After four decades of try-ing to start a formal economic relationship with Europe, Canada is

poised to sign a free-trade agreement

with the European Union next year, Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper has told Newsfi rst Multimedia.

Effect on agreementDuring an exclusive interview session

with Harper in Montreal on Nov. 18, to which our newspaper was invited, the

Prime Minister was asked by Newsfi rst Multimedia whether Canada-EU free trade negotiations have advanced, and what eff ect the fi nancial turmoil which is spreading in Europe could have on an eventual agreement.

“Canada’s been trying to get a trade agreement with Europe for 40 years,”

he said. “I remember when I was a boy, Trudeau was talking about getting a trade agreement with Europe, so this is a great breakthrough. Unfortunately we’re in negotiations at a time when there’s probably less to be gained from Europe than there was at any other

Premier Jean Charest’s Liberal government should be approaching its ambitious strategy for Quebec’s far north

– the ‘Plan Nord’ – with sustainable devel-opment in mind and while looking at it from the standpoint of environmental, economic and social responsibilities, says NDP leadership aspirant Tom Mulcair, a former sustainable development minister under Charest.

Left Quebec Liberals“I won’t comment specifi cally on a pro-

vincial plan,” Mulcair, who broke away from Charest and the Quebec Liberals four years ago after a controversial envi-ronmental dispute and who is now a front runner in the NDP race, said in an exclu-sive interview with Newsfi rst Multimedia.

“But I will say this,” he added concerning the federal role in the matter “� e federal government has an obligation to ensure a certain number of things, including the protection and preservation of our navigable waterways including rivers and lakes. It has the obligation to supervise groundwater in many instances. It has some obligations with regard to the far north and to the community. So I think that we’re talking about sustainable devel-opment every step of the way.

Wary of foreign interests“� e other thing that I think is impor-

tant is making sure that to the extent possible Canadians as a general rule get a fair share of the value of their natural resources,” Mulcair continued. “Going back to the Duplessis era, it’s always been the case that Quebec’s been very open to

foreign companies coming in and taking advantage of our natural resources. But they are just that – they are our natural resources – and we should make sure that the Canadian public has its fair share.”

Although Charest fi rst started send-ing up trial balloons for the Plan Nord more than two years ago, it was only in recent weeks that he’s started to feel real heat from potential critics and opponents. For example, former PQ Premier Jacques Parizeau complained in an interview with Le Devoir last week that Quebec is on the brink of being exploited by foreign inter-ests taking advantage of the Plan Nord. Similarly last week, some of the strongest words of resistance yet were expressed by native peoples in Quebec’s north, who stand most to be aff ected by Plan Nord.

Mining interests excitedWhile they and nature conservation-

ists have the most reservations about the Plan Nord, excitement is understand-ably growing among mining companies, given the Charest government’s intention of eventually laying down a road that would open a land-based gateway into the southern portion of the isolated northern third of Quebec’s territory – Nunavik – believed to be heavily laden with mineral deposits.

Having served as Sustainable Development Minister under Charest, Mulcair left provincial politics in 2007, not long after the Liberal government took a controversial stance on the trans-fer of provincially-owned land at Mount Orford provincial park to condo develop-ers – a policy with which Mulcair greatly disagreed. During a subsequent cabinet shuffl e when Charest off ered him a lesser portfolio, he refused, and not long after Mulcair announced he would be running

federally in Outremont for the NDP.

Impact can’t be ignoredAsked earlier this week by Newsfi rst

Multimedia for his overall assessment of the Plan Nord, Mulcair responded, “I’m going to be very careful not to com-ment directly on the Charest government, because I’m now working at the federal level. I’ll make sure that we undertake to respect our obligations to supervise the accumulated health eff ects of any development, that we look at the eff ect on water, including ground water and navigable lake waters, and that we look at federal jurisdictions, for example, in certain areas of the north, and I’ll confi ne my remarks to that.

“But I will say,” he continued, “that irre-spective of the level of government, that whenever you do develop in an area like that, you have to make sure that you take into account the ecological, the economic and the social impact. � at social impact requires you to make sure that the society as a whole is benefi ting as much possible from any profi ts that are being made from any natural resources that are owned by the people.”

