Kovach said that BC Hydro will be tak- ing out a number of trees in that area this summer. The trees are located on city bou- levards on 102 Ave. The trees are older and not in great health and it’s not cost effec- tive for BC Hydro to continue to prune them. Kovach explained that BC Hydro prunes trees on a five year cycle — meaning that they are pruned once every five years. These trees are requiring more frequent care, and are not in good health, thus BC Hydro will be taking them out. When BC Hydro takes out a tree if offers a $75 coupon towards a new tree. The City will be receiving coupons for every tree. Coun. Albert Hoglund suggested that perhaps Kovach might want to talk to res- idents and offer them the coupons, be- cause the trees, while technically on City property, are very valuable to those who live on 102 Avenue. Hoglund says he sus- pects many residents would be upset to find the trees were being removed. Coun. Darryl Oakley said he had al- ready heard from some residents who were concerned that these were wildlife trees. Kovach assured him that no trees would be removed until after the nesting period.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus rolled through Cran-brook and Kimberley yesterday, Tuesday, April 30.
Trailing an entourage of dozens of staff, report-ers and security officers, the Premier made three stops while in the East Kootenay.
First, starting at noon, she toured Fab Rite Ser-vices in Cranbrook to see the steel fabrication business in action.
Premier Clark met Kootenay East MLA can-didate Bill Bennett for the tour, where she talk-ed to machinists who crafted a steel plate for her reading “B.C. strong economy”.
After seeing Fab Rite in full swing, Premier Clark held a media con-ference where she talked about the B.C. Liberals’ job plan and how it has contributed to a strong economy.
“A strong economy needs strong leadership,
and strong leadership means saying yes to eco-nomic opportunities. It means helping compa-nies like this one succeed by holding the line on taxes, by cutting red tape.

COMMUNITY SNAPSHOTMcWhinnie Day a big success
$800 raisedC AROLYN GR ANT
Another successful McWhinnie Day event was held at the Kimberley Skate Park on Sunday, and accord-ing two organizer Alex Buter-man, it was the biggest yet.
It raised more money than
ever before — $800. It had more riders for the jam than ever before — 70. And it had the same good feelings as the previous celebrations as the community celebrated Bob McWhinnie’s vision of the skate park.
“We raised over $800,” Buterman said. “There were tons of bake sale donations. It
was really terrific support.”Funds from previous Bob
McWhinnie Days had helped to build the new washrooms at the park and Buterman said they were a hit, as was the outdoor water fountain.
He said these funds may go to put in fencing along the back of the park near Mark Creek, as the water can run
fairly quickly in that area during the spring freshet.
Buterman thanks every-one for the support and keep-ing freestyle alive and well in Kimberley.
“Let’s concentrate our en-ergy on more community ini-tiatives and events to make Kimberley a happy and healthy place to live and visit.”

An Earth Day pledge to do
better for our world
For the Bulletin
All day Tuesday April 23, 2013 the stu-dents of Marysville Elementary School gathered together to celebrate Earth Day. The students and staff started the day by gathering in the gym for a short Earth Day presentation to set the mood for the day. Shortly after we gath-ered outside to do a school wide Pitch In. The day continued with eight different educational and fun earth activities which all the kids thorough-ly enjoyed.
Students learned about compost, red wigglers (worms), re-cycling, gardening, community involve-ment, how first na-tions people are con-

nected with the earth and all the children even took a earth day pledge, which is now visible to everyone
who enters our school.
Earth Day at Marysville has defi-nitely made a positive
impact on our planet but more importantly on the children that are its future!

As part of our Earth Day celebrations at Lindsay Park School we assisted the City of Kimberley with their Pitch In program to clean up several of the streets around our school. We take pride in keeping our city clean and being responsible citizens for our environment.

