FRIDAYDecember 3, 2010

The recent artillery attack on South Korea hitclose to home for the local Korean community.

Last week, two soldiers and two civilians werekilled when North Korea attacked the South Koreanisland of Yeonpyeong. Nearly 20 more people wereinjured and dozens of homes were destroyed. Theevent marked the first attack on a civilian area sincethe Korean War.

About 80,000 Korean-Canadians live in theVancouver area, with the majority settled inCoquitlam.

Senator Yonah Martin, who ran as theConservative candidate for New Westminster-Coquitlam in the 2008 provincial election, said shereacted to the incident with great worry.

“My parents are survivors of the Korean War. Myfather was born in the northern part of Korea beforethe war. So it touches me on so many levels … Ihave some fear not just for the people in Korea, butfor the region and even Canada and what this couldmean if something were to advance to a more dan-gerous level,” Martin said.

“So for me, it’s a combination of all those thingsand a real concern for the people that are goingto be the victims in this. North Korea is impover-ished and there’s a real need for humanitarian aid.There was a considerable amount of aid going fromSouth Korea to North Korea, so that will be affectedimmediately in the interim. So the people, onceagain, will suffer.”

Martin is not alone in her concern.Coquitlam resident Sonny Son thinks the actions

of North Korea call for a strong response.“Personally, I’m really angered at the animal act

of the North Korean military people. That is a reallycoward act, animal act. That is only bullying,” saidSon, president of the Korean Veterans’ Association.“[The] Korean government, they should punishthem right away.”

Son was born in North Korea. During the KoreanWar his family escaped to the south, where he grewup. He came to Canada in 1973.

He said Coquitlam’s Korean population is upsetabout the current situation.

“This is enough,” he said. “They are concerned.They are very angry.”

Angela MacKenzie, board director of the C3Korean Canadian Society, said the local communityis following the events in Korea closely.

“We all hope the situation will be resolved peace-fully,” the former NOW reporter said in an e-mail.

Ronald Diaz would preferthat some governingbody had his back, but

that won’t take anything awayfrom his motives heading intotonight.

The Port Moody-based pugil-ist is one of two athletes withties to the Tri-Cities competingin tonight’s mixed martial arts(MMA) event at the BoulevardCasino, the third such event totake place in Coquitlam.

Billed as “Seeing Red— MMA Live In The Cage,”tonight’s 13 fights are beingpromoted by West CoastPromotions and sanctioned bya group called MMABC. As withevery other amateur MMA eventin Coquitlam, that sanctioningbody — which lays out rules interms of fighter safety — isn’trecognized by the province orthe feds, meaning that no onestandardized set of rules appliesto how these types of events areconducted.

“I think there should defin-itely be some sort of governingbody for this. It will make itmore accepted and it will makeit more popular, as opposedto people saying, ‘Oh my God, it’s such a horriblesport,’ said Diaz, a 30-year-old Port Moody residentwho is pitted against Maple Ridge native OliverVajada on tonight’s card.

Coquitlam council does have a committee — theCoquitlam Athletic Commission — to govern therules and guidelines around professional fights.Those rules set out specifications for everythingfrom insurance and liability policies to the necessaryamount of medical personnel required for a prizefight. In the case of amateur fights, however, the cityhas no say over who fights, where they fight or themedical precautions that need to be taken.

“I think the biggest problem here is that it makesit so all the biggest fighters, or the guys who aremore professional, have to leave Vancouver justbecause they can’t compete locally. There’s nothingfor them do here. It does frustrate me,” said Diaz,whose brother Ryan has made a career out of MMAin the U.S.

Vancouver’s David De Jesus trains daily alongsideDiaz at Port Moody’s DCS Gym, and the Brazilian-born martial artist said he too is frustrated by thelack of a Canada-wide MMA governing body.

“It does frustrate me, because there’s a lot of guyswho have potential, but the government doesn’twant to support them,” he said through a thickPortuguese accent.

“I haven’t been seriously injured because I amtrained for that. Sometimes bad things happen, butbad things happen everywhere.”

MMABC is listed as the sanctioning body fortonight’s fight, and the group is headed up by for-mer Ultimate Fighting Championship luminary BillMahood. The registered non-profit group does havea lengthy list of medical requirements for its fights,and categorizes fighters based on experience. Allfighters taking part in MMABC events must provideblood tests for HIV and hepatitis, and they are notpermitted to fight if they have been knocked outduring the month prior to a fight.

West Coast Promotions cofounder Manny Sobralsaid he too is unimpressed with the lack of move-ment from senior levels of government when itcomes to sanctioning the sport.

“It does somewhat frustrate me because they don’twant to touch it, yet it’s happening everywhere. Andin a lot of places, it’s going unsanctioned and that’swhere the accidents are going to happen. It almostmakes me feel or think that’s what they want to hap-pen so they can say, ‘We told you that the sport isunsafe.’”

Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson, who chairsthe city’s athletic commission, said he will notattend Friday’s fight because he doesn’t want toappear as “lending legitimacy” to an event that is notsanctioned by an official body.

“It’s an amateur event and it’s not something thatwe can sanction,” he said, “but there’s nothing thatwe can do about it.”

Tonight’s fight kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at theBoulevard Casino.

A Tri-Cities resident,MacKenzie was born in Seoulbut moved to Canada as ababy. Her mother, the young-est of seven children, camefrom the north.

“She was around threeyears old when the war brokeout. Like many women, mygrandmother was left to takecare of her children on herown and managed to get allof them across to the southbefore the border betweenthe two countries closed,”MacKenzie wrote.

“As a consequence, mymother grew up in Incheon,which is where the hundredsof people from YeonpyeongIsland were evacuated to afterthe North Korean bombard-ment. When news broke of theattack, my mother said shewas immediately reminded ofthe war.”

Although her mom rarelyspeaks of her experiences,MacKenzie said her auntshave shared their stories overthe years.

“For that generation, evenfor those who have immi-grated here to Canada andstarted new lives, the war stillconjures up vivid memoriesand ones that are often pain-ful and heartbreaking. Somany were separated fromtheir parents, siblings or otherfamily members because ofthe war, and some still hopeto be reunited some day,”

she wrote. “The last round offamily reunions between fam-ilies from South Korea andrelatives from the north tookplace in early November, andpossible future reunions arenow at min-imum injeopardy, if nolonger pos-sible, with thisrecent escala-tion of tensionbetween thetwo coun-tries.”

HoweverDoo Ho Shin,co-founder ofthe CanadaKorea Foundation, doesn’t seethe current situation escalat-ing to another war.

“It’s an unfortunateinstance. To me, [NorthKorea] tried to have moreattention from the inter-national community, particu-larly the U.S. They are, to me,using South Korea as a kindof hostage … To me, they’retrying to show that they areunited and there is the newleadership,” said Shin, who isalso president of the NationalUnification Advisory Council.

