Seizing drivers’ phones rejected

Talking and texting behind the wheel continues to be a major road safety problem, but Attorney General Shirley Bond has rejected raising fines or taking away mobile phones to deal with the problem. The tough new measures were suggested last week by Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham, after an enforcement blitz by British Columbia police forces resulted in about 6,000 tickets being issued in February. Graham, chair of the B.C. Association of Police Chiefs’ traffic safety committee, suggested police should also have the authority to seize a phone for 24 hours for a first offence, and for several days for repeat offences. Graham also referred to $350 fines available for other traffic safety violations. The current fine for mobile phone use while driving is $167. “I’m certainly not considering the seizure of cell phones,” Bond said recently. “I am concerned, though, that we continue to see distracted driving in the province.” Bond added taking away cell phones would create privacy problems, and she is also not convinced increasing fines would have the desired effect. “It’s not unlike seat belts. It took a long time for people in our province to make that a normal habit.” B.C. imposed new Motor Vehicle Act regulations against using handheld mobile devices in January 2010. The rules allow phones to be used with a headset and a single-button function to make calls.

Start an RESP to get $1,200 Training and Education Grant
With new regulations now in place, families are reminded they need to open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to access the new $1,200 BC Training and Education Savings
Grant (BCTESG). All British Columbia children with an RESP and born on or after Jan. 1, 2007 are entitled to receive the BCTESG. To access the grant, families must open an RESP
Need a hand to prepare your tax return? As the tax filing deadline approaches, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reminds Canadians with low or fixed incomes that volunteers are available in the community to assist with the preparation of tax returns. Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, the CRA links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The community organizations hold tax-preparation clinics where the volunteers donate their time to help people with simple-tax filing situations complete their income tax and benefit returns, free of charge. Last year, in British Columbia and the Yukon, 2,786 volunteers helped prepare 88,331 income tax returns. Through the dedication of these volunteers, thousands of Canadians understood and met their tax obligations and continued to receive their tax credits and benefits on time. To determine if you are eligible for this service call the CRA toll

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 or require minimum contributions and balances, so it costs nothing to access the BCTESG. In addition to $1,200 from the province, families can also access similar RESP savings grants from the federal
government. 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. Information about RESPs, including tips on starting an RESP and education savings grants from the federal government, is available at www.canlearn.ca.

Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act -- both onstage and off -- if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place. • Comedy • Rating: PG • Length: 1:40

Planning meals saves time, energy and money
Living Well
Health tips… for your whole life. By Alexis Blueschke March was Nutrition Month, but really every month is nutrition month. It is the time of year that we get our first glimpse of spring. It’s also the time I begin to contemplate gardening and the delicious things I will plant this year in my attempt to grown my own vegetables. Gardening dreams aside, I find this time of year very busy, as I juggle the time demands of work, school, pets, swim lessons and family time. One of the best things I have done to save myself time, energy and money is plan weekly meals in advance. Ideally a monthly meal plan would be great, but even a week at a time
Interior Health
can work wonders. The first, and most important, thing I do is brainstorm some meal ideas I know my family will like. The brainstorming phase can be fun. I ask friends, family and co-workers for their favourite recipes. Once I have collected some great ideas, I go through them and see which ones will work. Sometimes I modify the recipes to suit our tastes, dietary preferences, and needs. Then I look at the week’s activities to see if there are any days are busier than others. I find it helps to use a crock pot on those days or make larger meals on the weekend in order to reheat leftovers throughout the week. Another great
time-saving tip I have discovered is to double up at least two of the recipe ideas each week, preferably those that are family favourites and will freeze well. Once I have my top five to seven recipes, it’s time to write out a grocery list. I start by taking inventory and going through my cupboard, pantry and fridge to see if there are any items on the grocery list I already

Premier touts job plan in Cariboo
A day after releasing her government’s latest update on the BC Jobs Plan, Premier Christy Clark visited West Fraser Timber’s Williams Lake sawmill on March 22 to tout the
benefits of the plan to the Cariboo Region. “Creating jobs requires having a plan, one that builds on strengths and capitalizes on opportunities,” Clark said. “In the Cariboo,
Penny donations help animals in need Animal lovers can put the big jar of pennies they’ve been collecting to good use this spring to help animals in need. Select BC SPCA branches across the province will be collecting donations (pre-rolled pennies preferred) until May 31. “Many people have a jar of coins sitting in a closet or drawer in their home,” says Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA general manager of community relations. “We are so grateful to anyone who gives their pennies to help animals in their community.” Since the Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pennies on Feb. 4, the BC SPCA is hoping the phased out coin can make a big difference to dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and more. “Every penny counts. We rely solely on donations to improve the welfare of animals in British Columbia.” 100 Mile House is one of the participating SPCA branches.

MORE FREE TICKETS TO BE WON! WEEK OF APRIL 5 TO APRIL 11, 2013
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you must stand up for what you believe is right, even if it costs you a few friends along the way. It is the price to pay for doing the honorable thing. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take a trip this week if it will help you reach your goals. The change of scenery could give you an entirely new perspective on a situation that needs tackling. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, think about adding some new skills to your resume. It’s not that your job is in turmoil right now, but it always pays to be a step ahead when it comes to your career. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, just because everyone else is making changes doesn’t mean you have to at this time as well. If things are working out, then let them stay as they are for a while. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Don’t set limits on what you do, Leo. Changes at work mean you may need to fill different roles that require new skills. There’s a good chance you can master them. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Networking comes in all shapes and sizes, Virgo. Attend a fun function to put yourself in touch with new people and lead to encounters that can help your future. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, don’t feel guilty if your opinion differs from others’. If you don’t agree with the consensus, then that is your opinion and your right. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, say what is on your mind because sometimes people just need to hear the honest truth. You have a good way of exacting authority and representing others.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, get together with people who share your love of adventure this week. Together you can enjoy time spent living vicariously and enjoying the scenery flying by. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if you want to get real results this time, change your approach with a person who has been troublesome in the past. You will get the knack of persuasion.
HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Discuss issues from your past that you have yet to resolve, Aquarius. This is the week to “come clean” with a spouse or romantic partner or someone else close to you. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, do generous things for others, and not only will you feel great, but also you will get an unexpected reward.

British Columbia’s lawyers call for list of reforms
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
The British Columbia branch of the Canadian Bar Association recently released a report calling for more judges, more court services staff, more legal aid money and more mental health services. Kerry Simmons, Canadian Bar Association B.C. branch president, released the report at a news conference in Victoria. Simmons said the association wants to put justice issues on
the agenda for the May provincial election, and it has been received with interest by the BC Liberal Party and NDP. The bar association, representing 6,900 B.C. judges, lawyers and law students, is seeking a long wish list of reforms, including long-standing demands for legal aid funding for family court disputes and a return to the 2005 level of staffing for provincial court judges. The B.C. Liberal government announced the hiring of nine new judges a year ago,
and Attorney General Shirley Bond also launched a review of the court system. Geoffrey Cowper, former chair of B.C.’s Legal Services Society, was assigned to examine why the court system was getting slower despite 13,000 fewer new provincial criminal cases than it handled in 2002. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there are incentives for defence lawyers to delay cases, and a “culture of delay” that resists change. “During the review there was a general

sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness.” He also found there is an average of seven appearances by the accused in a criminal case before it goes to trial. Asked about those problems, Simmons said there are pilot projects underway to expand the use of video conferencing in courts. Judges from out of town can preside over simpler procedures, such as bail or remand hearings.
