Teacher mediator will have tough task Tom Fletcher Black Press Education Minister George Abbott says he won’t appoint a mediator in the long-running B.C. Teachers’ Federation dispute until after he returns from an education trade mission to China on March 26.

Abbott said Wednesday his Asian trip was planned long before his ministry developed Bill 22, the legislation designed to force an end to months of teacher work-to-rule

action that culminated in a threeday strike last week.

Once Bill 22 is passed in the legislature Thursday, Abbott said he will send letters to the heads of the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association inviting them to take part in mediation, before he leaves for China on Saturday.

The legislation requires the BCTF and BCPSEA to bargain “in good faith” with the yet-tobe-named mediator in an effort to reach agreement without adding

new costs to the overall B.C. education budget.

Abbott acknowledged that there is no practical way to compel the BCTF to negotiate if they refuse.

BCTF president Susan Lambert has repeatedly rejected the idea of a ministry-appointed mediator as well as the government’s “net zero” financial restriction.

Abbott said because of the long history of disagreement, court challenges over restrictions on class size and special needs support and other unique complications, he will

be seeking a mediator with significant education experience.

In earlier interviews, Abbott has mused that a mediator who can “walk on water” would be preferable, and suggested that the skills used by Mahatma Gandhi to unite the disparate religions of India and achieve its independence would be useful in the teacher dispute.

If no settlement is reached by the end of June, a new contract would be imposed that extends from last spring to June 2013, after the next provincial election.

Twan ties for first at Kamloops Cowboy Festival

Alkali Lake’s Liz Twan (left) tied for first place with Kim Taylor of Nanton, Alta (middle) at the Kamloops Cowboy Festival last weekend for her photo of a Gang Ranch cowboy getting bucked off a colt he was breaking to ride. On the right is art show chairwomen Jane Kerner of Pritchard, presenting the awards. Twan is holding the second place ribbon because she won first place in 2011 and 2010 and Taylor was the runner up both of those years, so they handed Taylor the blue ribbon. Taylor is a widely known western photographer — some of her photos decorate homes and offices on the set of Heartland.

Pinnacle Pellet wins safety award Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Pinnacle Pellet plant in Williams Lake was recognized this week with the company’s first-ever safety award, acknowledging the plant’s zero medical incident rate for 2011, its highest scored card on monthly audits, as well as the staff’s proactive approach to safety.

“A recordable medical incident would be anything that you would record to restrict what someone’s able to do within their job,” says Leroy Reitsma, Pinnacle’s president and chief operating officer.

“In Williams Lake last year they had a flawless record,” Reitsma says, adding that measuring the level of pro-activity seen within the plant, not just in management, but in the employees of pursuing excellence, is also key.

Internal audits take place monthly to ensure safety is intact, and then an outside body — the Forest Safety Council

— does an audit once a year.

It was a combination of those two scores that was used to determine which plant should receive the award.

“What we’re trying to recognize here in Williams Lake is not only the achievement last year, but the degree to which the culture of this facility has transformed over the last year to one of real pride in what they do. The housekeeping and overall appearance of the plant has been a focus of the workforce here and they’ve done a great job,” Reitsma explains.

Pinnacle is now 24 years old and over the last five years has made some big advancements in safety.

The award, Reitsma says, is one more way to continually reinforce and create attention in respect to safety.

A key thing, he suggests, is that people are at a level of awareness of what could be the potential of risks and they are being mindful of how to ensure that risks are miti-

“When you’re trying to create a culture that does that, the more things that we do as employees of this company to try and encourage each other to always stay at a high level of awareness, the more success we’re going to have in ensuring the safety of everyone.”

achievements in Williams Lake have not been because they’ve been mandated, but due to a grass-roots effort to pay attention to detail.

Corporate safety and environmental officer Lorne Davies was hired a month and half after there was a fatality at the plant in Williams Lake in 2008. The two had

worked at CANFOR previously and put their heads together to look at ways to increase safety measures within the organization.

Davies is responsible for all of the company’s six plants and is travelling back and forth visiting them regularly.

AN APPLE A DAY...

