COURTESY JERELYNN MACNEIL

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!

C A R O LYN G R A N TDiagnosed with Stage 3c esopha-

geal 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 al-ternative treatment. And that drug, Herceptin — costs $3200 every 21 days.

Weitzel says he was told by an on-cologist 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 op-tions. No.”

At this point, Weitzel began to search for other forms of cancer ther-apy that might help him and he found a more holistic treatment in Mexico, which included chemo but at a very low dose.

One passenger was ejected from one of the vehicles, resulting in a fatality. The drivers of each of the vehicles were transferred to hospi-tal, 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 vehi-cles, 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.

Two new vehicle incentive programs were recently introduced with the intention of reducing emissions, and to help B.C. consumers save thousands of dollars while doing so. During the Vancouver International Auto Show last

month, the province unveiled the second phase of its Clean Energy Vehicle for British Columbia (CEVforBC™) Program. As of April 1, Consumers can save up to $5,000 towards the purchase or lease of a new battery electric or plug in electric hybrid vehicle, and up to $6,000 for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. But the potential savings don’t stop there. When combined with newly introduced SCRAP-IT program, total savings could be up to $8,250 for an electric vehicle.

The SCRAP-IT program gives consumers a $3,000 rebate on a qualifying new electric vehicle when they hand in a vehicle from the year 2000 and older. All scrapped vehicles and their components are permanently and properly recycled. (Check out scrap-it.ca for qualifying vehicles.) The province is also earmarking funds to expand the charging and fuelling infrastructure for electric vehicles across the province. Recent statistics released by the provincial government show that traditional fuel-powered vehicles are responsible for 45 percent of B.C.’s household greenhouse gas emissions. A clean energy vehicle would reduce emissions by about 5.6 tonnes per year (with comparison to a 2000 model year or older vehicle). What’s more, compared to a new internal combustion vehicle, a clean energy vehicle reduces emissions by about three tonnes per year.

The provincial government is spending $10.6 million from its Innovative Clean Energy Fund over the next three years on the second phase of the CEVforBC™ program. The money is broken down as follows: • $7.5 million for point-of-sale incentives for electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. • $1.59 million for investments in charging infrastructure and hydrogen fuelling infrastructure. • $1 million for incentives for commercial fleet purchases of clean energy vehicles. • $500,000 for research, training, and public education of clean energy transportation technology. As B.C. has the highest per-capita electric vehicle sales and the largest charging infrastructure in Canada, it would only make sense for our province to continue to lead the charge in a market transition to the use of clean energy vehicle technologies.

A recent study from the University of Michigan shows plug-in electric hybrid vehicle owners are “very satisfied” with their purchase and 83 per cent planned to buy another once it’s time to replace their current vehicle. The study also showed that a third of non-owners plan for their next car purchase to be a plug-in electric hybrid. If you’re thinking about a plug-in electric hybrid or electric vehicle, I encourage you to head down to your local auto dealer to get more information and test drive one. You’ll be impressed with the ride, longevity, and how easy they can be to maintain – especially with the new incentives.

“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 oncol-ogist 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 appoint-ment 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 compa-ny 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 medi-cation.

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.”

Drug funding denied, cancer patient says

“W hen I s t a r t e d s i n g i n g

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 perform-ing all over again. Some-times 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 per-son to grow and stretch.”

And as the Small Glories, both Cara Luft and JD Edwards will un-veil their duo collabora-tion live in concert at Lotus Books Thursday, April 24 (with guests Connor Foote and Clay-ton Parsons).

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

as an independent-ly-spirited acoustic rocker and developed a North American reputa-tion as an engaging per-former and thoughtful composer; her ad-vanced guitar technique (inspired by Pentangle’s Bert Jansch and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page) also set her apart and above most of her con-temporaries. 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, in-dustry pressures from the group’s sudden na-tionwide explosion in-creased personal ten-sions, 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 master-piece The Light Fantas-tic, the follow-up Darl-ingford, or her new in-carnation with the Small Glories. Where does she find the time?

“I definitely need

Winnipeg folk heroes play Lotus show

some time off,” sighs Luft, “but more impor-tantly: 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-en-ergize 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 cur-rent roadwork routine. “It’s so important nowa-days as a touring Cana-dian 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 fi-nancially and creatively. I also do more than just write and perform and tour; I teach a lot at

The Small Glories: JD Edwards and Cara Luft.

music camps — it pro-vides me with a sense of community and belong-ing, 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 blues-based rock and roll that the Canadian Prairies are renowned for. And like fellow Winnipegger Neil Young, Edwards has no problems shift-ing gears between elec-tric and acoustic set-tings. Hence: his in-volvement with Luft.

