Council approves fish stocking plan McGuire Lake: Ministry, city to partner on monitoring, education program. By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

This summer, young anglers will once again have an opportunity to try their hand at landing a trout at McGuire Lake. City council has given its approval for the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations’ Fish and Wildlife branch to stock the lake with sterile rainbow trout for 2012, as part of a program to promote youth and family fishing. There are changes in store

for this year, however, after the program hit a snag last summer when it was reported that painted turtles were also being caught. Concerns were raised with the city that the bluelisted turtles were chasing baited lines and being hooked. City staff also met with the ministry and, for 2012, have agreed to make the following changes: a bait ban, allowing only single, barbless hooks, extending the dock to limit fishing in

shallow areas and updating signs to reflect the changes. In approving the fish stocking, council also agreed to amend the 2012 financial plan to re-allocate $3,200 from the McGuire Lake/Turner Creek project towards the fish stocking program. In particular, the funds will be used to help fund another change for the McGuire Lake fishing program. The ministry and the city will be partnering and cost sharing on a monitor-

ing program, which will begin this month. City engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen says that for three or four hours a day, over a 22-week period, a representative will be at the lake doing such things as interviews, fish counts, seeing how many people are actually fishing and making sure those who are fishing abide by the permit. Couns. Chad Eliason and Alan Harrison concurred that it’s the monitoring part

that is most important, providing objective data for the city while helping to educate anglers of all ages. Denise Reimer was the only councillor not supportive of restocking the lake. She said there are other options, such as fishing off the dock at Canoe. “I would like to see us wait until we get a definitive answer as to whether this is affecting the painted turtles and whether we See Citizen on page 3

SHUSWAP SLIPP restoration work upsets resident Shuswap Lake: Removal of concrete boat ramps and rock walls takes place at Annis Bay. By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Shuswap Lake foreshore restoration may be part of an award-winning project, but not everyone is handing out accolades. With a detailed waterquality monitoring program underway and close to $100,000 in funding from the province’s Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) has begun implementing a series of shoreline restoration projects. Hoping waterfront landowners will be willing to collaborate, SLIPP is funding restoration projects in critical fish habitat. Work began on Annis Bay last week, with the removal of large concrete boat ramps and a massive rock groyne. “SLIPP is paying for these restorations because we want to raise awareness about the importance of fish habitat,” says Sarah Evanetz, SLIPP program manager, who notes about a dozen people in the areas of most valuable fish habitat were offered this one-time voluntary opportunity. “We needed to get approvals in

advance and have been working closely with landowners.” But SLIPP officials are very clear that landowners who do not willingly engage in restoration projects will be subject to enforcement. That rankles Annis Bay resident Glen Pilling, one of the property owners who refused to participate in the one-time offer and have a cement ramp removed from the foreshore in front of his property. Pilling says officials told him last August that his ramp is in critical fish habitat, something he disputes because he says the lake level is always well below the ramp when trout spawn in the fall. As well, he says, a SLIPP map indicates that critical fish habitat ends about 50 metres east of his ramp. Pilling says the 60-acre parcel was purchased by his father and grandfather in about 1956 and the ramp has been there since about 1965. “We call it a swimming ramp, we use it for swimming because the beach is so rocky, and for launching boats,” he says, noting some 50 adults and children en-

joy the use of the ramp. There are seven residences on the property, with a total of 21 approved, and boat access is an important part of being able to market the property, says Pilling, who points out without the ramp, owners would have to drive to Sicamous to put their boats in the water. “We got a land-use contract with the regional district, which was finalized around 1987 and they knew all about the uses, including the ramp.” Marcin Pachcinski, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks and Recreation team leader, says a bylaw to regulate docks and buoys has been given third reading by the board and is in Victoria for consideration. “We did work with them to accommodate their landuse contract,” says Pachcinski, noting that in the past, the property was given a spot zone and that he held two or three meetings with the family. “We wanted to treat them fairly. In the lake zoning bylaw they have a site-specific density that will allow for one buoy per home on the property. It’s what they wanted.” Ray Nadeau, president of

# Concrete boat ramps in Annis Bay are removed as part of an initiative to restore fish habitat. The move isn’t floating with at least one property owner. the Shuswap Water Action Team (SWAT) and representative on two of the public advisory committees, says spawning is not the only issue. He says once the fry hatch, they migrate around the lake, and need areas in which to escape bigger predators. Input into foreshore restoration came from a crosssection of businesses, landowners, waterfront owners and elected representatives. “There’s been a lot done over the years and 60 per

cent of the habitat is no longer there for the fish,” he says. “It is unusual to have a program that actually tries to go back and repair things and correct damage that’s been done. The reason to do it was that it was always against regulations, but there was just a blind eye turned on it.” A plethora of man-made structures on foreshore Crown land was identified as a top-priority issue six years ago when a number of government officials, First Nations reps and oth-

ers toured the lake by houseboat. “Shuswap shorelines are critical to a sustainable environment, the water quality we depend on for our drinking water and recreation, the regional economy and important fish and wildlife habitats,” says Ted Bacigalupo, chair of the SLIPP steering committee and the board of directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. “We all share the responsibility for keeping our shorelines healthy.”

Citizen suggesting public education effort Continued from front should actually be going ahead with this project, so I will not support the motion,” she said. Harrison, however, said that none of the suggested alternatives

to McGuire Lake are as accessible for kids and families. “If they don’t have this possibility, they won’t be outside and they won’t be fishing,” said Harrison. After their meeting, council was approached by Todd Hooper, who

Denise Reimer

praised the decision to restock the lake and then asked if the public might be able to help on the monitoring/education component. “Monitoring is a really important thing to me and something I really wanted to see down there, so we can actu-

ally get the proof, get to the bottom of it,” said Hooper. “But there’s a number of groups in town that I think could be utilized, not necessarily in monitoring, but just getting down there to educate. The local tackle shop is one, and one of the

things that we’re proposing is that three, four, maybe five nights over the next three months we’d like to go down there and show kids how to fish, show them how to do it properly.” Hooper says proper knowledge is a key ele-

ment and a lot of what went wrong last year stemmed from a lack of education, parenting and supervision. Hooper was asked to speak with Niewenhuizen afterwards to see how he and others might be able to help.

