TRU student, friend win Amazing Race Canada A Thompson Rivers University tourism student and his teammate
were winners of the second season of The Amazing Race Canada. The
season fi nale aired on CTV Sunday, Sept. 21.
After trekking 40,000 kilometers across Canada, Macau, Hong Kong
and France, Pete Schmalz and childhood friend Mickey Henry split
the $250,000 grand prize, and each received a Chev truck, free fl ights
for a year on Air Canada, and free gas for life from Petro-Canada.
Originally from Parry Sound, Ont., Henry is founder of wakeboard park
and Schmalz is a construction worker now studying tourism and hotel
management at TRU. Driven by the motto “Long hair, don’t care,” the
duo proved to be among the more fun and relaxed teams. The 24-year-
olds beat out B.C. bartenders Ryan Steele and Rob Goddard, and Cana-
dian Olympic hockey players Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson.
Oddly enough, Schmalz and Henry never won any of the legs except
for the last one, though they did have a few podium fi nishes as they
steadily improved along the way, while Spooner and Mikkelson won
seven of the race’s 11 legs.
When they learned they were the fi rst team to cross the fi nish line, Schmalz
and Henry celebrated their accomplishment by dropping their pants.
“I can’t believe we did it, man,” Schmalz said. “My life is just heading in a
completely different direction!”

EXERCISE CAUTION NEAR SCHOOLS,PLAYGROUNDS: RCMP
Kamloops RCMP are reminding drivers to exercise caution around
schools now that all schools are back in session this week.
“Now that BC’s public schools are offi cially beginning the school
year, drivers can expect to see an increase in the number of children
and vehicles around our schools,” said Superintendent Denis Boucher,
Offi cer in Charge BC RCMP Traffi c Services. “We want to remind
drivers that all school zones will now be in effect and that they are
required to obey speed limits during school hours.”
School zones speed limits are 30km/h between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Penalties for speeding in school zones range from $196 to $483.
All playground zones, which require reduced speed, remain in effect
from dawn until dusk.

HoroscopesSeptember 29 - October 5, 2014
Enthusiasm for what you believe has future possibilities will be at an all-time high this week. Give & take between you & others will seem easier, if not expected by them, ‘til late-Oct. What they really think can become diffi cult to ascertain as they can become more secretive. Be cautious about taking on obligations now.
Greater focus on your health, fi tness, diet & exercise may be wise from this week ‘til Oct. 24, esp. if there has been a lot of social activity of late that has seen you overindulging. Someone may express their opinion harshly, making you realise there may be aspects to them that are very different to what you presumed.
More opportunity for leisure, pleasure or social activity can be-gin to present itself from this week & for the next month. You may also meet some interesting people but maintain caution when it comes to instant attraction or swiftly made promises. Apply a strict analytical process to details of some sort.
You’ll begin to feel this week that you can apply a balanced ap-proach to whatever you have considered during Sept. that needs a better structure established. Someone else will likely want some sort of control but perhaps it is time they learned that you won’t necessarily bend to their wishes entirely. Stay strong.
Start thinking about taking a more balanced approached to dis-tractions that come your way. You have likely been lazy on this score during Sept. In your mind you need to take a yes or no approach & allow no grey shades to enter into what needs to be established. This can save you a lot of time in the long run.
Start to feel happier about being able to sort things out in your mind in a practical way. You can feel more decisive though there will be more than one stage to matters. You may need to spend more money than you expected this week. Be alert to impulse spending – rather wait to give time for urgency to pass.
Venus, your ruling planet, moves into your sign this week where it will remain ‘til Oct 24. This should make you happy as well as give a sense of getting back to your old self if this hasn’t seemed to be the case of late. At the same time you’ll be dealing with pressure. Battle it out with discussions to gain a fair outcome.
Mercury, the planet of communication, has moved into your sign, where it will remain for its fi rst stay ‘til Oct. 11. This will encourage some serious thinking about your personal position or anything that involves you, as well as commitments attached. Not everything is out in the open, so have patience.
Expect the unexpected this week, & while you may have to quickly take advantage of opportunity as it arises, you also need to be very cautious about being reckless. Someone else won’t be as open as you & it’ll be diffi cult to know exactly where they stand. It’s important you don’t give up independence for them.
Consider the things you have learnt that have led to changing you as a person, particularly when it comes to a strengthening of character. Obligations will be involved somehow. This may include greater awareness of what you shouldn’t take on. You can fi ne tune & balance this out over the next month. Go to it.
Start focussing your mind on commitments this week in a seri-ous way. There’ll be more than one stage before you’ll get it settled. When you get an idea, fi nd some quiet time to yourself to analyse where it could go in the long term or how you could be affected long term. Others have greater freedom.
If you feel someone is drifting away, it’s because they’ve found you vague or changeable. Not that they’ll be direct about it. This week, start to focus in a straightforward manner on what you are realistically prepared to commit yourself to in the long term. You may need some help later, to fi ll in the details.

