By SAL BOMMARITO Special to the Beaver n upbeat and emotional k Ontario _ Progressive E SA Conservative Party leader, Mike Harris, predicted a victory in the next provincial election during a brief stopover in Oakville, Tuesday night. "We‘re getting over 50% of the vote in byâ€"elections and we will in the next general election as well," said Harris. Ontario PC leader sees victory on the horizon Harris, on a threeâ€"week, 20â€"city tour, made the prediction before about 100 PC party faithful on hand for the nomination of Oakville South MPP Gary Carr. In making the prediction, Harris shrugged off results of the latest popularity poll which showed the provincial Liberal Party with a commanding lead. Harris said the Liberals â€" along with the New Democratic Party â€" stand for the "status quo." "That‘s why we‘ve launched the Common Sense Revolution. The status quo is unacceptable. We need change to get us back on top in this province." § He slammed both the Liberals yram0 A AUIC SALVAGE $35.00 plus tax for Allâ€"Youâ€"Canâ€"Carty in your hands starting Saturday, May 7/94 * QOver 250 Cars of All Makes And Models e Low Prices e Quality Parts BRING YOUR OWN TOOLS BUY and SELL Late Model Rebuildable Cars Light Trucks WRECKING COâ€" Harris said the PC Party would create 725,000 new private sector jobs by putting $6â€"billion from government spending and reducing personal income tax by $4â€"billion. and the NDP for squandering taxâ€" payers‘ money and placing govâ€" ernment roadblocks in front of business. "In other jurisdictions, they‘re rolling out the red carpet. In Ontario, we‘re rolling out the red tape." The PC Party plan calls for the elimination of 13,000 public sector jobs and a crackdown on welfare and workers‘ benefits abuse. "We must restructure and streamline the public sector and we will start with MPPs, along with regional and county governâ€" ments, school boards, agencies, and commissions. We‘re the most overâ€"governed province in the country." Economic growth would be stimulated through the negotiation of bilateral trade deals with other provinces similar to the one recently signed by the premiers of Ontario and Quebec, Harris said. The PC leader promised to abolish the payroll health tax for plus taxes small businesses, repeal Bill 40, the NDP‘s controversial labor reform, and freeze hydro rates for five years. The net results of the economic reforms would be a balanced budâ€" get within four years and reduced taxes and deficit reduction within five years, Harris said. Harris expects the reforms to be labeled as radical by "vested interâ€" ests and critics." But the critics can only offer more empty promises. There comes a time in all of our lives when our family leaves home and the house that once seemed too small suddenâ€" ly becomes too big. When sizâ€" ing down many seniors choose a townhouse or condominium as an alternative. But then there comes a time when seniors desire more from their home than just low maintenance livâ€" ing. This is especially true if an individual is living alone and looking for more social interacâ€" tion than is provided in a conâ€" dominium environment. Yet many people are not familiar with the excellent alternative of a fullâ€"service retirement resiâ€" Residing in a fullâ€"service retirement residence, seniors enjoy the comfort of their own private and spacious suite while enjoying the many serâ€" vices, amenities and companâ€" ionship that they offer. Surprising to most seniors who make the move to a more careâ€" free environment, this new lifestyle automatically brings a fresh perspective. One company leading the way in this field is International Care. In 1987 they completed their first retirement residence in Coquitlam and over the next seven years began operating additional projects in Victoria and White Rock, British Columbia. _ Recently _ the Company acquired a residence in Winnipeg and are currently completing the construction of their flagship residence in downtown Oakville. dence.

"That criticism is Politics as usual without any alternatives and that‘s what people are fed up with." Following the Harris speech, Carr said the PC plan offers voters an alternative. "The message Harris is carryâ€" ing is what we‘ve heard from the people of Ontario for the last four years. We don‘t fear the next elecâ€" tion. We‘re looking forward to it," said Carr.

Many of the suites feature balâ€" conies with wonderful views of Lake Ontario, downtown Oakville and the beautifully landscaped courtyard. There are a wide choice of one and two bedroom suites, as well as studio apartments. Also providâ€" ed is full dining service; use of all the inâ€"house common faciliâ€" ties which include a well stocked library, fireside lounge, hobby and exercise room and much more. Even the most active and energetic seniors find that moving to and living in a retirement residence like The Kensington is a welcome change. The monotonous chores are taken care of and residents are free to enjoy the life that they have worked and strived for. Each resident has their own personal reasons for moving to The Kensington. For some, the tedious tasks of shopping for groceries and cleaning, or transportation from one destiâ€" nation to another has become too difficult. As one resident comments, "a retirement resiâ€" dence is the last place I thought I‘d be because I thought I was too young. But moving here was one of the best decisions I‘ve ever made in my life and I should have done it sooner." But what is it about these serâ€" vices and amenities that make "I‘ve never seen a place where people are so friendly." says Mrs. Clement. International Care‘s residences such an excellent alternative? "Why it‘s their staff and level of service," says Mrs. Craig. ‘"‘They bend over backwards... and they treat you like family." While almost all new retireâ€" ment residences can boast of "fine dining", "spacious suites" and "beautiful gardens", it is the attitude of the staff and the residents â€" the feeling you get when you enter a building owned by International Care Corporation that sets this comâ€" pany apart from the others. Every staff member works together to provide quality serâ€" vice and contribute to the secuâ€" rity and warmth of the resiâ€" dence. "Our number one priorâ€" ity is to provide for the wellâ€" being and enjoyment of our residents," says Joe Redmond, President of International Care. "If the seniors‘ needs are not met, we‘re not doing our job as individuals or as a company‘"‘. As Diane Sepa, who has helped many seniors happily settle in both Bestview and now The Kensington since 1990 says, " it is great to see our residents enjoying each day, inviting friends to visit and then introducing us as part of one big family. It takes special residents and staff to make a "house a home" and I feel we have captured that."
