馬英九:直航公投促三通
國民黨決推動修正兩岸條例 去除法律障礙 如當局仍拒執行 將以公投迫扁政府正視民意

 [[[國民黨主席馬英九接受本報系專訪。(本報台北傳真)]]]

【本報台北六日電】中國國民黨主席馬英九5日說,國民黨將以在野力量,加速推動兩岸直航,至遲在立法院下個會期前,主導兩岸條例修正,取消直航限制;若修法後政府仍拒不開放直航,將發動「直航公投」,迫使政府正視民意,訂定直航政策。

馬英九5日接受本報系專訪時,作以上表示。這是他就任黨主席以來,對改善兩岸經貿關係拋出的最新構想。

馬英九表示,國民黨以在野政黨立場,對於兩岸經貿發展,「還是可以做些事情」,國民黨可以利用泛藍在國會的多數優勢,主動立法,主導政策。他說,國民黨在縣市長選前就提出「十全大補帖」,清楚說明立院黨團將在本會期推動的10大優先法案,其中包括台灣地區與大陸地區人民關係條例的修法,取消條例中禁止兩岸直航、禁止兩岸團體簽署協議等條文。

但馬英九說,就算立法院完成修法,兩岸直航未必能實現,因為行政部門可能不採取任何動作、不與對岸協商。即使如此,他認為還是要修法,「至少使政府藉口少一點!」國民黨並可在兩岸條例修正後,進一步推動直航公投,讓政府體認民意趨向,「這樣的話,政府能不做嗎?」

他分析,從民意調查已經看得很清楚,民間多數贊成兩岸直航,企業界更有七成以上贊成。

馬英九說,國民黨已經在推動修法工作,不但有具體計畫,也列為優先法案,就算這會期不能完成,下個會期也會繼續。他坦承,目前面臨的問題不純粹是法律問題,但若法律問題仍擋在前面,當然必須先排除。

對於修法工作,馬英九評估並不容易完成,因為對民進黨來說,多一道障礙就是多一道保障,民進黨一定會強力杯葛。他指出,國民黨會努力與執政黨協商,就算執政黨凍結修法過程,四個月後也會付諸表決。 [2006-01-06]

馬英九拋「直航公投」促三通

【記者范凌嘉、李祖舜、李光儀/台北報導】國民黨主席馬英九5日說,國民黨將以在野力量,加速推動兩岸直航,至遲在立法院下會期前,主導兩岸條例修正,取消直航限制;若修法後政府仍拒不開放直航,將發動「直航公投」,迫使政府正視民意,訂定直航政策。

馬英九5日接受聯合報專訪時,作以上表示。這是他就任黨主席以來,對改善兩岸經貿關係新拋出的具體構想。馬英九5日也再度拜會國民黨榮譽主席連戰,請益有關陳總統元旦談話後兩岸關係的看法。

國民黨以在野政黨立場,對於兩岸經貿發展,能有何具體作為?馬英九受訪時表示,「還是可以做些事情,」國民黨可利用泛藍在國會的多數優勢,主動立法,主導政策。

他說,國民黨在縣市長選前就提出「十全大補帖」,清楚說明立院黨團將在本會期推動的十大優先法案,其中包括台灣地區與大陸地區人民關係條例的修法,取消條例中禁止兩岸直航、禁止兩岸團體簽署協議等條文。

就算立法院完成修法,馬英九說,兩岸直航未必能實現,因為行政部門可能不採取任何動作、不與對岸協商。即使如此,他認為還是要修法,「至少使政府藉口少一點!」國民黨並可在兩岸條例修正後,進一步推動直航公投,讓政府體認民意趨向,「這樣的話,政府能不做嗎?」

馬英九說,國民黨已經在推動修法工作,不但有具體計畫,也列為優先法案,就算這會期不能完成,下個會期也會繼續。他坦承,目前面臨的問題不純粹是法律問題,但若法律問題仍阻擋在前,當然必須先排除。

對於修法,馬英九評估並不容易完成,因為民進黨一定會強力杯葛。他指出,國民黨會努力與執政黨協商,就算執政黨凍結修法過程,四個月後也會付諸表決。(聯合新聞網) [2006-01-05]

