St. Mary’s School’s grade 5 class recently hosted their own DARE grad celebration for their parents and teachers. The class did an amazing job showing what they learned and the class would like to especially thank their DARE leader Constable Lisa for being a fabulous teacher! DARE is a program supported by the RMCP that stands for Drug Awareness Resistance Education. Way to go grade 5!

One killed in Elk Valley Kimberley man denied accident on Tuesday funding for cancer drug SAR AH KUCHARSKI The Free Press

An accident involving two vehicles in Sparwood has claimed the life of one person and sent at least two others to hospital.

Elk Valley RCMP was dispatched at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, April 21 to the incident.

One passenger was ejected from one of the vehicles, resulting in a fatality. The drivers of each of the vehicles were transferred to hospital, with one being flown to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary and one being taken to the Elk Valley Hospital.

There were other passengers in both vehicles, but the current state of their injuries is not yet known. Those involved in the crash are young adults above the age of 18, Sgt. Will Thien with the Elk Valley RCMP said.

The investigation has been passed on to the East Kootenay Traffic Services investigators due to the severity of the accident.

Drug costs $3200 every 21 days, right now BC Cancer Agency won’t fund it for Chris Weitzel C A R O LYN G R A N T

Diagnosed with Stage 3c esophageal cancer in February of 2014, Chris Weitzel believes that a trip to Mexico for treatment vastly improved his quality, and length, of life. But now he feels that taking his health care into his own hands has cost him — he says the BC Cancer Agency won’t fund the drug he needs because he sought alternative treatment. And that drug, Herceptin — costs $3200 every 21 days.

Weitzel says he was told by an oncologist at the BC Cancer Agency that the chemo they recommended would not save him.

“I asked how much the chemo

would prolong my life — no answer. I was not open to the amount of chemo they suggested. At this time Herceptin was prescribed.

“I was not able to have radiation due to my inability to swallow. My throat closed completely for three weeks and the medical system did nothing about this. I asked for options. No.” At this point, Weitzel began to search for other forms of cancer therapy that might help him and he found a more holistic treatment in Mexico, which included chemo but at a very low dose.

Cranbrook RCMP responded to 159 calls for service from April 13 to 19.

April 13 11:09 a.m. Vandalism to railway equipment was reported.

11:53 a.m. The theft of a prescription from a purse at a business was reported.

11:57 a.m. An individual reported receiving harassing phone calls from an unknown number and unknown person.

12:08 p.m. Vandalism to a vehicle was reported on the 300 block of 9th Avenue South. The vandalism occurred overnight. The vehicle was scratched with a key.

1:03 p.m. Abandoned 911 call. Police attended and found that a window at the residence had been broken. An individual was arrested for vandalism.

4:00 p.m. A possible impaired driver was reported. The vehicle was a white Grand Am that cut off the complainant and was driving erratically. Police located the vehicle, which was parked, and spoke with the registered owner.

There was no further evidence of impairment.

7:10 p.m. A caller reported a purple scooter was stolen from their vehicle sometime overnight on the 400 block of 22nd Avenue South.

April 14 3:28 a.m. An assault

was reported. The subject had gone to the hospital and asked for police assistance to report they’d been assaulted.

9:17 a.m. A vehicle was seen speeding through a school zone.

1:45 p.m. A caller reported seeing a suspicious person in their vehicle outside of a local business. Police attended and when asked the person said they were only using the free wifi in the area.

6:39 p.m. A breach of court order conditions was reported — the complainant saw the subject in a place they were not supposed to be under the court order.

April 15

12:08 a.m. Alberta RCMP contacted the Cranbrook detachment about a local that had been contacting someone in Alberta by text against a no-contact order. The individual was arrested and kept in custody until a court appearance in the morning.

4:50 a.m. Police looked into an audible alarm that had been triggered. It turned out that the door at the location had not been properly secured and it appeared that there had not been a break and enter.

1:10 p.m. An individual reported finding a bag containing a white powder. The bag is being dusted for fingerprints and if any are found, the

substance will be tested to see if it is drugs.

2:08 p.m. Vandalism to a vehicle was reported. The vehicle was parked on the 2300 block of 3rd Street North and had its tires slashed.

3:32 p.m. A report of a phone scam — the caller purported to be offering a free night’s stay at the Marriott in exchange for credit card information.

4:22 p.m. An individual was seen urinating on a local business. The person got into a blue Chevy Suburban with gold trim.

April 16 8:14 a.m. A local business reported that two PS4 video game consoles were stolen. Police are looking at surveillance.

