Rosenberg was born in L.A. and moved to Vancou- ver in 1970. He studied photo journal ism and focussed on street pictures, exhibiting and pub lishing in photo magazines. Rosenberg moved to the Kootenays in 1983 and came in off the street, photogra phically speaking. The Koot- enays changed his life. He opened a studio and he and his partner decided to raise a family (two boys to date). His photography changed. Rather than the “sneak and shoot” of street photography, CO NOOR ICH Se en ae) ENTERTAINMENT Nelson artist opens exhibit in Kaslo he concentrates now on faces. They are the same faces as those people on the street but without the surround- ings. The essential face is taken out of the environment with no added information in the picture of who, what, when and where, His interest in faces has to do with, he says, the quality of being human and what that means. Rosenberg says that he cannot help but see himself in his subjects. This relationship between the photographer and the subject is what makes Rosen- berg’s portraits so alive and moving. The show runs until June 19 at the Langham Centre. Burr bitter over series Raymond Burr, who has successfully revived his role as Perry Mason for television movies, ‘recalls with some bitterness his treatment and the character during the heyday of the series. “Mason never one, in nine years, had a sense of humor,” he said. “Mason, never once, in nine years, had a single good friend.” During the Mason years, 1957-1966, Burr lived in a spartan bungalow at the studio to save travel time, rising at 3:30 -a.m. and quitting work at 7:30 p.m., he said in an interview pub- lished in next week's TV Guide. Near the end of his ninth season, he orally agreed to a 10th and final season. “Nothing about that end was nice,” Burr said. “I had a watch on that they'd bought for Mason five or six years before, which I wore on the pth iA (2) NDS show, and I was in my dress- ing room for no more than 10 minutes (after the last scene) before they came over and asked for the watch.

Runs good, some rust, an experimental play performed by Theatre Energy in Nelson looks at aging and attitudes about the process of growing up and growing old. (From left) Susie O'Donnell and Moira Mulholland. By KATHY ARMSTRONG We all do it, yet it's not something many people look forward to. It comes on slowly, like rust, and shows up in attitudes. Not just our own, but in the way others treat us. Runs G Theatre until . Some Rust, playing ‘at the Capitol unday, addresses the subject of aging. Written, performed and produced by Theatre Energy, Runs Good. Some Rust looks at the process of growing up from an “inside” view of zits, to the first kiss, the fear of aging, to death itself. From its very inception, a mere six weeks ago, Runs Good. Some Rust was an experiment. The show is a series of vignettes created by a collective of the cast; Nicola Harwood, Lyle Moon, Moira Mulholland and Susie O'Donnell, contributing writer Caroline Woodward and director Meredith Bain Woodward, complete with original music played by Jenn Raine. The posters were designed by Leni Normington. Woodward was skeptical about the reception of the show. “Most people come to the theatre expecting to see a play with a beginning, middle and end. This one doesn't.” Are Nelsonites ready for this kind of experimenta. tion? Obviously. They laughed, clapped and wept as the characters changed from young to old and back again, The theme of birthdays ran through the show as a symbol of aging. Balloons adorned the set which was designed simplistically by Harwood to hold such symbols of aging as presents, a party dress, hobby horse and walking canes. The audience was told that “mirrors never lie,” and “I've still got it. It's just a little harder to find.” As the script was being written, research was done into the subject of aging. Several of the skits touched on the increase in health problems, with failing hearing and Alzheimer’s disease and institutionalization. They touched on mothers as children were first going off to school, then to college with the myth that we have to be “properly brought up” to have “jobs with a future” such as those “with the Ministry of Highways.” Joining the rat race, the three aspects of life, ages six, 60 and 26, were expected to run around the stage; six protested, 26 pulled, “But I had my own life to lead,” and 60 was torn. “My god, 60, how did that happen?” Fear, symbolized by a punk in a bad dream, was overcome with the promise, “Til be back to see you again,” as the hair gets a little greyer. In Runs Good. Some Rust old people are not put down because of their age, rather encouraged to withstand it with dignity and a greater understanding amongst the youngers generations that aging is in everyone's future. No matter how old one is, life must be lived to the fullest. The theme perhaps evolved from the last play performed by Theatre Energy, Odd Jobs, was treated in a new experimental way. It's a great show that all ages will enjoy. Considering the short time taken to put the show together and the originality of the vignettes, Runs Good. Some Rust has quality that could only be improved with age. As the two older women waiting at a bus stop conclude. “The bus is like us. Runs good, some rust.” Writers approve contract LOS ANGELES (REU- TER) — Striking scriptwri ters have voted to approve contracts with 73 indepen. dent producers, including the makers of televsiion shows starring Johnny Carson and Bill Cosby, union officials said.

