The judgment indicates that education about religion without in- doctrination is permissible provided that a multi - denominational perspec- tive prevails. The Ministry of Education is currently studying the judgment with a view to providing school boards with clear direc- tives. Let's Kill The GST! Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Mar. 7, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Referendum on GST Needed DAVID SOMERVILLE Instead of trying to impose the immensely unpopular Goods and Services Tax on Canadians, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney should try a more democratic option. He should give to Canadians the opportunity to choose, through a national referendum, whether or not to accept the proposed 7 per cent tax. Further, if Canadians, after reflection and debate, vote to implement the GST, they should also have the power to decide through a referendum during a federal general election if the rate should be increased. Many would argue that such a referendum policy would go against the tradition of Parliamentary supremacy. Parliament would still remain sovereign, however. because it would have to agree to the first and any subsequent referendunss on the GST. The time has definitely come lo give Canadian voters a say in rhe size of the tax burden they must bear. Certainly, if left to politicians, the tax burden would only continue to Increase. Indeed. since 1983 there have been 33 separate tax increases of all kinds. Now the federal govenunent proposes to impost the GST. which will increase the tax burden on Canadians by a further $4 to S6 billion. The politicians need the GST and the other tax increases because they are caught in a terrible spiral of tax, borrow and spend, spend, borrow and tax. No matter how much politicians take from Canadians they never seem to have enough of our money to pay for their promises. Government spending, simply put, is out of control and Canadians are paying the bill. Understandably, Canadians are growing weary of this situation. A recent Gallup poll showed that 93 per cent of Canadians believe the government should reduce the deficit with spending cuts and not with higher taxes. The polls also slaw that 79 per cent of Canadians oppose the GST. Moreover, it is opposed in every region of the country and across party lines. Mr. Mulroney's government, however, is not listening. That's why Canadians should deride the issue of the GST. Refcrendurns are used quite regularly in countries like Switzerland and the United States and there is no reason why they couldn't be used successfully in Canada. The onus is on the Prime Minister. He should trust Canadians to make the right decision. (DavidSo~ry lit As presdext of ThrNwsoPal Caiww* Coalawn ) For An Integrated Balanced Transportation Network The Metropolitan Toronto Official Plan is currently undergoing review. As part of that process, transportation requirements and issues are being reviewed. A persistent and recurring theme in the staff reports is that while the ex- isting mass transit system and road network must be op- timized, ultimately more roads must be built because the car is the preferred mode of travel. Why do more people not take mass public transit I i.e. the TTC)? The concise answer is simply this: the private automobile provides safe, convenient, comfortable, and virtually door -to door service. The ITC (with the exception of the expensive Abeel-Trans service I can never replace the private car. Both forms of transportation will continue to share the market with one mode dominant in certain areas at different times. The ITC is a form of mass public transit and only makes sense where masses of the public congregate, i.e. in high density areas along major arterial roads or nodes. Before we rush into the 90's continuing to parrot the policies of the 60's, 70's and en's, let's examine more closely %%bv most people continue to favour the private automobile. Approximately 70% of the 5 million person trips made either to, from, or within Metro Toronto are made via cats. Approximately 20% are made on the TTC. This data is from The Transportation Tomorrow Survey conducted in 1986. More recent studies by the TTC and Metro Toronto have clearly and unequivocally projected increased congestion on Metro roads due to more frequent use of the auto both within Metro and from outside Metro. Why is this? Let's news " o s t Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited. Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

