Get your scarecrow on
SCARECROW. Get your group together and create your best scarecrow for the
Wednesday Farmers’ Market Scarecrow Making Contest on Oct. 2. Submitted photo
The Kamloops Farmers’ Market
is presenting a scarecrow making
contest and invites the public to
participate!
Here’s how: Get into the spirit
of the fall make and an old-fash-
ioned scarecrow. The Scarecrow
Making Contest is open to any
school, youth organization/facil-
ity, neighbourhood group, fam-
ily, individual, business, or offi ce
group; in short, everyone!
To make it that much more en-
ticing, there is no entry fee to
submit your creation.
This is a great team building
event for groups, organizations,
youth groups, and children. Par-
ticipants are urged to be creative,
choosing a theme that represents
their business, club or organiza-
tion.
Make your scarecrow free-
standing or mounted on a stable
surface. A lawn chair or wagon
works great! Be sure to bring
all materials you need to display
scarecrow on location. You can
use any materials to make your
scarecrow. Leave valuable items
that are part of your scarecrow at
your own risk.
Get your group together to pre-
make your scarecrow, and deliver
it to the Farmers’ Market in the
400-block of Victoria Street be-
tween 8 and 9:30 a.m. on Wed.
Oct. 2.
Ensure that your name and day-
time phone number is included in
your display. Pick up your scare-
crow between 2 and 2:30 p.m.
Judging will take place at 1 p.m., and prizes will be awarded to the
winning submissions.
Here are some helpful hints for sourcing materials and ideas: The
Horse Barn for straw; thrift shops for old clothes, hats, and other
props; and do an internet search on how to make a scarecrow.
If possible, pre-register at the Wednesday’s Farmers’ Market informa-
tion table, by e-mail to Wednesdaymanager@kamloopsfarmersmarket.
com, or by contacting KCBIA, 250-372-3242 or www.kcbia.com.
Over the next couple of weeks
at Home Hardware outlets
across B.C. you can get a deal
on an LED bulb and a signed
copy of the book The Light
Bulb Games – all for just $10.
The Book and a Bulb tour by
David Clark-Wilson and High-
Net Energy hits Kamloops on
Fri. Sept. 27, as it makes a stop
at the Kamloops Home Hard-
ware, 1325 Josep Way, from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m.
The book’s central characters
are three types of replacement
bulbs currently on the market –
Inky (incandescent); Curly (com-
pact fl uorescents CFLs) and LED
Bright (LEDs). The three bulb
characters compete in a series of
competitions related to energy-
savings and friendliness to the
environment. In the book, ac-
tion hero LED Bright tackles the
competition and makes a com-
pelling case on how he can help
save the planet by cutting energy
costs for lighting by 90 per cent.
You can learn more about
LED Bright’s Battle of the
Bulbs from the author and dis-
cuss the dramatic planetary im-
pact if everyone removed their
incandescent and CFL light
bulbs and converted to LEDs.
“I’m looking forward to meet-
ing Home Hardware customers
and everyone interested in the
book and energy sustainability
for the next generation,” said
Clark-Wilson.

Say hello to RCMP Barbie.
Sporting a Mountie uniform,
wide-brimmed Stetson hat
and high-heeled Strathcona
boots, the red-haired beauty
has been fl ying off Cana-
dian store shelves.
While she was of-
fi cially introduced in
May, it wasn’t until the
RCMP Heritage Centre
tweeted about her on Mon-
day that a surge of buyers
started snatching up the
limited-edition $30 doll.
The RCMP says about 300
dolls were sold in one day,
mostly from their Heritage
Centre and their Mountie
Shop, which sells the dolls
online.
“It’s a bit crazy,” Bianca Mc-
Gregor, director of marketing for
the centre, said “We didn’t think it
would be this popular.
“It’s just fl attering that a brand
like Barbie would choose the
RCMP as an icon for Canada.”
The RCMP Barbie doesn’t com-
pletely conform to RCMP stan-
dards: her high heeled boots
wouldn’t make the cut, and
her long locks would be short-
er than shoulder-length or in
a bun or roll.
Offi cially named “Canada
Barbie,” the doll was pro-
duced by Barbie manufac-
turer Mattel in conjunc-
tion with the RCMP as
part of the Barbie Dolls
of the World collection.
