Nelson gets play

You Strike the Woman, You Strike
the Rock, a unique theatre produc-
tion from South Africa, comes to
Nelson on July 14.

The play, which has performed to
rave reviews in London, Edinburgh,
New York and Vancouver, stars
three black women as vendors in a
Cape Town market. The actresses
use stories, songs, mime and dance to
create a graphic image of life in
South Africa. It's a view never seen

lives seen through their own eyes.

The play reveals the double
oppression of black women in South
Africa — by the apartheid system
and by their own men. The title of
the play comes from a song written
to commemorate a 20,000-strong
demonstration by Sough African
women in 1956 protesting the ex-
tension of the restrictive pass laws to
women.

Actress

LOS ANGELES (CP) — It’s an un-
comfortable affair: Michele Scara-
belli and the camera.

It helped the native Montrealer
pay her way through McGill Univer-
sity, it helped launch her career and
she’s grateful for all it has given her.
But Scarabelli wants to be taken
seriously as an actress. Not a model.

“There were just so many times I
stoop in front of the camera doing the
same looks, and it's depleting,” says
Scarabelli, whose sandy-blond waves
frame sparkling green eyes.

“But there's still a stigma attached
to coming from that background of
modelling to be an actress.”

On a sofa in her publicist’s office,
she leans forward — an arresting
figure in a black miniskirt, black
stockings, black turtleneck and emer.
ald green silk jacket.

“Personally, I thought it was good
training. You learn a lot about the
camera that actors going through
theatre school don’t.

“The camera is the great equalizer.
There's a charisma that comes across
that no amount of theatre training,
no amount of acting classes can give
you.”

HAD DALLAS ROLE

Scarabelli has made a number of
forays into television. Most recently,
she enjoyed a several-episode stint
on Dallas as Connie Hall, a somewhat

Before that, she portrayed Jo San-
tini on the pay TV show Airwolf.

The daughter of a civil engineer,
Scarabelli was born in Montreal but
lived in yarious locales, including
Venezuela, where she learned to
speak Spanish.

Eventually, she returned to Mon-

degree in psycholinguistics from Mc-
Gill.

Resolving to concentrate on acting,
she gave up modelling and moved to
Toronto. There she spent a year with

A year ago, she decided to make

Commenting on her work, Sandra

California lures business

Editor's note: Even with the recent
trend to limit growth, large and small
Canadian companies find California's
business climate to their liking.

By STEPHEN NICHOLLS.

Canadian Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Canadian
businesses have tapped into the
commercial motherlode of California.

In building and banking, real
estate and resources, celluloid and
silicon, the lure of California's
hospitable business climate has
tempted a swarm of Canadian en-
trepreneurs.

Some individuals have come for
corporate careers, rising to the top of
their company's hierarchy. Others
came to start their own businesses,

market the size of Canada. | Still
others came to invest, churning

Money planning
ideal in summer

By DAVID PADDON
The Press

The summer lull has arrived. Feb-
ruary’s dash for a retirement savings
plan is long forgotten, April's wrestle
with income tax has been won, and
the race for this year's Canada
Savings Bonds is months away.

But summer could be an ideal time
to putter with your portfolio. With-
out the frantic need to meet im-
mediate investment deadlines, you
can use the hot days to take a cool
look at where you've put your
money.

“Know where you are today, know
where you're going to go tomorrow,
know how you're going to get there,”
advises Dale Ennis, editor of Guide
to Making Money: How to Do It
Yourself.

Most people don't have an invest
ment plan. They buy.Canada Sayings
Bonds-and retirement savings plans
at certain times of year out of habit,
says Ennis, who is also editor of the
Canadian MoneySaver magazine.

“Without an investment strategy,
many people ‘simply buy because
that’s in vogue,” Ennis says. “In the
past that hasn't worked for most of
us and I can’t foresee in the future
it’s going to work.

“You need a strategy and you need
to keep on top of it.”

NOTE TAX REFORM

One major change that investors
should investigate is the federal gov-
ernment'’s overhaul of the income tax
system. The tax reforms haven't for.
mally been made law, but investors
should assume the new rules will
apply to their 1988-income.

“A lot of people don't realize that
they're paying tax on every cent of
interest that they earn now,” says
Gordon Pape, broadcaster and
author of Building Wealth.

Under the old laws, an investor
could earn $1,000 of interest and, in
most cases, not pay a cent of tax on
that money. The new rules eliminate
the $1,000 interest income deduction.
Thus, any interest you earn from a
Canada Savings Bond, bank account
or-guaranteed investment certificate
will be taxed.

“Many people would be better off
investing in something that pays a
dividend, something like a preferred
share. .., than in having their money
in something like Canada Savings
Bonds,” Pape says.

