Warrant out for Beaudry The Creston violent offender failed to check in after his release CRESTON VALLEY ADVANCE

A countrywide warrant has been issued for the arrest of high-risk offender Jason Beaudry after he was supposed to check in with his parole officer on Monday but didn’t. He had previously violated conditions of his parole on Saturday. “Unfortunately, his probation order wasn’t on the system, so we didn’t lay charges until this week,” said Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan this morning.

It is believed that Beaudry has not yet returned to the Creston Valley, although he intended to, and is currently in the Kelowna area. The Ministry of Justice’s Corrections Branch notified the RCMP on Friday that Beaudry, who is described as aboriginal, five feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, intended to return to his Creston residence.

Medical maverick will give lecture in Cranbrook BARRY COULTER Townsman Staff

A member of the Bull River Bachelors Club impatiently awaits the greener browse of spring on Monday, March 17. The first day of spring dawned on Thursday with a surprise snowfall, just in case we were getting used to the warmer weather.

Canada’s most renowned medical journalist — and a maverick in his own right — is coming to Canada with a revolutionary message. Dr. W. Gifford-Jones, whose newspaper column “The Doctor Game” has appeared in newspapers across the country, including the Daily Townsman, will be speaking about cardiovascular health at his March 25 appearance at the Prestige, and how certain natural substances — in particular Vitamin C and Lysine — go a long way to not only preventing the hardening of our arteries as we

age, but actually reversing that condition — atherosclerosis. What makes this idea revolutionary, Gifford-Jones says, is not only its simplicity, but the unwillingness of the “medical establishment” to accept it as therapy. “I’ve never been in Cranbrook, so I’m looking forward to talking to people there,” Gifford-Jones told the Townsman before setting out on his tour, which is following on the release of his latest book, “What I Learned As A Medical Journalist” (a collection of columns).
