June 10, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Rent Control Act The Ontario government has passed new rent control legislation. designed to protect tenants from high rent in- creases and ensure the repair and maintenance of rental housing effective Aug. 31st. The new law ensures that a tenant in Ontario will never face an increase in maximum rent which is more than the rent control guideline plus three per cent. The stent Control Act is the result of an extensive con- sultation during the past 18 months. Approximately one million tenant households were contacted during the con- sultation, a range of public meetings were held across the province and several sets of public hearings were con- ducted at Queen's Park. Under the new law, the Ministry of Housing will calculate a rent control guideline once each year to cover increases in the operating costs of a rental building due to inflation. These include increases in cost of items such as heat. hydro. water and municipal taxes. The guideline will also include a two per cent component to cover the cost of ongoing repairs to the building. "This enables every landlord in Ontario to receive one rent in- crease each year to cover the cast of inflation and the cost of regular repairs. Housing Minister Evelyn Gigantes said. If a landlord expenences a high cost for a repair. the landlord can applglo the Ministry of Housing for an addi- tional three per cent cent increase. However. a landlord can only apply to increase the rent for legitimate repairs. such as those %,inch maintain the stnicture of the building. health or safety standards. access for disabled persons or increased energy and water conservation. A tenant no larger has to pay for financing or for lu xw-% renovations. and a tenant's rent %ill be reduced when a repair has been paid for. As well. the IancUard must prove the additional costs are legitimate at a rent control hearing where the tenants have an opportunity to dispute the costs. The Rent Control Act also contains much stronger maintenance provisions, which prevent a landlord from ob- taining any rent increase at all if there is an otstandinlg Mat order against the building. "If there is poor maintenance. this legislation gives tenants a method to obtain a rent reduction." Should Be Ashamed Dear Sir Madam. Most Members of Parliament should be ashamed of themselves. They claim that BiU C-55, now before Parliament, makes their gold-plated pension plan fairer. The truth is that this bill is nothing but a cynical• decep- tive shell game. Once the politicians' flash and trickery is over, all of the lavish benefits of the MPs' pension plan re- main the same. A leading. independent pension expert has attacked Bill C-55 as a "waste of time For instance. under Bill C-55 MPs could still leave office after only six years and immediately start collecting pen sion, for life regardless of their age These fat pensions would still start at about $18.000 per year and would still have unlimited protection against inflation. What's really outrageous is that the great majority of our MPs seem to see nothuhg wrong with clinging to these lavish perks when 1.5 miUwn Canadians are out of work and 2 million are on welfare' We urge your readers to contact their MPs and press them to not only scrap Bill C-55 but to fundamentally reform this np-off of the Canadian taxpayer. National polls find urnprecendented disrespect for MPs. They have earned that disrespect Let's hope they try to earn our respect back by doing the nght thing with their pension plan. Sincerely. David Somerville. President The National Citizens' Coalition A man, fond of practical jokes. late one night sent his friend a collect telegram which read: "1 am perfectly well.

(Photo - Kin Wong) Direct Democracy Dear Editor: The Ontario Provincial Confederation of Regions t CoR 1 Party is dedicated to positive change for Ontario. We believe in Direct Democracy, so all citizens have a say in the issues that affect them. We want to institute a people's law of "Initiative and Referenda", which is a petition system that enables and empowers citrons to initiate referenda on issues of the day. The results would be bulling on the government. We believe in Recall. forcing M.P. P.s to fofiow the will of their constituents. or to be recalled to explain their actions and justify remaining in office. Also, we believe in fixed terms for Government. and fixed eiec-tion dates. These are the basic changes we advocate for the way the government does business. Socially. we recognize the family, next to the individual, as the basic btukhrig block of society. We feel that health care should receive priority over all non-essential spen- ding. Education must be responsive to people's cultural and social values, with a strong emphasis on reading. writing, and arithmetic. We believe that Canadian heritage and tranitwm should be cherished and promoted, not abused and abolished. Social engineering, as practised by current and past On- tario governmyemts, must end. If readers of this newspaper would like more information on the CoR party's platofrm, I would invite them to write me at this address: P. O. Box 670123, ...i' 00 Yonge St.. Toron- to.

