FortuneBuilders REVIEW: Customer Satisfaction Commitment: FortuneBuilders dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction.
*UPDATE: Recognized by Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Program as a safe business service. FortuneBuilders pledges to always resolve any issues: feel safe, confident & secure when doing business with FortuneBuilders, recognized by Ripoff Report Verified™ as a safe business service.
EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to FortuneBuilders for its full commitment to quality customer service.
Ripoff Report's discussions with FortuneBuilders have uncovered an ongoing dedication by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any concerns. FortuneBuilders listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
The founder of the company Mr. Merrill has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his students are the heart of the business. As a successful real estate investor and one of the most trusted and well respected real estate educators and authors, Mr. [continued below]....
He said "Mr. Merrill is always inspiring and challenging everyone within the company to continue improving the educational experience for our students. Whether it's adding more live training events, or improving our online training curriculum, or continuing to improve the systems, tools, or software that we offer students."
Mr. Chadwick went on to say that he really has never met someone as dedicated to their company as Mr. Merrill. He went on to say " Mr. Merrill doesn't sleep and that he has never met anyone with the work ethic and commitment to the company's programs and students." He went on to add that "he is also constantly teaching and coaching students within the program at a lot of their advanced live training events and that their students really appreciate how connected he is to the student body."
One of the things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its review is that the company has thousands of successful investors students around the country. The common thing their students said is that they "truly feel part of a bigger family."
Many of their company's clients reference the fact that the company is always sharing best practices not only of the founders real estate business, but also of the numerous successful students who have also created extremely successful real estate businesses in different markets around the country.
Ripoff Report also learned, in the course of the review, that the company is extremely responsive when and if the company knows about an issue that might arise with a student. It is very clear the company is committed to their students and that even when a student falls behind they stick with the student to help them get back on track.

The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Geoffery Chadwick during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Fortune Builders.
Fortune Builders is a real estate education company that has developed education tools and platforms in order to provide their clients with the highest quality information to further develop their real estate careers. Fortune Builder's goals are for their customers to develop real estate education for buyers and investors to buy, hold, redevelop, and or manage real property. Geoffery Chadwick went on to state the following, "there is no specific area of real estate emphasized, but each course and coaching package is aimed at what the client wants to do and their comfort level in dealing with real estate."
The leads for Fortune Builders are developed through several different avenues including referrals, radio advertisements, television advertisements, direct mail, and online inquires. Once an initial interest has been made Mr. Chadwick explains the typical experience a client would receive with Fortune Builders, "clients are offered at attend a free two hour seminar. It is mostly a informative show of real estate techniques, then they are offered an opportunity to attend a three day training course at a cost of $197.00." The training course offers in depth details and training materials for the client's review.
During the onsite interview Mr. Chadwick was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Chadwick explained that the complaints Fortune Builder is most aware of involve the sales approach and pitch at the seminars. Some customers are unaware of the dedication necessary to effectively own real estate, and they request their $197.00 back. Mr. Chadwick explained that when this happens, "our policy, at the time, was a delayed return of their money within 7-10 days. We have since streamlined the refund policy to within 48 hours of their request and that has proven to be satisfactory to the clients. We also made the offer for clients to cancel at the end of the 1st day of the seminar instead of at the end." These complaints were at the local workshops in San Diego, and at other workshops throughout the United States and Canada.
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Chadwick stated the following, "if the client was not satisfied with the product or service promised, perceived or not, a simple phone call to the office would have rectified the problem in the clients favor." Fortune Builders is a company dedicated to education and customer service. This can be shown through their many clients who are successfully selling, owning, and redeveloping properties.
Fortune Builders is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Mr. Chadwick further explains by stating, "as you may be aware, many complaints are made and posted by anonymous posters with no form of rebuttal available to our company. Being a member of the program has given us the ability to interface with the complainant and deal with the problem in a timely and professional manner."
"We are one of the top educational company's in the country that helps real estate investors start, grow, and scale their real estate investment businesses.
FortuneBuilders's The company has an extremely positive work environment. Everyone within the company is encouraged to grow both personally, professionally, and financially. The managers within the company are also always pushing everyone to always think of ways to improve the educational experience of our students while at the same time making sure that every employee is also growing.
If you have any questions please email the company's chief officer of customer care Roy Lindenmayer at email@example.com."
FortuneBuilders takes employee satisfaction seriously as well. Employee feedback and surveys reveal comments such as this, "Opportunities for suggestions and improvements are encouraged within the company. The founders are definitely committed to providing growth opportunities and have created a family like atmosphere within the organization."
Ripoff Report was pleased to learn that FortuneBuilders's past and current approach to business is focused on its pledge to total commitment towards client and employee satisfaction.

Fortune Builders You Don't Always Get What you Pay For Internet
I responded to an advertisement for a free informational session on real estate investing held by Fortune Builders. In the free session a lot of rehabbing success stories were used to entice newbies with the earning potential of the market and to ensure they spend $197.00 for the three day seminar wherein multiple subjects would be covered in great detail. One book and two worksheets were provided in addition to tickets to the seminar. After two days at the seminar I had taken fewer notes than an average day in a University general studies class in addition to enduring 16 of 20 hours pitching the Mastery Program to me at a cost ranging from 15-35K dollars.
I do not want to disparage the professionalism of the keynote speaker Jeremy Black or his sincerity, however, the seminar was disingenous to be sure. None of what was promised to be covered was taught with any depth, rather trully empowering information was held out like a carrot on a stick for Mastery student status and involvement. For a company that prides itself on the mantra of helping people and giving back, they seemed to have very little qualms about taking my hard earned 200$ and selling me snake oil and a continued promise of potential. Additionally, I was called out from the stage twice for pouring over my information rather than focusing on an exercise in waisting time that was going on on the stage. It was insulting to say the least since my family and friends had rallied on my behalf to afford me the opportunity to be there, everyone had pitched in to take my kids and cover my wife and I at work. Initially on the first day refunds were offered if anyone was dissatisfied, I will see if that offer is still available and perhaps send an amendment to this complaint.
If you have $200 to pay for information that is widely available with minimal research online, then by all means Fortune Builders seminars are for you, just be prepared for an infomercial experience of little substance beyond what a few dedicated hours of independent study can achieve. If you want an environment of positivity and encouragement where you learn enough basics to empower you to risk personal bankruptcy then these seminars are for you. Remember a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, these seminars are turning out real estate investors who are equipped with a feel good high and prepared for little more than risk and ruin.

You Cannot Hide Your Sins from God
July 29, 2010 by Robert
Filed under Christian Devotionals
Reading for the day: Proverbs 28:13
"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."
Have you done something that you know is wrong in God's eyes? Have you confessed your sin with a contrite heart, or are you avoiding the issue, hoping the problem will go away?
