Counterfeit bills being circulated

Proudly serving Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin since 1930

The Williams Lake RCMP is advising that counterfeit $50 bills are being circulated in Williams Lake. A financial institution in the city reported to police that it received a counterfeit $50 note. Police say the note is of poor quality; it looks very weathered, shorter than a genuine note, and the metallic strip is of poor quality. People are advised to take a second look at such notes before accepting them.

Windstorm causes mass power outages Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Monday’s wind gusts of up to 65 kilometres an hour caused power outages in and around Williams Lake, affecting around 5,000 customers. Some customers were without power for a couple of hours, while others waited longer. By the next day, however, power had been restored. Several outages were caused by trees down on hydro wires, says BC Hydro. The biggest areas hit were east of Highway 97, affecting 2,652 customers; west of Dog Creek Road, affecting 2,105 customers; east of Likely Road, with

875 customers affected; and within Williams Lake, the largest being in the 600 block of Carson Drive, where 82 customers were without power. BC Hydro community relations manager Bob Gammer says removing fallen trees from hydro lines is the company’s responsibility. “People are going to look around and think their power is out so it’s OK to remove a tree, but we say no because you just never know what could happen,” Gammer says. Crews might be out working to restore power, didn’t see that tree, and the line could suddenly be energized while somebody is trying to cut it down. The tree could be

energized and that could be fatal. “If people see a tree on a line we want them to call us at 1-888-POWERON,” he explains. Even if people see wires down on the ground, a broken hydro pole, or a tree smashed through and caused damage, they are encouraged to let hydro know. People are also encouraged to stay at least 10 metres away from any downed lines. While smart meters have been installed at many homes in the region, Gammer says they wouldn’t have helped let BC Hydro know where power outages were and how many customers were affected. By this time next year, how-

ever, the meters will be help BC Hydro know much sooner because customer calls alerting an outage won’t be necessary. “The smart meter will actually be able to do that job next year. For those who are getting a meter on their home it does not immediately start doing that job. It will continue to function like an older meter in that it will record all the consumption information, just like an old meter did, and we will still need a meter reader to come around and record the consumption data. In 2013, the system will start doing that wireless communication and then BC Hydro will know automatically when and where there are power outages.

Shoplifting, breaches among RCMP reports Between March 7 and March 11, the RCMP received a range of calls, from fights to a vandalism. March 7: • A report of a dog attacking calves around Fox Mountain Road was received by the RCMP, and remains under investigation. • When a vehicle travelling at a high speed on Mackenzie Avenue South was stopped, the male driver provided a false name. Upon further investigation it was revealed he did not have a driver’s license so the vehicle was impounded and the driver charged. • An RCMP road check on Highway 97 resulted in two no-insurance tickets and one notice on a prohibited driver. • A curfew check found an individual compliant and checks into local drinking establishments showed no violations. March 8: • A gas cover was removed from a company van parked near a business sometime overnight, but no suspects have surfaced in the investigation. • Overnight a red Toyota Tacoma parked on 11th Avenue had its headlights smashed and its right-side panel dented. It is believed the incident took place around 4 a.m.. There are no suspects at this time. • A male breaching his court conditions was arrested and held for court. • RCMP were advised that two brothers were fighting. Upon their arrival, police discovered one had bear sprayed the other. One brother was

arrested for breach of his court conditions and for the use of the weapon and was held for court. March 9: • A male picked up on an immigration warrant was held the following day for deporting. • A male broke into his ex-girlfriend’s residence on Broadway Avenue, proceeded to threaten her and damage her property. Investigation into the matter is underway. • After a male turned himself in for his involvement in a domestic assault, he was brought before a Justice of the Peace and released with conditions. • Upon responding to the report of a fight involving wooden bats near Second Avenue, RCMP learned three individuals were arguing and one person, waiving a bat, had demanded the other two people leave. • RCMP received a report of 10 people involved in a fight, but by the time they arrived on the scene only a few people remained. No one would divulge details about what had transpired. No charges were laid. • Curfew checks found that 16 people were compliant. March 10: • Security stopped a male outside a local grocery store and discovered he had stolen a bag of potato chips. Officers attended and arrested him because he was on conditions not to go into the particular store. He is being charged with theft, assault and breach of probation. • A male was arrested

for breaching his nosmoking marijuana condition. It was his second breach in less than two weeks. • When a male refused to give two suspects a cigarette, he was assaulted outside a local business. The incident was caught on surveillance video and the matter is still under investigation. • A mother reported that her daughter was running around town in-

toxicated and wearing no shoes. The RCMP, with help from the taxi and security companies, conducted patrols, and while she was observed several times, she managed to walk between homes and escape capture. She later returned home safely. • All individuals were found to be compliant during 18 curfew checks. March 11: • When the RCMP re-

sponded to a 911 hang-up call, they learned a male and female were having a verbal argument. The male agreed to leave and go to a friend’s house overnight. • No issues were reported during checks at local drinking establishments. • During 11 curfew checks, one individual was found to be noncompliant. Charges are being recommended.

SA addictions treatment program starts April 2 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer An intensive non-residential treatment program for people whose lives have been negatively impacted due to substance use, misuse and abuse begins April 2 at the Salvation Army in Williams Lake. Free for participants, the program will run for eight weeks from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. “We’re accepting referrals,” says program director Steve Hakes who began working as an addictions counsellor for the Salvation Army in February. With a background in addictions counselling, Hakes is confident the program will be unique because it will offer some new approaches. “We’ll be using what’s

Salvation Army addictions counsellor Steve Hakes is starting a non-residential program for people negatively impacted by substance abuse, misuse and abuse. The program starts April 2, is free, and open to people 19 years and over.

called laughter yoga twice a week and we’re going to utilize humour,” Hakes says, adding a local instructor will teach him, and between the two of them it should be fun.

