Build The Spadina!
by Bob Watson
It is very amazing to hear the premier of our province
saying that "the Spadina Expressway is dead and gone and
it will not be built" as yet another report recommends that
this road be built to rescue the mess of traffic in the north
west of Metro.
Of course, we know that W. Peterson comes from Lon-
don, Ontario and so hasn't had much of the impact of crowd-
ed highways on himself. Further, as premier he also gets
driven around and doesn't have to fight the morning and
evening drag down the Don Valley Parkway.
But Mr. Peterson is supposed to be a down to earth politi-
cian who can roll with the changes in conditions. But on the
Spadina he continues to act as if he were the Progressive
Conservative Premier of Ontario - Bill Davis - who held all
of the construction of highways in the Metro Toronto area
back for years.
We know that there are a couple of influential individuals
living in the way of the Spadina Expressway. one of whom
is in the TV news area. But surely the premier has some
open-mirrdhess which could listen to the overwhelming
arguments in favour of more highways inside of Metro.
Not only db we need the Spadina, but we need the Scar-
borough Expressway and Highway 407 to the north to
remove the presstare on the Don Valley Parkway. The
perfect road plan was designed by Metro Roads Commis-
sioner Sam Cass. who wept through the reign of Bill Davis
and now must be wondering if there are any politicians out
there with guts and future thinking. Come on David Peter-
son - stop acting like Bill Davis'

The front page of the Globe & Mail said it best. "Continu-

aspect of the Ontario economy for increased revenue in his
fourth budget.
Since losing the Durham West election last September. I
must admit that there have been a few occasmu when I
wanted to write and express a point of view on some action,
or uiaction, on the part of the Liberal Government. I did
not, because I felt it might be perceived as "sour grapes".

With a strong economy government coffers autornatical-

strong and growing economy when it carne to power three
years ago, without increasing taxes there has been each
year billions. yes billions, of dollars of additional revenue
going to the government. Working Ontartans pay more In-
come taxes, buy more goods and services, hence more sales
taxes, profitable corporations pay more corporation taxes,
home buyers pay more and larger land transfer taxes etc.,
etc.. etc... In other words, a responsible government can
reduce or eliminate deficits and still spend more on needed
programs without raising taxes.
Lets look at sone facts:

grab in the history of this province.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES 1:
Paraphrasing F. H.
Bradley one might say that
reviewing, in the media
sense, is the finding of
reasons for what we
believe upon instinct; but
to find these reasons is no
less an instinct. To which
we add, that for the cons-
cientious reviewer, it is an
imperative.
So, we find ourself
labouring over how best to
determine and express in
print those qualities and
features that make the Na-
tional Ballet of Canada's
production of John
Cranko's Onegin such a
triumph.
Tchaikowsky's music is.
of course, magnificent but
It is not the music of his
opera ; this is not a ballet
version of the master's 1879
creation. It is Cranko's
presentation of the
celebrated Pushkin verse
novel. Like the opera,
however, it is true to the
themes of love. passion.
honour and fidelity.
Giving maximums defini-
tion to those themes in the
performance it &-as our
pleasure to attend on open-
ing night at The O'Keefe
was Veronica Tennant.
This might just be ler
greatest role. We hesitate
to be definitive only
because the lady has such
well springs of greatness
within her that there could
be other roles in which she
will excel even her un-
doubted triumph in Onegin.
She is the misbvw of her
craft and technique to such
an extent that she is able to
give full measure of emo-
tion to the role. And. oh my.
how she maximizes her op-
portunities! She moves
With ease from the timid
love smitten young un -
sophisticate to the
honoured and loving
chatelaine but the ease of
her performance is not at
the expense of the passions
She is quite simply almost
as fine an actress as she is
superb dancer.
And, that dancing! We
have said before but will
say again that her terre a
terre is the be all and end
all against which others
should be measured. En
fair too is excellent and
she must surely be the
easiest of all partners in
pas de deux.
She is a thrilling per-
former in a thrilling role.
Ably partnering her was
Raymond Smith in the title
role. He is a well built
young man as are all ballet
dancers but we make men-
tion of his physique here
because of its dominance in
the character of Onegin.
Dressed in black as befits
the saturnity of the
character, he should look
slim. Instead he bursts
with an animal magnetism
akin to that of Peter
Schaufuss.
One understands the at-
traction toward him held
by Tatiana- Two of their
dances together - the fust
in her reverie and the se-
cond when be pursues her
as a married woman are
almost erotic. Damme.
they are erotic but tasteful-
ly so.
Jeremy Ransom is ex-
cellent as Lensky, the
friend killed by Onegm in a
dud over the latter's flirta-
tion with Olga. the intended
of Iar>sky and sister of Ta-
tiana. We have wondered
why Mr. Ransom bas not
yet achieved principal
stades and believe we now
have the answer.
Though well built. be is of
slight stature and his lifts
do not have the power of
say. Mr. Smith's. Even so.
his dancing is almost text
book. particularly his
cabrioies. He is an ex-
cellent actor as well. In
fact, his acting is to male
ides what that d Miss Ten-
nant is to female roles.

