First Nations request seat at RDEK table TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Can representatives from First Nations have a seat at the regional district board table? That was the question asked by Chief Lorne Shovar
of the Akisqnuk First Nation in a letter to the Regional District of East Kootenay in March. However, there is no allowance for First Nation seats on regional district boards
that have not completed the treaty process, according to legislation contained within the Local Government Act. The RDEK voted to send a letter back to Shovar and the Akisqnuk First Nation with
that information, but some board directors said there are ways for First Nations across the region to provide input when making decisions. RDEK board chair Rob Gay said while First Nations
don’t currently have voting rights at the regional board table, they can still be involved in the decision-making process. He uses Area Planning Commissions as an example.
“For the rural areas, we have an area planning commission and the commissioners are basically hand-picked by the directors,” Gay said. “What we try to do is get people around the region, so in the case of Area C, I have someone from Moyie, I have someone from Ft. Steele, someone from Wardner, and these people volunteer their time to look at planning and development applications and provide advice.”

The snow pack in the East Kootenay remains unchanged from last month at 76 per cent of normal, according to the BC River Forecast Centre’s latest report. That is considered moderately low. However, there are a couple of areas in the province where the snow packs are extremely low, those being the South Coast at 13 per cent of normal and Vancouver Island at 15 per cent. Snow pack accumulation trends from early in the season have persisted throughout March.

Classic Greatness to end the Symphony season Ym e W o e n s d r e g t
T
he Symphony of the Kootenays performed its final concert of the 2014–2015 season with three familiar works of the classical repertoire. You might even say that it was a golden concert. It opened with the Overture to Rossini’s opera, The Barber of Seville. The opera is a riotous romp with the barber Figaro helping a lovesick nobleman win the woman of his dreams. The overture captures the essence of the opera, with its typical Rossinian wit and verve. Toe–tapping tunes abound in what is one of the most loves and best recognized

pieces in the classical repertoire. It has been used in many other venues than the concert or opera stage—in commercials, movies, and probably most famously in the Bugs Bunny cartoon, “Rabbit of Seville”. Principal oboe Aura Pons donned a set of rabbit ears as she played the famous tune. Maestro Jeff Farragher set a measured, almost too slow, pace at the beginning. His strategy became clear as the piece progressed, slowly gaining speed until it closed with a triumphant climax. The woodwinds, in particular, sparkled throughout. Golden pianist Sue Gould took the stage to play the Piano Concerto by Robert Schumann, who wrote it for his wife Clara. It begins with a single powerful chord in the orchestra, followed immediately by a piano flourish. The opening theme contrasts with a lyrical piano and clarinet duet. The second
movement, the Intermezzo, is sweet and songlike. The third movement launches straight out of the second movement and concludes with a vibrant finale, the piano almost dancing to an orchestral accompaniment. Gould played masterfully, drawing every emotion from this well– known concerto. She is another example of the amazing musical talent that lives in the Kootenays. The second half of the program featured Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in A. Beethoven himself considered it to be one of his finest works. After a very long introduction, the first movement danced rhythmically to a joyful conclusion. Many music lovers consider the second movement to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It was used to very great effect in the movie The King’s Speech, building up from a very simple
motif to a powerful song of joyful hope in the midst of a recovery from war. The last two movement bring the symphony to a joyful, rhythmic close, filled with a happy energy. The Symphony of the Kootenays is a treasure for us. Jeff Farragher indicated in his remarks that he has never worked with such a committed, generous, happy group of musicians. We are indeed fortunate to have such fine musical talent in our midst. The Symphony will play again on July 4 at 6:30 with its “Symphony on the Mountain” in Kimberley, with Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, the “Pastorale” as the centerpiece. Get your tickets now for what is sure to be a terrific experience. Thank you not only to the musicians, but also to the Board which has worked tirelessly to give the Symphony the support it needs to make such wonderful music.

