Residential property taxes will rise 3%; business 2%

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley has completed their five-year financial plan and the community is invited to a public consultation session Monday, April 20, 2015 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers. At that time, residents can provide input. Written input will also be welcomed prior to the meeting.

The budget process is a long one, beginning al-

most immediately after Council was elected last fall and going through the winter. Much of the work was hammered out in Committee of the Whole meetings which were open to the public.

In the end, taxpayers in Kimberley are looking at property tax increases, though not as large as in the 2014 financial plan when residential taxes rose 4%.

The 2015 Financial Plan calls for a 3% in-crease on Residential Class taxes, and a 2% in-crease on Light Industrial, Business and Other and Recreation Class taxes.

Help spring clean the trail and become a participant in the NorthStar Rails2Trails

Bulletin Editor

The NorthStar Rail-s2Trails Society, which acts as steward of the 30-kilometre paved trail between Kimberley and Cranbrook, has a count-

er on the trail. From that the Society has de-termined that almost 100,000 people used the trail last year.

“Some people are using it every day, oth-ers only once,” said So-ciety President Rob McIntyre “But it’s an ex-citing number. It shows that the trail has be-come a very important and appreciated ameni-ty in our area.”

With that many peo-ple using the trail, some clean up is required each spring.

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 typi-cal 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 com-mercials, movies, and probably most famous-ly in the Bugs Bunny cartoon, “Rabbit of Se-ville”. Principal oboe Aura Pons donned a set of rabbit ears as she played the famous tune.

Maestro Jeff Farra-gher 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 tri-umphant climax. The woodwinds, in particu-lar, sparkled through-out.

Golden pianist Sue Gould took the stage to play the Piano Concer-to by Robert Schumann, who wrote it for his wife Clara. It begins with a single powerful chord in the orchestra, fol-lowed immediately by a piano flourish. The opening theme con-trasts with a lyrical piano and clarinet duet. The second

movement, the Inter-mezzo, is sweet and songlike. The third movement launches straight out of the sec-ond movement and concludes with a vi-brant finale, the piano almost dancing to an orchestral accompani-ment.

Gould played mas-terfully, drawing every emotion from this well–known concerto. She is another example of the amazing musical talent that lives in the Koote-nays.

The second half of the program featured Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in A. Bee-thoven himself consid-ered 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 move-ment bring the sym-phony to a joyful, rhythmic close, filled with a happy energy.

The Symphony of the Kootenays is a trea-sure for us. Jeff Farra-gher indicated in his remarks that he has never worked with such a committed, gen-erous, happy group of musicians. We are in-deed fortunate to have such fine musical talent in our midst.

The Symphony will play again on July 4 at 6:30 with its “Sympho-ny on the Mountain” in Kimberley, with Bee-thoven’s Sixth Sympho-ny, the “Pastorale” as the centerpiece. Get your tickets now for what is sure to be a ter-rific 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.

Classic Greatness to end the Symphony season

PUBLIC CONSULTATION2015 - 2019 Financial PlanThere will be a Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss the 2015 - 2019 Financial Plan at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 20, 2015 in Council Chambers at City Hall.

Members of the Community are welcome to attend or provide written submissions.

The 2015 - 2019 Financial Plan is scheduled for the Monday, April 27, 2015 Regular Council Meeting for � rst three readings and the Monday, May 11, 2015 Regular Council Meeting for adoption.

The 2015 - 2019 Financial Plan is available on the City Website www.kimberley.ca under “latest news” and on Facebook. Copies are also available at City Hall.

From page 1There are only so many volun-

teers, so this spring the Society 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 wash-rooms 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. Rath-er than organize a work party on a

specific day we thought the elephant hunt might be fun.”

By the way, any elephants you cap-ture are yours to keep.

Keep the date Tuesday, May 12 in mind as well as that’s when the Rail-s2Trails Society will hold their AGM.

It will be held at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook at 7 p.m. Last year it was in Kimberley and the Society intends to go back and forth each year.

“We’re hoping those who enjoy and love the Trail will attend,” McIn-tyre said.

From Page 1The Business Class

to Residential Class tax ratio for 2015 is 2.50:1.00, an increase from the 2014 ratio of 2.39:1.00 but still down from the high of 3.02:1.00 in 2008. The 2014 Provincial average was 2.61.

