Maria Giulia Giuriato 1935 - 2016
After a long, courageous battle with cancer, and with her daughters by her side, Maria Giulia Giuriato was peacefully reunited with her beloved husband Cirillo, and her deeply-missed oldest daughter Eda on January 18, 2016, at the age of 80 years old. Predeceased by her soul-mate Cirillo only just 18 months ago, we take comfort in knowing that they are together again.
Maria was born on June 20, 1935 in San Leonardo, Ortona, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1954, where she met the love of her life Cirillo. Together they eventually settled and built a life in Cranbrook, BC where they raised their 3 beautiful daughters Eda, Silvana and Dina.
While Maria was proud to be Italian, she was extremely proud to be Canadian and worked very hard to adapt to the Canadian way of life. She is still remembered by many at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital as a tireless worker whose dedication to her final position in Housekeeping was always exemplary. In fact, it was only a few years ago when her name was mentioned at a doctors retirement banquet that the crowd shouted Maria! Everyone recognized that she was an amazing cook and loved to entertain friends and family, whether it was in her kitchen or around the campfire at Moyie. Maria was very close to her four siblings in Calgary and was always grateful for how close they all were in spite of the miles that separated them. She loved dancing, listening to ABBA, watching old movies, and of course gardening; but the true love of her life were her grandchildren. No one coloured Easter Eggs like Nonna. A loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend she will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.
Maria leaves behind her daughters, Silvana (Jon) Dick; and Dina Detta; grandchildren, Candice, Kyle (Emily), Morgan, Austin, Jason, Eric (Krystal), Ashley, Darian and Danika. Maria also leaves behind her four siblings Domenico (Ellen) Rossi, Ada (Armando) Angelozzi, Terry (Heather) Rossi, and Giselda (Reg) Gerlitz.; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends in various corners of British Columbia, Calgary, Canada and Italy. She was predeceased by her husband Cirillo in 2014; her beautiful daughter Eda in 1978 and her parents Antonio (2004) and Luisa (2007) Rossi.
Marias funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Marys Catholic Church (39 10th Avenue South) on Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Her Interment will follow in Westlawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes in Marias honour may be made directly the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society, 20 - 23rd Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 5V1, by phone at: 250-417-2019 or by e-mail at: www.ckhospice.com.
A note of appreciation to Dr. Sara Chesney; as well as the wonderful nursing staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. And a very special thank you to family and friends for all their kindness and generosity while assisting Maria through her illness.
Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.
The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable
operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of
British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation
switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned
or leased for future facilities.
The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.
Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual
brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural
(gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious
and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods.
The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include:
acetic acid Ecoclear, Mungers Hort Vinegar or equivalent,
aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron Truvist or equivalent

