Gpo Hydro, was recently elected as President of the Municipal Electric Association. Mr. Wiersma will team up with Frank Hueston, Chairman of Port Hope Hydro, who was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors. Both Messrs. Wiersma and Hueston ran unopposed. The Municipal Electric Association ( MEA) represents 316 municipal electric utilities throughout Ontario, including utilities as small as Priceville Hydro (approximately 100 customers) and as large as Toronto Hydro (approx- imately 215,000 customers) . Collectively, the MEA member utilities serve more than 2.4 million elec- tric power customers in Ontario. '-Kr. Wiersma's election as president was confirmed at the annual meeting of the MEA, held Mar. 4th to 6th at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. This annual gathering was attended by more than 1300 people. While the MEA is dealing with a host of issues affec- ting electric power customers, the issue that currently predominates is the recently unveiled byl On- tario Hydro. Mr. Wiersma commends Ontario Hydro for address- ing the issues such as reliability of supply, economical power, and sensitivity to the environ- ment. however, he is very concerned that the re- quired facilities will not be in service when needed, thus creating brownouts and blackouts as early as 1993. The Plan has to undergo an Environmental Assess- ment Board Review, and then each generating facili- ty will have to undergo its own Environmental well be .took process may long, he says. The MEA suggests that electric power consumers become concerned about this impending crisis and that they contact their members of the legislature to facilitate a more timely approval process.

This Space Could Be Yours For $ Page -2 THE NFWS PAST Wed. Mar. 28, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Mainstream Canada Ontario's gain is Canada's pain By Terry O'Shaughnessv If Canada can be seen as a large extended family, then the province of Ontario must certainly be the rich relation. This point was recently driven home in a pre -budget submission to the government of Ontario by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business which strongly criticized the provincial government for adding to the hardship of other regions in the country through econom- ically irresponsible spending habits. CFIB President John Bul- loch points out that the "spend now, pay later" policy of the provincial government in Ontario has worsened infla- tion in the province and resulted in Canada's interest rates being at a higher level than would be the case if Ontario had shown more fis- cal responsibility. "The Bank of Canada has kept interest rata high to response to inflationary pres- sures fueled to a significant extent b, the Ontario goscrn- ment, " says Bulloch, "and, as a result, the dollar is un- stable and the economic of the Prairie prosinces and .Atlantic Canada in particular are suffering. To put it bluntly. Ontario's prosperity has been partially bought and pard for in the curren,% of regional pun „ CFIB'+ submissior con- cludes that the Ontario gos- ernment, headed by Premier Dasid Pe(erson, could ha,.e land should ha%e) pursued a more fis.all� prudent course. But while enjo-,ine ;he :u,ra- usc benciit, of a hoorninc economy, the government has been relentless in its taxation of both businesses and in- dividuals during the past five years. Tax revenues from retail sales, for example, have in- creased by 96 per cent, while personal income tax revenues have grown by a massive 102 per cent. As for the business tax take, revenues from cor- porate income tax plus the new Employer Health Tax have risen by a staggering 139 per cent. "The revenue bonanza gained from this tax frenzy," continues Bulloch, "has fi- nanced the Ontario spending agenda, which in turn has played a major role in driving up inflation. The combination of these factors has led to higher interest rates for the entire country." C .e can almost hear the howls of protest from across the country at this disturbing conclusion, but of course it would be simplistic to blame any single government for all the problems of the country. And c%cryonc would surely agree that the federal govern- ment, as well as all provincial go%ernments, must do a better job of managing their eco- nomic houses. But Bulloch emphasizes that the federal gosernment and the more economically advantaged pro. inccs, such as Ontario, hase a responsibility to stop pursuing those policies which are harmful to the country as a w hole. "It is time for leadership, and for making hard, respon- sible choices," says Bulloch, "rather than those colored by pohti,:al evpedienc%." ;,.,a r"r,,M ser ,C* Here and There Need for Soil Conservation Calling on Canadians to recognize the critical need for soil conservation.