Toddlers often do this. They may take a cookie they weren't allowed to have, or push down a playmate. When we ask them if they did it, they look innocent and say, "No! Not me!" even when we saw them do it. As parents, we know that we can't let them get away with lying about what happened, because even if they deny it, they did something wrong and they must admit it and learn from their mistake. We may even say, "It's okay that you pushed your sister, but lying about it is wrong. I'd rather you tell me the truth even if you did something bad than lie to me."
Then why do we so often try to ignore our own sins? Perhaps we've fudged a bit on our tax return, or gossiped behind someone's back. Maybe we have cheated on our spouse or been unfair to our children. But whatever the sin, we cannot hide them from God. Like a watchful parent, He sees our sins even if we don't acknowledge them ourselves. But we need to confess them openly and honestly; only then will we learn from our mistakes and gain God's mercy and forgiveness. God asks us to confess so that we can move on – the burden of a 'hidden' sin is one we don't have to carry.
Prayer Suggestion: If you have been avoiding confession of your sins, don't wait another day. Lay all of them before God and ask for His mercy and forgiveness.

I can't tell if those are helium balloons being let go, or just blown up balloons being thrown out the windows, but I do want to send the message that balloons should not be released into the environment, as they kill and harm wildlife who think the pieces are food. Please see balloonsblow.org.

Karass Creative is an amazing company located in Pioneer Square, who recently donated time and services (along with others in a rebranding committee) to redo the branding for our neighborhood, and for the Alliance for Pioneer Square.
Pioneer Square has always been the heart and soul of Seattle, but lately the city needs a compelling reminder that this is still true. We're working with the Alliance for Pioneer Square to develop a comprehensive campaign—from social to bus sides—that resonates with a singular story; we aim to put our beloved 'hood back on the map for good.
So? What do you think?
A Pioneer Square resident, Paul Hughes, has recently started a new company that I know will at least make my 88-year-old grandma happy.
She doesn't have internet and I am way too lazy to send snail mail. According to Paul, it makes me a perfect customer for his new company.
Postcardly, helps you to "turn your emails into real-life postcards delivered by US Mail." Their process is very simple and it seems that they have thought through all scenarios to make it as easy as possible to show your relatives how much you care.
It has received great reviews on both GeekWire and CNET, and starting today, they are featuring a new promotion: $19.99 for a 20 postcard pack.
You can also head to their website and sign up for a free trial, which will let you send 3 postcards for free.
Former Seattle Mayor Charley Royer (and amazing Pioneer Square resident) was named the 2011 Downtown Champion at the Downtown Seattle Association's 53rd Annual Meeting Friday afternoon.
The award was presented in recognition of Royer's tireless efforts in helping to revitalize the Pioneer Square neighborhood, the development of a new Central Waterfront and his active participation in a number of other civic initiatives this past year.
In presenting the award, Lyn Tangen of Vulcan Real Estate – last year's recipient along with the Seattle Parks Foundation – told Royer, "You've been a community leader for more than 30 years, but this past year your involvement and leadership in so many projects critical to Downtown's future earn you the sincere gratitude of the Downtown Seattle Association, and the title 2011 Downtown Champion."
The presentation was a surprise to Royer, who realized he was this year's honoree along with the other 600 people in attendance when a video titled "Mister Royer's Neighborhood" aired on meeting room screens. The video (http://www.youtube.com/user/downtownseattle) – thanking Royer for his numerous contributions – included special messages from Chuck Armstrong, Seattle Mariners; Kevin Daniels, Daniels Development; Bob Donegan, Ivar's; Jen Kelly, Downtown resident; Leslie Smith, The Alliance for Pioneer Square; Maggie Walker, Royer's co-chair on the Central Waterfront Committee and many more.
Each year the DSA presents the Downtown Champion Award to an individual, company or organization that has made a significant impact in furthering DSA's mission to champion a healthy, vibrant urban core. This is the first time in the award's history that an individual received the award.

King Street's Jackson Plaza Gets a Grand Opening (The SunBreak)
As for the plaza itself, Seattle Transit Blog says: "The plaza has yet to house any vendors/businesses, so I wouldn't expect there to be a sudden renewal of vibrancy and activity. There are some fairly unique design elements, however, like an all-gravel floor, which almost gives the appearance of a giant Zen garden."
Demitri Pallis expands distribution of his bloody mary concoctions through Seattle's Gourmet Mixes (PSBJ)
Inspiration came for the longtime bartender after he grew frustrated with the consistency and quality of the bloody mary mix that he used at a popular New Orleans-themed bar in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood.
Affordable Artist Studios Retained in Magnuson Park (Seattlest)
The new 10-year agreement stipulates that Parks will lease 5,000 feet of space from Building 11 LLC and will sublease the space out to artists at affordable rates. They will offer long-term and short-term leases at a rate of $1.08 per square foot per month. For comparison, Pioneer Square's 619 Building leases at anywhere from $.90 to $1.25 per square foot per month.
Pioneer Square's Best Po-Boy (KOMONews)
The place is called Marcela's Creole Cookery, but it may as well be titled Slow Burn. Anthony MacDonald and Marcela Fuenzalida's New Orleans-inspired restaurant in Pioneer Square serves a lot of heavy, unfussy, delicious Southern comfort food (including gator), all of it laced with just enough heat to feel it on the back of your tongue without sending you scrabbling for the water glass.
The Grand Opening of King Street Station's Jackson Plaza is happening Friday, June 24th from 10:30am – 11:15 am.
After the cutting of the ribbon, the plaza will officially be opened to the public.

This will be the third year in a row that I've done the Seattle Rock N' Roll (half) Marathon — it benefits the American Cancer Society and will bring over 28,000 runners and walkers to Seattle. It is also one of the only runs in the rock n' roll series that sells out every year.
Although the race starts in South Seattle, it winds through Pioneer Square, up onto the Viaduct, and ends at Qwest Field. There will be major road closures and a lot of bus route changes, beginning early Saturday morning.
There is an interactive map that highlights what roads will be closed on their Community Website.
Join the festivities! Seattle residents are encouraged to visit the free Health & Fitness Expo at the Qwest Event Center, volunteer during race weekend, and/or line the course to cheer runners.
Affected Transit Routes
For information about area transit service that may be affected by this event, visit www.kingcounty.gov/metro or soundtransit.org during the week of June 20.
Rock N' Roll has also provided a printable map that shows the course, a table with road closures, and other information. If you're not participating, you can still join the thousands of people who line up in Pioneer Square down 2nd Ave, and by Qwest field to cheer the runners as they make their way back.

