Jordan Low, right, scored the 100 Mile House Wranglers first goal in the 4-3 victory over the Revelstoke Grizzlies in Revelstoke on Dec. 20. The Wranglers start a three-games-in-three-nights road trip starting tonight (Jan. 3) against the Fernie GhostRiders, Creston Valley Thunder Cats (Jan. 4) and the Kimberley Dynamiters (Jan. 5).

Wranglers split weekend games Team had great results in 2013, finishing in top half of league standings Ken Alexander Free Press

Despite missing a few key players, the 100 Mile House Wranglers had a win and a loss on Dec. 20-21 before enjoying the Christmas break. The Wranglers knocked off the Revelstoke Grizzlies 4-3 in Revelstoke on Dec. 20, but suffered a 3-2 loss to the Sicamous Eagles in 100 Mile House the next night. Revelstoke rumble The night belonged to the special teams, as the Grizzlies opened the scoring with a power play marker. However, the Wranglers notched three extra man goals

for a 3-1 lead. The 100 Mile goal scorers were Jordan Low (Lane van de Wetering, Bradley Williams), Tyson Levesque (van de Wetering, Braeden St. Louis), and Connor Sloan (Levesque, van de Wetering). Low notched the game winner at 11:28 of the third period on assists from Levesque and Brady Ward. Kristian Stead stopped 33 of 36 Grizzlies shots for the victory. GM/coach Doug Rogers says the game was extremely dirty and the minimum number of penalties called do not reflect the style of play. “Our players battled hard. It is difficult to get a win on the road at anytime, but our guys found a way to get it done. This is a very

good step for us.” Eagles nip Wranglers Despite outshooting Sicamous 46-33, the hometown Wranglers fell 3-2 in what Rogers called an up-and-down effort. The Wranglers opened the scoring with a goal from Robert Orrey (Stephan Egan, William Orrey). However, Sicamous notched two markers, including a power play goal for too many men on the ice, to take the lead, before Williams (van de Wetering, Sloan) sent the teams to their respective dressing rooms deadlocked at two apiece. Sicamous claimed the two points on a goal with less than four minutes remaining in the

final frame. “We had enough opportunities to score a third goal but could not beat [Eagles net minder Kris] Joyce – he played well,” says Rogers. “The third goal for Sicamous was scored due to a line change issue. The issue/mistake was my fault at the bench, not the players. I need to take ownership of that and not leave it on the players.” The Wranglers had a few key players out of the lineup on the weekend. Luke Santerno missed both games, as he played for Merritt on Friday night (Dec. 20) and returned with the flu and could not play on Saturday.

Protect children during festive season Consider commons sense tips to prevent the spread of illness among

With upcoming holiday parties and visiting, BC Children’s Hospital and the BC Centre for Disease Control are offering tips to help reduce the risk of illness. Illnesses can be passed easily from one child to another, especially when the cold weather drives more children indoors and food is shared at gatherings. Children are more apt to get sick from illnesses, such as influenza and norovirus, than healthy adults and can pass it on to others. There are simple ways to reduce this risk so children and their busy parents and caregivers can enjoy the season. Get immunized Although flu season is here, it’s not too late to get immunized against influenza. Immunization is safe and saves lives. Make sure your child is on schedule to receive all of the vaccines available through the provincial childhood immunization program. Healthy children six months to less than five years of age are now eligible for a free flu shot, as are older children with many chronic medical conditions and who have

household members at high risk or under the age of two years. Wash hands Eighty per cent of common infections are spread by hands. Children should wash their hands before eating, after using the washroom, after sneezing, coughing or using a tissue, and after playing with toys shared with other children. They should use soap and water and rub for 20 seconds – the time it takes to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star – and then rinse them for another 10 seconds. Alcohol hand rubs are a good substitute if a sink is not readily available.

much more severe illness from influenza and other infections. Adults with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea should avoid preparing or handling food until 48 hours after the last episode of diarrhea or vomiting. Folks can call 811 for

more information or if you have health concerns that you would like to discuss with a nurse. Avoid sharing Encourage children not to share utensils, drinking cups and toys that they put in their mouths. Teach chil-

dren not to share items like hairbrushes, combs, hats, helmets, headphones, bedding, pillows or towels. Furthermore, avoid sharing water bottles or drinks on sports teams or other groups. Learn more at www. immunizebc.ca.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, there isn’t time to enjoy recreational activities this week, so you may have to find a new way to let loose. There will be more time for fun later. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a new opportunity comes your way but you’re not quite sure if you’re ready for such drastic changes. Take your time before making a final decision. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, no matter how hard you try, some people just can’t see things from your point of view. Don’t take this personally, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sometimes it seems like you have all of the answers, while at other times, you don’t know how to approach a situation. Take some time to analyze your approach. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Feeling homesick, Libra? If so, make some post-holiday plans to visit friends or family you didn’t get a chance to see during the holidays. Enjoy time spent with loved ones. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you like to stay busy. But you sometimes feel overwhelmed with everything. Stop biting off more than you can chew and take things one at a time.

The B.C. Liberal government’s decision to exempt the Site C dam proposal from review by the Agricultural Land Commission is another step backwards for accountability, NDP energy critic John Horgan said on Dec. 16. Energy Minister Bill Bennett notified BC Hydro’s board in a Dec. 11 letter that the 3,800 hectares of fertile land to be flooded for a third dam on the Peace River will not be subject to a second review. Since the Agricultural Land Reserve was established in the 1970s, the provincial government has had the option of declaring farmland exemptions if they are deemed in the “provincial interest.” Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government has a habit of suspending independent oversight of BC Hydro decisions, most recently on the B.C. Utilities Commission’s review of electricity rate increases over the next five years. “We’ve already seen 28 per cent rate increases coming because of

10 years of mismanagement, and the [Premier Christy] Clark government is starting off on the wrong foot in my opinion by exempting Site C from the utilities commission, by exempting a rate review from the utilities commission, and now the ALC has also been pulled out.” Bennett said there is no need to hold duplicate reviews of Site C, which would take a decade and more than $8 billion to construct. “This is not the government of B.C. doing this panel process,” Bennett told CKNW radio. “These are independent people who are chosen because of their independence and because of their experience. They will determine what the impact is on agriculture and agricultural land.” The joint federal-provincial environmental assessment of Site C. began in 2011, with public hearings underway this month in the region. The dam would flood an 83-kilometre stretch of valley bottom between Hudson’s Hope
