Answers From The Library Question: Was Beethoven deaf his entire life? H. B. Answer: No. Ludwig von Beethoven did not begin to lose his hear- ing until his late twenties and did not become completely deaf for a number of years after that. Born in Bonn, Germany in December 1770. Beethoven ex- hibited a musical proficiency at an early age. His father taught him to play the piano and the violin. By the age of ten, Beethoven was an accomplished pianist, able to play from sheet music and to improvise. He published his fust three piano sonatas when he was eleven. Beethoven's music offered a transition from the Classical period of music to the Romantic period. His work expressed more emotion than that of his predecessors and allowed more creative freedom for later composers. Beethoven's work is generally divided into three groups. The first spans the 1790's and reflects the classical eduction the musician received as a boy. The second period from 1800 to 1815 was his most productive one. Beethoven's style was developing, but was controversial among his peers. His "Moonlight Sonata" was written during these years. In the final period of his writing, Beethoven's compdsi- tions became complex and more difficult to perform. This may have reflected his failing health. The famcAr; ninth symphony came out of this period. Beethoven died in 1827.

Aug. 30, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Property Re -assessment by Bob Watson The current meetings being held by Metro Council to in- form residents about a possible change in assessing the value of properties in order to come up with a fairer distribution of property taxes are bringing out big crowds of taxpayers to release their anxiety about the changes. Most people naturally want to know just what will this mean to them personally. Most of Ontario has been put on market value assessment as the basis for the allocation of property taxes to pay local government expenses. Unfortunately the provincial government is reluctant to do the same for Metro Toronto and so the local Metro government is undertaking the pro- cess to reach some sort of fairer tax system which it hopes the provincial government will put into law. The problem is that many properties in Metro Toronto, which were built before 1940, are still being assessed at the value at the time of the original purchase while properties built just recently are being taxed on the value of those pro- perties in today's values. Market value re -assessment would put all properties on the same economic value basis and be fair to all. One of the proposals being studied by a Metro Council task force chaired by Metro Councillor Scott Cavalier is to establish the new market value as of 1964 but to assist those whose properties would get a large rise in taxes with a tax increase held at 25%. The property would go to the 1984 value when it is sold. Another proposal being studied by the task force is to have education and social welfare costs paid by income tax instead of property taxes. This idea is favoured by many councillors but it would be up to the provincial government whether such an idea would get legislative endorsement. On Wed. Aug. 30th the task force on re -assessment will hold a meeting in the Scarborough Civic Centre at 7:30 p.m and City of Toronto residents will get their turn on this topic at 7:30 p.m on Thurs. Aug. 31st at Toronto city hall. Not Good Enough Federal pians to expand Pearson International Airport are a step in the right direction, but they fall far short of what is required to deal with air transportabon in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario Transportation Minister William Wrye said last week. Wrye was reacting to an announcement by federal Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard and Secretary of State for Transport Shirley Martin that two new runways will be built at Pearson. "We support these short-term capacity improvements to help deal with the existing congestion at Pearson," Wrye said. "However, the federal government's response to the urgent state of air transportation within the Greater Toron- to Area is clearly inadequate. "In my meeting with the ministers yesterday, I urged them to take a series of more concrete and comprehensive maeasures," Wrye said. Since the fall of 1985. Ontario has recommended shifting some traffic to Hamilton -Mount Hope Airport. However, Wrye said be is concerned the federal pians to not address the urgent need to lengthen runways at that airport, so that larger aircraft may take off and land there. He also pointed out the plans for Pearson do not include any measures to improve the managment of traffic flow within the terminals, such as the potential for assembling charter groups at off-site locations. In addition, Wrye noted that the expansion of Pearson will result in added pressures on the highway and transit systems which serve the airport. He said he is looking to Ot- tawa to help support necessary improvements to the transportation network feeding Pearson. Ontario made a commitment in its last budget to pay for our share of the cost of improving access to Pearson,.. Wrye said. "Now is it time for the federal government to make a similar commitment." STATFACTS The first survey of the ways Canadian families spend their money was taken by Statistics Canada back in 1937-38. In the 50 -year span from then to the latest survey in 1987, lots of things, including the sophistication of the survey itself, have changed. But wfiile the old and new surveys are not directly comparable in a strict statistical sense, they can illustrate some telling differences. Let's look at a few. The 1987 survey showed that personal taxes took more than a fifth (20.6%) of family spending in 1987. Fifty years earlier, the taxman's bite - more of a nibble, really - was just 0.2%. news "�ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Ontario Participates Federal Labour Minister Jean C'orbed has announced that the Ontario government has agreed to participate in the federal -provincial Program for Older Worker Adjust- ment (POWA). "All provinces are now participating in POWA and the program has become truly national in scope," said Mr. Cor- beil. "I am very pleased that the Ontario government is joining the federal government to assist those older workers who are in greatest need of support following ma- jor permanent layoffs... The Program for Older Worker Adjustment was launched on Oct. 6, 1988, with seven participating provinces. The re- maining three provinces have since joined the program. POWA targets its support to workers between the ages of 55 and 64 who have been in the labour force for 15 out of the last 2D years and who, after becoming victims of major per- manent layoffs. have no realistic prospects for re- employment. Unlike the Labour Adjustment Benefits (LAB) Program which was limited to certain industries and regions, POWA is open to all industries and regions so that many more layoff situations will be eligible for assistance. POWA is not designed to encourage early retiremenL since all avenues to re-employment must be exhausted before it can be made available. Moreover, the program provides strong financial incentives for beneficiaries to continue seeking employment opportunities. The income assistance received under POWA will be bet- ween social assistance and Unemployment insurance levels. Eligible workers must have exhausted their unemployment insurance before receiving POWA benefits. Under POWA, the federal and provincial governments will wort together to assess the eligibility of major layoffs and affected workers. The federal government will bear 70% of the cost of assistance and the province 3o%. In addi- tion, the program will seek the maximurn feasible contribu- tion from the employer. These contributions will be used to purchase annuities for eligible older workers from private sector financial unutuu- tions selected through competitive tendering processes. "Using the private sector to deliver POWA benefits is an innovative and effective means of getting assistance into the hands of older workers,.. said the minister. Major Permanent layoffs that have occurred since Jan. 1, 1988 are eligible for consideration. For industries covered by the previous Labour Adjustment Benefits (LAB) pro- gram as of August, 1986, layoffs that have occurred since the expiration of those LAB designations will be considered_ Downward Trend In Home Sales The total number of homes purchased in Canada's 25 metropolitan centres during July decreased 9.1 per cent to 15,230, down from 16.757 recorded a year earlier, says The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) .