Canadians disap-pointed at losing out on last weeks US$1.6 billion Powerball jackpot may want to play closer to home, where a number of lotteries not only have better odds but also bet-ter value.
Anyone with a ticket for the record-high prize last week had merely a one in more than 292 million chance to win.
To put that in per-spective, someone who purchases 50 tickets weekly would win the jackpot, on average, once every 112,000 years, said Mike Orkin, a former statistics profes-sor and author of What Are The Odds?
But odds are only one way to determine wheth-er to play. The size of the jackpot and the cost of the ticket help deter-mine whats known as the expected percentage return of a lottery.
Thats the best way to look at how good a lottery is, said Shannon Ezzat, a mathematics professor at St. Francis Xavier University in An-tigonish, N.S.
For the Powerball, like many other U.S.-gov-ernment run lotteries, people who play over long periods of time can generally expect to make 50 cents on every dollar spent, said Orkin.
In other words, youll lose 50 per cent of your investment.
Similar Canadian lot-teries can offer a slightly better return, partially because winnings arent taxed. In the U.S., win-nings can be taxed up to 50 per cent.
That really reduces your expected values, Ezzat said, which are likely lower than 50 per cent for the Powerball after factoring in taxes.
Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49, on the other hand, generally hover between 40 and 60 per cent, Ezzat said.
But the risk of multi-ple winners, which in-creases as more tickets are sold, can lower those numbers.
For example, a single Lotto 6/49 ticket stands a one in nearly 14 million chance of winning. But if 28 million tickets are sold, said Ezzat, its more likely there will be two winners splitting the jackpot, which lowers the expected percentage value of each ticket.
Charity fundraisers,
meantime, sell more ex-pensive tickets but boast better odds. Among the dozens of charity lotter-ies, the Heart & Stroke Foundations lottery claims that roughly one in two tickets wins a prize.
But these lotteries generally dont provide better expected values than provincial games of chance, Ezzat said, be-cause tickets for these types of lotteries are gen-erally expensive $100 or more and the prize values vary. The Heart & Stroke Foundations prizes include $1 mil-lion, luxury cars or sim-ply $25, $50 or $100 cash.
Rather than buying one ticket, Ezzat said some bulk ticket packag-es like the Sick Kids lotterys 20 tickets for $900 can turn into a good deal if purchased with 19 other people. The expected percent-age return per ticket, in that case, is 87, he said.
There are also fund-raising lotteries, includ-ing Chase the Ace. The odds for Chase the Ace, a popular lottery made fa-mous by a recent $1.7-million jackpot in Inverness, N.S., seem to increase the longer the game lasts.
It has two parts: a lot-tery, which then gives the winner the chance to draw the ace of spades from a deck of cards for a bigger chunk of the jack-pot. The expected per-centage return increases as fewer cards remain, Ezzat said.
So-called 50/50 draws, meantime where the winner pock-ets half the ticket sales are a popular fixture at Canadian sporting events. But unless the or-ganizers offer discount-ed bulk tickets, the ex-pected percentage re-turn is always 50 per cent, said Ezzat.
Theres no benefit in getting in early, he said. It doesnt matter.
But while the odds fluctuate based on the game, Orkin said, theres really few good reasons to play any lottery.
Theres the profound-ly slim chance of chang-ing ones life with a mas-sive payoff from a small investment, he said, but so long as theres no gambling problem its worth it to go out and buy a couple of lot-tery tickets, especially when the jackpot gets high, if you find it enter-taining.

Cranbrook city coun-cil officially acknowl-edged that an urban deer cull was carried out, with 20 deer being captured and eutha-nized over the last six weeks.
In a media release is-sued after a city council meeting on Monday, Jan. 18, the city said a wildlife permit was ob-tained in October and valid until the end of January.
I am very pleased with the results of this program to manage and control our urban deer situation, said Mayor Lee Pratt, in the press release. I know some
people do not agree with our program, but in the interest of the pro-tection of citizens prop-erty and the safety of our residents it had to be done.
Councillor Wes Gra-ham filled in for Mayor Lee Pratt, who was un-able to make the meet-ing due to illness.
Its the first public ac-knowledgement of a cull since the B.C. Deer Pro-tection Society and the Animal Alliance of Can-ada accused the city of approving and conduct-ing a cull behind closed doors.
The B.C. Deer Pro-tection Society posted video of a deer caught in a clover trap before
being shot twice by a bolt gun. Photographs of two other fawns caught in a collapsed clover trap were also posted on their website.
Sherry Adams, a local Cranbrook resident who opposes the cull, said she was disappointed the matter wasnt dis-cussed vocally during the council meeting.
It wouldve been nice if they discussed things openly instead of always doing things in-camera, Adams said. Democracy is about transparency and that wouldve been nice if the Cranbrook council would do that.