Crimes: Cherryville man faces charges in connection with three separate incidents. By Kathy Michaels and Roger Knox BLACK PRESS

The man charged with the Halloween slaying of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest made his first court appearance Tuesday morning. Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, appeared calm during a brief showing in the Kelowna courtroom, despite the substantial series of charges being read to him. In addition to second-degree murder in connection with the Van Diest homicide, Foerster faces charges stemming from an alleged attack at a Kelowna escort agency April 12, 2005 and an alleged Cherryville home invasion Oct. 19, 2004. The former earned him charges of sexual assault with a weapon and unlawful confinement. The latter amounted to charges of break and enter, having face masked during a crime, assault causing bodily harm and unlawful confinement. Foerster’s currently being held in Kelowna cells, but will soon be transferred to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. From there he’ll return to court trial video link, for a May 10 court appearance. Foerster was ar-

rested in Collingwood, Ont., last week after an exhaustive investigation into the murder of the Armstrong teen, who was found Oct. 31, 2011 fatally wounded on railway tracks near her home by friends and family. The first break in the case police shared with the public came when DNA from that scene was linked to an earlier crime at the Kelowna escort agency, and a composite drawing of the suspect was re-

“We would like to hear from any other witnesses who may have information regarding that night.” RCMP Insp. Brendan Fitzpatrick leased. Foerster’s father, Stephen Roy Foerster, 58, of Cherryville, has been charged with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to murder in connection with Van Diest’s death. He was arrested in his residence last Wednesday and appeared in a Vernon courtroom April 11. News of the arrests hit the small community of Cherryville hard. “This is terrible what has happened,”

said Eugene Foisy, regional district director for Cherryville. “It’s shocking for our community, we’re just a small community, less than 1,000 people and everybody knows everybody. I’m sure it’s the same in Armstrong, and that just makes it hit all that harder. There’s good and bad in every community. My sympathy goes out to the Van Diest family and to the Armstrong community.” Police meanwhile continue to try and establish a timeline on the day and night of Van Diest’s murder, Oct. 31, 2011. “We would like to hear from anyone who has not already spoken to investigators that now may have information about any contact they had with him on Halloween night,” said Insp. Brendan Fitzpatrick, operations officer for the B.C. RCMP’s major crime section. “We would like to hear from any other witnesses who may have information regarding that night.” Police also want to establish a timeline of Foerster’s travels and activities from Dec. 2011 to the end of March 2012. Fitzpatrick asks that anybody that has information to share should call the dedicated tip line at 1-888-6884264.

MPs immune from sacrifice While Finance Minister Jim Flaherty may have delivered a fatal blow to the Canadian penny, his budget made it abundantly clear that the Conservative government doesn’t give two cents about sharing the sacrifice it’s asking working Canadians to make. The budget inflicted a knockout blow to the retirement hopes of many Canadians under the age of 54, raising the age at which Canadians can collect Old Age Security to 67 from 65, beginning in April 2023. While the Conservatives have hinted at the pending changes to OAS for several months, Thursday’s budget puts retirement at age 65 out of reach for most Canadians born after 1958. That is, unless you are a member of Parliament. While ordinary young Canadians must become accustomed to the notion of working until the grave, the Conservative government has preserved an MP pension plan fitting of the ruling elite. Flaherty hinted that “over time,” changes will be made to require MPs to make 50 per cent of the contributions to their pensions — something the vast majority of private-sector employees already do. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates that MPs currently contribute about $1 to their pensions for every $23.30 supplied by taxpayers, once all the perks federal politicians receive are worked into the equation. And while the federal budget made vague reference to further “adjustments” to MP pensions, there was no mention of raising the eligibility age, which currently sits at 55. So while Canadians are being asked to wait until age 67 before they see the roughly $510 a month in average OAS benefits, the estimated $5,600 in monthly pension benefits awaiting Flaherty are there for the taking. The government’s priorities have never been more clear. - Penticton Western News

OPINION

Not too late to try something new When most people think of someone whittling, they usually come up with a mental image of an old man sitting out on a rustic front porch somewhere with his trusty old pocket knife in hand, whistling to himself while cutting away on a piece of wood or a stick. And, while such an image may remind one of simpler, more peaceful times, the actual process of whittling is considered, by many, more of an art form than a simple craft. I remember trying to carve a wooden whistle when I was a kid in Boy Scouts. As I recall, I got booted out of the “scouting movement” before I was able to finish my project that would have earned me my wood-working badge. So be it. More recently, however, I found myself watching a group of whittlers at a craft show in Sorrento. Not only was I fascinated with the “art” they were able to produce from a small piece of wood, I was also impressed with the obvious amount satisfaction they derived from showing off their

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray objects d’art to everyone that came by. As explained to me, a fair amount of whittling is, indeed, done with a simple pocket knife. However, there are also any number of specialized whittling and carving knives and tools that are routinely used by more skilled whittlers, not to mention tools such as saws, chisels and awls. It was also pointed out that another tool, often overlooked in whittling, is the lead pencil. It is used before any cuts are made and enables a whittler to not only pre-consider various different ideas and approaches to their project, but can also help develop an overall picture of what the piece will look like when completed.

