JIM W "Cabaret 1990" is a musical extravaganza which will suit everyone, young, or in the golden years of their life. The com- edy should keep everyone laughing, and forget about G.S.T. didate Rick Johnson has demanded the Peterson Liberals to provide details of how the residents of Whitevale and surrounding communities will be com- pensated for the loss of their property values and livelihood and how these residents will be compen- sated for the loss of their water supply should the ill- conceived Pi dump site in this North Pickering com- munity happen. "The Pi dump site is the key example of how Norah Stoner has failed to repre- sent the people of Durham West," said Johnson. "The Liberal incumbent has ac- cepted the decision of her government to proceed with P1 without demanding details as to how affected residents will be compen- sated. Because of her inef- fective representation at Queen's Park, the Peterson Liberals think they can force a dump on our com- munity. " "Norah can attempt to lay the blame for Pi on Durham Region. but it was her government that owned the lana and made it available for the dump," he added Mr. Johnson said the Pi dump site must be sub- jected to a comprehensive environmental assess- ment, not fast -tracked through the environmental approval process, as ap- proved by the Peterson Liberals. $170,000 Grant For Centre Allan Furlong, MPP Durham Centre, has an- nounced a $170,000 grant to Durham College's Early Learning Centre. The one- time funding will be used to undertake a study of child care needs in Durham Region. Mr. Furlong said that the purpose of the study is to gather information on ex- isting licensed child care centres and support ser- vices and to project future child care needs throughout the region. Let's Brag That We're Canadians! MAII.1 bf,� .—Mm b aw� ' . Page 2 THE NEWS/ POST Wed. August 29, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us That Rouge Dump Site At the recent Metro Council meeting Councillors Bob Sanders and Ken Morrish spoke on putting the Rouge Valley dump site under the Environmental Assessment Act which could take up to 10 years to complete. The vote was 15 to 14 in favour of this latest step to save the Rouge River Valley land. Metro Chairman Alan Tonks protested the move at the meeting but was unable to turn the vote against the resolu- tion. He said that this would bring the garbage crisis closer to Metro and Metro may now have to apply for another dump site in the Rouge River Valley as he feels that this is the only area inside Metro capable of handling a dump. But the vote to put the M2 site on hold for an environmen- tal assessment effectively blocks efforts to punt a dump on the 136 acres site. The worts committee had recommended that Metro apply under the Environmental Protection Act for an assessment which is a shorter process and could have made the site available within three years. The current Keele Valley site in Vaughan being used by Metro is now taking garbage from six Simcoe County municipalities and the garbage from Orangeville may be directed by the province to this site cutting back the use of this site by Metro Toronto. Garbage from Durham and Peel dons may be diverted to the Keele Valley site next year when the landfill sites in those regions become full. The proposed Whitevale dump site has been exempted by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment from full en- vironmental hearings but the Town of Pickering is suing the ministry for its decision. The use of incinerators in Metro Toronto has been talked about briefly but should get more consideration in the im- mediate future as the landfill sites become less and less and the cost of transporting garbage to far away locations becomes expensive. Actually, an incinerator in In- dianapolis studied by Metro Councillors Bob Sanders and Maureen Prinsloo appears to be an excellent alternative to landfill sites. In that Indiana city the incinerator doesn't give chemical pollution in the air and the burning of gar- bage creates steam and produces electricity which is fed in- to the electrical system to earn money to pay for the cost of the incinerator. This seems like the right answer for Metro Toronto - incinerators could be built in many industrial areas throughout Metro and save transportation costs and pollution as well. Letter To The Editor Peterson- Get Off Bus Richard Mackie of our Globe and Mai] reports that on August 15th, Mr. Peterson purposely avoided unemployed U.A.W. members in Windsor. Remember Louis XVI, the Last King of France, who stayed at Versailles, while the Parisians voiced their discontent? We now have the king on the bus, watching the peasants mouth epithets from a com- fortable distance. Get off that air-conditioned bras, Mr. Premier. It can be a rough little world in Ontario in 1990. Come and meet and greet the people: hungry children, the elderly poor, native people, and the unemployed Get off the bus. It is no longer the Ontario depicted in those saccharine videos, with their insipid little jingles. Today. we see racism, homeless yang people, over crowded and under funded schools, drug addic- tion and garbage dumps in our own backyards. We do not all live like the Cleavers of Leave it to Beaver any longer. Will no other party present our voters with a coherent response to our growing social problems? Oh, and Mr. Premier. no politician worth his salt hires goons to eject mouthy hecklers from meetings. "If you can't stand the beat in the kitchen ...". Yours truly.