Get your scarecrow on

SCARECROW. Get your group together and create your best scarecrow for the

Wednesday Farmers’ Market Scarecrow Making Contest on Oct. 2. Submitted photo

The Kamloops Farmers’ Market

is presenting a scarecrow making

contest and invites the public to

participate!

Here’s how: Get into the spirit

of the fall make and an old-fash-

ioned scarecrow. The Scarecrow

Making Contest is open to any

school, youth organization/facil-

ity, neighbourhood group, fam-

ily, individual, business, or offi ce

group; in short, everyone!

To make it that much more en-

ticing, there is no entry fee to

submit your creation.

This is a great team building

event for groups, organizations,

youth groups, and children. Par-

ticipants are urged to be creative,

choosing a theme that represents

their business, club or organiza-

tion.

Make your scarecrow free-

standing or mounted on a stable

surface. A lawn chair or wagon

works great! Be sure to bring

all materials you need to display

scarecrow on location. You can

use any materials to make your

scarecrow. Leave valuable items

that are part of your scarecrow at

your own risk.

Get your group together to pre-

make your scarecrow, and deliver

it to the Farmers’ Market in the

400-block of Victoria Street be-

tween 8 and 9:30 a.m. on Wed.

Oct. 2.

Ensure that your name and day-

time phone number is included in

your display. Pick up your scare-

crow between 2 and 2:30 p.m.

Judging will take place at 1 p.m., and prizes will be awarded to the

winning submissions.

Here are some helpful hints for sourcing materials and ideas: The

Horse Barn for straw; thrift shops for old clothes, hats, and other

props; and do an internet search on how to make a scarecrow.

If possible, pre-register at the Wednesday’s Farmers’ Market informa-

tion table, by e-mail to Wednesdaymanager@kamloopsfarmersmarket.

com, or by contacting KCBIA, 250-372-3242 or www.kcbia.com.

Over the next couple of weeks

at Home Hardware outlets

across B.C. you can get a deal

on an LED bulb and a signed

copy of the book The Light

Bulb Games – all for just $10.

The Book and a Bulb tour by

David Clark-Wilson and High-

Net Energy hits Kamloops on

Fri. Sept. 27, as it makes a stop

at the Kamloops Home Hard-

ware, 1325 Josep Way, from 9

a.m. to 6 p.m.

The book’s central characters

are three types of replacement

bulbs currently on the market –

Inky (incandescent); Curly (com-

pact fl uorescents CFLs) and LED

Bright (LEDs). The three bulb

characters compete in a series of

competitions related to energy-

savings and friendliness to the

environment. In the book, ac-

tion hero LED Bright tackles the

competition and makes a com-

pelling case on how he can help

save the planet by cutting energy

costs for lighting by 90 per cent.

You can learn more about

LED Bright’s Battle of the

Bulbs from the author and dis-

cuss the dramatic planetary im-

pact if everyone removed their

incandescent and CFL light

bulbs and converted to LEDs.

“I’m looking forward to meet-

ing Home Hardware customers

and everyone interested in the

book and energy sustainability

for the next generation,” said

Clark-Wilson.

Say hello to RCMP Barbie.

Sporting a Mountie uniform,

wide-brimmed Stetson hat

and high-heeled Strathcona

boots, the red-haired beauty

has been fl ying off Cana-

dian store shelves.

While she was of-

fi cially introduced in

May, it wasn’t until the

RCMP Heritage Centre

tweeted about her on Mon-

day that a surge of buyers

started snatching up the

limited-edition $30 doll.

The RCMP says about 300

dolls were sold in one day,

mostly from their Heritage

Centre and their Mountie

Shop, which sells the dolls

online.

“It’s a bit crazy,” Bianca Mc-

Gregor, director of marketing for

the centre, said “We didn’t think it

would be this popular.

“It’s just fl attering that a brand

like Barbie would choose the

RCMP as an icon for Canada.”

The RCMP Barbie doesn’t com-

pletely conform to RCMP stan-

dards: her high heeled boots

wouldn’t make the cut, and

her long locks would be short-

er than shoulder-length or in

a bun or roll.

Offi cially named “Canada

Barbie,” the doll was pro-

duced by Barbie manufac-

turer Mattel in conjunc-

tion with the RCMP as

part of the Barbie Dolls

of the World collection.

