Group hopes to aid strategic votingFederal election: Local poll information may help voters make decisions at the ballot box.

A non-partisan group of local citizens is moving ahead with a poll to assist voters who may wish to vote strategically.

Speaking on the group’s behalf, Warren bell said they are in the process of raising $1,250 to have Oraclepoll research conduct the poll in the north Okanagan-Shus-wap riding. The end result will be made available to assist voters with how they might vote.

“The poll is to facilitate strate-gic voting on the part of individ-

ual citizens who are trying to de-cide which of the parties they will vote for if the party they would choose to vote for isn’t in a po-sition to be elected…,” said bell, who expects the polling to take place sometime this week.

“We’re going to publish the results for everybody to see, and give them to the candidates too so they can have them.”

bell said the intention behind the poll is not to tell people how to vote. However, he said the cur-rent conservative government, and the actions of Prime Minister

Stephen Harper, are driving the poll.

“I think if Prime Minister Harper had not been so inclined to move in direc-tions that are quite different from the directions that… the previous conserva-tive governments, the previous liberal governments and, of course, the ndP, if he hadn’t gone beyond where any of them have gone before, I

think we wouldn’t be bothering to do this,” said bell, noting he is part of another lo-cal group, renewing democracy Through co-operation, whose members are keen to see the existing first-past-the-post elector-al system replaced by a more progressive proportional system. bell says an alternate

system would make strategic vot-ing unnecessary.

“What happens when you get a proportional system is really quite compelling,” said bell. “You get a greater turnout, you get more diversity, you get less contrast between one regime and the next, you don’t get a sort of swing from one side to the other, you get more parties involved, you get more ne-gotiation involved, you get more co-operation involved.”

poll and notion of electoral reform. Conservative candidate Mel Ar-

nold said he couldn’t believe people would abandon their political loy-alty and vision to vote against some-thing.

“We have a party system in Cana-da because people believe in certain party policies and there are defi-nitely differences between the major parties in this election,” said Arnold. “So why they would abandon their policies to end up with something they really don’t want either is sur-prising to me.”

Regarding electoral reform, Ar-nold said the Conservatives are not considering proportional voting, that it would “lead to MPs being ap-pointed in ridings where they actu-ally weren’t elected by the greater portion of the vote.”

“Would they truly represent the riding’s interest at that point if that was the case?” said Arnold.

The federal Liberals, Greens and NDP have each committed to bring-ing an end to first-past-the-post, with the Green Party of Canada and the NDP committed to a pro-portional voting system (the Greens would also lower the legal voting age to 16). The Liberals, however, have stated they would undertake a national engagement process that would consider electoral reform measures, including ranked ballots, mandatory and online voting and

proportional representation. Back to the local poll, Green can-

didate Chris George has spoken against strategic voting, arguing people need to focus on the issues and vote with their heart.

“It may well be people think they are doing the right thing, but I think we need to roll back a generation, I guess, back to when… people actu-ally voted what was in their hearts and kind of let the chips fall where they may,” said George.

NDP candidate Jacqui Gingras said she supports the grassroots group and its efforts, but adds polls are not typically good predictors of outcomes.

“We want absolutely to differenti-ate between polls and past results, which reflect evidence,” said Gin-gras. “Past voting results reflect evi-dence... The evidence, based on past results, clearly demonstrates that the NDP is best positioned to restore de-mocracy to Canada.”

Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz, however, says basing the present election on past results is unreliable. She says recent polls show her party is competing neck-and-neck versus the Conservatives.

“People want to see something as far away from Stephen Harper’s government as they can find. Going back to 2011 or 2008 is not at all helpful or predictive,” said Derkaz.

As for voting strategically, Derkaz said people have to make up their own mind on who will do the best job for them as MP.

A for-sale sign has appeared on the North Canoe Hall, but poten-tial purchasers won’t be buying it for the building.

John Lund, a direc-tor of the North Canoe Community Associa-tion, says the hall is so far into disrepair that it will have to be demol-ished and the associa-tion is selling the hall as land only.

Lund says assess-ments on the building indicated it would take upwards of $250,000 to upgrade the building to code.

“And that just cov-ers what they could see,” he told the Ob-server. “The whole front of the building is completely rotten, the building is leaning 12 inches to one side. There’s dry rot – in the men’s washroom you could literally fall through the floor, there’s so much rot un-derneath.”

The situation with the hall was compli-cated by the status of the association, which had lapsed as a non-profit society, leaving the asset of the hall in

a kind of legal owner-ship limbo. But, Lund says, this situation has now been rectified.

BC Registry Servic-es confirmed the soci-ety is currently in good standing.

“I’ve spent $3,000 to get our status redone, so we can go do some-thing with it,” says Lund, who adds the as-sociation plans to sell the land, distribute the revenue to local chari-ties and then formally dissolve the associa-tion.

He says any fixtures inside the building, like appliances or kitchen equipment, will be dis-tributed to needy fami-lies.

“No one’s making any money off this.”

The list price for the property is $80,000.

Lund says attempts were made to sell the hall for $1 to a number

of different commu-nity groups including the cadets and another Canoe-based group, but the high cost of upgrading the hall, in addition to the utili-ties costs and liability, made it unworkable.

“Even at the price of $1, no one could afford to do it,” he says.

Lund says he also offered to give the hall to the City of Salmon

Arm, but says council voted against it, due to the costs and liability associated with it.

The Observer at-tempted to confirm this with city hall, but May-or Nancy Cooper and Chief Administrative Officer Carl Bannister refused to comment. Property transactions involving the city are mandated to be in-camera (not public).

Appeals from parents to keep their Grade 6 and 7 students enrolled at Silver Creek Elemen-tary have been rejected by the school board.

When Silver Creek Elementary narrowly escaped closure last May, school trustees told parents to help ex-pand the school’s stu-dent population in order to keep the rural school viable in the future.

The school’s popula-tion did increase by at least 18 students as of Sept. 15, and it appears a few more students have attempted to regis-ter since that time. This left the school district in a conundrum.

Silver Creek school now exceeded capacity for its current two full-time teachers, but was deemed by board staff to be too small to justify adding another teacher. The solution from the school district was to require the transfer of the six Grade 6 and 7

students to Shuswap Middle School.

Some parents felt betrayed that after be-ing encouraged to help increase the student population, they ended up seeing their children forced to take hour-long bus rides away from their neighbour-hood school. Three of the parents appealed the school district’s decision to the board of trustees, but parents were informed in a let-ter Thursday the ap-peal was rejected by the board and the students will not be permitted to attend Silver Creek.

