Many thanks to Jody Barber and the DAF grad crew for helping to move 250 boxes of books donated to the Library to a secure storage area.
This task was completed in less than an hour by cheerful, workers. Great job!
The Two Sisters have opened a restaurant in the old Mountain View Restaurant site.
One of their menu items is a Bach Wrap, named after our mayor, Taylor Bachrach.
It consists of spicy beans and rice. Didn’t get to ask who chose the ingredients.
A conversation revealed a second house on the Telkwa High Road that is suspected of being haunted.
Items left in the house look like the last owners just got up from the table and left, leaving everything behind.
Heard about an old gentleman who used the newspaper as a place mat at the table, after a meal he would just remove that page and have a clean page for the next meal. Economy at its very best indeed.
I am a great worrier, will seek out things to worry about.
The word worry comes from the old English “wyrgan” meaning “to strangle”
I’m sure you’ve heard about the grant, recently approved, going towards building our ice arena.
The town has a survey allowing everyone young and old to participate in providing information/wants/needs regarding the project.
Spread the word; find the survey on Mayor Bachrach’s or Councillor Brienesse’s facebook page or Smithers.ca, or at Town Hall.