There are quite a few youngsters playing golf in this area, and a lot of them are quite good, but they may just be playing for recreation and fun.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but Mike du Toit — parent of a couple of budding golfers him-self — wants youth golfers to know that there is a ‘junior tour’ in the East Kootenay.
He is working with BC Golf to promote junior golf in the East Kootenay.
“There’s some really good junior golfers here and I would like to somehow get the word out that they should come out to play,” du Toit said.
“Currently there’s a “junior tour” which allows kids to get familiar with tournaments and earn points toward being selected to go to the provin-cials.”
Hosting courses this year are Windermere (April 28), Kimberley (May 11), Cranbrook (May 18), Golden (May 26), and Fernie (June 2).
That’s two more than last year with the addition of Windermere and Golden this year.
Kimberley junior golfers had a fine showing at the first tournament, taking four of the top five spots with Jared du Toit, Evan Gresty and Russell du Toit taking first, second and third and Julia Dereniwsky taking fifth and earning points for the provincials.
“The “prize” at the end of the tour is to send the top four junior East Kootenay golfers to the provin-cial championship which is held in Revelstoke this year.
And don’t stay home from the tournaments just because you’re a little younger, du Toit says. Even if the top golfers are 16 and 17, younger players are more than welcome to enter the tournaments to gain experience.
“The little guys, and girls are more than wel-come to attend these EK tournaments and I hope they aren’t intimidated by the older guys.”
du Toit is also hoping that down the road there will be more clinics and town to town rivalries set up, perhaps Kimberley taking on Fernie, which may lead to East Kootenay taking on West Koote-nay.
He is hoping to get the word out any way he can to hook up with other parents, or kids, or golf courses that might be interested in hosting a junior tournament.
If you are interested in entering any of the up-coming junior tournaments, call the golf courses directly at:

Switch to natural gas and saveNatural gas offers convenience, comfort and affordability. And when you switch from fuel oil or propane to a high-efficiency natural gas heating system, you could get a $1,000 rebate.3
To learn more, visit fortisbc.com/switchnshrink.1These are approximate annual natural gas costs for space heating of a typical household in specific FortisBC service areas as identified. A typical household is defined as an existing single family house approximately 2,300 square feet with three occupants, average insulation and heating systems older than 15 years. The savings will be the difference between what you pay for current heating costs and natural gas costs. Calculations based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of January 2013 and fuel oil rates in each service area identified as of November 2012, and include the applicable carbon tax. Savings may vary by household. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.2Fuel rates for the Columbia region are similar to those of the Interior south and Interior north regions as of January 2013.3Terms and conditions apply.

Because we do know that if people leave a community, they often don’t come back. And I don’t think people want to leave in the first place. Anybody who’s born and raised in the Koote-nays wouldn’t leave if they had a choice.
“We’ve been very clear and focused on making sure we are in-vesting in post second-ary education on a re-gional level and then making sure we are try-ing to match the educa-tion we provide with the jobs we believe are going to be created in the local community. So mining, forestry, and those specific trades re-lated jobs are hugely important for people here.”
After touring Fab Rite, Premier Clark got back into her campaign bus and headed to Kim-berley at 2 p.m. There she stopped for a Kick-ing Horse Coffee at Snowdrift Cafe, before walking through the Platzl and talking one-on-one with Kimberley residents there.
Finally, Clark re-turned to Cranbrook at 5 p.m. for a political rally at the Heritage Inn.

First of all, dismiss all those news sto-ries saying that the Assad regime has started using chemical weapons
against its own citizens, and that this has crossed a “red line” and will trigger foreign military intervention in Syria. It is conceiv-able, though highly unlikely, that Assad’s troops have used poison gas against the rebels. It is not credible that any foreign leader is going to order his troops to go into Syria and stop the war.
The “evidence” for the Assad regime’s use of sarin (nerve gas) is flimsy, and it’s easy to see why the op-position fighters might choose to fabricate it. Equally flimsy evi-dence about alleged “weapons of mass destruction” was used to justify the Amer-ican invasion of Iraq. Why wouldn’t the Syrian rebels have a go at the same game?
Moreover, there is no plausible reason why the Syrian regime would use poison gas. It would confer no lasting military ad-vantage on the government forces, and the political costs of being caught doing it would be significant. But even if the accus-ations were true, it would make no real difference.
No Western government — nor any Arab government, either — is willing to put soldiers on the ground in Syria. Meddling in a civil war is rarely a good idea, and the Baathist regime’s army could inflict very serious losses on an invader. Even impos-ing a no-fly zone would mean Western pi-lots dead or downed, because Syria’s air defences are modern, competent and ex-
tensive.So if there is not going to be any foreign
military intervention, when is the Syrian civil war going to end? Not any time soon.
From time to time the rebels overrun an air base here or a frontier post there. This is usually reported as proof that they are making progress, but half the time they
lose their conquests back to the regime some weeks or months later. The front lines have scarcely shifted at all in Aleppo in the past six months, and the regime is even recapturing some of the Damascus suburbs that fell to the rebels last year.
The Syrian army lacks the numbers to hold down large tracts of countryside permanently, but it has never let the rebels close the main north-south freeway that links Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo. Assad’s divisions even re-opened the high-way linking Damascus to Tartus and Lata-kia on the coast recently, after many months of closure. If they are not actually winning the war on the ground, they are certainly not losing it.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar continue to feed weapons to the rebels, but not in quantities that would give them a chance of winning. This is probably because they have become increasingly nervous about the kind of regime that would replace Assad’s dictatorship after a military vic-tory. They wanted to replace Assad’s secu-lar regime with a government controlled by Sunni Muslims, but they do not want to put a fanatical Islamist regime in power.
That, at the moment, is precisely what an insurgent victory would produce, for the jihadi extremists of the al-Nusra brig-ades are by far the most effective fighters on the rebel side. The prospect of a radical Islamist regime has also convinced many moderate Syrians that they must prevent the fall of the Assad regime, even though they loathe it.
A year ago, the battle for Syria seemed to be turning into a straightforward strug-gle between the Sunni Muslim majority, some 70 per cent of the population, and the various minorities, Shia, Christian, Alawite and Druze, who backed the Assad regime because they feared Sunni domin-ation. It’s probably more like 50-50 now, because many Sunni Muslims are equally repelled by the alternative of a radical Islamist tyranny.
There are no opinion polls to confirm this shift in Sunni opinion, but the evi-dence is there in the loyalty and the com-bat effectiveness of the Syrian army, most of whose rank-and-file troops are Sunni Muslims. So what should we hope for, in this almost hopeless situation?
The least bad outcome, at this stage, would be a stealthy military take-over of the regime that discreetly removed Assad and his cronies without abandoning the principles of the secular state, and then isolated the jihadis by reaching a generous peace settlement with the other elements of the rebel forces. How likely is that? Not very, unfortunately.

