Tim Bozon, a member of the Kootenay Ice, is greeted by members of the Calgary Hitmen prior to the Ice/Hitmen playoff game in Cranbrook, B.C., Saturday, March 30, at a play-off game between the Ice and Hitmen. Bozon was greeted by a sold-out crowd at Cranbrook’s Western Financial Place in an emotional moment — one month ago the Montreal Canadiens’ draft pick was in critical condition after contacting meningitis while on a road trip in Saskatchewan. He was put into a medically induced coma to relieve swelling on the brain, but is now on the mend. Saturday marked his return to Cranbrook, to see his team upset the Hitmen and advance to the second round of the WHL playoffs. See full story, Page 7.

Submitted The arrival of warmer

weather means many of us are spending more time outdoors. The change in weather also brings out ticks - small bugs that feed on the blood of hu-mans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease.

“Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites,” said Jennifer Jeyes, Communicable Disease Specialist with Interior Health.

The most common tick spe-cies in the Interior Health re-gion is the Wood Tick (Derma-centor andersoni), which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria.

The Wood Tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, al-though it is very rare.

Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary mus-cle weakness and paralysis if attached for several days, but the symptoms fade once the

tick is removed. Signs of many tick-borne in-

fections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash.

The tick species that carries Lyme disease (Ixodes pacifi-cus) is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low numbers in the Interior region.

Less than one per cent of Ix-odes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease.

In addition to fever, head-ache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s-eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite.

“Most tick bites do not re-sult in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as in-fection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” added Jeyes.

“It is important to watch for signs of tick-transmitted ill-nesses. Anyone who experi-ences a bull’s-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.”

Other precautions include:• Walking on cleared trails

when in tall grass or wooded areas.

• Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and light-coloured clothing.

• Tucking pant legs into socks or boots.

• Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncov-ered skin.

• Carefully checking cloth-ing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live.

• Having a shower after re-turning from areas where ticks may live.

To reduce ticks from enter-ing your home and yard, try these steps:

• Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds.

• Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border be-tween your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas.

• Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard.

• Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house.

• Widen and maintain trails on your property.

If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it.

Needle-nose tweezers can be used to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out.

Be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to in-ject its stomach contents into your skin.

After removal, clean the area with soap and water.

If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medi-cal clinic.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

In April, trappers from all over B.C. will make their way to Cran-brook for the annual British Columbia Trap-pers Association (BCTA) convention. This year it will be host-ed by the East Kootenay Trappers Association, said the association’s president, Mannie Rob-erts.

The BCTA holds its convention once a year and it is typically held in the north part of the province.

“I think it’s because those guys don’t think we can do it right down here,” Roberts joked. “But we’ll show them.”

This will be the 69th convention and it will be held from April 24 to 27 at the Cranbrook Curling Club.

“Trapping is a much misunderstood indus-try, a lot of people think we just run around and kill animals just for the heck of it,” he said. “That’s just not true. There is a real need for intelligent trapping and we believe we trap intel-ligently.”

The association ad-vocates for trappers with the industry and government.

There will also be a

bit of a trade show at the convention and the public is welcome to come. There will be an admission fee of a few dollars, that will also enter you into a draw for prizes.

They are also trying to get the local schools to bring in students.

“We’re constantly trying to educate youth,” he said. “The theme for this convention this year is youth.”

Darby Dean, a 16 year old archer from Kimberley who placed ninth in the World Champion Archery shoot in China, will be doing a demonstration of her archery skills on the Friday night.

Dean’s family are all trappers and Roberts said she will be taking the trappers course as well.

He said the conven-tion will bring 250-300 trappers and their fami-lies to the region.

“We’ll have lots of demonstrations of fur skinning,” he said. “And a friend of mine is com-ing in from Alberta to do some beaver skin-ning demonstrations.”

The man can skin a beaver, something known to be an arduous process, in under two minutes. It’s the first

time he’s come to B.C. for a convention.

Roberts said there are probably about 130 members in the local trapper association.

“We’ve got one of the biggest locals in the province,” he said.

He said for the con-vention they will be get-ting help as well from the newly formed West Kootenay Trappers As-sociation.

He said B.C. leads the industry in certified traps and humane trap-ping standards. He said the standards have be-come better as well as the industry has changed and adapted.

