More News On Back Page Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Feb. 28, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Provincial Budget by Bob Watson Well, the federal government's budget has destroyed the provincial treasurer's neat balanced budget. So we can ex- pect the province will now raise some more taxes. And what is the easiest way to get taxes' Why, simply, by raising the tax on gasoline! Of course, it is promised to put money into roads and we can hear the Ontario taxpayers crying out: "Sure, sure, like the rest of the taxes on cars and drivers!" Unlike the federal government, the provincial govern- ment must worry about re-election sometime this year. So we expect some smooth tactics to make Queen's Park look good. The Liberals aren't worrying too much just yet because the provincial PCs don't seem to be hurrying to put an enthusiastic leadership campaign on the road. Hurry up, Tones - the public needs an alternative for voting! Mainstream Canada Buy now, pay later By Tern• O Shaughnessv Successful business people know when to cut their losses. And, taking a look at re- cent poll results which show that more than 70 per cent of the public opposes the 7 per cent Goods and Services Tax, it would seem that most Cana- dians would like the federal government to do the same by calling a halt to the controver- sial GST. Unlike a successful busi- ness, however, it seems the government is determined to ignore the obvious and plough ahead with the GST. A case in point is the recently an- nounced 514.2 -million "goods and services working group' that Finance Minister Michael Wilson hopes will sell the seri- ously flawed tax. The so-called "working group" will be supported by a S7.7 -million, two-year operat- ing budget, and will spearhead a massive self-styled "public information campaign" to "help" Canadians understand and accept the GST. This cam- paign will have at its disposal an enormous S4.5 -million ad%crtising budget to run through by the end of next month (the fiscal vear for the government ends on 'March 31st). A further S'_ -million is slated to be spent on addi- tional -public information" for the government's 1990-91 fiscal year. But this initiative is only the latest indication from the government that it is removing itself from dialogue with the public Earlier in the year, all face-to-face pre -budget consul- tations for 1990 were cancelled due to 'time constraints' caused by the GST. The government then announced that, contrary to past practice where budget details were available as soon as the budget was brought down, the distri- bution of budget documents was going to be restricted in the regions until the day after budget day (Feb. 20. 1990). And recently in the House of Commons, a visibly rattled and defensive Wilson first slammed John Bulloch. presi- dent of the Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Business, for his vehement opposition to the tax and then later admitted that the CFIB is providing valuable informa- tion on small business con- cerns with the GST: Bulloch says that Wilson's public posturing is just one symptom of a government under siege. "It is obvious that the fed- eral government cannot. and will not, take any criticism." says Bulloch. "They've can- celled the usual pre -budget consultations with business groups. They've restricted dis- tribution of the budget papers. And they think an advertising campaign will solve the prob- lem of the GST. But the Cana- dian public already knows that the GST combined with nine provincial retail sales- tax regimes will provide the worst sales tax system in the world. An advertising campaign that will insult our intelligence as well as waste our money is clearly not acceptable." The GST 'public informa- tion' campaign is nothing more than a slick exercise in public persuasion. And it probably won't work. The fact of the matter is, Canadians know that if they buy the GST now, they'll pay later.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Solutions Through Partnership For Subway It's easier to build a McDonald's in Moscow than it is to get a subway on Sheppard. But McDonald's is willing to try. McDonald's and Coca-Cola iThe Real Thing), along with the "Solutions Through Partnership Group" are working together to brainstorm designs for a people oriented future transit system on Sheppard Ave. McDonald's and Coke have agreed to provide their marketing expertise to help make the proposed Sheppard Transit System a reality.

By creating an environment that draws people to it, you ensure a higher level of public safety. The objective is to provide a warm and comfortable environ- ment with the most effective transit system to shop, eat and travel. Paul Stagl. Senior Vice -President of Arenxisruest Corp. is beading the ..Solutions Through Partnership" project. He has commissioned Thomas Consultants International Inc. to develop a Retail Task Force. Richard Talbot, Managing Partner of Thomas Consultants International will head up this task force spearheaded by Coke and McDonald's in the planning and development of this new concept of transit. Richard Talbot will be encouraging many other firms to contribute their input and experience in the planning and development of this new project. "Solutions Through Part- nership Group.. brings together public and private in- vestors who will focus their resources to make the proposed Sheppard transit system a reality in the near future. The International Group Inc., of London, New York and Toronto brings to the task force extensive experience in the integration of transit systems with community develop- ment. The International Group t Can.) will work together with The Retail Task Force to plan and develop the world class transit system that will service the North York and Scarborough communities with a vision for the future.

