| Tiger breeder eyes Idaho
Ledbetter did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Tuesday.Renzo said that if a resolution isn't reached at the April 21 review, he will continue with legal action against the department. He said he has the same rights as other zoos in the state."We want to save all the cats," he told the Idaho State Journal. "If we can save a cat, we're going to save it. There's also not that many Siberians left worldwide, and it's hard to keep count because they're so elusive and stay in forested areas. We need to keep a viable population of them because we're losing them."Renzo said that if the judicial review goes his way, he will open the "Tiger Pavilion" sometime this summer. He said a location hasn't been selected, but it will likely be between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot."It's a beautiful area," he said.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
We live in capitalist/socialist mixed society and how we mix this is very important, if you don't teach kids or heal people, why are your hands in my pockets. If you can't make it in the private free market then you don't deserve to exist, please find other work. I could see news like CBC being supported, as that is a necessary service, but CORNER GAS???? Why is my tax money going to CORNER GAS??? I though that show was a huge hit in the states, but still they get government handouts?? This is insanity.
No wonder Canadians taxes are so high and yet our health care system generally sucks. All of our money is going into private hands as 'subsidies' and 'levies' rather then to public institutions that need it.

Frail admits time running out in Hearts' bid to make top six
We know how good a team Motherwell are and we know that they are one of the teams we are chasing," he said."If we go there and get the victory then it obviously helps us close the gap. There's still not a lot in it. Obviously people always look at the league positions but in terms of points it's really still quite close. We showed in the three games prior to the Celtic match what we are capable of and I think at Parkhead we still managed to play some good football."If we keep playing away and keep fighting for one another then we will win more games than we will lose and hopefully make it a better end to the season than maybe a lot of people thought it would be." .

Bellview Grange, school at odds over easement
The Ashland Planning Commission was blindsided at its Tuesday meeting when it learned the Bellview Grange would not agree to a "perpetual easement" the Bellview Elementary School needs for parking and access through its property. Howard Barash, president of the Bellview Grange Board, told commissioners that he wants to work with the Ashland School Board to find an amicable solution to the problem and that the two boards currently are in negotiations with each other. He said he presented the school board with four alternative options, one being that the school district purchase all or part of the Grange's property. Commissioners John Fields and Michael Dawkins looked shocked when they heard the news. Commissioner Melanie Mindlin said, "I feel like this is coming out of left field." Tom Dimitre said he felt it was kind of late in the game to learn that there are property problems.
