Precious metals roadshow travels north Ursa Major Gold, Silver and Coin offers knowledge and no-obligation assessments Although Ursa Major Gold, Silver and Coin president Barry Dick has been to Powell River on several occasions, this weekend marks the first time his precious metals roadshow visits the northern Sunshine Coast. Two buyers, including Dick, will be on hand to analyze and purchase gold, silver, coins, paper money, sterling silver and flatware, gold nuggets and jewellery from sellers on a first-come, first-served basis. Cash is paid to complete all transactions. “We’ve been coming to Sechelt for about 10 years, but have never taken that second boat,” says Dick. “This is a neat first-time opportunity.” Now semi-retired, Dick became involved with precious metals after seeing a television advertisement many years ago that encouraged people to mail in their gold and wait for a cheque to be mailed back. “I thought, ‘Good gracious, who would do that?’” says Dick. “Who would let their items out of their sight?” Dick says he also noticed buyers at other roadshows taking items brought in by potential sellers to a separate room to do an assessment, then coming back to inform them of the value. “It was so wrong and potentially dishonest. We ensure people’s items never leave their sight while they are with us,” explains Dick. “We assess everything right in front of them, whether it’s coins, a diamond or paper money.” Dick started in the business part-time at age 16 before it evenOFF 15% D UTS AN STR KS SHOC
tually evolved into a full-time career. Despite working in the field for nearly 40 years, he has always considered it mostly a hobby. “I became serious about travelling and buying about 15 years ago,” says Dick. “I’ve always been a hobbyist gold panner, and coins are something that have followed me around since I was a little boy.” Dick says some of his earliest memories are of asking his father for loose change when he arrived | EFFICIENT | DEPENDABLE POWERFUL

weekend sessions sit down, have a conversation about their items and find out the value. “If people choose to sell what they bring in after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information,” says Dick. “A lot of times they just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling.” Dick says from a precious metals point of view, the amount of recycling that takes place now is

home from shopping so he could search for a coin he needed for his collection. As a buyer, Dick shares his knowledge and experience to make sellers feel comfortable and to help remove any trepidation they may have with the process. “A lot of times people don’t know what they have,” he says. “Taking the show on the road gives them an opportunity to find out if they own something valuable.” Sellers who come to the free
incredible. “Ever y year manufacturers need a certain amount of gold to make computer processors or cell phones,” says Dick. “All new vehicles have gold in their computers as well, and new jewellery is always being manufactured.” According to Dick, almost half of current manufacturing needs for gold are being met through recycling broken or out-of-fashion jewellery. “Here is a chance to recycle it, and that makes a huge difference to the economy and the environment,” says Dick. “To mine an ounce of gold right now costs about $500 worth of diesel.” Gold purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost. “Taking what is not being used and reusing it is stewardship of the environment,” says Dick. “Silver or gold can easily be reclaimed using very little energy to melt down and purify it. While Ursa deals directly with a smelter, Dick’s hobbyist and collector background affects where the coins he buys may end up. “I’m a collector and I want coins to remain coins, not be melted,” explains Dick. “I’m in touch with and in the community of collectors, so if somebody has a reasonably rare coin, I know who needs it.” Ursa Major Gold, Silver and Coin show takes place from 10 am-5 pm on Saturday, May 27, and from 10 am-4 pm on Sunday, May 28, at Cranberry Seniors Centre, 6792 Cranberry Street.

River residents to learn more about a punk scene that birthed the likes of Base Camp owner Colin MacRae and Wright, who recently became coowner of Red Lion Pub in Wildwood. Always musically eclectic and politically minded, Victoria punk bands carved their own identity in a music genre that was often shrugged off as juvenile or inept. Somewhere to Go: Punk Victoria highlights the talented, intelligent people from Victoria’s punk scene who make music on their own terms. “The bands featured in the film began at a time when punk was still so new to Victoria and the rest of the world, when youth were overdue for something different and exciting,” says Ortlieb. “Punk opened the floodgates to all kinds of experimentation

