Steeles Ave. Pickering Council is trying to pressure Metro Toronto Council into widening Steeles Ave. to pin the widened Taunton Road for better traffic movement between Metro Toronto and the Region of Durham. For a couple of years Durham Region Council widened Taunton Rd. but Metro Toronto only talked about widening their Steeles Ave. which joins Taunton Rd. at the boundary between two regions. The two lane Steeles Ave. has a steady flow of Pickering area cars flowing westwards every working day and the movement is very slow because a four lane road is necessary to handle the flow. Metro Toronto has discussed this widening since 1990 but no action seems to be imminent, but pressure from Durham Region may face a decision.

Your position now appears to be the same as fir. Ferguson's in that you think of the sewage disposal levy as a tax and is to be thought of in the same way as the property tax and the use that tax is put to. %%ben :Metro Council derided to cover the sewage disposal costs by adding to the charge for water to the constituent municipalities of Metro Toronto it changed it from a tax levy to a charge for a service. This involves the principle of quid pro quo. In other words the municipal utilities are in business - the business of selling water and electricity. If you want more electricity you pay more. Scarborough Public Utilities presently bills me for my use of electricity. my consumption of eater and presumed use of a sewage system. The amounts for electneity and water vary from month to month based on use. For those who are not connected to the sewage system they are re- quired to pay for a service they do not receive and pay for it as a proportion of their water bill. This is equivalent to the Bell Telephone deciding to pro- vide a T%' cable service and charge all Bell customers for the service regardless whether they want to use it or rot and calculate the charge on the basis of the telephone usage. The CRTC would jump on that in no time at all. Why" Simply because it would be fraudulent. I have suggested a simple remedy to this injustice. A municipal public utility would forward to Metro a list of all properties not using sewers and the amount they were charged for sewage and Metro would then once a year remit the overcharge to those property owners. This problem is not one for the City of Scarborough or the Public Utilities of Scarborough to correct, unless they make the same calculation outlined above and remit the over- charge to the property owner and then bill Metro for the total of those remittances. The remittance followed above should in no way relate to whether the property is sewered but the sewer is not con- nected, the property is about to be sewered or the property is unlikely to ever be severed. It is to correct a wrong. The wrong being that you are forcing people to pay for a service Te News From Ottawa from Dan McTeague MP Ontario Riding The GST On Reading Material Before Committee in keeping with his election campaign position against the GST on reading materials. Dan McTeague. M.P.. Ontario Riding, participated in a meeting of the House of Commons Finance Committee currently studying alternatives to the GST. Appearing as witnesses before the Committee was the Don't Tax Reading Coalition. "1 have been categorically against the application of the GST on reading for some time and I am pleased the Don't Tax Reading Coalition was able to appear before the Finance Committee during its inquiry into GST alternatives." said McTeague. "As 1 said at the Committee, the real problem in terms of access to education is that while we talk about formalized training. many people do use books to improve their skills and broaden their horizons in order to be better qualified for job opportunities." added McTeague. "The costs of books are expensive enough without the added burden of the GST. Instead of taxing reading materials. we should he encouraging reading and encouraging individuals who are trying to better themselves. Taxing reading materials thwarts the ability for these people to get information to assist them in obtaining a job. Furthermore. a tax on reading materials is contrary to what we. as a government, want to do to assist individuals in becoming employable." said McTeague. "I crhmmend the Don't Tax Reading Coalition for their fight to have the GST removed from books and for taking the initiative to appear before this important Committee. I believe books do indeed rate and there should be no tax on reading. As a member of the governing party. 1 will continue to work to ensure that whatever alternative is selected for the GST. it will not tax reading materials." concluded McTeaeue Debate On Electoral Boundaries Dan McTeague, M.P. Ontario riding. took part in the debate on Ball C-18: An Act to Suspend the Operation of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act in the House of C'ornmons; on Mar. 24th. "1 believe the addition of more seats in the House of Com- mons is unnecessary Riven the expense associated with ad- ding more M.P.'s and the demand by Canadians that Parliament first get its fiscal hotee in order," said McTeague. "1 represent a riding with WS.1Mf11 constituents and this figure is very large in comparison to other ridings in Canada. That is why, while 1 do not supprt adding more seats. I believe there should be a better distribution of con- stituents within existing ridings.