Mar. 21, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Pay Equity Most women who hear about the new Ontario law on "pay equity" think that it means "equal pay for equal work". which is too bad because it means "equal pay for work of equal value" and that means some official or board decides in its wisdom that jobs held by women have to be related to other jobs held mainly by men and their pay must be equal, regardless of the difference in the jobs. So far the Pay Equity system has been applied to the civil service of Ontario and pay raises to women means an extra SW million for Ontario taxpayers to pay out. And that is not about equality but it is about giving more money to women so the feminist movement can claim victory in its program to downgrade men in the workplace. Now that this "victory" for the feminists has been won. the Minister of Labour Gerry Phillips is bringing in amend- ments to the act because where there are no men to com- pare for equal value in a workplace an arbitrary adjust- ment will be made. Or as the labour minister is quoted as saying: "it would no longer be necessary to compare each female job to a male job .. in order to determine the ap- propriate wage adjustment." In other words in Ontario business will no longer have control over an important cost factor - how much each female employee is to receive. This moves our democratic system closer to the communist system which eastern Europeans have been rejecting very decidedly. Commissioner of Pay Equity Brigid O'Reilly says she is happy with the change being made but disappointed that females can't be compared to males in other companies' And you call this equality? No way' Halt Increasing Taxes Dear Sir: Over the last few years. property taxes raised by North York. Metro and the Board of Education have been increas- ing at an alarming rate. This is causing grave concern to a large and growing number of taxpayers - Our organization, Halt Increasing Taxes I HIT r, has been formed as a result of the growling taxpayer concern with double digit increases experienced last year and the threat of this continuing in the years to come. I am sure you can understand our concerns when salaries and pensions are in- creasing at 4-5% a year and our taxes are increasing at 2 to 3 times this figure. Excuses and fhngerpointing must stop and positive action must be taken to reverse this trend. Our suggestion is that no increases from the 1989 expern- diture levels be allowed for 1990. We realize the impact of this suggestion but feel it is time for politicians at some level of government to show leadership in the area of fiscal responsibility. We would like to know your position an the above. If you cannot support a zero increase then what level of tax in- crease will you be supporting in the upcoming budget debates? What action have you taken on cosi containment in areas under your control. and which programs, in your view, could be cut back in an attempt to reduce costs? We believe it is important that the taxpayers know who is supporting budgetary restraint and who is only paying lip service to attempts to control costs. We look:7 forward to your response and thank you in advance. Bruce W.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Fed Up With Votes Of Ontario Towns Dear Editor: Well. I've had it. The decision of the Sgult Ste. Marie city council and other Ontario towns is the last drop of bigotry and narrow-mindedness I can stomach in this fair land of ours. It is time to fight beck. We must create a pan -Canadian organization that will go out and argue for tolerance. understanding. justice and generosity among all Canadians. wherever it is under at- tack. And under attack it is. Prejudice is raising its ugly head everywhere. One can hardly believe that with all of Canada's adnevements. in the last two years we have witnessed: - unWngulal English votes in 27 Ontario towns - the growth of APEC. the Alliance for the Preservation of English in Canada: - the fight over Law 178. the Quebec signs law; - the attack on French in Manitoba; - racist shun against native peoples and neo -Canadians; - the stripping of traditional French rights in Alberta and Saskatchewan; - the rise of CORE, the Confederation of Regions party in New Brunswick; - the resurgence of sepertism in Quebec. or at least feelings of alienation towards Canada. It is pitiful. It is a disgrace to our heritage. Let us hope the world does not find out or our name will be mud. They will never believe that a country that has been giver so much has fallen so low. We Canadians have been given, in trust. half a continent, untold wealth and beauty; a tradition of peace, compromise and progress. We have developed a knack for diplomacy, for negotiations, for spreading har- mony and understanding - To maintain and develop this rich tradition we must respect and trust one another. It appears we need a strong voice that will answer and educate those of narrower vi- sion. Parties and politicians have last the will to speak out or have been hamstrung by their fear of losing votes. I have in mind a non-partisan group, a permanent people's organization, that will champion bilingualism and multiculturalism. Canadian dualism. concerns for natives and neo -Canadians. In short, we need an omni -present organization to respond to such groups as CORE and APEC and to champion tolerance and mutual understanding on a permanent basis in our multi -cultural society. Do you, too, want to combat the growing tide of prejudice and short-sighted bigotry? Together, can we stop the mindless slide toward ethnic and racial feuding? Send me a note with name, address and phone numbers. If we remain silent the voices of darkness will surely prevail. Alone each of us can do little. Together we can maintain Canada on its traditional path. Let's get together and stop the nonsense.