President of Canada Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration, announced recently. To date, issuers have assembled and sold 884 pools of mortgages to individual investors and to institutional in- vestors, such as pension funds. Royal Trust issued the mor- tgage pool, worth $75,000,554.93, which pushed total sales to $10 billion. Queen's Park Report by Gerry Phillips M.P.P. Scarborough Agincourt Liberal Leader Lyn McLeod said June 3rd that "it's about time" the NDP government listened to the people of On- tario and introduced amendments which would provide for Sunday shopping. "The NDP's circus -style decision making is unaccep- table," said Mrs. McLeod. "The NDP government ignored public opinion because it was determined to go ahead with its Sunday shopping law. Now, four months later, the NDP is back where it started." "Trois government dithered while Ontario retailers lost millions of dollars, faced decisions on whether to break the Sunday shopping law, and were forced to buy ads to win support," said Mrs. McLeod. "Municipalities were burden- ed with having to draft by-laws to try to sort out the flawed law. - The NDP government will allow a free vote in the Legislature on its new Sunday shopping law. Meanwhile, the current law was not enforced enabling retailers to open last Sunday. "Bob Rae is continuing to abdicate his leadership role by allowing a free vote on Sunday, shopping," said Mrs. McLeod. "The Premier and his caucus owe it to the people of Ontario to be present during the vote. Otherwise, they are merely counting on the votes of the opposition to make a difficult decision for them." Mrs. McLeod said she is looking forward to examining the legislation to ensure that it protects the rights of both retailers and workers.

Chef Executive Offww Employers Expect Upswing In Job Opportunities More job opportunities are indicated for the Metro Toron- to omo-to area this simmer. based on results of the 1992 third quarter Employment Outlook Survey announced by Man- power ao-power Temporary Services, the world's largest temporary help service. "Tule job maket for the July August September penod appears more promising than it has in nearly two years, although it is clear that the effects of the recession still linger." said Bob Goodman, President of :Manpower's Toronto office. "For the next three months. 19% of the employers queued say they will engage in new hiring, while 11% indicate intentions to scale down. Another 61% expect no changes and 6% are uncertain of upcoming needs... A somewhat similar, although slightly less positive, outlook was expressed last year at this time when 16% of survey respondents said they would add staff and to% were preparing to cut back. ']twee months ago, the forecast was far less favourable, as only 3% had hiring intentions and 21% anticipated staff reductions. Indicated as the most promising sectors for new employ- ment this summer are durable goods manufacturing, transporatioWpublic utilities and wholesale retail trade. Cutbacks are seen in construction and public administra- tion. Nationally, 21% of nearly 1,500 companies express plans for further hiring and 15% anticipate lower staffing levels. A total of 59% will remain at present levels and 5% are not yet certain. These results are below the usual summer levels and represent the weakest third quarter outlook in a decade. - ------ - - - - - -- - - - - - —_-------------------� Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! i A year's subscription to one of these newspapers f SCARBOROUGH A INCOURT WEST HILL ' ne we news news CHECK THE Efi TH YORK EAST END ' ONE YOU WANT ��aqria [post New al Send $15 cheque, money order or VISA number (plus expiry date) to: Watson Publishing Company Limited 150 Milner Ave., Unit 35 Scarborough, Ont.M1S 3R3� ' Name' Address This is Herbie and he's one of the luck` ones from the Toronto Humane Socie- ty as he was just adopted.

