The Ontario Budget
by Mike Harris. Progressive Conservative Leader
With the 1992.93 provincial budget announcing spending
increases of 3.9 per cent. growth in government spending in
Ontario continues to be the highest of all provinces. It's
more than twice the rate of inflation and well above in-
creases in other Canadian jurisdictions.
The 12 tax grabs in this budget pull over a billion dollars
out of the provincial economy. The middle-class is hit hard -
this budget drops the surtax level to include those earning
$53,000 and over and broadens the Employers Health Tax to
snare the self-employed and farmers. Business confidence
is shaken further as the N`DP places a new temporary sur-
tax on bank income. Provincial budget figures estimate this
move will haul $35 million out of the economy over the next
18 month.
Worse. the budget refuses to address the two most urgent
concerns of Ontario's struggling business community: Sun-
day shopping, which is desperately needed to counter the
cross-border shopping crisis. aria the ''DP's proposed
changes to the Ontario Labour Relations Act.
The government has included in its revenue projections a
total of $1.2 billion in federal stabilization payments which
it has not vet received from the federal government. The
Treasurer has also deferred matching contributions to
public pension funds, shaving some S%4 million from its ex-
penditures. This brings into question the credibility of the
government's numbers.
The deficit for the past fiscal year has been revised up-
ward to $10.9 billion. There is a projected deficit of $9.9
Nil= for the coming year and an accumulated debt of $62
billion. It's a sobering reality - the big spending years of the
Liberal administration. combined with the big deficit years
of the NDP administration. will haunt our province for a
ver long time. In the seven years of the Liberal TDP era
their have been no fewer that 55 tax increases with spen-
ding at double the rate of inflation. The message is clear -
Ortario has a long way to go on the road to sound fiscal

Queen's Park Report Metro Council News
by Gerry Phillips
M.P.P. Scarborough Agincourt
At least one New Democrat M.P.P. is spending tax-
payers' money to send out information about the provincial
budget which misrepresents the truth, Liberal Treasury
Critic Gerry Phillips. MPP for Scarborough -Agincourt.
says.
Education Minister Tony Silipo. MPP for Dovercourt, has
spent at least $4.000 to send out a circular titled "1992 On-
tario Budget Summary" on his constituency letterhead.
The circular states. "Ontarians making $53,000 a year or
more will see increases in their personal income taxes. The
other 90 per cent of Ontariars making less than $53,000 will
not be affected (sic) by these changes."
This is not true. The 5NDP's Budget increased personal in-
come taxes for virtually everyone• including people making
as little as $10,000 a year, Mr. Phillips said.
"In 1992, for every $1 the federal government cut in taxes.
the Ontario government is snatching back $3." Mr. Phillips
said. "The Education Minister is not only wasting tax-
payer's money: he's wasting money to misrepresent the
truth."
During question period in the Legislature. the Liberal
critic urged Treasurer Floyd Laughren to put a stop to the
practice.
.'The government's concerted effort to spread mistrvths
about their budget is wrong and I want to know what the
Treasurer is prepared to do to set the record straight," Mr.
Phillips said.
Jury System Review
Attorney General Howard Hampton has announced a
review of the jury selection process and the establishment
of a race relations unit in the Ministry of the Attorney
General.
I am announcing today some initiatives that we have
been working on for some time. in consultation with com-
munity groups, to respond to the need for greater
knowledge. sensitivity and skill in tins area." said Mr.
reviewHampton-
team will examine the jury selection process to
ensure that jury panels include all members of society. and
that the selection process for the final 12 jurors is fair. The
review team will report to the Attorney General within 60
days. It will consider such questions as:
Should residents of Ontario who do not yet have full
citizenship be eligible for jury duty'
Do the present nx0ods of paving jurors or the lack of
wage protection dissuade low-income persons from respon-
ding to jury notices'
Are there more steps that need to be taken to ensure that
visible minorities. aboriginal persons and persons with
disabilities can serve as jurors'.
Should we consider using additional methods of selecting
those who receive jury notices. beyond the reliance on
assessment roks,
"It is critical that jurors are not only impartial, but are
also perceived to be impartial," Mr. Hampton said.
The Attorney General called on the federal government
to eliminate any possibility that visible minorities are ex-
cluded as jurors in chmtinal trials, and asked the Minister
of Justice to look at the entire way jurors are selected, in-
cluding the ability of jurors to be disqualified by counsel at
trial for other than valid causes.
**We are asking the Federal Minister of Justice to include
a statement of principle removing the possibility of ex-
cluding jurors on the basis of race, religion or political
belief, in addition to the current Federal proposal
eliminating Clown stand asides,.. Mr. Hampton said.
The Race Relations Unit will aggressively implement
anti -racism training and hold the Ministry accountable for
rapid progress on race relations initiatives.
'*This unit is being established in response to long-
standing community concerns about the barriers faced by
racial minorities in the justice system." the Attorney
General said. "It is another step in keeping with the
ministry's mandate to provide accessible• affordable,
representative and responsive justice services for all On-
tarians. "
The Race Relations Unit will:
expedite the delivery of already tested race relations
training for Crown Attorneys and court staff;
ensure the ministry's law reform initiatives and pro-
grams are sensitive to racial discrimination, with par-
ticular emphasis on the administration of criminal law;
and
work with the community to identify community-based
initiatives that reflect the needs of racial minority groups.
" TTnese initiatives are an important step, but we must
recognize that real change will take some time," said Mr.
Hampton. "In these trying times we ask for tolerance and
understanding "

Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek
Oil From Sewage Sludge
On Apr. 22, the Hon. Pauline Browes, Federal Minister of
State for the Environment, presented Metro Toronto with a
cheque for $1,000,000 to assist in the demonstration of ex-
perimental research and development work to distil oil
from sewage sludge at the Scarborough Highland Creek
Sewage Plant. This project has had my full support since its
inception by our Works Department.
A small scale working model of the equipment proposed
at Scarborough Highland Creek Treatment Plant has been
operated successfully by staff of Environment Canada's
Waste Water Technology Centre at the Hamilton-
Wentworth's Woodward Avenue sewage treatment plant
over the past 25 months.
The sludge is subjected to high heat while rotating in an
inclined drum reactor which moves the sludge from one end
of the equipment to the other.
The vapours generated by the high heat enter a second
distillation chamber adjacent to the reactor. The oil and
water are separated and it is expected that 60 to 70 barrels
of oil will be salvaged each day. The remaining charcoal
material which is discharged from the reactor is then used
as fuel to dry the sludge prior to its entry into the inclined
drum.
One of the many reasons that I support this project is
because of its impact on the environment. At the present
time, the existing sludge treatment process emits occa-
sional odours which escape into the atmosphere. This new
system should ctd down on odours coming from the plant
and at the end of this controlled operation. only ash. water
and oil remain.
Alternative Hearing For Seniors
Construction is set to begin shortly on a 14 stoney. 124 unit
apartment building on Neilson Road just north of Sheppard
Ave. E. wttich will offer an alternative to renual accom-
modation for people over 55 years of age.
The Metro Toronto Housing Company Limited (MTHCL)
project is a cross between non-profit housing and con-
domnsum living and will be ideal for seniors who have dif-
ficulty, financially and physically, maintaining their pre-
sent homes. There are no government subsidies involved
and the MTHCL is offering to bury back suites at no less than
the purchase price if buyers decide to sell their units within
the first three years of purchase. Buyers will be able to sell
their units back to the MTHCL at the purchase price. plus
appreciation, starting in the fourth year.
This project is the first of its kind in Canada, and the
guaranteed equity plan is expected to be attractive to
seniors who are hesitant about reentering the housing
market. Please give my office a call at 3912-4065 if you would
like further information on the Neilson Road project.