On the record
C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor
As reported in the Bulletin last week, Council had a lengthy discussion about recre-ation in the watersheds at their last regular meeting. The discus-sion was born out of concerns over a trails proposal in the Mat-thew Creek watershed.
Mayor Don McCor-mick says that while there was some level of concern over any rec-reation in water sheds, in his mind by far the biggest threat to Kim-berleys water quality is logging.
Of all activity in the watersheds Mark and Matthew logging is the one that concerns me most. However, it is recreation that is get-
ting the headlines these days hiking, hunting, snowmobil-ing, etc. The City does not own its watersheds, which are governed by the Province. All we can do is monitor and recommend, which is the primary purpose of the Watershed Com-mittee.
The City has taken a zero tolerance ap-proach to Mark Creek, which supplies the ma-jority of water to Kim-berley. There has been recreational activity in the Matthew Creek wa-tershed as long people can remember. Chang-ing that would be diffi-cult.
But McCormick says logging is of greatest concern.
Mayor McCormick wants province to know that whoever sanctions logging in the watershed will be asked to pay
for water treatment plant

From Page 1The program came in
at $10,374 under a $15,000 budget, which rounds out to 494 per animal. Built into the cost included overhead such as clover trap setup and takedown, purchase of bait and supplies, packaging and distribu-tion of the meat, and all associated contractor administration costs.
From the 20 deer culled, over 855 pounds of meat was processed by a local butcher, pro-cessed in a govern-ment-approved facility and distributed to three local organizations for human consumptionall a part of the guide-lines within the wildlife permit approved by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations.
Specific areas of the city targeted with clover traps was based on com-plaints received by staff, along with results from a deer count, which iden-tified 137 urban ungu-lates. That is the highest result since the city began keeping track of urban deer numbers in 2010.
Though this is the third cull that Cranbrook has conducted, Adams hopes that the city will consider non-lethal ac-tions in the future.
We want them to stop culling the deer, es-pecially after weve shown them evidence that its not going the way its supposed to be going, Adams said. The deer are being treated in an inhumane fashion, as we thought all along, that violations to that permitthats not sup-posed to be happening, so wed like them to stop culling and commit to some humane manage-ment.
Whether that mean relocation or look more seriously at hazing, I think thats a good op-tion as well. I think its been kind of dismissed by them [council] but if you talk to the people who do it, it can easily be done.
The City of Cran-brook, along with Kim-berley, Sparwood, and Invermere, are partici-pating in a urban deer translocation trial proj-ect set for mid-February, which is being conduct-ed by VAST Resource Solutions.
In the same media re-lease that outlined the deer cull details, Pratt said the city remains committed to the proj-ect, having kicked in $10,000 last fall.
The recent popula-tion management pro-gram was approved and
organized before we knew exactly when the translocation trial was going to begin, says Mayor Pratt. We have direction from our resi-dents to try to deal with our urban deer popula-tion. The current meth-od used to manage deer populations is the only way we are authorized to do that, which is dic-tated by the Wildlife Act and enforced by MFLN-
RO. It is very important
for the public to recog-nize that this upcoming translocation trial is only a test and was never intended to move a large number of ani-mals from each munici-pality involved and large numbers of urban deer will still remain in Cran-brook.

From page 1He worries that
continued logging ac-tivity will inevitable lead to problems that will require Kimber-leys water to be treat-ed, and an expensive treatment plant built.
There are a number of factors that impact our water quality, he said. Councils con-cern is that any activity in the watershed will cumulatively decrease that quality. The turbid-ity we see each spring due to erosion is a re-minder. We are blessed with a watershed that gives us good water, so have not needed to in-vest in a water treat-ment plant to this point.
But that day may be coming, and McCor-mick wants to be on re-
cord with the province that it is the City of Kim-berleys position that since they had no abili-ty to say no to logging in the watershed, they should not have to foot the bill for a treatment plant required because of the impacts of that logging.
As I said earlier, I am more concerned with logging as its im-
pact is substantial. I re-alize this has been com-municated to the Prov-ince before, but the fi-nancial consequences to the City are severe. So I want to go on re-cord as saying whoever has sanctioned activity that results in Kimber-ley needing to build a water treatment plant needs to pay for it.
McCormick says he doesnt expect the sug-gestion to get traction until Kimberley is faced with the decision.
A further note to last weeks discussion on trail building. Linda Cox from Recreation Trails BC says that, con-trary to what is being claimed by some resi-dents, the St. Marys Residents Association was consulted on the Bootleg trails proposal.
Province should pay for water treatment plant if its needed, Mayor says