Mattel manufactured 11,000

RCMP Barbies and claims it

has no intention of producing

more.

A portion of the proceeds from

sales are given to the RCMP,

which will donate the money

to at-risk youth programs.

For those looking to grab this

fair-haired beauty, she will con-

tinue to be sold through the

Mountie Shop, as well as in select

retail stores, including Target and

Loblaws.

HoroscopesSeptember 30 - October 6, 2013

New people that come into your life can have an out of the ordinary effect. Those already in your life may feel it is time some new direc-tions were taken. Their approach can seem more fl exible and easy going than the actual result they are looking for. You could fi nd yourself dealing with a battle of wills if you don’t want to agree.

What you presume someone else is conveying may not be what they mean at all. The only way you will get to the bottom of things is to look at the pattern that exists in the manner matters have de-veloped so far. You need to avoid getting yourself caught up in situ-ations that limit your freedom and ability to control your situation.

Benefi ts can come surprisingly through people who are in a posi-tion to have some infl uence. This could attract some jealousy so the least said about it the better. This is an excellent time to join a group or organisation for pleasure, even to take up a hobby. Any focus of late on your health should start to reap some benefi t.

New directions can be established with family members but this is more about you shedding responsibility rather than taking it on. This is also a good time for you to make changes in the home, even if you do meet with some stiff opposition. Your interest will be in streamlining things so that more time is available for pleasure.

You can gain greater knowledge so take advantage of any situation that opens up, which could teach you new things. Don’t be impa-tient about detail if it seems to present diffi culty to begin with. You may understand more than you realise. Over time it will all fall into place enabling you to make use of it in a well-structured way.

Now is the time to make changes when it comes to fi nance. This could involve a more up to date approach or taking advantage of technology. You need to be comfortable and clear minded about the decisions you make. Somebody else may not be taking an approach, which has the sort of practicality you tend to prefer.

This week brings the opportunity for you to generate new situa-tions on a personal level, especially with any matters where you have been dealing with rebellion of others. Where the solution lies is in the level of determination. They have to realise you will stand fi rm no matter what.

You will be mentally in tune though it may not encourage you to be in a rush or to push things too quickly. Whatever the future outcome is that you desire is best kept to yourself for now, especially if this involves something alternative or out of the ordinary. The eventual result will be more powerful because of present seclusion.

Things seem to be operating on two levels right now. What you really think needs to be kept to yourself if you want to see the establishment of your plans. Friends or involvement with a group of people that is more pleasure based will provide a much-needed escape. What you don’t like is the persistent need to be secretive at some level.

If there is anything you need to reorganise about yourself or the way you have been handling your life, now is the time to commit yourself to this. It can lead to the sense of a whole new lease of life that can lead to a huge level of personal transformation over many years to come. Others can help but it is mainly up to you.

Focus on what you can change in the long term for yourself. Re-lying on somebody else brings with it too many unknowns that can generate a sense of insecurity. Be sensible when it comes to money. Avoid long-term commitments if you have the slightest doubt about being able to manage them. There is a lot of promise.

You will be very in tune when it comes to visions of the future. Accomplishment of these things will not be without its challeng-es. This could come from new directions other people intend to develop or alternative measures they expect you to embrace. For this reason it is important that you are fi rm about your priorities.

Mommyisms

It has been a couple months since

we got our puppy/dog, Infi nity –

a 20-month-old male old beagle.

Our family seems to have ad-

justed nicely, and Infi nity is well

behaved, especially with our chil-

dren; he will sit and stay on com-

mand (for me), and knows that

Mama is boss. But, it seems that

there is a new power struggle for

the Alpha male in the house, much

to the chagrin of my husband.

Over the weeks, there has been

the occasional “accident” on the

fl oor. Infi nity even took to marking

his territory four times in our living

room when we left him alone one

afternoon – in the fi rst week. Over-

all, for me, Infi nity is well behaved.

My husband does not seem to

have the same experience.

Every night, when my husband

arrives home from work, Infi nity is

excited to see him, but he also takes

to peeing on the fl oor, or (possibly

by accident) on his leg. Alain is very

tired of these “golden showers.”

During the day, while my hus-

band is home with the dog and

kids, the dog has taken to mark-

ing his territory in the living room

once or twice – asserting that HE is

the Alpha male in the house. This

behaviour has not happened while

I have been home as Infi nity would

not dare defy the Alpha female!