“If we had put an-other teacher in, the pupil-to-teacher ratio would have been very low compared to other places in the district. We’ve got to be equi-table to all the students across the district,” says Bobbi Johnson, school board chair.

Silver Creek parents were especially con-cerned because their school receives special funding of $157,000

to help supplement the cost of small schools.

“This baffles me,” says Kristie Clark, whose son is one of the Grade 6 students being shifted. “Obviously the government feels that rural schools need more financial support, but our district has decided to use those funds to support urban schools.”

Johnson says funds received from the min-istry of education are pooled into a general fund to support all the schools in the district.

“Budgets are not allo-cated to schools strictly based on amounts gen-erated by the individual school. This has never

been a practice in our district,” she wrote in a letter to parents.

Johnson says while the transfer of students to accommodate enrol-ment is difficult, it is not uncommon.

“The district has to move kids all the time if enrolment exceeds capacity. This is not a unique case.”

Parents says the move will have a det-rimental effect on their kids, not only due to an extended bus ride, but also because the students are used to a smaller school.

Ann and Robert Craik, who are raising their granddaughter in Silver Creek, says she used to be a confident student leader. Now, she has become appre-hensive, timid and re-luctant to speak in class.

“I sat at the meeting (in May) where prom-ises were made. Where we were told to grow the school. Now I’m devastated those prom-ises were broken,” says Ann.

A mix of local and national issues were tackled by the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding’s electoral hope-fuls during an all-candi-dates forum held in Si-camous Monday night.

Organized by the Si-camous chamber, the forum offered Eagle Valley residents an op-portunity to hear the candidates – Conserva-tive Mel Arnold, Liber-al Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and the NDP’s Jacqui Gingras – respond to pre-writ-ten questions in a non-debate format. That, however, didn’t stop the contenders from taking shots at their competi-tors’ parties.

The gauntlet was dropped with opening remarks and Arnold’s touting of the Trans-Pa-cific Partnership, which he said would create a stronger economy for Canada and more jobs.

“That trade agree-ment will open up those doors to expand mar-kets, not just for our dairy producers and our fruit producers, but for our manufactur-ers, for our innovative technology people that can actually now trade across those borders…

by expanding our mar-kets, those are what’s going to enable an area like this to grow and expand,” Arnold later explained when asked about how to improve the local economy.

On that topic, Gin-gras was critical of trade deals conducted in secret, stating the NDP would cut the small business tax by two per cent, work to protect local agriculture and establish a national childcare program. Derkaz touted the need for investment in in-frastructure, noting the Liberals will run a defi-cit to do this, and put the money in the hands of local governments. She also supported af-fordable housing and creating more oppor-tunities for agriculture. George said the Greens too would support in-frastructure spending, committing one per cent of GST to it and, like the Liberals, assur-ing the money would go to local government. He also championed youth employment with the Greens establishing a Community and Envi-ronment Service Corps.

Asked for their vision of the CBC, George, Derkaz and Gingras each championed res-toration of funding

to the national broad-caster, and establishing a management board that’s at arm’s length from government. Ar-nold, however, said the CBC needs to be more self-sustaining and “accountable to their viewers and their ad-vertisers.”

The last question of the evening had the candidates discussing the Tories’ anti-terror legislation, Bill C-51. Gingras said the bill infringes on Canadian’s rights and freedoms and that it needs to be repealed.

“We already have the laws necessary to pro-tect us,” said Gingras. “It’s an illusion, a false choice, that we need to take away our rights and freedoms in order to protect us.”

Arnold said the bill would enable law en-forcement agencies to share information, not-ing judicial approval would still be required to conduct surveillance.

“The fear-mongering that’s going on over Bill C-51 is simply not true,” said Arnold.

George said he read the act, and “by the time I got to the crimi-nal code amendments that are going to allow five-day’s detention without charge, secret trials never to be made public, with anony-mous witnesses, I knew this wasn’t Canada.”

Derkaz said the bill goes way too far, and that a Liberal govern-ment would amend it so as to balance national security with civil liber-ties.

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

A new poll from Insights West shows the vast majority of B.C. residents are opposed to trophy hunting. While a government shouldn’t legislate based on polling, a survey isn’t needed to justify the elimination of such a barbaric practice.

The Insights West poll showed 91 per cent of British Columbians oppose hunting animals for sport.

But B.C. Premier Christy Clark is sticking to her guns. Clark responded to questions on the poll by saying she didn’t enter politics to be popular. She said just because something is unpopular doesn’t make it wrong.

One has to wonder if the premier has seen the video which recently surfaced showing a grizzly bear being shot repeatedly as it scrambled down a

hillside in a vain attempt to survive something that can only be described as torture.

In attempts to defend the practice, the premier pointed to the healthy grizzly bear population and her desire to create jobs for people all around the province. There’s healthy dog and cat populations in B.C. also, but we don’t allow people to arbi-trarily kill them. And the revenue eco-tourism brings to the province far surpasses anything raised by trophy hunts.

It’s only a matter of time before trophy hunting becomes illegal here in B.C. The only question that remains is whether the provincial government will try and get ahead of the issue or be forced to give up their defence of the indefensible.

- Black Press

Time to make trophy hunts extinct

We’re better than fear, hateIn a conversation with a friend the other day about life in other

solar systems, he referred to an astrophysicist from Iran who was asked why, if such life exists, it doesn’t contact people on Earth. The astrophysicist answered, if you were a peaceful being, would you want to contact such a warlike planet?

The truth of it remains a mystery. But the warlike description is difficult to dispute, whether dis-

cerned from afar or within. A fabric of fear is enveloping us hu-mans, arguably more than ever before.

This includes Canadian humans. Our federal election, for instance, may be decided on fear. Is-

sues recently forced to the top of the debate agenda include gov-ernment regulation of the niqab, a veil worn in public by some Muslim women. Then there’s the suggestion that some Syrian refugees may be terrorists, so Canada should continue to curtail their immigration. Not to be forgotten is the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act, complete with an RCMP tip line.

The act, which ostensibly is to crack down on polygamy, is the perfect tool for exploiting fear. Based on its title, it is intended to pit neighbour against neighbour, citizen against citizen.