Mar. 21. 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: There are many good things to like about the cur- rent show at the Bathurst Street Theatre and one thing in particular for poor benighted reviewers such as yours truly. We refer to the title. "Six Women With Brain Death or Expiring Minds Want to Know" is such a long title that it's good for at least several picas, thereby filling up space while we ponder over how best to describe it or even describe it at all. It is a musical work that uses as a book the intellec- tual homogenization of much of North American society and its acceptance of tabloid journalism, the kind everyone reads in super market check out lines. The aim is laudable but one is not sure that the target is always hit. In decrying intellectual decline it espouses the cerebral but uses the raunch. As just one exam- ple, a sketch uses Barbie and Ken Dolls in describing young girls' pre -adolescent dreams about the opposite sex. It's rather charming . . until the nuptials of Barbie and Stud (oops, Ken) take place and Barbie turns into a virtual harlot. Soixante neuf et tout cela. As another, there is much clinical talk about the use of sanitary tam- pons - Yet another sketch in- volves a dialogue between one woman and the severed head of another.

What about the music? Well, what about it? To our ear at least there are no tunes that should survive outside the production; there are none notable for melody and the lyrics for the most part are virtual reprises of the spoken raunchy words. The presentation of the songs, the choreography, the staging? Pretty amateurish we thought. In fact the opening and clos- ing numbers are almost embarrassing in their inep- titude. To be fair, one is ticA r. -x, sure that a theatre, even one as intimate as The Bathurst, is the proper set- ting. The production might well have been better mounted cabaret style. Theatre in the Dell is now gone but we believe Old Angelo's theatre is still available. Finally then, what about the singiing? Ah friends. it is simply great. The six hugely talented ladies have wonderful vocal power in- dividually and in ensemble. Thrilling is not too strong a word to employ in describing the impact on one's emotions when the six are singing together. Fact is, it rather much reminds one that The Bathurst is not that many years removed from the horse of worship that it once was. The six ladies. and not necessarily in order of im- portance or impact, are Lynda Boyd, Charlene Brandolini, Jaccee Dallyn, Jane Johanson, Ann Warn Pegg and Kendra Sprinkl- ing- We salute than all and congratulate them in almost succeeding in turn- ing what we must reluc- tantly label a sow's ear into a silk purse. Well, what else can one think about a sketch parodying Cats with dogs, or one declaring God is an alien or .. well, why go on?

ON SCREEN: Nuns On The Run, title notwithstanding, is not a scatological exercise though the four letter S word is not notably con- spicuous by its absence. No, this Twentieth Cen- tury Fox film, as you must surely know by now in view of its extensive promotion, is the story of two bank rob- bers on the lam taking refuge in a convent while disguised as nuns. It's the sort of premise that Benny Hill might essay in an eight minute sketch. The screenplay by direc- tor Jonathan Lynn, however, runs just about two hours and is filled with laughter for most of the running time. Some of it is subtle ("You can't unders- tand the Holy Trinity. That's why you have to believe it."), much of it broad to sister going into the loo after one of the felons and puzzling over the upraised toilet seat.) Not to forget either, a member of the Triads speaking with a cockney. accent. The two Nuns on the Rin are erstwhile Monty Pythoneer, Eric Idle ( "Gay Boys in Bondage") and Robbie Coltrane. One daren-t suggest that they are or could be the new Laurd and Hardy who were and remain unique in the realm of manic comedy bud oh my, they corse reasonably dose. Eric Idle, two decades after Monty Python is still slim, still basically honest, basically stupid. Moon fac- ed Robbie Coltrane etudes misplaced confidence, is charming to worsen and has enough street smarts to see him through at the ex- pense of others. Sound familiar? In their irreverent romp through the underworld and more or less reverent traverse of the convent they are joined throughout by a whole, though not necessarily holy host of characters. In no significant order of appearance they are Camille Coduri as a virtual clone of Marilyn Monroe in How to Marry a Millionaire; Tom Hickey as a horny priest; Janet Suzmaman as a incredibly, though unconsciously so, sexy Mother Superior and the redoubtable Doris Hare and lila Kaye as sisters with problems that include drinking and gambling. We dislike commenting on differing enter- tainments in one article but must state that Nuns On The Run works while Six Women With Brain Death doesn't for the simple reason that it doesn't take itself seriously. It is quite simply a funny film. Enjoy. ON RECORD: This is a family jour=nal and accordingly, we cannot offer a review of Shake Them by The Get Funky. Crew (Attic); not with such titles as Shake Them Tit - ties, Pull It All the Way Down, Titty Beats and We Want Freaks on the Floor. Neither may we offer a review of 16 Top Spins/Volume 1 (Attic) with French Kiss (Does Robert Bourassa know about this?), Push It, One More Shot and Jack to the Sound of the Underground. We can however, and with something more than passing pleasure refer to and recommend Miracles by Sattalites (WEA). Sat- talites is/are a more or less Toronto based group (they've just appeared at the BamBoo) and what they offer is something best described as multi -racial, pop -reggae fusion in a tuneful fashion that softens and sometimes obliterates strictured musical boun- daries. Some might describe the music as a little of many disciplines and not much of any. We prefer to think of it as plain and simple fun music. How `•good.. it is, we cannot say.

