This is one of the major changes to the Fami- ly Law Reform Act which has been passed by the legislature and will come into force on March 1, 1986. Exceptions to the Act include pro- perty received as a gift or in- heritance, damages for personal in- jury and any agreements set out in a marriage contract. This means that when a marriage ends, the net worth of each spouse will be calculated and a monetary adjustment will be made, based on the difference. An adjust- ment would also be made upon the death of a spouse. I11 addition, the Act reduces from five to three years the length of time non -married couples may live together and qualify as "spouses". As promised in the Budget of Treasurer Robert Nixon, the Liberal Government has taken the first steps toward the revitalization of the On- tario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). Colleges and Universities Minister Gregory Sorbara told members of the Legislature that changes to OSAP will improve access to post secondary schools and help make OSAP the best student assistance program in Canada. Mr. Sorbara said the major change is an enrichment of the amount of grant funding for students from low income families in order to reduce the amount that parents are expected to contribute. As well, the method of calculating the grant entitlement for married students has been changed to recognize the level of living costs fac- ed by a family. In addition to a four percent increase for all direct educa- tion costs, including an increase in the personal and living allowances, Mr. Sorbara said special emphasis will be placed on part-time students and students taking upgrading. Funding of the Ontario ��SS�pp�e�cii�al Bursary Plan will be ina�t'ea'm' ,, io refornt.m Discllslr torn reform hare•ry begun in earnest with a recent an- nouncement by Treasurer Robert Nixon. Mr. Nixon told the Canadian Pension Conference in Toronto that new measures designed to provide more portable pensions, better benefits for women and a fairer private pension system in the pro- vince are all a part of the proposed legislation, to be introduced later in the session. One of the key features in- cludes minimum employer contribu- tions. This requires employers to pay at least half of a pension member's accrued benefit in the event of 607$ I I nil THE OPTIMIST CLUB OF EXETER AND DISTRICT Home and Garden Show At the South Huron Rec Centre Exeter,Ontario FRI., SAT., SUN.

As well,, It allows for a smooth and predictable transition to higher contrib}ltio► rates, and ensures that the amount of excess available for government bor- rowing are minimized. Community Mental Health pro- grams across Ontario will receive au additional $6.1 million in new financ7 ing. Health Minister Murray Elston announced that most of the m y will go to fund 34 new programs the remainder will be used to entlapce existing programs which se .ye psychiatrically disabled people. Mr. Elston said the new services reflect a commitment by the Liberal Govern- ment to expand community -base¢ mental health programs across the province. These services will assist people discharged from psychilipic hospitals as well as help improveit e quality of life for emotionally distress- ed people in the community. ; i, I would remind my constituents that as Minister of Agricultur$ Food I have extended the deadlme�foe the Ontario Family Farm Interest Reduction (OFFIRR) to March ,15. The program was scheduled to diose this month but was extended because. a late harvest meant many faders needed more time to prepare ,heir; year-end flow data. I have also,-, , tended the deadline for action agatttst farmers in financial trouble under. three provincis. ;; the $50 millional OFFIRR progrpm,; announced m August, provides to held farmers reduce their in . costs to eight percent on existing 104 term debt for one year. About 5,000 farm families have applied; TO assistance under the OFFIR gram so far.

Therefbre ' it was encouraging to see tradition restored with the wit and werftlth displayed recently by Treasure *d Minister of Revenue, Robert Nixon. Mr. Nixon int ed members o"T the Legislature thaf IN Prdvince of On- ' tario Savings Once (POSO) has in- troduced the Trillium accdtlbt,, POSO's first daily interest jav-1 ings/chegtting account. The Trillium account will pa ly interest on every dollar in a count; there is no minimum - required before interest starts, ac- cumulating. For deposits under: $5,000, the rate is six percent. This, rate will increase to 71/2 percent when the balance is $5,000 or more. Mr. Nixon told his fellow MPP's his, father, Harry Corwin Nixon, was a very strong supporter of POSO in 1923 when it was established and of its+ chief aim, to make low-cost loans tot Ontario farmers. "This provision was rescinded in 1923 by the government which followed the United Farmers, a Conservative government I should) add, and never restored", said Mr. Nixon. Since then, however, and for over, six decades, POSO has offered On- tario citizens a place to put their sav-1 ings which is a little different from pie' average bank or trust company. A place where savings are guaran*&, by the government and where ter-' sonatized service comes first and foremost. Mr. Nixon told members of the Legislature that since his first. savings account was at a POSO, branch, he had opened a Trillium ac-. count at a local branch and urged, them to do the same. I am pleased to inform you that my colleague, the Honourable Jim Bradley, Minister of the Environment will be awarding a 54,000 grant to the Township of Stephen under the! Ministry's Waste Management Im- provement Program. The Waste Management Improe- meet Program is designed to assist , local municipalities to upgrade their waste disposal sites in accordance with the provincial legislation. Under the provisions of the program, special,, studies pertaining to landfill sites can be undertaken and such sites can be closed in a spanner that is safe to thi environment. This initiative has been extreinelY well received, offering municipal)tiye an opportunity to become actively in- volved with the Ministry of the Ent vironment in meeting provincial re-, quirements designed to protect the environment. . WHAT IS HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES? A common form of hardening of the arteries is atherosclerosis. It occurs when fatty deposits in the bloodstream build up on the inner walls of the arteries. People who have atherosclerosis are more liked* ly to suffer a heart attack or stroke. The risk of developing atherotacler- osis can be reduced by observing a diet low in saturated fats an4 cholesterol. Contact your local' Heart and Stroke Foundationpt Ontario for more information. 111
