Editor: Colleen Furlong' Cupid's arrows fly true LCC Students shoot their way through the Lethbridge archery scene
BY LYNN SKETCHLEY iMiMWlMfSlin
It is Cupid's season of bows and arrows and two Lethbridge Community College students are using the right equipment. But their target is...a porcupinie? Shane Olson and Cody Draper participate in a sport they say has them hooked. It is the sport of archery. '*You try it, you won't put it down," said Shane Olson, third-year welding apprentice. The porcupine is made of foam and is one of many set up for archers in a 3-D shoot. The life-like animals including deer, antelope and moose are set at varying distances and create a three dimensional look. Archers stand at a set distance to shoot their targets. Olson, 27-year-old married father of "one and one-on-the-way," began shooting three years ago and hasn't put his bow down since. He won the 2000 Southem Alberta Mens' Unlimited championship and hopes to go to 3-D nationals in Winnipeg the first weekend in August. Olson grew up in Taber and played bass guitar with a local band. The Peace Dogs. He said he likes the welding trade and adds that it will afford him some time to spend on archery. Classmate Nathan Munroe, also third year welder apprentice, said Shane is easy to get along with in class. "He is good at what he does and he is a good father."

"We've had a cold snap but we are coming out of it a bit now," said Greg Blades, steer wrestler, calf roper and saddle bronc rider. Blades, a Lethbridge Community College general studies student, was one of about 17 members of the Lethbridge Rodeo Club competing in the third annual Southern Classic Rodeo in Magrath this past weekend. The Lethbridge Rodeo Club is made up of Intercollegiate Rodeo Students from LCC and the University of Lethbridge. Blades spoke of the cost to the con testants to keep up with a sport they love. "It's a lot more expensive to go down the road than the Kodiaks." He said there isn't a supporting fac ulty member for rodeo so the planning and fundraising are things the club does on their own. However he said rodeo is something he will never give up. "As long as my body can take it." Another LCC member is Jodi Larter, a business administration student. Larter, 18, was competing in her first year in college rodeo.
