NOW THAT’S A POTHOLE: The ground literally gave way beneath the wheels of EFM Towing Thursday evening up on the 600 block of 15th Avenue South in Cranbrook. A Freightliner truck came to the rescue, and got the unit back to terra firma. There were no details available on damage to the truck, but the hole in the road is surely a good candidate for the King of Cranbrook Potholes.
MacIsaac’s musings
The master of the fiery fiddle talks about Celtic music, Rock music, fiddle culture and his upcoming Cranbrook concert BARRY COULTER
A
revolutionary fiddle player is touching down in Cranbrook on Wednesday — expect the Key City Theatre to be rocking. Ashley MacIsaac is arguably the greatest exporter of the music of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, a small region that punches way above its musical weight. But over a 20-plus year career, he has taken traditional fiddle playing and incorporated it into the most modern of styles — hip-hop, rock,
electronica — thus helping reinvent the traditional genre. MacIsaac called up the Daily Townsman last week for a conversation. The subject was the fiddle. “My mission was never to push the fiddle as a rock instrument,” he said when I asked him. “Because I always wanted to be a guitar player, like every other kid, I suppose. But I did have a mission to push my music itself, not necessarily the culture, I suppose, of Cape Breton, where I grew up.”

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia says that it will be informing customers within the next 90 days whether they have been billed the wrong amount due to database errors. The Crown corporation says that over the last six years, approximately 240,000 optional insurance customers were overcharged and it will reinburse them. ICBC says the average overpayment was $21 each year per customer and estimates that it will be paying back $36 million plus an additional $3 million in interest. On the other hand about 350,000
optional insurance customers over the last six years were billed too little. The company says that the underpayments total about $71 million and they work out to about $34 each year per customer, but ICBC will not be seeking to recoup the uncollected money. The foulup is expected to cost the auto insurance company $110 million. “We are going to ensure all of our customers who overpaid on their optional insurance over the last six years receive full refunds with interest,’’ said Mark Blucher, president and CEO of ICBC in a written statement. “

New technology adds 3rd dimension to printing
C AROLYN GR ANT
A woman was caught in an avalanche and killed on Friday, April 11, 2014 north of Golden. Golden Search and Rescue reported that the woman was skiing with a tour group on Gothics Glacier above Fairy Meadows Lodge. Golden Search and Rescue members were flown in by helicopter and the woman, an American who has not yet been identified, was flown to Golden Hospital and then to Foothills in Calgary, but did not survive. The avalanche occurred in the mid-afternoon, which according to the Canadian Avalanche Centre can be
the most dangerous time of day during the spring. “Anybody who has traveled through the mountains in the spring can tell you how much the snow can change throughout a single day,” said CAC forecaster Joe Lammers in his blog.. “Once the sun starts really shining and the snowpack shifts into a daily melt-freeze cycle, snow surfaces can evolve from an industrial strength crust in the early morning to unconsolidated schmoo by mid-day. These rapid changes translate into avalanche danger fluctuating throughout the day. “If you’re putting on sun-glasses, the sun is
probably packing a punch. If you’re shedding layers because you’re warm, the snowpack probably feels the same way. If you see snow pinwheeling down steep features, or if the snow is so moist you can make a snowball, the snow is definitely warming-up.” Avalanche dangers for the Purcells, South Columbia and South Rockies as of Sunday, April 13 are rated Considerable, meaning dangerous avalanche conditions. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route finding and conservative decision making are essential. With files from the Canadian Press

Print Solutions has been in the region since 1973, offering commercial printing and office equipment. Wik said the company has always shown a commitment to developing the use of new printing technologies and local manufacturing. “We think 3D printing is amazing technology; the way of the future,” Shellborn added. “Rocky Mountain Print Solutions has always been a future-oriented company, so it’s about time to get on the bandwagon, if you will. We also think we can print cool, useful stuff.” For more information or to schedule a demonstration with the Replicator, contact Stephen Wik at 250-4263032, or drop by the office, located at 42 - 8th Ave S, Cranbrook BC.

We would also love to print stuff for other people, but we don’t have a business model totally worked out yet.” Wik agreed. “We can work with clients to create a prototype of an object they’ve designed, or perhaps we will collaborate on projects,” Wik said. “In fact, with something this new, it’s hard to comprehend exactly what it will be used for.” Rocky Mountain

Recently the technology behind 3D printing has been thriving and now the East Kootenay will have its own taste of printing in the third dimension. That’s because Rocky Mountain Print Solutions has purchased a state-of-theart 3D printer. The printer, called a Replicator, is made in New York by MakerBot Industries. Stephen Wik, of Rocky Mountain Print Solutions said they believe it’s the first commercial placement of a 3D printer in the region. “We’re excited to work with the community to see just what can be created — solutions to problems, artistry, who knows?” Wik said. Evan Shellborn, a high school student who is at the printing business through the student works program
offered by Columbia Basin Trust, bought and shipped the printer from New York City while he was there. “We’re still not entirely sure what directions it will take us in,” Shellborn said. “We like printing cool, fun stuff, but this is a business, so we’ve got to find ways to make business opportunities out of it.” The printing is sometimes called rapid prototyping because of the quick nature that objects can be fabricated from computer aided design date. It works by works by bonding successive layers of plastic material to create a solid object. Shellborn said a digital model drawn on a computer controls the process and can create virtually any shape and the technology is currently used in architecture, industrial design,