Kinark Child and Family Services will assign their coach to their program in -Kawartha to be used STRIVE program for teenagers. These teenagers have for the most part experienced failure at home, school and in the community. The coach will make it possible for the young peo- pie to participate in a variety of community ac- tivities such as: going to appointments for assessments and treat- ment; visits to city ser- vices such as library or YMCA; group activities; group outings; transporta- tion to and from school; transportation to look for jobs; recreational pro- grams such as skating, physical education classes, swimming, weekend camp- ing- These activities will assist young people to learn how to function in the com- munity and to become pro- ductive members of socie- ty. Above all the Sunshine Coach shows our young people that the community service clubs and businesses are willing to help them with their dif- ficulties. This Sunshine Coach is presented by Super Domi- nion and Johnson & Johnson as one of 16 coaches donated this year to non profit Ontario organizations serving disabled or disadvantaged children. Sunshine Coaches are funded through the grocery industry's annual Cash for Kids coupon project. Over 80 grocery industry Sun- shine Coaches have been given in Ontario since the project started in 1981. The program is ad- ministered by Variety Club of Ontario - Tent 28, a member of Variety Clubs International, the worldwide service organization of the enter- tainment industry which helps children with special needs.

Volunteer craftsmen and artisans have carefully refurbished and rebuilt ad- ditions to the collection us- ing time-honoured methods and materials.

