Go White! 'Trojans Let's Fight! This is the spirit at Pickering High School this week. I guess when you combine the P.A. Day we had and all the Valentine excitement together, you end up with athletes who just don't quit. They always say love makes people crazy, but this time it turned out for the better because these girls turned their craziness into a strong, hard perfor- mance. "Who are these girls... you ask'. They are none other than the Pickering Senior Girls Volleyball team_ The girls have suc- cessfully delated team after tam this year in tournament after tourna- ment. Now they just was their second tournament in two weeks. If you remember last week, it was !;;Pea; - we tournament they con- quered. This time it was our very own PALS. invita- tional tournament that they walked away with. The outstanding Playas were Ira Daniels and Sarah Rog AA few other top scorers are the Junior Girls' Volleyball team which beat O'Neill is to 1 and Dunbar - too 16 to 14. The player of the weep for this team was Elaine Duan. Lastly in sports, the Senior Boys' Basketball team won a game at our school winning by two points scored in the last few seconds. That was a close one. Who said boys were better than girls in sports? Equal is the word in our sem. Now a plea from the S.A.C.: it is looking for some outlandish ideas for this year's MOGA Madness event, MOGA meaning most outrageous group ac- tivity.

The Finance Committee has established a Subcom- mittee on Expenditure Priorities. The Finance Committee had the opportunity to meet with citizen groups, organizations, and in- dividuals from across Canada who were concern- ed about the impact of the GST on Canadians. During these meetings, the com- mittee became increasing- ly aware of the great con- cern over government spending - As a direct consequence of this attitude toward government spending, Rent Soetens M.P. called for the establishment of the subcommittee, and was subsequently voted as its chairman. "Since the people of Canada have very direct access to examples of where the government can better control its spending, it is important to receive their input. " The subcommittee is now inviting interested parties to submit their recommen- dations on how and where the government should review its spending priorities. Submissions should be as specific as possible, listing the ministry, the program, the funds allocated and as much detail as possible. Submissions should be forwarded to Clerk of the Subcommittee on expen- diture Priorities, Room 629. Wellington Building, House of Commons, Ot- tawa, Ontario. K1A OA6 or Fax 613986-1626. Once the submissions are examined, the subcommit- tee will decide if hearings are appropriate to seek fur- ther clarification of the comments that were made. It is requested that your submissions be received by March 19, 1990. Coordinators Meet Mar.1 The Volunteer Co- ordinators of Durham Region will be holding their annual general meeting on Thurs.

More News On Back Page Page 2 THE NEWS; POST Wed. Feb. 21, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Federal Budget by Bob Watson By the time this issue of our newspaper reaches readers, the 1990 federal budget will have been discussed very thoroughly by most Canadians. We would like to believe that Finance Minister Michael Wilson is going to cut federal expenditures drastically - but we don't believe he will. All the years that Michael Wilson has been in charge of finances at Ottawa we have noticed that the annual deficit has remained high - in the double digits of billions. Even his favourite new tax, the GST will not touch this deficit. It is obvious that he must make drastic cuts in costs to achieve a balanced budget and we don't believe he will. If we had a proper government at Ottawa it would not plan on the GST to aid the budget but raise income and cor- poration taxes and cut expenditures. Canadians would buy an increase in taxes if they believed that the extra taxes would reduce our SW billion national debt. An intelligent Ottawa government would tackle this approach - but we don't believe this particular government will face the issue squarely On The GST Dear Mr. Watson Your reply to Rene Soetens' letter concerning the new federal goods and services tax (News Post. Wednesday, Januar• 31. 1990, expressed a fear for your own industry's welfare after 1991• when it must face taxation at point of sale for the first time. it is very important to continue discussion on the GST. because only through open discus- sion in forums such as this one can Canadians' views be aired and understanding of all sides of the question be at- tempted. You called the tax inefficient and implied from your let- ter that the tax was tmfair to publishing and inconsistent with freedom of speech. Let us be clear that the tax will not be levied on what you print or how much you print, only on the cover price of the published item at point of sale. In this way. I do not see peoples' freedom of speech threatened by the GST In fact, shifting from an incomes -based tax to a consumption -based tax is more fair to the payers because it shifts the birder of paving to all Canadians conLsuming goods and services in Canada. instead of just that fraction watch are currently in their income -earning years. This meart-s that retired persons who have benefited over the years from federal expenditure that we are still in the pro- cess of paying off will be able to contribute. That would not be true unless the% were earning a taxable income under the old system. Basic economic theory calls income taxes "distortionary" because they can affect our decision bet- ween working and not working. Everyone has heard of the worker w -ho chooses not to work overtime because the net - of -tax pay is just not worth it. The worker chooses to substitute leisure time for overtime. In small businesses, where every employee's contribution is very important to the total operation• peoples' unwillingness to take the extra work because of low after-tax pay can be crippling to the company's survival when the job needs to be done. our GST is, unfortunately, also distortionary, because it does not apply equally to all goods and services - food will be exempted, for example. This means that people who spend relatively more on food than on other taxed items will end up paying less tax as a proportion of their income. It also means that people will want to spend relatively more on tax-free store-bought food, as opposed to having a taxed meal in a restaurant, say Economists call this the substitu- tion effect: you substitute into, or purchase proportionately more of the now relatively cheaper item untaxed food) than you would have with the same income before the distortionary tax. This is why economists w•ho specialize in tax policy 1 called public finance I like Dr. Jack !Mintz 1 then of Queen's University) advocate making the GST nondistor- tionary by having it apply equally to all the things we buy. I don't need to point out that exempting newspapers, books and magazines from the GST will have the effect of making people buy relatively more of these items through the substitution effect, at the expense of other taxed goods and services. As for the efficiency of the tax, just ask any New Zealander. They recently changed over from an incomes - based tax system to a 10% (nondistortionary) tax on all items I'm told they like it very well because it is easy to calculate at the checkout counter and seems much fairer to them than the previous system because everybody pays F'oostj a�� news Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111.