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

“The album captures a very intimate mo-ment; the introduction and beginning of a mu-sical journey for Cara and me,” says Edwards. “We have a strong selec-tion 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 amaz-ing to work with, as were all the musicians who joined the party. Cap-turing the moments was easy; painting the pic-tures and how we want-ed to tell the story was where the challenge lay. The three of us were get-ting 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/ar-rangement. It’s new and refreshing.

The Small Glories (with guests Connor Foote

and Clayton Parsons) perform at Lotus Books (33-10th Ave.S., Cran-brook), Thursday April 23; showtime 7:30 pm.

For the townsmanMultiple Juno and

CCMA Award winners Dean Brody and Paul Brandt are thrilled to an-nounce the launch of their co-headline tour #roadtriptour.

Bringing together the best in Canadian coun-try music, this epic #roadtriptour will kick off in Victoria,B.C., on

September 24 and wrap up 21 cities later, in Hali-fax, Nova Scotia.

The tour will stop in Cranbrookon Sunday, Sept. 27, at Western Fi-nancial 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 Fri-day, 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 rec-ognized as the most awarded male Canadian country artist in history; Brody, the number one

Brody, Brandt will make Cranbrook a tour stopmost 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 deci-sion to partner on a na-tional tour an easy one. Both were born in West-ern Canada and were raised with strong family values — a common thread that is clear not only in how they con-duct themselves (in-cluding a deep invest-ment 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 Ca-nadian roots,” says Brandt. “Touring our

country together this fall allows us to engage with both sets of fans and cel-ebrate the heritage of country music that in-spired 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 unforget-table 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 liv-ing in different parts of the country and features the top 10 single Upside Down.

In March, Brandt re-leased his latest single Nothing which recently hit #30 on the Canadian Artists chart. Nothing joins two hit singles this past year - Forever Sum-mer and Get a Bed.

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 sin-glehandedly, 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 expan-sion of the bike skills park. The glow-ing 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. Fri-day 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 con-sumption 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 Wheel-ers. To get a glimpse of his paintings, Simon’s artwork can be seen online at www.artbysimon.com or on Face-book at Simon Haiduk Art.

M u r r ay B r e ws t e rCanadian Press

T he first hint Pte. Alfred Baggs had that something was wrong came when a horse-drawn French am-

munition 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, leath-er-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 Ca-nadian 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 Sa-lient, opened a massive offensive.

Mostly forgotten in popular imagina-tion and rarely taught in high school his-tory, the Second Battle of Ypres was the baptism of fire for the fledgling force of Canadians, hastily assembled at the out-break 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 Brit-ish 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 Canadi-an 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 ev-eryone was talking about how the enemy attack that had taken place under the cover of “asphyxiation gas.”

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

official history.But Morin-Pelletier said there was lit-

tle they could do to prepare for it.It was a Canadian doctor - Capt. Fran-

cis 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 col-lapse, 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 mem-oirs 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, ev-idently 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 un-discovered 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 Cana-dian Light Infantry, which fought sepa-rately, lost 6,714 dead and wounded, or about one man in three.

Both the official Canadian army histo-ry, 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 reinforce-ments coming up.”

Under fire and with two of their num-ber 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.

don’t sell heritageI 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 addi-tion 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 manage-ment. 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, per-haps on a market Saturday, so we can all have a look inside the building?

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

Anonymous

Sorry, George. I didn’t forget your ques-tions 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 real-ly concerned about doing nothing and accomplishing nothing worthwhile. I’d creep guiltily into my bed at night and realize that I had suc-ceeded 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 carpen-try 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 gar-den 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 freez-

ing the fruits of her husband’s hobby, food that she and Mike were unable to con-sume. She wishes that he’d quit. She too would like to retire, she says.

Fred retired from his job as a 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 re-tirement 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.

That is a long time to be doing nothing useful.Of course, if you’ve been clever or ex-

tremely 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 occasional-ly 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 possi-bly 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.

Filling the years: What’s the secret?

On targetCranbrook archers hit the mark in April

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Pinpoint accuracy from a contingent of local Cranbrook sharp-shooters contin-ues to put the East Koo-tenay city on the map in the world of archery.

