With the BC Lions bounced fromGrey Cup contention and the NHLlockout reaching critical mass, busi-nesses across the Tri-Cities are beingforced to re-invent themselves.

Golden Spike Pub office managerCharlene Williams said sales are downat the Port Moody business due to theNHL work stoppage, and her staff arelooking to offset those losses by organ-izing other events not typically held:fundraisers, poker nights and karaoke.

“Saleswise, we’re definitely affected

by it,” she said. “We have had to digdeep and be creative with the thingsthat we’re doing.”

Williams noted staffing levels havenot been affected by the loss of B.C.’stwo big-ticket teams, though the tem-perament of her patrons has changed.

“People’s demeanour is totally dif-ferent as well,” she said. “The sportspeople are not as excited. We’re get-ting closer to Christmas and peoplearen’t as happy as they usually are.Maybe the rain is kind of affect-ing things, but our crowds aren’t ashappy.”

A similar story is playing out atCoquitlam’s John B Pub, though bar

manager Owen Coomer said his estab-lishment has historically tried to caterto a number of different sports fans.

“There are places that have focusedon hockey only and they haven’t triedto figure out other ways of business,and those places are actually gettinghit really hard,” he said. “I feel bad forthem, but you have to think outside ofthe box.”

Like the Golden Spike, the John B isoffering fundraisers, parties and musicto fill the hockey gap, while also pro-viding prize packs around NFL gamesas an incentive to entice patrons.

And despite the lockout, Coomermaintains his business is enjoying a

boon in sales due to recent renova-tions.

However, he acknowledged ahealthy NHL season could onlyincrease those attendance numbers.

“It’s still disappointing, don’t get mewrong — [the lockout] is an absolutejoke,” he said.

“I’d love to have hockey games everycouple of days. But what it does is itallows us to showcase the other thingswe can offer.”

For several years now,Stacy Galt has lived infear.

Not only for herself, but forher cousin, Darcie Clarke.

The Tri-Cities residents livein fear of Allan Schoenborn,the child killer now in custodyat the Forensic PsychiatricHospital in Coquitlam.

Galt believes if Schoenbornis ever given freedom, he willkill her cousin, and go afterher too.

But the two women willget a measure of relief afterthe federal governmentannounced significant reformsto how the justice systemdeals with those considerednot criminally responsible orunfit to stand trial.

“I want to be able to walkout my door and know thatthere’s nobody there that’sgoing to get me, that’s goingto be looking for me — andDarcie wants the same,” anemotional Galt said Thursdayat a press conference in PoCoto announce the proposedchanges.

“We just want our childrento be protected, and we wantthem to grow up safe, andhopefully this [the legislation]is going to help.”

The proposed changesinclude lengthening the timebetween annual review hear-ings for offenders, givingvictims greater involvementin the process and ensuringpublic safety is at the centreof consideration when suchoffenders apply for escortedreleases.

Port Moody-Westwood-PortCoquitlam MP James Moore,who made the announcementon behalf of his government,called the proposed changes a“rebalancing” of the system tomake sure victims are at theheart of the legislation.

“To me it’s morallyunacceptable that victimsof a crime should be furthervictimized by a process that’sso blunt about their engage-ment in the process, and it’smorally wrong for victims ofcrime to not feel safe in theircommunity,” he said.

The MP couldn’t providespecifics on the legislation,citing parliamentary rules, butindicated full details of the

reforms will be made availablewhen the legislation is tabledin Ottawa in January.

The community was out-raged when it learnedSchoenborn, who killed

his three children in 2008 inMerritt but was ultimately

found not guilty of murderby reason of mental disorder,applied to the B.C ReviewBoard for escorted access tothe community to get a coffeeand go to a local pool.

Eventually, he withdrewthe request for escorted daypasses.

But Moore suggested thesituation with Schoenbornbrought shortcomings of thejustice system to light.

He said his government hasheard from victims who wanta greater voice in the system.

“The fact that victims livein fear because they can’t

have confidence that theywill know if, or when, theirabuser is free on a day pass intheir neighbourhood is simplywrong, unjust and offensive toCanadian instincts of justice,”Moore said.

Coquitlam Mayor RichardStewart, who at times hasbeen critical of the processsurrounding Schoenborn andthe review board, applaudedthe changes.

“We need to make it so thatvictims count a little bit inthe process,” he said, notinghe was embarrassed at howlittle input victims had in thereview process.

As for Galt, she thankedthe government and urged allMPs to support the legislation,suggesting it is what familiesof victims all across Canadahave been asking for.

In the meantime, theProvincial Health ServicesAuthority released what isessentially an FAQ on the for-ensic hospital’s security andsafety, after a pair of patientswent missing earlier this year.

The release noted since2010, a total of 42 unauthor-ized absences have beenrecorded, compared to 19,000leaves being granted.

There have been fiveabsences so far in 2012.

Earlier this year, twopatients went missing onunescorted day passes. DavidFomradas, 34, and GregorySchleen, 49, went missingfrom the hospital within daysof each other back in May.

Vancouver police pickedup Schleen in August, whilesix months later, Fomradasremains at large.

The pair’s disappearancesparked two reviews of thehospital’s unescorted day-passprogram and an outcry frompoliticians and nearby resi-dents.

The hospital also temporar-ily suspended the programuntil an internal review wascomplete.

The PHSA noted follow-ing the review in July, whichfound the hospital to be incompliance with all policiesand procedures, day passeswere reinstated.

The recent FAQ also notedthat if a patient fails to returnon time from an authorizedleave, even if it is for only 15minutes, the RCMP are noti-fied.

in the range of 50 per cent.The owner of the business

did not want his name orthe store’s name published,though he did note that lay-offs could come as soon asnext month if sales don’t pickup.

“At this time of year, wedo about 90 per cent in NHLsales — right now our NHLproducts are at about 20 percent,” he said.

“The shops that carry onlyNHL [products] — those guysare really suffering. I’m suffer-ing too, but not to the extentthat those other places are.”

Interestingly enough,the Tri-Cities Chamber ofCommerce hasn’t heard muchin the way of complaints frommember businesses over thelockout.

Michael Hind, the cham-ber’s executive director, notedthe chamber doesn’t have aformal position on the matter,though he empathizes withbusinesses across the countrythat are affected.

“I think the NHL strike ishurting a lot of businessesin a lot of different ways,” hesaid.

“I don’t know if the NHLand the players really trulyappreciate the effect it’s hav-ing across the country. I’d likethem to get back to work.”

One business that is seeingpositive gains from the lock-out, albeit modest ones, is theCoquitlam Express.