College of the Rock-ies Criminal and Social Justice students have new transfer options, thanks to a new agree-ment the College has signed with University of the Fraser Valley.
Students who com-plete the Criminal and Social Justice certificate at the College, and who meet admission re-quirements, can now block transfer their Col-lege of the Rockies cred-its directly into UFVs Criminology diploma or Bachelor of Arts in Criminology.
College of the Rock-ies Dean of Business and University Studies, Darrell Bethune, says, This agreement creates new opportunities for our Criminal and Social Justice students to move on to earn a diploma or degree. It is a terrific opportunity for students to begin their education at College of the Rock-ies, with small class sizes and more personal instruction, before mov-ing on to university.
In 2015, the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Trans-fer (BCCAT) reported
COTR signs transfer agreement with UFV
that 85 percent of Col-lege of the Rockies stu-dents who transferred to university completed their degree, the highest graduation rate among transfer institutions in the province. College of the Rockies students
also tend to achieve high grades after they transfer. At UBC Van-couver, College of the Rockies ranked first in terms of the graduating grade-point-average of its transfer students; it was also in the top five
at Simon Fraser Univer-sity and the University of Victoria.
It is recommended that students looking to transfer to University of the Fraser Valley work with an education advi-sor at the College to en-
sure they meet all en-trance criteria.

C anadian PressGOLDEN, B.C. - Four male snowmobilers from
Alberta could be facing a hefty price tag after they had to be rescued on the weekend from Quartz Creek, west of Golden, B.C.
Golden-Field RCMP say in a news release that the quartet will be required to organize and pay for a helicopter and permits to remove their stranded snowmobiles.
Parks Canada will also be investigating to deter-mine if they will be charged under the National Parks Act for entering Glacier National Park on snowmobiles.
RCMP say they were advised on Saturday that the group was stranded and required a helicopter to rescue them.
Instead, a search and rescue team from Golden headed out on snowmobiles and found the group of four, who were uninjured and waiting at an area cabin.
Const. Spencer Lainchbury says the group is be-lieved to have crossed into Glacier National Park and got stuck and unable to get out.
The four males were transported back to the staging area where their vehicle was parked.

