A Radio-Canada librarian said recently the tape of the Brockville in- cident had been used at least 20 times on various network programs and was lent to other French and English news The comment drew applause from about 450 cable executives. Spicer said he checked the achives of CBC in to ine how He called it a “‘bitter irony’ that Canada probably has the world’s most sophisticated telecom- and system but it isn’t being used to help Canadians understand each other. Spicer said he didn't, see why @ small station in Saskatchewan couldn't hook up with a counterpart in Quebec to show two groups of farmers discussing ‘‘the dirt on their hands and the cows’’ before talking about their country. “That's the potential that we could use this for. And we're not. We're too narrowly focused on the nuts and bolts and the finances.”” Spicer said he wasn't speaking of propaganda. **We have to be able to put the shoes on the'other foot in this country and the media can play a role. I don’t call that ordering the media to do propaganda.”’ Spicer’s comments came amid suggestions CBC-TV’s coverage of the debate over the Meech Lake ac- cord has been biased in favor of the constitutional deal. An Ontario government document, repudiated by Premier David Peterson, suggested provincial-officials try to manipulate the network to promote the accord. Van Shelton takes top awards NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ricky Van Shelton was chosen enter- tainer of the year and top male vocalist at the 24th annual fan-voted TNN — Music City News Country Awards Show.

It earned more in three days than the $23.7 million taken in by Back to the Future Part III in four days over the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend. Set in the year 2084, Total Recall depicts Schwarzenegger as an Earth laborer who signs up for a memory- implant vacation and soon finds himself enmeshed in a civil war on Mars.

The Statler Brothers were double winners, winning the vocal group award for the seventh straight time and picking up single honors for More Than a Name on the Wall. Hank Williams and his late father also were double winners, for video and vocal collaboration for There’s a Tear in My Beer. The video combines film of the father with shots of the son.

June 6, 1990 CastlegarNews A7 Sales slump predicted OTTAWA (CP) — Retail sales will slump in the months following in- troduction of the federal goods and services tax;-and clothing and shoe stores will suffer ilie-most, the Retail Council of Canada predicts: “Experience in other countries has shown a considerable surge in sales just before the tax takes effect, then a sharp drop afterwards,"’ president Alasdair McKichan told the ‘Commons consumer affairs commit- tee. “Clothing and footwear retailers are the obvious losers.’’ Clothes and shoes are exempt from the current federal manufacturers tax and consumers would be well advised to buy them before the seven-per-cent GST arrives on Jan. 1, McKichan said. Retail sales have been flat for several months because -of high in- terest rates, he added, but this may benefit consumers as retailers try to maintain sales volume through com- petitive pricing. The pricing of some manufactured goods, including cars and appliances, is expected to drop under the-GST, but other costs will rise — for exam- ple, services which now are not sub- ject to direct federal sales tax. The odds run strongly toward fair retail pricing practices under the GST, said McKichan. ‘‘The sense of com- petition will be heightened because the retail industry will be conscious that all eyes are on it.’’ Market competition — not some kind of pri ri federal and provincial taxes. Others intend to itemize taxes separately. Revenue Minister Otto Jelinek’s announcement last week on simplified — is the best consumer protection, he added. . However, he forecast considerable price confusion after the GST takes effect, because inflation will continue and many retailers normally display new prices early in the year. Retailers are split over how to display post-GST prices; McKichan said. Some think the priority is showing ‘customers the total price, including ost for small business will alleviate some of the cost to retailers of collecting the tax, McKichan said. But the streamlined methods will benefit only businesses with annual sales under $200,000. **Not many retailers in major cities fall into that category,’’ McKichan said Legislation for the new tax has been approved by the Commons and is now in the Senate. Employers found more optimistic TORONTO (CP) — Canadian em- ployers are generally more optimistic about their hiring plans for July, August and September than they were the previous three months, a survey suggests. “Perhaps we've reached a certain levelling point,’’ said Maureen Quinn, vice-president of Toronto- based Manpower Temporary Ser- vices, which conducted the survey. “For the last little while now, com- panies have been cutting back or tightening up and what typically hap- pens now is that people in some trades are starting to hire again."’ The survey, di d among 10 per cent said they intended to cut staff and 54 per cent said they didn’t think they’d be mal any changes to their employment rolls during’ the three months. Three per cent said they were uncertain of their hiring plans. During the previous quarterly sur- vey, only 28 per cent of employers said they would hire during April, May and June, with 11 per cent saying they would be laying off staff. Companies responding to the sur- vey are not asked their reasons for their optimism or pessimism, Quinn said. The industries that show the most 1,500 companies, shows hiring plans aren’t as high as they were in parts of 1988-89. But it appears things are starting to look up. According to the survey, 33 per cent of the employers interviewed in- dicated they would increase staff in July, August and September.

The campaign was undertaken after viewers complained about having to pay for more specialty channels, some of which were unwanted by many cable subscribers, Guy Beauchamp told the association’s annual meeting. The 17-month campaign, which in- cludes TV commercials, will be reviewed Thursday by the national board of cable broadcasters. Beauchamp said that if the industry had taken time to tell the public of how cable delivers a ‘‘healthy and vibrant’? Canadian broadcasting system to large and small com- munities, ‘‘then surely we would not have had to endure being dragged through the mud as if we were the lowest form of business life.’” Flanked by two giant monitors, each created from 16 large-screen TVs, Beauchamp blasted a recent decision by the Canadian Radio- isi and T i Commission to limit cable rate in- creases. He said the commission, Canada’s broadcast regulator, was con- spicuously absent from copyright hearings on royalty payments for retransmitting distant broadcast signals, mostly from the United States. The commission said last month that cable operators will not be allowed to pass the extra royalty costs on to subscribers. Although the rates the industry have not yet been set, the copyright charges could cost the industry bet- ween $30 million and $50 million. CRTC chairman Keith Spicer defended its decision not to attend the copyright hearings, saying it was suf- ficient to monitor the proceedings closely. Now Open!