“We’re very highly policed, by ourselves and by conservation of-ficers,” he said. “Our ability to handle fur is better, because the pub-lic has demanded it: the European market, the Chinese Market… They’ve just become more sophisticated and want more and more. There is an insatiable appetite for wild fur over in those areas.”

The BCTA was start-ed in 1946 and is the oldest trapping associa-tion in Canada. Roberts also noted that trapping is the oldest industry in Canada, started 400 years ago.

The province signed a new act into law that will have implications for B.C.’s parks. On Mon-day, March 24, Bill 4, or the Park Amendment Act became law. The amendment act was first introduced last month and removes a require-ment that park use per-

mits could only be is-sued with proof that the activity was “necessary for the preservation or maintenance of the rec-reational values of the park involved.” Environ-mental groups worry that Bill 4 allows the Minister to grant the park use permits as long as the research relates to “an environmental as-

sessment or feasibility study” or is “necessary to inform decision mak-ing around changing the boundaries.”

“The government has sent a clear signal that it is open to having pipe-lines cut through our globally renowned pro-tected areas” said Al Martin, BC Wildlife Fed-eration. “The Act will

now allow industrial ex-ploration in some of BC’s most beloved parks, placing them at risk.”

MLA Bill Bennett said he felt the reaction by environmentalists was a little over the top.

“We all care about parks and it just isn’t credible in my opinion to suggest that all of a sudden government is going to open up parks to industrial activity,” Bennett told the Towns-man. “What government has done is put into place the authority to study a particular park if

there is a major, strategic transmission line or pipeline that must go through a park.”

He said that would be a rare circumstance and would only happen if it was impractical to go around a big park with a transmission line or a pipeline.

“No one is talking about building roads all over parks, or opening them up generally to in-dustrial activity,” he said. “I do appreciate that British Columbians love parks, but we do also have to have jobs and an

economy.”The environmental

groups alluded to a gov-ernment document ob-tained in late 2013 via a Freedom of Information request revealed that the B.C. government is al-ready considering boundary changes to over 30 parks, including for LNG pipelines and the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline.

“Over 2000 people have emailed Minister Polak with their con-cerns from the Koote-nays,” said John Bergen-ske, executive director of

Wildsight.Peter Wood, from the

Canadian Parks and Wil-derness Society, said the Minister has also re-ceived thousands of let-ters opposing this bill since it was introduced last month, but the pub-lic’s concerns have still been ignored.

“There has been ab-solutely zero public con-sultation, and the pace at which this was pushed through suggests this was never a consider-ation,” Wood said.

Groups concerned over Park Act amendment

submit tedOn Friday, March 28, 2014 at

approximately 2 p.m., members of the Cranbrook/Kimberley RCMP Drug Section and General Investigation Section arrested a 32-year-old Kootenay man road-side in Cranbrook for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

A search of his vehicle resulted

in the seizure of three quarters of a kilogram of cocaine.

The man was lodged in Cran-brook cells and later released on a recognizance before a Judicial Justice of the Peace on $5,000 bail with strict conditions, including not to be in Cranbrook except to attend court.

Cocaine is usually sold in half- to one-gram quantities, so 750

grams represents a significant amount, which is now off the streets.

The RCMP is committed to holding those individuals in the local drug trade criminally re-sponsible and remind them that under the new federal legislation, there is now new mandatory min-imum sentences for certain drug offences.

“It would be good for religion if many books that seem useful were destroyed.”

This was the rallying cry of Girolamo Savona-rola, a Florentine monk whose preaching against secular works in 1497 created a massive cult following.

Savonarola told his followers it was their duty to cleanse Flor-ence of all earthly plea-sures. This was accom-plished by raiding peo-ple’s homes and remov-ing any object which Savonarola felt a cor-rupting influence. After they had gathered up all the earthly indulgences they could find — play-ing cards, mirrors, jew-elry, art, perfume, deco-rations, fancy clothes, wigs, and most espe-cially books — they dumped them all into the middle of the town square, where Savona-rola was waiting with a match.

History has called this action “the bonfire of the vanities.” Howev-

er exciting or charis-matic people initially found Savonarola, they soon grew tired of him. Without a trace of irony, Savonarola was burned to death.