- added McTeague. "ln addition• under the proposed electoral boundary readjustments, Ontario Riding would undergo a significant transformation. A new riding of Ajax -Pickering would be created along with a redesigned Ontario Riding. Not only would two new ndings be created, it would be done in a way which would cut the Town of Ajax in half without any regard to preserving the town's historic and community identity. You cannot simply draw a line through a town the size of Ajax without disturbing the homogenous character and local identity of the community.** said McTeague. Canadians want better representation and fiscal respon- sibility not more representatives and ridings. Mie do not need more seats, we need a better distribution of the populations in the seats we have now. That is why I support Bill C-18 and its suspension of the proposed new electoral boundaries. i look forw•ad to participating with the commit- tee being considered to examine this issue in further details and I hope it will bring forward an alternative to the present system which simply adds more seats after every census rather than saving money and providing a system of representation which better serves Canadians,— concluded McTeague. they do not use. 94r. Rutherford has argued that everyone in Metro benefits from the sewage system and therefore everyone should pay a share. If this is the basic principle then the sewage system expense should have continued to be covered by the Metro property taxes. The fact that Metro made this change suggests that it was done simply to give the impression that the property tax rates would be lower than they otherwise would be. Sincerely yours. W. H.

"It's your mess. You clean it up," Mayor Joyce Trimmer told federal and provincial government representatives during a meeting of the Ad- ministrative and Finance Committee. The committee was con- sidering a report from the Malvern Remedial Project Steering Committee, which proposes to move con- taminated soil from Mc- Clure Cres. and McLevin Ave. to a temporary site in the Tapscott industrial area. A permanent disposal site is yet to be found. Brad Franklin, a Federal Government Senior Public Affairs Officer, said in an interview that a radioac- tive paint was used to pro- duce luminous dials for air- craft during the 1940's. Later it was used on wat- ches and clocks. In 1945, the National Research Council and the RCMP investigated a Scar- borough farm where ar- tifacts were being burned to leech out the radium. The material was reported- ly spread on the fields to make the crops grow faster. While no further action was taken at the time. a report advised further study if development of the lands was ever proposed. Franklin said. But the report had been forgotten when the lands were finally developed in the 1970's. Two journalism students discovered the report in 1960, and testing with ad- vanced technology reveal- ed radioactive material at 48 houses on McClure Cres. Further contamination was later discovered on McLevin Ave., where material had apparently been dumped. A solution has centred around the temporary relocation of the contaminated soil in Scar- borough, Franklin said, because none of the municipalities around Metro wanted it. Geraldine Underdown of National Resources Canada told the A. do R. committee that the Tapscott site is appropriate and there is no reason for concern. Steven Buckley of the M. R. P.'s Public Liaison Committee said he was satisfied that the concerns of the people in the Tapscott area had been heard. Gordon Laschinger, Ontario co-chair, acknowledged that everyone was not happy with the proposed site but said it was a fair com- promise- Speaking in support of the project, lawyer Jim Harbell said a display in the Malvern Town Centre had attracted 200 signatures in favour of the recommendations. Forms were available for anyone in opposition, but none were received. he said. However, one woman in the audience said she hadn't seen the booth or she would have signed against. "I feel you get the one side - the government side," she said. "This area (Tapscott in- dustrial community) is the future of Scarborough. I in- vite you to protect it," said Yvonne Hamlin, a lawyer representing the Coalition Against a Radioactive Tapscott. "Nobody believes that it's not going to leak. Nobody trusts anyone on this issue." Hamlin said money could be saved by moving the radioactive material directly to a permanent site in Utah. The material originally came from the U.S., she said, and with "some low level politics," the Utah installation could be talked into taking it. But Franklin said the op- tion had been explored and they didn't want it in Utah. "Some of it obviously came from the U.S. but some of it came from Canada," he said. Mickey Snow, the owner of two parcels of land adja- c-ent to the proposed Tapscott site, said "I believe it wowd result in the contamination of my land.., Councillors Marilyn Mushinski and Sherene Shaw agreed that the mat- ter was not within the qty's jurisdiction. Councillor Ron Watson said the city had felt corri- passionate, because the problem was within its boundaries. "Scarborough Metro Separate School News Wed.