Rouge River Valley To Become Park - Province Natural Resources Minister Lyn McLeod announced on Monday that the Rouge River Valley area of the Greater Toronto Area will be protected through the establishment of a 10,500 acre ( 4,250 hectare) park. "This is the most ambitious urban park project in Canada's history," Lyn McLeod said. "The area is a unique combination of outstanding features, including rare plant and animal species living in a variety of natural habitats, historic buildings, and archaeological sites. When it is com- pleted, the Rouge park will be the biggest urban park in Canada." The Ontario government is donating an additional 1,600 acres (650 hectares) of land beyond its earlier contributions for the park. If developed, the land would have an estimated value of $1.1 billion. The federal government has offered to contribute $10 million to the cost of the park. The proposed park area includes a block of land that stretches from Steeles Ave. south to Lake Ontario, and from the west rim of the Rouge River Valley to the Scarborough -Pickering boundary. A small portion of the park along the southeast border is in the Town of Pickering. The land south of Steeles Ave. is 13 times the size of Toron- to's High Park. North of Steeles Ave. the proposed park area includes the valleylands of the Rouge River and the Berczy, Bruce and Uttle Rouge creeks. These valleylands are in the Regional Municipality of York. "We're preserving the Rouge Valley in perpetuity to en- sure that the legacy left by those who came before us can be shared by the generations that follow us," Premier David Peterson said. "The step we are taking today will enrich the greatest asset we possess - our quality of life." The Natural Resources Minister will immediately ap- point an advisory committee to recommend a comprehen- sive management plan for the initial 4,300 acre (1,750 hec- tare) area of the park. Studies will continue on pians for the remaining park reserve area south of Steeles Ave. between the eastern edge of the little Rouge Creek valley and the Scarborough -Picketing boundary. North of Steeles Ave. the ongoing acquisition of the Range River, Berezy Creek, Bruce Creek and Little Rouge Creek valleylands will be guided by the recently announced Rouge watershed management strategy of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. interim pro- tection measures in the valleylands will be implemented through co-operative planning with the municipalities and the conservation authority.

Over the course of his tour. Mr. Ma- jor will speak to students in all grades from 7 to 1310AC. The Newfoundland author began his novels for adolescents with "Hold Fast" in 1978, in which the main character recalls searching for artifacts of the Beothuk Indians near his own Newfoundland Mr. Major's most recent book, "Blood Red Ochre", blends realism and fantasy as it tracks the parallel paths of David, a contem- jrary 15 year old who has ust discovered his real father's identity, and Dauoodaset, a young In- dian of the 1800s who is try- ing to save his family from starvation. Placement of the author's works in libraries where they are accessible to children has occasional- ly resulted in controversy. since his characters make frank references to alcohol, sex, and strained family relations. Nonetheless, Mr. Major's novels have grown in popularity to such a degree that they have been translated into French, Spanish, German and Danish for thousands of fans.

J. W. Nigh. Clerk - i Page 6 THE NEWS/ POST Wed. Mar. n, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE I: The American playwright George Kelly is arguably best known and recalled for two works, a drama and a more or less comedy. The drama is Craig's Wife which was last transmogrified into a mo- tion picture starring Joan Crawford and titled Har- riet Craig. The comedy might well have been titled Aubrey's Wife for reasons to be given later in this piece. Instead it is titled The Show -Off and a p roductiaa of it at the Bluma Appel Theatre is the final presentation of the '891'90 season there by the Canadian Stage Company. This WA play is too kind in its labelling of the title character. Aubrey Piper is more than just a show-off, more than just a flash of lit- tle substance; he is in fact a liar. Actually he is more than a liar, he is a romancer, a spinner of stories and situations about himself that are almost but not quite out of whole cloth. Yet, although he should be a royal pain, he is likeable. The reason is that his stories, his posttaings are so outrageous that he CASTLE HILL STEAK HOUSE Steak, Ribs & Seafood DINNER SPECIAL - Mon. -Wed. B-B.O.

Instead, he is accepted as someone who brings a sparkle of light into what might otherwise be a dull existence for many. He is a Munchausen of the mun- dane. The narrative line of The Show -Off allows an au- dience to watch as The Show -Off comes into a de- cent middle class family and, without giving away too much to readers who just might be unfamiliar with the play, changes their lives for the and makes an audience laugh along the way. R_ H. Thomson is Aubrey Piper, the show-off and he quite succeeds in making an inconsequential twit into a man of some substance. Mr. Thomson is a meticulous actor who delves deeply on his own in- to characterization. So it is quite accidental we are sure that his Aubrey Piper has the speaking voice and presence of a Robert Preston as The Music Man with the laugh of a Don Ameche playing George Bickerson. Acci- dent or design, it doesn't matter. What matters is that it works and most suc- cessfully.