COTR gets grant for research project Tre vor Cr awley
The College of the Rockies and the Southeast Kootenay School District are the recipients of $14,560 in funding from ViaSport, which will support an ongoing applied research project that is studying physical literacy. In front of students and staff at Steeples Elementary School, officials praised the work put in by the elementary students, as well as the college students and faculty who are gathering the data for the research project. The COTR students involved in the project are in kinesiology or the teacher education programs. Physical literacy refers to the mastering of fundamental movement skills such as running, skipping, hopping and galloping. “This research project will provide evidence that through purposeful physical literacy programming by qualified instructors, kids will develop greater proficiency in movement and will be more likely to participate in sport and physical activity as they get older,” said Eric Sinker, the coaching and leadership develop-

Between October and January, COTR students volunteered their
time to implement a lunchtime program to improve fundamental motor skills and from January to April, honorariums were provided to student mentors through funding assistance from ViaSport. The undertaking is the first applied research project at the College since it opened the Inspire Centre, which is designed to inspire innovation, research and excitement in teaching and learning.
“College of the Rockies wants to help our community partners solve real problems and advance innovation,” said Stan Chung, College of the Rockies Vice-President, Education. “We are delighted to participate in the area of physical literacy because this work truly transforms lives.” Chung says students and faculty have been able to draw some interesting conclusions from the research. “Our children are not
performing to standard on physical literacy. Things like hopping, skipping, jumping—the basics of fundamental movement,” Chung said. “We need to do some more work with our children, they need to be more active. “The other thing that we’re finding is, if you work with children you can really allow them to improve their physical literacy and that means healthier students, more active students, students who are better
able to learn.” Specifically, the ViaSport grant is going towards developing a lunch-hour Physical Literacy Kit that can be used to implement fun physical literacy intervention programs in local elementary schools. The goal is to expand it to more schools throughout the district in the future. Sandi Lavery, the UVIC Teacher Education Program Coordinator, is the lead COTR faculty member with the
Snow pack at 76 per cent of normal Snow accumulation through the month has been modest, and in some cases some locations experienced a net loss of snow. Declines in snow basin indices were observed in almost all basins between the March and April surveys. Field observations around the province indicate that snow packs at valley bottom to mid-elevation (e.g. 8001100m) is limited. As most snow basin indices are based on observations at higher elevations (e . g . 1100m-2000m), indices
Continued from page 1 reported may not fully reflect the snow pack situation at low to mid-elevation. Environment Canada is forecasting a very high likelihood of above normal temperatures over the April to June period across British Columbia, particularly for the coastal areas. By early April, nearly all of the annual BC snow pack has accumulated, with a typical peak accumulation occurring in mid-April. Additional accumulation through April is possible, but given the existing conditions, it is
expected that the province will generally start the melt at mid to high elevations this month. This means there is less likelihood of flooding this spring as the runoff begins. Given the snow conditions this year for most of the province, extreme weather, such as extreme precipitation or combined hot and wet weather, would be required to produce flooding or higher than expected flows, the snow report says. With extremely low snow packs in the Lower Fraser, South

Coast, Skagit and Vancouver Island, runoff from snow melt will be limited. Seasonal low flows are expected to occur earlier than normal this year; very low
flows can be expected in the summer unless significant rainfall occurs through the spring and summer. Lower snow packs in the West Kootenay, East Koote-
nay, Boundary, Similkameen, Okanagan, Stikine-Nass and Northwest indicate an increased likelihood of summer low flows in these regions as well.
project. “Kids can move, get active, run around, get their heart rates up, but to actually move well— can they run well? Can they run with skill? Can they jump properly? Can they hop?” Lavery said. “Those skills are being depleted because kids are not outside playing anymore. They’re with their video games, with their screen time.” Steeples Elementary principal David Martin has been concerned about decreasing levels of fundamental movement skills since he started teaching physical education in 1995. “Since the joint project between Steeples Elementary School and the College of the Rockies/UVIC Teacher Education began, we have noticed improved fundamental movement skills from our students,” Martin said. “Teachers have embraced the teaching of these skills and have reported being more focused in their delivery of physical education. Students appear to be more co-ordinated, better able to participate in physically demanding activities and are experience greater success when being physically active.” The project will be applying for additional grant money to help enhance the equipment at additional local schools and to distribute the kits.

