Bridge reconstruction switching sides this weekend

City of Kamloops offi cials say they hope to

have the west side of the Overlanders Bridge

fi nished by Sunday, a couple days later than

expected, with construction switching to the

east end of the bridge in time for the Monday

morning commute.

There have been delays this week paving

the west side due to the rain the city has re-

ceived over the past couple days, according to

Capital Projects manager Darren Crundwell.

He said crews have been working to clean the

deck and dry it out, so they can resume pav-

ing, which is expected to be completed over

the weekend.

Despite those delays, the project is still

scheduled to fi nish by Oct. 31. The chal-

lenges the contractor has faced on the west

side won’t be the same on the east side when

reconstruction there begins early next week.

Off duty offi cer’s hunch leads to three arrests

An off-duty Kamloops RCMP offi cer’s

hunch led to the arrest of a pair of theft sus-

pects and the recovery of a boat and truck

stolen out of Lake Country last Sunday night.

The astute offi cer was driving on the Trans

Canada Highway near Dallas early Monday

morning, Sept. 7, when he saw a boat and

trailer being unhitched at the side of the

road, according to Corporal Cheryl Bush.

The offi cer turned around to keep an eye

on the suspicious activity and called it in to

the detachment. He watched as the boat was

hooked up to a different vehicle – a Dodge

pickup – that arrived on scene and departed

with the boat.

When on-duty offi cers arrived and pulled

the pickup over, they found both the pickup

and the boat had been stolen the night be-

fore from the Lake Country area. A sawed

off shotgun was also located in one of the

vehicles.

Two 28-year-old men and a 46-year-old

man are facing charges in relation to pos-

session of stolen property, obstruction and

possession of a prohibited weapon. All three

have previous criminal records and are

known to police in the region.

HoroscopesSeptember 14 - September 20, 2015

Any plans that were previously made with someone else may take an entirely different direction between now & mid-Oct. There are major new beginnings establishing themselves connected to oth-ers that can’t be seen. Whatever endings they may bring will be defi nite, leaving you to ponder future goals to pursue.

Hopefully you’ve taken the opportunity to sort out commitments between yourself & others since mid-June. If not, you can fi nd them becoming secretive & harder to deal with over the next 2 years. Reviewing daily routines can be helpful to mid-Oct. Leave enough time for pleasure for the next 12 months.

You can fi nally leave behind doubts about others that you’ve had to deal with since your birthday. It’s important you lay down different foundations when it comes to commitments to others over the next 2 years. If they believe they’ve secured an assur-ance from you, it’ll be very diffi cult for you to wriggle out of it.

What you must think about on a daily basis can easily becoming overwhelming. Review, now – mid-Oct., the way things have been previously structured & assess their validity when it comes to what you hope to accomplish. Be conscious of not turning yourself into a slave for the next 2 years.

Watch your money this week – it may slip through your fi ngers. Life’s been developing a new path, which you may need to weigh up right now. If you’ve taken a sensible approach primarily since late 2012, you’ll now move into a 2 year period where you can relax & enjoy life a little more. Don’t take risks with money.

The next 6 months marks important new beginnings. Develop certainty about the position you want to take rather than allow-ing others to confuse you. This’ll play a big role in the way you structure your life over the next 2 years in creating your life’s foundation.

Review your personal situation now – Oct. 10. Involved in this can be whatever’s gone on with your fi nances since late 2012. There’s still much that won’t fully move ahead for another 12 months. In between time, gather as much information as pos-sible to make an informed decision.

There’s been much that changed you since late 2012. A fi nal review of that has taken place since mid-June. Now you’re mov-ing onto the next stage for the next 2 years. Keep ideas to your-self ‘til Nov. Be cautious about support that seems too good to be true. Focus on obligations you need to deal with.

You can again move forward after being held back in some way since mid-June. You now enter the serious part of your new 30-year personal cycle that’ll operate ‘til late-Dec. 2017. It’s all about personal commitment in some way & being responsible. It’s the only way you’ll move forward. You can have great success.

The future has a lot of promise that may be attached to new direc-tions that have come up recently, or may in the next 6 months. There’s something about past habit patterns that’ll be challenged. You’ll have the opportunity to recognise what you mustn’t do again if you’re to create the best situations in the future.

The pressure you’ve had to deal with since late 2012, & again from mid-June, will now move on. Realise what you don’t want to either put up with or accept. This’ll be a big help in framing what you do want over the next 2 years. Don’t be drawn into any risky fi nancial ventures over the next 12 months.

Interaction between you & someone else can seem like magic. They expect a new direction, so be sure about where you re-ally stand. Commitment will become a solid reality in the next 2 years, & with this, will be greater pressure with obligations. Decide whether you just want to concentrate on yourself.

The Kamloops Blazers opened

the WHL preseason with a convinc-

ing 6-3 win over the Prince George

Cougars last Friday night at home.

The Blazers dressed a veteran

line-up, while the Cougars had

a much younger line-up and it

showed early.