The theory behind the laughter yoga is that substance abusers or uses are depleting their serotonin, dopamine and other chemicals in the brain so their ability to experience happiness

and enjoyment is severely impaired. Laughter has the effect of causing the brain to secrete these chemicals again and help them feel better, Hakes says, adding the old adage is true.

“Laughter really is the best medicine.” The program will also incorporate physical activities, and participants will be encouraged to become involved with volunteer activities/

“We’ll do work on spirituality and there’ll be a cognitive behavioural focus. I’m really excited, I think it has great potential.” The program will also encompass psycho-

educational programming, group therapy, one-on-one counselling, life skills and Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. And after completing the program, participants will also be able to access a threemonth, follow-up support component. Registration began the first week of March and there is room for a total of 10 participants in the first run of the program. Hakes welcomes referrals from industry, business, community agencies and individuals. At the end of the eight weeks, Hakes will take a week off to assess what worked and what didn’t work and then the program will start up again. For more information contact Hakes at 250305-2492 or wladdictions@shaw.ca.

Gibraltar Mine development plan progresses Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Taseko Mines Limited announced this week it has seen a gross profit of $86.3 million and net earnings of $27 million ($0.14 per share) for the year ending Dec. 31, 2011. Highlights outlined in a press release from the company show that revenues for 2011 were $251.9 million from the sale of 60.8 million pounds of copper and 974,000 pounds of molybdenum. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $60.5 million from the sale of 15.5 million pounds of copper and 269,000 pounds of molybdenum.

Locally Gibraltar’s total production for the year was 82.9 million pounds of copper and 1.3 million pounds of molybdenum. Fourth quarter production was 22.3 million pounds of copper and 388,000 pounds of molybdenum. In addition, capital projects for the year totalled $63.9 million, of which $56.1 million was spent on the Gibraltar Development Plan 3 (GDP3). Company president and CEO Russell Hallbauer says construction of Gibraltar Development Plan 3 is progressing as planned, on time and on budget. All major equipment has been purchased for the concentrator, molybdenum plant, and

infrastructure, shipment of the long lead items has begun, foundations have been laid, and erection of the new buildings is well underway. Gibraltar’s expansion will also mean an additional 170 full-time jobs, plus between 60 and 70 contractors working at the site. Vice-president of corporate affairs Brian Battison says in 2012 the company will continue on with new spending on Gibraltar to conclude its $325 million investment, which will take the mine’s production capability from 80 million pounds of copper per year to 180 million pounds of copper per year. “What does this mean for Williams Lake? It

means a vital part of the local economy will remain strong and, barring some kind of calamity drastically affecting the world price of copper, people here in this region can rely on Gibraltar to continue to operate, employ people and spend money for a long time yet. Currently the mine life stretches out 27 years into the future,” Battison says. He says 2011 was “a building year for Taseko,” and long-term value is being added to the company by building its assets. “Two of those key assets are right here in the Williams Lake/Cariboo region — the Gibraltar Mine and New Prosperity,” he says. On Nov. 8, 2011, the

Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency posted the notice of commencement regarding the New Prosperity project, indicating the federal assessment is now underway. On Feb. 28, 2012 a work program commenced on site for the purpose of obtaining information required for the federal environmental review. “We continue to move forward with New Prosperity’s federal environmental review process, which began in November 2011,” Hallbauer says. “The Minister of the Environment indicated that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) would use information gathered in the previous en-

vironmental assessment to support the new process. We expect the panel meetings to begin over the next few months.” In the northern part of the province, a $20-million program has commenced at Aley, 140 kilometres north of Mackenzie, to advance that project into the feasibility and engineering stages. This program will further define the ore body, support the environmental baseline studies and inform the project feasibility study. It will also provide the basis for preliminary engineering and mine site planning, Hallbauer says. Included in the program is the construction of road access to the site, a contract awarded to the Tsay Keh

Dene First Nations road building firm. According to Taseko, realized copper prices were US$3.89 per pound in 2011, compared to US$3.60 per pound in 2010, and the London Metal Exchange average price of US$4 per pound. The difference from the LME average price stems from the timing of shipments of copper. “Our strategy is to create shareholder value by growing the company organically, controlling capital and operating costs, and executing our projects in a sound, technical manner. Taseko looks forward to managing our diversified project pipeline and enhancing shareholder value in 2012,” Hallbauer says.

CRD expects to make budget targets Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It looks like the Cariboo Regional District will hit the mark when it comes to meeting its budget targets for its 2012 Five Year Financial Plan. Combining everything it’s anticipated the district will increase its requisitions by 2.4 per

cent, which includes a 1.7 per cent increase for inflation and the other 0.7 per cent is for the equivalent of one fulltime equivalent position for bylaw enforcement and in economic development for Area F. “One of the complaints we’ve had at our town hall meetings over the last three years is that when we have one bylaw

enforcement officer for over 80,000 square kilometers, we’re not getting there fast enough,” says CRD chair Al Richmond. The bylaw officer, he adds, covers all infractions, except for roads, ranging from barkingdog complaints to building codes. During the recent town hall meetings, both posi-

tive and negative comments arose regarding adding an extra bylaw officer, stated chief administrative officer Janis Bell and chief financial officer Scott Reid in a report to the board. Richmond says an exciting revelation for the board is that the final numbers coming in are showing the CRD is going to be able to pay off

its debt for the Quesnel and 100 Mile House libraries earlier than anticipated. “We’ll be able to pay most of the debt off by 2012, and the remainder in 2013. Originally we’d thought it would be 2015 before we were able to do that,” Richmond says, adding there were some surpluses in the library budget.