With every trace of irony, the man who wanted to burn his city’s books has had a strong literary life since his un-timely death. Ignoring the fact that Savonarola himself wrote 30 of them, his first major ap-pearance is as a cau-tionary tale in Machia-velli’s ‘The Prince.’ Three centuries later, George Eliot writes about Savonarola in her

1862 novel ‘Romola,’ as does Thomas Mann in his ‘Fiorenza.’ Closer to our time, he appears in Irving Stone’s ‘The Agony and the Ecstasy,’ Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s ‘The Palace,’ and Sal-man Rushdie’s ‘The En-chantress of Florence.’

Today he is probably best remembered in one of the best books (and worst movies) to come out of the 1980s — one which has abso-lutely nothing to do with Savonarola him-self: Tom Wolfe’s ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities.’ The compelling story of the unravelling of 80s decadence, ‘The Bon-

fire of the Vanities’ has an interesting backsto-ry.

Regarded as one of America’s finest jour-nalists, at the time Tom Wolfe had yet to have any fiction published. He had always hoped to write a novel which would pull back the curtains of proper soci-ety, much as his idols William Thackeray and Charles Dickens had. Yet when it came to fic-tion writing, Wolfe al-ways found himself suf-fering writers’s block.

To combat this, he did as his role models had done, which was to serialize their works.

Wolfe found it much easier to write brief in-stalments than a whole novel, and ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’ ap-peared in Rolling Stone

Magazine from July of 1984 to August 1985.

It finally appeared as one complete book in 1987, and was unusual-ly both a critical and fi-nancial success. Close to 60 at the time of its publication, Wolfe would continue to write novels, including ‘A Man in Full,’ ‘I am Char-lotte Simmons,’ and last year’s ‘Back to Blood.’

And what of poor Sa-vonarola? In an epi-logue to his book, Wolfe explained just who Sa-vonarola was and where his book’s title came from. But at the last minute, he removed the epilogue just before the

book’s initial printing. According to his biogra-pher, Wolfe “hesitated to identify himself with the man who was burned at the stake for his convictions.”

He needn’t have worried. Unlike Savona-rola, Wolfe’s readers never turned on him. They were however ready burn down Holly-wood after they were through with his novel, which we will look at in the next column.

The Bonfire of the Vanities: Part I

Jeff NagelBlack Press

B.C.’s small business minister defended the province’s shift to a new recycling system Wednesday after a con-tinuing attack in the Legislature by the Offi-cial Opposition.

Naomi Yamamoto said the Multi Material BC program transfers recycling costs from tax-payers to the producers who generate packaging

and printed paper and challenged New Demo-crats to state whether or not they oppose that principle.

“How many of us have come home after purchasing a relatively small item, struggled to unpackage the item and then found yourself with a mountain of waste material that we have no control over?” Yamamo-to responded in Ques-tion Period. “This pro-

gram actually provides an incentive to produc-ers to reduce their pack-aging.”

The new system led by Multi Material BC is being resisted as too costly by various busi-ness sectors, including the newspaper industry and Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper.

Yamamoto said the province asked MMBC to work with the small business community

and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, adding that led to a series of ex-emptions that absolve 99 per cent of small businesses of require-ments to report and pay recycling fees under the new program.

NDP small business critic Lana Popham cited severe business impacts and demanded to know if the province will halt the scheduled May 19 rollout pending better consultation with

businesses, municipali-ties and environmental organizations.

“The premier is chucking B.C.’s recy-cling system into a giant dumpster by completely botching the implemen-tation,” Popham said. “British Columbia de-serves to get our recy-cling right.”

Popham earlier in the week denounced MMBC as a “red tape monster” controlled by Ontario-based corpora-tions and multinational firms that aren’t suffi-ciently accountable to B.C. stakeholders.

Newspaper industry representatives have warned newspaper clo-sures and large-scale job losses are likely if the MMBC rollout contin-ues unchanged.

Letters to the editorWhat balance?

The Harper Government is proudly heralding a balanced budget, even a sur-plus, for 2015.

Is a balanced budget necessarily a good thing, a worthy achievement? Most budgets can be balanced if expenditures are deleted or sufficiently reduced.

The real issue is the price we will pay. Who and what will be sacrificed on this fiscal altar? How many valuable programs will disappear, how many vital services will be chopped, how many jobs will be lost?