Drug funding denied, cancer patient says Continued from page 1 “I was left with no other option but to leave the country to save my life,” he said.

While in Mexico, Weitzel was under the care of a licensed oncologist and MD. “I did chemo and various other modalities including the mono clonal antibody (anti cancer drug) Herceptin. I am required to take this drug every 21 days. For six months to a year. It costs $3200 every 21 days.”

“I came back to Canada (much healthier) and had an appointment with my Oncologist. The first thing she said was ‘wow, you look great’. My CT scans at this point have shown huge improvements.

She commented that the only thing that was working for me was the Herceptin.

And here’s where Weitzel ran into the road block.

“The oncologist said that ‘we

(BC Cancer Agency) probably wont fund it because you have not done “our” chemo’,” Weitzl said.

“She bargained with me saying that if I took one dose of chemo (who knows what) she would fund my Herceptin, then went on to say if I took a half dose she would fund this. I do have this recorded.”

Weitzel then missed his next appointment with an oncologist because he was out of the country getting infused with Herceptin (at his own expense). He says the BC Cancer Agency won’t infuse him here, even at his own expense.

“I have now missed two rounds of my drugs due to expense and inability to have it infused here,” Weitzel said.

Weitzel has attempted to get funding through a trial with Rauch Pharmaceuticals, but the company wants a letter of confirmation from the BCCA that he has been denied and so far has been unsuc-

cessful in getting one.

“If I’m not denied funding give me my medication, and if I am denied, give me a letter,” he said. “I really believe that because I have chosen to take my health into my own hands and ask questions, that I am being punished.”

Weitzel had another meeting with an oncologist last week, but has still not received an answer on whether they will fund the medication.

The Bulletin contacted the BC Cancer Agency for an explanation and received this reply: “The BC Cancer Agency has treatment protocols in place to ensure that people in BC receive the very best in evidence-based cancer care. We work to be flexible and compassionate with patients when discussing their treatment options, while always balancing the need to ensure patient safety and efficacy.”

8:42 a.m. A caller reported seeing two people grabbing at items blowing in the wind. The items turned out to be bills floating around in the air. The person later thought it was suspicious and reported it.

9:41 a.m. Report of lost jewelry.

10:56 a.m. An iPhone was reported stolen from a change room at the high school.

11:07 a.m. Police responded to an assault reported from a local business. The owner and a customer got into an argument and the customer tried to kick the owner. The suspect had left and the owner did not want to pursue charges.

11:44 a.m. An individual reported that a phone scammer had defrauded them out of $300. The scammer purported to be from a computer repair company wanting to remove a virus.

12:08 p.m. A caller reported that their email had been hacked and financial information, as well as cash from the caller’s bank account, had been stolen.

1:31 p.m. Report of a sexual assault. The complainant and suspect were known to each other.

April 17 10:18 p.m. A male was reported to be lying face down on a lawn. Police checked on him and he was fine — just taking a rest.

12:14 p.m. A possible impaired driver was seen driving into Cranbrook. The blue Dodge came in from the west and is registered in Creston. The information

was passed to Creston RCMP. 1:11 p.m. A wallet was reported stolen from a jacket at the library.

4:04 p.m. Police went to talk to a student at a local school after inappropriate images were found on the student’s phone.

5:50 p.m. Another individual reported the Marriott free night stay phone scam.

11:07 p.m. An erratic driver was reported in a white pickup truck. The truck was seen speeding, passing and cutting people off on the way to Moyie. Police located the vehicle there and spoke to the individual. A small amount of marijuana was seized.

10:32 p.m. Vandalism to a vehicle was reported. The vandalism had occurred in the past hour and a half as the vehicle was parked on the 1700 block of 2nd Street North.

April 18 1:58 a.m. Police looked into an alarm at a local business and found signs of a break and enter. The matter is under investigation.

12:05 p.m. A caller reported that a cat was caught in a cat trap. Police and the SPCA attended and released the feline. The owner of the property said they had not placed the trap and the SPCA seized it.

12:12 p.m. A car was vandalized with a rock on the 100 block of 17th Avenue South.

1:28 p.m. A caller reported an individual running naked down the street. The individual was located and apprehended under the Mental Health Act.

2:40 p.m. A report came in about a possible impaired driver in a Chevy Malibu. Police located the vehicle driving, but it attempted to evade police. When police managed to pull the person over they determined he was impaired.