In her financial plan report, City CFO Holly Ronnquist noted that during deliberations for the 2015 – 2019 Finan-cial Plan, Council en-gaged in several discus-sions regarding the re-duction or elimination of the Flat Tax. However, the majority of Council supported no change to the Flat Tax system in 2015.

In 2015 the residen-tial flat tax will remain the same at $786 for a

residential property with improvements and $310 for a residential property without im-provements. The Aquat-ic Centre parcel tax is increased to $152 in 2015.

The general munici-pal property tax in-crease for the average single family residence valued at $231,556 is es-timated to be $60.35. The total general mu-nicipal tax (mill rate tax, flat tax and Aquatic Centre parcel tax) for an average single family residence in 2015 is esti-mated to be $2,223.95 before the Home Owner Grant ($6.09 per day) for all municipal ser-vices excluding water, sewer and solid waste.

In 2015, utilities will cost an average of $2.04

per day, quarterly $186.45, $745.80 for the year. In order to pay for infrastructure renewal, utilities are scheduled to rise each year. By the end of the five-year fi-nancial plan in 2019, utility costs will be $238.15 per quarter or $952.60 per year.

The City projects ex-penditures of $24,152,777 in 2015. This includes $2.3 mil-lion in general govern-ment expenses, $2.4 in protective services, $2.8 million in transporta-tion and civic works and $2.7 in expenditures on water, sewer and solid waste.

East Kootenay snow pack at 76 per cent of normalC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

The snow pack in the East Kootenay re-mains unchanged from last month at 76 per cent of normal, according to the BC River Forecast Cen-tre’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 nor-mal and Vancouver Island at 15 per cent.

Snow pack accu-mulation trends from early in the season h av e p e r s i s t e d throughout March. 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 sur-veys.

Field observations around the province indicate that snow packs at valley bot-tom to mid-elevation (e.g. 800-1100m) is limited. As most snow basin indices are based on observa-tions at higher eleva-t i o n s ( e . g . 1100m-2000m), indi-ces reported may not

fully reflect the snow pack situation at low to mid-elevation.

Environment Can-ada is forecasting a very high likelihood of above normal tem-peratures over the April to June period across British Colum-bia, particularly for the coastal areas.

By early April, nearly all of the annu-al BC snow pack has accumulated, with a typical peak accumu-lation occurring in mid-April. Additional a c c u m u l a t i o n through April is pos-sible, but given the existing conditions, it is expected that the province will general-

ly start the melt at mid to high eleva-tions this month.

This means there is less likelihood of flooding this spring as the runoff begins. Given the snow con-ditions this year for most of the province, extreme weather, such as extreme pre-cipitation or com-bined hot and wet weather, would be re-quired 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, E a s t Ko o t e nay , Boundary, Similka-meen, Okanagan, Sti-kine-Nass and North-west indicate an in-creased likelihood of summer low flows in these regions as well.

Lawyers presented a joint submis-sion in a sentencing hearing in the case against a man charged with stor-age 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 com-munity, along with other lengthly pro-bationary restrictions.

Evidence presented at the sen-tencing 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 state-ment 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 unse-cured firearms from the residence.

The judge’s decision is expected in May.

Can representatives from First Nations have a seat at the regional district board table?

That was the ques-tion asked by Chief Lorne Shovar of the Akisqnuk First Nation in a letter to the Regional District of East Koote-nay in March.

However, there is no allowance for First Na-tion seats on regional district boards that have not completed the trea-ty process, according to legislation contained within the Local Gov-ernment Act.

The RDEK voted to

send a letter back to Shovar and the Akisq-nuk 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 Plan-ning Commissions as an example.

“For the rural areas, we have an area plan-ning 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 appli-cations and provide ad-vice.”

Gay said he empa-thizes with the desire of First Nations to have a voice at the RDEK table.

“We are looking for opportunities for First Nations to become in-volved with our form of government, so that may be an opportunity to appoint somebody on our planning com-mission boards,” Gay continued.

Shovar’s letter re-quested that a full chair, with all associated re-sponsibilities and du-ties, 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 mem-bers,” Shovar wrote. “In this way, first nations are much like the mu-nicipal governments that you and your fellow board members repre-sent.”

In addition to send-ing a response to Sho-var, the RDEK board voted to give the Gay—the board chair—and Wendy Booth, the vice-chair, informal authori-ty to meet with the Akis-qnuk chief and other interested First Nation leaders to explore op-tions that would allow them to provide mean-ingful input to RDEK decisions.