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Taxpayers beware — Trough Day is coming! On September 4, the 75 Members of Parlia- ment elected just six years ago will qualify for pen- sions worth $30 million. That's scandalous but true. MPs enjoy a gold— plated pension plan that no one in the private sec- tor could ever afford. Under the MPs' pen- sion plan, after only six years of service, an MP qualifies for a pension which: ■ has unlimited protec- tion against inflation; ■ starts immediately upon retirement, regardless of their age, and • is payable no matter what kind of job the MP gets after leaving the House of Commons (except Senator). The implications of this pension scheme are mind boggling. If an MP retires on September 4 at age 36 af- ter serving six years, he is entitled to receive ap- proximately S17.000 each and every year for the next 24 years. Orce this MP turns 60 the unlimited inflation in- dexing which has been ac- cumulating for 24 years kicks in. Depending on the past inflation rate, the amount he receives in pension benefits could double or even triple. From then on, for the rest of his life, his pension rises every year with infla- tion . Actuarial experts have calculated that a 36 year old MP who quits after six years could receive an in- credible S1,627,580 in pension benefits if he lived to be 75. That's considered a conservative estimate I Of course, it is the tax- payers who have to subsi- dize this lavish pension scheme. MPs don't con- tribute nearly enough to fund a pension program that pays for those kinds of benefits after only six years. Also, MPs contribute a mere 1 per cent of their incomes to provide for unlimited protection against inflation. This to- ken contribution is not nearly enough to fund an unlimited indexing fea- ture. The taxpayer has to pick up most of the tab. That, of course, is the irony. While many tax- payers scrimp and save to make RRSP contributions and while others watch in- flation erode the value of their pensions, MPs enjoy the lavish benefits of the richest pension plan in the country. Leaders should lead by example. Wouldn't it be nice if one of those 75 MPs who become eligible for the pensions on Trough Day publicly took a principled stand against this outrage before becoming a willing accessory to the MP pen- sion np off? That would be real leadership. (David Somerville is President of The National Citizens' Coalition.) Tenants Get Political Tenants! Now is the time to be beard" This is the message of the largest tenant advocacy group in Metropolitan Toronto. The Federation of Metro Tenants' Associations (FMTA) has been conducting its own eamn- paign among tenants since the election call, encouraging tenants to get involved in the political process. In the past tenants have been labelled as less likely to vote than homeowners, and this has contributed to their issues being ignored by politicians. The biggest barrier to tenants voting is a feeling of powerlessness. Many tenants feel that voting will not do any good, so they don't bother to vote. However, FMTA Chair, Joyce Hall, thinks this elec- tion may be different because of tenant discontent with the province's Rent Review system. So many people all over Ontario have been hit with big rent increases and they're angry. Gang through Rent Review is a politicizing experience that affects tenants literally at home," says Joyce Hall. Here and There Funds Ontario Sports Centre The Ontario Sports Centre will receive a $3,436,200 grant to continue providing administrative support services and accommodations to provincial sport, fitness and recreation organizations in 1990-91. ' `The Ontario Sport Centre makes an outstanding con- tribution each year to the development of amateur athletes across the province, both through instruction and support services," Ontario Minister of Tourism & Recreation Ken Black said. "Provincial sport organizations are able to operate more efficiently because of the excellent support they receive. This is why my ministry wholeheartedly con- tributes to such a worthwhile endeavor," The grant is in addition to the $12 million which will be given this year to 81 provincial sports organizations for athlete development programs and special projects such as festivals and multi -sport seminars. $54,740 In Operating Grants Three Ontario heritage organizations will receive a total of $54,740 in operating grants. A grant of $13,335 will be used by the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario Incorporated to assist in its work during the current fiscal year. The Ontario Archaeological Society received $30,412 to help with ongoing programs. The Ontario Association of Ar- chivists will receive a grant of $10,993 to support its services and projects. ;753,880 In Grants The