OPINION & EDITORIAL

When you have been looking at the drug industry for as long as I have, examining the way diseases and pharmaceuticals are mar-keted, packaged, and pitched to doctors and

patients, nothing much surprises you anymore.One might get a little tired of seeing the same old decep-

tive marketing ploys repackaged and retooled, launched to fool new generations of consumers and health profession-als, but at least it’s entertaining. Occasionally an epiphany strikes, like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky instantly elevating one to a whole new level of incredulity

Hard to believe the pediatricians were seriousSuch a thunderbolt hit me this past week when I learned

that experts at a recent American Heart Association con-ference were recommending that more children should be screened for high cholesterol before puberty. And they seemed to mean it.

I checked to make sure it wasn’t April Fool’s Day because this is the kind of dastardly stuff those medical jokesters sometimes try to get away with. Sure enough, those pediatri-cians were serious.

So, apparently, concerned are they about the health of children, they believe it is worth screening kids for high cholesterol at younger and younger ages. � is seems strange because high cholesterol, one needs to be constantly reminded, isn’t a disease but is a “risk factor” for a future disease (such as heart attacks) which mostly strikes middle-aged and older people. A risk factor might aff ect your health

in the same way as being poor means you’re more likely to have worse health compared to someone who isn’t poor. But most people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol.

So why bother screening kids for a risk factor for a dis-ease that’s not likely going to hurt them, if it ever does, for another 50 or 60 or 70 years? Because we can.

� e apparent rationale given at this conference is that statin drugs - treatments like Lipitor, Zocor or Crestor - can be used safely in children. � e experts say that, with rising obesity levels in children, monitoring their cholesterol levels will only help them prevent future health problems.

When I fi nally soaked in this idea for a while I asked myself in a very subdued voice: “Have we all gone stark rav-ing nuts?”

Let’s look at some of the facts in this case: We’ve known for years that selling medication to treat your “future risk” for a disease is hugely and immensely profi table for the phar-maceutical industry, yet the benefi ts to health are sometimes nonexistent.

Statin drugs, prescribed to lower cholesterol, are among the biggest-selling prescription drugs on the planet. � e pharmaceutical industry has invested heavily in convinc-ing medical scientists, patient groups and our prescribing doctors to think about cholesterol as a nasty foreign enemy which needs to be brought down at all costs instead of a sub-stance essential for life that actually resents being chemically tinkered with.

While physicians will prescribe statins appropriately in men who have established heart disease, there is much con-

troversy over whether the drugs are eff ective in women and the elderly. As for the benefi t of cholesterol lowering in kids? � ose studies haven’t even been done yet.

Like any drug therapy, there are potential adverse eff ects and patients taking statins have higher rates of kidney failure, cataracts, and liver damage compared to similar patients who take placebos. � e most common eff ect, expe-rienced by 20-25 per cent of statin-treated people, is muscle pain or weakness. � e basic message here: you should have a clear chance of benefi t before you start tinkering with your body’s cholesterol levels.

Why not screen kids at an even younger age?So I say, if we are all going to go ahead and drink Big

Pharma’s Kool Aid, why don’t we go a step further? Why should the medical profession wait until kids are

eight or nine before they start screening them for high cholesterol and prescribing them powerful statin drugs? Why not screen them at a much earlier stage, and look for evidence of high cholesterol while in utero? � is would help parents-to-be prepare for the arrival of their little bundle by stocking up on Lipitor-laced baby formula.

Sound desperate? Perhaps not so desperate as the cho-lesterol empire that won’t rest until it’s convinced an entire generation of parents that their kids are pre-diseased and need to be saved by their drugs.

The true cost of Medicare for individuals and fami-lies in Canada is often misunderstood, with many people thinking it’s either free or covered by our provincial health insurance premiums.

� is misconception has many sources. In part, it stems from the fact that health care consumption is free at the point of use, leading many to grossly underestimate the actual cost of care delivered. Furthermore, health care is fi nanced through general government revenues, rather than fi nanced through a dedicated tax, further blurring the true dollar cost of the service.