One early casualty of this “accomplish-ment” appears to be the Building Canada Fund, a multi-billion dollar project aimed at restoring Canada’s crumbling high-ways, bridges et al. It is to be slashed by 90 per cent effective April 1.

Who will pay? We all will, some more than others.

dCCsThank you for your follow-up letter,

MLA Bennett, and for your kind com-ments about our City staff, which I agree with wholeheartedly.

I believe that CAO Staudt’s letter was very clear on what led to Cranbrook’s pro-posed DCCs not proceeding at this time. If you require clarification, I encourage you to call either CAO Staudt or me here at City Hall. We can be reached at 250-426-4211.

I can assure you that there was no in-camera discussion or plots related to blaming the Province – that is not a world that I live in, nor would I ever support that kind of approach.

Councillors do not report to the Mayor, as I’m sure you know. They are elected in-dependently and speak their minds freely at Council meetings – that is what democ-racy is all about. I will leave it to them to decide if they believe that there is merit in commenting further on this matter.

Haul truck I would like to thank Dr. Marilyn Pe-

tersen from the College of the Rockies and Mr. Glen Campbell of Teck Coal for their thoughtful replies to my concerns regarding the COTR Haul Truck program. The program itself is a fantastic one, with excellent teachers and a comprehensive curriculum.

My primary concern relates to the po-litical statements made in support of the program and the resulting public misper-ceptions they created.

While I agree with Dr. Petersen and Mr. Campbell about the considerable num-ber of variables related to the hiring pro-cess, I disagree with their statements re-garding the success rate for recent course graduates.

Moving forward, Dr. Petersen makes a positive suggestion that the COTR com-municate to students that they should have “clear and appropriate expectations with respect to course outcomes …” (be-fore they drop $7,500 for a one-month course).

Another suggestion is to develop a comprehensive graduate feedback sys-

tem that would track student job place-ments. The funding partners could then determine if program objectives are being met, be accountable for public monies spent and provide prospective students with the information they need to make informed decisions about investing in their future.

Walking bridgesCoun. Bev Middlebrook — “I can’t be-

lieve no one has said we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” — seems not to be particularly skilled at translating actions into words.

Council’s actions clearly demonstrate a “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” attitude and way of doing business. Mixing metaphors, it seems that Coun. Middlebrook can’t hear the obvious. Per-haps the constant drone about hoped for grants leads to hearing impairment.

An already received $50,000 grant shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, but some thought as to the big picture and what should be on the city priority list and what can fit into the city budget should precede any decision to add two bridges. Even at a saving of $16,666.66 for each of these previously unplanned bridges, are they more important than all the other projects requiring city spending?

Spending money you don’t have be-cause something is available at a bargain price doesn’t make sense in your person-al life. Is the life of the city that much dif-ferent?

Where’s the outrage?Where is all the outrage now that the

Provincial Government has called for open season on the wild pigs in our prov-ince? Now, I went along with everyone else when Bambi’s mom was taken by a hunter but I was always a big fan of Porky and Petunia and, of course, the triplets. It appears that, reports the Province news-paper, the pig community is eating its way through local vegetation, uprooting crops and competing with other wildlife for food. They go on to say that once estab-lished these feral beasts are hard to root out.

Is it my imagination or does this all sound too familiar?

Will Ms. Winter, President of the Ani-mal Alliance, with all of its national and international influence, decide to run the gauntlet of the Provincial Government over this? Someone needs to take on this emotional event. I mean, why is it that the deer get such special consideration? What’s the matter with the porkers? I would hate to think that cute and furry takes precedence over homely and bris-tly, although baby pigs are pretty darn cute.

After stating that the Animal Alliance, along with Toronto’s Mayor, managed to save the elephants and coyotes from whatever faced them, I would expect Ms. White and her cadre to confront the B.C. Government. Someone has to speak up for this indiscriminate act that allows pigs to be hunted. Aren’t all animals equal, after all? Or is that just certain species?

Ms. White has indicated that there are thousands of dollars to be spent in put-

ting our area to shame but she does not consider this a threat. She may then be surprised to learn that the many people who have spoken to me regarding her letters do consider her message a threat. Perhaps it is time to check with her legal counsel in order to assure that her mag-nanimous statements do not come back to bite her ‘you know where’.

