During the month of March the Williams Lake RCMP has teamed up with local media to heighten awareness around scams. Traditionally March is Fraud Prevention Month and due to the growing popularity of social media, scams are increasing rapidly, says Inspector Warren Brown. Each week the media has focused on two or three scams from a list of the top ten provided by the Better Business Bureau. In a colourful brochure featuring the scams there’s a sketch of the human brain which the BBB uses to suggest there is a psychology of scams. “They appeal to trust and authority, exploit basic human desires, personalized offers appears legitimate, induction by way of making small commitments, belief that large award justifies fees, lack of emotional control, increased hostility and guilt, and opening for re-

victimization.” Today’s focus is on computer virus fixing schemes and twisted text prizes. Inspector Warren Brown says many complaints have come into the RCMP about computer virus fixing schemes. “There’s one out there that pops up on the computer screens with an RCMP logo telling customers if they send in $100 the virus can be removed,” Brown said. “We don’t fix the public’s computers. That is a scam.” The Better Business Bureau advises people not to click on pop-up advertisement offering anti-virus services. In other incidents people might receive a phone call with a warning their computer has been infected with a virus. The caller will offer to fix the computer. What’s really happening is the scammer is trying to gain remote

access to your computer and gain credit card information, the BBB warned. The scammer will say they need remote access to provide the supposed services and will ask for computer passwords and related information. “If you receive an unsolicited call offering anti-virus services, requesting access to your computer or asking for credit card information, hang up,” the BBB advised. “Never give an unsolicited caller access to your computer and always buy antivirus software from a legitimate vendor you trust.” Twisted text prizes will alert the recipient that they’ve won a major retailer’s gift card. To claim it the person needs to go to a website and enter a PIN to receive the card. If the PIN and an email address are entered, then a form will appear asking you to fill in your name, cell number, and mailing address.

The form will also ask a random question maybe about returning to school or if you are a diabetic. “When you reach the page to claim your gift card you will find you are directed to another site to apply for a credit card,” the BBB explained. “In the end, you never receive a credit card and you have given out personal information.” It is also important to ignore instructions to text “STOP” or “NO” to prevent future texts. This is a common trick by scammers to confirm they have a real, active phone number. These types of texts can be forwarded to 7726(SPAM). By forwarding the scam the cellphone carrier is alerted to block future texts from those specific numbers. “If you think your text message is real, be sure it’s directing to a web address and not just a seemingly similar website name,” the BBB said.

awesome! If you call today.

NEWS The raw truth about Ruth

As I mentioned in a column a few weeks back Ruth Stout was known as the “Queen of Mulch.” She pioneered the no-till garden method and was piling hay onto trampled down weeds long before anyone coined the term “lasagna gardening”. I first stumbled across a copy of “The Ruth Stout No-Work Garden Book; Secrets of the Famous Year Round Mulch Method” in the late eighties. Despite the subtitle and the fact the book was written in 1971— almost twenty years before I first picked it up and twenty years after Ruth started promoting her method in the pages of Organic Gardening and Farming—the mulch method was still far from famous; at least not in our area. My first forays into

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

covering my vegetable bed with a layer of mulch led to a lot of attention and not a little criticism. One person even exclaimed, “Why do you have garbage all over your garden?” She made it sound like I had covered the carrots with a layer of pop cans and chip bags instead of rotted hay. Even after I explained the situation, it was clear she wasn’t impressed. “That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard,” she said, not being the

sort to mince words. “You’re just inviting mice and slugs and goodness knows what else. You need to get all that off of there.” Today it’s hard to believe something that makes so much sense was ever viewed with so much suspicion and even outright derision. When Ruth started using mulch she wasn’t trying to change the face of gardening. She just wanted to get planting. Every spring she would hire someone from the neighbourhood to plow and harrow her vegetable garden in preparation for planting. And every spring it seemed everyone’s tractor was either broken down or loaned out. So she would wait. And wait. And then one year everything changed when, as Ruth writes, “I simply

used my head. No, not for plowing-for reasoning. My asparagus was doing beautifully, and I said to myself: that ground hasn’t been plowed for ten years; what has asparagus got that peas haven’t? To heck with plowing! I’m going to plant.” I was later intrigued to read a passage in one of her books that revealed Ruth was not only a pioneer of the mulch movement, but was experimenting with the raw food diet long before it became a trend. Here’s what she wrote back in 1971: The bright thought came to me one day, many years ago, that if everybody ate his food raw, kitchens could be dispensed with, there would be a big saving in time and labor; also, people could not only discard their stoves,

