Springer Spaniel puppy Fauna gives Santa a big kiss during the annual Pet Pictures with Santa fundraiser Saturday at the Williams Lake Veterinary Hospital. More than $1,600 was raised for the SPCA thanks to the event.

The search for a missing woman ended sadly near Williams Lake this week.

On Monday, Dec. 2 the body of Susan Durham, a missing 59-year-old female from Vernon, was located on a remote logging road, off the West Fraser Road, said Barb McLintock of the BC Coroner’s Service Wednesday.

Durham was first reported missing on Nov. 9 by Quesnel RCMP after she left a Quesnel Hotel without her personal property and medication.

“She had ties to Vernon and Quesnel,” McLintock said.

“RCMP located Durham and her vehicle after receiving a report of a White Ford Explorer parked on a rural property outside of Williams Lake,” said Const. Lesley Smith, District Advisory NCO for North District Media Relations, in a press release Wednesday.

Police said foul play is not suspected and therefore the BC Coroner Service will be handling the investigation.

May this Christmas fill your hearts with peace and joy!

George Gonyer likely made a pretty good impression on his new neighbour Thursday.

Gonyer and his step-father, Ron Handfield, arrived to do some work on Gonyer’s new home on Hodgson Road when they noticed smoke billowing out of a trailer next door just after 1 p.m.

Handfield and Gonyer jumped into action to try to find the trouble, the same time the owner also arrived home.

“I didn’t know what to do,” said Gonyer. “I just threw some water on it and hoped the guy’s house wouldn’t burn down — especially this close to Christmas.”

Goyner said the Williams Lake Fire Department arrived

Community urged to stop violence against women Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Every day women and girls are assaulted in Williams Lake.

According to the Women’s Contact Society executive director Irene Willsie, who spoke passionately to city council Tuesday about the situation, 35 per cent of women have experienced violence in some form worldwide.

“Most assaults are not reported and it is very seldom front page news,” she said of the assaults. “It’s not talked about in restaurants, pubs and dinner parties.”

Willsie said violence is not only present in gangs, bars and poverty-stricken neighbourhoods, it’s thriving in sports locker rooms, board rooms, business meetings and most particularly on social media.

“Society needs to have the hard conversations about violence against women. We

can’t sterilize it, we can’t make it light, we need to talk candidly about it and that takes courage.”

Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown said he doesn’t think police will ever be able to accurately gauge the volume of crime related to domestic violence.

“Unlike an auto theft or a robbery where there’s a tangible measure where something is actually happened or missing, because it’s behind closed doors, the public is not able to witness that.”

The police strictly rely on reports from a neighbour hearing a noise and reporting or people in the community and stakeholders who learn of domestic violence through third hand information.

“I am positive about Williams Lake, the Irene Willsies (of the community) and other groups who have made strong efforts to make the community very

Feminism is not a dirty word, Willsie said.

“It’s not about making women better, it’s not about hating men, it’s not about blaming men. It’s about dignity, respect and opportunity.”

Society’s attitude about girls and women causes violence, not poverty, drugs and al-

cohol, she added.

“Violence isn’t caused because a woman gives someone a reason to smack her and sexual assaults are not caused because of what she’s wearing.”

In Williams Lake, the community is doing some things right when it comes to tackling violence against women, Willsie said.

There are services for

victims of violence and the RCMP are working with the community.

Over the past year an integrated case assessment team started up in Williams Lake. And while it takes a lot of work, there hasn’t been a dime of funding from the province, Willsie said.

“It’s being done because everybody involved in supporting

victims and keeping women and girls safe recognizes that a collaborative community based approach is a best practice.”

Other programs include the community team called the K-File committee that addresses domestic assault files, a violence awareness committee and Circles of Strength.

“We have these vigorous programs and will be looking at strategies in the near future to make our programs more efficient and focus on some gaps we may have,” Brown said.

Last month RCMP Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard, during in a crime report to city council, said by the end of Oct. 31, 76 spousal assaults had been reported to the police.

In 2012, 99 were reported in total.

The number of reports are down from 2012, but up from the numbers reported between 2008 and 2011.

Willsie told council

she is challenging men to be leaders and speak out against violence against women.

“Don’t ignore that comment about somebody’s skirt being short.

Don’t ignore those sexist jokes.”

Willsie said everyone has a role in stopping violence because the challenges implicate every community, in every nation in the entire world.It involves women and most pointedly men.

This year the Women’s Contact Society will take its Purple Ribbon campaign against violence against women to Lake City Secondary school’s campuses on Friday, Dec. 6.

Working in collaboration with School District 27 counsellors and the school’s leadership students the society will deliver a message on violence against women, Willsie said.

“It will be heard by about 300 students at the schools,” Willsie says.

City looks beyond policing to reduce crime The City of Williams Lake is part of a unified voice in northern British Columbia recognizing crime as a community issue, not just an RCMP issue.

Mayor Kerry Cook and Chief Administrative officer Darrell Garceau, as well as Williams Lake RCMP detachment commander Insp. Warren Brown participated in a Northern Crime Reduction Strategy meeting Nov. 28 in Prince George.

Leaders from seven communities — Williams Lake, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, and Quesnel participated in the meeting. The seven municipalities represented at the meeting are among the top 20 Canadian communities in the Crime Severity Index (CSI).

The group discussed common challenges and approaches to reducing crime.

It was shared that prolific offenders are a huge concern to communities. Strict conditions on their behavior while not in custody are required, and that from a policing perspective,

there are three prevailing trends: crime of opportunity, substance abuse, and prolific offenders.

The operations strategy branch for “E” Division is working on a strategic policy addressing crime within the province. This strategic policy will promote collaboration of a number of ministries, and is considering regional hubs for service integration. The policy will aim to establish best practices in community wellness initiatives that address community policing challenges.

“We are talking about a philosophical change to reducing crime,” says Mayor Kerry Cook.

“There needs to be a fundamental shift in how community policing is being addressed, and how communities need to look at community wellness. The province is considering an integrated, cross-ministry approach, which supports the community collaboration efforts in Williams Lake.