In talking with some of the other whittlers, it was also quickly pointed out that safety is of extreme importance when using sharp tools. Tools make no distinction between wood or flesh, one fellow said. (I could not help but feel that he had used that line on a fair number of people who had stopped to watch and chat.) “The first rule of safety, when it comes to whittling, is to keep your fingers, or any other body parts, away from the cutting edge of your tools,” he said. It was obvious, just from watching and listening, that all of the whittlers at the show take great pride of ownership when it comes to their tools. Whittling tools are personal. They need to be stored with sharp edges wrapped and protected. Even the salt in the sweat from your hands can cause steel to pit and rust. Sharpening is also important to the maintenance of tools and the safety of the person using them. The level of your sharpened

edge is very important. If it’s too sharp, the steel will become brittle and break off. If it’s too blunt, the tool will be too dull to work with. Apparently, experienced whittlers have learned to tuck their elbows into their sides to reduce the amount of movement of the blade. The safest way to whittle is to simply make sure to not point a knife at yourself. The type of material you use to whittle on will depend on your project. Soft wood, such as pine, can be carved more easily, but lacks the ability to hold detail. Hardwoods such as ash, oak or maple are very difficult to carve but hold finer detail. While I may not be much of a joiner of clubs or organizations, I could certainly see myself sitting out on the porch of the cabin up at the lake, whittling away on a piece of wood. Maybe I could even try to complete my wood working badge project. It’s probably too late, but then again, it’s never too late to start something new.

When the familiar becomes forgotten The past few weeks have delivered to us news regarding obsolescence. First came word venerable Encyclopedia Brittanica will no longer publish a print edition of the majestic multi-book marvel of myriad knowledge, ending a glorious 244year run that helped educate — and decorate the bookshelves of — the masses. From here on in, the encyclopedia will be an online version only. Then came word during last week’s federal budget that the ruling Conservatives will eliminate the lowly penny from the Canadian currency clan, the explanation being it does not make sense to spend 1.6 cents to create a coin worth one cent. Both announcements spurred thousands to spill their memories online, memories of how Encyclopedia Brittanica opened the world to them in a world without widespread Internet; memories of those little brown coins

being pure gold to a kid on his way to the corner store on a lazy summer day. Back in the day, the encyclopedia had few competitors in the home when it came to dispensing facts and figures. And, the little penny was powerful enough to buy something on its own, without the help of its flashier, silver cousins. However, in this age of mind-shattering progression and gnat-like attention spans, the light speed of the Internet in retrieving information has forced Brittanica publishers to choose the latter in the old “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” lament. The penny, mean-

while, has gone from having purchasing power to being relegated to filling charity cans and rounding out the ubiquitous tax at the till. At the rapid pace at which society races forward, it seems more and more of what we held near and dear is disappearing. But, are what we read and hear about disappearing into the vat of obsolescence really vanishing? Or, do the various articles and broadcast segments on this topic not have the pulse of what the average person uses? In 2009, the website businessinsider.com posted a slideshow online titled 21 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade, meaning in the 2000-2009 decade (the aughts?). The list included some items that are (or are near to being) obsolete, including PDAs (personal digital assistant) with stylus pens, such as the Palm Pilot; email accounts that charge for use; dial-up Internet; camera film;

and floppy disks. The list also included some items that, as far as I can tell, remain in widespread use, including landline phones; long-distance charges; fax machines; and phone books/dictionaries. It’s a world today of dizzying advancement that can leave one flailing about, trying to grasp what is current — but it’s hard. For example, compact discs remain, in my mind, technology that is new and shiny. But, that comes from one who remembers vividly when CDs emerged to elbow aside cassette tapes. I can also recall when dollar stores were, well, actual dollar stores. All of us, whether we are in our 30s, 40s or 50s, can sit back and recall with clarity those jolting moments when the familiar became the forgotten and the strange became standard.

CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP ME? We are often asked: “What’s the best way of ﬁnding out whether a Dr. of Chiropractic can help my problem?” ACCEPTING We believe the answer can be NEW found in a complete PATIENTS consultation and examination.

Lynda Hooper Hannah Baskill’s smile was as bright as her daffodil-coloured team jacket, as she arrived to the point of medal transfer at King’s Christian School. Teacher and special-needs champion Nora Kennett was the medal bearer in waiting for the third leg in the relay. After Hannah transferred the relay medal to Kennett, they exchanged a complex special handshake. I’m thinking they had this one rehearsed – looked like fun. Heroes are people in the neighbourhood who stand out in a crowd because they are doers who inspire us; they walk the talk toward a better world. I met a number of such individuals at the 25th Anniversary of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour on April 4, but there was one in particular who held my attention, Hannah, the youngest of the medal bearers. Hannah is eight years old and a resident at the Blind Bay Resort, where she lives with her parents and 14-year-old brother – the apple-of-her-eye.

# Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay participant Hannah Baskill transfers the relay medal to teacher Nora Kennett. Hannah suffers with a very rare presentation of pulmonary hypertension called idiopathic, or primary (PPH). She has surpassed the prognosed life expectancy given in April 2009, in spite of having 30 cardiac arrests that she should also not have survived. Last May, she had a pacemaker installed, and had a most critical three months recovering sufficiently to sit up and walk again. She started a new subcutaneous medication at the same time that, although uncomfortable, has contributed to a very good recovery.

