Symphony season ends with Saturday concert ARNE PETRYSHEN
This weekend the Symphony of the Kootenays will be holding its final concert of the season On Saturday, April 11, the concert will feature a number of pieces to entice your musical imagination. The first is Giaochino Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture. Bugs Bunny fans will instantly recognize that
piece, as it was featured in one episode of the cartoon. That will be followed by Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, performed by featured soloist Susan Gould on piano. Gould is a talented pianist out of Golden, who guides heli-skiing tours in the winter. The concert will finish with Ludwig Van
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Ian Adams, President of the Symphony of the Kootenays, said this season has been a wonderful success. “The audiences that we’ve had have in-
creased over the year,” Adams said. “The average capacity has been over 80 per cent over the course of the year, which is very good for the Symphony. To bring that number of people into the theatre is really posi-
tive for us.” Adams said they have had great feedback from audience members, as well as great feedback from the musicians. “We’re very pleased with the way things have gone,” he said.
Adams said the majority of the current Symphony of the Kootenays board has been in place for about three years. “One of the things we did at the outset was take a step back and
asked Symphony members and audience folks what music do you want to listen to?” he said. “Like any business you have to give customers what they want.”

IN COURT
Crown asks for six months in Jaffray shooting case TOWNSMAN STAFF
Lawyers presented a joint submission in a sentencing hearing in the case against a man charged with storage of a firearm contrary to regulation that resulted in the tragic death of a teenager in Jaffray. In addition, the man is also charged with criminal negligence causing death with a firearm. In front of Judge Grant Sheard in Cranbrook Provincial Court, Crown recommended a sentence of six months to be served within the community, along with other lengthly probationary restrictions. Evidence presented at the sentencing hearing, some of which was gathered from a preliminary hearing, are under a publication ban. Shannon Voth, the mother of the deceased, read a victim impact statement to the court. Voth said she feels like she is living in a prison since her son’s death and that her heart is shattered. “All of his dreams and aspirations are gone,” Voth said. “All of my dreams and aspirations are gone. “...He never leaves my mind.” On June 16, 2011, Michael Voth, who was 17 at the time, was killed after a shotgun discharged when a group of kids were in a Jaffray house without parental supervision. RCMP attended and seized numerous unsecured firearms from the residence. The judge’s decision is expected in May.

APRIL IS DAFFODIL MONTH: On Thursday, April 9, volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society were offering daffodil pins outside Max’s Place downtown. And they had a little help, in the flowery persons of Jason Wheeldon and Kenny Bridge, who donned daffodil garb and collected donations for the occasion. The event helps raise awareness and funds during Daffodil Month. Pictured above, from left: Jenn Smith (CCS), Lisa Barnes (Max’s Place) and Lori Stevenson (CCS).