“Crime is tied to wellness, and we need to look at ways to improve broad community wellbeing, not just look to

the police and the justice system to address crime. Health, education, and recreation services are all factors in wellness.”

Parliamentary Secretary for Crime Reduction and veteran criminologist Dr. Dar-

ryl Plecas will bring the Premier’s blue-ribbon crime reduction panel to hold a roundtable consultation session in Williams Lake in January.

Stakeholders will have opportunities to discuss current crime reduction approaches in the con-

text of successes, challenges and gaps, as well as new opportunities.

REALTOR TIpS SELLING YOUR HOME DURING THE HOLIDAYS Christmas holiday season can be a great time to sell, if you are prepared. With gifts and decorations a major part of the holiday season, a home can quickly become cluttered; too many personal items can interfere, and on the flip side a home without any decorations can seem bleak.

If you don’t celebrate Christmas, simply aim for a happy cheerful atmosphere.

Organizing outdoor decorations with colorful figurines on your lawn and small white lights on trees or boughs look festive and will help display you’re landscaping.

Small white lights can also look nice framing the edge of a roof, veranda or entryway and will highlight the architecture of your home.

Be sure your walkways are kept clear of ice and snow and are well lit for safety reasons.

Pub owner disgusted with new liquor policies Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Changes to the liquor industry are killing liquor establishments in rural B.C., said Williams Lake Overlander Pub owner Lindsey Gasparini.

“Most of the province outside of Vancouver proper has already seen a 30 to 40 per cent decrease in volume sales of liquor with the introduction of the .05 alcohol limit for driving,” Gasparini said. “Last week’s announcement the government is proposing the sale of liquor in grocery stores is adding injury to insult.”

Gasparini has contacted parliamentary secretary John Yap’s office, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and said fellow pub owners in the north are up in arms about the proposal to sell liquor in grocery stores.

“We had about 90 other owners on a list with a basic letter say-

Barnett said her concern is what it will do to small businesses who have invested money, time and energy into rural liquor outlets.

“The public’s saying it wants liquor in grocery stores and we all want convenience in life, but I look at the bigger picture.

The jobs these people

create, the permanent jobs in Williams Lake,” Barnett said.

“My concern is these peoples’ assets and these peoples’ jobs.”

Gasparini said many people are under the misconception alcohol is going to be cheaper in big grocery stores, especially in places like Costco.

As a pub owner, he pays the same price for liquor that

lowed businesses to make money from the sale of liquor so they could reinvest and keep their establishments looking nice.

They didn’t want a bunch of skid row bars all over the province.”

Gasparini also questions the argument liquor in grocery stores is all about convenience.

“There are nine liquor outlets serving the Williams Lake, Wildwood, 150 Mile and Dog Creek Road areas,” he said. “How much more convenience do we need.”

It comes down to asking whether the government is proposing liquor be sold in grocery stores to drive up the lost revenue in taxes, he added.

“They’ve lost tax revenue off the social end of it because people are afraid to drink and drive, and now they are trying to make it more accessible to drive those tax dollars up by selling it in grocery stores?”

customers pay for liquor in a store, he explained.

The only advantage pubs have when it comes to liquor purchasing is being exempt from having to pay provincial sales tax.

For the two beer and wine stores he owns locally, he receives about a 16 per cent reduction on the price of liquor from the government.

“Government controls all the liquor in B.C.,” he said. “They are the number one purchaser of alcohol.

They buy it from a brewery or distillery, mark it up and add a tax to it.”

That’s why people get upset, Gasparini suggested.

A case of Canadian beer, imported into the U.S., is still about $10 less a case in the U.S. compared to buying it in Canada.

Over the years, the government has slowly pushed up taxes and pub owners cannot pass the increase on to the customer, he said.

“Us as the sellers can only mark it up so much or people aren’t going to buy it.”

Gasparini’s family has held a liquor licence since 1958.

His father, Ernie, owned pubs in Prince Rupert and the Fraser Valley and always maintained the government was in business with pub owners.

Mandela dies at 94 The world is in mourning as inspirational South African leader Nelson Mandela died Thursday in his Johannesburg home at the age of 94.

Premier Christy Clark issued a statement yesterday calling Mandela “one of humanity’s true heroes” while many other leaders around the world also gave statements speaking to Mandela’s integrity, bravery and, above all, capacity to forgive.

U.S. President Obama said Mandela inspired millions of people to work for freedom and democracy, himself included.

“He no longer belongs to us.

He belongs to the ages,” Obama said.

Mandela led his country through apartheid, after he was jailed for 27 years serving hard labour for his political role in fighting the racial segregation that existed.

Although jailed for life, Mandela was released from jail in 1990 and received a Nobel Prize.

Mandela was later elected South Africa’s president in the country’s first multi-racial elections held in 1994. His ability to survive his captivity through forgiveness proved to be his greatest strength, making him a world figure on a calibre we will likely not see again in our lifetimes.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper rightfully called Mandela the most powerful symbol in the world for the struggle and success against racial discrimination.

“Despite his long years of captivity, Mr. Mandela left prison with a heart closed to calls for a settling of scores. Instead, he was filled by a longing for truth and reconciliation, and for an understanding between all peoples,” Harper said Thursday.

“He demonstrated that the only path forward for the nation was to reject the appeal of bitterness.

His forbearance was legendary: his magnanimity spared all South Africans incalculable suffering.”

Throughout his life Mandela left us with many memorable words to ponder. Here is just one example, spoken at his inauguration.

“The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us ... We enter into a covenant that we shall build a society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity — a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.” - Nelson Mandela.

A moose cow pauses from licking salt off the road between Big Lake and Likely Sunday afternoon. Her calves were hiding nearby in the trees.

The true meaning of Christmas spirit is in the giving “Christmas is almost upon us, time to get into the holiday spirit,” says Carmen.