Emmanuel Macron
Last quote by Emmanuel Macron
Emmanuel Macron quotes
Nov 09 2017
This is not the role of a president, and similarly I would not expect a leader of a foreign country to come and infringe on domestic matters.feedback
Nov 09 2017
If we were to walk away from it, it would lead to either immediate war or an absence of control which would inevitably lead to a North Korean-situation, which I could not accept.feedback
Nov 09 2017
I believe it's important that we work with Saudi Arabia for the purpose of guaranteeing stability in the region and the fight against terrorism. France's military capacity is at the heart of my ambitions for our country.feedback
Nov 09 2017
Our common challenge today is how to defend light, tolerance and respect of each other. That's the challenge of our generation.feedback
Nov 09 2017
We have won in Raqqa and in the coming weeks, the coming months, I believe it strongly, we will completely win on the military level in the Iraqi-Syrian zone.feedback
Nov 09 2017
My wish is that all Lebanese political officials live freely in Lebanon ... which means having a very demanding stance on those who could threaten any leader.feedback
Nov 08 2017
What is up for stakes here is very important, because in reality there is nothing more urgent, more important than the promotion of culture, education, beauty and everything which seems to express humanity's highest level.feedback
Nov 02 2017
I know a man who'll read your verse… The President of France.feedback
Nov 02 2017
How you flatter me! So few poets these days/ Ever sing the praises of my Parisian soul.feedback
Nov 01 2017
I don't believe in this French jealousy which says, There are rich people; let's tax them and we will all feel better. So this is classic French hypocrisy. In order for our society to do better, we've got to have people who succeed, and people will then say, that's great.feedback
Oct 27 2017
I don't despair of making him change his mind.feedback
Europe is moving forward, I salute the ambitious agreement on posted workers: more protection, less fraud.feedback
Our inability to work together convincingly undermines our credibility.feedback
There are concessions to make from both negotiating teams during phase one, but we aren't going to make concessions based on discourse. The objectives are fixed, they're conducted from the European side by Michel Barnier, and we have to respect that. I believe the problem that Theresa May has is that those who defended Brexit have never explained to the British people what the consequences are.feedback
If there are noises, bluff, false information by secondary actors or spectators to this discussion, that is … just life in these matters, or in the media. But in no case is it part of the discussions.feedback
This European Council will be marked by a message of unity, unity around our member states in the face of the crises they may experience, unity around Spain, and a very strong unity in the Brexit debate. We're all united on the interests and ambitions of negotiator Michel Barnier.feedback
A lot is in the hands of Theresa May.feedback
We (EU) are too slow to provide an adequate and fully coordinated response to the threat. France, along with the United Kingdom, has taken the initiative in the fight against jihadist propaganda on the internet and we will maintain this pressure, we will increase it vis-à-vis the main operators (Internet) but that I consider insufficient.feedback
We know very well at what point we start feeling intimidated, unsafe or harassed in the street.feedback
Since 2005, when the French and the Dutch voted no on a constitution for Europe, nobody has developed a real project for the E.U.feedback
The U.S. is our ally.feedback
I wasn't trying to humiliate. ... I take full responsibility for what was said.feedback
He wants to make things tougher with Iran ... I explained to him that for me that is a bad method. Look at the Korea situation. We broke off all negotiations with Korea. What is the result? A few years later we have a country that is about to have a nuclear weapon.feedback
We're here. France is back.feedback
I constantly talk to the American president, because it's my duty. It's the right way to do it because he is the head of the top power so it's necessary to anchor him to this partnership and multilateralism.feedback
Kicking up a bloody mess.feedback
France is a country of regicidal monarchists. It is a paradox: the French want to elect a king, but they would like to be able to overthrow him whenever they want.feedback
There is no plan B because there is no planet B.feedback
I think the right debate to have is to say that it's not a good idea at EU level to put the glyphosate issue to one side for another 10 years.feedback
We have endured too much pressure in recent years on these questions, too many hidden interests and industry expertise that is in no way scientific expertise.feedback
Identity of language lives through the confrontations with other languages.feedback
I propose suspending the effects of the declaration of independence to undertake talks in the coming weeks without which it is not possible to reach an agreed solution.feedback
We are talking about a political agreement between two parties. If there is one thing politicians are good at doing it is making an agreement, if the political will is there.feedback
For Europe we need a vision and a screwdriver. Unfortunately, we currently have a lot of screwdrivers but we are still lacking a vision.feedback
We plead for the recognition of the Kurds' rights within the constitution. There is a way, a way of respecting peoples' rights, political inclusion but also that allows the preservation of the established constitutional frame, stability and the territorial integrity of Iraq.feedback
Instead of kicking up a bloody mess, some of them would be better off going to see if they can get a job over there. Some of them have got the qualifications to do it. It's not that far for them to go. You don't scare me with your t-shirt. The best way of paying for a suit is to work.feedback
I salute the soldiers of Sentinelle and the police who reacted with composure and efficiency.feedback
I don't have red lines, just horizons.feedback
All escalation should be avoided.feedback
Today we're all convinced Europe must move ahead faster and stronger, for more sovereignty, more unity and more democracy.feedback
I want all of those deep reforms that our institutions seriously need to be done within a year. These reforms will go to parliament, but if needed, I will put them to voters via referendum.feedback
That is why ... I support the initiative taken by several finance ministers for a tax on the value created in our countries. This tax will allow us to levy a fair contribution to public goods by taxing the actors who are competing with our European actors and who are today not taking part or not taking sufficient part.feedback
But I know her (German Chancellor Angela Merkel) answer will be neither withdrawal nor faint-heartedness. I know that just as every time her country has faced historical challenges she will have the same reaction: boldness and a sense of history, and this is what I am offering her.feedback
A budget can only go hand-in-hand with strong political leadership led by a common (finance) minister and a strong parliamentary supervision at the European level. We share the same European ambitions and I know her commitment to Europe. I'm proposing to Germany a new partnership. We will not agree on everything, not immediately, but we will discuss everything.feedback
Some had said I should wait for the coalition talks to be concluded.feedback
If in the years ahead, we don't have a significant price of carbon per ton to allow for a profound change in our economies, then it would be worthless. We must work toward that horizon. From today, we must organize ourselves and do it. It is indispensable.feedback
The Europe that we know is too weak, too slow, too inefficient. But Europe alone can give us the ability to act in the world faced with big contemporary challenges.feedback
Discussions are under way which don't define the future of Europe. But in this revamped, simplified European Union I don't rule that Britain could find its place.feedback
We need much more investment and we need means of stabilization to confront economic shocks.feedback
The majority the chancellor has accepted to build in the coming days and weeks will have to work with us for the next four years. I see this as an unprecedented opportunity. We won't agree on everything, at least not immediately, but we will discuss everything.feedback
I won't let anyone in Europe, given what we are doing in France, to say it is not legitimate for France to make proposals.feedback
We need a Europe that is simpler, more transparent and less bureaucratic.feedback
We cannot accept that there are European firms that are taxed and internationals one that are not.feedback
