HoroscopesNovember 30 - December 6, 2015
The future can begin to look a lot brighter when it comes to situ-ations where others are involved & you have less choice. It may not be exactly what you expect. Making independent decisions regarding future goals will be necessary. It may mean you have a lot more detail to handle but that’s the way it’s meant to be.
You can begin to feel better appreciated by others from late in the week through to late Dec. Even so, it’ll be necessary to fi t in with others in some way. There’ll still be a strong degree of secrecy that you’ll be dealing with. Take advantage of opportunities that arise to enjoy yourself. Go with the fl ow.
A busy week involving others can see you easily distracted. There should certainly be the opportunity for fun, which has an impul-sive tone about it. At the same time, a person who has authority can put you under pressure regarding obligations. Things can get out of control if you attempt to side step routines already in place.
There’s a lot of detail for you to deal with in some way. There may be ways of streamlining it but it can still seem overwhelming mentally. It’s best if you set aside times to focus on this without other interruptions. You’re moving into more social cycles from late in the week – late-Dec., so get ready.
It’ll be all too easy to waste time because pleasure will be more appealing than anything else. Don’t waste too much time on any-body who’s mysterious. Focus on your own independent future goals. Before you spend money impulsively, think about whether it’ll have lasting appeal as time goes on.
You’ll be encouraged to look at things that seem unnecessary on a personal level & to either get rid of them or scale them down. At the same time, you’ll feel strongly about getting things in order. In part, this may also mean looking at spending. Someone else may not be impressed but this is about you, not them.
Something involving you personally will begin to move onto the next stage later in the week. You still have fi ghting spirit & may fi nd it necessary to put your ideas forward in a direct manner. This may generate an unexpected response from somebody else. This happening is a signal to step back & contemplate.
Venus, the planet of balance, peace & harmony, moves into your sign later in the week, where it will remain ‘til Dec. 30. This’ll likely herald a social time as well as a time to spend some money on yourself. Even so, there’ll still be a degree of feeling held back & the need to have some patience on moving forward.
You’ll be very busy & likely in demand. Amongst this can be some pleasant surprises. You can’t afford to forget either your ob-ligations or situations that can mean more responsibilities from you. It’s not natural for you to consider these things but it can be to your detriment later if you don’t limit your generosity.
Find some quiet time to yourself to contemplate where you fi nd life right now or to give thought to the best way of dealing with your commitments. There’s likely something you want to develop in the long term that’s changed in some way. You have every op-portunity to come up with some inventive solutions.
This can be an interactive week, esp. with groups of people. It may be connected to your work or personal life, perhaps both. You may wonder who your real friends are. By not placing ex-pectations on anybody, you won’t be disappointed later. Don’t be encouraged to spend money you can’t afford.
There’s very little hope of escaping obligations. Limit this by hesitating before you follow the path of others suggestions. When you do this, think about what you already need to handle. It’ll become easier to focus on what you want to be able to enjoy long term from late in the week. It won’t stop others pushing though.

On Nov. 12, the Kamloops
Storm acquired Zachari Andru-
siak from the North Okanagan
Knights for defencemen Patrick
Nicholson, Andre Piquette and
forward Ryland Chernomaz. And
it didn’t take Andrusiak to make
his mark with the team, scor-
ing four goals and an assist and
garnering game star status last
weekend.
Last Friday, Nov. 20, saw the
Storm travel to Chase to take on
the Heat. The Heat opened the
scoring 11:17 into the game on
the power play while Dante Ra-
poso was off for tripping. Hunter
Kero answered back 21 seconds
later with a full-strength goal to
tie the game going into the fi rst
intermission. Chase took the
lead again 6:07 into the second
frame. Dario Piva tied it up for
the Storm with a power play goal
3:23 later to make it 2-2 after 40
minutes. The third period be-
longed to the Heat as they scored
three unanswered goals, includ-
ing an empty-netter with 1:19
left on the clock to take the 5-2
win over the Storm. Spencer Es-
chyschyn stopped 25 of 39 shots
in the loss.
Sat. Nov. 21, the Storm were
back on the road in Revelstoke
where they faced off against the
Grizzlies. Andrusiak scored both
Storm goals in the 5-2 loss. The
Grizzlies opened the scoring
1:18 into the game but Andru-
siak answered back 26 seconds
later to make it 1-1 after 20. The
Grizzlies scored the only goal of
the second period to make it 2-1
after 40. The Grizzlies made it
3-1 with a goal 5:31 into the fi -
nal frame. Andrusiak scored his
second goal of the game halfway
through the third period to make
it 3-2 but that was as close as the
Storm would get as the Grizzlies
scored two unanswered goals –
including one on the power play
– to take the 5-2 win.
The Storm outshot the Grizzlies
50-25 in the loss.
Sun. Nov. 23, saw the Storm
back on home ice for the second
game of the home-and-home
series against the Grizzlies, and
saw more favourable results.
Brett Watkinson opened the
scoring for the Storm 2:24 into
the fi rst period. Andrusiak scored
his fi rst goal of the game to give
the Storm a 2-0 lead after the
fi rst 20 minutes. After a score-
less middle frame, the Grizzlies
fi nally got on the scoreboard 2:07
into the fi nal frame to make it 2-1
but Andrusiak scored his second
goal of game – his second con-
secutive two-goal game – on the
power play to give the Storm the
3-1 win. The Storm outshot the
Grizzlies 39-10 on the game for
the win.