To the Deer Protection Society, the taxpayers are still waiting to be reim-bursed for the damage incurred by your representatives and the legal expenses caused by their alleged attack on the deer traps. Do the right thing.

Joseph CreekIn response to last week’s paper of all

the wonderful things the city of Cran-brook has done and how much money the City had to spend, may I add that none of it went to the Joseph Creek area? We are the forgotten corner of Cranbrook.

We live in a wonderful, well-kept se-nior home and are looking out on the worst dump in the city. Our daily walk is beside a totally neglected creek and our view is a mess, to say the least. For the last three years we have sent pictures, letters and over a hundred signatures to the city, talked with the mayor, to no avail.

Mr. Mayor, do you realize that most of us will never get to see the lovely fountain or the $49,115 rocks by Elizabeth Lake? We have paid taxes all of our lives, we’re proud of every improvement that was made, only to be rewarded to spent the rest of our lives ignored and forgotten.

In my view it would not take $49,000 to clean up our surrounding. With a little help it would give us the place we deserve and could be proud of.

Windows XPI’d like to mention something I’ve read

a lot about lately, but have seen very little of in the media.

On April 8 this year, Microsoft will cease all support for Windows XP. I’ve noticed there is still a lot of people using XP, including professional offices where private patient data will be vulnerable to attack. Keeping XP on-line will put all computers in jeopardy.

As of a survey a couple months ago by netmarketshare.com out of all devices connected to the internet, XP is 31 per cent, Windows 7 – 46 per cent, 8 and 8.1 is 10 per cent, chrome and Linux – 5 per cent, Mac OS 10.8 and 10.9 – 4 per cent, chrome and Linux 3.5 per cent.

Linux and Ubuntu are free safe alter-native operating systems to Windows XP and can be downloaded from the inter-net. Other alternatives are to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7 or still use XP but disconnect it from the internet. Once Mi-crosoft ends all support, computers will be at high risk even with a current anti-vi-rus software installed and will be six times more likely to be hacked according to Mr. O. Vicek, the CEO of Avast anti-virus soft-ware. He also has concerns with 90 per cent of ATMs still using XP.

MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2014

Remember when your mother asked, “If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?”

That advice from good old Mom is back in the news as a Calgary radio sta-tion finds itself in me-ga-hot water over a contest stunt and what they call a social media experiment.

Calgary’s Amp Radio announced that they had $5,000 to burn. They meant it literally. They asked lis-teners to respond with texts as to whether they should bank the money or burn it. If #bank was texted to a certain number more than #burn, a listen-er would have the opportunity to win the five grand. If #burn won, the station would burn the money. As in incinerate it.

Well, you guessed it, #burn won. And the station burned the money and posted the video to YouTube to prove it.

Outraged reaction was swift and point-ed. Many people tweeted that they would never listen to the station again, pointing out that the homeless or victims of last year’s flood could certainly use the money. However, others tweeted that if someone had won the money, they likely wouldn’t have donated it either.

The radio station’s representatives said the station was simply keeping its word when it burned the money.

But aside from the reaction, the fact is that the whole mess started with more

people texting #burn than #bank. Well, it actually started with the stupid idea in the first place, but my point is, when did we get so mean-spirited?

Are we at the point where we’d rather see money burn than some-

one else win it? Or is it simply that it is so easy, and anonymous, to endorse a stupid idea online that no thought goes into it? I’ll text #burn. That would be awesome.

It takes no thought, no energy, to sim-ply text #burn to a number. But apparent-ly enough people had the same lack of thought and $5,000 that could have served somebody, somewhere, went up in smoke. And a radio station got a whole lot of press, most of it negative.

So that’s one bad outcome that per-haps a little thought before texting or tweeting might have prevented.

Now here’s another social media ex-periment that has the potential to be ei-ther great or terrible, and I’m leaning to-

wards terrible. A hotel in New York, which specializes

in weddings, is offering a new service for the low price of $3,000. For that paltry sum they will give your wedding all the social media attention it deserves. The social media wedding concierge send photos to Instagram and video to Vine. They will live tweet the actual ceremony and create unique hashtags. They will live blog it. For $3,000! Cheap at twice the price!