You can ride as often as you like all day. The museum is open every day in August but from Sept. 1st to the end of October it operates on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Bed & Breakfasts Offer Travel Alternative Long a popular concept in Europe, bed and breakfasts are blooming in Rochester, New York as a charming and relatively in- expensive lodging idea. Bed and breakfasts offer a personal warmth and am- biance. Each facility reflects the distinctive style and taste of the resi- dent host. TL.ay range from a couple of spare rooms in someone's home to several rooms at an elegant, historic residence. Hosts generally offer a full, home -cooked breakfast which is included in the night's stay price ranging from S50 ( single ) to $65 1 double) . B&Bs offer "homestyle" accommodations where friendliness and sharing encourage a close, easy rapport with owners. Along with their charm and gracious hospitality, B&Bs are a way to get away from the crowds, the anonymity and sameness of hotels and motels and to become ac- quainted with a particular region, or for just a memorable, unique spot for a getaway or honey- moon. More and more business travelers also are staying at B&Bs. In Rochester, a city highly rated in a survey of what visitors to a city can expect in lifestyle quality and value for their dollar, there is the Dartmouth House, a spacious, gracious turn -of -the cen- tury English Tudor that of- fers candlelight gourmet breakfasts using china, silver and crystal. Hosts Bill and Elinor Klein are world travellers many times over and thought they were sophisticated until they began to exchange ideas with their guests who have ranged from a nuclear sub- marine commander to a grocery store clerk who is an antiques expert. Also in Rochester is Swan Walk with Oriental gardens, swan ponds, peacocks and a swimming pool at a national wildlife habitat. In suburban Pen- field is Strawberry Castle, a landmark brick ltalianate on three acres with large pool and patio. Highland House, a gracious traditional home on the east side of the city offers easy access to museums. colleges and the central ci- ty. Tralee House in subur- ban Greece offers hospitality with an Irish brogue. The host's yearly trips back to the "old sod.. and their large contem- porary home on a %moiled lot make interesting con- versation.

The role of The King is not a difficult one on stage being given much to posturing and declamation rather than nuance and within the parametres of his thespian skills Mr. Nureyev does well. As Anna, Liz Robertson comes as close to the late Gertrude Lawrence, unintentionally we're sure, as anyone. Miss Lawrence wasn't really a good singer but she could wring every bit of impact out of melody and lyrics. Miss Robertson on the other hand is a fine singer and has the same emotional impact as that of Miss L. One realizes that only imperfect road crew use of The O'Keefe's now excellent sound system causes her occasional lapse into sharp, something that dear Gertrude couldn't avoid if she tried.

The balance of the cast is uniformly adequate and given mastery of the sound system might even be good. As much as one can bestow kudos let them be upon Suzan Pastel and Patrick A'Hearn (what an m uisual spelling!) in the roles of Tuptin and Lun Tba, the doomed lovers. Single out as well masters Kenny Lund and Jason Brown as Anna's son and the king's son respec- tively. Both have presence and the promise of fine voices.

