As many mommies will tell you,

there is seldom time for a mommy

to take time out for herself or have

any kind of treat. Two minutes in

the bathroom without little knuck-

les rapping on the door or screams

soaring from down the hallway is

like heaven, and usually one of

the fi rst “treats” we wish for. But

every mommy deserves some-

thing special for only herself –

and I’m not talking about the un-

conditional love (and kids’ treats

for mommy) – hugs ‘n’ kisses!

Occasionally, there have been

times when I’m able to lock my

bedroom door, open a secret bag

of gummy bears and shove a

handful of the succulent, juicy,

little bears into my mouth before

my little monsters come running

down the hall. But, Aubrielle is

very suspicious and can always

smell something when it’s amiss,

literally.

“Let me smell your mouth,” she

demands.

There is one special treat that

is strictly Mommy’s treat and the

kids know that it’s absolutely off

limits to them. It’s my Starbucks

latte. (Some of you mommies

would surely have guessed wine.)

A trip to Starbucks is a little piece

of sanity that I indulge in (rarely)

– and I absolutely refuse to buy

any kind of baked treats for the

kids while I’m there. (They get

their hands on everything. Star-

bucks is strictly mine – including

the pumpkin loaf!)

I talk about my “treats” of Star-

bucks, lattes, and coffee so often,

I have my kids drooling at the

thought and they are begging me

to taste my coffee. (OK, maybe

something went awry.)

Sometimes, I have tried to du-

plicate my own specialty coffee

drinks buying special syrups,

cocoa, peppermint squares, and

whipped cream. . . and they turn

out divine! My specialty coffees

have actually turned out to be a

favourite among my friends.

And even now, I crave the

warmth, the smell, and the silky,

sweet liquid fl owing down my

throat as I grasp the mug in my

hands – to tune out the craziness

of motherhood. It’s my little,

sanity “pill” and if my kids knew

better, they would not threaten to

take it from me!

“You said a bad word, Mommy!

You don’t get coffee!” – Aubrielle.

Take away my coffee, and I’ll

show you a bad word! HA!

HoroscopesMarch 10 - March 16, 2014

Whatever you had re-assessed about priorities & decided to move ahead with may have produced other situations that need to be con-sidered, making you realise that nothing was as simple as it seemed. You can feel at the mercy of others but you need to be careful that they don’t over-ride matters you consider have precedence.

What you need to commit to should now become more obvious as well as what is expected of you where others are concerned. You do have a choice. Being involved with a group of people will make things easier, mainly because there’ll be those who have respect for you. It can encourage others to open up more as well.

You’re in a good position to focus on the future in a logical man-ner. Giving consideration to all the smaller details is absolutely necessary as you can be tempted to take risks on impulse. The way to balance this out is to seriously look at the way any changes will alter daily routine. Be realistic about obligations attached.

Someone else won’t be too forthcoming with what they think & this can put you at odds with the action you need to take. You’ll feel restless about wanting to get things in place & easily annoyed when this doesn’t seem to happen; focus on what you can see & control for yourself.

Life can certainly be a lot more interesting for you where others are concerned, esp. the way they try to wriggle out of commit-ments you think are reasonable. It’s more about manoeuvring than it’s about openly expressing what your expectations are. That way you’ll see the games they’re prepared to play.

Conversation can fl ow easily with others & it won’t be diffi cult to discover their opinions. Whether you agree may be a different matter; give yourself time to go away & think about things with-out making your thoughts obvious. Once you’ve had enough time to do this, you could see other sides to the matter.

You see the benefi t of maintaining an optimistic attitude in your mind because it only seems logical that things eventually have to improve in time. The more patience you can muster, the better you’ll fare. You may need to fi nd ways of enjoying yourself with-out spending as much money as you normally do.

You can feel pleased with yourself, esp. where it’s been necessary to stand your ground. It’s likely produced better results than you’d hoped for. Not that the pressure will be fully released – there’s still a lot of planning on the best way to get a good foundation in place. You’ll fi nd inspiration’ll stimulate more ideas.

You’ve got things to plan with perhaps the need to gather further information. In the process you may either come across people you haven’t seen for a while or get in touch with those who’ve had connections in the past that’ll be useful to you now. Find time to yourself to put it all together.

It won’t be easy to sort out fi nancial matters involving others, mainly because they won’t want to fi t in with what you suggest. You may have been prepared to do these things in the past but fi nd it’s no longer suits the present – it’s something they have trouble accepting. There’ll be a solution but it’ll take some time yet.

Keep yourself & your own position in mind. You’ve had the chance to review things & now you have to be prepared to remain committed to what’s best for you. This’ll enable you to create a more balanced position on a personal level. The future has plenty of time to unfold.