Restructure Employees At Centenary Centenary Health Centre has annowiced the layoff of five of its management staff. 26 voluntary exits by staff. and another 33 ,jobs that will have been im- pacted as a result of the first phase of restructuring initiatives at the hospital. Faced with a potential deficit of $2.7 million for the 1994-95 fiscal year. the hospital has reorganized patient care delivery in order to maintain quality service within the current funding restraints. The restructuring in- volves a move to Program Management which defines five patient care group- ings: Geriatric Rehabilita- tion; Medicine, Mental Health, Surgery; Maternal and Child Services. Follow- ing closely, with a planned spring implementation date, is Patient Focused Care, a unit -based ap- proach to care delivery. In both cases the decen- tralization of hospital ser- vices will result in job redundancies, primarily in management positions. Centenary Health Centre is a 500 bed community hospital in Scarborough caring for over 250,000 pa- tients annually on an in - and outpatient basis, and employing nearly 2,000 staff.

W.D. Westwater City Clerk will CITY OF SCARBOROUGH • ONTARIO OW Page to THE NEWS POST Wed. April 13. 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds TORONTO: Dazzling should not be the word to describe an opera performance but it's the best, indeed the only. one we can find for the Canadian Opera Company's current produc- tion of La Traviata at The O'Keefe. The set design - mirrored planes married to tradi- tional props - by John Ferguson is dazzling. The costumes of John Pen- noyer, especially in the first and second act ballroom scenes, are dazzl- ing. The lighting design of Michael Whitfield is dazzl- ing in its artistry and technique. And. those are only the visual effects. The prime focus of an opera must be the presen- tation of its music and here too, the operative descrip- tive must be, dazzling. Nominally, there are three principal roles but The Col- umn dares not mention less than four and their inter- preters. Mezzo soprano Tania Parrish is Flora, friend of Violetta. Though the character is supposed to be an empty one. Miss Parrish displays the warm affec- tion of a true friend and gives the role a depth rare- ly realized. And, of course. she's dazzling to see as well as hear. Baritone Sigmund Cowan as Alfredo's father is a distinguished and courtly man of affairs torn bet- ween basic humanity and the exigencies of social codes. In character he is not dazzling but when be gives voice to it, he dazzles the ear with the emotions he wrings from his sonorous figures. Tenor Stephen Mark Brown as Alfredo'. The pro- -�� Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide blem facing anyone in this role is similar to that of playing Pinkerton. Both characters are con- siderably less than sym- pathetic, both are fun- damental twits. One sup- poses the highest compli- ment to be paid is that the character is dazzling in its stupidity and Mr. Brown's portraval of same almost overshadows his superb singing voice. As Violetta, there is no highest compliment that ,can be paid to soprano Gwynne Geyer. There is no adequate superlative to describe the purity of her voice, none to convey her characterization of a courtesan destroying herself by high living and ultimately destroyed by love. Scarborough Village P.S.

