BY PATRICIA RIMIER , Right after the Christmas season is over, students be- gin anxiously awaiting the March break. Such is the case with me. I had no sooner put all of my Christmas presents to use and 1 was already planning for the holiday 1'd have in March. This year's break was a little different than past years. When I was younger 1 would pack my bags and head for Grandma's as many kids do. Then when I got into high school I spent most of the week sleeping. watching soap operas and. all in all. being as lazy as possible. Two years ago the March break was spent down south at Myrtle Beach with the SDHS Girls Band. This year my family decided to head south for a vacation as well. The usual spots to hit on the March break in the states are the Carolinas, Florida, Texas and other southern states This vear we dried some place different and had a nice trip to Virginia. After receiving the advice from a good friend of some interesting spots to see in Virginia, we planned our route and headed south last Saturday after 1 finished work. All four of us have a licence so we were able to take turns driving. We decided that just for the fun of it, we would drive right through the night. We went in shifts of navigate for two hours, drive for two hours and sleep for four. We were in Virginia Beach by 1:00 Sunday afternoon. SUNBATHING 1 learned a lot from my trip. First of all, 1 went expecting weather similar to- our wea- ther in April Or early May. The weather in Virginia Beach was beautiful. There were people sunbathing py the ocean and I even got a bit of a tan on my back. It wasn't nearly as warm as Myrtle Beach or Miami Beach but 75 • degrees was a nice change from Seaforth. Secondly, Americans know very little about Canada un- less they've visited it. The first day 1 was in Virginia Beach 1 was talking to a lady about Virginia. When 1 told her that I was from Ontario, she immediately assumed that 1 spoke French fluently and said "aux revoir" when 1 left her. Other people asked us if we lived in the huge mountains. In Ontario? It was obvious to me that these people had only seen a few pictures of Canada and assumed that it was all the same. W ildernes - that's what the lifeguard `at' our hotel in Pennsylvania told us he thought Canada was. He expected us to talk with "eh" in every sentence and "take off" in every second sen- tence. In the States Cana- dians seem to be stereotyped. MORE TOURISTS It was funny but 1 hadn't noticed that lack of know- ledge about Canada in South SPS Happenings COMPUTER ACADAMY The grade 7.8's at S.P.S. are watching the Computer Acadamy programs from 'r.V.O. 1t helps students learn more about computers. With 12 tapes in all, students watch one tape a week. About 10,000 people are enrolled in the program in Ontario. . The cost for 12 tapes is $59. All the.students seem to be enjoying it. -Cheryl Cooper • Seaforth P.S. is participat- ing in the "Wintario Half - Back'. Students have collect- ed 1,600 tickets which will provide $800 in Canadian hooks for the library. Mrs. Patterson has sent in the order and is working on another. Students bring in their old Wintario tickets. -Vicki Gordon TOM SAWYER OPERETTA SPS grades 5. 6, 7. 8 students are -presenting a s play called Tom Saw- er at Scaforth Public 'School on April 26, 27. The story tells of Tom Sawyer and his friends adventures while growing up His Aunt Polly tries to •keep Tom out of trouble by being stern, but is always won over to _leniency by his lovableness. Becky Thatcher, whom Tont admires gives a picnic and leads them into more trouble. Audiences will truly enjoy this presentation of Tom Sawyer's adventures as a young boy. Tammy Taylor Sonia Fehr MATH CONTEST The SPS grade five and six students wrote a Canada - wide mathematics contest Mar. 1. The grade fives went to -Mrs. Riley's room and the Carolina or Florida. That's probably because there are so many Canadian tourists there. 1 also found it funny that people in Virginia each liked my accent and I was freaking out over their ac- cents. Virginia is a . beautiful state, In one day we went from sea level by the ocean in Virginia Beach up to an altitude of 2980 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains Words cannot describe the view looking down at the Shenandoah Valley from the top of a mountain. In the summer and fall I imagine that the view is even nicer Since we had only a few days to travel and 'relax. Virginia was the perfect place to visit. We got a little grade sixes went to Mrs. Thomas's room. • The top students included: Elizabeth Boven, Aaron Broome. Steven Fritz, Jason Wheatly, John Steffler, Jerry Nelemans and Jeff Robinson. -Sonia Fehr NEWS FROM SPS Gayle Beuerman is helping teach in Mr. •Park's class. This is part of her practice to become a teacher. Gayle finds Mr. Park and his room very interesting as well as the children. Gayle likes children very much and enjoys teach- ing. She comments that the worst thing about teaching for a 'two•week period is getting to like and know the children and then you have to leave to go back to teaching school. Anne Robinson Heather Alce and Lori Henderson sunshine, shopping and rest. We ate lots of fantastic seafood (smorgasbords ga- lore), met some friendly peo- ple and saw sone different scenery. It made a very nice holiday. So now the March break is over and there are only three months left until the summer holidays! I can hardly wait. INSTANT SHADE!

Child tax made simpler BY HARRY L. MARDON Ottawa seems to have deliberately made it difficult for married couples to claim tax exempt?ons for their de- pendeet children. The dependent child factor crops up in five seperate sections of the TI general income tax return form. If each point is not fully dealt with the processing of your return will be delayed. as the taxation department comes back at you for clarifications. It is hest to start out with Page 2 of the T1 form. Complete the section ent`tled "Exemption for Wholly De- pendent Children". Usually the father claims the children as dependants. even if both parents earned taxable inc- come. That is 'because the Lather more often than not has a greater income than the ' mother. The exemption per child is clearly laid nut. The maxi- mum claim for a child horn in 1965 or later is $670, provided the child did not have a net income above $2,320 in 1982, If the child earned between $2.320 and $3,660. the $670 cxern-06n is minus one, half the amount by which the child's net income exceeded $,2,320. It a child is age 18 or over at the' end of 1982, the exemp- tion is $1,220 but minus the amount by which the child's income exceeded $2.440 in 1982. If a dependent child is age 21 or over at the end of 1982. exemption can he claimed on the same basis as for an I8 -v ear -old, hut only if the you're always a winner at the arbor - during our first eser child is mentally or physically infirm or is in full time attendance at a school or university. An important point to re- member when claiming exemptions for your children is that you only take into account their "net income". They may be entitled to certain deductions from their gross earnings, such as the three per cent employment expense deduction, •union dues or moving expenses they paid to get to a summer job. These would result in lower net income than the total earnings shown on the child's T4 form provided by the employer. There's a firm rule that the person who claims child exemptions must report as income any Family Allowance payments received by the fancily That amount should he reported on page 1 (Line 12) of the TI form. You also have to attach a copy of the TFA1 form which you re- ceived from Health and Wel- fare Canada in January, 1983. it lists the total family allow• anccs you received during 1982, The 1 axation Department has a fairly broad definition of what is a dependent child. 1 he term does not just cover sons and daughters. It in- cludes adopted children. grandchildren, stepchildren and • in certain cases - nieces and nephews. What counts is that the child has for all or part of the year been solely dependent upon you, the claimer of the las exemption' for that child. EASTER SATURDAY ONLY 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. More than one taxpayer can claim exemption for the one child. That recognizes what occurs when there's been a divorce or separation, or a death, during the year. However, the combined amount claimed by a taxpayer and another taxpayer may not exceed the maximum claim allowed per child in 1982. FAMILY SeaforTh III met at the home of Brenda De Jong March 15.