This same tactic has been used in many a war, under many a dictatorship. Barbaric is in the eye of the beholder. Like many countries, we have, and have had, a host of barbaric acts in Can-ada, if we care to take an honest look. Residential schools, for in-stance, were over-the-top barbaric. Yet adequate reparations have never been made and an aftermath of exploitation continues.

There is a theme to these election issues, and it’s all about fear-ing people who may be different. That usually means people with a different skin colour, or a different religion, or a different way of dressing or eating.

I often think of babies as a guide to what’s human. Most people love babies, and most babies, unless they’ve suffered a trauma, love other people. Babies don’t make judgments on race or in-come or religion.

All the major religions share a common basis – love. Treating others how you would like to be treated.

I think a good guide would be for people to get to know at least one friend of a different background – in the case of the current fear-mongering, one Muslim, before deciding to choose fear and hate. Because the truth is, that’s how a better town or province or country is built. Through people making connections with other people, truly getting to know each other, supporting each other. It can’t be done overnight, but it’s much more satisfying than exud-ing hate and the rhetoric of fear.

This is not a naive, Pollyanna way of thinking. It’s what we humans were made for. No one is born hating.

As the rash of college and high school shootings in the U.S. makes abundantly clear, this is not what humans want to be do-ing. We do not want the pain and anguish of hate.

At the risk of being considered flaky, a risk I’ll gladly take, I hope voters choose love, not fear and hate, in this federal election.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Martha Wickett

View PointThe Observer asked: Is lowering the voting age to 16 a good idea?

Linda McGrath “There are plenty of smart kids out there that should have the right to vote at 16.”

Terry Shannon “At this time no. Not until there is enough education about how the political system works.”

Serri Beauchamp “At 16 I don’t think they are well versed enough in the world to make an informed decision.”

Cole Leaver “It’s a good idea, more people that age should be involved in what’s going on.”

Jennifer Davis “It’s a good idea, kids at that age work and pay taxes, they should be able to vote.”

Voting is a curious and colourful game. Most of us play it by picking the party we agree with most from a wide palette of various, and often conflicting, promises.

The big problem usually comes after the election when we wonder why we bothered to play the voting game at all. For the winning party frequently appears either to have forgotten what they promised, or have not followed through on what they have promised.

In the worst-case scenario (quite common, these days), they have promised one thing but do the op-posite. In other words, they show their true colours!

Naturally enough, voters be-come disillusioned and even cyni-cal. Many of us choose not to vote at all, feeling that our vote means nothing. However, by not voting, we allow others to choose for us. We lose our chance to be in the game and to effect change.

For those of us who still genu-inely care about the outcome, there is a simple formula to follow. We must tune out the advertising, ig-nore the polls, and check the recent history of each party. Which ac-tions or achievements of any par-ticular party do you commend and endorse? Which past scandals have served to sour you on politicians, in general? Remember: Past actions predict future performance. The corollary of this formula might be “performance has little to do with promises.”

So do your homework, be true to your deepest values, and mark your ballot for the colour that best suits you. Exercise the democratic power you possess and vote.

Harper is not a Conservative, and the Conservative Party of Canada is not the party it was 10 years ago.

The party that evolved with the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progres-sive Conservative party does not represent Canadian democratic, social and environ-mental values.

The newly minted party adopted a con-stitution that paved the way for Harper to transfer the nation’s legislative powers into the Prime Minister’s Office.

The Conservative Party is harbouring a leader and prime minister who regularly and openly demonstrates he has nothing

but contempt for the people who elected him, and the institutions he has sworn to protect.

Using party discipline, Harper has crushed the democratic process in our fed-eral House of Commons.

He has effectively destroyed credibility in the Senate, and has over the last eight years managed to turn the Prime Minister’s Office into a political control center.

Harper does not play by the rules and, having attained absolute power, he has abused that power to the maximum:

• Proroguing Parliament and bundling legislation is now common practice.

• Gutting Canada’s health-care budget, while creating a ministry to spend 20 mil-lion dollars on religion.

• Signing dozens of trade agreements, while foreign investors are challenging our sovereignty, seeking billions of dollars in damages for ‘infractions’.

For Harper, this election is nothing less than a desperate and personal obsession to protect his ‘made in Canada’ dictator style of government.

On October 19th, we have to make sure that does not happen.

I wonder why politicians are so interest-ed in promoting the middle class and the rich. But nothing has been said about the poor, the disadvantaged or the homeless. I have listened carefully to those promoting the status quo and the trickle-down theory. Wonderful ideas unless you happen to be at the bottom of the pile.

Do we really need the class system in Canada? Or India, or any place in our glob-al village? Then why do we continue to practice it? Have you ever wondered how we got this way?

Looking back to 1764, the Treaty of Niagara, a treaty between two nations, we

discover a coming together of two dreams, traveling down the river of life together, in peace, understanding and mutual respect; neither interfering with the other’s philoso-phy of life. Sharing in the wealth of this great country.

Refugees, like my grandfather who grew up in a ghetto in Glasgow, Scotland, hoped to build a family where freedom, peace and understanding would be as natural as breathing.

There is much evidence that the indige-nous people in Canada had similar dreams. They were willing to share, because that is who they were. That is how they lived

together from the beginning of time. That is how hunter-gatherers survive. At heart, that is how humans survive. We need to say to whomever we elect to be our next gov-ernment: “We are all human, together we could build the Canada of our dreams.”

I wonder if it isn’t an opportune time to build Canada a second time? We could start by looking into our neighbour’s eyes and there see, either our brother or our sister, wrap our arms around each other and dedi-cate ourselves to getting actively involved in bringing about peace and understanding.

My wife and I spent the last 10 days in the Shuswap and spent every day on your trail system.

It’s hard to tell how many kilometres we did because of little offshoots but we figure we did close to 200-km total mountain biking and hiking. Your trails are incredible and you should be so proud of what you guys have

developed. How you have incorporated the multi-use system is best in class and allows for mechanized and non-mechanized users to enjoy the area. The trail markings and de-scriptions are also top notch – some national and provincial trail managers could take a lesson from you guys.

We brought a GPS for the first three days,

then felt completely confident in the trail markings when combined with your online maps/descriptions.

We were so thrilled with what we discov-ered and felt compelled to say thank you.

Yet another delay in the trial that was sparked by a crash on Shuswap Lake more than five years ago.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan was most recently slated to deliver her verdict on Wednesday, Oct. 21 in BC Supreme Court in Kam-loops, but that has now been pushed back to Tues-day, Oct. 27.