It has been a long summer. Any
parent in BC knows this because
of the teacher’s strike, extending
summer vacation by a month, and
bringing every parent to the brink
of madness with their bored/anx-
ious/crazy children. A collective
cheer erupted last week as the
teachers voted to return to work,
and all teachers, parents, and stu-
dents were relieved to get back to
school.
Being a coordinated (ahem,
anal) mother, I needed structure
weeks ago. And so, I did a make-
shift version of homeschooling
for Zachary. Bedtime was back to
the school bedtime of 7:30 p.m.
Wake-up time was 7 a.m. And so,
Zachary’s homeschooling sched-
ule began when public school
was supposed to start.
Each day, Zachary would
wake up as I was getting ready
for work, have breakfast, do
the dishes and proceed with the
“lessons” I structured for him.
He would do a math workbook,
read a chapter or two of his novel
(currently Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire), and write a mini-
book report on said chapter.
However, I decided he needed
to learn more – in the ways of re-
search and reports. Together, we
decided on the topic of France. I
printed off many pages of research
information (and gave Zachary
access to the computer for further
research if he wanted), and gave
a list of topics that were to be in-
cluded in this report. Zachary was
eager to start it all, and loved it!
(He is defi nitely my child!)
Alas, upon this fi rst week of
being back to school, my home-
school routine has fallen by the
wayside, the six pages of the
France report lay untouched in a
pile on his desk, and math book
lay closed – as Zachary has be-
gun to be reacquainted with his
school, friends, and teachers.
Autumn is offi cially here. Stu-
dents are back to school. Activi-
ties are underway. It’s good to be
back to school.
Back to school blues
M O N K E Y I N G AROUND. Zach-
ary is happy to be
back in school,
reacquainting him-
self with his teach-
ers and classmates
and the school
itself – especially
the playground
equipment – par-
ticularly the mon-
key bars.Lizsa Bibeau photo

clock to make it 4-2 after 40. The
Leafs tied it back up with two
unanswered goals – one on the
power play – less than three min-
utes apart just 2:36 into the third
period to send the game to OT.
Bazian proved the hero scoring
the winning goal with 1:45 left
on the clock to give the Storm the
5-4 OT win.
Bailey De Palma stopped 32 of
the 36 shots he faced on the night.
The Storm and Leafs were even
on the shot clock on the night.
Chrystal scored a hat trick, in-
cluding the game-winner in OT
on Sun. Sept. 21, when the Storm
travelled across the 49th Parallel
to take on the Spokane Braves.
Chrystal opened the scored just
1:16 into the game to give Kam-
loops an early 1-0 lead then Ke-
aton Gordon scored a power play
goal with 50 seconds remaining
in the fi rst period to make it 2-0
after 20. The Braves came back
and scored 5:13 into the second
frame but Chrystal scored his
second goal of the evening on
the power play just 38 seconds
later to make it 3-1. The Braves
fought back with a power play
goal of their own with 2:41 re-
maining on the clock to make it
3-2 after 40. The Braves tied the
game 1:14 into the third frame to
send the game into OT. Chrys-
tal scored his hat trick goal with
1:12 remaining in the extra frame

win. Jason Sandhu stopped 33 of
36 shots on goal he faced for the
Storm win. Kamloops outshot
Spokane 46-36 on the night.

