After decades of driving, ‘Daily News’ reporter Darrell Bellaart gets behind the wheel to find out if he still has what it takes to pass a driving test

Nervousness, perspiration heavy in drivers’ exam DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

knew I’d failed the second I stopped the car on top of the crosswalk. I took the ICBC driver reexamination road test as a personal challenge to the claim seniors driving tests are unfair. I went into the examination brimming with confidence. Forty-five minutes later I was eating humble pie. Now let me point out I am a pretty good driver. My examiner, Steve Wallace of Wallace Driving School, said so himself several times during the testing. But the experience confirmed something Wallace tells anyone facing a driver examination: Road tests are not as much about driving skills as a test of a driver’s observational skills. At 80, B.C, drivers must see a doctor for a medical examination report to determine their fitness to drive. The examination is required every two years after that. If there are concerns, RoadSafety B.C. will either make a decision on the driver’s licence or order a test. I got my Class 5 licence in Calgary in 1977. While my shortterm memory isn’t as good as it

After watching me confidently merge into busy traffic on the Parkway, he gave his assessment: “Watch the gaps in traffic, not the cars,” he told me. That threw me for a loop. I’d been merging into traffic since I age 19, and considered myself an expert. At Woodgrove, I dutifully parked in a pull-through spot, so I could pull away safely later. When I did go, I remembered to do a 360-check. If, like me, you learned to drive in the Pleistocene era, you can be excused for wondering what this is. By now Wallace had given me a crash course: Left, left mirror, ahead, rear-view mirror, right, then right mirror and eyes back on the road. Simple, huh? I had mentally digested this while maneuvering through mid-day highway traffic, and now, I was trying to file this away and make it part of my almost 40 years of driving experience. It was consuming a lot of CPU power in my shrinking, though not-yet senior brain. See ROAD TEST, Page A5

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district has the second-highest costs for administration out of eight similar-sized districts in the province, according to a report tabled by acting secretary treasurer Graham Roberts. Roberts also indicated that Nanaimo-Ladysmith has the second-lowest costs for teachers’ wages out of the districts that are compared in the report. The report was prepared to provide financial information to the school board comparing spending patterns in Nanaimo-Ladysmith to other districts as the board prepares to table a budget for 2015-16 while facing a shortfall of approximately $4 million. About 90 per cent of the district’s annual budget, which was $135 million in 2014-15, goes to wages and benefits. Roberts’s report indicates that overall spending on wages for teachers, excluding substitutes, in Nanaimo-Ladysmith makes up 87.4 per cent of all the wages in the district, while the provincial average is 88.7 per cent. The highest in the survey is Delta at 90.3 per cent, while the lowest is Prince George at 87.2 per cent. The survey also shows that administrative wages total 3.6 per cent of the overall wages in Nanaimo-Ladysmith, while the provincial average is 3.1 per cent. Prince George, at approximately 3.7 per cent, is the highest for administrative wages, while Delta has the lowest administrative wages at 2.4 per cent. The district’s administration has increased in recent years after a major and controversial restructuring process. Board chairman Steve Rae said the board has asked Roberts to provide more information. “Different districts have different cost structures that determine what costs go where,” Rae said. “It’s like a shell game in many cases so we asked staff to drill more into the details and report back.” RBarron@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Turntablist passing on his lessons Nanaimo’s Peter Poole wants to turn converted U-Haul ‘Turntemple’ into pop-up community centre JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
F
rom his first experience in scratching records on his Fisher Price turntable at four years old, Peter Poole has been hooked on the art and culture of DJing. As a “turntablist” — which is the act of physically manipulating records and the mixer as they play to produce a variety of new sounds — Poole is now on a mission to teach the skills to a new generation of aspiring DJs. Though he has worked in his incarnation as DJ All Good at festivals and parties for years, Poole now seeks to combine his skills in music with a background in education and youth work to create an educational experience he feels reaches young people from all walks of life. It was two years ago that Poole created a solar-powered DJ unit he calls The Turntemple and toured it to festivals for a variety of activities from allstar “scratch jams” to public workshops. “I noticed, after a summer of doing it and hosting workshops through Parks and Rec, that setting up and breaking down stuff — that’s the hard part. That takes a long time,” said Poole. “So I bought a 26-foot U-Haul truck last year, and set it up in there, and now it’s mobile.” Gearing up for a full schedule of summer festivals coming up, including everything from Elevate the Arts in Courtenay and hosting workshops Shambhala in the Kootenays, Poole also has his eyes toward developing a local after-school initiative that can utilize his mobile equipment. “I want the Turntemple to be like the pop-up community centre, where I can use my background in youth work, workshop facilitation and DJing to use music to connect to young people in a way that’s meaningful and helps them come of age. This is something that’s really lacking in our culture is these coming of age rituals, ” he said. “Music’s one of those things that is huge to do with our identity. “For teenagers in particular, they may not want to talk about

support for is to create a venue where he can pass on the skills and techniques of turntabling. “There’s an art and a language around it and just like any language, if you don’t practice it, it goes extinct,” he said. People, especially youth, are typically kept out of the DJ booth and a mystery and secrecy has sprung up around it, added Poole. The idea with the Turntemple is to create that accessible place where people can come and touch records and try out the turntables in a supportive environment.
“The general public can even just come in and see up close what is going on when a DJ is up there doing things with a record and twiddling knobs and see what’s going on in the booth,” he said. Educational projects he has done in the past have been well received. Last year, Poole worked in Ladysmith with a theatre program for at-risk youth and has taught DJ skills to inner-city youth at the annual YOUth Got Skills — 5 Elements of Hip Hop Workshop hosted by the Van-
couver Aboriginal Friendship Centre. It was this work that has proven to be most inspirational and fulfilling to date, said Poole. “When I’ve heard people have started DJing because of me, that’s just the best thing ever,” he said with a laugh.

