Yukon cabin stolen from its foundations
There will be a few changes to the Rockin’ River Music Festival
next year: the dates and the venue.
Riverfest 2015 will be held over the August long weekend (July 30
– Aug. 2) and will be held at the former Mountainfest site in Merritt,
organisers announced Thursday (Oct. 16).
“While we’re going to miss our old home in Mission, after many
months of consideration and countless hours of consultation with
fans, industry and management offi cials, we have decided that the
move to Merritt is the right choice,” organisers said in a press re-
lease. “We’re moving to a world class venue with facilities to handle
our growing audience for years to come. Plus we get a nice clean
river for all of our music fans to play in!”
Artist announcements will be made in the next few months. Tickets
and other information can be found at http://riverfest.ca.
IT WAS RIGHT HERE. Josie-Anne Pilotte points to where her
cabin used to be. She said the cabin was stolen earlier this month.

Riverfest on the move A Yukon woman is looking for her house.
Josie-Anne Pilotte was building a cabin on a friend’s mining claim
near Fish Lake Road just outside of Whitehorse.
The cabin was on pallets and ready to move, but when Pilotte arrived
last month, she found someone else had already beat her to it.
“We found a pair of gloves, a crowbar, and they left the windows
behind,” she said.
She said whoever took the cabin took everything al her belongs that
were inside and left them outside.
She doesn’t know what happened. Snowfall covered any tracks.
“I went berserk,” Pilotte related. “I lost it. I left, and yes I went to the
police and I reported it.”
It’s been two weeks since the theft and there are still few clues.
Pilotte said the cabin was supposed to be a hideaway.
“Just a place to sleep, to hide in, to get away,” she related. “A place
to be, my little home.”
Police in Whitehorse are investigating the unusual crime.

HoroscopesOctober 20 - October 26, 2014Things start out quite well in your dealings with others this week but then they can become rather mysterious. This can continue ‘til mid-Nov. It can make you realise you need to remain fo-cussed on your own long-term goals without necessarily includ-ing others. Luck & benefi ts possible don’t depend on them.
Relationships & dealings with other people can have great sig-nifi cance in your life during the next 6 months. If there’s been a struggle to gain attention or be listened to, that could begin to change. To gain one thing it’ll be necessary to let something else go.
The need to take a more balanced, even black & white approach to fi ner details in some way can begin to present itself this week. Hoping it all works out won’t be good enough. It’s something you need to focus on, esp. to mid-Nov. It may be worthwhile to re-introduce ideas that have worked in the past as well.
You may need to spend more than you planned this week on getting something fi xed up, or by putting something in place, esp. connected to the home. It may be connected to making life easier on a daily basis or altering routine so you have more time to enjoy yourself. That could begin to take shape as well.
Get any outstanding communication out of the way this week. Someone may be hard to fathom but do your best & then let it be. It’ll have a way of sorting itself out as time goes on. Start getting something in order from now to mid-Nov. that will en-sure you can handle a lot & use your time effectively.
Let your feelings interact with your thoughts this week when it comes to any situation where you fi nd someone else confusing. Consider what doesn’t make sense as well as anything that can interfere with the actions you want to take to put certain things in place. Becoming more serious about your own decisions is best.
Whatever you’ve been considering this month on a personal lev-el will now move onto another stage from this week to mid-Nov. Your own fi nances can be involved; maintain a very sensible & practical approach to ensure you benefi t rather than lose. Re-viewing past procedures may have its advantages.
This week creates the opportunity for the establishment of per-sonal new directions for all Scorpios. Oct. Scorpios will have this extend over the following 6 months. There’s a need to weigh up what personal commitments have meant to you in the last 2 years & how to proceed.
You enter a period of waiting & patience this week in which there can be new directions beginning to establish themselves but not becoming obvious. This can seem contradictory to the sense of moving forward. You’ll have certain goals in mind for the long term & you may begin to change some aspects of them.
Any involvement with a group of people from this week ‘til mid-Nov. may result in the establishment of a new friendship that could prove rather signifi cant in the future. A friendship that’s waned in the past could re-establish itself with greater intensity and commitment. There are things to surface – let them do that.
Focus upon whether somebody else is as willing to support your future goals as much as you hope they are. Don’t lose sight of your own priorities this week. There’ll be changes with com-mitments that bring with them new directions but you need to ensure any extra effort on your part will be worth it.
Unknown or secretive elements associated with someone else begin to unfold this week & come out in the open or you feel this is happening to you as a result of what you’ve been dealing with this month. New long-term goals that produce security will be uppermost. A serious approach is required for future success.