The WHL Bantam Draft is coming up on Friday, and the Kootenay Ice will be looking to their future.
Scouts from across the league gather in Cal-gary on Thursday for the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, and Ice head scout Gar-net Kazuik will be there to make the calls.
The Ice have picks in every round but the eighth—sent to the Tri-City Americans for their spot in the CHL Import Draft last year—and also have four selections in the fifth round, which have accumulated in various deals over the last two seasons.
Kazuik, who spends his winter and spring months traversing West-ern Canada to identify up and coming bantam tal-ent, said this year’s draft class has a higher profile than others in the past because of the influence of social media.
“The top players—the top layer—is very good, just like in most drafts,” said Kazuik. “The top group is good, but that takes away nothing from the guys in the middle of the first round either. They’re very good play-ers and more often than not, some of those play-ers turn out to be just as good as the top guys any-ways.”
Kootenay selects
ninth overall in the first round, but the Vancou-ver Giants start the show with the first pick after a poor season that finished with them in the WHL basement.
“Where we’re picking, we should definitely get a good player, and hope-fully it’s an impact player, and we’re just looking for the best fit for the Koote-nay Ice that fits into the framework of our team,” continued Kazuik, “that fits well with our dressing room and our coaching staff.”
Kootenay gets picks in the second and third round, and takes the fourth round selection of the Swift Current Bron-cos, which belonged to the Saskatoon Blades via a trade for Erik Benoit at the deadline in January.
The Ice then get a whopping four selec-tions in the fifth round. Along with Kootenay’s own spot, the Ice picked up fifth round picks in trades that sent Elgin Pearce to the Medicine Hat Tigers, Mike Simp-son to the Lethbridge Hurricanes and John Neibrandt to the Van-couver Giants.
“I think it’s going to be very valuable, because you can definitely find players in the fifth round that can play,” said Ka-zuik.
He referenced Koote-nay Ice alumnus Nigel Dawes, the sniper who
won a Memorial Cup with the team and a gold medal at the World Ju-nior Championship. Dawes was drafted 73rd overall in the fifth round of the 2000 WHL Bantam Draft.
“If you can find some players that can play, it’s definitely going to help our depth in that age group for sure,” added Kazuik. “And that’s where the important part is—the depth that those fifth round picks can fill.”
While the draft is meant to build for the future, the picks are also important bargaining chips for trades. The Ice scooped up Jordyn Boyd from the Everett Silver-tips on draft day last year, giving up a fifth round selection in return.
Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth said he is looking to draft 10 to 11 players, but he is also waiting to see what hap-pens in terms of who wants to buy and sell when the process gets underway.
“We’re going to look at all options and we’re going to see what every-body is going to do,” said Chynoweth. “If we can make our team better, we will, but it’s tough to make trades for veteran
players with draft picks…you can do it, but you have to have a dance partner.
“…We’re excited about the nucleus of our team that’s coming back next year, we have lots of potential. We got some holes to fill, just like every other team does and we’ll address that starting Thursday as well as the rest of the summer and into the start of the season.”
WHL NOTES: The Portland Winterhawks won’t be able to make any selections in the draft until the seventh round, due to disci-plinary sanctions from the WHL stemming from an investigation into al-leged player benefit vio-lations.