ON RF CORD: I Will Cure You Vic Reeves ( Island ) is describ- ed in the promo notes -'as the missing link between Arthur Askey and Bruce Springsteen". The reference is intended to a mild physical resemblance that Mr. Reeves bears to the late, beloved British comedian and a distant vocal approximation of The Boss. A reasonably good alb im it is. Our keen ear hears Vic Reeves as a cross bet- ween a young Cliff Richards and Harry Car - luck Jr. The orchestrations are a meslange of Coon - Sanders, Sauter -Finnegan and James Last in his Hair period. Hey, we can be as obtuse direct as the best of them! Will you enjoy I Will Cure You? We think so. The single caveat would be that one approaches with in- terest in content and not simple curiosity. Vic Reeves isn't a Brit Weird Al Yancovic. Well, maybe a comic Des O'Connor. But then, Mr. O'Connor wouldn't ever do a bop ver- sion of Abide With Me. He'd recall what happened to Cab Calloway when he swung The Old Rugged Cross. GOOD TIMF_S: Ontario Place has resum- ed its Tuesday Tea Dances for seniors.

Career -oriented mothers feel the guilt and worry of spending too little time with their children, and at the same time, wonder if they are being dedicated enough to their jobs. For these women, juggling career aspirations with family obligations is a daily challenge. This may lead to high levels of stress and cause problems in family life. It is especially vital for career - oriented mothers to maintain a sense of control over personal freedom while keeping the demands of job and family balanced. Try to ease stress build-up by taking a few simple preventative steps. Don't Be "Wonder Mom" Don't try to be Wonder Mom. Be open and honest with your family about your needs. if you carefully explain your reasons for working and the stress this sometimes produces. family members should begin to understand and pitch in. Divide the household chores: don't worry if the jobs are not done to your specifications. What's important is that it gets done so you have more time to relax. If everyday chores pile up. try initiating a family cleaning day once a math, and make it a team effort. Use the extra time you create to take care of yourself. Tell your f un- ify that you want some time on your awn to allulp yourself in an activity that has absolutely eothirg to do with your family and job responsi- bilities. Make a point of scheduling it info year weekly activities, even if it's just to read a book, relax in a bubble -both or sit in your favourite chair listening to music. Control Anger and Frustration Learn to control the anger and frustration that can sometimes overtake an otherwise normal day. A mere 10 minutes of brisk walking can help to boost your mood. One of the added benefits is that exercise makes you fell more in control. This is an important concept, because feeling you have no control is one of the major sources of stress for women. Another method of gaining control if you feel yourself becoming stressed is to take a few 'breathers: Breathe in deeply for a count of five, Induction Ceremony June 21st. The Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held on Sun. June 21st at the On- tario Agricultural Museum in Milton. The ceremony honours those who have contributed to the development of agriculture and they are featured permanently in the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame Gallery.

By Dr. Richard Earle hold the air in your lungs for a count of five, then slowly let it out. As your muscles begin to relax, your level of emotional stress is reduced. Try this technique on your route home. By the time you walk through the from door, the stress from your work day will be lessened. To enhance the relaxation effect of these deep breathing exercises, visualize yourself doing something you enjoy or are planning to do. Set Priorities decide what must be done today and leave the rest until tomorrow or another day. This often helps to eliminate pressure caused by the belief that every job must be done immediately. Taking care of yourself, in a common-sense way, is also a key to reducing stress. Don't rob yourself of much-needed sleep to fit in another hour of housework or work from the office. It can wait. Chronic lack of sleep lessens your weakened in individuals who habitually don't get enough sleep. The more you learn about stress and its effects on families, the better equipped you are to recognize your own stress triggers. You may be thinking that you don't have the time to study this subject. Taking a few minutes each day to discover what triggers your stress and finding workable preventative steps can make your life easier to manage.

