(Photo - Bob Watson Nomination Rerns Soeteas, a sales representative for Lasco Steel in Whitby, and a municipal Councillor in the Town of Ajax, has declared his intention to seek the nomination as the Pro- gressive Conservative Can- didate for Ontario Riding in the next federal election. Ontario Riding includes that portion of Whitby south of Taunton Road, and the Towns of Pickering and Ajax - Rend Soetens is a long term resident of Ajax and together with his wife, June, and their family presently resides in Picker- ing Village. In announcing his can- didacy at a press con- ference oo-ference Soetens stressed the record of the Mulroney government in improving the economic health of Canada and Ontario Riding. One of Soetens aims in seeking to be the member of Parliament for Ontario Riding would be to provide opportunities for uxlustries outside of the autombile hidustry to and prosper and to reduce dependence on the automotive sector. This in- crease would be assisted by the free trade agreement. Other issues such as na- tional defence, day care, environment, transporta- tion, postal service and others will be addressed during the upcoming elec- tion and Ren6 Soetens Foots forward to debating those issues. Rent Soemis is active in the community as a member of the Rotary Club, campaigner for Faster Seal hinds, director of the murticipal orporatiand �i municipal councillor.

Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. May 11, 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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' Multicultural Now For Health It is difficult to believe but we now have the Ministry of Health establishing an advisory committee to improve ac- cess to health care for ethnic groups in Ontario.

May 11, 1988 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.

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! Anyway. all contestants sbould bring their own bikini avec �t photo of they can leave. 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. Patricia Starr. Katharine Holmes and Wende Enright. They're lean and eager: no moss growing there. IN THE CLUBS: Ben Vereen is presenting his special brand of show business magic this week and next at the Imperial Room. The first three nights of this week have sold out. We'll see him tomorrow evening and pass along our comments as always bort you don't really need them. Believe us when we tell you that a per- formance by Ben Vereen is something to remember, particularly if he does his Bert Williams sketch. 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 An Evening Of Nostalgia The Irish Choral Society presents "An Evening of Nostalgia" and favourite show tunes at Stephen Leacock C.I., 2450 Birch - mount Rd. on Fri.

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. '"Roe tone of Pandora's voice however - pitched in a hissing whisper' ( sic) which (should have been that) could easily have carried to the back row of any am- phitheatre - soon alerted him and anyone else within a hundred -yard radius that be had a problem." We're afraid it's Miss Christopher who has the problem. lack of discipline and a sloppy editor.

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. Just Beginning Ourv0o'Oth Year of service to the community.

Serving the Community Since 1950 __ I Business Communjotv News -1 * Cultural Benefits To Noting the economic and be derived, The Board of cultural benefits that would Trade of Metropolitan Toronto last week urged all levels of government to "make a commitment to provide the funds and site needed for a ballet opera house" proposed for Metro Toronto. In letters to federal, pro- vincial, Metro and City of Toronto representatives, the board stressed that "a new ballet opera house will generate many permanent jobs, both directly and in- directly," and, like the Stratford and Shaw Festivals, will attract visitors from outside the province. While supporting the pro- posal that "private dona- tions should provide a sizeable share of the fun- ding," the board cites the Ballet Opera House Cor- poration's own submission that government funding for the project would be quickly recaptured, one- half through increased tax revenues during construc- tion and the other half within 10 years after open - Although the board does not support a specific site for the facility, it recorn- Wed.

( Photo - Bob Watson) Changes To Commercial Vehicle Registration System Ontario's Ministry of Transportation has an- nounced changes to the vehicle registration system allowing greater flexibility to industry in renewing commercial vehicle rratioas. The changes will take effect June 6th, 190 and affect heavy cotn- murcial and farm vehicles and recular and school Currently, registrants of these vehicles must renew every March and must pur- chase only three, six, nine or twelve-month periods of validation- "Beginning alidation- �strants mai n y p June e validation for these vehicles an any date they select and for any number of consecutive months within a minimum of three and a maximum of twdve,' said Transporta- tim Minister Ed Fulton - "In addition, there will also be policy changes allowing cr edit / refunds to be bused on the number of unused months remaining in a validation period. This will be a more equitable system for regia nw" who no longer require a vehicle on the road but have already prepaid for its registration," explained Metro Toronto Board Of Trade Submissions Tec ahoy Entref"ner 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 company personnel, travel and professional fees be implemented, rather than 100% funding by govern- ment. Board Lends Support for Constructing Lbe Leslie Street Extension at East York Meeting Continuing in a cam- paign to support the com- pletion of several missing road links in Metro, Transportation Committee Chairman John Crosby presented the merits of constructing the Leslie St. Extension. Speaking to an audience at a well -attended public meeting sponsored by East York Council, Mr. Crosby discussed the board's position that arterial road extensions are necessary to alleviate Funds For Scarborough Board The Ontario Government has allocated funds to the Scarborough Board of Education which will generate capital projects valued at $8,920,000, Shrills Development Minister Alvin Curling, M.P.P., Scarborough North, Transportation Minister Ed Fulton, M.P.P., Scar- borough East, and Frank Faubert, - M.P.P. Scarborough -Ellesmere have announced. The projects include two new schools, Morrish Road and Malvern No. 12 and the addition of relocatable units to Percy Williams Junior Public School. Both new schools will be provided with child care centres.

The extension would pro- vide a direct link to Bayview Ave. in place of the current situation of traffic filtering through kcal East York streets. Previously. Mr. Crosby presented this position in support of the Leslie St. Ex- tension at a public greeting of North York's Council. North York Council has subsequently voted in favour of the road project. Beckett Elevator Gets $116,500 Beckett Elevator Ltd., of Scarborough, will receive a contribution of $116,550 under the federal govern - merit's Industrial and Regional Development Program (IRDP) . The funds will be used towards the cost of a $350,000 development project. Beckett has been mak- ing, installing and main- taining elevators in medium and small buildings since 1959. This project calls for the development of a microcomputer -based con- trol system, using a custom-made chip, that will enable up to eight elevator cars to be controll- ed on installations of up to 64 floors.

Support Team Serves As Model 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.

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. Queen's Park 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 1<. 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.
