Miller is reborn

By SCOTT WHITE
TORONTO (CP) — Like the phoenix that rose from
the ashes, Frank Miller has mastered the art of rebirth.
Before he became Ontario's 19th premier in January,
Miller had twice recovered from life-thi ing illnesses

became inaccessible, although this changed as the
campaign went on.

It’s a different Frank Miller on the election trail, a
slightly refined version of the 57-year-old former

— jaundice in 1966 and a heart attack in 1976 when he
was health minister,

And since entering the public service in 1967, Miller
has run up against several roadblocks that could have
spelled his political death — an unsuccessful attempt to
become mayor of his home town of Bracebridge; public
outrage at his attempt in the mid-1970s to shut down
small, inefficient hospitals; the diseovery of part of his
provincial budget in the garbage of a Toronto printing
plant in 1983; and his decision later that year to rule out a
bid for the leadership of the Ontario Conservatives when
William Davis eventually decided to step down.

BATTLED BACK

But Miller, whose infectious grin and bushy

eyebrows have become favorite subjects for

of the Bracebridge Rotary Club who has been
known to utter the occasional ribald remark.

Like this time, standing before a poster of a giant
eyeball as he spoke to a gathering of ophthalmologists, he
remarked: “I'm glad this isn't a gynecologist convention.”

When Miller edged Treasurer Larry Grossman at
the Tory leadership convention in January, many
delegates said they backed Miller because he wasn't a
career politician but someone who knew how to meet a
payroll.

CAN PaY BILLS
“I came up the hard way,” Miller has been telling the
voters. “I know what it was like not to be able to pay the
bills.”
Miller can pay the bills now. He's a self-made

cartoonists, always battled back with a tenacity that
earned him a reputation as a fighter.

So it's ironic that one of the biggest issues in the
campaign for the May 2 Ontario election is — to put it
delicately — the premier’s courage.

At every campaign stop, Miller's opponents —
Liberal Leader David Peterson and Bob Rae of the New
Democrats — ask their audiences why Miller has refused
to take part in a televised debate. “What is he afraid of?”
they ask. “Why is he hiding?”

Miller replied he abhors the “artificial” setting of a
television studio and his real job as leader of the
governing Tories is to get out and meet'the people.

Sharing approaches that work

A‘COCOON?

But it wasn’t until the third week of the 37-day
campaign that Miller did, in fact, start meeting the people
on the streets. Before that, Miller seldom ventured from
his “Tory blue cocoon” — as his election bus has been
dubbed by the opposition — except to speak to strictly
controlled gatherings of Conservative supporters.

— the of years of hard work.

As the young son of a poor widow, Miller washed
dishes to earn enough money to study engineering at
Montreal's McGill University. Miller is bilingual as are
the NDP and Liberal leaders.

After stints as a chemical engineer, a teacher, a car
salesman and operator of an amusement park called
Santa's Village, Miller bought a tourist lodge in Brace-
bridge — an idyllic community of 9,000 in the heart of
Muskoka, Ontario's cottage country of lakes and rivers
150 kilometres north of Toronto.

“If you can make money merchandising Santa Claus
in July, you've got something going for you,” says John
Atkin, former president of the Muskoka Liberal riding
association who once asked Miller to run as a candidate
for the Grits.

Off-hours, the premier is quietly but not obsessively
— his home number has always been publicly listed —
private. He enjoys skiing and other outdoor pursuits with
his wife, Ann, his four grown children and their families.

Ann Miller has always preferred to remain a
