As many mommies will tell you,
there is seldom time for a mommy
to take time out for herself or have
any kind of treat. Two minutes in
the bathroom without little knuck-
les rapping on the door or screams
soaring from down the hallway is
like heaven, and usually one of
the fi rst “treats” we wish for. But
every mommy deserves some-
thing special for only herself –
and I’m not talking about the un-
conditional love (and kids’ treats
for mommy) – hugs ‘n’ kisses!
Occasionally, there have been
times when I’m able to lock my
bedroom door, open a secret bag
of gummy bears and shove a
handful of the succulent, juicy,
little bears into my mouth before
my little monsters come running
down the hall. But, Aubrielle is
very suspicious and can always
smell something when it’s amiss,
literally.
“Let me smell your mouth,” she
demands.
There is one special treat that
is strictly Mommy’s treat and the
kids know that it’s absolutely off
limits to them. It’s my Starbucks
latte. (Some of you mommies
would surely have guessed wine.)
A trip to Starbucks is a little piece
of sanity that I indulge in (rarely)
– and I absolutely refuse to buy
any kind of baked treats for the
kids while I’m there. (They get
their hands on everything. Star-
bucks is strictly mine – including
the pumpkin loaf!)
I talk about my “treats” of Star-
bucks, lattes, and coffee so often,
I have my kids drooling at the
thought and they are begging me
to taste my coffee. (OK, maybe
something went awry.)
Sometimes, I have tried to du-
plicate my own specialty coffee
drinks buying special syrups,
cocoa, peppermint squares, and
whipped cream. . . and they turn
out divine! My specialty coffees
have actually turned out to be a
favourite among my friends.
And even now, I crave the
warmth, the smell, and the silky,
sweet liquid fl owing down my
throat as I grasp the mug in my
hands – to tune out the craziness
of motherhood. It’s my little,
sanity “pill” and if my kids knew
better, they would not threaten to
take it from me!
“You said a bad word, Mommy!
You don’t get coffee!” – Aubrielle.
Take away my coffee, and I’ll
show you a bad word! HA!
HoroscopesMarch 10 - March 16, 2014
Whatever you had re-assessed about priorities & decided to move ahead with may have produced other situations that need to be con-sidered, making you realise that nothing was as simple as it seemed. You can feel at the mercy of others but you need to be careful that they don’t over-ride matters you consider have precedence.
What you need to commit to should now become more obvious as well as what is expected of you where others are concerned. You do have a choice. Being involved with a group of people will make things easier, mainly because there’ll be those who have respect for you. It can encourage others to open up more as well.
You’re in a good position to focus on the future in a logical man-ner. Giving consideration to all the smaller details is absolutely necessary as you can be tempted to take risks on impulse. The way to balance this out is to seriously look at the way any changes will alter daily routine. Be realistic about obligations attached.
Someone else won’t be too forthcoming with what they think & this can put you at odds with the action you need to take. You’ll feel restless about wanting to get things in place & easily annoyed when this doesn’t seem to happen; focus on what you can see & control for yourself.
Life can certainly be a lot more interesting for you where others are concerned, esp. the way they try to wriggle out of commit-ments you think are reasonable. It’s more about manoeuvring than it’s about openly expressing what your expectations are. That way you’ll see the games they’re prepared to play.
Conversation can fl ow easily with others & it won’t be diffi cult to discover their opinions. Whether you agree may be a different matter; give yourself time to go away & think about things with-out making your thoughts obvious. Once you’ve had enough time to do this, you could see other sides to the matter.
You see the benefi t of maintaining an optimistic attitude in your mind because it only seems logical that things eventually have to improve in time. The more patience you can muster, the better you’ll fare. You may need to fi nd ways of enjoying yourself with-out spending as much money as you normally do.
You can feel pleased with yourself, esp. where it’s been necessary to stand your ground. It’s likely produced better results than you’d hoped for. Not that the pressure will be fully released – there’s still a lot of planning on the best way to get a good foundation in place. You’ll fi nd inspiration’ll stimulate more ideas.
You’ve got things to plan with perhaps the need to gather further information. In the process you may either come across people you haven’t seen for a while or get in touch with those who’ve had connections in the past that’ll be useful to you now. Find time to yourself to put it all together.
It won’t be easy to sort out fi nancial matters involving others, mainly because they won’t want to fi t in with what you suggest. You may have been prepared to do these things in the past but fi nd it’s no longer suits the present – it’s something they have trouble accepting. There’ll be a solution but it’ll take some time yet.
Keep yourself & your own position in mind. You’ve had the chance to review things & now you have to be prepared to remain committed to what’s best for you. This’ll enable you to create a more balanced position on a personal level. The future has plenty of time to unfold.
You can gain a clear impression of how the past is likely to infl u-ence your long-term future. You’ll also know there’s a lot that can’t be fully seen right now. The main thing is to consider what you feel will be. Other people can have suggestions but they can be infl uenced by looking at matters more directly than you tend to do.

