How to preserve your carved pumpkin Halloween is almost upon use, and
many people have been once again
pondering the age-old question:
“How do I keep my pumpkin from
spoiling once it’s been carved?”
Here is and quick and easy way to
help preserve your jack-o-lantern
this Halloween. This “recipe” will
keep your pumpkin fresh and look-
ing good for at least three weeks.
You will need:
Carved Pumpkin
2/3 cup Bleach
Water
Bucket
Once you have your bucket ready,
place your carved pumpkin gently
inside. Now, pour the bleach into the
bucket and fi ll with enough water
to submerge the pumpkin. Place the
pumpkin lid in there too!
Make sure your bucket is out of the
way because you want your pump-
kin to sit in the bleach water for 24
hours. During this time the pumpkin
will disinfect itself, and the water it
soaks up will aid in the prevention of
mold and deterioration.
After 24 hours, pull your pumpkin
out of the water and pour out any
excess that might be sitting inside.
Once your pumpkin is out of the wa-
ter, set it out to dry on some plastic.
The Pumpkin will last about three
weeks and will be ready to grace the
scariest of haunted houses this Hal-
loween.

HoroscopesOctober 14 - October 20, 2013The Lunar Eclipse this week occurs in your sign. Take anything that comes to a point of completion or to a head seriously as it may maintain some infl uence in your life during the next 6 months. Out of the ordinary experiences with others may suddenly see you considering completely different options for the future.
Something may begin to fi t into place more about somebody else, esp. if they’ve seemed a mystery. Ideas they express can seem practical and under control but you can sense another very differ-ent side to them. This can surface at times rather suddenly. You may also see them changing their mind as time goes on.
Time to put the ideas you have been considering since late Aug. into practice. You may not feel certain initially about the com-mitment this requires but if you’re willing to get to work, there’s much you will accomplish by early Dec. This is a good time to get things done at home and to sort out any overdue family matters.
Too much can be expected of you and although you can be tempt-ed to say things exactly as you see them, this may not be the best approach. If somebody feels they have authority, they will use it. They can be careless with detail and this is the area that you can fi nd ways around things. It’ll require you to remain on the alert.
Life is changing and much of this is to do with events that have taken place since late Aug. This can be pleasurable and open up a different world to you in the future. Exactly what it will be about may not begin to fully emerge ‘til July/14. Money can seem to slip through your hands this week so don’t spend unnecessarily.
Mars moves into your sign this week ‘til Dec. 8. This is the begin-ning of a new 2-year personal cycle. Your self-confi dence will lift and so will your energy level. Someone else may cast doubts. Have confi dence in your ability to be able to look into matters and analyse them well – this is your skill.
There can be some surprising and interesting experiences with others. It may make you wonder whether they’ve always been this way. Don’t ignore anything you begin to feel uncomfortable about with anybody because it may have long- term consequences. It may be teaching you to communicate quite differently.
Obligations you’ve had to deal with since late Aug. will now en-courage you to analyse exactly what should be your priorities. Risks should be left to one side. It’s more a matter of setting out a well-defi ned path to follow. You may benefi t from taking up a health or exercise regime that encourages more peace and tranquillity.
Expect some excitement though it may come without warning. You have what it takes to be able to go with the fl ow. Obligations are likely to increase to early Dec. Those with authority may be-come bossy, leaving you to wonder why that sort of behaviour is necessary. Just be sure you do what you should be doing.
There’s something beginning to take shape in your life behind the scenes. It’ll become more known from early Nov – March/14. This can involve somebody else. For complete success you need to be certain and determined about the level of responsibility you will accept, as you can be too self-sacrifi cing here.
Involvement with a group of people is your thing and can provide much mental stimulation at the moment. One to one relationships however may seem to become more complex and can easily affect your self-confi dence. Your fi rst responsibility is yourself, and this is something you will be wise to focus on ‘til early Dec.
There can be some interesting situations arise with others to early Dec. They are likely to be critical, which you may experience as passive, aggressive. Most important is that you don’t feel you need to make personal sacrifi ces for them. You need to recognise how they intend to put themselves fi rst and not you.

Mommyisms
I keep coming across articles, mom-
my blogs, or postings about some
sort of mommy-survival list. This has
me thinking about my own mommy-
list: Mommy’s vacation list!
I’ve been looking forward to my
“mommy vacation” for months – to
visit my best friend in San Fran-
cisco and celebrate our birthdays
(only two weeks apart). This tradi-
tion started six years ago and has
repeated itself bi-annually since.
