Wranglers take first

playoff gameKen AlexanderFree 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 offi-cials 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 perfor-mance 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

Winter driving takes extra planning, precau-tions and skill.

With winter in full swing, the BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) reminds people to be prepared for the chal-lenges posed by ice, snow and limited vis-ibility.

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 up-to-date information on road conditions.

• 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 win-ter, 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 fol-lowing distance as it can take double the time and distance to stop.

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in his-tory, 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 de-stroy 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 of� cer. 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.

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 perfor-mance 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 perfor-mance and the outcome.

“You always try to get a split when you start on the road in a playoff series. The boys have accom-plished this and we look forward to tonight’s (Feb. 26) game.

The B.C. Liberal gov-ernment’s negotiator admitted in court his strategy in 2012 nego-tiations with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation was to pro-voke 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 negotia-tor Paul Straszak said provoking a full-scale strike was designed to move the union from its months-long ban on extra-curricular activi-ties that started in the fall of 2011.

Asked by the BCTF lawyer if the strategy was to close schools with a full-scale walk-out, 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 awk-ward 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 teach-ers’ 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 long-running dispute.

In the legislature Feb. 12, NDP Leader Adrian Dix called on Clark to explain the strategy and release cabinet docu-ments 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 let-ters sent to all teachers.

In her ruling, Justice Susan Griffin concluded the B.C. Liberal govern-ment did not bargain in good faith with the

BCTF.She struck down

legislation restricting teacher bargaining of classroom conditions and imposed a $2 mil-lion penalty on the government.

Health science union members have voted 75 per cent to accept a five-year “growth sharing” wage agreement with the B.C. Liberal govern-ment.

16,000 specialists in diagnostic, clinical and rehabilitation services were the first to accept the groundbreak-ing 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 cur-rent contracts expire.

Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association, said the “modest wage increas-es” were in addition to employer commitments to recruiting and retain-ing professionals in highest demand.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the health science agree-ment is “unique to the needs of the employers and employees, and I expect we will see that pattern continue with subsequent agree-ments.”

A similar five-year proposal has gone to a vote of 51,000 main-ly B.C. Government Employees’ Union members. They include direct government

employees, home sup-port workers, alcohol and drug counsellors, adult day centres, child development centres and mental health group homes.

The growth-shar-ing formula is based on the finance minis-try’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.

The Thompson Regional Hospital District (TNRD) board of directors has approved the 2014 pro-visional budget.

Total expenditures for 2014 have been bud-geted at $18.6 million, which is up approxi-mately $1.5 million from 2013.

Included in the 2014 expenditures is partial funding for the Clinical Services Building at

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 approx-imately $400 million.

The TNRD also approved a bylaw for cost-sharing ($774,356 of $1,935,890) with Interior Health Authority (IHA) for minor equip-ment 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.

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 man-agement, graduate-level research, writing, historical analysis and curatorial handling, documen-tation and the preservation of museum objects. As a researcher and writer, Kilsby’s subjects have covered national, local and pro-vincial history, as well as historical and contemporary gold mining, genealogy and women’s history.

“I have a passion for the pres-ervation 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.

“This work is particularly important in an age where we are seeing the closing of libraries and other repositories of indispens-able public information.”

Kilsby brings to the position a master’s degree in Women’s Studies focusing on gender, lan-guage 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 com-pleted in 2002.

Since then Kilsby has actively bolstered her academic and cura-torial 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 fol-lowing 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 con-tinuation 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.

Barkerville welcomes new curator Mandy Kilsby

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Don’t feel a need to take charge of others, Aries. People will respond to your cues even when such hints are subtle. Step back from the dictator’s podium.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you should be able to accomplish your objectives this week, in spite of some early distractions. Things will right themselves before long.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, 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 22Your 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 23Use 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 22Virgo, 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 23Long-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 22Scorpio, 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.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Your focus is at an all-time high this week, Sagittarius. Now is a good time to establish clear objectives at the workplace or for important personal matters.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Friends and family bring you a sense of well-being, Capricorn. Surround yourself with people in the days to come. Open your heart, and you will get much in return.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, coworkers turn out to be a source of much-needed support when you receive some unexpected news. Thank them for their support and kind gestures.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, expect others to seek your help in the coming days. Do your best to help, and those around you will greatly appreciate it.

THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION

At the Feb. 11 District of 100 Mile House council meeting, coun-cillors 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 snow-clearing activities) and the volume of emer-gency callouts likely contributed to the vari-ations in energy usages, District planner Joanne Doddridge suggested.

Meanwhile, the District’s fleet and equipment account for 49% of all emis-sions; 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

$7,681, which would be the total cost of pur-chasing carbon offset credits to become car-bon neutral.

The Canada Safety Council is accept-ing applications for the Sarah Beth Therien Memorial Scholarship.

The annual $2,500 scholarship is in honour of Sarah Beth Therien, a longtime employee of the Canada Safety Council and a passion-ate advocate for child and traffic safety.

She made medical history in 2006 as the

first Canadian organ donor after cardiac death. Her medical leg-acy has gone on to save hundreds of lives so far, a number that contin-ues to grow week after week.

The award is also intended to raise the profile of safety in the minds of young Canadians.

The competition is open to graduating secondary school stu-

dents entering their first year of post-secondary studies. Current under-graduate and college students are also eligible to apply.

Applicants must clearly describe initia-tives they undertook to improve safety in their community or at home,

school, or work. The initiatives must have demonstrated results that can be verified by references.

The application form for the Sarah Beth Therien Memorial Scholarship is now available at www.cana dasafetycounci.org.

To apply, print and complete the form and follow all the stated instructions. The appli-cation deadline is June 15, 2014.

