Bear bylaw in effect

From April 1 to 30, open burn-

ing of yard and garden waste on

properties of one acre (43,560

sq. ft.) or greater within the City

of Kamloops and Tk’emlúps te

Secwépemc is allowed upon ob-

taining a permit.

However, there are conditions

that apply to these permits, and

failure to comply with these con-

ditions or obtain the necessary

permit may result in a $500 fi ne.

These conditions include, but

are not limited to:

• No burning outside the Venting

Index,

• No burning after dark,

• Burning for commercial, or in-

dustrial, as well as on properties

less than one acre is prohib-

ited.

Permits for burning within

the city must be picked-

up at Fire Station No. 1,

1205 Summit Dr. Monday

to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

excluding holidays. A $100

fee will be charged for

the permit; exact cash or

cheques are accepted.

Permits for burning with-

in the Tk’emlúps te Sec-

wépemc must be picked

up at Tk’emlúps te Sec-

wépemc, 200 – 330 Chief

Alex Thomas Way.

For residents with properties

less than one acre, the following

alternative disposal methods are

recommended:

• Compost as much material as

possible on your own property,

• Take green waste to one of the

City’s three drop-off sites: Cin-

namon Ridge (4.3 km west of

the airport on Tranquille Road),

Eliza Road in Barnhartvale, or at

the end of McGill Road.

For permit or Venting Index in-

formation, call 250-372-5131 or

visit www.kamloops.ca/fi rerescue.

Venting Index information is

updated daily after 8 a.m.

Permits required to burn yard and garden waste

(Dangerous Wildlife Protection

Act-section 88.1).

Those residents that take their

garbage to the curb before 4 am

on collection day or accumulate

or improperly store bear attrac-

tants can be fi ned $100 per in-

cident (as outlined in the Solid

Waste and Recyclables Bylaw

No. 40-59, 2011).

To fi nd out where the most re-

cent wildlife sightings have been

in Kamloops, visit the Wildlife

Alert Reporting Program

For more information, contact

the Kamloops WildSafeBC co-

ordinator at 250-828-3379 or

visit WildSafeBC.

Residents are reminded not to

put garbage out before 4 a.m. on

collection day. People and wild-

life, such as bears, are increas-

ingly sharing space throughout

Kamloops so it’s important that

we learn how to live with them

harmoniously.

One of the main reasons bears

will enter neighbourhoods is be-

cause of mismanaged garbage.

The bears cannot change their

behaviour but we can.

Make sure you:

• KEEP GARBAGE OUT OF REACH.

Garbage is not healthy for bears.

When bears learn that garbage

means food, they come back to

it again and again. Store garbage

and recycling indoors, in a very

sturdy shed or use a garbage bin

bear clamp.

• COMPOST RESPONSIBLY, PICK

RIPE FRUIT AND REMOVE UNWANT-

ED FRUIT TREES. Bears are omni-

vores so they love eating veg-

etation, berries and other fruit.

Make sure your backyard isn’t

providing lunch for bears!

Check your yard for bear attrac-

tants:

• PET FOOD: Store pet food indoors.

• BARBECUE: Keep your barbecue

clean.

• BIRD FEEDERS: Remove bird

feeders from May to November.

Remember, a fed bear is a dead

bear.

Feeding bears, even uninten-

tionally, is against the law in BC.

Potentially deadly strain of pot on the streets

A Kamloops social agency is issuing a warning today about a poten-

tially deadly strain of marijuana making the rounds. ASK Wellness is

worried about the general population, especially younger people, who

could be putting themselves in harm’s way by smoking up.

Ken Salter of ASK Wellness said he’s just learned there is pot laced

with fentanyl that is being sold in Kamloops. Fentanyl is a drug that is

considered to be one hundred times more potent than heroin.

There’s no way to tell pot is laced with fentanyl simply by looking

at it, according to Salter, who advises people who smoke marijuana to

know the source of the drug, know the dealer, and if it tastes funny,

not to smoke it.

A woman who was found engulfed in fl ames in Riverside Park early

Tuesday morning died from her injuries.

Kamloops Fire Rescue received the call at about 2:15 a.m. and found

the woman on fi re near two boulders east of the Japanese gardens.

Two fi refi ghters sustained injuries from inhaling the dry chemical

used to extinguish her. Firefi ghters responded to what they thought

was a routine fi rst responder call, but when they arrived on scene dis-

covered the fi re and didn’t have time to put on protective gear in order

to try to save the woman’s life, according to KFR Capt. Darryl Cooper.

The BC Coroner’s Service is investigating.

Police investigate North Shore home invasion

Kamloops RCMP are investi-

gating a home invasion on the

North Shore just after 5 p.m.

Mon. March 30.

Police were called to a home in the

300-block of Fortune Drive after a

report that two men entered the resi-

dence with a handgun and attempt-

ed to steal items from the victim.

The suspects fl ed on foot before

police got there. Offi cers set up a

perimeter around the house on the

corner of Fort Avenue and Fortune

Drive and the canine unit was also

brought on scene, but weren’t able

to locate the suspect or weapon.

Police believe the incident was a

targeted event.

No one was injured in the incident.

The investigation continues.

Anyone with information regard-

ing this incident is asked to call

the Kamloops detachment at 250-

828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at

1-800-222-TIPS (8477) to remain

anonymous.

HoroscopesApril 6 - April 12, 2015

Expect the unexpected. There’s no reason why this shouldn’t be benefi cial in some way. Don’t be overly indulgent; before you jump into anything quickly consider some boundaries. Social events should be most enjoyable. However obligations shouldn’t be forgotten or they’ll cause issues.

