An emotional John Hen-derson and members of Sechelt District Council gave thanks and said their for-mal goodbyes at their final full meeting Nov. 19, as the

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

mayor and the retiring and defeated councillors make way for the new council early next month.

Without apology and with a shot at his critics, Hender-

son defended the council’s record, which he said had been achieved under consid-erable duress.

“We were elected with a mandate to be innovative and

build a better Sechelt, and we have had the courage to do it in the face of concerted op-position from people who tended not to bother with the facts and go with emotions,” said Henderson, who was de-feated by Bruce Milne in the Nov. 15 municipal election.

“Every one of us people on council, we’ve put up with a whole lot of that crap from people who don’t have cour-age, don’t take the time and don’t have the respect to focus on the facts and to ac-knowledge that, just maybe, we’ve been working hard to deliver the best decisions.”

Henderson said he in-vited an honest appraisal of his administration, but cau-tioned that “nothing happens quickly.”

“To one degree or another, it’s going to take time to fully evaluate what we’ve done,” Henderson said. “I ask all of you to plan on evaluating us 365 days from today.”

The outgoing mayor choked up when it came to thanking district staff, and again when he described how hard it had been firing some employees over the last three years.

“You people don’t under-

stand how tough it is to ter-minate somebody. We made every one of those decisions with great care and great concern.”

In making their final state-ments, most councillors were conciliatory, despite often heated differences of opinion over the past three years.

“Obviously, we haven’t al-ways agreed, but I bear no animosity whatsoever to any member of this council,” said Mike Shanks, who was re-elected.

Re-elected councillors Al-ice Lutes and Darnelda Sieg-ers also thanked the staff, as did outgoing Councillors Tom Lamb and Chris Moore, who said he’d been highly chal-lenged over his term, but left with no regrets.

“Over this last three years, I can say I’ve enjoyed pretty much all of it,” Moore said.

Addressing other council-lors, he admitted there were some he liked and some he didn’t, “but I still respect the service that all of us brought to the table.”

Retiring one-term Coun-cillor Doug Hockley did not attend the meeting, but was present via a speaker-phone connection. Hockley spoke in

support of his allies on coun-cil and took a swipe at “the three-year oppositions” of councillors Shanks and Lutes.

Hockley said he’d seen a video of the Milne elec-tion victory celebration at the Sechelt Arts Centre Nov. 15, and said he wanted to express, “his disgust at the obnoxious performances of Lutes and Shanks,” who spoke at the gathering.

Hockley did not specify what he found offensive, but angrily accused the two councillors of being nice in public but when, “in amongst their own, they showed their true colours.”

Hockley also directed his anger at district residents who didn’t vote for Hender-son.

“As far as the majority of the people of the city of Sech-elt, not a chance. I wouldn’t run again for anything in the world,” he said to applause and hoots of “bye-bye” from some in the overflow audi-ence.

The new mayor and coun-cil will be sworn in on Dec. 3. Rik Jespersen

The November 15 elec-tions included the selection of trustees to the Islands Trust from a dozen gulf is-lands – including Gambier.

On Gambier, Kate-Louise Stamford was re-elected by acclamation and Dan Rogers was elected by acclamation.

Voters in each of the twelve Local Trust Areas elect two local trustees to serve on a Local Trust Committee and to represent it on the Islands Trust Council.

The Islands Trust Coun-cil has a provincial mandate to preserve and protect the Islands Trust Area and its unique amenities and envi-ronment for residents and all British Columbians. To carry out this mandate, it makes decisions about over-all policy, staff resources and budget.

The controversy over the fate of Sechelt’s Lot L and the potential for a marijuana farm on the property has been passed on to the new District Council, following a sometimes raucous and emotional council meeting Nov. 19.

The current council had been dealing with a complex subdividing, rezoning and land-swap proposal involv-ing Lot L, which lies between Dusty Rd. and Allen Rd. near the eastern shore of Porpoise Bay. The proposal would also see a portion of the lot sold to a company planning to build an enclosed medical marijua-na farm on the property.

