Crown Counsel has approved the charge of assault against Const. Andy Yung of the Williams Lake RCMP. The charge follows a recommendation by the Abbotsford Police Department, which investigated assault allegations stemming from an incident where a 17-yearold girl sustained injuries while in custody of the Williams Lake RCMP on Sept. 10, 2011. Yung will appear in court in Williams Lake at a date yet to be determined. Gaeil Farrar photo

Decade-old human remains identified Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the human remains found in the Esler area near Williams Lake in August. The remains belong to Dennis Russell Meleta, said the BC Coroners Service today (Friday). Meleta was about 36 years old at the time of his death, which is believed to be about 10 years prior to discovery. On Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2011 a mountain biker found the human remains about two kilometres north of the Esler area, while exploring the possibility of building trails. “That’s often how people are found. This is one of those cases where someone went off the beaten track and discovered a body,” says coroner Stephen Fonseca of the BC Coroners Service. Following an RCMP examination of the scene, police said the “severely decomposed human remains” were found in a heavily wooded area, and that it was possible the deceased may have been at the location for a number of years.

The investigation was then taken on by the BC Coroners Service to investigate the identity of the remains. The B.C. Coroners Service says confirming the man’s identity follows an exhaustive post-mortem investigation and with assistance from the Williams Lake RCMP Detachment, Vancouver Police Department Forensic Identification Section, the B.C. Police Missing Persons Centre and the Ontario Provincial Police Missing Persons/ Unidentified Bodies Unit. Identification was determined through advanced fingerprint techniques. Thorough scene investigation and a post-mortem examination ruled out foul play in Meleta’s death. “He’d been in British Columbia for quite a few years, but we lose track of him coming into around the year 2000, so we’re not sure how long he was in Williams Lake for. That’s what we’re trying to understand,” says Fonseca. Meleta’s family has been notified of the confirmed identification, but to further a humanitarian

effort, investigators wish to learn more about Meleta’s activities preceding his death and how people may have known him. “Hopefully that will allow us to get a better interval on how long he’s likely been deceased for. We have some initial ideas, but hopefully someone will come forward

and provide some verifiable evidence that they were with him on a particular day or even in a particular year,” Fonseca points out, adding it would be good to learn why Meleta was in Williams Lake. See CASE Page A2

Inquest into man’s death An inquest into the death of Williams Lake resident Blaine Conrad Sargent will be held, says the BC Coroners Service. Sargent, 19, died at the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia on Sept. 21, 2011. He had been taken to the hospital after going into medical distress at the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre a short time after returning from a court appearance in Williams Lake. “Presiding coroner Donita Kuzma and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding this death. While the jury may not, by law, make any findings of legal respon-

sibility, it will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future,” says the BC Coroners Service. While the date and place of the inquest has yet to be determined, the coroners office points out that an inquest is a formal process that allows for public presentation of evidence relating to a death. In September, regional coroner Shane DeMeyer said that the death was being treated as an “in custody death,” meaning there were protocols that must be followed, which included an autopsy performed in Kamloops, as well as toxicology testing.

Public to have input on pool Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The consultant hired to do a pool feasibility study in Williams Lake was in the city last week meeting with various stake holders and going through the facility with a fine tooth comb, says Cariboo Regional District board member Joan Sorley. “At the end of the day we had a meeting which summarized the two days and reached a consensus. There wasn’t a single person who did not think we needed a pool, so no pool is not a solution.” The next step will see the consultants, Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants Ltd., go away to create at least three options for the public to consider. Input from the public will be random, says Sorley, adding kiosks are being considered for venues such as grocery stores, high schools, the seniors’ centre, at the park during festivals, or at businesses when there are special events taking place. “It’s hoped we can find out what the will is in the community,” Sorley says, adding the two days spent with the consultants involved some good meetings

and lots of good ideas. The process is beginning, Sorley says. New members recently appointed to the task force are Jerome Beauchamp, Stefan Hoelzer and Geoff Goodall. They join the existing members Ron Bisaro, David Reedman, Ryan Lucas, Gerald Doering, Talia Baptiste, Doug Neufeld, Margaret Waring, Geoff Paynton, Darron Campbell, Deb Radolla and Bonnie Roller. Sorley and city councillor Laurie Walters are the committee’s appointed co-chairs. While it needs final approval by city council, it has been approved by the CRD that the task force include two youth representatives. “There was already one person, Talia Baptiste, who is a youth council member, and the youth council asked that there be another one and we all agreed that was a good idea,” Sorley says, adding especially for something like the pool, youth representation is really important. The task force, says the city, exists to act as an advisor to the consultant during the Pool Feasibility Study and will be disbanded as soon as that report is finalized.

