If a local couple has its way, people in Ka-mloops couple could soon be going into their back yards for their breakfast instead of to the store. Starting next spring, Ron and Marie Mc-Givern plan to be renting local residents chickens. If all goes according to plan, they will be renting out, and delivering, two- and four-laying hen packages, including a few large bags of feed, food and water dishes, a portable chicken coop and a set of instruc-tions. The two-hen starter package will cost $425 plus tax, while the deluxe four-hen package will cost $600 plus tax. If, at the end of the rental period, you decide you’re not meant to raise chickens, you can return everything to the McGiverns. The pair got the idea after Ron came across the website of an American company appro-priately called Rent the Chicken, which al-ready has operations across Canada and the U.S. They soon signed up to run their own operation. There are many benefits to having backyard chickens, according to Marie. ““Children in general, unless they have the opportunity to live on a farm which unfortu-nately many don’t, it’s just a really easy way to let them be connected to their food and

where it comes from and compassion with animals,” she related. As well, there are the economical and en-vironmental benefits to having chickens. A pair of hens can provide eight to 12 eggs per week, while the chickens feed on insects and

pellets and leave behind manure to fertilize your lawn or garden. The McGiverns have one more major hurdle to leap before they can put their plan into ac-tion: City Council has yet to approve back-yard chickens within city limits.

On Mon. Oct. 26, more than 45 of Kamloops’ largest employers will participate in a local hiring fair organized by Open Door Group and WorkBC, which operate the Employment Service Centres in the area. The free event will take place from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Coast Ho-tel & Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way. Registration is not re-quired at the hiring fair, which is open to all. “The Kamloops Hiring Fall Fair is the largest local hiring event of its kind in the region,” stated Open Door Group’s Mallory Bilodeau. “We are pleased to create an opportunity for employers to promote their businesses and give job seekers a chance to learn about fantas-tic career opportunities in the BC Interior.” The Kamloops Hiring Fall Fair gives job seekers the opportunity to meet face-to-face with a variety of potential employers, develop a network of local professional contacts, and help both sides to ask and answer questions. Some of Kamloops’ largest employers that have confirmed their participation include Walmart, Safeway, Investors Group, Mike Wiegle Helicopter Skiing, Tim Hortons, Tolko, Chances Casino, Moxies, Peavy Mart, and the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, to name just a few. Job seekers should show up to the event prepared. Research the companies you would like to apply to, dress appropriately, bring several copies of your résumé, and be prepared to talk about your abilities and skills. Also, practice your “elevator pitch,” which is a quick summary of your talents and why you would be a good addi-tion to their team.

Pumpkins, nuts and spice – it’s a taste of fall. Adding peanut but-ter to muffin batter packs extra protein and helps keeps the muffins moist. This recipe can also make a delicious loaf; simply bake at 350°F (180°C) for an hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.

five-spice peanut and pumpkin muffins

topping: 2 tbsp. (30 ml) large flake oats 2 tbsp. (30 ml) each pumpkin seeds and coarsely chopped peanuts 2 tbsp. (30 ml) brown sugar

muffins: 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (175 ml) whole wheat flour 1-1/4 cups (300 ml) granulated sugar 1 tbsp. (15 ml) baking powder 1-1/2 tsp. (7 ml) Chinese five-spice powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1 cup (250 ml) unsweetened canned pumpkin 1/2 cup (125 ml) peanut oil or vegetable oil 1/3 cup (75 mL) water 2 eggs 1 tsp. (5 ml) vanilla 1/3 cup (75 mL) peanut butter

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin pan. Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, peanuts and brown sugar in a small bowl, then set aside.2. In a large bowl, stir flours with sugar, baking powder, five-spice powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin with oil, wa-ter, eggs and vanilla. Then whisk in peanut butter. Pour onto flour mixture and stir just until combined. Mixture will be quite thick.3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan and sprinkle with top-ping.

HoroscopesOctober 12 - October 18, 2015Things can suddenly be out of sorts. This can include not feeling 100%. If so, it may pay you to drop any over indulgences. Be realistic about what you can manage on a daily basis. Someone else can be determined with their ideas. If this doesn’t suit, be just as forceful when it comes to resisting.

In the long term, it’ll be freedom of choice that’ll appeal to you more than anything else. This may be something you’re now be-ginning to realise. It can’t happen automatically & will require some detailed planning. Focus on this now though it can take quite some time to fully mature.

It may be difficult to know the level of support you can expect. While you’d rather focus on the pleasurable side of life there’s more of a need to get something into place. This may be connected to home or family matters. Establishing a solid foundation & the work it entails will give greater assurance of favourable growth.