After 20 years, customer feels " part of the family"
You would think that Bob
Johnston's Chevrolet
Oldsmobile Geo dealership
is in the business of selling
cars - but according to their
customers, it's really in the
business of selling service!
June 9, 1992 will mark Bob
Johnston's 20th year of
business in Scarborough
and customers Fern
Crawford, Newton Bennett
and Walter Chillman all
agree that it's the superior
service and personal,
friendly treatment that has
made Bob Johnston's
when Walter arrived to get
it, and how he was worried
they were going to scratch
the inside of the truck box.
"Everything's worked out
good over the years," says
Walter.
Bob Johnston, who started
out 20 years ago with a
small staff ( How many
staff? „One - me!) says his
goal over the years has
been simple: "I try to give
the customers a fair
shake."
He estimates that 60 per
cent of their business is

dealership their number
one choice over the years.
In fact, Fern, Newton and
Walter have bought a total
of 13 automobiles from Bob
Johnston over a combined
period of 53 years'
Newton's 1972 Chevy Nova
was the very first car sold
at the dealership, and she
recalls: 'It was delivered
to my apartment with a
basket of mums." She's
told many co-workers since
then about Bob Johnston's
excellent service and says
"I don't believe they treat
me the way they do
because I've been coming
here so long - they treat
everybody the same."
Fern, who purchased her
first car from the dealer-
ship in 1979, says they've
lived up to one of her per-
sonal mottos: "It's nice to
be important, but it's more
important to be nice."
"I couldn't believe the ser-
vice the first time I came
here,"she says. "may
treated me like a
somebody, and everyone
was so friendly, including
the mechanics."
Walter's trust in Bob
Johnston's dealership was
reaffirmed just last week,
when he purchased his fifth
Chevy truck. And his 1972
pick-up was the first truck
ever sold off the lot, or,
more accurately, out of the
Jpppple orchard where Bob
ohnston had some of his
vehicles stored in the early
days. Bob Johnston and
Walter shared a chuckle
remembering how Bob's
kids were in the pick-up
repeat or referral, and
adds the dealership is com-
mitted to "putting
something back into the
cone= ity" and has spon-
sored numerous local
baseball, hockey, soccer
and ringette teams over the
years.
And "more than the usual
complement ofny
social activities." such as
the annual summer
barbecue and Christmas
party, contribute to the
cohesiveness and team
spirit of the 65 staff
members, he says.
The dealership (located at
4121 Kingston Rd.,phone:
284-1631) carries the full
line of Chevrolet,
Oldsmobile and Geo
vehicles, and has 18 service
and body shop bays.
Guildwood Leasing Inc.,
their leasing company, cur-
rently has over Soo leased
cars on the road.
Bob's son David, now
Vice -President and
General Manager of the
dealership, remains com-
mitted to his father's
philosophy as he takes the
company into the 90's.
"We're placing the same
emphasis on serving our
customers as we always
have," says David. It's ob-
viously working, since Bob
Johnston Chev Olds is
rated first in customer
satisfaction for the whole of
east ?rheum. according to
GM surveys.
Blue Jays Radio Broad-
caster Jerry Howarth is
also a fan of thedealership.
He was asked to do a couple
of commercials for Bob
Johnston three years ago,
and says he was im-
mediately "impressed with
his sincerity."
"They're unique -
everybody pulls for
everybody else and they're
always striving to be the
best dealership in the com-
munity," Jerry says, ad-
ding that the business
relationship has become a
friendship. "
He got a kick out of Fern's
.statement that "it's more
important to be nice"
because he keeps that
same proverb in the pages
of his play-by-play book
when broadcasting Jays
games.
Asked what she would
recommend about Bob
Johnston Chevrolet
6�
Wil 1 oil
Oldsmobile Geo to their
friends, Fern said: "When
you enter the showroom,
you don't have 10 salesmen
rushing at you. They are
courteous, professional car
people.„
"I need my car for work,"
says Newton, so depen-
dability is very important.
I've always been
satisfied, and if I ask them
(service) to check
something, they do it pro-
mptly. "
For Bob Johnston, his
satisfied customers over
the years are his biggest
reward. "I feel very, very
good. We have to be doing
something right here when
that happens."
Perhaps that's why
Newton Bennett sums up
her experiences with Bob
Johnston over the years
like this: "I feel like part of
'the family."