More jobs to come at Gibraltar I

had a very business-oriented week last week, with visits to two new local businesses, and then Saturday night I attended the Business Excellence Awards. Each month, I send a letter welcoming each new business in town, and a few are selected for visits. I had From the the opMayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portuChair nity to Kerry Cook v i s i t both One More Slice Pizza on North Broadway, where the pizza is great, and 3 Gen Cabinetry on Oliver Street, where they offer cabinets, countertops and lighting. I wish both these new businesses well. The Business Excellence Awards were phenomenal, as always. I want to thank the Chamber of Commerce for this initiative, part of its continued dedication to encouraging and recognizing excellence and improvement. Congratulations to all the winners. The fact that the chamber received 91 nominations is more proof that our business community is vibrant and constantly improving. I applaud you all. Last year, Gibraltar Mine announced a $350-million expansion, and last week at our leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table, we had an update showing the positive effect on our employment. The mine has already started to add jobs and currently has about 500 full-time employees. That number is going to rise to 670 by the end of the year. In addition to 170 more full-time jobs, there are between 60 and 70 contractors working on the site, and that number is expected to rise to 200 or more during the peak of the expansion this summer. This capital expansion is great news for our community. Williams Lake celebrates our 83rd birthday on Thursday. I will cut the cake at the museum at 1:30 p.m. Hope to see you there! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Laughter part of the solution In a couple of weeks, the Salvation Army will begin a new program aimed at helping those whose lives have been negatively impacted by substance abuse. For eight weeks, starting April 2, participants will take part in the program that utilizes humour and laughter yoga, which is believed to deplete serotonin, dopamine, and other chemicals in the brain that tend to impair happiness and enjoyment. The program also encompasses psycho-educational programming, group therapy, one-on-one counselling, life skills, and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. And once the program is completed, participants will also have access to a follow-up support component. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a forward-thinking and creative idea, because as Salvation Army addictions counsellor Steve Hakes says in the story on page A3, â&#x20AC;&#x153;laughter really is the best medicine.â&#x20AC;?

We hope the program proves to be successful and that more projects like this will be initiated. Such programs are needed in our community to help people overcome such a heavy and complex issue such as addiction. While there are also other programs in place to help, its inception greatly adds to that wider network of support. Few people addicted to drugs and alcohol can stop using without help â&#x20AC;&#x201D; strong willpower is not enough. They often require support from community-based programs, such as this new program, in conjunction with structured treatment. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that all people, regardless of whether they have a substance-abuse problem, be treated with humanity and respect. Those who would like to be part of the solution should visit the Canadian Mental Health Association website at http://www.cmha.bc.ca/.

fear that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;robocallâ&#x20AC;? scandal rocking Ottawa will simply cause more voters to walk away from the political system in disgust. The majority of eligible voters has already walked away from the ballot box and young people, for the most part, have not bought into this essential component of our representative democracy. But, if the shenanigans surrounding the l a s t MLA federal Musings election chase Bob Simpson e v e n m o r e voters away, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll simply enable even more radical erosions of our democratic systems. Unfortunately, the unethical conduct of political parties goes well beyond the current example of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;win at all costâ&#x20AC;? robocalls. Negative ads are by their very nature unethical; they are thinly disguised character assassinations designed specifically to chase voters away from the ballot box. MPs in the Canadian Parliament voted unanimously in support of a federal NDP motion to give Elections Canada more powers to supervise the federal political parties. This is a good start and, hopefully, the Harper government will ensure these powers are given as soon as possible. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see Elections BC given more powers as well. For example, the power to oversee candidate nominations and party membership lists, oversight of party leadership contests, and the ability to more fully scrutinize party fundraising and spending activities. But true oversight rests with citizens. The only way to really address questions of ethics in our system is for more citizens to become more informed and more engaged in the political process. Not just at election time, but every day. After all, democracy is supposed to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;rule by the people.â&#x20AC;? If â&#x20AC;&#x153;the peopleâ&#x20AC;? abdicate their responsibilities as citizens by walking away from the ballot box then they have no one to blame but themselves when their democracy is lost. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Development cuts dependence Question of the week Editor: Â It seems sad that Ervin Charleyboy appears to be targeted for standing up for what he believes in. Everywhere in Canada communities are working hard to keep their young people in their home community. To achieve keeping young people in a community, it simply comes down to job creation. If a community is not developing new sources of local employment and job opportunities, children who wish to capitalize on their education and skills must seek new horizons. This loss of developing and educated maturing children occurs even in communities such as Williams Lake. The advantage that the cityÂ has is that there are several employers large and small that can provide some employment opportunities for a percentage of these maturing children. Regardless, the City of Williams Lake must continually work at find-

ing new potential employers and attract them to this community. Almost every community similar to Williams Lake has been founded on some form of basic economic development. Having one industry located in or near a community attracts other investments or services. It is this growing interest in a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs that makes a community attractive for others to invest in that community. Few First Nations communities have the opportunity to attract such investments to their community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most are increasingly dependent on government sources for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very survival. As we see in Greece, as that countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy has failed, public services are cut and in some cases eliminated. Should Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy ever fail as Greeceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has, there will be less money for all, including First Nations communities.