Did you know that 40% of the time we don’t get the colds we are exposed to? We do have a bit of immunity to these viruses. When we do get a cold, it tunes up our immune system and makes it stronger to fend off a future cold.

This is the time of year we focus on poison awareness in the home. With our aging population, more people are taking five or more medications. This is one of the reasons why the incidence of child poisoning is going up. Store your medications in a place where curious children can’t reach them.

Evidently, we Canadians don’t eat enough fibre. Because adequate fibre has positive effects on heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer, it’s important to get enough.

Men aged 19-50 need 38 grams per day. Older men need at least 30 grams. Women aged 19-50 need at least 25 grams per day while older women need at least 21 grams.

Read those food labels to see how much you are getting.

We make from 750ml to 1500ml of saliva each day. You really wonder how we can ever have a dry mouth. Dry mouth can be caused by some medications. In fact, dry mouth (medically called “xerostomia”) is one of the more common side effects of medications. If this is a problem for you, check with our pharmacists. We may be able to help alleviate the situation for you.

All drugs have side effects but the user does not experience most of them. If it’s important to your quality of life, we’ll tell you about it. It’s one of our roles as your professional pharmacist.

where people have to do this,” says Davies, adding it really is a game of inches.

“You can’t just wave a wand and everything changes today or tomorrow. Over a point of couple of years you make changes.”

Safety in the workplace is multifaceted and Reitsma suggests while

it’s easy to say safety is number one, it’s the level of awareness and people understanding it’s not OK to take risks. Measurements are laid out, but they have to be followed through.

From what he’s seen across the board, he feels there’s a level of accountability among the employees wanting everyone to be safe.

“We back that up by doing the audits. If someone’s choosing not to follow the company plan then they know right away that’s not acceptable,” Davies says.

Pinnacle has also been steadily growing. In 2004, the company produced 60,000 tonnes of pellets.

In 2012, the company will produce 1.25 million tonnes, making it 20 times the size it was when it first started.

“You look at the number of employees we have, the level of professionalism that goes into running an organization like this, and we realized we needed to improve safety measures,” Reitsma says.

QUILTING & CRAFTS GALORE A log sorter on the Fraser River: coastal logs are commanding a high price in Asia.

Asian log buyers outbidding B.C. mills Tom Fletcher Black Press Forests Minister Steve Thomson plans to visit a Surrey-based forest company next week to discuss a shift in log export policy that producers say is diverting more B.C. logs to Asian buyers willing to pay up to twice as much as B.C. mills are offering.

Thomson was peppered with questions in the legislature for a second day Wednesday about his ministry overruling its Timber Export Advisory Committee (TEAC) and allowing log exports despite an offer from Teal Jones Group to buy the logs for its B.C. mills.

Teal Jones chief financial officer Hanif Karmally said Wednesday the company is ramping down production and

shifts due to a lack of log supply. It could put another 100 to 115 people to work if it had more logs, particularly to feed its small log mill.

Teal Jones’ Surrey operation is the largest lumber producer on the B.C. coast, with a large log mill and shake mill in addition to the small log mill it opened in 2003 after a $30 million investment.

Total coastal log exports increased to a record 5.87 million cubic meters in 2011, up from 3.86 million in 2010, according to forest ministry figures. That includes logs exported from private land, which are regulated by Ottawa.

About 20 per cent of logs from Crown land in coastal B.C. are going to export.

Thomson told report-

ers the TEAC changed its policy on how it declares logs as surplus to domestic needs, and how it calculates the domestic market value.

Cowichan Valley NDP MLA Bill Routley told the legislature that Nanaimo-based Coastland Wood Industries as well as Teal Jones is seeing a log shortage.

“I’ve been told by mill managers that more B.C. mills will be gone if this level of raw log exports continues,” Routley said.

Truck Loggers’ Association executive director Dave Lewis says B.C. has restricted coastal log exports for decades, but it has not solved the industry’s basic problems.

“Domestic buyers can only afford to pay $60 for a log that costs $78

to harvest,” Lewis said.

The TLA organized a forum on log exports to counter criticism of log exports.