If an individual lives on the subway line or very close to it (e.g. Yonge At Sheppard), and works on or close to it (e.g. Yonge & Bloor I, that individual is most likely to use the mass public transit system - expecially if he she does not have to travel during the day. However, the farther away one lives and the more tarsfers one must make and the more frequently one must move about (especially at odd hours), mass public transit diminishes in its appeal. It is probably least attractive if one travels by bus or streetcar at rush hour. Vehicles are crowded and very unappealing if travelling a long distance: increasing unreliability (fre- quent subway malfunctions) means passengers may miss a connecting ride (i.e. the GO train). Only the economically transit -dependent rider can be captive to mass public transit. Others have choices and will exercise those optiors because it gives them a sense of con- trol oo-trol over their increasingly controlled lives. Where else but in your own car can you sit in relative comfort listening to yrour favourite radio station or tape? Where else can you have a private conversation with a passenger of your cboos- ing or a private conversation on a tar phone' Given those circumstances, is it any wonder that one would prefer the private auto with one's own private space when stuck in traffic congestion to being on a crowded bus in that same traffic? Even bicycles are a partial reflection of that desire to control one's life, although bicycle -riders themselves are more likely to cite an anti -pollution stance to justify their disdain for the private car specifically, and to a lesser degree, mass public transit. While every effort should be made to encourage the use of mass public transit as a viable option, by improving the system and perhaps even by allowing greater densities along the routes, let is not set public policy to allow citizens to be held captive to public transit, especially in the event of accidents, mechanical failures, and labour -management strife. Let us also recognize that an efficient road system is not solely for the private auto. It is also vital to the opera- tion of mass public transit, since over 80% of TTC routes use that road system. That is not even taking into account the movement of goods or emergency vehicles! There is another aspect in this debate on public transpor- tation policy that has not been sufficiently aired. The rela- tionship between transportation policy and the cost of hous- ing. The greater the inconvenience of travelling to and from work, the greater is the upward pressure on the price of housing - it is directly proportional I When a person is com- muting to the City of Toronto from Barrie or St. Catharines ( both are currently happening) and the commuting time is steadily increasing, it takes time away from leisure and family time. That individual is going to become increasing- ly frustrated and start moonlighting or doing overtime and even have his her spouse find a job (if not already working ) so that they can move closer to work if circumstances pre- vent their relocating outside Metro. That bids up the price of housing and is a significant factor that has been overlook- ed in the debate on transportation and on housing policy. In order to cope with transportation and housing issues.

The donation was secured by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada which is working with the hospital and the Ontario Ministry of Health to develop an in- novative program, at Runnymede for care of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). New Speeding fines Take Effect Ontario Transportation Minister William Wrye has an- nounced that higher fines for speeding offences will go into effect March 1, 1990. Under the new schedule, maximum fines will triple at the top end of the scale. For example, those convicted of driv- ing 60 km over the speed limit could pay $585. up from $195 under the existing schedule. A conviction for driving 15 km above the posted limit will cost as much as $45, instead of $18.75. ex not only must existing road infrastructure be optimized, but new roads must ultimately be constructed to accommodate the growth in both automobile and surface mass transit vehicles (buses, streetcars I . Funding will also have to be found. Will it be municipal' Hopefully not! Will it be provincial or even federal funding? Will it be private? Regardless of how it's going to be funded and wherever the funding is going to come from, let's start making some rational and practical decisions with more of a global perspective and pay less attention to the selfish, narrow views of those who would like to dwell in the past. Public transportation and housing policy in the 90's must first recognize, then achnow•ledge, and ultimately reflect the reality that the private automobile will continue to be the primary, and in some cases. the only, node of transpor- tation for many people. Social engineering can only go so far; automotive engineering in the form of the private automobile and surface mass transit vehicles cannot be wished or legislated out of existence. Hopefully, public debate and public policy in the 90's will acknowledge the mutually -dependent relationship of transportation and housing and the need to expand our ex- isting road sytem so we can have an integrated and balanc- ed transportation network and a happier citizenry.