The scoring spree started 4:47

into the fi rst period as Patrik

Maier’s long shot beat a screened

Tavin Grant to make it 1-0.

The Blazers added three more

goals before the 10-minute mark

as Collin Shirley, Deven Sideroff

and Matt Needham all scored for

the Blazers.

The Cougars replied with a goal

from Kolby Johnson as the Blaz-

ers led 4-1 after the fi rst period.

Cam Reagan and Luke Harrison

added goals in the second period

to make it 6-1 midway through

the game.

The Cougars replied with a

couple of goals in the latter half

of the second period. Max Mar-

tin and Kody McDonald scored

for the Cougars to make it 6-3

through two periods.

The highlight of the second period

may have been a spirited tilt be-

tween 17-year-old Jermaine Loew-

en and 20-year-old Aaron Macklin.

The third period offered up no

scoring as the Blazers cruised to

a 6-3 victory over the Cougars.

The Blazers outshot the Cougars

42-19. The Blazers were 0-for-

6 on the power play, while the

Cougars fi nished 1-for-5.

Connor Ingram earned the win

stopping 16 of 19 shots. Tavin

Grant and Patrick Gora split the

goaltending duties for the Cou-

gars. Grant stopped 16 of 21 shots,

while Gora stopped 20 of 21 shots.

The Blazers never had the lead in

a 5-3 loss to the Vancouver Giants

in Ladner last Saturday night.

The Giants had a strong fi rst pe-

riod and scored the game’s fi rst

goal as Dakota Odgers pounced

on a rebound and made it 1-0.

The Giants outshot the Blazers

14-9 in the fi rst period.

In the second period, Jackson

Houck scored twice for the Gi-

ants. He tallied on a 5-on-3 pow-

er play and a breakaway to make

it 3-0 midway through the second

period.

Cole Kehler played the fi rst half

of the game for the Blazers and

stopped 16 of 19 shots. Dylan

Ferguson went in goal for the

Blazers.

The Giants also changed

goaltenders as David Tendeck

stopped all 10 shots he faced and

Ryan Kubic entered the net.

The Blazers got on the score-

board 8:46 into the fi nal period.

At the end of a power play, Gar-

rett Pilon put a shot on goal that

squeezed through the pads of

goaltender Ryan Kubic to make

it a 3-1 game.

The Giants replied with two

goals, as Carter Popoff created a

turnover and scored a shorthanded

goal and James Malm padded to

the Giants lead to make it 5-1 with

six and a half minutes to play.

The Blazers would add two late

goals as Jesse Zaharichuk and

Matt Revel rounded out the scor-

ing in a 5-3 loss to the Giants.

The Blazers had two 15-year-

old players in the line-up as de-

fenseman Luke Zazula and for-

ward Jackson Shepard both got

their fi rst taste of WHL action.

Shepard picked up an assist on

Zaharichuk’s goal.

Dylan Ferguson stopped seven

of nine shots in the second half

of the game, while Ryan Kubic

turned aside 13 of 16 shots.

The Blazers fi nished 1-for-13 on

the power play, while the Giants

were 1-for-8.

The Blazers return to WHL pre-

season action Fri. Sept. 11, when

they host the Kelowna Rockets.

The puck drops at 7 p.m. The fol-

lowing night, Sat. Sept. 12, the

Blazers are in Kelowna to take on

the Rockets in the second half of

the home-and-home series.

The Canadian winter climate can take its toll, but with the proper

fall maintenance you can set your lawn and garden down for a rest.

“After a busy summer of mowing and maintenance, your lawn and

garden will need some special care before the snow falls,” said

Michelle Sordi, director of marketing for Husqvarna. “You can how-

ever, jump start your spring chores for growing a healthier garden.”

To ensure your garden survives the winter and has the ultimate

spring awakening, the pros recommend the following steps:

• Clean up the area: Be sure to remove any dead foliage, this will

prevent a diffi cult spring cleanup and overgrown weeds. Harvest

everything above ground in the vegetable garden to avoid attracting

animals and pests.

• Protect your shrubs: To help keep your shrubs healthy, generously

water them before wrapping in burlap for the winter. When wrap-

ping, work your way from the bottom up to prevent the bending of

branches in an unnatural form.

• Fertilize before the frost: Your grass will start to slow its growth so

it is important to fertilize it with the appropriate nutrients to survive

the harsh months ahead. Also, the clippings from the fi nal mow-

ing should be left on the lawn as mulch to help protect the delicate

crowns of the grass plants and lock in nutrients.

• Take it indoors: Some plants fare better indoors during the winter

but before you make the switch, immerse the pots in lukewarm water

to help remove insects and prevent other unwanted critters from

transferring into your home. Also check the leaves of the plant and

give them a quick rinse as an added precaution.

• Store your tools properly: Last, but not least, remember to clean all

your gardening tools thoroughly before storing them indoors. Use

soap and water to remove residual dirt and dried-on materials from

tool surfaces. Be sure to drain the fuel from mowers as gasoline left

in fuel tanks will break down, leaving deposits and build-up that will

plug up the fuel system. – NC