Here and There Affordable Options One-third of Metro Toronto homebuyers paid less than $200.000 to purchase their home last month.

Condominiums, noted Mr. Monanis, continued to be a popular option. Of the 514 condominiums reported sold by TREB Members in January, 368. or 72 percent- sold for less than $2W.000. Of course. 35 percent sold for less than 5150.0110. Flectricity Demand Up Ontario's electricity demand increased by 5 percent in 1989 over 1988. according to Ontario Hydro's preliminary year-end figures. Total demand for electricity in Ontario in 1989 was 140.8 million megawatt -!tours, compared to 1988's 134.4 million megawatt -hours. During the month of December. Ontario Hydro supplied over 1.1 million megawatt hours of electricity to Ontario consumers, about 10.6 percent more electricity than in December of 198& and they no longer pay income tax.-----• .................. I dant really see your industry being wiped out by a tax that applies to almost everything else. I also don't see the costs of collecting the GST exceeding the costs of the cur- rent system, but that is a matter of opinion, and only time will tell. I do know that we need to pay off our debt, and fast, because it is eroding our competitiveness on worid markets. and I think that that will be much more serious for small business in this country. The GST. once in place. will be mach easier to monitor than our current income tax system, and therefore less easy to cheat your way out of Mr_ Tim Reid, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce was quoted in Ottawa as follows: ' -If your federal deficit was on a Visa card. it would have been withdrawn several years ago." kQuote is from the Finan- cial Times of Canada. January 29, 1990. page 16.) In fact, we owe more money per capita than almost every OECD - member nation; we are also among the last of the OECD - member nations to carry out some type of tax reform. Homeowners recognize the importance of paying off our mortgages. and now all Canadians must face paying a huge mortgage on our country, for it will not go away if we ignore it. What is perhaps the most important lesson from this whole experience might be the subtlest: when we sent our MPs "to Ottawa to run the country", we should have watch- ed what they spent along the way. Yours sincerely, Barb Bloemhof Phd. Candidate. Queen's University Mainstream Canada A deafening silence By Terry O'Shaughnessy One thing you can always be certain of in a political leadership race is that, by the end of the campaign, you will know more about any of the candidates than you could ever possibly want to know. And as the 1990 federal Liberal leader- ship race gains momentum and more candidates declare themselves, the issues are already starting to emerge. To date, four MPs, one former MP and one former Quebec cabinet minister have joined the race to succeed retiring Liberal Leader John Turner. They include (in alpha- betical order): former cabinet minister Jean Chretien; Hamilton MP Sheila Copps; former Quebec cabinet min- ister Clifford Lincoln; rookie Montreal MP Paul Martin Jr.; and Toronto MPs John Nun- ziata and Tom Vlappel. Several other Liberals are also expected to announce their candidacy in the near future. Not long ago, the public got its first chance to sec and hear these six would-be party leaders when the first in a series of six debates opened in Toronto. (These debates are primarily an opportunity for the candidates to publicly %par over such issues as Meech Lake, free trades excessive cam- paign spending etc). And %par they did. Conspicuous by its absence, however, was one of the most important issues fac- ing Canadians: the controver- sial Goods and Sery ice% Tax. The GST, targeted for Jan. 1, 1991, will place a 7 per cent tax on most goods and services in combination with nine vary- ing provincial retail sales tax rates. This two-tier tax will cre- ate huge amounts of extra paperwork for small retailers as well as confusion at the counter where consumers will no doubt be baffled at, for example, one purchase that will be taxed only federally, another purchase that will be taxed only provincially, yet another that will be taxed both federally and provincially, and still another that won't be taxed at all. And this doesn't even begin to address the sim- ple fact that Canadians will be using more of their ever - shrinking income to pay more taxes. According to John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Busi- ness, the Liberal leadership hopefuls have a responsibility to deal with the controversial GST. "The Goods and Services Tar will create the worst sales tax system in the world," says Bulloch, "and any potential national leader must address this issue in a public forum. In the months ahead, Canadians will be waiting to hear what each candidate's position on the tax is—including any alter- native plan." Try as they might, it isn't very likely that any of the seri- ous candidates will be able to duck the GST issue for long. They all owe it to the country to clearly state what their views are on this tax. CFO FeWwo Swv ce 2 Plays At Leacock C. I. Stephen Leacock C.