The Kamloops Blazers have
played seven straight road games
due to the Tim Hortons Brier
Canadian Men’s Curling Cham-
pionships taking over the Inte-
rior Savings Centre from March
1 to 9. The Blazers are 1-6-0-0
through their road trip.
The Hitmen scored three times
in the third period en route to
a 5-1 win over the Blazers in
Calgary, in a game that saw the
Blazers lose two veteran players,
last Friday night. Matt Bellerive
scored for the Blazers as the Hit-
men led 2-1 after two periods.
Brady Brassart had two goals for
the Hitmen and Bolton Pouliot
made 37 saves for the Blazers.
Pouliot was the starter in goal
for the Blazers and was stellar
in the fi rst period to keep the
game scoreless. He turned aside
16 shots from the Hitmen in the
period.
The second period didn’t start
well for the Blazers. Chase Sou-
to, who returned to the line-up
after missing eight games, was
unable to carry on for the second
period. The Hitmen opened the
scoring 31 seconds in to make
it 1-0 for the Hitmen. Soon af-
ter the goal, Sam Grist was lost
to the hockey club after getting
into a fi ght with Jaynen Rissling
of the Hitmen. The Blazers re-
sponded after the fi ght though as
Bellerive got one past goaltender
Mack Shields to tie the game up
at 1-1. The Hitmen broke the tie
late in the period on a one-timer
on the power play and carried a
2-1 lead into the third period.
The Blazers don’t have the depth
to keep up with quality teams and
the Hitmen poured it on in the
third period as they scored three
times en route to a 5-1 win over
the Blazers.
Pouliot had a busy night making
37 saves, while Shields was solid
for the Hitmen with 25 saves.
The Blazers fi nished 0-for-4 on
the power play, while the Hitmen
were 1-for-5.
The Tigers big line of Curtis
Valk, Curtis Sanford and Trevor
Cox combined for fi ve goals and
10 points in a 7-1 drubbing of
the Blazers in Medicine Hat last
Saturday in the Blazers’ seventh
straight road game.
The Blazers were down and out
early in this one as the Tigers
built up a 3-0 lead through one
period as the Blazers were out-
shot 16-7 in the fi rst period.
The Tigers just kept it coming
in the second period as they out-
shot the Blazers 13-9 and scored
twice to make it 5-0.
The Tigers added two more
goals in the period with both
coming on odd man rushes to
make it 7-0. The Blazers broke
Tigers’ goaltender Nick Schnei-
der’s shutout bid with 1:09 to
play as Matt Thomas fed Bel-
lerive for a one-timer that he
blasted in for his 17th goal of the
season as the Blazers fell 7-1 to
the Tigers.
Special teams did not play a fac-
tor in this one as the Tigers were
0-for-4 on the night and the Blaz-
ers fi nished 0-for-2.
After spending the last week and
a half in the USA and Alberta,
the Blazers have returned home
for a few days of practice, before
heading off on the road again for
a mid-week game against the
Giants in Vancouver, then two
games in Victoria on March 7
and 8 to conclude the long 10-
game road stretch.
Two fi nal home games will
be played on March 12 against
Kelowna and March 14 against
Prince George to close out the
season.

The Western Hockey League and the Kootenay Ice hockey club
today provided an update on Kootenay Ice player and Montreal Ca-
nadiens prospect Tim Bozon.

After a slow start to their fi rst
game of the playoffs, the Kam-
loops Storm came back to take
the series over 4 games-to 1 in the
best-of-seven series to advance to
the second round of the playoffs.
The Kamloops Storm redeemed
themselves in their second playoff
game against the Eagles in a 3-1
win over Sicamous at the Sports
Centre. The Storm scored once
in each period and were well on
their way to a decisive win before
the Eagles foiled Liam McLeod’s
shutout bid when they scored with
18 seconds on the clock. Luke
Gordon scored twice and Brock
Balson got a goal in the 3-1 win-
ning effort. The Storm outshot the
Eagles 36-18.
The best-of-seven series moved
to Sicamous for games 3 and 4
Friday and Saturday.
Fri. Feb. 28, saw the Storm
come away with a 5-2 win over
the Eagles. Gordon scored twice,
Balson scored once – an empty-
netter with 40 seconds left on the
clock – and got two assists, Felix
Larouche got a goal and a helper,
and Spencer Schoech rounded out
the scoring. McLeod stopped 28
of 30 shots he faced in the 5-2 win.
Sat. March 1 saw the Storm de-
feat the Eagles win an identical
5-2 score. Larouche scored twice
and got an assist, Bobby Kashuba
scored once and got three helpers
while Schoech and Ian Chrystal
each scored in the winning effort.
The series came back to Kam-
loops for the fi fth game Mon.
March 3,which saw the Storm
double up the Eagles 6-3 for the
win to take the best of seven se-
ries 4-1.
Chrystal scored twice while
Josh Rasmussen, Stefan Wood,
Schoech and Max James each
scored in the win.
The Storm now take on the 100
Mile House Wranglers in a best-
of-seven series after the Wran-
glers took the series 4-1 over the
Chase Heat. Games 1 and 2 will
be played at the Sports Centre

