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 suf-fered a 3-2 loss to the Sicamous Eagles in 100 Mile House the next night.
Revelstoke rumbleThe night belonged to the spe-
cial 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 penal-ties 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 WranglersDespite 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 opportu-
nities 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.

Donovan Law is still out with a lower body injury and isn’t expected back until the new year.
Matt Wojak was also unavailable for the Sicamous game after being hit from behind in Revelstoke the night before.
Nathan Warren was at home in Prince George due to a family medical issue and was not available.
Warren will likely not play again for the Wranglers, as he has Junior A teams showing interest in him in both British Columbia and Manitoba, Rogers says, adding he will prob-ably take one of these options.
“If he does make the jump to Junior A permanently, he will be the first player in the Wranglers his-tory to move on. This is a great sign for the
organization and great opportunity for Nathan.
“We are actively look-ing for a goaltender
to replace Nathan on our roster.”
T h e Wrang lers have had incre dible results so far in their i n a u g u -ral season
in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.
100 Mile currently sits in second place in the Doug Birks Division standings with 38 points. Only divi-sion run-away leader Kamloops has more with 57.
In fact, there are only a handful of teams in the league that have more points than the Wranglers.
They include: Creston (42), Eddie Mountain Division; Nelson (54), and Beaver Valley (49), Neil Murdoch
Division; and Kelowna (49) and Osoyoos (40), Okanagan Division.
However, Rogers says the Wranglers have a “very tough” sched-ule after the Christmas break, including numer-ous games against top tier teams – Kamloops, Kelowna, Osoyoos and Fernie.
“Our players will need to play extremely well as a group to com-pete with these teams and I think we can. Our schedule before the break was much easier than our schedule will be after the break.
“I would like to thank the community of 100 Mile House for its great support to date. The support they give our players has exceeded everyone’s expectations – thank you!”
Community support has been outstanding

Mylan Rempel checked out his cookie following his recent Christmas perfor-mance with the other children from Our Place Child Care Center at Carefree Manor.
With upcoming holi-day 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, espe-cially when the cold weather drives more children indoors and food is shared at gather-ings. Children are more apt to get sick from illnesses, such as influ-enza 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 immunizedAlthough flu sea-
son is here, it’s not too late to get immu-nized against influenza. Immunization is safe and saves lives.
Make sure your child is on schedule to receive all of the vac-cines available through the provincial child-hood immunization program. Healthy chil-dren 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 con-ditions and who have
household members at high risk or under the age of two years.
Wash handsEighty per cent of
common infections are spread by hands. Children should wash their hands before eat-ing, after using the washroom, after sneez-ing, 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.
Cover nose and mouthTeach children to
sneeze or cough into the crook of the arm rather than their hands. This decreases the spread of disease from infection on the hands.
Stay home when sickChildren and the
people who care for them should stay home when sick, especially if they have a fever. Don’t visit grandparents or other elderly people if you or your child is sick; older people can have
much more severe ill-ness from influenza and other infections.
Adults with symp-toms of vomiting or diarrhea should avoid preparing or handling food until 48 hours after the last episode of diar-rhea 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 sharingEncourage 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.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Now may be the time to try something new, Aries. You are not one to shy away from anything, but right now you’re a bit apprehensive. Take a leap of faith.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, many people look to you as a leader, and they are wise to do so. You are especially trustworthy, and you will be asked to solve a few problems this week.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, 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 22Cancer, 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 23Leo, 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 22Virgo, 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 23Feeling 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 22Scorpio, 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.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, now is a good time to make resolutions and reconnect with distant friends. Rekindle relationships and commit to spending more time with friends and family.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20After the holidays, getting back into a routine can be challenging, Capricorn. But you like to stick to a schedule, and getting back on track is the way to do it.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although you have many friends, you recently have only spent time with a select few. It is a great time to reach out to those friends you haven’t seen in awhile.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Your competitive juices will be flowing this week, Pisces. Enjoy the competitive atmosphere but don’t take things too far.

There was a good turnout for the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club’s Blue & White game.More than 200 specta-tors watched and cheered for the 34 prospects – 30 skaters and four goalies – as they skated fast, hit hard and left nothing in the gas tank during a game that will
help determine which players formed the nucle-us of the roster.In his post-game comments, general man-ager/head coach Doug Rogers indicated he was pleased with what he saw – not only from the players but also the spec-tators.
“I am confident the blue/white game will pro-vide the Wranglers with some player announce-ments in the near future.
Once again the com-munity support was outstanding.”As for the game itself, Team Blue, with club vice-president Greg Aiken behind the bench, knocked off Team White, with club president and governor Tom Bachynski behind the bench, 5-2.There was no scoring in the first period, which saw both teams getting good chances, great saves, players driving to the net
and a lot of crashing and banging. 100 Mile House product Kevin Raimundo delivered a couple of crushing body checks.Team White’s Brady Ward opened the scor-ing at 19:32 of the second period, which saw the boys settle down to play some hockey. Ward also got his team’s second goal near the end of the second frame.Team Blue pushed back with three unanswered
markers in the second period on two goals by Lane Vanderwettering, including the game win-ner (one assist) and one by Luke Santerno (two assists). Connor Sloan chipped in with three helpers.Mark Boyce of Canim Lake got the insurance goal in the third and Braeden St. Louis scored with three seconds left on the clock.