“To put things very bluntly from a Terrace area perspective, if log exports were banned today, we might as well close the doors and throw away the keys,”

said Bill Sauer of the North West Loggers Association.

Teal Jones co-owner Dick Jones said his company is not averse to log exports provided the rules are followed, and TEAC decides if logs are offered at fair market value and declared surplus.

These articles, written by a variety of Christian pastors,are designed to speak to different groups in our community, Christians and non-Christians. This particular article is written to active Christians, those attending church regularly, leaders in their congregation and anyone claiming to be a friend of God. Others are welcome to read and hopefully learn, grow and be blessed.

I grew up in a small nearly all white town in Eastern Canada where the only racial differences that I experienced until my college days were some negative exchanges between French and English speakers. My eyes were fully opened to the evil of racism in my third year of university while attending a school outside Boston.

This was the early 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the turmoil between American blacks and whites was raging and having a major negative impact on that small Christian university.

I remember few things from my college classes but I remember the day a visiting evangelist spoke in our chapel. He was spending a day on our campus where racial issues were causing division and pain that up until then I could not comprehend.

That year I had to come to grips with my own racism that I did not even know I had.

The speaker, a Christian minister of some distinction, preached the gospel as clear as I have ever heard it

PARSONS PEN

BY CAMERON JOHNSTON presented. In the middle of his short talk a message came through loud and clear that I still can hear clearly to this day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ground,â&#x20AC;? he declared with the full authority of Christ,â&#x20AC;&#x153;is level at the foot of the cross. There is no black or white at the foot of the cross. There is no rich or poor, no male or female, all are equally respected and eternally loved by the Creator God of this planet.â&#x20AC;? We might add that in Christ there is no native or non-native, no Jew or non-Jew, no Moslem or nonMoslem, et cetera.

Unfortunately, prejudice and racism are still alive and well today, even in Christian circles. Yes, even here in Williams Lake. I was shocked recently by the level of racism existing in our little very multicultural city. I was

enlightened by a regular reader of Parsons Pen who was unfortunately hurt by my ignorance of some of the realities that some people live with daily in the Cariboo.

First of all, I want to apologize to this individual and anyone else who may have been unnecessarily harmed by a few of my comments which to me were not even remotely considered to be racism but could be construed as such by some.

Secondly, I want to be very clear that from the Christian perspective, regardless of your church affiliation or lack thereof, there is no place for Christians to practice or even entertain a shred of racism in thought or behavior. God created a multiracial, multi-cultural planet and His amazing grace and love extends to all unconditionally.

The cruel reality is that prejudice and racism will be alive and well on our planet until the kingdom of God is fully realized. Every Christian, however, has the duty to stand up against it by thought and action. Jesus was very clear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love one another as I have loved you.â&#x20AC;? He also said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love your enemies.â&#x20AC;?

Tolerance, acceptance and love for those different from us or maybe even irritating to us, is not natural to the human heart. They come as a supernatural gift as we allow Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit into our lives.

Carole Rooney Free Press Many people in the Cariboo have been farming or ranching for decades on the same land as their ancestors, and others have migrated here to learn how to live on the land and grow food.

The knowledge they retain is valuable, and in danger of being lost, says Agriculture Webbased Enterprise Tool (AWBET) researcher Demian Pettman.

Gathering and preserving this information is Pettman’s current mandate, as she compiles data for an AWBET project, which is funded by Community Futures.

Key agriculture data relevant to farmers and ranchers in the Cariboo-Chilcotin is disappearing more and more every year, she says.

“The statistic for the average age of an agriculture producer is 52. This means many people are retiring, and where will all the knowledge go?”

It is imperative to the region’s agriculture future to retain this information, Pettman adds, especially as local food security becomes more of a concern.

“A lot of studies have occurred in our region over the years, and it is likely that someone, somewhere has knowledge about them, or has copies in their files.

“Many of these studies are governmentfunded, and a large number of them are in danger of being lost in the jungle of information.”

Someone could spend a great deal of time searching through the Internet, she notes, and only a small segment of

Demian Pettman that information would be useful to local producers in this region’s climate and geography.

