A report is surfacing that at the public meeting of the Merritt Community Theater Society an appeal to local business to come up with three hundred thousand dollars to complete the option of the Coutlee street property for the proposed theater was presented. There was also information given that a Quilchena street property now being operated as a recycling yard would be needed to fulfill the off street parking requirements.

The option to purchase has a deadline for December 17th

Off street parking needs to be within 1000 feet of a development and is regulated by bylaw.

Snow

The weekend saw a lot of wind here probably gale force. At least one large tree was ripped up and half  of it on the ground. Cold weather and snow was right behind it. Last night snow fell again and is still on the ground of this 600 meter above sea level community.
Some lighting and thunder claps proceeded a power outage over most the city of circa 8000 here. Causing intersections to be under person direction instead of street lights.
Calm and clearing at mid morning.
Editors note: powerful weather can put in play a series of events that can bring people into danger. Think ahead.