Trust acquires last piece of Wigwam Flats Spring habitat for elk and mule deer protected
For the Townsman
The Nature Trust of British Columbia is delighted to announce the completion of the purchase of the last privately owned property on Wigwam Flats and wishes to extend appreciation to the Tregilges family. The Tregilges family has had a connection to this land near Elko in the East Kootenay for many years. Phoebe Tolley Tregilges was born at Cokato, B.C., in 1921. Phoebe, her sister Mildred and her brother Tom purchased the Wigwam Flats property when they were teenagers. Eventually Phoebe bought out her sister’s portion of the land (her brother Tom had died). The land was later passed to her children and eventually to her son John Tregilges. “Keeping the land in its natural state forever honours my mother’s love for this property,” said John. “It has been an especially gratifying experience to work with The Nature Trust since 2007 to make this possible.” Rob Neil, Kootenay Conservation Land Manager for The Nature Trust explains, “This two hectare (five acre) property will be added to existing conservation lands owned by The Nature Trust and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations. It will contribute to the natural mosaic of grassland, open forest and closed
canopy forest habitats on the adjacent conservation holdings and surrounding Crown land. This complex of habitat types provides class one winter habitat for elk and mule deer and is particularly important spring lambing and breeding habitat for approximately 250 blue-listed Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. “Besides the variable habitat that makes the Wigwam Flats such an important area for wildlife, the natural topography provides excellent escape terrain for bighorn sheep when threatened by natural predators such as cougar and wolves.” In addition to providing high quality and essential habitat for wild ungulates the newly acquired property provides all the attributes required to support other species such as the red-listed American Badger. A key and essential partner of this acquisition was the Columbia Basin Trust. The Nature Trust gratefully acknowledges the financial support of Columbia Basin Trust which supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. “The Nature Trust does great work in the Columbia Basin and across B.C.,” said Neil Muth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Basin

Trust. “The most gratifying thing about our partnership in this project is the resulting benefit for a range of wildlife species and for a local family whose wishes are to see this property remain in a natural state.” Other funding partners include the East Kootenay Wildlife Association, Elkford Rod and Gun Club, Fernie and District Rod and Gun Club, Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program – Columbia, Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund, Southern Guides and Outfitters, Sparwood & District Fish & Wildlife Association, Wildsight Society, and Irene and Agathe Teske. Additional support for the project was provided by the Kootenay Conservation Program. “The Tregilges property was the missing link in the Mt. Broadwood/Wigwam Flats conservation area, and the acquisition of this property has ensured the future viability of this key winter range,” said Sam Medcalf, Director of the Sparwood & District Fish & Wildlife Association. “The Association would like to thank all the individuals and companies that have provided donations to our club, which allows us to contribute to such great projects.” “The Elkford Rod and Gun Club is pleased to support The Nature Trust in this important Tregilges prop-

It’s a lot dryer out there than it looks. That’s the message from residents of the St. Mary Valley, who managed, with assistance from a contract crew from B.C. Hydro and later with help from the Southeast Fire Centre, to put out a potentially dangerous grass fire on Friday.
Resident Barry Garland, who lives about a mile and a half past the St. Mary’s River bridge says he got a call from neighbours about a grass fire in the ditch across from the bridge at about 1 p.m. Friday A contract crew working nearby for B.C. Hydro smelled smoke and were on the scene

quickly, and as they carry some fire fighting equipment, were able to help contain it. Another neighbour got a pump and hose going. Southeast Fire Centre personnel showed up soon after, and the fire was contained. But it could have been a lot worse, Garland says. “It started in the ditch and went up into a few trees,” he said. Garland says that as best as he and his neighbours can guess the fire was started by someone throwing a cigarette out a car win-
dow. “That’s what we think. It’s not hot enough for it to have been started by a piece of glass and the sun.” What Garland wants people to think about is that it is far dryer than one might guess. “Right after the snow goes you might think there’s a lot of moisture in the ground, but there isn’t. It’s dry and the winds have been blowing. That dead grass is just dynamite. People need to be aware.” Motorists are urged to extinguish cigarettes in their vehicles.