Business Community News Durham Region Manufacturers Looking For World Wide Ventures "Profits Through Joint Venturing in Durham Region" book featuring over 8o Durham manufac- turers looking for joint ven- tures will be distributed world wide" stated Mr. Patrick Olive, Commis- sioner, Economic Develop- ment. Durham Region. "For over 6 months, a research team has been ac- tively canvassing manufacturers in 4 in- dustrial groupings (7 sec- tors) to find those in- terested in some type of joint venturing. It wasn't an easy task. Joint Venturing is more common in Europe than North America and to many of our Durham firms, the idea and advan- tages of a joint business venture was a new and sometimes disturbing thought - It Itook patience, perseverance and a lot of time to personally contact all firms in the 7 industrial sectors covered to date. This is an ongoing program and new sectors will be contacted in the near future for inchssion in this exciting and potentially profitable program... The loose-leaf 'Profits Through Joint Venturing' book has three sections, Durham Profile, Company Profiles and Response Sheets. As the book will be distributed to all of Canada's trade offices abroad, Ontario Goverw ment offices both local and foreign plus some forrign commercial offices located in Canada. the book had to sell Durham Region as a good industrial area, pro- vide meaningful data on all of the featured manufac- turers and provide a means of communication between our government contacts and either the Economic Development Department of Durham or the manufac- turers directly. The data base on the manufacturers was receiv- ed from completed survey forms sent to firms in the following sectors- Autoparts and Auto Manufacturing, Health Care and Phar- maceuticals, Aerospace Defence Com- munications and Plastics, Packaging. The survey form mailed to over 200 firms was coor dinated by Jos. Mon- tgomery Consultants after many meetings with the Durham Region Manufac- turers' Association, both Ontario and Federal government officials, Durham College represen- tatives and the local Canada Employment and Immigration office. The survey form asked for the type of information required by our foreign commercial offices in their constant search for business opportunities for Canadian firms. This book is a first! It includes vital information on over 80 Durham firms and will sell Durham worldwide on a continuous basis. As other industrial sec- tors in Durham are surveyed, new information sheets will be printed and distributed to recipients of the Durham book. Every time this happens, Durham's name will be advertised to over 200 government contacts around the world. ' `The success of this pro- gram was a result of out- side financial support from the Canada Employment and Immigration Depart- ment with Durham College coordinating the necessary training of the Special Pro- ject team required for this project and our thanks to both organizations for their support and faith, ^ con- cluded Patrick Olive. First ISTS High Speed Data Recorder Shipped The first commercial shipment of the new ISTS S high- speed data recorder is set for the beginning of the second quarter of this year. in development for about five years. the data recorder is the first commercial technology - transfer product from the Institute for Space and Ter- restrial Science I ISTS ). based in :North York. The S2 is designed and manufactured by the ISTS Space Geodynamics Laboratory, headed by Dr. Wayne Cannon. The ISTS SLI Recorder "v, as it's technrcalh• known, is uniquely suited for high-speed. high -de city wideband data recording and reproduction• with data rates ranging from 16 Nib s ( all hours of record time) to 18 Mb s 15 burs of record time). Designed for radio astronomy. the S_" has highly -modular, open architecture intended to support a wide range of application,. The 5:1 will first see service at the new Australia Telescope National Facility � ATNF 1. currently under con- struction at Narrabri. Australia. and at the other antennas of the new Australian %•LBI 1 Very Long Baseline In- terferometer � array. A VLBi array is, in fact, a huge radio telescope with a diameter equal to the distances between each radio observatory in the network. Because of its ex- traordinary size, a VLBI array is capable of generating very high resolution images of radio sources. An optical telescope with this kind of resolution could resolve a grapefruit on the surface of the moors, or allow an observer to stand in Vancouver and read a newspaper in St. John's. The Australian VLBI is a seven -station interferometer ar- ray extending across the Australian subcontinent. The ATNF may order up to eight SY recorder arrays, the ISTS was selected over strong competition from both the United States and Japan. —The S2 actually sells itself," said Dr. Wayne Cannon, head of the ISTS SGL Laboratory. "It is the most cost- effective VLBI data recording system by a long shot, in terms of both purchase price and operating costs. Its low media costs average about 56 cents per gigabyte." The Australian facility will begin examination of the Southern Hemisphere sky, to this point a largely unex- plored region of our galaxy. Researchers will use the ATNF to explore - among other things - such objects as quasars, located at the edge of the known universe, at distances up to 7 billion light years away. The ISTS S2 will record the large amounts of data necessary for analysis. The ISTS Space Geodynamics Laboratory has also received orders for two S'l recorders from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA)• for use in the international RadioAstron project, led by the Astro Space Centre in Russia. The S2 has also been recognized as an international VLBI standard by the Japanese radio astronomy communi- ty, and has prompted commercial interest from Japanese organizations, and other countries in the Far East and Europe. Future development of the S2 may see the beginnings of a domestic Canadian magnetic recording technology, and related industry. Wed.