Winnipeg folk heroes play Lotus show “W Ferdy Bell and

hen I started singing with JD Edwards last winter,” says Winnipeg’s singer-songwriter Cara Luft, “I felt as though I was falling in love with music and with performing all over again. Sometimes artists need to shake things up, get some fresh ideas, some creative collaboration, to remind us why we’re out there slogging it out. JD is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard, and he keeps me on my toes. It’s a good partnership. We encourage the other person to grow and stretch.”

And as the Small Glories, both Cara Luft and JD Edwards will unveil their duo collaboration live in concert at Lotus Books Thursday, April 24 (with guests Connor Foote and Clayton Parsons).

Cara Luft should need no explanation, but here it is: a Canadian folk-singing treasure for nigh 20 years, Luft emerged from Winnipeg’s music community

as an independently-spirited acoustic rocker and developed a North American reputation as an engaging performer and thoughtful composer; her advanced guitar technique (inspired by Pentangle’s Bert Jansch and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page) also set her apart and above most of her contemporaries. Recruited into the folk supergroup The Wailin’ Jennies, Luft & co.’s 2004 album 40 Days won that year’s Juno Award for Best Folk Album. However, industry pressures from the group’s sudden nationwide explosion increased personal tensions, and Luft has been Jenny-free for a good decade — and much happier where she is.

Which is a good thing.

Otherwise we wouldn’t have experienced her critical 2007 masterpiece The Light Fantastic, the follow-up Darlingford, or her new incarnation with the Small Glories. Where does she find the time?

“I definitely need

The Small Glories: JD Edwards and Cara Luft. some time off,” sighs Luft, “but more importantly: I need a home.

I’ve been without a home for over two years now and it’s been a hard journey, never having a stable place to go to, to properly decompress and recoup and re-energize and rest. It looks

like I’ll be building a tiny house this summer during our days off, so I’m trusting I’ll finally have a home of my own come the fall!”

Luft explains her current roadwork routine.

“It’s so important nowadays as a touring Canadian folksinger to have

your finger in a lot of different pies, and not just focus on one thing.

I’ve been collaborating a lot over the past few years, and that’s helped keep me afloat, both financially and creatively.

I also do more than just write and perform and tour; I teach a lot at

music camps — it provides me with a sense of community and belonging, and I’ve discovered I have a skill-set that’s incredibly diverse.”

JD Edwards has been making waves through his self-titled band, which has been an addition to the hard-grooving bluesbased rock and roll that the Canadian Prairies are renowned for. And like fellow Winnipegger Neil Young, Edwards has no problems shifting gears between electric and acoustic settings. Hence: his involvement with Luft.

The Small Glories’ debut album was recorded with producer (and 54-40 alumnus) Neil Osbourne.

“The album captures a very intimate moment; the introduction and beginning of a musical journey for Cara and me,” says Edwards.

“We have a strong selection of awesome tunes that will take listeners on a journey through time and space as we see and know it. We’re

exploring the idea of home with this selection of music, when we’re in it and when we’re away from it. Neil was amazing to work with, as were all the musicians who joined the party. Capturing the moments was easy; painting the pictures and how we wanted to tell the story was where the challenge lay.

The three of us were getting to know each other better as we recorded this record.

“There are new songs Cara and I worked on together, old songs we brought to the project that might not have had proper homes in the past but now have found their place, and covers and traditional tunes that have had ‘The Small Glories’ treatment/arrangement. It’s new and refreshing.

The Small Glories (with guests Connor Foote and Clayton Parsons) perform at Lotus Books (33-10th Ave.S., Cranbrook), Thursday April 23; showtime 7:30 pm. $18 advance, $20 door.

The tour will stop in Cranbrookon Sunday, Sept. 27, at Western Financial Place.

Artist pre-sale runs Tuesday, April 21 at 10 a.m. through Thursday, April 23 at 10 p.m. local time or while supplies last. Tickets go on-sale to

the general public Friday, April 24 at 10 a.m. local time.

There is no question that these two are a force to be reckoned with.

With a list of awards and accolades a country mile long, Brandt is recognized as the most awarded male Canadian country artist in history; Brody, the number one

Painting Auction to Support Bike Park Mike Redfern

This Sunday, April 26, is Bob McWhinnie Day in Kimberley when folks will gather at the Skate & Bike Park on Rotary Drive to celebrate the memory of the man who, almost singlehandedly, created this popular venue for Kimberley kids and youth.