Cranbrook-Wardner trail gets Phase 2 funding
For the Townsman
Trails BC announced last week that the National Trail Coalition will be supporting this year’s Phase 2 work on the Cranbrook to Wardner Destination Trail to the amount of $60,000. At a ceremony at the Isadore Canyon Trailhead on Wednesday April 8, David Wilks, MP for Kootenay Columbia made the funding announcement in front of a group of trail supporters. “The $60,000 NTC contribution will get us closer to our matching funding objectives with the National Trans Canada Trail,” said Trails BC director Al Skucas.

bution to the project will help us to complete our trail work on the rail grades that are on crown all the way through to Wardner, as well as allow us to get a good start on the Mayook Bypass section” The NTC funding is sourced from the federal government’s Canada’s Economic Action Plan and targets shovel ready trail projects that can be completed this year. $10 million dollars has been provided for trail projects all across the country. The trail for the most part will utilize an aban-
doned rail corridor on crown land from Cranbrook to Wardner with a bypass around private interests at Mayook. As a rustic and scenic complement to the already popular NorthStar Rails to Trails, this trail proposal will enhance outdoor recreational opportunities for our regional communities as well as serve to make the region a popular destination for trail users.

First Nations want seat at RDEK table Continued from page 1 Gay said he empathizes with the desire of First Nations to have a voice at the RDEK table. “We are looking for opportunities for First Nations to become involved with our form of government, so that may be an opportunity to appoint somebody on our planning commission boards,” Gay continued. Shovar’s letter requested that a full chair, with all associated responsibilities and duties, be given to each First Nation within the RDEK. “The Akisqnuk First Nation, like other first nations in the area, is a democratic community
with a council elected to make the best decisions possible for its members,” Shovar wrote. “In this way, first nations are much like the municipal governments that you and your fellow board members represent.” In addition to sending a response to Shovar, the RDEK board voted to give the Gay— the board chair—and Wendy Booth, the vicechair, informal authority to meet with the Akisqnuk chief and other interested First Nation leaders to explore options that would allow them to provide meaningful input to RDEK decisions.
trail amenity at the Highway 3 Ramparts Rest Area. Combined with the rail trail section, this makes for a lovely 6.5 km loop trail. Preliminary work was also started on a section of the Ha Ha Road to Ward-
ner approach rail grade section. There are some minor works to be completed this spring but the rail trail section to Pritchard Road is currently usable in its improved state. At this time we can-
not recommend cycle use on the Rampart Connector section as the graveled surface is still somewhat wet and has not completely set. However walkers are more than welcome to try out the new trail.
Although matching funding is yet to be completely raised for Phase 2 of the project, Trails BC and its partners are well on our way in raising a good portion of these funds.
Elephant hunt on Rails 2 Trails
Help spring clean the trail and become a participant in the NorthStar Rails2Trails Society C A RO LYN GR A N T
The NorthStar Rails2Trails Society, which acts as steward of the 30-kilometre paved trail between Kimberley and Cranbrook, has a counter on the trail. From that the Society has determined that almost 100,000 people used the trail last year. “Some people are using it every day, others only once,” said Society President Rob McIntyre “But it’s an exciting number. It shows that the trail has become a very important and appreciated amenity in our area.” With that many people using the trail, some clean up is required each spring. There are only so many volunteers, so this spring the Society
The community is asked to assist in a R2T cleanup is asking trail users to go on an elephant hunt, and bring along a rake, a broom and a garbage bag. “The elephant hunt is an idea we had a year or two ago,” McIntyre said. ““We’ve revived it. What we want is people to just go out spontaneously, pick a kilometre of trail and clean it up.” The trail officially opens for the season on May 1, meaning the washrooms will be open, but lots of people
are already out enjoying it, given the early spring. “We’d like to keep it spontaneous,” McIntyre said. “Just enjoy walking or biking, but do some sweeping, pick up litter, remove large rocks and throw them a metre away from the trail. If everyone helps it makes less work for board members and volunteers. Rather than organize a work party on a specific day we thought the elephant hunt might be fun.” By the way, any ele-

