Auto Insurance Scheme Working After One Year One year ago, the previous Ontario government introduc- ed a new auto insurance system, called the Ontario Motorist Protection Plan (OMPP). All of the signs to date show that OMPP is working well for Ontario drivers. Take the case of a 35 -year old farmer from northern On- tario. During the winter, he had a terrible accident. He lost control of his vehicle when he hit black ice on the highway. The vehicle rolled and the farmer suffered a fractured back. Under the pre -DMPP insurance system, this man would have received only $140 a week for lass of income. He could not have sued anygne for more because there was no other vehicle involved: And yet, hitting black ice on a winter highway is not thetdriver's fault. With OMPP ih place, the farmer was considerably more fortunate. Based on the farmer's business income of $100.000 over the previous year, his insurance company paid benefits of $600 a week for loss of income. Had the farmer chosen to purchase additional income insurance, he could have received lass of income benefits of $1,050 per week. The farmer continued to receive $600 each week for the several months that he would not work. Best of all, he started to receive benefits within ben days of filing his claim. OMPP guarantees that anyone injured in a car crash will receive benefits to cover income loss, no matter who caused the accident. Only people convicted of impaired driving are excluded. Income replacement benefits are 8o per cent of gross income, up to a maximum of $600 a week, tax free. High earners can buy additional coverage providing weekly benefits of $750, $900 or $1,050. Retired people, students or those without jobs are eligible for benefits of $185 a ween. Payments begin within ten to 30 days of the relevant information being filed with the insurance corn- pany- In return for fast response and guaranteed compensation, the ability to sue for additional compensation is restricted under the new system. Lawsuits are permitted only in cases of death and serious personal injuries. Because fault is no longer an issue in the settlement of person injury claims, people receive guaranteed benefits even when no one was to blame for an accident. For example, a 64 -year old pedestrian slipped on ice in Hamilton and fell under a moving car. The victim broke both legs and had other minor injuries. Neither he nor his Wife own a car and because he is retired, under the old system he would not have received income replacement benefits. However. with OMPP. the man received $185 a week as well as medical and rehabilitation benefits up to $1 million. Additional benefits up to $3.000 a month assist the victim's wife in caring for him. Even the cost of building a ramp to provide wheelchair access to the family hone was covered by OMPP. Jack Lyndon, President of the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the association representing Ontario auto in- surers, says, ..Ontario consumers are pleased with OMPP. Most people are impressed with the speed of the responses they receive to their claims. Consumers are also satisfied with the level of benefits. Overall, there are very few com- p.., The experience of the Hamilton Automobile Club demonstrates the common experience. Richard Kongdon, president of the club says. "Since the new auto istrance scheme began in July 1990. the Hamilton Automobile Club has received only a handful of complaints about it. Prior to July 1990, each year we received complaints by the thousands.'. Perhaps the biggest benefit of OMPP is just now beginn- ing to be seen. After years of skyrocketing costs, claims are now being settled quickly in a more predictable manner. Before. many personal injury claims ended up in court, where the size of settlements varied substantially and, often, several years passed before cases were settled. Restricting the right to sue has helped to stabilize the cost of settling claims, which in turn, stabliizes car insurance premiums. Auto insurance companies have now had a year of ex- penennce with the new system. Because costs have cone down, many companies are looking at passing savings on to consumers through premium reductions. Four major com- panies have already announced their intentions to cut rates: State Farm by eight per cent, Allstate by 6.3 per cent, and Royal Insurance and Dominion of Canada by five per cent. Mr. Lyndon says, "It's ironic that just as evidence is mounting to show how well OMPP is working for Ontario drivers, the government seems determined to change the system again. But this time, it's for purely ideological reasons rather than for any real benefits to Ontario con- sumers. " The government has indicated that they will introduce major changes to OMPP in the fall. Although no specific plans have yet been announced, the government has previously stated -that it intends to set up a government - Here and There The Faces of Poverty A young man from New Brunswick trudges the streets of Montreal looking for work. A single mother in Edmonton wonders how she'll pay for cough syrup for her two-year old, with the next welfare cheque stili two weeks off. A 50 -year old Oshawa metal