Let us know by calling Long term health of land as Kootenay Permaculture (KOOP) will bring Vancouver- based land-trust expert Tyhson Banighen to the West Kootenay for a lecture and workshop on February 12 and 13 Banighen has Worked on the legal status of land trusts under B.C. law, facili- tated land trusting in Canada, the U.S., India, and Latin America He has also served on boards of * directors of land trusts, What is a land trust? It's. a non-profit society that can remove lands from the real-estate marketplace, dedicating these lands to specific purposes in per- petuity. Or, as the expression has it, such non-profit societies “put land into trust”. Land in trust occupies a place between conventional land and publicly owned land (such as the Crown forests of B.C., or the national and provincial parks) “While ‘public land’ is in the hands of government depart- ments,” Banighen explains, “trusted land can be held and managed by members of the local community.” By contrast, land with status as private property remains a potential commodity always. A land trust holding land can remove a land from the mar- ketplace and preserve it in perpe- tuity for a specified use—for example, as a farm, a wildlife Preserve, or.a timber-supply area managed by selective harvest only, Tyhson Banighen is the execu- tive director of the Turtle Island Earth Stewards (TIES), a non- Profit society that has put various Pieces of land into trust and has energetically promoted. and assisted the formation of land trusts in Canada and the western U.S. Banighen was the focus of a feature-length article in Harrow- smith magazine last year. Banighan studied environmen- tal planning through Antioch University in Seattle Once he had earned a master's degree there, he taught conflict resolu- Uon for a time at Simon Fraser University’s department of com munications. As well, he's been a Public-school curriculum design er for the Association for the Pro- motion and Advancement of Science Education Benighen’s innovation and contribution to the movement, the “land Stewardship trust” model, relies on “ecological covenants,” actually written into the land's title, to ensure the long-term health of land dedicated to Speci fied uses. These covenants delineate broad guidelines for use and development. Trusted land can be devoted to one or to a combina- tion of specified purposes: farm- ing, wildlife habitat, timber supply, ecological Study, and rural residence among these, even urban housing, for that mat- It's February, and the topic is RRSPs - the tax breaks, con- tributing regularly, borrowing if you don’t have the money. That might sound familiar, but I'm looking at a piece I wrote on registered retirement savings plans in February, 1973, As this column celebrates its 20th anniversary, I want to thank you readers, editors and advertisers for all your Support over the years. It thought it would be interesting to look at some financial things that have, and haven't changed. Here are highlights from the first couple of months 1973: You could deduct the Interest on loans taken out to make RRSP contributions, one of the few breaks we've lost My first column encouraged People to shop around for the best rates when they needed to borrow and to consider a fully secured demand loan at six to seven per cent (virtually the same as today’s rates) rather than a standard consumer loan at about double those figures. 1978: The debate of whole vs. term life insurance was flourish mg again, as it still is today New policies have been intro- duced over the years, but the conclusion remains the same make sure you have enough coverage for your dependents needs, then look at the most effective way to provide this coverage for as long as it is needed. The idea of a “reverse mort- gage” appealed to some home- owners who wanted to draw an income based on the equity they had in their homes, but finan- cial institutions were unenthusi- astic. “You can't be sure the home- Mike Grenby Syndicated Columnist owner will be dead when the mortgage runs out and must be repaid, and I'd hate to be asking a 95-year-old widow to move Out so the house couldsbe sold,” said one lender 1983: “The key to investing in the ‘80's is flexibility, and the ability to shift directions as cir- cumstances change,” said finan- cial advisers Henry Zimmer and Jeanne Kaufman. Borrowefs found they could pay off their mortgages very, quickly if they continue with the payments they had been making on a 17.5 per cent mortgage which now was being renewed at 12.5 per cent Canada Trust became the first major Canadian financial institution to charge a user fee Grenby looks back on 20 years of tax breaks ($1-a month) on Visa/Master- Card; it was aimed mainly at people who paid off their accounts each month 1988: Canadians were urged to Save more money on their own to provide for retirement as the federal government: looked ahead to dealing with its ever- increasing debt. People considered ethical Investing. The $1,000 invest- ment income deduction was no longer available Starting with the 1988 tax year. Some experts Predicted inflation, others pre- dicted depression.