the fiddle, is immensely different from region to region. I ask MacIsaac about the Irish style of fiddle, compared with the Cape Breton and Scottish styles. “Irish music is different again,” he said. “I would say it’s more directly related to their traditions of having evolved without a lot of outside influence, except for American Irish music eventually. Irish music comes from their language as well, and their language cadence is a lot different than in Scotland. “There’s a lot closer of a connection to the way older Cape Bretoners speak and the way Irish people speak, than to the way Scottish people speak and Cape Bretoners speak.” MacIsaac holds forth on ornamentation — the slurs, stutters, grace notes and other musical tricks to make notes jump out and make the fiddle talk. “It goes back again to the Gaelic translations of the music. The main difference of playing tunes (in Irish or Cape Breton styles) are in something called ‘cuts’ (a quick, percussive grace note on the fiddle) and ‘rolls’ (three notes slurred into five). Irish music is more rolling, more fluid, in a sense. Where in the notation you would see something written out as a cut, it would be would written out as a roll in Irish music. “You’ll hear a distinctive difference even in really trad Irish players and really trad Cape Breton players, although I think the Irish and Cape Breton ones are closer in sound than your trad Scottish and your trad Cape Bretoner. “I could talk about it on a microcosm forever,” he adds, “because I’ve made my living out of it.” There is a lot more to MacIsaac’s music, or course, than just the trad playing, as much as he may represent it. He has always pushed the

This direction brought him massive attention when he burst onto the scene in the early 1990s — right on the crest of a worldwide resurgence in popularity of Celtic music. I suggest that Celtic music can be easily incorporated into rock — like a spice. “It can easily be incorporated very poorly as well,” MacIsaac responds. “For every hundred albums I’ve heard of cross-over Celtic music, I’ve skipped though about 99 them. About three seconds per track I say ‘okay, this is not my cup of tea.’ “When I made my first record, we used real rock guys. We didn’t use a bunch of Celtic guys who learned how to play rock, it was rock guys who came in and played. And when I toured, I was touring with a rock band — sort of an early Great Big Sea style. That boom-chuck thing (four-four reel time,) that’s typically how you hear Celtic music put into rock. For every good album there are a lot of bad ones.” He’s is also working on a new album — his 13th, which will be ready for release in the fall of 2014.
“I would say it’s 40 to 50 per cent ready now. We’ve almost completed the demoing, and the next stage is to find the right person to gloss it all up and help me with the arrangements, because once again I’m figuring
out how to take parts and whole sections of fiddle tunes and incorporate them into something else without them sounding out of place.’ There’s only so much I can do on the pop arrangement side — it’s
not my forte. I always take it to a certain stage and then I hopefully can find certain people who are really pro at making a hip-hop, electro-Cape Breton fiddle track actually sound like a hip-hop track.”
Accompanying MacIsaac on his trip to Cranbrook and points west are Chris Babineau, a traditional guitar player from Cape Breton, and J. Andrews, a DJ/ percussionist. “So we have a three-piece which can do very traditional stuff and also fairly hip versions of ‘Sleepy Maggie’ and ‘Devil in the Kitchen,’ and stuff like that too.” As for what kind of show we can expect in Cranbrook? “It’s always the same,” he said. “Me playing the fiddle, me yakking my face off, and some sort of arrangement based on when I get to the venue and see what it is — if it’s a theatre, a club, I figure out the best way to run the show, if it should be electric heavy or more traditional heavy.” Ashley MacIsaac plays the Key City Theatre Wednesday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m.

“And it so happened that I ended up making rock records — I’ve done all kinds of different styles of records subsequently.” The music and culture of Cape Breton, as it turned out, was the way he chose to launch his career. Cape Breton music is a famous, distinct style of the broad family of Celtic musics — growing out of its history of French, Irish and Scottish immigration. I asked MacIsaac about the theory that Cape Breton music is what Scottish music would have evolved into if not for the conquest of Scotland — particularly the Highlands — by the English in the 18th century, around the time of the Battle of Culloden. “That’s the general consensus in Cape Breton,” MacIsaac said. “It’s not the same consensus in Scotland, because obviously Scottish culture is Scottish culture, and for whatever reasons it’s gone in the direction its gone.” MacIsaac says the language of a culture and its music are closely intertwined. The loss of the Gaelic language because of the English influence is a key aspect of the development of Scottish culture. “Right from the language and the cadence with which people speak, the loss of the Gaelic language, and how those rhythms with which is was spoken meant how all kinds of music — whether it’s bagpipes, or fiddles, or singing — was performed,” MacIsaac said. Over the past 124 years or so, the music iof Scotland has become revitalized. “It’s developed again from that level into a resurgence of a more gut form of music. Is it performed exactly the way Cape Bretoners perform it? No, and again that’s directly linked to the kind of language that people speak.” Celtic music, especially when played on

personal lives. But when it comes to politics, it’s pretty hard to follow those principles, chiefly because the people who choose politics as a career are passionate about what they do, and passionately sure that their philosophy, their Party, is the only one that can effect the kind of positive change we all want. There is the odd politician who gets into it for the wrong reason — personal advancement, a fat pension, a possibility of a great private sector job after putting in a few years. But the overwhelming majority are there because they believe they can make a difference. And when you are passionate about something, it’s pretty hard not to passionately disagree with someone who has opposing views. No, in politics the plaintive words of Rodney King, “can’t we all just get along?” have no place. It can get a little ugly sometimes. It does get a lot ugly sometimes. But it shouldn’t get personal. Because at the bottom of it, the MP or MLA or Councillor across the aisle or across the table is just a person doing their best, passionately. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