Arne PetryshenTime is running out to regis-

ter for the East Kootenay Inva-sive Plant Council Annual General Meeting and Speaker Series, which is April 16.

Those attending will learn about what the council is cur-rently working at and how ev-eryone can play a part to mini-mize 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 al-most every organization in the area and people are dealing with them in one way or anoth-er,” 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 pro-grams, outreach activities and field operations of the past year. There will also be presen-tations regarding invasive spe-cies by Teck Coal, the Ministry of Environment, RDEK and Crown of the Continent.

Larson said Teck, for in-stance, will be talking about how it affects industry.

The Ministry of Environ-ment will be speaking about a recent funding provision to in-stall 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 inva-sive species”.

“We’ll have several tables with some local experts on dif-ferent 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, rec-reation, aquatic invasives, the private landowner program, community action, First Na-tions, Industry, biocontrol and more.

One of those topics will also cover a newly developed Koo-canusa 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 fi-nances, proposed changes to bylaws and the election of new directors.

The Golden Shovel Award, which recognizes leaders in in-vasive species management and awareness, will also be presented.

Register for the annual gen-eral meeting and speaker se-ries by emailing Larson at [email protected] or Stepha-nie Daniels at [email protected]. The fee for reg-istration will be $15 and will be collected at the door.

VICTORIA - There is easy agreement between First Nations and the British Co-lumbia and federal governments that trea-ty 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 dis-play last week when hundreds of cheering people witnessed the signing of an agree-ment-in-principle on a southern Vancou-ver Island treaty after 20 years of talks.

Premier Christy Clark’s Liberals refused to appoint former provincial cabinet min-ister 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 Ber-nard Valcourt is digesting a report from federal envoy Doug Eyford that recom-mends 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 trea-ty-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 govern-ments 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 so-called 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 mir-ror a little bit in terms of how they’ve con-tributed 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.

B.C. treaty process too slow, but what’s next for governments, First Nations?

“T he only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable,” said John

Kenneth Galbraith, the wisest American economist of his generation. (“A paltry hon-our,” he would have murmured.) But you still can’t resist wondering when the Chi-nese economy will be bigger than the US economy – or the Brazilian bigger than the British, or the Turkish bigger than the Ital-ian – as if it were some kind of horse race.

The latest document to tackle these questions is “The World in 2050”, drawn up by HSBC bank, which ranks the world’s hundred biggest econo-mies as they are now, and as (it thinks) they will be in 2050. It contains the usual little surprises, like a prediction that per capita incomes in the Philippines and Indonesia, now roughly the same, will diverge so fast that the aver-age Filipino will have twice the income of the average Indonesian by 2050.

The Venezuelan economy will only tri-ple in size, but Peru’s economy will grow eightfold. Per capita income will double-and-a-bit in Nigeria; in Ethiopia it will grow sixfold. Bangladesh powers past Pa-kistan, with a per capita income in 2050 that’s half again as big as Pakistan’s. (It’s only two-thirds of Pakistan’s at the mo-ment.) And so on and so forth: local phe-nomena mostly of interest to local people.

But what’s happening at the top of the list is of interest to everybody. That’s where the great powers all live, with the BRICs nipping at their heels. Or rather, some of the BRICs are nipping at their heels, and some are not. That’s the big news.

We owe the concept of the BRICs to Jim

O’Neill, who came up with it almost fifteen years ago when he was head of economics at Goldman Sachs. He was the first to real-ise that some big, poor countries were growing so fast economically that they would overtake the established great pow-ers in a matter of decades.

The really impressive performers were Brazil, Russia, India and China, so he just called them the BRICs – and pointed out

that at current growth rates the Chinese economy would be bigger than that of the United States by the 2040s. We’re quite familiar with that kind of prediction today, but at the time it was shocking (especially to Americans), and the term BRIC has be-

come firmly entrenched in the language. Just in time for HSBC to spoil it.

By now the BRICs are formally the BRICS (with a capital S added for South Africa), . But the South African economy is only in the group out of courtesy, because you couldn’t leave Africa out altogether. It’s much smaller than any of the others and growing very slowly, so you can safely leave it out of the calculations altogether.