but wouldn’t have to buy pots, pans and all that sort of thing. So, for about a year I ate only raw food and I probably couldn’t have done it more unscientifically. At that time my sister was doing the shopping and cooking for our family, and I told her of my project, but added that she mustn’t ever buy any special food for me-that is, something just because it could be eaten raw. I told her my whole idea was to prove how much simpler life would be if no cooking had to be done, and that she mustn’t have my diet on her mind at all. She took me at my word and the result was that sometimes there was nothing more enticing for me to eat than, say, a raw beet. When I was asked

to a friend’s home for a meal, I would take perhaps a banana and carrot with me, and I carried my lunch to work each day, usually settling for raisins and whole wheat. My point is that for a year I paid no attention to a balanced diet and my health remained intact. Moreover, as far as I can remember, I neither gained nor lost weight. This doesn’t prove, of course, that a raw-food diet is beneficial, but is, I should think, an indication that it isn’t harmful About flavor; could anything be more fatuous than to try to persuade someone that this or that food has a good taste if he thinks it hasn’t? However, I have heard more than one person say that he doesn’t like a certain food, and then

it comes to light that he has never tasted it. Therefore, may I suggest that before you turn up your nose at the idea of eating, say, a raw potato, you try one? What I love about Ruth is her no nonsense approach. In her writings she seems almost irritated she has to keep explaining something so simple. Her mulch method was simply to mulch. Her raw food venture was simply to eat raw food. No fancy recipes or expensive gizmos or gadgets; just straight forward pick and eat. If you’re looking for a simpler life, a lot can be learned from a woman like that. Shannon McKinnon is a syndicated humour columnist from Northern BC.

Speaking of pregnancy, it is well-known that women who plan to get pregnant should start taking a vitamin supplement containing folic acid (at least 0.4mg daily). This product will prevent neural tube defects in the brain and spinal cord. It has been suggested that all sexuallyactive women take folic acid in case of an unplanned pregnancy.

Some eye drops have to be shaken before each use to get the proper dose. When instilling drops, pull the lower eyelid down forming a small pouch. After instilling the drop into that pouch, gently close the eyes for 30 seconds while pressing the bridge of the nose so the drop doesn’t move out of the eye through the tear duct.

Start an RESP to get $1,200 Training and Education Grant

With new regulations now in place, families are reminded that they need to open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to access the new $1,200 BC Training and Education Savings Grant. “If parents already have an RESP set up, they’ve already taken the most important step to get the $1,200 savings grant. In particular, families with children born in 2007 need to know they must create an RESP within the next year - so they should act now and not delay,” education minister Don McRae said in a press re-

lease. All B.C. children with an RESP and born on or after Jan. 1, 2007, are entitled to receive the BC Training and Education Savings Grant. To access the grant, families must open an RESP before the child turns seven years old (or by Feb. 28, 2014, for children born in January or February 2007). No matching or additional contributions are required. Many financial institutions do not charge fees to open an RESP nor require minimum contributions and balances, so it costs nothing to access

the BC Training and Education Savings Grant and start saving for the future. In addition to $1,200 from the Province of British Columbia, families can also access similar RESP savings grants from the Government of Canada. Invested in an RESP, the $1,200 grant will grow over time, making it easier for B.C.’s children to pursue the careers of their choice. Having an RESP in place also makes it easier for grandparents and other family members to help the child save money for the future.

The Cariboo-Chilcotin’s best kept secrets and resources are its people and their talents. It was with great honour and pleasure that I watched Mary Forbes and Dave Dickson of Williams Lake receive their First Nation’s designed medals for B.C. Achievement at the beautiful Government House overlooking the ocean at Rockland Avenue in Victoria, March 14. Friends, family, dignitaries, teachers, had all gathered there to witness the 32 recipients of the awards. Recipients were of all ages, from high school students to a lady in her ninth decade, and from all religions, cultures, ethnic backgrounds. Recipients came from Williams Lake, Dease Lake, Prince George, Fruitvale, Lady Smith, Salt Spring Island to name a few. Awards were presented for people working in many different areas of community service from helping the National Institute for the Blind, autism, heritage, theatre, First Nations, language, KidSport, children’s cancer volunteers,

“Cook with Caution”

Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.

iF You haVE a CookinG FiRE...

Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave. If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out. Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled. For an oven fire turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

Both parties have betrayed us

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

There was some public business conducted in the final frantic days of the B.C. legislature session last week, but you likely wouldn’t have heard much about it. Premier Christy Clark’s skimpy governing agenda was overshadowed by the delivery of an internal investigation report into her government’s ethnic outreach program. A review by four deputy ministers detailed what reporters already knew from a memo and meeting notes leaked to the NDP. The plan started in the premier’s office, led by Clark’s deputy chief of staff, who resigned as soon as it was made public. A B.C. Liberal Party employee attended the first meeting, expressly intended to organize events to impress immigrant communities, then harvest the goodwill in the form of contact lists for the coming election campaign. After 10,000 e-mails were collected and 27 interviews conducted, they revealed a few significant details. Former multiculturalism minister John Yap knew or should have known that the scheme was being kept secret because it was an inappropriate use of government resources. He won’t be back in cabinet, although Clark said he intends to run for re-election

in Richmond-Steveston. Yap’s executive assistant resigned when the report came out, admitting he helped cover the tracks of political meddling in the hiring of three outreach contractors with sufficient loyalty to the party. Clark insists she knew nothing of this plan. She tabled the investigation report, and then announced that the B.C. Liberal Party had written a $70,000 cheque to the government to cover the estimated cost of the inappropriate political work done by non-political staff. Here’s the part taxpayers

may not fully appreciate. There are authorized political staffers all over the legislature, in the premier’s office, the opposition leader’s office and two teams of caucus employees who spend much of their time digging up dirt on the other party. All are paid by you and me. A line is crossed only when a non-political employee such as a ministry communications director acts on behalf of the party. The main offender in that capacity was one Brian Bonney, whose records suggested he spent half of his time

on party work. He quit in February, before the plan was leaked, and the party paid back half of his salary for the 18 months he was on the public payroll. NDP outrage over this was blunted by another leaked document. This one was from a never-released 2010 report by Auditor General John Doyle, which condemned a five-year program of skimming money from NDP constituency office budgets all over the province and using it for political work. In a nice bit of symmetry, much of the more than

$400,000 was spent to put three-time candidate Gabriel Yiu on the NDP caucus payroll. Yiu’s VancouverFraserview candidate page boasts of his ethnic outreach work, which included tirelessly warning B.C.’s Chinese community about the evils of the harmonized sales tax. In fact, it was the NDPYiu operation that inspired a B.C. Liberal copycat plan. The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blindingly obvious, which is that constituency funds are to serve constituents and are

not to be diverted to political organizing. It was kept under wraps by the secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. This is the B.C. LiberalNDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other questionable payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light. Both of these schemes have the same stink. Both are intentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the political gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them.

Barley helps to lower cholesterol levels

Barley is finally getting the recognition it deserves with a new consumer website—www.GoBarley. com—a one-stop-shop for everything barley, says the Alberta Barley Commission. The website features over 60 brand new recipes from mains dishes to desserts, as well as a series of barley “how to videos” and multiple blog posts from nutritionists and foodies. Aimed at showing consumers just how versatile barley can be in our day to day cooking and baking, the website is part of a new market development initiative of the Alberta Barley Com-

mission (ABC)—a grassroots, farmer-run organization for barley producers. “We’re excited about the new site and we think it does a great job of sharing barley’s health benefits with consumers,” said ABC chairman Matt Sawyer, a farmer near Acme, AB. “We believe there is great potential to grow the food barley market and increase consumer awareness and demand for this healthy grain.” Canada’s third largest crop, barley received approval from Health Canada for a new food claim which concluded that daily consumption of barley

helps to reduce blood cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease. To help spread the word about the barley health claim as well as the new GoBarley.com website, the Commission has sent Market Development Manager Linda Whitworth on a cross-Canada barley blitz. “Everywhere I go, people are excited to talk about barley,” said Whitworth. “Barley is delicious and good for you. It’s versatile and lends itself well to all types of dishes. Plus, it doesn’t get much more local and healthy than barley.” Barley is low on the glycemic index and packed full of fibre