RETURN CALGARY- Leaf Travel TORONTO $22 ““Simply Good Food" Te mata oueite Eggs Benedict — $3.95 BUSINESS COMPOUND INTEREST IS MAGIC By KAREN LEWIS Canadian If you're looking for a simple way to get the most out of your savings, make use of the magic of compound interest — or earning interest on your interest, Say you invest $1,000 at 10 per cent interest, compounded annually. At the end of three years you'd have $1,331. However, if you spent the $100 in interest each year instead of reinvesting it, you'd miss the extra $31 earned through compound interest. J “The difference is not mind-blowing,” says Arthur Drache, an Ottawa-based tax lawyer and-author. But the bigger the sum and the longer and more frequently it's compounded, the larger the pile of money you'll end up with. BEST IN RRSP Compounding works its most potent magic inside a tax shelter, like a registered retirement savings plan. In part, that's because under federal tax reform, the taxman no longer allows Canadians to earn $1,000 in interest tax-free. Starting with the 1988 taxation year, interest becomes part of taxable income and must be reported at least every three years. In his financial planning guide, Dollars and Sense, Drache gives a dramatic example of the benefits of starting early to save in an RRSP and winning big with compound interest. If at age 25 you put $1,000 into a plan that compounds at 10 per cent annually, you'd have $45,249 at age 65. However, if you wait and put that $1,000 away when you're 40, it would only grow to $10,834 by the time you turn 65. USE BABY BONUS Jeff Halpern, director of retirement and advisory services at Royal Trust, says another way to get the benefits of compounding — without any tax burden — is to make good use of baby bonuses. For one thing, they can be invested in a registered education savings plan. Contributions to such a plan are not tax deductible — as they would be in an RRSP — but earnings within the plan are sheltered from tax until the money is paid out to the child. The child than pays the tax. be taxed. $16,627, says Halpern. to us, so I system.” But the power of compound interest can work against you. Consider a home mortgage, for example. In the book Building Wealth, author and broadcaster Gordon Pape uses the example of a $60,000 mortgage op a townhouse at an initial rate of 10% per cent. Z Alternatively, the baby bonuses can be deposited in a trust account or invested in trust. Any interest income would be the child's, who would not likely earn enough to Let's assume you're getting $31 each month for your new baby. For the sake of simplicity, say there's no change in the payment and the interest rate is steady at nine per cent. After 18 years, that would add up to SEEMS LIKE GIFT “It may not seem like a lot of money on a monthly basis,” he says, “but to grow that small monthly amount into enough to help finance the children’s post-secondary education, it's a wonderful (thing). “If the government is saying, ‘Here, this is a gift from us to you,’ there aren't that many gifts still available suppose one should take advantage of whatever opportunities still exist in our income tax Press Weekly Stocks VANCOUVER (CP) — Pri- ces were up in heavy trading Friday on the Vancouver " Stock Exchange.

By MARIO POSSAMAI Canadian Press TORONTO — Forget about pointing the finger at unbridled government spending for swelling the federal deficit in the 1980s, suggests a new study published by the Canadian Tax Foundation. “The proclivity of Canadian federal authorities to reduce rather than raise taxes was more to blame,” says the study by Douglas Hartle, a University of Toronto professor who was research director of the influential Carter royal commission on taxation in the 1960s. The budgetary deficit — the difference between total a issue of the 1984 federal election cam; — was a central The shartfall peaked at $38,3 billion in the 1984-85 fiscal year, up from $14.9 billion just three years earlier, but is expected to have dipped to $29.3 billion in the fiscal year which ended last month. Brian Mulroney's Conservatives accused the Liberals, under new leader John Turner, of having lost control of the federal purse strings. Once in power, the Tories made cutting expenditures to reduce the deficit a bedrock policy. But Hartle argues that while spending cuts may help trim the deficit, expenditures weren't the main reason for its surge in the ‘80s. Instead, Hartle traces the roots of the high deficit to some tax cuts of the 1970s. UPS REVENUES Hartle reckons that all revenue-raising taxation measures introduced between 1972 and 1983 boosted revenues in the 1982-83 fiscal year by $5.7 billion. By contrast, tax reductions during that decade resulted in a revenue loss of $24.8 billion in 1982-83. Of particular importance, says the study, was Ottawa's introduction in 1974 of indexation of the personal income tax system. . Study blames taxation for soaring deficit Under it, tax brackets and personal exemptions were increased every year by an amount based on the consumer price index. This policy resulted in a revenue loss of $15 billion in 1982-88, Hartle estimates. Compounding the problem was that this occurred at the same time as the government gave inflation protection to family allowance and old age double-whammy to the federal treasury. As a result, a key compone: personal income taxes — failed important expenditures did. The indexation of the personal income tax system was trimmed, starting in the 1986 taxation year, to the inflation rate minus three per cent. However, federal tax reductions weren't the only culprit, suggests Hartle, who was deputy secretary of the Treasury Board from 1969 to 1973. PLAYS ROLE The sky-high interest rates in the early 1980s also played a role in ballooning the federal budgetary deficits. Annual interest charges on the total df all federal deficits less surpluses since Confederation — rose from an average of 7.24 per cent in 1975 to 14.03 per cent in 1982. That helped boost the interest on the debt from $1.3 billion in 1975 to $9.8 billion in During that period the net from $19.27 billion in 1975 or 18.1 per cent of that year's gross national produet — to $98.75 billion or 29.1 per cent of the national output in 1982. Hartle concludes that while reckless spending wasn't a key cause of the deficit’ problem, spending cuts are a troublesome way of reducing the deficit. “As time passed, the degree actually achieved seemed much more modest than the early rhetoric predicted. Indeed, tax increases were double the expenditure reductions in the 1986 budget.” Hydro to export more power to United States VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C. Hydro will be able to sell electricity to the United States on a firm contract basis instead of a spot basis because of a new policy an- nounced this week by the Bonneville Power Adminis- tration. “It's certainly a crack in the door,” Hydro spokesman Chris Boatman said. “But ob- viously there's still a lot of horse trading to be done.” To date, power exports from British Columbia were also dependent on Bonneville Power giving Hydro access to its transmission lines. The change could also af- fect the Crown corporation's plan to build the Site C dam on the Peace River in north- eastern B.C. In its latest domestic de- mand forecast, Hydro said it wouldn't need to build the dam until 2001 unless long- term contracts were obtained from utilities in southern California. To obtain such long-term contracts, Hydro needed guaranteed access to Bonne- ville lines.

Hydro will store water for Bonneville, allowing it to re- lease enough water to allow the annual downstream mi- gration of young Columbia River salmon and steelhead trout. Because Hydro ‘will be generating less energy dur- ing this period, Bonneville will send its extra energy to Hydro. The B.C. company will return this energy be- tween July 1 and Nov. 1.
