Work was chosen by a seven member selection committee representing elementary, sec ondary, university and alternate education, chaired by retired art educator Wyn Davies. In addition to choosing work for the touring exhibition, the committee gave 73 works hon ourable mention. “The selec tion teams had to give careful consideration to all the entries, from the eager explorations by the youngest, to the careful ren- derings of the teens, in order to select the work that demonstrates an imaginative approach to the subject and skill in use of the medium,” said Mr. Davies. “As a result this B.C.Y.A Exhibition vividly displays ener gy, enthusiasm and a wéalth of ideas to us all,” he said, The Emily Carr Outreach Pro- gram began co-ordinating the first exhibition of the art work of young B.C. Artists in 1979, and has presented the exhibition ever two years since then, — Every exhibition begins with a call for submissions from every public, independent, native and correspondence school, and from art centres and community art galleries. To date over 20,000 works have been submitted, and the selected works have been viewed Museum by over 140,000 visitors. The B.C. Young Artists’ Exhi- bition is assisted by a number of institutional and corporate spon- sors, and is significantly aided by the Friends of Emily Carr Soci- ety.

The author weaves together the fates of an-unforgettable cast of characters, all touched by the power of the desert. At the centre of the story are the crossing paths of three out- siders-a spirited Baltimore socialite, a gringo greenhorn and a second-generation Chinese boy. For young Eleanor Poindexter, a reluctant newcomer, Bowie and its inhabitants, Mexican and American alike are rough, crude and forbidding. Afters: headlong romance with a local rancher ends disastrously, Eleanor begins to recognize the landscapes primitive magnificen¢e and starts, literally, to build herself a home in the desert. Sandra Brown brings us her most daring and thrilling novel yet. “Frepch Silk” introduced an extraordinary woman caught in a nightmare web of love and lies when she is accused of murder. Claire Laurent has fought hard to make her mail order lingerie company, French Silk, a success That very success brings the hypocritical wrath of a TV evan- gelist down on her head and he vows to ruin the company which promotes such vile erotic fantasies. Claire faces losing everything that matters to her and she naturally becomes the state's chief suspect when the preacher is found murdered Here's a treat for Doris Lessing fans and armchair travelers alike. “African Laughter” is a personal story about Lessing's return to her African roots in Zimbabwe after her twenty-five year exile from the old Southern Rhodesia. She recounts the visits she made in 1982-1988, 1989, and 1992, giving us a rich and penetrating portrait of her homeland, and evoking the history, landscape and spirit of the people. She embraces every facet of life in Zimbabwe from the lost animals “of the bush To political corruption, from AIDS to a successful enterprise created by rural blacks “The Stanley Cup” by D'Arcy Jennish is an action-packed” story of 100 years of hockey at its best. In 1892, hockey in Cana- da was a game played by amateurs who zoomed around the natu- ral ice on rivers and ponds in their enthusiastic pursuit of the puck. Frederick Arthur Stanley, Canada’s Governor General before the turn of the Century, was much taken by this fast action game and decided that hockey needed a national championship among the best associations in the Dominion. He forked $48.67 out of his pocket to buy a trophy that “had all the grace and stature of a soup tureen”’ That soup tureen, hoisted proudly by the victors at the end of each playoff season, is now a hundred years old and stands on top of a silver pillar engraved with 875 names of winners. Jennish's story features the games, the players, the owners and coaches-and €ven the telegraph operators who were the first to call the game play by play, bringing alive the daredevils who made hockey Canada's favorite sport. Lorna Crozier is one, of Canada’s best poets, as attested by her recent Governor General’s Award for her latest collection “Inventing the hawk” The poems in this haunting new book are both playfut and provocative, witty and intimate. Central to the collection-is her powerful eulegy for her father. Beginning with his death, it moves back in time to the author’s childhood in a small Saskatchewan community. Crozier’s Poetry reveal the small pleasures of day-to-day life and sometimes offer a shockingly different perspective on reality The comic strain she displayed in her previous collection “The garden going on without us’ — a raunchy expose of vegetable sex life — sparkles through even the most poignant of poems, as in “Recipes” or “Getting pregnant”.