worker wonders where he'll find work now that his factory has closed. A 75 -year old widow in Halifax stares at the walls of her bed -sitting room. The raging recession is throwing more and more Cana- dian families into poverty and threatening many others with the same fate. It is time for us as a nation to unders- tand better what poverty is and how we can deal with it. - Ish Theilheimer, Editor "Transition". June Resale Exceed 1990 Volumes Twenty-two of Canada's 25 major markets posted resale housing gains this June over last year, says The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) . In the centres surveyed, a total of 17,703 homes traded hands during the month, an increase of 5,577 units or 46.0 percent compared with last year's figure of 12,126 sales. A Friend In Need More than 1.20 Ontario Hydro line and forestry staff responded to a plea for help from New York state when high winds and freezing rain knocked out power to more than 100,000 Niagara Mohawk Power customers during the early days of March. A late winter storm vented its full wrath on the south shore of Lake Ontario, playing havoc with the electrical system in the northeastern area of New York. Downed lines due to ice buildup and fallen trees resulted in widespread blackouts lasting several days before service was restored. Niagara Mohawk President John Endnes thanked Hydro staff for their help in a letter to Hydro President Robert Franklin. "Your company's timely response to our call for assistance and the hard work and long hours put in by your crews contributed significantly to our ability to restore ser- vice as quickly as we did," he wrote. Sexy Cyclists If you're a fan of cycling. chances are your sex life is in great shape. reports the Reebok Information Bureau. In a study of 1.675 readers of "Bicycling Magazine", two-thirds said cycling made them better lovers, and almost half said they had experienced an increased sex drive since they started cycling. Though respondents didn't say why they thought they were better lovers, researchers theorize sexiness is a logical byproduct of the improved self-image which stenns from regular exercise. Additional $7.5 Million For Arts An additional $7.5 million to the base operating grant of the Ontario Arts Council by the Government of Ontario has been made_ OAC recently received a cosi of living increase of $1.5 million, or 4.2%, bringing its base from $34.5 million in 1990 91 to $36 million in 1991.92. This additional $7.5 million, an increase of 20.8, now brings OAC's base for 1991 92 to $43.5 million_ Lottery Profits Top $500 Million Ontario Lottery Corporation IOLCi profits reached $508 mnillion dollar3 in the year ending Mar. 31, 1990, the fust time annual profits totalled more than a half -billion dollars. Lottery sales, prizes and profits all reached new record levels during the year. Cash sales were $1.32 billion up $19 million. Prizes totalled 3622.1 million up $13.9 million and Operating expenses were 6.7% of cash sales or $88.2 million. STATFACTS Canada's visible minorities are increasingly making their presence felt in the Canadian labour fore. Statistics Canada reports that of the 13 million labour force par- ticipants in Canada in 1986, 832,000 were visible minorities. Democracy is only as good as the individual citizen.

They don't need to own car insurance to make changes. Experience has shown that public insurers in other provinces are not able to provide customers with cheaper rates. Yet, con- sumers give up the variety of products available and the freedom to choose which company they deal with.., An IBC study indicates that setting up a public insurance company could cost as much as $1 billion and result in the loss of up to 4,000 industry jobs and as many as 4,000 more to industry brokers and suppliers. Most of the people who will lose their jobs will be women, who make up the majority of the industry's work force. Many industry jobs are in smaller urban centres where alternative employment may not be available. r--______________________________________-- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Sept. 19th at 7:30 p.m. Parents and children are invited to attend and learn first-hand about this innovative, world-renowned method of teaching mathemat;cs to children. Instructor Bobbie France will be available to enrol students and answer The Kumon Method, a proven Japanese system, is designed for students of all abilities in math. The method allows children to solve problems by themselves and progress at their own pace through a series of individual worksheets - covering pre- school level through to calculus - until the work is perfect and completely understood within a specific time frame. Free from classmate pressure, each child starts at his/her own level of com- fort and smoothly pro- gresses to the next level as the math problems gradually increase in dif- ficulty. Students can pro- gress beyond their school grade at their own pace and according to their own scholastic abilities. Other Kumon Math Cen- tres in North York are located at Leslie and Mnch, Yonge and Finch, and Don Mills and Shep- pard. The cost is $55 per month. "If children acquire