First Nations communities that desire to raise their community population above the poverty level, as government funding is often very minimal and can be reduced at any time, must seek out other sources of reliable revenue, as many progressive First Nations communities are doing now. Trapping appears to be gone, tourism can only offer a small slice of the pie, guiding is much restricted and regulated, ranching is increasingly a rich personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, and forestry is coming to its limit. Ervin Charleyboy is one man who can see the writing on the wall. A failure to read the signs will see many First Nations communities over time, without a growing population of maturing children, becoming increasingly dependent on an ever-reducing federal revenue source.

City should have been fire-guarded Editor: The auditor generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent report stated that the forests of B.C. are in a deplorable condition because the Ministry of Forests has not been doing its job. The pine beetle â&#x20AC;&#x153;epidemicâ&#x20AC;? began 45 years ago. Beetle-killed trees were seen at Lignumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tatlayoko mill in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s. Residents were told that these bugs â&#x20AC;&#x153;were part of the natural cycle.â&#x20AC;? Now these beetles have swept through the province, into Alberta, and the U.S., virtually unstoppable. Origins of the MPB are uncertain, the accepted explanation being global warming. Regardless of origin, the attacked timber should have been burned. However, this was not done, and fire suppression crews controlled wildfires. In the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s beetle-killed trees were transported from the

Kleena Kleene valley to Anahim Lake, when the bugs were flying. Once the dispersion of the beetles started, more areas were attacked in Tweedsmuir Park. There should have been a harvest strategy, but it seems there was no plan at all. Response to the MPB was minimal until Bill Kordyban senior and Carrier Lumber started milling beetle-kill timber around Anahim Lake. Their forest licence was cancelled by the NDP in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s (lumber prices were $450/mbf. at that time). Following a B.C. Supreme Court ruling, the company was awarded $150 million due to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistake. Then, in 1996, Forest Renewal B.C. decided to fund value-added projects, a purely political decision. Value-added businesses were a great success story, and several families did very well, but not much renewing of the forest took

place. Likewise, the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beetle action committee had more inaction, becoming a gravy train for member groups, and funded projects unrelated to the MPB. The workÂ simply never got done. Now the unharvested pines are falling over, making access to these areas impossible. Millions of cubic meters of timber have been lost. The pine makes excellent framing lumber, and is our most valuable species for remanufacture. So why were these trees not harvested and hundreds of workers hired to restore the health of our forests? Williams Lake should have been fire-guarded. That would seem to be a priority. Imagine a wildfire moving towards the city with a wind behind it. More preventive work should be done.

High school students test the waters for RCMP service Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer A week-long RCMP Youth Academy is taking place in the lakecity this week complete with role-play scenarios involving emergency service groups. School District 27 Cariboo Chilcotin in partnership with the Williams Lake RCMP detachment and School District 74 Gold Trail brought together 19 Grade 11 and 12 students from the two districts for the training which began Saturday, March 10. The training, which is a first for Williams Lake, entails a condensed version of the training similar to what RCMP recruits experience during their sixmonth training in Regina, says Gord Armour, School District 27 coordinator for transition,

training and trades programs. Local RCMP officers have volunteered their time and expertise to conduct the training which is taking place at Thompson Rivers University and Columneetza Secondary School. The program, designed to place students in an RCMP Academy environment, involves instruction and lectures on law, police tactics, social skills, physical training, self-defense and a variety of other topics. Students are also involved in role-playing scenarios, taking on the role of a police officer, Armour says. Tuesday evening one of those scenarios was held in the Columneetza parking lot and created a vehicle accident involving a drunk driver and injured victims. The trainees were

Sam Nakatsu, who developed the scenario and was among police officers participat-

Locals medal at WKC provincials Greg Sabatino photo

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Fifty martial artists from around the province stormed the Columneetza gymnasium Saturday where the World Karate and Kickboxing Council Provincial Championships took centre stage. Athletes competed in kata, team kata, point fighting and continuous fighting throughout the day with multiple berths at the WKC National Championships on the line. From Williams Lake 23 local Shogun Martial Arts Academy students took part, joining martial artists from Smithers and Terrace for the event. Divisions in each event were determined by gender, age and weight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not by belt level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and competitors ranged from six years old to a 42 and over division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of the 50 that competed almost all of them competed in more than one event,â&#x20AC;? said Williams Lake Shogun Martial Arts Academy Sensei Lee-Ann Lainchbury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some competed in all four, and went all day from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.â&#x20AC;? From the Williams Lake dojo, 21 competitors medalled. The top four in each division qualify for nationals; however, competitors under eight years old are not allowed to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone improved a lot,â&#x20AC;? Lainchbury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year the level of competition increases. From year to year we see a big difference in the competitors in terms of their abilities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot more polished and have more experience.â&#x20AC;? On top of the martial arts events a Capoeira demonstration took place at noon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Brazilian martial art developed by slaves to practice the discipline while not alerting their captors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was used by slaves to keep practicing without their captors realizing they were doing fighting training because it looks like dancing and is done with drums and a berimbau (a single-stringed instrument).â&#x20AC;? The WKC nationals go in Montreal over the May Long weekend. Lainchbury said the leap in the level of competition is a big step, and one local competitors will be preparing for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost everyone there will be a black belt, or a brown belt,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding Eastern Canada, especially Ontario, has lots of opportunities for its athletes to compete

Pretty much every weekend thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for them to compete.â&#x20AC;? Renschi Marwan Abu Khadra, head of the WKC and coach of Team B.C., said he expects the province will have strong representation at nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the team will be a little stronger than last year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our province will be represented by about 40 to 50 people there, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be strong, and we hope to have some qualifiers for the world championships following that.â&#x20AC;? Lainchbury said the Williams Lake Shogun Martial Arts Academy would like to thank the Williams Lake Wrestling Club for the use of the mats, the Columneetza secondary teachers and principal, School District 27 and all of the volunteers that helped with the tournament.