National Ballet School in Toronto and the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal have been awarded operating grants of $612,754 and $140,126 respectively. These grants will be used to support the ongoing ad- min strative expenditures for the two internationally renowned training institutions. This amount, which represents 8D% of each school's 89,90 grant, has been ap- proved to meet current budget needs. Tire Recycling Grant Environment Ontario has granted the National Rubber Company Inc. of Toronto hurling to build a four -million - fire -a -year used tire processing plant to produce recycled crumb rubber. The $7.9 million grant will also support product and market development to allow National Rubber Company Inc. to manufacture recycled crumb rubber products re- quiring eight million used tires a year. Agreement Signed In Saskatchewan A bilateral agreement extending areas for mutual diseta- sion and development was signed on Aug. 13th in Saskatoon by Shirley Martin. Minister of State for Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Roland Crowe, Chid of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations. The agreement provides for continued and expanded joint review of issues of concern to Indian people of Saslrat- cbewan. It serves as an extension to the agreement signed in June. 1989 which established the office of the Treaty Commissiotrer and a consultation process for post- secondary education. Isn't that interesting that some Indian nations have the right idea in talking to government - and don't have to use a single gun or mask! New Business Ventures Ontario Hydro's New Business Ventures Division made an unanticipated sale of heavy water to new Brunswick Power during June. The sale involved the purchase of three tonnes of heavy water for about $1 million. Also included is the lease of ten tomes of heavy water. The heavy water will replace amounts lost during normal operation of the Point 1epreau Nuclear Generating Station. Heavy water is an integral part of the nuclear reaction pro- cess in CANDt; reactors. Nanticoke Milestone Nanticoke thermal generating station, near Simcoe, reached a milestone in June with the installation and com- missioning of a $40 million pollution control system. The newly installed system, called flue gas conditioning, is designed to reduce flyash emissions from the station's eight, 512 MW generating units. Over the past few years, Ontario Hydro has been increas- ing the use of low sulphur coal to reduce acid gas emissions from its thermal stations. However, flyash collection equip- ment does not work efficiently with low sulphur coal. The flue gas conditioning system improves this performance by injecting minute quantities of sulphur trioxide and am- monia into the collecting equipment. Similar pollution con- trol equipment is now being installed in units at the Iamb - Fifteen percent of all rental units in Ontario were facing ton generating station, near Sarnia. rent review in 1989 - a higher percentage in the Metro area. $140.000 Grant For Historical Society At the same time, less than 4% of Metro's tenant households 3r can afford to buy an average resale home.

August 29, 1990 -Bill Watt's Worlds MY BUDDY The well described smash hit musical Buddy concludes its run this Saturday at the Royal Alex. It then moves to Calgary and San Francisco before hitting Broadway - still the Big Apple -in November. We were back recently for another look at it. Several reasons there were for the return visit. We en- joyed it before, we wanted to see if the energy output was still as high as on open- ing night and also there is the thought that if it ever comes back it will again be hot city for tickets. ( Mind you, we felt the same way about Durante which, we understand, has now disbanded without ever making it to Broadway. Pi- ty.) Well, the energy level is still there and might even be higher than ever as the cast is now in a well greas- ed groove. And, what a cast it is! If there is a weak or even comparatively weaker member of same we couldn't find him or her. All -all! -act, sing and play instruments masterfully. Realize now, that the music is all on stage -no pit band -and is integral to the plot. Playing, singing, dan- cing and acting are all per- forming disciplines and to do any one of them is an ac- complishment. To do all is wondrous and yet each cast member of Buddy does. We dislike using current "in" words but it's truly awesome. At the top of this incredi- ble pyramid of talent is Paul Hipp in the title role as Buddy Holly. His physical resemblance to Buddy Holly can be credited to makeup. His talent, however, is God given and honed by the dedication of an artist. Tru- ly, one begins to believe in immortality in watching Paul Hipp become Buddy Holly. When the show makes it to Broadway he must sure- ly receive a Tony nod. If it were within our power, we'd award it to him now. Of course the show is fill- ed with the great music of the times including That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue. Maybe Baby. Oh Boy. Chantilly Lace. It Doesn't Matter Anymore. La Bam- ba and close to a score of others.