a good understanding of math when they are young, It will be much easier for them to handle high school level math," said Instruc- tor Bobbie France. -Kumon helps the c bildrert with their regular school math by reinforcing the has and giving them an individual study pian that they may require." North York resident Maria Mindsunthy, whose daughters Andrea, 13, and Nicole, 10, attended the Don Mills.Sheppard Math Centre this past scbod year, agreed. -We believe Kumon made a difference in both the girls' math abilities, " she said. "Not only did their math im- prove, but because they were able to solve the pro- blems more easily over time, their confidence definitely built up." Developed in Japan more than 33 years ago, the Kumon Method is the largest math learning system in the world and has helped more than seven million children aged four to 15, across the globe. Currently, almost two million children are suc- cessfully studying math through this sytem in 20 countries worldwide. In Metropolitan Toronto alone, there are more than 30 after-school Kumon Math Centres and three more are opening in September. Introduced into Canada 11 years ago, the method is now studied by 8,000 students in more than 80 Kumon Math Centres across the country. Active Parenting Active Parenting is a 12 week program presented by the Scarborough Health Department that focuses on important issues for parents of children three to ten years. Topics covered include self esteem, discipline, safety and communication with your child. Parents are invited to enroll for the September sessions by calling 3964228. -There is a $20 fee for books. bazaars at the Metro Legion to help raise funds for the veterans.

RRSP'S: Look Before You Leap With all types of RRSPs on the market today, constuners face a difficult choice when deciding how to invest their money. Look at a number of factors before making a deci- sion. Find out what it costs to get into a particular plan and what it costs each year to stay in it. Get the facts about tax penalties for withdrawing money from the plan or the cost of converting it to annuity income. Finally, look at the rates your money will earn while it is in the plan. In doing so, you should consider the following: RISKS INVOLVED Do you want security for your capital and guaranteed in- terest rates? Do you want input in investment decisions? Usually the higher the return on your plan the greater the risk. CHARGES What charges will you be expected to pay? These vary ac- cording to the type of plan and the institution. PLAN OPTIONS Are there investment options offered within the plan? What payment methods are available and how flexible are may? REPUTATION Know the performance record of the institution you have chosen for your RRSP. DISCOUNTS ON PURCHASING A PAY -OUT ANNUITY Does the institution offer an income bonus if you convert your accumulated RRSP to annuity payments at retire- ment? FINANCIAL PLA.'NNING ASSISTANICE Does the institution offer assistance in planning for retirement? Again, it is important to evaluate the charges which can apply to RR.SPs. A high interest rate on your savings is of little benefit if it is offset by excessive service charges. The most common types of charges you may be required to pay are front-end loads, redemption charges, early withdrawal penalties, management charges and transaction fees. Consult an expert to determine which plan best suits your needs.

September 4, 1991 THE NEWS/POST Pages First Shelter For Assaulted Women In East York i The YWCA of Metropolitan Toronto is opening the first shelter for assaulted women and their children in the City of East York. The YWCA Women's Shelter will host an open house on Tues. Sept. 10th from 1 to 5 p.m. There will be an official ceremony at 1:30 p.m. In partnership with the Ministry of Housing and Ministry of Community MA Social Services, the YWCA worked diligently for two years to create a necessary safe haven that provides safety, and sup. portive counselling to women and children who have experienced emo- tional, physical and/or sex- ual abuse. "There is an enormous need for shelters for women and children who are victims of assault in our community. Most peo- ,ple in Metro Toronto don't .realize there are only ten shelters specifically for !assaulted women with children and none of those are in East York. Now with the opening of the YWCA Women's Shelter, there are 11 shelters in a community of approximately 2.2. million people. When one out of every ten women is assaulted by a husband, boyfriend of common law partner, it is obvious that the need for safe havens is unfortunately great," says Marilda Tselepis, YWCA Housing Director. The YWCA Women's Shelter was originally a farmhouse. The Ministry of Housing invested $1.8 million to renovate and ex- pand the building. It can shelter 25 women and children who can stay up to three months. It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and be operated by experienced counsellors. This also includes child care workers who will at- tend to the special needs of the children who have Agincourt's Alex Davidson Passes Away Alexander Webster F Alex enjoyed poetry, the p. in.

