$1,324,542 budgeted for Sun Mine this year Tenders out on flume project
C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The other big capital project in the City budget is the Sun Mine, with $1,324,542 budgeted for that. The current status of the Sun Mine, said City CAO Scott Sommerville last week, is that hook up with BC Hydro is planned for mid-May. A transformer is still on its way from Korea, he said. “We really are at the mercy of BC Hydro.” The comments were made at the Mayor’s Lunch last week and Don McCormick was asked for an update on the solar project, including how it went from 2MW to 1MW. “The original plan was for 2MW,” McCormick said.

Councillors Goodwin, Hoglund, Oakley, Mayor McCormick, Councillors Roberts and Middlebrook, See SUN MINE, page 3 CAO Sommerville at the Sun Mine this winter.
The total City of Kimberley budget for 2015 is $27,544,877, with $3.9 million of that being other grant money, and $9,367,675 from property taxes. There is $6,117,779 ear-marked for General Fund capital projects in the budget for 2015, including $3,029,509 for the Mark Creek Flume project. However, the flume going ahead this year is still not written in stone. At last week’s Mayor’s Lunch, Don McCormick told those present that tenders were out and going ahead with Phase II of the flume was dependent upon those tenders.
“If the tenders match our budget, we go ahead,” the Mayor said. McCormick said the overall plan hasn’t changed but the expert hired to create the design have gone back over the project based on the budget. “They’ve done a complete review to make sure it’s as cost effective as possible,” he said. “But if the tenders come in over budget, we’re not going to do it. We’ll send the grant money back. We’re not going ahead with something over budget just because we have the grant money. “Having said that, we need to finish the project. But it can’t be at any cost.” See FLUME, page 4

itself that they just can’t refuse. Making a “skin flick” or adult film might not be the first thing that newly jobless professionals decide to throw their last remaining funds into, but after discovering how lucrative the porn industry is, they decide to go for it. With their crude yet savvy cameraman friend, Alex, Rollie and Daphne recruit improbable movie stars in Byron, an awkward bookie, and Jill, a feisty telegram performer. Norm Foster creatively uses Rollie’s character to narrate parts of the story for the audience. Despite the title of the play, there’s no nudity involved in Skin Flick; rather, Foster uses innuendo and suggestion to tell his tale which results in more than a few laugh-outloud moments. Skin Flick features phenomenal local talent
on-stage and in the director’s chair. No stranger to heart-warming and funny plays, Bob McCue puts his director’s cap back on for Skin Flick after directing CCT’s highly successful production of Steel Magnolias in 2012. Starring Patrick Baranowski and Tracy McGuire, the cast rounds out with Bob Wakulich, Jerrod Bondy, and Lisa Aasebo. Don’t miss this highly entertaining production running May 1 & 2, 6-9 and 13-16! Tickets can be purchased at Lotus Books or at the door and all shows start at 8:00 p.m. There is a stair lift available for those with mobility issues. Please call the Stage Door office at 250426-2490 to book the stair lift in advance. This production is intended for adult audiences - mature content and language.

Sun Mine connection expected mid-May
From Page 1 “And the revenue it would generate at 2MW was far in excess of what it is now. That was the original plan. But in the eleventh hour, $1.5 million in grant money went away and the project was scaled back. The question was do we put the project on hold or do we scale back to 1MW to fit the money we had, which was $5.3

Sunday, April 26, 11 to 4 Bulletin Editor
McWhinnie Day is on Sunday, April 26 this year and by now everyone knows the drill. Show up at the Skate Park, which former City Councillor Bob McWhinnie almost single-handedly willed into existence, and celebrate all that Bob loved about Kimberley — community, family and fun. Once again, Alex Buterman is taking charge of the event and he’s counting on his veteran McWhinnie Day volunteers to work their usual magic, but
he’s looking for more help as well. If you can bring some bake sale donations, help with set up and clean up, provide tents and tables for food, or if you’re with a band that would like to play, contact Buterman at lxelectric@hotmail.com Funds raised at McWhinnie Day go to improvements at the park. Goals this year are to begin work on a covered stage area with a concrete floor. Also high on the priority list is changing the existing bike park into a skills park that can be used by all. There is a lot of interest in creating the skills park, Buterman said. Funds will also be raised at the Green Door on April 24 with an art auction featuring pieces donated by Simon Haiduk.

