Dear Ann Landers: I
am extremely perplexed
and filled with anxiety
about a situation that has
been a thorn in my side
for several years. Maybe
you can help.

How can I get my loved
ones to stop smoking? We
are shocked when a disas-
ter such as the earthquake
in Japan happéns or when
a tragic airline crash
occurs. But I cannot
understand why, when
419,000 people die each
year from smoking, it is
accepted as “inevitable.”

On the home front, I
have been lecturing, nag-
ging and clipping articles
and statistics in an’effort
to educate those I love.
The outlook is grim. Sci-
entists warn that deaths
from cigarettes are likely
to more than triple over
the next quarter century.

My wife has been smok-
ing since she was 15. Even
more upsetting, four of our
seven children are hooked,
I keep telling them that
they are playing Russian
roulette with their lives.
They say, “We know it,”
and keep puffing away. Is
there anything I can do to

get these fools to stop? —
Distraught Dad in Troy,

Mich,

Dear Troy: Smoking is
an addiction. Some say
the tobacco habit is hard-
er to kick than heroin.

No one can do anything
about someone else’s
Unless your
children are willing to go
through the agony of
withdrawal, nothing will
change. Those who have
succeeded in kicking the
nicotine habit will tell
you it is the world’s most
difficult do-it-yourself
project. I wish them luck.

The line of Alves, Sean

It really did seem like a shift in
momentum was about to occur.
The Rebels had every facet of
their game working from goal-
tending to their top line. But
‘Wednesday was another day.

Game four started out much like
the previous game with the Rebels
having good offensive chances
while keeping the Eagles off the

scoreboard. However, the Alves-
Downes-Andrews line struck first
at the end of the first period as
Downes scored his 14th goal of the
playoffs at the 18:19 mark.

His feat was equalled early in
the second as Brian L’Henaff
scored to give’ the Eagles a two-
goal cushion. And all the-while,
the Rebels were slinging shot
after shot at-Eagle goalie John
Ray with little success.

The old edict “if you try, you
will succeed” just didn’t seem to
work for the Rebels as Sicamous
added two more goals in the
third period to walk away with
the 4-0 win. Ray was glaringly

bright in net stopping 27 shots to
earn the shutout.

As good as Ray was though,
the Rebels did have ample oppor-
tunity to score, including nine
power-play opportunities. But the
Eagles also had their opportuni-
ties and they did more with theirs.
The game culminated in the ejec-
tion of coach Sauer by referee
Ken Garvarziuk and two fights by
Jeff Moffat and Mike Knezacek.

“Obviously I was frustrated and
the team was as well,” said Sauer.
“We couldn’t score any goals and
we had some good chances.

“I thought we played not a bad
game but we didn't do the job we
had to do which is score goals.”

Sauer was hoping to go back to
Castlegar tied in games but he did
manage to get the split which did
seem to be a positive. Up until
game three, the Rebels had not
beaten the Eagles and at least
they proved to themselves that it
was possible if they stuck to their
game plan and capitalized on
their chances.

Thev took those positives back

to Castlegar with them for game
five Friday night at the Complex
and things looked very encourag-
ing early on.

The Rebels had the majority of
the quality chances in the first
and despite missing on many
opportunities they refused to give
up. Burt sparked the Rebel attack
late in the first period when he
beat an Eagle defenceman wide
and then flipped a pass out to
MacGillvray who was bearing
down on Ray like a VIA train that
jumped its tracks. MacGillvray
slid the puck perfectly into the
low corner past a sprawled Ray to

* give the Rebs the one-goal advan-
tage in the first frame.

But MacGillvray and Burt,
playing on a line centred by
Casey Grant, weren‘t about to
easily slip back in the checking
role they had assumed most of
the series. They came out with a
vengeance in the second and
scored on almost an identical play
from the first period. Again, it
was MacGillvray getting the goal
from Burt with Grady Moore
picking up the other assist. The
Rebels were on fire and the puck

looked like a beach ball to J.C.
Moore in the Castlegar net

Then Mike Hunter took a high
sticking major plus a game mis-
conduct. The ensuing five-minute
power-play gave the Eagles some
life and their life-line of Alves-
Downes-Andrews once again
jump started the attack. Downes
got credit for the goal with assists
by Alves and Lehn.

The back-breaking goal came
at 2:50 of the third as a tricky

dump-in shot by Jason Gudjon-