that will help keep people feeling fuller, longer. You can cook pot or pearl barley in water or broth and add it to soup or salads— or substitute it in any dish where you would normally use rice or pasta. Barley flour has a rich, nutty-flavour and can contain more than three times the dietary fibre of enriched all-purpose flour. It can be found at bulk food stores, health stores and major grocery stores. Gobarley.com also features partnerships with Canadian bloggers covering the others uses of barley such as malt barley used to produce beer. These blogs introduce con-

sumers to Alberta’s craft brewers and breweries as well as helpful tips for pairing food and beer. The Alberta Barley Commission, Canada’s only barley commission, is a notfor-profit organization directed, funded and controlled by the province’s 11,000plus barley farmers. The Commission co-ordinates and sponsors research, market development, technology transfer and policy development on behalf of its producers.

Top Seven Reasons to have a Destination Wedding 1. The Combo - Having a destination wedding can combine a family / Friends reunion, romantic travel and your big event all in one, which makes it something special for everyone. 2. The Guest List - Invite family / friends and acquaintances. A destination wedding may be the best option for everyone you know. Ensuring that your wedding ceremony is witnessed by those who truly mean the most to you. 3. Your Dream Wedding at Your Dream Price - A destination wedding can prove to be more cost effective then a traditional wedding. (All in-one) Wedding / Honemoon / Vacation / Reunion. 4. Control Freak, NOT! – Too many times brides find themselves losing sleep over how many roses will be in their bouquet or if the minister will pronounce their names correctly. Yes, weddings can create anxiety, but when you decide to have a destination wedding, you are likely going to relinquish most of the control to the professionals (ALL-WAYS Travel wedding agent). Therefore, when W-Day comes, you’ll be thinking more about the important things –spending time with your friends, loved ones and new spouse rather than the little details no one else will even notice. 5. The Ice Breaker - With you and all of your guests spending time in such close proximity and away from home, it creates a much more intimate setting. It gives you plenty of quality time with loved ones, and most importantly the opportunity for the most important people in your newly joined family to bond and really get to know each other. 6. Leave Home, Must Travel - Since so many families are spread out all around the world, most guests are required to travel to attend the wedding anyway. It could be logistically easier to select a destination wedding. 7. Break The Wedding Mold - A wedding away from home allows for more creativity with venues, cuisine, activities and attire. You can even opt to adopt some local wedding traditions of the destination to make the event even more unique. Written by ALL-WAYS Travel Destination Wedding Agent, Rima Lachapelle

The dirt on organic produce: A busy student’s guide to healthy eating Every year in March, dieticians promote and celebrate Nutrition Month. The theme this year is eating healthy by planning, shopping, cooking and enjoying meals. As a dietitianin-training, I know the importance of being organized and having meals planned out. However, as a busy student, sometimes I find it challenging to practice what I preach. It is stressful to come home after a long day and then figure out what I can eat for dinner and whether it will be healthy and affordable on a tight student budget! Planning ahead can make things a lot less stressful and it doesn’t have to mean a lot of extra work. The Healthy Families BC website has a meal planning sheet that I use to plan out my meals and create my shopping list for the week. Once I have my list

in hand, I go shopping, but I make sure I do not go grocery shopping hungry. I have a snack beforehand so I will not be tempted to stray from my list and buy foods that I do not need. When I go shopping I try to buy most of my food from the perimeter of the store. This way I spend my time looking at the four food groups of Canada’s Food Guide and fill my basket with fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and alternatives and whole grains. Sticking to my budget is important. To save money I use coupons and weekly sales flyers to plan meals and I visit the bulk section of the grocery store so I can explore and try small amounts of ingredients without buying entire packages that I may not use up. I also find it easier to stick to my budget if I use cash to pay for my

groceries. After shopping comes the cooking and preparation of my meals for the week. When I find I am eating the same few dishes over and over again, I look for new recipes to try. The Dietitians of Canada website has

Report calls Kitimat refinery viable Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has released its own independent report on a proposed heavy oil refinery near Kitimat, which concludes that the project has “economic merit.” The report, by California-based Navigant Consulting Inc., examined the proposed refinery design and also assessed markets for refined fuels in Asia. “Such a refinery

would provide incremental long-term benefits to the region, compared to export of unfinished feedstock,” the report states. The consultants recommend that B.C. approve a design for the plant that produces a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The report endorses a conventional design for the refinery, proposed by Victoria newspaper publisher David Black last summer.