A Celebration of Excellence What’s Up? The Symphony of the Kootenays closes out season with a pair of weekend concerts Ym e Wo ens dregt
“T
his concert was right for all the right reasons.” That’s the way one audience member characterized the Symphony of the Kootenays concert this past weekend. The stage was filled with musicians young and ... well, more mature. The concert lived up to its billing as a Celebration of Excellence. The concert featured our talented Symphony of the Kootenays, as well as the Mount Baker concert band and jazz band, all led by Evan Bueckert, the well–loved music director at Mount Baker. It was the final concert of the 2013–2014 season, the end of a season of renewal for the Symphony. The whole season under the direction of new music director Jeff Faragher has been a rousing success, and this final concert was no exception. The concert opened with Rossini’s William Tell Overture. Many of us are familiar with the Barry Coulter photo familiar “Lone Ranger theme”, Symphony of the Kootenays violinists rehearse Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 prior to but the overture opens with a Saturday’s concert at the Key City Theatre. beautiful pastoral section for the cello section which pictures the dawn of a new day in the Swiss Alps. The rest of the orchestra joined in as the overture built to a dynamic crescendo. Bueckert led the orchestra skillfully, shaping the overture in a satisfying opening which promised a great concert. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 followed, played beautifully by a chamber orchestra of ten string players without a conductor. One of Bach’s masterpieces, the players brought out the individual lines of this piece, with each instrument playing as a soloist. It sparkled with joy and life, the individual musical lines blending magnificently. It was one of those musical moments that those who were there will not soon forget.

Buehrle earns win as Blue Jays beat Orioles 11-3 DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press
BALTIMORE - When the Toronto Blue Jays broke out their twoweek slump at the plate, nothing could stop them from circling the bases except a gaffe by an overeager ball girl. Jose Bautista launched a three-run homer and Colby Rasmus and Brett Lawrie added solo shots as the Blue Jays set season highs for runs and hits Sunday to beat the Baltimore Orioles 11-3 Sunday. “We figured it was a matter of time and we knew it was going to happen,” manager John Gibbons said. “We know we have a good lineup.” “It was a good allaround effort,” he said. A ball girl at Camden Yards turned in an excellent effort, too. But too bad for her, it came on a ball that was still in play. It was 1-all in the fourth when Adam Lind walked on four pitches and Edwin Encarnacion hit a hard grounder down the third base line.
The ball girl near the left-field seats quickly ran to field it, making a neat pickup. She took delight in her play until she realized sheepishly that she interfered with a live ball, which forced Lind to stop at third on the ground-rule double. Dioner Navarro followed with a run-scoring groundout and Jonathan Diaz executed a perfect suicide squeeze on a pitch that came in at eye level. Encarnacion, Lind and Rasmus each got three of the Blue Jays’ 17 hits, and six different players had RBIs. Toronto had scored four runs or fewer in 10 of its first 12 games. Mark Buehrle (3-0) gave up one run on five hits, walked none and struck out two over seven innings. The lefthander has allowed only two runs in 21 innings, an 0.86 ERA. “It means I’m getting really lucky and I’m fooling a lot of people,” Buehrle said. “I don’t know what’s going on.”
Hull reaches FA Cup final for 1st time in 110-year history ROB HARRIS Associated Press
LONDON - Hull reached the FA Cup final for the first time in its 110-year history as the Premier League side twice came from behind to beat third-tier club Sheffield United 5-3 in a lively encounter on Sunday. After winning world football’s oldest cup competition three times as a Manchester United player in the 1990s, Hull manager Steve Bruce will bring his team back to Wembley Stadium on May 17 for the final against 10-time winner Arsenal. “If you had said 10 years ago that Hull will play Arsenal in the FA Cup final, people would have been scratching their heads,” Bruce said. “It just shows you what can be done.” Hull is now just one game away from emulating Wigan’s surpris-
ing run to the title last year. But the team will need to improve vastly on its first-half performance in order to win the club’s first major trophy after United - which won the last of its four FA Cups in 1925 and last played in the Premier League in the 2007 twice led at the national stadium. But Hull was transformed after halftime, with Matty Fryatt restoring parity at 2-2 before Tom Huddlestone and Stephen Quinn gave the northeast team what appeared to be a comfortable cushion. Even though Jamie Murphy pulled a late goal back for United, David Meyler quickly responded to secure Hull’s first trip to a major final. “We were very sloppy in the first half and didn’t get going,” Meyler said. “We got together at halftime and regrouped. It’s fantastic.”

