Christmas Amalgamated will
open its doors for the 2013 holi-
day season on Nov. 12 at 24
– 1800 Tranquille Rd. (the old
Bodyworks location in Brock
Shopping Centre).
Christmas Amalgamated acts
as a clearing house for service
groups and individuals that pro-
vide hampers to people who need
them. The centralised service
prevents families from receiving
more than one hamper from dif-
ferent service groups and helps
ensure those in need are not left
out. The organisation was cre-
ated 35 years ago, and today
almost all the service groups in
Kamloops participate, accord-
ing to Sally Whitson, Christmas
Amalgamated co-ordinator.
Christmas Amalgamated relies
on donations for the hampers and
a gift for each registered child.
“This year could be a real rough
year; donations aren’t what
they usually are,” Whitson said.
“We’re seeing a lot more low in-
come people registering over the
past few years – some for the fi rst
time – and this year looks like it
will be the same.”
As usual, Christmas Amalgam-
ated is in need of gifts for teen
boys and babies.
“We’re not just talking about
things for newborns,” Whitson
said. “What we’re looking for are
developmental toys for the little
ones that they can play with. As
for the teens, we get lots for girls
because they’re cute and frilly,
but the boys seem to be left out.”
When it comes to donations
of foodstuffs, Whitson is asking
people to “think Christmas.”
“We want to give the people
the means to prepare a Christmas
dinner,” she related. “So we’re
looking for food that people
would traditionally serve their
families for Christmas dinner.”
To register your family, you
must do so in person (you cannot
register someone else’s family
for them). You must bring proof
of income (paystub or form from
welfare). Once approved, the
parent can then “shop” in the toy
room, choosing one toy for their
child, which they can take home
and wrap themselves. The week
before Christmas, arrangements
are made for a food hamper to
be delivered right to the family’s
door. The fi rst year the organisa-
tion delivered 100 hampers; last
year, Christmas Amalgamated
distributed more than 1,700 ham-
pers to the area’s needy families.
Christmas Amalgamated hours
are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for regis-
tration, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for
donations.
For information regarding reg-
istering for a hamper, making a
donation, adopting a family, or
volunteering, call 250-376-0777.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
As November begins, two
months of school are all but com-
plete. After the stressful school
year, last year with Zachary, we
were eager to learn how he was
doing in his new, English school.
Although, Zachary seemed hap-
pier, and more self-confi dent, I
was really waiting for the teacher
confi rmation, before I started to
jump for joy. And so, we had our
parent/ teacher meeting.
Over the past eight weeks of
school, I have seen Zachary in-
creasingly happier. He has new
friends – one that lives just a
few doors down from us; he has
told me how he understands the
teacher’s instructions and assign-
ments, how he loves math, and I
have seen that he is exceptional
at spelling after bringing home
100 per cent on his weekly tests –
for many weeks. (Sorry, I had to
gush a little bit.) But still, I was
reserved in waiting until I spoke
with the teacher – as before when
I thought “no news was good
news,” it wasn’t the case.
I noticed immediately that Zach-
ary’s teacher, Mr. Duncan, liked
Zachary with regard to their inter-
action. It was like Zachary was his
“Little Buddy.” It was refreshing.
Throughout the meeting, Mr.
Duncan confi rmed that Zach-
ary was doing well in the class-
room, including math, spelling,
and reading, much to my relief.
The past anxiety issues were also
mentioned to keep an eye on as
Zachary has started to panic once
or twice when he misunderstood
the assignment – but defi nitely
not an issue as it was last year.
It was also brought to our at-
tention of how much of a char-
acter that Zachary can be in the
classroom. While laughing (quite
hard), the teacher continued to
tell us stories of how Zachary
will just stand up and announce
random things while everyone is
working, such as, “I’m on ques-
tion 15!” We all had quite a laugh
and noted that that sounded very
much like Zachary. (We have
since advised our little class
clown that he shouldn’t be dis-
turbing the other students.)
I am quite happy, and relieved,
that Zachary has adjusted very
well in his new school. It is very
refreshing to know that he is im-
proving, and striving to learn in
this new environment. (Knock
on wood!) Now, to keep an eye
out for further antics in the class-
rooms! I look forward to the next
report card.
HoroscopesNovember 11 - November 17, 2013
You may fi nd a unique way to deal with pressure being applied by somebody else for you to accept some sort of obligations or re-sponsibilities. You need to keep your wits about you because there is strong determination on their part & there may also be hidden facts you would discover later. Be mindful of all the details.