Black, owner of Black Press Ltd., established a separate company called Kitimat Clean Ltd last year. In early March he announced that he is finalizing details for $25 billion in financing and purchase agreements for the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that the plant would produce. According to Black’s plans, the $16 billion refinery would require another $9 billion in construction, including six product pipelines

to Douglas Channel to load ships with refined fuel, and a natural gas pipeline to run a power plant, fire refining equipment and supply hydrogen for a new heavy oil refining process. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the Navigant report cost $40,000, and would be done by the province for any proposal of this scale, through the province’s major projects office. If built as planned, the Kitimat refinery would be the biggest private investment in B.C. history. The Navigant report describes a conventional coking process that extracts a coal-like byproduct from heavy oil. Black announced March 6 that his team is revising its environmental permit application to use a new process that would convert the coke and increase liquid fuel output. A conventional refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically sold as fuel for high-temperature metal processing. A process patented last year by Calgarybased Expander Energy adapts a technique developed a century ago in Germany to convert coal to synthetic fuels.

City works to conserve and deliver water Engleberts said during a tour of the city’s water system. “The glacial till is a fairly porous layer that doesn’t allow water to flow through. There’s a slim chance of water becoming contaminated because the wells are so deep.” It will travel through 117 kilometres of water main and 110 kilometres of sewer and sanitation networks, all buried two metres beneath the roads to insulate against freezing. There are also 60 kilometres of storm and sewer lines that have to be maintained, along with 500 fire hydrants. Twice a year city crews flush the water mains at different zones, plus all components have life spans. “We also try and be at least one year ahead of the pavement management program so we’re not digging up new roads. We’ve done South Lakeside already and will do Pigeon, Western and 11th Avenue.” There’s a one per cent replacement rule in water and sewer planning, he said. “We have nine reservoirs in four separate zones,” Engleberts said. The city’s water staff consists of six full-time and two seasonal employees tasked with water treatment and distribution

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Today, on World Water Day people in Williams Lake will use eight million litres of water. That represents the average daily consumption of water at this time of year in the lakecity. In the summer months the amount quadruples to 32 million litres a day, resulting in a total use of 4.5 billion gallons annually. The good news is that’s a 20 per cent reduction since 2006. The water originates from four 70-metre deep wells on Scout Island, and one further down on Duncan Road. Wells on Scout Island were punched out in 1969, the well at Duncan Road in 2004. Prior to that, a former building site at Duncan Road pumped drinking water from Williams Lake, but when the rules changed by the 1980s it was no longer a healthy option. Before Duncan Road, the city’s drinking water came from the Williams Lake River below the Station House Gallery. “The nice thing about the wells we have now is they are so deep. The aquifer is about 100 feet down and below a thick layer of glacial till,” City of Williams Lake manager of sewer and water Joe

“Brains” of the city water service. and waste water collection and treatment. Because every water system is unique, it’s nice to have experienced staff, Engleberts said, adding some of his employees have been there for more than 30 years, others more than 20. “They know the quirks of our water system. It gets into a rhythm that in some cases is day to day, month to month, or even year to year.” Take the summer months for example, he explained. People are running air conditioners and cooling systems or watering gardens and lawns. “We have restrictions because the use quadruples, not because the water itself is at a low level. When the daily demand increases so intensely, the

movement of water itself through the system intensifies.” And often the water has to travel from Scout Island through a few stations to meet that demand. Each zone has an associated station. Each station has pumps to gather water from reservoirs and send it to where its needed. At the stations water is tested daily for chloroform and e-coli. Four samples taken are sent to an independent lab weekly, monthly, semiannually and yearly, and the parameters increase, testing for things like ar-

senic or zinc. The sampling results are available for the public to view on the city’s website, along with the annual water report, Engleberts noted. “We’ve never had a boil water advisory,” he added. A Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computer program has been in place at the city for 15 years. The system will contact the on-call employee at home if there’s a problem. “They can access it remotely from home so they don’t have to come down to station but go

right to the field where the problem is. The computer program is the communicator, transferring information from a system that acts like its own brain.” Even if the computers go down, the “brain” system will continue working so that everything’s not relying on one system. The system is also totally self-sufficient, communicating through a radio system that’s been working really well for everyone. Aside from immediate information, the computer system stores historical data. It helps determine trends, Engleberts said.

