The people at Ardew were informed at 5 o’clock this morning Saturday 13/13 that they were all laid off. The mill was being taken over by Aspen Planners after being acquired by them. The Ardew Mill is old tech without J bar sorter.:*

The consolidation sees AP in control of the Weyerhaeuser operation and the Ardew operation , leaving one other lumber producer here; Tolko Industries a private company that also had its start as a family business.
Other small mills include NMV and pine Ideas as specialty lumber manufacturers.

The crescent moon on the bottom of the orb was beautiful to see last night and a source in the first nations community says that is a Hobiyee. She said that the more pronounced the spoon effect of the crescent the better an omen for a good year is.
The word Hobiyee according to the source is a first nation word from a northern area about Kitwanga. Thats the Prince Rupert area of north western British Columbia.
An interpretation of the moon is that it will be agood year, which may be in conflict with the Chinese lunar new year that begins the year of the snake as some see that as not a good year. However some good celebrations are planned by the Niska nation: Say’tKilim-Goot ( one heart, one path, one nation) at Gitwinksihlkw BC, at the TS’oohl memorial center February 22 and 23,2013.
The Niska nation is the first nation group that got a treaty from the Canadian government that includes some self-government and taxation authority some years ago and is being monitored for results.
