The reading covered poems from his four published works, including his most recent book The Weight of My Raggedy Skin as well as even more recent unpub- lished material. Zieroth’s poetry is, for the most part, the poetry of everyday experi- ence and his language is the lan- guage of understatement Nevertheless, he very ably spun that magical web which is the very essence of poetry — an atmo- sphere at whose core is the serious contemplation of that which is at once ordinary and extraordinary. Over the course of the hour reading, Zieroth covered what he considered to be his major themes: nature, the family, committee meet- ings and spirituality. The theme of nature and also that of spirituality are no doubt traditional themes for poetry, family life and committee meetings are, however, rather stranger fare. For this listener it was the family material which really shone. Dale has managed to find a language which is able to capture the every- day nature of the interchanges between fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, the everyday dra- mas of babies and -piano lessons, which at the same time lets these events lead in a manner, at once unprepossessing and almost ceremo- nial, to more existential concems. The family becomes the matrix within which the spiritual necessi- ties of the individual are registered.

The temporal progression of his work is, in Zieroth’s own eyes, NOW SHOW! ING! lac (nie Seah Jara Parer from this concern with human rela- tionships, as material for poetry, to a concern with the traditional imagery of spirituality as inner experience. The highlight of the reading for this listener was a series of five poems entitled “The Mother Prone.” These poems definitely benefited from being read aloud — the speaking voice grounding, what on the page, might appear some- what disjointed. The wandering consciousness of an older woman, her major role as mother no longer relevant, living now on the i of her family and life comes poignantly alive. The opening poem of the seri- ous begins: “Now I'm off my feet/I can’t tell who's opening and clos- ing the fridge.” It is such trivia which is the measure of The poet's voice (which in this case is the voice of the mother) is a nostalgic voice, a voice open to both being and loss. The mode of personal remem- brance in tie form of an internal dialogue allows the poet to break up the continuity of the poem, allows him to jump around from place to place from subject to subject. By firmly anchoring the place of the action — the mind of the mother — time becomes more fluid. Also of interest, although they did not work quite so well were the poems about committees, about being with people in meeting, about the narrowness within which shuman desire can be contained. The theme is difficult — treating as it must the intimate politics of desire in one of its most institution- alized forms. This does not mean that it should not be attempted — one can only hope that desire will not adjust too easily to these con- fines. That is, in fact, the feeling which one was left with — a feel- ing that the human spirit will not to any numbness but that it will be led into and out of the traps it sets itself. In Dale Zieroth's work the spirit of poetry, which is the spirit of speech between people, remains very much alive. Dale Zieroth’s reading was the first of five readings sponsored by the Languages and Literature Department at Selkirk College with the assistance of the Canada Coun- cil. The next reading is by Geoff Goodfellow, an Australian poet whose work is broadly concerned with social consciousness. Good- fellow will read at Selkirk College, October 21 before going to the Writer's Conference in Vancouver. AT THE MOVIES Listen to the beat!

You always need expert advice to decide if a trust would be beneficial and if so, to avoid the various tax and other traps.” An inter vivos trust is set up while you are alive; a testamen- tary trust is created following death. Testamentary trusts are particularly common when one or both parents die, leaving money or other assets to minor children for whom a trust must be set up through a will. The trust can con- tinue even after the children reach the age of majority. Our annual series of tax plan- ning columns continues with some tips about trusts-but as Luongo stressed, getting expert advice is important. His com- ments here refer to Canadian resi- dents and income tax. “A small business owner or somebody with substantial invest- ments who is a parent often wants to share future growth with the children - and limit his (or her) tax liability at the same time,” Luongo said. “An estate freeze is the most popular way to accomplish this. It Ives the issuing of di classes of shares so the parents freeze the value of the company into preference shares while the children acquire common shares with a nominal value which will inc plitting opp ities and reduce tax at death. Mike Grenby Syndicated Columnist “But if the children are minors, you may need to set up an inter vivos trust so the parents can still exercise some control. This is also important if there should be a breakdown in an adult child's marriage.” Luongo stressed the impor- tance of structuring such a trust carefully. “Otherwise, the income and capital gains earned by the trust could be attributed back to the parents,” he said. A trust is usually treated as a separate taxpayer, paying tax after claiming deductible expens- es from its income. An inter vivos trust pays tax at the top per- sonal rate on any income not dis- tributed. “By filing a preferred benefi- ciary election, it is possible to have the trust’s income taxed in the hands of the beneficiaries - even though the money is not dis- tributed to them,” said Luongo. On the other hand, a testamen- tary trust pays tax as an individu- al does, with the same graduated rates of tax. “If a spousal trust is properly structured, for example, income can be split between the surviving spouse and the trust so that both may use the lower tax brackets,” Luongo said. If a trust earns Canadian divi- dends and pays them to a benefi- ciary, then the beneficiary may claim the dividend tax credit. A testamentary trust is often set up through a will for children, Providing regular income plus perhaps percentages of the capital at different ages - 19, 25 and 35, for example. “Spouse trusts are useful for both general and tax planning,” Luongo said. “The terms of the trust must specify that only the spouse may receive income or capital from the trust until the spouse's death. “If you leave, your assets directly to your spouse instead of a spouse {rust, your spouse can then determine what happens to these assets following his or her death. With the spouse trust, you decide what happens.” If you remarry, you can use a spouse trust on your death to make sure your children or other relatives receive some or all of your assets following your spouse's death. Otherwise, your spouse could leave those assets to his or her beneficiaries. “Special rules allow a tax deferred rollover of property - typically stocks and revenue property - to a spouse trust,” said Luongo. “When property passes to a spouse or spouse trust, it may be transferred at its tax cost rather Sign, sign, everywhere a sign As the leader of about eight vehicles headed to Trail in the mid afternoon of a bright sunshiny Kootenay autumn day, I was aware that the sunshine would play havoc with my ability to see any great distances. At least two vehicles behind me didn't want me leading the pack and were anxious to take over. One of them was the semi right behind me The Crew Working Ahead road signs, placed so well in advance of the truck that I couldn’t see the crew or maintenance truck any- where, told me that I should slow down. Having been caught by that trick before (only to discover no crews or crews on coffee or lunch break), I slowed down a bit. As I spotted a big blob on the road about 300 yards away the semi was breathing down my neck. It was hard to tell what was hap- pening. There was no traffic com- ing towards us and no one ahead of me. There was a maintenance truck in my lane with flashing yel- turned out to be a flagger, parallel with the back of the truck, in the on-coming traffic lane. As we approached I knew I was in trouble. The flagger suddenly jumped onto the back of the truck and the truck started moving. The blackness of the back of the truck enveloped the flagger and the dis- Marilyn Strong Community Business appearing act for both flagger and sign would make Doug Henning proud.