This power struggle happens

only when I am not present. I

have not witnessed this, although,

I have cleaned up a couple “acci-

dents” on the carpet and wall.

For now, the males will duke it

out to assert their power of the

house. Although, they both for-

get there is one other male in the

house; Zachary has now been

thrown into the mix.

Alain, Zachary, and Infi nity takes

turns as the Alpha male – which

doesn’t always sit well with the

Alpha female of the house, espe-

cially when my seven-year-old

talks over me to command the

dog. (Sounds like my mom!)

The result, a few weeks later, is

that the Alpha male is, of course,

my husband . . . And Zachary and

Infi nity have stepped into line

(and bow), showing their respect

in a submissive behaviour. (Well,

Zachary doesn’t bow, and some-

times doesn’t show submissive re-

spect – still challenging the Alphas

– But, that’s a different column.)

The boys all seem to have found

their rhythm and harmony in the

house. But, now it’s time to show In-

fi nity who’s also in charge outside!

We don’t take too kindly to unsched-

uled jogs around the neighbourhood.

Alpha and Omega

BOWING TO THE ALPHA MALE. Alain and Infi nity have come to an agree-

ment as to who is the Alpha male in the family. Lizsa Bibeau photo

Rourke Chartier had two goals

and an assist to lead the Kelowna

Rockets to a 5-2 victory over the

Kamloops Blazers in their home

opener last Friday night. Defen-

seman Jordan Thomson had two

assists for the Blazers.

The Blazers got the game’s fi rst

goal only 3:31 into the period.

Joe Kornelsen opened the scor-

ing as Aaron Macklin and Thom-

son each picked up assists. The

Rockets replied scoring three

straight goals in the period Ri-

ley Stadel, Justin Kirkland and

Chartier made it 3-1 Rockets

through one period. The Rockets

outshot the Blazers 15-5 in the

fi rst period.

In the second, the Blazers settled

in and cut the lead to 3-2. Cole

Ully put home a rebound from a

shot by Thomson 5:06 into the

period. The Blazers had their

chance late in the period to tie it

up, Matt Needham was awarded

a penalty shot, but he rang his

shot off the post and wide to keep

it a 3-2 game headed into the

third period. The Blazers outshot

the Rockets 16-10 in the period.

The Rockets gave themselves

a cushion only 57 seconds into

the third period. A bad turnover

in the Blazers zone led to Nick

Merkley feeding Austin Glover

for a one-timer and a 4-2 lead.

The Blazers tried to muster up

a comeback but couldn’t as they

gave up an empty net goal and

fell 5-2 in their home opener to

the Kelowna Rockets.

Taran Kozun took the loss in goal

for the Blazers making 29 saves,

while Jordon Cooke earned the

win for the Rockets making 27

saves. The Rockets were 1-for-6

on the power play, while the Blaz-

ers fi nished 0-for-4.

Tyson Baillie had two goals and

two assists including one into an

empty net for a 5-2 win over the

Blazers for the second straight

night on Sat.Sept. 21.

The Blazers had a solid fi rst peri-

od despite the lopsided shot total

of 14-7 in favour of the Rockets.

Tim Bozon had the best chance

of the period going in alone on

Jordon Cooke but being denied

twice. Mitch Friesen also had a

break, but couldn’t beat Cooke.

The second period was no dif-

ferent as the Blazers had the

best chances early on. In the fi rst

minute, Tristan Sieben pounded

a rebound off the crossbar. Joe

Kornelsen got the Blazers on

scoreboard fi rst as Aspen Sterzer

charged to the net and Kornelsen

found the rebound to make it 1-0

Blazers. The Rockets replied

shortly later as the Blazers got

caught in the Rockets zone. Nick

Merkley eventually put home a

rebound to tie the game up. The

Blazers had a terrifi c chance

shortly after but Cooke robbed

Ully in front of the net. The

Rockets went back the other way

and got a bounce a Jesse Lees

high shot got knocked down right

onto the stick of Linakar for an

open net and a 2-1 lead through

two periods.

The Rockets came out ready

to play in the third period and

scored back to back power play

goals in the fi rst less than 30

seconds apart to make it a 4-1

lead only 3:13 in the period. The

Blazers fourth line went out there

and did its job as Mitch Friesen

took a shot on net and Mitch Li-

pon scored his fi rst WHL goal on

a rebound to cut the lead to 4-2.

