A R N E P E T RYS H E NOn Sunday, Cran-

brook RCMP arrested a man that was wanted in the U.S by the FBI.

Staff Sgt. Hector Lee said an off-duty officer

spotted the wanted man near the 2100 block of Cranbrook Street North on Sunday afternoon. The off-duty officer then put in a call to the detachment

while he kept his eye on the subject, until police arrived and he was taken into custody without incident.

The 28 year old male, identified as Keir

Anthony Grosse-Rhode, was taken into custody by on duty Cranbrook RCMP members without inci-dent. Grosse-Rhode is facing charges in Cana-

da and is also wanted in the United States.

Lee said the man had fled from police a number of times in the past week and a half, so they have been actively

looking for him. “He just had immi-

gration warrants put out for being in the country illegally, and he was facing assault charges from a recent

incident here,” Lee said. “We’re just liais-ing with the Canada Border Services Agency and Immigration to have this fellow on a one-way trip back to the U.S.”

The arrest was car-ried out at 3:15 p.m. on Sunday.

Staff Sgt. Lee also provided information on calls to service over the week. From Mon-day, Nov. 16 at 6 a.m. to Monday, Nov. 23 at 6 a.m. there were 109 calls for service.

Cranbrook RCMP handed out four Imme-diate Roadside Prohibi-tions.

Officers responded to six mental health calls, four of which re-sulted in apprehension and the subject was brought to the hospital for further assessment.

There were seven motor vehicle acci-dents, and one hit and run.

“Which is higher than usual,” Lee said, adding he attributes some of that to the weather last week. “We had a few accidents on the 17th after that bit of a snow.”

A number of the ac-cidents involved vehi-cles hitting ice, others involved careless driv-ing and included charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. None of the accidents resulted in serious in-juries.

One occurred due to ice on the bridge at the Fort Steele turnpike on the morning of Nov. 18. A truck hit the icy bridge deck and went off the road. The driver was not injured.

RCMP responded to seven assault com-plaints over the past week, three of those re-sulted in arrests. Two of calls were domestic in nature.

Winter may finally be com-ing to the East Kootenay.

Doug Lundquist, Environ-ment Canada meteorologist said the coming snow is the start of colder temperatures coming this weekend.

Lundquist said they expect between seven and 15 centime-tres of snow from the storm be-fore it ends in the early after-noon Tuesday.

He added winds are expect-

ed to change to the north, bringing with it an arctic front to the area.

“We’re expecting that arctic air will settle in over the valley and there might be tempera-tures by the weekend into the minus 15 degree range,” he said.

He said the warmup period is not yet in the forecast.

“It may just be early next week, but I would hazard to guess that,” he said.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYChristmas is the season

of giving and receiving and the Salvation Army is en-couraging local residents and businesses to get in-volved with their Christ-mas Hamper program.

The hamper program has a two-fold part to it; the first being the hampers of food and toys that people

can apply for, while the second part is the Adopt-a-Family initiative.

The Salvation Army is accepting financial dona-tions as well as toys to in-clude with the hampers, which typically include ei-ther a ham or turkey, stuff-ing, kraft dinner, beans, peanut butter, margarine, eggs, pancake mix, frozen

vegetables, milk, bread, potatoes and oranges.

Anyone interested in being a recipient of a Christmas Hamper can stop by the Salvation Army and make an appointment, as candidates and families are assessed based on their need.

Christmas gifts!F o r t h e to w n s m a nThe preservation of a collec-

tion of historical records be-longing to early East Kootenay homesteader and government agent Michael Phillipps is being supported by Columbia Power.

Columbia Power provided a $3,000 sponsorship to the Ktu-naxa Nation Council to aid in

the archival accession and digi-tization of letters and other doc-uments that range in date from 1867 to 1916.

Phillipps married Rowena David, daughter of Tobacco Plains chief Paul David and had twelve children. Michael Phil-lipps’ correspondence and gov-ernment materials were provid-

ed to the Ktunaxa Nation Coun-cil by a Phillipps’ descendant.