國安特勤專家:馬英九 安全維護問題大 ***友善列印
【聯合新聞網 記者劉作坤、薛荷玉/專題報導】

儘管馬英九(新聞)當選國民黨主席(新聞)之後,保安措施已有加強,但是在國安特勤專家眼裡,目前市警局對馬英九提供的保護,無論規模、訓練、應變、裝備及專業都相當不足,一旦發生突發狀況,很難有效掌握,危險性相當高。

國安局特勤中心一位高階將領指出,雖然依法馬不可能擁有元首級特勤待遇,但是現階段只有二至四人作為隨扈,根本難以有效防護。最起碼要有五至六人,才能對受保護者作有效防護。行進間,最前方必須要有一個人前導,大約距離馬英九五步左右,左右兩側60度各配置一名隨扈,以便形成一個三角形,可以相當程度阻隔掉來自前方的子彈射擊以及近距離其他攻擊,否則像目前往往門戶洞開,將馬英九暴露在危險的角度,相當不當。

另外在後方左右兩側布建特勤人員,可以對後方及後側進行防護,如果人力不足,五人防護隊形已能提供相當有效防護,人力充足,增加一名殿後人員機動防禦及照顧後方情況更為理想。在運作上,他強調,一旦馬英九要接觸群眾,前方三角防護圈必須縮小,同時前導者必須回頭面對保護目標。

另外執行特勤任務的人選條件也非常重要,除了基本搏擊、射擊等技巧之外,體型也是重點,這位從事特勤任務十多年的將軍指出,如果體型比被保護者還瘦、還矮的話,即不容易擋子彈及遮蔽攻擊者視線,防護隊形的效果就會大打折扣,李登輝(新聞)總統周邊特勤幾乎都挑選180公分以上的壯碩大漢,不是沒有道理;反觀馬英九身高178,可是隨扈的體型標準顯然仍不理想。

另一位從事多年特勤工作組長強調,隨扈與特勤人員雖然都是執行保鑣的工作,但是兩者所受專業訓練相差甚多。特勤人員不單單具有搏擊能力,更重要在於靈敏反應,平素專業環境與訓練非常重要。隨「老闆」外出,隨時都考慮避險脫離現場路線,隨時關注現場情況,包括時、地、人、物等一舉一動,都需要掌握與判斷。可是,目前馬英九隨扈警官僅一人曾在第一警官隊服務過,其他多為一般警察或警官出身,完全沒有專業特勤訓練。

其他在裝備方面也顯然不足,不僅乘坐休旅車沒有防彈設備或強化設備,武器裝備除了90手槍外,毫無重型武器。雖然幕僚團隊分析認為,對特定組織攻擊行動防不勝防,但是特勤專業人士認為這種想法有偏差,畢竟多一分防備,即多一分安全保障,何況馬英九已是台灣舉足輕重的政治人物,就算不為自己著想,也應為民珍惜。 [2006 / 01 / 04 (星期三)]

王金平:總統仍有意找馬英九談組閣

【記者陳志平/台北報導】立法院長王金平3日指出,他上周與陳水扁總統會面時,確認陳總統仍然有意願與國民黨主席馬英九談組閣問題,他最快本周內向馬主席「報告」此事,只要馬主席同意,扁馬就可見面商談。

王金平說,泛藍以國民黨為主,因此在和馬主席商談前,陳總統應該不會跳過馬英九和其他泛藍政黨談組閣,不過泛藍其他政黨「怎麼會沒有人才」,其他政黨還有適任閣揆的人選,總統有諸多選擇。

王金平強調,他沒有組閣的意願,也早在第一時間向陳總統推薦由馬英九組閣,馬英九如果願意和陳總統談,兩個人可以談組閣的制度面、政策面,如兩人談不成,焦點就轉回泛藍,因為泛藍雖以國民黨為主,但泛藍其他政黨還是有很多適任閣揆的人選,陳總統有諸多選擇,要任命誰當閣揆總統有絕對的權力,「我們要尊重他」。

王金平說,他不知道總統府3日為什麼要開記者會,但最近有些新聞確實做得太過火、太言過其實,本來無一物,但大家卻「瞎起鬨」,黃志芳的記者會是幫他澄清,證實他講的話都是事實「我要感謝他(指黃)」。

王金平說,有關組閣案,他在第一時間就主張黨對黨談,既然是黨對黨談,就是由國民黨主席馬英九去談,馬英九曾表示願意和陳總統談組閣,但組閣以外的事不談。

他指出,上月廿七日他和陳總統會面,陳總統請他擔任特使出訪宏都拉斯外,也表示希望和馬英九會面,只是因為他最近太忙,還沒代總統轉達此事,但他會儘快向馬英九報告,只要馬主席和總統府連繫,扁馬雙方就可以商談。