SUMMER TIME:
Yes, one knows that the
calendar says Spring but
it's truly now land finally!)
Summer. We know that
because Ontario Place is
now open for another
season of Al Fresco fun.
We were privileged to at-
tend the recent media
launch (we refuse to
employ that ridiculous
term "kick off" announc-
ing the new season) and, as
always, are muchl• im-
pressed by the many at-
tractions offered for one's
delectation. So many are
there that we shall not
mention all of them here
but promise that we shall
keep faithful readers ap-
prised of particular attrac-
tions as and when.
In the meantime, lamp
some of the following at-
tractions at The Forum. .
.Bare Naked Ladies (does
June Rowlands know about
this?). Little Richard, John
Lee Hooker (you'll have to
fight us for tickets for that
one!). Tom Jones. Rita
Macneil and. wait for it,
The Little River Band.
The last named hold a
particular spot in our affec-
tions. Some years ago. Jim
Monaco who was then with
A. & M. Records called us
one day and asked if we
could do something for and
about a relatively unknown
(to North American au-
diences 1 new Australian
grouip making its first local
appearance. The group
was obviously the Little
River Band and it
pleasures us that we were
the first reviewer in Toron-
to to listen to thein and of-
fer comment. You %ill
have guessed by now that
our review was com-
phmentar) and our opinion
of the band remains the
same.
Of course. there are a
whole frost of other attrac-
tions. Over at the Demp-
ster's Kids Festival

"children" anymore? 1
another Australian enter -
tamer will be making his
:North American premiere.
We refer to Pieter Combe.
Mellow -eyed Mary
Arsenault has sent along to
us his E.P. Chopsticks on
the Oak Street Music label
and we can attest that the
gentleman is well worth
one's custom.
At the media luncheon
the principal entertain-
ment was prodded by a
quartet of musicians billed
as Moxy Fruvous. Good
buddy Mark Terry of the
Bayview Playhouse tells us
that they've been around
for a few years now. That's
as might be: we can only
express our chagrin at not
having heard and seen
them before now. They are
merely sensational. Well.
perhaps that's overstating
the case but they're good,
bloody good'
They are, in our opinion.
the new Nylons. They
might even be better. The
Nylons. of late. seem to
have forgotten the eleventh
commandment which is

seriously" Moxy Fruvous
have not; they are enter-
tainers and they play to the
room. They are literate as
well as musical. They
entertain.
And. so does Ontario
Place. Paraphrasing Old
Father Thames. Govern-
ments may come. govern-
ments may go, what ever
the end shall be: Ontario
Place will continue to flow.
This year bids fair to be one
of the better flows.

We suspect that the love is

will be aware that our
daughter Fiona is one of
the brighter lights of

That's how our family
fell in love with theatre.
But, what about others?
(Gawd. how we love the
new lack of discipline that
allows one to begin a
sentence with a conjunc-
tion! 1. What about those
unfortunates to whom
theatre is or was only
something touched upon
ever so briefly by bored

teachers of Senior Matric

we tell you that one of our
so called teachers actually
thought that "1b7terefore

where are you Romeo,)
Well, good old O'Keefe
has come up with
something that should at
least pique the attention of
potential theatregoers. We
refer to the O'Keefe Centre
Balcony Club which was
recently announced.
This exclusive club will
meet in the Rear Bakom-
of the Theatre at the
Wednesday night per-
fornances of Cats. City of
Angels. Evita and The
Music of Andrew Lloyd -
Webber. They are all in-
cluded in the Summer
Season.
Tickets for these perfor-
mances are only $19. When
purchased, they will entitle
the purchaser to a com-
plimentary intermission
lounge and the opportunity
to attend an alcohol -free
( Boobte Rae is still. as we
write this. the Premiere of

worst one ever.) post per-
formance party in the
O'Keefe Centre's lower
lounge.
As we were writing this
we couldn't help thinking
that $19 is a helluvalot to
pay for second balcony.
Reason took over.