Last days to register for EKIPC speaker series Arne Petryshen
Time is running out to register for the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council Annual General Meeting and Speaker Series, which is April 16. Those attending will learn about what the council is currently working at and how everyone can play a part to minimize the spread of invasive plants in the East Kootenay. “Our theme of the AGM is working together to minimize spread, because we’ve realized that invasive species affect almost every organization in the area and people are dealing with them in one way or another,” explained Todd Larson, program manager at the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Coun-
cil (EKIPC). The meeting and speaker series will take place Thursday, April 16 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Prestige Hotel. EKIPC will highlight its programs, outreach activities and field operations of the past year. There will also be presentations regarding invasive species by Teck Coal, the Ministry of Environment, RDEK and Crown of the Continent. Larson said Teck, for instance, will be talking about how it affects industry. The Ministry of Environment will be speaking about a recent funding provision to install boat wash station across the province to help stop the spread of invasive aquatic spe-
cies to local lakes. This year there will be a new feature at the meeting — “Speedy sessions on invasive species”. “We’ll have several tables with some local experts on different topics and people can go to each table for 15 minutes and talk to the person in more of a one-on-one conversation,” he said. Those topics will include weed seeds, cow grazing, recreation, aquatic invasives, the private landowner program, community action, First Nations, Industry, biocontrol and more. One of those topics will also cover a newly developed Koocanusa code of conduct for
recreation, which includes portions on how to stop the spread of invasive species in that area. The annual general meeting portion will focus on the finances, proposed changes to bylaws and the election of new directors. The Golden Shovel Award, which recognizes leaders in invasive species management and awareness, will also be presented. Register for the annual general meeting and speaker series by emailing Larson at coordinator@ekipc.com or Stephanie Daniels at stephanie.daniels@gov.bc.ca. The fee for registration will be $15 and will be collected at the door.
B.C. treaty process too slow, but what’s next for governments, First Nations? Dirk Meissner Canadian Press
VICTORIA - There is easy agreement between First Nations and the British Columbia and federal governments that treaty negotiations are languishing, expensive and fraught with obstacles, but all sides have completely different views on how to solve the trouble. The agony and ecstasy of the maligned and saluted treaty process was on full display last week when hundreds of cheering people witnessed the signing of an agreement-in-principle on a southern Vancouver Island treaty after 20 years of talks. Premier Christy Clark’s Liberals refused to appoint former provincial cabinet minister George Abbott as the new chief of the B.C. Treaty Commission - the overseer of the federal, provincial and First Nations negotiation process - suggesting changes must be made. Federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt is digesting a report from federal envoy Doug Eyford that recommends Ottawa approach treaties with a sense of urgency and consider which talks are progressing and which should be dumped. B.C.’s First Nations Summit, the prov-
ince’s largest aboriginal organization, wants Ottawa and B.C. treaty negotiators to come to the table with the power to make decisions rather than being forced to retreat to back rooms for approval of every move. That convoluted plot line was evident at the signing ceremony Thursday when drums pounded, singers chanted and chiefs choked back tears as they honoured the commitment and sacrifice of leaders who spent years at negotiating tables. Songhees First Nation Chief Ron Sam described himself as somewhat of a treaty-table rookie, devoting only six years to negotiations. Twenty years to reach a deal is too long, said Sam. “These are good faith negotiations, so I think there needs to be some recognition of everybody’s role in the whole process and not have it bogged down in political aspects,” he said. First Nations Summit spokeswoman Cheryl Casimer said moves are underway to get the three sides to meet later this month. First Nations will tell the governments they need to pick up their pace if they want to speed up treaty settlements, she said. “Get some real negotiators,” said Ca-
simer. “Get some real mandates. If we had that at the table we would have far more agreements in place than we have today.” Four treaties have resulted from the modern-day treaty process that was launched in 1993. British Columbia is the only province that didn’t sign treaties with most of its more than 200 First Nations. A handful of bands signed agreements through the socalled Douglas Treaties in the mid-1800s. “We can’t keep people waiting,” said Casimer. “We’re talking about peoples lives here.” B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad said the current treaty process is in need of an overhaul where deals no longer take decades to achieve. “I think each side has to look in the mirror a little bit in terms of how they’ve contributed to this not being successful,” he said. “It’s something all parties need to be thinking about in terms of how we build whatever process will be going forward.” Rustad said B.C. has achieved success with a stepping-stone approach to treaty making that involves reaching a series of smaller economic and land agreements that could eventually set the stage for final treaties.

