Garbage bylaw debate closes in on Chetwynd firms
Chetwynd business people voiced concerns at a October 19 meeting over new bylaw changes that charge per bin pickup. Under the revised system residential users subsidize commercial, with critics citing misuse of bins and cost for others. Directors propose locking bins as a solution, but officials worry about truck efficiency and frozen locks.

Province pulls plug on Powder King ski hill
Skiers lose Powder King as the province rejects a cash infusion required to keep the Pine Pass hill open this winter. Powder King, run by seven investors since 1991, faced $680,000 debt and needed $600,000 in repairs to operate. Receiver-manager Author Anderson Inc. assessed the cost, while M L A Jack Weisgerber notes the forgivable loan terms were altered by incomplete construction. The cabinet refused further provincial funding.