that $19 today probably
doesn't represent much
more than what it wound

respondent more years ago

ON YOUR TOES:
At the conclusion of its
current season our Na-
tional Ballet leaves for a
tour of the Orient that will
include nine cities in six
weeks. There might be a
recession implied or other-
wise, in North America but

IN PRINT:
Would any of our readers
kindly let us know if Dennis
Wheatley is still aive. He's
the author of numerous
novels about the ocult in
general and Satanism in
particular. The Satanist is
probably his best, followed
closely by "To Satan, A
Daughter'.
Mr. Wheatley was much
upon our mind while
reading The Power by
James Mills 1 Warner
Boobs 1. In it. Jack Ham-
mond is an American doc-
tor seconded by U.S. In-
teftence to uncover and
destroy the Soviet's Rus-
sian's ( what ever they're
called now) Spectrum. a
mechanical device to im-
plement Psvehotrauc War -
f are.
The term is a govern-
ment inspired buzz phrase
to describe the practice of
what are considered, but
might not be, occult
sciences and or arts: such
things as psychokinetics,
teleportation and the like.
Consider the tactical ad-
vantage of being able to
destroy enemy nuclear
warheads, thousands of
miles away in the enemy
homeland, by the
mechanically ( for now)
augmented power of the
mind.
Consider the strategic
advantage of reading and
influencing the thoughts
and behaviour of enemy
leaders.
Those are just two ex-
amples of the bad side or
misuse of psychotronics.
On the good side, consider
telekinesis teleportation.
Far and away the
greatest call upon the
world's available sources
of energy is that of
transportation. All that
would end when anyone or
anything could be
transported instantly,
anywhere.
Far fetched? Not so
much so that the world's
government intelligence
agencies aren't engaged in
researching psychotronics.
So Jack Hammond finds
himself on a mission to
Moscow to sidetrack the
Russian program at least
until the U.S.A. can catch
up. As his mission unfolds,
however, and initially with
scientific skepticism, he
comes to the age old
realization that the world is
the battleground of Satan.
And, God cannot be
defeated.
Given all that, one should
expect a first class thriller.
One gets it. . .until about
three quarters of the way
through the book. There's
good sex, interesting
research fundings and even
a hands on healing of the
ailing Premier Ardropov
arranged by his choice of
successor, the dashing and
young Mikhail Gorbachev.
Unfortunately Mr. Mills'
creative power seems to
diminish after that.
Perhaps he was pushing a
tight deadline. What ever
the reasons. The Power
declines into little more
than a glorified shoot out.
One almost imagines it as a
film for Bruce Willis.
As well, there are too
many loose ends. What
really happened to the
femme fatale? With her
powers would she really
perish in a privy? Perhaps
she didn't. perhaps she'll
return in a sequel.
If there is one, no doubt it
will be as enjoyable as The
Power. But, we think Den-
nis Wheatley could have
done ( could do?) a better
job than Mr. Mills.

people into good and bad.

or tedious." From Lady

RCMP
Raids
Video Stores
On Thurs. May 7 Roval
Canadian Mounted Police
simultaneously raided 12
Chinese -language video
stores in downtown Toronto
and Scarborough as they
opened for business.
Thousands of suspected
Pirated video-tape movies
were seized. More than 30
RCMP officers par-
ticipated In the raid.
The main focus of the
RCMP's efforts was a
video duplicating factory
located at Spadina Ave. in
downtown Toronto, which
was suspected of supplying
the 12 video stores with the
video-tape movies. Several
thousand movies and more
than 300 video recorders -
believed to be used for the
purpose of illegal duplica-
tion - were seized from the
duplicating factory.
The RCMP took this ac-
tion upon a complaint by
Eternity Video -Film Inc. of
Markham, which owns the
exclusive duplication and
distribution rights in
Canada for the movies.
Widespread illegal duplica-
tion of the movie had
troubled Eternity recently.
It was said to be the
largest raid ever under-
taken by the RCMP in
Toronto in a case of
suspected copyright infr-
ingemen. .