Any desire to signifi cantly transform your long-term future will re-quire some radical endings. You may already be aware of this & will now come to accept it as part of the way things need to balance themselves out. Other people can play a strong role with a willing-ness to assist or support you. Important priorities can remain in place.
You can move forward with anything that’s demanded careful at-tention since late Sept. If you’ve been patient & methodical you’ll now realise exactly the right thing to do. If you’ve been lazy, you may make commitments that’ll turn into a lot more work than you anticipate or cost you more money than is necessary.
You can at last be lucky with something you want to develop or pursue in the future. After stops & starts since late Sept. matters should now move forward to early Dec. With this can come a greater sense of personal fi nancial security. Someone who thinks they have power can be frustrated at their lack of control here.
Anything you’ve been trying to put into place over the last month where you have wanted response from others can now start to take shape. There’s still an unknown element though development should be favourable if you ensure there is proper focus on getting a good foundation in place. Controlling details will infl uence the future.
Clarity on a situation involving others can arise – this may occur through a chance comment or it may mean it will open the door to more open discussion. Much of this will need to be generated by you. It can be a major turning point in dealing with others that can have a signifi cant impact in your life for many years in the future.
You determination to set things in place in a way that you consider creates the right sort of balance may not be appreciated by some-body else, esp. if it restricts their freedom of choice in some way. You have not come to this lightly & will need to be prepared to fi ght for your rights as others will not give up in a hurry.
You can now go ahead with decisions that you have perhaps been trying to fi nalise during Oct. Clarity about what is possible as well as optimism in being able to make things a solid reality will combine. Your thought processes will be well balanced & defi nite though you may have to deal with rebellious challenges.
Matters start to move forward after many hold-ups that have been because of others not having a clear impression of the direction they would follow. There hasn’t been much you’ve been able to do about it because details were unknown to you. Agreements can be forth-coming that are pleasing, though the whole picture won’t be clear.
Your personal considerations this week, esp. about anything you need to alter about yourself or what effects, you’ll play a role in your life ‘til March. You’ll be setting things in motion that will continue to develop but which you won’t have the opportunity to alter once set in motion. This is why you need to think seriously.
Whatever you’ve learned about yourself or situations that have involved you can now be very useful in regard to plotting future goals. In part this can involve your health & if you’ve learned to take care of yourself properly you can now move on, even han-dling greater levels of responsibility without it causing a problem.
You can suddenly feel blockages are gone. You can become mentally clear in relation to matters you have been sensing. You may also be interested in taking something up again that you’ve enjoyed in the past though it wouldn’t present the same circum-stances in the future. Friends may try to infl uence you too much.

LEST WE FORGET
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fl y
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fi elds.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fi elds.

When you think of Canada’s
multicultural society and all the
freedoms and opportunities that
we experience on a daily basis,
devoting a few minutes of silence
on Remembrance Day to think of
our troops is an important and
meaningful gesture.
Our soldiers and veterans sac-
rifi ced their time, personal com-
forts, and in many cases their
lives so we could enjoy ours.
Here are some other ways that
you can show gratitude:
• WEAR A POPPY. From the
last Friday in October to Novem-
ber 11, pin a poppy on the left
lapel of your garment or as close
to the heart as possible. This will
publicly remind you of our sol-
diers’ sacrifi ces and will encour-
age others to do the same.
• WRITE TO SOLDIERS. Send
a letter or card to express your
appreciation. Mailing addresses
are listed on the Department of
National Defence website. You
can also post a message to troops
on the site’s message board.
• DONATE IN HONOUR OF A
SOLDIER. Just as the Canadian
Forces aim to bring peace and se-
curity to countries in need, consider
doing your part to help those around
the world who are suffering. Some
organizations offer a gift catalogue
where you can purchase items such
as fruit trees or insecticide treated
bed nets in honour of one of Cana-
da’s heroes. You can also personal-
ize a card and mail your thanks to a
Canadian Forces member.

Temporary changes to pedestrian access to RIH
Java Mountain News November 8, 20138
As site preparation continues
for Royal Inland Hospital’s new
Clinical Services Building, resi-
dents are advised to take note of
the following changes when ac-
cessing the hospital campus:
• All foot traffi c using the main
staircase at Third Avenue and
Columbia Street will be rerouted
west to the sidewalk alongside
St. Ann’s Academy. A pedestrian
crosswalk will be marked to pro-
vide access to the hospital’s front
entrance.