Instructors are biologist and turkey hun- ting guide Joe Weaver, and Kevin Townsend, the sport- sman who bagged the fust wild turkey shot in Ontario since the turn of the cen- tury. The seminar is sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Htmtets and is mandatory for all first- time turkey hunters in On- tario. It is also open, free of charge, to all interested nonhtmters. Seat reserva- tions should be made in ad - The Man Shek Tong ancestral hall is a fine example of the type of building which represents one of the deepest tenets of Chinese religious life —ancestor worship. While shopping and nightlife are likely to remain Hong Kong's major tourist attrac- tions, a growing number of North Americans may very well be seeking a different type of boliday. As if to make a wish come true. Hong Kong offers other sources of enjoyment for those looking to gain an in-depth ori- ental experience from their hmrney- HERITAGE TOURS The usual quick visit to any huge city can leave one with a fake perception of its com- plete offerings - Hong Kong being no exception. To counter this, a growing number of vacationers to Hung Kong arc adding heritage tours to their schedule. These cerebral and sc- renc ventures into the land's cultural past can offer visitors an insight which could not be appreciated from standard tour- ist fare alone. Although British influence has been present since IM I. the majority of Hong Kong's histor- ical points of interest remain Chinese in origin. The fascinating ancestortl sites alone are enough to war- rant a trip to Hong Kong. Not only do they dispel some of the cliches associated with this travel destination, but they add another level of experience to the 'Manhattan of the East'. Geographically, the large area of the New Territories of- fers many insights into the life- styles of centuries - old Chinese dynasties, as well as that of simple, modern day farmers. A day trip back into Hong Kong's ancient times is possible, through the Hong Kong Tourist Association's "Heritage Tour". The ancestoral, walled vil- lage of Sam Tung Uk provides a good representation of the rural way of life there. In con- trast, Tai Fu Tai is an extrava- gant house built in 1815 by a descendent of the affluent Man clan.

HISTORICAL REPLICAS Meanwhile, on Hong Kung Island, the newest des clopment recapturing Hong Kong's past is the Middle Kingdom. These structurally -detailed period set- tings cncapsulatc the life and time of 13 Chinese dynasties. Another true visual under- standing of Hong Kong's olden times n found in the Sung Dy- nasty Village in Kowkxsn. It's a virtual replica of a Chinese city from the era of A.D. WvO - 1279. For those who esteem the aesthctiL% of this culture, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Pao Sui Loong Galleries provide paintings- models and other creative works which chronicle the many tales of this region's people and its times P&Q. While all sites will provide a most fascinating. educational picture of Hong Kong's chron- ological and sociological evolu- tion, traditional temples are the sentimental favourite for many Forth American visitors. The fine detail and craftsmanship of these unique architectural shrines bear testament to the age-old Buddhist and Taoist re- ligions. Although today's Hong Kong is as technologically so- phisticated as any other world- class city, many old ways still prevail. Bamboo. flower boards and the abacus are still preva- lent today in Hong Kong's busy streets, markets and busi- ness community. INFLUENCE OF THE SEA Another long-standing sym- bol that ties Hong Kong's image to its past is its association with the sea The harbour and chan- nel surrounding Hong Kong's islands and mainland are the root of much folklore. The tech- niques used by Hong Kong's fishing community remain in- tact. Close to 5,000 fishing boats harvest the territory's catch in the same style used by their ancestors. Traditional spiritual respect for the sea is still continually exercised by today's seamen, with homage paid to the age-old goddess of fishermen, Tin Hau. Thc colourful Tin Hau Festival is celebrated each year with great pageantry. From the many sea -faring fleets in this fragrant harbour. the junk - probably the most recognizable symbol of Hong Kong - decorates tate temtory's miles of coastline. Unchanged from its original design, the junk %till sores as both fishing vessel and home w the many bouse-boat families. STAY AN EXTRA DAY When North American world travellers ponder a visit to fa- mous travel destinations, Rtnric, Greece and Paris gain prece- dence. Keep in mind, however. that there arc alternatives. Hong Kong offers the opportunity for an informative and relaxing ex- cursion into one of the world's great civilizations. Right in the midst of big -city comfort visi- tors can enjoy a vovagc of dis- covery into Hong Kong's intri- guing )cstcrycars. So, plan to stay at last an extra day. You'll need it to savour the richness of its history.