Cariboo GM management and staff accept the Business of the Year award Saturday at the Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce’s 17th Annual Business Excellence Awards. Pictured (from left) are GM sales manager Lorne Doerkson, Community Futures of the Cariboo Chilcotin general manager Karen Eden, and GM’s Pearl Weinert, Alan Weinert and Leo Nieuwland.

Businesses receive excellence awards Cariboo GM emerged as the winner of the Business of the Year at the Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce 17th Annual Business Excellence Awards held March 10 at the Elks Hall.

“This inspiring award has been given out only a handful of times to a local business,” says the chamber’s executive director Claudia Blair. Other winners included Tickled Pink

Beauty Bar for the Greatest Improvement Award; Alley Katz Bistro for the Food Services Award; Kirsten Braumandl for Newsmaker of the Year; Williams Lake Men’s Rugby Club for

the Hospitality Tourism Award; Save-On Foods for Community Booster; Gibraltar Mine for the Manufacturer Award; Kornak & Hamm Pharmacy for Customer Service; and Karen Roberts for the

Hugo Stahl Memorial Award. In total, 91 nominations were received by the chamber for consideration. Blair was also recognized for her over 25 years of service.

Few attend city’s fourth budget meeting Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city’s fourth public budget meeting ended in frustration for some Wednesday evening, with less than half the agenda completed and no decisions finalized. Four members of the public attended the meeting; however, by the end of the evening only two had remained until the meeting was adjourned. Some of the councillors expressed concern that council was going through the budget “line by line,” while others insisted it was the only way to deal with the budget. “I have a hard time picking apart everything. I appreciate going through line by line, but I think we have to go on a certain amount of faith that it’s required. Everything we’re asking about, we keep getting the same answer that we need it

and that’s why it’s on the list,” said Coun. Geoff Bourdon minutes into the discussion, adding he thinks council’s role is to give overall direction on the budget. Mayor Kerry Cook replied that council had given overall direction previously, but that other council members wanted the opportunity to go through the budget item by item and ask questions. Coun. Sue Zacharias echoed Bourdon, saying council had all the requests in front of it back at the end of January. “We read them back then, that 120-page document. We had an opportunity and we asked a lot questions and I remember asking those same questions. I don’t think we can get through this and go through every single thing asking the same questions over and over,” Zacharais said.

Cook disagreed, saying council had not had a chance to go through the capital budgets. “We had the information, but we haven’t had the opportunity to have the discussion,” Cook said, adding at every meeting council has been asking when members would go through it and circle items for approval. It’s a transition year where council is trying to make the budget process more public and to address policy concerns around the budget process, Cook added. During the public comments portion of the meeting, Tolko Cariboo Regional Woodlands manager Tom Hoffman offered some feedback. “I sense the frustration, but I see a lack of leadership,” Hoffman said, adding he liked when councillors asked questions of staff about

certain items. By way of example, when he heard Coun. Laurie Walters ask if the city needed to purchase a skag mower or if it could rent one, or when Zacharias asked the same about a stump grinder, he heard staff reply they are used at certain times of the year. “If, for example, you said no we want to start a small business this year and employ some First Nations in our region, and then ask them if they are interested in purchasing a skag mower or a stump grinder, or talk to Tolko or West Fraser or any of the engineering firms and ask if we could use your plotters. And you know what? We’re there,” Hoffman told council, adding those examples would do a lot for the city to be more business friendly. Rather than going line by line, Hoffman sug-

gested council’s role is to state its objectives for the budget around increases and decreases and task staff to look at doing things differently. Pointing to examples in Quesnel and Prince George, Hoffman said Williams Lake has been out-manouervered: Quesnel, through its support behind a proposed First Nations Power Project, and in Prince George, where an idle sawmill is becoming a training centre. Elke Reiner questioned the validity of paying $20,000 for a dog park, and suggested that dog license fees need to be increased. She estimated fewer than 250 dog licenses are being purchased annually and said she doesn’t think that’s a high enough proportion of the population to warrant the city spending $20,000 on the park.