ON STAGE IL The York University Theatre Department presents its final work of the season opening Apr. 3rd. It is Scapino, a rewritten and updated venson of Moliere's farce. We confess an aversion to such enter- prises even though the un- piicit zeal is to be com- mended. One supposes that any work that can survive tampering deserves sur- vival but surely such tests shouldn't be necessary. What, after all, is proven? Anyway, Scapino is to be presented through Apr. 6th in the Atkinson Theatre on the main campus, Keele St. and Steele's Ave. COINCIDENCE: In our mail recently we received a piece from CHCH-TV in Hamilton ad- vising of scheduled produc- tions. One of them is Follow the North Star, a program celebrating the 200th bu th- day of Rev. Josiah Henson, a remarkable man of Canada's early history and thought to have been the Uncle Tom of uncle Tom's Cabin. It sounds most in- teresting and will be seen on Apr. loth. In the same mail we received a brochure from the Henson College Centre for Continuing Studies. It is associated with Dalhousie University in Halifax. We don't know how Henson College got its name - perhaps it's named after Josiah Henson -but what a coincidence to receive two such pieces in the same mail. What is the brochure about? It advises of a sum- mer course in musical theatre being offered by Henson in association with Dalhousie University's Department of Theatre. Members of the faculty include co -directors Alan Lund and Howard Cable. We suspect the fine hand of old friend Howard in seeing to our advice of the course. It will run from July 29th through Aug. 25th and the fee is a surprisingly low $700.

Oh yes, it's a highly subjec- tive, even opinionated work but it succeeds in what we imagine Mr. James has always in mind .. it most surely generates con- troversy.

Now that the '9Cis are actually here, it's a good time to really start a "good nutrition" action plan. The benefits will be reaped for years, decades to come. Today we know that nutri- tion encompasses more than just calories, achieving or maintaining a desirable body weight. Good nutrition re- quires balance... balance of nutrients but also balance of foods color, taste and texture so that we'll avoid menu monotony and stick to sound eating resolutions. Favorite everyday vege- tables such as green beans are an important means of achieving this balance. Such vegetables add color and texture to recipes and are par- ticularly important during our cold, grey winters. But you need not blow your food budget by buying fresh. Nutritionally and economi- cally you'll be wise to use canned or frozen green beans such as those from Green Giant. Thcse vegetables are frozen orcanned fresh -from - the -field at their nutritional peak. A University of Guelph study released in 1987 con- cluded that frozen processed vegetables contain more m icro nutrients than do fresh vegetables after shipping and storage. So-called "fresh supermarket beans" may indeed be days or weeks okl— time during which they con- sistently lose nutritional quality. Research has shown that similar nutritional lasses are not sustained by either canned or frozen vegetables. Here are some easy, deli- cious ways to add nutritional balance, color and texture to family meals.