Eventually the city’s SCADA system will be available to the public and citizens will be able to take virtual tours on their home computers. When asked about the future of the city’s water supply Engleberts expressed confidence the demand can be maintained for 30 to 40 years. “We are looking at the future of our system and sources, the San Jose watershed, the aquifer and its lifespan. We aren’t going to run out tomorrow but it’s important to be looking well into the future,” he explained, no pun intended.

Supreme Court rules on Metis land dispute “As the National Chief for the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples that represents over 600,000 off-reserve, non-status and status Indians, Southern Inuit and Métis Peoples living in urban, rural remote and isolated areas throughout Canada, I am pleased to see that the Supreme Court has upheld S.31 and S.32 of the Manitoba Act,” stated Congress of Aboriginal Peoples National Chief, Betty Ann Lavallée, CD, (Ret’d) and National Vice-Chief Ron Swain in a statement issued March 8. The landmark case, centres on a 30 yearold legal challenge brought forward by the Manitoba Métis Federation over farm land promised to Métis children as part of the Red River Settlement

Friday, March 22, 2013 Williams Lake Weekend

of 1870. The dispute dates back to when the Crown vowed to set aside about 1.4 million acres of land and recognized existing Métis land-holdings. “This had gone on for far too long,” added National Vice-Chief, Ron Swain. “Since the time of Confederation, promises were made and never kept. Now is the time, to sit down at a Treaty Table with the Crown, and negotiate the issues that affect the Métis Peoples throughout Canada.” Crown lawyers had argued the case should be thrown out of court because of how old it is. “This case, together with the Landmark Harry Daniels Federal Court Ruling, which granted recognition to Métis and non-Status Indians under Section

35 of the Constitution, illustrates the judicial system’s willingness to correct historical wrongs,” concluded National Chief Betty Ann Lavallée. “Today is another significant step forward for Aboriginal Peoples throughout Canada.” Since 1971, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (Formerly known as the Native Council of Canada) has been the National Representative Organization and the National Voice for the constituency and their affiliate organizations making up the Congress’ family of advocates for the Off-Reserve, Non-Status and Status Indians, Southern Inuit and Métis Aboriginal Peoples living in urban, rural remote and isolated areas throughout Canada.

A major overhaul of B.C.’s family law is now in force, aimed at reducing disputes over shared parenting responsibilities and division of property when couples split up. The Family Law Act was passed in 2011 with support from both the B.C. Liberal government and the NDP opposition. It took effect March 18. One of the main changes is extending property division rules of marriage to unmarried couples who have lived together in a “marriage-like relationship” for at least two years. Those rules mean property acquired during a relationship is divided equally, unless the couple sign an agreement to split assets differently. Debts accumulated during the relationship must also be shared, including mortgages, loans from family members, credit card and income tax debt. As with a divorce, inheritances and property brought into the relationship by each partner are not shared. Attorney General Shirley Bond introduced the changes as a way to keep family breakups out of court, and to take the “winlose” terminology out of parenting. The traditional terms, “custody” and “access” of children, have been dropped from the

REALTOR TIPS The advantages of choosing a Real Estate Chain to help you sell or purchase your home A real estate chain offers name recognition, sometimes better advertising support, standard forms and continuity. Chains offer at least a minimal standard of performance and acceptance, and in general agents tend to be well trained. When you list your home with a chain in one city, you can link another agent in the new city from the same chain. For instance, Sutton has a Referral Directory that supplies contact information for all Sutton offices and associates across Canada. The true value of the real estate chain is in the degree of order, homogeneity, and professionalism.

Family Law Act, replaced by “parental responsibilities,” “parenting time” and “guardianship.” The new act also makes it an offence for one parent to violate an agreed schedule for shared parenting. The law also requires parents who wish to relocate to give 60 days’ notice

to those authorized to have contact with children. That applies whether the children are involved in the relocation or not. When the changes were debated in the legislature, NDP justice critic Leonard Krog spoke in support, noting that B.C. has one of the highest levels of fam-

ily disputes in Canada. “If we can keep people out of court, if we can let them settle their affairs in a more friendly and amicable way, then this is all to the good,” Krog said. “It means that people can get on with their lives. It will mean less emotional damage to children.”

