Shortage of Doctors Maintains Strain in Chetwynd
In Chetwynd the two locally admitted physicians are stretched thin as a Fort St. John doctor covers weekends at a cost of about 500 dollars. Hospital leaders seek financial help while a 65 year old physician cannot work there, and two South African doctors cancelled their plans, delaying replacements amid a complex licensing and immigration process. The council and hospital board plan a Wednesday meeting to address the crunch.

Horse logging making a comeback
Jimmy Gauthier guides two draft horses at a logging site between Hudson's Hope and Chetwynd. The team pulls a 40 foot log from the bush to the landing where several logs rest. Gauthier reins the animals, halts them, and instructs Reuben Walker to unhitch before the crew moves on to another log.