There may be some tension between what you want to do or accept & what somebody else desires from the situation; take a more passive position. The least you say, the better. Let things take their own course without your intervention & they’ll have a better chance of getting sorted out.

Interaction with friends or a group of people will have some (pleasant) surprises. Conversation won’t be lacking & will prob-ably cover a broad range of topics. Something misunderstood in the past may be sorted out, particularly with siblings or neigh-bours. Rest.

Be mindful of accepting obligations too quickly or you may end up doing all the work while others remain free. Watch any im-pulsive spending. Before you buy something that appeals, con-sider other things that need to be paid & how you can make this more diffi cult for yourself. This has to be your decision, too.

You may feel you’re in a better position to move forward on a per-sonal level after having been in review of where life stands since early-Dec. Quite a different approach to the future may reveal it-self swiftly. In your enthusiasm, be sure you look at the details that would need to be handled on a daily basis to be successful.

Don’t ignore what your senses tell you about other people, as you’ll be tuning in very accurately. It may be hard to believe you’re right. Don’t sacrifi ce your own pleasures in life to either meet somebody else’s demands or to make life easier for them. You may need to become realistic about this.

Others won’t be predictable but this doesn’t have to cause any great concern unless it disturbs plans you put in place or the way you generally do things. They won’t necessarily hide anything. You may just need to ask the right questions. It may lead you to consider what your priorities are & how they fi t in with them.

Things can change without warning on a daily basis putting greater pressure on you. Before you automatically accept any-thing consider just how much you can realistically handle with-out it affecting what you need to cope with in your own regular routine. Remember, others’ fi rst consideration isn’t you.

Social activity can have some very pleasant surprises that can have longer-term consequences as well. Recent pressures can encourage you to suddenly plan a holiday or a break to get away from it all. Be realistic on the fi nancial side with this. Otherwise you’ll feel more trapped with extra pressures later.

You can feel driven to get things in order quite suddenly. You can feel a sense of urgency to move forward with whatever ‘ve been considering for a while – likely including getting rid of things that no longer serve a useful purpose or have gone beyond the use-by date. Others will likely support you on this.

There can be much to enjoy in the company of others. The op-portunity to bring up matters for discussion that have seemed elusive in the past can suddenly present themselves; don’t let opportunity pass you by. You can also get a clearer picture, in your own mind, about what you need to let go of in your life.

There are probably many more things you want to buy or spend your money on than you can realistically afford. Don’t be tempt-ed to go for broke anyway. Being able to manage fairly well on a daily basis is more important & it’ll keep you happier in the long run. Constant pressure isn’t something that fi ts well with you.

Mommy survival guide vol. 3 or 4 or . . .

Every now and again, I come up

with my own Mommy Survival

Guide – items, ideas, or tasks I

need to survive motherhood. As

the kids get older, as our lives get

busier, as my sanity disintegrates

little by little each day, I grasp

these little things that make my

life that much easier/saner.

1. Easy to grab snacks: Being

busy enough, I don’t want to

have to get up to feed my kids

snacks. This way, I can send

them to get their own snacks – as

well, it comes in hand for them to

pack their school snacks: cheese

sticks, yogurt tubes, crackers,

hard boiled eggs, apple sauce,

granola bars.

2. Quick dinners: I’m not a

fast-food mom. I don’t stop at a

drive-thru to pick up dinner for

my kids– only because I would

be tempted to eat that, too. I cook

bigger, healthy dinners through-

out the weekend, and once or

twice during the week – always

having enough for leftovers. But

on the other nights, there is usu-

ally frozen chicken strips, frozen

vegetables, frozen pizza (see a

theme?), macaroni and cheese, or

hotdogs. Dinner in 30 minutes or

less is required on school nights.

3. Grocery shopping with fewer

kids: I don’t have the luxury of

going grocery shopping by my-

self – as my husband has been

away for school. Taking both kids

to the grocery store is a recipe for

a padded cell. So, I’ve come up

with a solution: go shopping with

only one kid. This works well, as

on Saturday mornings, Zachary

is at taekwondo, and I have all

morning with just Aubrielle. One

child is easier when you don’t

have the second child poking,

and bothering the fi rst child.

Also, as Aubrielle is no longer

in the buggy, it’s easier to only

wrangle one kid. (Are those kid

leashes still around/legal?)

It’s surprising how quickly you

get things done with only one

child – as I’m on a time limit to

get my shopping done before I

have to take Aubrielle to ballet.

Who knew I could tick off my list

– Costco, Target, and Save-On –

all in 90 minutes.

4. Separate siblings: If you have

more than one child, as they get

older, the more they bug and tor-

ment each other. Therefore, I try

to separate them at certain times

to reduce this as much as possi-

ble, which doesn’t always work.

Don’t let kids in the same bath-

room at the same time. If you

have the luxury of having more

than one bathroom, assign the

kids each a different bathroom

when it’s time to wash up, brush

teeth, etc. The kids are supposed

to wait their turn, are beyond

the point of sharing that space,

and needing privacy while do-

ing bathroom duties. But, I still

hear screaming, slamming doors,

and more screaming. So, Zachary

goes downstairs. Aubrielle goes

upstairs . . . for the most part.

To be continued . . .

Last Friday night the Kamloops

Storm were less than a half

minute away from taking a 3-2

series lead in the league fi nal. The

Storm led 1-0 after the second pe-

riod with a goal by Ryan Keis.

Mitch Friesen made it 2-1 Storm

in the third. Then with 11 seconds

left in regulation time the Kimber-

ley Dynamiters scored to tie it.

The Dynamiters then went on to

win in double overtime. Instead of

returning home with a chance to

clinch the series, the Storm were