“Basically, I am looking for current and past information that might help to increase efficiency and marketability of local and potential agricultural products.”

She will compile any relevant reports, published magazine/media articles, videos, even journals or hand-written accounts of what

methods, species and practices worked or didn’t work, and then archive them where locals can access them.

Where possible these will be digitized for online resources, but others may be stored at the Agri-Culture Enterprise Development Centre (Ag-centre) in 100 Mile House, she notes.

“There are also lots of new innovations happening in universities, and on farms, as people get creative with ways to improve their product. By providing a library of relevant resources, it is easier to find out about these discoveries, and apply them locally.”

Folks are asked to contact her as soon as possible (and before April 15) if they have any documents available for the AWBET research project, or know

Cold climate on Planet BCTF

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

T

he stories began tumbling out as soon as last week’s column on teacher union indoctrination of students was posted on our websites.

Most parents, retired teachers and administrators requested anonymity, because their kids and grandkids still have to go to school, or they have relatives or fair-weather friends in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation who mustn’t be enraged by any contradiction of their dogma.

There was the Grade 3 art class in Langley where students were assigned to create anti-Bill 22 protest signs.

There was the Grade 6 teacher in Greater Victoria who started a one-hour drill on BCTF talking points by telling students not to believe anything they see in the media. There was the middle school in the Gulf Islands that dismissed students early to force them all out in a show of solidarity against the latest of many legislated settlements.

And there were the BCTFBCGEU pickets that blocked entrances to government offices here in Victoria, harassing, threatening and physically blocking office workers in an effort to force them to join the thousands bused in for the traditional howling show of strength for Big State Labour bosses on the legislature lawn.

In my 20 years of criticizing the policies and tactics of teacher union radicals, I have had my office windows smashed twice. I have seen a mob of self-absorbed strikers push a senior off the sidewalk into the snow. My daughter has been subjected to hard-left environmental propaganda in elementary school. I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

But hey, let’s be constructive here. First, I should emphasize I understand that these incidents do not represent the vast majority of dedicated teachers, who wouldn’t think of intentionally abusing their position for personal or political gain. I mean that sincerely.

And thanks to all the teachers who sent me lecturing letters, particularly those who insist that they don’t really want another 16-per-cent raise, because their first priority is improving classroom resources.

Volume doesn’t permit individual responses to everyone.

Authors who begin along the lines of “Sir, you are an idiot” receive lower priority. If I don’t get back to you, please

convey your willingness to accept a brief wage freeze to your union executive.

They’ve scaled back some of their more egregious prep time and paid leave demands, but apparently your admirably altruistic message has not yet been absorbed.

And yes, I’m aware that the Harvard study of class size and performance I mentioned last week examined charter schools in the United States.

I understand that “charter

school” is considered coarse language in B.C. As with health care, there must be no serious competitive dynamic or other dangerous experimentation permitted within the unionized state monopoly model.

And thanks for suggesting I’m an agent of the B.C. Liberals, who invented poverty 11 years ago.

East Van MLA Jenny Kwan touched on it in the debate on Bill 22. Children coming to

inner city schools hungry, inadequately clothed, with lice.

Abused children.

I can assure Kwan that these tragic realities are not confined to the hellish B.C. Liberal era of spending increases.

Indeed, I witnessed all these things in my three-room school in Tomslake, B.C. in the 1960s. Social Credit was to blame then. I remember the school more for its great teachers than its undrinkable

water or alcoholic principal.

And to all those who provide spelling-challenged advice on journalistic objectivity, here’s the thing. The first rule of opinion writing is to have one. I’m not looking for middle ground in the cold vacuum between Earth and Planet BCTF. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

Film club brings look at ancient cave art Krista Liebe 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 — 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 Ardèche Region in Southern France a museum has been constructed at Vallon Pont d’Arc that provides visitors with an experience of the prehistoric environment, flora and

Filmmaker Werner Herzog (right) was given special permission and needed to take extraordinary precautions to make the film about the most recent prehistoric cave paintings found in France.

Photo submitted 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 For-

gotten 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 — 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.