Or rather, some of Britain by 2050, despite having three times the BRICs are nipping at their heels, and as many people. And Russia’s performance is downright embarrassing: its economy some are not. That’s the big news. We owe the concept of the BRICs to Jim barely doubles in the next 35 years, and it
ends up smaller than Spain’s. So six of the top ten countries in the 2050 list are already there today, and the world isn’t going to look so dramatically different at all. Now, predictions like this are open to all sorts of criticism. China’s growth rate has consistently been two or three percentage points higher than India’s for several decades. Project that to 2050, and China ends up far ahead of India. But China’s growth rate is falling, and India’s may even overtake it this year. India will almost certainly grow faster in the long run, because it has a young, rapidly growing labour force and China does not. There’s enough time for that to change the pecking order radically by 2050. The recent performance of the economy obviously affects the long-range forecast more than it should, so Russia drops down the list and Mexico goes soaring up. Five years ago it would have been the other way around, and yet there’s no reason to believe that the fundamental strengths of either economy have changed. And then there are the “Black Swans”, events like the Sarajevo assassination that tumbled the world into the First World War and invalidated all existing assumptions about the economic future. Not to mention the disasters that you know are coming, like catastrophic climate change – but leave out of your calculations anyway, because you don’t know how to quantify them and don’t know when they will arrive even to the nearest decade. All that said, some sketchy notion of what the future may bring is better than no idea whatever. And the basic idea behind the BRICs is still sound: the centre of gravity of the world economy is moving south and east.

