Wranglers take first playoff game
100 Mile House and Surrounding Area
YUM!
Ken Alexander Free Press
The 100 Mile House Wranglers got off to a great start in its first foray into the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs by beating the Chase Heat 5-4 in overtime on the road. It wasa much needed win for the Wranglers, as they lost 5-4 to the Heat at home on Feb. 21 after, what appeared to be the game-winning overtime goal, was disallowed when the on-ice officials got together and decided the net was off its moorings when the puck crossed the line. Undaunted, the boys went into Art Holding Memorial Arena in Chase on Feb. 25 looking to avenge that loss. Their hard work and tenacity over the course of the game paid dividends. “It was a very good team performance in that the boys never gave up and continued to battle back even when things were not always coming easy,” Wrangler GM/coach Doug Rogers said after the game. He added it’s a very good sign for the team as it works its way through the playoffs. The Heat jumped out into a two-goal lead by 13:09 of the first period, before Connor Sloan cut the lead to one, with assists going to Michael Lynch and Jayden Syrota, at 4:38. It stayed that way until the intermission. The second stanza saw the Wranglers score the only two goals of the period and they came early. Robert Orrey (Cole Zimmerman) knotted the score at two at 18:26, and Stephan Egan (Orrey, Zimmerman) gave the

Safe winter driving tips
Winter driving takes extra planning, precautions and skill. With winter in full swing, the BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) reminds people to be prepared for the challenges posed by ice, snow and limited visibility. The BCFSC provides theese tips for staying safe on the roads this
winter: • If the weather is poor, it is better to postpone your trip and wait for the weather to improve. • Decide on your route before you go and choose the safest route possible. Check out websites, such as www.drivebc.ca for upto-date information on road conditions.
Line outstanding From 1
Wranglers the 3-2 lead at 17:30. The line of Zimmerman, Egan and Orrey was outstanding, said Rogers. “They have bought into the systems and effort that is required to be successful. This is a credit to all three.” The third period saw the Heat come back with two goals to take a 4-3 lead before Sloan (Lane van de Wetering) scored the Wranglers fourth marker at 4:11 and tied the score. Then at 3:24 of first overtime period, Zimmerman scored the winning goal, which gave him a goal and two assists for the game. “Cole’s shot in overtime went post, backbar and then other post on the way out. It was a great shot,” Rogers explained. The Heat outshot the Wranglers 53-31 in the contest that saw only two penalties handed out – both going to the 100 Mile House squad. The coach said Kristian Stead had a great performance between the pipes for the Wranglers. “He kept us in the game in the third and OT, and gave us a chance to win.” Rogers noted he was pleased with the performance and the outcome. “You always try to get a split when you start on the road in a playoff series. The boys have accomplished this and we look forward to tonight’s (Feb. 26) game.
• Always carry an emergency kit stocked with the essentials you may need should you get stranded, to keep warm, fed, safe and hydrated. • Leave extra time between appointments to ensure you get to where you need to be on time and without the need to rush. • Slippery roads mean extra distance is needed to stop. • Keep your speed right for the conditions; often this means well below the posted speed limit. • Avoid sudden brak-

ing and acceleration by keeping transitions smooth. • Distractions are hazardous even during the best weather. Focus your full attention to the road ahead, and driving. “If you have to be out on the roads in winter, slow down. Drive to the weather and road conditions, and give yourself enough time to do that,” says BCFSC transportation director Rick Walters. Use a six-second following distance as it can take double the time and distance to stop.