“We are very pleased to be able to assist the Ktunaxa Nation Council Archives in their work to catalogue and digitize these documents,” says Audrey Repin, Director of Stakeholder and Ex-ternal Relations for Columbia Power.

above what we do.“Some will just do

the toys and we will do the hampers so it’s a whole variety of things.”

The Salvation Army is accepting both finan-cial donations and non-perishable food items for the Christmas Hamper program. Any donations that don’t end up getting used within the program are

distributed to other areas such as hot lunch-es for schools.

Financial donations can be made through the Christmas Kettle program or directly at the Salvation Army of-fice at 533 Slater Rd. For more information about the Christmas Hamper program or to adopt a family, call 250-426-3612.

For the townsmanTo best ensure free

flow of traffic through al-leys around the City, es-pecially for City garbage trucks, Public Works staff will be busy pruning trees off and on through the winter months.

Public Works will only be pruning to the property line and where possible will be using proper pruning tech-niques, but will not cross the property line to make a proper cut.

Any vegetation on the City side of the property line will be pruned; how-ever staff will use their best judgement and only prune what is needed. If you wish to have your landscape maintained to a higher degree, you must do the pruning yourself or hire a profes-sional.

“In some cases peo-

ple have allowed their tree or hedge to grow be-yond what is considered acceptable for vehicles to pass safely and the vegetation will need to be cut back,” says Mathew Pocock, Parks Foreman with City of Cranbrook Public Works. “We are not intending to remove a homeowner’s attempt at creating some screening for their yards, but in some cases we will have no choice.”

In many areas of the City residents have also allowed yard waste and branches pile up in al-leys. Public Works will not be removing or chip-ping that material, as often these piles include rocks, soil and other de-bris, which dulls the blades of the chipper and can cause the ma-chine to malfunction.

The City’s Streets &

Traffic Bylaw requires that homeowners keep the alleys clear of waste material of any descrip-tion, partially to ensure free flow of traffic through those areas as there needs to be enough space for a City garbage truck with its hopper open to pass freely.

It is also important to note that the City does not prune vegetation

overgrowing onto City sidewalks, unless it is coming from a City owned tree or shrub. Please help keep your sidewalks clear of any obstructions all year long including vegeta-tion growth, snow and ice.

If you have any ques-tions, please contact Public Works at 250-489-0218.

Public Works undertaking tree pruning in alleys this winter

In years past, any-where from 250-300 hampers are distribut-ed to families through-out Cranbrook.

Within the Christ-mas Hamper program is the Adopt-a-Family initiative as well, where residents or businesses can pro-vide a hamper and toys for a specific fam-ily that goes through the application pro-cess.

The Adopt-a-Fami-ly program is a little different in that the families approved provide ages, genders, clothing sizes and a wish list from the kids to the Salvation Army and whoever adopts the family can do the gift-shopping, accord-ing to Major Linda Green, with the Salva-tion Army.

“There are people around town, busi-nesses around town, agencies around town who will adopt a fami-ly. They will raise money and adopt a family and they will pick…they will go out and buy the hampers, buy the gifts for them,” Green said.

Whoever adopts a family will have some guidance from the Sal-vation Army as well, Green added.

“We will show them and give them what our minimum is, what we will do for each family, so some people will adopt a complete family, do the food and the toys and normally they go

For the townsman

E veryone experiences a fall now and then. While most falls do

not cause serious injury, oc-casionally we are reminded of how even a simple fall from standing can be catastrophic. Indeed, falls from standing height are the most common cause of inju-ry-related hospitalizations across the lifes-pan and the number one cause of injury-re-lated deaths in older adults. Falls are espe-cially devastating among older adults caus-ing over 90% of hip fractures and wrist frac-tures, and 60% of head injuries.

There is no single reason why people fall. A fall usually occurs when several risk factors happen at the same time. For ex-ample, if you walk down the hallway in your home at a normal pace during the day, there is little chance you will fall. But if it is the middle of the night and there are no lights on, and you are rushing to get to the bathroom, your chances of falling are much greater.

Many risk factors are within our control to change. Some people believe that falls are a normal part of aging, that no matter what they do, falls can’t be prevented, or that it won’t happen to them.