In a five-to-two vote during what turned out to be the last full meeting of the current council, Mayor John Hen-derson and Councillor Doug Hockley voted against the

Sechelt councillors 'reluctantly' defer Lot L controversy to next councilmotion to defer the Lot L is-sue to the next council, which will be sworn in Dec. 3.

Councillors Tom Lamb and Chris Moore, despite express-ing support for the rezoning, said they would, with reluc-tance, vote to defer. Lamb was defeated in the election, while one-term Councillor Moore did not run again.

“The misinformation and the innuendo that has floated around this community the last 45 days has been a sad case,” Moore said of the con-troversial rezoning proposal.

He said the potential for dozens of jobs at the mari-juana farm could be lost due to the deferral, as could the chance for the District to use the proceeds from the land sale to buy property in the Chapman Creek watershed.

“This is such a brilliant land swap,” Moore said. “Any-

body who has spent a few minutes on the [Chapman Creek property] would see the opportunity.”

Moore was also reacting to published reports that re-vealed his and Lamb’s links to the legal cannabis indus-try. Moore, a proponent of licensed grow-ops on the Coast, has not denied reports he is a director of a Califor-nia-based medical marijuana company (not connected to the Lot L deal), while Lamb owns a property in Wilson Creek where medical mari-juana is grown, although he said he has no financial inter-est in the company.

“Councillor Lamb and I are the new drug lords of the Sunshine Coast, apparently--according to certain individ-uals and newspapers,” Moore said with frustration.

Moore said he looked for-

ward to seeing how the mem-bers of next council deal with the Lot L issue, adding that it “breaks his heart” to vote to defer the decisions to them.

Councillor Darnelda Sieg-ers, who presented a recap and analysis of the Lot L file since 2009, also believed the rezoning was a good deal, but put forward the motion to defer the proposal.

“The public has lost trust in this council, which was evidenced at the polls last weekend (Nov. 15),” said Siegers, who also referred to presentations made at a Nov. 17 public hearing about the rezoning.

“What was reiterated over and over again by those pre-senting was the request to defer the decision of subdi-viding Lot L,” said Siegers, who was among three coun-cillors re-elected in the Nov. 15 municipal vote.

Henderson said he was voting against deferral, as the benefits of the rezoning and sale proposal were “spec-tacular.”

He said that in exchange for three acres of an industri-al park, the District would be getting 12 pastoral acres that would help protect access to the Chapman Creek cor-ridor. He suggested the deal

had been hijacked by possi-bly baseless concerns about cannabis.

“Medical marijuana is a red herring in this. It may hap-pen, it may not,” said Hender-son.

The mayor, along with Hockley, Moore and Siegers, noted with regret that the offer on the Chapman Creek land purchase would expire due to the deferral.

Councillor Mike Shanks suggested that council ask the vendor of the Chapman Creek property if the time-limit on the offer could be extended. Rik Jespersen

Dog licences for 2015 are now available for purchase at the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), at 1975 Field Road, Sechelt, Gibsons and Area Community Centre at 700 Park Road, Gibsons, and the Sechelt Aquatic Centre at 5500 Shorncliffe Avenue, Sechelt.

The SCRD encourages responsible pet ownership

SCRD 2015 Dog licences now availablethrough licensing, public education and enforcement. Licenses for spayed or neu-tered dogs are only $15 while a license for an unaltered dog is $35.

Seniors purchasing a dog licence receive 50% discount. Licences purchased after Jan-uary 31 double in price.

A dog licence helps protect pets by providing an easy-to-

identify dog tag and registra-tion with the SCRD. Licensing a dog is one of the easiest ways for the SCRD to re-unite a lost dog with their owner. To make licensing more con-venient they will now be available for purchase at two new locations. This will give owners the ability to pur-chase their dog’s licence on weekends and after regular working hours.

Educated citizens leav-ing Sechelt?

Like many communities in British Columbia, Sechelt has survived a difficult municipal election.