Your ideas on how you want to establish things will strengthen considerably. If you have to deal with strong opposition, you’ll have the skills to tone it down. It’ll require good communication on your part with a variety of ideas or options. In the end, you’ll likely be able to do things your way but not without this process.

Make your own financial decisions, taking into account what’s either required or suits you best on a daily basis. Ideas someone else has may not suit you as well as it may have suited them. Realise that it may be difficult for them to fully appreciate your situation, which can include the way you choose to live life.

Feeling at peace with yourself shouldn’t be difficult to maintain, even if it’s challenged by the doubts, restlessness or rebellion from somebody else. Keep the focus on yourself & where you want life to go over the next 2 years. This isn’t the time to be-come a slave to the needs of others. It’s all about you.

Concentrate on where you find yourself & how you feel about what seems to be becoming inevitable. There are still many unknowns that’ll take time to emerge, including not knowing where somebody else truly stands. Be patient because they can’t hide it forever. Your strength is in remaining focussed.

You’ll start to come out of the dark in some way though getting your priorities completely in order can still be difficult to man-age. The advice from others will be well meaning but they’re not you & may base their opinions on what may provide an easier option. This may not be what will ultimately appeal mentally.

Much pleasure can be gained from commitments you need to handle. Finances shouldn’t be a problem if you pay attention to the finer details. Put limitations in place when it involves a group of people. Otherwise you’ll find good basic structure will be lacking, leading to confusion or mixed messages.

Take stock of what you’ve learnt about commitment since late-Aug. You have great power to transform your situation when it comes to what you want to develop long term but it’s necessary you stay centred on what you know you can manage for now. The rest will unfold in what might seem a slow process. Patience!

Find time to yourself to think about your future. You need this as an escape from the sense of not knowing what someone else will do or how they feel right now. Their frustration can be in desir-ing more freedom than life seems to be allowing them – that’s something they have to learn to manage. Don’t get entangled in it.

Enjoy the company of others, esp. if this entails being part of a group. Not everything though will be smooth sailing because there’ll be a variety of situations that can include different moods. Your best bet is to stay out of anything too complicated & stick to those who’re interested in more pleasant encounters.

The Storm started off the month with a pair of wins on home-ice. Fri. Oct. 2, saw the Storm play host to the Golden Rockets who sit in the basement of the Eddie Mountain division of the Koote-

nay conference. Robb Johnson opened the scor-ing for the Storm 12:45 into the first period. With 3:02 left on the period clock, Scott Latwat gave the Storm a 2-0 lead after the first 20 minutes. Levi Johnson made it 3-0 Storm halfway through the middle frame then Tre Sales made it 4-0 on the power play just 3:12 later. The Rockets final-ly got on the scoreboard halfway through the third period to make it 4-1 but Robb Johnson put the game away for the Storm with his second goal of the game with less than four minutes remaining to give the Storm a 5-1 win. Robb Johnson scored twice and tallied two assists to garner home-team star of the game sta-tus, while Levi Johnson scored once and got a goal and Wilson Northey tallied three assists in the win. The Storm outshot the Rockets 51-21 as Tavin Grant stopped 20 of 21 shots he faced. The following evening, the Storm were at home to Chase, doubling up on the Heat 4-2. Dario Piva opened the scor-ing for the Storm 12:08 into the game to give the home team a 1-0 lead after 20. Hunter Kero made it 2-0 Kamloops 5:39 into the middle frame, and Robb Johnson scored 3:39 later to make it 3-0. The Heat answered back with a pair of power play goals, the first with 7:05 remaining in the period while Adam Toor was off for cross checking, and the sec-ond with 1:03 left on the clock while Austin Crossley was in the sin bin for roughing. Kole Co-min scored his own power play goal 46 seconds into the third period to put the game away for the Storm with the 4-2 win. The Storm outshot the Heat 44-23 as Grant stopped 21 of 23 shots he faced in the winning effort. Last Fri. Oct. 9, the Storm host-ed the Columbia Valley Rockies of the Eddie Mountain division and came away with an identical 4-2 win. Sales opened the scoring half-way through the first period to give Kamloops an early 1-0 lead.