KIMBERLEY NEWS April 12, 1956 Six Firms Bid On New School
Six construction firms from British Columbia and Alberta were represented when the board of School District No.3 opened tenders on the new high school last Friday evening. Studying the tenders was a complicated business. Each had quoted prices for alternative styles and no final decision has yet been reached. The bids ranged between $355,000 and $385,000 for the structure which will be built on a site between Coronation Park and the Banff Highway.
William Noppe, architect for the School Board, will be in Kimberley for the next few days consulting with trustees who must then obtain the approval of the provincial department of education before a contract is signed. From present indications, based on bids received, it appears likely that the B.C. firm of C.J. Oliver Limited will be the successful bidder. Others who submitted tenders were the Fabro Building and Supply Company Limited of Kimberley; Marpole Construction Company, Vancouver; Fame Brick Construction Company, Trail; A.W. Gillis, Sullivan Station, B.C. and Oland Construction Company, Lethbridge. The Oliver Company has been en-
gaged in Kimberley for some months past building the large addition to the Blarchmont Elementary School. The new high school, which will be among the most modern in the province, will house Grades 10, 11 and 12 and is part of a major building program approved by ratepayers of the Kimberley district at a by-law vote taken in December 1954. The program also included addition to the Marysville School and the Blarchmont School. Both these projects were undertaken during the past year. When the new school is opened it will greatly relieve pressure on the McKim School which at present houses all grades
from seven to 12 and is sorely pressed for room.
Youth Program Launched Here
Through the help of volunteers of adults and teenagers, Kimberley now has a group whose sole purpose is to promote and supervise youth activities. This youth program in general will eventually grow into a full-coverage program, its sponsors hope. After selecting the executive, the group drew up a constitution so as to maintain conformity in their future operation. One of the main clauses of the constitution declares the club to be non-partisan and non-sectarian. This means any and every youth is welcome as a member.
million. The business case for 1.05 MW is break even.” McCormick said the ideal scenario for the Sun Mine would be that once its producing, an industry decides to locate right beside it and take advantage of clean energy right next door. “That’s a good scenario,” he said. “Right now, we’re in the last 20 per cent of the project
and it’s dragging on. People are wondering. The good news is we are starting to plan the grand opening.” “Solar power is fairly simple,” Sommerville said. “But we are surprised by how complex this project became.” “We have really high expectations about what we can do with it,” McCormick said.
“Should the City of Kimberley spend the money now to turn the old Esso building site across from the Platzl into a green space?”
YES: 68% NO: 42%

College of the Rockies’ residence going solar For the Bulletin
College of the Rockies has an exciting new solar project at the main campus residence building. The endeavour allows the College to take advantage of a renewable energy source for heating the building while also providing an educational experience for interested students. College of the Rockies Facilities Manager Allan Knibbs says, “This project allows us to do three things. First, we are able to provide our students with opportunities to learn and see first-hand how solar energy works in the construction phase and to be able to see how the different solar technologies are performing via our real-time monitoring system. Second, it demonstrates the College’s leadership and commitment to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. And lastly,
this project will result in a direct reduction in our natural gas costs.” The residence project is unique as it is using two types of solar technology. The use of the two technologies allows the system to pull in as much heat as possible but also provides added educational benefits for students as they are able to learn about both approaches to producing solar energy. Jonathan White, a student in the Environmental Studies certificate program at the College, has been helping out with the installation with contractor Scott Graham of Renew Energy. He has found the experience to be exceptionally valuable. “I needed to take part in an environmental project for my program. Helping with the solar project at the College was a fantastic and unique opportunity. I was able to get excellent

able operation. I hope they will be seen as a leader inspiring others to do their bit for the planet.” The solar technology being used for the residence heats water which is then pumped into tanks that store the heat. The water in those
tanks is used to heat hot water in the residence building. The fully-automated process allows Knibbs to track the efficiency of the system and monitor the savings in heating costs. This is the second solar project at the College. The Pinnacle Hall building, used for some of the College’s trades programs, has a solar wall along one side. That solar air wall helps to draw heat into the building, improving indoor air quality and reducing its heating and operating costs. Plans are underway for another of the main campus buildings, Summit Hall, to have solar photovoltaic (PV) installed this summer which will generate solar-powered electricity and share it with the grid. College electrical students will have full access to that project during their studies. The College also offers a five-day Solar PV Design and Installation workshop. For more information, phone (250) 489-2751 ext. 3440.
Flume project From Page 1 McCormick also promised that a post-mortem on the first phase of the project was coming. “Stay tuned for that,” he said. “It will tell us what we learned on why it got so out of hand.” “With Phase II we waited for the grant money,” said City CAO Scott Sommerville. “I think that was the problem with Phase I.” “We can’t change what happened with Phase I but we can publish what we’ve found,” McCormick said. “At the end of the day, the flume is a great project and as a community we are proud of it.”