NHL Eastern Conference Playoff Preview:
RANGERS vs PENGUINS
CANADIENS vs SENATORS
REGULAR SEASON: Rangers went 53-22-7 (113 points) to win Metropolitan Division, Presidents’ Trophy. Penguins went 43-27-12 (98 points) to get second wild-card spot. SEASON SERIES: Rangers won 3-0-1, with two wins in regulation. STORY LINE: After losing in the Stanley Cup finals to the L.A. Kings last year, the Rangers came roaring back with a franchise record for wins and points, topping the 1993-94 mark. That’s the last time they won the title, and this team has been poised to end that 21-year wait. The Rangers had the NHL’s best road record this season, too. The Penguins held a 3-1 lead in the second round last year against the Rangers before losing three straight games. They’ve stumbled into the playoffs this time. NEW YORK’S KEY PLAYER: Rick Nash. After leading the Rangers with a career-high 42 goals this season, he will try to reverse his personal trend of quiet post-season performances. In 41 playoff games, Nash has only five goals and 13 assists. In the 25game playoff run last year, Nash scored three times. PITTSBURGH’S KEY PLAYER: Marc-Andre Fleury. He led the league with 10 shutouts this season, but Fleury has had more shaky playoff performances than sharp ones lately. He has given up 121 goals in 44 post-season games over the last five years with a 21-22 record. GAME 1: Thursday at New York, 7 p.m. PREDICTION: Rangers in 5.
REGULAR SEASON: Canadiens went 50-22-10 (110 points) to win Atlantic Division. Senators went 43-26-13 (99 points) to get first wild-card spot. SEASON SERIES: Senators won 3-1, with three wins in regulation. STORY LINE: The Canadiens finished with the NHL’s second-best record, bringing a stifling defence, the game’s most dominant goalie and an elite scorer in Max Pacioretty to the tournament. But the Senators went 23-4-4 over their final 31 games and outscored the Canadiens 13-5 while winning their three most recent matchups. Pacioretty ominously missed the last two games of the regular season with a concussion, too. MONTREAL’S KEY PLAYER: Carey Price. The William M. Jennings Trophy co-winner set a franchise record for victories by going 44-16-6. Price was the first goaltender to lead the league in the three major statistical categories since Ed Belfour with the Blackhawks in the 1990-91 season. He also posted the third-highest save percentage since the NHL began tracking the stat 38 years ago. OTTAWA’S KEY PLAYER: Mark Stone. The rookie right wing was a driving force in the Senators’ late surge, along with fellow first-year forward Mike Hoffman. Stone finished with 26 goals and 38 assists to lead NHL rookies and finished the season on a ninegame point streak with eight goals and five assists. GAME 1: Wednesday at Montreal, 7 p.m. PREDICTION: Senators in 7.
CAPITALS vs ISLANDERS
LIGHTNING vs RED WINGS
REGULAR SEASON: Capitals went 45-26-11 (101 points) to finish second in Metropolitan Division. Islanders went 47-28-7 (101 points) to finish third in Metropolitan Division. SEASON SERIES: Tied 2-2. Capitals won only game decided in regulation. STORY LINE: These old Patrick Division rivals will face off in the post-season for the first time in 22 years, fittingly in the final days of the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island that will be vacated by the Islanders for Brooklyn next season. John Tavares leads a talented young core of Islanders forwards. For all the brilliance displayed by Alex Ovechkin over his 10 years with the Capitals, they’ve never advanced past the second round of the playoffs. WASHINGTON’S KEY PLAYER: Evgeny Kuznetsov. Coach Barry Trotz experimented with the 22-year-old centre down the stretch, putting him on Ovechkin’s line with obvious success. He had 37 points in his first full NHL season and could be a big help for Ovechkin, who led the NHL with 53 goals for his third straight year and fifth time overall. NEW YORK’S KEY PLAYER: Jaroslav Halak. The All-Star goalie set an Islanders record with 38 wins, but he wasn’t at his best after the break. Halak gave up three or more goals in five of his last seven starts. GAME 1: Wednesday at Washington, 7 p.m. PREDICTION: Islanders in 6.

