But the stranger to Canada. “I'm married to a Canadian from Winnipeg and I have relatives here in Toronto and Brantford,” Seymoure said at her posh hotel suite. She is in Toronto on a promotional tour for a line of fragrances. Her husband, David Flynn, is an entertainment business manager — “That's how we met" — and the couple lives in Santa Barbara, Calif., with their two children. Seymour, who trained as a ballet dancer in her native England before turning to acting at 17, also said she spends time when in Toronto with prima ballerina Karen Kain, whom she met in Holly wood. Seymour came to Toronto actress is no via Spain, where she is filming Maria Callas, a tele. vision mini-series about the tragic life of the Greek-Amer-. ipan opera singer. MARRIES KENNEDY The program focuses on her tempestuous relationship with shipping magnate Aris totle Onassis and her heart break when he married Jac. queline Kennedy. For her role as Callas, Seymour took singing les sons, even though it is Callas's voice that will be heard when the program is broadcast in the spring. “I think it's really inter. esting that a middle-aged woman who is known to have been one of the most beauti ful, elegant divas of all times, the greatest opera singer of all times, should fall in love for the first time,” said Sey- mour, “She was almost like a virgin. “And I find it interesting that a woman who is that much in control of her life ... . could be that emotionally destroyed by this man. A week before filming on Maria Callas be; Seymour was in England finishing yet another mini-series, The Woman He Loved — the story of Wallis Simpson and her marriage to the Duke of Windsor. Seymour plays the duchess through her mid-30s and 40s, as well as at the age of 74 for scenes showing her standing at the grave of her husband. Simpson, an American divor. cee, was obstracized by many members of the Royal Fam: ily, who were bitter that the duke abdicated the throne ta marry her. Seymour said her most personally moving part was as Natalie Jastrow in War and Remembrance Part 2, a mini-series to be shown late this year that was partly filmed at the site of Aus. chwitz, where millions of Jews died at the hands of Nazis. “It was reality, it was no longer drama,” she said. “I feel it was almost a cathartic experience.” Her Dutch mother, who lived in Indonesia during the Second World War, was im prisoned in a Japanese con centration camp, and her Jewish father lost many rel atives at ‘Bergen-Belsen, she said. Seymour is non-committal about her acting plans after Maria Callas. D...D DINING LOUNGE LICENCED DINING ROOM OPEN 4 P.M.

His Burnaby, B.

Quebee Tory MP Vincent Della Noce called Robinson's latest comment “another NDP cheap shot” and added: “Even my wife and my kids are upset at this guy.” Alberta Tory Jim Hawkes said “people should be given the benefit of the doubt rather than the benefit of slurs” and it's wrong to “cast aspersions” on a broad-class of people.

Main issues in the strike, which began Feb. 1, are wages, pension benefits and a severance package for 125 workers who lost their jobs with the permanent closure of the Syseo coke ovens.

Romanian coach defects CALGARY (CP) — A man identififed as the coach of the Romanian bobsled team at the 1988 Olympic Winter Games was placed in pro- tective custody after he re- fused to board a bus taking the 22-member team to the Calgary airport Monday night and sought refugee status in Canada. City police Supt. Len Esler said Tuesday the man ap- proached two police efficers at the athletes’ village at the University of Calgary about 9:30 p.m. and “requested political asylum.” He ‘was taken to a police station where immigration officers picked him up and placed him in protective cus- tody. Esler refused to say who the team official is or give his nationality “for this safety and the safety of his family.” But police and Olympic sources confirmed the man is Dumitru (DyDy) Foesen- eanu, who was listed as the Romanian bobsled coach staying at the Olympic vil- lage. Focseneanu was in Calgary last December as the team's eoach during World Cup competition. The Romanian Embassy in Ottawa refused comment on the situation. Wilf Lindner, manager of the Calgary immigration centre, said Tuesday the man had not yet formally applied for refugee status and will be given two or three days “to reflect on his position with- out undue pressure” before his identity will be revealed. He said the man can still Kelowna can't afford regatta riot bill KELOWNA, B.C. (CP) — The fate of the annual summer regatta looks “fairly grim” as the city wonders who will pay the $200,000 policing bill to prevent another riot, Ald. Dale Ham- ill said Tuesday. “We may have a year off with regatta unless we hear some startling results,” said Hemill, co-chairman of a committee struck to imple- ment charges after a riot in this Okanagan city last sum: mer. The British Columbia gov- ernment will be asked to pay half the policing costs, said Kelowna Mayor Jim Stuart. “We feel we have justified cause in this instance to ask the government to help us save this summer festival,” Stuart said after a council meeting Monday. If the province wants to promote tourism, he said, it can't afford to let summer festivals such as the Kelowna Regatta die. Kelowna RCMP Sgt. Gra- ham George said $200,000 is needed to cover salaries, transportation, and accom- modation for an undisclosed number of extra officers during the event scheduled for July 21-24. More than 1,000 rioters smashed windows and threw bottles at police during the Soviet crash kills twenty MOSCOW (Reuter) — Twenty people died when a Soviet passenger plane crashed on landing at the West Siberian oil city of Sur- gut, the Moscow News re- ported today. . In a report from the area, the weekly newspaper quoted the chief doctor of the hospital in the regional capi- tal of Tyumen as saying 13 people rescued from the erash were still in critical condition. The crash occurred Sat- urday as the TU-134 jet was coming in to land after a flight from Minsky, capital of Soviet Byelorussia. The tail of the aircraft caught fire as it- touched down, and many of the pas- sengers were overcome by fumes, Moscow News said. The newspaper said doc- tors from Moscow, Kiev and Siberian cities were flown in with special medical equip- ment to help treat the. sur- vivors because the Surgut hospital was under-equipped. regatta last July, causing an estimated $300,000 in dam- age and extra policing costs. A similar riot occurred at the 1986 regatta. But municipal councillors in this resort city say $200,000 may be too high a price to pay, and wonder how extra police will change the festival's character. Last Wednesday, Stuart met in Vancouver with rep- resentatives of the provincial government and other festi val communities to discuss solutions to rowdy celebra- tions. At Monday’s council meet- ing, police described their riot prevention plans behind closed doors, and both police and councillors refused to diseuss details for fear of tipping off potential rioters.

Canadian shot by robbers TORONTO (CP) A Can adian man on holiday in the Dominican Republic is re. covering in an area hospital on the Caribbean island after being ambushed and shot by thieves Tuesday on his hotel balcony. James Elliott, 39, a con tractor from Mono Mills, near Toronto, is in stable con dition. He was shot through the hand and a lung after he and wife Trudy, 36, returned to their hotel room in the capital city of Santo Domin go, Elliott's mother Doreen said in Toronto. The couple had been out for the evening and had won some money at a casino. When Elliott went onto the balcony to investigate a noise, he found two or more men who shot him after a struggle, phone calls from Trudy Elliott to friends in Canada indicate. The men escaped across the room and out the door, while Elliott staggered into the room clutching his chest, which was streaming blood. The couple, who began their holiday on the island last week, had planned to stay until the end of this week. The Canadian Embassy in Santo Domingo has been unable to confirm details of the incident with police, but poliee say they have a lead, embassy spokesman Horten- sia Batista said. ~ EGY One AT aa.95 GET THE SECOND ONE FOR-ONLY $1.00!