王金平不認為此事可直接解讀為陳總統仍然要找在野黨組閣,但他說,扁馬見面,組閣的制度面、政策面都是雙方可以商談的議題,因為對當前的政治體制,有人主張是絕對的雙首長制,有人認為既非內閣制也不是總統制,但現實上是傾向總統制、憲法則傾向內閣制,扁馬都可以談,畢竟「兩人見面交換一下意見哪有什麼不好?」(聯合 新聞網) [2006-01-03]

阿妹跨年夜搭救護車趕場 北市查證屬實 業者遭罰20萬 ***友善列印
【東森新聞報 生活中心/綜合報導】

阿妹搭救護車趕場作秀,3日晚間衛生局調查結果出爐!台北市衛生局表示,由於業者坦承受到朋友之託,跨年夜當晚幫忙載阿妹一程,因此,查證屬實,衛生局以超出救護車業務範圍為由,判定罰款20萬元。

根據業者表示,兩天前便接到電話要求待命,如果趕場來不及就會搭乘救護車,結果跨年當天,阿妹先從松山機場出來,先坐自己的保母車,然後中途轉換成救護車到桃園,在今天衛生局約談時,業者坦承阿妹的確有搭乘救護車趕場至桃園。

依照緊急醫療救護法規定,救護車用途是用來運送病患,現在卻讓歌手搭車趕場,因此業者已經違反規定,最高可以罰款至100萬元,所以台北市衛生局在今天約談業者過後,做出罰款20萬元的處罰。

被爆料跨年夜坐救護車趕場,阿妹的經紀人受訪時連忙否認,表示當天是搭保母車趕往台北,完全沒有濫用特權,不過有桃園縣政府觀光局的人員表示,當天確實有看到阿妹搭救護車趕往台北,此外,台北市衛生局也曾接獲民眾檢舉。

北市衛生局醫護管理處高偉君表示,雖然當天阿妹乘坐救護車並未要求開通道讓車,不過,根據救護車僅能用於轉診,非急性病人的接送或勤務指揮中心運送病患時使用,顯然已經觸犯法律規定。

北市衛生局今天經查證屬實後,已依據緊急醫療救護法第41條的第4項,對救護車業者開罰20萬元。

玫瑰花車遊行 華航奪國際首獎 ***友善列印
【TVBS新聞 】

美國年度玫瑰花車大遊行,華航打出空姐美女牌,果然奏效!華航以「美麗奇蹟在台灣」為主題的花車,今年再度奪下國際參賽首獎,這是華航自1998年後,連續第8度拿下這項大獎,華航在過去20年參賽紀錄,總共獲獎14次。

一向在元旦舉行的玫瑰花車大遊行,今年避開了星期天,卻沒有躲過大風雨,濕淋淋的上路。領先出場的玫瑰、皇后和公主,碰到這50年來新年遊行的第一場大雨,不得不撐起雨傘,並且在美麗的禮服外套上雨衣。然而他們優雅的儀態和可愛的笑容,還是贏得了觀眾熱烈的掌聲。

今年華航名為「美麗奇蹟在台灣」的中型花車,再度拿到了國際首獎。6位頭一次參加花車大遊行的華航空姐,更為花車增色不少。今年這輛花車,特地把台灣的蝴蝶蘭空運來美,加上在雨中顫動的台灣藍鵲和蝴蝶,生動的呼應著今年大會「神奇世界」的主題。

這項新年傳統的大遊行,每年透過電視轉播,吸引了全球上億民眾的觀賞。然而傾盆的大雨,加上又是星期一,使得趕來看熱鬧的人潮,明顯的減少。

不過人少不代表冷清,除了五顏六色的雨衣和雨帽替117屆的花車大遊行帶來新的趣味,今年還有不少明星來助陣,在現場表演歌舞,硬是把過年的氣氛炒得熱烘烘!