The WHL hands out year-end awards in Cal-gary on Wednesday, and Kooteany Ice bench boss Ryan McGill is the Eastern Conference nominee for the Dunc McCallum trophy as coach of the year.
After a shaky start to the season, the Ice re-versed their fortunes in the second half of the year and catapulted into the playoffs for their 15th consecutive appearance.
McGill is facing off against Ryan Huska, the Western Conference nominee who coached the Kelowna Rockets to a record-breaking sea-son in the B.C. Division.
The Rockets set a club record for most wins, wracking up 52 victories, along with an-other franchise record of 23 consecutive wins on home ice.
Former Kootenay Ice coach Cory Clouston won the award twice in 2005 and 2007, while his successor, Mark
Holick, picked up the same hardware in 2010.
“If Ryan McGill is fortunate enough to win, that’d be four coaches in nine years, and that’d be some-thing I’m very proud of,” said Ice general manager Jef f Chynoweth. “Having said that, Ryan Huska has done a great job with the Kelowna Rock-ets, not only this year, but throughout his ca-reer there, and they had a 52-win season, so it’ll be tough.”

EDMONTON - Lau-rent Brossoit made 26 saves and his fifth shut-out of the playoffs as the Edmonton Oil Kings de-feated the Calgary Hit-men 2-0 on Tuesday in Game 7 the Western Hockey League’s East-ern Conference final.
Brossoit now ranks second all-time in WHL single-season playoff shutouts.
Only Dustin Slade of the 2006 Vancouver Gi-ants has recorded more, with six shutouts en route to the champion-ship that season.
Michael St. Croix had both Oil King goals as Edmonton advanced to the WHL final to play the Portland Winter-hawks for the Ed Chynoweth Cup for the second year in a row. The defending champi-on Oil Kings were pushed to a seven-game series in last year’s showdown, but held home ice advantage: something they won’t possess in this year’s final.
Chris Driedger stopped 36 shots in net for the Hitmen.
Calgary nearly scored first just five min-utes into the game off Jaynen Rissling’s slap pass down low for Jake Virtanen, who deflected it just overtop the net.
St. Croix opened up scoring for the Oil Kings on the transition, finish-ing off a two-on-one with Stephane Legault around lone defender Rissling at 14:05 of the first period.
Legault came within inches of putting Ed-monton up 2-0 at 15:55 of the first, deflecting a feed from the left wing just off the post and back out into play.
St. Croix doubled Ed-monton’s lead at 4:33 of the second period. After two Calgary blocks in front, St. Croix jumped on the loose puck to whip it behind Driedger to make it 2-0 Edmon-ton after two periods.
Edmonton was con-tent to shut the game down for a scoreless third period to earn a berth to the finals.
Neither team capital-ized on the power play, with both squads earn-ing four chances on the man advantage.

Tebow clears waivers and is now free agent
DENNIS WASZ AK JR.Associated Press
NEW YORK - Tim Tebow is free to sign with any NFL team that might want him.
The popular but po-larizing quarterback cleared waivers Tues-day, a day after being let go by the Jets following an embarrassingly un-successful year in New York.
Tebow is now a free agent, but his NFL fu-ture is uncertain. It was expected he would clear waivers since a team would have had to pick up the remainder of Tebow’s contract, about $1.9 million over the next two seasons.
The Jets must still pay the Broncos, from whom they acquired
Tebow in March 2012, $1.53 million as a result of their trade agree-ment.
It’s unclear if any NFL team will give Tebow an opportunity for next season. His in-accurate passing, in ad-dition to the relentless media attention he draws, makes for a tricky mix.
The Omaha Beef, an indoor football team, have offered him to play for them, as have the Orlando Predators of the Arena League. The Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Foot-ball League hold his rights, but general manager Jim Popp said he could come com-pete for a job - as a backup.