Fight night thrills MMA fans TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
MMA fighters local and abroad tasted victory and felt the agonizing sting of defeat during fight night at the Memorial Arena for Battle for the Border 3: Nations Collide. Amateur and professional fighters went to war inside the octagon in the event, which was organized by Isaac Hockley and Jody McInnes of HM Productions. There were four amateur bouts, highlighted by the main bout between local fighter Donovan Hack and Ryan Rohovich out of Prince Albert in Saskatchewan—both of whom were undefeated and put their 4-0 records on the line for a welterweight title. Rohovich took the win in the third round by submission after taking Hack to the ground in the third
round and applying a rear-naked choke. “We were really happy with the fights,” said Hockley. “We were a little upset for Donovan, it was a little heart-wrenching watching him take his first loss, especially in front of his hometown where everybody is cheering for him. “That was hard for us to watch, but it’s just going to make him a stronger fighter and he’s going to go back to the drawing board.” Hack trains with the House of Pain out of the Rocky Mountain Academy of Martial Arts. Another local fighter in Dustin Luke won his first-ever bout less than 30 seconds into the first round, winning by KO after punishing Yuri Gromochikhin with a flurry of punches. Hockley said Gromochikhin has a reputation as a tough heavy-
weight fighter. “That kid wasn’t a slouch,” Hockley said. “He just won a jujitsu tournament a few months back and he’s nicknamed ‘Butterbean’ for having a hard chin…but Dustin went through that chin pretty quickly.” Wesley Bowman defeated Josh Freisen by unanimous decision to start the night, and Clayton Schira was able to connect against Herman Neufeld in the third round, winning
by TKO in the other amateur event. On the professional card, the night was highlighted with another local fighter who won his first event. Adam Wills, who also trains out of House of Pain with RMAMA, beat Cleve Bentley out of Kelowna, applying a Guillotine in the first round at 2:20. “Adam Wills—wow, what a fight that was for his pro debut,” said Hockley. “He beat a tough kid and that was
exciting to see how well Adam did.” In the co-main event, Alfonso Gonzales defeated Mike Kent via TKO late in the first round, while Cody McKenzie submitted Mark Dobie with a rear-naked choke halfway through the first round in the other comain event. Rounding out the pro card was Jordan Tracey’s submission of Dan Amyotte with a rear-naked choke late in the opening round.

