Jan. 10. 1". ) Opinion a page for expression for you and us What's Exempt? To The Editor For some time now the Conservative Federal govern- ment has been trying to sell to the people A Goods and Ser- vices Tax of 9% (with recent talk that it may be dropped to 7%) . However. there seems to be an unwillingness by Mr. Wilson, the Finance Minister, to let us knowwhat will be ex- empt from this tax, if anything. I would like to point out to Mr. Wilson that it would be in- conceivable for him to levy any tax on foodstuff that nourishes the body, books, magazines and newspapers that nourishes the mind. medicines on prescription, which are trying to make the public well and it seems ridiculous to put a tax on the cost of leaving this world by death. These are all items that are very important to the poor and most others as well. It would be very interesting to know if there are anv other items that Mr. 'kilson plans not to tax. Like everything that the government does. they start at the wrong end and then try to add or subtract to try and make their legislation more palatable to the people. The fairest way to taxation is through the income tax and if the method now being used isn't adjusted the poor will continue to suffer and with the GST tax they will be hit with a double whammy. Here is the way to set up the income tax on individuals that will be fair for all. Everyone knows with the current cost of living everyone making $20,000 or less should not be taxed. if everyone was givers an exemption of the first twen- ty thousand there would be no need for the current com- plicated system of so much as a single person, or so much if you are married and a few more small deductions if you have children or looking after a sick relative etc., all these deductions would be covered by the initial deducation allowed. Both the federal and provincial tax calculations would start on all monies earned above this deduction and would have an increasing tax rate on each increment of $10.000 received. Those investing cannot have an arrange- ment of claiming some of the profits in one year to offset losses in a past year. Each year is assessed on the earnings or profits of that year. I would allow winnings in any contest or sweepstake not to be charged as income in the year it is received but any in- terest accrued if invested would become earnings or if pur- chases made, they would attract sales tax in the year pay- ment was made. In the case of a salesman using a company car or their cram. they will be reimbursed by the company for any bills they turn in that are for the cost of upkeep of the car or storage. parking of same. Travelling expenses. accom- modation and personal meals may be claimed for reim- bursement by the company but no entertainment expenses. The company can claim as sales costs those for which receipts have been submitted as above, listed. If an executive receives a special bonus in cash it becomes earnings in the year received or. if it is a stock transfer it will be assessed at the market cast of such stock at time it is received. In this way there shouldn't be anyone that escapes paying income in a year If they receive over X1,000 In a year. This should eliminate a lot of unnecessary employees in the tax department which should drastically reduce the governments costs and in turn our taxes. Bruce A.

Here and There Independent Record Grant The Canadian Independent Record Production Associa- tion (CIRPA) will receive a 527.100 grant to produce a com- prehensive study of the sound recording industry in On- tario. Bob Wong MPP -Fort York) has announced. The Canadian Independent Record Production Associa- tion will produce a study to determine the industry's ability to respond to rapidly changing economic, technological and legislative environments. The completed study will describe challenges the industry faces during the next decade, and establish options to ensure growth in the in- dustr•. Electricity consumption During October, Ontario Hydro supplied it million megawatt hours of electricity to Ontario consumers, ap- proximately 2.5% more than in October, 1988. While the first three weeks were generally cold. the final week mark- ed some of the finest Indian summer weather in Ontario since 1963. The 19,011 megawatt peak for the month was 2.1% higher than the highest demand recorded in the same month of last year. Grant To Mimesis Theatre A grant of $7,0W will enable Mimesis Theatre to share and promote Italian -Canadian cultural heritage through its production of Tony Mardi's "A Modo Suo ( To Each His Ow•n))".