Mattel manufactured 11,000
RCMP Barbies and claims it
has no intention of producing
more.
A portion of the proceeds from
sales are given to the RCMP,
which will donate the money
to at-risk youth programs.
For those looking to grab this
fair-haired beauty, she will con-
tinue to be sold through the
Mountie Shop, as well as in select
retail stores, including Target and
Loblaws.

HoroscopesSeptember 30 - October 6, 2013
New people that come into your life can have an out of the ordinary effect. Those already in your life may feel it is time some new direc-tions were taken. Their approach can seem more fl exible and easy going than the actual result they are looking for. You could fi nd yourself dealing with a battle of wills if you don’t want to agree.
What you presume someone else is conveying may not be what they mean at all. The only way you will get to the bottom of things is to look at the pattern that exists in the manner matters have de-veloped so far. You need to avoid getting yourself caught up in situ-ations that limit your freedom and ability to control your situation.
Benefi ts can come surprisingly through people who are in a posi-tion to have some infl uence. This could attract some jealousy so the least said about it the better. This is an excellent time to join a group or organisation for pleasure, even to take up a hobby. Any focus of late on your health should start to reap some benefi t.
New directions can be established with family members but this is more about you shedding responsibility rather than taking it on. This is also a good time for you to make changes in the home, even if you do meet with some stiff opposition. Your interest will be in streamlining things so that more time is available for pleasure.
You can gain greater knowledge so take advantage of any situation that opens up, which could teach you new things. Don’t be impa-tient about detail if it seems to present diffi culty to begin with. You may understand more than you realise. Over time it will all fall into place enabling you to make use of it in a well-structured way.
Now is the time to make changes when it comes to fi nance. This could involve a more up to date approach or taking advantage of technology. You need to be comfortable and clear minded about the decisions you make. Somebody else may not be taking an approach, which has the sort of practicality you tend to prefer.
This week brings the opportunity for you to generate new situa-tions on a personal level, especially with any matters where you have been dealing with rebellion of others. Where the solution lies is in the level of determination. They have to realise you will stand fi rm no matter what.
You will be mentally in tune though it may not encourage you to be in a rush or to push things too quickly. Whatever the future outcome is that you desire is best kept to yourself for now, especially if this involves something alternative or out of the ordinary. The eventual result will be more powerful because of present seclusion.
Things seem to be operating on two levels right now. What you really think needs to be kept to yourself if you want to see the establishment of your plans. Friends or involvement with a group of people that is more pleasure based will provide a much-needed escape. What you don’t like is the persistent need to be secretive at some level.
If there is anything you need to reorganise about yourself or the way you have been handling your life, now is the time to commit yourself to this. It can lead to the sense of a whole new lease of life that can lead to a huge level of personal transformation over many years to come. Others can help but it is mainly up to you.
Focus on what you can change in the long term for yourself. Re-lying on somebody else brings with it too many unknowns that can generate a sense of insecurity. Be sensible when it comes to money. Avoid long-term commitments if you have the slightest doubt about being able to manage them. There is a lot of promise.
You will be very in tune when it comes to visions of the future. Accomplishment of these things will not be without its challeng-es. This could come from new directions other people intend to develop or alternative measures they expect you to embrace. For this reason it is important that you are fi rm about your priorities.

Mommyisms
It has been a couple months since
we got our puppy/dog, Infi nity –
a 20-month-old male old beagle.
Our family seems to have ad-
justed nicely, and Infi nity is well
behaved, especially with our chil-
dren; he will sit and stay on com-
mand (for me), and knows that
Mama is boss. But, it seems that
there is a new power struggle for
the Alpha male in the house, much
to the chagrin of my husband.
Over the weeks, there has been
the occasional “accident” on the
fl oor. Infi nity even took to marking
his territory four times in our living
room when we left him alone one
afternoon – in the fi rst week. Over-
all, for me, Infi nity is well behaved.
My husband does not seem to
have the same experience.
Every night, when my husband
arrives home from work, Infi nity is
excited to see him, but he also takes
to peeing on the fl oor, or (possibly
by accident) on his leg. Alain is very
tired of these “golden showers.”
During the day, while my hus-
band is home with the dog and
kids, the dog has taken to mark-
ing his territory in the living room
once or twice – asserting that HE is
the Alpha male in the house. This
behaviour has not happened while
I have been home as Infi nity would
not dare defy the Alpha female!