This year a special fundraising event will be held at the Green Door in the Platzl just two days earlier, on Friday, April 24. Kimberley artist Simon Haiduk has donated 20 of his digital paintings to be auctioned at the Green Door that evening, the proceeds to go towards the expansion of the bike skills park. The glowing colours of Simon’s spiritual paintings of nature and wildlife are

well known to many art lovers across BC from the Sunshine Coast to the East Kootenay and far beyond. Friday night’s auction gives Kimberley art lovers an opportunity to acquire one of his works and help raise funds for the bike park at the same time.

The event will start at 5 p.m. when appetizers, entrees, and drinks will be available for purchase and consumption at the Green Door prior to the start of the live auction at 8 p.m.

The event is sponsored by The Green Door and the Kimberley Free Wheelers. To get a glimpse of his paintings, Simon’s artwork can be seen online at www.artbysimon.com or on Facebook at Simon Haiduk Art.

most played Canadian country artist on radio.

Brody also recently took home Country Album of the Year at both the 2014 CCMA and Juno Awards.

Brody and Brandt share commonalities beyond the scope of their success in country music, making the decision to partner on a national tour an easy one.

Both were born in Western Canada and were raised with strong family values — a common thread that is clear not only in how they conduct themselves (including a deep investment and commitment to those in need) but a dominating force in their songs.

They both set off for Nashville early in their careers, which proved to be a defining time for each of them. As a result, both continue to hold the rich history found in Nashville close to their hearts by still actively writing and recording there.

“Dean and I are both deeply proud of our Canadian roots,” says Brandt. “Touring our

Paul Brandt and Dean Brody play Western Financial Place in Cranbrook Sunday, Sept. 27. Tickets are on sale in Cranbrook on Friday, April 24. country together this fall allows us to engage with both sets of fans and celebrate the heritage of country music that inspired our careers.”

“Canada has the greatest fans in the world,” adds Brody. “We are truly excited to bring our two styles together and create an unforgettable experience for them.”

In addition to the tour, both are busy with their latest music. Today, Brody released his fifth

studio album Gypsy Road. The record covers huge emotional terrain, reflects Brody’s time living in different parts of the country and features the top 10 single Upside Down.

In March, Brandt released his latest single Nothing which recently hit #30 on the Canadian Artists chart. Nothing joins two hit singles this past year - Forever Summer and Get a Bed. For ticketing information, please visit:

Don’t sell heritage

Wednesday, APRIL 22, 2015

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

I am a lifelong Kootenay resident, and have lived in Cranbrook since 1976. I do not belong to the Arts Council, and really don’t care whether they end up in the old fire hall or not. But I do think it would be short-sighted if the City were to sell the old fire hall.

Cranbrook has not been kind to its heritage buildings; this one the City can

control. If it were sold, the amount it would fetch would be only a small addition to the City’s budget, and for only one year. It would be preferable for the City to retain control of the building, and find a suitable occupant who would not harm the structure or its reputation.

It is important that the City take steps to ensure that it remains controllable by the City in the long-term, so at least the possibility of an art gallery or other public

use in the future remains. But, please, don’t consider this as a contest between arts council and effective city management. It is really just this simple” Should heritage public property remain public, so far as possible, or not?

And why not host an open house, perhaps on a market Saturday, so we can all have a look inside the building?

Battle of Ypres a baptism of fire for fledgling force of Canadians M u r r ay B r e ws t e r Canadian Press

T

he first hint Pte. Alfred Baggs had that something was wrong came when a horse-drawn French ammunition wagon rattled past his startled foot patrol late in the afternoon amid the chalky, ruined streets of Vlamertinghe, a Belgian town.

Headed in the wrong direction, it was followed quickly by a car, driven by a French colonel and overflowing with wounded who “looked deathly pale,” Baggs confided to his brown, leather-bound field notebook.

The enemy had broken through, he was told, before the car and the caissons disappeared in a cloud of dust towards the crushed Belgian city of Ypres, just a few kilometres distant.

Baggs, a Briton by birth but a new Canadian by choice, seemed shocked and excited by the prospect of action.

It was April 22, 1915, a sunny, but cold, spring day.

The 1st Canadian Division had only been in the field a few weeks when the Germans, who’d regularly shelled the tiny bulge of territory known as the Ypres Salient, opened a massive offensive.

Mostly forgotten in popular imagination and rarely taught in high school history, the Second Battle of Ypres was the baptism of fire for the fledgling force of Canadians, hastily assembled at the outbreak of the First World War the previous summer.

At the time, Ypres was the last major Belgian city not under the boot of Kaiser Wihelm’s army, and had been the scene of a desperate, successful stand by the British Expeditionary Force the previous fall.