Little Support For Affirmative Action While affirmative action programs are guaranteed by the Charter of Rights, and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada, a University of Toronto study shows that the public opposes most forms of affirmative action. The study, by Joseph Fletcher of U of T's Department of Political Science and his graduate student Marie -Christine Chalmers, indicates that the issue of affirmative action is far from settled in the minds of most Canadians. For exam- ple, of 2,084 Canadians surveyed, 66.4 percent said they did not agree that companies should have quotas to ensure a fixed percentage of women are hired. Francophone and Native Canadians fared even less favorably than women. However, 48.4 percent of those who said they were against affirmative action programs said they would rethink their views if it meant that women would continue to earn less than men. "This suggests that while nearly everyone thinks equality between the sexes is important, people often have a hard time bridging the gap between their principles and committing themselves to a policy," said Fletcher. According to the study, there has not been enough public education or leadership on the subject. In a second sample consisting of 1,125 M.P.s, M.P.P.s, officials in the Depart- ment of Justice, and senior lawyers, the results of the survey were almost identical to those of the general public. "The continued use of affirmative action programs depends on the political will of decision makers in Canada. Ultimately, that will depends upon the will of the people," says Fletcher. The researchers conclude that advocates of affirmative action programs are faced with a challenge. In order for Canadians to accept employment quotas, they must be convinced that the value they place on individual merit will not be eroded for the sake of equality. Social Assistance Reform Two major changes, part of Ontario's $415 million reform of social assistance programs, came into effect on Jan. 1, 1990. The first improvement, announced in May 1989 will provide a 6 percent increase in the basic allowance for reci- pients of Family Benefits and General Welfare Assistance. The second improvement, in shelter allowances, will assist renters and homeowners who receive social assistance. Shelter costs will be covered 100 percent up to new, higher ceilings. Previously. only 8D percent of the cost of shelter was covered. These changes will benefit most in- dividuals and families who receive social assistance. Other significant changes were implemented in October 1989. The Supports to Employment Program (STEP) en- sures that social assistance recipients have financial incen- tives to take employment and are increasingly better off with each dollar earned in the workforce. In addition, to recogrhize the costs of raising children, $54 million was pro- vided to improve the rates for families on social assistance. Recipients can receive substantial increases as a result of the October 1989 and January 1990 improvements. For example, a single parent with two children under ten years of age, on Family Benefits, and paying rent of 5600 per month will receive 5206 more in January 1990 compared to the same month one year ago. This represents an increase of 2D.5 percent. A two -adult family on General Welfare Assistance, with three children ages 7, 9 and 13, paying $700 per month rent will receive X360 more per month or :10.4 percent more over January 1989. Here and There Coal plant gets scrubbers Preparatory work is underway at Ontario Hydro's Lamb - ton generating station, near Sarnia, for the installation of Ontario's first two sulphur dioxide scrubbers. The scrubbers will help Hydro meet provincially -set sulphur dioxide emission limits which will be reduced from this year's 370,000 tonnes to 175,000 tonnes in 1994. The limestone slurry scrubbers remove sulphur dioxide from flue gas by spraying the gas with a mixture of pulverized limestone and water before it enters the stack. The project will create an average of 250 construction jobs a year from the start of the project until it is completed in 1994. The scrubbers will be operating at Lambton units 3 and 4 by 1994.

By now, readers will be aware that the N.N. could not take place in 1988 because of some cockamamie labour dif- ficulties but it did on the last year of the past decade with assorted media and other celebrity types ad- ding to a comical rework- ing of the beloved Tchaikovsky work. They were all most amusing, particularly Dick Smyth (we saw you Dick, even though Choo Choo Train apparently didn't) as a sportscaster with all the disinterest of a Ted Husing or Bill Stern. Anyone who recognizes those names is older than they are admit- And there was John Burgess dressed as a butler. Well, paraphrasing Alexander Woolcott's celebrated comment on the founder of the New Yorker Magazine, you know what he looks like when he's not dressed like a butler. It was however, the members of the National released from strict discipline who contributed the most comic of moments. Among the many who stood out were the splendidly imperious Rex Harrington doing a funky Tina Turner, Lorna Geddes playing Clara as a truly rotten kid and Greg Patterson -the urbane, razor slim Publicity Direc- tor of The National as Peggy Lee. No foolin' Oh. there are so many pleasant memories of this production that we can feed on them till the next one. Why are we sharing them' In the new spirit of good wishes to all, we extend the suggestion that you contact The National now for next New Year's Eve produc- tion. You'll be sorry if you miss it. Remember where you read it. IN CONCERT: Marvin Hamlisch ap- pears this Sunday after- noon at Roy Thomson Hall. We could be wrong but believe this is his first ap- pearance in Toronto since July of 1976 when he ap- peared at The O'Keefe with John Davidson during the Summer of Stars. He put on an excellent show then and there's no reason to sup- pose that this ..return.. engagement should be any less enjoyable.

