Kimberley’s Jared duToit has another big win under his belt, this time the BC Junior Boys Championship, won this past weekend in Revelstoke. Above, duToit receiving the victory trophy from Eric Breitkreuz, the tournament chair. Read all about in today’s Sports.
Brian Braconnier and Keith Farkas are very fortunate to be at home with their families tonight after a close encounter with a grizzly. “We are so thankful we’re sitting here, the two of us, making these statements,” said Farkas. “Rather than our wives writing our obituaries.” The two Fernie men who were attacked by a grizzly bear on Wednesday morning shared their story at a press conference late Thursday evening. Both men, in their mid thirties, were hik-
ing along a basin heading for the side of a ridge with heavy elk trails on Mount Proctor when a mother grizzly attacked. The men said what happened in 30 seconds seemed like an eternity. “I heard a growl and then we heard a second growl,” said Farkas. “Before we could even react, the grizzly was on us. She hit Brian in the back, knocked him over, took him downhill and out of my sight behind some shrubs. I couldn’t see what was going on. I could just hear him screaming my name and the bear growling. I saw a cub following her downhill and it was also growling. That’s when I reached for my (defender) shotgun that was strapped to the outside of my pack.”

Budding thespians can learn the basics at Theatre School C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Summer vacation is upon us and there are a number of summer camps offering Kimberley kids all kinds of interesting activities. But before you make your choice, consider Kimberley Summer Theatre’s offering — theatre camp. Kimberley Summer Theatre is once again providing activities for young thespians, this time in collaboration with Lisa Aasebo and her company Creative Monkeys. Aasebo is a Summer Theatre veteran and is appearing in the
comedy Self Help this summer. The are two separate week-long sessions provided this year, one for ages six to eight from July 15 to 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and one session for nine to 12 year olds from July 22 through 26, same times. The camps will both offer what Aasebo calls the five building blocks of acting; improv, clowning, mask, character study and scene study. “If you’ve ever performed on-stage, you realize there is more to being an actor than just putting on a costume and smiling,” Aasebo said.
The junior group will start with the basics of the ‘Fab Five’, and also enjoy a backstage tour of Kimberley Summer Theatre’s set of ‘Self Help’, complete with a question and answer session with the actors. The older group will delve deeper in the five building blocks, learning proper terms and techniques used by professional actors. Students will create scenes with these techniques and enjoy the same backstage access. Both camps will run out of The Kimberley United Church and Centre 64.
Assisting Aasebo will be a couple of local theatre vets who are performing at Fort Steele this summer. Cameron Lomon, a Kimberley native, has performed with KST and now is performing his second summer season at Fort Steele Heritage Town. Craig McCue, a Cranbrook native, is enjoying his third summer performing out at Fort Steele Heritage Town.
