For young children Halloween is one of the

most exciting days in the year. Costumes are

selected, friends arranged and neighbour-

hoods often picked out well in advance. As

they go about their trick or treating, basic

safety tips are often overlooked.

Here are a few tips to keep youngsters safe.

CHILDREN:• Halloween is more fun when shared with

friends, never go alone.

• Can you see? Are you being seen? Wear re-

fl ective, bright coloured costumes and avoid

masks that restrict your vision.

• Only trick-or-treat at houses with lights

turned on.

• Never eat treats until an adult has inspected

them.

• Don’t criss-cross streets or run out from be-

tween parked vehicles.

• Walk on sides of roads or sidewalks and

when approaching homes, be respectful by

not cutting across lawns.

MOTORISTS:

• Slow, slow, slow, expect kids to pop out at

any time.

• Be prepared to react and stay alert

HOMEOWNERS:• If you are participating in Halloween, keep

your lights on and porch or walkway clear of

debris and potential items easily tripped on.

Advance polls open for performing arts centre and parkade

Advanced voting has begun in the City of

Kamloops referendum on the proposed per-

forming arts centre project. Voters are being

asked whether or not the city should borrow

up to $49 million to build the arts centre

and parkade slated for the former Kamloops

Daily News property at Fourth Avenue and

Seymour Street.

The centre, which would include a 1,200 seat

main theatre, a 350-seat black box theatre, and

a two-level parkade, would cost $90 million.

Three separate groups have launched cam-

paigns - two in support and one opposition

campaign.

Turnout was steady on the fi rst day of the

advanced poll, Wed. Oct. 28, at Heritage

House; a second day of advanced voting will

be held Mon. Nov. 2.

The general voting day is Sat. Nov. 7, at 16

voting places throughout the city.

In order to vote you need to be either a resi-

dent or property owner in Kamloops. Bring

two pieces of ID proving that’s the case when

you come out to vote.

Circle all the words hidden in

spell an activity played on

Halloween.

During the month of November,

we celebrate Movember when men

are challenged to grow a mous-

tache to spark conversation and

raise vital funds for prostate can-

cer, testicular cancer, poor mental

health and physical inactivity.

While growing a moustache and

encouraging donations is an ob-

vious way to support the cause,

Movember is also an opportu-

nity to start up a conversation

about men’s health concerns with

friends – perhaps over a beer. In

fact, the idea for the movement

sprouted over a few beers among

friends in Melbourne, Australia

back in 2003.

“Raising awareness for men’s

health is crucial in our goal of hav-

ing men live happier, healthier and

longer lives,” said Claire Lamont,

country director for Movember

Canada. “Encouraging a conver-

sation among men about some-

times sensitive health subjects, is

one of the reasons we’re so happy

to welcome back Rickard’s Red as

our offi cial beer partner.

“We know that the conversations

during Movember help to save

lives, as last year 76 per cent of our

participants say that they were more

aware of the health issues they

faced than they were previously.”

“Rickard’s is so pleased to sup-

port Movember again in 2015

and we’re helping guys get in

the spirit with moustache themed

cans of Rickard’s Red,” said Eric

Goulet, of Rickard’s. “Sharing a

relaxed beer with friends can cre-

ate an environment that makes

it easier for guys to have those

tougher conversations about their

health, which they might not feel

comfortable having otherwise.”

Say cheers to men’s health this Movember


HoroscopesNovember 2 - November 8, 2015

You may need the help of somebody else to get the detail right or bring something together for you. If you’ve been attempting to come to a fi nal arrangement, it should go ahead now. You have less choice in the situation but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it. Go with the fl ow & see what takes shape.

Communication will step up with others – it may mean you’ll become rather busy. This can include some enjoyable social ac-tivity or perhaps a break or holiday. Anything you haven’t been able to feel clear about or has been changeable since late Aug., will settle. Any ongoing health issues may improve as well.

The time has come to get something into order or pay greater attention to detail – it’s necessary to Nov. 21. It may be a bit of a shock to the system, esp. if you’ve let things slide during the last 2 months. The good side is that you may have a revelation as to the best way to handle some sort of obligation.

You should have now reached a point of being more settled of mind about the things that needed to be put into place since late Aug. It can give a sense of being able to get on & enjoy things more. Communicating ideas should come together as well. Hold back with too much information – it may be confusing.

This is your time of the year to cut out the unnecessary. You can be rather deadly with these decisions up to Nov. 21, esp. when it comes to simplifying things on a daily basis. Someone else may try to tune into or infl uence the way you want to structure things. It won’t be diffi cult for you to ignore this if necessary.

You’ll feel as though things are coming together when it comes to your own position or what can affect you personally. Clear-cut decisions can be made without that feeling of being in limbo that has been the case since late Aug. Have confi dence in your own ideas because someone else’s may lack reality.

There’s been a lot to think & rethink about since late Aug. when it comes to matters that involve or affect you personally. You’re now moving onto the next stage, to Nov. 21, that may require you to focus on the fi nancial side. There are still matters that haven’t been fi nalised & have an unknown element to them.

Mercury, the planet of communication has moved into your sign where it will stay ‘til Nov. 21. It’s held you back, one way or another since late Aug. Now you’ll get clarity & quite swiftly, allowing you to make the decisions you’ve likely been wonder-ing about when it comes to you & your own situation.

There’s something you need to weigh up when it comes to the pleasurable side of life & your priorities – you may discover this week that there’s little balance between the 2. It’s time to with-draw to some degree & refl ect. Bear in mind there’ll be no quick means of escape from obligations for the next 2 years

As a result of pressures you’ve had to focus on since late Aug., you’ll now come to a point of deciding what you need to alter or drop. Sort out what needs to be your main priorities in life, based on what you want to develop in the long term. There’s no point persisting with situations that hold you back.

