Edmonton film maker Doug Hutton is producing a one-hour documentary on the history of forestry in Alberta. It’s a huge topic, but Hutton figures he has 60 seconds or so for a bit about the prisoners of war who worked in logging camps in the bush during World War II. If all goes as planned, when the show airs on Global TV sometime next spring there should be some pictures and information in it about the Fawcett Lake camp during those years when two German submarine crews worked there. Hutton’s company King Motion Pictures has produced a number of films in the ‘This Living World’ series, which have also been shown on Global. Profit from Canadian distribution of the films goes into a trust fund called ‘This Living World Nature Trust’. The money is used to purchase wildlife habitat for conservation. To date the films have raised about $100,000 for the cause, Hutton says.

Boy was our face red ! (Again.)
We apologize for the error which crept into the cutline in last week’s issue. We it didn’t really creep in, it was more an omission that someone allowed to happen…Okay, we admit it..one of the reporters, a female we believe, forgot to report that it was both the Wolves and the Winterhawks that made the huge donation of food and toys to the Slave Lake Native Friendship Centre’s Santas Anonymous and food bank caches.
Thanks to Jackie Beauchamp for pointing that out...We really thought we’d made the correction when our own Kathie Millett pointed out the error in the first place.