It will be charged at a uniform rate of 9 per cent on the vast majority of goods and services consumed in Canada. The existing federal sales tax rate is generally 13'/z% at the manufacturer's level. The present federal sales tax system has been pushed beyond its limits and can no longer sustain the demands placed upon it. The structural weaknesses of the system have given some corporations the opportunity to reduce the amount of tax they would otherwise pay. For a tax system with 75,000 taxpaying corpora- tions, there are 22,000 special arrangements and administrative interpretations required to keep the system in operation. The present federal sales tax system is an increasingly unpredictable and un- reliable source of revenue for the federal government It must be replaced. Our enormous debt has put pressure on the government's ability to meet other priorities. Canadians know the risks of not acting to bring the debt under control. The size of the debt has left us exposed to increases in interest rates, and vulnerable to international economic shocks. The reliability and stability of our sources of revenue are all the more important in such an environment The new federal sales tax will secure year by year reductions in the deficit, while ensuring we can continue to provide Canadians with a standard of services that is among the best in the world. IT WILL STRENGTHEN OUR INTERNATIONAL COMPETTTI'.''cNE5"IS !',ND CREATE IOBS [II I a- ► _ 1. Our current federal sales tax favours imports over Canadian made goods. We are the only country in the industrialized world that is putting itself at such a dis- advantage. The existing system also makes Canada's exporters less competitive in the world economy. Our present federal sales tax makes our annual economic output about $9 billion k)wer than it would be with the new GST in place. Under the GST, we will be able to completely remove tax from our exports and make Canadian products more competitive abroad. And in Canada. Canadian -made prod- ucts will be able to compete more effectively LaftL .",.' "..,°~`_ with imports. The benefits to the Canadian economy from sales tax reform will extend across all regions and sectors of the economy. The Atlantic and Prairie regions for example, will benefit significantly because their economies are resource-based and export -oriented -two sec- tors that will benefit the most from sales tax reform. The GST will lower the cost of the machines. supplies and equipment companies have to buy to produce their products. This will lead to higher levels of investment and expand our output. Higher output will lead to more jobs -- - IT W21 HELP LOW INCOME CANADIANS. Once the GST is in place, families earning less than $30.000 a year will be better off. This will be achieved through a combination of income tax changes- First low income Canadians will receive the new GST Credit. Second, the middle personal income tax rate will be reduced from 26 per cent to 25 per cent- The entThe GST Credit will be paid every three months and in advance of expenses. Eligible Canadian households will receive their first credit cheque in December 1990, before the January 1, 1991 GST start-up date. About 9 million Canadians will receive Credit cheques The GST Credit will be calculated on the basis of income tax returns Every income tax return will contain a one-page form showing Canadians how to apply for the GST Credit The amount of the Credit will depend on '•�'+'•� family size and income. The basic adult credit will be $275. Most single adults will be able to get an — "— ---- 1 additional credit of up to $140, for a total of $415.� , C,.. m. ..... The child credit will be $100. Single parents � will receive an adult Credit of $275 for one of their children. Canadian households with incomes up to about $25,000 annually will be entitled to the �•••.-- I� full Credit.y w I A family of two adults and two ciildren, eligible for the full Credit, will for example receive cheques of $187.50, four times over the course a 0 la .0 W R of the year, for a total of $750.-- ---r Wed. Aug. 30,190 THE NEWS/ POST Page 9 R WILL ELIMINATE HIDDEN TAXES. Right now, everywhere in this country every time Canadians buy a good or service made in Canada, they are paying federal sales tax. For example, a substantial amount of sales tax is presently buried in house prices. Under the existing system, it is clearly impossible for Canadians to know how much federal sales tax they are paying. There are four different rates on a variety of different products and the tax is buried throughout the production process. It will be clear to Canadians when they are paying the 9 per cent GST. The broad base of the GST means it will apply to almost everything. The few exceptions will be widely known. Some retailers in Canada will have cash registers that are capable of showing the GST separately at the check-out counter, while other retailers will not. The federal government will provide an incentive to retailers to assist them in acquiring the cash registers to show the GST separately. In all cases, the federal government will provide retailers with signs for their stores that clearly indicate that the 9 per cent GST is being applied. "11 71 id it A 9L M h3. 1. For consumers, the GST will be similar to a retail sales tax, at the rate of 9 per cent on the retail price of goods and services. The GST will replace the existing federal sales tax, which is hidden at the manufacturer's leveL Z. The GST will apply to virtually all goods and services sold in Canada; however, Canadians will not be charged tax when they buy the following GOODS: basic groceries; prescription drugs: medial appli- ances such as eye -glasses and wheel chairs; residential rents and existing houses. 3. Canadians will not be charged tax when they buy the following SERVICES: kms„ mortgages, securities and insurance policies; health and dental care: most education services: daycare services: legal aid: and municipal transit and passenger ferry services. 4. \rw•ly constructed houses will be taxed, however, most new home buyers will not see a significant increase in the price of a new house resulting from the GST, because there will be a $900 million GST housing rebate. In many parts of the country price increases will be less than half a per cent Indeed, many communities should see lower prices as a result of the GST rebate. The main exception will be Toronto, where extraordinarily high land prices may cause prices of new housing to increase by about J. Because the present federal sales tax will be removed, prices will not automatically rise by 9 per cent when the GST is introduced. The prices of some things will be lower, and others higher. The prices of many big-ticket items for example, that are taxed at 13.5 per cent under the present system, will be lower once the 9 per cent GST is in place. The price of other items that are not taxed under the present system will increase. Finally. well before the GST is up and running, the government will be telling Canadians about the GST and informing them about the kinds of price changes they can expect for key goods and services when the GST replaces the existing federal sales tax For instance, here are a few examples of what consumers might expect: ITEM PRE-TAX REFORM($) POST-T.AX REFORM($ Air Conditioner 780.00 770.00 Car 15,000.00 14,700.00 Snow Tires 200.00 203.00 Hotel Accommodation 90.00 95.00 For fore infol'111abi m bod ft CiRY plem Call: 1=800=267=6620 1=800=267=6640 1=800=267=6650 (English) (French) (Telecommunications device for the hearing impaired) ow.,...r. a R...o. ra..W. a.. c■...o..