Picnic will soon be upon us
and that means the Miss
Bikini contest.
Preliminaries begin Wed.
May 25th at the Essex Park
Hotel from 5:30 till 7:30
p.m.
Rules and regs are quite
simple, almost as simple as
some of the bikinis. Ladies
must be single and between
the ages of 16 and 30. Why
30? We can think of any
number of women over 30,
including Joyce Bauslow,
who would look sensational
in a bikini. This discrimina-
tion must stop!

AL FRESCO:
It's Ontario Place time
again and once more we
weer there for the an-
nouncements ncemhents to the media
of the attractions at The
Forum and the Molson
Canadian Waterfall
Showplace.
It's an exciting lineup
and you'll be reading and
hearing more about the at-
tractions as and when.
We might continent that
many. perhaps most. of the
attractions seem Rock
oriented. One supposes
that's what the public
wants but we find it con-
trary to what one
understands is the greying
of Ontario. This impossibly
yang and good looking
grandfather of two is mild-
ly disconcerted.
We are wildly en-
thusiastic, however. about
the new operational team.

nights of this week have
sold out. We'll see him

when we tell you that a per-

something to remember,

IN PRINT:
We've finally got around
to reading Strange Sins
( Dell) by one Jocelyn
Christopher, an erstwhile
Toronto girl.
It's another of those
steamy novels about stage
and screen production and
taken as such is not bad.
Unfortunately it could have
been better.
If her bio is accurate,
Miss Christopher was
educated at Havergal, U. of
T. and Oxford University.
( When did it go co-
educational? Just asking.)
Given that, her writing is
terrible. We all know of
born writers with nothing
to say - they usually
become excellent story
editors - but Miss
Christopher seems a born
story teller with little abili-
ty to tell them. Maybe she
chose to ignore what one
supposes she must have
learned in her language

Nostalgia" and favourite

Testicles is the proper
and correct term for that
part of a man's genitalia
that Miss Christopher
describes with a
euphimism for spheroids.
Employer is a far better
word than boss.
Hyperbole is a legitimate
device but it must be used
with discretion and skill,
not as in the following ex-
tract.

AT TABLE:
Just time to mention
quickly a little Italian
restaurant we discovered a
fortnight ago. It's called
Carolyn's and it's on
Avenue Road just above
Lawrence.
Doesn't look like much
from the outside - the
previous owners' decor is
still being used as is the
name - but inside it's a
culinary heaven of fine
Italian cuisine.
It's a family operation
with the mother, Marie, as
the cbei. All pastas are
made on the premises and
each dish is prepared as
and when ordered.
The current owners have
been there about a month
now and we predict it won't
be too long before
Carolyn's becomes one of
the more sought out
restaurants.
Reservations aren't re-
quired yet but it won't be
long. Good spot.