The club’s governor and

co-owner, Darcy Rota, saidthe team has experienced a“light increase” in attendancethat can be attributed to thelockout.

A former NHLer who playedin the league from 1973 to1984, including five seasonswith the Vancouver Canucks,Rota is in a unique position:his business could stand tobenefit if the lockout con-tinues, though he maintainsa vested interest in a leaguethat he loves.

“We could reap some ofthe fruits of no hockey, butI think we’re better servedwhen the National HockeyLeague is playing and peopleare talking about hockey in

a positive vein at all levels,”he said.

Though the spectre oftoday’s Canucks not taking tothe ice this season is becom-ing an ever-increasing reality,those who came before themwill be at the Poirier Sportand Leisure Centre tonight(Friday) as part of CanucksAlumni Night.

Among the formerNHLers in attendance willbe John Garrett, DennisKearns, Harold Snepts, JackMcIlhargey, Chris Oddleifson,Doug Halward, BlairMacDonald, John Grisdale andRota.

Fatal crash raises concerns about speeding

For most drivers, therereally isn’t anything thatstands out on ShaughnessyStreet in Coquitlam.

It’s a pretty basic road whenyou drive the speed limit.

But unfortunately forresidents living on a stretchof the street, a recent deadlycrash highlights a problemthey’ve been dealing with foryears.

Residents living in RiverSprings, a subdivision at thecorner of Shaughnessy andMetcalfe Way, know all toowell how dangerous the streethas become in recent years.

“We beg people to slowdown,” said Zeina Wilkins,who has lived in the area forfive years.

She told The NOW thespeeding problems alongthe road have only increasedin recent years, especiallywith the opening of theDavid Avenue connector,noting three accidents onShaughnessy in the sameweek.

Wilkins said she’d like tosee some measures taken toslow traffic, whether traf-fic circles, speed bumps orincreased police presence.

On Nov. 13, a 17-year-oldteen crashed his car into atree at the entrance to RiverSprings at around 4 p.m.

The boy died later in hospi-tal, and police said speed wasa factor in the incident.

A makeshift memorialfilled with candles and flowersmarks the spot of the crash.

Wilkins is convinced that,had the crash occurred anhour earlier as children ata nearby elementary schoolwere walking home, therewould have been more peoplekilled.

Raymond Sutherland waspulling out onto Shaughnessylast Tuesday at the same timethe crash occurred.

He said he saw a redblur quickly followed by anairborne vehicle just a fewmetres away.

Sutherland was one of thefirst to call 911.

He agrees with his neigh-bour that the road hasbecome more dangerous inrecent years, especially from

drivers using Shaughnessy toavoid traffic jams.

Sutherland would also liketo see something done to slowpeople down, including morepolice enforcement.

“If they [drivers] knew therewere cops hidden aroundevery corner along here, itmight slow it [Shaughnessy]down,” he said.

The posted speed limit atthe scene of the accident is 30km/h.

Hartmut Kieser and hiswife have lived in the subdiv-ision for more than 30 years.

The couple has also seenthe traffic and related prob-lems on Shaughnessy increaseover the years.

On the day of the accident,Kieser was home watchinga movie with headphoneson when he heard what hethought was thunder.

It was the car smashinginto a tree, narrowly avoidinghis fence.

A part of the car’s sunroofended up in Kieser’s backyard.

And, like his fellow neigh-bours, he wants to see somemeasures in place to stop the

carnage in their neighbour-hood.

“People treat this like thehighway,” Kieser said, notingdrivers have tried to pass himin the school zone.

Though he doesn’t likespeed bumps, he’s open to theidea if it slows people down.

Coquitlam Mayor RichardStewart acknowledged thecity has received many com-plaints about that stretch ofShaughnessy.

He’s asked city staff to takeanother look at the road.

However, Stewart suggested

the road is properly designedfor the posted speed, but driv-ers tend to push their limitsbeyond the capacity of theroad.

“It’s not a forgiving road for

that kind of speed,” he said.He added one option could

be to narrow the road to slowpeople down, but if a driveris intent on going too fast itmight not help.

Myths are powerful things, especially whenthey feature forces of good (“free enterprise”)and evil (“socialists”), and evoke heroes (BC

Liberals), villains (BC Conservatives) and monsters(NDP) to spin a good yarn that is rooted in fear andin distortions of blindly accepted “facts.”

Great myths derive their greatest power fromtheir retelling, to the point where lore is acceptedas “truth,” half-truths are accepted as fact, and real-ity approximates fiction. Such is the main myth ofBritish Columbia politics, which warrants new ques-tioning and inspection.

As explained by the Globe & Mail’sJustine Hunter and Ian Bailey, “Theright-wing forces stick together, usually,because British Columbia is by and largea province divided into only two politicalfaiths, with the NDP or its predeces-sor, the Co-operative CommonwealthFederation, on one side and some type of center-right coalition on the other. When the coalitionsplits, the NDP wins.” Gary Mason’s summary ofPremier Clark’s convention pitch echoed that argu-ment: “Any time there is a fracture in the so-calledfree enterprise coalition in B.C., the NDP wins...”

Not quite true.In eight of the Social Credit Party’s 11 wins,

Liberals were also elected. In four of those cases,so were Conservatives. Of the last 30 electionsin British Columbia, 27 have resulted in “freeenterprise” governments and 25 of them electedrepresentatives from at least three parties, and/orindependents. In 12 elections, four or more partieswon seats, not including independents. In threeinstances, five or more parties elected MLAs.

Since W.A.C. Bennett’s time, the BC Liberal Partywas the biggest vote-splitter of them all, typicallytaking about 20 per cent of the vote up until 1972,without depriving the Socreds of their consecutivemajority governments. The real reason the Socreds

lost so badly in 1972 was not just that there wereother parties; it was that the Socreds’ support plum-meted to 31 per cent, even as the BC Liberals’ sup-port also fell to its lowest level in B.C. history, whilethe NDP increased its vote to record levels.

Similarly, the reason the NDP was annihilated in2001 with only 21.5 per cent support was not justthat the Green Party took 12.4 of the vote; it wasthat Gordon Campbell’s Liberals earned 57.6 percent of all votes, thanks to many former NDP sup-porters who abandoned that party.

When the Socreds lost in 1991, it wasbecause their support plummeted to 24per cent — a level that is eerily close towhere the BC Liberals stand today. Wereit not for Gordon Wilson’s vote-splittingLiberals, who formed a large and strongopposition, the NDP’s majority wouldhave been even larger.