Dear Annie: Recently, my wife and I stayed for four days at the home of one of her school chums. The gals yakked until late at night, so I was the first one up every morn-ing. I’m an early riser anyway.
I like reading the newspaper with my breakfast, so when I’d get up, I’d go outside and pick up the paper and bring it in. My wife says it was wrong to get the paper before our hostess. Anyway, after a couple of days, the school friend seemed in a snit about some-thing, and my wife says that was the reason, even though she never said so when I asked whether something was bothering her.
Recently, we were invited to stay with dif-ferent friends for a weekend, and I am get-ting no end of hassle from my wife to make sure I wait for our hosts to finish with the paper. I figure I’ll just go out for coffee some-where and buy a paper. My wife says it would be rude to take off at breakfast. Is this idiotic or what? -- California
Dear California: It would be rude to read the paper in such a way that your hosts must wait for you to finish, or that you drag sec-tions of it all over the house and fill in all the clues to the crossword puzzle. But there is nothing wrong with reading the paper early, putting it back together nicely and having it available to your hosts when they awaken.
You can resolve this simply enough. When you arrive, inform your hosts that you are an early riser, and ask whether they would mind if you fetch their paper and read it with your coffee, promising to keep it in pristine condition for when they are ready to read it. You also could offer to go to the local coffee shop and bring back coffee and muf-fins (and a newspaper) for everyone else.
Dear Annie: I need to vent. My daughter, my 8-year-old granddaughter and I recent-ly went to a Broadway show. After we were seated, a woman, her young daughter and her mother sat next to us. The woman was rather large, but instead of taking the aisle seat, she gave that to her mother and sat next to me. She was practically sitting on top of the chair arms due to her size and was taking up part of my space. At the end of the show, she told us we would need to climb over her because her knees hurt and she couldn’t move yet. I’m sure her knee problems are due to her size.
This woman looked to be in her mid-30s. At this rate, she might not live long enough to see her daughter reach adulthood. Don’t you think she should have taken the aisle seat? -- Loved the Show, Disliked the Seat
Dear Loved: It seems logical that the per-son with the most difficulty moving would prefer the aisle seat, but perhaps the wom-an’s mother insisted on taking it. When stuck in these situations, there isn’t much you can do other than show tolerance for two hours.
Dear Annie: I had to laugh when I read “Frustrated Cook’s” letter. I remember how my parents battled with me over eating broccoli when I was a kid. I was forced to fin-ish it, so I would wash small bites down with my sweet tea, as if they were pills.
I’m 48 now, and broccoli is one of my favorite foods. However, I can no longer tol-erate sweet tea. I think texture is often the is-sue, as it was for me. When I had kids, I never forced them to eat what I fixed. I gave them the option of making themselves a peanut butter sandwich if they did not want to eat my meals, but I also did not prepare a sepa-rate dish for them. -- Memphis Mama

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Focus your energy less on taking the lead and more on gaining a consensus regarding a key mat-ter. You could see a situation far differently after having talked to various people. What you thought you were sure of might no longer be the case. Tonight: Take a midweek break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Tension could escalate if you continue on a non-negotiable path. Toss stubbornness to the wind, and you’ll find that your stress level will drop almost immediately. You might want to justify your stance on an issue, but is it really worth it? Tonight: Do your own thing.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You might want to take some time away from an issue and look at it later. Try to detach. Plan a mini-vacation if possible. You will come back revitalized and ready to handle nearly any-thing. You do have a lot on your plate. Tonight: Schedule some downtime with a friend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Your playfulness emerges. A loved one who has been uptight as of late might adopt a new, more upbeat attitude as a result of your lightness. Recognize that this attitude probably is only a temporary change. Enjoy it! Tonight: Meet friends. Go un-til you can’t go any longer.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Others seek you out, so much so that you might need to screen your calls. You have to take care of your must-do errands first. Plans could change. A discus-sion with a respected friend needs to happen soon. Tonight: So many possibilities -- decide what you want to do!VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Listen to suggestions, but do not allow them or your social life to stop you from completing what must be done. A call will be coming in during the next few days, which could open the door to new possibilities. To-night: Relax by getting involved in a favorite pastime.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You could become involved in a situation that you normally
would prefer to walk away from. Others find your logic to be quite wise. A close loved one might give you an earful. Just listen to what this person has to say; you do not need to agree. Tonight: Laugh and relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Your smiling manner attracts a different response than antici-pated. As a result, others seem to open up more. Know that a lot is going on around you. Try not to slip into negativity, as you will see the difference in how others respond. Tonight: Say “yes” to a suggestion.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Listen to news with an open mind and an eye to being more responsive. You are more than willing to rethink a decision with those involved. A power play is a different story, and you might not want to get involved. State those limits. Tonight: Hang out with friends.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Suddenly, your mind will turn on like a light bulb. You’ll see many other options open up as a result. You might be somewhat tense about head-
ing toward a dynamic change. Recognize what could happen if you do not take a risk. Tonight: Check in with a child and/or a loved one.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You are in your element today. You know it, and you feel it. Confusion surrounds a person-al issue. Give yourself time to think through the possibilities. Try to revise a situation and eliminate some of your innate judgments. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might not want to share so much with others. You could feel misunderstood, and you likely will be right. Take some much-needed time for yourself, and try to sort out your feelings. News coming in from a distance could pique your interest. To-night: Early to bed.