Toronto last week urged all
levels of government to
"make a commitment to
provide the funds and site

Toronto.
In letters to federal, pro-

the board stressed that "a

Stratford and Shaw

visitors from outside the

While supporting the pro-

will take effect June 6th,

Program
The board endorses the
objectives of the Federal
Government's proposed
Technology Entrepreneur
Program, but believes that
the use of government
employees as in-
termediaries for Canadian
businesses should be
limited. Instead, program
funding should be used to
encourage Canadian com-
panies to conduct
technology searches for
themselves.
The board also stresses
that care should be taker to
avoid duplication of ex-
isting government pro-
grams such as are already
provided by the federal
Departments of External
Affairs and Regional In-
dustrial Expansion. The
Board also recommends
that a matebed-funding ap-
proach to underwriting

implemented, rather than
100% funding by govern-
ment.

ding through pastures of
grazing horses and cattle,

A Community Support
Team, composed of profes-
sionals involved in the
Young Offenders network,
has been established by the
Oshawa and District Fami-
ly Court Clinic, at the re-
quest of the Ontario
Ministry of Community do
Somal Services. This is the
fust of several similar pro-
grams to be established in
the province.
The team, which will
serve the area which in-
cludes Durham Region,
and Kawartha, Halibai ton
and Northumberland Coun-
ties, was established as the
result of an initiative an-
nounced by the Ministry in
May, 1987, to provide com-
munity support services
for youth in conflict with
the law.
The program is directed
at those Young Offenders
who are considered high-
risk, such as youth with
conduct disorders; youth in
conflict with their families;
youth committing sexual
offences; youth who do not
function well in the school
system; and youth who are
considered a threat to the
community by their con-
tinued involvement in
criminal behaviour.

Q. I read that Atlantic City replaced its boardwalk with jar -
rah wood. What kind of tree does jarrah come from? W.J.
A. Jarrah is a eucalyptus hardwood from Australia which
resembles teak or mahogany. Jarrah trees grow in the
coastal forest south of Perth and can reach up to 4 feet
across and 150 feet tall. Used for fine furniture, cabinets
and panelling in Australia, jarrah's high resistance to
splintering. dampness, dry rot and insect attack make it
highly desirable to the rest of the world for docks, bridges
and decking. Jarrah is also extremely strong. A jarrah 1x4
is as strong as a redwood 2x4.

Report
from Noah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Eight residents of Ajax and Pickenng are among the
close to 2.800 Ontario volunteers to receive Provincial
Volunteer Service Awards this year.
The awards recognize five, ten or fifteen or more years of
service to volunteer non-profit organizations that fall under
the sphere of the Ministry of Citimemship and the Ministry of
Culture and Communications.
Volunteers with organizations that embrace the arts.
heritage conservation, public libraries. community udor-
mation centres, and citizenship activities which place an
emphasis on settlement services to newcomers and
ethnocultural and race relations. can be nominated for the
awards.
Local recipients are: Karl Fuller of Pickering, who
received the 15 -year Volunteer Service Award for his work
with the Jamaican Canadian Association; John Tsophs of
Pickering, who received the 15 -year award for his volunteer
work with the :association Grevana o Ziakas; Mrs. Wilma
Kaiser of Pickering Village, who received the 5 and 10 -year
awards for her work with Club Loreley; Susan Blakelock of
Ajax, who recieved the 5 -year Award for her volunteerism
with the Oshawa -Whitby Community Language Program;
Jahn Rider of Whitevale, Wally Biernacki of Pickering, Rod
Mason of Pickering and Andrew Rogers of Pickering, who
each received 5 -year awards for their work with the Picker-
ing Museuan Village. (Wally had previously been recogniz-
ed for 15 years of service to the museum village.)
I would like to congratulate the recipients from Ajax and
Pickering and commeri i them on their volunteer work.
Without the help of volunteers many organizations would
not be able to continue providing necessary and worthwhile
services.
Each recipient of a Volunteer Service Award receives a
trillium -shaped bronze, silver or goldtone lapel pin and a
personalized certificate acknowledging their 5, 10 or 15
years of service as a volunteer.
"The Volunteer Service Awards recognize the continuing
dedication of our volunteers to making Ontario a better
place in which to live. The work of these valuable citizens
enriches and energizes the very heart of our communities
and our province," said Culture and Communications
Minister Lily Oddie Munro in a recent statement.
Ontario Minister of Consumer and Commercial Rela-
tions, William Wrye, recently announced some
enhancements to the Ontario New Home Warranty Pro-
gram-
Mr.
ro-
gram.Mr. Wrye said the measures, which have been developed
by the New Home Warranty Program, will further protect
new home purchasers in the province and add strength to
the warranty coverage.
In a statement to the Legislature, Mr. Wrye said, "There
have been many problems in the home construction in-
dustry in the past few years, relating to such critical areas
as delayed closings, substitutions, poor quality workman-
ship, after-sales service and incomplete construction.
"Program officials have consulted with representatives
from government, the Toronto and Ontario Home Builders
Associations and the Ontario arm of the Consumers
Association of Canada, in order to develop measures that
address these concerns, without driving up the already high
cost of housing..'
These regulations go into effect at the end of June.
The Minister said, on delayed closings, builders are given
two opportunities to extend the closing date. In the first in-
stance, corsuuners have to be given 65 days notice prior to
Speaking