I casually reminded her that she was the one who wanted to take a hammer to the laughing Santa doll in the drug store. Its incessant Ho! Ho! Hos were getting on her nerves.

Pity the poor clerks. Ignoring this, she put on some seasonal music to get me in the mood. I did feel a bit like dancing, but then, couldn’t remember the steps to Gregorian Chant.

Thus begins my annual fight with the Christmas lights, laying boxed in a tangled thicket. Whoever put them away (apparently full of Christmas cheer no doubt),

unceremoniously tossed them in a heap with no concern for the poor slob who would inherited the mess the following year. (Carmen accused me as the culprit on both

counts.)

In a fit of Christmas zeal she has been totally rearranging the house and moving furniture around to accommodate the tree. So far no one has got into a ‘fit of pique’ over it. It does give me a chance to pit my strength against the couch though. (This year the couch won.)

I look forward to the turkey dinner, always well put out by Carmen, so that we all feast in joy and merriment. I tried to think of Christmas stories and a few come to mind.

For one, I remember my sisters’ three kids waking up one Christmas morning, screaming down the stairs at high speed and overcome with excitement, opening up all the presents under the tree.

My sister spent the rest of the morning trying to figure out who sent what to whom. Here I am reminded of a quote from, Roy L. Smith. “He who has not Christmas in his heart, will never find it under a tree.”

Passed on to me was a true story that could well have taken place in the Cariboo and maybe some of you have heard it. Turns out a ranch family with little money to spare managed to scrape up enough for a few gifts for the kids and as the father was heading for town he got waylaid. He noticed a horse down by a creek trying to get water. It had been pawing away and had a big clump of ice surrounding its hoof and forelock. He

knew it for a stray abandoned by its owners, so he deferred his mission, went back and got a trailer and managed to get the bedraggled horse home and put it in the barn.

Although he figured it might not recover from its ordeal.

His children took a quick fancy to the animal and wanted to save it, so the gift money was spent on medicines.

In the end, the horse turned into a wonderful pet and all thoughts of missed gifts had long left their minds.

Leaving us with the thought, that the Christmas spirit invokes caring for all of God’s creatures as well.

Greenhouse gas trial balloon leaks Last week I described the inevitable demise of B.C.’s “carbon neutral government” scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value.

It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time.

AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns, made redundant by new vehicle technology and the financial need to save fuel.

Public sector carbon offsets will suffer the same fate, growing as a political liability as their effectiveness declines.

All this is separate from B.C.’s carbon tax and greenhouse gas reduction program, another environmental trial balloon that is sinking back to Earth.

Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050.

If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up substantially by 2020.

New liquefied natural gas export proposals continue to pop up, the latest ones on former industrial sites near Squamish and Campbell River.

And with the surge of LNG activity around Kitimat and Prince Rupert already changing the landscape, questions linger about the pollution and greenhouse gas impacts.

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

As she left for the government’s largest ever trade mission to Asia, Premier Christy Clark dismissed a study that estimated the impact of three LNG plants.

That study, done by Kitimat environment group Skeena Wild, assumed “direct drive” technology to chill and compress gas for export.

It concluded that three plants would burn two and a half times the amount of natural gas currently used in Metro Vancouver.

Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak relied on the same talking point to reject the study.

The technology of powering LNG is still being negotiated, as producers work towards environmental permits, so the total can’t be calculated yet.

BC Hydro is predicting little electricity demand for LNG until after 2020, which suggests the early development will either be direct drive, the industry standard and simplest method, or building one or more gas-fired power plants in northwest B.C.

Even if gas usage is only equivalent to one Lower Mainland, it’s plain to see greenhouse gas emissions are going up.

Clark has repeatedly argued that B.C. LNG should get credit for displacing coal in China and elsewhere.

I asked Polak if the international community would accept B.C.’s assertion that emissions from our LNG production shouldn’t count.

“We haven’t said we won’t count them,” Polak replied.

“What the premier’s talked about and I’ve talked about is that this whole issue of how one accounts for greenhouse gases in a particular region is

one that is constantly evolving.

“There are regularly changes to the international standards for accounting for these things and reporting them.

“And certainly the ability for one jurisdiction to impact positively on the GHG emissions of another, we think is appropriately considered in how one accounts for these things.”

Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG import facility in China that could be a key export destination.

Globe and Mail China correspondent Nathan Vanderklippe covered the premier’s visit.

He reports that the gas being imported at Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal.

It’s being used in addition to coal in peak demand periods.

Clark also visited Japan, another key customer for LNG. The whole world knows why Japan needs new energy sources.

It needs to replace production from its disaster-tainted nuclear facilities.

Will B.C. LNG be part of the solution to human-induced climate change?

On the evidence so far, the answer is no.

Don’t be afraid to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Not many more sleeps until we celebrate Christmas.

The festive mood for me starts when we have the Santa Parade downtown, and as we get closer to Christmas day we see more and more decorative lights throughout the community ... more lawns with decorations of the nativity scene, blown up cheery looking Santa Clauses, and lots of candy canes, all to help get us in the mood that is the festive season.

You get more smiles from folks on the streets, in stores or shopping around town, than you get at any other time of the year. I love it.

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

People seem to be happier in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Especially the children as it is such a magical time for them.

Community togetherness also seems to intensify with a lot of volunteer effort coming to the front to help those in the community who need food and presents for some youngsters who may go without.

Students who gathered all the food, over two tons, for this year’s Poverty Challenge worked hard and I suspect they know about the good feeling that comes with volunteering and helping others. Good for them.

It is special at Christmas.

Santa is also making his annual appearances at the Boitanio Mall this weekend and

leading up to Christmas there are concerts and other festive activities.

The merchants in town celebrated Christmas with Black Friday last weekend, and on the Dec. 26 will also take part in the Boxing Day sales.

I hope many people decided to shop here at home in Williams Lake this year.

We don’t need more empty businesses in the city and remember many businesses in this town give back to the community through contributions or working with the many services organizations.

Christian churches are pre-

paring for larger congregations as they lead up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It is this time to be happy and enjoy that which is offered for celebration in Williams Lake along with the lights and decorations of Christmas.