The truth is, falls are not a normal part of aging. There are many things you can do to prevent falls.

Keep your body activeBeing active is one of the most import-

ant ways to lower your chances of falling. It makes you stronger and helps you feel better. Activities that improve balance and coordination (like Tai Chi) are the most helpful. You are less likely to fall if you have strong muscles and good balance.

Have your eyes checked by an optometrist once a year

Poor vision can increase your chances of falling. Have your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. You may be wearing the wrong glasses or have a condi-tion like glaucoma or cataracts that limits your vision. Also, clean your glasses often and be aware that the risk of falling outside and on stairs is increased when wearing

bifocals or progressive lenses.

Have your doctor or pharmacist review your medications

Some medications can increase your chances of falling if you experience nega-tive side-effects, interactions between drugs, or errors in following prescription directions. Sedatives, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs can reduce men-tal alertness, worsen balance and gait, cause dizziness or drowsiness, and cause drops in blood pressure while standing.

Have your doctor or pharmacist review all the medicines you take (even over-the-counter medicines) and tell them if the medications you are taking are making you drowsy or dizzy.

If you are taking blood thinners (e.g. Coumadin) and have a bump or blow to the head, you should be seen immediately by a health care provider due to increased risk of internal bleeding.

Make your home saferThe majority of falls happen in our own

homes while performing normal daily ac-tivities. Falls are often due to home haz-ards that are easy to overlook but easy to fix. To make your home safer:

Remove small throw rugs or use dou-ble-sided tape to keep the rugs from slip-ping.

Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool.

• Have grab bars put in next to your toilet and in the tub or shower.

• Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors.

• Place a lamp close to the bed where it’s easy to reach.

• Put in a night-light so you can see where you’re walking.

• Hang light-weight curtains or shades to reduce glare.

• Have handrails and lights put in on all

staircases.• Wear shoes both in-

side and outside the house. Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers.

Through the month of November, Safe Communities Cranbrook has been hosting its second annual Fall Prevention Aware-ness Campaign. Local partners, volun-teers and service providers have hosted activities, workshops, meetings and social gatherings to bring attention to the signifi-cant risks associated with falls, and more importantly, to share simple things we can do to reduce them.

This year’s activities run until Friday, November 27. Pick up a copy of the sched-ule at the information table in Tamarack Centre (Winners end, near Peoples Jewel-ers).

For general online information about falls prevention go to www.findingbal-ancebc.ca

About Safe Communities Cranbrook (SCC):

Safe Communities Cranbrook has been a longstanding Cran-brook committee of organizations dedicat-ed to reducing injuries and improving safety for Cranbrook citizens. Through Community research we have identified 3 injury priority categories that are the focus of our community work, they are: Suicide, Falls and Transportation. Our committee works to:

• Address local safety concerns• Create safety awareness and • Reduce injuries of Cranbrook citizensSafe Communities Cranbrook meets

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2015

T he fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the

opposition NDP agreed to turn out the en-ergy-efficient lights and head for home.

NDP leader John Horgan skipped the last day and headed to the B.C. Institute of Technology campus in Burnaby. There he announced “PowerBC,” billed as the NDP’s “bold, progressive plan for the fu-ture of B.C. energy, with a strong focus on jobs.”

Reporters asked, how many jobs? Horgan said retrofitting public buildings and homes for energy efficiency would create jobs all around the province, but he can’t say how many.

How much does the plan cost, and does it include subsidizing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation? “The cost-ing will be more apparent when we get closer to the election,” Horgan replied.

Whatever the cost, the NDP plan appar-ently rests on the assumption that the $9 billion Site C dam project on the Peace River can be stopped by an NDP govern-ment after the 2017 election. That money would be used to build wind and solar generation, and to install a sixth and final water turbine at Revelstoke dam.

The chances of Site C being stopped are approaching zero. Construction of an ac-

cess road started two months ago, site clearing and work camp construction a month before that. Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the main dam construction contract will be let shortly, followed by the powerhouse contract next year.

Horgan said remaining legal challenges could slow or stop the project.