Even in the 1996 election that the NDP won withless of the popular vote than the BC Liberals, freeenterprise vote-splitting is, at best, a partial answer.If the BC Liberals had only earned another 3,340combined votes in 1996 in Burnaby North, Burnaby-Willingdon, Cariboo South, Kootenay, SaanichSouth and Vancouver-Fraserview, they would havewon the election with six more seats than the NDP.If Campbell’s party had even only won two of thosesix seats, with an extra 704 total votes there wouldhave been a minority BC Liberal government.Organization matters.

The reason the NDP now enjoys some 46-49 per cent support is not just because the BCConservatives are “siphoning off” votes from the BCLiberals, or that the Green Party is attracting its ownshare of support. It is that more voters than ever areprepared to vote for the NDP, including more than ahandful “free enterprisers.”

It is because the old “free enterprise versus social-ist” dichotomy is itself an aging myth that is not

wearing well with younger voters or in the modernCanadian liberal context. That entire ideologicalethos is largely a false distinction that died with theCold War and that is increasingly less relevant indriving voter choice.

The fact is, if the Green Party does not run a fullslate of candidates in 2013, which seems likely,the NDP’s voting universe will suddenly reach wellbeyond the 50 per cent mark that “free enterprisers”claim to own as their birthright.

A majority beats a minority every time.The BC Liberals’ main challenge is to win back

votes from the NDP as well as from the other parties,including the Conservatives and Greens. The onlyreason the Clark government’s fortunes look so direat present is because it has driven voters away toother parties across the political spectrum that hascut its support coalition in half. What history mainlyshows is that no governing party can win re-electionwith only 21 or 24 or 31 per cent support — espe-cially if any competitor enjoys the support of close toan absolute majority of decided voters.

The main reason why even more voters arenot now “parked” with the BC Conservatives isnot because of fear of the NDP. It is because Mr.Cummins’ party has revealed itself as a marginalforce that is still not ready for primetime.

It has alienated more voters than it has attractedwith weak leadership, extremist tendencies andinternal factionalism. Many of those traditionallyconservative-leaning voters will “hold their nose”and vote for the NDP unless they are given new posi-tive reason to return to the BC Liberal fold.

Myths are made to be reinvented. The real evil wedo is to vilify agents of political choice and to votein fear of ideological “monsters” largely of our ownmaking.

Separating political myth from reality

Re: “Residents oppose seniors’ housing,”Wednesday, Nov. 21.

I must say I am absolutely dismayed by theactions of the aforementioned localresidents.

Going beyond the obvious, this isa true-tale example of how many areafraid of building and fostering aninclusive community.

The reality is these facilities needto exist. It’s a fact that with risinghousing prices and overall cost of living in general,

people on fixed incomes (seniors or otherwise) arebeing stretched to their limit financially.

This project, though small in the size, is a pro-gressive step in creating a solution andmaking our community better.

To be frank, I say shame on theseresidents for taking a “Not in myNeighbourhood” approach, which inmy opinion is very short sighted.

Chris CarterPort Moody

Families are a good thing — no one willdispute that. And having a special day tocelebrate the importance of families is a

pretty good thing, too.While many will agree that making that day

a full-fledged day off work helps to emphasizethe family’s importance in our lives, lots offolks can offer pretty effective rationale thatmaking it a statutory holiday was unnecessary.

Many a persuasive case has been made thatB.C.’s new Family Day — set for the secondMonday in February 2013 —- has more polit-ical justification than societal.

The suggestion is that Family Day is justone more straw being grasped by a fading BCLiberal government led by a fading PremierChristy Clark.

She has made it clear that she stands solidlyon a “families first” agenda, so the introduc-tion of a Family Day holiday is really just anaffirmation of the basic beliefs that helpedplace her behind the premier’s desk.

Some, however, simply see it, and her appar-ent pride, as proof that she’s politicizing fam-ilies to try and rebuild some support for herparty and for herself.

Clark’s decision to throw a bucket of moneyat Family Day isn’t strengthening her case,either. She is in charge of a province that isseriously strapped for cash — the govern-ment’s civil servants and those who rely on theservices they provide are constantly remindedof it.

A million and a half bucks does seem agreat deal to spend on a party when you’reconstantly complaining that you don’t haveenough money to pay your regular bills.

What is really at stake if B.C. followsWashington state and Colorado andsuccessfully legalizes marijuana?

Money, of course, that other green sub-stance. Let’s start with the estimated value ofthe illicit pot growing industry here in B.C. It’soften claimed to be between $6 billion and $8billion, a fairly roughestimate given thatnone of the principalsare filling out anycorporate tax formsor quarterly earningreports.

Even if it’s lowerthan the estimates, it’s a huge industry. Bycontrast, in 2011 the entire forest industry hada value of just under $10 billion.

If the local pot growing economy goes legit,we’ll see some unusual effects, only some ofthem strictly economic.

Everyone who argues for legalization pointsout that we can then tax the bejezus out ofmarijuana. How much would that raise?

In B.C., the tax rate for small businesses is2.5 per cent, 10 per cent for big businesses.Let’s assume, very conservatively, that we getnothing but small Mom and Pop artisanal ganjagrowers and small-scale retailers. Let’s alsotake the lower $6 billion valuation of the indus-try. That would mean about $150 million inprovincial tax revenues off the top.

But wait! The cost of growing pot will dropsubstantially if it’s legal, and grown in theopen. Maybe it won’t be that costly to sell?Except that it will be taxed at the point of sale,too. So that’s another few million bucks a year.Sin taxes, plus sales taxes, add up quickly.

And that’s not even considering the federaltax implications. Then there are the personalincome taxes that would be paid by those legal-ly employed in the industry.

So what about effects beyond the purely taxa-tional? We have no grow ops in houses, becausegrowing outdoors or in greenhouses is cheaper,so there are a few more houses on the marketthan otherwise. Not enough to bring downprices, though.

We have a whole lot of unemployed crimin-als. Some fraction of them will go legit andturn themselves into small farmers and store-keepers.

Others will not make this transition. I’mthinking of the Langley man who stabbedanother man to death purely out of the suspi-cion that the other man might have stolen hispot plants. It’s hard to imagine a rage-filledkiller fitting in well at a chamber of commerce

meeting.So some gangsters are going to try to move

into the remaining illicit drugs, like heroinand cocaine. There might be a gang war as thecrooks fight over the pieces of a smaller pie.

While we’ll see more government tax rev-enues, this will be somewhat offset.

A significant number of small businesseswill close their doors. They’ll all be places thatcould plausibly accept a lot of cash payments:restaurants, bars, hair and nail salons, cornerstores and so on. Because in every communitywhere there are pot growers, there is a need tolaunder money.

In the long term, our society wouldn’t looka lot different. Some people smoke pot now;some people will never smoke it if it’s legal.(Like me.) People commit crimes now; they’renot going to stop if pot is legal.

