DANCE EXTRAVAGANZA . . . Students from five
| area dance schools will be pertorming May 29 at

DANCE
SCHOOLS
TO PERFORM

A dance extravaganza entitled “Look We're
Dancing” will be held May 29 at Stanley Humphries

© senior secondary. The evening will highligtit perform
1]

ances by students from five area dance schools.

Highland and folk dancing, along with classical,
modern and jazz, will be seen.

The Maxwell Dancers, who will represent the
Kootenays at Expo 86 during the first week in July, will
also be seen on this program.

Audrey Maxwell, dancer, choreographer and
founder of this group, has lived in Castlegar for five
years, teaching dance ‘to adults and children.

She received her training in Vancouver and started
teaching dance at the age of 14. She entertained on the
cruise ship The Royal Viking, which travelled from
Alaska to the southern U.S.

Choreography and dancing have involved her in
numerous shows. Locally, her input can be seen in many
community events, such as the Miss Castlegar pagent,
fashion shows, talent shows and the eye-catching
pompom girls routine from the Kinnaird Junior
secondary school.

Two dance pieces will be presented by Lynn
Frederick of Nelson, along with students and fellow
dancers from the former Studio (1985/86).

Originally from Montreal, Frederick received her
training in ballet and jazz. She moved to the Nelson area
in 1981 and danced with Lynette Lightfoot for one year.
Since that time, she has taught beginner classes in jazz as
well as children's dance in Kaslo and Nelson.

The Slocan Valley Multicultural Dancers, were
formed in July 1985 to perform at Nelson's Multicultural
Festival. Their Ukrainian dance repertoire was pre-
sented at the United Nations Peace Conference in
Castlegar, the Langham Cultural Centre in Kaslo and at
many benefit concerts in the Slocan Valley

The dancers are Zena Ursuliak, Margee Bruyere,
Bonnie Droucker, Eva Rowland, Raven Padmos and Shin
Campos. They have done a stylized breakdance and are

The Slocan Valley Multicultural Dancers have been
chosen to appear at the B.C. Pavilion at Expo 86,
representing the Kootenay area from June 29 — July 5.

One of the most sophisticated forms 9f national
dance, highland dancing, has been taught in Castlegar for
five years by the Debra Tompkins School of Dance.

The students range in age from 5 to 15 years. They
travel to competitions throughout B.C. and Alberta and
have won numerous medals and trophies in their
respective classes.

Some of the dances are based on legends, some are
war dances and others are simply for exhibition purposes.
The dancers are tested each spring by examiners from
Scotland.

The dancers wear the kilts and national Scots’
costumes and will be presenting a colorful and
entertaining display of Scottish Dancing at its’ best.

The Question of Balance Dance/Theatre Society will
also perform a variety of dances.

Flexibility, stréngth and knowledge of structural
alignment are acquired by students who study dance
from a classical ballet technique base. Building from this
strong base, students expand their bulary
to include modern and jazz styles.

Students, ranging in age from 12 to 16 years, attend
a minimum of two classes per week, designed in
progressive levels.

‘All dances have been choreographed by Lynette
Lightfoot, an experienced performer, teacher and
choreographer, who pregently resides in South Slocan.

She graduated from the Canadian College of Dance
at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto, where she
trained in classical ballet, jazz, modern and national
dance.

She is an advanced member of the Imperial Society
of Teachers of Dance and a registered, certified teacher
of the Royal Academy of Dancing.

Her experience includes stage movement for actors
and chorography for musicals such as Irma La Douce.
Brigadoon, Man of La Mancha, and Oklahoma.

Presently, she is teacher/choreographer for the
Question of Balance Dance/Theatre, and is freelancing
with special workshops in dance and choreography in
B.C. and Alberta.

The Question of Balance Dance Theatre Society was
formed as a non-profit society in 1984, evolving from the
Lynette Lightfoot School of Dance instituted in 1979

Cannon a top

CANNES (CP) — Flamboyant Hollywood producers
Menahem Golan and Yorum Globus and their Cannon Group
Film company were once a vulgar joke at the Cannes Film
Festival in France.

Nobody's laughing at Cannon anymore.

Cannon has 18 new movies at Cannes this year,
including three of the 21 films in the festival's official
competition. The movies are by such top directors as Robert
Altman, Franco Zeffirelli and Andrei Konchalovsky.

Cannon in only seven years has become one of the
world’s leading independent film companies.

Golan and Globus arrived in Hollywood from Israel in
1979 as unknowns who took over a struggling company that
specialized in X-rated movies and had 1980 profits of only
$8,000 U.S.

This week they announced first quarter 1986 revenues
of $51.7 million, more than twice those grossed in the first
three months of last year.

Fascination with the pair stems not only from their
financial success but in their newfound taste for sponsoring
highbrow films while producing B-grade features that bring
in the cash.

Along the famous festival boulevard, the Croisette, are

giant billboards announcing new movie violence from
Cannon — films such as Deltaforee with chuck Norris and
Death Wish 3 with Charles Bronson.

There are also billboard promoting Cannon's Othello,
King Lear, Salome and Superman IV.

Also along the Croisette are rumors that the successful
producers are about to acquire more of the world’s cinema
action, possible MGM or Columbia.