The man who was at the helm of an 18-foot Cam-pion Runabout speedboat when it and a houseboat crashed head on, leaving the speedboat embedded inside the houseboat, is facing charges of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

Leon Michael Reinbrecht of Celista stands charged in the crash that killed houseboat opera-tor Ken Brown of Chase and resulted in eight other people being taken to hospital. The collision took place following a fireworks celebration in Magna Bay on the Canada Day weekend.

Charges were not laid until 17 months after the collision, while police and Crown sifted through mountains of evidence. Other delays in the pro-ceedings included time for the defendant to secure legal aid funding, a change in his lawyer as well as several hold-ups in the trial itself. It began in Febru-ary of this year and was initially scheduled for six weeks but has stretched to more than six months.

The Literacy Alli-ance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) has a new hand at the wheel.

Darcy Calkins is the new literacy outreach co-ordinator for the North Okanagan-Shus-wap area.

Calkins will be tak-ing over the position from Jennifer Findlay who has been with LASS for the past five-and-a-half years.

“It has been so amaz-ing to watch this com-munity literacy orga-nization grow over the years. Back in 2010, I was the sole employee and my kitchen table, mini-van and local coffee shops were my office spaces,” remem-bers Findlay.

In 2012 – 20 years after she graduated from high school in Salmon Arm – Calkins returned to her home-town with her family and will now oversee all of the LASS litera-cy programs and initia-tives.

LASS currently has eight employees, more than 200 dedicated vol-unteers, a downtown office space and many literacy programs for learners of all ages.

The Salmon River Bridge and four-laning of the highway at the west end of town are still on the agenda, but no word yet on when construction might start.

Mayor Nancy Coo-per and members of council met with three provincial ministers at the recent Union of BC Municipalities’ an-nual convention – Todd Stone with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Andrew Wilkinson with the Ministry of Advanced Education and Mary Polak with the Ministry of Environment.

The meeting with Stone didn’t produce much new information.

"They are continuing to work on it; they're not really giving us a date yet that they can actually start some ground work," Cooper said, adding there are still property acquisi-tions to be done.

She said she and council thanked trans-

portation ministry of-ficials for doing what they’ve done so far.

“We want them to know we’re on top of it and willing to help in any way we can,” she said. “Right now with the federal election go-ing on they’re kind of waiting – they have to talk to whoever the new federal government is as they will need fed-eral funding as well.”

Regarding the Min-ister of Advanced Edu-cation, Cooper said because Wilkinson is new to the advanced education portfolio, he needed to be brought up to date regarding the city’s plan for Okana-gan College’s proposed Learning Centre for Agriculture and its Downtown Commu-nity Campus.

Cooper said he lis-tened carefully.

“He was happy to hear about it, and it’s always good when you have communities working toward some-thing that would be an economic driver,” she remarked.

“There are some

time markers in place, deadlines we have to meet. Coming up late this fall or early win-ter, Okanagan College has to be putting an application forward to the Agricultural Land Commission,” she said,

explaining she believes the land won’t be taken out of the Agricultural Land Reserve but the application will request approval of the alter-nate use.

As for the invasive zebra and quagga mus-sels that are threaten-ing British Columbia’s lakes, Cooper said Po-lak indicated a number of communities have raised the same issue.

“And there was a

resolution in the resolu-tions section about the very same issue. She didn’t actually com-mit to anything there,” Cooper said, adding the ministry must still look at options and has put some funds into the problem. “She was very understanding.”

Cooper ran for sec-ond vice-president of the UBCM, but was not successful.

Taking the spot was Wendy Booth from the East Kootenay.

Cooper said she was pleased she ran.

“I thought it was great because even though I didn’t win – I would loved to have won – I was able to talk about Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake four dif-ferent times,” she said, referring to her speech.

Afterwards people came up to her and talked about Salmon Arm, she said. And she hasn’t ruled out run-ning again.

“I don’t know if any-one ever wins on their first time, but I can be pretty persistent too,” she said laughing.

We need local jobs so that families do not have to leave town to � nd work. We need to � x our deteriorating infrastructure. A Liberal government will double federal infrastructure investment over the next decade. Funds will provide long-term stable funding to municipalities for their priorities, creating local jobs in the areas of transportation, social (affordable housing, seniors’ facilities, etc.) and green infrastructure.

We will also promote innovation and clean technologies in forestry, energy and agricultural sectors, including sustainable agriculture, and help small- and medium-sized businesses to grow, secure funding, innovate and create a positive business environment.

New Democrats believe in the intelligent and prudent use of government, not just to respond to economic crises, but to play a leadership role in setting a path for future prosperity. The NDP will be a government opening doors globally and nation-ally.

Local industry and small business are dem-onstrating capacity to be creative, implementing strong direction to the future.

The NDP, under Tom Mulcair, will be a govern-ment, through policy and action, facilitating new horizons in a bright business future. This will, with NDP support and encouragement, bring continued growth and energy to the North Okanagan-Shus-wap.

Our riding is a small-business riding. Family farms, ranches, dairy and poultry operations in the rural half are complemented by the myriad of products and services available in our urban com-munities. I would work to:

Establish a federally-funded Green Venture Capital Fund to support viable small local green business start-ups;

Utilize the same fund to provide matching fed-eral funds for locally-raised venture capital for use in our communities;

Bring in legislation to require a consideration of the impact on small business of all new federal legislation, including trade deals, based on a simi-lar law in the European parliament.

I plan to have an open-door policy to work with all levels of government and business so we can � nd ways to expand existing opportunities and bring in new ideas.

Our government’s low tax plan encourages busi-ness to invest in capital and human resources, and will complement the advantages we have here in our lifestyle, education, transportation, marketing systems and a workforce that is ready to make it happen.

I will advocate strongly for continuing programs that assist in research and training so this area can be a leader in new opportunities and job creation.

I am passionate about protecting the lake. A Liberal government will restore the environmental protections that have been eliminated by omnibus bills (eg. habitat protection in the Fisheries Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Act) and will incorporate more modern safeguards.

We will work with our U.S. neighbours and Al-berta to prevent the spread of invasive species into our lakes. We need to look at establishing inspec-tion at entry points into B.C. And we will restore federal funding for freshwater research (including the Experimental Lakes) so that future decisions will be made on science-based evidence.

See platform at RealChange.ca

Environment is one of the biggest concerns expressed. Stephen Harper has gutted laws to pro-tect the outdoors. I have heard continual concern about the yearly receding of Shuswap Lake levels, increased vegetative levels in the lake and water quality.