洛杉磯民眾:「留在家裡不出來看遊行的人,他們可虧大了!」

洛杉磯民眾:「我連續5年來看花車遊行,今年的遊行一點都沒有因為下雨而遜色。」

TVBS記者左敏琳:「這是玫瑰花車大遊行50年來頭一次碰到下雨,有人說小風小雨可以增添詩意,製造浪漫;然而碰到大風大雨,反而更能展現出新年的精神和奮發抖擻了。」[2006 / 01 / 03 (星期二)]

Ma Ying-jeou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Order: 22nd, 23rd-term Mayor of Taipei
4th-term Chairman of Kuomintang
Term of Office: December 25, 1998–present (Mayor)
August 19, 2005–present (Chairman)
Date of Birth: July 13, 1950
Place of Birth Kowloon, Hong Kong
Occupation lawyer
Political Party: Kuomintang

Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九; Hanyu Pinyin: Mǎ Yīngjiǔ; Wade-Giles: Ma Ying-chiu; Tongyong Pinyin: Ma Yingjiou) (born July 13, 1950) was elected mayor of Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China in 1998 and reelected in 2002. He was elected chairman of the Kuomintang by party members on July 16, 2005. He is ineligible to run for mayor a third time in 2006 due to term limits; he will likely be the KMT presidential candidate in 2008.*1

As Minister of Justice he was seen as viciously cracking down on "black gold", especially in his own party and government. His personal charisma has made him one of Taiwan's most popular politicians and he retains a following from citizens, which are primarily pan-blue.

Personal background
Ma was born in Hong Kong (Kwong Wah Hospital in Kowloon), then a British colony, to Hunanese parents. When he was a year old, his family, supporters of the Kuomintang (KMT), moved to Taiwan. Ma himself has claimed that his parents had already been in Taiwan before he was born, and his father was on assignment to Hong Kong when he was born there; it is not clear what assignment Ma was referring to. He is therefore part of the so-called "Mainlander" category of the populace of Taiwan. He earned a law degree from National Taiwan University in 1972. With a scholarship from the KMT, he first acquired a masters degree in law from New York University and then proceeded to earn a doctorate in law from Harvard University in the United States. Later, after he became a politician, Ma was accused by some Pan Green politicians of having spied on fellow students from Taiwan on behalf of the KMT regime during this period, a charge he denies. He returned to Taiwan in 1981 to teach law.

Rise in politics
With the personal connections of his father, Ma Ho-ling (馬鶴凌), he started working in the presidential palace under Chiang Ching-kuo within a half year after he acquired his S.J.D. Later he became the personal translator for Chiang Ching-kuo. Ma was promoted to the chair of the Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission under Executive Yuan at the age of 38 and became the youngest cabinet member of the ROC.

He was deputy secretary-general of the KMT from 1981 to 1988, for some time also serving as head of the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), a cabinet-level body in charge of cross-straits relations. President Lee Teng-hui appointed him Justice Minister in 1993. Ma opposed modification of Article 100 concerning criminal law, which was used by the authoritarian ROC government to incriminate dissidents before martial law was lifted in 1987. He also opposed constitutional reforms that would have the ROC president elected directly by popular vote. He was relieved of his post in 1996, reputedly because he proved too effective at fighting black gold political corruption within his own party. After a short stint as a minister without portfolio, Ma returned to academia, and most people at the time believed his political career to have ended.

Mayorship
However, in 1998 the KMT, faced with no other credible candidates, did field him to challenge the then-incumbent Taipei mayor, Chen Shui-bian of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), who was seeking re-election. His perceived honest and clean-cut image (and baby face appearance), as well as his Mainlander Chinese background in a city with a relatively high percentage of Mainlanders helped him win over Chen. In the 2000 Presidential Election, Ma remained loyal to the Kuomintang and supported its candidate Lien Chan over James Soong who had bolted from the party. The competition between Lien and Soong split the pan-blue votes and allowed his former rival Chen to win the presidential election with votes below 50% of the popular votes. This, combined with Soong's good showing and Lien's poor showing, incited a great deal of anger against Ma when he tried to dissuade discontented Lien and Soong supporters from rioting by appealing to them as city mayor and a high-ranking KMT member. It was evidenced by one famous moment, in which he was pelted with eggs from Lien and Soong's supporters.

Ma was able to repair this damage and, in December 2002, became the superstar of the KMT by easily winning reelection with the support of 64% of Taipei voters, while his DPP challenger, a novice politician Lee Ying-yuan, received only 36 percent. His solid victory, especially in light of opposition from both President Chen Shui-bian and former President and former KMT Chairman Lee Teng-hui, led many to speculate about his chances as the KMT candidate for the 2004 presidential elections, although nothing came of it.