TOUR
Canadian veterans tell their stories in Nanaimo ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
A Canadian veterans event that will see nearly 700 serviceman tell their stories of the battlefield to communities across the country arrived in Nanaimo on Saturday. The Communities for Veterans Foundation’s Ride for Canada has Paul Nichols, who fought in the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, take on a 211-day journey across Canada on horseback which began in Victoria this pas Friday. Each day, Nichols will be joined on the back of the horse by six other servicemen, three per half day, from whichever community he happens to be in. Saturday saw Nichols appear at the Old City Station Pub where he was joined by Nanaimo veteran Mark Smith, as well as The Fox and Hounds in Ladysmith. Nichols, 46, says he wants to

“change the face of veterans across Canada” with many having a more elderly stereotype of those who have served.
Nichols lives in Quesnel these days but used to work on Vancouver Island. “When I moved around smaller
towns in B.C., I noticed there was not much connection to the military in a lot of them,” he said.
“Then I bumped into a girl who lived in Bosnia where there was a lot of trouble at one time and she said her life changed (for the better) after the Canadian troops moved in. “She gave me heartfelt thanks and it was a life-changing moment.” That gave Nichols the motivation for the ride and he says he’s looking forward to meeting and collecting stories from other veterans. Nichols’ wife, Terry, is a horse riding instructor and will be aiding the veterans along the ride. “I’ll be assisting with horsemanship basics,” she said. “This is about making these veterans more visible in their communities.” At the end of last week, the foundation confirmed it had 160 veterans registered for the ride.

Alberta story a good lesson for all of Canada
T
here is a lesson for British Columbia and for the rest of Canada in the sad story that is Alberta. As Albertans prepare to head to the polls next month, a year earlier than they were supposed to, they are still coming to terms with how quickly their wealth disappeared and how fast their economy went down the toilet. Big dollars and good times hid how their lifestyle was built on a lie. The fraud, of course, is oil and the idea that high prices were permanent. When a provincial economy is built on a single natural resource, with prices set internationally, that province does not control its own destiny and is dependent on others for its success. When the price crashes, as it has in the last year, the fair-
weather residents make their way home to other provinces, taking their expertise, their spending and their tax income with them. After oil, Alberta dabbles in agriculture, forestry and tourism. In other words, it’s mostly a onedimensional economy. Meanwhile, in Texas, oil is just one of a number of lucrative industries propelling its powerful economy. Along with traditional sectors, such as agriculture and tourism, Texas is a global player in aeronautics, telecommunications, military equipment and computer technology. Silicon Valley near San Francisco gets all the press but Dell, AMD and, of course, Texas Instruments are all based in the Lone Star State. The Texas economy continues to hum along, just like the many
computers, software programs and microprocessors it produces, despite the drop in world oil prices. In fact, Texas is making matters worse for Alberta. Like Saudi Arabia, Texas is not cutting production. Its oil companies are continuing to send their product to market and apply pressure on high-cost-per barrel operations like the Alberta oil sands. Unlike Alberta, Texas also refines much more of its oil. Texas learned its lesson from the boom-and-bust cycles of oil prices but Alberta has yet to have that lesson sink in. Alberta could have been Texas. Alberta chose not to diversify its economy by plowing the tax proceeds from oil into education, infrastructure, research and development the way Texas did. Instead, it has kept taxes
ridiculously low (Texas hasn’t) and refused to introduce a sales tax (Texas has one, ranging from 6.25 to 8.25 per cent, depending on the county and region). Texas knows consumptive taxes are the most fair form of taxation for residents and the most consistently lucrative form of tax revenue for governments but Alberta still hasn’t figure it out. In other words, Texas invested in its future and is now reaping the rewards while Alberta, both its governments and its residents, spent like there was no tomorrow. Tomorrow has arrived and Alberta is receiving its just desserts. Premier Christy Clark’s LNG dream is already showing signs of being more dream than reality and maybe that’s a good thing. Rather than making B.C. into a
clone of Alberta, with a prosperous economy mostly based on a single natural resource, the slow increase in LNG capacity in B.C. will keep the province pursuing other development opportunities. B.C. should be trying to emulate Texas, not Alberta, meaning that if the LNG gamble pays off for B.C., that will just be a bonus for an otherwise healthy and diverse economic base. To borrow a cowboy phrase, our neighbours to the east with their oil economy appear to be all hat and no cattle. In B.C., we’d be wise to seek better examples to follow.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com MP made courageous decision to leave party Vancouver Island MP James Lunney made a courageous, costly and non-political decision as a Christian to leave the Conservative Party of Canada and sit as an independent in the House so that he could more freely speak out on his Christian beliefs which have been under severe public attack of late. He announced months ago that he would not be running in the coming federal election after serving his Nanaimo-Alberni constituents extremely well for five terms. Mr. Lunney, you see, is a Christian first and a politician second. Had he remained in the Conserative caucus there most certainly would be those who would try and make a wedge issue out of Lunney’s Christian beliefs to link to and denegrade all Conservatives including the Prime Minister. There are those in this country who will vehemently defend a Muslim woman’s right to wear a hijab yet would deny Mr. Lunney’s right under the same Charter to freely speak on matters of faith and conscience. We have lawyers and law societies in Canada who want to stop Christians from practising law and who continue to persecute Trinity Western University and would if they could shut down the Christian university’s planned law school.
There are politicians and academics in Canada antagonistically opposed to Christians running for office and serving in Government. Still fresh in the minds of the citizens of Nanaimo is the attempt by the previous Nanaimo city council to prevent Christians from using the Nanaimo conference centre. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee all Canadians freedom of speech, conscience and religion and the newly created Office of Religious Freedom further enhances these rights. The ever increasing attempts to stifle freedom of religion, conscience and expression in Canada should set the alarm bells off for every Canadian. Gerald Hall Nanoose Bay
‘Slight upward blip’ nothing to crow about Re: ‘Ferries president touts increased traffic levels’ (Daily News, April 11) A slight upward blip in ferry traffic in a generally downward trend is not a turnaround, nor is it anything to crow about. I am also glad I decided to read the rest of the article on page A6, as Mr. Corrigan seems to be under the mistaken notion that BC Fer-
ries is different from Washington ferries in that “BC Ferries . . . is responsible for covering its own costs and capital needs . . .” Seems the annual $180 million in taxpayer funding the corporation receives must have slipped his mind as well as the $30 million the corporation receives from the federal government, and the very real possibility according to the provincial Transportation Minister that these subsidies may increase.