Ice freeze up in 9-2 loss to Tigers Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
Never corner a wounded animal. With their backs up against the wall, the Tigers mauled the Kootenay Ice for a 9-2 win in Medicine Hat on Saturday night to keep their playoff hopes alive. Kootenay still leads the series 3-2, but has another chance to close out the second round on Monday night for Game Six on home ice at Western Financial Place. The Tabbies led 3-2 after 40 minutes, but everything unravelled in the final period, as Medicine Hat exploded for six goals. Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson chalked up the frame to mistakes that snowballed. “A lot of it was mental errors,” said Henderson. “We had a powerplay early in the third, we didn’t capitalize on that, and then we just made some poor decisions after that and the wheel just sort of fell off. “It wasn’t a good third and it wasn’t what we needed. We got to learn from it, but definitely can’t dwell on it either, so we
got to put it behind us and make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Cole Sanford led the way with four goals and two assists, while Miles Koules, Curtis Valk, Chad Butcher, Chad Labelle and Trevor Cox found the back of the net. Kootenay had goals from Levi Cable—his second shorthanded goal of the series—while Landon Peel posted the other effort. Wyatt Hoflin took the loss in goal with 44 saves in 53 shots. Marek Langhamer made 23 stops for the Tigers to pick up the win. The two teams were tied up after the opening period, with Kootenay scoring from Cable, after the Ice forward stole the puck and beat the Tigers goaltender with a slapshot on the rush. Five minutes later, Sanford tied it up, beating Hoflin through traffic at the top off the face-off circle. Peel put the Ice ahead in the second period with a shot from the blue line, but Sanford knotted it back up again, getting a tip on a shot from defenceman Dylan
Bredo. Chad Butcher then scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal with five minutes left in the frame, banging home a feed from Steve Owre from behind the Kootenay net. With a one-goal deficit, the Ice went into the final period looking for the equalizer that never materialized. Sanford scored an early powerplay goal, and Koules lit the goal lamp 13 seconds later. Valk and Sanford both added more goals on the board, while Cox posted a shorthanded effort on a breakaway. Labelle scored Medicine Hat’s second powerplay marker and the final goal with 29 seconds left in the game. “They’re a good team,” said Henderson. “I don’t think we take anyone lightly. We respect them, they’re a good team, they have some skilled forwards, some skilled D and their goalie’s playing well for them too. “It’s not a case of taking them lightly— they’re a quality team and a lot of unforced errors was the problem last night.”
Shanahan named new Maple Leafs president C anadian Press
Brendan Shanahan is going from handing out suspensions to running the Toronto Maple Leafs. Shanahan will oversee all team operations for the Maple Leafs after he was named the club’s president and alternate governor Friday. It’s the first front-office job for the 45-yearold Toronto native and Hockey Hall of Famer. Shanahan had been serving as the NHL’s director of player
safety as well as the league’s vice-president of hockey and business development. He took over the disciplinarian job from Colin Campbell in June 2011 and will be replaced by Stephane Quintal. The Leafs said in a statement that Shanahan will begin in his new role immediately, adding there will be no further comment until a Monday news conference. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president Tim Leiweke and Leafs vice-presi-
dent and general manager Dave Nonis are expected to be at that news conference along with Shanahan. Nonis’s presence indicates he’s safe, at least for now, even after Toronto’s season went off the rails last month and the Leafs failed to make the playoffs. But when the Calgary Flames hired ex-Leafs GM Brian Burke as president of hockey operations in September, Jay Feaster was present - and then fired two months later.
Page 9
It’s unclear what direction Shanahan will want to take the franchise in. In this job, below Leiweke and above Nonis on the totem pole, he’ll have a say about coach Randy Carlyle’s future and potentially his replacement. The Leafs were officially eliminated from playoff contention Tuesday, though it was a streak of eight straight regulation losses in March that dropped them from second in the Atlantic Division.
AUGUSTA, Ga. Bubba Watson’s second Masters title was nothing like the green jacket he won two years ago. The only daring shot Watson hit was one he really didn’t need. The wild swing in momentum came on the front nine, not the back nine of Augusta National. And the sweetest difference of all Sunday was seeing his 2-year-old son walk toward him on the edge of the 18th green after his threeshot victory over Jordan Spieth. Watson turned in another masterpiece and joined an elusive group as the 17th player to win the Masters more than once. He turned a two-shot deficit into a two-shot lead on the final two holes of the front nine, then kept Spieth, 20, and everyone else at safe distance the rest of the way. Watson closed with a 3-under 69 to beat a pair of Masters rookies in Spieth and Jonas Blixt of Sweden. Two years ago, when he hit that wild hook out of the trees on the 10th hole to win in a playoff, his wife and newly adopted son were watching at home in Florida. This time, young Caleb was decked out in a green-and-white striped Masters shirt and green tennis shoes
as he waddled over to his father. “This one’s a lot different,” Watson said. “The first one, for me, it was almost like I lucked into it.” After high-fiving the crowd on his way to sign his card, Watson returned to Butler Cabin to take back that green jacket he slipped on Adam Scott a year ago. “After giving it away last year, I wanted it back,” Watson said. “I told Adam we could just swap it back and forth every year.” Spieth, trying to become the youngest Masters champion, could only watch from the side of the green. He dazzled the massive crowd early by holing out for birdie from the front bunker on No. 4, and making back-toback birdies to build a two-shot lead through seven holes. Bidding to become the first player in 35 years to win a green jacket in his first try, Spieth looked to be well on his way. But he three-putted for bogey on No. 8 - the first 6 on his card all week - as Watson got up-and-down for birdie to tie for the lead. Spieth then made a rookie mistake, leaving his approach below the flagstick on No. 9 and watching it roll back into the fairway, setting up another bogey and two-shot swing.
Raptors tie team record, beat Pistons 116-107 Associated Press
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Kyle Lowry picked up his fifth foul at around the midway point of the fourth quarter - then was called for his sixth 20 seconds later. It was the type of mistake that could prove costly for Toronto in the playoffs, but this time the Raptors were able to overcome it. DeMar DeRozan scored 14 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, and the Raptors tied a franchise record for victories with a 116-107 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Lowry scored 28 points before fouling out with 5:51 remaining. “I was just glad the guys won it without me,”
Lowry said. “DeMar was rested going into the fourth quarter, and he really took over down the stretch. That’s what happens when he is aggressive - he can take over a game.” The Raptors (47-33) had already clinched the Atlantic Division, and the victory over Detroit was their 10th in 14 games. Toronto has reached the 47-win mark for the third time. The Raptors went 47-35 in 2001 and 2007. Andre Drummond had 14 points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons in the final home game of their dismal season. Detroit’s Josh Smith missed a fourth straight game with tendinitis in his left knee.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could have a heavy underpinning of fatigue as you start your day. Your dream life likely has been quite active, which could leave you feeling somewhat uneasy. You might react to a close partner by unleashing a snappy comment. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be more irritable than you realize. Listen carefully to feedback from an associate without passing judgment. You are likely to cast a sour perspective on any matter right now. A sudden insight could put you on a steadier course. Tonight: Do not push. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Know that you are not seeing the big picture right now. You often strive to gain a more creative perspective. Today you will need to detach from any ingrained views; you will create a more dynamic plan if you do. Brainstorm with a trusted buddy. Tonight: Fun and games.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You tend to come from a secure place, even when you’re in an argument. Keep an eye on someone’s offbeat energy, and acknowledge what you need to do in order to keep the peace. For some people, it could be as simple as doing some spring cleaning. Tonight: At home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Initiate a conversation, but give yourself an exit strategy if the other party seems to be unduly difficult. You are unlikely to run into a receptive audience, as those around you might be unusually aggressive or sensitive. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your concern might be your budget. Certainly a risk seems tempting. You might not be able to say “no.” If you were to gamble and lose, what would the damage be? Would you be able to handle it? If you feel you could, then consider it. Tonight: Your treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could find others to be
Tundra
somewhat difficult. Might you be coming across more provocatively than you had intended? Your fuse has been short lately, and news might be overwhelming, but know that all’s well that ends well. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to defer any interactions with certain people to others. You often suppress your anger, and it easily could be triggered. Unexpected demands at work or from others could send you into a tizzy. Treat yourself as a fragile object today. Tonight: Not to be found. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You flourish when loved ones and friends come together. Gather your cohorts together for a meeting, as it could trigger a flow of ideas. Deal with a partner directly. Do not negotiate a financial matter. You know what is good for you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A take-charge attitude will get you far, and it also will allow you to greet unusual success
and change. Still, someone might be undermining you on some level. Use care with a personal matter. You inadvertently could trigger a situation. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to step out of your comfort zone in order to find the answers you need. Confusion seems to surround communication. Someone could be looking for you in the wrong spot or at the wrong time. Confirm plans. Tonight: Do not second-guess yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be direct with a partner. It appears as if you can’t make a change without this person by your side. On some level, you believe that you can charm someone to your side of an issue. Realize that you could be taken aback by what you trigger. Tonight: Be nice and naughty. BORN TODAY Singer Loretta Lynn (1932), actor John Gielgud (1904), teacher Anne Sullivan (1866) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 26-year-old son graduated from college three years ago. He worked for his father for one year, worked on a marijuana farm for one year and has been living off of his savings for the past eight months. He hasn’t been looking for a job. He says he doesn’t want to work for someone else. Now he says he wants to move back to our town and live half of the year with me and half with my ex-husband, who lives two hours away. He refuses to pay rent. Annie, I don’t want him living here, freeloading. The problem is, I know he’ll come here anyway and stay several nights without officially moving in, because I live near his friends. How do I handle this without having it get really ugly? He’s not the easiest person to deal with. -- Reluctant Mom Dear Reluctant: It isn’t going to get better if you do nothing and find your son on your doorstep. You need to talk to him now, as calmly as possible, and let him know you love him, but you aren’t willing to subsidize his current lifestyle. If you choose, you could tell him that he can stay if he gets a job and pays a reasonable rent, or any variation that you prefer if you think he will honor it. Offer to help him look for employment and/ or an apartment of his own. Try to get your ex-husband on board so you both are helping your son get on a path toward responsibility. But you have to be willing to risk your son’s anger if you expect this to work. Dear Annie: I’m a high school student in a small town, and I’m really scared for my health. My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer, and she left behind three daughters, two of whom have daughters of their own. There’s a high chance that my mother, aunts, cousin or I could have breast cancer, as well. I’m scared to the bone of this disease, and I’m always nervous that my self-exams aren’t terribly accurate. I’ve talked to my mom about getting a professional exam or even a mammogram (though, to be honest, I’d be so much more comfortable with a mastectomy altogether), but I always feel like she avoids the subject. Is there any way I can get an exam without my mother knowing? If not, how can I convince her to get one with me? -- Worried in Wyoming Dear Worried: While having a close relative who has had breast cancer is a risk factor over one’s lifetime, it doesn’t necessarily mean that anyone else in your family will get it. A small percentage of the population carries the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, and if Grandma had this, your mother should speak to her doctor about genetic testing. Otherwise, your risk is no greater than any other girl your age. But we do agree that an exam might put your mind at ease. Ask your mother to make an appointment for you with a gynecologist. If she refuses, you can talk to your pediatrician about this at your next appointment, or contact Planned Parenthood (plannedparenthood.org) for information. Dear Annie: Please tell “End of the Line” not to despair. There are free or low-cost computer courses offered at places like Goodwill Industries (goodwill.org), which also offers help with resume writing, along with free job placement services. In Florida, we have Workforce Plus, which offers assistance, and I’m sure other states have similar services. As a former hiring manager, I often hired people in their 70s. Older workers have excellent work ethics and less absenteeism than younger workers. Plus, their years of business experience proved invaluable. At the age of 51, I decided to return to college and earn a B.A. in accounting, and I continue to take classes. You are never too old to learn. Please tell her not to give up. -- There Is Hope Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

