5 YEARS AGO (2019): A member of the 100 Mile House hockey team that had beaten the Clearwater hockey team that evening had managed to become a victim of a brawl in a local pub there. The RCMP said that during the game, there were a couple of fights on the ice - a game which 100 Mile House won. At the bar, the 100 Mile group had been outside in a large group, joking and roughing around when team Clearwater, with players from Kamloops and Barriere, went outside and started arguing until a altercation broke out. At least 20 people were fighting and one male was on the ground unconscious for four minutes. He was a member of the 100 Mile House hockey club. The RCMP stated the investigation was ongoing.
10 YEARS AGO (2014): The South Cariboo Joint Committee discussed what was then on-going work for a "potential post-secondary training centre in 100 Mile House." Al Richmond, then chair of the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), alongside then District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall, stated there was key support for the project. The committee approached Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and had a "good initial response". The School District 27 (SD27) trustee could not attend - who was slated to go over the plan. Richmond stated that some SD27 trustee engagement was needed before anything could be presented to the SD27 board.
25 YEARS AGO (1999): A then new band by the name of Stubborn Puppets was formed - which consisted of three guitar players and a "bare-foot drummer." The four members who formed the band were guitarist and vocalist Marlon Dalpre, as well as guitarist and vocalist Colin Nickel, guitarist and vocalist Doug Maxwell, and finally, drummer Kelly Hussey. Many of the songs they played were of contemporary rock from the past five years - as well as old classic rock. They had several gigs lined up, such as one at Halloween in Little Fort, B.C., as well as a New Year's bash at the 108 Best Western Resort. They also had a new logo that was designed in a contest by high school students, which was won by Melissa Taylor - who took home the grand prize.
50 YEARS AGO (1974): Scheduled flights involving luxury furnished DC-3s with two lounge chesterfields, two licenced bars and four swivel chairs were set to have begun in the following month - according to then 108 manager Pat Corbett. Corbett stated that those flights would come as of a result of an acquisition of the luxury DC-3 with a 22 seat capacity. It all marked the end of a six-month effort by Corbett to secure air service for the 108 Mile Ranch. Northern Thunderbird, which at the time had operated a flight route from Prince George to Kamloops with stops in Quesnel and Williams Lake, did not stop at 108 due to the insufficient seating capacity that would be able to handle the additional traffic that would be generated there. They were involved with the meetings with Pat Corbett.