People waste time on meaningless things I am a person who still thinks the Canadian baby seal hunt is wrong. I am sad to hear 400,000 is the number the Canadian fisheries will allow to be clubbed and skinned just for the fur. Many countries such as Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the European union have banned the import and exports of seal furs. The ancient Inuit hunters that wore the skins of mature animals they hunted for food did so with honour as this was how they survived in the natural world. Those who wear the skins of the baby seals of a mass commercial slaughter do so with dishonour. Having respect for nature should not be viewed as a subjective
value of the times because having respect for others creatures stems from the immutable objective value system coded in us. Apart from animal rights groups the general public outcry against the unethical seal hunt has waned because of both apathy and from being disconnected and de-sensitized over the years. Our modern, competitive, materialistic, debt-ridden, social media obsessed and hyper-capitalist society is entrapping humanity in a state of perpetual adolescence because there is little time to consider true values, purity of soul, conservation and universal truths. Whether it be the unethical seal hunt or the thousands of innocent people being killed in too many wars people are becoming too selfabsorbed to care and waste their time with meaningless things like obsessively lobbying to change a name of a parade.

A fire destroyed the interior of a King Arthur’s Court townhouse Saturday morning. Residents of the building
were already evacuated when Nanaimo Fire Rescue firefighters arrived to the unit, which is located 564 Fifth Street. “Our guys did a fire attack, quick knockdown and search
of the interior to make sure everyone was out,” said assistant chief, Greg Norman. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire before it spread to adjacent units. “It was confined to one unit in
the complex and I believe there was some displaced people that were taken care of by (Emergency Social Services Disaster Assistance),” Norman said. “The unit was deemed not
habitable, there was pretty extensive fire damage.” The cause of the fire is under investigation. AHinks@nanaimodailynews.com

WHY NANAIMO? A look at why people make the Harbour city home
FROM THE FRONT
Career opportunity brings Ontario woman to Nanaimo Aaron Hinks Reporting
C
atherine Kleiber packed her belongings and moved to Nanaimo Feb. 1, 2014 to advance her career. What was a one-year contract turned into a lifetime commitment to the Harbour City. What drew you to Nanaimo and when did you arrive? Nanaimo has been my happy accident. I’ve always wanted to travel the world, but didn’t have any plans to move across Canada. A career opportunity brought me here on a one-year contract, and I had intended on moving back to Ontario after the contract. I knew that the cost of living in Nanaimo was comparable to London, Ont., so financially I felt I could do this to enhance my career. I had just celebrated my 29th birthday on Jan. 31, 2014 and was on a plane to Nanaimo the very next day. It didn’t take long until I didn’t miss the Ontario weather, and met the love of my life. What challenges have you faced? It was definitely an adjustment moving to a small town and meeting new people. I had to really put myself out there and be more social than I felt comfortable with at times. It has really helped me grow as a person and become more confident. It takes time to build lasting relationships, but I feel I’m getting there. How are you integrating into the community and what do you
A new career opportunity brought Catherine Kleiber to Nanaimo. [SUBMITTED]
bring to Nanaimo? I have made Nanaimo my new home and plan to plant my roots here. I have found people really friendly and they have no problem lending a helping hand. Part of my role as a Mobile Mortgage Specialist is to network and meet new people. I recently joined the Chambers of Commerce and have enjoyed their social events and community involvement. I plan to continue volunteering with Junior Achievement making an impact with students about financial literacy. This Christmas I bought a family having hard times a turkey and I donate fresh food often to those seeking out help. I hope my passion of helping people inspires those around me to do what they can. What is the most underrated thing in/about Nanaimo, from your point of view? All the beautiful nature around us! I love the views from my
house to the water. There are so many trails with such beautiful sights to see. There is even a hidden waterfall in the middle of town. I really hope to take advantage of all the outdoor activities this year. If you could make one change to Nanaimo, what would it be?
Retesting drivers not such a bad idea ROAD TEST, From Page A1 Pulling away, I concentrated hard on the all-important check. “You didn’t signal,” came the voice from the back seat. Daily News photographer Aaron Hinks was there to record the ordeal. The test hadn’t officially started and already my stress level was rising. We headed to the ICBC test centre, where Wallace had me do a three-point turn to back into the stall and start the test. While backing in I made my first huge error. With my left hand on the wheel and my eyes behind me, I forgot my 360. “It’s a testable situation where you’re already stressed,” Wallace said afterward. “The worst you’ll ever drive is when you’re stressed.” Later, some residential driving in Parkwood involved me stopping at a T-intersection. By now I knew to shoulder check right, when rounding a corner on a right-hand turn. This wasn’t taught when I learned to drive. Now it’s a test requirement, in case a cyclist blows past, between your vehicle and the curb. The idea was completely new to me, and it was all I was thinking hard about when I came to a stop past the stop line. “You blew it,” came the voice in the back seat.
I knew Hinks was right. Later, he said he found the exam stressful, just as an observer in the back seat. I made a number of other errors, some small — in my mind — and others more serious. A new driver fails the test after three minor errors, or any error so serious it terrifies the instructor. A senior being retested gets five points against him for every error, and is failed if they reach 60 points. Either way you count it, I’d failed, despite my confidence at the start. “You’re well above an average driver,” Wallace said. “My point is unless you prepare for this, there’s a very strong likelihood you’re going to fail the test.” For him, it illustrates how mandatory testing at age 80 is arbitrary and discriminatory. He said given the changing requirements put upon drivers, and since drivers can naturally develop bad habits, a better system would be to re-test people periodically — say, every 15 years from age 30 or 35 onward. It’s given me a new respect for any senior able to successfully make it through an age-required retest. DBellaart@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Hillary Clinton announces she will run for president
Turkey recalls Vatican City ambassador NICOLE WINFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wife of former president will seek democratic nomination for 2016 election KEN THOMAS AND LISA LERER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped back into presidential politics on Sunday, as a top adviser announced her much-awaited second campaign for the White House. John Podesta, a top adviser to Clinton, told alumni of her first presidential campaign in an email: “It’s official: Hillary’s running for president.” If elected, Clinton would become the first woman to serve in the Oval Office. Clinton enters the race in a strong position to succeed her rival from the 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama. Her message will focus on strengthening economic security for the middle class and expanding opportunities for working families. The campaign is portraying her as a “tenacious fighter” who can get results and work with Congress, business and world leaders. Clinton’s strategy, described ahead of the announcement by two senior advisers who requested anonymity to discuss her plans, has parallels to the approach Obama took in 2012. He framed his re-election as a choice between Democrats focused on the middle class and Republicans who sought to protect the wealthy and return to policies that led the country into recession. Clinton will face pressure from the progressive wing of her