The company should not be thought of as simply another Folk ensemble. Georgian dancing features almost astonishing artistic and technical feats combining exhilarating excitement by the men and reserved movements by the women. They glide serenly about the men but never openly try to attract their atten- tion; men and women dancers never touch. Unlike classical ballet, Georgian women never dance on point but the men do. In fact, Georgian men are the only ones in the world to dance on their toes without the aid of blocked Unusual dancing, ex- cellent singing and fine in- strtmtentation should make for a most enjoyable even- ing. See you there. BIG SCREEN: Though we insist that the glory days of motion pic- ture production are now passed, like the mammoth ocean luxury liners of golden memory only, some good movies are still being made. One of the best places to see them is at Cinesphere in Ontario Place which once again is presenting its Winter Festival of screen epics. Already seen has been Batman and Top Gun starts tonight. Following are thirteen others all of which will be advertised in the daily journals. There are three in particular however which we wish to mention at this time. They are Dead Poets Society in which Robin Williams abandons the manic for persuasion. Amadeus glorified by Cinesphere's superb sound system and Lawrence of Arabia. We haven't been advised to the contrary and believe the last named to be the recently restored version. Lawrence is one of the handful of motion pictures worthy of repeat viewing and this version inning from March 14th to the 18th should be a must for cinema buffs. LITTLE SCREEN: Sullivan Mims has pro- duced a thirteen part television series titled Road to Avonlea based on the celebrated books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It begins airing on C.B.C. this month and on the Disney Channel in March. Anything based on the writings of Mrs. Mon- tgomery is charming and it's pleasurable to thidr that a series such as this might be a precursor away from so much of the .steamy.. sex exposed on the tube these days. We don't consider ourself prudish but have always believed that the highest expression of physical love should be enjoyed by the partners only. Sermon over; welcome to Avonlea and our thanks to Sullivan Films. RECORD !NEWS: WEA Music of Canada sends along some news from Wander Brothers in Nashville. The newly form- ed Christian label has begun artistic with first releases schedul- ed ed for the second quarter of the year. Three artists already signed are Margaret Bell, Donna McElroy and Take 6. ON RECORD: Of considerably more than esoteric interest is Music of the Brazilian Masters ( Concord Picante). As the title sug- gests this is a collection of short pieces by Brazilian composers. They are played by Laurindo Almeida, Carlos Barbosa- Lima and Charlie Byrd with Larry Grenadier on bass and Michael Shapiro on drums. Technical people are ad- vised that the stereo image is that of Barbosa-lima on left, Almeida in centre and Byrd on the right. All guitars are acoustic; Mr. Barbosa-Lima plays a Thomas Humphrey, Mr. Almeida a Takamine Ego and Mr. Byrd a Kohnto 30. Now forget all that and just enjoy the music. There are those who maintain that there is no such thing as a national characteristic in musical composition. We disagree and as a measure of proof offer this album. The music in it could not possibly be anything but Brazilian or at least South American. We are not a musicologist and cannot of- fer thio technical terms that refer to delayed beats, bridged chords and the like; we can only repeat that the music herein is quintessentially that of the South Americans. And it is played impec- cably. Each of the three guitarists respect each other -that's manifest -and the solo passages are honoured by all. it is in ensemble however, that the full artistry of the com- posers and the artists thrill the ear and the emotions. Many of the compositions were hitherto unknown to us but among those familiar is Baia given a full five minute enthralment. We fell in love with the music as a child when it was featured in a Disney film Saludos Amigos. In a lifetime of Clearing it, this version is far and away the best we've ever heard. Also commended for par- ticular attention is Valsa de Esquina. Music of the Brazilian Masters is war- ranted to put every listener in a good mood. Now, if on- ly some airplay could be possible... IN PRINT: Searching for the Emperor (Andrd Deutsch/Collins) was published in Italy and, we are told, isthe firm of his novels to be translated into English. One rather hopes it will be the last. One should not comment at the writing style since we are not aware of how good or bad is the transla- tion. We do not hesitate to state though, that the story line is dreary to the point of depression. The time is that of the Russian revolution. One Prince Ypsilanti hearing of the Tsar's arrest puts his regiment together and sets out across Siberia to save him. Obviously they don't save the Tsar. Instead the regiment marches for years through Siberia because (a) no one knows where the Tsar and his family have been taken and (b) the regiment doesn't know where it is. It could almost be funny in a macabre sort of way but it isn't. it is quite simp- ly im -ly and unremittingly dull. It took all our concentra- tion to finish the book. Perhaps there is merit here that we have missed but for comparative excite- ment we'll take Pilgrim's FAST EXIT: "I struggle to be brief and I become obscure...