The young Master
Spieth claims Masters title; re-writes record book Doug Ferguson Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Jordan Spieth got more than redemption and a green jacket Sunday. He took his place among the best in the game with a Masters victory for the ages. One year after Spieth lost a bid to become the youngest Masters champion, the 21-year-old Texan turned in one of the most dominant wins ever at Augusta National. He never let anyone get closer than three shots after his record start. He never gave anyone much hope on Sunday. Spieth closed with a 2-under 70, missing a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that would have set yet another record. Instead, he tied the score set by Tiger Woods in 1997 at 18-under 270. “This was the ultimate goal in my golf life,” Spieth said. Spieth became the first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters since Raymond Floyd in 1976, and this might have been even more special. Craig Woods in 1941 is the only other Masters champion who led by at least three shots from
the opening round to the trophy presentation. Phil Mickelson tried to make a run. So did Justin Rose.
Mickelson (69) and Rose (70) tied for second. It was the 10th time Mickelson has been runner-up in a major. Woods jarred his right wrist then he struck wood under the pine straw on the ninth hole. He recovered and closed with a 73, 13 shots behind. Spieth won for the third time on tour and fifth time worldwide. He will rise to No. 2 in the world rankings, still a ways to go to catch McIlroy at the top. “I thought today might be easier having played with the lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spieth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. ... I’m
NHL Briefs Panthers re-sign Jaromir Jagr Tim Reynolds Associated Press
REGULAR SEASON: Lightning went 50-24-8 (108 points) to finish second in Atlantic Division. Red Wings went 43-25-14 (100 points) to finish third in Atlantic Division. SEASON SERIES: Lightning won 3-1, with two wins in regulation. STORY LINE: Former Red Wings great Steve Yzerman is now the Lightning GM, hopeful his Steven Stamkos-led team can build off the franchise-record 108 points. The Red Wings made the playoffs for the 24th straight year, one of the most remarkable streaks in pro sports, but their goalie situation is unsettled. TAMPA BAY’S KEY PLAYER: Tyler Johnson. Stamkos was second in the NHL with 43 goals, but the second line of Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov is a major asset. DETROIT’S KEY PLAYER: Petr Mrazek. Jimmy Howard, who has had plenty of past playoff success, missed a month this winter with a groin injury and didn’t return to his All-Star form. Mrazek, who has never played in the post-season, had his growing pains but posted a 35-save shutout in the regular season finale. Coach Mike Babcock was noncommittal about his starter for the playoffs, but seeing both of them in the net in the series wouldn’t be a surprise. GAME 1: Thursday at Tampa Bay, 7:30 p.m. PREDICTION: Lightning in 7.

SUNRISE, Fla. - Jaromir Jagr and the Florida Panthers have agreed to a one-year contract on the first day of the team’s off-season.
Leafs clean house
Jagr had six goals and 12 assists in 20 games with the Panthers after arriving in a trade Feb. 26. GM Dale Tallon said Jagr will receive a base salary of about $3.5 million, with incentives.
Sabres fire Nolan
C anadian Press
John Wawrow Associated Press
TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired GM Dave Nonis, interim head coach Peter Horachek and Horachek’s entire staff. The move comes the day after the Leafs finished 30-44-8 for 68 points, missing the NHL playoffs. The Leafs’ points were the fewest in an 82-game season since 1996-97. Also fired were coaches Steve Spott, Chris Dennis and Rick St. Croix.
BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres have fired coach Ted Nolan a day after their season ended with a second consecutive last-place finish. GM Tim Murray announced the decision in a release issued by the team on Sunday. The Sabres hired Nolan in November 2013 on an interim basis after Ron Rolston was fired. It was Nolan’s second stint in Buffalo. This time, he took over a rebuilding team that went 23-51-8.
still kind of shock a little bit.” He will keep editors of the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week: 36-hole record at 14-under 130; 54hole record at 16-under 200; most birdies for the tournament at 28; lowest opening round by a champion at 64; youngest player to lead after the opening round. Spieth showed early he was up to challenge. Rose, starting the final round four shots behind, rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the first hole, and Spieth calmly made his birdie putt from just inside him. Spieth went out in 35 to build his lead to five shots, and one putt later, the Masters effectively was over. McIlroy had a 68-66 weekend, hurt by his slow start and put him 12 shots going into the weekend. He will have to wait until next year to try to win the Masters and become the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. The way Spieth is playing, that task just got a little harder. In his last four starts, Spieth has won twice and finished second twice.
Benn wins Art Ross Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
TORONTO - The Art Ross Trophy race came down to the final minutes of a game on the last day of the NHL regular season. That’s not the only reason it was a historic accomplishment. Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars picked up two points in the final 125 seconds Saturday night to pass John Tavares of the New York Islanders for his first Art Ross. Benn’s 87 points are the lowest to lead the NHL since Gordie Howe’s 86 in 1962-63 and the second-lowest points per game in history (1.06), behind the trophy’s first winner, Elmer Lach, in 1947-48 (1.02). Alexander Ovechkin, scored 53 goals as the runaway Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy winner. Steven Stamkos finished second with 43 goals.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a disabled single mother of two, and I work part time. We live in a modest mobile home that is becoming too difficult for me to maintain. The hard winter resulted in frequent frozen water pipes, no heat and high utility bills. My parents have offered to purchase a house for us, and I would only have to pay the taxes. The problem is my sister, who lives out of state with a well-off husband. She does not agree with my parents’ generous offer and is very critical of me. This makes things uncomfortable. She will demand that my parents make a similar offer to her, which she certainly does not need. Our parents have helped my sister in the past, including an extravagant wedding. Should I refuse the offer in order to keep the minimal peace I have with her? -- Desperate Times Dear Desperate: Please do not make this an issue between you and your sister. It is between your parents and your sister. She begrudges you this house because she believes her parents favor you, and that, for whatever reason, you don’t deserve it. She doesn’t see the things your parents have done for her as equally fair. You have two children who need a stable home, so we say take the offer, but do your best to maintain it responsibly and repay your parents over time. Your sister accomplishes nothing by preventing you from accepting this deal, except perhaps the satisfaction of knowing that she has power over the family’s decisions. Let your parents discuss it with her and deal with the fallout. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Baffled in Boston,” the recently widowed woman whose longtime dear friends are now advising her on everything, despite the widow’s competence. She first needs to understand that there has been a change in her relationship with these friends. They’re not accustomed to dealing with an adult who lacks a partner, so they are treating her like a child. She needs to show them that the loss of her husband didn’t turn her into a 5-year-old. She should go line dancing, join a political group, teach a class or take up skydiving -- do something adult that she enjoys, and talk about it when her friends are with her and offer to share it with them. Ask them about their activities. Help them to see that adults can live alone and remain competent, and that her widowhood has not changed her into anything less. Chances are that one of these people will face the same loss someday. If “Baffled” can show them how to continue on before they need to face that time, they will probably find it easier to accept her widowhood without fear. -Someone Who Has Spent a Lot of Adult Years Alone Dear Someone: There is a great deal of wisdom in what you say. And we think it’s a terrific idea for her to share her activities with them, letting them see how well she is managing on her own. Thanks.