AROUND TOWNTop Halloween costume safety tips for pets
Are you dressing your pet up
for trick or treating?
As with our own children,
there are a few things to keep
in mind when it comes to cos-
tume safety. Before you dress
up your four-legged friends,
here is some valuable guidance:
TAGS: Your pets should always
have identifi cation and registra-
tion tags on their collars. This
simple little rule is even more
important at this time of year
when they will be exposed to
many opportunities for escape.
Think about how many times
you open your door on Hallow-
een night!
DON’T FORCE IT: If your dog or
cat doesn’t want to wear a cos-
tume, don’t force the issue. Try
getting them comfortable with
the costume fi rst. Start slow,
dressing them in pieces to gauge
their reaction.
MAKE SURE IT’S COMFORTABLE: A
costume should never confi ne,
constrain or aggravate your pet.
WATCH FOR LOOSE PARTS AND
CHEWING HAZARDS: Once the
costume is on and is fi tted prop-
erly, make sure there isn’t any-
thing that could be a trip or burn
hazard, like a cape or long fl ow-
ing hair. Check the costume for
little parts that are within biting
or chewing distance.
Make sure they can see, hear,
and breathe freely: Look close-
ly at the eyes, ears, nose, mouth
and throat of your dog or cat
once they are dressed. If you
need to, make physical adjust-
ments to the costume, especial-
ly if it increases their ability to
see, hear and breathe. This may
include changes to the eye and
ear holes, or removing whole
portions of the outfi t. – NC

The Kamloops Storm are 8-4-0-1
with 17 points after a three-game
weekend, which is enough to be
leading the Birks division of the
Okanagan Shuswap conference
of the KIJHL. Their 17 points also
put them in a three-way tie for
second spot in the league along
with the Fernie Ghostriders and
Nelson Leafs; only the Osoyoos
Coyotes have more points – 22 –
enough for top spot in the league.
Felix Larouche was the star of
the game Fri. Oct. 10, when the
Storm faced off against the Heat
in Chase, scoring a hat trick and
a helper in a 6-2 winning effort.
Ian Chrystal opened the scoring
for the Storm just 55 seconds into
the game to give the visitors the
early 1-0 lead. Larouche got his
fi rst goal of the night with a pow-
er play goal with 3:00 remaining
in the period to make it 2-0 after
20 minutes.
Lerouche made it 3-0 just 1:31
into the second frame, then Mark
O’Shaughnessy gave the Storm a
4-0 lead with 6:23 remaining on
the clock.
The Heat got on the scoreboard
1:40 into the third frame. La-
rouche scored his hat trick goal
3:12 later to make it 5-1 Storm.
Brett Watkinson made it 6-1 only
4:28 later. The Heat poured it on
in the dying seconds of the game,
scoring their second goal on the
game with 32 seconds remain-
ing in the game to make it a 6-2
Storm fi nal.
Jason Sandhu was stellar be-
tween the pipes, stopping 17 of
19 shots he faced. The Storm out-
shot the Heat 41-19 in the win.
The following evening, the
Storm hosted the Princeton Posse
and came away on the losing end
of a 4-3 score.
The Posse opened the scoring
on the power play 4:46 into the
game to take an early 1-0 lead.
Watkinson tied the game with
1:43 remaining in the period but
the Posse retaliated nine seconds
later to make it 2-1 after 20.
The fi rst intermission gave the
Storm the opportunity to switch
out goaltenders as starting net-
minder Bailey De Palma stopped
just two of the four shots he faced
in the period. Sandhu stopped 16
of 18 goals he faced in the game.
The Posse made it 3-1 just 28
seconds into the middle frame, but
Keaton Gordon got that one back
3:24 later; Kyle Lohmann scored
with seven seconds remaining in
the second to tie it up 3-3 after 40.