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is a dramatic thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed?
It is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years - and it’s meant billions for the bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they have a chance to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

No comment from attorney general By Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. Liberal government’s negotiator admitted in court his strategy in 2012 negotiations with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation was to provoke a full-scale strike. NDP critics launched their return to the B.C. legislature on Feb. 11 with questions about a transcript from the most recent BCTF court challenge over control of class size and support staff. It shows government negotiator Paul Straszak said provoking a full-scale strike was designed to move the union from its months-long ban on extra-curricular activities that started in the fall of 2011. Asked by the BCTF lawyer if the strategy was to close schools with a full-scale walkout, which had been authorized by the Labour Relations Board to last up to a week, Straszak replied, “I’ll say yes.”
Straszak described his briefing for John Dyble, Premier Christy Clark’s deputy minister, before a cabinet meeting. “So what we’re talking about here is cabinet is going to be in an awkward situation in the context of a low-scale strike, meaning it’s going to want to put an end to it, but the public won’t necessarily see the need for the legislation because the kids are still in school,” Straszak told the court. He said the teachers’ work-to-rule action “was having a really significant impact on education” and the increase in pressure was part of the “political dynamic” of the longrunning dispute. In the legislature Feb. 12, NDP Leader Adrian Dix called on Clark to explain the strategy and release cabinet documents that were tabled in court but not made public. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the Jan. 27 decision of B.C. Supreme Court is being
appealed, and refused to comment further. NDP education critic Rob Fleming said the premier and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have commented publicly on
the decision in media interviews, and in letters sent to all teachers. In her ruling, Justice Susan Griffin concluded the B.C. Liberal government did not bargain in good faith with the
BCTF. She struck down legislation restricting teacher bargaining of classroom conditions and imposed a $2 million penalty on the government.

Health workers ratify ‘unique’ wage deal
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Health science union members have voted 75 per cent to accept a fiveyear “growth sharing” wage agreement with the B.C. Liberal government.
VAL AVERY
16,000 specialists in diagnostic, clinical and rehabilitation services were the first to accept the groundbreaking proposal. A larger group of government union members also voted on a similar offer. The agreements include guaranteed wage increases of about 5.5 per cent over five years, plus extra money in years where the British Columbia economy grows beyond independent forecasts. They are also for an unusually long term and were reached three months before the current contracts expire. Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association, said the “modest wage increases” were in addition to employer commitments to recruiting and retaining professionals in highest demand. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the health science agreement is “unique to the needs of the employers and employees, and I expect we will see that pattern continue with subsequent agreements.” A similar five-year proposal has gone to a vote of 51,000 mainly B.C. Government Employees’ Union members. They include direct government
employees, home support workers, alcohol and drug counsellors, adult day centres, child development centres and mental health group homes. The growth-sharing formula is based on the finance ministry’s economic forecast council, private sector experts who estimate growth in January as the provincial budget is being prepared. If actual growth exceeds projected growth by one per cent, it means $200 million more for the provincial treasury, which would be shared 50-50 with unionized employees for that year.

TNRD taxes going up The Thompson Regional Hospital District (TNRD) board of directors has approved the 2014 provisional budget. Total expenditures for 2014 have been budgeted at $18.6 million, which is up approximately $1.5 million from 2013. Included in the 2014 expenditures is partial funding for the Clinical Services Building at
5
Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) in Kamloops, along with provisions for capital projects, minor equipment and carry-forward projects. The 2014 residential tax rate for the TNRD will increase an average of $21 per residential household assessment, up to $127 from $106 in 2013. The increase in the tax rate is part of a strategy to build up a
down-payment towards the construction of RIH’s Clinical Services Building and parkade, and the Surgical Tower. These two projects are expected to cost approximately $400 million. The TNRD also approved a bylaw for cost-sharing ($774,356 of $1,935,890) with Interior Health Authority (IHA) for minor equipment in facilities within Kamloops (RIH),
Ashcroft, Barriere, Chase, Clearwater, Lillooet, Logan Lake, Lytton and Merritt Each fall, the IHA presents a list of minor equipment with which they would like to cost share with the TNRD at 40 per cent.

Barkerville welcomes new curator Mandy Kilsby The Barkerville Heritage Trust announced Mandy Kilsby has been selected as the new curator for Barkerville Historic Town on Feb. 12. Originally from Quesnel, Kilsby brings a tremendous amount of in-house expertise to her new role, having worked for the past eight years as curatorial assistant and librarian alongside Barkerville’s previous curator, Bill Quackenbush. She has an extensive background in collections management, graduate-level research, writing, historical analysis and curatorial handling, documentation and the preservation of museum objects. As a researcher and writer, Kilsby’s subjects have covered national, local and provincial history, as well as historical and contemporary gold mining, genealogy and women’s history. “I have a passion for the preservation of cultural heritage,” says Kilsby.

