Take a walk along the Dynamiters Walk of Fame

A lot has been done over the past two years C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

A couple of years ago several longtime Kimberley Dynamiter fans got together to begin planning a way to commemorate the team that has meant so much to Kimberley’s history. The plan was to gather as much Dynamiter memorabilia as possible — from old jerseys to equipment to photos — and display it at the Civic Centre. Today, a lot of volunteer hours, some detective work to track down items and some timely donations later, there are eight cabinets on display at the Civic Centre, documenting the history of the famous

franchise through its senior years, 1925 to 1988. This past winter special evenings were held at Dynamiter games to honour past stars such as Grizzly Jones, Frank Sullivan, Harry Brown, Cowboy McTeer, Dick Vincent and more. While the displays are looking very good, more memorabilia is always welcome. If you happen to stumbled across any old Dynamiter-related items in an attic or basement, give Aurel Beaudin a call at 250-427-2980. The Society wishes to acknowledge the financial assistance of the Columbia Basin Trust and Teck. Teck, formerly Cominco, was a big part of Dynamiter history as 90 per cent of Dynamiter players worked at the Sullivan Mine.

Motorists advised to note crosswalk change Marysville crosswalk moved C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Motorists are asked to be mindful of a slight change to a crosswalk location in Marysville. As of last Thursday morning the cross walk across Highway 95A at Marysville School has been moved to the arena side of the road.

This, says Wayne Pelter, District Principal for Health & Safety for the Rocky Mountain School District, makes a lot of sense as students can now cross directly onto the designated bike path that leads to the Rails to Trails. Not only that, but by moving a little further south on the highway, the crossing guard will be more visible. This will mean a bit of a change for parents parking at the school to pick up and drop off students. Parents are asked to park across

the street and not along the school fence as that is now the student’s walking route. Motorists are asked to be cautious because although the signage has been moved, the new crosswalk markings on the highway have yet to be painted. Police have been asked to pay a little more attention to the area as motorists adapt to the change and the City’s bylaw officer will be enforcing the new no parking area.