r, a To You
Scott Fennel M.P.
Ontario Riding
Youth Minister, Jean Charest, recently announced the
launching of the Federal Government's youth program for
the 14th Economic Summit which will be taking place in
Toronto this June.
Canada will host an international Economic Summit to
explore world issues of great importance. The Summit will
be attended by the heads of state and government of the
seven major industrial democracies and will be chaired by
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
Part one of the Summit Youth Program is a writing com-
petition. It was designed to give the youth a chance to offer
their ideas on topics such as solutions you would suggest to
the Summit leaders, and topics which should be placed on
Canada's agenda.
The writing competiton is open to Senor High School
students under 19 years old. To enter, you must write an ar-
ticle on what you believe Canada should tell the world. Fif-
teen young men and women will win the chance to par-
ticipate actively as accredited reporters at the Economic
Summit. Perhaps you will be among them!
Realizing not everybody that participates can win, and
the known fact that not all young Canadians enjoy writing,
part two of the Summit Youth Program consists of an infor-
mation kit which is going out to every High School in
Canada. This kit was prepared by Academic and Govern-
ment Foreign Affairs specialists and should in no way be
thought of as just another text book. The kit contains a short
Summit history, describes the participants in the Summit,
lays out all the facts and issues, and most importantly
challenges you to tackle the questions which will face the
Summit leaders in June.
I encourage all young people, not just aspiring jour-
nalists. to get involved in the role Canada plays in this inter-
national forum. We want to hear your views as tomorrow's
decision makers on Canada's role in bu ildmg a cornsetnsus
amongst the industrial nations.
the original chmmig date. An additional IS -day extension
can be granted if the purchaser is notified at least 35 days in
advance of the second closing date. Builders who don't give
such notice will be liable for compensation of up to five
thousand dollars. which will include expenses for moving
storage and living expenses.
111r. Wrye addeddelays wised by a strike or uncon-
trollable natural disaster will be exempted
..Regarding substitutmm, purchasers will be able to
cancel their contract if there are major changes. such as a
different exterior finish. plan or elevation than that
originally contracted for. For less critical changes, such as
carpets or kitchen cabinets. which the purchaser selects in
the agreement of purchase and sale, buyers will be given
time to consider alternatives,.. Mr. Wrye said.
He added. " ff the builder does not comply with the con-
sumer's wishes, the consumer can make a claim or lodge a
complaint with the warranty plan."
In cases of minor substitutions for items, such as lighting
Chxtures, which purchasers do not select, substitutions can
only be of equal or better value.
..Stronger consumer protection is now available on the
other three problems I rated: namely, poor -quality
workmanship, after-sales service and incomplete construc-
tion.
"Program staff are now giving a broader interpretation
to quality -related terms in the warranty, such as
*workmanlike manner' and 'fit for habitation'. As a result,
consumers are more likely to get the quality they are pay-
ing for," Mr. Wrye said.
He added the changes are intended to address persistent
problems that have been underscored by the boon in new
home construction.
"It is my belief that these measures are achievable and
workable: and should not limit the capacity of builders to
obtain financing for future development or have the
undesireable effect of adding to the cost of horsing," Mr.
Wrye said.