Police arrest man who threatened Parliament
Police in southwestern Ontario say they’ve arrested a man who allegedly threatened to blow up the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa Chatham-Kent police say they were contacted by the RCMP on Friday to follow up on an alleged threat made by a man in Chatham, Ont. They say the man allegedly made a phone call to the Library of Parliament and said he wanted to blow up Parliament as part of a “revolution” against Parliament Hill. Police say they arrested a 49year-old man without incident on Friday afternoon. The man is currently in custody and is facing one count of hoax — terrorist activity, and one count of uttering threats. Police say the matter is still under investigation.
◆ IRAN
Detained reporter accused of espionage
A Washington Post journalist detained in Iran for over eight months is accused of “espionage” and “acting against national security,” the semiofficial Fars news agency reported Sunday. The report did not elaborate on the source of the information, but the agency is regarded as close to Iran’s hard-liners. Iranian officials have said Jason Rezaian is facing “security” charges and that he will stand trial in the Revolutionary Court, which mainly hears cases involving security offences. Rezaian, along with his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, and two photojournalists were detained on July 22 in Tehran. All were later released except Rezaian, who is a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen. Iran does not recognize dual nationality. The Post, U.S. officials and Rezaian’s mother have called for his release. They could not immediately be reached for comment. The Fars report alleged that Rezaian had obtained economic and industrial information from Iran and sold it to unnamed Americans.

party to adopt a more populist economic message focused on income inequality. Some liberals remain skeptical of Clinton’s close ties to Wall Street donors and the centrist economic policies of her husband’s administration. They have urged her to back tougher financial regulations and tax increases on the wealthy. “It would do her well electorally to be firmly on the side of average working people who are working harder than ever and still not getting ahead,” said economist Robert Reich, a for-
mer labour secretary during the Clinton administration who has known Hillary Clinton for nearly five decades. The GOP did not wait for her announcement to begin their campaign against her. The party’s chairman, Reince Priebus, has outlined plans for a broad effort to try to undermine her record as secretary of state while arguing that her election would be like giving Obama a “third term.” Republicans have jumped on Clinton’s use of a personal email account and server while she
was secretary of state, as well as her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in his own online video, said Sunday: “We must do better than the Obama-Clinton foreign policy that has damaged relationships with our allies and emboldened our enemies.” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who launched his presidential campaign last week, also pointed to the Clinton family’s foundation, which has drawn criticism from Republicans for raising money from foreign governments.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Sunday marked the 100th anniversary of the slaughter of Armenians by calling the massacre by Ottoman Turks “the first genocide of the 20th century” and urging the international community to recognize it as such. Turkey immediately responded by recalling its ambassador and accusing Francis of spreading hatred and “unfounded claims.” Francis issued the pronouncement during a Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica commemorating the centenary that was attended by Armenian church leaders and President Serge Sarkisian, who praised the pope for calling a spade a spade and “delivering a powerful message to the international community.” “The words of the leader of a church with 1 billion followers cannot but have a strong impact,” he told The Associated Press. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. Turkey, however, denies a genocide took place. It has insisted that the toll has been inflated and that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest. Francis defended his words by saying it was his duty to honour the memory of the innocent men, women and children who were “senselessly” murdered by Ottoman Turks. “Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it,” he said, noting similar massacres are under way today against Christians who because of their faith are “publicly and ruthlessly put to death.”
OIL
Vancouver spill cleanup ongoing
YOU AND THE LAW WHY A SURVEY OR EASEMENT?
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Efforts were progressing Sunday to remove the remaining globs of oil that spilled into Vancouver’s English Bay last week as the Coast Guard continued to answer criticism of how it responded to the situation. It appeared the south shore of the bay was largely free of oil that leaked from a cargo ship, but some small amounts were detected. Efforts were continuing to clean up oil that washed ashore in other parts of the shoreline, Asst. Commissioner Roger Girouard told a news conference on Sunday. The oily sheen that can be seen in the waters of English Bay amounts to about half a litre out of the 2,700 litres that leaked from the MV Marathassa, Girouard said. “We’ve captured the lion’s share, I cannot say that we captured it all, we never get it all,” said Girouard, who added it was still not known if any oil sank to the sea bed, but it was considered unlikely. Fewer birds have been exposed to oily water than originally thought — about a dozen birds are being cared for but all seem to be in good shape, Girouard said. “I’m told they are lively and doing fine.” Scientists were also looking to assess any longer term effects, gathering data in preparation for water tests.