Five years ago this month, the Arab Spring got underway with the non-violent overthrow of Tunisias long-ruling dictator, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. He dared not order the army to open fire on the demonstrators (because it might not obey), he was running out of money, and eventually he flew off off to Saudi Arabia to seek asylum.
In an Arab world where satellite televi-sion broadcasts and social media had effectively de-stroyed the power of the censors, practically every-body else spent the four weeks of civil protest in Tunisa tensely watching what the Tunisians were doing. When the Tunisian revolutionaries won, similar non-violent demonstrations demanding democracy immediately broke out in half a dozen other Arab countries.
It felt like huge change was on the way, because the world had got used to the idea that non-violent revolutions spread irre-sistibly, and usually win in the end. The ground-breaking People Power revolu-tion in the Philippines in 1986, for exam-ple, was followed in the next three years in Asia by non-violent democratisation in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Ban-gladesh, and failed attempts at non-violent revolution in Burma and China.
Similarly in eastern Europe, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Communist regime in East Germany in 1989 was followed by non-violent democ-ratisation in all the Soviet-dominated sat-ellite countries by the end of the year. The Soviet Union itself broke up in 1991, and some of its component parts also became democratic. Non-violence was a magic po-tion, and people assumed that it was bound to work in the Arab world too.
They were wrong. The non-violent movements demanding democracy spread just as fast, but their only lasting success
was in Tunisia. Egypt and Bahrain are back under autocratic rule, and Yemen and Syria are both being devastated by civil wars and large-scale foreign military inter-vention. Libya is also being torn by civil war (although the revolution there was never non-violent).
You can hardly blame people for trying to get rid of the old regimes they were pretty awful but beyond Tunisia the
endings were uniformly bloody and tragic. Was there some systemic reason for this, or was it just a lot of bad luck? There is great reluc-tance to pursue this ques-tion, because people are afraid that the answer has something to do with the na-
ture of Arab society or Islamic culture. They shouldnt worry.
Islam is not incompatible with democ-racy. Indonesia, the most populous Mus-lim country, had a non-violent democratic revolution in 1998 and continues to be a thriving democracy today. Turkey has been democratic for decades, although Recep Tayyib Erdogan, the current presi-dent, is doing great damage to the coun-trys democratic institutions. Pakistan and Bangladesh are both democracies, al-though turbulent ones.
These four countries alone account for almost half the worlds Muslims. In the Arab world democracy is a much scarcer commodity, but it does exist, most notably in Tunisia itself. Several other Arab coun-tries, like Jordan and Morocco, have a sig-nificant democratic element in their poli-tics, although the king retains much power.
So what went wrong with the Arab Spring? In the case of Bahrain, the prob-lem was that the majority of the population is Shia, but the ruling family is Sunni and saw the democratic movement as an Irani-an plot. Neighbouring Saudi Arabia saw it the same way, and sent the Saudi army in to crush the plot.
Yemen was a lost cause from the start, since there was already an incipient civil war in the country. Now its a full-scale war, with foreign military intervention by a Sau-di-led coalition that includes half the countries in the Arab world, and the non-violent protestors are busy hiding from the bombs.
Syria was a hard case since the Baathist regime, in power for more than forty years, had accumulated a great many enemies. The Alawite (Shia) minority who dominat-ed the regime were terrified that they would suffer from revenge-taking if they lost power, and were willing to fight to the last ditch to keep power.
But it is also true that Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and later the United States as well, encouraged an armed uprising in Syria that undercut the entire non-violent move-ment. It probably wouldnt have succeed-ed anyway, but it really didnt get tried. And in Egypt, the non-violent revolution actually won.
The victory didnt last long. The Muslim Brotherhood won the election in 2012, and the urban, secular minority who had made the revolution panicked. They asked the army to intervene, and the army was happy to oblige so now the army runs the country again, after a massacre of non-vio-lent Muslim Brotherhood protesters in 2013 that was probably worse that the slaughter on Tienanmen Square in 1989.
Egypt is by far the biggest country in the Arab world. If it had not thrown its democ-racy away, about a third of the worlds Arabs would be living in a democracy today. It was very bad luck, but non-violent revolution is still a viable technique and democracy is still just as suitable for Arabs as it is for Poles, Peruvians or Pakistanis. Its just going to take a little longer than we thought in 2011.

Kimberley cross country skier Molly Miller continues her as-cent on the global nor-dic stage.
Sunday, Miller was named to the roster for Cross Country Ski Cana-das Junior B-Tour Team, which will compete at the German National Championships in Ober-hof, Germany, and the OPA Continental Cup in Campra, Switzerland.
Miller, 14, continues to rise on the cross-coun-try scene after represent-ing Team B.C. as part of a silver-medal effort in team relay at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George.
After first qualifying for the 2015 Canada Winter Games, Miller expressed her desire to one day go to the Olym-pics and represent her country on the biggest stage as a part of the national team.
Sundays announce-ment might not be of Olympic-sized propor-tions, but it certainly a step in the right direc-tion as Miller continues to pursue her bigger as-pirations.
The young nordic racer, who has been training at the Kimber-ley Nordic Club since she was only nine years old, finished her 2015 campaign by collecting two gold medals and two silver medals at the 2015 Ski National Championships.
In early January, Miller qualified for the 2016 B.C. Winter Games (Penticton, Feb. 25 to 28) after her perfor-mance at the Teck Koo-tenay Cup hosted by the Kimberley Nordic Club.
The Selkirk Second-ary School student wont be alone when she travels to Europe later this month as Cross Country Ski Canada is sending 10 athletes overseas as a part of the Junior B-Tour Team.
Joining Miller will be Mia Serratore (National Development Centre - Thunder Bay, Ont.), Anna Goodwin (Holly-burn Cross Country Ski Club - West Vancouver), Laura Leclair (Chelsea Nordiq - Chelsea, Que.), Claire Grall-Johnson (Nakkertok Nordic - Ot-tawa-Gatineau), Eti-enne Hebert (Monteris-ki Ski Club - Sainte-Julie, Que.), Samuel Greer (National Development Centre - Thunder Bay), Gareth Williams (Tele-mark Nordic Club - West Kelowna), Julian Smith (National Development Centre - Thunder Bay) and Eric Byram (Can-more - Winsport).
The German Nation-al Championship, set for Jan. 29 to 31, will be hosted in Oberhof, ap-proximately 215 km north east of Frankfurt.
The OPA Continental Cup, Feb. 5 to 7, will take place in Campra, Swit-zerland, located approx-imately 85 km north of Lugano.

