For most British Colum- bian's, the hardship created when maintenance payments from a for- MEY Spouse go unpaid may Seem a distant reality. Bus Shor Single parents, Maintenance payments are ean essential element to survival, said Attorney Sanction Bud Smith. The program wag implemented in September 1988 ae the Ministry of Attorney General to help en- Sure maintenance payments ordered by the court are paid. According to Brian Pollick, Vancouver Island manager for the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program (FMEP), the most common reaction of single mothers to their situation is also the most Compe Wings t= Seta. eabeernus, hard. I've been poor." Hemeeare ns OMed ofthe — reali Hies,oBwthi sel fteom the edge of Survival: most often the marriage breakup leaves unresolved emo- tional upset which is aggravated hy all the court proceedings and contacts that necessarily follow. ex-husbands will often use maintenance payments or lack of them to continue to exert control over his ex-wife and children. - breakup of the marriage often means moving with children from a single family dwelling in- to a small, often crowded apart- ment which is all her new finan- €ial situation will allow. - a Single mother has usual - ly been out of the workforce’ for Some time or has never been in it, meaning she has not developed marketable skills. children's lifestyles are severely disrupted, not only within the family because one parent is gone but outside the family because there is no money to support extracurricular sports, allowances or the name- brand wardrobes of their peers. - preventative measures such as dental checkups or car repairs Simply don't get done because there: is -never any money’ for them. children get a skewed view of their separated parents as father tends to swing by to take the kids out to a restaurant or an event while mother has to deny them small luxuries and gets Stuck with disciplining growing Children alone. Surviving such times with a Semblance of sanity is a matter of “incredible luck or incredible pluck", says Pearl McKenzie. McKenzie is the president of a North Vancouver-based support group known as the Society for Children's Rights to Adequate Parental Support (SCRAPS). "Driving across town in a car that tmay be unsafe because there is no money to fix it is an act of bravery" as far as McKen zie is concerned. For a woman able to find work and earn $1,300 per month, for example, says McKenzie, main- The company reported no gold production in the first quarter of 1989 due to suspension of nilling operations at its two mines in Western Canada in the second half of 1988. The 1989 first quarter results include full consolidation of the com- pany's two oil and gas subsidi- aries, Ranchmen's Resources Ltd. since July 1, 1988) and Consoli- dated Trans-Canada Resources Ltd. (since November 1, 1987). Combined 011 and gas produc- tion from Ranchmen's and Consol- idatead Trans-Canada averaged 4,421 barrels of oil per day and 24.1 million cubic feet of natur- al gas during the first three months of 1989, compared to 3,449 barrels of oil and 23.2 million cubic feet of natural gas during the 1988 period. Tetal Energold Corporation is active in precious metals exploration, and oil and gas exploration and production. In 1989, the company plans to spend approximately $17.7 million on mineral exploration, with empha- Sis on the Tundra Gold Venture in the Northwest Territories and the Erickson Gold Camp near Cassiar, B.C. The-company's two oil and gas subsidiaries plan expendi- tures of $18.0 million on explo-- ration and development. Total Energold holds 53.9 percent of the equity of Ranchmen's and 63.5 percent of the common shares of Consolidated Trans~Canada. SS TY tenance payments of $500 for three children make the ditfer- ence between eating well and poorly, especially if the child- ren are preschool age and daycare costs must be paid out ..of the mother's earning. For working single parents, Ene so MEPS willie inerease their Chances of receiving all mainten- ance payments ordered by the sae court, says McKenzie. Dias those on income assist- ance, regular maintenance pay- ments may make the difference in achieving financial independance. For all participants, the program will reduce or eliminate emotional upsets around payments and allow them to concentrate on the difficult task of ‘raising their children. 2 Se eee s. ee in - ——— Lp YK “he “Poi nt of Vi ew by don campbell Over the past few years I have had rather close contact with the law and most of the facets connected with it, inc- luding the court system. In fact, a few years agoI was in- vited to travel with the court party in the N.W.T. as they made their glorious circuit and. meted out "Frontier Justice" in the communities. Unfortunately for me, halfway through the trip the judge overheard some of my less than favourable comments and had me kicked off “his plane", resul- ting in my having to hitchhike from Cambridge Bay to Frobisher Bay. That's not easy with only one plane a week! ——- That trip and time since have done little to change my attitude towards our northern style of justice: by the “courts. "Frontier Justice" to me was justice handed out on the spot, usually by a-group of vigilantes but sometimes by a circuit judge. It.did not include being remanded for five or six months or having one's hearing postponed until the next time around. While [I am not advocating a return to vigilante-type law, I am suggesting that the time has come for the court system to get it's act toyether; it is time ~to quit travelling around like a circus act. and get down to’ the serious business at hand. If the recent hearings in Cassiar are any indication of court in the north and, in my Opinion they are typical, then we are in sad shape. The biggest concern by. the whole party, prosecution, defence. and judge, appears to be to have to spend as little time as possible in our less than first class situation and to get the hell out of here as fast as they can. Never mind the fact that police officers have to have suspects here or witnesses may have to come from afar only to be told to come back next month or some time down the road. I am sure that lawyers, judges and other court officials are well compensated for their time and that if they have to stay over to finish their busi- ness, then so be it. As a tax- payer I do not feel that I am getting my money's worth for the service provided. Yes, Your Honour, that's how I feel and I am sure there are many others like me. ‘Ist, 3rd and Sth Sundays 2nd and 4th Sundays _ HOLY EUCHARIST A Child’s View of Reiements ina Mobile Home Park Christmas break. teacher asked her how they had spent their holiday.