The Kamloops Blazers got two
goals from Matt Needham in a
3-1 victory over the Lethbridge
Hurricanes last Friday night.
The Hurricanes kicked the game
off with the momentum, as the
Blazers were on their heels at times
in the early part of the fi rst period.
The Hurricanes opened the scor-
ing on a power play rush from the
blueline and around a Blazers de-
fender and under goaltender Cole
Kehler for a 1-0 Lethbridge lead.
Despite the slow start, the Blaz-
ers got their legs going and tied it
up with 4:04 to play in the period.
Needham came streaking down
the wing and fi red a slap shot
under goaltender Stuart Skin-
ner’s glove to tie the game at 1-1
through the fi rst period.
The Blazers got going in the
second period as they outshot the
‘Canes 14-6 in the period.
The lone goal came off the stick
of Jake Kryski as he snuck one
past Skinner on a rebound for his
third goal of the season and a 2-1
Blazers lead.
The Blazers continued to con-
trol the game into the third pe-
riod. When there was a break-
down, Kehler was solid for the
home team.
Needham iced the game with
12 seconds left as his clearing
attempt from his own end went
into the empty net as the Blazers
earned a 3-1 home ice win.
The Blazers outshot the Hur-
ricanes 38-27 on the night with
Kehler picking up the win mak-
ing 26 saves.
The Hurricanes fi nished the
night 1-for-3 on the power play,
while the Blazers did not get a
power play in the game.
The Everett Silvertips got 28
saves from goaltender Austin
Lotz as they beat the Blazers 5-1
last Saturday night.
The Blazers opened the scoring
on the power play in the fi rst pe-
riod. Brady Gaudet’s point shot
beat Lotz high on the glove side
for a 1-0 Blazers lead.
The Silvertips came right back
and tied it up with a shot fi ve-
hole behind goaltender Bolton
Pouliot to make it 1-1.
The ‘Tips took the lead with
3:36 to play in the period on a
power play with a wrist shot that
got past Pouliot on the glove
side. The ‘Tips took the 2-1 lead
into the second period.
There was no scoring and barely
any whistles in a fast paced sec-
ond period. The period took only
26 minutes to play as the Blazers
continued to trail 2-1 headed into
the third period.
The ‘Tips took a two-goal lead
59 seconds into the third period
on a long point shot that found its
way in the net to make it 3-1 for
the ‘Tips.

the goal and put some great shifts
together. Jesse Zaharichuk was
stoned twice point blank by Lotz.
Mike Winther had a breakaway,
but fi red wide as the Blazers were
not able to get a goal.
The Silvertips scored two late
goals to round out the scoring,
one on a nice tic-tac-toe play and
the other with three seconds left
to make it a 5-1 fi nal.
The Blazers outshot the Silver-
tips 29-25. Both teams fi nished
1-for-3 on the power play.
It was not meant to be for the
Blazers (6-4-1-0) Wednesday
night, as they gave up three goals
on the power play in a 6-4 loss to
the Kelowna Rockets (9-0-0-0).
The Blazers opened the scoring
in this one as Collin Shirley was
hauled down on a breakaway and
awarded a penalty shot. He con-
verted on the penalty shot, beating
goaltender Jackson Whistle on the
blocker side to make it 1-0 Blazers.
The Rockets tied things up
late in the period on the power
play. They had some puck luck
as a centering pass from behind
the net went underneath Kehler
and behind him to make it 1-1
through one period.
The second period was all Blaz-
ers early as they dominated the
Rockets. The Rockets got the next
goal though on the power play.
Cole Ully tied the game up on a
power play as he found his own
rebound and put it over a sprawl-
ing Whistle to make it 2-2.
The Rockets power play was
hot and gave them the lead once
again after a centering pass was
put into an open net for the Rock-
ets’ 3-2 lead.
The Rockets made it 4-2 with
their fi rst even-strength goal
of the game on a rebound. The
Rockets took their 4-2 lead into
the fi nal period.
The Rockets scored an early
goal in the third period as they
fi nished off a tic-tac-toe play and
gave the Rockets a 5-2 lead.
The Blazers were not out of it
though and got goals from Ully
and Kryski to make it a 5-4 game.
They had their chances, but could
not squeak one by Whistle.
The Rockets added an empty net
goal with 36 seconds left to play
to make it a 6-4 fi nal.