Montserrat Where Business And Pleasure Can Mix How does a nice Nova Scotia company that manufactures egg cartons and paper Oates end up running a hotel on the Caribbean island of Mont- serrat' That's exactly the question that John Jodrey. the Chairman of Scotia In- vestments and son of RA_ Jodrey in Hantsport, Nova Scotia asks himself. ..It's just one of those unusual connections where an introductory holiday on Montserrat in the 1960's and a gradual buyout of a company listed on the Stock Exchange had paths that crossed," explained Mr. Jodrey. Scotia Investments is the parent of six operating companies employing 3,000 people in the Maritimes, Ontario and British Colum- bia. The companies manufacture a wide array of products including paper corrugated containers, egg cartons, Chi -net plates, pulp and paper foam food containers, bakery pro- ducts, canned and frozen vegetables. In the early 1960's Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Jodrey and their two daughters took a well-deserved vacation visiting seven different Caribbean islands. Mont- serrat was the island that impressed the family the most. Apart from the coun- try's lush green scenery, Montserrat was one of the few islands that had its own supply of fresh drinking water. Fed by natural spr- ings from the mountains. Montserrat continues to supply fresh water not only for its own residents. but also exports to neighbour- ing islands. On his return to Canada. Mr. Jodrey mentioned the wonderful holiday he'd had on Montserrat to his stockbroker. The broker meanwhile learned of a company, West Indies Plantations Ltd. that was trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The com- pany had attempted a tomato paste manufactur- ing operation in Montser- rat, but had wound up as a land developer with exten- sive land holdings in Mont- serrat. Gradually Mr. Jodrey became a major shareholder. One of West Indies Plantations' proper- ties was a grand estate villa known as Olveston House. The seven bedroom villa was sold in the early 1980's to George Martin, the former Beatles manager, who used it to house visiting celebrities that have come to record albums at his Air Studios. With money from the sale. Mr. Jodrey decided to purchase the seventeen room Emerald Isle Hotel and rename it the Montser- rat Springs Hotel. He com- pletely refurbished the pro- perty and added additional rooms to make a total of 46 Wed. June 10, 1992 THE NEWS/POST Page u Heritage Waterways Open For Navigation The 1992 navigation season for the Rideau Canal and Trent -Severn Waterway, both historic canals operated by the Canadian Parks Service began May 15th. The two systems allow boaters to travel from Ot- tawa to Kingston and from Trenton to Port Severn on the shores of Georgian Bay. The lakes and rivers in between offer some of the best vacation havens in Central and Eastern On- tario. This year, the Rideau Canal celebrated its 160th consecutive year of naviga- tion on Sun. May 17th. Originally built by British military engineers, the Rideau Canal is now a recreational waterway en- joyed by over 2-1 i 2 million visitors annually. The history surrounding the construction and operation of Canada's oldest operating 19th century canal is preserved throughout the Rideau. Lockstaff still manually operate most of the locks while canal interpreters br- ing history alive with inter- pretive programs at several lockstations. A trip through the Rideau Canal's 202 km length takes ap- proximately 5 days. The Rideau Canal operates for navigation un- til Oct. 14th this year. Vessel operators should take note, however, of the early Sept. 13th, 4:30 p.m. closure of Ottawa Locks due to reconstruction ac- tivities for the remainder of the nagivation season. Construction of the Trent -Severn Waterwav began in 1833 although the system was not open to through navigation until 1920. It boasts several engineering marvels in- cluding a marine railway at Big Chute and the historic Peterborough Lift Lock. the world's highest hydraulic lift lock, now operating for its 88th navigation season.