September 4, 1911 Bill Watt's Worlds IN THE CLUBS: There could hardly have been a better choice than Sally Ann Howes as an opening attraction for the Arcadian Court Supper Club. We have long admired this star of the London and Broadway musical stage and deplored the fact that she is probably best recall- ed or thought of as the young lady who replaced Julie Andrews when she left the cast of My Fair Lady. We admired her as a stage performer but had never had the opportunity to hear her as a solo per- former until the opening of 7bronto'a latest and, we suggest, possibly best night club. Comparisons are or- dinarily to be abhorred but bear with us please as we suggest that the years have been kinder to Miss Howes than to Julie Andrews. Her previously and always splendid voice seems to have acquired even greater strength and purity. It soars in the manner of Yma Sumac at her perfor- ming and vocal peak but retains the inflections and interpretations of a very young Hildegarde. Her selection of material is just right for the intend- ed sophistication of the Ar- cadian Court; a nice mix of standards and lesser known works by the masters of popular music. Accompanied only by the piano of Tex Arnold, Miss Registration Information Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Howes offers such gems as Cole Porter's Make It Another Old Fashioned, Neol Coward's Dance little Lady, Irving Berlin's Change Partners and Carol Hall's Old Friend along with such as Duke Ell- ington's Solitude and Mar- vin Hamlisch's The Way We Were. Her best selection, for us, was Sondheim's Losing My Mind. We are not the fan of Sondheim that we should be perhaps but we like that song and are quite in love with the way Miss Howes Heritage Language Instruction Classes begin September 14 If you would like your children to learn or to improve their use of the language of their heritage, you are invited to enrol them in courses provided by the Scarborough Board of Education.

On reflection, we think we're in love with Miss Howes and look for- ward to her return to the room which she has launch- ed so brilliantly. A few words now about the Arcadian Court. Visual- ly it is a Thirties dream; everything we thought we were seeing in the old musicals of Rogers and Astaire. Readers with long memories will recall the Coconut Grove and the Trocaders of Hollywood's glamour years. Well, the Arcadian Court is like them and with an extra touch ... class. The staff is solicitous, the Imen spotless and the flat- ware properly arranged and gleaming. The food from the buffet is ... well, it's safely Toronto and served with efficiency if not blan. The wine list is satisfactory and how plea- sant it is to have a servitor of servitress at immediate hand to poo. As a night club, there are as yet a few rough spots which one supposes will soon receive attention. Doors to serving areas should never be opened while an artist is perform- ing. Table numbers slauld be printed rather than handwritten, unfilled areas of the room should be baffl- ed to prevent echoes and those patrons who must answer nature's call during a perfa mune should be directed discreetly to doors that do not flash light when opened. Speaking of directing, might one suggest that directions to the Arcadian Court be placed throughout the store? For those few who might be unaware, the Arcadian Court Supper Club is on the eighth floor of what is now the Hudson's Bay Downtown store. It has always been there but when a new audience and cusstom is being sought, a few directions might not be amiss. One final suggestion, one that is admittedly being made by a Toronto old boy. Instead of calling it the Ar- cadian Court Supper Club, why not call it simply Simpson's or Simpson's Room? Just a suggestion. The next entertainers to appear will be Leroy and Donna Anderson from the Tommy Hunter Show. We look forward to seeing them. We look forward to becoming a regular at this most attractive supper club. Why not join us? ON RECORD: George Fox is Canada's best male singer. Country music is not really this correspondent's muggatea and so our opi- nions about Country and Western singers should be considered as those of one who listens most critically. Appreciation comes easily, enjoyment, less so. We both appreciate and enjoy the musical offerings of George Fox. Accept then, our recommendation of his album Spice of Life (WFA). It'3 not perhaps memorable but is filled with sound musical values at the same time as it is simple and uncomplicated. Mr. Fox has found his own formula - it's called double beat but is really ac- celerated country waltz - and is wisely sticking to it.