Feb. 21, 1990 BN Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The calendar says it's still Winter; La Fille Mal Sard6e is set in Harvest time but, for us, its presen- tation by the National Ballet at The O'Keefe is a sure harbinger of the Spr- ing for which we all long. La Fille is a seeming simple, not quite earthy work about young love in a bucolic setting, triumphant over the constraints of so called convention. It is also a return to the Mother Earth virtues that have sustained � ages and whichwell have to sustain us after a Destruction which is sure to come. On the evening of our at- tendance the lovers were danced by Kim Iightheart and Jeremy Ransom. One is hard pressed to think of a better pairing.

Dining Room Service and emoting skills, they not only look young, they are young and bring to the roles a naturalness that mere clever artifice can- not. Miss Lightheart has a regal face but as Use it is all girl lwoman and all ap- pealing. It is not difficult to empathize with Colas' ar- dent love for her. In the role of Colas Mr. Ransom, he of the slim to the point of ,slight body, transforms a simple, lusty farmer into a man of grace and good bearing; of charm and distinction. Technically speaking Toth have individual strong points. For Miss Lightheart it would seem to be her at- titude; we risk repetition by suggesting that she is the successor to Veronica Tennant in that skill. It is nicely manifest in the mini - May pole dance. Mr. Ransom is the master of the fouettty, a movement in which a dancer. standing on one leg uses the other to turn his body, in a complete circle and produce a whipping motion. It is a dizzying yet electrifying experience and, as we say. Mr. Ran- som seems well on his way to making it his own. The two dance well together as well.

Their pied 6 pied movements are disciplined and familiar reflecting their long experience together going back to when both were students at the National Ballet School. They have both come a long way and we confident- ly predict that they are go- ing even further in the world of dance. They have not yet peaked. One should mention others in the cast of course. Hazaros Surmeyan danc- ed the rale of the widow Simone, the mother of Use, and brought not only great skill to it but much humour as well. The widow is always danced by men -sort of a Charley's Aunt of ballet,vW they enjoy an op- portunity for some fun. Mr. Surmeyan however, is most surprising in the role because off stage he ap- pears dour and glum. What a delight to see him senile and what a delight to see him perform some mean cling dancing Andrew Needhammer was almost too good as the simpleton Alain intended as the husband of Lise.

Now, where are those damned sneakers' ON RECORD 1: You've probably read about it in the Sun's Lifestyle section and in R.P.M. Magazine but if not, allow us to comment on Beethoven Lives Upstairs, a Juno nominee for Best Children's Album. Beethoven Lives Upstairs ( Classical Kids) is the second in a series of works by Susan Hammond, a woman passionately dedicated to the ideal of in- troducing children to fine music.