Opinion/features
Re: Old Cranbrook Fire Hall & Cranbrook District Arts Council As a concerned taxpayer and resident of the City of Cranbrook I would like to respond to the recent letters in the newspaper regarding the old Fire Hall. I am amazed at the continued plea by certain members of the CDAC wanting the city to “gift” them the old Cranbrook Fire Hall — not only gift it but give them money to renovate it. I am not sure why they feel that the city should provide them with a home to display and sell their art work for free. I understand that this group of local artists and supporters of the arts have been together for well over ten years and it seems to me that after all these years they would have or should have raised some money on their own (after all they are a business) to support their endeavors and not be continually relying on grants and other government handouts. Now don’t get me wrong — I love the arts. However when it comes down to providing space for local artists to sell their wares, versus paving city streets, upgrading infrastructure, or the city having to take out a $700,000 loan to repair our city irrigation fields, I’m sorry, the CDAC does not get my vote. Oh wait a minute, I already voted along with the taxpayers of Cranbrook last fall when we voted in a completely new mayor and council to insure our tax dollars are spent wisely on needs versus wants. My word of advice to the CDAC is per-
haps it’s time for your members to hold some fundraisers and purchase the building from the city like any other business would have to; renovate it with your own money as opposed to tax payers money like any other business owner would have to. Melanie Dodgson Cranbrook
Fire Truck
Kudos to Volunteers Larry, Paul, Cody and Murray for willingly putting many volunteer hours into maintaining the vintage 1929 Cranbrook Fire Department Ladder Truck. If a list was ever developed of surviving vehicles with heritage significance to Cranbrook, this one would have to be at the top. Here we have another incidence of Cranbrook potentially losing an important part of its heritage if it wasn’t for the hard work of a dedicated group of volunteers. In 1929 the Provincial Fire Warden had advocated for some time that Cranbrook needed to update its ladder truck equipment. The present ladder truck was outof-date and was practically useless if a fire broke out in a building higher than two stories as its ladders could only reach 24 feet. The City Council went to the citizens for permission to borrow the necessary funds to purchase a new ladder truck which could extend 50 feet. The voters were overwhelming in their support for By-Law #388. The Cranbrook Courier of April 11,
KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR
1929 reports that the Council had a discussion on the ordering of the new International truck recommended by the Fire Committee. Mayor Roberts expressed his opposition to purchasing the truck stating that he felt a suitable truck could be purchased for half the cost. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed and the Council’s vote carried to put in the order for the new International ladder truck at a cost of $6,234. Following the order for the ladder truck, Cranbrook Council received a telegram of congratulations from the Provincial Fire Marshall in Vancouver. Cranbrook residents also received another major benefit; the cost of house insurance in Cranbrook was reduced. The Archives at the Cranbrook Museum hold copies of several photos which show this new 1929 International Ladder Truck. It is obvious from the way the truck is positioned that it was a prized possession of the Cranbrook Fire Department. In one photograph even Mayor Roberts appears pleased with the City’s acquisition although he had originally been opposed to its purchase. So, once again, many thanks to this volunteer group for keeping part of Cranbrook’s heritage alive and well. We look forward to seeing it in this year’s Sam Steele Parade. I have to believe that Council members will also be appreciative of your work as they proudly wave to the crowd from their lofty perch atop the 1929 City Ladder Truck. Dave Humphrey Cranbrook

Treaty cash cow may dry up The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is. These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s report last month. The Te’mexw event
seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved. These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that BC VIEWS many treaty negotiation teams in this province and Tom across the country show no Fletcher such inclination. In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a “conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found. This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s. These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds,
10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular. Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