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 cave for a short time.

Herzog is clearly fascinated by the cave, and if you know Herzog, you know that his interest is also philosophical and not only scientific. Which 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!

Collectors roadshow in Williams Lake

International women’s day celebrated

The Canadian Collectors Roadshow is in Williams Lake this week to help people determine the value of gold and silver jewelry, antiques and collectibles they may have had laying around for years and want to sell.

Organization president Eric Dvorkin says it can be incredibly exciting to find out what your old coins and jewelry are worth — not to mention surprising.

“People inherit stuff or have been sitting on pieces for the past 20 or 30 years while it’s been collecting value,” he says, “and they have no idea what they actually have.”

Gold, silver, jewelry and precious metals are some of the most popular items the appraisers see and can be worth a remarkable amount of money.

The value of gold and silver pieces presented is based on the market price of where gold and silver are at on a daily basis but for some, explains Dvorkin.

Dvorkin says three appraisers will be on site at the Canadian Collectors

Roadshow which will be at the Williams Inn conference room March 15 to 19 from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day.

For antiques and collectibles he says they pay 65 to 70 per cent of the market value on lower end antiques and coins, more for very old, rare items that are in the best condition.

He says they have a huge database of private collectors through which the lower end items are re-sold. Higher end items they purchase may be resold through Maynard’s Auctions in Vancouver and the “really, really” high-end items will be re-sold at Christies or Sotheby’s auction houses in New York.

Kelli Trottier and Greg Simm in concert Tuesday Public Bowling The Williams Lake Old Time Fiddlers will host Kelli Trottier and Greg Simm in concert at the Seniors’ Activity Centre this Tuesday, March 20.

The concert start time is 7 p.m.

“This is an opportunity not to be missed,” says Hal Giles, who plays with the Old Time Fiddlers.

Trottier blends traditional Celtic, contemporary country, folk, bluegrass and western swing with her inspired fiddle and vocal arrangements.

Trottier spent nine years touring North America with the very successful Bowfire entourage, often described as “the finest line-up of fiddle and violin virtuosi ever assembled on one stage” and is currently touring with Greg Simm.

Simm has been a mainstay on the Nova Scotia music scene for more than 30 years. He has performed with artists as diverse as Denny Doherty, Lennie Gallant, Natalie MacMaster and Old Man Ludecke and

has appeared on more than 30 CDs as a musician, engineer and producer.

He has performed regularly with fiddler Gordon Stobbe for more than 20 years and recently has been a member of the Stobbe, Trottier, Simm trio featuring Kelli Trottier.

Simm is also a guitar instructor teaching in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba and Nunavut as well as serving as associate artist at Ship’s Company Theatre in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia.

“Greg Simm is just incredible,” Trottier says. “I love working with him and playing in smaller communities and at house concerts where I get to meet people. It’s really nice to have that connection.”

Trottier says she spent much of her youth in Glengarry Country, halfway between Ottawa and Montreal and started French Canadian step dancing (now called Ottawa Valley step dancing) when she was age four.

By nine she was taking

Professional Service

fiddle lessons and playing gigs with the family band.

She grew up in a musical family which played together for strawberry socials, fairs, and at seniors homes.

Her mother played piano, she and her dad played fiddle and her two sisters step danced.

She started writing fiddle music of her own early on and then songs.

She now has six independent albums to her credit, and her latest song I Can Smell the Rain.

Trottier says any money they earned performing as children was put toward their educations.

Trottier says she earned a bachelor of arts and a bachelor of education degree at Queens University, but after graduating she wasn’t ready to settle down with teaching.

Music took priority and for nine years she toured U.S. Canada, Europe, China and Taiwan with her band Bowfire.

Trottier was the lead female in the Toronto musical production of SwingStep. She has per-

This is not an endorsement.

After a successful week in Pitt Meadows, the show will be coming to the wonderful city of Williams Lake! 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.

“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 it’s currently trading at.”

During our show in Midland, a woman came in with a jewelry box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewelry,” explained Cheryl Barnes, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. 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, “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 it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’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! ”.