Things could be a bit more stable, both tax-and crime-wise in the long term, but it won’tturn B.C. into a magical land of unicorns andpixies.

But we don’t make policy decisions based onfalse ideas that we will create utopias or dysto-pias.

We should make them based on what seemslike best practices. To me, it looks like thingswould be better with legal marijuana than withthe current system.

ties. The union is looking for the same dealCUPE support workers at universities ratifiedrecently, a two-per-cent raise each year in atwo-year contract.

The colleges have been offered one per centa year for two years.

“Why would we get offered half? It’s non-sensical,” Mountain told The NOW.

She argued the support staff do the samework as their university counterparts anddeserve the same agreement.

Mountain said she hopes the job action willspur the government to offer a better deal.

As a show of support Wednesday, DouglasCollege faculty joined the rainy picket lineswith support staff.

Mountain acknowledged some students maybe unhappy losing a day of class, but suggestedit’s not the union’s intention to hurt students.

“The last people I want to hurt are the stu-dents,” she said, noting many are sympatheticto the employees’ plight.

“We need a living wage. We need a workableliving wage.”

Barb Thompson, a receptionist at theCoquitlam campus for 17 years, said she’shoping for a quick end to the labour strife.

She’s conflicted by the strike, noting herown son is missing class at the campus.

“My passion is for the students, so it is avery mixed feeling to not be inside the buildingoffering those services today,” she said.

However, Thompson said she stands firmlybehind the union, pushing for equity betweenthe colleges and universities.

Support staff at a handful of other col-leges throughout the province went on strikeTuesday. There is no word on if or when theemployees might consider walking off the jobagain for the day.

Shelter numbers up this year

The area’s newest servicemodel for the local homelesspopulation has produced adramatic increase in the num-ber of people accessing thoseservices.

Close to two months intoits inaugural year in oper-ation, the Tri-Cities BridgeShelter has seen a jump inattendance at its locationat the Kingsway Campus ofNorthside Church in PoCo.

“Things have gone reallywell. We’ve had a lot strongerattendance than we did inthe last few years,” said RobThiessen, managing direc-tor of the Hope For FreedomSociety, the non-profit oper-ator running the shelter.

At this time last year, about10 to 12 clients were access-ing shelter services, whereas20-plus people have visitedthe shelter nightly through-out November.

Thiessen and other home-less advocates attribute thespike in numbers to a changein the shelter format.

This year represents thefirst season the homelessservice delivery model haschanged.

For the past five years,the cold wet weather matprogram operated in fivechurches spread across theTri-Cities in a format that sawpeople bused in from variouspickup points. Under the for-mer model, no walk-up clientswere allowed, and people wereunable to bring items such as

shopping carts and bikes.The Bridge Shelter format,

however, allows for both ofthose aspects and is locatednear the Coquitlam River,which is viewed as “groundzero” for those without ahome.

However, the spike inshelter attendance numbersdoesn’t necessarily meanthere are more homelesspeople in the area. Thiessen’sgroup has seen a decreasein the number of homelessyear over year in the society’sannual homeless count — 215homeless people were countedin 2008 compared to 48 talliedlast year.

“We always thought therewere some inherent bar-riers to the cold weathermat program,” said SandyBurpee, chair of the Tri-CitiesHomelessness and HousingTask Group. “Apparently somepeople who are homelessdidn’t want to get on a busand they didn’t want to bedriven out of the neighbour-hood in which they felt com-

fortable. They were concernedabout where they might betaken.”

In an interview Wednesday,Port Coquitlam Mayor GregMoore said the city’s bylawservices haven’t fielded anycomplaints regarding theshelter from residents.

Coquitlam RCMP Const.Jamie Chung also told TheNOW local Mounties havenot been called to the sheltereither.

“So far things have gonepretty good,” Moore noted.

The shelter’s new locationnow serves as one-stop hubfor those in need, as it alsoplays host to a food bank,

clothing co-op, and otherservices.

“It is in a spot now wheresomeone that’s seeking help,whether they need help withbetter clothing or they needthe outreach services, it canall be found in that one loca-tion,” Moore said.

Like its name implies, theshelter project is intended tobridge the gap between theend of the cold wet weathermat program and the openingof the permanent homelessshelter and transitional hous-ing facility at 3030 GordonAve. in Coquitlam.

That facility is expected toopen in 2014.

Sometimes, you’ve just got to getaway for a few days.

But when there’s a cat to carefor, planning a simple weekend tripcan be difficult.

You don’t want to leave your bestfriend alone, but you also want to givekitty all the comforts of home.

Enter the Phat Cat Inn in Anmore.As its name would suggest, the inn

is essentially a hotel for cats — butthink of it more along the lines of theRitz-Carlton.

Rather than leaving a kitty in a cageat a traditional boarding environment,the Phat Cat Inn offers individualrooms with all the fixings to keep anyfeline feeling fine.

The hotel is the brainchild of KathyRichardson.

The mom and entrepreneur ran a

successful dog grooming business for15 years, but carpel tunnel syndromeput an end to that career.

Richardson had always thoughtabout starting a hotel for cats.

“I’m always insearch of a moresimple life,” she toldThe NOW.

So in 2011, the46 year old fixed upan old barn on hersix-acre property inAnmore to become apet hotel magnate.

She transformedthe barn into an 11-unit hotel with roomsoffering nine-foot ceil-ings and an average of26 square feet of floorspace per cat.

Every room has a window, withcorner suites having two. Tile floorswere installed to create a sterile

environment with in-floor heating forcold winter months and a ventilationsystem in each room.

As Richardson noted, it’s all partof her mission to keep cats and their

owners happy.“The most gratify-

ing thing that I getwhen they [clientele]pick up their cat iswhen they say theydidn’t have any worryat all,” she said.

“They knew theircat was in good handsand not in a cage.”

A stay at the hotelcosts $26 per night.

The fee includeslitter, bedding andbowls and, of course,some attention from

Richardson.And it appears cat owners are

searching out her venture.

Rooms are booked until January,while stays at Christmastime arenearly full.

While most clients are from theTri-Cities, Richardson notes there aresome cats coming from Richmond,North Vancouver and the FraserValley.

Owners range from couples in their20s to the elderly going in for a med-ical procedure who need to have theircat taken care of.

Richardson suggested there’s astigma toward cat owners and the catworld, and said people are surprisedwhen they meet her and see the hotel.

“They’re just surprised I’m not oneof those crazy cat ladies,” she joked.

Far from it, she just wants catlovers to know there are other optionsbesides sticking a beloved pet in acage.