Negative ad campaigns by our provincial and federal politicians have now found their way to the municipal level. Negative campaigning had an impact on the election in Sechelt. How much was the impact, well that depends who you talk to.

On page 2 in the Novem-ber 20th issue of The Local, resident Carolyn Minchin (White) was quoted as say-ing she felt the campaign and election was a great disap-pointment to the educated citizens of Sechelt. So dis-tressed they are now consid-ering whether they should stay. Is one election outcome is a reason to leave Sechelt? And I’d be curious as to the definition of educated?

The campaigning and final result may have been differ-ent if Basia Ruta, the Auditor General for Local Govern-ment had released her per-formance audit on the state of Sechelt this past summer. Failure to make this audit public resulted in rampant speculation and rumour leading up to November 15.

It would have been nice if the electorate had accurate information to make an in-formed decision.

Richard Austin, Halfmoon Bay

“Sore loser-ism”Re: Nov. 20 “Letters”I take your selection

of these particular post-election communiques to be ‘The Local’s’ mix of posthu-mous endorsement of the in-cumbent Sechelt mayor and sore loser-ism. It is pleasing in a way to learn that the youngest by far of Coun-cil candidates received the most votes, but I assume that -- demographics being what they are well-known to be

for Sechelt -- a very high per-centage of voters were fully aware of Mr. Milne’s char-acter and abilities from his previous 2 terms as mayor and thus capable of making a reasoned comparison of his record and Mr. Henderson’s. As it happens, until reading your ‘Letters’ page I had nev-er heard of the term ‘Third Party Advertising’ or wit-nessed any manifestations of whatever it refers to; thus, I have assumed Sechelt voters are sensible folk and not the dupes imagined by Ms Davis, the Whites, and Mr. Hender-son’s business partners.

David Evans, Sechelt

Thank You Mayor Hen-dersen

Re Public Hearing Nov. 17, 2014

First we want to recognize and congratulate Mayor Hen-derson for maintaining his composure and professional chairmanship at this notably contentious hearing, particu-larly during discourse on the disposition of Lot L.

Unfortunately, presenta-tions on Lot L quickly de-generated into unfair and inaccurate berating of Mayor Henderson and Council on their notable achievements in bringing about, on time and on budget in three short years, the construction and start up operation of what may well be the best waste water treatment facility in Canada. Beyond that, a fur-ther grant is being made available, to research the removal of the chemicals including medications and hormones that we humans swallow that show up later in treated waste water ef-fluent. What could be better than achieving their removal! What could be greener!

Congratulations Mayor Henderson on your leader-ship. We look forward to the day when you receive the positive recognition that you

so deserve.It cannot happen soon

enough.Lucy and Peter Wooding, Sechelt

A ‘feel-good waste’Last week Sechelt Com-

munications Manager Connie Jordison announced that the trial pick-up of separated or-ganic kitchen waste in Davis Bay this year was a great suc-cess. This was based on the survey returns of 77 house-holds of willing participants in the program. 76 of the 77 thought the program was great.

This is like conducting a survey into the liberalization of marijuana laws and re-stricting the survey to known pot-users. (This raises the question of the relationship of marijuana-use to compost-ing, but that’s for another time.)

The remainder of the 500 households in the program who declined to fiddle with the sorting of kitchen waste into little plastic buckets were not provided the op-portunity to give their opin-ion. Nor are we told the cost per ton for the collection and delivery to Salish soils of this small amount of worthless material.

Now, based on this survey, it is recommended that this messy, time-consuming, ex-pensive, and valueless feel-good exercise be continued and perhaps expanded to the entire Town. With this manipulation of facts to suit their purpose it is apparent that the ghost of the rejected Council is still haunting the Town Hall.

R. M. Giza, Sechelt

Welcome Gibsons Council

The Gibsons and Dis-trict Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome the newly elected Gibsons town council. We look forward to continuing to work with the

town as partners in econom-ic development.

The Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce be-lieves that active civic par-ticipation and good gover-nance are prerequisites for economic development. The amazing voter turnout of 62 per cent tells us that our citi-zens are informed, engaged and active. Clearly we all care about our town. Good governance requires that the town’s decision-making pro-cess be as transparent as pos-sible and involve a dialogue with all residents. It is not enough for good governance to happen, it must be seen to be happening.

Safe and healthy commu-nities require robust and reliable civic infrastructure. Sound stewardship of all public resources, be they environmental or financial, must be at the forefront of every decision.

We thank all candidates in this election for putting their names forward for public service.

The Board of the Gibsons and Dis-trict Chamber of Commerce

Grade 6 & 7 danceThis is the third year the

Interact Club at Chatelech have put on fund raising dances. The Chatelech Inter-act Club is a junior service club for High School students sponsored by the 2 Rotary Clubs in Sechelt. This year they are hoping to raise $600 for a 4-year scholarship for a student in Ndandidi, Kenya, who otherwise would not be able to attend high school. Locally the club is raising funds for Kidsports. On De-cember 10th they will be hosting a dance for all Grade 6 and 7 students at the Sea-side Centre in Sechelt 6-8 pm. Tickets are $8 and the theme is Winter Wonderland. Interact Club, Chatelech Secondary

Negative third-party election ads taken out in local newspa-pers have been roundly criticized, especially by Sechelt’s defeat-ed mayor and members of council. The losing candidates bitter-ly argue that the ads were largely responsible for the outcome.

The year? 2011.It might be a distant memory now, but during that municipal

campaign, the group called For A Better Sechelt (FABS) placed newspaper ads that complained about elected officials not be-ing transparent and being “dysfunctional.”

Sound familiar?Incumbent mayor Darren Inkster balked in 2011 at the “un-

fair, untruthful, unsubstantiated comments” being circulated. And it was déjà vu from the mayor under attack in 2014.

FABS called for voters to clean house and not to re-elect a single member of council. The organization also held exclusive Table Talks events to which only new candidates were invited.

FABS and its supporters might argue that they didn’t back specific candidates, but the fact is they did, in all but name. And they didn’t hesitate to name politicians they didn’t like, giving them failing grades in report card-style display ads.

In 2011, Inkster and most members of council were turfed out. They pointed accusingly at the third-party ad campaign, while the winners said little about it except to support the right of an angry electorate to free expression.

When you compare the 2011 and 2014 campaigns in this light, their tone, their outcomes and participants’ reactions were all remarkably similar.

What did change in 2014 was the number of ads, the number of people or groups placing them, and their more pointed—some might say nastier—content. Some tactics might have been different from 2011, but the strategy was the same. Negative ad-vertising is negative advertising. It’s a matter of degree, and this year, it just got hotter.

In 2013, Scientific American reported that political scien-tists had studied negative political advertising for 20 years and found that there was no conclusive evidence that it is effective.

Would John Henderson have won in 2011 and Bruce Milne in 2014 anyway, without the negative ads? Is it possible that that negative advertising has virtually no impact, or that it alienates as many people as it persuades? It will forever remain a matter of opinion. All we know for sure is that losers will be sore and winners magnanimous.

Negative campaigning is now a fixture of campaigns at all levels of politics. Why? It seems that when there’s power to be won, the action gets gritty and elbows fly up in the corners. Also, in everything from news to entertainment to folk tales that go back for millennia, it’s the outrageous and the dark stories that are often more memorable.

Little wonder, then, that there is virtually no third-party ad-vertising that’s consistently positive. No independently paid-for, full-page spreads during campaigns that declare week after week, “This guy’s so great,” or “Vote for this terrific woman!”

Pity.Rik Jespersen

The arrival of Santa Claus in the Sechelt shopping dis-trict is a complicated affair.

Forget the late night de-scent down a chimney, fol-lowed by a quick – if clam-orous – departure from the roof.

The preparations for Santa begins in the Trail Bay Mall, where children can par-ticipate in “make and take” crafts, from 2pm to 4pm.

Starting at 4:45pm, there will be carolling, led by a choir, at Rockwood Lodge. Hot chocolate and coffee will be available, and participants will each be offered a battery-operated candle.