We will resolutely continue our cooperation that is essential for Europe and our countries.feedback
I believe in democracy but democracy is not the street.feedback
Before we move forward, we want to clarify matters concerning the settlement of European citizens, the financial terms of exit and the question of Ireland. If these three points are not clarified, we will not be able to advance on the rest.feedback
Never has a reform of such magnitude been made since the beginning of the Fifth Republic. And never has a reform been made in so few months. This follows dozens of hours of parliamentary debate, about 80 hours and more than 300 hours of consultation with social partners to refound the philosophy of our labor law, its state of mind, with profound effects on employment, especially for younger and less skilled workers.feedback
I want a deep, cordial dialogue to bring him back into the international and multilateral fold on these two subjects. As I'm a pragmatist, I put myself in a position to work the best way possible with him. Not at all. I'm managing a partner of the world's biggest power and a historical partner for our country.feedback
At the very beginning of your mandate, you have political capital–you have to use it. I don't mind to be very high in terms of popularity, and so on. My country has to be reformed. I have 10 percent unemployment rate, I have almost 25 percent of my young people being unemployed. It's useless to have political capital and stay in such a situation.feedback
It required a lot of intelligence to do so and you did it.feedback
Is this agreement enough? No. It is not, given the evolution of the regional situation and increasing pressure that Iran is exerting on the region, and given ... increased activity by Iran on the ballistic level since the accord.feedback
This is what must be done. In one hour the content must be identified, analyzed and withdrawn to avoid it being broadcast widely. Experience shows that this is possible.feedback
According to me, what we have to do it is to keep the 2015 agreement because it was a good one with a strong monitoring of the current situation.feedback
If we don't stand up for those values, then all of us will be affected.feedback
There is nothing more effective than multilateralism in our current world because all our challenges are multilateral: war, terrorism, climate change, the digital economy.feedback
I cannot say whether my successor … in 70 years' time will have the privilege of speaking before you. Will multilateralism survive this time of doubt and change?feedback
Our challenges are global, and more than ever we need multilateralism. Walls don't protect us; what protects us is our joint willingness to change history. We are all linked.feedback
If we denounce the accord, do we better manage nuclear proliferation? I don't think so.feedback
I proposed that we initiate the work of a contact group at P5 level (Britain, China, Germany, France, Russia), which has been done and we will widen it to represent the political forces in Syria and the regional powers without Iran. The United Nations Secretary General and France will play the role of mediator for Iran so that we have a parallel negotiation, but that will enable us to include Iran in the process.feedback
Let's be honest, the tensions are on the rise, look at the activities of Hezbollah and Iran's pressure on Syria. We need a clear framework to be able to reassure regional countries and the United States.feedback
The process in Geneva has stopped and there is only the Astana process which will lead to tensions between the participants because it is a process that is a mechanical partition of Syria.feedback
Renouncing it would be a grave error, not respecting it would be irresponsible, because it is a good accord that is essential to peace at a time where the risk of an infernal conflagration cannot be excluded.feedback
The future of the world is that of our planet, which is on course to take vengeance on the foolishness of men. The planet will not negotiate with us.feedback
Jihadist terrorism has hit every continent, our fellow citizens from every religion…This fight against terrorism is a military one. It is also educational, cultural, and moral.feedback
The protection of refugees is a moral and political duty in which France has decided to play its role: In following the high commissioner [on refugees] wherever it is necessary. By opening legal resettlement channels for those closest to conflict zones, to Libya, Jordan, Turkey, and also to Niger and Chad. By defending the right the right to asylum and the absolute respect for the Geneva Conventions.feedback
It's the UN's job to protect the freedom of those who think, reflect, speak out, and particularly the freedom of the press. That's why I'm calling for a special representative of the secretary general for the protection of journalists in the world.feedback
We can only address those challenges through multilateralism, not through survival of the fittest.feedback
Our responsibility, with all our partners, including China and Russia, is to bring everyone to the negotiating table to find a political solution to the crisis. France will refuse any escalation, and will not close the door on dialogue if the conditions are met in order for dialogue to bring about peace.feedback
I will not budge on the Paris accord terms. I deplore the U.S. decision, and I continue dialogue with President Trump because I am convinced that in the end he will see that it is in the interest of Americans to be a part of the Paris climate pact.feedback
Remember the last one in 2005? It was crazy. Everyone was a super specialist of one article across the 350 and said, you know what, I will vote no because I have a problem with article 322' – it is a nightmare, but this is what we created.feedback
We are not here to adjust the model, we are here to transform it radically. Our labour regulation code … is long enough to be not fully understood by anyone. Workers were not really protected because if you don't know the law, you don't know your own protections and you cannot help to defend yourself.feedback
In the coming seven years we will prepare the Olympic Games with all our energy. Together we must do everything in our power to ensure that Paris hosts a magnificent games in 2024.feedback
Pylons have been knocked down. The damage is unprecedented.feedback
We will be extremely vigilant on this subject given what has happened, which is unacceptable.feedback
I don't want an identical reconstruction of St Martin. What has happened is also linked to the fact that the buildings were too precarious, that the supply of services (water, electricity, internet etc) was too fragile, that the planning of the housing was no longer suitable for the risk involved. And so what I want is to make St. Martin a model (for other such areas).feedback
This is unseen, and we cannot compare it to another known weather event in the last decades.feedback
Those who think we have the luxury to do nothing and remain seated are making a profound error.feedback
Given the meteorological and geographical constraints, we couldn't have been more prepared.feedback
I am fully determined and I won't cede any ground, not to slackers, nor cynics, nor hardliners. We cannot move forward if we don't tell it like it is.feedback
St. Martin will be reborn. I am committed.feedback
RFA Mounts Bay was pre-positioned there in July ahead of hurricane season. What that meant was that aid supplies, specially trained military personnel and a helicopter were in the Caribbean when Irma hit, and they could start getting to Anguilla as soon as the hurricane passed.feedback
However, the IMF is here and it's a very important institution, but I don't think it is within its remit to intervene in European issues.feedback
We stand side-by-side with those who, in our own country, a few thousand kilometres from here, are destitute, have lost everything, sometimes loved ones, and that we stand with their families who on mainland France as elsewhere are living in fear. The whole country stands with them and all public services are mobilised to come to their aid.feedback
All of France is grief-stricken by the many victims yesterday from the hurricane.feedback
Growth and recovery are returning.feedback
Today in Europe, sovereignty and democracy are under threat. We must not be scared, of this extreme ambition.feedback
The President of the Republic calls on the members of the United Nations Security Council to quickly react to this new violation by North Korea of international law. The international community must treat this new provocation with the utmost firmness, in order to bring North Korea to come back unconditionally to the path of dialogue and to proceed to the complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantling of its nuclear and ballistic program.feedback