Angel Tree aids those in needEnvision Financial is

launching its Angel Tree pro-gram for a third consecutiveyear to spread some holidaycheer to those in need.

All Envision Financial loca-tions, including Envision’sbranch in Coquitlam, willdisplay a decorated Christmastree with angel ornaments,each representing a child,youth or senior in the com-munity.

Members of the generalpublic are encouraged to takean angel from the tree andreturn it with a new andunwrapped gift to any partici-pating location by Dec. 8. Allgifts and/or cash donationscollected will be delivered toa local non-profit agency orChristmas bureau. In addi-tion to selecting an angel offeach tree, beginning this year,people also have the option ofselecting a tin can ornament

off the tree, and returning itwith a non-perishable fooditem or cash donation.

“The statistics really speakto the need for this program,”says Susan Byrom, managerof corporate citizenship atEnvision Financial.

“One in five children in B.C.live under the poverty lineand this year alone, B.C. foodbanks served over 28,000 kids.That’s why we are so proud ofour Angel Tree Program. Byparticipating, local residentshave the opportunity to makethe holidays brighter for fam-ilies, children and seniors inour communities.

“In 2011 our Angel Treeprogram gave 600 Christmasgifts to residents in our localcommunities and this year wewant to give even more.”

This year, Envision has cre-ated a video to share the mes-sage of the Angel Tree pro-

gram, which can be viewed atwww.youtube.com/envision-financial. For every view,Envision will donate $1 to theAngel Tree program (up to$10,000), which will then bedistributed to the program’scommunity partners.

In 2010, four Envisionbranches participated in theAngel Tree program to pro-vide new, unwrapped toysto children in the Delta and

Surrey communities. In 2011,this annual holiday givingprogram expanded to include15 branches supporting eightcommunities. This year, allEnvision branches will beparticipating in the program,and Angel Tree has beenexpanded into the Okanagan,Similkameen and Thompsonvalleys and will be supportedby Valley First, Envision’sregional partner.

Get a meat thermometerOver the years I have

discovered many simplemethods that will help

easily perfect meals. Some areso obvious, like a meat therm-ometer, that I find it bizarreto come across a householdthat does not have one.

During the approach oftraditional holidays likeThanksgiving, Christmas andEaster I seem toget bombardedwith questionsabout how longa turkey shouldcook. AlthoughI appreciate theopportunity forhelping peoplein the kitchen,the answer to mealways seems soobvious that it is surprisingmore people don’t alreadyhave the solution.

Not only will a simple oven-proof meat thermometer helpto save your turkey dinner, itwill also be the resolution tomastering the doneness of amyriad of meat roasting reci-pes. I have owned my currentmeat thermometer for prob-ably close to 15 years now andit is still going strong. Notbad for an investment of onlya few dollars.

When you buy a therm-ometer, be certain you arepurchasing one that is heatresistant (ovenproof) so it canbe left in the piece of meat forthe entire cooking process.If an instant-read thermom-eter is used instead and thetemperature is checked at anumber of intervals, valuedjuices will be lost from themeat with each puncture. Oneof the most important goalsin cooking meat is to keep itmoist while still reaching thedesired doneness.

The area of a turkey wherethe thermometer should beinserted is the thickest partof the inner thigh withouttouching the bone.

A stuffed turkey shouldbe done when it reads 180F(82C), and an unstuffed one at170F (77C).

You should also notice thatthe legs move easily whentwisted and the juices run

clear. There is a difference inthese two temperature read-ings because a stuffed turkeyis denser, and the stuffingneeds to reach a high enoughtemperature to kill any bac-teria.

This being said, I do real-ize that people appreciateapproximate cooking timesto effectively coordinate side

dishes to the maincourse, and it isfor this reasononly that I willprovide guidelinesfor you. Do notuse these par-ameters as yourmain indicationof doneness, butrather as an addi-tional plan to your

trusty meat thermometer.For example, if you cook yourturkey in a 325F (160C) oven,allow for the approximationsof time seen in the chart atthe top of this page.

There are many factorsthat will play havoc on thefinal accuracy of the cookingtime: the temperature of theturkey prior to roasting, thetemperature of the stuffing (ifused), or maybe your oven isrunning a bit hotter or colderthan the set temperature.

Where you decide to pur-chase your meat thermometer

is not important, as they areavailable almost everywhere.What is important is that youget one and enjoy the benefitsof it for years to come.

Dear Chef Dez:“I heard that it is import-

ant to let a (turkey) ‘rest’when it comes out of theoven, before carving it. Is thistrue, and why?”

Brad B.Abbotsford

Dear Brad:This is true. Actually it is

true with all cuts of meat.The “resting” period givesthe meat time to adjust fromextreme heat to room tem-perature. During the cookingprocess, the high heat causesthe atoms in the molecularstructure of the meat to moveat a high rate of speed. If themeat is cut into soon after ithas been removed from theoven, grill or pan, it will losea large degree of the vitaljuices that keep it moist andflavourful.

Chestnuts grown hereare probably toxic

“My mother picked a wholelot of chestnuts off the frontlawn this year in Kerrisdale(Vancouver). Are they, in fact,edible? I have been told thatour variety that grows here isnot.”

Danna de Grootvia e-mail

Two differentchestnut speciesgrow here. Onekind is edible, theother is poison-ous.

The toxic kind(the horse chest-nut) is the onethat is most frequently grownhere and it’s very likely this isthe one your mother picked.

The horse chestnut hasvery large leaves composed offive leaflets attached by shortstems to one sturdy, mainstalk. The nuts tend to berounded and there is usually(though not invariably) onenut in each spiny case.

Horse chestnuts are defin-itely unsafe. They have beenknown to cause nausea, diar-rhea, loss of co-ordination,weakness, paralysis and, attimes, even death.

The edible kind is calledthe sweet chestnut. This hasoval leaves with serrated sides.Each leaf is on its own stalk.The top of the nut is pointedand often one side is flatwhile the other is rounded.Frequently two or more nutsshare space in one spiny cap-sule.

“We have a very healthy10-year-old wisteria whichgrows plenty of foliage butonly produces two or threeblooms each year. It faces

west and is growing over anarbor. We have tried fertil-izing, extra watering, lesswatering and hard pruning,all with the same result. Howcan we help the plant produce

more flowers?”Theresa

O’Connorvia e-mail

Quite a fewgardeners haveproblems gettingwisteria to bloom.I wonder if yoursgets enough sun.Just becauseit’s facing west

doesn’t mean it gets abun-dant sun. Are tall trees or tallbuildings in the way, turningwhat should be full sun intopartial sun?