September 4, 19"1 Cemeteries BrinaHistory To Life! by Norm Terry, Manager of Pine Hills Cemetery, Scarborough We were all taught "history" in school. We reeled off dates and Roman battles and sat exams. It was only later on, as adults, that we understood that history is not dry and remote, but all around us. That, in fact, we are mak- ing it every day. Old builings in our city are a visible part of our chronicles. So, too, are older members of the com- munity who pass down old customs and lore. It seems that as the pace of life speeds up, more and more of us are reflecting on our area's memcIrials and old buildings. What we see is that while our backs were turned much chang- ed. New buildings replaced older ones and we seem totally dedicated to pro- gress- That's why cemeteries play such an important role in preserving our history. History in the making is most visible at Pine Hills in the Veteran's Memorial, to which members of the Royal Canadian Legion Zone D-5 make a pilgrimage each September for a special memorial service bonour- ing the memories of former legion members and their families, including many who fell in battle for their country in both world wars and the Korean conflict. The old church cemeteries in Scarborough reflect, in the similarity of design in their monuments, an earlier era when the community was more .homogenous. History in the making at cemeteries like Pine Hills is expressed in modern society's variety of burial Customs, such as the scat- tering of cremated remains in special cemetery gardens and remembrance markers on trees, an ex- presion in some instances of a family's care for the environment. Increasingly, we are see- ing monuments in our cemeteries that recall a person's favorite pastime, or work. One I saw recently depicted a fisherman casting his rod, another, in the shape of a truck wheel, tells passersby about the person's profession. Some monuments tell tragic tales, of people kW - ed in wars, in accidents, by hanging. Within a short time, they become part of our history.

Yes, there are the seekers after the sensa- tional in cemeteries, just as there are among newspaper readers, look- ing for the unusual, the names that made the headlines. Pine Hills has its share of them, but mostly the epitaphs on the markers and monuments bring out into the open sunlight, 365 days a year, names of familes we've known, and somehow forgotten over the years. Some day, the monuments in Pine Hills will produce the same wonder on visitors' faces as do those in the country churchyards over the graves of 18th and 19th cen- tury pioneers.

You've got to figure out how many hours you've got to labour to pay for all the school clothing that your kids need. Or say they need. We figure that our son Kyle grew two inches over the summer, judging from how much ankle is showing at the bottom of his cords. His sister Belinda teased him something fierce until she tried some of her fall things on, and then there was really a major hoo-ha. Their assorted shrieks of dismay reminded me of my wife Em's Wedding Dress Diet. Em made a New Year's resolu- tion last January to lose a few pounds so she could fit into her wedding dress again. Em was successful, but Belinda and Kyle have simply got a whop- ping case of teenage -itis that they won't get over for about four years. In the meantime, Kyle will be well-prepared for floods. Anyway, last week I talked about energy-efficient lighting, having recently come across a pamphlet from The Hydro in my basement ramblings. While I probably won't save enough to buy the kids' new wardrobe, you really can save energy and money by using energy-efficient lighting. In recent years there have been big advancements in fluorescent lighting technology. The long standard fluorescent tubes that you're probably familiar with have been made smaller so that they fit into standard light fix- tures. Not only that, a 15 -watt compact fluorescent bulb will give you the same light as a standard 60 -watt incandescent bulb, while using 60 to 80 per- cent less energy. While it does cost more, the compact fluorescent will give you from five to nine years of heavy use and more than pay for itself as far as energy dollars saved goes. You also save the cost of buying replacement bulbs. For lights that are on for four hours a day or more, the lower energy consumption and dura- bility of compact fluorescents make a real difference - espe- cially for fixtures that are awk- ward to get at. Before you buy, though, remember that compact fluorescents are a little larger than regular bulbs. Check your fixture to make sure that you've got adequate clearance. Now, if they could just make pants for teenagers that last as long! This newspaper, in conjunc- tion with Ontario Hydro, is bringing you Phil's Basement to help "bring home" ideas on how to save energy. To receive the brochure "Bright Ideas For Energy Efficient Light- ing", call Ontario Hydro at I- 800-263-9000 and tell them Phil sent you. 12 THE NEWS! POST Wed.