then shifts to 100 Mile House for
games 3 and 4 on March 11 and
12. Should additional games be
required, game 5 will be in Kam-
loops on March 14, game 6 in 100
Mile House March 15 and game 7
March 16 in Kamloops.
In the rest of the Okanagan/
Shuswap conference, it took all
seven games for the North Okana-
gan Knights to defeat the Sum-
merland Steam to advance to the
next round against the Osoyoos
Coyotes who swept the Kelowna
Chiefs 4-0 in fi rst round action.
Games begin March 7.
In division fi nals in the Koote-
nay conference, the Kimberley

March is Nutrition Month – the perfect time to think about the bene-
fi ts of eating healthy foods. Small changes can pay off big by reducing
your risk, and your family’s risk, for obesity, diabetes, heart disease,
and cancer.
The Nutrition Month theme is Simply Cook and Enjoy! – and it’s all
about getting back to the basics by cooking delicious meals at home.
Home-cooked meals are healthier, less expensive, and they can bring
the whole family together. Interior Health’s (IH) registered dietitians
offer some important reasons why home cooking is good for everyone.
Healthy cooking is easy. You don’t need to be a chef to prepare
healthy meals when you have the right foods and recipes on hand.
“People who cook meals from scratch eat more fruits, vegetables,
and whole grains,” said Jill Worboys, Registered Dietitian. “Cook-
ing from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated; basic cooking skills
combined with a few tasty ideas are all you need to make healthy and
delicious meals at home.”
Need some help to get started? The Nutrition Month website (www.
nutritionmonth.ca) has some simple and delicious recipes.
Home cooking is budget-friendly. Eating at restaurants can be expen-
sive. Cooking meals at home helps save money for other important
things.
“Delicious and nutritious foods can be easy on the pocketbook. There
are many ways you can save money when cooking at home,” said
Worboys. “Planning meals ahead of time helps you make the most of
the ingredients you buy and reduces waste.”
For more great tips on how healthy cooking can be budget friendly,
visit the HealthLink BC website (http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthy-
eating/everyone/budget-eating.html).
Cooking can be a family affair. Getting the entire family involved in
cooking, especially children, teaches important life skills and healthy
eating habits.
“Children who get their hands on food and help prepare meals are
more willing to try new foods and are more likely to eat with their fami-
lies,” added Worboys. “Children benefi t in many ways when families
eat together. They perform better at school, develop a deeper sense of
belonging and security, and are less likely to smoke and use drugs.”
The 2014 Nutrition Month Campaign is dedicated to serving up
practical advice. For more nutrition information visit the Dietitians of
Canada website (http://www.dietitians.ca/Your-Health/Nutrition-A-Z/
Nutrition-Month.aspx) or you can speak with a registered dietitian at
HealthLink BC by calling 8-1-1.
City of Kamloopsacquires former Kamloops
Daily News property The City of Kamloops has announced it will acquire the former
Kamloops Daily News building and parking lot at 393 Seymour St.
for future development of downtown parking infrastructure.
The cost of the transaction, which is expected to be complete at
the end August this year, is $4.8 million, will be funded by parking
revenues and reserves earmarked for parking infrastructure.
In the short-term, there will be no visual changes to the site, but the
City will begin considering design concepts for future development.
“The Daily News site was an initial respondent to the Downtown
Parking Expression of Interest and with the closure of their operation
we have the opportunity to acquire the entire site,” related Mayor
Peter Milobar. “The central location makes it an excellent spot to add
more parking to downtown.”
Buchanan receives two divisional awards
The KIJHL handed out its divisional awards last week for the 2013-
2014 season, and a Kamloops Storm player came away with two hon-
ours in the Doug Birks division.
Daniel Buchanan received the nod as the Top Defenseman and the
Most Valuable Player.
The Chase Heat’s Kaleb Boyle was Top Scorer while Kris Joyce of
the Sicamous Eagles was named Top Goaltender.
The 100 Mile House Wranglers had three players receiving hard-
ware: Lane Van De Wetering as Most Sportsmanlike; Luke Santero
as Rookie of the Year, while Doug Rogers got the nod as Coach of
the Year.
