Il va sans dire, de multiples qualificatifs pourraient servir à décrire l’année qui s’achève, mais l’adjectif « facile » ne compte pas parmi eux. Grâce à la résolution, la résilience et la foi débordantes dont vous avez fait preuve collectivement et individuellement, vous avez réussi à atteindre un niveau d’efficacité sans précédent dans les opérations, et tout cela malgré des circonstances extrêmement pénibles. La Force aérienne du Canada subit une vaste modernisation qui lui permettra de continuer à fournir des services de la plus haute qualité, au pays et partout dans le monde. Au cours des dernières années, la 8e Escadre a joué un rôle de premier plan dans les efforts de modernisation, et j’ajouterai que les défis associés à l’intégration de nouvelles flottes nous Colonel Dave Cochrane offrent une excellente occasion de Commandant de l’Escadre devenir des chefs de file dans la 424 Squadron had only one call out this week which involved both the CC- capacité de nous adapter à des 130 Hercules and the CH-146 Griffon. situations de changement tout en Rescue 335 and Rescue 493 were tasked to go search for a crashed Piper poursuivant nos missions excluant aircraft close to Moosonee, Que. l’échec.

December 12 – December 18

Theme of the week: The weekend begins with a bang. Ready or not, whatever you are finally tired of will gratefully leave. Release is needed to welcome the fresh and new. The rest of the week involves events that sim- ply affirm our personal and powerful choices. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You acquire a new posi- tion. It has actually been a long time coming. While it seems to hold the promising attainment of authority, there is actually a lot more responsibility involved. You will adjust into your new role in no time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We can be motivated by different drives and desires, depending on the phase of our life. You are slowly stepping away from one chapter and into another. What used to inspire you no longer does. The changes will propel you in a new, exciting direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is nothing like the self-respect that achievement brings. Working hard towards a goal and seeing it through to accomplishment brings rewards that form the fabric of your being. You The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty know your priorities are right on. Your success matters. as the weekly sponsor of our feature, The Contact Comics. Don’t let detractors sway you. CANCER ( June 21-July 22): In “Committed”, Elizabeth Gilbert says women used to want someone to provide economic security. Now, it’s someone who inspires. That’s a lot to ask. Regardless of your gender, you’re asking a bit too much of another person. Ask instead what you are willing to give. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): When we are determined to change, we may be impatient with it. Slow and steady may win the race, but because the effects are not evi- dent, we risk losing our motivation. You’re connecting with your resolve now. Make sure you also connect with the vision you need to see it through. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are not being left out and opportunities are not passing you by. It’s just that you feel anxious that they are. Let it motivate you to work harder and push further, but don’t let feelings of insecurity bring you down. You have a lot to be hopeful for. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Friends are family you choose for yourself. The statement implies that we have no choice over our families, and it’s true. As much as you wish you could, you have to deal with family mem- bers disappointing you. Don’t take their attitudes per- sonally. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You care. That’s why you mentioned it. However, it seems to have pushed a button. You can’t control the others reaction, but you can be willing to patiently talk it out. Your relationship DuJour is changing. Honesty will allow it to grow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Money is such an emotional issue. On some level, we identify it with security and survival. Your livelihood is going through a shift. Don’t let it scare you. See this as an opportunity to do more of what you would truly like. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An anonymous exis- tence is increasingly unlikely for you, as you come to see you have something that needs to be shared. You have something to say but may be afraid of negative feed- back. Don’t worry about its reception. You know you’re thicker skinned than to let it concern you. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Contrary to an expressed belief, you are actually doing quite well. There is nothing about your present circumstance that you cannot feel completely grateful for. Yet, you feel decid- edly unsatisfied. Be patient and you will be returned to your usual appreciation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): While living in the moment is all fine and good, you are ready for the future. In fact, you are having a hard time waiting for it. You are convinced you are ready now. That may be so, but any impulsive moves are not likely to serve you best. Good things will come in due course. December 10, 2010 The Contact 17 Feature

The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Trenton McDonald’s as the weekly sponsor of our feature, The Contact Family feature.