I will use Tom Mulcair’s promise to “protect the environment for future generations.”

Working with provincial agencies, environmental interest groups, business and civic entities, I will be active strengthening laws to protect Canada’s lakes and rivers (Navigable Waters Act), keeping resident and business user’s requirements at the forefront.

To protect and restore freshwater ecosystems the federal government has to use its powers, including the Fisheries Act.

This is especially important when considering the changes in quality and quantity of Canada’s fresh water that will occur due to climate change. B.C. rivers will become over-heated, preventing salmon spawning; and farmers will face increas-ing drought.

Ultimately, the lake will need to be protected by the people who live here.

As MP I would work with local people and local organizations to insure the long-term viability of the lakes and streams in our riding. This makes sense; economically, socially and environmentally.

I have experienced the changes in and around Shuswap Lake and, while we can’t stop progress, I believe we can manage it and reduce any negative impact by using the most effective tool we have: education.

Pollution and the threat from invasive species can often be prevented by educating stakeholders and the public to prevent an incident in the � rst place.

I will also advocate for stronger enforcement of laws already in place to protect not just Shuswap Lake but all of our water resources.

Questions: 1) What are your ideas for improving the local economy?2) Shuswap Lake is at the heart of life in this riding. How will you act to protect this resource?

“The Aberdeen Palliative Care Society [in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia] gave us con� dence and support we needed as a family to care for him while also giving him the ability to maintain his independence,” says Bos.

The CHPCA states that hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively and they provide support to family caregivers.

It’s a sad year for Fraser River sock-eye.

Although this is a sub-dominant year, scientists had initially estimated 1.2 mil-lion late-run sockeye would enter the Fra-ser River this fall – approximately half of them aiming for spawning grounds along the South Thompson River and into Shuswap Lake and Adams River.

“We’re now thinking 200,000, which is extremely disappointing and concern-ing,” said Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the B.C. Interior, not-ing Monday that the run is very close to peak. “We don’t know what the reason is; there are lots of theories – warm wa-ter, all kinds of things, but at this point we don’t know.”

Cartwright says conser-vation is the number 1 prior-ity when it comes to setting fisheries, with allocation to First Nations for food, so-cial and ceremonial require-ments next in importance.

In terms of complaints from some anglers that First Nations were using nets on Kamloops Lake when they were not allowed to fish, Cartwright said the fishery was chinook-driven and the only sockeye natives were allowed to keep were ones that could not be revived.

Fisheries are determined by scientists from Canada and the U.S. and are based on numbers provided by the Pacific Salmon Commission.

Prior to, and in conjunction with, the

First Nations chinook fish-ery, commercial fisherman were in the approaches to the Fraser River and a rec-reational fishery was open in the South Thompson.

And therein lies the good news this year.

“There’s a very positive chinook return at this point in time – really good numbers,” Cartwright said of early as-sessment numbers for South Thompson, Adams River,

Little River, Shuswap River and Eagle River. “It is likely going to surpass the brood year (130,000); it could be in the 150,000-plus range.”

The final tally for this year’s sub-dom-inant sockeye run will likely not be avail-able until early in 2016.

Senior recovers from smoke inhalation

On scene: Firefighters watch as smoke billows from a house on the corner of 2nd Street and 2nd Avenue SE on Tuesday, Sept. 29.

An elderly resident was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital after her house caught on fire last Tuesday.

Fire chief Brad Shirley says firefighters re-sponded to the residential structure fire at 220 Second Ave. SE at 5:11 p.m.

They arrived to find thick smoke quickly be-coming open flame and the single occupant slow-ly making her way out of her home.

The woman had made it as far as an enclosed porch and was suffering from smoke inhalation.

“The fire was quickly knocked down, however considerable fire damage to main floor of the resi-dence had occurred,” said Shirley. “Early indica-tions are the resident had a fire on her stove and attempted to extinguish it without success.”

Crews were on scene for approximately an hour and a half. The woman was released from hospital the following morning.

Cause of fumes undeterminedThe Churches of Salmon Arm Thrift Store was

evacuated for a brief period Thursday morning as the fire department responded to a report of nox-ious fumes.

While a few people reported an odour, trouble breathing and watering eyes, members of the fire department were not able to find the source of the complaint. After airing out the store for a brief time, patrons were allowed back inside.

The fire department conducted air sampling tests, but nothing hazardous was found.

Paramedics were called in as a precaution, but medical treatment was not needed.

Many patrons continued their shopping among the outside items until allowed back into the store.

They might not have the authority, but someone from the salmon Arm secondary Grad Class of 2016 is trying to sell off the school.

In a posting on Kijiji, someone has listed the sullivan campus for sale for the bargain price of $2,016.

“Includes over 500 students and

over 30 teachers and staff (free of charge). Also has a large gym, mul-tiple science labs, computer labs, art rooms, fields etc,” reads the ad.

“For more information call 250-GrAD-2016.”

There’s no word on whether a buyer has come forward.

FROM THE

Archives

1925 Gym classes for la-dies are now being arranged for 3 p.m. on Fridays at St. John’s Parish Hall. There is to be a fee of fifty cents and all ladies are welcome.

1935 Practically all the wealthy apples have been shipped out from lo-cal warehouses. Macs have been rolling in steadily and while not as good quality as usual, they are finding a good market. Wealthy prices in Britain have not been as high as is desired but this is due to the huge shipments from the United States. Salmon Arm wealthies have, for the most part, been shipped via Panama.There were three big days at Bedford’s Drug Service last week during the store’s one cent sale. It is reported that the business done far exceeded previous years, which is most gratifying.

1945 Retribution was swift for a Sicamous juvenile who entered a home at Larch Hills and stole two new shirts and a watch valued at $60. Const. Thomas Moore, officer in charge of the provincial police here, was advised of the thefts at 9:30 o’clock last Friday and by 9:45 he had ap-prehended the juvenile suspect and recov-ered the loot. Apparently before Magistrate D.M. Roberston in juvenile court on Mon-day, the youth admitted guilt and was placed in strict probation for 12 months.During the past week a number of Salmon Arm men have returned from overseas service with Canada’s Armed Forces. They include Alistair McKim and Jack Farmer, who came back with the Seaforths, and Don Thompson.