Situated oft Tapscott Road on Neilson Road and easily accessible from the 401 is the Malvern Medical Arts Building which houses the Malvern Medi cal Clinic on its main floor and a host of other medical services and practitioners. The clinic has 11 full-time doctors and is open every day of the week, 6.45 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. over weekends. Consulting on a once -weekly basis are three Psycho -Therapists, an Internist, a Pediatrician. a Neurologist, a Physiotrist and three Dermatologists. Five receptionists are on hand: the waiting rooms spacious. There is a support staff of 40. part and full-time representing nurses. clerks. secretaries and administrative staff. Founded some 19 years ago the Clinic now serves 51423 patients. Fellow 1973 graduates from the University of Toronto. Drs. R. Charyk, L. Lerner and M. Ingber, set up practice in a small strip plaza south of Sheppard Avenue at Lapsley Road in a largely rural. government owned area. A need for more space led them to build the Malvern Medical Arts Building which was opened by the Mayor of Scarborough in 1988, and which won the coveted Urban Design Award. The Malvern Medical Arts Building with 40.000 sq. feet houses a Rehabilitation Clinic. Laboratory. Pharmacy. and has facilities for Ultra Sound. Mammography. and X -Ray. There are Optomotrists. Dentists. Orthodontists. an Ear. Nose and Throat Specialist. a Rheumatologist. a General Surgeon. an Orthopaedic Surgeon. and Chiropodist. A Family Practioner, and a group of three female Physicians have their consulting rooms in this building. From their earliest involvement with the community the Clinic maintains its relationship with the Malvern Helping Professionals, and also sponsors both the Malvern Softball Team and the local Hockey Team One hesitates to suggest an absolute but there is no hesitation in writing that Miss Geyer's Violetta is the one against which all others must now be measured. Mention must be made of the orchestra under the direction of Jan Latham - Koenig. Verdi's score is as lush as his name and some. perhaps many. conductors allow it to soar to pathos ,and then descend into bathos. Mr. Latham- Koenig's direction is loving but firm and the score is delivered exactly right. Dazzling. One would like to con- tinue but we stand in danger of wearing out the Z key. Indulge us once more. however, in stating that this Traviata is, wait for it, DAZZLING' NORTH PORK: "A man's reach should exceed his grasp" comes to mind after seeing the Leah Prsluns Theatre's 30th an- niversary production of Fiddler On The Roof. It's an ambitious one and huge- ly enjoyable but there's something lacking: something that keeps it from being a triumph. Perhaps it was opening night jitters as manifested by missed cues. slow and inexpert scene changes. singers off key. actors literally stumbling. Perhaps it was choreography beyond the accomplishment of some of the dancers. Perhaps it was the struggle of the or- chestra to give full dynamic value to the score with a too small comple- ment. Perhaps it was the poor body miking- Yet. though not a triumph. this Fiddler is, we repeat, most enjoyable and is so because of a fine cast. The principal role. that of Tevye. was created by Zero Mostd, a former burlesque comedian who finally made it on Broadway. Since then it has been played by scores of others including the Israeli actor Topol in the motion picture and subsequently on tour. Reliable Gerry Salsberg is Tevye in this prodtrcti�n. Comparisons are odious, of course. but The Column en- joyed his performance more than that of the un- polished Mostel and too polished Topol. Mr. Salsberg's Topol seems to have immersed himself in- to the role so that he becomes the beleagured Dairyman trying to see his five daughters married properly and clinging tenaciously to the faith of his fathers. In fact, the only hint that it's Gerry Salsberg in the role is that twinkle in his eye. We've seen the gentleman in many roles over the years and have always enjoyed that twinkle but never more than in his playing of Tevye. There should be a Dora nomination here. The cast is large and our space is limited but among the players here are a few who should be mentioned. Deedee Langford as Tevye's wife Golde is pro- perly shrewish while still being a loving mother and, in her own reluctant way, a good wife. Jack Duffy. a long way removed from his Town Crier days is tastefully comedic as the elderly Rabbi and Frank Ruffo's athleticism is manifest whenever he's on stage even though his makeup and costuming make him appear as a tall Toulouse- Lautrec. Special praise too for Ra- quel Duffy as the daughter Hodel. She has a fine sweet voice to match her face and demeanour. Perhaps this Fiddler is a triumph after all. Or, close to it. CURTAIN CALL: Fiddler On The Roof is. of course, muchly concern- ed with the preservation of the faith and culture. With that in mind, your attention is directed to the Second Annual Toronto Jewish F -lm Festival