Cariboo Canucks player Drew Rose looks to get around the Outlaws’ Dave Garnes Friday during the Williams Lake Recreational Hockey Division ‘A’ final.

Canucks, Firemen take titles Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It was a seesaw affair last Friday night, but the Cariboo Canucks managed a 12-9 win over the Outlaws in the ‘A’ division final of the Williams Lake Recreational Hockey League. The ‘B’ division final needed double overtime to be settled, but the Firemen overcame O-Netrix, 6-5, for the championship. Wilfred Robbins potted a hat trick and both Drew Rose and Duane Alphonse scored twice for the Canucks, while

Duncan Peeman got the win between the pipes. Jason Hufty scored four times and Nathan Zurak tallied a hat trick for the Outlaws in the contest. In the ‘B’ division final Lee Williston scored twice and added an assist for O-Netrix, while Cliff Chapman lit the lamp three times and contributed a helper for the Firemen. The playoffs began early February with six teams in each division battling down, via bracket format, to last Friday’s finals. O-Netrix punched their

On the ‘A’ side the Cariboo Canucks beat Stone, 10-5, while the Outlaws downed PMT, 5-3, in the semis. Bruce Mack, league organizer, said following Friday’s matchups he thinks the season was a success. “It was a really good season,” he said, adding the league has around 200 players, annually. “We play a longer regular season and then kind of a short playoffs.

But the emphasis is on fun.” Mack said the league’s popularity is a doubleedged sword — while it’s nice to have a full 12team league with two divisions, he said it’s hard to tell people there isn’t room to fit them in. “We always have more guys than we can have play interested,” he said. “We cap at 12 teams, and we have four teams on the wait list to get in, just because of the ice time we have available.” Regular season play began early October with a 20-game regular season, prior to playoffs.

Aboriginal youth tourney starts Friday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Tomorrow, hundreds of hockey players from around the province will take to the ice at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for the Fifth Annual Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament. Games start Friday at 4:30 p.m. with the Peewee division’s Little Warriors taking on the Longhorn Juniors. Saturday, the tournament’s always elaborate

opening ceremony takes place at noon on rink one featuring traditional First Nations drumming and singing while teams are introduced to the audience. Sheila Kelalst Booth, president of the Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Sports Association, said chiefs and council members are invited to attend the opening ceremony. “Drummers are welcome to kick off the tournament,” she said. “All chiefs and councils

and dignitaries are invited to attend and can register when they arrive to be acknowledged.” Teams competing in the tournament are from Good Fish Lake, Alta., Fort St. John, Prince George, Chase and Williams Lake. Divisions being contested at the tournament include initiation/novice, atom, peewee, bantam and midget. All teams are guaranteed at least two games with the tournament finals in each division

being played Sunday morning and afternoon. Raffle tables will be set up and 50/50 draws will be taking place all weekend. The CBCAYHSA also puts out a call for logo submissions from youth each year to be featured on the tournament sweatshirts. This year’s winner was Dayna Smith of Williams Lake who incorporated a raven, an eagle and bear, plus the tournament’s name, into her design.

Williams Lake’s Dayna Smith won this year’s Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament logo contest with the above drawing.

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.

fter a successful week in Salmon Arm, the roadshow will be coming to Williams Lake from March 20th-March 24th! So you better search through your attics and basements, go through your lock boxes and jewelry, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold, and silver. During our show in Victoria, a woman came in with a jewelry box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear jewelry,â&#x20AC;? explained Cheryl Barnes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell itâ&#x20AC;?. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewelry she was never going to wear anyways. Expert Cliff Edwards explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently trading at. He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Roadshow is great because it puts money in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewelry boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot! â&#x20AC;?. At another Roadshow event, a woman walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her DV D \RXQJ FKLOG E\ KHU JUDQGIDWKHU 6KH ÂżQDOO\ GHFLGHG to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Raymond Flack explains â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She also had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver contentâ&#x20AC;?. All in all, Roadshow customer Linda Donaldson was able to cash in with $4,500! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linda explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never would have thought WKDW P\ ROG WLQ RI FRLQV ZDV ZRUWK VR PXFK , FDQ ÂżQDOO\ afford to renovate my kitchen.â&#x20AC;? Raymond Flack continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy,â&#x20AC;? Linda explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never would have thought that my old tin of coins ZDV ZRUWK VR PXFK , FDQ ÂżQDOO\ DIIRUG WR renovate my kitchen.â&#x20AC;?

Any generous donation given during the promotion periodâ&#x20AC; to the Heart and Stroke Foundation will be matched dollar for dollar by the Great Canadian Roadshow up to a maximum of $50,000 received in donations.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams brings ancient drawings to public Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune You probably have heard of the Chauvet Cave in Southern France, the oldest cave preserved with incredible paintings and bones ever found, up to 32,000 years old, maybe even older. But what is a couple more thousand years? You would love to see the cave â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it is closed to the public. Now the Chauvet Cave is coming to you, right here in Williams Lake.