Hearings wrap up with remarks
Supporters message: let us ‘live long and prosper’ at home
Carole Rooney
Free Press
Two local businessmen were
among the more than two dozen
people who spoke their minds when
the federal New Prosperity Gold-
Copper Project environmental
review panel wrapped up its pub-
lic hearing sessions with a Closing
Remarks Session on Aug. 23.
Len Doucette says he made two
presentations to the panel, one
as a South Cariboo Chamber of
Commerce (SCCC) representative,
and one for his Say Yes to New
Prosperity (SYNP) Facebook group.
Both were essentially a summary
of the social and economic impacts
the mine could have on 100 Mile
House, and he began with his SYNP
summary. “The new mine will be employing
700 people in the construction phase
and 600 during operation, with well
over 1,200 indirect jobs. We are a
resource-based community, and
with Boss Mountain [mine] closing
in the early 1980s, it is time that we
welcome a new mine – spe-
cifically, New Prosperity.”
Doucette notes he
explained his children and
grandchildren should have
an option to “stay, live and
prosper” in their home com-
munity and not be forced to
leave to find work.
“Student enrolment is
down by 38 per cent since from 2001.
The socio-economic index released
by School District #27 shows the
Cariboo-Chilcotin in 49th place out
of 57 [districts].”
This exodus of younger workers
seeking employment elsewhere is
demonstrated by the 25 per cent
ratio of seniors in the region, he says,
adding this is well over the provin-
cial average.On behalf of the SCCC, Doucette
notes he centred his panel
remarks on potential
mine impacts to the South
Cariboo economy.
“The economic and social
benefits that it will generate
will most certainly be felt
within the South Cariboo
community through jobs
– both direct and indirect
supplies in support of local busi-
ness.”Doucette says he felt his closing
remarks were well received by the
panel, but adds the session was not
as well attended as the hearings.
Nick Christianson addressed the
panel on behalf of himself and his
family.Christianson says he told the
panel it is now clear to him the mine
project controversy is merely a way
for First Nations groups to pursue
land-claims issues.
“The government needs to deal
with First Nations [land claims] ...
they are limiting progress because of
this stumbling block.
“I don’t think the [First Nations
involved] understand you can’t hold
the proponents as a ‘hostage’ to fur-
ther their land claims.”
He notes an Aug. 21 Prince
George Citizen article states some
First Nations presenters “repeatedly”
told the panel the mine location

The B.C. Liberal gov-ernment’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 estab-lished in the 1970s, the provincial government has had the option of declaring farmland exemptions if they are deemed in the “provin-cial interest.”
Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government has a habit of suspending independent oversight of BC Hydro deci-sions, 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 increas-es coming because of
10 years of mismanage-ment, and the [Premier Christy] Clark govern-ment is starting off on the wrong foot in my opinion by exempting Site C from the utili-ties commission, by exempting a rate review from the utilities com-mission, and now the ALC has also been pulled out.”
Bennett said there is no need to hold dupli-cate reviews of Site C, which would take a decade and more than $8 billion to construct.
“This is not the gov-ernment of B.C. doing this panel process,” Bennett told CKNW radio.
“These are inde-pendent 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-pro-vincial environmental assessment of Site C. began in 2011, with pub-lic hearings underway this month in the region.
The dam would flood an 83-kilometre stretch of valley bottom between Hudson’s Hope
to Fort St. John.It follows the com-
pletion of the W.A.C. Bennett dam in 1968 and the Peace Canyon dam in 1980.
BC Hydro estimates demand for electric-ity in the province will increase 40 per cent in the next 20 years, with-out the still-undefined demand from lique-fied natural gas export development.
NDP protests Site C farmland exemption
By Cathy McLeodOne of the
events I am looking for-ward to most in the new year is the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
Though we are coming off the best Winter Olympic Games ever
in Vancouver, where Canada broke the record for most gold med-als in a Winter Olympic Games, I predict we will see our athletes do even better!
I predict we will top our record-breaking
gold medal count by
reaching 16 this year. I also predict that we will win two of those gold medals in both men’s and women’s hockey. Go Team Canada!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and all the best in 2014.
Cathy McLeod is the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP.

Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA-SC) is committed to providing an environ-ment that is free from prejudice, discrimina-tion and harassment.
On behalf of the board of directors, I thank the hardworking staff for their excellent work. Through their dedication, the branch provides valuable ser-vices to clients.
Homeless Outreach continues to support many people in need, Living Life to the Full and Bounce Back are both now successfully established programs that help many in the
region. CMHA-SC invites everyone to our annual fundraiser, the 2014 Community Bike Ride, a family friendly event.
M-J Cousins is the president of CMHA-SC.
