Kimberley RCMP Sgt. has her doubts about decriminalization C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The Sensible Change Society of BC is undertaking the task of trying to get legislative change to decriminalize marijuana in this province. The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) endorsed a motion to support decriminalization for possession of marijuana in 2012, and now Sensible BC is looking to have them support the Sensible Policing Act. Municipalities across the province, including Kimberley, are being asked to pass a resolution of support for the motion. The premise is that arrests and charges for marijuana possession have more than doubled since 2005, without affecting rate of use, and that police resources could be used more wisely on other matters. On Monday evening, Kimberley City Council deferred discussion on whether to endorse the proposed legislation given that there were three Councillors away. Mayor Ron McRae suggested it be deferred until all of Council

While the last of the bocce players fought it out for the championship, the eyes of Festers turned to the Sullivan Challenge Longboard Race on Sunday afternoon. And while hurtling down a hill on a longboard may not be everyone’s idea of fun, as you can see above, the racers enjoyed it. See Page 10 for more from the Sullivan Challenge.

Summer Theatre ‘Self Help’ ends run C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The month of July is almost over, and summer is slipping away. And if you haven’t been to Centre 64 to catch Kimberley Summer Theatre’s hit show Self Help yet, you’d best make plans to do so in the next couple of days. The hit adult comedy has been playing to enthusiastic crowds this summer. Excellent Production! - Sharon Prinz -

shows left. Self Help closes on Saturday. The cast is already rehearsing for the next show, the family friendly Wizard of Oz which opens at McKim Theatre August 3 for a tenday run. But in the meantime, if you haven’t been to see Self Help, now is the time. The play features a married couple, both second rate theatre actors, who cast themselves as nationally renowned self help gurus. Their lives unravel in a farce as they
try to conceal a body and hold on to their falsely won fame. It’s a smart and sassy look at love and the self help industry and what this couple will do to stay on top. Producer Tony James couldn’t be happier with the season thus far, and hopes to end the Self Help run with a few full houses the rest of this week. Tickets for Self Help are $23, seniors $21 and are available at the Box Office at Centre 64.