According to her nurse Lona Heinzig, Hannah has a team of five nurses, who are on scheduled rotation, ensuring around the clock care. “Her progress has blown away any expectations of her doctors or any healthcare staff who know her,” she says. Dad Dan Baskill said Hannah is going to school, doing more than anyone thought possible. “Our whole family is grateful to be here, with Hannah sponsored by schoolmates at King’s Christian School, chosen to represent them in this relay,” he said. It was a once in a lifetime experience for 29 Shuswap area residents who served as medal bearers when

the anniversary relay reached Salmon Arm April 4. Hannah started her 250-metre portion of the relay at the Okanagan Avenue and 30th St. SE intersection. She walked down the hill with her oxygen in tow, Heinzig hurrying after. Hannah touched as many hands as she could on the way, all to the sound of a cheering crowd. As the relay headed north on 30th, the crowd along the sidewalk either followed along or dissipated from the corner. Hannah’s family was left – still quite a large group, including grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins big and small. Such large spirit in a tiny package, Hannah Baskill reminds us all that despite whatever

Brush fires burn out of control Over the Easter weekend, firefighters with the Shuswap Volunteer Fire Department received little rest, having to deal with three fires that got out of control. Fire Chief Wayne Morrison said firefighters put in 250 hours fighting grass fires over the long weekend. “Conditions don’t usually get this dry until about May,” he said. On Saturday, April 7, a brush fire got out

of control at an Elson Road property and the flames engulfed an old hay shed. Morrison says there was still snow on the ground nearby, but the ground fuel burned as though there was no moisture at all. A second April 7 blaze, this one on Fredrickson Road, destroyed a shed while the owners attempted to contain a brush burn, unsuccessfully. Another burn, at a farm on Notch Hill

Road, Monday April 9, took off into the bush, becoming a much larger cause for concern. “We’re getting very concerned about these dry conditions, with the potential fire hazard.”, said Morrison. Ken Mount, fire services co-ordinator for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, is reviewing the extraordinary fire activity with the BC Wildfire Management Branch, to determine what course of action to take next.

Cities protest surprise RCMP pay raises By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

B.C. cities say they’ve been blindsided by surprise RCMP pay raises that the federal government enabled just as it was signing a new policing contract that was supposed to usher in a new era of trust and cost control. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender has sent a letter on behalf of the Union of B.C. Municipalities to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews expressing “our complete shock and surprise” over the undisclosed pay lifts, which he warned will create “significant backlash” from councils and taxpayers. Fassbender, the UBCM rep in the recent contract talks, said cities don’t yet know how much more money – if any – they will have to carve out of their budgets to fund the higher RCMP payroll. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said she has been assured by Ottawa, administrative savings totalling $195 million will partly flow to cities and could entirely offset the pay raises, and possibly even lower their costs. But Bond is seeking more details. “I am deeply concerned about any potential impacts on our municipalities and that this information came as a surprise,” she said. Toews has said cities were advised months ago that raises on the order of 1.5 per cent were possible this year but neither the province nor cities were formally notified of the details of the compensation package. Fassbender said even if the pay hikes end up cost-neutral or better for cities, the lack of communication and consultation is deeply troubling, as is the timing. “You just can’t plan this way,” he said. The province signed a new 20-year RCMP contract on March 21

– ending its threat to terminate the Mounties and form a new provincial police force – after securing extensive promises of more say for cities on spending

decisions. Several cities have already ratified the new contract, including Surrey, Kelowna and the Township of Langley. Fassbender said cit-

ies that don’t sign by the deadline effectively give two years’ notice of withdrawal from the RCMP and commit to forming their own police forces or partner-

ing with existing municipal forces. “I’m still going to urge our council to sign the new contract,” Fassbender said. The new contract

creates a UBCM-led committee with 10 civic reps who are promised much more handson control of spending changes, instead of just an advisory role.

Cities that sign the RCMP deal can still opt out at any time on two years’ notice, and a review of the contract is promised every five years.

Shuswap link to Titanic tragedy By Deborah Chapman CONTRIBUTOR

Unaware, two Salmon Arm researchers shared a mission last week to raise awareness of the community’s connection to an event that took place a hundred years ago in the North Atlantic Ocean. The date was April 15, 1912. Two relatives of Salmon Arm residents Mr. and Mrs. R.H. Fortune, were lost when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. One researcher came looking for proof. The other was asking if anyone was going to leak the story. Both researchers were drawn by the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. Jean Jamieson, widow of history buff Rollie Jamieson, came into the archives for a visit. She told us about the home she lived in fifty-six years ago, its original owner, and the family affected by the tragedy. Jean lived in the special Arts and Crafts house constructed two and a half months after the Titanic sank. She described the house, located in the current Appleyard subdivision, as fit for a millionaire, “but had burned down some time ago, probably in the early sixties.” Don Booth, son of A.D. Booth and grandson of the first Bank of Hamilton manager John Cousins Booth, was also interested. He did his research online and called in his question. “Is anyone doing anything about the connection Salmon Arm has to the sinking of the Titanic?” He knew all about the Fortune misfortune. The family of R.H.

Family misfortune

but personal messages sent to friends in Winnipeg are to the effect that the mother and three sisters were taken off the doomed ship in the [tenth] boat.” Luckily for them, the Fortune women survived. The bodies of Mark and Charles Fortune were never recovered. For more information, visit the website: http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic_ passenger_list/.

ing of the Titanic. Photo is by Rex Lingford. The licence plate is dated 1914. Fortune was wealthy by Salmon Arm standards. The patriarch, Mark Fortune, was the son of a farmer, and a self-made man. Fortune was drawn to real estate speculation, spending several years in California before moving to Winnipeg. The official Titanic website says he had a bank account that matched his family name. Mark Fortune married Mary McDougald in Manitoba and the couple had six children: Robert, Clara, Ethel Flora, Alice Elizabeth, Mabel and Charles Alexander. Robert Fortune, the eldest son, made his way to Salmon Arm, marrying Olua (Alma) Bernadine Larson in Kamloops in 1906.The couple purchased Pat Owens’ place on Lakeshore Road in Salmon Arm. In December, Mr. W. Mason was contracted to build the foundation for a new home named Lake View. The white house with a stylish upper-floor dormers and veranda facing Shuswap Lake still

