Economic development officer Ken Veldman, Terrace tourism coordinator Maria McGowan and others pulled out the .stops to help ensure things went smoothly. **We don’t have the kind of money to go. on some kind of promotional campaign to get this kind of an audience,’ Veldman said, noting the show opened with a 30-second montage on the cvening’s news?” he noted, “Heritage Park got some great coverage. And the town as a whole certainly did.”* Coverage touched on land claims, ef- forts to create a museum commemorating 2 nuclear bomber crash, and yes, the kermode bear. Veldman characterized the coverage as largely positive, giving the rest of the pro- vince a better idea of what’s here. . Where do most of our businesses and newcomers come from?

Centre official = Pat Schindel said the Northern Lights service to Smithers means there won’t be leng- thy delays in getting test results and medical person- nel will continue to have a fast way in and out of the area. ; Dease Lake residents were worried about quality of life and essential services when Central Mountain Airlines announced earlier this year it was pulling its scheduled service the end of October. “This means we can get relief for our . single physician by having a locum (a doctor on temporary duty) fly in on Monday and leave on a Friday,’’ said Schindel.. “‘This’.way our. doctor won't be on call every day and he can be speiled off going to Iskut, Telegraph Creek and Good Hope Lake.” Air service resumes _ | tonorthern community Smithers and Dease Lake is approximately one hour and five minutes.

Company general manager Mark Holenstein said sched- uled service will comple- ment charter operations al- ready offered by Northern Lights in the north. "We have a base already at Dease Lake and at Wat-. son Lake,’’ he said.