Not all vehicle theft incidents reported to ICBC, RCMP say Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The latest vehicle theft stats from ICBC indicate that vehicle thefts and break-ins continue to decline provincially, but also show that they only reflect part of the picture when it comes to Williams Lake. In a press release issued Thursday, ICBC stated that in Williams Lake, there were 33 per cent fewer vehicle theft incidents and 37 per cent fewer break-ins in 2011 compared to 2010. An ICBC chart shows 20 theft-from-vehicle incidents in 2011, a decrease from 30 theft-

from-vehicle incidents in 2010. Sgt. Richard Lebeuf of the Williams Lake RCMP says the RCMP’s stats are quite different. For example, they show 76 theft-from-vehicle incidents in 2010 and 109 theft-from-vehicle incidents in 2011, indicating an increase. “I think we get a lot more reported than what gets reported to ICBC,” Lebeuf says, adding not everybody goes through insurance. There has been a reduction of theft-of-vehicles though and that has been a result of pro-active enforcement, Lebeuf says.

Lebeuf says there’s been a 55 per cent decrease in the amount of theft-of-vehicles between 2010 and 2011, an 80 per cent reduction of theft of trucks over $5,000, and an 83 per cent reduction of trucks under $5,000. The bait program was introduced in Williams Lake in 2003, and vehicle crime rates spiked in 2007 and 2008, so Lebeuf doesn’t think the bait program has been much of a contributing factor to reducing vehicle crime. Instead, he suggests its pro-active, rather than reactive, enforcement that’s making the difference. “We had a slight de-

known offenders, Lebeuf adds. Citizens on Patrol are also out surveilling areas in the city that are known to have higher rates of vehicle thefts and breakins. “There’s more community awareness too, which means we’re receiving more reports of suspicious activities,” Lebeuf says.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Telus Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; revenues could fund services

Auto crime on the decline

f the Christy Clark government is so broke, why did it change its mind on the deal with Telus, which would have seen the corporation pay some $1.75 million a year for 20 years to rename BC Place â&#x20AC;&#x153;Telus Parkâ&#x20AC;?? This governm e n t French seems Connection bent on privaDiana French tizing everything from health care to hydro (and schools?) so why balk at renaming a facility that is mostly for the benefit of professionals? In my opinion such facilities should be built and operated by the corporations that use them so tax dollars could go to provide services to people. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost track of just how much BC Place ended up costing us. The last I heard it was more than $560 million and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just for the capital, not operating costs. As a taxpayer who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much use of BC Place, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind it being called Telus Park if the revenue received went to health care and education. *** Mary Mackie, a B.C. writer and most recently a well-known blogger, died last week.

Our Viewpoint

A pox on both their houses The battle between the B.C. Liberal Government and the British Columbia Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation has kicked up a notch. The rhetoric has escalated on both sides. Numbers are being manipulated to provide a presentable front for both sides, as they seek the favour of the general public. Highly paid spin doctors are busy spinning their webs of deceit by twisting truths and glossing over harmful facts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same old, same old. It is the same two big bullies duking it out in the public arena because both are power-hungry egomaniacs who only care for victory at whatever cost. So who is left to suffer in all of this mayhem? It is the students who are being kicked to the sidelines in the big boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;contract negotiations.â&#x20AC;? This nonsense also negatively impacts the emotions of their parents, and in some cases, the teachers and provincial politicians. The real victims, however, are our students who will be our future leaders. What are they learning from the display of ignorance and intolerance?