“I don’t think their futureintention is declaring anotherwar, but they just want tohave some attention from theinternational community,which they’re getting. Fora while, there will be someincreased tension for sure, butthat’s what they use in the

tactic. That’s the situation.”Tong Op Kim, deputy con-

sul general for the Republicof Korea in Vancouver, saidTri-Cities residents can con-tact him if they are concerned

about theirloved onesin Korea,regardlessof whetherthey are ofCanadian orKorean des-cent.

“Ourgovernmentjust wishesthat all theKorean cit-

izens abroad don’t have to beworried too much,” Kim said.“Our defence is still strongand we will be strong againstadditional provocation.”

Meanwhile, Martin keepsthe Tri-Cities Korean com-munity close to her heart,although she now spendsmuch of her time in Ottawa.

“Every single one of them,I can assure you, has familyin the south and a great manywill have family that they maynot even know. I don’t knowmy family in the north. I’venever seen them, met them.I don’t even know if they’realive … I know people will beworried just like I am,” Martinsaid.

“Whether people have fam-ily in the north or the south,that tension is never the issue.The issue is always the regime

and what it’s doing. So I thinkeverybody, whether theirfamily’s from the north orsouth, condemns the regimeand they condemn any acts ofaggression and brutality andsenselessness.”

Canada has also been aclear voice condemningthe artillery attack, Martinsaid. As well, she added, theCanadian embassy is lookingout for Canadians in Korea.

“The Canadians in Seoulare saying that the Canadianembassy has an emergencyevacuation list and Canadiansare being contacted quiteregularly about the situa-tion and being monitored.They feel quite looked afterand connected to Canada. Ithought that was a really goodsign.”

The land has been rezoned,but what happens next?

That’s the question TheNOW put to several key play-ers days after Coquitlamcouncil’s vote to rezone landat 3030 Gordon Ave. for ahomeless shelter.

For Mayor Richard Stewart,Step 1 entails reaching out toarea residents and workingtowards alleviating any out-standing concerns they mayhave.

“I want to be able to sitdown with those neighboursand work out specific issuesand specific solutions,”Stewart said. “I want theirneighbourhood to be better,and I believe we can maketheir neighbourhood betterthan it is today — both in thecoming weeks and after theshelter is built.”

Given that the land hasbeen rezoned, what the citynow needs is money — boththe capital and operating costsfor the shelter fall under thejurisdiction of the provincialgovernment body known asBC Housing.

“[Coquitlam’s] shelter andtransition housing remains atop priority for the province,and capital funding will beconsidered in the 2011/2012budget process,” a rep fromBC Housing told The NOWThursday on condition of ano-nymity.

An operational agreementalso needs to be drafted up,one that covers off on whichservices will be provided andsecurity measures, amongother things. Project develop-ment funding is also neededto allow the city and BCHousing to begin the requestfor proposals process for anon-profit shelter operator.

“That operating agreementbetter come in with all thethings I want in it — theybetter bring the services,” saidCoun. Mae Reid, chair of thecity’s land use committee.

“What it comes down toright now is that whoever isgoing to operate that shelter, Iwant to see 24-hour security, Iwant to see all those facilities

and programs we have askedfor, and I want to see zero tol-erance on drugs and alcohol.This operating agreement isgoing to be the telling factorfor me.”

Coquitlam-Burke MountainMLA Doug Horne attendedMonday’s public hearing andsaid Wednesday he will lobbypeople in government aheadof next spring’s budget delib-erations to ensure provincialmoney is forthcoming.

“I’m pushing hard to get usto the next phase so we canget things happening there. Ithink it’s important that wehave the supports in the com-munity for these people,” hesaid. “I’m hoping that at somepoint next year we’ll be in aposition to announce that.But it all depends on wherewe’re at from a budget stand-point.”

But even if provincial fund-ing is announced after thespring budget, a significantgap will exist between the end

of the cold wet weather matprogram and the shelter’scompletion.

Both Horne and Tri-CitiesHomelessness Task Groupchair Sandy Burpee are push-ing for a “container village”concept to bridge that gap,a proposal that represents apartnership between the HopeFor Freedom Society, ShadowLines Transportation Groupand Boyd Autobody and Glass.

“The length of the gap Idon’t know, but it will cer-tainly be several years, I wouldthink,” Burpee said. “In theinterim, the container villageproposal that is currentlyon the table right now, thatwould be the gap-filler andthe interim step.”

Proposed as a year-roundfacility, the container vil-lage would feature modularunits that have been approvedby the Canadian StandardsAssociation, as well as a com-munal kitchen, a commonarea and a separate unit for

food service workers and shel-ter staff. It could potentiallyaccommodate up to 24 peopleper night, though councilsin both Port Moody and PortCoquitlam have suggestedthere is no room for such afacility in those municipal-ities.

“I would endorse a solutionthat is temporary that wouldprovide housing for people.Given the choice betweensleeping in a cardboard boxand sleeping in a containerthat actually provided shelterand a comfortable bed to sleepon, I think you’d choose thebed and shelter any time,”said Horne, adding that nodefinitive location has beensuggested to accommodatethe facility in Coquitlameither.

Organizers behind thecontainer shelter proposalare in the midst of an onlinecommunity capacity build-ing contest called the AvivaCommunity Fund.

The online voting contestjust entered its semi-final

stage on Thursday, with thetop vote-getter receiving$500,000 towards their project

of choice.For info on how to vote, see

Is it just me, or does it seem like the Vancouver2010 Winter Olympics were last week? It’s hardto believe they were almost nine months ago.

We are but a few weeks from closing off this dec-ade and moving forward to starting a new one. Whata decade it has been.

There have certainly been a lot of newsworthyevents over the past 10 years: 9/11; thewars in Afghanistan and Iraq; HurricaneKatrina, which almost wiped out anentire American city; the earthquake inHaiti, which did wipe out an entire city;a cataclysmic global financial collapse;terrorism threats and bombings; hostagetakings; Somali pirates hijacking ships;the oil spill off the Gulf Coast; the winterstorm of 2008 that destroyed StanleyPark; gang killings; the $800-millionbailout of the Olympic Village; and theescalation of tensions between North andSouth Korea, just to name a few.

I look forward to 2011 and the start of a new dec-ade. Hopefully, we can begin a new chapter of pros-perity and goodwill toward everyone.

This is my second year of writing Off the Cuff forThe NOW, and I want to thank the paper’s staff for

their support.Why is it that during this time of the year, we

always start thinking about those who cannotprovide for themselves? Why can’t we be givingthroughout the year?

There are many commendable organizations, suchas SHARE, that are doing a fantastic job, but there

are not enough of them and it seemslike there are many more people who arein need.

The types of individuals lookingtowards these organizations for helpwould surprise you — they are yourneighbours, friends and relatives.

I grew up in a home where I ate asmuch as I wanted, had nice clothes,lived in a nice big house, wanted fornothing and had the love and supportof two outstanding parents. So when Ibecame a police officer and encountered

abused children for the first time, I found it discon-certing, disturbing and humbling at the same time.