A $130-billion billIn addition, health spending numbers are often presented

in aggregate, which results in a number so large that it becomes almost meaningless to the average Canadian. For instance, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s latest data release, provincial/territorial govern-ments are estimated to have spent $130.3 billion of our tax dollars on publicly-funded health care in Canada in 2011.

A more informative measure of the cost of our health care system is health expenditures per person. � e $130.3 bil-lion presented above works out to approximately $3,778 per Canadian. � is would be the cost of the public health care insurance plan if every Canadian resident paid an equal share. But some Canadians are children and dependents and thus are not taxpayers, and Canadians certainly do not pay equal amounts.

So how much do we really pay as individuals and families for our Medicare system?

In order to determine a more precise estimate of the cost of public health care insurance for the average Canadian family

in 2011, we must determine how much an average family is expected to contribute in taxes to all three levels of govern-ment. � e percentage of the family’s total tax bill that pays for public health insurance is then assumed to match the share of total government tax revenues (including natural resource revenues) dedicated to health care (estimated to be 24.9 per cent in 2010/2011).

Breaking down the Canadian population into 10 income groups makes it possible to show what families from various income brackets will pay for public health care insurance in 2011. Income fi gures are pre-tax and based on cash income, which includes wages and salaries, self-employment income (farm and non-farm), interest, dividends, private and gov-ernment pension payments, old age pension payments, and other transfers from governments (such as universal child care benefi t):• Average cash income of $11,395; $496 paid for public health

care insurance• Average cash income of $25,624; $1,166 paid for public

health care insurance• Average cash income of $34,696; $2,328 paid for public








health care insurance

Looking by common family types, this calculation fi nds that the estimated average payment for public health care insurance in 2011 was:• $10,707 for the average 2 adult family• $10,473 for the average 2 adult and 1 child family• $10,486 for the average 2 adult and 2 child family• $3,607 for the average unattached (single) individual

Good return for money spent?It is critical to recognize that these estimates count only

the direct costs of Medicare. � ey do not count administra-tive costs subsumed by other government departments that support health care through activities such as tax collection, or other privately borne costs related to the fi nancing and operation of Medicare such as tax compliance or the private burden of waiting for health care.

Hopefully these estimates of the cost of Medicare by fam-ily will provide Canadians with a clearer picture of just how much they pay for public health care insurance. With a more precise estimate of what they really pay, Canadians will be in a better position to decide whether they are getting a good return on the money they spend.

Screening kids for high cholesterol a silly idea

Want to know what Canada’s health care system costs you?


It’s starting to look like Christmas in Rosemère, a lower-Laurentian com-munity where the snow-covered trees make it an especially festive place dur-ing the annual holidays.

For the fi fth year, the administration of the city has decided to stage a two-day Christmas event in the downtown core for the benefi t of children and the young at heart. Starting at mid-afternoon on Friday Dec. 9, lots of events will be taking place into the late afternoon of Saturday Dec. 10.

Ice sculpting champsOn Friday beginning at 7 p.m. there’ll

be an ice-sculpting show near the foun-tain in parc des Pionniers. During the presentation, Laurent Godon, who holds the Guinness record for being the fastest ice sculptor in the world, accompanied by Nicolas Godon anoth-er ice sculpting expert, will give a dem-onstration of their prowess. (� e two work so fast you may want to get there early. According to the schedule, it’s not supposed to go past 7:15 p.m.)

On Saturday around 10:30 a.m., Santa Claus will be arriving downtown accompanied by elves, after which he’ll spend time at the library listening to children’s wishes until 3 p.m. A profes-sional photographer will be on hand to record the moment for those who would like that. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., children from three to 10 years of age are invited to sit down in a corner of the library and listen to a Christmas story, ‘Bisou et le chat du père Noël,’ told in French. It could get crowded, so the advice is to get there early.

Market a successHaving had much success with the

concept in past years, the city has decided to stage the outdoor market for Christmas once again. Held under a large heated tent which is erected in the parking lot outside the public library, the market has proven itself to be an ideal place for Rosemèrites to

shop for unusual gifts and organic food products sold by around 30 merchants from the Rosemère area. Whereas Rosemère used to hold the Christmas market only on Saturday, this year it will be open on Friday afternoon and evening as well.