It is also notable as the first time the Germans unleashed clouds of poison gas to subdue resistance in allied trenches, says Melanie Morin-Pelletier, the Canadian War Museum’s expert in the First World War. The Canadians would be mostly spared the initial, horrifying waves of green vapour which drifted across no man’s land. It was pushed on by the wind after being released from 5,730 industrial canisters on the German lines.

The initial blow fell mostly on the French colonial troops who had rushed past Baggs. He noted in his diary how everyone was talking about how the enemy attack that had taken place under the cover of “asphyxiation gas.”

At the time, none of the Allied commanders knew precisely what type of gas had been used, although they had been warned it was coming by captured German prisoners, according to the army’s

Wikipedia

German prisoners of the Canadians are pictured wearing gas masks during the Second Battle of Ypres, April, 1915. official history.

But Morin-Pelletier said there was little they could do to prepare for it.

It was a Canadian doctor - Capt. Francis Scrimger - who first recognized the eerie, floating cloud as chlorine.

Gas masks were just in their infancy and the best protection Scrimger could suggest was for troops to urinate into their handkerchiefs and hold them over their faces until the cloud had passed.

As they fought to close a six-kilometre gap in the line created by the French collapse, the Canadians would feel the full force of gas on April 24, two days after the first volley.

Capt. William Boyd, a medical officer attached to a field ambulance unit, visited a casualty clearing station jammed with the dead and the dying.

“There I saw a sight which for sheer ghastliness equals anything to be seen in any dressing station,” he wrote in memoirs published in 1916.

“Some were lying in a state of stupor, the flies buzzing about their faces; some were sitting up gasping for breath, with hands and faces of a deep, dusky hue, evidently in the greatest distress; over the countenance of others the pallid hues of death were beginning to creep, whilst a few had fallen back and with gurglings in the throat were passing away into the undiscovered country.”

The Canadians drove the Germans back over several days, but at great cost.

In a series of counterattacks that bought time for the British and French to deploy reinforcements, the 1st Canadian Division and the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, which fought separately, lost 6,714 dead and wounded, or about one man in three.

Both the official Canadian army history, written after the war, and Baggs’ diary paint a picture of desperate, confused skirmishes. They were mostly fought in the darkness amid the sudden, unworldly flash of shells and the spark of rifle fire.

Boyd’s account of the counterattacks spoke about medics who arrived on the scene and “found no field ambulance, no doctors, nothing but men fighting in dark, ploughed field; the grim scene lit by the light of star-shells, with shrapnel bursting all along the road to prevent reinforcements coming up.”

Under fire and with two of their number killed, the medics “had to pick the wounded out of the fields and ditches, and get them into the cars as best they could.”

Boyd went on to be a noted pathologist and founding member of the National Cancer Institute.

Baggs also survived the war, but never returned to Canada.

He was wounded and suffered shell shock in 1916, but remained in uniform as a military police officer until the end of the war when he was discharged and chose to marry his English sweetheart.

Filling the years: What’s the secret?

“The trouble with a future retirement is that, before you know it, it’s all over you.”

Anonymous

S

orry, George. I didn’t forget your questions about retirement. It’s just that the old brain doesn’t work as fast as it used to and I forget stuff.

Back in the last century when I retired from teaching (the nearest I’d come to work for more than forty years) I used to get really concerned about doing nothing and accomplishing nothing worthwhile. I’d creep guiltily into my bed at night and realize that I had succeeded in doing nothing memorable all day and thus feel guilty. After a year of this unrest, I found myself a new job but, luckily for all concerned, that idea fell through.

In desperation, I considered some carpentry projects but all that I succeeded in making was, according to some critics, noise and sawdust and a few wobbly structures.

A lady friend, Florrie, couldn’t wait until she retired from her civil service job. There were so many things, she said, that she hadn’t had time to do. When, at last, she cleaned out her desk and retired she found that she couldn’t remember most of the things she’d

desperately wanted to do, while the ones she remembered were far too expensive, boring or utterly silly.

Jessica tells me that her Mike used to garden a great deal when he was working for the C.P.R. and so often on call. After retirement and a healthy pension, Mike continued and expanded his gardening so that Jessica spent most of her time bottling, canning and freezing the fruits of her husband’s hobby, food that she and Mike were unable to consume. She wishes that he’d quit. She too would like to Peter retire, she says. retired from his job Warland as aFred manager for a men’s wear company but soon became bored and was driving his wife insane, getting in her way about the house. He started selling the pottery he’d been making in his spare time and making a good profit. He expanded and hired some help. He’s thinking of retiring again but, somehow, I doubt it. He doesn’t have the patience to merely recreate.