If you talk to any first responder they will tellyou that it is dealing with children who have beenmaltreated, abused, battered or killed that will hauntthem for the rest of their lives.

In my opinion, we are grossly underfunded andlacking in proper facilities and trained professionalsto keep our children who live deplorable conditionssafe. (Imagine what $800 million could have done.)

I want to thank all of my colleagues, the civil-ian staff, my volunteers at the Port Moody PoliceDepartment and the community of Port Moody forall of their support and encouragement during theyear.

During these holiday months, please celebratewith friends and family in a responsible manner.

Be good to yourself, your family and friends …have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Until the next new decade ...

Taking a look back at the decade that was

The holidays are just around the corner. Whilesome people are thinking about gift ideas, others areworrying about providing a meal for their family.

With the rising cost of living, a recent report byStats Canada indicating an unemployment rate of7.4 per cent in B.C. and the entry level minimumwage of $6 per hour, there are manyfamilies struggling to make ends meet.

The struggle to provide basic necessi-ties for the family could bring additionalstress during the holiday season, leav-ing individuals to face difficult choices.These tough choices can cause an emo-tional and physical burden on individualsand families.

We can, however, share the joy of the holidays andhelp lessen the stress that some families may experi-ence. We can all help ease some of the tension byparticipating in local fundraisers.

Many Canadians are turning to charitable organ-izations for assistance with basic necessities suchas baby formula, milk, fruit and vegetables. Sadly,some of these organizations may need to turn awaypeople in need. Several organizations have noticed a

decrease of about 33 per cent in food donations andan average increase of 10 per cent in demand com-pared to previous years.

Most of these organizations are run by volunteerswho are focused on making a difference in theircommunity. The organizations help support people

by providing them with resources tomake their holiday season enjoyable.

Although some people may feel theirdonations are insignificant, the organ-izations gladly accept any help that isoffered to them. This season we can allmake a difference in our community bysupporting the following organizations

through donating non-perishable food items, giftsor even a little time from our busy schedule to makea difference in somebody’s life: the SHARE Family& Community Services Society, the Salvation Army(Christmas kettle campaign) and Coquitlam Centre’scharity gift wrap and toy bank.

There was much hand wringing in highplaces this week as the whistle-blowerwebsite WikiLeaks released 250,000 diplo-

matic cables.The cables contained unguarded comments

and information circulating in the U.S. diplo-matic corps.

Such as news that Afghan President HamidKarzai’s government is considered corrupt.And that many Middle Eastern states view Iranas a destabilizing force.

Closer to home, we’ve learned CSIS is pout-ing that Canadian courts are hampering itsability to shake down suspected “terrorists” byinsisting on their civil rights.

So far the revelations haven’t exactly beenearth-shattering.

But U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton isnot amused, calling the leaks an “attack onAmerica’s foreign policy interests.”

Truth is, the cables present a refresh-ing change: world situations described withcolourful candour and stripped of their usualspin.

Despite its bad-boy reputation, WikiLeaksprovides a valuable function — a check onpower.

Its value has already drawn positive atten-tion from the international community, like anaward from Amnesty International in 2009 forshedding light on the problems of police kill-ings in Kenya.

Its check on power comes from providing uswith information we need to question deci-sions and call leaders to account. Perhaps the“interests” Clinton speaks of ought to be a bitmore transparent.

The fact is, more blood has been spilled andmore damage caused when citizens were keptin the dark about the actions of their govern-ments.

The weapons of mass destruction that didn’texist, yet were used to justify starting a war,come to mind. There’s also the small issue ofthe sub-prime mortgage meltdown and globaleconomic crisis ignored by those in a positionto see it coming.

If knowing information means preventingwar and economic collapse, we say long livethe leaks.

Homeless could behoused in cottagesRe: “Coquitlam OKs homeless

shelter,” Wednesday, Dec. 1.Riverview lands were wisely set

aside many years ago, with ourparents’ tax support, a protectivelegacy to all, to treat many of thesesame displaced, troubled folks weterm homeless today. There are noliquor stores or drug houses thereto supply addictions.

Community gardens at ColonyFarm currently supply organicproduce for food banks. Why notpermanently house homelesspeople in cottages at Riverviewto harvest those rich lands them-selves, restoring their healthand dignity in the process? A fewgreenhouses there would yieldyear-round produce for many, andwhy not? Such was its originalintent.

Several years ago, a house firedestroyed a rental property nearmy home by Fox Park, whereseveral homeless men were resid-ing with a young family and theirchildren. After the fire, whichleft that family homeless, a num-ber of these men remained inthe immediate vicinity in an oldRV, harassing single mothers byknocking uninvited on their doorslate at night while inebriated,dumpster-diving at 2 a.m., dis-rupting children’s sleep, generallycreating a disturbance and settinga bad example.

While I feel empathy for home-

less people and their plight, Iobject to the harm some of theiractions cause others. Parents withgrowing children are struggling,often with incredible self-sacrifice,to provide for their families intoday’s challenging economy anddon’t appreciate having the safetyof their children, homes and liveli-hoods threatened. People with ser-ious addictions and mental healthissues are a danger tothemselves, others andproperty. No parentwill accept that risk.

Thank God for localchurch groups andSHARE society, whoserole it has always been to serve asa refuge. Their outreach programsand food banks will continue toserve people in these difficulttimes.

Learn more aboutcommon chemicalsRe: “Cleanliness is good, but

we’re going too far,” opinion col-umn, Friday, Nov. 26.

This column contained insinu-ating statements and questionsregarding the chemicals in handsanitizer and their effects:

“First I ask you,” the columnread, “have you ever actually readthe ingredients that go into thestuff? And if you have, why wouldyou let a child use it knowing itgets absorbed into the skin? As

we all know, hand sanitizer getsrid of 99.99 per cent of bacteria;however, this includes the goodbacteria and oils that actually pro-tect the body.”

Yes, I have actually read theingredients that constitute handsanitizer. One of the particulardelights and burdens of being achemist is being able to read thoseingredient lists with a greater

understanding. But,for an untrainedreader, such lists canbe a little scary: thelong, impenetrablenames and acronyms,and the lingering

suspicion that it’s somethingthat’s probably bad for us. In thenews, we’re accustomed to hear-ing about chemicals in consumerproducts with negative effectsand campaigns to ban them. Butthose chemicals are in the minor-ity, because of regulation and theundeniable truth that chemists arehuman beings who would neverwant a child to be hurt by a chem-ical that they made.

So let me read for you theingredient list for the hand sani-tizer (OneStep) that I happen tohave on hand: ethyl alcohol (62per cent), water, isopropyl alcohol,PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, acryl-ates/C10-30 alkyly acrylate cros-spolymer, parfum, aloe baradensis,hydroxypropyl-cellulose, tetrahy-droxypropyl ethylene diamine.