While the BCTF may be the unionized head of the public teaching profession, we believe its outrageous demands for salary increases and other benefits on behalf of our friendly, neighbourhood teachers are totally out of control and not part of the real world. We believe our local teachers want, and deserve, some more money, but not the world. As for the B.C. Liberals, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to the table offering no money, and at the same time, wanting to strip away teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seniority and other classroom governance. This government appears to be willing to do everything and anything it can to gain public approval before the next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial election. Are we surprised this is coming from a government that wants to dig itself out of the huge financial hole it dug by forcing the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Harmonized Sales Tax down our throats? The problem is there is no real alternative for the electorate to choose as a replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ken Alexander

Province wide, auto theft has gone down 20 per cent between 2010 and 2011 and is down 71 per cent since 2003. Theft from vehicles went down 13 per cent between 2010 and 2011 and is down 64 per cent since 2003. Here are the incredible Williams Lake statistics: â&#x20AC;˘ Between 2010 and 2011, auto theft decreased by 33 per cent â&#x20AC;˘ Since 2003, auto theft has gone down by a whopping 67 per cent â&#x20AC;˘ Between 2010 and 2011, theft from vehicles decreased by 37 per cent â&#x20AC;˘ Since 2003, theft from vehicles has gone down by 64 per cent The bait fleet includes cars, snowmobiles, boats, and trailers, and yesterday Minister of Justice Shirley Bond announced that commercial vehicles will be added to the list this year. Law enforcement across the province has also been successful in apprehending 77 out of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80 most notorious crime thieves. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your guard down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still incredibly important to be smart about locking up as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an integral part of this sweeping success story. Here are some helpful tips.Â Â Top seven ways to protect your vehicle from theft: 1. If you have an older vehicle not equipped with an immobilizer, use an anti-theft device. 2. Park in secure, well-lit areas. 3.Â Remove your valuables. 4.Â Always lock doors and close windows, even if you are just away from your vehicle for a few minutes. 5. Keep your garage door opener out of sight. 6.Â If parking on the street outside your residence, take your garage door opener with you. 7.Â Wait for the garage door gate to close behind you. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

More Viewpoints Does B.C. have an education plan for principals? Editor: The government and media again and again state that the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strike is all about wages. Well, personally I think there are a few more important things going on here as well. One of them is the increased power the province wants to place in principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands. In effect, the province wants

principals to have more control over hiring practices, such as being able to hire the short-listed candidate they feel is most â&#x20AC;&#x153;suitable,â&#x20AC;? with, if they so wish, no consideration of seniority. In addition, the province would like principals to review teacher performance and be able to tell teachers what they must do to get â&#x20AC;&#x153;better.â&#x20AC;? One should, however, question

A parking lot full of raspberries to the 20plus people who walked past my friend who had fallen on the brick path in front of the police station on Wednesday, Feb. 15 around noon. She had just delivered some crafting supplies to her friend who works in the RCMP office and was walking back to her car when she tripped and fell. At least 20 people went past her, six of them looking directly at her, and not one asked her is she was OK or if they could help. One person walked past her, giving her a look of disgust (her words) and proceeded on with his business. She sat on the cold ground for more than 20 minutes until her husband got there to help her. When he saw that she was badly hurt he called 911 and requested an ambulance. It was the 911 dispatcher who notified the

what qualifies the principals to do this. Who reviews the principals? In some cases, principals have little experience in the position of fulltime-teacher. Even if they do have extensive teaching experience, I argue that it is unlikely that a former intermediate specialist (grades 4-7), for example, will know much about what should happen in a Grade 2 class.

RCMP that there was someone hurt outside their office. Come on, People! I always tell folks how friendly the citizens of Williams Lake are and I still feel that is true. Perhaps we just need to be reminded to be aware of others around us. If you see someone struggling or who has fallen, ask if you can help. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortable with that, make a call to 911 or go into a business and let them know someone is hurt so they can notify the ambulance. Please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge others by the colour of their skin, their shape or size, their race, their gender, or by whatever they are wearing. One day it could be you on the ground in need of help from others. To my friend, I am so sorry you had to go through this awful experience. I hope your broken bones and your tendons and ligaments