There’s often delay in get-ting a wisteria to flower, butsix years is usually the longestyou can expect if your wisteriawas grown from cuttings.Seed-grown plants can waiteven 10 to 12 years. I wonderif you bought the plant your-selves or inherited it whenyou bought your home.

What is under your controlis fertilizing. High-nitrogenfertilizer is definitely to beavoided because this encour-ages the vine to produce evenmore leaves, stems and suck-ers than it would normally. Itcould be your soil has becomeoverly rich from the fertiliza-tion you’ve already done.

Many gardeners prunewisteria, not only hard butalso very frequently. It’s notuncommon to find thempruning long, new whippygrowth and suckers once amonth in mild winters. Oncethe pergola or arbor is cov-

ered, they keep cutting theyoung growth back so the wis-teria continues to fit into thespace it’s been given.

In late winter, the futureflower buds will be the round,fat ones. The vegetative budsare thin and pointed.

I think your chances of get-ting more flowers are goodsince you already have a few.

PoCo contestcuts the trashPort Coquitlam residents

who are serious about losingwaste are invited to enter acity contest kicking off inJanuary.

Contestants can sign upnow for the city’s secondWaste-Loss Challenge, inwhich four households willcompete to reduce what theysend to the landfill fromJanuary to April 2013 whilethe community follows theirjourney through blogs, video,Facebook andadvertise-ments.

Prizesinclude thenew iPad, aniPod Touch,KindleReader, andone-night stayin a themeroom donatedby PoCo Innand Suites.The iPadprize has beensponsored by Urban Impact,which provides the city’srecycling service.

The four households willalso receive a year’s supply ofcompostable paper food scrapbags donated by Bag to Earth.

“We’re seen as leaders inmanaging waste, and one ofthe reasons for our success isthat we’re continually work-ing to engage the communityto make change,” Mayor GregMoore said in a press release.

“If we can inspire and learnfrom each other, that’s evenmore powerful.”

Residents are invited tocomplete an online entryform or submit a video entrythrough www.portcoquitlam.ca/wasteloss. The deadline toapply is Monday, Nov. 26.

Contestants are soughtfrom a variety of differenthouseholds, including fam-ilies with children, couples,individuals and seniors. Onlyhouseholds receiving citygarbage collection may par-ticipate. The contest launchfollows Waste Reduction Weekin October, which inspiredCanadians to come up withunique, creative ways toreduce waste.

“We all want to do our bestto reduce waste,” said Coun.Brad West, who heads thecity’s environmental enhance-ment committee.

“The Waste-Loss Challengeis about looking at waste ina different way, and treatingrecyclables, food and plantmaterial as resources thatdon’t belong in the landfill.”

The contestants will benamed in early December.

From January to April, thecity will monitor and weighwhat contestants set out tothe curb to proclaim thewaste-loss champion duringEarth Week from April 16 to22.

The community will beinvited to follow contestants’waste-loss journeys throughblogs, Facebook posts, videosand advertisements, and thenvote in April for their favour-ite waste loser for a chance to

win prizes.The con-

test is partof the city’sWaste-LossChallenge,whichencouragesresidents to“watch theirwaste-line”and thinkclosely abouthow theydispose of theunwanted

material in their household.Earlier this year, resi-

dents shared their waste-lossstories for a chance to winprizes through the Waste-LossChallenge’s first contest.

Port Coquitlam residentscurrently divert 63 per centof their waste away from thelandfill and save tens of thou-sands of dollars each year indisposal fees.

The contest and Waste-LossChallenge intend to push thatdiversion rate to at least 70per cent, the regional goal forMetro Vancouver.

Residents can watch theirwaste-line by:

• Putting all recyclables(e.g. clean and dry tins, plasticand paper) into the blue cart.

• Putting all food scraps,food-soiled papers and plant/yard trimmings into the greencart.

• Getting a backyard com-poster for fruit, vegetablescraps and other compostables(see www.portcoquitlam.ca/composting).

• Bringing glass to one ofsix glass depots (see www.portcoquitlam.ca/bluecart forlocations).

• Bringing small appliancesand electronics to return-itcentres (see www.portcoquit-lam.ca/recyclingdirectory).

• Bringing refundable drinkcontainers, milk cartons andbeverage/food tetra paks tothe bottle depot.

• Donating or selling otherunwanted items.

Family

Teach kids about empathy during ChristmasChristmas is a time for

giving and receiving.Many parents are

concerned that for theirchildren, it is only a time forreceiving.

We want to buy gifts for ourkids; we want them to have agreat time. But at the sametime, we wantthem to knowhow fortunatethey are.

How can wehelp our kidsbecome aware ofother childrenwho are needy?How can we helpthem developempathy? And isthat the same as sympathy?

Not exactly. When we aresympathetic we feel badlyabout another’s situation. Wecare. When we are empathet-ic, we can put ourselves in theshoes of another.

For example, we see aneighbour carrying a bag ofgroceries. She trips and falls,spilling the contents all overthe road. We are sympatheticand run to make sure she’sOK. We help her get back upon her feet and we pick up thespilled groceries.

If we are empathetic, weact the same way but can putourselves in her place. We areaware of what she may be feel-ing while we help her back onher feet.

So how do we do this withour kids? And, more import-antly, how can we do it at thistime of year when they aregetting so much?

Young children are self-

centred. They see the worldthrough their own eyes andexperiences and this is typicaland developmentally appropri-ate. They are also concretethinkers. They understandwhat they can touch and see.

So simply talking about thereality for less well-off kids is

not as successfulas giving themconcrete actionsto take.

One way youcan help them notonly be empathet-ic but also gener-ous and helpful toother children isto take a look atthe World Vision

(worldvision.ca/gifts) cata-logue.

You’ve heard about peoplewho buy chickens, a goat ora cow for a struggling family.You can let your child makethe choice. This is concrete.The catalogue will show younot only what is available butalso exactly how it helps afamily.

And your child will knowthat he thought outside ofhimself and his needs. He puthimself in the place of a childwho needs food or water. It’sreal and worthwhile, and agreat gift for the grandparentswho have downsized and donot need more stuff.

You can also sit down withyour child and go through histoy collection. Which toys hashe outgrown? Are they stillin good shape? If so, donatethem to an agency or organ-ization that can use them andbring your child with you to

drop them off.Children can also become

involved in Christmas-relatedvolunteerism.

Is your church or schooldelivering food baskets? Haveyour child participate. Andhave her donate some food.This is real. She will be ableto place her donation in thebox and see it as part of thepackage.

I also think that kids shoulddo some of the shopping. Alltoo often there is a gift underthe tree for Mom from three-year-old Erika, but Dad chose,bought and wrapped it.

There is a real discon-nect. Kids who shop for theirparents need to try to think

about what their mom or dadwould like.