Ma suffered some political damage as a result of the SARS epidemic in early 2003 and was criticized for not mobilizing the Taipei city government quickly enough. Flooding in metropolitan Taipei in 2004 also led to public questioning of his leadership and caused slides in Ma's approval rating.

During his administration years, Ma had many conflicts with the central government over such matters as health insurance rates and control of the water supply during the drought. Ma also was implicated in a scandal of Taipei Bank stock releases in 2003; however, the case was dismissed by the Taipei prosecutor after an investigation. He was strongly criticized by the opposing party for not allowing the ROC national flag to be flown along with a PRC flag during a cross-strait soccer match held in Taipei. Ma responded that he was merely following Olympic protocol, which only officially recognizes the Chinese Taipei Olympic Flag, and forbids ROC national flags from being shown in an Olympic Game Stadium.

His initiatives in administering the city of Taipei include changing the transliterations of street names and the Taipei Rapid Transit System's line and station names into Hanyu Pinyin, the spelling compatible with mainland China, as opposed to the Taiwanese-developed Tongyong Pinyin. Ma has expressed mild support for Chinese reunification and opposition to Taiwan independence. He opposed the 2004 referendum, which had been widely criticized by the U.S. and PRC. Nevertheless, his opposition to the Anti-Secession Law of the People's Republic of China (while other leaders of his party remained silent on the issue) led him to be banned from visiting Hong Kong to make a public speaking tour in 2005. He also criticized the PRC for the Tian'anmen crackdown.

Ma's cross-political following has led some to note him as a rare example of relative civility in Taiwanese politics. In recent years, Ma has increasingly employed Taiwanese (Hoklo) in public speaking, perhaps to avoid backlash for his parents' mainland origin, and he has called himself a "child of Bangka (Wanhua)," identifying himself with the historic district of Taipei where he grew up. However, others claim that Ma's mainland Chinese ancestry will further alienate members of the KMT who are "light-blue" vs. the pro-unification "dark-blue." Ma's critics claim that Ma, in overeagerness to appear unbiased and/or neutral in disputes, has been overly indecisive. Among these critics, Ma has been referred to as "non-stick pan" or "Teflon-man."

Election to KMT Chairmanship
Ma's prestige increased after the loss by Lien Chan in 2004 ROC Presidential Election as he is widely seen as the natural successor of Lien Chan. His handling of the post-election demonstrations of the Pan-Blue Coalition, in which he at one point sent riot police to control the demonstrations of his pan-blue party supporters, was generally seen as impartial. In 2005, Ma and Wang Jin-pyng were candidates in the first competitive election for KMT chairmanship. On 5 April 2005, in an exclusive interview with CTV talk show host Sisy Chen, Ma said he wished to lead the opposition Kuomintang with Wang, if he were elected its chairman, as their support bases are complementary. On July 16, 2005, Ma defeated Wang by a 72% to 28% margin, a margin larger than anticipated by either camp or news sources, despite Wang's receiving a last-minute endorsement by People First Party (PFP) chairman James Soong, who had retained significant following within the KMT. Some, particularly the supporters of Wang Jin-pyng, accuse Ma of unfairly implying that Wang is involved in "black gold" and criticized Ma's aides for being rude to Wang during the campaign. After the election, Ma has stated repeatedly that he wishes Wang to remain as first-ranked deputy chairman. Wang, however, has so far rebuffed the gesture, instead stating that he wishes to serve as "permanent volunteer." Wang has, indeed, accepted a party post that is incompatible with vice chairmanship, effectively ending the possibility that he would be vice chairman, although after meeting with Wang, Ma has stated that he would "leave the position open" for Wang. Ma has also repeatedly stated that he has no plans to resign from the Taipei mayorship, even after he formally took over the chairmanship from incumbent Lien Chan during the 17th Party Congress of the KMT in August 2005.

Three-in-one election, Dec 3 2005
Led by Ma Ying-jeou, the Kuomintang made a resounding win in the three-in-one election held on Dec 3, 2005. KMT gained 6 more seats in the mayoral/magistratical race, from 8 seats in the last election, to a total of 14 seats. Before the election, Ma swore that he would quit chairmanship if KMT could not win over half of the seats, first ever from the mouth of a KMT chairman. It was a decisive win for KMT since Ma Ying-jeou took over the party chairmanship only 110 days ago. KMT won back the counties of Taipei and Yilan, and the city of Chiayi, which were Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)'s strongholds for over twenty years. It is the first time in many years that KMT regained popularity as far south as Cho-Shui River (Zhuo-Shui River). Quoting again his famous quote, Ma said, "we should only be excited about it for one evening." (Then we should go back to work).