taking place Apr. 28th to May 5th at the Bloor Cinema. We're especially an- ticipating East and West. an 85 minute silent film from Austria (1924) starr- ing a very young Molly Piton. OTTAWA: Our thoughts tonight will be in Government Haase. Ottawa where Walt Grealis is being invested as an of- ficer in the Order of Canada. He is the founder of the Juno Awards and sole owner and publisher of R. P. M. Weekly which he began 30 years ago. The rank of Officer recognizes national service or achievement and Walter most certainly deserves such recognition for all he has done for the Canadian recording industry. For our money, however. he should be accorded the rank of Companion for interna- tional performance. He has arguably done more than any other single person to advance the recognition of Canadian popular music abroad. Anyway. Walter will stand correctly military tonight to receive his award and afterwards will, we predict, indulge himself in one of his patented gen- tle smiles. Well done Walter. Wish we could be there. MISSI.S.SAL Gra: Mickey Rooney - yes, THE Mickey Rooney - opens tonight at Stage west in The Mind With The Naughty Man. Our review follows soonest. We were at the media conference to announce the engagement and were delighted to see the still mighty mite take on The Hulk and throw him. That's an inside reference that we can't resist. Of particular interest as well was Mr. Rooney's ad- vice that his antecedents were not Irish as we had supposed but rather, Scot- tish. His father was born in Edinburgh. The Mick's next motion picture is to be Bob, Son Of Battle, a remake of a film done originally by the late and now largely forgotten Scottish actor comedian Will Fvfe. (We're not even sure that we've spelled his name correctly). Why the particular in- terest for us" Will Fyfe was a regular at Downey's, the Glasgow theatre district saloon managed by our father and was a good friend of his. What gm -s 'round... MIRVISH VILLAGE: The Column continues to be i mpresbedl by the way in which Common Knowledge Books at 602 Markham St. markets its product.

Damme if we know what the other six are but Dr. Twyla promises to demonstrate them. These book launches at Common Knowledge are becoming increasingly popular so reservations are advisable. AROUND THE WORLD: Despite their steadily declining dollar. Canadians continue to travel outside the country in ever increas- ing numbers. (We suspect it's because they realize that this once blessed coun- try is going to Hell, more or less deservedly. in a hand - basket ). During a recent lucullan luncheon at the Inter - Continental Hotel we were introduced to the hotel chain's new Heart of the Ci- ty Summer Spectacular. This program guarantees significant savings at 43 deluxe Inter -Continental and first class Forum Hotels in 31 European cities from London to Moscow. All of the savings specials can't be listed but bere are two worthy of par- ticular interest. At the Hotel Inter -Continental in Madrid, savings of up to 49% are possible: at the Athenaeum Inter - Continental in Athens, they can run to 53%. Guaranteed' Incidentally, two of the major theatrical attrac- tions in Vienna are Elizabeth, a musical about the Austrian Empress and Livent's Kiss of the Spider Woman which premiered here in Toronto. The East Asia Travel Association welcomed us to its travel show in the Sheraton Centre and, as always, quite dazzled with fine food and excellent presentations by over 50 Pacific Asia countries, airlines. tour operators and hotels. From all of the delights listed in the E.A.T.A. Events and Fetivals manual space will allow us to mention only the follow- ing. If you were in Thailand right now, you'd be in the middle of the nationwide Songkran Festval of the Thai New Year: three days of merrymaking, religious ceremonies and public festivities. If you can be there on Dec. 5th, you can join in the celebrations of the King's Birthday. Among other visual pleasures are the decorations on government buildings, businesses and homes as well as the spec- tacular illumination of the Grand Palace and its grounds.

New Braunfels The whimsical and cherubic innocence of Hummel figurines have been a delight to millions the world over. Figurines that once were purchased for as little as a dollar, can now command upwards of $2o,000. To get a look at the world's largest collection of drawings by Sister M. I. Hummel, journey to New Braunfels to the Hummel Museum. Located in downtown New Braunfels, the museum has approx- imately 350 drawings that were the inspiration for the figurines. The paintings, pastels, and charcoal sket- ches were stored in Switzerland until they were moved to New Braunfels. The life and times of this compassionate and frail woman, who died at the young age of 37, is a testa- ment of strength and courage. In addition to the 350 drawings, paintings, and sketches, the museum has a wide variety of the famous figurines and plates for sale. For more information, contact the Hummel Museum, Inc., P.O.