Premier Christy Clark sat in the visitor

seats of the British Columbia legislature on

June 26, as her government’s throne speech

renewed the B.C. Liberal commitments

from the May election.

Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read a

brief speech to open a rare summer session

of the legislature, reiterating government

commitments for four consecutive bal-

anced budgets and a freeze on carbon tax

and most personal income tax rates.

Clark attended before returning to

duties as premier and a campaign for a

seat in Westside-Kelowna in a byelection

set for July 10.

“Waiting to take a seat makes it a little bit

harder to get down to business as quickly

as I’d like, but I’m not letting that get in the

way,” Clark told reporters on a visit to a

care facility under construction in Saanich.

“We called the legislature back before I

had a seat because we want to get this bal-

anced budget passed.”

NDP house leader John Horgan called it

a “bogus” budget that aims to hold health

care spending below one per cent growth,

a target not seen since the Social Credit

restraint program of the early 1980s.

The legislature is to sit until July 25,

debating the budget and the spending

estimates for all government ministries as

required by law.

The first order of business on June 26

was the unanimous election of veteran

Richmond East B.C. Liberal MLA Linda

Reid as speaker of the legislature.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain B.C. Liberal

MLA Doug Horne was elected deputy

speaker and Burnaby-Edmonds NDP MLA

Raj Chouhan is assistant deputy speaker.

British Columbia’s digital infrastructure continued to expand in 2013, including new cellular coverage along highways and upgraded fibre optic connections to schools.

More than 730 kilo-metres of new cellular coverage along B.C.’s remote highways have been completed to date. This expanded service means safer travel for drivers, faster reporting of road accidents and better response times by emergency services.

Under the Connecting British Columbia Agreement

(CBCA) signed in 2011, an additional 986 km is scheduled to be installed by 2017. Through this agreement, the ongo-ing work between the provincial government and TELUS continues to be the driving force in improving overall connectivity in B.C., including highway cel-lular expansion.

More than 730 kilometres of new cel-lular coverage along primary and second-ary highways, including segments along high-ways 1, 3, 3A, 6, 5, 5A, 6, 16, 37, 97 and the Coquihalla Highway.

• As of December 2013, 208 of 437 pub-lic schools have been upgraded from legacy copper to faster fibre optic Internet connec-tions.

• Maintaining 119 Internet points of presence within com-munities around B.C. to ensure local Internet service providers can provide service to their communities at an affordable price.

In the spring of 2013, Xplornet Communications was selected through a pro-curement process to help deliver the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative. Xplornet is a leader in

providing rural broad-band Internet service through satellite tech-nology.

Over the next four years, the province will invest up to $2 million to help bring afford-able satellite-based, high-speed Internet to citizens in remote or geographically chal-lenging locations.

The provincial gov-ernment continues to partner with the federal government and the All Nations Trust Company to support the Pathways to Technology proj-ect connecting First Nations communities to the Internet. In 2013, seven communities had connections installed.

Following are the highlights from the Jan. 17 Cariboo Regional District (CRD) regular board meeting:

Hospital board electionsThe Cariboo

Chilcotin Regional Hospital District and Cariboo Regional Hospital District boards elected their chair and vice-chair for 2014 at the meeting.

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area C (Bowron Lake-Barlow C re e k - B a r k e r v i l l e ) Director John Massier was re-elected as chair,

while vice-chair duties will be carried out by Area H (Canim Lake- Forest Grove) Director Margo Wagner.

Expense limitsThe CRD received a

letter from Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes invit-ing the board to submit feedback on the sec-ond phase of local government elections reform, which focuses on expense limits of candidates in local gov-ernment elections.

If passed, it is expected any changes in current legislation on expense limits would be devel-oped, introduced and implemented after the fall 2014 local elections.

Terri Lewis, execu-tive director of the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre (WC), encourages camera buffs to feature the women in their family and/or their friends.

“We need your pho-tos of the extraordinary women in your life. The Women’s Centre is looking for photos of Cariboo women past and present.”

Whether they are captured singing, laugh-ing, horseback riding, fishing or hugging their children, Lewis sug-gests folks decide the best setting and then take their best shot of their mothers, sisters, friends, daughters or grandmothers.

Then send in the photos to help the WC celebrate International Women’s Day.

If your photo is cho-sen, the WC will show

case your photo in a special gallery event on March 12.

Entries may be digital photos or film, colour or black-and-white, but must be submitted by March 6.

E-mail your pho-tos to [email protected] or mail to the 100 Mile House Women’s Centre, #102-

475 Birch Ave., 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0.

Be sure to include your name, the pho-t o g r a p h e r ’ s name, phone number and e-mail or physi-cal address, as well as photo information, such as the

people, place and activ-ity featured.

It is impor-tant to note that you must have permis-sion from the person or per-sons in the photo to use the photo, and you also need

to identify the women

from left to right with their correct name spellings.

Lewis notes all pho-tos become property of the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre for promotional purposes.

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 discus-sion about disability services in rural British Columbia is

one of a host of similar oppor-tunities happening around the province.

Participants will take a closer look at how people with disabili-ties can most effectively network with other community service providers, employers and com-munity members.

How to increase accessibility and decrease barriers for people with disabilities will also be a key component of the commu-nity conversation.

Groups will discuss innova-tion in disability services and improving accessibility for people living with disabilities;

personal supports, aids and devices; work and contribu-tion; housing and accessibility; social networks support; and, in particular, asset accumula-tion through the Registered Disability Savings Plan.

Those interested in attending this event are asked to regis-ter ahead by contacting training co-ordinator Kathy Stocks at 250-395-5121 or e-mail to [email protected]. More information is also avail-able from employer service manager Ulli Vogler at 250-398-0841 or e-mail [email protected].