Festival of the Arts is seeking submissions from artists residing in the West Kootenay area for 32 original works of art to be presented as Festival awards. Deadlines for submissions is February 12 d "Reasonable expectation of profit" defined What is “a reasonable expec- tation of profit” and why does it matter? When you have your own business, whether a sideline or full-time activity, Revenue Cana da needs to be convinced (if it sulting business might normally show a profit fairly quickly if all expenses are being covered in its contracts. A hobby might never show a profit. But a hobby could be turned into a business venture asks) that your busi has a reasonable expectation of profit so you will be allowed to deduct all the expenses you claim as part ‘of doing business. —Expenses can exceed income, especially during the early years of a business. That can give you the opportunity to claim your losses against your other (employment, pension, invest- ment) income - and so cut your income tax bill Revenue Canada will give you that tax break, but wants assur- ance that within a reasonable period, your business will show a profit which it can then tax “A reasonable expectation of profit” is open to much discus- sion. . If you write a book, you might have years of expenses before you see any income. On the other hand, a home-based con- Mike Grenby Syndicated Columnist and become profitable. “In the case of an artist or writer, it is possible that a tax- payer may not realize a profit during his or her lifetime but still have a reasonable expectation of profit,” says Revenue Canada in its Interpretation Bulletin IT- 501R, Visual Artists and Writers. “However, to have this ‘rea- sonable expectation of profit’ the artistic or literary endeavors of the artist or writer must be car- ried on in a manner such that ... they may be considered for income tax purpose to be the car- rying on of a business. rather than, for example, a hobby.” Revenue Canada then provides a list of factors which can help decide whether the famous “rea- sonable ‘expectation of profit” exists. It stresses that no one factor is more important than another, and that failure to meet one or more criteria doesn't necessarily mean a failing grade While Revenue Canada talks about artists and writers, you will be able to relate most-of the guidelines to any business ven- ture - for example, the past recerd of profits and losses, mar- ket conditions, qualifications and soon. I have added my own comments in parentheses along these lines. 7 - Time devoted to the artistic or literary endeavors. (Simply delete “artistic or literary” and this guideline would apply to any business.) - Presentation of the artist's or writer's works in public and pri- vate settings including exhibit- ing, publishing and reading as is appropriate to the work.

Con- Phone 365-5579 with your business brief The Autoplan insurance rates for 1993, announced on Novem- ber 27th by ICBC, will allow the Corporation to collect 9.5 per cent more ‘in total premium next year. Increases paid by most motorists will range between $30 and $100, depending on the cov- erage they choose In any given year, ICBC must set premiums at a level to cover * the cost of claims against the policies purchased during that year. Given that some policies pur chased toward the end of 1993 will still be in force until late 1994, thé rates announced today must be adequate to pay ‘for claims which may be reported over a two-year period, and per- haps not settled until years later. When ICBC premiums rise, it means the Corporation expects the amount it pays to settle claims reported over the follow- ing 24 months will be higher. This prediction is based on trends in both the number and cost of claims, often referred to as “the claims experience.” ICBC tracks the claims expe- rience for each coverage it sells to motorists in each class of use (pleasure, to or from work, etc.) in all of BC's 14 ratings territo- Ties, For instance, the steady rise in the number and cost of theft and vandalism claims over the past few years means that the claims experience for comprehensive coverage has worsened. As a result, premiums for this cover- age will rise again in 1993. On the other hand, the claims experience for collision coverage has improved again in 1992 — a trend that has resulted in a decrease in collision premiums for the second year in a row. ICBC premiums differ depending where individual motorists live, with those in the Lower Mainland paying the highest rates and Victoria motorists paying-the lowest. Again, it’s the claims experi- ence in each area that helps determine the rates paid by local motorists.

All claims made against an individual's policy impacts the claims experience for the area in which that. person lives, no Miat- ter where the accident itself may have occurred. So, if someone from Quesnel causes a mishap in a North Van- couver parking lot, Quesnel’s claims experience will suffer. Similarly, if two motorists from Nanaimo crash in front of the Nelson City Hall, the claims will come home to roost in Nanaimo. The rate-setting system ICBC uses ensures that the Corporation will have enough in the Autoplan Fund to pay for all the claims made. Tracking claims experience by coverage and territory allows ICBC to spread the premium Toad as equitably as possible among ail BC motorists. Of course, the biggest factor in an individual motorist's pre- mium is his or her own personal claims experience as measured by the Claim-Rated Scale. Each of us controls our own auto insurance premium to a __ great extent by not causing acci- dents. A full Claim-Rated Scale discount cuts 40 per cent off the base price of ICBC coverage KAREN KERKHOFF Local businesses enjoy seasonal success Sun staff totals.