At 5:30pm, it’s the Light-ing of the Lights. The lights at Rockwood are illuminated, along with the lights all down

The town of Gibsons has an-nounced that its current coun-cil will not meet again before newly elected members are sworn in, meaning defeated councillors Dan Bouman and Lee Ann Johnson will not take their seats again in any official capacity.

The council’s Committee of the Whole was scheduled to meet Nov. 25, but that was cancelled, as was the Nov.18 council meeting, according to an announcement on the town’s website. The next of-ficial meeting will be the in-augural of the new council on Dec. 2, and not at Town Hall but at the Gibsons Public Market.

Gibsons cancels final meetings“The [Committee of the

Whole] meeting was can-celled as there were no im-mediate matters for consid-eration and any items would have to be brought forward to the new council for reconsid-eration,” Mayor Wayne Rowe told the Local Weekly.

Johnson said she found the reasoning odd.

“The official reasons for cancellation,” Johnson said Nov. 22, “is that there was nothing brought forward for the agendas. Seems a strange indication that staff is failing to bring issues to Council, at least at the end of this term of office.”

Johnson said that as far as

she was concerned, there was official business to take care of.

“As former Chair of the Af-fordable Housing Committee, our staff and Vice Chair were supposed to bring forward a request for endorsement in principle for our efforts to establish a local community housing land trust. The pre-sentation was made to Sechelt and the SCRD, as the current elected people are more fa-miliar with this work over the past two years than could rea-sonably be expected of newly elected politicians.”

Rowe also did not indi-cate that Bouman or John-son would have a role at the swearing-in, but instead would be recognized later next month.

“Invitations have been ex-tended to Councillors Bauman and Johnson to acknowledge and honour them at the mid-December council meeting when I can personally do so and to give them an opportu-nity to address the community as it is more appropriate to do so at a council meeting rather than a committee meeting.”

Gibsons council meets the first and third Tuesdays of the month.The inaugural meeting and swearing in take place Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at Gibsons Public Market, 473 Gower Point Rd. Rik Jerspersen

Education Matters

Dave Mewhort Trustee,School District 46

Not all learners fit in a mold- in fact none of them do. Today we’ve learned that “individualized learning” is the way of the future, and School Boards all over the province (and beyond) are searching for ways to sup-port this new approach.

School District 46 has known this for decades! The Sunshine Coast Alternative School (SCAS) has worked with students in learner-centered programs for many years. Today we have self-contained programs located at different sites up and down the coast. There are too many programs to describe in any detail in this brief article, but here’s a taste…

There are three social development programs at the primary/intermediate level. In the “Career Prep” program, students can focus on either Culinary Arts or Health Care. The “Gibsons Learning Lab” and “Hori-zons” encourages students, in consultation with staff, to create their own academic program within curriculum guidelines. There is also the “Bridge Program”(grades 8 and 9), and the “NDVR”

(grades 6 – 8) program for a flexible learning environ-ment under the guidance of one teacher.

We also offer “Outreach” programs in both Gibsons and Sechelt to re-connect with students in transition, or who are out of school. “Phoenix” is a self-contained program with heightened staff support. We offer our “Spider”, “Spiderling”, and “Project Spider” programs which are teacher-support-ed distance-learning (inter-net) programs for students of all ages. So you see, SCAS really does do “whatever it takes”.

The Principal of SCAS is Carolyn Spence. She is a tire-less supporter of her school and emphasized to me that her school “… is an excellent alternative for students to earn their Dogwood. There’s flexibility in scheduling and pace.” She described her school “… as a regular BC high school that follows BC curriculum and is constantly evolving to meet student needs… and more!”

Principal Spence summed up SCAS by saying “Staff to-tally believe in relationships first, and will do anything to ensure student success… Whatever It Takes!”