If Tears Could Build a Stairway
If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, We would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. But know we know you want us to mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times, life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts is where you’ll always stay.

Mary Richardson 1952 - 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mary Richardson, beloved wife of Clay Richardson of Cranbrook, BC on March 29, 2014 at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. Mary was born in Lent, Holland on May 2, 1952. She immigrated to Canada in 1956 and resided in Lethbridge, AB until 1988 before moving with her family to Cranbrook. Mary dedicated her life to her family as a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Over the last 12 years Mary has been a Pastoral Care worker for the Catholic Diocese of Nelson working in Native Ministry. Her greatest love was working with the Ktunaxa and Shuswap nations, where she made countless friends. The support she received from the nations in her work was her greatest blessing. Besides her loving husband Clay, Mary is survived by two daughters, Erin (Ryan) Bernier and Sandra Richardson and three grandsons, Tobias Solorzano, Isaiah Richardson-Langa and Mylo Bernier of Calgary. She is also survived by two brothers, Frank (Geri) Vanden Heuvel and Leo (Sharon) Vanden Heuvel of Lethbridge, as well as many nephews, nieces and relatives in Holland. A funeral mass for Mary will be held Friday, April 25 at 11:00 am at Christ The Servant Catholic Church (1100 - 14th Avenue South) in Cranbrook, followed by a memorial feast at the Ktunaxa Nation Government Building located at 220 - Cranbrook Street North.