Personal
Ma is married with two daughters and is an avid jogger and swimmer. .....*2

橙縣首辦中華民國元旦升旗 隆重熱鬧
華人社團熱心推動 天公作美好兆頭 兩百多僑界人士共襄盛舉 阮雅倫唱中美國歌掀高潮

【本報記者王善言聖塔安那報導】在天公作美之下,橙縣多個華人社團熱心推動、並為橙縣首次舉辦的慶祝中華民國元旦升旗典禮,1日上午近10時順利地在橙縣華僑文教服務中心前的停車場舉行,有兩百多名熱愛中華民國的僑界人士共襄盛舉。升旗典禮後並有餘興節目,熱鬧精采。

主持升旗典禮的駐洛杉磯台北經濟文化辦事處處長魏武煉指出,中華民國已建立經濟奇蹟,目前大家應同心協力,促進國家團結與安定,以便與世界一流先進國家等量齊觀。他並希望大家「不要問國家為我們做了什麼,而要問我們為國家做了什麼」; 不論政黨、屬性,大家共同努力,只有在國家的認同下建立自信,才能獲得各界尊重。

他並表示以僑界所有人的成就為榮,祝福大家身體健康、事業興隆。

橙縣華僑文教服務中心主任丘昌生則說,前兩天還是風雨如晦,當天上午則是風調雨順 ,天氣不錯,為好兆頭。他感謝僑界呂耀勳及邱垂煌登高一呼、發動橙縣僑界社團組織籌劃升旗典禮等事宜,也感謝僑界熱烈響應。

呂耀勳與邱垂煌則表示,他們很感謝老天幫了大忙,透露除夕夜仍在沙盤推演,商討一旦下雨應如何應對。

當天來自橙縣各地的31名小朋友擔任前導,他們手執紅白藍三色氣球及小面的中華民國國旗魚貫進場,天真爛漫。之後八名學生高舉著兩面大幅的中美國旗進場,整齊而有精神。

榮光聯誼會八名成員隨後以整齊的步伐、分舉著中美兩國國旗進場,展開升旗典禮的序幕。

升旗典禮即在莊嚴隆重的氣氛下進行,被各界公認為歌后的阮雅倫並演唱中美國歌,將氣氛帶到高潮。

聖地牙哥的僑務委員黃明智當天也遠道前來參加。他說,他很高興橙縣成立華僑文教服務中心,因為距離聖地牙哥較近,更方便聖地牙哥一帶僑社。

來自爾灣中文學校的程薇,首次參加慶祝中華民國的升旗典禮。現年十歲的她說,升旗典禮很酷,明年如果還有類似活動,會央求爸爸程東海再帶她來。四歲從台灣移民美國、現年九歲的楊羽晴則知道中美兩國國旗都是以紅藍白做底色 ,她對該項活動也表示很有意思。

擔任義工的內科醫師王惟中說,他記得小時候常隨母親王徐湛生參加各種升旗典禮,當時只覺得好玩,不瞭解中華民國的歷史及代表的意義。直到他長大,才體會到身為華裔的意義。他很高興仍能說一口流利的中國國語,因為目前他的病人幾乎以華人為主。

當天爾灣、莘莘及北橙三所中文學校及全美武術學院推出彩帶舞、民俗舞蹈「牧丹花開 」、笛子、二胡及嗩吶的「國樂集錦」、武術表演與嘻哈嬉春舞等精采節目,讓元旦慶祝活動生色不少。

當天與會者尚包括僑務顧問詹凱臣、劉錦棠、橙縣台灣同鄉會、橙縣華人獅子會、橙縣華人商會、北美洲台灣人醫師協會、加州台灣同鄉聯誼會、橙縣台灣同鄉聯誼會、橙縣台灣醫師及牙醫師公會、同源會橙縣分會、南加州中華文化協會、加州客家聯合會、全美客屬崇正會、南加州旅美客屬崇正會、喜瑞都蓬萊長青會、全美中文學校聯合總會、南海岸中華文化協會、爾灣中文學校、北橙華人協會、北橙中文學校、富樂頓中文學校、育林中文學校、南加州中文學校聯合會、美國中華文化經貿協會、亞美老人服務中心、中國大專聯合校友會、伶倫劇坊、台大校友會、海軍聯誼會、榮光會及台美基金會等會代表。 [2006-01-02]

