BCHL: Cranbrook Bucks split weekend games with Prince George

The Cranbrook Bucks split their weekend brace of games against the Prince George Spruce Kings Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13 and 14, as as exhibition pre-season continues.

Winter is just around the corner, so here the latest from Hugs & Slugs

Slugs: Huge slugs to the white Subaru, 9.10am Sunday, Nov 1st for keeping a Click'n Collect slot tied up at Super Store sorting your groceries, while several other vehicles were waiting. When it's that busy pull into a regular parking slot and sort to your heart's content. Be respectful.

The Trivia King: A great Canadian

In the midst of all the tumult, I wish to acknowledge the passage of Alex Trebek, who more than any other person I know only from TV was like an old friend.

November is the cruelest month, but at least we have …

A fortnight worth of Hugs and Slugs!

A summery blast of Hugs & Slugs to warm up October

Hugs: And "they" said it couldn't be done … Hugs and thanks to the friendly folks at Mister Tire. Two other facilities, which I've patronized for many years (one for over thirty years!), were unable to accommodate my need for same day service. Even though I was a new customer, you handled my tire changeover by the end of the day, allowing peace of mind before heading over multiple mountain passes to attend to a very important family matter. You get my vote!