Thus, we are left with the question: are principals capable of reviewing teacher performance at multiple grade levels, for example K-7 in elementary or 8-12 in high school? And are they capable of making appropriate hiring decisions? I suggest some are not, and that the provincial government is asking too much of them, while at the same time giving them too

A big bouquet of roses to the angel, Rick, from Gibraltar Mine. After our first Cariboo Cowgirl practice of the year, I was heading up a snow-covered Fox Mountain Road, returning new membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; horses when my four-wheel gave out. The truck was spinning and slipping and I finally gave up. Less than one minute after praying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord, help meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a fellow pulled along side and asked if I would like a tow up the hill. Thank you so much, Rick and family, for helping us out. We owe your kids a ride! From the Cariboo Cowgirls, Jen Wintjes and Wendy and Brittney Palesch

Help still needed for fire victims The City of Williams Lake would like to encourage residents to continue to assist those who were displaced during the Williams Inn fire on Feb. 24 These families are in desperate need to replace key household items, including: new/gently used beds, kitchen tables, kitchen chairs, sofas, kitchen household items such as microwaves/toasters/ silverware/cups/plates/new dish towels and cloths, new bathroom essentials such as towels/washcloths, new bedding, etc. Although some of these items were donated to these clients during the recent Cariboo Chilcotin Search and Rescue appeal to the community, assisting agencies still require these items for a number of people. If you have any of the above named items that you are able to share, please bring them to the local Salvation Army Thrift store at 267 Borland Street in Williams Lake and indicate they are intended for the Fire Evacuees.

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

THE ROADSHOW IS COMING T0 WILLIAMS LAKE: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 5 Days Only! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; TERRY INKLER Canadian Collectors Roadshow Staff Writer

he Roadshow has been travelling the country in search of hidden treasures and is coming to Williams Lake to see what surprises comes through the door! They will be appraising and buying everything from gold and silver jewellery and coins to antiques and collectibles. Now is the time to search through those old boxes containing the silverware you no longer want to polish, the jewellery you do not wear and the coin collections you would like to learn more about. The experts at the Roadshow will be more than happy to look through your old treasures, heirlooms and curiosities, free of charge. They will even make you an offer to buy anything their network of collectors are looking for. You could be in possession of something rare and sought after that could earn you a lot of money!!! At an event in Belleville, Ontario, a man named Larry Wilkes brought in an old jewellery box full of items he had inherited from family members, over the years. It contained gold and silver jewellery and even some costume jewellery that is desirable to collectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very pleased to see that there was this much value in that old box!â&#x20AC;? Larry commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never been much for jewellery so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was in there all these years.â&#x20AC;? Larry traded in his jewellery box for $3,700! Expert appraiser Luc Bergevin explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has never been a better time to sell gold or silver jewellery, flatware or coins. Many people are coming to realize that since the stock market prices of precious metals are now so high there is a lot of money to be made from things that are just collecting dust!â&#x20AC;? At an event, a woman named Lise Archambault arrived with a lot of silverware. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t polish itâ&#x20AC;?, Lise said. It turned out that among her unpolished silverware was a rare and beautiful Victorian coffee and tea service made in Lon-

don, England, in 1852 by Charles and George Fox. This set is highly desirable to collectors! Lise also had an assortment of newer sterling silverware. She decided to sell it all and received $5,000 for her items! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very happy that someone else could enjoy my silverware... but even happier that I can now take an overdue vacation!â&#x20AC;? Lisa joked. At another Roadshow event in Calgary, Alberta, a man named Carlos Miller brought in a sizeable coin collection, which included a rare 1966 Small Bead Canadian silver dollar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really pleased to see that coin, as it is very rare. We purchased it for $6,000. We also purchased an assortment of other coins from him for their silver content,â&#x20AC;? expert appraiser Lawrence Tyee explained. He went on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;more and more people are cashing in their coins for their silver content, which is wise because of how much silver is worth these days!â&#x20AC;? Canadian coins from 1968 or older and American coins from 1964 or older contain silver. Many older foreign coins contain silver too. If you are not sure, the experts at the Roadshow can quickly let you know which ones contain silver and which ones are rare! The Roadshow buys and appraises all kinds of antiques and collectibles. Appraiser Sandy Johnstone recounts one of her more memorable experiences: â&#x20AC;&#x153;While working in White Rock, B.C. a gentleman came to my table with two boxes full of things. In the second box he had a large collection of cast-iron banks that our collectors love and several tin wind-up toys which are also collectible...especially his tin wind-up Popeye on a tricycle made by Linemar in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It was still in its original box and in perfect condition. What a find! We wound up giving him over $2,000 for these gems! Everyone was super happy!â&#x20AC;?