“We had so much success with the outdoor market that we’ve decided to extend it over two days,” Mayor Hélène Daneault said during a press briefi ng held at the library on Nov. 30. According to the mayor, more and more municipalities across Quebec have decided to hold similar commu-nity markets during special events as a means of stimulating the local econo-my. “We are very happy to be one those municipalities,” she said. “It provides an opportunity for people to come out and meet in a place where everyone can get together.”

Events on SaturdayA few other Christmas-time favou-

rites Rosemère has decided to have again: horse-drawn calèche rides, infl atable games for the kids and face-painting. All will be taking place out-side the library on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., along with ice sculpting from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. � e Petit Choeur de Rosemère will be holding a free con-cert from 2 to 3 p.m. at Église Sainte-François-Cabrini.

Rosemère is preparing to celebrate Christmas All sorts of festive events planned for Dec. 9 and 10


Most children ask for a pet at some point in their lives – very often a puppy, and very often at Christmas. � ey plead with Mom and Dad for a puppy and promise they’ll feed him and walk him and take care of him. � e novelty usually wears off after a few weeks or sometimes months, and Mom and Dad become the full-time feeders and the walkers and the poop scoopers for the next 10-15 years.

� e chaos of the holidays is general-ly not a good time to introduce a new dog, because she needs a lot of time, training and a regular routine. But if everyone in the household supports the idea of getting a dog and is will-ing to contribute, parents can wrap a dog toy, bowl and a leash to put under the tree. � e family can then start researching what kind of dog would be suitable and where to fi nd her.

A great place to start is www.fi nd-ingfi do.ca, a new website launched by the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS). � is fun website provides many tools and advice to help families make sure they’re ready for a dog, how to pick the right one and how to make sure it’s from a car-ing, reputable source. � e website will help you decide whether you should look for a puppy, an adult or maybe a senior, and how to fi nd the right Fido for your lifestyle. Be sure to answer Fido’s 15 questions!

� ere are thousands of wonder-ful dogs, cats and other animals at humane societies, SPCAs and rescue groups just waiting to be adopted into their forever homes. You’ll fi nd pup-pies, adolescents, mature dogs and purebreds too. � e expert staff at a shelter will be able to tell you a bit about a dog’s temperament such as if the dog is good with children, gets along with cats, is full of energy or prefers to relax all day. All of this information is invaluable in helping you make the right decision.

If you really want to buy from a breeder, you must do your homework to make sure you don’t unknowingly support a puppy mill or backyard breeder. A puppy mill is a breeding operation where dogs are mistreated and kept in horrendous conditions. Such places thrive on people making impulse and uninformed decisions. FindingFido.ca provides the specifi c advice you need and the questions you should ask to be able to distin-guish caring, ethical breeders from disreputable and downright cruel operations. � e bottom line is you must always visit a breeder before agreeing to buy a puppy, and don’t rely solely on websites.

When people make a smart, informed decision to get a dog, their new friend will enrich their life in so many ways. But when people make uninformed or impulse decisions, the result is often heartache, expense and guilt for the people, and suf-fering or abandonment for the dog. FindingFido.ca will help you do it right. So think carefully, choose wisely and love deeply.

Finding Fido under the tree


Does Peter Kent, Canada’s Conservative environ-ment minister, know what ozone is? It’s a question

which Liberal MP Justin Trudeau is asking seriously.

Especially since Kent didn’t answer when Trudeau fi rst asked in the House of Commons on Nov. 21. � is has led Trudeau to add to the mounting criti-cism from the opposition benches that it would certainly appear the environ-ment is not one of the Conservative government’s priorities.

An unquiet portfolioWhile environment (along with

Status of Women) should perhaps be one of the more quiet portfolios in the Harper cabinet, Kent fi nds himself this week at the centre of an increasingly uncomfortable controversy over the rumour of Canada’s impending with-drawal as a supporter of the Kyoto Protocol.

� e environment minister has called the Kyoto agreement, which was signed by the former Liberal govern-ment, “one of the biggest blunders” the Liberals ever made. � e Conservative government has questioned the sci-entifi c validity of Kyoto, which links human activity to global warming. � e government wants to adhere to new international greenhouse gas control commitments made at climate change conferences held in Copenhagen and Cancun in more recent years.

