Like Lone Butte, Interlakes landfill site has experienced "dumping."
On Oct. 2, when the dump was closed, a heap of garbage was dumped at the mailboxes at the intersection of Horse Lake, Judson and Mahood Lake roads. Neighbours Monty Forster and Jim Sullivan cleaned up the mess, but there was nothing to determine who dumped it.
Residents are reminded that the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) wants to be notified when this happens, and will actually do the cleanup.
Card nights
Interlakes Community Association (ICA) reminds everyone that Saturday card nights recommence at Interlakes Hall Oct. 19 at 7 p.m.
Organizers are ready to teach you social (kitchen) bridge, or you can play any card game you wish, such as crib or hearts. There is a $2 drop-in fee for players, except for those playing poker who pay more. Card nights continue until April.
On Oct. 26, it will be Halloween night, when darts will be available, and snacks and goodies will be provided free of charge.
Remember that card nights are for adults only, as alcohol is available.
Halloween Stables
Thanks to a $375 gaming grant, a variety of non-threatening Halloween decorations have been purchased just for the little ones and two special stalls will be so decorated at Interlakes Rodeo Grounds Haunted Halloween Stables.
Remember to call Carolyn Charlton at 250-593-4582 if you wish to decorate a stall.
Public hearings
The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has scheduled two public hearings for Oct. 29 at Interlakes Hall.
The first, at 7 p.m., is for Paul Canavan who wishes to subdivide his 156-acre property at 7531 Cariboo Chalet Rd., Deka Lake, into five lots: one of five acres, one 15 acres, one 24 acres, one 45 acres and one 65 acres.
The second, at 7:30 p.m., is for the Goslings at 6892 Fawn Lake Rd. who want to rezone their 30-acre property from Tourist Commercial to Rural Residential. No sub-division is envisaged at this time, but the requested AR zoning would require lots of 10-acre minimum.
Magic seeds
Once again, Highway 24/lnterlakes Lions have provided magical pumpkin seeds for every child at Bridge Lake School.
These are very special hybrid seeds which produce only a certain child-sized pumpkin, which the children planted at school at the end of September. They are now earnestly watching and waiting for them to grow.
Celebrations
Many congratulations go to Celine and Paul Desaulniers on their 48th wedding anniversary today (Oct. 16).