The Cranbrook Ar-chery Club sent a hand-ful 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 Oli-ver, with Volard staking his ownership of a pro-vincial record in the process.

While Boyle and Vo-lard competed on pro-vincial soil, Brittany Johnson brought home two bronze medals from the AAE Arizona Cup in Phoenix.

Brittany Johnson (ju-nior division) was joined by fellow com-pound competitors Elaine Johnson (senior division) and Kevin Evans (men’s open para division) at the AAE Ari-zona Cup, April 7 to 12.

Brittany and Elaine, both of Cranbrook, competed in the com-pound combined wom-en’s event, with Brittany earning a bronze medal

after finishing third in the junior women divi-sion.

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, in-cluding Brittany, shot in the event.

It was a busy week-end for Brittany, who also claimed a bronze medal as a member of the Canadian women’s compound team, which also featured Fiona Mc-Clean (Windsor, Ont.) and Tricia Oshiro (Cal-gary).

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

Finally, Brittany rep-resented Canada as one half of the nation’s mixed team, competing along-side Patrick Pregent (Or-leans, Ont.). The duo finished fourth in the mixed event, losing a tight match against Mex-ico 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 Champi-onships June 6 to 15.

Elaine Johnson fin-ished her weekend 27th among senior women compound shooters,

scoring 603 points.Jaffray’s Kevin Evans

finished his weekend ninth amongst 21 com-petitors in the para men’s open event, scor-ing 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 Ar-chery Championships.

Both Boyle and Vo-lard claimed gold in their respective divisions.

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

In the senior com-pound category, Volard narrowly edged Bren-dan Von Richter for the gold medal, scoring 1,189 points to his op-ponent’s 1,188.

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

In 2013, Graeme Black established a re-cord mark of 1,181 of a possible 1,200 points in junior compound com-petition.

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

Own a piece of Kootenay Ice historyGame-worn sweaters up for grabs from 2011-12 through 2014-15 seasons

Taylor rocc aWant 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 Educa-tion Fund, which helps provide academic opportunities for alumni upon gradua-tion from the Western Hockey League.

According to the WHL, approximately 400 schol-arships 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 schol-arships in excess of $17 million since 1993.

Prince albert Raiders lock up head coach HabscheidToWNSMaN STaFF

The WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders solved their coaching conundrum by locking up Marc Habscheid with a four-year contract Tuesday afternoon.

Habscheid joined the Raiders after signing a contract for the remainder of the 2014-15 WHL campaign Nov. 1, 2014. The Swift Current native was named the 14th coach in Raiders history after Cory Clouston was fired Oct. 31, 2014.

Jets facing eliminationUp by three games, Ducks can advance WednesdaySTepheN 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 Ana-heim 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 elimina-tion in Game 4 Wednes-day 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 consola-tion for a team on the brink.

But the first step for

Winnipeg, players and coach Paul Maurice said, is to block out the daunt-ing 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,” goal-tender Frederik Anders-en said. “We don’t want to give them any hope.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keeping track of you could be close to impossible. The unex-pected, though becoming more common with you, still shocks others. Take charge of a situa-tion, 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 vi-sion of a situation could change with some feedback. Anger might flare up from out of no-where. 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 em-powered 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 person-alize what you hear, and stay open. The more you detach, the more you’ll understand what to do. You also will feel much bet-ter as a result. Deal with some-one’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 per-son’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 re-move some of the stress factors. Relate to a partner or key loved one directly. One-on-one relat-ing 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.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to rethink a de-cision 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 cre-ativity 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 ex-ception of one close associate. Say little, especially when it comes to a family member’s ti-rade. 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. BORN TODAY Actor Jack Nicholson (1937), revolutionary Vladimir Lenin (1870), philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724) ***

Dear Annie: I am a 59-year-old wom-an. 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 de-termined 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 boo-ty 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 so-cial organization through your church or community center. Look into orga-nizations 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 alcohol-ic. His drinking caused much heart-ache, 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 count-less 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 re-mained sober for 32 years. My sweet fa-ther 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 wom-an 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 mon-sters we often read about. -- A Child with a Different Story Dear Child: It’s true that not every-one who has a problem with alcohol or drugs is an abuser of those in the fam-ily. But that doesn’t mean the person’s behavior doesn’t have a negative im-pact on the family, particularly the chil-dren. 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 assis-tants who make your job easier, please let them know how much they are ap-preciated.