At another Roadshow event, a woman walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She finally decided 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 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Raymond Flack explains “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 content”. All in all, Roadshow customer Linda Donaldson was able to cash in with $4,500! “I’m so happy, “Linda explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can finally afford to renovate my kitchen.”

Raymond Flack continued, “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.”

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after

by Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox Cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, we can always make an offer to buy it.

“I’m so happy,” Linda explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can finally afford to renovate my kitchen.”

A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. We were able to locate a collector for that specific toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys.

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, we will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in

your pocket!

See You At The Show!

The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators. Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg.

10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis).

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.

Master Your Money

The New Wealth Secret

A true story of an unlikely underdog who mastered the money game Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I find it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and strangers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up.

Like it or not, money is what makes our society click. Canadians enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world, and money is a big part of the reason why.

about money. But Rob did approach him - and Frank told him Money is ALL about leverage.

Frank then went on and shared with Rob one of the greatest lessons he had ever learned.

When your money makes more money for you than your job does... then you are well on your way to financial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job - true financial independence begins when the money you invest is making

My name is Darren Weeks and I am one of the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about money. More specifically, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth.

Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side in all situations... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis.

When you understand the rules of the game...the money will find you!

My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list.

In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 14 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million per year.

On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.”

My greatest pride in all of this?

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

Rob Chaulk

you $25 an hour, without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months.

Rob Met Darren Rob then came to a Get Rich in Canada event, hosted by myself... and was able to create a $4 million dollar property portfolio in just 24 months.

As Rob says “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game - and how the game works - the money will find you!

Now it’s my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience.”

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

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

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

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

Rob was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers in the energy and industrial sector. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business.

When Rob read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he took it seriously and within 30 days he bought his first rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years... his key to retirement.

Right around this same time he had lunch with his rich dad (his multi-millionaire uncle).

Not exactly an easy guy to talk to, his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach

Which of these would you like to put a permanent end to?

• Constantly checking your bank balance to make sure there is enough left over to cover the monthly bills.

• Worrying about how you will EVER get out of the rut and finally be able to start relaxing about money.

• Arguing with your spouse about money and the challenges that come with a lack of it.

• Dreaming about that vacation you have always wanted and needed, yet knowing it will never happen at the rate you are going now.

• The fear that your children will be just as bad with their money as you have been.

• Fretting over those unexpected expenses that come in – knowing full well you have to do a lot of shuffling to scrape together enough to cover them off.

• The jealousy you feel when someone you know ends up doing well financially, knowing FULL WELL you are smarter than they are.

After dropping over 100 pounds

Is it your turn to master the money mindset?

I am proud to share that my system has worked for everyone who aggressively applied it. You could be the one with a large real estate portfolio and a business or two that runs without you. ...Many people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life.

My company has organized an event coming up in your city and I would like you to join us.

There is no cost to attend. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave.

Find out how to get out of bad debt and into wise investments. Discover how anyone, no matter how dire their circumstances, can go from rags to riches in 5 years or less. My students and business partners are prime examples of how you can start with nothing and build a very healthy investment portfolio and business in 5 years or less.

The best part? We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both with specific examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace.

Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family member with you and enjoy the journey to

wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95.

Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this.

Rob started off at a free event just like this. He heard about an event just like this put on by my company. He attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. He is now financially independent and able to live life on his own terms.

What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.WilliamsLakeGetRich.com and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well.

Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action.

If a completely unknown individual can be in the same situation you are and become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action.

Stop what you are doing right now and get your seat booked. Dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.WilliamsLakeGetRich.com and reserve your seat there.

PS: The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!” Your success demands an investment of your time and money... and we are handing you a grand opportunity to improve your odds of success many times over. Join us for an incredible journey – with a proven way to make 2012 the year you’ve always wanted. *Darren Weeks is not always the presenter at Fast Track events

Entry is through a covered porch and into a generous foyer on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor, with a coat closet to the right. Ahead is an L-shaped stairway that leads to the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor and the open-plan great room, dining room and kitchen.