Collin Shirley tied the game
with 27 seconds to play, but the
Kamloops Blazers fell 4-3 in
overtime to the Rockets last Wed.
Nov. 18. Shirley had two goals
for the Blazers while Deven Sid-
eroff fi nished with two assists.
Garrett Pilon also scored for the
Blazers. Connor Ingram was out-
standing in goal with 30 saves
and earned the third star.
The Blazers were tentative in
the early part of the fi rst period,
while the Rockets pounced on
loose pucks.
Tanner Wishnowski got the
Rockets on the scoreboard with a
quick shot to make it 1-0 Rockets
5:54 into the game.
Ingram was terrifi c in goal and
came up big making a stop on a
breakaway from Nick Merkley
and another point blank chance
off Justin Kirkland to keep it 1-0.
Shirley got the Blazers on the
scoreboard with 39 seconds to
play in the period.
He outwaited goaltender Jack-
son Whistle before snapping
home a shot on the blocker side
to make it 1-1 through one pe-
riod.
The Blazers started to get better
as the game wore on and had a
few more chances in the second
period.
The Rockets continued to keep
Ingram busy as he stopped 10
shots in the period to keep it 1-1
through two periods.
Pilon gave the Blazers a 2-1
lead 1:58 into the third period on
a backhand in the slot.
The Rockets came right back
and scored twice. Kole Lind
came off the top of the circle and
beat Ingram on the glove side
and Tomas Soustal scored on a
breakaway to give the Rockets a
3-2 lead with 8:15 to play in the
game.
The Blazers pressed on and had
a great chance to tie it with just
over a minute left, but Whistle
made a great save in tight.
With 27 seconds left, the Blaz-
ers tied the game. The Blazers
entered the zone and Sideroff fed
Shirley in front as he roofed a
shot for his 14th goal of the sea-
son to tie the game at 3-3.
In overtime, Rodney Southam
outwaited a Blazers defender and
made a great move in tight put-
ting a puck over Ingram’s block-
er to make it a 4-3 fi nal for the
Rockets.
Despite the loss, the Blazers
have now earned points in eight
straight games going 6-0-2-0 in
that span.
The Blazers were 0-for-3 on the
power play, while the Rockets
did not have a power play. The
Rockets outshot the Blazers 34-
31 in the game.
On Fri. Nov. 20, the Blazers ral-
lied from a 3-1 third period defi cit
to send the game to overtime, but
lost in the extra frame. Shirley

Gropp scored three straight goals
for the Thunderbirds. Patrik Ma-
ier and Matthew Campese scored
goals in the third period to tie the
game. Keegan Kolesar won it for
the Thunderbirds in overtime.

defi cit to tie the game in regula-
tion, but the Seattle Thunderbirds
scored the overtime winner for a
4-3 win.

the Blazers 13:58 into the game
on a breakaway. He took a pass
from Pilon and scored his 15th
goal of the season for a 1-0 Blaz-
ers lead.
The Thunderbirds were solid in
the fi rst period and outshot the
Blazers 12-6.
The T-Birds, who are the top
team in the U.S Division, scored
three times in the second period.
Kamloops native Ryan Gropp
scored all three goals – a natural
hat trick – for the T-Birds. He
ripped a shot from the high slot
on his fi rst goal. He scored into
an open net off a rebound on his
second goal, and deked out goal-
tender Ingram to score his third
goal.
The T-Birds took a comfortable
3-1 lead into the fi nal period.
The Blazers, who were missing
veteran players Gage Quinney,
Matt Needham, Jake Kryski and
Dallas Valentine, rallied in the
third period.
Patrik Maier made it a 3-2 defi -
cit as he found his own rebound
for his second goal of the season
3:34 into the fi nal period.
Matthew Campese tied it up
with a backhand on a rebound to
make it a 3-3 game with 14:16 to
play in the game.
The Blazers did their best to
defend in the fi nal stages of the
third period as the game went to
overtime.
The Thunderbirds ended it 58
seconds into overtime as Kole-
sar’s backhand from in close beat
goaltender Ingram to give the T-
Birds a 4-3 win.
Ingram was sensational in goal
for the Blazers in making 37
saves. Taz Burman earned the
win for the T-Birds with 24 saves.
The Thunderbirds were 1-for-
4 on the power play, while the
Blazers were 0-for-4.

third period goals en route to a
5-3 win over the Oil Kings Sat.