The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations have lost their case against Site C twice, in the B.C. Su-preme and Federal Courts, and are appealing. The Doig

River and McLeod Lake Indian Bands dropped their challenges, and McLeod Lake’s construction company has started work on a Site C contract.

West Moberly Chief Roland Willson staged a dramatic protest at the legislature last spring, bringing a cooler of frozen bull trout from a river below the two existing Peace dams, telling media they were too contaminated with mercury to eat.

Flooding land for hydro dams does ele-vate methylmercury levels in water, but BC Hydro provided me with the latest study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below feder-al guidelines for limiting consumption of commercially sold fish.

It’s an odd coincidence that Willson

suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C.

A coalition of U.S. and Canadian envi-ronment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy be-cause the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook.

They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas.

BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmis-sion line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland.

If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost.

Taylor rocc aHockey fans in Cran-

brook were witness to the stellar performance of rookie goaltender De-clan Hobbs this past week and folks around the Western Hockey League took notice too.

Monday afternoon, Hobbs, 17, was named the WHL’s nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week honours after going 1-1-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and .957 save percent-age this past week.

“He’s steady,” said Ice alternate captain Matt Alfaro Saturday night. “I know I trust him and I know the rest of the team does.”

Hobbs opened his week with a 39-save ef-fort Tuesday in a 2-0 loss to the Everett Silvertips.

From there, the 6-foot, 178-pound na-tive of Saskatoon earned his first-career WHL vic-tory by making 27 saves to backstop the Koote-nay Ice to a 2-1 triumph over the Swift Current Broncos Saturday night.

“It feels good to get that first one out of the way and hopefully there’s more to come,” Hobbs said Saturday’s. “It takes a load off my shoulders. I can feel bet-ter in the net now.”

En route to his first WHL win, Hobbs was called upon for a critical

penalty-shot stop against Broncos forward Cavin Leth late in the second period.

“I couldn’t be happier for the guy to finally get that [win],” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “We hav-en’t given him a lot of run support so he knows how good he’s got to be.

“He’s just so calm and composed right now.

“He’s controlling his rebounds really well and tracking really well. Our guys have full confi-dence in him in the net, which is nice.”

Hobbs is in his first full season with the Ice after making two ap-pearances during the 2014-15 campaign.

In 2015-16, the for-mer Saskatoon Contact is 1-4-1-0 with a 3.44 GAA and .900 SP.

In 10 career WHL ap-pearances, Hobbs is 1-4-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .896 SP.

The Ice selected Hobbs in the third round (53rd overall) of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

In addition to naming Hobbs as the league’s nominee for CHL Goal-tender of the Week, the WHL named Tyson Bail-lie of the Kelowna Rock-ets as Player of the Week.

In three games, Bail-lie recorded three goals and seven points to help his Rockets go 3-0-0.

Dynamiters captain Jason Richter battles in front of Ghostriders goaltender Jeff Orser Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Orser and the Ghostriders snuck past the host Nitros 3-2 in overtime.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Hockey fans got some serious bang for their buck this weekend as KIJHL action at the Kimberley Civic Centre required overtime to reach decisions both Friday and Sunday.

Friday night, it was the Fernie Ghostriders (13-9-0-2) scoring a 3-2 overtime win against the host Kimberley Dy-namiters (19-3-0-3), claiming round two of the clubs’ Eddie Moun-tain Division rivalry.

In Sunday matinee play at the Civic Centre, the Dynamiters scraped out a 3-2 overtime win of their own, edging the visiting Sicamous Eagles (5-17-0-3).

“I thought we played extremely well. For a while there it looked like it was going to be anoth-er one of those games where I thought we dominated play and a goalie beat us,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, Sunday af-ternoon. “[Kolby Pau-wels] played phenome-nal. But we stuck with it.

“I thought we cycled the puck well. It was a really good game for us.”

While the Nitros came out with two points from Sunday, that outcome was never certain as the two clubs went back-and-forth before California prod-uct Keenan Haase lit the lamp 28 seconds into overtime, scoring a feel-good goal to give his team the win.

