POWELL SUSAN S. POWELL BARRISTER & SOLICITOR FAMILY LAW 350 RUTHERFORD RD. S. (Plaza 2, Suite 320) on the Corner of Steeles & Rutherford 905-455-6677 Q:I have been separated from myhusband for several months but we still live in the same house. I want to buy another house but someone told me my husband could claim one-half of it? Is this true? A:If you and your husband have decidedto separate you would be considered to be living separate and apart in the matrimonial home. Any assets you acquire after your separation are your assets and your husband can not claim an interest in them. The new house would be your asset. Be careful though, as you will likely not be able to obtain a mortgage unless you have a Separation Agreement and have divided your property and settled other financial issues such as support. The bank will requireacopyofyourSeparationAgreement before they will advance you the money for your new house. Manon Dulude celebrates the 16th International Coaching Week The profession of coaching continues to grow and evolve. It is gaining in recognition and credibility with individuals, leaders, and organizations around the world. The International Coach Federation (ICF) now celebrates its 16th International Coaching Week, and aims at promoting coaching as an effective human development approach. ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought- provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Ultimately, coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. A professional coach is trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs and to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has. When seeking the services of a coach, selecting an ICF credentialed coach will insure that you are working with a professional who has demonstrated a specific level of training and competencies. Know your objectives for working with a coach and interview more than one coach to decide who to work with. Beyond choosing an ICF Credentialed coach, the most important aspect to consider when selecting a coach is your sense that this professional will create with you a powerful partnership to support you through your transformation. Here are some questions you might ask a prospective coach: • What are your ICF credentials? • What is your coaching experience? (# of individuals, years, types of situations) • What is your coaching specialty or areas in which you most often work? • What specialized skill or experience do you bring to your coaching? Manon Dulude holds a Ph.D. in Human Development and Coaching and is a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF.

Jessie Oreskovic, Hope Giangrande and Monica Lauryssen rounded out the scor- ing. CtK's junior varsity squad hosted a day-long tournament last week and ended up finalists in the B divison. The JV Jags won their open- er 10-6 over Lorne Park as Meaghan Hector (6) and Sarah Lauryssen (4) supplied the of- fence. Hector (2), Jenna Bath- gate, Julia Findlay and Corie Pogbee had the goals in a 10-5 loss to St. Peter's, while Hector (4), Lucia Beram (2) and Sarah Lauryssen scored in an 8-7 OT loss to Keswick in the B final. CtK will host the Halton var- sity boys' finals on May 21 and the Trillium Cup provincial championship tournament May 28-29 is slated to take place in Georgetown. For the third straight year, 15-year-old Georgetown resi- dents Dylan Thring (left) and Tucker Johnson have helped pro- pel their Mississauga Pakmen un- der-16 Gold squad to an Ontario Volleyball Association Tier I cham- pionship following the recent provincial championship tourna- ment in Waterloo. Johnson, a 6-foot-4 middle, and Thring, a setter and side hitter, started for the Pakmen, who incredibly won all 12 of their matches during the three-day marathon at RIM Park against the top teams in Ontario. Five times during the tournament the Pakmen Gold were pushed to three sets and they prevailed in all of them, including two tiebreak- er wins apiece over the London Volleyball Club and the Ottawa Longhorns. In the final, Missis- sauga downed Aurora 25-16, 25- 22. The Pakmen Gold now move on to the Canada West Champi- onships in Calgary.
