Kimberley’s Atom A Dynamiters are the latest team to do the hometown proud, bringing home the Atom A Banner. The players and parents wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to the coaches for their time and effort. Charlie Cooper, Shane Murray, Cory Miller, and Darren Close worked with players throughout the season to develop a strong team, which went largely undefeated. The commitment paid off when they won all four of their games in the East Kootenay Banner playoffs held March 2 and 3 at the Civic Center. These are only some of the individuals that make Kimberley what it is.
Opting out of rental covenants C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Kimberley City Council has agreed to let another condo at Sullivan Stone opt out of the rental covenant, but one Councillor thinks that may be a slippery slope. Coun. Albert Hoglund has opposed the idea before and voted against this motion as well. Properties under a rental covenant
must be available for rent through a bona fide property manager when not being utilized for personal use. Most of Kimberley’s ski hill condos are under this covenant. Hoglund is concerned that if too
Coun. Albert Hoglund
many properties are given permission to opt out of the rental covenant, there will be nothing to stop others from asking for the same consideration. “If we allow all of Sullivan Stone to come out of the rental covenant, there is nothing to stop others. I just think we’re doing the wrong thing.” However, Coun. Jack Ratcliffe argued in favour, saying there were plenty of available rental units, especially at the resort core.
Kimberley Summer Theatre is back, after a one year hiatus, and prepared to mount a very ambitious season. The KST Board is planning two plays at two different venues this year — a musical, the Wizard of Oz at McKim Theatre, and the comedy Self Help at Centre 64 Theatre. The Board has hired Tony James from Victoria to produce both shows. James has worked 30 years in the theatre business and is looking forward to a summer in Kimberley. Auditions have already been held at the performing arts colleges in Vancouver and Victoria, and locals will have an opportunity to audition this Sunday, March 10 at Centre 64. With two shows being cast, a variety of roles are being looked for, from chorus for the musical to children’s roles to leads and extras. “We will begin with the children’s roles on March 10,” James said. “The auditions begin at 1:30 so if parents could have their children there at about 1:15ish. Then
we’ll go on to adult roles after the children.” These will be standard auditions. Children should have a short dance routine prepared, as well as a song. For adults, please bring a resumé and head shot, be prepared to perform one song of your choosing, a monologue, one song from the Wizard of Oz and be prepared to learn a short piece of choreography. Please wear appropriate dance and footwear. Following local auditions, there will be auditions in Calgary. “It’s quite a vast season and we want to pull a good cast together,” James said. “We want all levels of years and experience. It gives young people the chance to learn from older folks.” There are six full time, paid lead roles and two part time. There are also many smaller roles to fill out the cast. Announcements of audition results will be made by April 1. In addition to actors, Jones will be looking for key production personnel as well. “I’m looking for some paid positions, such as stage manager, set design, costume and props. And there are a lot of volunteer positions, maybe a photographer who can shoot the show, a videographer, makeup, hair.
