Tim Hortons turns 50 years old this year. Yes, they have had about a dozen facelifts over the years, and dramatically increased their menu, but this year they have come up with something completely new. In February, Tim Hortons coffee shops will be equipped with TimsTV. TimsTV is an in-restaurant television chan- nel that will be installed at 2,200 locations and aired on Tim Hortons screens. What a better way to commemorate the tech- nological advances Tim Hortons coffee shops have made over these past 50 years than to launch their very own television channel? The idea is brilliant in this fast-growing, tech- nology-forward society. Glenn Hollis, vice-president of brand strategy and guest experience at Tim Hortons said their TIM HORTONS ANNOUNCES TV CHANNEL guests “have expressed interest in seeing more news, more entertainment, more weather and more Tims.” You can’t get that at Starbucks! Fans of the upcoming TimsTV launch have taken to Twitter to voice their opinions. The feedback has been very positive as well as co- medic, voicing opinions on the idea as well as creating clever puns using Tim’s treats. CBC Vancouver has opened the doors of CBC Canada House at 700 Hamilton St. for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. On Feb. 7, CBC Radio One’s The Early Edition with Rick Cluff will broadcast live from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m. Watch the Opening Ceremony on the out- door screen, spin the CBC prize wheel, grab a coffee from the McCafé Sampling Team, and pick up a broadcast schedule.

Circle all the hidden words.
The remaining letters spell an additional word related to friendship.
It was quite a feat squeezing into
my custom-made ski pants from
when I was 18 years old. I had
planned a much anticipated ski
trip with my husband, and then
realized I needed to dig out all my
winter gear and ski equipment.
I don’t know what took more
energy, physically fi nding the
gear and equipment, or mentally
preparing myself for being on the
slopes. It has been 15 years since
I stood on my skis.
I was quite relieved when I re-
membered the velcro straps that
loosened as I pulled up my ski
pants around my wider hips and
“mummy-tummy.” I could stand
in the pants.
Then, my husband told me to
sit down, squat, and fall in them.
Did I have to? They felt so good
in that moment.
I could squat – if I pulled up the
legs to position my curves ac-
cordingly. I could walk around
in them – if I didn’t mind that
“they” (my pants) were strate-
gically working on giving me
an atomic wedgie. I could sit in
them – if I pulled the straps off
my shoulders and the bib down
below my chest. Yep, I sure could
wear my ski pants – for about fi ve
minutes, as long as I didn’t move.
I dug through our chest of draw-
ers pulling out our winter gear. I
could only fi nd one glove, was
missing my toque, and my gog-
gles had lost all the foam from
around the edges.
I couldn’t remember where
my ski equipment was – at fi rst.
It was all stored at my parents’
house – where I imagined a fam-
ily of spiders made my cushy
boots their new home. (Hence,
the reason I requested my mom
vacuum them before I got there!)
I tried to mentally prepare my-
self. It’s like riding a bike; you
never forget.
I also never forget the time I
fl ew into a tree, ran into a parked
snowmobile, the numerous face-
plants, and the night my best
friend tore her ACL joint (in the
knee). Did I mention that I am
accident-prone and my husband
wants me to wear a helmet – not
just for skiing?
It has been 15 years!
But, it still feels like yesterday.
I am so excited to hit the slopes!
HoroscopesFebruary 10 - February 16, 2014
You can have a lot of fun with others if you’re prepared to fi t in with the general consensus. You may become easily annoyed when there’s little interest in what you suggest but this is something you have to accept for now. Pay attention to what’s going on around you because you can see things that you have previously missed.
Being able to progress with your goals involves commitment to others. What needs to be put in place should be obvious. You’re well equipped to deal with all the details in a capable manner. Though on this point the need to go over things again may be pos-sible later. Knowledge gained in the past will be helpful right now.
Your head can be swimming with ideas that encourage you to take a risk or do something quickly before you change your mind. You may easily overlook detail & the amount of work something may become on a daily basis – it’s better to hesitate for now. You need to see how this desire may wane in time.
You may gain some insight into what motivates somebody else, where in the past this has been diffi cult to establish. Resist the feeling to take immediate action to get things established. You need to look at this as a stage, not an end result. Commitments you enjoy need to be considered.
This week may bring personal matters to fruition. There’s strong involvement with others. Your focus needs to be on what you can develop for yourself, not the way you may be able to get someone else to alter their position. Put your ideas forward & see what sort of reaction you get.
There’s a lot building up. Be mindful of details that wouldn’t be fully obvious yet with any decisions you may feel responsible about committing yourself to. Don’t be tempted to pay out or lend money on trust as you may very easily lose it. Carefully consider things you want to buy for their future value in your life.
There can be much to enjoy, making you very busy. Even if it means a lot of work for you, the energy you need to be able to man-age it will be there. Opportunities can present themselves related to a group of people. If you’re looking for some sort of recommenda-tion it’ll be forthcoming. Spending a lot is not necessary.
Obligations or expected commitments that have been building up will reach a head. Be mindful of how you’ll handle this per-sonally. It’s as if you need to operate on two different levels. You need to be able to withdraw in some way to give yourself time to contemplate. Then you’ll know how to establish matters.
A vision of what’s possible to develop in the future can result in a sense of much to look forward to. This’ll likely involve a group of people & much communication that can result in the fl ow of many ideas for you. Even so, the exact position of somebody else may be hard to see. Get into the habit of thinking about things later.
Results somebody else is reaping in their life for good or bad will be obvious to you because of what they’ve done in the past. Don’t lose track of your own priorities & what you need to focus on for your own progress; be mindful of obligations you now have & those you accept to late July.
You’re in a strong position to infl uence somebody else in a way that’ll be benefi cial to your own position or things you need for yourself. In part this may occur because they’re more openly ex-pressive of the goals they have or want to develop in the future. Your test is to remain committed to yourself & your needs.