If you have a difficult next-door neighbour, you might decide to just go ahead and do what you want on your property regardless. But if it isn’t clear that you own that land, you could end up in a fight. Taking some basic steps up front instead could save you a lot of hassle and expense later on. Consider this recent court case. The Jones and the Lings (not their real names) owned one-acre properties next to each other. A number of boulders were placed along or near the boundary between them. These boulders were big and difficult for either neighbour to move without going over on the other side. The Lings’ house sat well back from the property line, while the Jones’ house was built close to it. A year after they moved in, the Jones started to improve a pathway between the two lots, thinking it was on their land. The Lings told them it wasn’t and so the Jones’ stopped that work. But the following year, without knowing where the property boundary was and without a survey, the Jones built a patio next to their house which went to the edge of the boulder line and also placed some artificial rocks on the boulders. It turned out these improvements encroached (i.e. were located) on the Lings’ land, going almost 2 metres onto the Lings’ property. The Jones asked the B.C. Supreme Court for an “easement” (right to use another person’s land) or transfer of this area to themselves, in return for paying the Lings some compensation. The Lings asked the court for removal of the improvements instead. By this point, relations between the neighbours had gotten very bad. The bit of land in question wasn’t really accessible or usable by the Lings, being on the other side of the boulders from them. The encroaching Jones’ deck and improvements were well behind and away from the Lings’ house and didn’t obviously intrude on their living space (except psychologically). But the way the Jones had just barged ahead without honestly believing they were building on their own land or getting a survey was inexcusable, said the court. To resolve this messy situation, the Jones had to pay the Lings $22,000 for the Jones’ increased property value (and some loss of value of the Lings’ property). But to reflect the court’s disapproval of their high-handed actions, the Jones also had to pay special costs to the Lings (and their out-of-pocket and survey costs) – an expensive proposition. If the Jones didn’t pay within 90 days, they would have to remove the improvements and restore the land to its original condition. It’s clear the court intended to discourage others from acting like the Jones did here and send a message that doing so wouldn’t be profitable. Had the Jones obtained a survey early on, they might have been able to negotiate an easement or similar agreement for the patio extension, while remaining on good terms with the neighbours, or pursue other options. Chances are the costs (financial and emotional) would have been a lot less. This column has been written by Janice and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with assistance from FABRIS McIVER HORNQUIST & RADCLIFFE.

Clippers come home with 2-0 lead Brett Roulston scores early overtime winner to erase Penticton’s home ice advantage in league final Fred Page Cup
SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
T
hanks to a Brett Roulston goal 20 seconds into overtime Saturday night, the Nanaimo Clippers will return home for Game 3 of the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup finals tonight up two games to none over the topranked Penticton Vees. “It was two tough battles, and we got off to a good start,” said Clippers head coach Mike Vandekamp, “but that’s all it is — a start. “We’ve got to keep it going.” The Clippers went into Game 2 in Penticton Saturday after a 5-2 Game 1 victory the night earlier that saw them score four goals in less than 11 minutes in the second period. On Saturday night, they faced a desperate Vees group that had four first-period powerplays and outshot them 20-6 to start the game. Vees captain Cody DePourcq did score on one of those powerplays, but Sheldon Rempal netted his fourth goal in four games, with assists from Corey Renwick and Nic Gushue, to tie the game before the first intermission. “I think we played a lot better in the second and third periods,” Vandekamp said. The Clippers evened up the shots in the latter two periods, however no one was able to score until Roulston buried the winner early in overtime to give his team a 2-1 win and a 2-0 series lead. “It was looking like it was going to be one of those long nights but

for it to end like that was huge,” Vandekamp said. “We ended up getting a timely goal from Brett early in overtime, so it was just a hard fought battle.” The Clippers had previously gone into Penticton twice in 2014-15, once in the regular season and once in the playoffs’ Round 3 double-round-robin. Both times they left with multigoal losses. But with both teams healthy and rested after more than a week off, the Clippers changed
the course of a playoff season that has rarely seen an upset — this series is a tilt between the first and second place teams from the regular season. “We’ve been preparing for this moment all season,” Vandekamp said. “We played as hard as we could. These games are going to be close and tight and this one was as close as they come, going to overtime (Saturday) night, but it was just a good battle. We stayed the course well.” The Clippers, though, will need to continue to stay the course,
because this best-of-seven series is only two games deep. In the first two rounds of the playoffs the Clippers had 2-0 leads, albeit from home games, but still needed seven games to finish their opponents off. “We’ve got to continue to get better from one game to the next and keep improving,” Vandekamp said. “We know the importance of the odd-numbered games here. “Every game just gets bigger and bigger at this time of year, so we have to keep improving, con-
tinue to believe in ourselves, and just keep battling.” Game 3 of the Fred Page Cup final is set for tonight at Frank Crane Arena with the opening faceoff coming at 7 p.m. Game 4 will go on Tuesday in Nanaimo, and if necessary Game 5 will be played in Penticton on Thursday night. The winner of the series moves on to the Western Canadian Cup to face the champions of the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba Junior A Leagues, with two spots in the RBC Cup national championship tournament on the line. The WCC begins on April 25 in Fort McMurray. SMcKenzie@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
PREMIER BASEBALL LEAGUE
Pirates break even in first weekend of PBL SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
A confident Nanaimo Pirates club was humbled in a big way in its first game of the B.C. Premier Baseball League season, but managed to pull out a 2-2 record after two road double-headers against the Victoria Eagles and Langley Blaze Saturday and Sunday. “It was ball in the spring, absolutely,” said Pirates head coach Doug Rogers of a weekend that saw his team twice bounce back from losses to win. “It was, which team would want to give it away to the other team. It was interesting but it was a lot of fun to play in.” After taking a 3-0 lead in the top half of the first inning Saturday in Victoria, the Pirates were blown up by the Eagles in a 20-8 loss. Both Cole Warken and Zach Diewert had three RBI in the loss, while Garrett Goodall and North Rainey had one each. Sam Baker took the loss on the mound after giving up 12 runs in the first three innings, and reliever William Drewry pitched 1.1 innings, giving up eight runs before the Pirates conceded the game. “We definitely laid an egg on that one,” Rogers said. “The talk going in was that we had a pretty strong team and I think the guys