This power struggle happens
only when I am not present. I
have not witnessed this, although,
I have cleaned up a couple “acci-
dents” on the carpet and wall.
For now, the males will duke it
out to assert their power of the
house. Although, they both for-
get there is one other male in the
house; Zachary has now been
thrown into the mix.
Alain, Zachary, and Infi nity takes
turns as the Alpha male – which
doesn’t always sit well with the
Alpha female of the house, espe-
cially when my seven-year-old
talks over me to command the
dog. (Sounds like my mom!)
The result, a few weeks later, is
that the Alpha male is, of course,
my husband . . . And Zachary and
Infi nity have stepped into line
(and bow), showing their respect
in a submissive behaviour. (Well,
Zachary doesn’t bow, and some-
times doesn’t show submissive re-
spect – still challenging the Alphas
– But, that’s a different column.)
The boys all seem to have found
their rhythm and harmony in the
house. But, now it’s time to show In-
fi nity who’s also in charge outside!
We don’t take too kindly to unsched-
uled jogs around the neighbourhood.
Alpha and Omega
BOWING TO THE ALPHA MALE. Alain and Infi nity have come to an agree-
ment as to who is the Alpha male in the family. Lizsa Bibeau photo

Rourke Chartier had two goals
and an assist to lead the Kelowna
Rockets to a 5-2 victory over the
Kamloops Blazers in their home
opener last Friday night. Defen-
seman Jordan Thomson had two
assists for the Blazers.
The Blazers got the game’s fi rst
goal only 3:31 into the period.
Joe Kornelsen opened the scor-
ing as Aaron Macklin and Thom-
son each picked up assists. The
Rockets replied scoring three
straight goals in the period Ri-
ley Stadel, Justin Kirkland and
Chartier made it 3-1 Rockets
through one period. The Rockets
outshot the Blazers 15-5 in the
fi rst period.
In the second, the Blazers settled
in and cut the lead to 3-2. Cole
Ully put home a rebound from a
shot by Thomson 5:06 into the
period. The Blazers had their
chance late in the period to tie it
up, Matt Needham was awarded
a penalty shot, but he rang his
shot off the post and wide to keep
it a 3-2 game headed into the
third period. The Blazers outshot
the Rockets 16-10 in the period.
The Rockets gave themselves
a cushion only 57 seconds into
the third period. A bad turnover
in the Blazers zone led to Nick
Merkley feeding Austin Glover
for a one-timer and a 4-2 lead.
The Blazers tried to muster up
a comeback but couldn’t as they
gave up an empty net goal and
fell 5-2 in their home opener to
the Kelowna Rockets.
Taran Kozun took the loss in goal
for the Blazers making 29 saves,
while Jordon Cooke earned the
win for the Rockets making 27
saves. The Rockets were 1-for-6
on the power play, while the Blaz-
ers fi nished 0-for-4.
Tyson Baillie had two goals and
two assists including one into an
empty net for a 5-2 win over the
Blazers for the second straight
night on Sat.Sept. 21.
The Blazers had a solid fi rst peri-
od despite the lopsided shot total
of 14-7 in favour of the Rockets.
Tim Bozon had the best chance
of the period going in alone on
Jordon Cooke but being denied
twice. Mitch Friesen also had a
break, but couldn’t beat Cooke.
The second period was no dif-
ferent as the Blazers had the
best chances early on. In the fi rst
minute, Tristan Sieben pounded
a rebound off the crossbar. Joe
Kornelsen got the Blazers on
scoreboard fi rst as Aspen Sterzer
charged to the net and Kornelsen
found the rebound to make it 1-0
Blazers. The Rockets replied
shortly later as the Blazers got
caught in the Rockets zone. Nick
Merkley eventually put home a
rebound to tie the game up. The
Blazers had a terrifi c chance
shortly after but Cooke robbed
Ully in front of the net. The
Rockets went back the other way
and got a bounce a Jesse Lees
high shot got knocked down right
onto the stick of Linakar for an
open net and a 2-1 lead through
two periods.
The Rockets came out ready
to play in the third period and
scored back to back power play
goals in the fi rst less than 30
seconds apart to make it a 4-1
lead only 3:13 in the period. The
Blazers fourth line went out there
and did its job as Mitch Friesen
took a shot on net and Mitch Li-
pon scored his fi rst WHL goal on
a rebound to cut the lead to 4-2.