Welcome to the big dance Fight for Hockey’s Holy Grail begins Wednesday Dave C ampbell Associated Press
NHL WESTERN Conference Playoff Preview:
DUCKS vs JETS
BLUES vs WILD
REGULAR SEASON: Ducks went 51-24-7 (109 points) to win Pacific Division, get top seed. Jets went 43-26-13 (99 points) to get second wild-card spot. SEASON SERIES: Ducks won 3-0, with one win in regulation. STORY LINE: The Ducks won the rugged Western Conference for the second straight season, but despite their success they ranked just 28th in the league power play and 15th in penalty kill, a potential warning sign of post-season trouble. The Jets made the playoffs for the first time in four seasons since the franchise moved from Atlanta, playing in front of raucous capacity crowds in the NHL’s smallest market. ANAHEIM’S KEY PLAYER: Ryan Getzlaf. The star centre had 25 goals, tied for the second-most of his career, and led the Ducks with 70 points. WINNIPEG’S KEY PLAYER: Dustin Byfuglien. The burly defenceman returned to the ice on Saturday after a four-game suspension for a cross-check to the head. His Stanley Cup championship with Chicago in 2010 ought to be a benefit for an inexperienced team, and the 30-year-old’s plus-5 rating was his best in six seasons. GAME 1: Thursday at Anaheim, 10:30 p.m. PREDICTION: Ducks in 7.
REGULAR SEASON: Blues went 51-24-7 (109 points) to win Central Division. Wild went 46-28-8 (100 points) to get first wild-card spot. SEASON SERIES: Wild won 2-1-1, with two wins in regulation. STORY LINE: The Blues, after collapsing down the stretch last year to fall out of first place and lose a first round series with Chicago, won five of their last six games this time. They finished with the second-most wins in franchise history, one behind last season. Their well-balanced lines boasted seven forwards with at least 40 points. The Wild were the Western Conference’s best team after the All-Star break, including a franchise-record 12 straight road wins that ended on Saturday in, coincidentally, St. Louis. ST. LOUIS’ KEY PLAYER: Kevin Shattenkirk. Blues coach Ken Hitchcock must decide whether to ride Jake Allen or Brian Elliott in the net, but the key to this team is on the blue line. Shattenkirk missed 25 games with an abdominal injury but returned last month to a defence that ranked in the top five in the league in shots against and goals against. MINNESOTA’S KEY PLAYER: Devan Dubnyk. After arriving in a mid-January trade with Arizona, Dubnyk saved the Wild’s season by starting 39 of the 40 games and guiding the team to a 28-9-3 record. Their plus-45 goal differential during that span led the NHL by far. GAME 1: Thursday at St. Louis, 9:30 p.m. PREDICTION: Wild in 7.
PREDATORS vs BLACKHAWKS
CANUCKS vs FLAMES REGULAR SEASON: Predators went 47-25-10 (104 points) to finish second in Central Division. Blackhawks went 48-28-6 (102 points) to finish third in Central Division. SEASON SERIES: Blackhawks won 2-1, with one win in regulation. STORY LINE: The Predators have returned to the playoffs after a two-year absence, having played well enough under new coach Peter Laviolette to withstand a late slump. Coach Joel Quenneville has guided the Blackhawks through the absence of star Patrick Kane to a broken collarbone and into the post-season for the seventh straight time. One of their two titles under Quenneville was in 2010, when they beat a Laviolette-coached Philadelphia team. Goalie Corey Crawford is in peak form, sharing the William M. Jennings Trophy with Montreal star Carey Price after posting a .924 save percentage. NASHVILLE’S KEY PLAYER: Filip Forsberg. The rookie from Sweden led the team with 26 goals and 63 points. CHICAGO’S KEY PLAYER: Patrick Sharp. Kane could return for the playoffs, but he hasn’t been cleared yet to return. Sharp has been a streaky scorer, including in the post-season, but he had six goals in the last 15 games. GAME 1: Wednesday at Nashville, 8:30 p.m. PREDICTION: Blackhawks in 6.