The Rockets added an empty net

goal for a second straight night to

make it a 5-2 fi nal.

Bolton Pouliot made 37 saves

taking the loss in goal, while Jor-

don Cooke had the win with 24

saves.

The power plays were the dif-

ference in this one as the Rockets

capitalized going 2-for-5 while

the Blazers were 0-for-5.

The Blazers have two games in

Prince George this Friday and

Saturday night.

AROUND TOWN

One of the largest music festivals

to ever hit this province returns in

2014. Pemberton Music Festival

2014 is set for July 18 to 20. After

a fi ve-year hiatus, the three-day

contemporary music festival is re-

turning to Pemberton.

Artist lineup details have yet to

be announced but expect to see

a wide spectrum of rock, indie,

hip-hop, EDM, all anchored by

top-level headliners. Lineup an-

nouncements are expected to be

made beginning in January.

In 2008, more than 40,000 peo-

ple attended the festival’s inau-

gural year, which was headlined

by artists that included Coldplay,

Jay-Z, Nine Inch Nails, Dead-

mau5, Tom Petty, and the Flam-

ing Lips.

Huka Entertainment CEO A.J.

Niland said people can expect

big names to headline Pemberton

Music Festival 2014.

“Expect a world-class lineup,”

he said. “Expect it to be on cali-

bre with the previous event.”

The 2014 festival will run with a

maximum capacity of 40,000 peo-

ple and include space for 25,000

to camp on-site, as well as off-site

hotel lodging options, in collabo-

ration with traditional lodging

options in nearby Whistler. Non-

camping patrons will have access

to a variety of festival-supplied

transportation options, including

shuttles from Whistler.

The festival will run for fi ve

nights beginning Wed. July 16.

The plan for the fi rst couple eve-

nings is for a more relaxed vibe

that will let people set up camp

and prepare for the main event.

The festival will then offi cially

begin Fri. July 18. That will mark

the fi rst of three nights worth of

headliners and high-calibre en-

tertainment playing four stages

plus a fi fth in the campground.

A limited number of “Founder’s

Program” tickets go on sale Sept.

27 at 9 a.m. Those three-day gen-

eral admission tickets at $189

and include an amenities bundle

that’s only available to Founder’s

Program ticket buyers.

Brock Balson was the hero last

weekend, scoring four goals and

three assists on the weekend

He began in Princeton last Fri-

day night scoring twice and get-

ting two assists to lead the Storm

to a 5-4 win over the Posse.

The game got off to a lopsid-

ed start with Kamloops scoring

three unanswered goals in the

fi rst period.

Balson got the visitors on the

stat sheet fi rst with a goal at

11:53. Rourke O’Briain scored

their second goal at 10:59, then

Balson scored again – on the

power play – at 5:32 to give the

visiting team a 3-0 lead after the

fi rst period.

The second period saw a shift

and a spark.

Princeton got past Storm goalie

Nolan Munden to make it 3-1 at

13:05 of the middle frame. Princ-

eton’s second goal came with just

1:37 left on the clock.

The third period saw the home

team battle back and tie the game

at 3-3 at 13:41 then take a 4-3

lead at 7:37.

A butt-ending call against Princ-

eton’s Brayden Horcoff for four-

minutes at 6:11 gave Kamloops

the edge they needed to tie the

game at 4-4 at 5:36 with a power

play goal by Daniel Buchanan

then take the lead with a goal by

Luke Gordon at 4:49 on the same

power play.

With 1:15 left in the game, a

Princeton time out and pulling

goalie Harrison Whitlock for an

extra man was just not enough

for the home team to tie the

game, as Kamloops took the 5-4

win. Princeton outshot the Storm

40-30.

Saturday saw the Storm back in

their old stopping grounds as they

took on the Osoyoos Coyotes and

came out with a decisive 7-3 win.

Buchanan opened the scoring

just 3:10 into the fi rst period.

Less than three minutes later, the

Coyotes tied the game then took

a 2-1 lead less than two minutes

after that. Bobby Kashluba tied

the game for the Storm less than

two minutes later. The Coyotes

took the lead with a power play

goal with 4:31 remaining on the

clock before Balson scored – on

the power play – to tie the game

back up at the end of 20 minutes.

