Fire Destroys Alexis Creek Building

A fire destroyed a landmark building in Alexis Creek early Friday morning.

No information has been released as yet as to what caused the Happy Eater restaurant to catch fire, but the building was totally destroyed. Rain in the area contained the fire and prevented the fire from destroying more buildings.

The fire broke out at about 3 am and closed Highway 20 temporarily.

The restaurant had been closed for the last few years.

The BX Morning Show


I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
