Halifax-bom, B.C. innovative artist, poet and trainer, bill bissett, read and chanted poems from a range of his published works at Selkirk College on Thursday, November 12

Approximately 50 Selkirk College students and staff members attended the reading in the new auditorium in the recently opened Sentinel education wing.

bissett's writing fuses traditional poetry with elements of concrete and sound poetry. Much of hi writing uses phonetic rather than conventional spelling. One of the poems from inkorrect thots, his most recent publication, opens with these surrealistic images:

disquieting tension emerges, subtle in some, more disturbing in others, but underlying every image.”

Rosenberg's upcoming exhibit of photographs, “All We Ever Wanted,” at the West Kootenay National Exhibition Centre from November 19 to December 24, is comprised of portraits from “studio, home, and street,” as Rosenberg puts it. These are, according to the Nelson-based photographer, “old negatives reconsidered and new ones right out of the camera.”

Rosenberg has had a distinguished career that began with photojournalism training at San Jose State University, in his native California. He lived in Canada since 1970 and moved to the West Kootenay in the early “80's. Rosenberg’s experience into an intensely personal exchange involving the photographer and his many sitters. Over most of the last decade, he has operated his own studio, Photography & Son, in Nelson.

Rosenberg’s prints have been exhibited in Brisbane Australia’s Institute of Modem Art, at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and the Photographer's Gallery in Saskatoon, among many others places. Six of his portraits were purchased in 1989 and ‘90 by the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography in Ottawa. And, though familiar to many as a photographer of fine mounted prints, Rosenberg has also published his work, through such journals as Rolling Stone, Vancouver magazine, and B.C. Photographer, and also in the Polestar Press book Labour of Love.

Photography remains a quest for Rosenberg, both a gathered momentum and a fresh start. Concering his new exhibition at the NEC, he says, “These photos are an offering up and airing out of my personal mythology, as well as the beginning of a new

looking, thinki

being.”

The cheapest pay-as-you-go life insurance is normally an annual renewable term policy Each year, as you get older and your risk of dying; increases, the cost of your insurance premium also increases.

However, this increasing annual rate is based on, among other things, your health at the time you apply for the policy.

And so if you can show your health is as good at age 51 as it was at age 46, for example, you can make a fresh start - and lower your insurance premium in the

bargain.

Many insurance companies will allow you this sort of “re- entry”. You take another medical, update the application information, perhaps pay a fee and if you get a clean bill of health, your premium rate drops.

You could also apply to another company, and escape paying the re-entry fee. But then you must deal with a new two

Jim Craig takes new appointment

The Chief Executive Officer for Kootenay Savings Credit Union, Doug Stanley of Trail, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jim Craig to the new position of Manager Lending Services,

Jim Craig has, for the past ten years, been the branch manager at Castlegar for Kootenay Savings. He has taken up his new position at the head office of KSCU in Trail where he will manage the total lending services for the nine branch offices of Kootenay Savings Credit Union.

Jim Craig and his family continue to reside in Castlegar. The new branch manager appointed recently at Castlegar is Greg Stewart who has joined Kootenay Savings after several years as General Manager of the Warfield Credit Union. Greg Steward is well known among the credit unions in the Kootenays where he has taken an active role in regional credit union matters.

year “suicide and incontestability” clause. In other words, you won't be covered if you commit suicide in the first two years, and the information you provided on the application

can be challenged in that period.

(Note: Whenever you replace an existing policy, always keep it in force until you can confirm the new policy is providing the coverage for which you applied.)

Most insurance policies contain information about any re- entry options they offer. And, ideally, your life insurance agent should remind you when you first qualify for re-entry - typically five years after you take out the policy.

Here’s an example: When I was 46, I took out a term life insurance policy from American Life Insurance Company (Alico). At age 51, my annual premium was $2,271.

Alico allowed me to apply for

re-entry - by paying a $400 fee - and if I qualified, would lower

“ my premium to $1,213. The

following year, my premium would be $1,586 - compared with $2,665 if I didn’t apply to re-enter (or did apply and failed)

So I could save, after the $400 fee, $658 in the first year, then $1,079 the second year. The savings in each of the next three years ranged from about $800 to about $1,000.

However, Alico would not guarantee the premium amounts beyond the fifth year. For that reason - and to a lesser degree because I resented having to pay the $400 re-entry fee, which Alico refused to waive - I applied to Metropolitan Life for the same coverage

I passed the medical and ended up with a first-year premium of $1,540. My future savings will range from about $700 to $900 a year And Met Life does guarantee the future premiums.

1 followed my agent's recommendation of Met Life over some smaller companies which offered slightly lower rates.

Over the next five years, I will save $3,956. If I invest. my average annual savings so they compound annually at seven per

cent, I'll have almost $5,000.

That's not a bad return for spending a couple of hours with my life insurance agent to review my options and then the doctor to go through the medical.

You should talk to your agent to see if you still have the appropriate type and amount of insurance coverage - and are paying the most ap (not

There isn’t space here to discuss the pros and cons of annual renewal term insurance vs. five or 10 - year renewable term - or term vs. whole/universal life insurance. Those are subjects for another column.

Don't look for one right type of policy for everybody; you should have the kind and amount of coverage that matches your particular needs - recognizing those needs change over the years.

You will find almost as many supporting arguments for the different types of policies from the various companies as there are life insurance agents.

It can be a challenge to find the right policy for you. But once you have that coverage in Place, you still need to review

Economic Analysis tries to strike a balance in cross-border shopping

SUN STAFF

An information bulletin published by the Economics Department for the B.C. Credit Union indicates that cross border shopping is on the rise, and will continue to affect retail businesses in communities which are close to the open Canadian-American border.

The bulletin, called Economic Analysis, states that Canadians need not view the solution to cross-border shopping as a choice between either American-style marketplace or highly restrictive borders. Instead, changes to Canadian tax policies could leave consumers with more options about where to shop and to what level government services should be financed.

Last year, British Columbians made almost 15.5 million same- day auto crossings to the United States, averaging nearly five

Yesterday's Treasures in the lobby of Castlegar’s High Arrow Motor Inn has a display of antique dolls in their front window showcase.

These dolls have been treasured by several generations and some date back as far as 1894. Among these dolls that

have been collected from all over the world is a Shirley Temple doll, a Barbara Anne Scott doll and a 1908 Eaton's Beauty.

Many of the dolls are made of porcelain and are graced with real hair. See the front desk person at the Hi-Arrow Motor Inn to view the dolls.

visits per person. That's the highest proportion for any province,,and is already up sharply frortr about two trips per person in 1986. Most often, the purpose of these trips is to buy alcohol, cigarettes, gasoline, and dairy products.

But other items are also becoming popular, stated the bulletin. Since 1987, the number of B-15 forms, used when paying duty and taxes at the border, has more than quadrupled, as British Columbians increasingly find stoves, dishwashers, televisions, and clothes cheaper in the U.S., even after border levies are paid

The economic harm caused by cross-border shopping is difficult to_aSsess. One recent study blamed cross-border shopping for costing B.C. retailers $1.6 billion in lost sales last year (compared to $10.4 billion dollars for all of Canada). However, this result was obtained by adding up