“As curator, I see my role as less a gatekeeper than a facilitator for the public to have access to the wealth of invaluable records and materials here in Barkerville.
Mandy Kilsby
“This work is particularly important in an age where we are seeing the closing of libraries and other repositories of indispensable public information.” Kilsby brings to the position a master’s degree in Women’s Studies focusing on gender, language policy and history from Simon Fraser University, as well as a University Teaching and Learning Certificate. Her under-
graduate work, culminating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Women’s Studies and History, also from SFU, was completed in 2002. Since then Kilsby has actively bolstered her academic and curatorial training with numerous courses on archival and cultural resource management. Her appointment as curator comes at a time of substantial transition for Barkerville. The recent installation of Barkerville’s new chief executive officer, Ed Coleman, this past January following the retirement of former CEO Judy Campbell, and the departure of previous Curator Bill Quackenbush after 28 years of dedicated service heralds a shift in personnel for the National Historic Site that represents both the continuation of decades of passionate and careful work and an avenue for the exploration of new and exciting ideas that is sure to benefit the organization moving forward.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, concern about those closest to you might be foremost on your mind this week. Shift that focus to your own life and responsibilities for the time being. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Your professional life takes precedence this week, Cancer. Allow yourself ample time to tackle all the things on your plate at the office, and you will be glad you did. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Use the power you have carefully, Leo. It surprises even you just how great an impact you can make and the sweeping consequences of some of your actions. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, uncertainty about your priorities arises over the next few days. Take time to think things through, but don’t be idle for too long. Do your best to stay motivated. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Long-term career goals are on your mind, Libra. Make time to develop a plan that can make those goals a reality. Consult with colleagues for advice or guidance. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there is always room for compromise, even when it seems unlikely. Don’t be too quick to assume there is no room to work out an agreement.

District energy usage down
At the Feb. 11 District of 100 Mile House council meeting, councillors learned there was an overall decrease in energy consumption for buildings, but an increase in fuel use for fleet vehicles. Electricity was down 14 per cent over 2012 and natural gas was down eight per cent. However, gasoline and diesel use were up four and 13 per cent respectively. Factors such as summer and winter temperatures, snowfall amounts (and associated snowclearing activities) and the volume of emergency callouts likely contributed to the variations in energy usages, District planner Joanne Doddridge suggested. Meanwhile, the District’s fleet and equipment account for 49% of all emissions; buildings account
for 44%; and utilities account for seven per cent of all emissions. Consumption from all energy sources equalled
307 tonnes of Green House Gases, down slightly over 2012 levels. Energy expenditures totalled $213,954 for
2013, which is down nearly four per cent over 2012. The carbon dioxide equivalent of 2013 consumption is
“Don’t Dither, Call Diether”
$7,681, which would be the total cost of purchasing carbon offset credits to become carbon neutral.

Open discussion on living with disabilities Carole Rooney Free Press
Do you have any thoughts, ideas or knowledge about how to improve services for people living with disabilities? The public is invited to participate in a Disability White Paper Conversation hosted by Horton Ventures and WorkBC at the Community Employment Services centre, 808 Alpine Ave., on March 6 at 1:30 p.m. This open community discussion about disability services in rural British Columbia is
one of a host of similar opportunities happening around the province. Participants will take a closer look at how people with disabilities can most effectively network with other community service providers, employers and community members. How to increase accessibility and decrease barriers for people with disabilities will also be a key component of the community conversation. Groups will discuss innovation in disability services and improving accessibility for people living with disabilities;
personal supports, aids and devices; work and contribution; housing and accessibility; social networks support; and, in particular, asset accumulation through the Registered Disability Savings Plan. Those interested in attending this event are asked to register ahead by contacting training co-ordinator Kathy Stocks at 250-395-5121 or e-mail to k.stocks@hortonventures.com.