Why refinish?Whether you’ve had hard-wood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

Nov. 18-22On November 19, a witness

reported a vehicle north-bound on Highway 101 near Field Road, Sechelt, after it passed another vehicle over a double solid line. Police locat-ed the suspect vehicle a short distance away and spoke with the driver who admitted to the driving infraction and apologized, claiming frustra-

tion with other drivers going well below the posted speed limit. The driver was issued a Violation Ticket for passing on a double solid.

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

the young male and his dog were freed.

During the evening of No-vember 22, a serious assault occurred in the parking lot of the Sunnycrest Mall in Gib-sons. After one male noticed another male following him in his car, he pulled into the parking lot, and was hit re-peatedly by the other male. Cst Harrison Mohr said that “The two males are known to each other, and appear to have an ongoing dispute, however we are asking that anyone who witnessed the attack call Sunshine Coast RCMP, and quote file #14-8175.”

Several studies now show that dogs learn faster and that training is more effec-tive when dogs are taught with rewards than with aversive training methods (sometimes referred to as “dominance “ training). Aver-sive methods use punish-ment of some sort to attempt to change behaviour. Types of punishment dogs are of-ten subjected to are hitting and kicking, shouting, alpha rolls, stare downs, use of punishing equipment such as choke, prong, electric, cit-ronella and pinch collars and use of electric containment fences. Studies show that

these methods increase the likelihood of aggressive and anxious behavior in dogs. Unfortunately these meth-ods are made popular by some TV shows and by the continuing popularity of the now disproven “dominance” theory in dogs.

A one-year study was done by Meghan Herron and her colleagues from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylva-nia and the results reported in the journal Applied Ani-mal Behavior Science. The study was based on detailed surveys with owners of dogs. Herron et al found that us-ing punishing techniques when training dogs tends to increase the aggression in the animals substantially. Re-sults showed that 43 percent of the dogs responded ag-gressively in response to be-ing hit or kicked, 41 percent

increased their aggression in response to a human growl-ing at the dog, 38 percent re-sponded aggressively to be-ing forced to give up an item, 31 percent to an “alpha roll”, 30 percent responded ag-gressively to a stare down by a human, 29 responded with aggression to being forced into a “dominance down”, 26 percent responded with ag-gression to being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, and 20 percent responded aggres-sively to being sprayed with water and so on.

Herron stated: “This study highlights the risk of domi-nance-based training, which has been made popular by TV, books and punishment-based training advocates. These techniques are fear-eliciting and may lead to owner-directed aggression. Aversive techniques can

elicit an aggressive response in dogs because they can in-crease the fear and arousal in the dog, especially in those that are already defensive.”

She further states: “Studies on canine aggression in the last decade have shown that canine aggression and other behavior problems are not a result of dominant behavior or the lack of the owner’s ‘alpha’ status, but rather a result of fear (self-defense) or underlying anxiety prob-lems.”

This can lead to medical is-sues too: some studies show that bloat (a life-threatening condition that can occur in dogs) is twelve times more likely to occur in nervous or anxious dogs.

A group led by Simon Prins,

co-author of Canine Behavior Basics: A Manual for Proven Success in Operational Ser-vice Dog Training, is training police and military dogs in the Netherlands by reward-ing desired behaviors and re-moving rewards for unwant-ed behavior, and by teaching the dogs in small steps that build on one another. They have been training this way since 1996 and report that they have cut their training time down to one-eighth of the time it originally took (using old punitive methods). As an added bonus, they have found that dogs trained this way handle new situations confidently as they are not afraid to try things.

The Sun Haven Waldorf School cordially invites the Sunshine Coast community to join us at the 12th Annual Children’s Winter Faire!

The faire will be held on

Saturday December 6th from 11am to 3pm at Sun Haven Waldorf School, Beach Ave. and Margaret Rd., Roberts Creek. We invite you to join us for a day of celebration,

wonder, festivity and fun for the whole family!

The Waldorf community has been hard at work cre-ating a magical experience for everyone who attends no matter what the age.

There will be choral sing-ing, a puppet play, a winter market featuring beautiful handwork from our talented Sun Haven families, a hot lunch and a yuletide café and bake sale.