In the early morning hours of Thursday, April 2, 2015, Joanne Denise Pedrotti passed away at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 76 years. She was born on May 4, 1938 in Trail, BC to John and Winifred Morris. Joanne’s family moved to Kimberley in 1949. She met her husband, John in Kimberley and they married in 1961. John and Joanne loved to travel. They owned a trailer at the time and loved to visit various locations throughout the US and Canada. What Joanne loved most was spending time with her grandchildren. As her children, none of us ever had to worry about a babysitter because she was always ready and willing to take them. She would even have them for a whole week at a time --Joanne and the grandchildren have many fond memories of their times together. Joanne worked at the Bank of Montreal in Kimberley and Cranbrook. She worked herself up from a teller to a Loans Officer. She retired in 1989. After her husband, John passed away, Joanne didn’t travel as much. She had always loved to read and she spent many hours with her eyes in the books. She enjoyed reading up until about a year ago when her eyesight failed. She was a wonderful mother, sister and friend, and we will miss her very much. Joanne leaves to cherish her memory two daughters; Lisa (Mike) Boucher and Colleen Pedrotti and her grandchildren; Nicole, Kristine, Kyle and Ryan. She is survived by one brother; Craig (Rosemary) Morris and many more extended family members and close friends. Joanne was predeceased by her husband, John in 1989, her daughter Lynda LaBoucane in 2010, and her brother Bill in 1979. As per Joanne’s request, there will be no funeral service. In honor of Joanne’s memory, please make a donation to the BC Children’s Hospital, 4480 Oak St., Vancouver, BC V6H 4H6 or to the Kootenay SPCA, 3339 Hwy 3/95, PO Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com