• There will be no changes to ve-
hicle access. However, motorists
should be aware that lane closures
will be in effect to accommodate
site excavation.
• Motorists are advised to use ex-
treme caution, and to slow down
for pedestrians at all times. Please
obey traffi c signs and yield to fl ag
people.
Regular pedestrian access at
Third and Columbia will be re-
stored once the current excavation
work is complete.
The pedestrian access changes
will be in effect for approximately
two weeks.
Interior Health is aware of the in-
convenience this may cause, and
appreciate the public’s patience
as this measure is temporary and
necessary for work on the Clinical
Services Building, which will ex-
pand patient care services at RIH.

Blazers win one lose two
Nick Chyzowski had a night to
remember last Saturday despite a
4-3 shootout loss to the Vancou-
ver Giants. The 16-year-old scored
two third-period goals to send the
game to overtime as the Kamloops
Blazers fell short in this one.
The Giants got off to the good
start in this one going up 1-0 only
25 seconds into the game as Blake
Orban’s fl oating point shot found
its way past goaltender Bolton
Pouliot to make it 1-0 Giants. The
Blazers had a good fi rst period
though and scored on a nice tip by
17-year-old Collin Shirley to make
it 1-1. The Blazers had a tap in to
take the lead as Josh Connolly set
up Cole Ully on the power play,
but Ully missed the net as the game
stayed 1-1 through one period.
It didn’t take long for the Giants
to take the lead back with a point
shot that rang off the crossbar
and off goaltender Pouliot and in
to make it 2-1 Giants. The Blaz-
ers had a strong second period
though, but weren’t rewarded as
they hit the post twice in the pe-
riod and outshot the Giants 12-7
in the second period.
The Blazers were coming on in
the third period and almost tied
it, but Matt Needham rang a shot
off the crossbar. An unlikely hero
emerged as Chyzowski moved
up on a line with Aspen Ster-
zer and Ully in the third period.
Chyzowski scored his fi rst WHL
goal as he tipped a Sam Grist shot
to make it 2-2 with just under
eight minutes to go. The Giants
grabbed the lead back only 1:16
later to make it 3-2. Chyzowski
did his part again as he went to
the net hard and a puck bounced
off his chest and in with 3:51
to play to make it a 3-3 game.
The Blazers’ hard work eventu-
ally paid off as they were given
a power play with 2:05 remain-
ing in the game. The best chance
came on a breakaway as Chase
Souto was sent in alone beating
goaltender Payton Lee, but his
shot hit the crossbar and stayed
out as the game went to overtime.
Overtime solved nothing and a
shootout had to determine the win-
ner. Cain Franson (of Sicamous)
scored for the Giants right off
the bat, and Matt Needham later
tied the shootout up. Brett Kulak
won it for the Giants as he was
the fourth shooter and the Giants
escaped with a 4-3 shootout win.
Pouliot was terrifi c in making
36 saves in goal against his for-
mer team to lead the Kamloops
Blazers to a 4-1 win over the Red
Deer Rebels Tuesday night.
The Blazers opened the scoring
on the power play. Chase Souto
took a hard shot from the offensive
zone faceoff dot beating goalten-
der Taz Burman to give the Blazers
an early 1-0 lead 6:35 into the pe-
riod. The Rebels had their chances
in the period as the Blazers were
sloppy at times. Pouliot was sharp
in goal making 15 saves to keep it
1-0 Blazers after one period.
Matt Needham extended the
lead for the Blazers in the middle
frame. Earlier in the game, the
18-year-old took a puck to the face
and had to leave the game, but re-
turned shortly after. Mitch Lipon
took a long shot on goal and Need-
ham went hard to the net getting a
stick on the original shot and scor-
ing on the rebound to make it 2-0
Blazers midway through the game.
The Rebels got on the scoreboard
on the power play with 2:14 to go
in the period to make it 2-1.
The Rebels came hard in the
third period and had their chanc-
es, but Pouliot was solid and his
goal posts were helpful as the
game stayed 2-1 for the Blaz-
ers. Aspen Sterzer gave the home
side some insurance streaking in
and cutting across the middle be-
fore scoring his ninth goal on the
season with just under nine min-
utes to go in the game. The insur-
ance goal gave the Blazers some
breathing room which seemed to
help their game as Ully added an
empty net goal to give the Blaz-
ers a 4-1 home ice win.