It doesn’t matter if theychoose appropriately. It mat-ters whether they learn to beempathetic, to put themselvesin the place of their parents.

Kids can also becomeinvolved in all preparationssurrounding the holidays.

They can make cards forrelatives and friends, they canprepare name cards for theguests, and they can becomehosts who answer the door.

In all cases they are think-ing beyond themselves; theyare planning to make othershappy and comfortable.

They are becoming empa-thetic.

Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours isheaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C.Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not havingto use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no moresnoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be ableto roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with.Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with theseproblems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results.Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

SLEEPAPNEA?

#23

Helps to activatenaturally millions ofstem cells from our ownbone marrow. The increasein stem cells released fromthe bone marrow into theblood stream have thepotential to become othertypes of tissue cells withspecialized function. Stemcells will multiply and areable to become heart cells,liver cells or any otherorgan. Located everywherein our body, stem cells areeven under our skin layered between the epidermis anddermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under ourskin may help to create a more youthful cell that wouldreplenish elastin and collagen and thus may make uslook younger. If our bone marrow does not produceenough stem cells this can result in many illnesses,especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in factall healthy functions of our body are decreased.Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential ofself-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It doesnot contain live human stem cells as these can only betransplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection.Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experiencein writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used forall organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury,muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus,spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage.The results have been very satisfactory to us and to thepatients and the time varies with different patientsdepending on the extremity of the damage.Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem CellActivator:!Women looking for anti-aging help!We all want to slow down aging.

There is heartbreak, and thenthere is heartbreak.

The Archbishop Carney Starscan be excused for having acase of both.

The senior AA boys soc-cer team rallied to force extratime, and forced their B.C.championship final with theOkanagan Mission Huskies topenalty kicks before falling 2-1at Burnaby Lakes Complex onWednesday.

It was just Carney’s secondloss of the season, but this onewill resonate for a long time.

“It’s the most frustratingpart of soccer — in a shootoutthere’s no chance to counter,”said Carney coach Mate Zvicer.“It just comes down to whomisses first.”

Under chilly, wet conditions,both teams appeared deter-mined not to make a mistake— while not letting the gruel-ling five-games-in-three-daysschedule show.

Scoreless at the half,Okanagan’s Andrew Stevensonknocked in the first goal earlyin the second frame with a lowheader that eluded the Starsnetminder. The Huskies estab-lished a bit of momentum offthat goal, but the tide turnedwhen Carney pushed forward,with a couple of good scoringopportunities falling short.

In the 70th minute Carneycashed in the equalizer, asBryan Cadman blasted in arebound off a Mike West shotto tie it.

The PoCo school then continuedtheir attack, missing wide on acouple of good crosses.

“Our strategy to start the secondhalf was to pick up the pace onthese guys, move the ball and bemore aggressive,” noted Zvicer. “Itwas a rough start because they gotthat goal, which was more us press-ing too much.”

The game plan would producethe tying goal and allowed for acouple of other scoring opportuni-ties before regulation ended.

In two 10-minute overtime ses-sions, neither team could bury thewinner, resulting in penalty kicks todecide a provincial champion.

It also put the players in charge— as they gathered on the fieldwith the first five shooters selectedby the coaches, followed by whostepped up next.

“We made sure to have the firstfive guys selected [to shoot], butafter that it was just the players. We

[coaches] weren’t allowed on thefield, so there was no chance for afinal pep talk or anything.”

On their first shot, Carney rangit off the crossbar. Miraculously, theHuskies first shot was tipped wideby a diving Cole Dowling to set thestage for a marathon showdown.

From that point, each shooter hitthe back of the net until the Stars’seventh shooter shot wide.

For a brief moment, Okanagankeeper Mike Sexton raced out of hiscrease to celebrate a provincial vic-tory, forgetting that his squad stillneeded to score to salt it away.

Jesse Nanci did just that, spark-ing a huge pile-on for the victorious— and undefeated Huskies.

“It was a tremendous game, Igive [Carney] full credit for playingus very tough,” noted Okanagancoach Tony Overton. “This was aseason to remember, we didn’t loseonce and [Carney’s] goal was thefirst goal we gave up in this tourna-ment.”

It was a tough loss, but Zvicer

was pleased with his team’s perfor-mance.

“Really, we did everything wecould... Hat’s off to Okanagan— they played a great game. Theylined up in a 4-5-1 and it was astrategy they really stuck to. Theyknew when to pass, they knewwhen to press.”

It was only the second loss of theseason for the Stars, who advancedto the championship final with a

dramatic 1-0 win over Cariboo Hill.A goal by Jorge Brizuela on the finalplay of the game was the difference.

Earlier, the Fraser Valley champi-ons had racked up victories over DPTodd (5-0), Gulf Islands (2-0) andSummerland (1-0) to move on tothe semifinals.

Carney’s Michael North wasamong the Golden Boot winners,while Cadman was named to theCommissioners 11.

Ken Wood may need to trade in his trade-mark straw fedora for a pith helmet.

The former vice-president and generalmanager of the Coquitlam junior A Adanacsis returning to the sport, this time as the B.C.Junior A Lacrosse League president.

He was confirmed in that position duringthe B.C. Lacrosse Association’s annual gen-eral meeting last month.

“This should be exciting, I’m really lookingforward to helping steer the league in a moreprofitable direction,” the Coquitlam residenttold The NOW. “Awhile back I was asked if I’dconsider serving as president. I gave it somethought and have agreed to do it.”

Wood ran the junior Adanacs program— which included all four A and B junior andintermediate clubs — for eight years beforeturning over the reins after the 2011 season.

He is eager to roll up his sleeves and work-ing with the league governors and a newcommissioner — when one is found, that is.Wood replaces Al Lang, who held both posi-tions during the past season after the resig-nation of commissioner Don Scott.

Wood was first offered the commissioner’spost — which deals with on-floor items suchas disciplinary issues and scheduling — butchose to accept the president role where hecould use his business experience to take onthe league’s administrative and corporatesponsorship challenges.

“Let’s face it — you don’t have a lot ofpeople lining up to fill these volunteer posi-tions,” said Wood. “There will be a lot ofmeetings, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Despite moving on from the Adanacs a yearago, he spent the past eight months chairingthe league’s strategic development commit-tee, which looked at ways the eight-teamcircuit could improve its fiscal foundation.

“We did the strategic plan and I served asthe chair,” noted Wood. “The role of the pres-ident is to look after more of the administra-tive duties for the league, how to raise moneythrough sponsorships, partnerships, record-ing trades and players’ lists, and being themain contact for the league for the media.”

