Dealer order/trade may be necessary. Offers subject to change and may be extended without notice. See participating dealer for complete details and conditions. •$37,980 Purchase Price applies to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
(26E) only. Pricing includes freight ($1,400) and excludes licence, insurance, registration, any dealer administration fees and other applicable fees and applicable taxes. Dealer order/trade may be necessary. Dealers may sell for less. See participating dealers for complete details. ±Variable Prime Rate financing up to 84 months is offered on approved credit on most new 2010 and 2011 vehicles to qualified retail customers through TD Financing Services and Royal Bank of
Canada. Bi-weekly payments shown are based on 84-month terms. Variable rate shown is based on TD and RBC Prime Rate and fluctuates accordingly. Payments and financing term may increase or decrease with rate fluctuations. RBC offer not open to Quebec dealers. TD offer is not open to residents of Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories. Some conditions apply. See participating dealers for complete details. ††Customer Choice Financing
for 36-, 48- and 60-month terms on approved credit through TD Financing Services and Ally Credit Canada is available at participating dealerships to qualified retail customers on most new 2010 Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram models (except Grand Caravan Cargo Van and Ram Chassis Cab) and select 2011 Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram models. The following terms apply to TD Financing Services contracts. (Different contract terms apply to Ally Credit Canada
offers. See your dealer for complete details.) Vehicles are financed over a 36-, 48- or 60-month term with payments amortized over a term of up to 96 months and the pre-determined residual balance payable at the end of the contract. At contract’s end, customers have the choice of returning their vehicle through a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram dealership with no further obligations (except payment of a $199 return fee and excess wear and tear, mileage and similar
charges), financing the remaining balance for the rest of the amortization period at then-current standard rates or paying the residual balance in full. Some conditions apply. Customer Choice Financing offered by TD in Quebec is subject to different terms and conditions. All advertised Customer Choice Financing offers are TD offers. Example: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (26E) with a Purchase Price of $37,980 financed at 2.99% APR over 60 months with payments
amortized over 80 months equals 130 bi-weekly payments of $241 and one final payment of $10,355 for a cost of borrowing of $3,699 and a total obligation of $41,679. Taxes, licence, insurance, registration, excess mileage and wear and tear charges, any dealer administration fees and other applicable fees and charges not included. Dealers may sell for less.

nife poised, Bruce Rothe stared intently at
the gnarled piece of yellow cedar, examin-
ing the contours, the flaws, and the shape.
The cancer that lurked within him was far from
his mind.
“Eagle,” he muttered to himself as a small smile
lit his face.
“It will need grinding because it is so hard and
the feathers will be tricky”.
Gradually, he started to work the wood with his
myriad of tools and slowly a proud eagle emerged
from what was discarded drift wood.
Rothe – master horticulturist, fishery expert,
and teacher – had become a master carver.

He even has a troll guarding his back garden.
Recovering from a recent bout of chemothera-
py, Rothe announced that it was time to remove
the old cherry tree in the back yard.
However, he didn’t simply cut it down.
Rothe took his old electric chain saw and in a
few hours an owl slowly began to appear.
At first it looked rustic, but gradually it became
clearer and clearer until it was so authentic that,
he says, no birds would land in his backyard.
Brian Leslie says Bruce has shown friends his
creative spirit.
“His carving and everything else he has done,