You can gain a clear impression of how the past is likely to infl u-ence your long-term future. You’ll also know there’s a lot that can’t be fully seen right now. The main thing is to consider what you feel will be. Other people can have suggestions but they can be infl uenced by looking at matters more directly than you tend to do.

The Kamloops Blazers have

played seven straight road games

due to the Tim Hortons Brier

Canadian Men’s Curling Cham-

pionships taking over the Inte-

rior Savings Centre from March

1 to 9. The Blazers are 1-6-0-0

through their road trip.

The Hitmen scored three times

in the third period en route to

a 5-1 win over the Blazers in

Calgary, in a game that saw the

Blazers lose two veteran players,

last Friday night. Matt Bellerive

scored for the Blazers as the Hit-

men led 2-1 after two periods.

Brady Brassart had two goals for

the Hitmen and Bolton Pouliot

made 37 saves for the Blazers.

Pouliot was the starter in goal

for the Blazers and was stellar

in the fi rst period to keep the

game scoreless. He turned aside

16 shots from the Hitmen in the

period.

The second period didn’t start

well for the Blazers. Chase Sou-

to, who returned to the line-up

after missing eight games, was

unable to carry on for the second

period. The Hitmen opened the

scoring 31 seconds in to make

it 1-0 for the Hitmen. Soon af-

ter the goal, Sam Grist was lost

to the hockey club after getting

into a fi ght with Jaynen Rissling

of the Hitmen. The Blazers re-

sponded after the fi ght though as

Bellerive got one past goaltender

Mack Shields to tie the game up

at 1-1. The Hitmen broke the tie

late in the period on a one-timer

on the power play and carried a

2-1 lead into the third period.

The Blazers don’t have the depth

to keep up with quality teams and

the Hitmen poured it on in the

third period as they scored three

times en route to a 5-1 win over

the Blazers.

Pouliot had a busy night making

37 saves, while Shields was solid

for the Hitmen with 25 saves.

The Blazers fi nished 0-for-4 on

the power play, while the Hitmen

were 1-for-5.

The Tigers big line of Curtis

Valk, Curtis Sanford and Trevor

Cox combined for fi ve goals and

10 points in a 7-1 drubbing of

the Blazers in Medicine Hat last

Saturday in the Blazers’ seventh

straight road game.

The Blazers were down and out

early in this one as the Tigers

built up a 3-0 lead through one

period as the Blazers were out-

shot 16-7 in the fi rst period.

The Tigers just kept it coming

in the second period as they out-

shot the Blazers 13-9 and scored

twice to make it 5-0.

The Tigers added two more

goals in the period with both

coming on odd man rushes to

make it 7-0. The Blazers broke

Tigers’ goaltender Nick Schnei-

der’s shutout bid with 1:09 to

play as Matt Thomas fed Bel-

lerive for a one-timer that he

blasted in for his 17th goal of the

season as the Blazers fell 7-1 to

the Tigers.

Special teams did not play a fac-

tor in this one as the Tigers were

0-for-4 on the night and the Blaz-

ers fi nished 0-for-2.

After spending the last week and

a half in the USA and Alberta,

the Blazers have returned home

for a few days of practice, before

heading off on the road again for

a mid-week game against the

Giants in Vancouver, then two

games in Victoria on March 7

and 8 to conclude the long 10-

game road stretch.

Two fi nal home games will

be played on March 12 against

Kelowna and March 14 against

Prince George to close out the

season.

Blazers’ heavy road schedule continues

The Western Hockey League and the Kootenay Ice hockey club

today provided an update on Kootenay Ice player and Montreal Ca-

nadiens prospect Tim Bozon.

hospital in Saskatoon since arriving on Sunday from their home in

Cureglia, Switzerland. The family has indicated that Tim’s condi-

tion is critical.

diffi cult time.

After a slow start to their fi rst

game of the playoffs, the Kam-

loops Storm came back to take

the series over 4 games-to 1 in the

best-of-seven series to advance to

the second round of the playoffs.

The Kamloops Storm redeemed

themselves in their second playoff

game against the Eagles in a 3-1

win over Sicamous at the Sports

Centre. The Storm scored once

in each period and were well on

their way to a decisive win before

the Eagles foiled Liam McLeod’s

shutout bid when they scored with

18 seconds on the clock. Luke

Gordon scored twice and Brock

Balson got a goal in the 3-1 win-

ning effort. The Storm outshot the

Eagles 36-18.

The best-of-seven series moved

to Sicamous for games 3 and 4

Friday and Saturday.

Fri. Feb. 28, saw the Storm

come away with a 5-2 win over

the Eagles. Gordon scored twice,

Balson scored once – an empty-

netter with 40 seconds left on the

clock – and got two assists, Felix

Larouche got a goal and a helper,

and Spencer Schoech rounded out

the scoring. McLeod stopped 28

of 30 shots he faced in the 5-2 win.