1955 Grass seed sown on the city hall grounds recently is starting to germinate and a faint green sheen is appear-ing on the soil. Reporting at the city council meeting on the improvements made to the property, Ald. Thomas Bowers said that with the Kinsmen’s wading pool, it is expected that the property will be a popular playing area next year.

Life & Times

Shuswap colours: Clockwise from top left, a couple walks along the foreshore boardwalk on Sunday, Oct. 4; Emily and Alexis Bachman ride their bikes along the foreshore trail; people stroll along the wharf; the City of Salmon Arm basks in sun and Starla Henderson, her son Jasper and Celine Henderson enjoy an afternoon stroll.

If you want a picture of the new arrival to run with the announcement, bring your infant in within a week of being dis-charged from hospital and we will take their picture at no charge.

CANNONPavlina & Christopher Cannon are happy to announce the arrival of a daughter, Viktoria Hannah. Born at home in Canoe on Sept 14, 2015 at 11:29am, weighing 6lb, 7 oz. Proud grandparents are Greg & Tina Cannon of White Lake, and Hana Filova & Pavel Stepan of Prerov, Czech Republic.

ELLISRon and Sada Ellis are delighted to announce the birth of their second son, Vaughn Leonard Ellis, little brother to Levin Tyler. Born September 9, 2015. Weighing 7lbs 13oz. Proud Grandparents are Mark and Joan Ellis, and Rob and Gale LeDuc.

Lillian Howes, who passed away in Langley BC on April 19, 2015 was born Lillian Hunter in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne England on December 20, 1920. She married Norman Howes during WWII and came to Canada as a war bride at the end of the war – settling in Saskatoon Sask.

Lillian (Lily) eventually made her way to Blind Bay in the mid 70’s where she helped set up and run the Bayside Marina in Blind Bay – settling in Shuswap Lake Estates until the death of her husband, Norman Howes, in 2005 when she moved to the lower mainland to be with her children.

Lillian is survived by her four children; Carole, Douglas, Donald and Janice – her six Grandchildren and six Great Grandchildren.

There will be a Remembrance and Internment Ceremony held at St. Mary’s Church, SORRENTO, on Friday October 9th at 12:00 (noon) for both Lillian Howes and Norman Howes. Anyone who knew them and would like to attend with the family and friends are more than welcome.

After claiming three out of a possible four points over the week-end, the Silverbacks re-main near the top of the Interior Division stand-ings.

“Our maturity in the locker room has been a huge difference maker so far, and our prepa-rations for each game gives us the belief we can go out and win any game,” said Silverbacks captain Phil Middleton.

On Friday evening against the Wenatchee Wild, the league’s new-est club, the ’Backs set-tled for a 4-4 tie, before toppling Trail 5-2 on Saturday.

“Overall the weekend went well, we got the ‘W’ tonight (Saturday) and three out of the four points in total and that’s what matters,” said Middleton.

The Wild opened the scoring in the first frame, holding on to their one-goal lead until Nick Hutchison equal-ized midway through the second.

Hutchison put home the rebound after Jared Turcotte was denied by Wenatchee’s Chase Per-ry on a breakaway.

Colton Thibault gave the ’Backs the lead on the penalty kill a short time later as he scored five-hole on a break-away, thanks to a for-tunate bounce from a clearance attempt off of a Wild defenceman.

“Wenatchee play a very similar style game as us, it was like playing against ourselves out there,” said Middleton, after the game.

August Van Ungern

scored his second of the night, knotting the game at two, before Hirose scored a Dat-syuk-esque highlight reel goal, his first of the season.

On the penalty kill, Hirose stripped the puck from a Wild de-fenceman behind the Wenatchee net, then shielded the puck as he walked out front and buried the puck in the top corner on the back-hand, past the glove of Perry.

“It definitely felt great to get the mon-key off my back, I was struggling to find the back of the net, but hopefully the goals will start to come in bunch-es, now” said last year’s leading scorer.

A relentless fore-check and strong physi-cal play in the corners kept the Wild on their heels for most of the

third, then an untimely turnover in front of An-gus Redmond led to a Wenatchee goal.

Brett Stewart scored from the blue-line and soon after Wenatchee equalized again, forcing overtime. Both teams traded quality scoring chances, but were un-able to break the dead-lock thanks to their goaltenders.

“If we would have had kept our compo-sure with the puck in our zone we probably would have had two points,” said ’Backs head coach Brandon West.

On Saturday night the Silverbacks raced out to a commanding 4-0 lead before the midway point in the game. Banking on previously estab-lished chemistry from playing in Penticton together, West put New-some and Laframboise

on a line together with the speedy Blanchard hoping it would pay off.

The forward line started off the scor-ing for the ’Backs and maintained the mo-mentum throughout the game.

“Our line was buzz-ing tonight, we have a sense of familiar-ity playing together and that makes a big differ-ence on the ice,” said Laframboise.

Blanchard opened the scoring courtesy of Laframboise and New-some, before returning the favour to Lafram-boise only 28 seconds later for his first of the year.

“Getting my first of the season was great, it gave not only me but my linemates a boost of momentum in the game,” said the Regina native. Marcus Mitchell and Ross Heidt add-

ed their names to the score sheet, before Trail struck twice.

Hutchison scored into an empty net, his second in as many nights ic-ing the game. Although the ’Backs won, West was critical of the game and expressed the need to limit unnecessary penalties and defensive zone blunders.

“We spent a lot of energy last night really trying to push the pace and I think that had an effect on us tonight. That being said, I am pleased with the effort put forward this week-end,” said West.

The Silverbacks now turn the focus towards division rivals Merritt this evening at the Shaw Centre.

“They won’t be push-overs, we have to be willing to work and put in a full 60 minutes,” said Middleton.

Jackrabbits need coachesThe Jackrabbit Program is looking for several new leaders this year to help the program run successfully. The Larch Hills Nordic Society pays for the cost of anyone taking the coaching courses. One weekend course is required to coach Bun-nies, and a second course is required to coach Jackrabbits levels 1-4. If enough people are interested, they will be run in Salmon Arm. Any-one interested in taking the coach training must notify the program co-ordinators soon as the first course will be on Oct. 16-17. For mor informa-tion, email Megan Brooke at [email protected], or Marie Peterson at [email protected].

NOS students excel at NAGA


Best of the best: Élan Breget, left, Jonah Lazar, Morgan Hack-man, Ty Bailey, Elijah Lazar and Winter Breget returned home from the 2015 North American Grappling Championship (NAGA), in Seattle with two medals each.