“We needed to win that game,” Haase said Sunday.

“I’m glad my parents got to see a goal there this weekend, as they’re here.

“It definitely gives me a bunch of drive, es-pecially with them mak-ing that long flight from California. I’ve got to play my best for them now that they’re there [in the crowd]. The mo-tivation was there and I just went with it.”

In the opening stages of overtime, the native of Mission Viejo, Calif., collected a puck down low in the corner before wheeling out untouched in front of Eagles goal-tender Kolby Pauwels and unleashing a hot shot over the netmind-

er’s shoulder.“Keenan looks like a

man amongst boys out there,” Bancks said. “He always wins puck battles, he stays on top of the puck. He’s a tremendous player and he’s learning now to work hard to sup-port the ‘D’ men.

“You can argue he’s the best centreman in the league, in my opin-ion. He’s like a power centreman, which is kind of the new rage in hockey. I think he’s got a bright future.”

For Haase, having family in the crowd wasn’t his only motiva-tion to be the overtime catalyst Sunday.

With a 2-1 lead on the board midway through the third peri-od, the 6-foot-2 power forward ultimately scored the primary as-sist on the tying goal for Sicamous as his errant pass sprung Danny O’Donnell in alone on Tyson Brouwer for the game-tying goal.

“Don’t pass to the other team for break-aways,” Haase said of the greatest lesson he took from Sunday’s win.

“I let the second goal in. That was purely my fault.”

The tying goal from O’Donnell eliminated the Nitros’ second one-goal advantage of the game, which had been conveniently provided by Taber, Alta., product Austyn Moser less than two minutes earlier.

Veteran 20-year-old Eric Buckley opened the scoring in the first period and Eagles defenceman Alex Astasiewicz round-ed out the scoring with a second-period tally.

Brouwer turned aside 22 shots for his KIJHL leading 15th win of the season, while Pauwels was rock solid on 32 of 35 shots in the Eagles’ net.

Friday night’s loss saw the Dynamiters sur-render a 2-0 lead as the Ghostriders scored three consecutive to steal the bonus point.

Nitros captain Jason Richter opened the scor-ing in the first period, be-fore Trevor Van Stein-burg doubled the advan-tage early in the third.

After that, Fernie captain Cole Keebler took over, spurring the

visitors to victory. The 20-year-old na-

tive of Calgary set up Zach Befus for the ‘Rid-ers first goal, before knotting the game with 2:07 to play in regulation.

Finally, Keebler com-pleted the comeback win for Fernie by depos-iting a power-play mark-er into the back of the net in overtime.

“We’ve got to learn to take everyone in this league serious this time

of year,” Bancks said. “This league improves. Every team improves.

“It gets better and you can’t take anybody lightly. You have to strive to get better.

“I don’t want any-body to be able to out-work us.”

The weekend brought about KIJHL debuts for a trio of Nitros affiliate players (AP).

Friday, 16-year-old Terrell Clarricoates

(Cranbrook) and 15-year-old Caige Ster-zer (Kimberley) made their Dynamiter debuts, while Rylan D’Etchever-rey (Kimberley) skated as an AP Sunday.

The Dynamiters will get back to work this week when they travel to Invermere to face the Columbia Valley Rockies (14-13-0-0) Friday be-fore hosting the Spokane Braves (4-19-0-4) Satur-day at the Civic Centre.

How you deal with others defines who you are. Be ready to head in a new direction, even if you don’t want to. Ultimately, you will see the wisdom of let-ting go of what doesn’t work. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. BORN TODAY Author William F. Buckley Jr. (1925), former U.S. President Zachary Taylor (1784), actress Katherine Heigl (1978)