My wish isn't for this to be easy, but for it to be effective. The reform of the labor market is a reform of deep transformation.feedback
The reform of the labor market is a reform of profound transformation.feedback
The principal victims of our impotence of the past 30 years faced with mass unemployment are the young and the less qualified.feedback
We are the only major economy in the European Union that has not defeated mass unemployment for more than three decades.feedback
We must all act together, from the source countries to Europe and passing through the transit countries, especially Libya, to be efficient. It's a challenge as much for the EU as for the African Union. It's with this in mind that we had this meeting.feedback
This is a revamp that we need. Brexit should not take up all our energy.feedback
Some groups of traffickers, who deal weapons and drugs also have links to terrorism, they have made the African desert and Mediterranean Sea a graveyard. These groups have deep ties to terrorism.feedback
France is not a reformable country. Many have tried and they have not succeeded because the French hate reform.feedback
Poland today is not a country that can show Europe the way, it's a country that has decided to go against European interests in many areas. Europe was built on public freedoms that Poland is infringing today. The country is placing itself on the margins of Europe's future history.feedback
In no way will the decision by a country that has decided to isolate itself in the workings of Europe jeopardize the finding of an ambitious compromise.feedback
Europe is a region created on the basis of values, a relationship with democracy and public freedoms which Poland is today in conflict with.feedback
Poland is not defining Europe's future today and nor will it define the Europe of tomorrow.feedback
It's a road full of obstacles for two seabirds like Anders (Bringdal) and me. If it's getting too complicated… we'll go where it's the easiest.feedback
The reality is that France is the only European economic power that hasn't won the war against mass unemployment.feedback
We stand beside those who fight racism and xenophobia. It is our common fight, in past and present.feedback
Paid by the Republic, no. Having a role, a real status, a real capacity to act, yes.feedback
I would like a defined framework and I will ask for the subject to be worked on. The person living with you should be able to have a role and be recognised for that role.feedback
Part of the solution to reducing migratory pressure on Europe is to reduce the very high population growth in many African countries.feedback
Most of those who are, dreadfully, called migrants today, are not all men and women demanding asylum, coming from countries where their lives are in danger. There are many, more and more, who come from peaceful countries, and are following the economic migration routes, who are financing the smugglers, the bandits, even terrorists, and in those cases we need to be strict, tough even, rigorous, with those coming by those routes. We can't welcome everybody.feedback
When you have countries where there are still seven to eight children per woman, you can decide to spend million of euros, nothing will be stabilized.feedback
We're an industrial power. We must guarantee the preservation of jobs.feedback
The first fight is to house everybody decently. Between now and the end of the year, I want no more men and women in the streets, in the woods, or lost. It's a question of dignity, it's a question of humanity, and of efficiency also.feedback
That was her freedom ... always rebellious against the established order.feedback
We could say about Jeanne Moreau that a part of cinema legend is gone. But her whole work was precisely about never freezing her art into a mythology, and never locking herself into the respectable status of the 'great actress.' She had in her eye a sparkle that deflected deference and inspired insolence, freedom, the turbulence of life that she liked so much and that she will long make us like.feedback
Those in danger must be welcomed.feedback
Committed with @GlblCtzn, @ClaraLionelFdn and @rihanna to #FundEducation. 264M children are out of school: let's take up this challenge!feedback
No country can take all the economic migrants.feedback
The idea is to create hotspots to avoid people taking crazy risks when they're not all eligible for asylum. We'll go to them.feedback
Civil war in Libya is not inevitable.feedback
The cause of peace has made great progress today.feedback
This process is essential for the whole of Europe, because if we don't succeed, the terror risk and the migratory consequences that such a failure would produce, would have direct consequences for our countries.feedback
There's probably nothing softer on earth than Trump's hand. He's never done a day of hard work in his life. It must feel like a little mink bag full of Jell-O.feedback
This increase in the budget, in a year where no other budget except the army's will see an increase, is unprecedented, and I want to you to understand how important this is.feedback
It is not dignified to hold certain debates in the public arena.feedback
I have made commitments, I am your boss.feedback
It is not dignified to air certain debates in the public sphere. I made commitments (to budget cuts). I am your boss.feedback
I know how to honour the commitments I make to our citizens. It is the chief of the defence staff who will change his position.feedback
We will yield nothing to the messages of hatred. We will yield nothing to anti-Zionism, because it is the reinvented form of anti-Semitism.feedback
I share Israeli concerns on the arming of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. We seek Lebanon's stability with due regard to all minorities.feedback
I reject the tone of those who pretend today that Vichy was not France. Vichy was definitely not all French people it was the government and the administration of France.feedback
I call for a resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians in the framework of the search for a solution of two states, Israel and Palestine, living in recognized, secure borders with Jerusalem as the capital.feedback
Everything should be done so that negotiations restart.feedback
Our countries are friends, so we should be too.feedback
Trump listened to me.feedback
It is convenient to see the Vichy regime as born of nothingness, returned to nothingness . Yes, it's convenient, but it is false. We cannot build pride upon a lie.feedback
The 14th of July 1789 was a day of fighting for freedom in France. But little by little over the years, it has become a day for partying and we have almost forgotten the reason for this fight. The attack on the 14th of July 2016 brutally reminded us of the price of our freedom.feedback
Nothing will ever separate us.feedback
You are always welcome.feedback
And that is why I wish to thank them, thank the United States for the choice it made 100 years ago.feedback
On the Iraq-Syria situation, we have agreed to continue working together, in particular on the building of a roadmap for the post-war period.feedback
I respect the wish to preserve jobs, I think that's compatible with the Paris accord. There is no sudden and unexpected change today, otherwise we would have announced it, but there is the shared intention to continue discussing these issues.feedback
I disagree with the way the Paris agreement and its importance is being interpreted [by the US]. We talked about this disagreement, as we should among leaders. Should this get in the way of the discussions on all other subjects? Definitely not, under no circumstances. We share common views and goals on many other subjects.feedback
July 14 in Nice will never be the same, and it will never, in a certain way, be the same in France.feedback
Nothing will ever separate us. Everything will be done for the Republic to regain your trust.feedback
All of us have a direct relationship with Russia. It is a necessity to work together. Tonight's dinner will be between friends.feedback
What I like is the sense of duty, the sense of discretion that has taken our army to where it is today. And what I sometimes find hard to tolerate in certain sectors, I tolerate it even less when it comes to our military.feedback
The French people have shown their impatience with a political world made up of sterile quarrels and hollow ambitions in which we have lived up until now. One last question, for an American journalist.feedback
He "will do everything to convince the cities, the states, American entrepreneurs to follow us. Americans will be a part of the Paris agreement, whether the government wants to or not.feedback
Today there are too many European standards and qualifications and sometimes there is competition among Europeans internationally. I can confirm this is a deep revolution but we are not afraid when they are carried out peacefully, in a structured way and over time.feedback