Ltravelj Wining & Dining On Club Med's Cruise Ship Club Med 1 will break new ground in cruise ship dining by doing what Club Med has been doing for for- ty years: celebrating life with food and wine. In contrast to other cruise ships where passengers march by the hundreds to a rigid schedule of dining at the same table day after day, guests on Club Med 1's seven day Caribbean cruises this winter will have options. Variety, not just of menus, but of restaurants, table compa- nions, and dining styles, in an atmosphere of friendly informality will be the order of the day. In keeping with Euro- pean custom, in which a glass of wine is com- plementary to a Pule meal, wine on board Club Med 1 is free of charge. There is also a wine list from which guests can purchase their personal favourites. Recognizing that each vacationer has different tastes, even within the same day, meals on Club Med 1 offer variety and flexibility. Breakfast. for example, ranges from S a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and can be taken in the skipper Bar, the Odyssey Restaurant or terrace. For total luxury there's even breakfast in bed. Lunch comes in two op- tions. with variations: a more formal menu service in Le Louisiane Restaurant or the traditional and famous Club Med buffets in the Odyssey. There are also lavish and famous Club Med buffets in the Odyssey. There are also lavish on shore buffets while in port, such as a snorkeling picnic in An- tigua and buffets on the beach in St. Thomas and Vu•gin Gorda. Tea, complete with French pastries, is served with elegance in the Topkapi Longe and Piano Bar. Dinner on Club Med I caters to the individual guest's appetite and m- clinations. Single seating and continuous service enables passengers to come and go as they please. The lack of reserv- ed tables provides the op- tion to socialize and make new acquaintances, or to enjoy a cozy dinner for two. Le Louisiane offers din- ing in an elegant style, with table service and a wide- ranging menu. The Odyssey, on the other hand, provides the opportunity to sample Club Med's interna- tional buffets and theme dinners, which are an- nounced each evening in the ship's newletter.

Wed. Mar. 7,19M THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Beware Of Rip-offs On Your Way South CAA Toronto is warning motorists to beware of ser- vice station rip-offs if travelling south this year. The area of particular con- cern is Interstate 75 in the southeast United States. "While we presently only have one case," said Pat Curran of CAA Toronto, "it was a typical case of an at- tempt to bilk travellers through trickery, fraud and intimidation. Over the years, we have heard of numerous cases of slashed fan belts and tines, oil squirted on fuel pumps and shock absorbers that are among some of the methods employed in this type of racket. The latest trick appears to be squir- ting coolant on the radiator and also suggesting pro - Mems with the fan clutch." In order to protect yourself against service station rip-offs, CAA Toronto says that the first step is to have your car thoroughly checked over by your own mechanic before starting out on a trip. When you stop to pur- chase gas, get out of the car and watch the service man as he checks out anything around the car or under the hood. If you must leave the car, wait until all service has been performed, then move the car away from the pumps. If a service station atten- dant should suggest that there is something wrong with the car, you should always insist on verifica- tion before spending money on an unnecessary car repair. When buying a Sweeten Up Your Spring With Tasty Maple Syrup Awaken your taste buds this spring with the sweet, natural taste of maple syrup at Bruce's Mill Con- servation Area. Bruce's Mill, near Stouff- ville, north of Markham, is featuring a self -guided tour through its sugar bush, dai- ly, from Mar. 10 to Apr. 8. Visitors can see how native Indians and pioneers tap- ped trees and made syrup. and how trees are tapped with modern-day technology - linking trees with vacuum lines to the sugar shack. In addition to the sugar bush, the newly -restored Bruce's Mill is open throughout the maple syrup season. It's one of the few water -powered flour mulls left in Ontario, can- plete with milling equip- ment from 1890s. Celebrate the restoration of this historic building on the weekend of Mar. 24-25. Events include face pain- ting for kids. wandering musicians, husky dogs and sled rides for kids, horse drawn wagon rides, maple cookery by the Melville Community Church, and guided tours through the sugar blah. On Sun. Mar. 25 only. visitors can enjoy a presen- tation by Robert Clow on old Ontario nulls. Bruce's Mill Conserva- tion Area is located on Stouffville Rd. three kms east of Highway 404.

It is also helpful to pay by means of credit card. Should it later develop that you have been victimized, you have a good record of the dealings. One other type of fraudulent action by ser- vice stations, cautions CAA, involves credit card invoices.