Don’t be afraid to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone even the politically correct who want us to use something like ‘happy holidays’ with no mention of Christmas.

Get the Merry Christmas Magic, Williams Lake...it’s catching!

LOCAL NEWS

Sacred Heart considers junior high As public schools around the province are closing, a local private school is hoping to expand.

Sacred Heart Catholic School is looking to build an addition to accommodate a grades 7 to 9 junior high school.

“It is really important to get feedback from parents,” says Principal Nick Iachetta, who is hosting a public information meeting Monday, Dec. 9 starting at 7 p.m. in the school gym.

Given the closing of two elementary schools and consolidation of the secondary schools in Williams Lake to accommodate Grade 7s, he said there has been more interest in Sacred Heart expanding to Grade 9.

He notes a number of students have already transferred in for Grade 7 this year.

“We’ve done a lot of research and spoken to a lot of parents in and outside the school

so we are hoping for a good turnout and a lot of feedback,” Iachetta said. “The decision really is parent driven right now.”

Members of the school staff, parent support group, and school council will be at the meeting with him to answer questions.

If there is enough interest he said the school would expand to include Grade 8s next year and Grade 9s the following year.

“We have a good relationship with the public school system, but I think it is important that we offer choice for parents,” Iachetta said.

The plan is to build a new wing on the south side of the school with three or four classrooms and a lounge.

Sacred Heart currently has 15 students in grades 6 and 7.

They would need about 15 students in each of the junior secondary grades to make

the project feasible.

He adds there is a lot of research to show that students do better academically in classes with smaller numbers of students and where there are fewer transitions between schools.

“We want them to be somewhat integrated into the whole school community so they are still part of the local school community but have their own identity as junior high students.

He said Sacred Heart is also looking to build community partnerships with local businesses to deliver elective courses.

Guest speakers from local businesses would be invited to speak to students and field trips would be arranged to visit local businesses.

He notes students don’t have to be Catholic to attend Sacred Heart but they will learn about Christianity in their social studies classes.

“It is a good place to

learn about Christianity and good morals and values,” Iachetta said. “As important as academic studies it is important kids become compassionate contributors to society.”

He said the capital cost for the expansion would be born by the school and church.

Tuition is partially covered by Ministry of Education grants.

While the public schools receive $10,000 per student he said Sacred Heart receives $5,000 per student for curriculum costs.

He adds the cost to send a student to Sacred Heart isn’t as expensive as one might think. Tuition is $2,195 per year which includes busing and supplies. There is a 25 per cent discount on the fee for a second child and a 50 per cent discount for the third child. The fourth and subsequent children in the family attend for free.

A Christmas appetizer to kick off the season The Christmas season brings out lots of good food for guests, relatives and friends. Christmas dinner is always the big meal at this time of the year, however we all have guests coming throughout the season and some appetizers work really well for those hungry tummies.

Most appetizers can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you need to serve them for planned or unexpected guests.

Ken’s Country Kitchen

with Ken Wilson

You can spend a lot of time making really fancy appetizers or you can use simple easy to make recipes that will make your company happy.

Dips are usually one of the first appetizers people will make because they are quick and you can use a variety of crackers to dip into the tasty food.

Holiday Cream spread • 1 tub or 250 grams of Cream cheese spread • 1 ½ cups sour cream • 1/4 cup miracle whip spread • 1 cup salsa • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella shredded

The Christmas Sacrifice We are in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season... A song I remember is John Lennon’s “So This Is Christmas”: So this is Christmas And what have you done?

Another year over And a new one just begun As I thought about this verse I tried to think, “what have I really done this Christmas and this year?”

The Salvation Army is preparing Christmas Hampers, Christmas Dinner, ringing bells in stores with our bubbles, attending fund raising events, parties and so on. It seems like a lot but what have I done this Christmas and all this past year?

I find that I have not done what I would have liked. I would have like to have told more people about the love of God. I would like to have given more. I would like to have been more appreciative to those who have donated so generously.

So having said that I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that God loves you. He gave the most precious gift of all His Son Jesus John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For

PARSONS PEN

BY REVEREND BUBBA God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Secondly Jesus when asked said, Matthew 22:37-39 ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [d] 38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The description of love 1

Corinthians 13:4-8a 4 Love suffers long and is kind; does not envy; does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.

Words cannot express how much we appreciate the generosity of the people of Williams Lake. From the depths of our hearts THANK YOU for making our task easier.

Whenever there was a need for groceries, funds or goods to sell our shelves were stocked by you.

Paul said 2 Corinthians 9:7-8:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

So this Christmas as you listen to John Lennon know that you have done abundantly this year.

Finally I want thank all of you for kind words, for reading my Parsons Pen. This will be my last submission as Claudine and I are embarking on a new adventure and mission.

Color of Paradise screening Tuesday Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor Next Tuesday, Dec. 10, the Williams Lake Film Club will be screening its last film for this year at the Gibraltar Room.

The Color of Paradise is a film from Iran with English subtitles.

The subtitles are white on black and very easy to read.

Academy Award nominee Majid Majidi is the director.

The story is beautiful and smart and just as interesting for adults as it is for the younger audience.

We get to know Mohammad, a gifted blind boy who attends the Institute for the Blind in the big city of Teheran.

Summer holidays are beginning and he is waiting for his father to pick him up to spend the holiday with his family in a small village in the country side.

Mohammad does not know that his father has decided to marry again, a local widow with a large dowry.

And that his father is ashamed of him, his own son with such a severe handicap.

He wants to hide Mohammad, or you could say he really wants to get rid of him.

As the wedding is quickly approaching the father has to come to a solution just as quickly.

And he thinks he has found one.

Photo submitted

The film club wraps up this season Tuesday with the film The Color of Paradise and a Christmas social following the film. Donations for the food bank are requested as well. The club will also make a presentation to the new LDA partner, the Child Development Centre.

See for yourself how the story unfolds.