Should that have an impact on the discussions we're having on all other topics? No, absolutely not.feedback
I think it's always important not to interfere in others' domestic life.feedback
What our two countries share is stronger (than our differences), given our peoples and our histories and our values as well. So yes, there is a disagreement, like I said to President Trump, and then I said it publicly, because there is nothing to hide. That being said, it does not prevent us from cooperating in many fields.feedback
Our world has never been so divided.feedback
Olympic values are our values. They are threatened, called into question by many today, so it's the best moment to defend them. I decided from the very beginning of my mandate to back this project and give the maximum to promote this candidature.feedback
I am here to convey a message that the French people are ready. I would not be here if they were not ready.feedback
Paris is the first place for equity exchanges, first place for (the) asset management industry and Paris is the first (place) in intercontinental Europe for the banking industry.feedback
We lost three times, we don't want to lose a fourth one. I'm here to convey the message that there's a strong unity to back this candidacy.feedback
He's willing to steal ideas from both the left and the right to solve France's most challenging problems.feedback
It doesn't have to be by cyber retaliation, but it may be that is necessary at some time in the future. It may be sanctions and other measures, just to put down some red lines and say that this behavior is unacceptable.feedback
Mosul liberated from ISIL: France pays homage to all those, who alongside our troops, contributed to this victory.feedback
As president of the republic, I will do everything to ensure that we make the necessary arrangements to meet the requirements of this contract but, more broadly, to accompany you in this strategic partnership.feedback
It is not simply a contract.feedback
We need better coordination, more coordination. We need those organizations that were created out of the Second World War. Otherwise, we will be moving back toward narrow-minded nationalism.feedback
On Dec. 12, two years after the Paris (climate) agreement, I will therefore convene a summit to take further action on climate, notably on the financial front.feedback
He is making a mistake for the future of his country and his people, and a mistake for the future of the planet.feedback
You brought into our lives that light that burned within you and which nobody could ever take away.feedback
The building of Europe has been weakened by the spread of bureaucracy and by the growing scepticism that comes from it.feedback
The French people are not driven by patient curiosity, but by an uncompromising demand. It is a profound transformation that they expect.feedback
It is up to the president to outline the meaning of the five-year term…it's up to the prime minister to flesh it out.feedback
A smaller parliament, but strengthened in its means, is a parliament where work becomes more fluid, where parliamentarians can surround themselves with more trained and more numerous collaborators. It's a parliament that works better.feedback
I want all of those deep reforms that our institutions seriously need to be done within a year.feedback
Make Our Planet Great Again.feedback
We have never needed Europe more.feedback
It's about nothing less than reweaving, between French citizens and the republic, the relationship that has dissolved under the mechanical exercise of power. A contractual relationship. From efficiency, representativity and responsibility, I want the emergence of a contractual republic. Our democracy can only be nourished in action, and in our ability to change what is everyday, and real. It isn't five years of adjustments and half-measures that we have in front of us.feedback
And it is within each one of us that we must shut it up, day after day.feedback
Certainly, we've got to recognize the essential role of public service, and of our civil servants. But protecting the weakest doesn't mean transforming them into helpless minors. Every French person has a responsibility and a role to play in the conquests to come.feedback
These people are nothing. They are terrorists, thugs and assassins. And we will put all of our energies into eradicating them.feedback
We cannot hide behind words, and must take action.feedback
May her example inspire our fellow citizens, as the best of what France can achieve.feedback
May her example inspire our fellow countrymen, who will find in her the best of France.feedback
The relationship with the United States is a long-term one and it is deep. I believe we must continue an intense dialogue with the United States because of these ties which are historic and enduring.feedback
The United States has announced it wants to withdraw from the Paris accord while we are facing the challenge of migration, while the fight against terrorism is a challenge affecting all our societies and where free trade is challenged by several countries. Today, we must defend those things that are common to us all.feedback
My handshake with him wasn't innocent.feedback
I call on them: Come and work here with us – to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.feedback
In terms of the fight against terrorism, he has the same drive for efficiency that I do. I don't share some of his choices, above all on the climate issue.feedback
We already have two international [human rights] pacts ... The idea is to create a third, for a third generation of rights – environmental rights.feedback
As Jacques Delors said, for Europe we need a vision and a screwdriver. Unfortunately, we currently have a lot of screwdrivers but we are still lacking a vision.feedback
What did Brexit play on? On workers from eastern Europe who came to take British jobs. The defenders of the European Union lost because the British lower middle classes said: 'Stop!feedback
On the basis of this draft proposal, I pledge to act ...so that the work initiated continues, so that we reach a text, convince our partners, place these efforts under the aegis of the U.N ... and from September have the basis of a world environment pact.feedback
And now we deliver together to make the planet great again. Thank you.feedback
The partnership between France and Germany is the necessary condition for Europe to go forward. But it's not the only condition.feedback
There are issues where I'd like to advance together, the posted workers directive being one... I believe we need a profound reform of the balance. I will do it with respect for our partners.feedback
What's important is that we create successes. The risk is that in a few years, that doesn't happen. But that risk is really null.feedback
The conclusions that were adopted a few moments ago in defense are up to the job. We must consider the historic nature of this.feedback
The real update I have done on this subject.feedback
Europe is not a supermarket. Europe is a common destiny. It gets weaker when it allows its principles to be rejected. European countries that don't respect the rules have to draw all the political consequences.feedback
The real change I've made on this question is that I haven't said the deposing of Bashar al-Assad is a prerequisite for everything. My line is clear: One, a total fight against terrorist groups. They are our enemies ... We need the cooperation of everyone to eradicate them, particularly Russia. Two, stability in Syria, because I don't want a failed state.feedback
Because democracy was born in Europe. The US likes freedom as much as we do, but it doesn't have our love for justice. Europe is the only place in the world where individual freedoms, the spirit of democracy and social justice are so closely joined. So the question now is: Will Europe succeed in defending the deep values it brought to the world for decades, or will it be wiped out by the rise in illiberal democracies and authoritarian regimes?feedback
France is not a country that you reform, it's a country that you transform, a country of revolution. So as long as it's possible not to reform, France doesn't do it. This time, people saw they were at the edge of a precipice and they reacted.feedback
I respect Vladimir Putin. I had an constructive exchange with him. We have real disagreements, on Ukraine in particular, but he has seen my position. I talked to him at length face to face about international issues as wells as defending NGOs and liberties in his country.feedback
The question is to know how to restore the dynamic and bring people on board. It's not just about pressing policy onto countries or people; you have to be able to bring them along with you, make them dream.feedback