LtravelD Palm Beach Florida A 1st. Class Destination by Bob Rice It is here, in Palm Beach County, Florida, that the word `affluence" really comes into its own. Accor- ding to my trusty Webster's New World Dic- tionary, `affluence' means abundance or wealth and that is what Palm Beach County enjoys. This is where the big money folk come to play and relax. It is somewhat intimidating to be sitting at a red traffic light in your rented Continental and realize that four of the other eight cars waiting for the green are Rolls- Royces. The older money lives behind wrought -iron ;gates and plays on private tennis courts. Their boats are called yachts and they sit in slips along the In- tracoastal Waterway pro- tected by security guards and high-tech surveillance systems. It is also here that many Canadians gather throughout the year to take advantage of the country's other abundances; sand, sea and sunshine. The snowbirds find it easy to mingle with the wealthy in the shops along Palm Beach's Worth Avenue. You will also find them lounging on the soft sand beaches or standing in line for one of the performances at the Burt Reynolds Jupiter Theatre. Just because Palin Beach County represents money doesn't mean that you have to be a millionaire to vacation here. Within its boundaries, ranging from Jupiter in the north to Boca Raton in the south, there is a wide variety of accom- modation available. You can go for the gold and stay at The Breakers, a land- mark along the oceanfront, or you can fund less expen- sive lodgings scattered along the length of the county. When it comes to satisfy- ing the appetite there are upscale restaurants featur- ing almost all types of cuisine. On the other hand, smaller eateries and the usual chain outlets are always available to help ease the food budget cashflow. No matter where you go, be it West Palm, Palm Beach, Lake Worth or Delray Beach, you will always encounter the name Flagler. Having made his fortune in the oil business in Ohio in partnership with John D. Rockefeller, Henry Mor- rison Flagler first visited Florida while on a honey- moon with his third wife. Seeing the potential of the new southern frontier, he built his fust hotel, The For all your travel needs "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284-8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN *30 a. m 8:30 p m Mon Fri 10 a.m.-5P.m sstum%ys Ponce de Leon, in St. Augustine in 1888. After opening two more hotels in the area, he then purchas- ed a small railroad with a view to turning the east coast into an "American Riviera". As his railroad stretched further south he continued to open more hotels. Around these properties small towns sprung up to service both the railroad and the fledgling tourist in- dustry. Flagler reached Palm Beach after bridging the island to the mainland and then opened his largest hotel, The Royal Poin- ciana, in 1899. It was also here that he built a mansion called Whitehall" and gave it to his third wife as a wedding gift. Following complete restoration it is now open to the public and is known as the Flagler Museum. There are many other things to do and see here that won't damage the household treasury. If you enjoy fishing you should visit Belle Glade located on Lake Okeechobee on the west boundary of the coun- ty. The Lion Country Safari is worth a drive through or you can take a cruise along the Intracoastal and see some of the homes of the rich and famous. There are, of course, the legendary Palm Beach golf courses and you might want to keep in mind that special play -around packages are offered dur- ing the off-season. Affluence. Palm Beach County certainly has it. At Marine Museum Climb aboard and tour Toronto's last surviving steam tugboat - "S.S. Ned Hanlan" - as she officially opens for another season at the :Marine Museuun of Up- per Canada on Sun. May With. This year's opening will be complimented with a unique lecture dealing with Toronto Harbour Tugboats, delivered by John Sum- mers, Assistant Curator of the Marine Museum. Built in 1932, the venerable tug was named after Canada's world champion oarsman and Toronto Island resident, Ned Hanlan. For 33 years she broke ice, towed vessels and transported passengers to and from the Toronto Islands. Now in dry dock beside the museum, the restored "Ned Hanlan" offers visitors a chance to discover the workings of a steam vessel. The Marine Museum is located in Exhibition Place, southwest of the Automotive Building. Admission is $2.50 for adults; $1.50 for seniors and children; and $7 for a family.

The festival has been expanded to feature 28 of the most diverse, original and ex- citing English-language poets from around the globe.

However. after the tremendous success of last February's gathering, we've changed our minds'", says Artistic Director Greg Gatenby. "The attention last year's festival garnered Drought ardent farts out in droves, and created new audiences for live poetry. And, each of last year's at- tending poets had at least two other writers to recom- mend, necessitating an an- nual festival to accom- modate them all!"

A new decade brings us many new challenges. Housing is one of the most important ones that we have to face together in the years ahead. At the federal level, we must find solutions that will meet the needs Canadians face to- day, while keeping in mind our fiscal responsibilities. Hous- ing is a complex issue in itself. As well as being an economic indicator, it is a basic necessity of life. Our federal housing programs have to be flexible enough to res- pond to the regional and cultural differences of our vast country. This complexity is demanding and requires the co- operation of several participants. At the constituency level, I believe I am in the position to help you with this challenge. As a Member of Parliament with years of town council experience, i have been for- tunate enough to acquire first-hand knowledge of the obstacles facing home -buyers in Ontario Riding. It is with the goal of ensuring that home buyers take advantage of all the available resources to get the maximum out of their purchase, that we have set up a forum on buying a house. The forum will be arranged in a seminar format and representatives from various organizations which would be of service when purchasing a home will be in attendance. Some of the specific topics that will be discussed include the role of the real estate agent, financing the purchase, in- surance, the Ontario New Home Warranty Program, the role of CMHC, taxes. the Ontario Home Ownership Savings Plan and the planning of your community. Buying a home is the largest business transaction most of us will ever make. Canadians buy and sell houses for any number of reasons, but no matter how emotional or rational your decision is. the purchase of a house is a complex business transaction. I encourage you to participate in what I believe to be an educational and worthwhile experience. There will be a nominal fee of five dollars to cover the costs of the materials. refreshments and the venue. Advanced registration is recommended. The program is set for the morning of Mar. 31st, commen- cing at 9 a.m. at the Ajax High School. Those interested should contact my constituency office at 103 Old Kingston Road. Ajax, or phone 6860432. •AJAX PICKERING HOSPITAL The hospital auxiliary could use you to help in the "In Ser- vice Program". You need only volunteer for 3 hours per week.