The experts at the roadshow will be happy to teach you about what you have, let you know what it is worth and make offers to buy your treasures.

Master Your Money

The New Wealth Secret

A true story of an unlikely underdog who mastered the money game Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I find it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and strangers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up. Like it or not, money is what makes our society click. Canadians enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world, and money is a big part of the reason why.

about money. But Rob did approach him - and Frank told him Money is ALL about leverage. Frank then went on and shared with Rob one of the greatest lessons he had ever learned. When your money makes more money for you than your job does... then you are well on your way to financial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job - true financial independence begins when the money you invest is making

My name is Darren Weeks and I am one of the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about money. More specifically, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth. Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side in all situations... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis.

When you understand the rules of the game...the money will find you! My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 14 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million per year. On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.” My greatest pride in all of this?

Give us 3 hours of your time and we’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life.

you $25 an hour, without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months. Rob Met Darren Rob then came to a Get Rich in Canada event, hosted by myself... and was able to create a $4 million dollar property portfolio in just 24 months. As Rob says “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game - and how the game works - the money will find you! Now it’s my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience.”

Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy.

While he was building his portfolio of properties, Rob also took his health very seriously. Rob was overweight, had sleep apnea and was sluggish every waking hour.

Rob Chaulk came to one of my events in the Spring of 2008. He grew up in a family with a poor dad, and a rich dad (his uncle). So Rob had been given a good start on his money education. But it wasn’t enough.

Rob found a new lifestyle that had been long lost, and a money mindset that continues to help him and his family with all of the retirement and dreams.

Rob was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers in the energy and industrial sector. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. When Rob read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he took it seriously and within 30 days he bought his first rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years... his key to retirement. Right around this same time he had lunch with his rich dad (his multi-millionaire uncle). Not exactly an easy guy to talk to, his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach

Which of these would you like to put a permanent end to? • Constantly checking your bank balance to make sure there is enough left over to cover the monthly bills. • Worrying about how you will EVER get out of the rut and finally be able to start relaxing about money. • Arguing with your spouse about money and the challenges that come with a lack of it. • Dreaming about that vacation you have always wanted and needed, yet knowing it will never happen at the rate you are going now. • The fear that your children will be just as bad with their money as you have been. • Fretting over those unexpected expenses that come in – knowing full well you have to do a lot of shuffling to scrape together enough to cover them off. • The jealousy you feel when someone you know ends up doing well financially, knowing FULL WELL you are smarter than they are.

After dropping over 100 pounds

Is it your turn to master the money mindset? I am proud to share that my system has worked for everyone who aggressively applied it. You could be the one with a large real estate portfolio and a business or two that runs without you. ...Many people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life. My company has organized an event coming up in your city and I would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave.

Find out how to get out of bad debt and into wise investments. Discover how anyone, no matter how dire their circumstances, can go from rags to riches in 5 years or less. My students and business partners are prime examples of how you can start with nothing and build a very healthy investment portfolio and business in 5 years or less. The best part? We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both with specific examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace. Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family member with you and enjoy the journey to

wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95. Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this. Rob started off at a free event just like this. He heard about an event just like this put on by my company. He attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. He is now financially independent and able to live life on his own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.WilliamsLakeGetRich.com and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well. Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action. If a completely unknown individual can be in the same situation you are and become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action. Stop what you are doing right now and get your seat booked. Dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.WilliamsLakeGetRich.com and reserve your seat there. PS: The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!” Your success demands an investment of your time and money... and we are handing you a grand opportunity to improve your odds of success many times over. Join us for an incredible journey – with a proven way to make 2012 the year you’ve always wanted. *Darren Weeks is not always the presenter at Fast Track events