The man is, of course, the great Mr. B. and throughout the ex- change of letters one hears the music of Beethoven beautifully played by an or- chestra especially commis- sioned for the album. It is a splendid way to br- ing children to the music of one of the masters. As an adult our only criticism, and it's a specious one, is that we find the narrative an intrusion on the music. Children however will love it. As soon as this report is filed our cassette will be sent to the grandchildren. We have met Mrs. Ham- mond, a charming, hand- some woman, and make so bold as to repeat a sugges- tion we made to her at that first meeting. Given that there are to be more works in the series, we would like to recom- mend one on the works of Eric Coates. Not only are his compositions vital and often exciting, they have also been seminal in- fluences on others, not the least of whom is Fritz Lerner. ON RECORD 11: First, you should know that your correspondent uses two notebooks for his hen scratching while reviewing. For no par- ticular reason we use limp leather for boll polloi attrac- tions and hard cover for others. Well, there we were the other evening at The Horseshoe. home of the boi polloi with our limp leather notebook to bear Pat Tem- ple and The High Lonesome Player presen- ting selections from their new album Stone Boat (Vox Wingwalkeri. We don't think we used the right notebook _ but we're not sure. The music of the High Lonesome Players is somewhere between Don Messer and Owen Bradley; King Ganam and Stephan Grappelli: Western Swing as played by Spade Cooley. and Cross Over. Heck, when the clarinet gets go- ing it might even be Hungarian wedding party music' What ever it is, it's good' This is vox pop music and anyone who can't find anything in it to enjoy simply doesn't have any music in his soul. We won't list all the selections on the album, (listened to as soon as we got home from The Horseshoe). Let it suffice that all are good. We par- ticularly enjoy the upbeat numbers but the slow violets might be the choice of others. Certainly, the lat- ter are almost achingly emotional. It's time to confess that we hadn't heard of Pat Temple and High Lonesome before but hope to hear more of and from them in the future.

As an example of what to expect, one tip given is that car keys should be carried in the waist hand of shirts or slacks to save precious seconds otherwise spent fumbling in a purse. It promises to be a wor- thwhile show but we fund it sad that such a show should be necessary. In Heaven's name, what is happening to our cities? We have what we believe is an answer to the increase in violent crime. It is suffi- cient punishment. We have no intention of stirring argument on the death penalty. Incarcera- tion is meaningless. It's ex- pensive and no one ever comes out of prison better than he was when entering. (Prison sentences are never served in full anyway . . probably because of the expense.) So, what is sufficient punishment? What is suffi- cient to prevent a repeat of- fence? Mark us as a bar- barian if you will, but we suggest the lash. No one -no oche -will ever risk a second lashing. Think about it while you watch City Sense. FAST EXIT: "For here we have no continuing city." Hebrews 13:14.

Add biodegradable kit- chen waste, such as fruit skins, rinds and cores, vegetable trimmings, cof- fee grounds, filters and tea bags, old household plants and even paper towels, all winter long. Never add meat, bones, fat or dairy products. Next spring, when the temperature rises above freezing, rake -up garden refuse and add it along with three shovels of earth to your composter and mix leaves, kitchen waste and earth together; in three to five weeks, you will have a supply of humus; and don't forget to leave six inches of compost in your bin as a base for summer com- Posti,ng.

Scarborough Centre Ontario Government Expands Efforts to Prevent Violence Against Women Mavis Wilson, Minister Responsible for Women's issues, recently introduced a comprehensive long-term strategy to address sexual assault. New funding of $28.8 million will be used to raise awareness of sexual assault against women, increase funding for rape crisis centres, improve emergen- cy health care for victims and increase resources for the criminal julstice system. One in four women is sexually assaulted - often by so- meone she knows. Women live with the fear of sexual assault and adjust their daily lives accordingly. Sexual assault has long-term devastating effects on its victims and the new five year strategy is aimed at providing support to victims of sexual assault. Funds will go to raising the public's awareness and changing attitudes towards sexual assault. Grants to com- munity organizations acknowledge the important role of local communities in raising public awareness and dispell- ing the myths that perpetuate sexual assault. Public educa- tion materials will be developed to complement and support local education efforts. A sexual assault education package will also be developed for use in schools. Local community groups are encouraged to develop proposals and apply for grants which support local initiatives. Sexual assault is a senou s crime. The integrated strategy recognizes that the justice system plays a critical role in addressing issues of wriolerice against women. Funding will go to train police, Crown Attorneys and correctional ser- vices staff, and to provide additional resources to assist vic- tam and witnesses during the court process. Emergency sexual assault care for women will be significantly improved by the designation of sexual assault care centres in 22 hospitals. Other health counselling ser- vices and training for health care professionals will also receive funds. At The Scarborough Public Libraries CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS P.