Now, let’s translate this: alcohol(kills germs), water (safe!), rub-

bing alcohol (kills germs), emolli-ent (skin moisturizer), thickener(so you can rub it on your hands),fragrance, aloe extract (houseplantwith medicinal leaves), thickener(made from plant cell walls), thick-ener. Despite their arcane names,these ingredients are not adsorbedthrough the skin: the alcohol andwater evaporate almost immedi-ately, leaving a thin, invisiblefilm of the other components onyour hands. These componentsare inert, excepting the emollientwhich softens the skin, and noneis known to remove or destroythe “oils that actually protect thebody” in this process. (It shouldbe noted that there are no seb-aceous glands on the palm of thehand, hence the skin exposed tohand sanitizer naturally producesno oils.) Everyone should knowmore about the chemicals thatthey use on a day-to-day basis, andtheir demonstrated effects, bothgood and bad. And statementsregarding chemicals should bechecked with the same rigour asa politician’s quote or a leakedmemo. In our age of information,much of this is readily availableonline, whether from Wikipedia orthe U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency, among the hundreds ofother sources. There’s no place forinsinuating that the chemicals onthe ingredient list are bad.

The foundation has put a disclaimer on itshome page to caution residents.

•••If you’re on a need-to-know basis, and need

to know, then getting the info will require a bitmore work.

RCMP’s E Division headquarters hasannounced it can no longer post press releasesabout crime in the province to its website

(www.bc.rcmp.ca) until versions in bothEnglish and French are available and releasedsimultaneously. The decision was made after adispute over the federal Official Languages Act,which requires all releases to be issued in bothFrench and English.

The only exception will be in cases wherethere is an imminent threat of serious personalharm or death to identifiable victims.

While the RCMP seek out cost-effectivetranslation services, urgent releases will be dis-seminated via e-mail to news media like TheNOW.

Shave ’em, Danno.Crime has been a bit hairy this

month for a group of manly Mounties inCoquitlam, who donated the face of thelong arm of the law for a good cause.

Movember has inspired many malesthroughout the Lower Mainland to growa moustache, or “mo,” in support of pros-tate cancer research during the month ofNovember, and Coquitlam RCMP officers

couldn’t resist the call of the crumbcatcher.

After growing it alone for Movember2009, Coquitlam Const. Ryan Ziebartgot 24 of his colleagues on board for thisyear’s campaign.

The stubbly team dubbed themselves“The Mantastics,” and in 30 days, theyraised more than $8,000.

“Unfortunately, far too many of usare touched by cancer in one form oranother,” Ziebart said in a press release.“I lost my mother to cancer this year, soanything I can do to fight this disease in

any form is worthwhile.”The Mantastics thank their supporters,

even those who had a good laugh at theirexpense.

“Movember’s really great because it’salso lot of fun,” he said. “Some of theMantastic mustaches — mine included— are pretty horrendous and I think ourfriends and colleagues will be glad to seeus back to normal.”

If you’d like to see the Mantastics’Mo Space and support the cause, visithttp://ca.movember.com and search for“Mantastics.”

Charles Best Secondary students are rais-ing money to rebuild a school impactedby war in Uganda.

The Coquitlam high school partnered withKeyo Secondary School in the Amuru districtof northern Uganda.

The initiative began after a school presenta-tion from Invisible Children Inc., a non-profitorganization that aims to stop the exploitationof child soldiers in northern Uganda.

Charles Best students were interested inhelping with the cause, so they launched aSchools for Schools club to fundraise for theprogram.

In their first week, they raised more than$500 and they plan to keep going with a goalof $5,000. For more information or to make adonation, visit http://s4s.invisiblechildren.com/school/0/0017000000bDWSLAA4.

Talk with Your Teenager aboutSubstance Use and Misuse

At SHARE, we believe in supporting positive relationships between parents/caregivers and teenagers.Creating and/or taking the opportunities to have conversations with our youth are key components tosupporting them to successfully navigate the teenage years. Our role as a parent/caregiver naturally,changes as children grow. When they are young we are concerned with their safety and protection;we make the majority of decisions for them. As they grow into teenage hood we move more towardsproviding guidance to try to ensure that the choices they make are best for their future. This can bechallenging and it may be difficult to know where to start conversations about topics of concern suchas substance (alcohol and/or drug) use and/or misuse. There are many different approaches to this. Inthe November issue of SHARE inYour Community, we identified three of our “top 5 ways” to talk withour youth about substance use and misuse. The first three were:1. Create opportunities for regular communication,2. Be a good listener and acknowledge our youth’s point of view,3. Be direct and honest about our own fears regarding substance use and our concerns about our

youths well being.The final two strategies in our “top five” are4. Clarify your own beliefs and values about substance use/misuse and be clear with youth

about our expectations of them.Expectations, boundaries and rules can provide support for young people dealing with new situationsand challenges.We might consider what guidelines we want to put in place for our youth’s behaviour,discuss these expectations with them and demonstrate openness to the possibility of re-negotiation.It can be important to let youth know that mistakes happen and problems occur and have reassurancesyou will work with them to sort it out. Clear expectations can send them the message that we careenough to try to protect them.5. Educate yourself with accurate, unbiased information about alcohol and drug substances

and their use/misuse.It can be valuable for our youth to experience adults as approachable and a credible source ofinformation. If we acquire basic knowledge and show openness to seek out information, we will beable to help our youth learn skills to critically assess information. This helps keep the communicationflowing and the relationships strong.*sourced from Centre for Addictions Research of B.C.Recommended websites for more information about substances and talking with teens:

Garden

People who love plants but haven’t hadtime for them all year often begin bring-ing branches, wreaths and flowers into

their lives as Christmas approaches.Celebrating Christmas with plants can start

at the front door with a winter container ofcolourful, hardy greenery. Container plantsoutside need to be one degree hardier thanyour zone. Unfortunately, zone varies depend-ing on how near the sea you are,whether you’re on a hill and howexposed you are to chilly winds.

But it’s hard to go wrong withwinter heathers, which flowerwhite or pink for long periods,conifers with golden, blue or varie-gated foliage, wintergreen with itsbright red berries or the purplesand pinks of heuchera.

Small-leaf ivy trails nicely downa pot and is easier to control thanthe big-leaf kinds. Grasses add a delicate touchand many can look absolutely stunning even ifa vicious winter has already killed them.

When freezing makes planting impossible,bright branches can be placed at a houseentrance in a winter vase. This should be heavyenough to resist wind or stabilized inside bysomething heavy. Visitors can be greeted byevergreen boughs, contorted branches andperhaps spectacular white-painted branches.Gardeners who are craft-inclined sometimescollect and paint cut branches or prunings.

Some garden centres carry a range of coniferand other branches, including manufacturedbranches with red berries that are almostinvariably artificial. Real berries are gorgeousbut tend to drop whether inside (drying out) oroutside (eaten by birds).

Wreaths can be made with all these materi-

als. Gardeners can make their own wreathswith willow branches bent when they’re pliableand/or prunings from grapes or other vines,but most people start with a pre-formed base.