The Williams Lake Film Club will bring you the film Cave of Forgotten Dreams by world-renowned German director Werner Herzog this coming Tuesday, March 20, at 7 p.m. at the Gibraltar Room. In the ArdĂ¨che Region in Southern France a museum has been constructed at Vallon Pont dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arc that provides visitors with an experience of the prehistoric environment, flora and fauna, and lifestyle of the painters as well as reproductions and movies about the paintings and

other findings in the cave. But we are invited to go along with Werner Herzog. One of the most successful documentaries of all time from the incomparable Werner Herzog, Cave of Forgotten Dreams provides a breathtaking cinematic experience following an exclusive expedition into the Chauvet Cave, home to the most ancient pictorial art ever discovered. We are introduced to a series of archeologists, art historians and other scientists and academics, who

have been studying the cave since its discovery in 1994 by three amateur spelunkers. Herzog and his tiny crew have received permission from the scientists and the French Minister of Culture to film the cave â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only time any filmmakers have been offered the chance to do agreeing, in his inimitable style, to become an employee of the French government for one fully taxable Euro.

Caves closed to public Continued From Page A17 Herzog had to obtain special equipment to do the filming, lights (which are not emitting so much heat), and wheels, which do not churn up the dust. Aluminum catwalks were brought in and erected on six-inch high legs to protect the floor of the cave. A network of scientific apparatus constantly monitors the temperature and humidity of the cave. And each day the tiny crew of four were only permitted to stay in the

adds a whole new dimension to the documentary. It even is suggested that the cave might be the birthplace of the human soul, “homo spiritus” — man awakened to the

timeless, transcendental power of art. We do not have the 3D version, but there are critics who prefer the regular filming. Let’s find out for ourselves. As the critic for the New York Times says: “What a gift Werner Herzog offers us with Cave of Forgotten Dreams.” Let us accept this gift and enjoy it together next Tuesday, March 20. Admission is $9 regular, $8 for members of the club, $6 for seniors (65-plus) and students, high school and TRU. Everyone is welcome!

Barbecue includes snow machine runs Rhonda Kolcun Special to The Tribune More than 100 community members and friends attended the winter barbecue held in downtown McLeese Lake in late February. It was an incredibly successful event as there were more attendees

than originally anticipated. It was a day filled with fun which included skating, snow machine timed runs and a lot of visiting with friends and family. Everyone was treated to a delicious free lunch sponsored by the McLeese Lake Recreation Society.

Lunch included beef dip, chili, hot dogs, coffee and hot chocolate. The event was organized by Howie Chamberlin, Jackie King, Greg Foster and Ken Beck. Dave Comeau, Lee Zilkowsky, Darcy Gregor, Howie and Greg all prepared a great ice rink for everyone to en-

Living Wild show returns to lakecity Safari Jeff’s popular Living Wild show returns to Williams Lake next week. Safari Jeff and his partner Shannon have been touring their Living Wild show in Canada for more than 10 years and have more than 15 years experience inspiring audiences of all ages to have a deeper appreciation of animals and the environment we all share. Along with their family of captive-born reptiles, this team of naturalists offer a once in a lifetime experience, encouraging an up close and personal opportunity with some of the world’s most exotic animals such as giant tortoises, crocodiles, snakes, lizards and frogs, to mention a few. During the educational, interactive live

stage show visitors learn about the habitat of these reptiles and about protecting them for future generations. “The fate of most of these amazing creatures lies in our hands and the secret lies ... in education,” says Safari Jeff. This highly entertaining show not only features live animals but a multi-media outlet of large, flat-screen televisions, lights, sound, life-sized dinosaur bone replicas, original art work and creative props. After the show, people are given an opportunity to get close to the animals, take their own pictures with them, and have Safari Jeff and Shannon sign autographs.

some of the country music superstars I have grown up listening to at the VIP reception after the show. Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners from that evening. While in Toronto, I attended many inspirational women’s events including the eWomen-

WEEKLY

MORTGAGE MESSAGE Making Your Mortgage Interest Tax Deductible To make your mortgage interest tax deductible you must be able to prove that the money is being reinvested and is not being used for personal expenses. When you opt for a tax-deductible mortgage interest plan you make your monthly mortgage payments the same way you would when making any type of mortgage payment. Your payments go towards reducing the principal amount of the mortgage and are then moved over to a line of credit as the mortgage is paid down. In order to be tax-deductible the funds must then be transferred to an investment bank account. For this reason it’s best to have a single collateral charge with at least two components – a fixedterm mortgage and an open line of credit – that can track and report interest independently. This is absolutely essential under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) rules. Once the money is in an investment bank account, it can be reinvested and becomes tax deductible. Essentially, you’re borrowing from the paid portion of the mortgage for reinvestment purposes. On average a typical 25year mortgage can become fully tax deductible in 22.5 years. This strategy must employ a conservative leverage-investment technique and a financial advisor should be involved to comply with federal regulations. The financial advisor should be a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) who is experienced in leveraged investing and able to actively monitor your portfolio.

Teddy bears collected Continued From Page A19 I attended a variety of cultural events including the opening of the Colours of Peru Art Exhibition at the Glendon Gallery at York University where I met the Consulate General of Peru in Toronto and the Ultimate Bridal Show in Mississauga where I hosted the Bridal Fashion Show along with Miss Ontario Canada, Melanie Williamson. I worked to support many Canadian organizations through different events. The Toronto Luxury Chocolate Show at the Roy Thomson Hall featured delicious treats while raising awareness for Gilda’s Club. Before indulging (in too many samples!) at the Chocolate Show, I took a tour of the Gilda’s Club located in Barrie, Ont., which is one of only two in Canada. Gilda’s Clubs are incredible support centres designed to assist those who are dealing with cancer. For Thanksgiving, I rolled up my sleeves to serve a hot lunch to those who needed it and took some time to play with the children while taking a tour of a 70-year-old, faithbased shelter, The Scott Mission, in downtown Toronto. Home in time for Thanksgiving dinner leftovers, I worked very busily to promote the Teddy Bears of Hope.