Ully fi nished the game with a
goal and two assists, while Souto
had a goal and an assist and de-
fensemen Connolly and Jordan
Thomson each had two assists.
Pouliot was the game’s fi rst star
making 36 saves, while Taz Bur-
man played well turning aside 31
shots.
The Blazers lost 3-1 to the Silver-
tips Wednesday night in Everett.
The fi rst period was dominated
by the Silvertips and it showed on
the shot clock as they outshot the
Blazers 17-6 in the period. Taran
Kozun was in goal for the Blazers
and was terrifi c making a few good
early saves to keep it a scoreless
game. The Silvertips got on the
scoreboard on a 4-on-3 power play.
A shot was blocked by a Blazers
defender but then off a ‘Tips player
and in to make it 1-0 Everett with
only 50 seconds left in the period.
The Silvertips kept it coming
in the second period as they took
advantage of a turnover to make
it 2-0 ‘Tips. The ‘Tips added to
that lead with just under fi ve min-
utes to go in the period to make it
3-0. Sterzer had a great chance at
the end of the period off a terrifi c
pass from defenseman Jordan
Thomson. Sterzer took the puck
to the net on a breakaway, but
was hauled down and unable to
get a shot on goal. There was no
penalty called on the play.
The Blazers pushed at times in
the third period but ultimately it
was too late in this one. Sterzer
scored a late goal again taking the
puck hard to the net and scoring
his 10th goal of the season with
Ryan Rehill recording the lone as-
sist on the play. It was all the Blaz-
ers had as they were outshot 38-
18 in the game and outscored 3-1.
The Silvertips enjoyed fi ve
power plays on the night includ-
ing a 5-on-3 and were 1-for-5 on
the power play. The Blazers had
a shortened power play for 1:22
and fi nished 0-for-1.
Kozun played well in goal de-
spite the loss making 35 saves,
while Daniel Cotton had a rela-
tively easy night with 17 saves.
The Blazers are home to host two
weekend games, against he Ed-
monton Oil Kings Friday ad the
Prince George Cougars on Sunday.

After the season with a 13-3-
0-0 record with a six-game win-
ning streak, the KIJHL Kamloops
Storm dropped their second game
in a row to start off the month,
losing 6-4 to the expansion-team
100 Mile House Wranglers at the
Sports Centre last Friday night in
their only game of the week.
The Wranglers lead 1-0 after
the fi rst period with a power play
goal while Josh Rasmussen was
off for slashing, with less than
six minutes left on the clock. The
Wranglers extended their lead
with a goal 2:04 into the middle
frame. That goal garnered a goalie
change between the Storm pipes
as starting goalie Kyle Micha-
lovsky was pulled in favour of
Ben Giesbrecht. The change gave
the Storm some life as Felix La-
rouche put the Storm on the score-
board with a power play goal less
than six minutes later. The Wran-
glers and Josh Rasmussen of the
Storm traded goals in the last four
minutes of the period to bring
Kamloops to within one goal and
make it 3-2 Wranglers after 40.
Spenser Schoech tied the game
for the Storm 2:37 into the third
period. The Wranglers took the
lead again with a power play goal
while Bobby Kashluba was off for
boarding. Mitch Friesen got that
goal back for the Storm with less
than fi ve minutes remaining in the
game. The Wranglers capitalised
on a 5-on-3 power play while
Marc Dumont was off for hold-
ing and Daniel Buchanan went off
for boarding 29 seconds after Du-
mont’s penalty. With 27 seconds
left on the clock and Buchanan
still in the sin bin and Giesbrecht
pulled for an extra attacker, the
Wranglers sealed their win with
an empty-netter.
The Storm outshot the Wranglers
51-37.
The loss has dropped the Storm
to third spot in the league behind
the league-leading, Kootenay
conference Murdoch division
Nelson Leafs the Okanagan/Shus-
wap conference Okanagan divi-
sion Kelowna Chiefs.
The Storm still lead the Okana-
gan/Shuswap conference Birks
division with 26 points, fi ve
points ahead of the second-place
Wranglers, six points ahead of the
Chase Heat, eight ahead of the Si-
camous Eagles, and 12 ahead of
the basement-dwelling Revestoke
Grizzlies.
The Storm are on the road into
the Kootenays for three games
this weekend. They face off
against the Creston Valley Thun-
der Cats Fri. Nov. 8, the Kim-
berley Dynamiters Nov. 9, and
Fernie Ghostriders Nov. 10. The
Storm wrap up their road trip with
a game in Sicamous against the