Our fi rst year, we fi lled our four
days with all the traditional sightsee-
ing places that San Francisco had to
offer: Union Square, China Town,
trolley cars, the Trans America build-
ing (the pyramid), the painted ladies
(the houses), Fisherman’s Wharf,
Little Italy, shopping, and of course
the Golden Gate Bridge. We even
squeezed in a road trip down to Santa
Cruz. It was us against the world, and
the best girl vacation ever.
Over the years, the experiences have
changed as our lives have changed –
throwing some kids into the mix.
Here are a few things on my
mommy vacation list:
• 1: NO KIDS! The fi rst year
we were free! The second,
I was pregnant and the trip
was tame. And the last
time, my BFF, Kat, had a
son and I brought Aubri-
elle. The trip was memo-
rable and fun, but not as re-
laxing as if mommy-brain
could be turned off.
This weekend, I will be kid-
free for four days. However,
even though my mommy-
brain will be shut off, I will be
snuggling a new-born baby and an
almost three-year-old. (But, I won’t
be the one worrying about feed-
ing times, food groups, and if they
pooped today.) Mommy-brain will
be shut down. Aunty-brain will be
up and running.
• 2: SHOPPING. SHOPPING. SHOP-PING! There will be outlet stores
and I will be ready for some mom-
my-indulgent spending! The fi rst
year, I fi lled my suitcase with many
new goods – which will be hard to
live up to. Macy’s is my must see.
• 3: STARBUCKS – or whatever cof-
fee shop indulgence you prefer. I
cannot enjoy a California October
day without having my specialty
coffee/caffeine-induced euphoria.
• 4: GIRLY-GIRL TIMe - it’s long
overdue for both of us. In the early
days, our girly time was fi lled with
painting our nails, dying our hair,
and watching “chick-fl ick” while sit-
ting on the couch in our boxers. This
time, we will get pedicures, (sipping
our fl avoured lattes), and then hit the
movie theatre (in between baby feed-
ing times). Not much has changed!
• 5: PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES – for us,
we always worked out together and
loved hour long walks – which was
easy while touring the city, spend-
ing the day shopping, or enjoying
a park. This time, I will get my ass
handed to me, I am sure, as I have
already been booked in for workouts
every day. (Is it too late to back out?)
Other than that, I’m sure I’ll
have everything taken care of.
With a backpack, and my pass-
port, I’ll be boarding that plane
and setting off to the sunny skies!
I bet you all wish you could be
California girls!

Tim Bozon picked a good time
to score his fi rst goal of the sea-
son as it came on a shorthanded
breakaway with just under eight
minutes remaining in the game to
lift the Kamloops Blazers to a 4-3
victory over the Victoria Royals
last Friday night at the ISC.
The Blazers scored fi rst in this
one for the fourth time in fi ve
games this year. A good cycling
play in the offensive zone led to
Aaron Macklin putting home his
fi rst goal of the season with Joe
Kornelsen and Aspen Sterzer
picking up assists 5:54 into the
game. The Blazers had a strong
fi rst period and Tyson Ness added
to the lead coming out of the cor-
ner to the net and sliding home his
third goal of the season with three
minutes remaining in the period.
The Blazers outshot the Royals
11-7 in the period.
The Royals didn’t take long to
come back in this one taking ad-
vantage of two power plays at the
beginning of the second period.
The fi rst was scored 22 seconds
in to cut the lead to 2-1. The Roy-
als made it 2-2 only 4:21 into the
period on the power play to even
the score. The Blazers just kept
chipping away and took the lead
back with just under seven min-
utes remaining in the period. Matt
Needham’s centering pass was
tipped home by Ness, who scored
his fourth of the season to make
it 3-2 for the Blazers through two
periods.
The lead didn’t last long for the
Blazers in the third period as a
close play at the blue line led to a
Royals’ shot fi nding its way in the
net to make it 3-3 only 1:33 into
the third period. The Blazers pen-
alty kill won this one for them as
they looked to be in trouble after
Edson Harlacher was called for
a four-minute high stick. Bozon
wasted no time as he blocked a
shot and scored on a breakaway
28 seconds into the kill to make
it 4-3 for the Blazers. From there,
the Blazers were terrifi c in killing
off a long 5-on-3 power play for
the Royals and earned a 4-3 win
over their division rivals.
The Blazers fi nished the game
0-for-3 on the power play, while
the Royals were 2-for-7 on the
night. The Royals outshot the
Blazers 33-23 including 15-7 in
the third period spending a good
portion of the period on the power
play.
Bolton Pouliot earned his fi rst
win with the Blazers making 30
saves on the night.
The Blazers struggled generat-
ing offense in a 3-0 home ice loss
to the Prince George Cougars last
Saturday night.