Now in one way, this is great. The whole world, or at least those interested enough, gets to share in the joy of your big day. However, they will also get to share in the joy of Uncle Bill getting drunk and telling inappropriate jokes; a spat be-tween bridesmaids going ugly; your cute little flower girl overindulging in cake and getting sick. The possibilities are endless. Why keep a feud in the family when you can share it with the world? And you can — for only $3,000.

And at least that $3,000 is going into the pocket of a needy “social media wed-ding concierge”. It’s not like you’d be burning it.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Win for Tim.In a game fill with

emotion on Saturday night, the Kootenay Ice certainly did that, beat-ing the Calgary Hitmen 5-3 to close out the first round of the playoffs with a 4-2 series win.

Tim Bozon, who made a triumphant re-turn to his WHL team, received a standing ova-tion from a crowd of 3,916 in a pre-game cer-emonial puck drop. The Ice forward was official-ly discharged from hos-pital in Saskatoon on Friday a month after being diagnosed with meningitis.

After the final buzzer sounded and the hand-shake procession ended, the Kootenay players gathered at centre ice to salute the crowd and Bozon, who was up in one of the luxury boxes.

“It was emotional, for sure,” said Jaedon De-scheneau. “When we saw him this morning for the meeting, it was full of hugs and joy and I was so happy to see him, knowing he is better and he’s okay and he’s just going to make progress from here.

“Seeing him come out onto the ice to drop the puck, I definitely had to hold it back…he inspired us to go for-ward in this series and win and he was a big part of that.”

See the Daily Towns-man later this week for a feature story on Bozon and his road to recovery.

The Ice now advance to the second round of

the post-season for the first time since they won the league champion-ship in 2011, and will play the Medicine Hat Tigers, which overcame the Swift Current Bron-cos in six games with a 2-1 win in Game Six.

“It feels absolutely amazing,” said Jagger Dirk, an overage de-fenceman who was on the championship-win-ning team. “We haven’t won a playoff series in a long time and for the guys who are first- and second-year in—espe-cially against Calgary with that history and ri-valry we have—it’s just a huge boost to our confi-dence and we feel great going into the next se-ries.”

As was the case all series, the Hitmen just couldn’t find a way to contain the top line from the Ice, as Desche-neau, Zach Franko and Sam Reinhart terrorized the Calgary defensive corps.

Descheneau and Re-inhart share the lead for the WHL post-season scoring race with 17 points each, while Fran-ko sits in fifth overall at nine points.

“They were key, they were huge,” said Ice head coach Ryan Mc-Gill. “The strength they

possess down low in the offensive zone, and even in the defensive zone and coming through the neutral zone with the puck and how they move the puck with each other—they were tremendous.

“They’re not big guys, but they play with big hearts and they move their feet, and they were great for us and hopefully that will continue.”

Descheneau posted a hat trick, while Franko notched a goal and Re-inhart got helpers on three of them. Austin Vetterl also tallied for his first career playoff goal.

Wyatt Hoflin was given the start, turning away 36 shots for his second straight playoff win.

Brady Brassart, Adam Tambellini and Radel Fazleev respond-ed for the Hitmen, all coming in a desperate third-period pushback that ultimately failed. Calgary goaltender Chris Driedger gave up four goals in 38 shots.

After Bozon dropped the puck with Reinhart and Hitmen captain Jaynen Rissling at centre ice, the Calgary bench emptied as all the play-ers made the rounds to shake hands with their WHL comrade.

In a series chock full of wild back-and-forth scoring, the first period was the only period over the six games that didn’t include a goal. The Hit-men had the edge in shots, while getting two cracks at the powerplay, which they were unable

to capitalize on. The Ice took the lead

less than two minutes into the second period, as Descheneau picked up a rebound and bur-ied it. Eight minutes later, Franko doubled Kootenay up, getting a tip on a point shot from Dirk.

Kootenay struck early again in the third period, with Vetterl redi-recting a blistering slap shot from Rinat Valiev at the blue line.

Only a couple min-utes later, Brassart beat Hoflin off the rush on

the wing to put Calgary’s first goal up on the scoreboard.

But Descheneau soon put it back to a three-goal cushion on Kootenay’s red-hot powerplay, scooping up the puck off a tipped shot from the blue line and stuffing it home.