After weaving conifer branches or otherbackground items through the wreathspaces, it does help at each stage to tie themin unobtrusively. But do avoid nylon twinebecause these knots always undo themselves

— sometimes very fast.Wreaths can be done with con-

ifers alone if you can find differentcoloured foliage. But conifers aremore often used as a background.Cones can also be wired in. Thesilver pods of the biennial lunaria(money plant) are so lovely inwreaths and other Christmasdecorations they’re worth growingfor this purpose alone.

Christmas is also the timepeople buy seasonal plants for themselves or asgifts. Red poinsettias are hugely popular, butwhites, pinks, bi-coloureds, dark foliage kindsand many others are also available.

Poinsettias hate cold drafts, blasts of heatand soggy soil. They like bright, indirect lightand watering when they feel dry. African violetsand kalanchoes have similar hates and likes.

Apartment dwellers in rooms with people-friendly temperatures and no colder placesdo very well with poinsettias, African violets,kalanchoes or chrysanthemums. The mostadaptable to a range of conditions are chrysan-themums.

• Anne Marrison is happy to answer gardenquestions. Send them to her via [email protected]. It is helpful to include your munici-pality, since climate varies across the region.

Christmas is a great timeto bring plants into your life

Wine

Dessert wines should not be neglected aspart of your holiday festivities.

There are many styles and sweetnesslevels to these types of wines. Dessert winescan be enjoyed by themselves or matched todesserts. When matching sweet wines withcake, pie, chocolate and ice cream,make sure the wine is slightlysweeter than the sweetness levelin your dish, otherwise the flavourprofile of the wine will disappearand fade into the background.

A fun recipe idea for the holidayincludes using the wine in yourdessert. Peel and cut, into bite-sized pieces, any of your favouritefruits such as pineapple, mango,orange and melon. Drizzle a fewounces of dessert wine into thebowl, mix, cover and leave in the fridge over-night. When ready to serve, scoop mixture intoparfait glasses, top with whipped cream andserve with a small glass of the same dessertwine.

A large majority of dessert wines are avail-able in half bottles, 375-ml size, and are usual-

ly served in small, three- to four-ounce glasses.They vary in alcohol level from nine per centto about 16 per cent. Don’t serve them toocold, or the great flavours will be frozen out.Cool is best, at about 10 C, or leave them atroom temperature for about 45 minutes after

removing them from the fridge.With these guidelines in mind,

let’s take a look at some deliciousholiday dessert wine selections.

In the past few years, some out-standing fruit wineries have beenestablished in B.C., particularlyin the Similkameen Valley nearCawston, where two of the best areForbidden Fruit and Rustic Roots.I have been very impressed by thequality of their dessert wines.

Crushed Innocence fromForbidden Fruit is a dessert wine producedby organic white peach grown at the winery’sfarm. It tastes of peach, honeysuckle and notesof orange, and the flavours of ripe fruit justburst from the glass.

Dessert wines add sweetnessto holiday get-togethers

Accident victims who are physically hurt becauseof another’s fault are typically entitled to compensa-tion. But historically, courts have been reluctant toaward damages for pure psychological injury. Now,however, Canadian courts are awarding compensa-tion for what the law calls “nervous shock.”

The BC Supreme Court recently awarded $11,000to a man who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) after witnessing a gruesome accident on thePatullo Bridge.

Nicholas A. was driving from his home in Surrey toNorth Vancouver, where he worked as a yardmasterfor C.N. Rail. On the Patullo Bridge, he saw a speed-ing vehicle behind him swerve into the opposite laneand hit a minivan head-on. He called 911 and spentalmost two hours at the scene helping the victims.He moved back and forth between the injured driv-ers, speaking to them, trying to comfort them, andindicating that help was coming.

The driver of the minivan was hanging out thedriver’s window and the minivan passenger was lyingoutside. Nicholas could also see flames that were putout by the fire department. When he finally went tothe ambulance, he found that he had blood on hisarms and he could smell the perfume worn by one ofthe victims. Both drivers eventually died, as did oneof the passengers in the minivan.

Almost a year after the accident, Nicholas suffereda panic attack at work. He was later diagnosed withPTSD as a result of the nervous shock he suffered atthe accident scene, resulting in anxiety while driving,flashbacks to the accident and sleep difficulties for12 to 18 months. The BC Supreme Court concludedthat the estate of the driver at fault was liable forNicholas’ nervous shock.

In an earlier Ontario case, Dolores B. also recov-ered damages for nervous shock after witnessingan accident. She and her husband were driving ona rural road when a motorcyclist ran into the side oftheir car, bounced off the windshield and landed onthe road. She then tried to warn another approaching

driver of the injured motorcyclist on the road, buthe didn’t see her waving her arms and ran over themotorcyclist. Dolores received $7,500 for her “post-traumatic stress reaction” (which included sleepless-ness, a driving phobia, and constantly reliving thescene of the accident).

Not all mental distress is compensable when a claimis made for nervous shock. More than “mere emo-tional upset” is needed. Damages are only intendedfor a recognizable psychiatric illness caused by thedefendant’s carelessness, not just grief or sorrow.

In considering whether a bystander who witness-es an accident should get compensation, the courtmust ask – Is it reasonably foreseeable that a personof ordinary fortitude or emotional sensibility wouldsuffer psychiatric harm as a result of the defendant’snegligence?

The plaintiff and defendant must also share a suf-ficiently close relationship so that the defendantowes the plaintiff a duty to take care. This typicallyrequires the plaintiff to have been geographicallyclose to the accident (i.e., present at the scene) oremotionally close to the injured victims (i.e., a familymember) or to have developed the psychiatric illnesssoon after the accident.

The law in the area of recovery for nervous shockis evolving – and may even extend in future to coverhearing terrible news. Seek legal advice if you are in-jured, physically or emotionally, as a result of a carcrash.

Wine

Rustic Roots has crafted a Santa Rosa dessert wine madefrom Santa Rosa plums. I was pleasantly surprised by the inter-play of the tart plum and the sweetness of the wine. The noseand flavours of extracted plum, strawberry and citrus round outthis wine.

Elephant Island wines from the Naramata Bench arerenowned for their fabulous fruit wines, and the Cassis 2009dessert fruit wine is no exception, with loads of rich currantflavours followed by clove and licorice notes. It is fortified to 16-

per-cent alcohol. I drink this one sans dessert as it tastes like adessert unto itself.

California, the land of tropical fruit and sunshine, makessome delicious sweet wines. A standout for me is Elysium BlackMuscat 2005 from Quady Winery. This exotic, rich and sweetwine is packed with a lychee and rose bouquet. A few drops canbe used in a flute of sparkling wine to add complexity and fla-

vour to ring in the new year. Add a little fun and adventure andsurprise your guests this holiday season by adding a few sweetselections to your festivities.