It is fascinating to watch how much in tune Mohammad is with the world around him.

You come to believe that he really does see the “Colour” of Paradise, that he sees the children, the people around him, and especially the animals with his heart.

He is full of joy to be alive and to experience life in all its “colours.”

His father, however, has shut his heart toward the joy in life his son sees.

He has become hard and greedy, only open to his wants.

The story is quite simple but so very well done and the lush

countryside is a wonder to behold.

As the New York Times says: “Stunningly beautiful. A gem.”

That describes the film perfectly.

We are also very excited that we have the opportunity to present our first cheque of $2,000 to our new partner for the LDA, the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre.

We have been hard at work to set everything up and the LDA office will be running again next week.

Their new telephone number is 250-3924489, ask for Sydney.

cept the cheque.

Nancy Gale, executive director, is out of town, but will introduce herself to you at a later date.

She is just as excited about our partnership

as we are.

As this is the last film for this season, we once again will have a little Christmas Social after the film, with mulled apple cider, hot chocolate and other treats.

Wouldn’t it be fun if you share some of your Christmas baking with us?

We are really looking forward to that!

As this is the time for sharing, let us also bring something for the food bank.

This is our largest collection of the year, and probably the most important one.

The film will be shown at 7 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room. Back doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is $9 regular, $8 for Williams Lake Film Club members, and $6 for seniors (65+) and students, HS and TRU. Children under 12 are free.

Horoscope Mar 21/Apr 20 Participate in something new and interesting this week, Aries.

The perfect activity will present itself in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes open.

Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, delay any upcoming shopping excursions for the time being. Your coffers are getting a bit sparse, and you need to conserve the rest of your funds May 22/Jun 21 Listen to advice this week, Gemini. Loved ones only want to help and provide support, so keep that in mind when those closest to you offer some guidance.

Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your suspicions may be aroused by someone who has been paying more attention to you than normal. It could be something completely innocent, but right now you’re not sure.

July 23/Aug 23 Every day is a learning process, Leo. You will find that there are a number of new ideas swirling around in your head, and if you pin one down, you may be on to something.

Aug 24/Sept 22 Your colleagues at work may be making things difficult, Virgo, but there is nothing you can do about it right now. Just work your hardest, and things will turn out for the best.

Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, prepare to juggle multiple responsibilities in the coming days. Be ready to multi-task and expect to be pulled in multiple directions.

Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a small misunderstanding turns into a larger battle this week. But you have the power to put the flames out quickly by keeping a cool head.

Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are having so much fun lately that it almost seems like life is a game. Just don’t get so caught up in the good times that you overlook your responsibilities.

Dec 22/Jan 20 Expect to be busy for the rest of the month, Capricorn. With potential birthday celebrations and holiday tasks to complete, spare moments are few and far between.

Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, some irregularities have begun to pop up of late.

It is not up to you to figure out what is going on, though.

Others will discover the truth.

Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your head may be in the clouds, but it is quite comfortable up there. Just don’t linger up there too long.

CRD opposes ferry cuts During a Finance Budget meeting recently, the Cariboo Regional District Board discussed establishment of an economic strategy for the Interlakes area in Electoral Area L. The directors resolved to include a contribution of $5,000 be included in the 2014 provisional budget to support the Interlakes Economic Association for development of the strategy. These funds will be included under the South Cariboo Economic Development function financial plan.

Later in the meeting, the CRD Board discussed the options to include a contribution to the Forest Grove Curling Rink in the 2014 South Cariboo Recreation function financial plan. The current amount under consideration is $5,500.

CRD Discusses Proposed BC Ferries Cancellation

40 (Port Hardy to Bella Coola). The letter will outline how the cancellation will not only have immediate impacts on the Bella Coola area, but that longer term economic ripple effects will be experienced throughout the entire region. The Board received a news release from the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) which states their opposition to this proposal and the economic hardships and loss of jobs this cancellation could cause. The CCCTA news release also cites the lack of meaningful consultation with affected stakeholders as this route is a key component of the provincial Discovery Coast circle route and generates significant revenue for businesses and communities throughout the Interior.

2014 Provisional Budget Discussions

The Cariboo Regional District will be sending a letter to the Minister of Transportation and BC Ferries opposing the proposed cancellation of Route 3 5/16 x 5

The proposed 2014 five-year financial plan calls for an overall requisition increase of 2.5 per cent, with 1.4 per cent being attributable to new services, 1

per cent representing inflationary increases over 2013 and 0.1 per cent for the Anahim Lake Airport boundary expansion. These preliminary numbers are exclusive of grant for assistance allocations which at this time reflect the approved grants for 2013 as new grant requests have not yet been considered in the Central or North Cariboo.

The provisional budget will be presented at the next CRD Board meeting on December 13 for adoption. Once the provisional budget is adopted, the CRD will be seeking input and feedback through three sub-regional Community Engagement Sessions which will take place in early 2014. Be sure to watch for the dates of these sessions to ensure you have your say in the process before the final budget is adopted at the end of March.

ALR Core Review The CRD will be asking for further consultation on any changes proposed through the provincial Core

Review of the Agricultural Land Commission. This action is in response to information the BC Food Systems Network has issued to all local governments regarding the Core Review and proposed changes to the Agricultural Land Commission and Land Reserve. The CRD will address the following in its query: 1.) Given that agricultural land comprises of less than five per cent of B.C.’s land base, the CRD reaffirms its support for the preservation of agricultural land in the Province’s Agricultural Land Reserve; 2.) The CRD reaffirms its support for the continuation of this decision making process as shared by regional districts and the ALC, and; 3.) An extension to the time in the core review process in order that the Regional District and other interested parties can make meaningful presentations to the review committee.

The next CRD Board meeting is scheduled for Dec. 13.

Pioneer Log Homes has a brand new original series — Timber Kings. The new show will premiere Jan. 5 on HGTV Canada.