The trouble is: most of us here in Canada retire too early. We all live so much longer now than did our ancestors and so, after retirement at sixty or so, we have years to fill in.

As I said, I personally, have I worked at one job or another for over forty years and, so far, I’ve been officially retired for twenty six years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

That is a long time to be doing nothing useful.

Of course, if you’ve been clever or extremely lucky and have tons of dosh to play with, you can go into training and get fitter than you’ve ever been before then you can book a trip to Nepal and climb Everest or even run a marathon at the North Pole, the way some folk are doing right now. There are all sorts of options for a healthy fruit-cake who is retired.

One widow sold her house and her car and now she cruises perpetually, from one ship to another. She has no housework to do, no cooking to perspire over, entertainment every night, tons of company and, as she told me, if she feels woozy, there are doctors aboard. She has been around the world a few times, she thinks, but seldom gets off the boat. It all looks much the same, she tells me.

My neighbour told me that he didn’t get in his wife’s way when he retired. He went off with his golfing cronies and she with hers.

They just bumped into each other occasionally at home, the same as always.

But then, in your case George, you might volunteer. You’re retiring not retarded. There are all sorts of organizations that could possibly use your help, if you don’t get in the way.

You’d probably meet all sorts of interesting people and you wouldn’t have to stay at home and watch TV and drool. The lovely Felicity would be delighted, I’m sure.

Cranbrook archers hit the mark in April Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Pinpoint accuracy from a contingent of local Cranbrook sharp-shooters continues to put the East Kootenay city on the map in the world of archery.

The Cranbrook Archery Club sent a handful of athletes to a pair of events in early April, bringing home a total of four medals (two gold, two bronze) and a brand new provincial record.

Keelan Boyle and Luc Volard each claimed gold medals at the 2015 B.C. Indoor Provincial Championships in Oliver, with Volard staking his ownership of a provincial record in the process.

While Boyle and Volard competed on provincial soil, Brittany Johnson brought home two bronze medals from the AAE Arizona Cup in Phoenix.

Brittany Johnson (junior division) was joined by fellow compound competitors Elaine Johnson (senior division) and Kevin Evans (men’s open para division) at the AAE Arizona Cup, April 7 to 12.

Brittany and Elaine, both of Cranbrook, competed in the compound combined women’s event, with Brittany earning a bronze medal

after finishing third in the junior women division.

Brittany scored 678 of 720 possible points on 72 arrows from a 50-metre distance to claim bronze.

A total of 11 junior women competitors, including Brittany, shot in the event.

It was a busy weekend for Brittany, who also claimed a bronze medal as a member of the Canadian women’s compound team, which also featured Fiona McClean (Windsor, Ont.) and Tricia Oshiro (Calgary).

The Canadian women finished third behind first-place Mexico and second-place United States.

Finally, Brittany represented Canada as one half of the nation’s mixed team, competing alongside Patrick Pregent (Orleans, Ont.). The duo finished fourth in the mixed event, losing a tight match against Mexico by a 151-150 margin.

Next up, Brittany will compete at the 2015 Canada Cup, slated for May 16 to 18 in Maple Ridge, B.C., before heading to Yankton, S.D., for the 2015 Youth Archery World Championships June 6 to 15.

Elaine Johnson finished her weekend 27th among senior women compound shooters,

scoring 603 points.

Jaffray’s Kevin Evans finished his weekend ninth amongst 21 competitors in the para men’s open event, scoring 636 points.

Earlier in April, the Cranbrook Archery Club sent two athletes, Keelan Boyle and Luc Volard, to Oliver for the 2015 B.C. Indoor Provincial Archery Championships.

Both Boyle and Volard claimed gold in their respective divisions.

Competing in the junior recurve event, Boyle shot a two-day total of 1,004 points to claim first place by a 370-point margin.

In the senior compound category, Volard narrowly edged Brendan Von Richter for the gold medal, scoring 1,189 points to his opponent’s 1,188.

Volard’s score not only earned him a gold medal, it also broke a provincial record previously held by another Cranbrook archer.

In 2013, Graeme Black established a record mark of 1,181 of a possible 1,200 points in junior compound competition.

Volard, a junior-aged archer, competed in the senior division at the indoor championships as there were only two registered junior-aged competitors.

Jets facing elimination

Up by three games, Ducks can advance Wednesday Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

WINNIPEG - An old hockey slogan claims the fourth win is the hardest one to get in a playoff series, but it’s the first win that’s giving the Winnipeg Jets trouble.

