JulyFest

Bocce on the move Open House March 1 at Aquatic Centre CAROLYN GRANT Bulletin Editor

The JulyFest Committee, made up primarily of board members of the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, has some big changes in mind for JulyFest 2017, the primary one being location. Bocce and JulyFest central are

moving to Centennial Park, at least for this year. As many Kimberley residents are aware, with the construction of the new spray park on Rotary Drive, bocce is looking for a new home. After a lot of consideration of options, the decision has been made to host bocce at Centennial Park. “We were really down to two options,” said Kimberley Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery.

Pedestrian killed after being struck on Gold Creek Road Bulletin staff

An early morning collision near Cranbrook claimed the life of a man. A press release from the Cranbrook RCMP said that Cranbrook Emergency Services were called to a motor vehicle accident in the Gold Creek area at approximately 2:50 am

Sunday morning. Initial reports indicate that a pickup truck was travelling north on Gold Creek Road and struck a 28-year-old man walking along the roadway. Once on scene, it was determined that the victim died as a result of the collision. Police cannot speak to a cause or contribut-

ing factors as the incident continues to be investigated by Cranbrook RCMP and South East District Traffic Services. Anyone with further information about this investigation is urged to contact the Cranbrook RCMP (250489-3471) or Crimestoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Thoughts on the game with Ron MacLean TREVOR CRAWLEY

Ron MacLean was sharing a drink with Wayne Gretzky after the Canadians fell 2-0 to the Russians in the quarterfinals of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy. The Great One, who served as the executive director of Canada’s men’s hockey team, bemoaned the loss with

the longtime Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster. ‘If we just had [Scott] Niedermayer, we’d have been fine,’ Gretzky had lamented. Unfortunately for the Canadians, Niedermayer wasn’t available for the Olympic tournament as he was recovering from a knee injury. However, the follow-

ing NHL season, he won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks alongside his brother, Rob. Not a bad consolation prize. MacLean is chockfull of stories over a 30year broadcasting career heading up Hockey Night in Canada, as he stopped in Cranbrook this past weekend with the Rogers Hometown

Hockey Tour with cohost Tara Sloan and local NHL alumni. In an interview with the Cranbrook Townsman, MacLean spoke about the common themes as the tour criss-crosses Canada with stops in large cities and NHL markets to small towns in rural regions. See MACLEAN, page 4