Arctic ice reportAll this comes about as scientists

published a report last week claiming that Arctic sea ice has shrunk more in the past half-century than at any other time in the last 1,450 years. � ey believe that climate change is occur-ring faster in the Arctic than anywhere else on earth and that sea ice is one of the main indicators. “It’s diffi cult not to come to the conclusion that green-house gases must have something to do with this,” Christian Zdanowicz of

the Geological Survey of Canada, one of the authors of the report, told the Globe and Mail.

Trudeau’s exchange with Kent in the Commons was the result of an Environment Canada internal memo leaked to the media, which detailed cuts to be made by the Conservative government to the monitoring of ozone in the atmosphere. � e exchange went like this:

Kent vs. TrudeauTrudeau: “Mr. Speaker, I had pre-

pared a question for the Minister of the Environment about this troubling memo and the contradictions in his responses. � ese political non-answers lead me to ask a basic question on the minister’s knowledge of this important issue. Could the minister explain to the House what ozone is and what is the diff erence between its impact at low altitude and high altitude? I just need to know that he understands the issues.”

Kent: “Mr. Speaker, if there are any shortcomings in this House, it is in the quality of the questions from the Liberal opposition. � is government

would gladly compare our record on the environment, in all its dimensions, to…” Trudeau: “You don’t know what ozone is.” Kent: Mr. Speaker, to com-plete my answer, again, the opposition is using a questionable media source quotation of one of my staff that has been taken out of context.”

A missed opportunityTrudeau, who has taken a few blows

to the ego when he has sometimes dared to raise a point in the House, only to fi nd himself facing the guns of a well-prepared minister, claimed in a statement e-mailed out following the exchange with Kent that “basically I gave him an opportunity to make me look foolish.” He also pointed out that Canadians have historically led the charge internationally in the banning of ozone-depleting substances.

“But does the Minister know what ozone is?” continued Trudeau. “I asked. Mr. Kent didn’t answer. And that, in a very unfortunate way, makes a lot of sense to me. Mr. Kent is not concerned with the depletion of the ozone, or even the environment in general. He doesn’t

care that the largest hole ever discov-ered is right now hanging above the Arctic. Mr. Kent’s concerns, and the concerns of this Conservative govern-ment, rest solely on an ideologically-driven agenda of slashing budgets.”

� e North-Shore News placed a call to the environment minister’s offi ce to obtain a response. None was received by our deadline.

time previously. But that said, Europe is still a huge market and will still be a huge player in the future. So we’re going to press ahead, and I think that all the signs are that we’re going to be able to conclude next year.”

Less U.S. dependenceSome economists believe that

Canada’s signing a free trade agree-

ment with the EU would make this country less dependent on the econo-my of the United States. While histori-cally the U.S. has been Canada’s most important trade partner, our south-erly neighbour’s economy is slump-ing seriously. Although Canada has no wide-ranging economic agreement with the EU, in 1976 Canada signed the Framework Agreement on Economic Co-operation with the European Economic Community, the organiza-tion which preceded the EU.

Since 2009, the Harper Conservative government has been negotiating with the EU, with the goal of sign-ing the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Canada currently has a free trade agree-ment with the European Free Trade Association, which represents Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Lichtenstein. According to Harper, there have been nearly a dozen rounds of negotiations with the EU. He noted that a Canada/EU free trade agreement was promised by the Conservatives during the last election campaign.

Tories signed many agreements“We’re still on track to achieve that,”

said Harper. “� e negotiations are now entering the critical phase. We’re down

to the short hairs where the some of the diffi cult trade-off s have to be made. And this is important for Canada. Our government has expanded the number of countries we have trade agreements with from fi ve to 14.

“I mean it’s unbelievable that when we took offi ce, as one of the most trade-dependent economies in the world we had only fi ve trade agreements, and the two biggest ones were signed by the previous Conservative government. So we had a lot of work to do, we’re now up to 14, but frankly we’re got a lot more work to do, that’s the bottom line.”

As for the timing of a Canada/EU agreement, he added, “All the prob-lems in Europe, does that put the trade agreement in jeopardy? I think it’s actually the opposite. I think because the Europeans have so many prob-lems, they need to show some positive momentum on some other fronts. And the European Union, one of its great achievements over time has been trade. First of all trade within Europe and then expanded trade outside of Europe. I’m optimistic we’re still going to con-clude an agreement.”