Everybody smiles as they leave the theatre. In- deed our young waitress at Meyer's to which we repaired after the show for a nightcap told us that she can always spot the patrons who have been to see Buddy . . they're so happy and good natured. While discussing the show with our charming companion and wondering how best to convey its im- pact she suggested that we merely say `it's great, great, great .. and tell your readers to go, go, go." Right on, right on, right on! AULT WEIN: The Toronto Operetta Theatre has announced its 1990 91 season and we are most enthusiastic. We love all kinds of music, as witness our comments on Buddy, but have a special affection for operetta. No disrespect is intended toward the music of Victor Herbert, Sigmund Romberg and early Jerome Kern, however, in stating this we rather prefer the European rather than North American operetta. Imagine then our pleasurable anticipation of the opening production. It is The Gypsy Baron (Der Tigeunerbaron) and it will star Marls Dubois in the ti- tle [role. The T.O.T. Artistic Director Guillermo Silva - Marin will direct this pro- duction personally and the orchestra will be conducted by Paul Robinson. Mr. Robinson is the gentleman one hears bully- ing Paul Surtees on CJRT's Records in Review. He is a fire, meticulous conductor whose style, like that of the late Fritz Reiner. is most workmanlike. What he might or might not lack in warmth conducting operet- ta he will more than make up in fidelity to the score. The Gypsy Baron nus Sept. 7th, 8th, 10th. 12th, 14th and 15th at the Bluma Appel Theatre, a well nigh perfect setting for operet- ta.

Applications are invited from singers, apprentice coaches and apprentice stage directors. The singers' auditions will take place in Montreal, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto. Though prior pro- fessional experience is not a requisite, applicants must have vocal training in opera and display artistic aptitude while having a strong musical background and at least adequate per- forming experience. Application deadline is Sept. 30th and all applica- tions should be sent to Na- tional Auditions Co - Ordinator, Canadian Opera Company, 227 Front St. E., Toronto, M5A 1E8. Good luck. BIR. NICE GUY: Broadcasting is a tough business and many of the people in it are hard edged and abrasive. Not all of cause but enough so that the nice ones stand out. One of the nicer men in broad- casting is Telemedia's Barry Nesbitt. We can't claim him as a friend but he is an acquaintance of ours and it's always a pleasure to meet and talk with him. Well. Barry is presenting something that we'd like to direct to the public's atten- tion. It's called Nes-Bits & Pieces and is described as a reflective divertissement from minstrel days to early radio and Broadway with jokes and snappy patter - snappy patter? -along the way. The place is the Variety Clubrooms at the top of the Westbury Hotel and the date is Fri. Sept. 7th at 8:30 p.m. Admission is a modest $10 donation which will be forwarded to the Perform- ing Arts Lodges of Canada. There will be a cash bar. Reservations are now be- ing accepted at 961-730o. "A warm nostalgic journey back to a happier time when the world seem- ed to be a little brighter and a little more at peace" is a nice way to end a busy week with a nice man. Break a leg, Barry. OMISSIONS: We're thinking seriously about making that cut line a regular feature of this lit- tle endeavour. Some readers have made queries about Le Ion Des Etoiles, an evening of ballet featuring stars from around the world on behalf of Variety Village. The queries are twofold . when and where. That's not surprising when one realizes that a complete opening sentence of our piece on the matter was missed. Be advised then that "Le Ion des Etoiles returns on Sept. 5th to The O'Keefe. More recently in a review of the play Torch Song Trilogy, a complete line was missed again. In commenting on the performance of Fiona Willsie, we wrote "Worldly she is but not so much so that she is incapable of Canada's Newest Nobel Winner At Science Centre What do the names Frederick Banting, J.J.R. MacLeod, Gerhard Herberg and John Polanyi have in common? Besides being Canadian (by birth or naturalization), all four are Nobel Prize winners. Now Sidney Aitman's name can be added to this distinguished list. The Montreal -born Yale University professor became the latest Nobel Prize laureate for his work on RNA (ribonucleic acid) as a biological catalyst. Professor Altman talks about his ground -breaking discovery at the Ontario Science Centre on Sun. Sept. 9 at 2 p.m. The two nominators for the Nobel Prize said that Professor Altman's work "not only revolutionizes our thinking about catalysis in biological systems but also has pro- found implications with respect to theories about the origin of life and early biological evolution on this planet." Altman's discovery was that RNA, one of the two vital genetic materials in every living cell, could ac- tively