The great room features a ďŹ replace ďŹ&#x201A;anked by entertainment units, which will make this room popular for family activities during the cooler months. In the warmer months, access to a sundeck overlooking the back garden will encourage outdoor living. The dining room also enjoys outdoor access, to a covered deck that runs along the front of the home.

The kitchen is separated from the dining room by a raised eating bar, ideal for snacks and casual meals. The U-shaped counter conďŹ guration means the cook wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste any steps. A corner pantry provides always-welcome storage space.

The master suite, located at the front of the house, features a corner window. The en suite boasts a soaker tub in a built-out bay, as well as a corner shower stall, and the walk-in closet will provide lots of space for a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing.

The three secondary bedrooms overlook the back garden and share a three-piece bathroom. All have

roomy closets.

Exterior ďŹ nishes include vertical siding and painted trim, as well as glass around the upper-storey balconies. A small arched, louvered vent over the garage doors adds a touch of country elegance.

Darlene Johnson Darlene (Randall) Johnson of 150 Mile House passed away on March 10, 2012 at the age of 52.

In the company of 8 brothers and sisters, Darlene made the intrepid trip by train from New Brunswick to the West Coast. Eventually, she became the girl next door to her future husband, Dean Johnson.

Darlene was captain of the “Johnson All Girls Baseball Team” consisting of three daughters and five granddaughters. A snowmobiler, aerobics instructor, house builder, antique collector, gardener extraordinaire, amazing cook - campfire or kitchen, ardent fisherwoman, and long standing sunset observer, Darlene loved her boat and adventures as much as her family.

Gone but not forgotten, with grace and dignity, Darlene’s spirit will remain with everyone in all the future fishing trips, hunting excursions and beach combing expeditions.

A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, March 23, 2012 at St. Andrews United Church.

Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Garry Kirstiuk 1950 ~ 2012 It is with great love and sadness that we announce the passing of our father, brother, grandfather and friend, Garry Kirstiuk at the age of 62 years. He was predeceased by his much loved wife, Sharon, and his parents Kris and Peggy. He is survived by his 3 children Daniel, Alexandra (Kevin Dueck) and Jonathan (Courtney) and three grandsons: Kona, Kaydan and Ethan. Garry is also survived by his brother Rick, sister Pam, and many cousins, aunts and uncles.

Garry was born on January 10, 1950 in North Vancouver as the first of three children. In 1974, Garry and Sharon moved to Williams Lake to start his career in Dentistry. He soon became very engaged in the community becoming much loved and respected. Garry’s love of God and music saw him involved in church worship at Cariboo Bethel Church, performing with Cariboo Gold Band, and many jazz ensembles. Garry also had a great fondness for the outdoors where he partook in several activities including fishing, hunting, swimming, skiing, and gardening.

Loved by many, Garry was an inspiration for his disciplined approach to life. He served man and God whenever he was in a position to do so, charitably serving others without any recognition needed. Garry demonstrated his generosity by taking each of his children on mission trips with YWAM Mercy Ships. Garry will be missed by all.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, March 24 at 1:30 pm at Cariboo Bethel Church in Williams Lake.

In lieu of flowers, donations to mercyships.ca would be greatly appreciated.

In Memory of Max K. Searls

June 2, 1933 - March 10, 2012 Max was born in Kelso, Washington and grew up in Toutle trapping, playing sports and roaming Mount St. Helens. In 1949, at the age of 16, he bought 160 acres in Canada and dreamed of the day he could move there.

After graduating he served his country in Korea for two years and came home to marry Viola McVey, the love of his life. Son Mike came along in 1956 followed closely by Max Jr. and Jack, finally after 22 years working for Weyerhauser, and a brand new baby girl named Debbie, the family moved to Canada to homestead that 160 acres. Max trapped, logged and raised sheep for years, then decided to buy his first guide area, thus entering a new phase of his life. In 1988, Max, Viola and Debbie moved to McLeese Lake to be close to the guide area.

When he retired, he was introduced to the fine art of knife building by his friend Marty Beets, turning out beautiful hunting knives. Some of these knives ended up in several European countries as well as Mexico and the U.S. Max lived the life he dreamed of as a kid, making many excellent friends along the way, and always accompanied by at least one good dog.