Mar. 7, 1990 ON Th final offering of the spring season at The O'Keefe was another evening of three one act ballets. One of them was a world premiere of David Parsons' The Need. Of it, a churl might say why? About it, a reviewer must attempt to describe Mutat.

If your mind's eye can picture it, then you might have some idea of The Need to the original score ,of Miichael Raye, set design by Jerrard Smith and choreographed by Michael Parsons. The Need seems -seems - to be a plea of sorts of some :kind of middle ground bet- ween the excesses of suc- cess seeking and the despair of the gutter world of the drug junkie. To that supposed end one watches grey flanneled Madison Avenue types dance like manic marionet- tes into a state of exhaus- tion ( reminiscent of Jack Buchanan's "Dance Fools! Dance!" in The Band- wagon) and also a gutter dweller suffering the hor- ror of drug denial. ( Jeremy Ransom is the saddest waste and misuse of talent since Richard Burton in Exorcist 11.)

Around and Abou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide David Parsons now joins the aforementioned Danny Grossman and Robert Desrosiets as a charter member of the Three Mus- ty Steers. The setting probably seemed provocative in the planning stages but a bed suspended near the roof (and occupied throughout, we add, by a company member pretending to sleep) is a distraction at best and an annoyance at worst. And, what is one to make of the down to the au- dience right tableau of peo- pie eating pasta without ceasing? Or, the couch potatoes in upper left? Or . oh. the devil with it! The only merit in The Need that this now increas- ingly crusty observer could determine was the score. Canducted by the composer it is filled with a power that remains subservient to melody. One wishes, hopes that it will find its way into the recording studios. It deserves recognition .. on its own. The evening had opened most pleasurably with Balarxhine's Serenade to the music of Tchaikowsky's Serenade in C Major for String Or- chestra (with the third and fourth movements transposed - Ah bliss! C3assic bell tutus bathed in blue, gallant yang mea, flowing rhythms, superb movements .. what ballet truly is or should be. Remember, too, that Balanchine was a moder- nist but he never sur- rendered classical discipline, that same discipline that dynamotiz- ed Gizella Witkowski and Dominique Dumais to equal the daaLng bravura of Karen Kain in Charming pas de trois. Allow us to comment again, too, on what we perceive as a new strength and confidence in the corps since the succession of Reid Anderson to Artistic Director. The final work of the evening was the delightful and always enjoyable Elite Syncopation. Set to ragtime music it is a joyously hu mourous sex- ual rite of passage display that cannot possibly offend anyone. And any one who doesn't appreciate the classic intricacies of ragtime doesn't deserve to hear it. In ragtime pianist con- ductor Janis Nelson The National has found a wor- thy successor to the late John Goss. Not that there was anything the matter with John Arpin previously but his strength at the keyboard could on occasion interfere with the beat of the dancers. Not so with Miss Nelson. We think, too. that An- drew Needhammer might now be ready to occupy the spot left cruelly vacant by the departure of David Roxander. His dance of the Alaskan Rag with Mr. Rox- ander's long time partner Gizella Witkowski was a comic delight. Has he been partnered as yet, one wonders, with the deliciously leggy Domini- que Dumais? Karen Kain and Serge Davoie danced well in the Concert Waltz, Bethena and Kim Ughtheart con- tinued her progress into earthiness with an eye pop- ping solo in Calliope Rag. TchaikowskylBalan- chine, Raye and RagtimelMacKdlan make for a most pleasant evening of ballet. Astute readers will observe one name omitted from the ON STAGE: The novel Peter Pan was first published in 1904. Since then it has been seen on stage and screen in seeming innumerable ver- sions. Arguably the best known one is that in which the redoubtable Mary Mar- tin played the role of the eternal youth. Those who did not have the opportuni- ty to see her as Peter Pan on stage had the privilege of seeing her reprise the role on television. Would you believe then that this "latest" version is now 35 years old? It doesn't really matter: just as the title character is ageless. so is the play itself and the music that now ac- companies it. The 35th anniversary production of Peter Pan ar- rives at The O'Keefe on Mar. 20th and will run to Mar. 25th. We suspect the fine hand of shrewd Martin Onrot, General Manager of The O'Keefe in bringing this excellent show in for the Spring Break. Starring in the title role will be Cathy Rigby, the Gold Medal Gymnast who is now also known as a ager actress. Peter Pan is among the sweetest of stories in literature and on stage is an enduring and pleasure. See it withso- meone you love. ON SCREEN: Cinespbere has a fine at- traction lined up for Spring Break as well. It's The Bear, the compelling story of a bear cub fighting for survival in the wilderness. As a thinker we often find ourself at odds with the savagery of life in The Creator's overall scheme of things. We do not, for one moment, suggest that a film such as The Bear resolves one's doubts about a reason for universal har- shness before the achieve- ment of love but it can act as a palliative. It is most certainly fine entertainment for the fami- ly. The Bear runs from Mar. 12th to the 18th and is followed by Disney's The little Mermaid. Intellec- tuals, some in any case, have been making mock of it and suggesting that it is not true to the spirit of the original by Hans Christian Andersen. Is that Bad? Andersen was a tortured man whose stories owe their continu- ing popularity only to the fact that they were incor- rectly translated. In the 3rd.