REGULAR SEASON: Canucks went 48-29-5 (101 points) to finish second in Pacific Division. Flames went 45-30-7 (97 points) to finish third in Pacific Division. SEASON SERIES: Canucks won 2-1-1, with two wins in regulation. STORY LINE: The Canucks returned to the post-season despite a knee injury in late February by goalie Ryan Miller, who returned to action on Saturday. The Flames, who reached the playoffs for the first time in six years, are seeking their first post-season series victory since 2004. The Flames had the fewest points of the 16 playoff teams, but that was just 16 points behind the Rangers, the narrowest gap between the top and bottom of the field in 35 years since the 16-team format began. VANCOUVER’S KEY PLAYER: Radim Vrbata. The linemate for much of the season to twin stars Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin, Vrbata had 31 goals in his first season with the Canucks, the second-most of his 13-year NHL career. CALGARY’S KEY PLAYER: Johnny Gaudreau. One of the top contenders for the Calder Trophy, given to the league’s top rookie, the 21-year-old Gaudreau had 24 goals and 40 assists on a potent line with Jiri Hudler and Sean Monahan. GAME 1: Wednesday at Vancouver, 10 p.m. PREDICTION: Flames in 7.

Deliberation continues in Hernandez murder trial Michelle R. Smith Associated Press
FALL RIVER, Mass. Jurors in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez completed their fifth day of deliberations Monday without reaching a verdict. The jury has spent more than 27 hours deliberating whether Hernandez is guilty in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. They are due to resume deliberations Tuesday morning. Hernandez’s lawyers have acknowledged he was there when Lloyd was killed, and they said
he witnessed the killing. They questioned why he would put his career on the line to kill someone. At the time, Hernandez had a $40 million contract with the Patriots. Prosecutors say he thought no one would believe he did it. If jurors decide Hernandez killed Lloyd, they can convict him of either first-degree or second-degree murder. To convict him of first-degree murder, they must find that he killed Lloyd with deliberate premeditation, or with extreme atrocity or cruelty, or both. It carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
For a second-degree murder conviction, jurors must find that Hernandez either intended to kill Lloyd, cause grave harm to him or do something that he knew would likely cause Lloyd to die. It carries an automatic sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years. Even if he is acquitted, Hernandez will not be released from custody. He has pleaded not guilty to murder in Boston, where he is accused of the drive-by killing of two men in 2012. Prosecutors say he felt disrespected after one of the men bumped into him and spilled his drink.
IOC sets up whistleblower hotline ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAUSANNE, Switzerland - The International Olympic Committee has set up a hotline for whistleblowers to report match-fixing and other corruption. The IOC says the web-based “integrity and compliance hotline” is open to athletes, coaches, referees and members of the public
and offers “100 per cent anonymity.” The IOC says people can report suspicious approaches or activities related to manipulation of competitions or violations of IOC ethics code. The initiative was announced Monday at an international summit on sports integrity. IOC President Thomas Bach says “the ulti-
mate goal of all this is to protect the clean athletes and to give them, as far as we can, fair competition.” The conference urged governments to sign the Council of Europe convention against match-fixing and strengthen the role of “sports integrity officers” within sports organizations.
Oilers extend F Nail Yakupov for two years C ANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON - Nail Yakupov has signed a two-year contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers. Terms were not immediately available.
The 21-year-old Russian winger has come under fire for not producing as much as expected early in his NHL career. The No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft has 42 goals
and 46 assists for 88 points in 192 games. Yakupov had a league-worst minus-35 rating this season, partly a product of being on a team near the bottom of the standings.
Red Wings turn to G Petr Mrazek for Game 1 Noah Trister Associated Press
DETROIT - Petr Mrazek will start in goal for the Detroit Red Wings in Game 1 of their playoff series against Tampa Bay. Coach Mike Babcock announced his choice after practice Monday.
The 23-year-old Mrazek went 16-9-2 during the regular season with a 2.38 goals-against average. He’ll start instead of Jimmy Howard, who has been Detroit’s No. 1 goalie since the 2009-10 season. Howard went 23-1311 with a 2.44 GAA this
season. The goaltending situation became an issue as the Red Wings faltered down the stretch. They managed to hold on for third in the Atlantic Division, setting up a first-round matchup with the Lightning. The series starts Thursday at Tampa Bay.
NHL scoring champ Benn to undergo hip surgery Schuyler Dixon Associated Press
FRISCO, Texas - NHL scoring champion Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars played most of the season with hip problems and will have off-season surgery. Stars general manager Jim Nill said Monday that Benn had issues
with both hips. Nill said the winger should be ready for training camp in September. Benn scored 10 points (five goals, five assists) in the last three games to surge past the likes of Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin. Benn won the Art Ross
Trophy with 87 points, one better than John Tavares of the New York Islanders. Crosby was third with 84 points, and Ovechkin tied for fourth. The 25-year-old Benn had 35 goals and 52 assists for the Stars, who missed the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons.