The Canadian Collectors Roadshow will be in Williams Lake this week prepared to help people determine the value of jewelry, antiques and collectibles they may have had laying around for years and want to sell. Organization president Eric Dvorkin says it can be incredibly exciting to find out what your old coins and jewelry are worth — not to mention surprising. “People inherit stuff or have been sitting on pieces for the past 20 or 30 years while it’s been collecting value,” he says, “and they have no idea what they actually have.” Gold, silver, jewelry and precious metals are some of the most popular items the appraisers see and can be worth a remarkable amount of money. He says the value of gold and silver pieces presented is based on the market price of where gold and silver are at on a daily basis but for some, explains Dvorkin, it’s about getting something — anything — out of

pieces that would otherwise collect dust. “Times are tough right now and every little bit helps,” he says. “I’ve seen people walk out in tears because they were so surprised at what their stuff was worth and they finally don’t have to worry about coming up short on their bills.” Dvorkin says three appraisers will be on site at the Canadian Collectors Roadshow when it visits Williams Lake this week, March 15 to 19. He says they will be set up in the Williams Inn conference room each day from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. to help people assess the value of silver, gold, small antiques, old paintings and collectibles they may wish to bring in for appraisal and possibly sell. For antiques and collectibles he says they pay 65 to 70 per cent of the market value on lower end antiques and coins, more for very old, rare items that are in the best condition. He says they have a huge database of private collectors through which

the lower end items are re-sold. Higher end items they purchase may be resold through Maynard’s Auctions in Vancouver and the “really, really” high-end items will be re-sold at Christies or Sotheby’s auction houses in New York. He says items of jewelry that may have antique value can garner up to double the melt value or more depending on the item and its condition. But he says the very high-end antique items more than 100 years old are rare finds. What they see most of in smaller communities such as Williams Lake are more recent pieces of gold and silver jewelry, silver tea sets and cutlery, war memorabilia, smaller antiques such as vases and night stands and the like. He says bayonets and medals from the World Wars have been known to garner a fair value but the rarer pieces such as medals from generals are more in-demand. With the 100-year anniversary of the First World War approaching in 2014, memorabilia

from that time is also of great value. Even those soft and cuddly teddy bears passed down from generation to generation could be worth a pretty penny — more specifically, Steiff bears from the German-based company that began producing teddy bears in 1902. French dolls made from porcelain or wax may also garner impressive value. He says dolls 100 years or older made in these ways can fetch anywhere from $25 into the thousands of dollars. But he says it is very rare to find antique wax dolls in good condition today simply because wax breaks down with time. When it comes to coins, the less there are of a particular one, the more value it holds, he says. “The 1948 Canadian silver dollar is the most valuable silver dollar right now,” says Dvorkin. “Only 19,000 were minted, while hundreds of millions of other coins are currently in circulation. In good condition, these coins can get

anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000.” Fifty-cent pieces and nickels from 1921 are also in demand, fetching up to $20,000. Dimes, quarters, 50-cent pieces and silver dollars minted before 1968, says Dvorkin, could be of great value just for the silver contents of them. Most surprising of all, however, is the value of certain 1936 pennies; one of the four currently in circulation was recently sold in auction for $400,000, he says.

The concert start time is 7 p.m. “This is an opportunity not to be missed,” says Hal Giles, who plays with the Old Time Fiddlers. Trottier blends traditional Celtic, contemporary country, folk, bluegrass and western swing with her inspired fiddle and vocal arrangements.

and playing. She has performed for Canadian soldiers in the Middle East and for the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic and has six independent recordings to her credit. Trottier spent nine years touring North America with the very successful Bowfire entourage, often described as “the finest line-up of fiddle and violin virtuosi ever assembled on one stage.” Greg Simm has been a mainstay on the Nova Scotia music scene for more than 30 years. He has performed with artists as diverse as Denny Doherty, Lennie Gallant, Natalie MacMaster and Old Man Ludecke and has appeared on more