took that a little too seriously and thought that they could just throw their gloves on the field and expect to win, and the game doesn’t work that way.” The Pirates were able to settle down in the second game, how-
ever, as ace pitcher Goodall took the mount to pitch a completegame, two-run victory as the Pirates beat Victoria 7-2. “I was wanting to save him for Langley (Sunday),” Rogers said of Goodall, “but because we
lost so poorly I wanted to have a bounce-back game that game, and he provided it.” Diewert again led the Nanaimo offence with three RBI off two hits. Warken, Rainey and leadoff hitter Shane Rogers each had a single RBI in the game. The Pirates won 7-2 to move to 1-1 on the season. The Pirates, though, dropped to 1-2 the following day in the Lower Mainland against the Blaze, perennial contenders in the PBL. The Pirates put up a good fight against the Blaze in Game 1 of the double-header, but gave up two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to fall 9-8. They had previously led 8-7 after a threerun fifth inning. “I was hoping we would get Game 3, but we fought pretty hard in the last two games of each day, so that was good to see,” Rogers said. Rainey, in his first pitching appearance of the season, took the loss in 0.2 innings of work after taking over for Bryce Stromquist in the sixth inning. Josh Carless-Jones took Rainey’s No. 2 spot in the batting order and had two hits in his first appearance in the starting lineup, with one RBI. Aaron Page led the Pirates’ offence with two RBI in the loss. Again, the Pirates bounced
back later in the day, this time beating the Blaze 7-3. Diewert had a monster game in the win, finishing with five RBI with a two-run single in the first inning and a three-run homer in the third. Warken and Rainey both had two-hit games, and Robert Bush pitched seven innings with five strikeouts for the win. Page came into the game to relieve Bush, and did the job perfectly, Rogers said. “He was awesome,” Rogers said. “It was great to see a Grade 12, non-pitcher over the last three years, come in and do that kind of job for us.” Diewert finished the weekend leading the PBL in home runs, with two, and in RBI, with 11. Rainey’s .667 batting average after the first weekend was also second best in the league. “We’re swinging the bat,” Rogers said, noting he predicted his club would pick up a split. “We’re averaging eight or nine runs a game, and that should win the majority of the time.” The Pirates play their next seven games, and nine of their next 11, in the friendly confines of Nanaimo’s Serauxmen Stadium. It starts Sunday with a doubleheader against the Abbotsford Cardinals at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. SMcKenzie@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Jaromir Jagr got the Florida Panthers’ off-season off to a flying start. And even after they missed the playoffs for the 13th time in 14 years, it’s easy to see why the Panthers are so optimistic about their future. Jagr signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract Sunday to stay with Florida, saying he felt revitalized in his 20 games after the trade to the Panthers in February. Keeping the future Hall of Famer was a top priority for the club.
Jimmie Johnson was still chasing Jamie McMurray and Kevin Harvick, trying to get back in front as the laps wound down at Texas Motor Speedway. Then Johnson got the break that led to his fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at the track. “They slid up high through (Turns) 3 and 4 and left the bottom wide open for me,” Johnson said. “I thought I’d at least get (Harvick). When I came off of Turn 4, I was alongside (McMurray).”
Olympic champion Brad Jacobs captured the Players’ Championship Grand Slam of Curling event on Sunday with a 4-3 comeback victory over previously undefeated Mike McEwen. Jacobs trailed 3-1 after four ends but grabbed a deuce in the fifth and then scored a single in the eighth to complete the come-from-behind win. McEwen was the only player to go undefeated leading up to the championship at 5-0.

VIBI Mariners move into third place DAILY NEWS
Finally playing at home, the Vancouver Island Baseball Academy Mariners had a chance this weekend to leapfrog the Okanagan Coyotes and step into third place in the Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference standings. And with a 3-1 record in the two-day, four-game set against the Coyotes, the Mariners did just that. After a 2-6 start to the season, the Mariners now sport an 8-8 record and sit two games back of the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs, and 3.5 games behind the first place Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. Each game was tightly contested this weekend at Serauxmen Stadium. The Mariners opened with a 3-2 win over the Coyotes, with start-
ing pitcher Tyler Ulrich chucking six strikeouts in 5.2 innings. He gave up just one run and four hits in his time on the mound before being relieved by Zach Horman, Austin Gurr and Kris Phillips, who picked up the win. Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Bryan O’Hara hit an RBI single that scored Gobin Sall for the winning run. The Mariners continued to quiet the Okanagan bats in the second game on Saturday, winning 3-1. The Mariners scored single runs in the first, second and third innings while shutting out every inning but the first. Sall, Connor Merilees and Tyler Armstrong each had a single RBI in the game, while Nanaimo’s Kenton Schroter pitched the complete-game win. Schroter allowed just four hits in the seven-inning game, strike
out seven of the 27 batters he faced in that game. The Mariners kept their winning streak alive against the Coyotes on Sunday, picking up a 2-1 victory in another low-scoring game. Mariners pitcher Austin Penner, in his fourth appearance of the season, picked up the win pitching the full seven innings. He gave up only two hits, striking out three for his second win of the season. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning with Sall on first base, Merilees jacked his second home run of the season, a tworun shot, that held up to be the winning runs of the game. Both teams bats gained some life in the fourth game of the weekend on Sunday afternoon, as the Coyotes thwarted the Mariners’ attempt at a sweep, beating them 5-4.
Andrew Evernden got the start for VIBI on the mound, pitching five innings and giving up three runs. The Mariners led 1-0 after the second inning and 4-0 after a three-run fourth, with O’Hara, Tyson Dyck and Adrian Gutierrez each picking up an RBI. The Coyotes, though, tied the score by the seventh inning and picked up the winning run in the top of the ninth. Mariners’ pitcher Riley Moskaluk took the loss in the final game of the weekend, pitching the final two innings. The Mariners now have 12 games left in the CCBC season, starting with four this weekend — two against the Coyotes and two against the Calgary Dinos in the Okanagan.