Queen's Report from Nor>h Stoner MPP Durham West The Ontario Motorist Protection Plan is a comprehensive package of reforms that addresses the underlying causes - not merely the symptoms - of rising auto insurance rates. What are the underlying causes of higher rates? First, there are simply more drivers on our roads than ever before. The number of licensed drivers in Ontario has risen sharply from 4.7 million in 1978 to more than six million to- day. Traffic congestion and "gridlock" have become a fact of life in urban centres. Second, the number of accidents and injuries continues to escalate. There were 203,000 automobile accidents and 121,000 injuries reported in Ontario in 1987. This human carnage is the real reason why auto in- surance premiums are rising. And the monetary cost is staggering - bodily injury claims totalled $1.8 billion in 1988 alone! Other factors contributing to higher insurance premiums are more costly repairs and larger court awards and set- tlements. It is questionable whether the current tort -based system, with its threat of lawsuits for negligent driving, has any deterrent value. If so, why are accidents and injuries conti- nuing to mount? The new system recognizes that the best deterrence to bad driving comes from criminal sanctions, higher in- surance premiums for bad drivers, vigilant enforcement and better education. Deterrence will be a key component of the new auto in- surance system. Fault will continue to be used for rating purposes. That means bad drivers will be paying higher in- surance premiums, and good drivers will be rewarded with preferred rates. In addition, those found criminally responsible for ac- cidents will not receive income replacement under the plan. There will be stepped up enforcement of highway traffic lacus. Fines will be substantially increased for speeding and other traffic offenses. Seat belts and daytime use of headlights will be pro- moted- It is estimated that a 10 percent increase in the use of seat belts alone could save as many as 8o lives and pre- vent more than 000 injuries a year in the province. Drunk drivers will be dealt with severely under the new plan. People convicted of impaired driving willnQt be eligi- ble for income replacement benefits if injured Repeat of- fenders will be required to seek treatment and provide po- ol of having effectively dealt with their problem before driving privileges will be reconsidered. These and other measures initiated under the OMPP will help reduce the costs and risks of driving. The benefit for all motorists in Ontario, will be more stable, affordable rates in years to come. LOCAL UPDATE Tune in and watch the Stoner Report on Pickering Cable T.V. Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 1 p.m. Please don't hesitate to call my office at 68367W if I can be of some assistance to you. We are located at 2 Randall Drive in Pickering Village, Ajax. The door is always open! with Rene Soetens, M.P. Due to stalling tactics by the members of the opposition, the federal government was forced to invoke closure on the debate of the GST legislation. Opposition tactics had effec- tively rendered any chance of intellectual and thought- provoking debate fruitless. Now that the Bill has passed its second reading in the House, it will be sent to the Finance Committee. The committee's job will be to study the Bill clause by clause, and attach amendments where deemed appropriate. I am certainly looking forward to reviewing this legislation. It was a pleasure speaking to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario on Mon. Feb. 5. We had an ex- cellent discussion regarding the effect of the GST on in- dividual municipalities and hopefully many misconceptions were cleared up. The views expressed by many of the 500 in attendance were that the government should cut its ex- penses. I am sure that these calls will be answered by the minister in our next budget. The Rt. Hon. John Turner stepped down as the official Op- position leader in the House of Commons. Although Mr. Turner will stay on as M.P. for Vancouver Quadra until a new leader is chosen, this announcement effectively ends the career of an excellent Parliamentarian and a true Canadian. I wish Mr. Turner the best of luck over the next few months and in his future private endeavours. Recently across Ontario, various municipalities have been adopting resolutions rendering them as officially und- ingual. In response to these events, Prime Minister Mulroney has put forth a resolution which would reaffirm support for the language duality of Canada. It will be in- teresting to see how events unfold over the next few mon- ths.