stands. Described by the late Herb Turner as an Eaton’s catalogue or “package” house, the structure was probably delivered unassembled by CP Rail. The Observer chronicles Salmon Arm events that kept Robert Fortune occupied. In 1910, he began shipping apples and won awards at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. He hired strawberry pickers and sold jam. Sports minded, he sponsored at least one turkey shoot near the CPR tracks. Like his father, Robert dabbled in local real estate. Just a week after he subdivided the Lake View property, he got terrible news. His family was on the Titanic and the dead were unconfirmed. Robert Fortune’s extended family was known to local residents; the father had visited the winter before the ill-fated holiday and younger brother Charles had been here playing cricket the year before. The story goes that, in 1912, all but two of the children went to Europe

on a family vacation. For whatever reason, Robert and Alma Fortune and Robert’s sister Clara didn’t take up the invitation. Returning to Canada, Mark Fortune booked first class cabins C-23-25-27. Each ticket cost £263. One hundred years later, we can only imagine the terror of the passengers when the Titanic hit the iceberg. The women of the family were ushered into lifeboat 10. According to the website, one of the Fortune daughters gave her purse to her brother, Charles, for safe keeping and asked him to “look after father.” The Salmon Arm Observer carried the news of the tragedy on the front page. Titanic Disaster Felt Here, read the headline April 25, 1912. “Their many friends in the district will sympathise with Mr. and Mrs. RH Fortune in their bereavement. Mr. Fortune losing his father and brother in the Titanic disaster. At first it was supposed that one sister had also perished,

Grass fires keep CSRD busy There were about a dozen grass fires reported over the April long weekend in various areas in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District with most of the activity happening Sunday and Monday. “There were three in Malakwa, two in Falkland, two in Silver Creek, one in Ranchero and three in the Shuswap,” says CSRD Fire Services Co-ordinator Kenn Mount. “This is unprecedented; this is the busiest weekend I’ve ever seen.” Although not all the fire reports are in, Mount says it looks like human error is to blame for most of the incidents. “People are leaving these fires unattended and are unaware of conditions; the grass is longer and the fire intensity is greater than anticipated. It takes very little wind to move these fires. A few of the fires spread and we

Snowmobilers rescued Sicamous RCMP were required to utilize resources of the Provincial Emergency Program twice Saturday in response to two reports involving snowmobilers. The first report came at 5:25 p.m. It involved a man who had broken his leg after his snowmobile went over a 30foot cliff on the Bjorn Glacier, north of Sicamous. PEP volunteers and RCMP arranged for a helicopter from Rev-

elstoke to airlift the man out and transport him to hospital in Vernon. The second report, received five minutes later, was of an Alberta man missing in the Owlhead sledding area, southeast of Sicamous. Police say the man had been snowmobiling with a group of friends, but became separated from them. His friends searched for three hours, but weren’t successful. PEP/Shuswap Search and Rescue was acti-

vated, and their search carried on through the night, but it too was unsuccessful. At 8:30 the next morning, the missing man provided his location to a friend by cellphone. He was later located by an RCMP helicopter out of Kamloops, and then by search teams on ground who took him to a nearby cabin. The man was uninjured, but tired from having walked all night in deep snow.

SPORTS Great year for diehards It could have been the middle of winter. Standing at the top of Panorama, looking down at a carpet of fresh snow surrounded by a snowy landscape, we could truly have been having a midwinter experience. Terrific skiing down Panorama and, subsequently, Baby Moonwalk, with snow conditions rivalling some of the best days we’ve had this ski season. But it wasn’t winter – it was early April! Without a doubt, this is a great year for diehards who want to keep skiing into the spring as long as possible. Jim and I count ourselves among those diehards. Tracksetting has ceased due to some mud issues near the tracksetter shed, plus the fact there are few skiers on the hill anymore. But with the soft conditions on top of the hard pack, tracks are not necessary. Out on the clearcut on the south loop, one can ski absolutely everywhere, as we did on Easter weekend. There

TRAIL TALES Marcia Beckner are 16 to 18 inches of snow in the stadium area so we have a while to go before we’re scuppered. Our personal record is May 17th, in the late 1990s, and we have a photo with the late Pentti Vakeva out on the trail holding the sign with the date to prove it. Pentti was always the first on the hill early season and a diehard like us at the season’s end. We’ll see if we break that record this spring. One of the highlights of our skiing this spring was to ski out to Tom Jordan Shelter with Tom’s granddaughter, Lucy Elliott, along with our granddaughter, Maggie. Well we remember Tom’s untimely death

in October 1998, and the subsequent building of this shelter in his memory by friends from the Larch Hills Nordic Society and Shuswap Outdoors. It had special meaning to visit the shelter with Lucy, who had never met her grandfather but had heard stories of his avid skiing the backcountry in the Larch Hills. Someday soon Lucy will have the pleasure of skiing the Great Circle, which was Tom’s favourite run, and know the joy of the backcountry which Tom loved. The Larch Hills chalet is now frequented by few skiers but for me has great memories of events, activities, and just plain hanging out. The walls bespeak of the BC Championships we hosted in February with posters and a photo display on the bulletin board. The place was packed for the annual auction aiding the food banks after the Santa Cruise in December, the first race of the season. There was the

fruit cake that went for a $100 donation to a happy bidder, and the huge oil painting in an ornate frame that went to another happy young bidder. And there were the folks with whom we just struck up conversations: the couple from Edmonton who were on a nordic centres tour in B.C. and told us Larch Hills is their favourite. Music to our ears! Then there was the couple from Washington who usually go on an alpine ski tour in Washington each year with their buddies but, with the conditions not great in their state, decided to head up to B.C. to do the nordic areas. They emailed photos of the Larch Hills back to their friends who decided not to come with them, and waxed enthusiastically about the wonderful trails the Washington gang was missing. Nice feedback. Spring skiing continues. No reports on the website but this diehard will let you know how it is if you get in touch.

