Youth Centre re-opens Centre serves Kimberley’s at-risk youth C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Kimberley’s Youth Centre has gone through many names — Lee Haskell Centre, Sparks Youth Centre and more — but its mission to provide a safe space for Kimberley’s at risk youth has never changed. The Centre has been closed since last spring, but was able to reopen its doors this month. Former executive director and now board member Bev Middlebrook reports that the centre is open from 2 to 6 p.m., Monday to Thursday and Friday from 1:30 to 6 p.m. New Youth Worker Kate McInroy will be supervising and creating drop in activities. “I am so impressed with the number of youth using the centre,” Middlebrook said. “The clientele is always changing as they grow up. It has been very busy in our third week open.” Middlebrook says there are all kinds of plans to keep youth engaged.

KENNY ROGERS CONCERT
Country legend playing Cranbrook in February
Kootenay Concert connection brings superstar artist to East Kootenays BARRY COULTER
One of the best-selling artists of all time will be stopping in Cranbrook to brighten up the winter. Kenny Rogers, renowned for pop-country hits like “The Gambler,”
“Lucille,” “Lady,” and “Coward of the County,” will be playing Western Financial Place in Cranbrook on February 26, 2014. Rogers’ Cranbrook concert will be in support of his latest album — his 32nd — titled “You Can’t Make Old Friends.” Though he has been most successful with country audiences, he has charted more than 120 hit singles across
various music genres, topped the country and pop album charts for more than 200 individual weeks in the United States alone and has sold over 130 million records worldwide, making him one of the highest-selling artists of all time. Tickets go on sale at Western Financial Place Friday Nov. 22, at 10 a.m. “We are thrilled to have an artist of this magnitude come to the East Koo-
tenay”, said FJ Hurtak, from the Kootenay Concert Connection. “At the recent Country Music Awards in Edmonton, my partner, Gene Daniel from Nanaimo and I heard that Kenny Rogers may be touring Canada in 2014. We had a meeting with his agent during that week to explore the possibilities of having them make Cranbrook a part of the tour.