Road testing the Tucson

All new last year, the Hyundai Tucson isfresh evidence of how far the Hyundai MotorCompany has come in a relatively short timeperiod. No longer a lower-priced second choiceor a used car alternative, Tucson is anotherexample of a Hyundai that also competes head-to-head in the performance, quality and designarenas.

There are no compromises here. The tech-nology is first rate and its design, handling and

ride reflect its European connection. Tucsonwas conceived and engineered at Hyundai’snew design centre in Frankfurt and has evolvedinto a slick and very modern cross-utilityvehicle.

Tucson is a nice size, economical and aversatile multi-task vehicle that can handlethe daily urban grind, big boxes from Ikea orweekend escapes with the family. Stylish yetpractical, it has space for four, maybe five,occupants and plenty of cargo room.

Lighter (28 kg) than its predecessor,

The Tucson documents Hyundai’s progression in the vehicle company market.

Tucson’s clean and efficient2.4 litre (176 hp) four-cylin-der engine and new six-speedautomatic transmission deliv-ers excellent fuel economy.The front-drive version usesjust 6.3 litres/100 km on thehighway and if fitted with all-wheel-drive, it consumes anextra 0.8 L/100 km.

Even a base GL editioncomes with air conditioning,a Bluetooth hands-free phoneconnection and power win-dows, locks and mirrors. Theside mirrors are also heatedand it has keyless entry plus asecurity system. Audio inputjacks are provided, the steer-ing wheel has audio controlsand four-wheel disc brakes arestandard.

The GLS ($26,799) trimadditions include 17-inchalloy wheels, fog lights anda tilt and telescopic steer-ing wheel. Moving up to thelimited ($32,449) trim addsleather seating, dual-zone airconditioning, 18-inch alloywheels, a panoramic sunroof,all-wheel-drive and more.

Our test Tucson was a top-line limited with navigation($34,449). In addition to the6.5-inch touch screen naviga-tion system it also includes

and upgraded audio systemand a rear-view camera sys-tem.

For the 2011 model year,Hyundai offers a new lower-priced base L trim versionof Tucson with a two-litreengine and a five-speed manu-al transmission ($20,999), oroptional six-speed automatic.It eliminates the 2010 GL 2.4litre engine with a six-speedmanual. Other than that thelineup and pricing are essen-tially unchanged.

The LooksTucson is a complex styling

exercise with lots of interest-

ing body lines and creases,yet it all pulls together verynicely. Short body overhangs,pushed-out wheels and a highbelt line give it a well-planted,on-the-road and secureappearance.

A roof line that swoopsdown at the rear adds to itssporty appearance and thespoiler above the rear windowis standard on all versions.While Tucson is longer andwider than rivals such as theHonda CR-V, Ford Escape andSubaru Forester, it tends tolook even bigger than it is inreality.

Roomy interior well-suited for taller drivers and passengers

The InsideNothing too fancy or clut-

tered, the dash is simple yethas everything you need witheasy to understand and usecontrols. The instrumentpanel is a two-pod design withcentrally positioned enginetemperature, fuel gauge andtrip info electronic readouts.

The cabin is roomy andsuited to taller drivers witha high seating position thatlooks down at the instrumentpanel. Despite the panoramicsunroof and its sloped-to-the-back roofline, the rear pas-sengers, surprisingly, are alsoprovided with good head andleg room.

The panoramic sunroofcomes with the limited pack-age and has an attractive fullglass roof appearance on theoutside. From the inside,only the front part opens andthe rear section is fixed (buthas a sliding shade). On thedownside, you lose roof railsand any notion of attaching aroof rack.

One minor annoyance wasthe sloped navigation screen.The lack of hood to shade thescreen made it occasionallydifficult to read in the glare ofthe sun.

SafetyElectronic stability control

is standard on all trim levelsof the Tucson and so are act-ive front seat head restraints.The front and rear side-cur-tain air bags have the addedoccupant protection of vehicleroll-over activation.

The DriveFrom the elevated driving

position, outward vision wasgenerally good and the bigside mirrors were great. Thesloped rear window seemssmaller through the rear-viewmirror so the back-up camerawas definitely an asset.

Tucson is not going tobreak any land speed accelera-tion records, but it’s certainlycompetitive in its class. Itsengine is smooth and quiet innormal driving but it lets youknow that it’s working hard,if you floor the gas pedal. Onthe plus side, it’s an ultra-clean running engine thatplays a major role in makingthe Tucson qualify as a PartialZero Emissions Vehicle.

The new six-speed auto-matic transmission is excel-lent and it gives Tucson apositive advantage over othervehicles in its class. It offersmanual shifting capability andin auto mode the shifts aresmooth and precise. Best ofall, at highway speeds its extraoverdrive gears keep enginespeeds low and provide betterfuel efficiency.

Tucson’s electric powersteering is one of the bettermotor driven systems I’vetried. It’s precise and nicely

calibrated to give firmer steer-ing feel at highway speeds.Good ride qualities and low

noise levels also make theTucson a very pleasant high-way cruiser.

The ScoreGreat to look at, great on

gas and good to the environ-ment, the new HyundaiTucson brings a value package

that can’t be ignored to thecompact cross-utility seg-ment.

There have been few high pointsover the past month for the CoquitlamExpress.

Rallying from two goals down to tiethe game could count as one such rayof sunshine.

Unfortunately, Coquitlam closedout the first half of the 2010-11 B.C.Hockey League season with a 4-3overtime loss to the Surrey Eagles onWednesday, despite the late heroics.

That pretty much sums up the first30 games in a nutshell for the rebuild-ing Express franchise.

Jared Eng’s goal with 51 secondsleft in the third period, convert-ing a rebound from a shot by RileyMcIntosh, earned Coquitlam a singlepoint. Dale Hunt gave Surrey the win

when he beat Khaleed Devji with 16seconds left in the extra session.

“We came out to our typical slowstart and that’s become an area ofconcern for the coaching staff,” saidhead coach Jon Calvano. “We needto find that jump and quick start weexhibited early in the season.”

Trailing 1-0 after 20 minutes and 2-0 after 40, the visiting Express pushedthe Eagles in the third period.

Garrick Perry made it 2-1 with apowerplay marker early in the third,but Surrey restored the two-goaladvantage two minutes later.

With 10 minutes to play, wingerMassimo Lamacchia cut the deficit toa goal, with an assist from Eng.

That set up the late rally, which

occurred before Devji could be pulledfor an extra attacker.

“It all started at the faceoff, whichwe won,” said Calvano. “Eng jumpedto the front of the net, we had thepuck along the wall... We got a shotoff and Jared was in the right spot toput it in the open cage.”

That the game ended in a lossproved to be a tad disconcerting, espe-cially with Devji turning in a relativelystrong effort with 39 saves. Coquitlamgenerated a handful of good scoringchances, with Michael Krgovich andDestry Straight coming close.

Although they’ve fallen in thestandings since their terrific 8-4-0-1start, the Express have treaded waterdespite winning just twice in the past

10 games. Three overtime losses —still waiting for their first OT win ofthe season —and one tie have helpedthem stay ahead of Cowichan Valley inthe battle for the final playoff spot.