New tax saving tip for retirees by Marc Vernier Roger and Barb Smite arc worried. They're worried be- cause they will join more than one million Canadiaps between 55 and 70 years old who arc retiring over the next five years and they are searching for the best way to convert their sav- ings into a stream of regular income- Like their peers, they're worried about the threats that inflation, taxes and interest rates pose to their retire- ment income. They've also seen the statis- tics from tables which state more than one in four individu- als, aged 65 today, will still he alive at 90. And they've heard the sombre forecasts which question the federal govern- ment's capability to pay future social security benefits INVESTMENT OPTIONS Until recently, RRIFs and an- nuities were the only game in town if Roger and Barb wanted tax shheliered benefits to con - time after the oawersion of their registered retirement sav- ings plans into a regular in- come. Tints year, bur the fust time, they will have a third fi- nancial option to oomsidcr. This is the Life Income Ac- count (LIA), an innovative RRSP maturity option, which provides income beyond age 90 - like an annuity - while having the flexibility - like a RRIF - of having access to funds upon request. By combining the ad- vantages of an annuity and a RRIF, the LIA acts like an --ev- erlasting bank account," pro- viding guaranteed f cxibk in- come for life. COMPARING THE LLA, ANNt;IT'' AND RRIF With an annuity alone, the Smith's capital would typically be locked in. making it difficult and often, literally impossible to cash in should a lump sum be COMMON BENEFITS OF POPULAR '.MATURITY � OPTIONS J OPTIONS RRIF LA LIA Guaranteed Lifetime Income - y y Maximum Lifetime Income - y I y Flexible Cash Withdrawal Y - Y Estate Value y y Guaranteed Interest Rate for Life y I y RRIF - Registered Retirement Income Fund LA - Lifetime Annuity LIA - Life Income Account --- BE AGINCOURT BOAT AND POWER WISE SAIL SQUADRON Leam safe boating the easy way.

MASHINTER 5124)440 or Headquarters 2932438 New Homecleaning Service Visiting Homemakers Association ( VHA) has launched a new homeelean- ing service. This service is not only for the handicap- ped, frail or elderly, but is being made available to all residents in specific com- munities on a fee for ser- vice basis. The program is designed to be the optimal cleaning service. The conventional package is available: cleaning kitchen and required on short notice: with the RRIF alone, there would be no income after age 90. But, if they use their $200.000 savings for a $100,000 Life Income Ac- count plus a $100,000 RRIF instead of just the RRIF, the LIA would continue to provide them with more than $10,000 per year after age 90 without im- pairing their CPP (Canada Pen- sion Plan) and other pension income. In addition to its longevity and flexibility, the LIA shelters retirement funds to the same extent as a RRIF or an annuity: hollers only pay tax on income received: funds in the account continue to cam interest free of tax. HON' THE LLA WORK -S If Barb wishes to open a LIA free of tax, she could do so b,, simply converting a portion, or all, of her RRSP The LIA re- sembles a bank account in that the deposit earns interest and Barb has access to the funds for withdrawal. Like an annuity, the acaxhnt pays her a guaranteed income payment at the frc- qucncy she prefers for as long as she lives. Another advantage of the LIA is that she can choose an option where the income will continue to Roger should she predecease him. However, if money in addition to the income is withdrawn, then the ongoing monthly income will be reduced accordingly. Upon request, Barb can transfer her LIA to another plan. When she dies, any remaining account balance will be paid to her bcmfwimv. Generally in the time period between 12 - 20 years after issue, the monthly payments will eventually exhaust the ac- count, bw the LIA guarantees income for life. SHOP WISELY Retirement is commonly re- ferred to as the Golden ''cars. At this time, people, like the Smiths, face what may be the largest investment decision of their lives. Before making that decision, they owe it to them- selves to compare the benefits of all the latest retirement op. tions, like the LIA, to determine which plan is best suited to their health and lifestyle todav and their plans for the future.
