Hypnotic entertainer
Finger licking good. South Huron District High School students from left, Christine Cool -
man, Faith Wallace, Meagan Ratz and Angela Hovius react to a suggestion by hypnotist
Blair Robertson. After putting 15 students in a "suggestive state" during a Wednesday af-
ternoon show, the hypnotic entertainer convinced them they were astronauts blasting off
into outer space. The real fun began after he sent them back into the audience. The stu-
dents were programmed to perform ridiculous tasks upon hearing a cue word from the
hypnotist. One student gave him his watch and then returned to retrieve it five times. An-
other sprang up from her seat to dance like a ballerina, two others stood up to sing opera
and another two thought they were auditioning for a role as Tarzan and stripped off their
shirts to pound on their chests while screaming his famous jungle call. The hypnotist
erased all suggestions from their minds at the end of the performance, except for one.
Whenever a fellow student asked them how the show was they were programmed to re-
spond by saying it was finger licking good. "That's for your entertainment after I'm gone,"
the hypnotist said to the audience.

CHANGING GOVERNMENT FOR A BETTER ONTARIO
Doing better for less in government is a key part of our plan to
reduce costs, balance our budget, improve the investment climate in
Ontario, create jobs and restore hope and opportunity.
CHANGES TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM
The government is spending $1 million
an hour more than it is taking in. No family,
business or govemment can survive spending
like that. Spending $70 to administer each
payment of $2.75 a day to jurors and sending
OPP cars to Thunder Bay for basic repairs are
the kinds of inefficiencies we must stop so we
can direct your tax dollars into priority areas.
And in priority areas such as health care,
we're looking for efficiencies as well —
taking the financial savings from expensive
institutions to reinvest into critical areas
such as long-term care community services,
kidney dialysis, immunization, and
cardiac services.
CHANGES THAT ARE THOROUGH
AND FAIR
In November, we outlined SE -saving
targets for ministries to achi: We are
meeting these targets and changing the
way government operates by developing
comprehensive business plans.
CHANGES THROUGH GOOD PLANNING
AND MANAGEMENT
Ministry -by -ministry business plans are a
new way to organize decisions about the "what,
how, and where" of spending your tax dollars.
By answering the tough question, "what is a
ministry's core business?", we can focus our
efforts like a laser b' am. We will downsize
operations, save money in administration,
reduce waste and duplication, streamline and
transfer services. Through this exercise, we
will provide you better quality, lower cost core
services and activities.
HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED
Detailed business plans will be published
after the Budget. For a copy of the recent
Legislative Statement on the Business Plan
Project and information about how to send us