engage in chemical reactions. The discovery, made in the late 1970 and early 1980s, astonished molecular biologists who had thought RNA was a more or less passive ele- ment in the cell's genetic machinery. As a result of the discovery and Altman's subsequent research, genetic engineers are lear- ning to manipulate RNA with the same dexterity as they manipulate DNA, the other vital genetic material in the cell. Province Seeks Designs For Whitby Hospital The provincial govern- ment is seeking architec- tural consultants to prepare design drawings for the redevelopment of Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. -Having completed an analysis of the program re- quirements for the new hospital, we are proceeding to the next stage in the hospital's redevelopment - finding an architectural team to do the design." said Government Services Minister Chris Ward. Invitations to the ar- chitectural community will be issued later this month asking interested design consultants to take part in a prequalification process. "Ultimately, a short list of architectural consulting teams will be drawn up and we will invite more detail- ed design proposals from them," he added. "The Ministry of Health is committed to providing a comprehensive and ac- cessible regional mental health care system," Health Minister Elinor Caplan said. "The new RESTAURANT AND BANQUET HALLS Whitby Psychiatric hospital will complement services provided in com- munity menta health pro- grams and other general hospitals in the region.' The new hospital will provide specialized pro- grams rograms for those who cannot be treated in their local communities, as well as a 25 -bed acute care psychiatric unit for Durham Region and Vic- toria County. The rebuilding of Whitby Psychiatric Hospital is part of an overall pian which also includes the establishment of a regional advisory body to co- ordinate the delivery of mental health services for people with severe illness living in the area. The new hospital will oc- cupy approximately 86 acres of its current 155 acre site. The Whitby Psychiatric Hospital serves a popula- tion of approximately 1.5 million in Scarborough, East York, part of North York, Victoria County and the regional municipalities of York and Durham. ........... tears of heartbreak.".

August 29, 1990 THE POST Page 7 BLOCK PARENTS Canada Trust has put out an informative pamphlet on the Block Parent Program that I picked up at the Pickering Library. A Block Parent is any responsible adult who cares enough about the well being of children and other persons to volunteer his or her home as a safe refuge when a need arises. A Block Parent sign in the window lets children in distress know that a Block Parent is home to provide a safe haven. And even when there is no cause for concern, the Block Parent sign can act as a deterrent to potential of- fenders who can quickly conclude that the neighbourhood has its own safety support system. If you are interested in being a Block Parent, pick up one of the brochures, fill it out and mail or bring it to your nearest Elementary School, your police force or the manager at any office of Canada Trust Realtor.

Expats to vote in British and European Elections Did you think you had lost your vote in Britain' "Yes,'' says Jean Turner, an expat and former nurse now living in Mill Bay, British Columbia. Mrs. Turner and her physi- cian husband Tony. are two of over six million people of British origin living in Canada. Like many other expats. Dr. and Mrs. Turner, who have lived in Canada for 16 years, are well established here but maintain close contacts with friends, family and events in Britain. In fact, the Turners subscribe to the air mail edition of the Manchester Guardian. "Until now I didn't know I could have a say in what hap- pens in Britain. I'm just delighted by the prospects," said Mrs. Turner. Lord Beaverbrook, grandson of the first Lord Beaverbrook, Max Aitken, will be in Canada on September 5.1990 to en- courage expats to register for #_ei+ r The Cartaduen Red Cross Society the next British election, ex- pectcd sometime next year. Lord Beaverbrook, who is also the treasurer of the Conser- vative Party in Britain. slid "Every voice counts. Expats. no matter where they live-in Canada, have a vote in our British and Europeaaelections. We are relying on them to reg- ister, and to use their votes." In 1989. the British Parlia- ment extended the right to vote to all people who are at least 18 years old, who have emigrated from Britain, and who have lived abroad for less than 20 years. This also gives the right to vote to those who emigrated as children but who fleet these qualifications. Expats will vote by proxy ballot. In the event an expat cannot designate a proxy, the British Conservative Party will undertake to match expats with a proxy voter, if the registration form is mailed to their Central Office in Westminster. Voter registration forms and full information are available by writing to -Conservatives