Plan New Environmental Policy
Over 120 Scarborough
Board staff members and
trustees devoted a weekend
to planning the implemen-
tation of the board's new
enviornmental policy
recently.
Two planning sessions
were held over the course
of five days through the
weekend of Apr. 25.
Keynote speaker was Wade
Davis, a botanist.

host and co-wnter of the
environmental series Ear-
thguide on the Discovery
Channel.
"It's exciting to see such
commitment to this impor-
tant board initiative." says
Ken Andrews, in charge of
outdoor education and
recycling for the board.
"These people believe
strongly enough in our
goals in environmental
education to devote their
free time to ensuring that
those goals are fulfilled for
the benefit, not ody d our
students and staff, but of
our community as a
whole. ,.
"
Mw Scarborough Board
of Educ-tiao affirms that
concern for the environ-
ment is a vital aspect of
education for every student
and the Scarborough Board
of Education shall assume
a leadership role relative to
emironmental education,
environmental action and
care of the environment."
The policy was written as
an affirmation of programs
and beliefs already
established at the board, as
well as a formal guideline
for new goals. The April
weekend sessions provided
an opportunity for
representatives of schools,
board departments and the
Board of Trustees to col-
laborate in creating en-
vironmental action plans.

Illy MeC
iiiw of Cason
The Coaching Associa-
tion of Canada has initiated
a new promotional cam-
paign to image young
women to consider
coaching - either as a
career or a volunteer.
Having more women in
the field of coaching is im-
portant for all Canadians.
Coaching provides women
with an opportunity to be in
a leadership position.
Through coaching they
learn how to teach and
direct people and how to
make a contribution to
their community.
Coaching is really
managing. It is the kind of
experience women meed to
get to excel in their careers
later in life. Women need to
take advantage of oppor-
tunities where they can in-
fluence others. Being in a
position of authority helps
young boys recognize that
women are competent
leaders and provides young
girls with important role
Sport administrators,
recreation programmers
and school officials benefit
too! We all recognise the
difficulty in attracting
volunteer coaches. By ask-
ing young worsen to con-
sider coaching. you are
greatly increasing the
number of potential can-
didates.
The Ready. Set, Coach
package includes a
6 -minute video, a teacher's
discussion grade and a
resource booklet. The
package is targeted to
women 16-24 years of age
and provides them with in-
formation on coaching
duties and ways to started through coarses
and community involve-
ment. The video and
discussion guide cost $10
and the resource booklet is
available for $1.

from Ottawa
wm Rene Soetens, M.P.
Each time we go shopping, we've got choices to make and
decisions to reach. Certainly, we should look at price and
quality as determining factors. But we should also take a
minute to think about Canada. We all have a stake in pro-
moting Canadian goods and services. When consumer spen-
ding stays at home, so do jobs. This is the main message
behind the federal government's recently unveiled
"Canada. Buy Into It" initiative.
Actually, the campaign was suggested by a number of
concerned Canadians. Over the past six months, the federal
government has consulted thousands of Canadians in 186
cities and towns during the "Community Talks" process, as
part of the Prosperity Initiative.
One suggestion that repeatedly arose in this consultation
process was to institute a "buy Canadian" initiative.
What's more, people expressed a necessity for the private
sector to become involved in communicating these vital
themes as effectively as possible. That is why the "Canada.
Buy Into It" message will be conveyed through paid media,
to Canadians from coast to coast, in virtually every con -
muarity and every region of the country.
Through this campaign. Canadians are being asked to
consider price and quality in their burying decisions, and if
comparable. to consider purchasing Canadian products and
services. It will highlight the fact that by purchasing a
Canadian product or service or by shopping in a Canadian
store, there is a payback in jobs and a stronger economy. It
will also stress that Canada is becoming more competitive
than ever with other countries, and continuing that pro-
gress is vital.
People in every part of Canada have always enjoyed a
bealthy measure of pride in the products and services that
are produced and sold here in Canada. By doing this. we're
aging Canadians to take a fresh look at the quality and
range of what we produce and sell in our own cowry.
The series of 196 Canada -wide -Community Talks..
meetings proved that Canadians believe that a cammpaign
Of this nature is necessary. and that it is needed now to help
economic recovery.