Six Brazilian jiu-jitsu students from the North Okanagan Shus-wap returned home with two medals each to add to their trophy cabinets.

Winter Breget, Élan Breget, Elijah Lazar, Jonah Lazar, Ty Bailey and Morgan Hackman travelled south of the boarder to compete in the 2015 North Ameri-can Grappling Cham-pionship (NAGA), in Seattle.

Coached by Ma-rio Deveault owner of North Okanagan Shuswap Brazilian Ju Jitsu, the kids compet-ed in both gi and no-gi events.

In the gi events the athletes wear a gi, or kimono, and are able to grab on to their op-ponents sleeves, col-lars or pant legs to gain and control position, as well as in applying submissions.

In no-gi they wear a T-shirt and board shorts and must try to control an opponent by gripping the body’s natural handles: the neck, the wrist, the el-bow, the knee or hips.

Elijah Lazar, 13, won the gold medal in both of his events.

His younger broth-er Jonah, 11, proved he to was no push over and won gold in each of his events as well. Also snatching two gold medals was 12-year-old Bailey and

nine-year-old Winter Breget.

Winter’s older broth-er Élan, 10, won silver in both, only losing by a couple points in each of his final bouts.

Eight-year-old Mor-gan Hackman from Vernon won silver and bronze in his events.

Chargers’ offence on fireThe Salmon Arm

Chargers remain the only undefeated team in the Vancouver Main-land Football League, as they trounced the Vancouver Trojans 46-6 on Saturday.

Jason Mourato threw for over 100 yards and two touchdowns. Tyler Chartier, Trystan Ke-noras and Ryker Da-vison each scored two majors, while Travis Beer finished off the scoring with a short yardage plunge into the endzone.

Next up for the Char-gers is a visit from the Richmond Raiders this Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Jr. BantamAnything the Ban-

tams can do, the Jr. Bantam Chargers can do too, as they cruised to a 44-6 win over the fourth-place Kelowna Riders on Sunday.

The Chargers again displayed their strong rushing attack, scoring four total touchdowns along the ground.

Jonah Rivette earned offensive player of the game honours for his strong play in the sec-ond half.

Defensively, the Chargers only gave up a handful of first downs and one major.

Leading the way on defence was Ashly Bakema, who chased a Riders player 40 yards down field to save a touchdown.

The Chargers will

take a break for the Thanksgiving long weekend, and will be back in action the fol-lowing Sunday hosting West Kelowna for their final regular season home game of the year.

PeeweeSalmon Arm took a

three touchdown lead into the locker room at half time agaisnt Kelowna and seemed to have the game well in hand.

Ryley McEown, Dominic Kemitzis and Cohen Boyd scored the touchdowns opening up a 22-0 lead.

The Riders, how-ever, were not about to roll over and blew the game wide open in the

second half, scoring a touchdown in the third quarter and another in the fourth, taking the score to 22-16.

The Salmon Arm defence had its hands full, but thanks to out-standing defensive performances by Ke-mitzis, Ethan McPher-son, Boyd and Mason Sewell, the Charges were able to stop the Riders on their final drive of the game with no time left on the clock to preserve the victory.

The Peewee Char-gers are now in third place in the league and will look to improve on that this Sunday at Little Mountain when they host the Kam-loops Blue Broncos.

Actors sought for read-through

Lana Caputi and Dan Thiessen have written a television screenplay they plan to pitch to Hallmark and super Channel.

but first, they need to hear how their characters are brought to life.

so Caputi and Thiessen are inviting male and fe-male actors from age 25 and up to be part of a cast to read through the script.

What’s Your Normal is a story about rosee Ma-son, whose life is interrupted when she meets the autistic bill Wilcox.

“she tries to change him, but in doing so faces the biggest change of her life,” says Caputi.

A south shuswap resident, Caputi is a director and choreographer who has directed two plays at shuswap Theatre and is now switching from live theatre to film.

she has written an animated musical, The Bub-blegum Tree, that is going to be pitched in China and deals with autism.

It is a subject Caputi is familiar with, having stud-ied about the condition for two years in order to help her sister and brother-in-law with their autistic child. That expanded to a vancouver organization that works with people with special needs, on a one-one-one basis, a theatre program, home care and skills programs.

“When I wrote Bubblegum Tree, there were two boys from salmon Arm who really touched my heart, and were part of the writing team,” says Ca-puti, who still mourns the loss of shane Gorner, who was killed last year in a workplace accident. “He was a big part of Bubblegum Tree.”

Caputi also has high praise for vitaliy Demens, a filmmaker who owns his own company raven Pro-ductions.

she works closely with the okanagan Film Com-mission and is hoping the movie will be filmed lo-cally.

Thiessen is a Kelowna songwriter and novelist.The read-through will take place from 1 to 4 p.m.

saturday, oct. 24 at shuswap Theatre.“It will be an opportunity for actors to network

and make their talent known,” says Caputi, noting the session will be held in workshop fashion. “We’ll also get a feel for the talent in the area and the people who come onboard will be part of the workshop.”

There will be no formal auditions but actors who wish to participate must contact Caputi prior to the read-through by calling 250-801-7775 or 250-675-3737.

Amid the Thanksgiving celebrations this weekend is the opportunity to give a hand-up to a longtime com-munity booster.

They are there for the joy of singing with other men, not to raise money.

But the funds the Men’s Chorus earns from twice-yearly con-certs go back to the community.

“We don’t need them so we donate the money in two $750 scholarships to Salmon Arm Secondary stu-dents whose primary or secondary interest is in fine arts after they graduate,” says chorus member Doug Leat-

herdale. “It’s usually about $2,500, money we have left over after paying for music and the other expenses.”

Leatherdale says the men’s chorus has been well supported by the Community Founda-tion and some local businesses.

“We have a van with a lovely set of risers and it makes it a lot easier to set up for con-certs,” he says.

Leatherdale says the Christmas concert is in early December, is very popular and always sells out very quickly – as is the

spring performance.Chorus director

Mary Landers chooses music for the group and comes up with what Leatherdale de-scribes as a nice selec-tion.

“Last spring, we were asked to record three songs for the Pro-vincial Choir Festival and came second in the men’s category,” Leat-herdale says, noting Landers was thrilled. “She is very accom-plished, specially when she has to deal with 40 guys who are not all pointed in the same di-rection.”

