TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)

Look at anything you have decided to work on putting in place since early November as a first stage, especially if it involves others in some way. You could now find they will be changing their mind up to mid December, which could be annoying. You might need to take a more serious look at how their desires might clash with your

LEO (July 23-August 22)

Don’thesitatetoengageinanynew social activities that might come your way. You could actually come across people you have not seen in a long time. The experience could be mixed in that there are things you enjoy but some sort of tension might be present as well, mainly because you are not on the same wave length. Challenging their opinions

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

It might be time to change your mind about some of things you normally spend money on this time of the year, especially if this is expected of you. If it means it will put you under pressure when it comes to necessary obligations then you should not hesitate to make a change. Important financial decisions should be left until after the 8th January.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

Any new people entering your life could be interesting especially if there is some sort of authority or responsibility involved on either your part or theirs. Any discussions you think are or have been straightforward with others where agreement is concerned may not stay that way because of them changing their mind to mid December.

VIRGO

(August 23-Sept.22)

Taking a new direction with something you have been thinking of putting in place could correspond with needing to change your mind. This could involve home and family matters because of pressure coming from somebody else. See how things develop to mid December. After that you will be able to make decisions you can move

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

New priorities can begin to take shape that will likely be tied to either what you can afford financially or how you need to be more practical with your finances and what you spend. Contact with people you have not seen in a while could take place up to mid December – this could be planned or unplanned. You could find others rather insistent with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)

The New Moon occurs in your own sign this week which can open up new opportunities to you on a personal level. New adventures can be in early developmental stages when it comes to your long term future. Pay attention to ideas or conversations but leave any final decision making until after 16th December when matters can

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

There is no escaping certain obligations but you could find a new way of dealing with them. Review past efforts – what has worked and what hasn’t up to mid December. Then be determined to get a regular routine in place that you can handle daily up to early January. Short, regular bursts can be more effective than trying longer

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

This is a good time to take a new approach when it comes to usual routines for establishing more stable goals in the long term. You could change your mind, up to mid December, about some things that have seemed important. After that, the right answers can emerge to early January. This could include your general well being amongst other

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

If might be best to let things slide to mid December if what you were planning becomes too much of a challenge and no longer fits in with your own priorities. This could also be part of you having to bring a better balance when it comes to what needs to be put in place for the future. It can be more about letting go than taking on more.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan.19)

What must be done to generate better balance with everyday activities which can include your health and general well being will be tied into bringing something to an end. This might be bad habits you have gotten into but could also be tied to the expectations others have of you. Reflect on this to mid December. After that you should

ARIES (March 21-April 20)

New opportunities could open up for the future, which seem rather lucky. Bringing this about may not be as straightforward as you expect either because of hold-ups or the fact that the details have not been completely sorted. It is possible you could change your mind about it by mid December or this will be when a clearer idea emerges.

PG Mountie earns top Alexa’s Award in B.C.

Prince George

2024-12-11 10:44 PST

For ten years, Constable Keith McCreadie has been earing Alexa’s Awards in Prince George, taking hundreds of impaired drivers off of our streets in that time.

In 2022, Constable McCreadie tied for the top award with another B.C. police officer, each having completed 115 successful impaired driving investigations, meaning 115 impaired drivers were removed from our streets.

For 2023, Constable McCreadie has the sole honour of earning the top Alexa’s Award, having removed 152 impaired drivers from our streets. Alexa’s Awards are given to B.C. police officers who have removed a minimum of twelve impaired drivers from the road, either by Immediate Roadside Prohibition or Criminal Code Investigation, for impairment by either alcohol or drugs.

Click here for a larger photo of Constable McCreadie holding his 2023 Alexa’s Award.

I started focusing on impaired driving investigations after losing a friend when they were struck by an impaired driver. After attending my first Alexa’s Award ceremony, and hearing Laurel Middelaer speak, I knew this would be a focus for my career, states Constable McCreadie.

The Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) program was launched in 2010, after a tragic car crash involving an impaired driver killed four-year-old Alexa Middelaer as she was petting horses roadside with her aunt. Since it’s inception, the IRP program has seen over 200,000 prohibitions served and a 50% reduction in alcohol-related fatalities.

Award seen as issued to Constable Keith McCreadie, whose preferred language is English.

We are pleased to have such a dedicated police officer serving in our detachment. Constable McCreadie demonstrates the RCMP Core Value of Serving with Excellence and he continues to set an example for our junior members with his dedication, states Superintendent Darin Rappel, Officer in Charge of the Prince George RCMP.

Constable McCreadie was presented with his award just

ahead of National Impaired Driving Day and the Light up the Night Campaign on December 7, 2024, which saw more than 200 impaired drivers removed from the road provincially this year.