99 99 1 Bed - $5 599.99 • 2 Beds - $6644.99 Jacuzzi Suites - $94.99

Beginning this January, HGTV Canada explores home building like never before in the brand new original series Timber Kings. Follow the gruelling jobs and jaw-dropping experiences of the master log smiths at Pioneer Log Homes in Williams Lake, B.C. as they build massive, multi-million dollar log homes under tight deadlines and intense pressure. The drama begins on Timber Kings Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT beginning January 5th on HGTV Canada.

“HGTV Canada is the undisputed destination for compelling stories about the home and this winter we’re taking it to another level with Timber Kings,” said Barb Williams, senior vice-president, content, Shaw Media. “This new original series expertly tells the stories of a crew that masterfully crafts the most difficult and elaborate log homes, navigating anything and everything the elements, terrain and clients can throw at them.”

Crafting these magnificent homes around the world requires a labour-intensive process to ensure perfection for each elite client.

The homes themselves are all made on site at Pioneer Log Homes, with each enormous log notched by hand to fit exactly into the next. The homes are then dismantled to be reassembled at their final destination, which can be a very dangerous job as the builders need to maneuver the 2,000 pound logs in often extreme weather conditions. Add using a 20-pound chainsaw three stories in the air and the stakes get even higher. This season alone the Timber Kings crew builds homes in Germany, Scotland and

on a private island in England, in addition to locations across North America.

“We are proud to be joining the line-up of very popular HGTV Canada shows,” said Audrey Mehler, Executive Vice President for Paperny Entertainment. “We think viewers will agree that the Timber Kings are more than builders and highly-skilled craftsmen. They are also true artists…with egos and competitive drives, of course.”

The premiere episode focuses on building a 4,400 square foot lakefront cottage in Northern Ontario where the severe winter weather puts everything at risk for the Timber Kings crew. All of the materials must make it over a series of three impossibly narrow, icy bridges before they can even begin building, putting their timelines to the test. Back at the work

yard in Williams Lake, an eccentric Arkansas millionaire is in the market for a massive 1,000 year old tree to become the centerpiece of his new home for a whopping cost of $80,000, and two of the Pioneer

Log Homes crew push each other to breaking points in a fight for new equipment.

Snowmobile club treading on thin ice Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club could be forced to shut down this winter due to a lack of volunteer support.

This will mean all trail agreements will be cancelled and the club will liquidate all of its assets, including the grooming machine used at Yank’s Peak.

“I’m drawing a line in the snow,” said Rick Jelley, who’s been president with the club for the past decade.

“No people are showing any interest. We’d set a meeting two weeks ago trying to see where people want to take the club and we’re looking for people to step up and we’re looking for some people to take part in the executive.”

Jelley said the club, which has hosted multiple annual rides for the past 10 years in and around Williams Lake, is now down to a small handful of people doing all the work.

“That’s the sad part about it,” Jelley said. “We’ve done a lot with building it up over the last 10 years but it’s to the point where it’s down

A group of snowmobilers gather for a break up at Yank’s Peak near Williams Lake. The local Powder Kings snowmobile club is currently in danger of shutting down due to a lack of volunteers. to four or five people doing everything and those people get burnt out.”

Currently, the Powder Kings groom 15 kilometres of trails from the Yank’s Peak parking lot to the cabin.

As well, this year, an additional 12 kilometres of trail was brushed and to be

groomed this season.

The Yank’s Peak trail system makes up an important portion of the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail.

Snowmobilers can presently ride on the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail from 70 Mile House all the way to Horsefly on signed and legal

trails.

Plans were in the works to continue that link from Horsefly to Barkerville in the pristine backcountry of the Cariboo Mountains with direction and assistance from the local snowmobile club.

The club hosted its annual

general meeting last night and, depending on turnout, will make a decision on how to move forward.

The biggest role to be filled within the executive is that of president, however, Jelley said he will be available to assist anyone willing to step up to take on the role.

Barnett encourages support for snowmobile club Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett wants people to step up to the table to help the Williams Lake Powder Kings snowmobile club.

The club, which hosted its annual general meeting last night, is in danger of shutting down due to a lack of volunteer support, which will mean it would no longer maintain a groomed 15-kilometre portion of the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail from the Yank’s Peak parking lot to the club’s cabin.

“That is an asset not just for tourism, it’s an asset for local people,” Barnett said. “It’s a great trail that will in the long term provide a lot of ability for the promotion of tourism

The Powder Kings’ cabin at Yank’s Peak. around the world, and it gives a place for people to ride safely on trails so they’re not affecting the sensitive areas we want people to not ride on.”

The Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail is close to Barnett’s heart. Back in the late 60s she

and her husband were in the snowmobile business, and her husband played a lead role in getting the trail up and running.

Since then more than $600,000 has been spent on the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail with funds coming from a number of sources — including the National Trails Coalition, Western Economic Diversification Canada, Northern Development Initiative Trust and a provincial government trails development grant.

“It’s a real struggle to get volunteers, so I sympathize with the Powder Kings,” she said, adding club president, Rick Jelley — who has announced he will be stepping down this year after a decade of leading the club — has

been a tremendous asset to the region.

“He has worked his heart and soul off not just for that trail — he’s worked his heart and soul off for mountain riding and has been a real advocate. I sincerely hope people will step up to the table to take on the responsibility.”

Barnett said one of the problems the local snowmobile club has always run into is a way to generate funds outside of its membership dues.

“In Revelstoke, for example, you have to go up one trail to snowmobile in the mountains because they don’t have the terrain that we have,” she said. “It’s user pay. You have to get through a booth to get up the mountain. Unfortunately, in our region, because it’s a trail system you can get

on everywhere.

“If people joined these clubs then they’d have the money to go out and generate the equipment that’s necessary to maintain these trails, but they’ve never had enough people to join so they could hire someone [to do maintenance]. It would be great to have a hired position for somebody to look after the trails.”

If the Powder Kings can’t find people to help out this season, Barnett said the trail will not close.

“Someone will take it over, I’m sure, and hopefully it’s somebody from Williams Lake,” she said.

“Hopefully they’re still here [today] with new energy.

