numbers of students in the lower grades.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS Kuzbik noted that the PSSD is working in partnership with the City of Martensville on the proposed high school addition. A meeting between the Martensville City Council and representatives of the PSSD including Kuzbik, PSSD Board Chair Larry Pavloff and PSSD committee member Sam Dyck - took place Tuesday, November 15. Kuzbik said the discussion was productive. “We’re working on joint-use agreements,” Kuzbik noted. “There is a real willingness to work together and make things happen for the community in terms of the building itself and associated recreational facilities.” Kuzbik said the renovated high school has the potential to be “a key component of the community” by meeting the needs of the day to day school program and also the larger needs of the community. The partnership between the school division and the community is also taken into account by the government in determining building priorities. “I think that cost-sharing and partnership is really critical,” said Kuzbik. “It pushes it up the ladder if the partnerships are in place.” Kuzbik concluded that if the high school addition project is approved by the spring budget, it is realistic to expect the project to be completed by 2016. The PSSD Director of Education said the two communities experiencing the fastest growth - Martensville and Warman - are in real need of expanded school facilities. He added that Clavet, which is also seeing significant growth, will be able to accommodate higher student numbers in the next few years through the use of relocatable classrooms.

ville has steadily increased.

PROVINCIAL GROWTH The growth in these centres reflects the trend across the province. According to Enterprise Saskatchewan, province-wide urban housing starts in the first 10 months of 2011 were up by 33.2 per cent when compared with the same period last year. Nationally, urban housing starts increased by 3.7 per cent in the first 10 months

of 2011, according to Enterprise Saskatchewan. The provincial agency noted that multiple residential housing units in the province are up by 91.2 per cent while single detached units increased by 5.2 per cent over the same period. In October, 2011, urban housing starts in Saskatchewan were up by 85.1 per cent over October 2010, the third highest percentage increase in the nation and well ahead of the 21 per cent recorded nationally.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN You re popular this week, Capricorn. Colleagues look to you to help them see projects through, while old friends and new drop by for a visit.

LIBRA Like it or not, Libra, a colleague is here to stay. You could just learn to live with them, but why not get to know them instead? You might like them.

AQUARIUS Invites come left and right. Attend as many as you can, Aquarius, but don t overextend yourself. You have something important to finish at home.

SCORPIO Game on, Scorpio. The cat-and-mouse chase begins at work, and the only way you re going to win is if you play to win. Approach is everything.

PISCES Amazing events occur at every turn. Enjoy, Pisces. A memo lays out the itinerary for an upcoming project, and you play an important part.

SAGITTARIUS A question arises. Look within for the answer, Sagittarius. Preparation is key to making a repair. A last-ditch effort to get a project off the ground works.

ARIES The journey of self-exploration begins for a friend. Give them some space, Aries. A momentous occasion calls for a momentous venue. Start the search now. TAURUS Try as you might, Taurus, you cannot get a young friend to open up. Back off and leave them be. They will confide in you when they are ready. GEMINI Arguments get out of hand at home. Step in and play peacemaker, Gemini. A review of your finances reveals some easy ways to cut back and save more. CANCER Bad investments plague a relative. Be there for them, Cancer, but don t you dare bail them out. A hobby has been neglected for far too long. LEO Don t look now, Leo, but someone close to you is vying for your attention. A find at the grocery store tickles the taste buds. A package arrives. VIRGO The big day is almost here, Virgo. Review your itinerary and make sure you are ready. One misstep could throw everything off. An e-mail piques your curiosity.