Carrying a 4-1 lead going into the final five minutes seemed like a sure thing for the Ice.

Considering how the series had gone, maybe not such a sure thing after all.

With just over four

minutes left on the clock, Driedger headed to the bench for the extra attacker and Tam-bellini was rewarded with a goal. Seventy-two seconds later, Fazleev put a weak shot on net that snuck in on the cor-ner to make it a one-goal differential with 2:26 re-maining in the game.

With Calgary within striking distance of tying up the game at the elev-enth hour, McGill said his players simply took charge of their new-found situation.

“Everybody on the

bench took over, it wasn’t even me,” said McGill. “It was them knowing that we’d given up enough and we knew that we just needed to relax, go out and win a face-off and just manage the puck properly, and the guys did it.”

For the Hitmen, it was simply too little, too late.

In the final minute, Descheneau was able to get the puck into Cal-gary territory and pot his third of the night into an empty cage to put the game out of reach.

KYLE HIGHTOWERAssociated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. - After To-ronto locked up its first post-season berth since 2008 last week, coach Dwane Casey cautioned the Raptors to not get complacent down the stretch with teams still vying for playoff position.

He’s hoping that a nearly disastrous letdown against Or-lando will send a stronger mes-sage.

DeMar DeRozan had 28 points, Jonas Valanciunas

added 20 points and nine re-bounds, and the Raptors es-caped with a 98-93 victory over the Magic on Sunday night.

Toronto led by as many as 21 points before having to stave off Orlando’s late charge.

Trailing 96-93 with 8.9 sec-onds to play, the Magic had the ball and an opportunity to tie the game. But coming out of a timeout they failed to inbound the ball, turning it over on a 5-second violation. DeRozan was fouled and hit a pair of free throws to save the win.

“They saw the 20-point lead and like any NBA team, they let their guard down,” Casey said. “That’s a development we’ve got to have - to keep the inten-sity, keep your foot on their neck and keep it down.”

Kyle Lowry added 16 points.The win was the Raptors’

third in a row and seventh straight over the Magic. Toron-to swept the season series 3-0.

“We still haven’t done any-thing yet in this league. We ha-ven’t played a playoff game, we haven’t won a playoff series, we

haven’t done anything, so we still have a long way to go and we understand that,” DeRozan said. “It’s time to take the next step, finish the season off strong, and then the next step will come after that.”

Nik Vucevic led the Magic with 22 points and 10 re-bounds. Jameer Nelson and Victor Oladipo each added 16 points.

Orlando shot 55 per cent for the game, but also had 19 turn-overs that led to 19 Raptors’ points.

With secure playoff berth, Raptors continue to roll

BEIJING - Calgary’s Kevin Koe improved to 3-1 at the world men’s curling championship after rolling to a 9-1 victory over Russia’s Evgeny Arkhipov on Monday.

With the win, Canada moves into a tie for second place in the 12-team round-robin standings with Germany’s Johnny Jahr. The undefeated Thomas Ulsrud of Norway (4-0) has sole possession of first place.

Koe’s rink opened the tournament Saturday with a 6-3 win over Denmark. But dropped a 9-6 decision to Japan Sunday before beating host China 9-6.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone is likely to sense your strength. As a result, this person will push you to get a reaction. You might decide to give him or her that reaction, just to catch him or her off guard. From there, you can continue with your day. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might prefer not to have to give explanations or deal with much. On some level, you could be experiencing a knee-jerk reaction regarding what is happening around you. You also might not feel a need to rede-fine or rethink your response. Tonight: Nap, then decide. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You feel destined to achieve certain goals. You could be a little tired or feel pushed by someone else. You might want to put this person in his or her place. Keep your eye on the long term, and be more forthright with a loved one. Tonight: Perk up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) All eyes turn to you whenever others question what to do next, as your leadership qual-ities are rather evident. You could be flattered that your judgment is so valued. Under-stand what might be needed to get past an immediate hassle. Tonight: Find your friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Realize what is happening with those around you. One person seems determined to have things go his or her way. This individual could push beyond any normal level. If you see this behavior setting up, detach. Tonight: How about a concert or jam session? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a loved one directly. You could want and need to rethink your interactions with this person, as he or she seems to have copped an attitude as of late. Your sense of direction and knowledge will cause a positive change. Tonight: Get your taxes done, then look at your budget. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be far grumpier than

