Tens of thousands of people who worked for Elections Canada dur-
ing last month’s federal election are still waiting to get paid.
Despite being told by Elections Canada that they would be paid by
Nov. 2, those people that worked during the election and at advanced
polling stations are still waiting to be paid.
More than 230,000 employees worked for Elections Canada during
the election – many of whom are seniors or low-income earners – are
relying on a paycheque from the agency.
When one worker who requested to remain anonymous called she
called Elections Canada for an update, she was told there wasn’t
enough money to pay everyone.
On its website, Elections Canada says it has added extra shifts in
the evenings and on weekends to process the payments as quickly as
possible.
“Given the high volume of fi nancial transactions that must be pro-
cessed, we ask (workers) for their patience,” the government agency
stated.
Payments are being rolled out according to workers’ roles during the
election.
Offi ce staff will get paid three weeks after election day – about a
week from now.
Election workers at advanced polls or on election day will have to
wait four to six weeks after election day.
Those that were recruited late in the game will have to wait as long
as two months.
The federal election was held Oct. 19.

HoroscopesNovember 9 - November 15, 2015
Others will start to become more willing to involve themselves ‘til early Dec. This can include social activity, which should be very pleasant. Even so, it’ll be more about what they’re willing to do. This can give you a sense of not having things fully under your control, through to next year.
New directions can develop that will seem lucky or from which you can benefi t in situations involving others. Even so, there can be an element of not being quite sure of exactly where you stand or their level of appreciation towards you up to early Dec. So, keep up good levels of communication.
Something may start to turn out to be a lot more work than what you expected. There’s the opportunity to take a new direction with it but don’t waste time in making these alterations. Someone may be able to give you some practical advice that’ll make some-thing easier. You should be happy with the outcome.
Take advantage of any new opportunity for social activity that may arise. There may be much to learn that’ll prove advanta-geous but be careful about getting involved in gossip. Getting something in place in a more peaceful or balanced manner can take shape from now to early Dec., esp. at home.
Get on with anything you’ve wanted to change at home or with a family situation – luck is with you. Maintaining determination can be the secret to success. Life can get very busy to the end of the year. Get into the habit of weighing things up before you jump in. That way you can enjoy them rather than it becoming a chore.
You can come up with some new ideas that can be of benefi t per-sonally – that’s what you should be aiming for. The need to focus on your fi nances will begin to take shape. If you start out with a practical approach this week it may hold you in good stead for the rest of the year. Be confi dant about what you believe is best.
This week, to Dec. 5, will bring more peace & balance to life, making you feel more yourself. Mars also moves in, creating the beginning of a new 2-year cycle while generating greater energy, giving you fi ght & lifting your self confi dence level.
This week generates the opportunity to create new beginnings for yourself. Wishes can come true but to do this successfully, be certain about what has to take priority. There’s no need to rush anything. Finding time away from hustle & bustle to think will prove rewarding.
Any new direction you want to take or new plans you eventu-ally want to put in place would be better kept to yourself for now. There are those who’ll work behind your back, so don’t give them ammunition. Focus on obligations you need to deal with. You can balance your priorities accordingly to early Dec.
It may be time to look at your priorities in a different light or es-tablish some new ones. This may also mean changes of direction with a friendship. Only take on obligations to early Dec. you’re happy to accept, mainly because they won’t interfere with time you need to yourself. It’s the only way to be happy.
You can begin to escape the overwhelming pressure you’ve been experiencing from others of late. It can give you a new view of commitments. Taking a balanced approach to the future, while at the same time being sensible about what needs to be managed, is possible to early Dec. Curb any impatience to move swiftly.
You can begin to have a new view of the future as a result of what’s taken shape with others over the last few weeks. You may fi nd someone else will retreat in some way up to early next year. Be mindful of how this may affect any responsibilities you have. Face reality rather than hoping to escape it.

The Kamloops Storm broke
their three-game losing skid –
one of which was earlier this
weekend – with a 3-0 shut-out
win over the Creston Valley
Thunder Cats on Halloween
night in KIJHL action.
Fri. Oct. 30, saw the Storm go
down 2-1 to the Fernie Ghostrid-
ers at the Sports Centre.
Patrick Nicholson opened the
scoring with the Storm’s only
goal of the game 12:02 into the
fi rst frame. To give the home
team their only lead of the night.
After a scoreless second period,
the Ghostriders came out in the
third frame ready to play, tying
the game just 25 seconds into the
period. Fernie got the go-ahead
goal 6: 21 later. The Storm play-
ers’ frustration rose to the surface
as Tre Sales and Kole Comin
were both penalised – along
with the Ghostriders’ Tayler
Sincennes for roughing after the
whistle. The Storm pulled goal-
tender Tavin Grant with 1:32 re-
maining in the game for the extra
attacker, but it came for naught.
What did come about was a scuf-
fl e around the Ghostriders’ net
with 1:18 remaining in the game,
resulting in penalties to six dif-
ferent players – four to the Storm
and two to the Ghostriders. Brett
Watkinson got two minutes for
goaltender interference, Dallas
Otto and Matthew Reyes each
got two for roughing after the
whistle while Andre Piquette re-
ceived a 10-minute misconduct.
Over in the Fernie penalty box,
Alex Cheveldave sat out two
minutes for cross-checking while
Jeff Orser was off for roughing.
The Ghostriders came away with
the 2-1 win over the Storm.
Halloween night saw the Storm
get all the treats shutting out the
Creston Valley Thunder cats 3-0.
Wilson Northey opened the scor-
ing 7:55 into the fi rst period for
a 1-0 lead. Sales scored less than
fi ve minutes later to make it 2-0
Storm after the fi rst period. Af-
ter a scoreless middle frame that
saw the ‘Cats outshoot the Storm
16-10, Levi Johnson made it 3-0
Storm 6:41 into the period. What
resulted after the Storm’s third
goal was a rough, hard-hitting
period that resulted in a pair of
match penalties for roughing
then an all-out fi ght between the
Storm’s Sol Seibel and Thunder
Cats’ James Severs. When the
dust settled, each player received
fi ve for fi ghting and a game mis-
conduct.
The Storm out-shot the Thun-
der Cats 43-32 in the game. Ta-
vin Grant stopped all 32 shots he
faced for the shut out win.
The Storm will be in Kelowna
Sat. Nov. 7, to take on the Chiefs.
On Wed. Nov. 11, the Storm are