Zulinik in group of seven NHL entry draft: SilverBack among seven BCHLers. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau released its final rankings Monday in advance of the 2012 Entry Draft. Seven BCHL players are included, one being from Salmon Arm. Among the top-210 North American skaters, forward Jujhar Khaira of the Prince George Spruce Kings had the highest rating at 74th, which is up six spots from his mid-term ranking. Merritt Centennials’ defenceman Reece Willcox rose 24 spots from the mid-term and is currently rated 90th, forward Morgan Zulinick of the Salmon Arm SilverBacks is rated 126th, Penticton Vees’ forward Wade Murphy is 142nd, while Coquitlam Express forward Alex Kerfoot is 165th. The biggest mover of the

BCHL bunch was Prince George forward Paul De Jersey. The 2012 Brett Hull Trophy winner and Interior Conference MVP went from 203rd in the midterm report to 98th in the latest list. Among the top-35 North American goalies, Powell River Kings’ Sean Maguire is rated 28th. Former Merritt Centennials’ and Westside Warriors’ netminder Cole Holowenko of the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders is rated 29th. Former Vernon minor hockey product Brady Brassart, of the Calgary Hitmen, is ranked 181st. Brassart bagged 25 goals and 59 points in his third WHL season. Everett Silvertips’ d-man Ryan Murray remains the highest-ranked WHL player among

North American skaters. Murray, a product of White City, Sask., moved up to second among North American skaters, behind only Nail Yakupov of the Sarnia Sting. The 18-year-old just completed his third season in the WHL with Mark Ferner’s Silvertips, netting nine goals and 31 points in 46 games. A steady, reliable two-way blueliner with poise, terrific hockey sense and excellent skating ability, Murray helped Canada win a bronze medal at the 2012 World Junior Championships. Centre Colton Sissons is the highest-ranked member of the WHL Kelowna Rockets, at 14th overall. The 6-foot, 187-pound North Vancouver product compiled 26 goals and 41 points in 53 games this season.

Classes will continue only for a few more months at Ashton Creek Elementary School. North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees voted Tuesday to close the school Aug. 1 because of decreased enrolment. Classes will end in June. The only trustee opposing the decision was Enderby area trustee Chris Coers (Armstrong trustee Bob Fowler was absent). The school has 33 students in two, four-grade split classrooms and district officials have stated that doesn’t provide a sustainable learning environment for students. However, the district received a 159-name petition demanding that the school be kept open. Parents have insisted that the small nature of the school provides one-on-one learning for their children, particularly for those with learning disabilities. They also state that the lack of a school will impact the Ashton Creek community and children will have longer bus rides into school in Enderby.

monologues during their presentation of the Vagina Monologues.

From a woman’s voice VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper Brock Endean, creative director for Sketch Theatre, is originally from Chase and now living in Vancouver for the past couple of years. He co-founded Sketch Theatre (a nonprofit organization) in 2006 as a way to increase drama and arts in the community. Sketch has performed a variety of shows over the past few years including a couple of original productions, with all proceeds from the shows going back into the community through sponsorship of events and donations to local organizations. March 31 at the Chase Community Hall was the second sold out year for The Vagina Monologues, raising $2,000 for the SAFE Society. And

what fun it was, a little naughty but nice. Though the Monologue parts were read, the performers managed to steal the hearts of the audience, as various scenes of female violence and abuse were revealed through them. The audience was emotionally involved, tears welling up as violent acts on women were described with poetic precision. The reading was well done, communicating through oratory characterization of very personal situations most women know but don’t usually discuss in public. Much was read from the script, but the ‘moaning’ was ad lib and as individual as the presenter. Open mindedness was definitely a criterion with language that mama wouldn’t normally approve, but laughing along with the girls as they shouted out forbidden words was actually quite liberating. All women from the Thompson/Shuswap, the readers were: Sherry Thiessen, Samantha Sampson, Susan Wa-

CELISTA FIRE SUPPRESSION COMMITTEE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Wells & Woodhead are coming to North Shuswap Elementary School. On Monday, April 16 at Carlin Elementary Middle School and Tuesday, April 17 at 9:55 a.m. at North Shuswap Elementary, Wells & Woodhead will take their audiences on a fun-filled ride. Woody Keppel (Woodhead, the ‘bumbling fool’) and Wells, (the Henrik Bothe from Denmark – the ‘dapper Dane’) are a character-driven new vaudeville show titled, Foolz, which recently made its world televi-

sion premier in Paris, France. The duo is known internationally as Wells & Woodhead, and have performed in more than 30 countries. They skillfully blend circus arts and comedy in a manner that engages and entertains people of all ages. Their circus skills are in the outer limits, but the rudiment of their art is their ability to play to a crowd. Expect mayhem that will ensure everyone leaves the gym with a big smile on their face. It’s impossible not to laugh at this completely wild duo.

All residents of the Celista Fire Suppression Area are encouraged to attend. This meeting will provide an opportunity to answer any questions you may have about fire department activities, its equipment and the cost of the function as it relates to your taxes. DATE: Monday, April 16, 2012 TIME: 7:00 PM LOCATION: FIRE HALL (5271 Line 17 Road) AGENDA: Minutes of the 2011 AGM Reports Election of Officers This is a volunteer function - it takes a community commitment to keep costs down and to ensure that the fire service is the best that it can be. PLEASE become involved and plan to attend!