While the signing of a trade agree-ment with the Europeans appears more likely than not, Harper acknowl-edged in some of his remarks that

the Conservative government is “con-cerned that the uncertainty in Europe and elsewhere is going to cause increas-ing stress on the Canadian economy.” However, at the same time, he said they are focusing on immigration as a means of encouraging growth in Canada’s economy.

Focus on immigration“We have not in any way restricted

immigration during the recession,” said Harper, maintaining that the policy is without precedent. “In fact, if anything we’ve increased it and we’ve certainly increased the use of key economic cat-egories like temporary foreign work-ers. Our government believes strongly that immigration is an essential and positive component of the Canadian economy.

“We’re going to look at additional reforms where we can make it work even better. But the fact of the mat-ter is that this is the fi rst government in history not to restrict immigration during a recession, because we believe that vigorous immigration is essential not just to the immediate but to the long-term well-being of the Canadian economy.”

Despite economic woes in Europe, PM is ‘optimistic’ ◄ Continued from page 1

LTMHS has been extremely lucky to have

the opportunity of the France Exchange. Students from France and our own secondary 3 students get to live together to experience what life is like in each others’ homes and countries. This educational and cultural experience teaches students global camaraderie with intense cultural immersion.

On October 13, French students between the ages of 10 and 13 arrived at LTMHS to an open-armed welcome. They stayed with the families of our students for 10 days. In this short amount of time, they had the chance to visit Quebec and Montreal, spend a fun-filled evening at a cabane à sucre, shop at our malls, play laser tag, and much more. Some of the French students were even taken to concerts and Habs games! Though the French students were shy at first, by the end of their stay, they had become just as open and inviting as our own LTMHS students. On October 23, students said their good-byes amidst some tearful eyes and laughter. The French students left with many happy memories to tell their families and friends in France. In May 2012, LTMHS students will be going to France to live with their new family members and share in a truly amazing and wonderful experience.

LTMHS has been LFrance Exchange By: Alexandria Bourke

O ur own beloved secretary, Heather Symons, had the pleasure of hosting one of the teachers from France. She revisits her experience to remind all of us how lucky we are to have opportunities that

broaden our horizons while brining us close together.On October 13, I said “hello” to a stranger; and on October 23, I hugged that friend good-bye. This past month, seventeen young students from Collège Reine-Marie near Avignon, France visited Quebec with their English language teacher Mme Françoise Garneau. The students were billeted with children from LTMHS’ secondary 3 French classes, and I had the pleasure of hosting Mme Garneau for 10 days. Although I approached my responsibility with some trepidation, (What would we talk about? Would she like our food? Would our customs be so different as to make her uncomfortable?) I quickly learned how adaptable strangers can be and how much pleasure our neighborhood has to offer. My original idea that the French from France are a somewhat withdrawn and reserved society has certainly changed. Françoise’s camera clicked constantly at houses decorated for Halloween, at our native maple trees dressed in their autumn splendor, at our ever present, ever hungry squirrels and at our business signs that are often a play on words.She tasted and claimed to enjoy any food that was offered. When I discovered her love of bagels, a “delicacy” not easily found in France, I gave up on worrying about eggs Benedict. A visit to a cabane à sucre was a huge hit. She made beans and ham, eggs and potatoes sound like a meal from the Ritz! And apparently my home-made poutine was “the best”. Who knew!When the group returned from day trips in and around Montreal, Françoise’s stories of their adventures piqued my interest and made me want to investigate those places. Her appreciation of our province, our country, our history and our culture has opened my eyes wider. It has made me prouder. Some things that I have taken for granted I am more aware of now.I got to know a woman with very similar hopes, dreams, challenges and joys as mine: someone who loves her family and her career, and who still thirsts for knowledge and new adventures. It is a small world after all.

The pumpkins are long gone and garlands, lights and decorations for Christmas are in evidence ! Just what we need on these short

dark days. The smells and sights of this time of year are magical and we can feel the excitement in the children.

The 14 week Stimulation Workshops ended on November 30th , but that does not mean that we won’t see our little friends until January 2012!