Someone else may decide there are certain things that cramp their style but rather than deal with this themselves, they may expect you to take responsibility somehow. They’ll take more than what they’ll give. Resist in no uncertain terms. Be subtle while maintaining underlying determination.

Some sort of togetherness can take place between you & some-one else. This may happen because you feel you have little choice in a way. It may not alter any tension that exists between what they want from you & what you plan for the future. Your vision of how things are possible can become much clearer to Nov. 21.

seconds left in the third period as

the Kamloops Blazers beat the

Victoria Royals last Wednesday

night.

scoring 3:34 into the fi rst pe-

riod. He intercepted a clearing

attempt, turned, and scored his

Dante Hannoun gave the Roy-

glove of Connor Ingram to give

the Royals a 2-1 lead.

The second period was sloppy at

times with icings and off-sides in

the fi rst 10 minutes.

Dallas Valentine’s dump in

broke a pane of glass in the of-

fensive zone with 9:17 remaining

in the period as a 15-minute de-

lay occurred.

After the delay, the Blazers

had more life and would tie the

game up. Gage Quinney batted a

puck out of the air and it hit Matt

Needham on the way past goal-

tender Coleman Vollrath to tie

the game at 2-2.

The game remained locked at

2-2 into the third period. Each

Calgary Hitmen last Friday night.

The Hitmen scored fi rst on

a turnover in the Blazers end.

Layne Bensmiller went to the

backend and beat goaltender

Dylan Ferguson on the blocker

side to make it 1-0 Hitmen.

There was not a lot of scoring

chances in the fi rst period as the

Blazers outshot the Hitmen 8-4.

In the second period, the Blaz-

ers carried the play but a turnover

was costly. The Hitmen jumped

on a loose puck and Beck Malen-

styn scored on his own rebound

to make it 2-0 Hitmen.

The next goal was important,

and the Hitmen got it 5:21 into

the third period. Jordy Stallard

fi nished off an odd man rush to

make it 3-0 Hitmen.

The Blazers got themselves on

the scoreboard with 8:34 to play

on a rush. Dawson Davidson’s

pass was defl ected in by Jesse

Zaharichuk, who went hard to the

net, to cut the lead to 3-1.

Jake Kryski cut the lead to 3-2

as he scored on the power play,

fi nishing off a rebound with 5:22

to play.

with the goaltender pulled and

the Hitmen scored to make it a

4-2 fi nal.

Ferguson made 18 saves in

stopped 23 of 25 shots. The Blaz-

goal as he made 13 saves, stop-

ping Brad Morrison and Jesse

Gabrielle on a couple of great

chances.

The Blazers built on their lead

as Matthew Campese slid home

a rebound off a shot from Ondrej

Vala to make it 2-0 Blazers mid-

way through the fi rst period.

Needham made it 3-0 on a ter-

rifi c effort. He drove hard to the

net and put a puck underneath

Edmonds as the Blazers took the

3-0 lead into the second period.

After the fi rst period, the Cou-

gars made a goaltender change

as Edmonds was pulled for Mack

Shields.

The Cougars tried to strike back

in the second period and fi nally

scored after a few chances on the

power play.

Ingram made two great saves,

but Jared Bethune scored on the

third chance to cut the Blazers

lead to 3-1 with 11:18 left in the

second period.

tender Shields high to the blocker

KAMLOOPS, B.C. V2B 1M4


The KIJHL Kamloops Storm

have hit a two-game losing slump

after a pair of identical scored

games last weekend.

The Storm faced off against

Osoyoos at the Sports Centre,

and fell the Coyotes 4-1. After

a scoreless fi rst period, the Coy-

otes got on the scoreboard 4:02

into the second frame for an early

1-0 lead. They made it 2-0 just

1:16 later to take the lead into the

second intermission break. The

Coyotes scored again 4:45 into

the third period to make it 3-0.

Less than nine minutes later they

made it 4-0 Coyotes. Tre Sales

got the lone Storm goal with 63

seconds left on the clock to spoil

the Coyotes’ shut-out bid, mak-

ing it a 4-1 Coyotes win.

The Storm hosted the 100 Mile

House Wranglers the following

night with identical results.

After a scoreless fi rst period,

the Wranglers opened the scor-

ing 6:08 into the second period

then 5:44 later, the Wranglers

scored again to give 100 Mile

House a 2-0 lead going into the

dressing room after 40 minutes

of play. Wilson Northey got the

only Storm goal of the game 4:53

into the third frame. The Wran-

glers answered back 10 minutes

later to make it 3-1. The Blazers

pulled goaltender Spencer Es-

chyschyn for the extra attacker

with two minutes remaining in

the game, but it was the Wran-

glers that capitalised with an

empty-net goal with 1:46 left on

the clock to take the 4-1 win over

the Storm.

The Storm lead the Doug Birks

division of the Okanagan/Shus-

wap conference with a 12-3-0-0-

1 record for 25 points. The Wran-

glers sit in second spot just four

points behind the Storm with

21 points while the Chase Heat

are six points behind the Storm

with 19 points. The Revelstoke

Grizzlies sit in fourth spot with

10 points – 15 points behind the

division-leading Storm while the

Sicamous Eagles are in the base-

ment 17 points behind the Storm

with just eight points.

Next up for the Storm is a pair

of home games against a pair

of Kootenay conference Eddie

Mountain division teams. First

up are the third-place Fernie

Ghostriders on Fri. Oct. 30, then

the second place Creston Val-

ley Thunder Cats on Halloween

night. The puck drops at 7 p.m.

both nights.

Storm suffer pair of 4-1 losses