One does not enjoy seeing women dressed in shroud -like costumes looking like young Miss Havishams. Yes, one knows that the costuming is intended to convey the drab horror of field conflict but nothing alters the fact that it is depressing. And yes, one realizes as a reviewer of some years standing that a ballet is not to be judged on its costuming and setting; it is to be judged on the choreography and how well it is performed. Well, the coreog)raphy cannot be faulted as an ex- ercise in the skill of the dancers. It is intricate and demanding and applause is deserved by the company in responding to the challenge of Sir Kenneth's demands. But, it is not pleasing to the eye. It does not have the fluidity, the form that ex- empiifhes mace and elan. Yes again, we know that there is no grace or elan in war but damme, an au- dience attends the ballet to see ballet. not ewer . ence another's rightful outrage over its futility. Anyway, Gloria is a vir- tual ensemble effort and the company acquitted itself quite nicely. As an ensemble piece it is dif- fwWt to single out in- dividual achievement, and perhaps unfair, but we were much taken by the wort of Peter Ottmam and C inton LAckett and w always, Raymond Smith receives a compl mentary nod. The music is superb and sisperbly rendered by the Open in Chorus directed by Robert Cooper and by Soprano Rosemarie Lan- dry. One could well have closed one's eyes and simp- ly listened. A few times, one was sorely Gloria was the final to be presented. The first was Sir Kenneth's Concer- to, a plotless ballet intend- ed one supposes to sharpen, even bone the classical technique of the dancers. It does. Set to the music of Shostakovich beautifully counterpointed by the Na- tional's Gary Arbour at the piano the work draws, ex- tracts, squeezes the most out of dancers and a max- imum of audience ap- pr'eciaben- Much of that apprecia- tion was toward Sarah Green for her delightful htful solo in the third movement.

Jiri Kylian's Transfigured Night follow- ed. The highest praise one can give it is to state that the Verklarte Nactht score of Arnold Schonberg is so lush and expressive that one can forgive his obses- sion with the twelve tone scale. The story line is that of a woman who has to tell her lover that she is expecting a child by her husband whom she loves no more. The lover's consolation and understanding of her dif- ficult situation (sic!) makes her see the future with hope. They con -Sider the unborn child as the result of their love for each other. It is said to be full of drama and violent passion. No doubt it is the postoral setting that inspired one wag at intermission to sug- gest that it be retitled Mid- summer Night's Wet Dream. Joshing aside, it is a lyrical wort that uplifts and even inspires_ The dan- cing. . while touched with modernity, is true to the classic school and the melding of styles is pleasurable to see. One has an idea that it is pleasurable for the dancers as well. Owen Montague seems always to corrvey deep emotion and in the role of the htshand-his debut in it incidentally -he displayed his usual excellence as did Rex Harrington as the lover. Kimberly Glassco and Gizella WitkOwSTd im- pressed as always and James Tayor and Mark Snow made excellent debuts as the two shadowy figures. Guest conductor Jacques Beaudry continues to im- press with his authority and control while still allowing, where called for, a lushness that never crosses the line between pathos and bathos. Not the most satisfying of evenings perhaps but en- joyable in the main except for Gloria. Perhaps further viewings?

The law prohibits smoking in enclosed Ontario workplaces under provincial jurisdiction except in smoking areas designated by the employer. Designated areas in which smoking is permitted cannot exceed 25% of the total space of the workplace. "This is a straightforward piece of legislation, which will be relatively easy for employers to implement," Mr. Phillips said. If the employer decides not to designate a smoking area, he or she is required first to consult with the joint health and safety committees at their place of business, or with a similar committee in which employees participate or with the workers' health and safety representative. If there are no such committees or a health and safety representative, the minister said experience shows that it still makes sense for employers to talk to their workers about the policy. If the employer decides to designate smok- ing areas, the maximum size of the area is limited to 25% of the floor area of the workplace. Employers are required to post signs irdentifying designated smoking areas in the workplace. If an employee asks to be moved to a location away from a designated smoking area, the employer is required to make every reasonable effort to accommodate the request. This may involve moving the employee to another desk, section of work area, or a separate office. Employers, whether they have de simated a smoking area or chosen to prohibit smoking, are required within reason, to ensure that smoking is con(med to designated smoking areas or, if smoking is prohibited to ensure that no one smokes in the workplace. '*The new law cavrers all Ontario workpkam within pro- vincial Jurvidiction, ancornpass. — 3.9 million people at 233,000 places of employment," said Mr. Phillips. "The Hobby Show Hobbyists from all across Canada will be get - hag together Mar. 2, 3 and 4 at the Automotive Bmllding. Exhibitim Place for the third annual Spring Hobby Show.

The new law applies to Ontario workplaces within provin- cial jurisdictions. These include retail, commercial, manufacturing, and mining operations, hospitals, social agencies and educational institutions. Residential workplace areas, such as hotels and detention centres, are excluded from the legislation, as are vehicles and areas in which the public is served, such as public areas in restaurants.