After the game, Coquitlam releaseddefencemen Wade Bennett and ColeManning and forward Steve Axford. Itleaves the team with 21 players andfour cards with which to play with.

“We have enough cards, so if aplayer comes available that can helpus, we can bring them home.”

If things don’t improve, it could beExpress players coming available whodo the moving.

Coquitlam continues on the roadin Port Alberni, Nanaimo and PowellRiver this weekend.

Slotted second in the firstcoaches’ poll of the preseason, theRiverside Rapids senior girls basket-ball team is eager to prove that rank-ing over the next few months.

Last year’s fourth-best team inB.C., the squad started the exhibi-tion slate Tuesday by edging theSqualicum Storm of Bellingham49-47, and before hitting the W.J.Mouat tournament this weekend.

That they are seeded so high canbe seen as a compliment to thetalent that has returned, and theprogram’s coach and overseer, PaulLangford.

Entering his 10th season on theRapids bench, Langford knows thatthe opportunity to surprise his oppo-nents is long gone.

“I told the girls that the first rank-ings don’t matter, it’s just opinionsfrom people who haven’t seen any-body play yet,” said Langford. “It’snice but it isn’t necessarily reflectiveof what’s going to happen.”

Going on past history, however,the poll of AAA coaches has historyon its side.

The PoCo program has qualifiedfor the B.C.s five times in the lastnine years, including the last four— where they finished fourth, sec-ond, second and fourth overall.

It’s tough to argue with that kindof track record, especially as it coversa couple of rebuilding cycles.

This year’s roster is certainlynot of the reloading kind, with sixreturning players. The anomaly thisseason is that Riverside has only oneGrade 12 on the roster — HillaryYoung, a transfer student fromCentennial — and 10 Gr. 11s.

“We looked at last year as sort ofa rebuilding year, with six Gr. 10s,”noted Langford. “They had good suc-cess making the adjustment, and wesnuck up on a lot of people. I don’tknow if we’ll be sneaking up on any-one this year.”

The lineup doesn’t feature a lotof size, with under-17 B.C. playerMegan Sherwood the tallest at five-foot-11. Other Team B.C. members

To become North American champions, it takes dedication, perseverance, concentration, strength, will power, skill, en-durance, and the ability to overcome obstacles. The Under 15 Metro-Ford boys’ Super ‘Y’ League team proved beyonda shadow of a doubt that they possessed all the above-mentioned qualities as they made history by becoming the firstCoquitlam team to win the USL North American championship this past week. After winning the Northwest Conference,the Metro-Ford team was drawn in the group stage against North Virginia Royals, Ironbound SC from New Jersey, andWellington Wave from Florida. The Metro-Ford boys won their group—and thus qualified for the semi-finals—by beat-ing North Virginia by a 3-0 score, tying Ironbound SC 1-1, and defeating Wellington 3-1. In the semi-finals, Metro-Fordfaced the highly-regarded TSF Academy from New Jersey and soundly beat them by a decisive 3-0 margin. In the final,our boys met the hosting Tampa Bay squad and eventually won the title on penalty kicks after the game had ended in a1-1 tie. As a result, the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Under 15 boys were declared North American Champions.CONGRATULATIONS TO THE UNER 15 BOYS FOR THEIR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE!!!!

Three years ago, theCoquitlam Wildcats dominat-ed the peewee minor footballcircuit, ending upwith a provincialtitle.

This weekend,the squad couldreclaim that title.

The Wildcatsadvanced to theB.C. championship by blank-ing the South Delta Rams 20-0 in the Vancouver MainlandFootball League final lastweek, led by a tremendousdefensive unit.

It appeared the teams wereplaying with a hot potatoin the early going, as bothsquads turned over the ball,then fell victim to somestrong defensive work. With

just 33 seconds left in the firstquarter, Coquitlam’s NicolasGreene put the ball into the

end zone to givethem a 6-0 lead.

Hungry toexpand theirlead, the Wildcatspounced whenthe Rams werehanded a couple

of unnecessary roughnesspenalties. Keon Taffe scam-pered in from two yards tomake it 13-0 at the half.

Although the Rams hadbeen VMFL finalists a yearago, it was Coquitlam, whowere a perfect 10-0 in leagueplay this year, who proved tobe a littler steadier on theirfeet. It showed down thestretch when the pressure

began to mount.In the second half, South

Delta applied plenty of pres-sure, but were unable to crackCoquitlam’s hold-the-linedefence. Setting the toneall game were Nico DePaoli,Xavion Fleary, MahhamedHassan and Tyrese Reed.

Capping the offence with alate touchdown was Greene.

The Wildcats now faceChilliwack, Sunday (11 a.m.)at Langley’s McLeod Park.

In junior bantam action,the Coquitlam Raiders hit theroad in their semifinal andcame away victorious, beatingVictoria 48-16.

The undefeated Raidersnow face Kelowna in the B.C.championship final, 1 p.m. atMcLeod Park.

Langford is adamant that thelineup doesn’t have a startingfive, but a variety of players andcombos that can contribute inany given situation.

“Our strategy is to maintainour own pace and play anupbeat game,” he noted. “Wewant our kids to play a certainstyle, and the one thing we’relooking for is consistency fromthis young group.”

A standout rookie winger with theFraser Valley Phantom of the B.C.AAA Female Midget Hockey League,Chadwick was one of 40 players selectedfor the big game, which goes today, 6:45p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre.

Chadwick, 15, is in her first year offemale hockey, after playing the pastnine seasons alongside the boys. A yearago she was a member of the PoCo repA bantam squad.

“I’m really excited to be picked,” saidChadwick. “The highlight of the yearso far is how great my team is. ThePhantom are a great group of peopleand I really like playing with them.”

The October female midget player ofthe month, Chadwick enters the all-stargame with nine goals and nine assistsin 13 games — good for third overall inleague scoring.

A multisport athlete who last yearwas named Riverside’s Grade 9 girlsathlete of the year for her volleyball andbasketball expoits, Chadwick has playedhockey since the age of five.

In lacrosse, she has made the provin-cial peewee zone team as well as TeamB.C.’s midget squad.

Another big hole and another good rally.For the second time in a row, the rally was a

little too late for a happy ending for the Terry Foxsenior boys basketball team.

Facing the No. 1-ranked Burnaby SouthRebels, Fox nearly erased a 24-point gap overthe final two quarters before falling 97-89 in anexhibition test on Tuesday.

“We were just tragic in the first half,” said Foxcoach Rich Chambers. “But in the second halfwe played with a lot of spirit and intensity. It wasjust too little, too late.”

Although digging a hole early has been thetrend to start, Chambers anticipates his playerswill convert these lessons as the schedule getsbusy in the coming weeks.

“We probably gave them 25 points on turn-overs, and most of them were straight layups forthem,” said Chambers.