It would be a real loss to the community.”

A Williams Lake minor hockey player is seeing the game through new lenses.

Benn Taylor, a team member and captain with the Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves, has been a BC Hockey official for the past two years and is making the most of it.

“I started reffing when I was a secondyear peewee player,” Taylor said. “I’m just kind of going with it and I’ll see what happens — see where it can take me and keep my options going.”

The Officiating Program, a part of BC Hockey, is structured by levels with level one — for officials aged 12 to 15 — being the launching pad.

“Every year there’s a clinic and you’ve got to go do a test,” Taylor said.

“Once you turn 16 you have to do level two and you need to get 70 per cent on the exam to qualify.”

Being a level two referee has qualified Taylor to officiate competitive minor hockey — even games in his own league.

In November the Timberwolves and Taylor travelled to Quesnel for the Quesnel Midget Rep Tournament.

The head official for the area knew Taylor was coming to play in the tournament, so, he

asked him to bring his referee gear.

“It was weird. We played Terrace on the Saturday morning and I was reffing their game the night before so I was kind of scouting them out,” Taylor joked.

“Then I lined with the Prince George team that we have to play at provincials and I knew one of the kids on their team — he did a double take when he saw me out there. It was different.”

Earlier in the year Taylor was asked to help line the 100 Mile Wranglers’ Junior B spring camp.

“That level of play was good [to officiate],” he said. “It was faster, bigger guys. It’s all experience.”

Based on his performance at the Quesnel Midget Rep Tournament Taylor was recommended by the regional referee in chief to take his level three officiating course next year, which will qualify him to officiate minor hockey playoffs.

Taylor said aside from making a little cash, it’s a great way to get some exercise.

“I do it to keep in shape mostly,” he said.

“You’re up and down, up and down the ice, and if it’s a good game I’ll be as sweaty as the players.”

Referendum approved to borrow for pool upgrade During the Nov. 29 Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors meeting a resolution from the Central Cariboo Joint Committee was endorsed authorizing the CRD to proceed to referendum to approve borrowing for an upgrade to the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool.

The referendum, which will be held on Nov. 15, 2014, will ask voters if they approve borrowing up to $10 million over 20 years.

The remainder of the cost of the approximately $11.3-million project will need to be made up from grants, fundraising, and capital reserves, the city said.

Proceeding with the project would result in an increase for Central Cariboo Recreation services of approximately $40 per $100,000 of residential assessment, including operating costs of the expanded facility.

If the proposed up-

grade does not proceed, a $2 million project to repair the main pool tank is urgently required and would still need to be undertaken within the next few years, the city said.

The proposed concept would see the current main pool tank replaced, vital mechanical systems replaced and a new leisure pool added onto the existing Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex building.

The replacement of the current pool and construction of the leisure pool would be built in two separate phases, ensuring that one pool would be operational at all times during construction.

The concept also calls for the construction of a second floor above the existing change rooms to house multi-use and fitness space. The change rooms would also be expanded.

The proposed concept was the overwhelming

www.wltribune.com A27

choice of stakeholders and residents during extensive public consultation in 2012 by the Pool Task Force. The pool, which is 30 years old, is in dire need of renovation or replacement, the city said.

All eligible voters within the Central Cariboo Recreation services boundary, which includes residents in the City of Williams Lake as well as adjacent areas such as 150 Mile House, Wildwood, Esler and Mountview, will be eligible to participate in the referendum.

More information about the proposed concept and the referendum will be provided by the city and the CRD on their websites, open houses and through mail-outs to residents in the months to come.

“We encourage all residents eligible to vote to learn more about the project and to make your voice heard in the referendum,” said Mayor Kerry Cook, co-

chair of the Central Cariboo Joint Committee. “Everyone should be part of deciding on a project of this size and significance.”

Joan Sorley, Central Cariboo Joint Committee co-chair, said what happens next will depend solely on what the public decides.

“We’ve made a lot of progress over the past two years, but we simply can’t do much more without a clear signal from the public and the only way to get that signal is through a referendum,” Sorely said. “We will provide a great deal of information over the next 12 months to ensure residents have the information they need to help make a decision that is right for them.”

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex Pool Feasibility Study can be viewed on the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca or on the City of Williams Lake’s website at www.williamslake.ca.

Wolves look to rebound at home tourney Darien Grace Special to Tribune/Advisor After putting together a great and then a good game, Williams Lake comes home 0-2 in league play, and will need to sweep their final league games in February to have any hope of having homeice advantage in the playoffs.

On the road in Prince George, the Wolves played a solid game.

Unfortunately, it was the PG Cougars who scored with a first period marker and a late second period marker creating a two-goal deficit.

A comeback seemed imminent, when Justin Bond, in his first game back from a broken shoulder, appeared to half the lead when he buried a shot on a breakaway into the back bar of the net.

The ref, however, saw differently, and deemed the puck to have hit the crossbar, leaving Williams Lake down two with an inadequate amount of time to equalize.

“We played solid, but to win hockey games you need to score goals,” remarked forward Josh Novakowski on the 2-0 shutout loss.

“The defensive effort was good, and we outshot them 39 - 24, but that doesn’t matter. In the end, it’s impossible to win without scoring.”

Bond added, “We have to stop shooting at the goalie’s chest.

We gave Hinsche and French [the PG goalies] some saves. They played well, but we should have buried more.”

In the second game, Williams Lake again conceded early, but Ezra Oosting bursting through on a partial breakaway tied the game.

A defensive zone giveaway cost Williams Lake again, but Jacob Chamberlin, Ezra Oosting and Tristan Sailor combined for a pretty equalizer.

An own goal off a tip in front re-established Prince George’s lead, but a point shot from Cory Sterritt pulled Williams Lake level again.

A two-on-one late in the second frame for Prince George caused controversy when their player seemed to kick the puck into the net. After deliberation, the goal was awarded to PG and Williams Lake headed to the dressing room down a goal.