Hotel Manager. Charles Roberts was equally im- pressed with Montserrat. The island is far more laid back and relaxed com- pared to other interna- tional hotels I had waked with. The people are so friendly and welcoming. One thankful reprieve was uniforms with jacket and tie being a thing of the past," continued Mr. Roberts. Normal hotel re- quirements of extensive fencing and security measures were also not re- quired and therefore saved on overall construction costs. Today, the Montserrat Springs continues to thrive. "Our hope is to make a real success of this property. Besides it will make a nice spot to retire to later on in life,.. finished Mr. Jodrey.

Marie Canal will remain closed to navigation for the season due to structural damage that occurred in July 1967. Overnight mooring and camping permits are available on a daily basis for boaters staying at lockstations along the Rideau and Trent -Severn canals. A 10% seniors discount on all daily, six-day and season lockage permits regardless of boat length Will be available in 1992. The 10% discount level is similar to what seniors ex- pect from many retail and service industries. The dis- count represents a new benefit for most seniors. The general availability of the previously offered lockage fee exemption for seniors who own vessels of 5.5mi or less in length will be discontinued. The ex- emption represented a significant value for those who have received it, therefore seniors who were previously eligible (ie. those born in 1926 or before and with a vessel of 5.5m or less) will be "grand- fathered" to preserve their access to the exemption.

N: a cLome the ch tnge of sca..,r., not only so that we can be outside. but so that we can have a change of diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables abound• and our meals take om a lighter stv le.

New Zealand Spring Lamb is naturall a tender meat: so it requires little time doing other things while the warm weather is here. Cuts like the boneless leg and loin are especially quick to cook in all manner of ways. But most important of alL the coals enhance Iamb's sweet flavour. Try these two easy rec- ipes.

Finding a job, travelling around the country, and com- municating with others are things most of us take for granted. But for people with disabilities, huge barriers stand in the way of simple pleasures like these, and living their lives like everyone else is a distinct challenge. People with disabilities have incredible talents, energies and abilities, and we must break down the barriers that prevent them from taking full advantage of the wonderful things our country has to offer. So far, we have made great progress in helping the 3.3 million Canadians with disabilities. We changed the tax system to make it fairer: we started National Access Awareness Week, and we improved employment and education opportunities. Recently, we introduced a new bill that changes different laws to make them sensitive to the needs of Canadians with disabilities. 'lois bill: Changes the Elections Act to make if easier for people with disabilities to vote. Getting to poll stations will be easier. and mobile polling stations will be used so people in institutions can vote too. The Citizenship Act will be changed so people with disabilities have equal access to Canadian citizenship: changes to the National Transportation Act will make travel by planes, trains and busses more accessible and bassle-free Amendments to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act will ensure government records and personal infar mabi n are accessible to people with sensory disabilities. The Criminal Code will be arnetded so someone with a disability can give evidence in a sexual assault case from behind a screen or outside the courtroom if seeing the ac- cused would prevent free testimony. Proposals by the disabled cornmtwty are being reviewed to assure that the justice system gives equal treatment to all Canadians. June 1 to June 7, ISM is National Access Awareness Week. It's the time for all Canadians to take actino to im- prove access to everything our communities have to offer. Canada is a country of freedom and opportunity -the best place in the w orid to five. We must make sure that nothing stops people with disabilities from enjoying the numerous benefits of hiving in Canada. Ptace tat+obs on greased grill over medium heat.
