Walking stick made from a tree branch, with painted/carved inscriptions giving the names of Boy Scout troops and the dates of trips to different landmarks and locations (Thornhill Mountain, Claque/Clague Mountain, Hirsch Creek Falls, Douglas Channel, Squirrel Mountain). Grooves have been carved into the circumference every ~12 or so inches along the stick. Towards the tip, there is a diamond-like pattern of intersecting lines carved into the wood, followed by a series of 6 more circular grooves, each about 1 inch apart, at the very end. Many of the carvings have been painted green, and there is a reddish smear, possibly from paint, along one side of the tip of the stick. Also near the tip is a pencil drawing of a crown, above the words "Boy Scouts."

Photograph of girl with lemon. Kitimat may not be the banana belt but it might qualify as the citrus fruit belt of British Columbia. Three year old Sharon Anne Strecheniuk posed with a monster lemon that has been ripening on a lemon tree in her home for the past eight months. The plant is two years old and has not borne fruit before. Sharon holds a normal lemon to show size of the big fellow.