Tow n sit e w i l l b e c elebr at i ng Victoria, BC’s punk rock history this weekend with a documentary film screening and live music event. Directed by Victoria resident Paulina Ortlieb and featuring influential bands such as Nomeansno, Neos and Infamous Scientists, Somewhere to Go: Punk Victoria is a historic and socially conscious look at a music scene unlike any other in North America. Including Victoria punk transplants who now live in the Powell River area, such as Nomeansno’s John Wright and Tom Holliston, the film has only had two other screenings since its Victoria premiere in March. “We’re so excited to be screening Somewhere to Go in Powell River,” says Ortlieb. “Not only do we get to screen it at the renowned Patricia Theatre, we will be able to watch it with some of the members of the Victoria punk scene who appear in the film and now live in Powell River.” Besides the 9:30 pm Saturday screening at the theatre, the weekend will kick off on Friday night at McKinney’s Pub with a Nomeansno tribute band, featuring members of Victoria’s current punk scene. Saturday’s film screening will also feature a pre-party at McKinney’s, starting at 7:30 pm, and a post-party after the screening. The weekend is a chance for Powell

THE LAW CORNER Q. I was injured in a car accident and have been dealing with ICBC on my own. I’ve been told I have only two years to settle my claim. Is this true? A. No. The Limitation Act provides that a claim for personal injury must be commenced within two years from the date it occurred (unless you are a minor). This means if you have not settled with ICBC within two years from the date of your accident, you must start a court action before two years have expired. Not doing so extinguishes your claim. Once your action is commenced, your claim for damages is preserved until settlement or final judgment.

Slow movement A new buzz word has entered the green scene, shortly on the heels of hits like “eco” and “zero waste,” that may become as ubiquitous as blockbuster films with heroes in capes. It is time for the “slow” movement to take the world by storm, or at least to gently wave its way onto the shores of our conscience. In an era of the drive-thru, Instagram, digital downloads, to-go food and distracted driving, we are developing a craving for space away from all the speed and stimulation. Pioneers of the slow movement are indeed an echo of early settlers who grew their own food, cooked at home, travelled by foot and caught up with friends face to face. Spearheaded by “slow food,” this movement is a direct response to the explosion of cheap and fast food being pumped into the stomachs of the nation. Some of the growing appeal of a slower approach is that it is often healthier, cheaper and gentler on the planet. Brainstorming ways a household can gear down to a more present presence can be fun. Here are some suggestions to get started on the slow train: 1. Visit Powell River Farmers’ market for fresh ingredients, local crafts and live entertainment on Saturdays from 10:30 am12:30 pm and Sundays from 12:30-2:30 pm. 2. Grow food. Start with herb planter boxes and “grow” from there. 3. Mend something instead of tossing it.

Distractions and work ethic
OPEN HOUSE TOUR
SATURDAY, MAY 27
We all become distracted, especially if we are doing something we have no interest in. A number of things can be a cause for distraction: friends, for example. We have all been that friend at least once, at a time when we just cannot focus. Usually, we become bored and turn to our friends. We will try to talk to them or make jokes, anything to keep from doing work. There are moments when we are conscious of this, and then moments when we are not, but it is always a little embarrassing to be called out on our bad behaviour. In the long run though, it is best to just let people get

By Macy How work done in class, even if we cannot. We should try not to disturb the other students. Another cause for distraction is definitely technology. It is a hard thing to say, because most of us love
immensely is time management. I find that time management can often be overlooked, especially in class. One of the best ways to work sufficiently is to work for at least 20 to 30 minutes and take breaks of five minutes in-between. That way, you can use the five-minute break to relax and calm down, making it easier to stay focused and accomplish your goals. If we can apply this method more often in class, perhaps it will not be so difficult to deal with our workloads. Macy How is a grade nine student at École Côte-du-Soleil.

In particular, we are looking for a home and caregivers who are able to provide long-term care to a young boy who has experienced a disrupted early life. He needs caring and consistent caregivers who can support his behavioural and developmental needs. Despite some behavioural challenges, he is extremely bright and engaging. He is well liked and has great potential if provided compassionate and skilled intervention. Powell River is his home community and a great place to grow up. Caregivers would need to follow a consistent behavioural plan, supported by community professionals. A generous support package includes a fee for service to the caregivers. For more information, please contact the Powell River Branch of the Ministry of Children and Family Development at: 604 485-0600.