The Rockets added an empty net
goal for a second straight night to
make it a 5-2 fi nal.
Bolton Pouliot made 37 saves
taking the loss in goal, while Jor-
don Cooke had the win with 24
saves.
The power plays were the dif-
ference in this one as the Rockets
capitalized going 2-for-5 while
the Blazers were 0-for-5.
The Blazers have two games in
Prince George this Friday and
Saturday night.

One of the largest music festivals
to ever hit this province returns in
2014. Pemberton Music Festival
2014 is set for July 18 to 20. After
a fi ve-year hiatus, the three-day
contemporary music festival is re-
turning to Pemberton.
Artist lineup details have yet to
be announced but expect to see
a wide spectrum of rock, indie,
hip-hop, EDM, all anchored by
top-level headliners. Lineup an-
nouncements are expected to be
made beginning in January.
In 2008, more than 40,000 peo-
ple attended the festival’s inau-
gural year, which was headlined
by artists that included Coldplay,
Jay-Z, Nine Inch Nails, Dead-
mau5, Tom Petty, and the Flam-
ing Lips.
Huka Entertainment CEO A.J.
Niland said people can expect
big names to headline Pemberton
Music Festival 2014.
“Expect a world-class lineup,”
he said. “Expect it to be on cali-
bre with the previous event.”
The 2014 festival will run with a
maximum capacity of 40,000 peo-
ple and include space for 25,000
to camp on-site, as well as off-site
hotel lodging options, in collabo-
ration with traditional lodging
options in nearby Whistler. Non-
camping patrons will have access
to a variety of festival-supplied
transportation options, including
shuttles from Whistler.
The festival will run for fi ve
nights beginning Wed. July 16.
The plan for the fi rst couple eve-
nings is for a more relaxed vibe
that will let people set up camp
and prepare for the main event.
The festival will then offi cially
begin Fri. July 18. That will mark
the fi rst of three nights worth of
headliners and high-calibre en-
tertainment playing four stages
plus a fi fth in the campground.
A limited number of “Founder’s
Program” tickets go on sale Sept.
27 at 9 a.m. Those three-day gen-
eral admission tickets at $189
and include an amenities bundle
that’s only available to Founder’s
Program ticket buyers.

Brock Balson was the hero last
weekend, scoring four goals and
three assists on the weekend
He began in Princeton last Fri-
day night scoring twice and get-
ting two assists to lead the Storm
to a 5-4 win over the Posse.
The game got off to a lopsid-
ed start with Kamloops scoring
three unanswered goals in the
fi rst period.
Balson got the visitors on the
stat sheet fi rst with a goal at
11:53. Rourke O’Briain scored
their second goal at 10:59, then
Balson scored again – on the
power play – at 5:32 to give the
visiting team a 3-0 lead after the
fi rst period.
The second period saw a shift
and a spark.
Princeton got past Storm goalie
Nolan Munden to make it 3-1 at
13:05 of the middle frame. Princ-
eton’s second goal came with just
1:37 left on the clock.
The third period saw the home
team battle back and tie the game
at 3-3 at 13:41 then take a 4-3
lead at 7:37.
A butt-ending call against Princ-
eton’s Brayden Horcoff for four-
minutes at 6:11 gave Kamloops
the edge they needed to tie the
game at 4-4 at 5:36 with a power
play goal by Daniel Buchanan
then take the lead with a goal by
Luke Gordon at 4:49 on the same
power play.
With 1:15 left in the game, a
Princeton time out and pulling
goalie Harrison Whitlock for an
extra man was just not enough
for the home team to tie the
game, as Kamloops took the 5-4
win. Princeton outshot the Storm
40-30.
Saturday saw the Storm back in
their old stopping grounds as they
took on the Osoyoos Coyotes and
came out with a decisive 7-3 win.
Buchanan opened the scoring
just 3:10 into the fi rst period.
Less than three minutes later, the
Coyotes tied the game then took
a 2-1 lead less than two minutes
after that. Bobby Kashluba tied
the game for the Storm less than
two minutes later. The Coyotes
took the lead with a power play
goal with 4:31 remaining on the
clock before Balson scored – on
the power play – to tie the game
back up at the end of 20 minutes.