That's why I have asked the government to engage the fundamental reforms which are essential for France. Our credibility, our efficiency, our strength is on the line.feedback
I will speak to everyone with respect but I won't compromise on European principles – on solidarity or democratic values. If Europe were to accept that, it would mean it's weak and had already ceased to exist.feedback
Fears are still there and what divides societies is still there. There are no magic solutions, it's a combat for every day.feedback
The key to get going again is a Europe that protects.feedback
Anyone who thinks the fight against climate change is mere whim by middle-class liberals is deeply wrong.feedback
Democracy isn't built from the outside without the people. France didn't take part in the Iraq war and that was right. And France was wrong to take part in the war in Libya in the way it did. What was the result of those interventions? Failed states where terrorist groups prospered. I don't want that in Syria. Three: I have red lines on chemical weapons and humanitarian corridors. I said it very clearly to Vladimir Putin. I will be uncompromising on that. So the use of chemical weapons will be met with a response, and even if France acts alone.feedback
My election, and my majority in parliament are not the end of something: they are a challenging beginning. It's the start of a French renaissance, and I hope a European one.feedback
Everywhere in our societies, the lower middle classes have started to doubt. We have to create a Europe that protects with a real defence policy and common security.feedback
When you look at the planet today, what do you see? A rise in illiberal democracies, and extremes in Europe, a reappearance of authoritarian regimes that question the vitality of democracy, and the US in part withdrawing from the world. That context is worsened by a rise in uncertainty and troubles – crises are growing in the Middle East and the Gulf, inequalities are growing everywhere in the world.feedback
National egotisms are slow poisons that bring about the weakening of democracies and a collective inability to rise up to our historic challenge. I know the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is conscious of that.feedback
Yes. When you fix red-lines, if you don't know how to make sure they are respected, you're choosing to be weak. That's not my choice. If chemical weapons are used on the ground and we know how to find out their provencance, France will launch strikes to destroy the chemical weapons stocks.feedback
I want the discussions that have just started to be perfectly coordinated at a European level. I do not want bilateral discussions, because the interests of the EU must be preserved in the short, medium and long term.feedback
I want our cooperation to evolve. We absolutely must avoid creating new flashpoint migrant camps.feedback
I must tell you that I'm astonished to hear some commentators pretend or hope that we won't be able to have a majority.feedback
When an entrepreneur has too much success, he gets stigmatized and, in general, he gets taxed. This is over! I'm proud of you. Everywhere, women and men want to innovate. France is in the middle of becoming a nation of startups.feedback
We will drive through these transformation without delay. You do not wait, because your competitors do not wait.feedback
I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you.feedback
I want France to attract new entrepreneurs, new researchers, and be the nation for innovation and start-ups.feedback
The bet of the future for us is to carry on educating our talents, taking our students to the highest levels of academic success. We must defend our educational model, we must help our students go further.feedback
I want this country to become a country of unicorns.feedback
Entrepreneur is the new France.feedback
I am attached to a strict approach to Brexit: I respect the British vote but the worst thing would be a sort of weak EU vis-a-vis the British.feedback
Of course there is always the possibility to reopen the door.feedback
We have decided to go further on a concrete plan to reinforce the obligation of social media companies to remove content that promotes hate and terrorism online. Current measures are not enough. The door of course is still open as long as Brexit negotiations have not been concluded, but a sovereign decision to leave the EU has been taken and I respect that decision.feedback
The wind is only taking the papers away, nothing else.feedback
The decision (to exit the EU) has been taken by the sovereign British people. I do respect that.feedback
That's what the country wants and that's what it deserves.feedback
I won't let anything stand in my way. Our civilization is at stake.feedback
That absence, is the figure of the king.feedback
I am a warrior. I am a fighter. I have a willingness to act that is consuming me.feedback
As for me, I will be constantly vigilant on these issues, which are in keeping with our values.feedback
It's a heavy price that we have paid in these attacks.feedback
We have had the latest toll confirmed this morning, which is three people dead and eight injured on the French side.feedback
We are paying a heavy cost in these attacks.feedback
As far as French nationals are concerned, there have indeed been three fatalities and eight wounded. We are paying a heavy price in these attacks.feedback
France is more than ever at Britain's side.feedback
In the wake of this new tragedy, France more than ever stands side by side with the United Kingdom. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.feedback
Since you left, a lot of things have happened .feedback
This decision can't and won't stop all those of us who feel obliged to protect the planet. On the contrary. We in Germany, Europe and the world will combine our forces more resolutely than ever to address and successfully tackle challenges for humanity such as climate change.feedback
I do respect this decision but I do think it is an actual mistake, both for the U.S. and for our planet. I reaffirm clearly that the Paris agreement remains irreversible and will be implemented not just by France but by all the other nations. Because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility: Make our planet great again. France will put forward a concrete action plan to increase its attractiveness for researchers and companies in the ecological transition sector and will take initiatives notably in Europe and Africa on this subject.feedback
I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.feedback
If we do nothing, our children will know a world of migrations, of wars, of shortage.feedback
To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say that they will find in France a second home.feedback
Tonight the United States has turned its back on the world, but France will not turn its back on Americans.feedback
Tonight I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. We all share the same responsibility: [to] make our planet great again.feedback
I tell you firmly tonight: We will not renegotiate a less ambitious accord. There is no way. Don't be mistaken on climate; there is no plan B because there is no planet B.feedback
Donald Trump, the President of Turkey or the President of Russia are of a mindset of power relations, which doesn't bother me. I don't let anything go. That's how one makes oneself respected.feedback
I have always had an exemplary relationship with foreign journalists, but they have to be journalists. Russia Today and Sputnik were agents of influence and propaganda that spread falsehoods about me and my campaign.feedback
Failed states in that region of the world are a threat to our democracies and as we've seen in every case they have led to the growth of terrorist groups.feedback
It is essential to discuss with all parties present, in fact with all stakeholders in the Syrian conflict including the representatives of Mr. Bashir al-Assad.feedback
During the campaign, Russia Today and Sputnik were agents of influence which on several occasions spread fake news about me personally and my campaign. They behaved like organs of influence, of propaganda and of lying propaganda.feedback
It's indispensable to talk to Russia because there are a number of international subjects that will not be resolved without a tough dialogue with them. I will be demanding in my exchanges with Russia.feedback
I want us to organize a democratic transition but also preserve a Syrian state.feedback
When press outlets spread defamatory untruths, they are no longer journalists, they are organs of influence. Russia Today and Sputnik were organs of influence during this campaign, which, on several occasions produced untruths about me and my campaign. I will not give an inch on this. Russia Today and Sputnik ... behaved as organs of influence, of propaganda, of lying propaganda. Big things are built over time. It was an exchange that was extremely frank, direct, with a lot of things that were said. We have disagreements, but at least we talked about them.feedback