Remember, you are responsible for the damage caused by your wake. Observe safe re -fueling Procedures every time you ill up- Moor boat securely; shut off the engines; don't smoke; extinguish all open flames; close hatches and doors; do not use electrical switches; send passengers ashore; hold the pipe noz- zle firmly against filling Pipe thereby grounding it; wipe up any gasoline spillage; open hatches and ventilate boat; operate bilge blower for a full five minutes; test for gas fortes by using your nose - if no fumes are detected, then and only then, start your engines and have passengers re -embark. Remove portable gas tanks from your boat when re -fueling. It may be easier to leave them aboard, but certainly it is not safer. Do no smoke when filling your tanks. VI!ipe up any spills - Return tanks to the boat. After refueling, use yournose to detect �y B� fumes below decks. Use your blower but never under -estimate the value of your own nose - and if you do smell gas fumes, do not start your era nrs. The law requires that there always be two people in a boat which is towing a water skier; one to observe the skier, and one to drive the boat. It is illegal to tow water skiers after sunset. If they fall, you may not see them go down. Do not overload your boat beyond its capacity. The capacity plate is on every boat and was put there by the manufacturer for your safety. If your boat looks overloaded, it pro- bably is. Boating accidents don't just happen. They are caus- ed by carelessness and ig- norance. To avoid being a statistic, take the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron's Boating course. For more information call 293-2438.

What's happening° Dear Dazed Dorian: A sharp- ened mower blade and an even cut will do wonders to bring back your lawn's youth and vitality. A dull mower blade shreds grass tips, giving a lawn a grayish appearance a day or so after mowing. Shredded tips can also put your lawn past its prime by providing easy access for pests and diose. A scalped lawn with uneven patches indicates that the mower blade is unbalanced and is cut- ting the grass shorter on one side of the swath. Bumps and hills in the lawn can also cause scalp- ing. Level off the ground, if pos- sible, and be especially careful when mowing uneven areas. Rejuvenate your lawn this sea- son by touching up the gray with good mowing habits and a sharp mower blade. Sharpen a blade with a grinding wheel or file, and make sure to leave at least 1/64 -inch or close to 1/2 mm of metal on the blade edge for strength. Check the blade for balance by centering it on the edge of ruler. With a sharp blade, you can return your lawn to the pic- ture of health. Dear John: My neighbour just planted some beautiful fruit trees and then pruned them so the branches bol: like little stubs. Is this cruelty to Mother Nature? Dear Dubious David: Your neighbour is actually doing his new trees a favor. If he didn't prune the trees back nght after planting, they might not last through the summer. Root sys- tems of tramplanted fruit trees are cut back dramatically when then are moved from a nurser- to a backyard and can't support extensive top -growth. All stone fruit trees (plum, nec- tarine, peach, cherry, apricot) should be cut back at planting time to a height of about 30 inches/75 cm. Side branches should be cut off completely. The tree will respond to this surgery with a new spurt of growth and an early production of fruit. Dear John: My Lawn has sev- eral small hills. Can you tell me the safest way to mow them? Dear Mindful Mower: Mow up and down a slope with a riding mower. When using a walk - behind, mow across a slope. Try to mow forward at all times. If you must go in reverse on a riding mower, remember to keep looking behind you when backing up. If the slopes in your yard are too steep for safe mowing, the best thing to do is to plant a dec- orative, low -maintenance ground - cover on difficult -to -mow areas.

Dave Springett organizes tours for players, regardless of ability, each year and hopes to find some interested area players to sign up for this year's trip. Springett says, "All the players have a great hockey experience, get to visit different countries, and compete against Euro- peans, which few players get the chance to do." Each player is responsi- ble for their own travel ex- penses while the club pro- vides uniforms, jackets, duffle bags, and makes all the arrangements. Players from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec have participated in the past. The entire team is filled on a first come first serve basis and will play five no contact exhibition games during the eleven day trip. All area players are welcome and can get more information on registration by calling Dave Springett at (2D4) 632-1521.