Pam’s Cleaning Service ” hat “Mothert r o F In-Law Clean

CSRD makes clean-up easier By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Trash or treasure, it all depends on the eye of the beholder. Before you put what you don’t want in the garbage, consider its possible use to someone else. And, you might even make some money in the process. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s re-use website is a popular site where members can offer items for sale up to a value of $99, post items for free or request items they want for themselves. People can also post services. “If you’re having a yard sale or cleaning out your garage and want people to know, or if you want to know if other people are having a yard sale, you can post it for free,” says

Carmen Fennell, CSRD waste reduction facilitator. Organizations such as churches and other non-profit groups are also welcome to post their garage or rummage sales, ski swaps, sports swaps, etc. for free. The site at www. csrd.reuses.com has been up and running for three years and is considered to be a success, says Fennell. “We had almost 10,000 visits in 2011 with 400 items or events listed on the site,” Fennell says. “We’re still getting new listings for goods every month and new members. And, so far this year we have had 2,000 site visits.” Shuswap residents can also dispose of organic waste for free at all CSRD landfills and transfer stations now

until May 13 during regular hours of operation. Visit www.csrd. bc.ca to find the operating hours of each facility. Residents can take organic yard and garden material and, new this year, the regional district will accept metal free of charge for the same six-week period as organic garden waste. This includes bed springs, barbecues, fridges, freezers, old swing sets, metal toys or tools, bikes, lawn chairs, old bathtubs, any kind of piping and other metal items. Keep in mind, though, that yard and garden waste does not include fences or railway ties, and wood material should be no larger than eight inches in diameter. Sicamous residents will be able to get rid of

other unwanted material Saturday, April 28 at the rec centre parking lot. Acceptable items for disposal include paints, pesticides, old gasoline, residential fluorescent tubes and bulbs, electronic waste such as computers, and small appliances such as toasters, microwaves. Tires will be accepted as well. Residents of both Sicamous and Salmon Arm will have an opportunity to dispose of more hazardous products at Bill’s Bottle Depot Saturday, May 12. “Bring anything and everything that’s toxic, corrosive, poisonous, flammable – whether it has a label on it or not, we will take it,” Fennell says. “We will also be accepting tires – passenger, light, medium, on or off rims.” For more informa-

Salty Dog Enduro competitors, The Taste of Downtown Street Fair on May 12 will feature music, bicycle exhibits, and lots of activities for the kids. The Downtown Twilight Family Fun Ride is a celebration of all things bike on May 25 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Where’s the worst road? Last year, Ospika Boulevard South in Prince George was voted the province’s worst road in the first B.C. Automobile Association Worst Roads Campaign. Since then, that road has been repaved and BCAA has the second annual Worst Roads Campaign underway. If you travel on what you think is the worst road in B.C., BCAA wants to hear about it. Until April 23, drivers are invited to vote for the road in their community or on their commute they feel is most in need of repair or redesign. Through the campaign, BCAA aims to help voice concerns about congestion, potholes, road signs, traffic lights or pedestrian and cycling safety. The survey is open to BCAA members and other B.C. residents. “Worst roads” can be nominated online at bcaa.com/worstroads. “As a motorist, cyclist or pedestrian, roads that are deteriorating, inadequately maintained or poorly designed affect your pocketbook, stress level and personal safety,” said Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice-president of road assist. “By voting, you can draw some attention to rough, unsafe or inefficient roads in your community.” After voting closes, BCAA will share detailed results with municipalities and the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to ensure they are aware of road users’ concerns, and to find out how they are planning to improve B.C.’s problem roads and highways. Throughout the campaign, drivers can check the website bcaa.com/worstroads to see where their road ranks and which roads are close to taking the title of B.C.’s Worst Road in 2012. Once final results are tallied, a list of the Top 20 “worst roads” in B.C. will be published. “We recognize a great deal of road work is being done throughout the province,” Cousin said. “The intent of this campaign is not to criticize the state of B.C.’s roads generally, but to help British Columbians bring attention to those roads that may have been overlooked, and to help municipalities and the province in their plans for future road improvements.” The BCAA survey defines a “worst road” as any piece of paved infrastructure – including a bridge or tunnel – that exhibits the following characteristics: • damaging potholes; • needs resurfacing; • is unsafe and contributes to frequent accidents; • is often heavily congested; • has inadequate road markings or signs; • is poorly designed for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists to share safely. In 2011, Falkland’s Westside Road finished eighth on the provincial list of “worst roads,” the highest rank of a road nearest Salmon Arm.

Experimenting with democracy

Gwynne Dyer Aung San Suu Kyi once remarked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is never easy to persuade those who have acquired power forcibly of the wisdom of peaceful change.â&#x20AC;? The leader of Burmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main pro-democracy party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), never wavered in her belief it was possible. Now, it may actually be happening. In last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s byelections in Burma, the NLD won at least 40 of the 45 seats at stake. Burma is still far from being a genuine democracy, but the outcome was so encouraging that NLD official Myo Win said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The army has changed and is now more lenient. So, there is more of a possibility that Aung San Suu Kyi can become president in 2015.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lady,â&#x20AC;? as most people call her, is finally free after 22 years of political repression, most of them spent under house arrest. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe she may be peacefully elected president of Burma in three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

ing soldiers one-quarter of the seats in the new parliament and, in the elections of 2010, the regimesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; puppet political party won a huge majority of the seats. It was probably the spectacle of the Arab Spring, with non-violent revolutions overthrowing decades-old Arab regimes that were just as cruel and corrupt as Burmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, that persuaded the army it had to go further. Last August, Sein met Suu Kyi for the first time. What promises he made remain secret, but it was enough to persuade The Lady to rejoin the political process. From the armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view, the recent byelections, held to replace 45 regime supporters who gave up their seats upon being appointed to posts in the new government, seemed an ideal way to start the opening-up process. Even if the NLD did well in them, it would not shake the regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overwhelming majority in parliament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the next national elections are not due until 2015. But, the NLD may have done too well. The partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly clean sweep in these byelections will remind many generals of the 1990 election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that is not a happy thought for them. Having drowned