The Blazers and Cougars had
a quiet and scoreless fi rst period
with the shots on goal 7-6 in fa-
vour of the Cougars. The Blazers
had three power play opportuni-
ties in the period but failed to gain
any momentum.
The Cougars started the second
period on the power play and
eventually scored to make it 1-0
Cougars 1:07 into the period.
The Cougars extended that lead
to make it 2-0 with just over six
minutes remaining in the period.
The Blazers thought they got on
the scoreboard in the third period.
A scramble in front of the net led
to Jesse Shynkaruk putting a puck
home as goaltender Ty Edmonds
was out of the play. It was ruled by
the referees that Edmonds was in-
advertently interfered with on the
play and the goal was disallowed.
The Blazers best period was the
third, but it was not enough as
they gave up an empty net goal in
a 3-0 loss.
Edmonds earned his second
shutout of the season with 27
saves, while Pouliot took the loss
making 28 saves on the night for
the Blazers.
The Blazers were 0-for-5 on the
power play, while the Cougars fi n-
ished 1-for-5.
The Blazers had their chances
in the third period to tie it up, but
couldn’t rally in a 3-2 home ice
loss to the Tri-City Americans on
Tuesday night.
The Americans scored the game’s
fi rst goal for a 1-0 Americans lead
2:58 into the game. The Blazers
had a solid period as they won
puck battles and created chances
ending up with 13 shots in the pe-
riod. The Blazers got on the score-
board late as a great passing play
from the line of Cole Ully, Bozon,
and Chase Souto was fi nished off
by Souto to tie the game at 1-1
through the fi rst period.
The Blazers were having a good
second period until they had trou-
ble in their own zone ending up in
an Americans goal. The Ameri-
cans scored with just under three
minutes remaining in the period to
make it 2-1. The Americans got a
late break as a shot on the power
play defl ected off a Blazers de-
fender and off the post and in for a
3-1 lead through two periods.
The Blazers put their rally caps
on in the third period and went
to work. They looked as though
they were going to cut into the
lead when Mitch Friesen shot a
puck at the net that made it past
goaltender Eric Comrie, but the
puck stayed out. The ensuing
scramble led to Ryan Rehill blast-
ing a shot off the post and a couple
of missed chances in front as the
Americans held on to their lead.
Shortly after, Souto struck again
as Ully danced around a defender
and fed Souto for his second goal
of the night to make it 3-2 with
just under eight minutes to play.
Eric Comrie played well for the
Americans making 30 saves and
turning aside great chances from
Matt Needham and Souto in the
fi nal fi ve minutes of the game as
the Americans won 3-2.
The Blazers outshot the Ameri-
cans 32-30 in the game. The
Americans were 1-for-6 on the
power play, while the Blazers fi n-
ished 0-for-2.
The road awaits the Blazers as
they head south for two games
this weekend in Tri-City on Fri-
day night and in Portland on Sat-
urday night.

league standings with a 7-2-0-0
record after their fi rst nine games
of regular season play despite
losing one of two games on the
weekend.
The Storm took a 6-4 loss at
home against the Kootenay
Conference Eddie Mountain
division-leading Creston Valley
Thunder Cats last Friday.
Brock Balson opened the scor-
ing for the Storm just 1:59 into the
game to give Kamloops a 1-0 lead.
The T’Cats tied the game halfway
through the period to make it 1-1
after 20. The Storm outshot Cres-
ton 14-5 in the period.
The T’Cats took a 3-1 lead with two
quick back-to-back goals, the fi rst
happening 31 seconds into the middle
frame then the second just 20 seconds
later. Daniel Buchanan got the Storm
to within one goal with a power play
goal at 7:08, then Balson scored his
second goal on the night 1:21 later to
tie the game. But Creston came back
with a late-period goal with 4:52 re-
maining in the period to make it 4-3
after 40. The Storm outshot the visi-
tors 14-11 in the second period.
Josh Rasmussen tied the game for
the Storm just nine seconds into the
third period, giving the Storm hope
as they peppered the visitors’ net with
13 shots in the period, but the T’Cats
only needed two of their fi ve shots
on goal to put the game away as they
scored the winning goal with 5:17 re-
maining. Kamloops pulled goalten-
der Ben Giesbrecht with 55 seconds
remaining for the extra attacker, but
it was the T’Cats that got the empty-
net goal with one second remaining
on the score clock with a power play
goal to take the 6-4 win over the host
Storm. The Storm outshot the Thun-
der Cats 41-21 on the game.
The following night, hosted the Griz-
zlies, and came away with a decisive
5-1 win over the Revelstoke team.