Leading in the third period the first three games against the Anaheim Ducks, the Jets found a way to lose all of them to fall into a 3-0 hole in the first-round series.

The Jets face elimination in Game 4 Wednesday knowing they’ve close been in each game, and yet have still dug themselves a hole.

“We’re not stupid,” defenceman Mark Stuart said Tuesday. “We know we’ve got a tough hill to climb here. But we’re a still a confident group.

It’s not like we’re sitting here like, ‘Oh, we can’t beat this team.’ We know we can beat this team.”

The Jets have led in the first three games for more than 65 minutes to Anaheim’s 11 and were arguably the better team in two of the three of them so far, including the overtime defeat Monday night at MTS Centre.

That’s little consolation for a team on the brink.

But the first step for

Winnipeg, players and coach Paul Maurice said, is to block out the daunting situation and focus on particular aspects of hockey that need to be better for Game 4.

Meanwhile, the Ducks remember that the Los Angeles Kings came back from this deficit last year against the San Jose Sharks and are determined not to let that history repeat itself.

“You’ve got a team on their heels and we have our foot right on the throat where we want it, so we’ve just got to finish them off,” goaltender Frederik Andersen said. “We don’t want to give them any hope.”

Own a piece of Kootenay Ice history

Game-worn sweaters up for grabs from 2011-12 through 2014-15 seasons Taylor Rocc a

Want to own a piece of Kootenay Ice history?

Now you can.

The Kootenay Ice has added a fresh stock of sweaters to its game-worn jersey inventory, including autographed silks from captain Sam Reinhart.

All proceeds from game-worn jersey sales go towards the Kootenay Ice Education Fund, which helps provide academic opportunities for alumni upon graduation from the Western Hockey League.

According to the WHL, approximately 400 scholarships are awarded league-wide each year to current and graduated players.

For each season of play in the WHL, a player is eligible for a full-year scholarship, which includes tuition, textbooks and other costs associated with post-secondary education.

According to the WHL, its member clubs have

provided players with nearly 5,000 scholarships in excess of $17 million since 1993.

In addition to five separate Sam Reinhart autographed sweaters, a variety of home (white), road (black) and alternate (blue) jerseys are available, spanning through 2011-12 to 2014-15.

Reinhart isn’t the only NHL-bound prospect with a sweater up for grabs.

There are two sweaters available adorned with the name of St. Louis Blues prospect Jaedon Descheneau.

Additionally, there is one (road black) sweater available featuring the No. 24 of Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Rinat Valiev.

Finally, there are three sweaters available featuring forward Luke Philp, ranked 172nd amongst North American skaters ahead of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keeping track of you could be close to impossible. The unexpected, though becoming more common with you, still shocks others. Take charge of a situation, and worry less about what is about to happen. Make what you want possible. Tonight: Gather with friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll gain an insight that you would prefer not to have. Still, you’ll need to work with it.

Don’t push so hard, and trust that others will pitch in. Your vision of a situation could change with some feedback. Anger might flare up from out of nowhere. Tonight: Head home first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could have a problem that you would prefer not to deal with. Don’t ignore it, and you will feel better in the long run.

Have an important talk. You are likely to feel energized and empowered as a result. Be willing to let good news in. Tonight: All

smiles. Spontaneity rules!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to what is being said around you. Try not to personalize what you hear, and stay open. The more you detach, the more you’ll understand what to do. You also will feel much better as a result. Deal with someone’s anger sooner rather than later. Tonight: Go for some zzz’s.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others will help you manifest what you want. An associate could be quite irritable. Be smart, and don’t take this person’s words personally; he or she has a tendency to suppress his or her anger. Encourage a discussion. A friend will be a fun distraction. Tonight: Where the gang is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pressure builds unless you remove some of the stress factors.

Relate to a partner or key loved one directly. One-on-one relating will flourish. You will land well no matter what you do. Be ready to hear some surprising news. Tonight: Make time for a special friend.

Tundra

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to rethink a decision more carefully. You could be looking at a new opportunity that pops up from out of the blue. Explore what it holds for you with the help of a friend.

Others will be verbal and might be pushy. Tonight: Make it cozy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Deal with a loved one directly.

