What’s next for strugging non-profit? Youth Centre not currently open; hopes for part time by Sept. C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The Kimberley Youth Centre has operated under many names, from Lee Haskell Centre to Sparks, but it has the distinction of being the longest running youth centre in British Columbia. However, for the past few months the Youth Chris Newel photo

Dynamiters planning next season C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
It was a season with some highs and lows, but it ended on a high note with the Kimberley Dynamiters making the playoffs. Team President Dave Smith and the rest of the organization hope to carry that momentum into next season. “We feel we ended the year on a posi-
tive note,” Smith said. “We are looking forward to next year.” Resumes are now being accepted for the General Manager/Head Coach position. Information on applications is available at kimberleydynamiters.net The deadline for applications is April 5 and the position would start immediately as pre-season planning has already begun. Next up for the Dynamiters is the fundraising Bull-A-Rama event in May. Watch
the Bulletin for more information on that event and other fundraisers. Registration for Summer Conditioning and Identifcation Camp is now open as well. That camp will be held in Cranbrook at Western Financial Centre from Friday, August 9 to Sunday, August 11. Only 60 players and eight goalies will be looked at. For further information on the camp, contact Dave Smith at 250-427-4439, email cdlrs@telus.net or check the website.
Centre has been closed, and in the past few years it has operated inconsistently, says the Chair of the Youth Centre board, Josh Lockhart. Lockhart visited Council this week to update them on plans at the Youth Centre, and to ask for an advance on the City’s yearly grant to help with staff wages and past due utilities and insurance bills. He wasn’t going to go into a sob story on past difficulties, he said, but rather focus on plans for the future.

Rough roads C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Residents of Levirs Avenue have presented Kimberley Mayor and Council with a petition expressing frustration over the condition of their street. “For the last few years the pot holes are so many and so deep that there is no way around it,” the petition reads. “We would like to see our tax dollars at work and have the street paved. Also, if damage to our vehicles can be certified by a mechanic to road conditions, we would collectively hold the City responsible.” “It appears to be signed by everyone who lives on Levirs except myself,” said Mayor Ron McRae. The petition was referred to the Manager of Public Works, who will respond.