China is performing roughly as expect-ed, and by 2050 its economy will be around 10 percent bigger than that of the United States. (Per capita income, of course, is a different matter, and even then China’s will be only a third of America’s.) India will come next, but with an economy only one-third as big as China or the United States

.But the other BRICs practically vanish from view. Brazil hasn’t even overtaken Britain by 2050, despite having three times as many people. And Russia’s performance is downright embarrassing: its economy 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 al-ready 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 per-centage points higher than India’s for sev-eral decades. Project that to 2050, and China ends up far ahead of India. But Chi-na’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, rapid-ly 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 econo-my obviously affects the long-range fore-cast 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, be-cause 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 grav-ity of the world economy is moving south and east.

The End of the BRICs

Welcome to the big danceFight for Hockey’s Holy Grail begins Wednesday

Dave C ampbellAssociated Press

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 fi-nals 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 Pen-guins 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 25-game playoff run last year, Nash scored three times.

PITTSBURGH’S KEY PLAYER: Marc-Andre Fl-eury. He led the league with 10 shutouts this season, but Fleury has had more shaky playoff performanc-es 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.

RaNgeRS vs PeNgUINS

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 de-fence, 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 fran-chise 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 Hoff-man. Stone finished with 26 goals and 38 assists to lead NHL rookies and finished the season on a nine-game point streak with eight goals and five assists.

GAME 1: Wednesday at Montreal, 7 p.m.PREDICTION: Senators in 7.

CaNaDIeNS vs SeNaTORS

REGULAR SEASON: Capitals went 45-26-11 (101 points) to finish second in Metropolitan Divi-sion. 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 Colise-um on Long Island that will be vacated by the Is-landers 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.

CaPITaLS vs ISLaNDeRS

NHL eaSTeRN CONfeReNCe PLayOff PRevIew:

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 Yzer-man 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 sea-son 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.

The young MasterSpieth claims Masters title; re-writes record book

John WaWroWAssociated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres have fired coach Ted Nolan a day after their season ended with a second consecu-tive last-place finish.

GM Tim Murray an-nounced 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.

C anaDian pressTORONTO - The To-

ronto 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 fin-ished 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.

TORONTO - The Art Ross Trophy race came down to the final min-utes of a game on the last day of the NHL regular season. That’s not the only reason it was a his-toric accomplishment.

Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars picked up two points in the final 125 seconds Saturday night to pass John Tava-res of the New York Is-landers 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 histo-ry (1.06), behind the tro-phy’s first winner, Elmer Lach, in 1947-48 (1.02).

Alexander Ovechkin, scored 53 goals as the runaway Maurice “Rock-et” Richard Trophy win-ner. Steven Stamkos fin-ished second with 43 goals.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Jor-dan 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 cham-pion, 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 re-cord. Instead, he tied the score set by Tiger Woods in 1997 at 18-under 270.

“This was the ulti-mate 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 sec-ond. It was the 10th time Mickelson has been run-ner-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 McIl-roy at the top.

“I thought today might be easier having played with the lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spi-eth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. ... I’m

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 re-cord at 14-under 130; 54-hole record at 16-under 200; most birdies for the tournament at 28; lowest opening round by a champion at 64; young-est 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 in-side him. Spieth went out in 35 to build his lead to five shots, and one putt later, the Masters ef-fectively 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 fin-ished second twice.

Panthers re-sign Jaromir Jagrtim reynolDsAssociated Press

SUNRISE, Fla. - Jar-omir Jagr and the Flori-da Panthers have agreed to a one-year contract on the first day of the team’s off-season.

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 mil-lion, with incentives.

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 main-tain. The hard winter resulted in fre-quent 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 sis-ter, who lives out of state with a well-off husband. She does not agree with my parents’ generous offer and is very crit-ical of me. This makes things uncom-fortable. She will demand that my par-ents make a similar offer to her, which she certainly does not need.

Our parents have helped my sister in the past, including an extravagant wed-ding. 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 sis-ter. 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 of-fer, but do your best to maintain it re-sponsibly 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 dis-cuss it with her and deal with the fall-out.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Baffled in Boston,” the recently wid-owed woman whose longtime dear friends are now advising her on every-thing, despite the widow’s competence.

She first needs to understand that there has been a change in her relation-ship with these friends. They’re not ac-customed 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 danc-ing, 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 com-petent, and that her widowhood has not changed her into anything less.

Chances are that one of these peo-ple will face the same loss someday. If “Baffled” can show them how to con-tinue 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.

PEDROTTI, Joanne Denise1938 – 2015

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