A tense third period saw 37 penalty minutes handed out to the two teams, including a major and a game misconduct. With time ticking down, Williams Lake played with sustained pressure for nearly three minutes.

The equalizer nearly came when, with 20 seconds remaining, Ezra Oosting rang a shot from the slot off the right post. A scramble in front of the net in the dying seconds failed to produce a tally, and

Williams Lake fell 4-3.

“We played well but the end result wasn’t in our favor. We just need to look forward at our next games, and start putting together the wins,” said captain Benn Taylor.

Williams Lake is finally home for 5 games this weekend at their home tournament after

playing 24 out of their 27 games on the road.

On Friday, Williams Lake faces Quesnel at 3:30 p.m. and Fort St John at 8:00 p.m. Saturday morning at 10:15 a.m. pits Williams Lake against Terrace, and an afternoon date with the Salmon Arm Silvertips rounds out Williams Lake’s round robin.

The team is doing a food drive, and spectators are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the rink for donation.

The playoff portion of the tournament will take place on Sunday.

Darien Grace is a team member with the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves.

Grapplers open season with positive results The Williams Lake Wrestling Club’s high school and elementary grapplers were in Prince George this past weekend to compete in a double-header tournament.

Five elementary students took part in the Pin to Win tournament on Friday, while six high school athletes, along with three competitors from 100 Mile House, took part in the Prince George Secondary School Icebreaker Tournament.

“Everyone did exceptionally well and fought hard, never going down without a fight,” said Sonia Conrod, head coach and president of the WLWC. Grade 3 grappler Kalob Scaino took home a silver medal in the 24-kilogram class, while veteran wrestler Nathan Preston, Grade 6, in a tough division, took fourth in the 57-kg class. Rookie Grade 6 wrestler Darian Atkins, at 49 kg, won a bronze.

First-year rookie

Kane Sandee (45 kg), just missed the podium, taking a respectable fourth.

On the girls’ side Tyleen Sciano, who had to move up to the 48kg weight class due to a lack of competition, narrowly missed the podium.

“Although she didn’t make the podium she never back down, taking a fourth-place finish,” Sonia said.

Day two of the competition, with teams travelling from as far away as Grand Prairie, featured grades 8 to 12 competitors.

“Grade 11 student Peter Fayowski has improved so much in the past year,” she said.

“He fought hard taking a fifth-place finish in the 110-kg boys’ weight class.”

Also in Grade 11, Adam Sutherland (57 kg), won his first match but missed the podium in fourth place.

Veteran and WLWC captain Braden Conrod, Grade 9, was in a

double-knockout bracket draw in the 60-kg weight class. Meeting up with his past PGSS rivals, he went undefeated bringing home a gold medal for the ‘black and blue.’

On the girls’ side athlete Danielle Schultz (Grade 9, 49 kg), had two national medalists in her weight class.

“She did amazing bringing home a bronze,” Sonia said.

Also in the 49-kg division Team B.C. member, Grade 9 Tiana Dykstra, won silver.

Meanwhile, rookie Kaitlin Jantz (60 kg), fought hard, Sonia said.

“She was awesome, taking fourth overall,” she said.

“All the kids did amazing and battled hard. We now know what needs to be worked on for the rest of the season and are eagerly back on the mat for practice.”

Next up is the War on the Floor Tournament at Simon Fraser University from Dec. 17-19.

Yuletide Christmas Feast coming up Tuesday The 16th Annual Yuletide Christmas Feast is coming up Tuesday at the Ramada Convention Centre.

The dinner is a gift from members of the Williams Lake community, to anyone experiencing lean times this season say Child Development Centre event organizers.

Lean times need not mean only shortage of funds for a traditional feast, but perhaps lean on company to celebrate the season.

The Yuletide Dinner is held at the Ramada Convention Centre with help from manager Lindsey Gasparini and all the staff who donate many hours of volunteer time to help with preparing and serving the dinner, says organizer Vanessa Riplinger.

Last year the dinner fed more than 700 people. This year participation is expected to increase.

The dinner will be served at the Ramada Convention Centre between 4 and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10.

Help from the community is requested in sponsorship for the dinner.

The cost of sponsoring an individual plate is $10. The cost of sponsoring a family for the dinner is $40.

The dinner promises to be a joyful and festive occasion with great food and entertainment.

People can make their

donations at the Child Development Centre at 690 North Second Avenue.

The Yuletide Dinner

Group is a registered group for tax receipt purposes.

“Thanks to all the volunteers that are already

promising to make the Yuletide Dinner wonderful,” Riplinger says.

“Thanks in advance to all the support antici-

pated from our generous community and welcome to all of you coming to dine, and joining in the festivities.”

There’s snow deal like this.

Christmas kettle volunteers needed The Salvation Army is seeking help with its annual Christmas kettles program to provide Christmas food hampers, and toys for children and teens.

Important things to keep in mind when buying firewood This activity is illegal and could result in a violation ticket or fine.

It could also create safety hazards for the public, recreationalists and other forest users, and negatively affect the area’s ecosystems — including fish and wildlife habitats. The public can do its part by purchasing firewood only from legitimate producers selling wood from either

0

private land or authorized Crown land harvesting tenures. Anyone buying firewood should ask where the firewood comes from (Crown land or private land) and ask for a record of purchase.

• For firewood harvested on private land, the buyer should ask the seller for the district lot number and timber mark number.

• For firewood har-

vested on Crown land, legitimate commercial firewood producers should have a “Forestry Licence to Cut” document signed by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations district manager (with an approved timber mark).

Firewood that is bought or sold without proper documentation can be seized and re-

moved by Natural Resource Officers.

Anyone who would like to cut firewood on vacant Crown land for personal use can obtain a firewood permit by contacting the CaribooChilcotin District Office at 120 - 640 Borland St., Williams Lake.

They can also obtain an application form online at: http://www.for. gov.bc.ca/dcc/#second.

Cutting down trees on Crown land without the appropriate permit and then selling the firewood is a problem throughout B.C.”

Was it legally harvested?