ON RECORD: In October of 1988 when reviewing the original cast albuan of Les Miserables (Relativity'WEA) we stated that it was ••somewhat disappointing . or at least disappointing away from the show." This was followed by "we predict it will sell well but that most of the purchases will be made by people after they have seen the show." Allow us some satisfac- tion in repotting now that the Broadway sound track is now number four (4) on the pop charts and still cinnbing. The only damper on our enthusiasm is that it trails behind Elton John, Eddie Money and Kiss. IN CONCERT: The final recital of the Canadian Opera Codnpany's 10th anniver- sary Ensemble series takes place this Sunday at the Tanenbaum Opera Centre.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law(s) by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the City of Scarborough not later than the 27th. day of March, 1990, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law(s) and the reasons in support of the objection. Last summer, ~OVERSIZED HOUSING" regulations were added to certain residential Communities located in South-West Scarborough and in North-West Scarborouqh. The By-laws listed above in some instances modify the regulations adopted last Summer. add some regulations for single-family. two-family. and sometimes street townhouse dwellings. and extend the area of application to most of the rest of the City. The new regulations include maximum total floor area, maximum basement height, maximum height of dwelling, maximum number of storeys, and minimum rear yard, together with new definitions. Not all regulations and definitions were added to all By-laws. Copies of these By-law Amendments for individual Communities. and maps of the areas affected. are available from the Clerk's Office during regular office hours.

M1PAN7 - CITY OF SCAR BOROUG H NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF SCARBOROUGH OVERSIZED HOUSING TAKE NOTICE THAT THE Council of the Corporation of the City of Scarborough passed By-law 22895 on the 28th. day of February, 1990, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, 1983. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the City of Scarborough not later than the 27th. day of March, 1990, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. Last summer, "OVERSIZED HOUSING" regulations were added to certain residential Communities located in South-West Scarborough and in North West Scarborough. This By-law modifies the regulations adopted last Summer. In one portion the Amendment applies to the south-west corner of Scarborough (Birchcliff), and it adds regulations for rear yard garages. All of the Community By-laws north of Highway 401 contain a maximum height regulation for apartments in the general provisions. Since the Oversized Housing By- laws introduce a height definition that was not intended to affect height of apartments, this Amendment was introduced so that height could continue to be measured at the front wall of apartment buildings. Copies of the By-law Amendment, and maps of the areas affected, are available from the Clerk's Office during regular office hours. A key map is not provided due to the large areas involved.