Josh Rasmussen scored the only
goal of the middle frame – on the
power play – to give Kamloops
a 4-3 lead after 40. Brett Watkin-
son scored 46 seconds into the
third period to give the Storm a
5-3 lead. Kashluba and Balson
put the game away with a goal
each in the last half of the period,
helping Kamloops to a 7-3 win.
The Storm outshot the Coyotes
46-34.
Sunday saw the Storm face off
against their division rivals, the
Chiefs, in Kelowna, come home
with a 5-4 win.
After a scoreless fi rst period, the
Chiefs opened the scoring 2:19 in
to the second period, but Gordon
tied the game less than four min-
utes later. Kelowna took the lead
halfway through the period but
Felix Larouche got that one back
for the Storm 3:10 later. Spencer
Schoech gave Kamloops the go-
ahead goal with 2:45 remaining in
the period for a 3-2 lead after 40.
Watkinson extended the Storm’s
lead 3:12 into the third period but
Kelowna answered back 2:13 lat-
er. The Chiefs tied it up 4-4 with
6:41 remaining in the period but
Ian Chrystal stopped the game
from going into OT with the win-
ning goal with just 47 seconds
left on the clock for a 5-4 win.
The Storm outshot the Chiefs 38-
31 on the night.
Kashluba leads the team in scor-
ing with fi ve goals and four as-
sists. He ranks sixth in the league
after the team’s fi rst fi ve games
on the season. Gordon is next
with three goals and six assists
while Balson has four goals and
four assists after playing four
games with the team.
The Storm are back in town
for a two-game home-stand this
weekend; they face off against
the North Okanagan Knights on
Fri. Sept. 27; then are up against
the Golden Rockets on Sat. Sept.
28. The puck drops at 7 p.m. both
nights at the Sports Centre.

Thomas the Tank, the little engine that could, will soon be chugging
away again in an Australian city after he was rescued from a suspected
drug den.
The small wooden train was a main attraction for kids at Goulburn,
New South Wales’ Historic Waterworks Museum, until it washed
away in fl ood waters three years ago.
At the time,the local council had launched a search campaign to fi nd
Thomas, but it was only three years later that police found the train in
a house they were searching for evidence of a drug lab.
Thomas didn’t seem too traumatized by his experience in the world
of drugs, perhaps because he’s a wooden toy. However, that didn’t
stop Goulburn police from releasing an animated statement about how
Thomas was doing when they found him.
“Thomas the Tank Engine is currently assisting Goulburn police with
their inquiries into his whereabouts for the past three years,” the state-
ment said.
“He is expected to make a full recovery and will receive a fresh coat
of paint by council staff at the depot before he rejoins his steam train
friends at the local Waterworks in a couple of weeks.”
Let’s hope Thomas stays away from any “puffi ng,” aside from his
steam engine.

Badger Baby and Badger Kids sunscreen recalled
Health Canada has recalled two children’s sunscreens due to con-
tamination with a trio of bacteria that can cause serious infections.
Badger Baby SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and Badger Kids SPF 30
Sunscreen Lotion are being recalled in Canada. Additional lots are
being recalled in the U.S., which Canadian travellers may have
purchased.
Manufacturer W.S. Badger Company Inc. says the microbes
found cause pneumonia, meningitis and infections of the blood,
bone, urinary tract and gastrointestinal system.
Those with weakened immune systems from such conditions as
cystic fi brosis, cancer or diabetes, or with burns or other skin con-
ditions, have a heightened risk of infection.
In healthy consumers, bacteria can enter the body through cuts
and burns and may cause skin and blood infections, as well as eye
and outer ear infections.
Parents who purchased affected lots of sunscreen should return
the product to the point of purchase.
The sunscreens were found to contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Candida parapsilosis and Acremonium fungi, but no adverse reac-
tions from use of the products have been reported to Health Canada
or the company.
Badger Baby SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and Badger Kids SPF 30
Sunscreen Lotion were sold across Canada. Two importers have
been identifi ed: Purity Life Health Products in Acton, Ont., and
Christmas Natural in Burnaby, B.C.
The Canadian recall affects Badger Baby sunscreen lots 3057A
and 3132A and Badger Kids sunscreen lot 3164A.
The U.S. recall also includes “Baby” sunscreen lots 3024A,
3063A, 3063B, 3132A and 3133A.
