VARS l No one was injured when a fire completely claimed a house at 1861 Div- ision Street in Vars on Saturday, March 29. The fire was called in at 5:18 p.m. in the early evening. It consumed the house and slightly damaged the house next door. The young family, including a nine-month-old baby, were not at home at the time. Fire of- ficials have not yet determined the cause. When firefighters arrived the fire was engaged and was upgraded almost im- mediately to a two-alarm fire. A ruptured gas line going into the house was leaking and on fire. To isolate the fire the gas line to that part of the village was shut down. The area, which included about 40 homes, was evacuated. Electricity in the area was also turned off for several hours. Both gas and power were restored overnight and people were allowed to return to their homes in the early hours of Sunday morning. Firefighters on the scene the next day said the young couple have lost everything, including baby items.

In a recent media release the hospital stated that balancing their 2014-15 budget was more difficult than in previous years as funding has not increased as much as ex- penses have. So the hospital is closing five beds on Complex Continuing Care and nine beds on the Medical/Surgical Unit. The En- hanced Care Unit will relocate adjacent to the Medical/Surgical Unit. Hospital CEO Boland said staff spent five months doing very complex planning and the budget reflects that. “The hospital is busier than ever and we admit more pa- tients all the time,” said Boland. “But people are not staying as long…closing these beds more patients all the time. “But people are not staying as long…