Dear Annie: I have been married for 50 years and don’t think I can stand one more day. The man I am married to was once everything to me. Now, as each day passes, I grow more resentful. I like him less and less, almost to the point of hatred. He has always been a good provider. He worked while I stayed at home and raised our five children. Back then, I would never have expected him to come home and help around the house. But things are different now. It’s just the two of us and our animals. We are in our mid-70s, and I am still doing all of the work inside this large five-bedroom house. He refuses to help with anything. He lies on the sofa and channel surfs while I do everything. There is nothing physically wrong with him. His doctor says he’s in great shape. He shows no sign of mental decline, either. Downsizing to a smaller home is not an option for him. He likes it here. I have told him how I feel time and again, and that I’d like his help around the house, but he just looks at me. Maybe he wants a divorce and is too cowardly to verbalize it. In any event, I am past the point of caring. I just want out. -- Old and Trapped Dear Trapped: Your husband may not want out. He may simply want to sit on the sofa while you do all the work. And you are doing it, so he sees no reason to change. You have some options: You can stop doing the cooking, cleaning and laundry for him, letting his clothes pile up and his food remain uncooked; you can look into hiring help; you can get counseling; you can seek legal counsel and leave, with or without a divorce. If your husband values the marriage, he will step up. If he doesn’t, at least you will know and can plan your future accordingly. Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Need Some Relief,” I thought I’d share how our family handles Christmas with four adult children and their spouses, 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren (and an occasional visiting in-law). Dinner is at our house every year. Everyone participates by graciously bringing a dish. One son’s family prepares the turkey, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Another brings all the drinks. We prepare stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. Others bring apple and pumpkin pies. Traditional! We discuss dishes in advance, so there are no duplicates. It is such fun and each family feels good about sharing. New recipes are exchanged. We also decided to forego gift-giving and do a $5 Christmas exchange. We all sit in a circle holding our “special number,” anxiously awaiting our turn to pick the wrapped gift of our choice. Even the little ones screamed with delight, not at the gift, but because everyone was laughing and clapping. What a joyous occasion. Last, but not least, I insist on a group picture with everyone holding up their prized possessions. There is always a huge smile on each face. Because in the end it is being together that really matters. -- Happy in Florida Dear Happy: Your letter is refreshing. This is what holidays are all about. Or should be.

of establishing an endowment fund supporting local people with chronic and persistent mental health challenges and addictions. The Melodie

Hull Fund for Mental Health was established in 2008 with $500. Having now surpassed $10,000, it will begin granting back to the

community in 2016. The CDCF will ensure Melodie’s fund serves the community as she envisioned, and will do so forever.

Get ready for winter

because the eternal ques-tion is whether your party and your efforts can only help the NDP.

DB: On the contrary, I think what we’re doing is critical to the health of B.C.’s political system. We need Conservatives in that legislature. It’s more important now than ever before. This is the opportunity to make wholesale change in B.C. It’s always been the lesser of two evils, the NDP and the Liberals. With a Conservative al-ternative, this is a chance to change the whole province.

TF: What’s the first thing you would change?

DB: Let’s strengthen our democracy right off the bat by banning cor-porate and union dona-tions. That would take a lot of the power out of the hands of big unions

win that election in 2017. I’m touring the province to listen to British Columbians so we can develop a plat-form that really speaks to what they want to see in the next government, and with the platform and candidates in place, we’re going to be pre-pared well in advance.

TF: The B.C. Liberals have a big push on for industrial development, particularly in the North. Do you support what they’re doing there?

DB: I support some aspects of what they’re doing. The liquefied natural gas dream, if it ever comes to fruition, I think is a good thing for B.C. I support pursuing that dream.

But the B.C. Liberals have really neglected northern communities, and the reason is you’ve got communities that are in decline. You’ve got population declines, schools closing.

You’ve got a timber supply that’s in crisis, and they’re a decade be-hind in dealing with that crisis. They’ve been solely focused on LNG and they’ve excluded all the other economic op-portunities in northern B.C. And that’s the prob-lem with the B.C. Liber-als up there.

We’ve got to get a new economic vision for the North, for the Interi-or, that’s going to see a diverse economy, sec-ondary value-added manufacturing, that looks at how we’re going to sustain communities long term, and not just a one-off, one project that’s going to result in

short-term employment for construction and then a couple of people in operations.

TF: Gas-fired genera-tion is how Fort Nelson runs, and always has. You would consider more of that?

DB: We are recruiting candidates, and we’re in the process of finding people who are going to help us build a better province, and help us