He was an excellent husband and a wonderful father and friend.

Max died of Leukemia at home surrounded by love. He was predeceased by his parents Barbra & Paul Searls and sister Lois Cooper. Survived by brother Mitch Searls and many nieces and nephews in Washington & other parts of the states, as well as sister and brother in-laws; Pat & Dave Hynning, Doris Claypool, Pete & Pattie McVey, and Guy & Ethel McVey. Left to carry on in Canada are his loving wife of 56 years Viola, sons: Mike (Susie), Max Jr. (Jackie) and Jack (Terri) as well as daughter Deb and #1 son-in-law Ken, 13 grandchildren & their spouses, and 4 great grandchildren.

There will be no service but anyone wishing to make a donation in Max’s memory can do so to “Mixed Up Mutts”, his granddaughter Mandy’s non-profit dog rescue.

THE ROADSHOW IS NOW IN WILLIAMS LAKE: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 4 Days Left! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; TERRY INKLER Canadian Collectors Roadshow Staff Writer

T

he Roadshow has been travelling the country in search of hidden treasures and is now in Williams Lake to see what surprises comes through the door! They will be appraising and buying everything from gold and silver jewellery and coins to antiques and collectibles. Now is the time to search through those old boxes containing the silverware you no longer want to polish, the jewellery you do not wear and the coin collections you would like to learn more about.

The experts at the Roadshow will be more than happy to look through your old treasures, heirlooms and curiosities, free of charge. They will even make you an offer to buy anything their network of collectors are looking for. You could be in possession of something rare and sought after that could earn you a lot of money!!!

At an event in Belleville, Ontario, a man named Larry Wilkes brought in an old jewellery box full of items he had inherited from family members, over the years. It contained gold and silver jewellery and even some costume jewellery that is desirable to collectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very pleased to see that there was this much value in that old box!â&#x20AC;? Larry commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never been much for jewellery so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was in there all these years.â&#x20AC;? Larry traded in his jewellery box for $3,700!

Expert appraiser Luc Bergevin explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has never been a better time to sell gold or silver jewellery, flatware or coins. Many people are coming to realize that since the stock market prices of precious metals are now so high there is a lot of money to be made from things that are just collecting dust!â&#x20AC;?

At an event, a woman named Lise Archambault arrived with a lot of silverware. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t polish itâ&#x20AC;?, Lise said. It turned out that among her unpolished silverware was a rare and beautiful Victorian coffee and tea service made in Lon-

don, England, in 1852 by Charles and George Fox. This set is highly desirable to collectors! Lise also had an assortment of newer sterling silverware. She decided to sell it all and received $5,000 for her items! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very happy that someone else could enjoy my silverware... but even happier that I can now take an overdue vacation!â&#x20AC;? Lisa joked.

At another Roadshow event in Calgary, Alberta, a man named Carlos Miller brought in a sizeable coin collection, which included a rare 1966 Small Bead Canadian silver dollar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really pleased to see that coin, as it is very rare. We purchased it for $6,000. We also purchased an assortment of other coins from him for their silver content,â&#x20AC;? expert appraiser Lawrence Tyee explained. He went on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;more and more people are cashing in their coins for their silver content, which is wise because of how much silver is worth these days!â&#x20AC;?

Canadian coins from 1968 or older and American coins from 1964 or older contain silver.

Many older foreign coins contain silver too. If you are not sure, the experts at the Roadshow can quickly let you know which ones contain silver and which ones are rare!

The Roadshow buys and appraises all kinds of antiques and collectibles.

Appraiser Sandy Johnstone recounts one of her more memorable experiences: â&#x20AC;&#x153;While working in White Rock, B.C. a gentleman came to my table with two boxes full of things. In the second box he had a large collection of cast-iron banks that our collectors love and several tin wind-up toys which are also collectible...especially his tin wind-up Popeye on a tricycle made by Linemar in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It was still in its original box and in perfect condition. What a find! We wound up giving him over $2,000 for these gems! Everyone was super happy!â&#x20AC;?

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