A heritage home was burned while the owners were in Kamloops. The Coldwater avenue home of the Robertson family had a restored mine car from the Bralore mine where Jon Robertson works and was designated a heritage home by its age .

A contractor Nick Beers noticed the fire and helped by using a garden hose till the fire trucks responded.

Yesterday there were two Constables observed on bikes with short pants. The men were talking to a person in an undeveloped field on Garcia Street.

The Garcia street down town has been a concern for the law and council for illicit activities and gets attention from the Downtown policing station as well. A constable Tracey Dunsmore is the most active voice for the DPO and its activity about town which includes volunteers.

At 6:30 a hydro crew had the underground service bared and looking for a reason for electrical failure. This morning the same crew says it’s the transformer and it is not one of theirs. so its the stores problem, or the building owner.

No word on the condition of frozen and cooled produce and when it will reopen at this writing.

At 11:am a official said that there is a generator truck coming from Vancouver and refrigerated trucks for produce as well. Joan Nan is saying it is a matter of hours before reopening.