The popular “magic cookie house” is back, where chil-dren enter a darkened and decorated room with permis-sion to pick one of the hang-ing cookies.

You can go inside the en-chanting crystal cave and dip

your very own beeswax can-dle to take home with you.

And you can personalize a hand-made gnome by creat-ing a garden home for it on a cedar round.

This is an amazing oppor-tunity for the Sunshine Coast Community to create lovely crafts from nature to take home, shop for handmade gifts, taste homemade baked goods and soups, and partici-pate in activities that engage the imagination in this family friendly, affordable commu-nity event.

There will also be a display of Sun Haven Students’ Work and information about the Waldorf curriculum.Submitted

The Geminid meteor shower peaks December 14, 2014, with the peak at about 5 AM Pacific time. The Gemi-nids are one of the finest me-teor showers, rivalling the Perseid shower in August. The Geminids originate near the bright stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini (the Twins). Typi-cally 50 to 100 meteors per hour should be visible at the peak. The moon will be in its last quarter on this date and

rises about 3 PM on the 13th, so it should not interfere with viewing too much: Geminid meteors are often bright, so they should still be clearly visible. Geminid meteors are often as good in the evening as in the hours between mid-night and dawn.

On December 11/12 at midnight Jupiter will be with-in 6 degrees of the waning moon and very close to the star Regulus in the constel-lation Leo. Mars is another evening planet in December. Between 22 – 24 December Venus will be near the new

moon at dusk. On Christmas Eve Mars will pass within 5 degrees of the new moon at dusk in Capricorn. Saturn will be low in the dawn sky within 2 degrees of the new moon on December 19.

The Sunshine Coast Chap-ter of the Royal Astronomi-cal Society meets at 7:30 PM on the 2nd Friday of every month at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre, Medusa St. Sech-elt. On December 12 our as-tronomers will be displaying their telescope equipment and accessories and will be available to answer ques-

tions about their astronomi-cal equipment. If you’ve been thinking of buying a tele-scope as a gift for someone or even yourself, this is a great opportunity to get informa-tion you need to make an in-formed decision.

We also hold an “Astro Café” at Pier 17 in Davis Bay at 8 PM on the 3rd Friday of every month. In Decem-ber Astro Café will be on the 19th. Bring your telescope, binoculars, or just yourself.

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Tip of the Week:The final countdown has

begun. Whether you refer to the end of the year as leading to Winter Solstice, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve or other-wise, it is fast approaching. Sagittarius is the 9th Sign and includes the 12th month and both signify ending and completion. Astrologically, the big news is Saturn in its final days of its journey through Scorpio that remains in the forefront. Despite a so-journ back into Scorpio from mid-June to mid-September, Saturn will enter Sagittarius on December 23rd.

Saturn is significant and when it changes signs ev-eryone experiences and feels it somehow. Whether it comes as outer synchronistic events or inner compulsions, it spells change. For some it is simply the next chapter, which is significant in itself. Yet for others, especially those in their late 20’s or 50’s it marks the Saturn Return.

It is certainly interest-ing that this 29.5 year cycle parallels the 29.5 year Pro-gressed Moon Cycle. It is especially interesting that Saturn is symbolic of father

and the Moon of mother, but sometimes the roles are re-versed. In any case, these two cycles constitute a main focus of unfolding themes which can be measured to produce a whole series of episodes and chapters in a person’s life. It is not a question of be-lief or faith, it is measurable and demonstrable.