Film star Gerard Butler poses on the red carpet with Miss Canada International Anna Dell during the Toronto International Film Festival’s, TORO After Dark Artists for Peace and Justice fundraiser hosted by Butler. I encouraged youth to donate spare teddy bears to children in Haiti and Japan through dozens of classroom presentations and school assemblies. While spreading the word at the Thompson Rivers University campus in Williams Lake, the student council there included me in the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the student food bank and Teddy Bears of Hope drop-off location. Venturing into different parts of the Cariboo, I attended the fabulously co-ordinated Central Cariboo Chilcotin Tourism Association annual meeting and also spent a day with our hospitable neighbours in 100 Mile House, escorted by

my new friend, Mayor Mitch Campsall. Thank you to everyone, in my community and across the country, who has supported the Teddy Bears of Hope cause by sending special story-stuffed animals with the hopes of bringing smiles to children’s faces across the globe, Back to Ontario! While remembering those that have fought for our freedom in November at the 10th annual Veteran’s Appreciation luncheon in Oakville, Ont. Melanie Williamson, Miss Ontario Canada, and I joined dozens of volunteers to serve lunch to more than 1,000 veterans and their loved ones. Travelling ViaRail to the capital city, Ot-

tawa, Ont., I shared a moment of silence with the nation at the National Remembrance Day ceremony where I laid a wreath at the foot of the National War Monument. On a visit to the Canadian War Museum, I served dessert to veterans and volunteers and spent the afternoon with the children making Christmas cards to send to our troops overseas. I attended winter parades in my two neighbouring communities of my second home in Ontario: the Orillia Santa Claus Parade which, is the largest parade north of Toronto and the Barrie Christmas Parade, which began with a tour of the Barrie Firehall that brought us to a 1930s fire truck which I was thrilled to ride in for the parade. The mayor even invited me to help flick the switch as part of the downtown Christmas light-up. I enjoyed a lot of CFL action this past season, from acting as an honorary cheerleader for the Toronto Argonauts to assisting in the opening coin toss with the lieutenant governor of Ontario with the Hamilton Tigercats. Flying back across the country, I headed to the Grey Cup festivities in Vancouver, joined by former Miss Canada Internationals Bridget Nickerson, MCI 20010/2011; Catherine Thomas, MCI 2009; and Lorenza Sammerrilli, MCI 2003.

“They call the Cariboo home” Woodland family a Williams Lake gem Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Woodland Jewellers Ltd. is the oldest family-owned, and the second oldest, business in Williams Lake. It got its start when Edwin Gladstone (Tony) Woodland arrived from Edmonton in 1933 and opened a watch bench at Mackenzie’s Ltd. on what was Railway Avenue in those days. “His brother George was here and he got him to come out here,” recalls Cindy Watt, who, with her sister Brenda Bourdon, own the business today. George moved away and Tony stayed on to run his watch bench, located in a little corner in the store, where he did watch repairs. Eventually Tony moved to 83 Oliver St. where he and his son Ralph built a store. Located where H&R Block is now, it was called E.G. Woodland and Son Jewellers Ltd. Brenda started working in the store when she was 13 and remembers being terrified if a customer asked her for help. “Dad (Ralph) was the bookkeeper, the watch repairman, stock orderer, he did everything. I remember sometimes there wasn’t anyone there besides Dad and I,” she says. The sisters would clean counters, wash the floors in the morning, making sure the store looked nice, while their dad was in the back. When the sisters were young, the Famous Cafe on Oliver Street, behind Caribou Ski Source for Sports today, was where businessmen met informally to discuss politics and life over 25-cent-cups of coffee. “When our grandpa first started, he would leave the store, he wouldn’t lock things up, and he’d go for a coffee,” Cindy says. Customers would leave something like a broken watch with a

Tony’s wife Florie worked parttime in the store, and aside from work the couple was very involved in the community. Tony was instrumental in starting the community band, was in gymnastics, badminton and curling clubs, and was a member of both the Legion and the Elks. Florie belonged to the Royal Purple and Easter Star, and both were involved with the Anglican Church. “They were community-minded people,” Cindy says. In1973, Ralph had a new building constructed by longtime local contractor George Latin and the business has been in the Oliver Street location ever since. His wife June (Goode) also worked at the store. June had come to Williams Lake from Kelowna to live with her sister who was working here as a teacher. Ralph enlisted in the Army at the age of 17. He served five years in the Second World War before returning to Williams Lake with hopes of becoming an optometrist. “The army told him because

his father was a watchmaker, they would train him to be a watchmaker and that was it,” Cindy says. Being in the war for all those years meant he didn’t have any money saved to pay for an education, so he took up his father’s occupation. One time Cindy picked him up at the Vancouver airport after he’d returned from a gemology course. He didn’t come out of security for the longest time. When he did finally emerge, she learned the security personnel were so interested in the stones he was bringing with him that he ended up giving them a gemology lesson then and there. While Tony and Ralph were watchmakers, Ralph went into jewelry repair and was getting started with jewelry design. Ralph had opened up a jewelry repair shop in his home and then brought it to the new store in 1973. Since then the baton has been passed on to Brenda’s son Geoff Bourdon, who went to the Gemological Institute of America in California. “I can take jewelry from very start to finish, whether it’s hand made or wax bars, we can go right