鴿屋 漫遊創作的靈感泉源

 灰白質樸的建築「鴿屋」,是詩人華茲華斯一家人住處。洪君脩/攝影
 綿延的綠野、錯落的小屋,再加上片片風帆,把湖區妝點得更夢幻。洪君脩/攝影

●湖區不但有如詩畫的美景,它那時而晴空萬里,時而細雨濛濛的多變氣候,所營造出的夢幻情境,也孕育出不少文學家。因此,賞景之餘,亦可順道探訪作家故居。其中位於Grasmere南方的Town End,因有浪漫派詩人華茲華斯(Wordsworth)住過的「鴿屋」(Dove Cottage)和博物館,而成為重要觀光景點。

桂冠詩人榮耀:華茲華斯出生於湖區,自幼父母雙亡,與妹妹桃樂絲相依為命,兄妹倆皆具文采。桃樂絲擅長將湖區內多變的氣候與周遭事物,以日記方式記錄下來,後來結集成冊,出版「The Grasmere Journals」一書。華茲華斯則常在湖區散步,山水的靈秀之氣,幻化成詩人筆下源源不絕的詩句。在此,他創立了湖濱詩派,也影響後代拜倫、濟慈、雪萊等詩人的創作風格,他本人則在73歲時,獲頒桂冠詩人榮耀。

小巧質樸的「鴿屋」,是棟灰白色建築,屋內面積雖不大,但仍維持詩人居住時的原貌,不但有詩人各項手稿與紀錄,還有旅行護照與行李箱等…。其中最值得一提的,是二樓桃樂絲房間內,四周牆壁上,貼滿當年的報紙,雖已泛黃,但報上字跡依然清晰可讀。

生態保護先驅:華茲華斯不僅是詩人,也被視為注重生態與維護自然和諧的先驅,在他所著「Guide to the Lakes」一書中,就表明反對湖區興建鐵路的計畫,他希望湖區能永保自然風貌,成為旅人墨客漫遊創作的靈感泉源。

About Mayor Dr. Ying-jeou Ma of the Taipei City
By Office of the Mayor

Dr. Ying-jeou Ma was elected Mayor of Taipei City in December 1998. As the central figure responsible for Taipei city's overall development, Mayor Ma has focused most of his efforts on improving government services and maintaining Taiwan's global competitiveness by seeking to transform Taipei into a truly "Internet City" for the 21st century.*1

In his first eight months in office, he oversaw the creation of an online property and land management system to facilitate the exchange of information among various branches of the city government. In addition, Mayor Ma is also working on a number of programs to increase technology awareness in Taipei and bring the information revolution to the average citizen. At the WCIT2000 inauguration ceremony in March 1999, he expressed his commitment to give every Taipei citizen a free e-mail address and three hours of free Internet training. Mayor Ma has also initiated much needed traffic relief systems, removed 45,000 illegal road obstructions and regained 33,000 parking spaces, to be monitored by computer. He has also established the Family and Sexual Violence Prevention Center, and other community projects.

Mayor Ma's belief in the importance of information technology stems from his view that by providing governmental support to increase the level of public technological awareness, the Internet will function as a resource to be shared by all citizens, regardless of race, social class, age, or sex. On a local level, he feels that e-mail can function as one of the most effective means for the city government to reach out to all of Taipei's citizens, and receive their reactions on important city issues.

A graduate of Harvard Law School, Mayor Ma has spent 18 years in the ROC national government, formerly holding the cabinet posts of Minister of Justice (1993-1996) and Minister without Portfolio (1996-1997). Prior to being sworn in as Mayor of Taipei City in December 1998, he served as Associate Professor of Law at Taiwan's prestigious National Chengchi University Law School. Mayor Ma is author of numerous books and articles including "The ROC (Taiwan)'s entry into the World Trade Organizations" in The Chinese Yearbook of International Law and Affairs (1998).

Mayor Ma was born in 1950 in Hong Kong and raised in Taiwan. He speaks fluent mandarin Chinese and English, a little French, and a few other Chinese dialects.*2