Ryan Chyzowski scored with 2:29 left on the period clock for a 2-0 lead but the Rockies an-swered back 18 seconds later to make it 2-1 Storm after 20. Robb Johnson made it 3-1 7:06 into the middle frame then Ryland Cher-nomaz scored with 4:01 remain-ing to make it 4-1 Storm after 40. The Rockies got the only goal of the third period on the power play with 4:31 remaining in a rough and physical third period to make it 4-2 for the Storm win. The Storm’s Austin Crossley and the Rockies’ Colton Sandboe each received five for fighting and a game misconduct after coming to blows just five minutes into the period. Comin received two for cross-checking and Northey received two for roughing in the same altercation with Michael Cardinal of the Rockies. There were a number of other minor penalties called throughout the period, then with one second remaining on the clock, another altercation, this time between the Rockies’ Donoven Quintin and Adam Toor sent both players to the sin bin for roughing while the Storm received a game miscon-duct team penalty. Grant stopped 36 of 38 shots he scored as the Rockies edged the Storm 38-25 in shots in the game. Oct. 10 saw the Storm at Si-camous to take on the Eagles and come away with a narrow 5-4 win. Kero opened the scoring 7:47 into the game to give the Storm an early lead. Piva gave the Storm a 2-0 lead after 20 with a goal of his own with 5:28 remaining in the first. The Eagles scored three back-to-back goals in 10 minutes in the middle frame to take a 3-2 lead. But Brett Watkinson an-swered back 60 seconds later to tie the game before Kero gave the Storm the lead again with his sec-ond goal of the game 2:23 later to make it 4-3 after 40. Tre Sales scored a short-handed unassisted

Blazers still winless in season The Kamloops Blazers have yet to win a game after the first six games of the 2015-2016 WHL season. The Blazers sit at the bottom of the BC division with no points after a slow start to the season. The Blazers have been outscored 27-13 in their six games and are the only team in the Western Hockey League to have yet to win a game. Here are the highlights of the teams Tyler Soy scored two goals in the second period to lift the Vic-toria Royals to a 4-2 win over the Kamloops Blazers last Friday night, Oct. 2. The Royals opened the scoring 7:46 into the first period on the power play. Chaz Reddekopp took a nice pass from Alex Fors-berg on a rush and buried his first goal of the season. Jake Kryski evened the score for the Blaz-ers with less than five minutes to play in the first period. He spun and fired a quick shot on a re-bound to make it 1-1 through the first period. Shots were 10-10. The Royals got rolling on the power play in the second period. They enjoyed a long 5-on-3 and also a 4-minute power play. The Blazers did a good job killing off

the 5-on-3 power play, but were burned on the four-minute power play. Joe Hicketts gave a quick feed to Tyler Soy as he one-timed a puck from the middle of the slot past goaltender Connor Ingram to make it 2-1 for the Royals. Hicketts then sent Soy on a par-tial breakaway with 2:10 to play in the period. Ingram made the initial save, but Soy picked up his own rebound for his second goal of the game. The Blazers trailed 3-1 through two periods. In the final frame, the Blazers just couldn’t generate enough of-fense. The Royals made it 4-1 on a lucky one as a shot from Red-dekopp was tipped off a Blazers stick and in. Nolan Kneen got scored his first WHL goal in the late stages of the game to make it a 4-2 final for the Royals. The Royals were 2-for-6 on the power play, while the Blazers fin-ished 1-for-4. Kryski and Jesse Zaharichuk each had multi-point nights as Kryski had a goal and an assist and Zaharichuk had two assists. Jack Walker picked up a goal and two assists to help the Roy-als to a 5-1 victory over the Blazers on Saturday night. Mat-thew Phillips opened the scoring 13:31 into the first period on an odd man rush. He held on to the puck and lifted a shot over the shoulder of Ingram. Regan Nagy added another goal on a rebound with 27 seconds left in the pe-riod. He finished off an odd man rush to give the Royals a 2-0 lead through the first period. The Blazers got one back mid-way through the second period. Nick Chyzowski lifted a puck high over Coleman Vollrath to cut the Royals lead to 2-1. Soy

made it 3-1 for the Royals as he batted a rebound past Ingram, and the Royals took the 3-1 lead into the second intermission. In the third period, the Royals added two more goals as Alex Forsberg scored on a rebound on the power play and Jack Walker batted one in mid-air to make it a 5-1 final for the Royals. Ingram played well for the Blaz-ers with 30 saves, while Vollrath stopped 25 shots on the night. The Royals finished 2-for-4 on the power play, while the Blazers were 0-for-3 on the night. The Kamloops Blazers scored three first period goals, but the Americans chipped away as they scored the game winner with 11:16 left in the third period for a 4-3 win over the Blazers last Wednesday. Nick Chyzowski opened the scoring for the Blazers 3:02 into the first period. He took a pass from Jermaine Loewen and took a puck to the net scoring his sec-ond goal of the season to make it 1-0 Blazers. For the Blazers, it was the first time they scored the first goal of the game and also the first lead the hockey club had held this season. The lead didn’t last long as the Americans tied the game up 1:24 later. Beau McCue tipped a point shot past goaltender Connor In-gram to make it 1-1. The Blazers got a goal from Col-lin Shirley off the rush with less than five minutes to play in the period. He went high to the glove side of goaltender Evan Sarthou to make it 2-1 for the Blazers. The Americans came right back and tied the game up 29 seconds later. Parker Wotherspoon found