ATTRACTIVE THREE BEDROOM HOME This attractive two- or three-bedroom home, designed for a lot that slopes to the back, would make the ideal residence for either a young family starting out or an empty-nester couple. The covered entry, providing protection from the elements in inclement weather, leads into the foyer, where a railing runs along the stairs down to the basement. A coat closet is located nearby. Straight ahead is the great room, featuring a fireplace and a coffered ceiling for added interest. Wide windows overlook the back garden. The dining room, separated from the great room by an archway, opens onto a large sundeck, with stairs leading down to the garden. No cook will ever feel isolated in the open-plan kitchen, with its step-saving L-shaped counter configuration and prep island. A walk-in pantry provides lots of storage room. Another archway near the pantry leads back to the great room. On the opposite side of the home, the master suite is located for privacy, overlooking the back garden. A walk-in closet provides lots of space for clothing and accessories. In the three-piece ensuite, the tub occupies a bayed-out area with a window. The second bedroom’s door is placed at an angle to save space. A display case is tucked into a corner near the doorway. A three-piece bathroom is conveniently

located nearby. Entrance to the third bedroom, which could also serve as a den or home office, is off the foyer. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding and painted trim, as well as decorative wooden detailing on the garage. Windows are mullioned. This home measures 47 feet wide by 51 feet deep, for a total of 1,424 square feet. All ceilings are nine feet, and the plans include an unfinished basement.

Martin Hamm 1926 ~ 2013 With great sorrow, the Hamm family announces the sudden death of Martin on March 1, 2013. He is survived by his wife: Adaline (Addie); children: Ernie, Robert, Brian (Kirsten), Cathie (Mary-Jo); grand-daughter: Alexandra; stepgrandchildren: Kirstin (Dan), Alix, Keenan; sisters: Lena, Mary, Anna, Margaret (Dave); and brothers: John (Erna), Cornel (Mary), and Walter (Tillie); sister-in-law: Betty. He was predeceased by his grandson: Nikolas; brothers: Frank and Peter; brothers-in-law: David, Nick, George; sister-in-law: Erna. Martin was born November 8, 1926 in Sunnyslope, Alberta to Martin and Anna Hamm, recent immigrants from the Soviet Union. He was the fourth of ten children, and was raised in the Mennonite community in Laglace, Alberta. He attended a rural one room school there until grades 11 and 12, when he boarded in Gretna, Manitoba, to go to high school. By this time, he had decided to become a teacher. After graduation in 1945 (when he used a telephone for the first time), he returned to the Peace River country. His family had moved to Chilliwack, but he remained in the area to attend Bible college for a year. In spring 1946 he rejoined his family on the farm in Chilliwack, but left that September to go to Normal School in Vancouver. In the spring of 1947, at the age of 20, he graduated with a teacher’s certificate, and that fall started teaching elementary school in Osoyoos, BC. He stayed there for four years, then returned to Chilliwack to teach at Vedder Crossing. While in Chilliwack he met Adaline Trotter, fell in love, and they married in 1954. Together, they raised four children. He went to UBC every summer from 1948 to 1954, when he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree. He then taught at Chilliwack Junior High School until 1962, when he had the opportunity to become the Director of Elementary Instruction for School District 27 in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, and so moved his young family to Williams Lake. He dedicated the next 25 years to building and shaping the district, as it grew from 300 to 8000 students. On his holidays, he travelled with his family, taking some memoral road trips, including driving across the country with his three sons. He again went to UBC in the summers leading up to 1972, this time to earn his Master’s Degree in Education. On his next summer off, he resumed his road trips, this time with his younger two children. He dedicated his leisure time to his family, the Williams Lake Rotary Club, and was an avid Bridge player. He retired in 1987, at the age of 60, after 40 years in education. He spent his retirement travelling, reading, and playing Bridge, among other activities. He was heavily involved in his community and lived a vibrant life up until his last hour. Over his long career and life he was known as hard working, fair, and conscientious, and earned the friendship and respect of many. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 23, 2013 at St. Andrew’s United Church. Rev. Jenny Carter officiating. Donations can be made to the Williams Lake Salvation Army or Central Cariboo Hospice Society. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100