Felix Larouche opened the scoring
for the Storm just 54 seconds into
the game to give Kamloops an early
1-0 lead. Bobby Kashuba gave the
Storm a 2-0 lead with a power play
goal with 6:35 remaining in the fi rst
period. Rasmussen scored a power
play goal of his own 25 seconds later
to give the Storm a 3-0 lead after 20.
There was no scoring in the rough
second period as both teams each
had fi ve penalties including fi ve-
minute fi ghting majors after the
Storm’s Ian Chrystal and Coleton
Dawson squared off with 3:30 re-
maining in the middle frame.
Larouche scored his second goal of
the game 3:28 into the third for a 4-0
lead. Less than three minutes later,
Max James made it 5-0 Storm with
a power play goal. The Grizzlies
got on the score board with 2:24 re-
maining, spoiling Giesbrecht’s shut-
out bid. The Storm outshot the Griz-
zlies 49-20 in their 5-1 win.
The Storm are on the road this
weekend, facing the Rockets in
Golden on Fri. Oct. 11, then the
Columbia Valley Rockets in In-
vermere on Sat. Oct. 12.

The REEL CHANGE Sustain-
Ability Film Festival is coming
to Kamloops again Oct. 17 to 19,
and this year’s line-up is truly in-
spiring!
Hosted by the Fresh Outlook
Foundation (FOF) and sponsored
by BC Hydro Power Smart, the
festival presents a series of ac-
claimed documentaries on a va-
riety of current sustainability is-
sues including the organic food
industry, threatened wild salmon,
the Great Pacifi c Garbage Patch,
and human survival.
The intention of the festival is
actual behaviour change, and
nothing inspires like fi lm. “The
topics are very relevant, and
close to home,” said Kamloops
festival organizer Marcia Dick.
“Each of the fi lms carries a mean-
ingful message and, in my case,
has resulted in real changed be-
haviour. I ride my bike as much
as possible, hang-dry my clothes,
compost, eat organic food, re-
fuse to buy farmed salmon, and
continually look for new ways to
lessen my impact on our planet’s
resources.”
The two feature presentations,
Revolution and Salmon Con-
fi dential, are being shown, re-
spectively, on Oct. 18 and 19, at
7 p.m. nightly at the Kamloops
Yacht Club. The festival opens
Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. with a showing
of Lost Rivers at the Kamloops
Art Gallery. Also playing Oct. 19
at the Kamloops Yacht Club will
be Hungry for Change at 10 a.m.,
Plastic Paradise at 1 p.m., and In
Organic We Trust at 3:30 p.m.
“Last year we offered the docu-
mentaries for free to teachers and
professors,” said FOF’s Joanne
de Vries. “And it was highly suc-
cessful! Within a week we had
more than ten showings lined up.
In total, more than 300 students
participated. This year’s line-up
is stronger still and we know
people will be excited about the
amazing variety of topics and
styles.”
FOF is making these fi lms avail-
able to any teacher, professor, stu-
dent club, or local group for free.
“This is a very exciting time
when people all over the world
are trying to bring sustainability
into the mainstream,” explained
de Vries. “And we want to be part
of making that happen. Schools
are centres of learning and inno-
vative change, and we expect that
these documentaries will trigger
ideas that will help accelerate the
move toward this community’s
social, cultural, environmental,
and economic well-being.”

Whether it’s smiling at a stranger, giving a kind word or comple-
ment or donating a sleeping bag to a homeless person, it’s that sort of
random act of kindness that Cool to be Kind Week in Kamloops is all
about. And each year the event grows.
“It’s growing,” Kelly Kelland, chief executive offi cer of Interior
Community Services (ICS), said of Cool to be Kind’s tenth year. “We
were on the bridge Monday morning, and we got lots of honks and
waves.”
The week began Monday morning as drummers from the Skeetchestn
Indian Band marked the kickoff for the week at the ICS parking lot on
Tranquille Road.
Last year, ICS had people helping others cross Third Avenue at Co-
lumbia Street. Then they received their own random act of kindness
when ASK Wellness staff served them lunch, Kelland said.
This year, the other big public day is Thursday, when free chili and
coffee are being served up at its 396 Tranquille Rd. location. At the
lunch, the agency is also accepting donations of warm clothing, blan-
kets and sleeping bags to hand out to those who need.
Donations can be dropped off before Thursday at the ICS offi ce or at
the safe house at 1286 River St.
Interior Community Services is doing its own internal day of caring
during the week, and an external day of caring with random acts of
kindness on Friday, according to family support worker Amy Fournier.
Cool to be Kind Week runs Oct. 7 to 13.