Stay on top of a change, and try not to be swept away by what is happening. You could be very exhausted from everything that is happening. A partner could push hard for what he or she wants. Tonight: Let a friend make the call.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to others, and make sure they understand where you are coming from. You have a project that you can’t keep on the back burner any longer. Toss yourself into it. Be aware of your time, your limitations and what must be accomplished. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be on the other side of an issue and choose not to ex-

press your thoughts. You might be more interested in what others have to say. Your creativity emerges, and you’ll find solutions. A partner will give you feedback once you open up.

Tonight: Get some exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your humor might be out of sync with others, with the exception of one close associate.

Say little, especially when it comes to a family member’s tirade. You’ll be surprised by what this person has to say. Tonight: Be caring and responsive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension remains high, and, as a result, you might say something that could reflect your need for a resolution. Depending on how you handle stress, you could be seemingly out of control. A dear friend will support you in seeking an adjustment. Tonight: Soak stress away in a hot tub.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 59-year-old woman. Two years ago, I met this guy, “Jake,” and had feelings for him from a distance. We finally got together one night at a club. We exchanged phone numbers and then talked for about two months.

Jake invited me to his place, and we made love. For the next several months, that was the pattern -- I’d go to his place to make love. We had no dates outside of his apartment, so I backed off.

Jake now texts me often, but I am determined to stay away. But, Annie, I love him. I think about him every day.

How do I get over this man? -- Lost in Love Dear Lost: This isn’t love. It’s a booty call that you’ve romanticized into something more. Jake is using you, and he knows your weak spots. Delete his number from your cellphone and block his calls. You can’t get over him if his texts encourage you to think about him all the time. Then make it a point to get out more with friends. Join a social organization through your church or community center. Look into organizations that appeal to your creative interests. And do some volunteer work.

It will help you forget your troubles and concentrate on someone else’s.

Dear Annie: So often I read terrible stories of people abused by an alcoholic parent. I’d like to let your readers know that not all alcoholics are monsters.

My father was a proud, honest man and a hard worker. And an alcoholic. His drinking caused much heartache, and many times we didn’t think he would survive another binge. But he was the kindest, gentlest man you could ever meet. He loved his six kids every day of his life.

Make no mistake, there were countless times he was so drunk he couldn’t stand up or remember our names. And there were many mornings that we watched him cry because he was so ashamed of himself. He was in and out of AA programs for 30 years and finally achieved sobriety in his late 50s. He remained sober for 32 years. My sweet father passed away a year ago, and there’s not a single day that the entire family doesn’t miss him.

The one important thing I’d like to add is that our mother was a strong woman and smart enough to teach her kids that alcoholism is a disease and not a choice. She stood by him through good times and bad, but she never gave up on him. They celebrated 60 years of marriage and enjoyed their retirement for 20 years before she passed away.

Please let your readers know there are some wonderful people in this world who are alcoholics and not the monsters we often read about. -- A Child with a Different Story Dear Child: It’s true that not everyone who has a problem with alcohol or drugs is an abuser of those in the family. But that doesn’t mean the person’s behavior doesn’t have a negative impact on the family, particularly the children. We are glad your father managed to get sober and enjoy a good life with your mother and leave you with sweet memories of him.

Dear Readers: Today is Administrative Professionals Day. If you have assistants who make your job easier, please let them know how much they are appreciated.

TAYLOR, Ronald James May 9, 1954 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 14, 2015 With profound sadness we announce his passing on April 14, at the E.K.R.H. Born in Bassano, Alberta to Fred & Ruby Taylor. He spent his childhood in Penticton. He went to R.C.M.P. training in Regina and his first posting was in Cranbrook, then Wells, Ft. St. John & his dream job, in Parksville, as a motorcycle officer on Highway Patrol. He retired after 24 years back to Cranbrook to enjoy this fishing & hunting utopia & touring on his Harleys. Although his life ended far too soon, he lived life to the utmost.

A devout Christian, he attended the First Baptist Church.

He is survived by his loving wife, Arlene. His children, Kylie & Kal Mattu, (Deacon, Alyda & Zaara). Adam & Jenny Taylor, (Jesse). His Mom Ruby Taylor, brother John & Lynn Taylor & family. Arleneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Mark & Andrea Thorrougood, (Jennifer & Matthew).

Andrea Bova, (Jagger & Eden). Aleisha & Darryl Elliott. Mother-in-law Margaret Sanche & her family.

He had many friends who cared deeply for him. He was pre-deceased by his father Fred Taylor & sister-in-law Terry Dean.

A celebration of his life was held on April 17th, in their home for their immediate family.

Grateful thanks to Dr. Van Rensburg & the emergency staff at the hospital.

Ron, happy riding, shooting & fishing in Heaven.