Dear Annie: Young people are ready, willing and able to tackle the world’s most difficult challenges, and yet are vastly underrepresented as active citizens, decision-makers and problem solvers. We know that young people are uniquely suited to help solve problems if given the opportunity. 1. Fifty percent of the world’s population is under age 25. 2. Brain research tells us that young people are uniquely suited to solve problems if given the opportunity. They are wired for novelty (learning new things and creating new solutions), risk (trying things adults might not) and peer authority (kids listen to other kids more than they do to adults). 3. Youth who are engaged as active community members are more likely to grow up to volunteer, vote and donate to charitable causes. 4. Today’s social and environmental problems are immense; we need youth to be leaders and problem solvers today, not just the leaders of a distant tomorrow. Please let your readers know about Global Youth Service Day, April 17-19. During this three-day event, held in the U.S. and around the world, we are asking that young people raise their voices, claim their place on our GYSD map and tell their story. Together with their parents, teachers and friends, young people will begin their story of service and address unmet community needs. This event spotlights what youth are doing to make a difference. When given the opportunity, young people are great assets and resources to their communities, providing unique perspectives and skills.
Dear Steven Culbertson: Thank you for once again allowing us to mention Global Youth Service Day. Young people all over the world do such wonderful and helpful volunteer work, not only on this day, but every day of the year. Global Youth Service Day provides more opportunities for everyone to get involved. We hope all of our readers, young and old, teachers and students, will check out your website. Dear Annie: “C.B. in New Hampshire” said people should write down their plans for their own funerals and not leave family members guessing.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Hillary B. Price
When my husband passed away, I was fortunate that our insurance covered his expenses. I didn’t want my daughters to worry about me when my time comes. I had a CD that would cover my expenses. We went to the funeral home, and the director called the bank and had the CD turned over to an irreversible trust fund. It will accrue interest, and after all expenses are paid, any money left over will go to my daughters. Additionally, all of the decisions are made, from the vault to the obituary. For anyone who can pre-plan and prepay for their funeral, it’s a great idea. My girls said it was the best present I ever gave them. -- Planning Ahead Dear Planning: Such pre-arranged plans give children peace of mind. We wish more people would be willing to address this issue ahead of time. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Lincoln, Booth and Ford’s Theatre: 150 years ago
On the night Abraham Lincoln was shot, April 14, 1865, Associated Press correspondent Lawrence Gobright scrambled to report from the White House, the streets of the stricken capital, and even from the blood-stained box at Ford’s Theatre, where, in his memoir he reports he was handed the assassin’s gun and turned it over to authorities. Here is an edited version of his original AP dispatch: L awrence Gobright Associated Press
WASHINGTON, APRIL 14 - President Lincoln and wife visited Ford’s Theatre this evening for the purpose of witnessing the performance of ‘The American Cousin.’ It was announced in the papers that Gen. Grant would also be present, but that gentleman took the late train of cars for New Jersey. The theatre was densely crowded, and everybody seemed delighted with the scene before them. During the third act and while there was a temporary pause for one of the actors to enter, a sharp report of a pistol was heard, which merely attracted attention, but suggested nothing serious until a man rushed to the front of the President’s box, waving a long dagger in his right hand, exclaiming, ‘Sic semper tyrannis,’ and immediately leaped from the box, which was in the second tier, to the stage beneath, and ran across to the opposite side, made his escape amid the bewilderment of the audience from the rear of the theatre, and mounted a horse and fled. The groans of Mrs. Lincoln first disclosed the fact that the President had been shot, when all present rose to their feet rushing towards the stage, many exclaiming, ‘Hang him, hang him!’ The excitement was of the wildest possible description...
Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC, circa 1870.
dailybeast.com
Abraham Lincoln, February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865. The 16th President of the United States was shot by John Wilkes Booth on the evening of April 14, 1865. There was a rush towards the President’s box, when cries were heard - ‘Stand back and give him air!’ ‘Has anyone stimulants?’ On a hasty examination it was found that the President had been shot through the head above and back of the temporal bone, and that some of his brain was oozing out. He was removed to a private house opposite the theatre, and the Surgeon General of the Army and other surgeons were sent for to attend to his condition. On an examination of the private box, blood was discovered on the back of the cushioned rocking chair on which the President had been sitting; also on the partition and on the floor. A common single-barrelled pocket pistol was found on the carpet. A military guard was placed in front of the private residence to which the President had been conveyed. An immense crowd was in front of it, all deeply anxious to
learn the condition of the President. It had been previously announced that the wound was mortal, but all hoped otherwise. ... At midnight the Cabinet, with Messrs. Sumner, Colfax and Farnsworth, Judge Curtis, Governor Oglesby, Gen. Meigs, Col. Hay, and a few personal friends, with Surgeon General Barnes and his immediate assistants, were around his bedside. The President was in a state of syncope, totally insensible and breathing slowly. The blood oozed from the wound at the back of his head. The surgeons exhausted every effort of medical skill, but all hope was gone. The parting of his family with the dying President is too sad for description. The President and Mrs. Lincoln did not start for the theatre until 15 minutes after 8 o’clock. Speaker Colfax was at the White House at the time, and the President stated to him that he was going,
although Mrs. Lincoln had not been well, because the papers had announced that he and General Grant were to be present, and as Gen. Grant had gone North he did not wish the audience to be disappointed. He went with apparent reluctance, and urged Mr. Colfax to go with him, but that gentleman had made other arrangements ... (Here follows a lengthy description of the simultaneous assassination attempt on Secretary of State William Seward that left him wounded.) Secretaries Stanton and Welles and other prominent officers of the government called at Secretary Seward’s house to inquire into his condition, and there heard of the assassination of the President. They then proceeded to the house where the President was lying, exhibiting, of course, intense anxiety and solicitude. An immense crowd was gathered in front of the President’s house (the White House), and a strong guard was also stationed there, many persons supposing that he would be brought to his home.
The entire city to-night presents a scene of wild excitement, accompanied by violent expressions of the profoundest sorrow. Many shed tears. The military authorities despatched mounted patrols in every direction, in order, if possible, to arrest the assas-
Wikipedia
sins. The whole metropolitan police are likewise vigilant for the same purpose. ... Vice-President Johnson is in the city headquarters, and guarded by troops. (Lincoln’s death at 7:22 a.m. on April 15 was reported by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.)