Although many people think pre-
ferred shares are mainly the tool of
big-time investors, Pape’ says the
new tax rules favor the lowest
ineome bracket when it comes to that
type of investment.

Another way to save your interest
income from the tax man is to invest

Mr. Stokes 1-800-268-1226

in a registered retirement savings
plan. Even_under the -new_ rules,
interest earned on money in an ap-
proved plan will not be taxed.

Investors should consider putting
small amounts into their RRSP
throughout the year, rather than
saving the money in a regular (tax-
able) bank account until they have a
large sum to invest, Pape says.

But he says people never think of
their retirement savings plan in the
middle of summer.

“They go rushing out in February
and they put money into it and then
they forget about it.”

That's because of the government-
set deadline at the end of February
or first.of March. Money put into an
RRSP before that deadline can be
sheltered from the previous year's
taxes.

PAY ATTENTION
'Most'people, from one year to the
next, don’t pay any attention to
what's happening to their RRSP
money,” Pape says.

“That is very bad money-manage-
ment policy because, for a lot of
people, the RRSP is the single lar-
gest investment apart from their
home.”

Some retirement savings plans are
complex, but others, set up likesa
savings account, are simple to
understand. Savings account plans
may seem to offer low interest rates,
but they're safe and their after-tax
return may be surprising.

For example, look at an investor
who bought a $1,000 Canada Savings
Bond last fall.

The bond's nine-per-cent face-val
ue interest—ean—work out to an
after-tax return of as low as 5.1 per
cent, depending on the tax bracket.

“We believe the office market is
turning around and that it would be
propitious for us to have our office
building on the market by 1992,” says
Williams, sipping coffee from a china
cup at the boardroom table.

“With that in mind, we want to be
in a position to get started by the
first quarter of next year.’’

No-growth or slow-growth move-
ments have brought legal constraints
that have hamstrung many develop-
ers. And San Francisco has some of
the toughest rules in.the state for
development.

But Yerba Buena Gardens was
approved before those laws went into
effect. With other development con-
strained, the value-of-the-property
has increased considerably.

GROWTH CURBED

The slow-growth movement is
hurting many developers, and some
suggest the California economy may
suffer.

“The impact will be negative
there's no question,” says Frank
Meyer, a Toronto real estate analyst.
“They think they'll benefit~in the
short run. They'll have less growth,
less traffic, less this, less that.

“They will only start to realize
what they've done when the price of
housing goes beyond the reach of
their children to get it. And when
their children can’t get jobs because
there are no jobs.”

Another who's bearish on Califor-
nia laws is Fred Hartley, who moved
to Los Angeles from Vancouver al:
most 50 years ago to take a job with
Union Oil. Now 71, he’s chairman of
Unocal Corp., an employer of about
16,000. His firm recently transferred
its registration to Delaware, to take
advantage of more attractive incor-
poration laws.

“We think California law today,
the business climate, is not correct,”
says Hartley, pondering the times
while sitting on a sofa in his
brass-and-wood appointed office.

He cites the example of accumula-
tive voting, in which a shareholder
can throw all his share-votes behind
one director. That enables a cor-
porate raider to pick up shares and
plant a designated representative on
the board of directors.

DRILLING OPPOSED

Another drawback to business in
California is an abundance of envir-

onmental issues and their staunch
— some say rabid — defenders.

“California has probably more than
its share of environmental types be-
cause it’s such a good place to live,”
says Hartley.

‘The biggest problem we face now
is the environmentalists’ attitude to
our drilling offshore. They're terribly
unrealistic. We can show them with
facts and figures that there are more
oil spills caused by foreign tankers

. but they won't believe that.”

The electric door and bulletproof
glass in the lobby of the executive
suite are reminders of the common
fear that the lunatic fringe is never
far away.

The state of business in the Golden
State gets a better review from
others like Ned Mundell, Montreal
born president of U.S. Leasing.

AN OPEN SYSTEM

“People are prepared to receive a
supplier of services or products
without questioning his motives,”
says Mundell, in his office over
looking San Francisco Bay. “You
don't have to waste time figuring out
what his credentials are, what school
he went to.

“That's the basic problem I always
felt with Canada. There was an es-

» and the i
dealt with each other. And now the
establishment has changed, but the
method of doing business is still
somewhat the same. There's too
much power in too few hands.”

Many Canadian owners of small
businesses have flourished in Cali-
fornia.

Take Winnipeg-born Reesa Hahn,
who opened a frozen yogurt bar near
Los Angeles in 1983. Five years and
130 shops later, her Penguin's Place
yogurt chain is expanding across the
United States.

A company spokesman says the
firm plans to venture north of the
border. After striking paydirt ' in
California, Hahn is ready to start
prospecting in the Canadian market.