Abroad P.O. Box 2050, Sta- tion Q, Toronto, Ontario, M41T 2V5, stating the number of forms required (one per voter). British Consuls also have reg- istration forms. Wed. August 29, 1990 THE NEWS/ POST Page 9 Metro East Trade Centre Expanding Its Facilities By Another 112,000 sq.ft. The eagerly awaited ex- pansion of the Metro East Trade Centre is about to become a reality. The of- ficial ground breaking ceremony is scheduled for Thurs. Aug. 16th, with con- struction beginning im- mediately thereafter. The expansion will in- crease the current floor space capacity by another 100,000 square feet, plus provide an additional 12,000 "Proud Beginnings" At Black Creek Pioneer Village Labour Day weekend, Sept. 1-3, marks the final performances of Proud Beginnings", a historical play with music, at Black (geek Pioneer Village. The play, by the acclaim- ed Theatre on the Move, re- counts the trials and trium- phs of two United Empire Loyalist families, the Sinclairs and the Stewarts, as they celebrate their 10th anniversary in Upper Canada. Through storytelling and song, the characters recall their flight from the United States during the American Revolution. As well, they tell how they created their new home in Upper Canada. Forty-five minutes in length, the play is presented twice daily, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. It is free with village admission. In addition, Black Creek's collection of bed - 600 Nursing Beds For Mufticuftural Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced the licensing of 600 new nurs- ing home beds dedicated to multicultural use. She said annual operating funds of approx- imately $10 million had been set aside to support the additional beds. The allocation meets a commitment made by Premier David Peterson to invite proposals from non- profit groups to establish 600 nursing home beds specifically tailored to meet the needs of Ontario's diverse cultural com- munities. In addition to the 600 beds, Mrs. Caplan said her ministry is also acting on a commitment to license more nursing home beds in Metro Toronto. by allocating a further 60 beds to the three cultural com- munities whose bed pro- posals were rated the highest, and where need was clearly demonstrated. The health minister of- fered an extra 20 beds each to Metro's Chinese, Greek and Ukrainian com- munities. Each has three months to respond to this offer. Some of the multicultural nursing home allocations include the Chinese Com- munity Nursing Home for Greater Toronto, together with the Mon Sheong Foun- dation, 60 beds; Estonian Relief Committee in Canada, 32 beds; Hellenic Home for the Aged (Greek), 58 beds; Labdara Foundation (Lithuanian), 60 beds; Slovenian Linden Foundation, 30 beds; St. Demetrius Development Corp.

Once completed this December, the Metro East Trade Centre will offer trade and consumer shows and other special events, a total of 232,000 square feet of net floor space. According to Facility Manager Jennifer Sick- inger, "the expansion will put the Metro East Trade Centre among the top trade facilities in the province. We already have 15 trade and consumer shows book- ed into the new addition and it hasn't even been built yet." The new addition will allow the Metro East Trade Centre to become a fully operational trade facility, without having to turn away business requiring a full weekend." Currently, the centre operates the most suc- cessful indoor flea market in North America each Sunday which limits its availability for events of any duration. The facility has ex- perienced some local criticism concerning the traffic congestion associated with the flea market but that should be alleviated following con- struction. "The south lobby of the facility where the ad- ministrative offices are currently operating will be demolished to allow for a thoroughfare and more parking." says Sickinger. "This has been planned to produce 1,000 more parking spots and eliminate the back-up on Brock Rd."

To be examined are cen- tres in the various com- munities. Centres are key concentrations on rapid transit of business, govern- ment, housing develop- ment and institutional, cultural and recreational facilities. The current Official Plan includes a policy to create new centres for employ- ment across Metro instead of concentrating all employment in the downtown core. Continued population and employ- ment growth over the last decade has increased development pressure. As a result, centres have become progressively more important as an alternative focus for growth. Centres provide a com- munity focus for work; shopping, recreation and cultural activities and pro- mote better utilization of existing rapid transit lines and the promotion of in- creased transit use. The centres create more job opportunities close to where people work and pro- vide less dependency on cars and greater potential for walking and transit. North York and Scar- borough already have established centres and others are emerging elsewhere in Metro.