Spieth dominates at the Masters Twenty-one-year-old ties record with a 70 on Sunday to take the green jacket with a final score of 270 DOUG FERGUSON THE 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 to him 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. For all the talk about the Grand Slam bid by Rory McIlroy and the return of Woods, this week was about the arrival of another star. “It’s awfully impressive,” McIlroy said after finishing fourth. “It’s nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It’s great to see, great for the game, and I’m sure there will be many more.” Spieth became the first wire-towire 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. Neither got closer than three shots at any point, and it wasn’t long before Spieth was making another birdie putt to take the

drama out of the back nine. 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 the PGA 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. When McIlroy won back-to-back
majors last year to establish himself as the game’s best player, the quest was to find a rival. Spieth provided the answer on perhaps the biggest stage in the sport with his record-setting week at Augusta. “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 still kind of shock a little bit.” And he will keep the editors of
the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week: — The 36-hole record at 14under 130. — The 54-hole record at 16under 200. — The most birdies for the tournament at 28. — The lowest opening round by a champion at 64. — The youngest player to lead after the opening round. “He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said. “He doesn’t
overpower the golf course, but he plays the course strategically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on. “That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said. “Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.” 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. Spieth rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 10 for a six-shot lead. It was his 26th birdie of the Masters, breaking the tournament record that Mickelson set in 2001. Spieth managed this in only 64 holes. The next target was the 72-hole scoring record that Woods set in 1997 and he almost got there except for that bogey at the end. He twice went for the green on par 5s on the back nine, barely clearing the creek at No. 13 and going just over the back on No. 15, both times making birdie. The birdie on the 15th made him the only player in Masters history to reach 19-under par. 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.

Tiger Woods had bone pop out, but he played through it THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tiger Woods stirred up quite a frenzy on social media when talking about an injury to his right hand during the final round of the Masters.
After an errant drive at the ninth hole, Woods struck a hidden tree root while hitting his second shot off the pine straw. Woods screamed in pain and let the club fly out of his hand. He shook his hand walking toward
the green but managed to salvage par on the way to a closing 1-over 73. Afterward, when asked about the injury on CBS, Woods said “the bone popped out.” That amateur diagnosis led to
plenty of derisive responses on Twitter. The apparently gruesome injury notwithstanding, Woods said he was proud of the way he played at Augusta National, finishing with a 5under 283 in his first tournament
since he walked off the course at Torrey Pines in early February, his body hurting and his game a mess. Woods said he’ll take some time off before playing in his next PGA Tour event.

Cruz homers in 10th inning in Mariner win JANIE MCCAULEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Rickie Weeks stayed ready on the bench and Nelson Cruz kept his power stroke going. The Seattle Mariners left Oakland with a pair of extra-inning wins and showed off some nice pop from their slugging newcomers in the process. On a rare off day by ace Felix Hernandez against the Athletics nonetheless. On a day they were no-hit through five. Cruz connected for the second straight game, hitting a tiebreaking solo drive in the 10th inning, and Weeks had an earlier pinch-hit, three-run homer that helped send Seattle past the A’s 8-7 on Sunday. “On several different accounts today we probably should have lost that game,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “It’s the type of game where it’s easy to lay down and say, ’OK, we’ll get them tomorrow.”’ Hernandez left after five innings as a precaution because of tightness in his right quadriceps that made it tough to push off and generate momentum from his legs. He felt that in the third inning after tweaking his left ankle in the first. He said he “100 per cent” will make his next start and has no concerns. “No I’m not, not at all,” he said. “I believe in these guys. This offence is pretty good. I know it’s going to click. It’s a different look. We’re a different team. We can score different ways. We can score with a homer, we can score with speed. We look pretty good.” Seattle took a 7-3 lead into the ninth before Oakland rallied to tie it against closer Fernando Rodney. Cruz connected off new A’s closer Tyler Clippard (0-1) for his second homer this season. Cruz led the majors with 40 home runs last year for Baltimore, then signed with the Mariners. “That’s what we’re here for, to pick up one another.”

Declarer drew trump ending in dummy to follow with the ace of diamonds, N-S +2210. South’s sequence promised six diamonds and five spades since he would have bid three clubs as Checkback Stayman in search of a 4-4 spade fit. North assumed command by launching into Blackwood with spades agreed by inference. When partner promised the king of spades, he continued with 5NT in search of the king of diamonds. Only the king of diamonds was relevant because South was known to be 6-5 in the pointed suits. South’s reply of six diamonds revealed the king in his longest suit and North advanced to the major suit grand slam reasoning that there would not be a diamond loser when South lacked the queen. South’s possession of a seventh diamond virtually guaranteed success. Declarer’s play of the ace of diamonds was correct because East could not be void. He would certainly have issued a Lightner double of the slam asking for an unusual lead when holding a diamond void. In this scenario, West would have no difficulty selecting a diamond from queen third as an opening shot. However, this action might convince North to escape to 7NT. He would emerge with thirteen tricks by playing a low diamond to the ten reasoning that East must be void.