a loose puck and made it 2-2. Marc McNulty gave the Blazers the lead going into the first inter-mission. His long shot found its way past Sarthou and the Blazers led 3-2 after the first period. The Americans once again came back and tied the game early in the second period. Kyle Olson’s shot beat Ingram to the stick side to make it a 3-3 game only 23 seconds into the second frame. The tie lasted the period as the two teams went into the third pe-riod knotted at 3-3. McCue gave the Americans the lead on an odd man rush. Ingram made the initial save, but McCue was there to score on the rebound to make it 4-3 for the Americans with 11:16 to play. The Blazers tried to work their way back, but the Americans were solid in their own zone. McNulty had the best chance as his shot hit an unaware Sarthou in the pad and stayed out. The Americans ended up hang-ing on for a 4-3 win. The Americans outshot the Blazers 36-30 and were 1-for-3 on the power play, while the Blazers were 0-for-2. The Blazers gave up a short-handed goal midway through the third period that stood up as the winner in a 3-1 loss to the Vic-toria Royals last Saturday night. The first period was scoreless as the Royals outshot the Blazers 11-6 in the period. Dylan Ferguson was sharp for the Blazers in goal with a big save on an odd man rush. Cole-man Vollrath was coming off a shutout the night before for the

Royals in Kelowna. The second period remained scoreless until the late stages. Matthew Phillips made a terrific move one-on-one to beat a Blazers defender and slid the puck five-hole to make it 1-0 Royals. Matt Needham came back 50 seconds later to tie the game up. He picked up a rebound and beat Vollrath to the glove side to make it 1-1.

The third period remained deadlocked at 1-1, with both teams play-ing defensive hockey. The Blazers made a costly mistake on the power play and 20-year-old Logan Fisher picked up a puck, turned and scored to make it 2-1 for the Royals with 9:12 to play. The Blazers did their best to push back, but only generated five shots in the period against the Royals. Tyler Soy added an empty net goal with three seconds to play to make it a 3-1 final. Dylan Ferguson was solid for the Blazers in goal with 27 saves, while Coleman Vollrath was up to the task making 19 saves. The Blazers were 0-for-3 on the power play, while the Royals fin-ished 0-for-4. The Blazers will get back at it Tues. Oct. 13, when they host the Red Deer Rebels. The Blazers are then on the road for three games this week, beginning in Seattle Fri. Oct. 16, when they take on the Thunderbirds. The team then travels to Spokane to face off against the Chiefs Sat. Oct. 17, then return home to face the Royals in Victoria Wed. Oct. 21. The puck drops at 7 p.m.

goal 3:54 into the third frame to make it 5-3 Storm. The Eagles came withing one goal with 3::13 remaining but couldn’t capitalise any fur-ther as the Storm held on for the 5-4 win in a game that saw the two teams even on the shot clock at 24 apiece. Grant stopped 20 of 24 shots he faced as Kero scored twice while Sales scored one and a helper in the win. Sun. Oct. 11, the Storm gave thanks as they savoured a sweet 3-0 shut-out win over the North Okanagan Knights in Armstrong. After what seemed would be a scoreless first period, Patrick Nich-olson put the Storm on the scoreboard with six seconds left on the period clock to take a 1-0 lead after 20. The second period was an actual scoreless but fast-paced physical period as pushing and shoving resulting in a number of penalties and misconducts being handed out halfway through the middle frame. Austin Crossley of the Storm and the Knights’ Kelsey Byrne each received two for roughing and a 10 minute misconduct while Dante Raposo and Trent Redschlag of the Knights both received two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct all in the same altercation, as the Storm went into the third frame with their one-goal lead. Kero made it 2-0 with a goal halfway through the third period. Sales put the game away for the Storm with a goal of his own with 42 seconds remaining in the game to give Spencer Eschyschyn a 3-0 shut-out win as he stopped all 23 shots he faced. The Storm out-shot the Knights 30-23. This weekend sees the Storm host the Summerland Steam Fri. Oct. 16, then face the Princeton Posse Sat. Oct. 17. The puck drops at 7 p.m. at the Sports Centre both nights.