Staff from The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will be available at the open houses to discuss the concept plan.

Silent Ischemia The fit, 40 -something squash player, who recent- ly received a clean bill of health from his doctor, sud- denly drops dead on the squash court. No warning, no symptoms, no pain. What happened to this seemingly healthy person? Silent ischemia is the name of this recently discovered serious medical condition which silently damages the heart and can ultimately lead to heart at- tack or death. It is a mute form of angina ( chest pain) which occurs when the heart muscle fails to get enough blood. Usually a reduced flow of blood to the heart causes chest pain known as angina, but with silent ischemia, for some unknown reason it does not. In fact, because there is no pain or other symptoms, doctors for some time re- mained unconvinced that the condition even existed' But recent research has proven that it does exist and hits a group of adults over the age of 35. About 50 to 60 percent of those who already suffer from angina (in Canada that's 1.2 million people), will ex- J.E.

Anyone with business contacts in Hong Kong should note the Manges in- cluding former 6 -digit numbers will simply incor- porate the area code as the first digit.

Jan. 10, 1940Ctravelj _o Fun At Holetown Festival February in Barbados marks the annual Holetown Festival. Launched in 1977 to commemorate the first settlement on Barbados in 1627 by a band of English sailors, this vibrant festival is laced with history. Holetown, formerly call- ed Jamestown, after the then King of England is located on the west coast of Barbados. It is at this site where the Holetown Festival unfolds. From Feb. 18-25, 1990 locals and visitors celebrate the 17th century landing of those English sailors. "Feb.`20th is the date we understand that they landed,.. says Alfred Pragnell, actor, dramatist and joint organizer of the festival. In 1977, Mr. Pragnell took the festival idea to Keith Simmons, lawyer, parliamentarian and resi- dent of St. James. the parish where Holetown is situated. Together, with a local community group, they mobilized support for the festival. The Methodist and Anglican Churches on the main thoroughfare in Holetown are used for classical music perfor- mance by the best local talent. At the nearby communi- ty centre and St. James Secondary School, calypso singing, popular and 'tuk' music are featured. The world renowned Royal Bar- bados Police Band and the Royal Barbados Mounted Police provide memorable tattoos in the heart of Holetown. Yet the hub of the con- tinuous activity of the week-long festival is at the monument in Holetown which was erected at the site where, legend says, the exploring English sailors landed. Along the street leading from the monu- ment and on the surroun- ding lawns and car parks, festival goers can enjoy crafts, live cultural perfor- mances, fashion and food. The Holetown Festival Committee is working to expand the celebrations. In additionefforts are under- vr-av to further preserve and restore the historic ar- chitecture and cultural landmarks of Barbados' first town.

This last minute panic can be eliminated very easily through better record keeping. Keeping up-to-date, accurate finan- cial records is an essential part of developing a com- prehensive personal finan- cial plan, according to cer- tified general accountants surveyed for this column. And, it could save you valuable time and money. Accurate records are also essential to give a fac- tual account of earnings and income on your tax return.