Canadians from coast to coast can view total lunar eclipse

250-427-5333 SOURCE: NADBANK JOURNAL SEPT/08
MONTREAL — If they can stay awake, Canadians from coast to coast will get a chance to view a total lunar eclipse this week — the first of four that will occur nearly every six months. Total lunar eclipses occur twice a year but are not visible everywhere on Earth at the same time. The year’s first eclipse will begin just before 2 a.m. EDT on Tuesday and will offer ideal viewing for observers throughout the Western Hemisphere. Andrew Fazekas, a spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, says North America hasn’t seen a total lunar eclipse since 2011. “We’ve actually had this cosmic dry spell that we’ve been under that’s lasted over two and a half years now,’’ he said in a recent interview. Fazekas noted that North America has been out of luck while Asia and Africa have had their share of such eclipses. “So we finally break that spell with this really beautiful total lunar eclipse where the full moon will turn an orangey-red in colour in the overnight period Monday night into Tuesday, April 14th to the 15th.’’
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, the Earth and the moon are in perfect alignment so that the Earth’s shadow completely covers the surface of the moon. “You can see this one — even within city limits — just using your eyes,’’ Fazekas explained. “You don’t need binoculars and it’s totally safe to see a lunar eclipse. It’s not like a solar eclipse — you can watch it with your naked eyes.’’ A solar eclipse happens when the moon comes between Earth and the sun and blocks the sun.
Watching it directly without special precautions can be harmful. For people on eastern time, this week’s eclipse will occur mostly during the early hours Tuesday. “You can expect it to start at about 1:58 a.m. eastern time,’’ Fazekas noted. “The full moon will rise in the local eastern horizon and it’ll be quite high in the sky by the time the eclipse happens — and that will really be kicking in at around 3:26 a.m. eastern.’’ The entire event, from the start until the moon is out of the
Earth’s shadow, will last approximately three and a half hours. Fazekas also said the actual colour of the eclipse is hard to predict because that’s influenced by the levels of pollutants and dust that are floating around the Earth’s atmosphere. “The more dust there is, the deeper orange and red will be the colour of the lunar eclipse,’’ he added. “It varies from one event to the other and we’ll just have to go outside and see for ourselves exactly what colour this lunar eclipse will be. Fazekas, who calls himself “The Night Sky
Guy,’’ pointed out that, including Tuesday’s eclipse, Canadians will get to see four in a row — a series known as a tetrad — over the next 18 months. “That won’t happen — that tetrad of lunar eclipses— for another 20 years,’’ he said. “So if you get clouded out or you just can’t get up so late in the overnight period, then you’ll have more chances over the next 18 months to see another total lunar eclipse.’’ The other three will occur Oct. 8 this year and April 4 and Sept. 28, 2015.
Calgary candidate beats Rob Anders and says Jason Kenney “should mind his own business” Bill Graveland Canadian Press
CALGARY — The man who defeated controversial Calgary MP Rob Anders for the nomination in Signal Hill took aim at one of the most powerful members of Stephen Harper’s cabinet late Saturday night. Moments after the results showed he’d won by a comfortable margin, former Alberta cabinet minister Ron Liepert took exception to the fact that Anders had received the endorsement of cabinet heavyweight Jason Kenney. “Quite frankly I think Minister Kenney should mind his own business. He should go into his own riding and try and get re-elected in his own riding and quit monkeying around at other nominations...anywhere in this province,’’ said Liepert, who made it abundantly clear
that he was angry at the interference. “You’re damn right I am. Why? Because it’s none of his business.’’ Liepert, 64, who held the health, energy and finance portfolios as a member of the Alberta legislature before opting not to run in the 2012 election, has never been afraid to speak his mind. He added that he wasn’t worried about any repercussions for his criticism of Kenney. For his part, Kenny struck a positive tone on Twitter after Liepert’s win. “Congratulations to Ron Liepert on winning the Conservative nomination in the new riding of Calgary Signal Hill. Look fwd to working together,’’ Kenny tweeted. More than 3,200 member-
ships were sold in Calgary Signal Hill which takes in part of Calgary West, the riding Anders has held since he was first elected in 1997 as a Reform party member. Party officials said 2,400 votes were cast Saturday. Anders had accused Liepert’s campaign of signing up Liberals and NDP supporters in an effort to unseat him. He released the names of known Liberals Liepert recruited. During the race, Conservative party officials chastised Anders for what they said were misleading phone calls. His campaign placed calls to party members that might have left the impression they were coming from Liepert’s campaign. If the target of the call was unsure about who they would support, the caller proceeded to criticize Liepert.
Liepert said the fact the negative campaign failed should serve as a warning to other candidates across the country. “We’re not into negative politics and I hope this is a good lesson for everyone running going forward that you should run on your record,’’ he said. “Talk about what you’ve achieved, what constituents want and stay away from the negative stuff because if there was one thing I heard from residents it was their disgust with the negativity.’’ Anders is known for his strong social conservative views and gained attention for his sometimes inflammatory statements, including his opposition to granting honorary citizenship to Nelson Mandela, branding the South African leader a communist and a terrorist.