Sat. March 1 saw the Storm de-

feat the Eagles win an identical

5-2 score. Larouche scored twice

and got an assist, Bobby Kashuba

scored once and got three helpers

while Schoech and Ian Chrystal

each scored in the winning effort.

The series came back to Kam-

loops for the fi fth game Mon.

March 3,which saw the Storm

double up the Eagles 6-3 for the

win to take the best of seven se-

ries 4-1.

Chrystal scored twice while

Josh Rasmussen, Stefan Wood,

Schoech and Max James each

scored in the win.

The Storm now take on the 100

Mile House Wranglers in a best-

of-seven series after the Wran-

glers took the series 4-1 over the

Chase Heat. Games 1 and 2 will

required, game 5 will be in Kam-

loops on March 14, game 6 in 100

Mile House March 15 and game 7

In the rest of the Okanagan/

Shuswap conference, it took all

seven games for the North Okana-

gan Knights to defeat the Sum-

merland Steam to advance to the

next round against the Osoyoos

Coyotes who swept the Kelowna

Chiefs 4-0 in fi rst round action.

Games begin March 7.

March is Nutrition Month – the perfect time to think about the bene-

fi ts of eating healthy foods. Small changes can pay off big by reducing

your risk, and your family’s risk, for obesity, diabetes, heart disease,

and cancer.

The Nutrition Month theme is Simply Cook and Enjoy! – and it’s all

about getting back to the basics by cooking delicious meals at home.

Home-cooked meals are healthier, less expensive, and they can bring

the whole family together. Interior Health’s (IH) registered dietitians

offer some important reasons why home cooking is good for everyone.

Healthy cooking is easy. You don’t need to be a chef to prepare

healthy meals when you have the right foods and recipes on hand.

“People who cook meals from scratch eat more fruits, vegetables,

and whole grains,” said Jill Worboys, Registered Dietitian. “Cook-

ing from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated; basic cooking skills

combined with a few tasty ideas are all you need to make healthy and

delicious meals at home.”

Need some help to get started? The Nutrition Month website (www.

nutritionmonth.ca) has some simple and delicious recipes.

Home cooking is budget-friendly. Eating at restaurants can be expen-

sive. Cooking meals at home helps save money for other important

things.

“Delicious and nutritious foods can be easy on the pocketbook. There

are many ways you can save money when cooking at home,” said

Worboys. “Planning meals ahead of time helps you make the most of

the ingredients you buy and reduces waste.”

For more great tips on how healthy cooking can be budget friendly,

visit the HealthLink BC website (http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthy-

eating/everyone/budget-eating.html).

Cooking can be a family affair. Getting the entire family involved in

cooking, especially children, teaches important life skills and healthy

eating habits.

“Children who get their hands on food and help prepare meals are

more willing to try new foods and are more likely to eat with their fami-

lies,” added Worboys. “Children benefi t in many ways when families

eat together. They perform better at school, develop a deeper sense of

belonging and security, and are less likely to smoke and use drugs.”

The 2014 Nutrition Month Campaign is dedicated to serving up

practical advice. For more nutrition information visit the Dietitians of

Canada website (http://www.dietitians.ca/Your-Health/Nutrition-A-Z/

Nutrition-Month.aspx) or you can speak with a registered dietitian at

HealthLink BC by calling 8-1-1.

City of Kamloopsacquires former Kamloops

Daily News property The City of Kamloops has announced it will acquire the former

Kamloops Daily News building and parking lot at 393 Seymour St.

for future development of downtown parking infrastructure.

The cost of the transaction, which is expected to be complete at

the end August this year, is $4.8 million, will be funded by parking

revenues and reserves earmarked for parking infrastructure.

In the short-term, there will be no visual changes to the site, but the

City will begin considering design concepts for future development.

“The Daily News site was an initial respondent to the Downtown

Parking Expression of Interest and with the closure of their operation

we have the opportunity to acquire the entire site,” related Mayor

Peter Milobar. “The central location makes it an excellent spot to add

more parking to downtown.”

Buchanan receives two divisional awards

The KIJHL handed out its divisional awards last week for the 2013-

2014 season, and a Kamloops Storm player came away with two hon-

ours in the Doug Birks division.

Daniel Buchanan received the nod as the Top Defenseman and the

Most Valuable Player.

The Chase Heat’s Kaleb Boyle was Top Scorer while Kris Joyce of

the Sicamous Eagles was named Top Goaltender.

The 100 Mile House Wranglers had three players receiving hard-

ware: Lane Van De Wetering as Most Sportsmanlike; Luke Santero

as Rookie of the Year, while Doug Rogers got the nod as Coach of

the Year.
