Industry Update: Auction Industry Growth Continued in First ...
KANSAS CITY -- Gross sales revenues from auctions by NAA members in the first quarter of 2007 increased 2% over the same-time period one year ago, a study by the NAA has found. If this trend continues, this will translate into approximately $266 billion total revenue for 2007 for the entire auction industry, up from $257.2 billion in 2006, a projected 3.4% increase for all of 2007. This suggests the possibility of a slightly slower growth in the live auction industry in 2007 compared to 2006, when a 7.1% growth rate occurred for all of 2006 over the previous year. The first quarter growth last year was 5.7%. These are the findings documented in a quarterly report of auction industry growth being conducted by global market research firm MORPACE International on behalf of the National Auctioneers Association (NAA).

New Brunswick base bids farewell to fallen soldier
A Canadian Forces base in New Brunswick paid tribute to a comrade killed in Afghanistan Saturday, marking the end of a difficult week for Canada's military. Trooper Patrick James Pentland, 23, a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons who was killed in Afghanistan on April 11, was buried with full military honours on Saturday — the last funeral for eight soldiers killed during Canada's deadliest week of combat in Afghanistan. The 800 mourners who attended the funeral service at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown near Fredericton, heard how he loved children so much he once asked about adopting an orphaned Afghan child. "He loved children," Pastor Alex Varga told the funeral service. Although the Dragoons are based at CFB Petawawa in Ontario, Pentland had served earlier at Gagetown and his family still lives near the New Brunswick base.