Hints From Scarborough Fire Dept. Misuse of electricity and electrical appliances can cause shocks, bodily in- juries and even death. Never leave toasters and small appliances within the reach of youngsters who are unattended. And don't forget to roll up all elec- trical cords not in use. Did you know that the majority of burn victims are injured by hot liquids and grease, and that most of these victims are young children. Don't leave children alone in the kit- chen while food is being prepared. And, if a burn does occur. put cold water on it immediate!),. Burns from hot water can be very dangerous. Adults should remember that children shoWd not be left unattended at bath time. And don't forget to test bath water before let- ting a child get into the tub. A microwave oven can cause burns if it's not used properly. Since they vary in cooking power• deter- mine safe heating times and energy settings for your microwave oven. And don't forget, when heating foods for young children, check the temperature of the food before allowing the child to eat it.

Reducing the deficit is part of our long-term economic plan that is building a stronger and more competitive economy. It works together with privatization, deregulation, the Labour Market Development Strategy, Free Trade and sales tax reform, to build a prosperous economy with more jobs and greater opportunities. We must continue to reduce the deficit if we are to build a secure future for all Canadians. A lower deficit means lower inflation, lower interest rates, less of a debt burden. It meals we will have more flexibility to make choices on our own priorities as Canadians - for instance, to invest in new programs for the environment or regional develop- ment, or to lower taxes. On Feb. 20th, the Hon. Michael Wilson tabled his sixth budget as Canada's Finance Minister. The budget is a com- prehensive two-year approach to expenditure control. It does not entail any permanent structural changes in major programs but yields substantial and ongoing fiscal savings. it affects sixty -percent of government program spending and will ensure that over the next two years, total program spending will increase at a rate well below the average rats of inflation. The following are some of the major initiatives put forth in the Expenditure Control Plan as outlined in the budget. The Canadian Exploration Incentives Program, the OSLO Oil Sands project in Alberta and the Polar 8 Icebreaker Pro- Ject were all eliminated. The Secretary of State, National Health and Welfare, Small Craft Harbours and social horn- ing had their funding reduced. The government is instituting a policy that will eliminate grants to businesses. Financial contributions will be repayable, rather than straight grants of subsidies. We will proceed with the privatization of some of our crown car- porations, wind tip the operations of some agencies, and ask profitable crown corporations to return more dividends to the government. Public utilities Income Tax transfers and the budgets of the CBC, Telefilm Canada, Export Development Corpora- tion, Marine Atlantic and the Legal Aid Cost -Sharing Ar- rangements will be frozen over the next two years. Science and Technology, Indian and Inuit Programs, Canada Assistance Plan, Defence and Foreign Aid will have their annual spending growth constrained to 5%. Established Program Financing to the provinces will also be frown over the next two years. This will mTresent less than 1% of total provincial revenue in 9491 and lust over 1% in 91-912. The federal government will be transferring about $9.3 billion to the government of Ontario in 199491, or about $956 per person, despite thw: fact that the federal debt burden is much greater than the provinces. Federal debt charges account for 35 cents of every dollar; the com- parable figure for Ontario is only about 11 cents. The expenditure control pian as outlined in the budget does not apply to major federal transfers to persons. Such transfers include Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Spouses Allowance, Family Aid and UIC. Equalization and Canada Assistance Plan payments to equalization -receiving provinces were also left untouched. There are no new taxes in this budget. However. several changes are proposed that will improve the management of the incase tax system or increase fairness for taxpayers. For example, the prepayment of the Child Tax Credit will be expanded to allow 7000 additional families with a total of 236,000 children to receive the prepayment in 1990 and foreign property limits for pension investments will be gradually increased. Six years ago when this government was first elected, the deficit stood at $38.3 billion. This budget forecasts a deficit of $28.5 billion. The expenditure control program along with measures announced in December, will save $3 billion in the first year and close to $4 billion the following year. In five years the savings will total well over $19 billion. Ar',rrit- tedly much more remains to be done, however, you can be assured that this government will continue in the right direction until the deficit is conquered. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Ontario Riding Small Business Caucus for their support in organiz- ing the Budget Breakfast A number of high school students, sponsored by the small business caucus, were some of the approximately 250 people in attendance. If I was to measure Ontario Riding's response to the budget by the reaction of those in attendance, the response would be over- whelmingly favourable (as far as budgets go).
