This Day in History:
1937 Jack Nicholson born Film actor Jack Nicholson is born in Neptune, New Jersey. Nicholson's father, an alcoholic, left his mother before Jack was born. Jack, an overweight child, developed a caustic humor to protect himself from the teasing of his peers. He won a scholarship to the University of Delaware but decided to try acting instead and moved to Los Angeles. In Hollywood, he landed a series of odd jobs, from answering fan letters written to MGM cartoon characters Ben and Jerry to fighting fires. He studied acting at the Players Ring Theater and began winning TV parts

Only three weeks left of summer vacation – you know what that means?? Get up early and listen to more people tell you what to do !! hahah Good luck to our Members entering Grade 12 and all high school staff !! We’ve been there and it really does hurt.

Joke of the week:
A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He said: "Call for backup."

RIDDLE ME RIGHT:

1) What is it that gets wetter when it dries?

2) Ryan and Craig were identical twins born in Abbotsford in 1961. Ryan was born before Craig, but according to their birth certificates, Craig was older than Ryan. How come?

There will be a prize for the first 5 correct submissions.

Say “hello” to a returning Team Member and a
new Team Member:
Roger Gauthier has been on leave for quite some time due to health issues. He is ready to come back and protect the area!! Roger has been with Medallion for about 4 years on and off.
Welcome to Apryl Beever who just joined us this week.

Pay Cheque Reminder
Pay cheques are not ready until after TWELVE at the very EARLIEST. PLEASE do not phone every payday to find out when they will be ready. Answering all the calls takes time away from getting the attachments ready, therefore delaying the cheques issuing process.

Hope everyone had a great EASTER!!!

I sure enjoyed my time away form the office. Although it was just as busy as if I was here.

SCHEDULES:
Please be sure to review the schedules carefully.
I don’t have time to highlight everyone’s shifts.
If you have any questions please ask.

SECURITY TEAM MEMBERS
If your Licence is about to expire please let the office know if you have not been notified.

Happy Birthday
Brent & Peter

Good bye Mike Munro
It has been a pleasure having you with us once again. Good luck with the Armored Car Service. You are more than welcome to come back anytime.

Jeff:
Hope you are feeling better and have recuperated from your surgery.

This Day in History

1994 Nirvana's Kurt Cobain dead at 27 Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the rock band Nirvana, is found dead three days after committing suicide in his Seattle home. His death launched a world-wide outpouring of grief among millions of Nirvana fans. Cobain's "grunge" band transformed rock music in the early 1990s and, although he did not accept the title, Cobain himself was considered the spokesperson for "Generation X."
1899 The first woman is executed in the electric chair Martha Place is the first woman to be executed in the electric chair. The electric chair, ostensibly designed to be less barbarous than hanging, was first used in the execution of William Kemmler in 1890