Fri. Sept. 26: at Victoria
Sat. Sept. 27: at Victoria
The Blazers opened the 2014-
15 WHL season scoring a goal
in the fi rst minute on home ice to
win 6-3 over the Victoria Royals
in their home-opener last Friday
night at the Interior Saving Cen-
tre.
The Blazers had a real good
fi rst period. Matt Revel opened
the scoring 52 seconds into the
game batting a puck in mid-air
past goaltender Coleman Voll-
rath to make it 1-0 for the Blaz-
ers. Josh Connolly made it 2-0 on
the power play as he fi red a shot
past Vollrath.
The Royals had their chances in
the fi rst period, but 20-year-old
goaltender Bolton Pouliot was
solid. Matt Needham made it 3-0
at the end of the power play as
he put in a rebound off the end
boards. The Blazers took a com-
manding 3-0 lead into the second
period.
The Royals got on the score-
board scoring on a rebound to
cut the Royals defi cit to 3-1. Jake
Kryski replied midway through
the period scoring his fi rst WHL
goal. The 16-year-old forward
scored off the rush on a shot that
beat Vollrath on the glove-side to
make it 4-1.
After the goal, the Royals made
a goaltender change as Vollrath
left the game stopping 10 of 14
shots, and 17-year-old Evan
Smith got his fi rst taste of action.
The Royals responded shortly
after Kryski’s goa as a shot de-
fl ected off a Blazers defender
and past Pouliot to make it 4-2
through two periods.
The fi rst goal of the third period
was pivotal for the Blazers. Luke
Harrison won a race to the puck
and put a shot on goal. Revel was
there to score his second goal of
the game to give the Blazers a
5-2 third-period lead.
The Royals scored a power play
marker 6:56 into the third period
on a terrifi c shot to cut the Blaz-
ers lead to 5-3. Cole Ully iced the
game with 12:02 to go. He scored
on a quick shot to give the Blaz-
ers a 6-3 win.
Revel had two goals and an as-
sist, while Ully and Connolly
each picked up a goal and an
assist. Kryski picked up his fi rst
career WHL goal and an assist in
the game. Pouliot was outstand-
ing in goal for the Blazers with
30 saves on the 33 shots he faced.
Evan Smith fi nished with 16
saves for the Royals.
The Blazers were 1-for-4 on
the power play, while the Royals
were 1-for-5.
The Kelowna Rockets got goals
from six different players as the
Kamloops Blazers were beaten
6-1 last Saturday night in Kelow-
na.
The Rockets got off to a quick
start in the game as they scored
three goals in the fi rst 10:56 of
the game to chase goaltender
Pouliot from the net and give the
Rockets a 3-0 fi rst period lead.
Pouliot stopped six of nine shots
and 17-year-old Connor Ingram
made his WHL debut stopping all
six shots he faced in the second
half of the fi rst period.
The Blazers were ready to go
in the second period and scored
nine seconds in. Patrik Maier
fl ipped a puck forward to Need-
ham who fed Deven Sideroff for
a goal as the Blazers had life, de-
spite trailing 3-1.
The next goal was pivotal, and
the Rockets got it as Tyson Bail-
lie was left alone in front and
scored 2:30 into the second pe-
riod to restore the Rockets three-
goal lead.
The Blazers had their chances
in the period, but goaltender
Jackson Whistle was rock solid
for the Rockets. He robbed Ully
point blank and stopped a great
chance by Jesse Zaharichuk late
in the period.
The Rockets built on their lead
with 4:20 to play in the period.
Tyson Baillie made a great pass
to a streaking Kris Schmidli as he
batted it past Ingram to give the
Rockets a 5-1 lead through two
periods.
Again, the Blazers created
chances in the third period, but
were stonewalled by Whistle.
Carter Rigby rounded out the
scoring by one-timing a shot past
Ingram on a power play to make
it a 6-1 fi nal.
The Blazers fi nished the night
0-for-6 on the power play, while
the Rockets were 2-for-7. The
Rockets outshot the Blazers 39-
33.
Ingram played the last 49:04
minutes and stopped 27 of 30
shots. Whistle was the game’s
fi rst star in turning aside 32 of 33
shots he faced.
The Blazers are in Victoria this
weekend to face off against the
Royals.
Blazers open season with decisive 6-3 win over Royals

You’re out of bread, can’t fi nd
a water bottle and the school bus
will arrive in four minutes. Is this
a familiar scenario in your house?
If making your child’s lunch
seems stressful, here are fi ve tips
to ensure their lunchbox is fi lled
with healthy, quick options.
THINK ABOUT BALANCE: Use a
lunch container with divided
compartments, so you remember
to add the four food groups:
• Vegetables and Fruit: such as
carrots, grapes and watermelon
• Grain Products: such as whole
grain bread, corn bread and bulgur.
• Milk and alternatives: such as cheese, milk and yogurt.
• Meat and alternatives: such as tofu, eggs and chicken.
STOCK CONVENIENT ITEMS: You can still include whole grains without
preparing ingredients from scratch! Use whole grain breads, wraps
and crackers to get Canada’s Food Guide’s recommended Grain Prod-
ucts at lunchtime. Choose foods that list 100 per cent whole grain as
the fi rst ingredient.
USE THE FREEZER: Stock your freezer with items that can be defrosted
for quick lunches:
• Quick-to-cook vegetables like
peas as great additions to grain-
based salads.
• Whole grain breads for quick
sandwiches and wraps.
• Sliced peaches, pineapple or
mango for fruit salad or kebabs.
• Convenience tip: you can pre-
pare and freeze soy butter and
jam sandwiches, which can be
slipped into lunch bags as-is –
they will defrost by lunch!
Organize a snack drawer: For
easy snacks, pre-fi ll containers
with trail mix made with soy
nuts, raisins and whole grain ce-
reals. You can also have a snack drawer in the fridge, fi lled with ready-
to-go Greek yogurt, cheese strings or hummus cups.
Have a “go-to” lunch: When supplies are low, don’t stress. Have a
staple lunch in mind – one that’s made from on-hand ingredients. A
simple go-to lunch is whole grain crackers, cheese cubes and soy but-
ter, artfully arranged in paper muffi n cups in a square container. With
some fruit on the side, lunch is ready.