Get to the top

a non-violent protest movement in blood in 1988, the army held a general election in 1990 to legitimize its rule, confident it could guarantee the right outcome. It was wrong: The NLD won 80 per cent of the seats. It was a political disaster for the military, which only preserved its rule by ignoring the election results and jailing the opposition leaders. That gave it another two decades in power, but its rule was clearly illegitimate and the regime became an international pariah. Now, we have another election outcome in which the NLD wins over 80 per cent of the seats. It will have occurred to the soldiers and Suu Kyi that if the NLD had not boycotted the elections in November, 2010, it would have won them despite all the regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to manipulate the results. It virtually guarantees the NLD will become the government in 2015, if those elections are ever held. The Burmese armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice is now stark: It must either accept that outcome or halt the whole democratization process. Sein seems committed to the process come what may, but some senior generals will prefer the latter option,

particularly because an NLD government might investigate how they got so rich. It would be a good idea for the NLD to promise an amnesty for all crimes committed by the military regime. The coming year will be a tricky one and it could end in disaster if Suu Kyi overplays her hand. However, the past 22 years have taught her patience and she clearly understands Sein needs her help in staving off the pressure from the more hawkish generals. The rest of the world can also help him by ending sanctions and allowing investment to flow into the crippled economy. And, with luck, Burma will be a democracy three years from now.

GLOBAL VIEWS

time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it was also hard to believe Nelson Mandela would be elected president of South Africa only four years after he was freed from 27 years in prison in 1990. Not only is Suu Kyi free, but she is now a member of parliament. She boycotted last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general election, the first since 1990, because she distrusted the regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentions, but she has now joined the political game. She had to because, otherwise, the game would probably have ended quite soon. The army has monopolized power in Burma for the past 50 years, ruthlessly suppressing all dissent and leaving the country the poorest in Southeast Asia. Now, a former general, Thein Sein, has persuaded his colleagues it is time for the army to let go, but many of them are just waiting for him to fail. He has been president for a year now and he badly needed a success. Whether the outcome of these byelections is the kind of success he needed remains to be seen. The armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original idea, after all, was to open up politics just enough to end foreign economic sanctions and deflate domestic pressure for change. The new constitution of 2008 gave serv-

ANN CASTLE July 1, 1938 - March 31, 2012 The family of Ann Christina Castle (nee Gouthro) sadly announces that she passed away March 31 2012 in Salmon Arm at the age of 73. Ann is well remembered for her strong independent nature, and her love of opera and music in general. She was predeceased by her mother Ann, and by her beloved and loving husband Fred. Ann is survived by her four children, Stephen, Catharine, David and Richard and their families as well as her sister Leona and her family. The four children wish to express their immense gratitude to all of Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends and neighbours locally who have for many years helped her with her battle for independence against the odds. A service will be planned in the future, as schedules are arranged. Please check Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at Fischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Services website for updates.

TULARI (LAURA) MADELAINE AT 94 Mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey ended on April 9, 2012 at Salmon Arm. Mum was born on April 11, 1917 in Salmon Arm and grew up in Blind Bay. She married John Tulari on December 27, 1938 and they lived in Vancouver and Zeballos. In the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, they settled in Blind Bay to raise their 2 children. They sold 90 acres to what is now part of Shuswap Lake Estates and later moved to Sorrento in 1989. After Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey ended in 1993, Mum stayed in Sorrento, then moved to Vernon in 2003 and then in 2009 to Piccadilly Terrace in Salmon Arm and her ďŹ nal move in 2010 was The Good Samaritan-Hillside Village. Mum loved to cook and had so many yummy meals for her family and friends. Mum took up painting beautiful landscapes and enjoyed her time with her artsy friends and sisters. Mum played a good game of scrabble, crib and other card games and liked keeping score â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure if this was the reason that she won so many times or not. Her happiest time, since Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, was at Piccadilly Terrace where she met up with old friends and created new friendships.

Tom & Teresa Rankin own the local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? offers full service junk removal. From furniture to appliances, renovation debris to yard waste, rental clean-outs to pre and post moves, they will take anything that two people can move. When customers consider the costs of owning a pick up and/ or trailer that only receives very occasional use, versus hiring someone to haul their junk, the savings become very apparent. In addition customers really like how hard 1-800-GOT-JUNK? works to divert items from the landﬁll and supports local organizations. They recycle and donate about half of the items that they pick up to support local churches, charity stores, schools, sports groups and other social organizations. 1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s crews are covered by WCB and commercial liability insurance, as well as doing criminal and drivers abstract checks. To have your junk hauled away, call 1-800-468-5865 today!

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? 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. 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 12 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.

No, they took action and realized that... ...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. 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.

“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 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”.

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? t 8PSSZJOH BCPVU IPX ZPV XJMM &7&3 HFU ahead when the government continues to take what you make. t ćF GFBS UIBU ZPVS DIJMESFO XJMM OPU IBWF TPMJE opportunities to create wealth, as the present generations seem to be wasting it all away. t ćF KFBMPVTZ ZPV GFFM XIFO TPNFPOF FMTF ends up doing exceptionally well financially, knowing FULL WELL you are as smart, or smarter, than they are. t "SHVJOH XJUI ZPVS TQPVTF BCPVU NPOFZ BOE the challenges that come with growing and protecting it. t $POTUBOUMZ GSFUUJOH PWFS UIF ĕOF CBMBODF of saving, investing and playing with your money. t %SFBNJOH BCPVU UIBU MPOH WBDBUJPO ZPV IBWF 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.BCFastTrack.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.BCFastTrack.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.