The accolades keep pouring in for Kimber-ley amateur golfer Jared du Toit.
Monday afternoon, it was announced the 20-year-old du Toit had been nominated for the Sport B.C. Senior Male Athlete of the Year Award.
The 2015 season was
worth remembering for the Arizona State Sun Devils golf star.
In late October, the former Selkirk Second-ary School student was one of five players named to Team Cana-das 2016 National Ama-teur Golf Squad, with sights set on competing at the 2016 World Ama-teur Golf Championship this September at the El Camaleon Golf Club in
Cancun, Mexico.Being named to Can-
adas national team ful-filled a childhood dream for du Toit and it was nothing short of the cherry on top of the cake in 2015.
The Kimberley na-tive completed his sec-ond NCAA campaign in dominant fashion, lay-ing claim to the individ-ual title at the 2015 Big Sky Conference Mens
Golf Championship, guiding his University of Idaho Vandals crew to the team title along the way.
After finalizing his transfer from the Uni-versity of Idaho, where he spent his first two NCAA seasons, to Arizo-na State University (ASU), du Toit turned up the heat during the summer months.
The 6-foot linkster claimed the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Champi-onship on July 13 at Fairview Mountain Golf Course in Oliver, finish-ing atop the leaderboard by four strokes (10-under, 278).
In addition to his title at the B.C. Amateur, du Toit grabbed a sixth-place finish at the 49th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in Eu-gene, Ore.
In his first season under the tutelage of Sun Devils golf coach Tim Mickelson, du Toit turned in his strongest showing of the semester at the Alistair MacKen-zie Invitational (Oct. 12 to 13) in Fairfax, Calif., placing eighth (67, 68, 68).
The next NCAA event scheduled for du Toit and the Sun Devils is the Waikoloa Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawaii, from Feb. 4 to 6.
There has been no
slowing du Toit as he sits No. 1 overall in the Golf Canada mens amateur ranks as of Jan. 11. The Sun Devils product has held down the top spot for 10 consecutive weeks.
On the global stage, du Toit is listed 103rd on the World Amateur Golf Ranking scale.
The 50th annual Sport B.C. Athlete of the Year Awards are set to be hosted Thursday, March 10, at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
du Toit was nominat-ed for the prestigious provincial award by B.C Golf president David At-kinson and B.C. Golf ex-ecutive director Kris Jo-nasson.
The 2014 Male Se-nior Athlete of the Year Award winner was speed skater Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, who earned a sil-ver and bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
Sport B.C. is a non-profit sport federa-tion, representing over 60 provincial sport orga-nizations in British Co-lumbia.
As a member-based organization, Sport B.C. supports the growth of amateur sport in B.C. and provides leadership through delivery of pro-grams and services for members.

EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers say forward Ryan Nu-gent-Hopkins will be out six to eight weeks with a hand injury.
Nugent-Hopkins left in the second period of the Oilers 4-2 win at Florida on Monday after blocking a shot.
Oilers coach Todd McLellan said after the game that Nugent-Hop-kinss injury would be long-term, then pro-vided a time frame for his recovery at Tues-days practice
Nu g e nt- Ho p k i n s, Edmontons first-overall pick in the 2011 NHL
draft, has eight goals and 22 assists in 46 games this season.
McLellan said that despite the injury to one of his top forwards, the Oilers are not prepared to rush star rookie Con-nor McDavid back to ac-tion this