Under the tightest security yet seen at this festival,
about 500 journalists came to the Carlton Hotel to hear the
secret of Cannon's phenomenal growth from a tiny company
to Hollywood's most aggressive major studio.

“The good news is that we didn't buy anything today,”
joked Golan, a big man with a thick Israeli accent.

‘The less showy Globus is shorter and bearded. Both
wore white jackets for their news conference in the Carlton
Hotel's marble-pillared ballroom.

Golan said Cannon would put money into the hands of
new European directors while giving the old cinema masters
a chance to work.

Cannon has already signed France's Jean-Luc Godard
and Alain Kesnais and German avant-garde film-maker
Babet Schroeter to make new movies.

TAX
FIGURES
EXPLAINED

By RON NORMAN
Editor

“What do all these figures on my tax bill mean?”

That's a common question in households around the
province this time of year as ratepayers attempt to
decipher their annual municipal tax notices.

The City of Castlegar expects to mail some 2,800 tax
notices May 22 and 23, and the notices will follow the
same format established last year.

In a bid to make tax notices easier to understand,
last year the provincial government eliminated “mill”
rates and switched to a tax rate based on per $1,000 of
assessed value.

For Tiistance, the residehtial property owner in
Castlegar is taxed on the basis of 15.5353 per $1,000 of
assessed value.

A translation of that means if your house is assessed
at the average $55,000, your total tax bill for 1986 will be
$854.44 (15.5353 x 55)

That's an increase of some $33 from 1985, when the
total tax bill for a house assessed at $55,000 was only
$821.35. .

But only $12 of that increase comes from the City of
Castlegar.

FEATURE
REPORT

Another $19 comes from the increase in school taxes
_ which account for $380 of the total $854.44 tax notice
for a home assessed at $55,000.

‘The remaining $6 increase is because of increases in
taxes for the regional hospital district, Central Kootenay
regional district, assessment authority and the Municipal
Finance Authority

‘Those four functions account for almost $80 of the
1986 tax bill for a home assessed at $55,000.

The total budget thf year will be about $6.8 million.
That's because the total figure includes the school board
budget. 2

The city ‘collects more than $3 million on behalf of
other agencies, including $922,000 on residential
properties for the Castlegar school district — an increase
of $36,725 or 4.2 per cent over 1985.

This year's $6.8 million total budget is down $385,000
from 1985, yet means an increase for the average
homeowner.

Here's why: The province has decided to cut in half
the provincial tax rate on machinery and equipment.
Thus, taxes on machinery and equipment fell by more
than $542,000 this year — or 29 per cent.

The difference between the $542,000 tax cut and the
$385,000 reduction in the total budget is because of an
inerease in the city’s budget ($62,000), the $37,000
inerease in the school district budget and increases in
taxes for the regional hospital district and the Central
Kootenay regional district.

Couple guilty
of tax evasion

By CasNews Staff
A Cranbrook couple who
wrote off more than $50,000

guilty to income tax evasion
Friday in Vancouver provin-
cial court.

Georg and Erna Emsian
der were fined a total of
$11,734 — the amount of tax
evaded — by Judge W.T.
Diebolt.

The Emslanders will also
have to repay.the taxewed in
addition to the fine, making a
total payment of $23,468.

In passing sentence, Die-
bolt noted “we all have to pay
the freight” in cases where
people illegally avoid paying
taxes.

Jim Solley, public affairs
manager with the Penticton
district taxation office, said
the Emslanders, who operate
a, commercial rental prop-
erty, claimed the personal
items as business expenses
by using falsified invoices.

Over a three-year period,
they made 25 claims totalling
$54,782, he said.

Diebolt, who had the op-
tion of imposing a fine rang-
ing from 25 to 200 per cent of
the tax evaded, gave the
Emslanders three thonths to
pay the fine.

In default, Georg Ems-
lander will serve six months
in jail snd his wife three
months.

Abortion rates
unchanged

OTTAWA (CP) — The
number of legal abortions
done in Canada and the coun-
try’s abortion rates remained
virtually unchanged in 1984
from 1983, Statistics Canada
said.

The number of abortions
performed under provisions
of the Criminal Code rose
slightly to 62,291 in 1984
from 61,800 the previous
year.

The official national abor-
tion rates — 10.2 abortions
for every 1,000 females aged
15 through 44 and 16.5 abor-
tions for every 100 live births
— were both the same in 1983
and 1984.

The statistics do not in-
clude thousands of abortions
done every year in Quebec
clinies that have the approval
of the provincial government
even though they do not
meet the provisions of the
Criminal Code.

Neither do they include
thousands of abortions ob-
tained by Canadian women
outside the country. U.S.
states voluntarily reported

abortion committees was
down to 249. Thirty-nine of
those hospitals accounted for
nearly three of every four
abortions done in 1984.

Women under the age of 30
continue to account for the
vast: majority of abortions
every year. At least two of
every three women who get
abortions are single.

Nearly one of every five
women who had an abortion
in 1984 reported one or more
previous abortions, a per-
centage that has been grow-
ing gradually year by year.

The numbers of legal abor;
tions by province or territory
in 1984, with the abortion
rates for every 100 live births
in brackets, were:

British Columbia 11,449
(26.1), Alberta 6,668 (15.1).