Most people use a chequing account and let the bank do the lion's share of their work for them. What type of account you choose varies according to your particular needs. It's helpful to have the kind of account that returns your cancelled cheques. Cancelled cheques - along with original receipts - should be saved since they provide a record of major purchases for warranties, legal purposes and evidence of tax deductible items. Once you've set up your chequing account, it's im- portant to track your ex- penses and earnings by reconciling your state- ment. When you do your reconciliation is a matter of preference.

You should keep all records of transactions especially credit card ex- penditures along with a comprehensive list of ac- count numbers and phone numbers if the cards are ever stolen. For tax purposes you should keep all original records relating to income and expenses. Income records include such things as T-4 slips, capital gains records, real estate rental income, interest income, alimony receipts, child support payments, unemployment insurance benefits and any self employment income. On the expense side, you should keep records relating to retirement pian contributions, alimony payments. medical and dental expenses, charitable contributions. casualty and theft losses, and unreim- bursed business expenses. Once you've got your financial files organized be sure to keep them stored in a safe and secure place. In some instances it's ad- visable to keep records in a safety deposit box at your local bank.

The reform is designed to main- tain the independence of Ontario's seniors and people with physical disabilities, support their family caregivers and strengthen the ability of communities to plan and manage responsive services. Its approach is consistent with the work of the Premier's Council on Health Strategy which has called for enhanced community-based support and better co-ordination of health and social services. The government has consulted with people who use and provide the services in corn- munities throughout Ontario, discussed its directions with provincial organizations and held an internal review to make sure those plans are both viable and affordable. The government will create new service access agencies to simplify both the process of finding appropriate in-home services and the process of having someone admitted to a long term care facility. Through these agencies, people will be able to find the help they need in one place instead of go- ing through a long period of searching for the answer through a myriad of sources. A new funding system will also be introduced for all homes for the aged and all nursing homes. Under the new system, payments will vary, depending on the level of care required by residents in the home. To avoid administrative confusion and duplication, the Ministries of Health and Community and Social Services are establishing a single inter -ministry structure to manage the reformed long term care system. both provin- cially and at the local level. An Assistant Deputy Minister of Cbmmunity Services has been appointed and will report jointly to that ministry and the Ministry of Health. A full integrated in-home support program for seniors and disabled people will be developed. This new program will provide a wide array of services to assist people to be independent in their homes. . Existirig services like the Ministry of Health's Home Care Program and my Ministry's Integrated Homemaker Program, will be brought together, as the core of a new con- solidated oo-solidated in -bane support program. As a result, services will be available with fewer barriers between agencies, mimstries and professiot>Ls," said Charles Beer, Minister of Community and Social Services. Finally. home support services run by commuruity agen- cies, like Meals on Wheels and Friendly Visiting, will be ex- panded. A more complete range of services will be developed throughout the province, looking toward greater multicultural imrolvement. Implement of changes will begin in some communities by the fall of 1990. Long term care legislation is also being prepared for presentation to the House at the same time. ..Working with our partners in the community, we're determined to put in place a coherent and carefully design- ed system of long term care for senior citizens and people with disabilities throtighout Ontario,.' said Mr. Beer. The Ontario Government will continue to seek the uVtd of consumers, providers and communities. It will also work closely with municipalities, continuing the co-operation already established by the Provincial -Municipal Social Ser- vices Review. Presently, the Ontario Government is working on a detailed strategic pian, which it pians to release early next spring. Its release will signal the beginning of intensive pro- vincial and local consultation and planning. Some aspects of the consultation process will start im- mediately. Within the next few weeks, committees will be established made up of government, service providers and consumers, to help the government establish detailed policies in four key areas. These four areas are: a new classification system to aid in making funding decisions for Nursing Homes and Hanes for the Aged; the design of the new service access agen- cies; the guidelines for new community and in -hone ser- vice; and the role of chronic care facilities within the reformed long term care system. 'Reform of such scope will not be easy, but the result will be a much improved system of long term care, said Mr. Beer. It will support and strengthen opportunities for com- munity living, so that senior citizens and people with disabilities will be better able to remain in their homes and communities, close to family and those citizens who require support."