We will once again be par-ticipating in the annual Deux-Montagnes Santa Claus parade on Sunday December 4th, which is scheduled to start at 1:00. The weather has cooperated the last few years and the walkers actual-ly feel quite warm by the end of the route! Fingers crossed for this year; with a few sparkling flakes for ambiance!

On Wednesday December 7th, the Optimist Club in St.Eustache has once again invited our fam-ilies to go to their building for a Christmas lunch. This is a lot of fun, with the employees serving the meals and animating a few games. We anxiously await the arrival of a big friendly man who puts big smiles on the childrens faces.

Following that, we will be having appointments with the parents for the report cards. This is the perfect time for a quiet talk with the moms and dads to discuss our

observations during the session.

We are very proud of the work that we do, and the program that is used. We help children 3-5 years old with their fine and gross motor skills, language skills, autonomy and socialization. If you have, or know of a child who could benefit from our services, please call us for further informa-tion.

Have a wonderful Christmas or holiday season.

hOROsCOPeAries March 21-April 19__________________Start nothing before December 13. New (not old) money matters are stalled; the logjam will break Christmas Day onward. If purchasing

holiday presents, keep it simple and refundable, as lemons abound. VIPs, bosses and parents look on you kindly to December 20 – take advantage, approach, visit, do them favours, etc. (But DON’T launch new projects for them. If the boss wants you to begin a new project, diplomatically suggest a mid-December or January launch.) You impress everyone Sunday/Monday, but barriers to action remain: act Sunday eve/night. Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday.

Taurus April 20-May 20___________________The general accent lies on mysteries, sex, subconscious urges, finances, investments and debt, and potential lifestyle changes. You’re lucky in

these, though forward motion has been lacking since August. By late December delays will end – a legal, travel, educational, intellectual or international “ele-ment” will be the go-forward key. You might soon agree to wed a sexual partner. Think deeply before plunging. Make NO commitments, nor any new starts, before December 13. Lie low, rest Sunday/Monday. Your energy rises Tuesday through Thursday. Romance lies below, wants to emerge!

Gemini May 21-June 20___________________Relationships are foremost. Your popularity and joie de vivre rise Sunday/Monday. But avoid arguments or hasty driving to mid-

afternoon Sunday. Turn from a hard-to-convince person Monday. Retreat, rest Tuesday to Thursday. Sunday to Wednesday give a lucky boost to governmental, administrative and charity projects, and might also attract you to someone because he/she represents a rest, comfort, safety. But at what cost (to him/her!)? Your energy soars Thursday night to Saturday: contain temper. Until mid-2012, you’re quick to laugh, rage. Start nothing important before December 13.

Cancer June 21-July 22___________________The accent lies on work, health, duties, a bit of boredom. Start nothing major before December 13. A former duty, chore or employ-

ment position might return – do it, grab it if unemployed. VIPs, parents and bosses are watching Sunday/Monday – do you best, avoid temperamental words Sunday. Your hopes and happiness rise nicely Tuesday to Thursday – life’s worth living! The Sunday to Wednesday period opens doors to friendship, travel, even the kind of romance which, though light, could lead to partnership. Retreat to contemplate, rest and heal Thursday night through Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22______________________Start nothing major, relationship nor venture nor project, before December 13. Your creative and romantic juices stir this month,

you ride a winning streak (yes, you’ll tend to win at cards, etc.) and pleas-ures abound. An old flame is near or “present.” You might feel you have been tricked and betrayed or mistreated by others, especially the opposite sex, this last decade or two. But turn around: how have you treated those you suspected? When angered or ignored, you can be cruel. “Admitting” this can clear you for future love – which is going to be stronger, longer than past love.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22____________________Start nothing, buy nothing, before December 13. You might meet former neighbours, or visit family members you haven’t

seen in awhile. “Home,” whatever it means to you, is a powerful draw – especially Sunday/Monday. Though you shouldn’t buy or rent a new place (or furniture) a former abode or prospect might be a good thing. But don’t act before 3:30 p.m. Sunday. A gentle, mellow mood arrives Tuesday to Thursday. Despite your lower energy, Sunday to Wednesday offer meaningful romance, or a potent creative urge, especially if you’re in nature. Be ambitious, not forceful, late week.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22_____________________Start nothing new before December 13, especially in communica-tions, travel and record-keeping. A former friend appears, or you