es in the game as they outshot the
Rockets 39-33. The Blazers were
1-for-4 on the power play, while
the Rockets were 3-for-5.
The Blazers now hit the road for
two games this weekend as they
are in Vancouver Friday and in
Seattle Saturday.

Give your pet aspooktacular time
Halloween
isn’t just for
kids. It’s a great
time for the
whole family to
spend together,
including your
precious pets.
Here are the Top
fi ve ways to en-
courage your
four-legged little
ones to join in
on the festivities:
1. CUTE COSTUMES: The only thing cuter than a dog or cat, is when
they are in a costume. With lovable options from Martha Stewart Pets,
Disney, and Bret Michaels, we have a wide variety of dog and cat
costumes to choose from. You can even fi nd ghoulish Halloween cos-
tumes for guinea pigs!
2. SHOW YOUR TRUE COLOURS: Dogs can express their creativity with
grooming. For example, a grooming service called Pet Expressions
gives them fun chalking and feathering in Halloween colours along
with spooky pumpkin, witch hats and candy corn stenciling.
3. TRICK OR TREAT?: Dogs get excited over a tasty treat just as much
as the kids, so pick up a selection of Halloween themed treats includ-
ing licorice-fl avoured elk antler chews, and Canadian-made biscuits
shaped like eye-balls, candy corn, monsters and skulls.
4. FRIGHTFUL FUN WITH TOYS: It’s important for pets to have a few toys
for exercise and entertainment. It has even been noted that a good toy
can act as a “security blanket”, affecting their mood positively. Pet toy
designers like Martha Stewart Pets, Disney, and Bret Michaels have
created a variety of themed choices.
5. GONE FISHIN’: Don’t forget the fi sh! Why not celebrate Halloween
with some themed ornaments in the aquarium? Decorating the house-
hold aquarium can be a gratifying activity and adds even more spooky
décor to your home. – NC
Our dogs especially want to join in on Halloween festivities, but it’s
important to keep safety in mind while celebrating. To make the occa-
sion a real treat for them, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
AVOID FRIGHTS. With all the kiddies and frightful costumes running
around, you should be mindful of managing your pet’s stress level.
Fears manifest in different ways. A dog, for example, may bite or
scratch, run and hide, tremble, or even urinate when afraid. We need
to fi gure out what is scaring them to ease the issue and help them
overcome their fears. The best way to eliminate unwanted frights is
to establish a safe, pets-only room in the house. This may also help to
put those trick-or-treaters at ease who are uncomfortable around pets.
HALLOWEEN TREATS. Chocolate is particularly tempting for pets, but
can make them seriously ill. Be sure to keep all Halloween candy
out of reach. If pets want to take part in some tasty treats, pick up a
selection of Halloween themed treats including licorice-fl avoured elk
antler chews, and Canadian-made biscuits from Molly’s Barkery.
OUTDOOR TRICK-OR-TREATING. Will your pets step out for trick-or-treat-
ing? Refl ective leashes, collars and ID tags with fl ashing lights are
essential accessories for any pet. Make sure that an adult is holding the
leash and that the pet is at ease around strangers and crowds.
COSTUME FUN. Pets can dress up and join in on the fun as well. Before
committing to a costume, make sure your pet is comfortable in the
outfi t – and don’t force it. Pets should be able to see, hear and breathe
freely. – NC