Leatherdale encour-ages any man who likes to sing to show up to the first rehearsal, which takes place in the band room at the Jackson campus at 7

p.m., Oct. 7, or call Mary Landers at 250-832-2359. No auditions are re-quired – just the desire to sing with a bunch of men.

Every year, the Shus-wap Branch of the Reg-istered Music Teachers recognizes their stu-dents who have suc-cessfully accomplished advance-level piano ex-ams with their prerequi-site theoretical exams, Grade 8 to the level of Associate of the Royal Conservatory (ARCT).

The Royal Conser-vatory and Conser-vatory Canada send examiners to commu-nities across Canada each year to examine students, providing a valuable comprehen-sive assessment of mu-sicianship by including repertoire, technical

tests, études, ear and sight reading.

Each grade requires examinations also in theoretical subjects. Grade 8 is equivalent to Grade 12 school cred-its and grades above that are considered to be post secondary.

This year, congratu-lations go to Emma Levins, Julia Brown, Rachel Bates, Holly McCallum and Jes-sica Neudorf for Grade 8 piano, and Ashley Fong and Elena Bruns for their Associate Di-ploma in Piano Perfor-mance (ARCT) from the Royal Conserva-tory of Music.

Piano students make grade

Accomplished: Rachel Bates, Jessica Neudorf, Holly McCallum, Julia Brown and Emma Levins celebrate their Royal Conservancy of Canada Grade 8 success. Missing is Ashley Fong and Elena Bruns, who graduated from Grade 12 last year.

Sunday Salon on the Novel: Writing HomeA morning workshop with internationally best-selling author Gail Anderson-Dargatz.

We’ve all heard the phrase “write what you know” but writing fiction from real life isn’t easy. We worry about what mom will think. We worry if we have the right to tell the story, or write about a given location. We get stuck in reality -- what “really happened” -- and our fiction flounders because of it. In this workshop we’ll explore all these issues and more with the goal of writing powerful fiction that has the authority that can only come from “writing what you know.”

When: Sunday, October 18, 2015 from 10 a.m. to noon.

Where: Blind Bay Hall. 2510 Blind Bay Rd, Sorrento, BC

Cost: $45 per person. For more information or to register, please email: [email protected]. For details, please visit Gail’s website: www.gailanderson-dargatz.ca

Ian Bos is well on his way to completing his nearly 6,000 kilo-metre hike to honour his late father, Ted, and acknowledge the care dad and family re-ceived.

“We had many ups and downs with the medical system; how-ever, Ted was treated with the utmost com-passion and dignity by the Aberdeen Palliative Care Society in New Glasgow, N.S.,” notes Bos on his website www.ianswalk2015.ca.

“With their assis-tance, we were able to keep Dad at home where he wanted to be with his family with the confidence that if we needed anything, they would be there.

And they were there with us every step of the way.”

Oct. 5 was day 138 of Bos’ cross-country walk to raise funds and awareness of the importance of hospice palliative care. And, by end of day, he had reached 5,259 kilome-tres in his 5,465-km quest.

On Monday, Oct. 12, Bos will spend the afternoon as a guest of Shuswap Hospice at an event to be held from 1:30 to 4 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Everyone is welcome to hear Bos and other speakers.

Bos is expected to finish his walk in Vic-toria on Oct. 26.

Boudoir talesMike Nash, Randy Brogden and Laura Noakes perform a scene from Norm Foster’s Bedtime Stories that runs Oct. 16 to 31 at Shuswap Theatre.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t get so caught up with the busyness of daily life [and the plethora of routine chores] that you lose sight of the big picture. By all means tackle the to-do list, but Jupiter urges you to expand your perspective; while Venus encourages you to smell the roses along the way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Spending time with children, work colleagues or friends is highlighted, but expect some confusing misunderstandings along the way. There’s also a hint of magic and mystery in the air, so make sure you stretch yourself in creative new directions. Serious Saturn stymies communication next weekend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you expect professional projects and domestic matters to proceed at a cracking pace then you’ll be disappointed [especially mid-week]. Everything will take much longer than expected … with plenty of frustrations and distracting detours along the way. On Saturday, Mercury [your ruling planet] finally moves forwards again.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): This week favours communicating, connecting and conversing with others in creative ways. … as long as you communicate clearly and concisely. If you don’t, then expect cross words, crossed wires and confusing mix-ups. And don’t be too black and white about relationship issues Crabs!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s the potential for power struggles, especially with authority figures or work colleagues. You’ll find the more demanding and Diva-like your behaviour, the more difficult Tuesday and Wednesday will be. On the financial front be careful with money, as you’re inclined to make extravagant purchases for purely emotional reasons.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): By the end of the week the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter will be visiting your sign. Which is great for all the Virgo-esque things you love to do – like planning, organizing, analysing, sorting, studying, categorizing and criticising. But don’t get so caught up in the detailed minutiae of daily life that you forget to savour each step and have fun along the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have you been feeling tongue-tied? With Mercury reversing through your sign [since September 18] it’s been difficult to communicate, especially with loved ones. Your ability to express what’s on your mind gradually returns, as Mercury moves forwards in your sign on Saturday. Saturn then squares Venus on Sunday, when a romance or friendship may appear to be unusually cool.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Sun links up with Pluto on Tuesday/Wednesday, which encourages your Scorpio temperamental streak and control-freak tendencies. You’ll find the more stubborn you are, the more challenging the week will be. Compulsive thinking is also a danger, as you obsess over a close relationship or work situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Early in the week there’s a very fine line between illusion and delusion, so be careful. Use your active imagination in positive, productive ways – and don’t believe everything you hear. We all know Sagittarians are independent souls but don’t feel you have to accomplish everything on your own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Being a bossy, controlling Capricorn will get you nowhere fast this week. In order for your close relationships to blossom, you need to give loved ones plenty of personal space and room to shine. You’ll find praising others is also much more productive than criticism. On the weekend, you may feel temporarily discouraged,.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid making important money moves on Wednesday, when Mars and Neptune scramble your financial antennae. Joint finances will be especially confusing so leave delicate discussions about fiscal matters for a more suitable time. On the weekend, romance is highlighted as love planet Venus moves forwards in your intimacy zone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sensitive Pisceans often suffer from a lack of self-confidence. With Saturn visiting your public/reputation zone, it’s time to worry less about the way other people perceive you. Don’t allow others to define the way you feel about yourself! Learn to appreciate [and develop] your innate strengths, and then you can take your rightful place in the world around you.