travel to revisit a familiar place. Your home life is blessed; you could, if seeking, find a domicile where affection and beauty will prevail, especially Sunday to Wednesday. Let this be a place connected to the past. (These daysalso bring tantalizing, but secret or private, attractions. Be honest, moral.) Relationships irk you to mid-afternoon Sunday, then they turn successful. But if you offer little (Monday) you get little. Wisdom, Friday/Saturday.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21___________________Remember, start nothing big and new before December 13. In par-ticular, buy nothing – you are drawn straight to lemons now. Tackle

chores and health concerns Sunday (much better after 3:30 p.m. PST) and Monday. Relationships offer both opposition and concord Tuesday to Thursday. Concord is more likely – and far more beneficial – as this entire week offers friendship and good conversation – with a romantic tinge. A big, lucky “con-cord” looms on the horizon, late month into next June. Finances, sexual urges and deep health matters arise Friday (some difficulties) and Saturday (climaxes?).

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21________________Though your energy, charisma and clout are high, use them to tackle ongoing projects or to revive past ones – start nothing

new before December 13. You easily impress others, gain their favour and get your way. If you’re single and have been hankering for some special company, contact that ex or old flame – AFTER 3:30 p.m. PST Sunday (or, less successfully, Monday, or, for more “grown up” results, after 9 p.m. Friday, into Saturday). Higher-ups are temperamental and impatient all week (until next July!) but you win them over, might even land a raise Sunday to Wednesday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19_________________Avoid new starts before December 13. Get plenty of rest, eat and drink sensibly. Retreat from the hustle-bustle, avoid competition.

Tackle past-due obligations, especially those involving charity, institutions, the government, or head office(s). This is an excellent “clean-up and clear-out” phase to prepare you for powerful action later this month. Pay attention to home-related concerns Sunday/Monday. (Careful with tools, confrontations Sunday.) Romance, notional or real, visits Tuesday to Thursday – in fact the thrill of attraction fills the entire Sunday to Thursday period.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18__________________Start no new projects nor relationships before December 13, Aquarius. This is a happy, optimistic and forward-looking month,

but you’d do better to look to the past this week. A former flirtatious friend might arrive, or the door could fling open to a goal that was once just “wishful thinking.” Dream do come true! Careful with speech, driving Sunday – after 3:30 p.m. PST, all’s well. Tuesday to Thursday accents your home, security, family and real estate. A verboten romance could attract you. Actually, romance simmers all week, then emerges Friday (careful!) and Saturday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20__________________Be ambitious, show your skills to higher-ups, study business and career topics, but don’t start new projects or relationships before

December 13, Pisces. Money hits an irksome snag Sunday, but smoothes out late afternoon into Monday. Talk, travel, and casual meetings fill Tuesday to Thursday – and could turn enmity into an amorous bond. You have a choice now to next July – you can love, or hate. The former is more likely this week, from Sunday to Thursday. Collapse into the comforts of home or still beauties of nature Friday/Saturday. Don’t let stress cause a fight Friday.

Joke of the week!

AnsweRs On The C lAss i f i ed PAge

John and Jessica were on their way home from the bar one night and John got pulled over by the police. The officer told John that he was stopped because his tail light was burned out. John said, “I’m very sorry officer, I didn’t realize it was out, I’ll get it fixed right away.”Just then Jessica said, “I knew this would happen when I told you two days ago to get that light fixed.”So the officer asked for John’s license and after looking at it said, “Sir your license has expired.”And again John apologized and mentioned that he

didn’t realize that it had expired and would take care of it first thing in the morning.Jessica said, “I told you a week ago that the state sent you a letter telling you that your license had expired.”Well by this time, John is a bit upset with his wife contradicting him in front of the officer, and he said in a rather loud voice, “Jessica, shut your mouth!”The officer then leaned over toward Jessica and asked. “Does your husband always talk to you like that?”Jessica replied, “only when he’s drunk.” “Does your husband always talk to you like that?”“Does your husband always talk to you like that?”