The Kamloops Blazers had
seven different goal scorers in a
7-3 win over the Lethbridge Hur-
ricanes last Friday night.
Jesse Zaharichuk opened the
scoring 33 seconds into the game.
He made a great move in the de-
fensive zone to create a 2-on-1.
He kept the puck and roofed it for
his fourth goal of the season.
The Hurricanes tied it up on the
power play as Giorgio Estephan’s
second attempt beat goaltender
Connor Ingram to make it 1-1.
The Blazers poured it on from
there as they got goals from
Quinn Benjafi eld, Matt Revel
and Garrett Pilon to make it 4-1
for the Blazers.
The ‘Canes added a goal late in
the period as the Blazers led 4-2
after the fi rst period.
Collin Shirley made it 5-2 only
1:29 into the second period. He
took a pass from Matt Revel and
scored his seventh goal of the
season.
Nick Chyzowski made it 6-2 on
the power play, and Gage Quin-
ney tipped home a puck to give
the Blazers a 7-2 lead through
two periods.
In the third period, the ‘Canes
got a goal back to make it a 7-3
fi nal.
The Blazers outshot the Hurri-
canes 38-21 on the night.
The Blazers had seven different
goal scorers as Quinney, Revel
and Shirley all had three point
nights.
Connor Ingram made 18 saves
on 21 shots for the win. Stuart
Skinner played just over 24 min-
utes and stopped 18 of 24 shots.
Jayden Sittler came on to turn
aside 13 of 14 shots.
The Blazers trailed 4-0 early in
the second period, but scored fi ve
unanswered goals to come back
to beat the Spokane Chiefs 5-4 on
home ice Tuesday night.
The fi rst period could be best
described as a chess match. There
were few chances, as both teams
were holding on to pucks rather
than turning over pucks.
The Chiefs got on the score-
board on a turnover 15:40 into
the fi rst period. Dominic Zwerg-
er fi nished off a 3-on-2 rush on
a rebound to make it 1-0 Chiefs
through one period.
In the second period, the Chiefs
looked strong early and it showed
on the scoreboard.
Adam Helewka showed a ton of
patience on a rush and outwaited
goaltender Ingram before scoring
his third goal of the season into
an open net.
Former Blazers forward Luke
Harrison tied the game up as he
tipped home a shot from Jason
Fram to make it 3-0 Chiefs.
Zwerger made it 4-0 on anoth-
er play off the rush. The Chiefs
looked like they were in full con-
trol with a 4-0 lead 25:39 into the
game.
The Blazers countered with
a goaltending change after the
fourth goal as Ingram was pulled
after stopping 12 of 16 shots and
Dylan Ferguson came in net.
At the other end, the Chiefs
were forced to put in Matt Ber-
lin as starter Tyson Verhelst was
clipped by his own player and
could not fi nish the game.
Nick Chyzowski put the Blazers
on the scoreboard with 6:21 left
in the second period. He fi nished
off a rebound for his fi fth goal of
the season.
Matt Needham made it 4-2 as he
went to the net hard and fi nished
off a pass from Garrett Pilon.
The Chiefs still had a healthy
4-2 lead through two periods.
The Blazers made it 4-3 on the
power play only 23 seconds into
the third period. A terrifi c tic-tac-
toe play that started with Deven
Sideroff to Needham and fi n-
ished with a Quinney one-timer
made it 4-3.
Ryan Rehill then tied the game
up shortly after Quinney’s goal
on a blast from the point to make
it 4-4.
The Blazers had all kinds of
pressure in the third period and
outshot the Chiefs 10-4, but the
game went to overtime.
The Blazers started overtime
with a power play but could not
convert.
Shirley scored the overtime
winner 1:42 into the extra frame.
He fi nished off a 3-on-2 rush to
give the Blazers a 5-4 victory.
The Blazers fi nished their fi ve-
game home-stand with a 4-1-0-0
record. The Blazers are now 6-8-
0-0 on the season.
The Blazers will be in Van-
couver Friday night, and will be
back at Sandman Centre to host
the Prince George Cougars Sat.
Nov. 7.