Victoria’s Jamie Benn wraps up Art Ross as NHL scoring champ Former Vancouver Island junior star finishes season with 35 goals, 52 assists
NONIS
STEPHEN WHYNO THE 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. And 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). Tavares said last month that officials letting a lot of penalties go may be the root of the lowest point total for a scoring champion in half a century. “I’ve noticed since the all-star break with how tight the standings are, how big games are, how important points are, I think a lot more is being let go and letting players decide the game,” said Tavares, who finished with 86 points. “That’s fine. I think you just want the consistency there. For me, that obviously takes away some power-play opportunities.” One player who didn’t let power-play opportunities go to waste was Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, who scored 25 of them on the way to 53 overall as the runaway Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy winner. Ovechkin finished 10 goals ahead of Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos. Ovechkin’s was the 19th 50-goal

season since the 2004-05 lockout. Six of those are his. As dominant as Ovechkin was in the goal-scoring department, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price was in almost every category. Price led the NHL in goals-against average (1.96), save percentage (.933) and victories (44) and finished second to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ MarcAndre Fleury in shutouts (10 to nine). “To see him take this next step in his career and his game, it’s something this team needs to reach the next level,” Canadiens teammate P.K. Subban said of Price. “He’s done that consist-
ently for us all year.” Because the Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks tied for an NHL-best 189 goals allowed, Price shared the William M. Jennings Trophy with Corey Crawford. Not counting shootout losses, which are part of the league determining the award, the Canadiens allowed 184 to Chicago’s 186. Other than Price being front-runner for the Hart Trophy as league MVP, there’s no clear picture about the other awards that are voted on and will be presented in June in Las Vegas. Before those trophies are handed out, 16 teams are left with
a shot at the Stanley Cup. The two all-Canadian series — the Canadiens against the Ottawa Senators, and the Vancouver Canucks against the Calgary Flames — start Wednesday. Also Wednesday the Washington Capitals open up against the New York Islanders, and the Nashville Predators face the Chicago Blackhawks. The Winnipeg Jets visit the Anaheim Ducks for Game 1 Thursday, the night that also includes the opener for the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild.

NEW YORK — The NHL will hold the Connor McDavid draft lottery Saturday night at 8 p.m. The winner of the most anticipated lottery since 2005 will be revealed before Game 2 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. Thanks to changes to the odds, the league’s last-place team, the Buffalo Sabres, have just a 20 per cent chance of picking first overall and getting the chance to
draft McDavid, a superstar in the Ontario Hockey League with the Erie Otters. In 47 games this season, McDavid scored 44 goals and added 76 assists for 120 points. Buffalo is guaranteed one of the first two picks, which means it will have McDavid or American star Jack Eichel. The Arizona Coyotes have a 13.5 per cent chance, Edmonton Oilers 11.5 per cent and Toronto Maple Leafs 9.5 per cent chance. Any of the 14 teams that didn’t
make the playoffs can win the lottery, which is determined by a series of balls that make up a four-digit number. The four-digit number combinations — 200 to the Sabres, 135 to the Coyotes and so on — will be posted on the league’s website Friday, and video of the drawing will be available after it is conducted. Beginning next season, the first three draft picks will be subject to the lottery, with the same odds as this year.
TORONTO — Changes were inevitable for the Toronto Maple Leafs after their worst season in almost 20 years. President Brendan Shanahan didn’t waste any time making them. The Leafs fired general manager Dave Nonis and interim coach Peter Horachek and his entire staff Sunday, beginning a tumultuous off-season that could bring wholesale roster changes, as well. Nonis was fired with three years left on his contract after the Leafs went 30-44-8 to finish with 68 points, the fewest in an 82-game season since 1996-97. Shanahan and players are set to address the media Monday afternoon at Air Canada Centre. Toronto was in a playoff position in early January when Nonis announced the firing of coach Randy Carlyle and subsequently replaced him with Horachek. At the time, Nonis blamed inconsistency for the firing and said he is “never worried about” his own job security. “You make your decisions on what’s best for the team and that’s not going to change,” Nonis said Jan. 6. “We’re going to do the things that we need to do as a group in order to move this team forward.” From that day until the season ended Saturday night, the Leafs went 9-28-5 to finish 27th in the NHL. The only silver lining to that is a 9.5 per cent chance of winning the Connor McDavid draft lottery to jump-start the rebuilding effort. Horachek’s dismissal was expected. This is the second straight season he took over as interim coach (2013-14 with Florida Panthers) and was let go. “You want to see more success, obviously,” Horachek said after the Leafs’ season-ending 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. “If you don’t get it, you have to keep trying in different directions.”

‘Furious 7’ keeps speed, tops the box office again JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The high-octane thriller Furious 7 maintained speed in its second week, racing away with $60.6 million at North American theatres and bringing its box-office total to a robust $252.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Universal’s Furious 7 more than lapped the competition. The only new wide release of the weekend, the rodeo romance The Longest Ride, opened with $13.5 million. That was good enough for third place for the Fox release, which stars Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott Eastwood. In second was the DreamWorks animated alien adventure Home, which pulled in $19 million in its third week of release. But Furious 7 continued to dominate the marketplace, dropping only 59 per cent from its remarkable $147.2 million debut
last weekend. Globally, it has already crossed $800 million in its first two weeks of release, according to Universal. The weekend international total — an eye-popping $195 million — was boosted by the film premiering in China on Sunday, where it earned an estimated $68.6 million in just one day. Over 10 days, Furious 7, which prominently features a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker, has already out-grossed all previous installments of the 14-year-old franchise. At its current pace, Furious 7 will likely become the highest grossing film in Universal’s history. The studio’s Jurassic Park, from 1993, holds Universal’s mark with $1.02 billion worldwide. It’s a summer blockbuster-sized result for Furious 7, but by opening in April, it has little competition in its way. On a much smaller scale, the
critically acclaimed sci-fi film Ex Machina drew the year’s largest theatre average of $62,489 in four theatres. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. Furious 7, $60.6 million ($195 million international). 2. Home, $19 million ($15.2 million international). 3. The Longest Ride, $13.5 million. 4. Get Hard, $8.6 million. 5. Cinderella, $7.2 million. 6. The Divergent Series: Insurgent, $6.9 million. 7. Woman in Gold, $5.9 million. 8. It Follows, $2 million. 9. Danny Collins, $1.6 million. 10. While We’re Young, $1.4 million.

Rapper, reality star Nelly arrested on drug charges THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE — An attorney for Nelly says the rapper and reality TV star will be exonerated of felony drug charges once the facts are out. Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was arrested Saturday after a bus he was travelling in was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. According to their statement, troopers found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Troopers also say they found numerous handguns. The St. Louis native is facing charges including felony possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. But attor-

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 fam-
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.