As one year ends and a new cycle fast approaches and thoughts of next year begin to play on your mind, it could prove very helpful and worthwhile to know more about the cycles of your life to understand and tune-in to the rhythms and probabili-ties they imply.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)A push is on, though late in

the year, to learn to increase to clear. Replacing the old with the new can have many fronts. It could be possessions or it could be old perceptions, attitudes, attachments, proj-ects, even relationships. It is all in keeping with the cycles of life. The main question is what is the quality of your ac-tion, assertive or aggressive? Aim for graceful.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)Some seeds indicate more

sober objectives than oth-ers, like now. These are not simply the delight of flowers to bloom. Rather, you want a crop that will bring returns. Yet, while the metaphor may transcend agricultural in-

terests, leaning on other in-vestments, it could literally be plants. Whatever you do, focus to increase your core of creativity and confidence.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)A series of endings and

cYour scope and reach of relationships is expanding, perhaps even beyond your expectations or control. Al-most as if suddenly, there is more to do that there is you to go around. Will you just let it bounce and roll as you smooth into one visit and event after another or will you be more calculating and intentional? Both ways can work and especially well if you are in the spirit.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)The time has come to make

a few adjustments and im-provements in your usual ap-proach. This is a time of cre-ative expansion which could mean investments. It certain-ly emphasizes opportunities. The time is right to be alert and to capitalize on deals, steals and giveaways. Long-term thinking and planning remains ideal so act today for a better tomorrow.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Fortune, opportunity and

luck if you like to call it that are flowing your way now. Be open to receive graciously. A new day is dawning and this includes new connections, contacts and communica-tions. A key to your success

now is to have fun. Avoid an excessively serious approach. Yet you can focus to capital-ize as well so weave business with adventure.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)A series of shifts and

changes close to home con-tinue to roll-in. These are leaving clear writings on the wall. Read, heed and direct your plans and attentions to embrace and accept their message. Flexibility is a key to your success now. Positive-ly, these shifts will land you in new territory to cooperate to accept the flow yet with terms that serve you as well.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)You are on the eve of a dy-

namic learning curve. The lessons will be tailored to your needs and circumstanc-es. Yet, they are calling you out to engage more fully with others somehow. Clubs, par-ties, social engagements and cultural associations of many kinds are possible. Making room for these close to home, is where some of the real work is required.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)There are times when it is

good and we feel moved to take stock of all that we have, like now. There may well be several categories as well. Do a full inventory with a variety of headings. Clear the old to make way for the new and clarify your intentions for the coming year. With a clear sense of what you want and need and don’t you will have it all.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Last week’s New Moon

in your sign is revealing its promise by now. Pay atten-tion to the shifts and changes coming in. They are sending you strong messages. The time is fast approaching for some significant moves and changes. These will unfold over the course of 2015 and will take the better part of the year to unfold. Aim to engage with fortitude and faith.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)This is a time of stepping

back. Work done behind the scenes will prove more sat-isfying. It does include pay-ing attention to the details. Better yet, time away, an es-cape for usual routines could prove extras satisfying and

healing. While some medi-tation will satisfy, this cycle asks that you be open to va-riety to stimulate your brain synapses to activate new cir-cuitry.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A whole new vision is dawning in your skies. It speaks of expansion and adventure. Yet you must be willing and flexible. Direct your attention to your habit-ual comfort zone and focus to loosen its grip. Aim to shake it up and do something new. Sometimes what we seek is very close but we have to look with new eyes and this is one of those times.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Shifts and changes in your public and professional are shaking your world. These could well bring opportuni-ties, if your attitude dial is set right. Focus to act on these quickly and deliberately. First impressions do matter and especially now. Yet do not wait for invitations and approval. Your leadership is shining signaling you to initi-ate new leads.

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

Let’s focus on the effects of weed (marijuana or cannabis) because it’s one of the most com-mon illicit drugs found in drivers after a deadly crash. You might

It's not safe to toke and drivethink: “Smoking weed helps me concentrate. Plus, I drive slower. Doesn’t that make me a better driver?” The truth is any safety benefit you might get from driving slower is more than outweighed by the additional risk of slower re-action times, foggier thinking, and altered time perception you expe-rience when high on weed.

“I just had a little to drink and a couple puffs. I feel fine to drive.”

The reality is alcohol has a “multiplicative” effect on other drugs. That means having a drink if you’ve also had some weed re-sults in far greater impairments than taking either alone. So even if you haven’t consumed enough liquor to blow over at a Checkstop, if you’ve got weed in the system, your driving will be as bad as someone who has had far more to drink. Submitted