While the league has benefited from anincrease in on-floor parity over the past twoseasons, attendance continues to be a strug-gle league-wide. Raising the circuit’s profilethrough promotion and linking with corpo-rate sponsors are areas where Wood feels hecan best help.

“Definitely on the corporate side, nothingis happening. The sky’s the limit right now.”

The BCJLL governors also voted to re-instate the Junior Entry Draft for 2013, aftera two-year hiatus after a contentious vote byB.C. lacrosse members. Eligible players willbe midget graduates from Lower Mainlandand Vancouver Island associations that arenot home to junior A franchises.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Nov. 25 - Dec. 1, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Many barriers,disruptions and sudden new conditions haveassaulted you over the last several years. The weeksahead bring a gentle, wise view of these “assaultsof fortune.” You’ll understand, you’ll see society andits ways and your place in it. You’ll see your journeythus far, and the potential forward directions. By lateDecember you’ll be mentally and spiritually refreshed,ready to charge the ramparts of ambition once again.Meanwhile, love, travel, learning and culture fill yourdays. Monday ends sexual, financial delays. Protectreputation Tuesday. Home succeeds Saturday.Taurus April 20-May 20: Recent delays endMonday – you can confidently make new plansand/or start new projects. The weeks aheademphasize depths, mysteries, intimacy, “treasures,”commitment and consequence.You might march intoa more significant bonding with someone you met inlate October (or someone who returned to your lifein November) – this can involve love or business,friends or “your audience.” Pursue money theseweeks (Wednesday important) – you face a verylucky potential here. Your energy and charisma soarearly week – start something! Trips, communicationshard Friday, easy Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: Recent delays endMonday afternoon, so step forward, start projects, ormake relationship overtures (in love and business).The weeks ahead feature many meetings, new people,fresh horizons and new opportunities. You mightrelocate, sign or negotiate a contract (most likely, awork/service agreement) or meet a new attractivepersonwho challenges,unsettles you,but could be your“right partner.” Rest, lie low Sunday to Tuesday eve. Afinancial, health or sexual matter reaches a hopeful(but lucky?) climax Tuesday. Your energy, charismaclimb midweek. Good money moves Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The weeks ahead featurework, though some “heart memory” of an attractionremains to relieve any drudgery. (It’s might be morethan relief: a relationship could blossom into romanticintensity.) Recent delays endMonday, so you canmoveforward, start new projects and relationships, and givepromises, especially in the zones of work, machinery,health and dependents. Your optimism, popularityand happiness rise Sunday to Tuesday. Retreat, restmidweek. Your energy and charisma move upwardFriday (challenges) and Saturday (success!). Be waryof an ambitious partnership early week.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A month of increasedromance, (good) risk, lucky speculation, creativityand self-expression, pleasure and beauty has justbegun. Threaded through all this pleasure will bevarious chores (legal, intellectual, writing chores?)and domestic demands. Don’t neglect these, asthey might, oddly enough, prove supportive to yourromantic, creative (etc.) interests. Avoid new startsthrough Tuesday afternoon. This day needs carewith machinery, work, exertion. Happiness strikesmidweek! Social joys, romance, popularity arrive;wishes come true. Retreat, rest and plan, Friday/Saturday.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The weekly accent lieson home, kids, real estate, security, sales territory,retirement, nutrition, garden/farm, basement,landscape, and your foundations in career and love.Recent delays end Monday, though indecision lingersfor a week or two. By Wednesday you can start mildlysignificant projects in career or more significant onesin home areas, real estate, etc. Your career projectmight be in real estate (etc.) or you might end onejob/career, to make room for a new one. If you are ina romance, the weeks ahead intensify it – and yourcourage. The physical side grows hot.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Be gentle on the home front,reduce temper and impatience, until late December.A young child might be colicky. This interval willstrain a weak love, marriage or business alliance. Itcan also bring a real estate oriented “partnership.”Monday ends November’s delays, but DON’T investnor make a commitment before Tuesday night. Love,wisdom, travel, higher learning and culture draw youmidweek – act Wednesday. Friday frustrates careerinitiatives; Saturday helps you succeed (in career,status, dealings with authorities). The weeks aheademphasize travel, communications, friends.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Recent delays endMonday – but wait until Tuesday night, Wednesdayto initiate any important action. Midweek favoursinvestments, financial rearrangements, research,lifestyle changes and physical intimacy. Friday/Saturday bring a broad, gentle outlook, possible love,certainly mellowness, wisdom. You’ll meet barriersand opposite opinions Friday, sweet congress andsuccess Saturday. This week and the next fewpresent you with money opportunities – seek newclients and/or a pay raise, buy/sell items, and chasea sensual person. December features more talk thanaction at workplace.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness will ride a year-high wave, until lateDecember. Recent hold-backs dissolve. (Still, startnothing new – especially at work – before Tuesdaynight.) Early week brings health, work concerns.Chase relationships, make your claim, seizeopportunities, advance toward a fresh new horizon –all Wednesday. You might start something which willhave a big ending. Be diplomatic, as the lucky “otherperson” might be argumentative, cheeky. Take carewith investments, health, secrets and sexual urgesFriday – these matters succeed Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Retreat during theweeks ahead. Rest, study, plan, rejuvenate yourhealth, dress and eat sensibly. Be charitable, spiritual.Approach civil servants, institutions and corporatehead offices – they favour you to late December. Yourmanagement and executive skills will be obvious.Sunday/Monday are romantic, but don’t start a newrelationship. A major development might occurin home or real estate Sunday to Tuesday: rejectcruelty. Tackle chores midweek – new or difficultones Wednesday, routine ones Thursday. Excitingrelationships irk you Friday, please you Saturday.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Recent delays endMonday – but start nothing before Tuesday night. Berestful Sunday through Tuesday daytime: be at home,sleep, eat well, do domestic chores – in general,prepare yourself for imminent action. Which arrivesWednesday, as major romance, friendship, a creativesurge or an adventurous or speculative streak propelsyou to reward. Tackle chores safely (and drive safely)Friday/Saturday. Save your harder chores for Saturday– don’t even start them Friday. The weeks aheadfeature social delights, optimism, wish fulfillment,light romance – avoid belligerent people.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Recent delays endMonday, Pisces, but don’t start anything new beforeTuesday night. The weeks ahead feature ambition,career, prestige relations – make a mark in the world!Now to late December, money wishes will come true.Youmight dealwith anassertive friend (if you’re female,with a testosterone-laden male). Sunday/Mondaybring errands, casual friends and communications.You can lay an excellent “floor” under your projectsWednesday, or make great strides in home, garden,with kids. What’s started this day will grow. Passion’sfrustrated Friday, rewarded Saturday.