German Nobel winning author Guenter Grass dies at 87 Associated Press
BERLIN - Guenter Grass, the Nobel-winning German writer who gave voice to the generation that came of age during the horrors of the Nazi era but later ran into controversy over his own World War II past and stance toward Israel, has died. He was 87. Matthias Wegner, spokesman for the Steidl publishing house, confirmed that Grass died Monday morning in a Luebeck hospital. Grass was lauded by Germans for helping to revive their culture in the aftermath
of World War II and helping to give voice and support to democratic discourse in the postwar nation. Yet he provoked the ire of many in 2006 when he revealed in his memoir “Skinning the Onion” that, as a teenager, he had served in the Waffen-SS, the combat arm of Adolf Hitler’s notorious paramilitary organization. In 2012, Grass drew sharp criticism at home and was declared persona non grata by Israel after publishing a prose poem, “What Must Be Said,” in which he criticized
what he described as Western hypocrisy over Israel’s nuclear program and labeled the country a threat to “already fragile world peace” over its belligerent stance on Iran. A trained sculptor, Grass made his literary reputation with “The Tin Drum,” published in 1959. It was followed by “Cat and Mouse” and “Dog Years,” which made up what is called the Danzig Trilogy - after the town of his birth, now the Polish city of Gdansk. Combining naturalistic detail with fantastical imag-
Guenter Grass
es, the trilogy captured the German reaction to the rise of Nazism, the horrors of the war and the guilt that lingered after Adolf Hitler’s de-
feat. The books return again and again to Danzig, where Grass was born on Oct. 16, 1927, the son of a grocer. In the trilogy, Grass drew partly on his own experience of military service and his captivity as a prisoner of war held by the Americans until 1946. “The Tin Drum” became an overnight success — a fact that Grass told The Associated Press in 2009 surprised him. Asked to reflect why the book became so popular, he noted that it tackles one of the most daunting periods of
German history by focusing on the minutiae in the lives of ordinary people. Then he quipped: “Perhaps because it’s a good book.” Three decades after its release, in 1999, the Swedish Academy honoured Grass with the Nobel Prize for literature, praising him for setting out to revive German literature after the Nazi era. With “The Tin Drum,” the Nobel Academy said, “it was as if German literature had been granted a new beginning after decades of linguistic and moral destruction.”