Anything not quite right with your health will reach a peak & become obvious. If you need more rest, make sure to fi nd the time. It will do wonders. You’ll begin to realise you need to be more organised on a daily basis if you’re to have success in working towards the goals you have & accomplishing them.

The Kamloops Blazers put in
one of their best home ice efforts
of the season despite a 4-2 loss to
the veteran laden Kelowna Rock-
ets last Friday.
The Rockets scored the game’s
fi rst goal on a long and quick
shot from the blueline that fooled
goaltender Bolton Pouliot to give
the Rockets a 1-0 lead only 1:15
into the game. The Blazers battled
from there, stride for stride with
the CHL’s top team. The Rockets
added another goal late in the pe-
riod on the power play on a tic-tac-
toe play that went into the open net
for a 2-0 Rockets lead after the fi rst
period. The Blazers outshot the
Rockets 12-11 in the period.
The Rockets got an early power
play goal as Pouliot coughed up a
rebound and was tapped in as the
Rockets took a 3-0 lead 2:13 into
the second period. From there,
the Blazers took over and were
dominant at times. Deven Sider-
off, who is a 16-year-old prospect
for the Blazers, was the catalyst
as he had a couple of outstanding
chances that goaltender Jackson
Whistle turned aside. Sideroff
played on a line with 16-year-old
Nick Chyzowski and 17-year-old
Collin Shirley on the night.
The Blazers also had 15-year-
old Jake Kryski in the line-up and
he had a great chance using his
speed to blow past a Rockets de-
fender but put the shot wide. One
of Whistle’s best saves came at
the end of the period as he robbed
Chase Souto of an open net div-
ing across to make a save to pre-
serve a 3-0 Rockets lead headed
into the third period.
The Blazers continued to push in
the third period, but Whistle was
outstanding in making 35 saves
on the night. The Rockets added
another goal on the power play
after a scramble in front of the
Blazers net for a 4-0 Rockets lead.
The Blazers kept it coming in this
one, desperately trying to score.
Souto was robbed by a sprawling
Whistle on a partial break.
Finally, Cole Ully broke the shut-
out with a power play goal with
7:40 left in the game. Ully’s shot
beat Whistle on the blocker side
to make it a 4-1 game. Despite
the score, the Blazers kept it com-
ing as Kryski had another great
chance, but Whistle made the
save. The Blazers made it 4-2 with
1:47 to play as Ully barely got a
puck past a sprawling Whistle.
The play was originally signalled
as no goal and the play carried on.
After a whistle, they reviewed the
play and it was ruled a goal. It was
a great effort by the Blazers as
they never backed down, but they
lost 4-2 to the Rockets.
The future was on display as
Sideroff was outstanding for the
Blazers and was the game’s sec-
ond star while Kryski, who had
some great chances tonight, was
the game’s third star.
The following night, the Blazers
were overmatched in the third peri-
od playing their fourth game in fi ve
nights as the Rockets scored three
times in the third period for a 7-3
win over the Blazers in Kelowna.
It was a poor start for the Blazers
as 16-year-old Cole Kehler made
his third career WHL start. The
fi rst two shots the Rockets had beat
Kehlern giving the Rockets a 2-0
lead only 3:13 into the game. The
Blazers stuck with it and were out-
shooting the Rockets 11-3 midway
through the fi rst period. They fi nal-
ly got a break when Shirley tapped
home a rebound. The assists on the
play were from Chyzowski and
Sideroff. The Rockets made it 3-1
before the period was out.
The Blazers made a goaltend-
ing change for the second period
with Pouliot in goal. Pouliot was
beat early to make it a 4-1 Rockets
lead. The young Blazers continued
to stay with it though and gained
some momentum as the period car-
ried on. Kryski had another great
chance to get his fi rst WHL goal,
but Jordon Cooke denied him in
tight. Shirley tallied his second
goal of the night set up nicely by
Josh Connolly and Sideroff to
make it 4-2. The Blazers then got a
goal from 17-year-old defenseman
Austin Douglas who wired a point
shot past goaltender Jordon Cooke
as the Blazers trailed 4-3 headed
into the third period.
The Rockets made quick work
of the Blazers in the third period
with three goals to take the 7-3
win over the Blazers.
The Blazers had another great
effort from their young players
as 16-year-old call-up Sideroff
fi nished with two assists and
15-year-old Kryski was outstand-
ing for the second straight night.
Kehler started the game stopping
9 of 12 shots in the fi rst period.
Pouliot fi nished the game turning
aside 23 of 27 shots he faced.
The Edmonton Oil Kings showed
why they are in fi rst place in the
WHL’s Eastern conference as
they scored three goals in the third
period to power past the Blazers
4-1 on Wednesday night.
The Blazers had a strong fi rst
period but trailed 1-0. The fi rst
period was full of penalties as the
Blazers were forced to kill off a
full two-minute 5-on-3 power
play for the Oil Kings. Sam Grist
was lost with a fi ve-minute major
for interference and Ryan Rehill
was given a delay of game pen-
alty during the kill. The Blazers
had two early power plays, but
Tyler Santos was terrifi c for the
Oil Kings making 15 saves in the
period to preserve the 1-0 lead.
The penalties continued in the sec-
ond period as the Blazers had three
power plays in the fi rst 10 minutes,
but failed to score. Edson Harlach-
er hit the crossbar on a shot on the
power play and Santos was there to
stop other chances by the Blazers.
The Blazers did fi nd the net though
as Matt Bellerive recorded his fi rst
goal with the Blazers putting home
a rebound off a shot from Carson
Bolduc to tie the game up at 1-1.
The Blazers were strong in the sec-
ond period as Ully was robbed on