from the start,” Geoff explains, adding he never worked with his grandfather in the store. “I liked building things when I was a child. I was a Lego fanatic and was going to be an architect until I found out how long I had to go to school,” he says. He did have to go to school for the jewelry trade, but it involved mostly hands-on learning, and some technical training. Geoff is also a city councillor, as were his grandfather Ralph and great grandfather Tony before him. “They were smart, they got out after one term,” he says with a raised eyebrow and chuckle. The drive to enter politics was partly the history and partly the fact that there weren’t any other young people on council. Ralph retired almost a decade before he passed away in 2008, followed by Florie in 2010. Cindy has been full-time at the store since 1979. After she graduated from university with a bachelor of physical education, and had worked for a bit, she agreed to come back to help her dad at the store. Brenda, other than doing the

off

year-end books, didn’t work at the store. She and her husband owned the Cariboo Wood Shop at McLeese Lake. Around 2000, the sisters became the owners of the business, but it wasn’t until 2005 that Brenda began to work full-time at the store. “She’s the chief financial officer and I’m the chief executive officer,” Cindy says with a chuckle, adding when you own a business you end up doing some of everything. Throughout the years, the business has tried its hardest to do everything local. “This is the community that has supported us for 79 years and we want to support the community,” Cindy says. When they aren’t working, the sisters enjoy playing badminton, kayaking, cross-country skiing, and Brenda admits to being a “Dodge Brothers” widow because her husband has rebuilt one of 1928 vintage. Cindy has served as a director on the Northern Winter Games, the Williams Lake Stampede Association, and Communities in Bloom but has slowed down more recently learning about the health side of the community because health issues have been on the home front. One of the things the family is proud of is the annual diamond ring raffle, with the full amount of money raised donated to the hospital, in partnership with the Hough Memorial Cancer Society and the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust. “This year we donated $12,000 and at this particular time they directed the funds to the digital mammography machine for the hospital,” Cindy says. Brenda says they feel a hospital is an important part of any community. Besides, their grandfather was on the hospital board for over 20 years.

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race

How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...

Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances?

and thriving in the current economy. They didn’t listen to the masses and lock themselves up in a dark basement, while waiting for things to “turn around”.

My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery.

No, they took action and realized that...

But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence. 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.

...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains. One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties. One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills. I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities. The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative. I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had.

“The difference for me though was a significant desire to be more and have more.” Darren Weeks

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.” All this growth has put me in the spotlight – I’m a contributor for Canadian Real Estate Magazine and made countless TV appearances on stations such as BNN, CTV and City TV. It’s been a heck of a ride. Now it’s time to teach you how I did it, and how you can do it too! My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding

It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did... Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation. So I sought out those who wanted greater wealth in their own life. Then I systematized what I had personally done to create wealth, and shared it with them for their own personal use. Those who had the drive to follow my system, ended up making millions. They became friends. They became peers. They became my inner circle mastermind partners. And they encouraged me to take my system bigger and share it with more people in Canada. So I did. I have spoken to thousands of people from every corner of our great country. I shared with them my formula for creating

wealth, starting from nothing, or starting with a solid base. My system worked for those who applied it. I travelled far too much and started to burn myself out. I stopped traveling and started leveraging. I built a team of 100 of the most passionate people in the country. They helped me get my message out to those who wanted out of the rat race. We pulled in our best students and success stories, and had them share their own examples on the road. The best part? My STAR student will pass on the knowledge to you. The formula that I taught continued to work for others who I had never personally taught. My system worked for anyone who understood it and applied it, whether or not I taught it to them directly or through my students. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? ...Most 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 we would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to commit to being there. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave. Which of these would you like to put a permanent end to? • Worrying about how you will EVER get ahead when the government continues to take what you make. • The fear that your children will not have solid opportunities to create wealth, as the present generations seem to be wasting it all away. • The jealousy you feel when someone else ends up doing exceptionally well financially, knowing FULL WELL you are as smart, or smarter, than they are. • Arguing with your spouse about money and the challenges that come with growing and protecting it. • Constantly fretting over the fine balance of saving, investing and playing with your money. • Dreaming about that long vacation you have always wanted and needed, yet knowing it may never happen at the rate you are going now. Give me 3 hours of your time and I’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life. 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. Each one of my wealthiest students and clients started off at a free event just like this. They heard about an event just like this put on by my company. They attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. Each of them is now financially independent and able to live life on their own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.WilliamsLakeGetRich.ca 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 I can show completely unknown individuals how to 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.ca and reserve your seat there. PS: Don’t be that person that has everything it takes to live free of financial worry, yet chooses to follow the path of financial devastation. There is a way for you to start creating the lifestyle you want, right here and now. 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 I am 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. Events at 12 noon and 7 pm. Call 1-877-RICH CDN (1-877-742-4236)

Marion passed away peacefully at CGH with her childhood friends by her side, Billy and Carol. Marion was born on December 26, 1932 in Chilliwack where she lived with her family until 1970 then moved to Williams Lake, returning to Chilliwack in 1996 for her retiring years. She is survived by her very best friend Norma of Terrace, children Stewart of Williams Lake, Bradley of Fort St. John, Virginia of Kelowna and Tanya of Chilliwack. She had five grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. She worked for the RCMP in WL for 20 years. She enjoyed gardening, gathering with friends and family and she especially enjoyed time with her grandchildren and reminiscing about all the times she spent with each individual grandchild. She was predeceased by her husband John in 1999. She was cremated and will be laid to rest with John on the Vedder River in late August. A celebration of life will be held at that time with family and friends. She will be greatly missed and is forever in our hearts.