Scott Hind finished with 28 points for Fox,

including five treys. Bret Macdonald chipped in24 points, while Ryan Sclater added 14.

Fox QB nets offensive MVP prizeTerry Fox senior Ravens’ Cam Canales was

named the AAA B.C. Offensive MVP this week.The Grade 12 quarterback has piloted his team

into this weekend’s B.C. championship finalagainst Vancouver College.

Canales completed 28 of 42 pass attempts overfive league games, for 593 yards. Nine of thosecompletions were for touchdowns, while heserved up just one interception. He also carriedthe ball 44 times for 436 yards, including sevenmajors.

Named to the offensive all-star team were Foxrunning back Jacob Patko and lineman BubbaBordignon. On defence, linemen Jacob Nylundand Jared Soll joined defensive back Ben Sharpe,and Centennial DB Bobby Pospischil.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Dec. 5 - Dec. 11★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Mellow times,understanding, a bigger world view, love – thesefloat toward you all week, especially Sunday/Monday.So do cultural involvements, social rituals, highereducation, far travel, legal affairs, media, insuranceand intellectual endeavours. Friday begins threeweeks of backward motion in these areas, and incareer, so finish things up now – don’t begin anythingnew before Dec. 30. Paradoxically, just as your dailylife slows down, your hopes and plans for the futurebegin to clear and form. Tackle ambitions, dutiesTuesday/Wednesday. Happiness, delight, friendsThursday/Friday!Taurus April 20-May 20: You’re wading into life’smysteries, into financial, sexual and health depths.This could be a rather rocky or surprising ride, Taurus,so go slow, don’t expect much, and be wary ofcommitment. Events and plans begin to meet delays,indecision and backward directions Friday throughDec. 29. Use this week to finish up “hanging” tasks,to gather loose threads – start nothing new beforeDec. 30. A former opportunity might return: judge iton its merits: if good, go ahead. Now to early January,others treat you very affectionately. Show ambition(without commitment) Thursday/Friday.Gemini May 21-June 20: Work goes well allDecember; co-workers show affection. You’reapproachingan investment,big life change,or intimatecommitment, but it’s delayed because you need to“revise” a relationship. (The other party might forcerevision.) Good – otherwise you’d build on a false,flimsy or misaligned base. Applies to both moneyand love. All these – big changes, sexual bonding,investments, etc. – will flow in more naturally andhealthily in January. Use this week to finish up tasks,projects – a period of delay, mistakes and indecisionoccurs Friday to Dec. 29. Start nothing new.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start NO new projects,tasks, nor relationships before Dec. 30. Guard againstmistakes, be prepared for delays. Use this week tofinish ongoing ventures, then keep an eye, the rest ofDecember, on people or opportunities returning fromthe past. Relationships intensify into January – andromance plays a song! A hectic work phase endsTuesday – life grows easier. A powerful, lucky career,business phase will begin in late January: rest now,so you’ll be energetic then. Though little things stall,big things march ahead.Mysteries intrigue Thursday/Friday. Love wins, Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing new before Dec.30. Stick with ongoing projects and relationships, orthose returning from the past. (An old flame mightbe coming, but won’t appear until late December.)All month, your home life glows with affection andpeace. It’s a great time to finish decoration projectsbegun in the past. Be alert on the job and aroundequipment: mistakes, confusion are quite possible.DON’T buy tools, machines, TVs, etc. Romance,pleasure, beauty and a general creative, speculativeand winning streak fill the weeks ahead. Excitingmeetings Thursday-Saturday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A period of delay,indecision, mistakes and missed meetings beginsFriday, and lasts through Dec. 29. During thisphase, don’t start significant new projects of anykind. An old flame might return – but only briefly,as the weeks ahead tend toward endings ratherthan beginnings. It’s more likely that you’ll chasean ongoing love. In either case, romance brings talk,intimacy and intensity! Communications and travelwill be gratifying and affectionate. This week, finishtasks. Sunday/Monday set the tone for the month:home, security, family, property. Tackle choresThursday/Friday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new beforeDec. 30. Mistakes, confusion and delays affectnew projects until then. Focus on past and ongoinglinks, ventures. Your money picture is favourableall December – but don’t buy anything significant,includingclothes.Youmightbecalledback toasecurityor family issue. Christmas will likely involve travel toold haunts – and nostalgia. Make arrangements, buytickets now, as unavailability begins soon. If you meetan “ex” this month, it will likely only confirm “theend.” You’ll be busy but happy. Romance, a winningstreak come Thursday/Friday!Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Finish rather thaninitiate relationships, projects, tasks and obligationsthis week – and the next three. A period of delays,mistakes and indecision starts Friday, lasting toDec. 30. You’re favoured in money now, especiallySunday/Monday, but avoid big new purchases allmonth. You’re vibrant, your charms glow, you’ll havea month of “good hair days.” You’ll be very busywith communications, details, paperwork and travel– but keep an eye on more private or hidden factors,feelings that are just below the surface: these mightconflict with the messages you send. RomanceSaturday?Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your energy,charisma and optimism are boundless now! Butdon’t start anything new and important before Dec.30. Especially avoid important purchases. Do all yourChristmas shopping as early as possible: this Mondayto Wednesday is best. Despite your high charismaand personal “clout” this month, your private world,your inner self, glow with a peaceful happiness.The government benefits you. Your monetary hopescentre on someone older or younger, through 2012– an important project is brewing; be patient. Arrive“in person” Monday. Home sweet home Saturday.

Capricorn Dec.22-Jan.19:Rest,lie low,contemplateyour plans – and the meaning of life, love, spirit. Yourenergy and judgment falter, but your determinationand sexual charisma are high all month. Don’t letthis combination lead you into error. Start nothingimportant before Dec. 30 – mistakes, indecision,second thoughts and delays are rife. Instead, protectand nurture ongoing projects and relationships, andreprise those from the past. Your social side returns– someone affectionate “watches out” for you.Acceptprivate invitations. Your money luck rises brieflyThursday/Friday. Call, travel Saturday.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18:On the one hand,wishescome true now, social delights arrive, flirtations andlight love hover around you, your popularity rises,and entertainment’s everywhere. On the otherhand, this is a poor time, through Dec. 29, to startany new projects or relationships. So protect yourwork life from delays, mistakes and misunderstoodcommunications all month, double-check and havea “Plan B.” But once you do this, charge into leisure!Avoid gossip, loose lips and dangerous places. Allthese apply all month. Sunday/Monday are happy.Rest midweek. You shine Thursday/Friday!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Finish rather than startprojects this week. A period of confusion, indecision,mistakes and delays begins Friday, lasting throughDec. 29. It will particularly affect your social, careerand “future plans” areas. In these, a former person oropportunity might return – if so, luck favours takingit/him/her up again. Love relationships that are keptlight can be hot, sensual, but lack the sweetnessrequired for durability. Letting a relationship becomeprofound will supply that sweet affection. Beambitious Sunday/Monday. Rest Thursday/Friday. Youburst with energy Saturday!