you realize. Look around and note others’ reactions to you. Rather than growl and grumble, root out what is really going on with you. Only then will you be able to get more control over your feelings. Tonight: Connect with a loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Dive into work or a project. With concentration and focus, you’ll accomplish much more than you previously might have thought possible. As a side benefit, you will work off some frustration. Make a call to a new friend. Tonight: Your treat! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your playfulness and ability to honor a quick change will make all the difference in your choic-es. Re-evaluate what needs to happen between you and a new flirtation. As always, every bond has its limitations. Tonight: Ever playful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll want to understand why someone is behaving a certain way before you make a judg-ment. This person seems to be all over the place. Get feedback

from a friend, but realize that you might not feel comfortable with all of his or her opinions. Tonight: Make it early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone at a dis-tance who might be searching for some feedback. Try to un-derstand what is going on. Do not be adverse to picking up the phone and making some calls. You need more information. To-night: Catch up on emails before deciding what to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be more sensitive to a loved one than you usually would deem necessary. Your ability to understand mood changes probably could be ap-plied here. Do not personalize a comment. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a favorite dessert. BORN TODAY Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore (1948), labor leader Cesar Chavez (1927), composer Jo-seph Haydn (1732) *** Jacqueline Bigar is on the In-ternet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have two children, ages 11 and 8. They enjoy spend-ing time with my mother-in-law. The problem is, my husband’s nephew lives with Granny and brings girls home with him for sex. The latest girlfriend likes to brag about it in front of everyone, includ-ing my kids. We tried letting the kids visit when the nephew was at work, but the girlfriend kept showing up. I don’t want my children learning about sex at Granny’s house. Mom says there’s nothing she can do -- her house, her business. Now she has shut us out completely. We no longer see her or talk to her. Our kids are hurt. What can we do? -- Looking for Middle Ground Dear Looking: First, please be sure that the nephew and his girlfriend are not somehow bullying or abusing Granny. It’s one thing if she simply thinks you should leave her alone and another if she is in-timidated and afraid of antagonizing the nephew. You may need to contact Adult Protective Services in your area for help. Otherwise, perhaps your husband could speak directly to his nephew, without blame or judgment, and say that the kids miss Granny, and his girlfriend’s uninhib-ited conversation makes it difficult to visit. Enlist his help to remedy the situation for the sake of family harmony. We hope he will ask his girlfriend to put a filter on her mouth when the kids are around and con-vince his grandmother to open her home. Dear Annie: My boyfriend’s mother can be a nightmare. Boundaries mean nothing to her. Her oldest son and his wife moved out of state to get away from her. My own mother taught me how to han-dle her. First, she kept reminding me that this woman created the man I love, so there must be something good about her. Then she and my grandmother began in-viting my boyfriend’s mother to women’s lunches and small outings. They devel-oped a beautiful relationship, and now our families share holidays together. This set a great example for me. I began taking cooking and painting classes with my fu-ture mother-in-law at the local library and going on errands with her when my boy-friend was busy. I helped her in the kitch-en and asked for her advice. I understood how much I had to gain by sharing small pieces of my day-to-day life and taking her to places we enjoy. As I developed my own relationship with her, it became easier to carve out special time with my boyfriend. She felt included in our life and was more likely to respect our time together. Of course, there are times when she still steps on my toes, and my boyfriend lays down the law, but there is no resentment because of the effort I have made. I have gained a second mother by being patient, tolerant and kind. It took time, but I can truly say that she is my family now. My boyfriend and I plan to marry soon, and I know his mother can’t wait. Had I been cold or resentful toward her, I would have missed out. For all the people in a serious relationship: Make the effort now. It’s worth it. Family is important, and life is short. -- Thankful for Her Dear Thankful: Thank you for under-standing the long-term gain of having this relationship and being willing to do the work to make it happen. And bless your mother for her wisdom. We hope every soon-to-be bride will clip this out and save it for future reference. Dear Annie: Grandparents complain that they don’t get thank-you notes or phone calls for gifts to grandchildren. I’ve no-ticed that grandparents rarely send thank-you notes to grandchildren when they do something special. We MUST teach by ex-ample. -- Menasha, Wis.