We must talk to Russia to change the framework for getting out of the military crisis in Syria and to build a much more collective and integrated inclusive political solution.feedback
It was serious that these foreign press organs–under whatever influence there may have been, I don't know–interfered by reporting serious falsehoods in a democratic campaign. I will give no ground at all to that.feedback
The use of chemical weapons by anyone will be the object of reprisals and immediate retaliation on the part of France. When press organs sow defamatory untruths, they are no longer journalists. They are organs of influence. Russia Today and Sputnik have been organs of influence during this campaign, which on many occasions produced untruths about me and my campaign and so I determined that they had no place, I confirm it, in my headquarters. As for me, I will be constantly vigilant on these issues, which are in keeping with our values.feedback
My handshake with him, it wasn't innocent. It is not the alpha and the omega of a policy but a moment of truth. One must show that you won't make small concessions, even symbolic ones, but also not over-publicize things, either.feedback
The debate during this G7 allowed us to advance, very clearly, in the struggle against terrorism. France has been hit in the last few years by terrorism as I will remind you the United Kingdom and Egypt in these past few days. The discussion was extremely rich on this subject and it allowed for the first time to sign a document resulting in a common commitment to fight terrorism on various fronts.feedback
It is essential for international equilibrium and the reputation of America that it remains engaged with the Paris treaty. The G7 had shown issues such as climate change are not side issues that can be left to others. Trump was a good listener, a pragmatic guy and open to debate.feedback
Alongside this France that reforms, that transforms, that overhauls, we need a Europe that protects. When someone works in one country, for the same job, he must be paid the same salary.feedback
We have to work together, we have to be more ambitious.feedback
We discussed all subjects with President Trump. We had a long discussion, which was very frank. In the center of the discussion was pragamtism. We don't necessarily interpret things in the same way, but we were able to speak very frankly. It's not for me to make any physiologic comments. I met an effective and open partner. Europe has to be more ambitious, in the euro area in particular.feedback
Beyond solidarity, it's obviously European cooperation that we need to reinforce, in the field of intelligence, information sharing, the protection of our common borders.feedback
I respect the fact he placed under review the Paris agreement. My wish is that there should be no rushed decision from the United States of America.feedback
I'm very happy to be able to change many things together.feedback

12-year old killed while skiing on Duluth area mountain
The 12-year-old boy who died from injuries suffered when he hit a tree while skiing at Spirit Mountain on Friday afternoon has been identified as Trent Stellrecht.
The Grantsburg, Wis., youth was one of 12 children on a ski trip organized by the Living Hope Church near Grantsburg.
"He was a great boy, very busy, very active. ... He liked the outdoors and was always helping his father," said Chris Radtke, the church's youth director.
Radtke said Trent had been on the beginner hill most of the day and then apparently went off on his own to a more challenging hill. The boy apparently was unable to make a turn and skied into an area of trees, where he struck a tree at high speed, Radtke said. Conditions are icy on ski hills after last week's record-high temperatures melted snow that then re-froze.
"I don't know why he was on that hill," Radtke said. "Apparently he thought he was getting good enough. You know how 12-year-old boys are. Everybody was warned that it was going to be fast because of the conditions."
Ski Patrol members found Stellrecht lying on the ground not breathing. Efforts on the hill and at Essentia Health St. Mary's Medical Center failed to revive him.
Funeral services for Trent, the son of Terri and Rob Stellrecht, will be Thursday at the First Baptist Church in Webster, according to an obituary placed in the News Tribune.
Trent's is the first death at Spirit Mountain since 2007, when a Richfield, Minn., man died from injuries suffered on the hill.

Symphony Under the Stars to offer better access, ice cream and "Pirates."
The annual Mother's Day Symphony Under the Stars is moving again this year — not from the Ocala Golf Club on East Silver Springs Boulevard, but to another site at the scenic city golf course.
As per a site map on the Fine Arts For Ocala website, the venue for this 42nd annual Mother's Day social will be behind the golf course club house — with entrances to the grounds at the club house, behind Golf View Plaza and by a pond on the back side of the course.
The gates open at 6 p.m. Sunday, with Ocala Symphony Orchestra's musical program beginning an hour later. Tickets are $5 to $20 at the gates. Food, beverages and ice cream will be available for purchase.
Perhaps half of the 3,000-plus folks who've attended this event over the years bring their own food and drinks.
Repositioning the orchestra and venue is a good move, said Donna DiSclafani, president of FAFO.
"We'll have more of the walkways right up to where you go off to your picnic," she said. "It'll be easier for people who have trouble with access" and may need to hitch a ride on one of the golf carts shuttling patrons to and from parking areas.
And the Ocala Symphony Orchestra, again presenting this annual open-air concert, likes it, too; at least Conductor Matt Wardell does.
"Usually we're set up so far away from where the audience is," he said.
In recent years, the orchestra has been positioned in different spots on the eastern edge of the golf course, though usually the large pond near Southeast 36th Avenue separates the orchestra from guests.
"We're playing under this tent, and we can't even really hear what's going out over the speakers because they're out by the audience," he added. "So we're in our own little world."
This year, Wardell requested the symphony be placed closer to the audience, and FAFO agreed.
"It's an easier location to get to and get out," he said. "And the audience will feel more connected, especially the kids. They want to see the instruments, see what's going on."
Symphony Under the Stars is one of Marion County's largest community picnics; thousands turn out for an evening of dining on picnic meals, greeting old friends, sipping wine and savoring the symphony as the evening sky slips into a star-filled tapestry overhead.
Then they launch the fireworks.
Most years, the concert presents a playlist of music tied to a specific theme, such as "Star Wars" or "Broadway's Greatest Hits" or even a tribute to the Beatles or John Williams. The theme this year is, Wardell said, no theme.
"I was given more freedom to put something together that people will enjoy," he added.
At a joint gathering of the FAFO and OSO boards several weeks ago, they selected a playlist of longer pieces from the pops world, including selections from "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Wicked," "Harry Potter" and "Back to the Future."
"The music of 'Back to the Future' is one of my favorite scores," Wardell said.
OSO is thrilled, said Board President Cindy Van Heyde, to continue its long association with FAFO on this community concert — FAFO's primary fundraiser event of the year.
"It's just a beautiful event," she said. "And even if people don't come out to our concerts, almost every single person I've talked to said they come out for this Mother's Day event."
DiSclafani agreed: "You get to hear great music, bring your own food if you like, see so many people you haven't seen in a while or even since last year," she said. "It's a very social event, and that makes it a great community event."

A water main break buckled a street in La Jolla early Friday and sent water gushing down the roadway.
The break was reported at 5:18 a.m. on Country Club Drive near Mimulus Way, San Diego police said. The water was shut off about 6:50 a.m. About 20 customers in the area are without service, city water department spokesman Arian Collins said.
Repairs to the 8-inch line are expected to take until about 4 p.m. The street was shut down, police said.
In a separate incident about 8 a.m., a 12-inch main broke on 54th Place, off 54th Street near Trojan Avenue in the El Cerrito neighborhood of east San Diego. Water service is out for about 36 customers, Collins said. Repairs were expected to be completed by 9 p.m.