Josh Rasmussen scored the only

goal of the middle frame – on the

power play – to give Kamloops

a 4-3 lead after 40. Brett Watkin-

son scored 46 seconds into the

third period to give the Storm a

5-3 lead. Kashluba and Balson

put the game away with a goal

each in the last half of the period,

helping Kamloops to a 7-3 win.

The Storm outshot the Coyotes

46-34.

Sunday saw the Storm face off

against their division rivals, the

Chiefs, in Kelowna, come home

with a 5-4 win.

After a scoreless fi rst period, the

Chiefs opened the scoring 2:19 in

to the second period, but Gordon

tied the game less than four min-

utes later. Kelowna took the lead

halfway through the period but

Felix Larouche got that one back

for the Storm 3:10 later. Spencer

Schoech gave Kamloops the go-

ahead goal with 2:45 remaining in

the period for a 3-2 lead after 40.

Watkinson extended the Storm’s

lead 3:12 into the third period but

Kelowna answered back 2:13 lat-

er. The Chiefs tied it up 4-4 with

6:41 remaining in the period but

Ian Chrystal stopped the game

from going into OT with the win-

ning goal with just 47 seconds

left on the clock for a 5-4 win.

The Storm outshot the Chiefs 38-

31 on the night.

Kashluba leads the team in scor-

ing with fi ve goals and four as-

sists. He ranks sixth in the league

after the team’s fi rst fi ve games

on the season. Gordon is next

with three goals and six assists

while Balson has four goals and

four assists after playing four

games with the team.

The Storm are back in town

for a two-game home-stand this

weekend; they face off against

the North Okanagan Knights on

Fri. Sept. 27; then are up against

the Golden Rockets on Sat. Sept.

28. The puck drops at 7 p.m. both

nights at the Sports Centre.

Balson makes his presence known helping Storm to weekend wins


Sept.

Thomas the Tank, the little engine that could, will soon be chugging

away again in an Australian city after he was rescued from a suspected

drug den.

The small wooden train was a main attraction for kids at Goulburn,

New South Wales’ Historic Waterworks Museum, until it washed

away in fl ood waters three years ago.

At the time,the local council had launched a search campaign to fi nd

Thomas, but it was only three years later that police found the train in

a house they were searching for evidence of a drug lab.

Thomas didn’t seem too traumatized by his experience in the world

of drugs, perhaps because he’s a wooden toy. However, that didn’t

stop Goulburn police from releasing an animated statement about how

Thomas was doing when they found him.

“Thomas the Tank Engine is currently assisting Goulburn police with

their inquiries into his whereabouts for the past three years,” the state-

ment said.

“He is expected to make a full recovery and will receive a fresh coat

of paint by council staff at the depot before he rejoins his steam train

friends at the local Waterworks in a couple of weeks.”

Let’s hope Thomas stays away from any “puffi ng,” aside from his

steam engine.

Badger Baby and Badger Kids sunscreen recalled

Health Canada has recalled two children’s sunscreens due to con-

tamination with a trio of bacteria that can cause serious infections.

Badger Baby SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and Badger Kids SPF 30

Sunscreen Lotion are being recalled in Canada. Additional lots are

being recalled in the U.S., which Canadian travellers may have

purchased.

Manufacturer W.S. Badger Company Inc. says the microbes

found cause pneumonia, meningitis and infections of the blood,

bone, urinary tract and gastrointestinal system.

Those with weakened immune systems from such conditions as

cystic fi brosis, cancer or diabetes, or with burns or other skin con-

ditions, have a heightened risk of infection.

In healthy consumers, bacteria can enter the body through cuts

and burns and may cause skin and blood infections, as well as eye

and outer ear infections.

Parents who purchased affected lots of sunscreen should return

the product to the point of purchase.

The sunscreens were found to contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa,

Candida parapsilosis and Acremonium fungi, but no adverse reac-

tions from use of the products have been reported to Health Canada

or the company.

Badger Baby SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and Badger Kids SPF 30

Sunscreen Lotion were sold across Canada. Two importers have

been identifi ed: Purity Life Health Products in Acton, Ont., and

Christmas Natural in Burnaby, B.C.

The Canadian recall affects Badger Baby sunscreen lots 3057A

and 3132A and Badger Kids sunscreen lot 3164A.

The U.S. recall also includes “Baby” sunscreen lots 3024A,

3063A, 3063B, 3132A and 3133A.