We need your views we need your feedback. Staff at the Information Centre are there, not only to explain the proposal, but mono importantly to listen to your ideas and views on the future ... and record your suggestions.

Regardless of whether basements are going to be used as extra living space, it is cost effeetivt to air seal and irnulate them to guard against excessive heat loss. Prior to insulating, the basement should be checked for moisture prob- lems. if misdating from the outside.

The most common me- thod for interior insulation i; to build a T x 4' frame wall and fill the space wah R12 pink Fiberglas belts. As a further upgrade, to avoid heat bas through the studs, it is suggested to build the stud frame r out of the wall to allow an R8 Fiberglas batt to be slid in behind the frame.

AS. Condemation appears on windows because they are often the coldest suftfaees in the home. Moisture held in the air as a vapour will readily condense on this cold surface. By adding another layer of glazin& the imide of the window will be warmer and less condensation will occur. It may also be accessary to reduce the amount of moisture produced in your home. Use bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans when showering and cooking; avoid drying clothes in- doors and vent dryers outside. armour Vancouver Piggott is one of re Gardens, Toronto, Ontario For moinformation, write for or call 535-7683.

BILL WATT'S WORLDS, Coll'd. fm Pg. 6 titular attention to the fine keyboard artistry of Messrs David Fowler and Bruce Ro►`tinson: resbwn- ed but conananding and demanding attention. AT TABLE: Well, you can no longer meet and be met by Louis Janetta at the Imperial Room. The long time Maitre D' is now enjoying his new position with Skydome. Oh, you can still see him but not in the friendly and familiar sur- roundings of yore. So you might want to con- sider attendance at the Louis Janetta Tribute Din- ner being presented by the Variety Club on Thurs. Mar. 29th. The dinner is to be held in the Canadian Room of the Royal York and scores of celebrities will be on hand. The cost is a modest $200 per and net proceeds will go to Variety - Call the Variety Club for more details. Telephone 961-7300. Just m passing, we have what we think is an ex- cellent idea to save the Im- perial Room. Why not sell it to Ed Mirvish? If be can't make it pay, then there's no hope and it might as well be turned over to the Heritage Foundation. TI;BE TIME: Frankly we're fed up now with the whining of half baked intellectuals in Quebec for "freedom and independence". Having wt�� ago for we travelled extensively nin the province and were met with nothing but kindness and consideration. We maintain our ties with the province and when visiting there, still find nothing but amity within our circle of friends and associates. It is only a crackpot minority that stirs up la merde: Oh, and of course the spineless Premiere. an opportunist who makes a Tammany Hall back room boy seem like an elder statesman by comparison. Incidentally, the presi- dent of the company for which we worked was a schoolmate and contem- porary of Mons. B. He was offered the opportunity to be groomed for the office subsequently taken by M. Bourassa. He refused. Pi- ty Anyway, the foregoing is all by way of advising of a special five parts series on French -English Relations to be presented on Global starting next Monday. The reporters will be John Burke and Guy Gen- dron both of whom are fluently bilingual. Now, that's more like it; that's what Canada is or should be all about. Next Sunday you might want to watch on CHCH, Amazon Women on the Moon, "a hilarious look at the major and minor irrita- tions in life". Our release does not state if there will be French sub -titles. LAFF TIME: We're sorry we haven't had the opportunity as yet to make the scene at Com- edy a -la -Carte. This is presented every Sunday at 8:30 p.m. by Ingrid Hamilton, former Sunshine Boy photog for the Sun. (Never could get her to take our picture but what the hey!) The setting is the Siboney Club at 169A Augusta Ave. Sounds like fun and it's always a pleasure to see In- grid, she of the liquid and .lovely eyes. FAST EXIT: On this the beginning of Spring allow us to quote from Edmund Spenser. "The merry cuckoo, messenger of Spring . trumpet shrill hath sounded." Allow us also to comment that the quota- tion is rather mindful of the debate over turbans in the R.C.M.P. Where are you whets we need you, Carmen Miran- da! The luncheon will be held at the Chimo Hotel, 7095 Woodbine Ave. from 12 noon to 2 p.m. on Wed. March 28th. Cost to members is $25, non members i30.

On Feb. 10 1990, forty years later, all the romance and idyllic pleasures evoked by im- ages of sand and sea, took on a new dimension as Club Med launched its first cruise vacation on board the world's newest, largest and most beautiful sailing From beachside tents to 21st century technology, forty years of experience and imagination in shaping modern vacation lifestyles has been channeled into the design and philosophy of the company's newest in- novation. The $100 million Club Med 1 will make seven-day cruises from Pointe-a- Pitre. Guadeloupe until Apr. 29 when she sails for a summer season in the Mediterranean. The first Caribbean passengers will find that Club Med 1 com- bines the sprit of yachting with the comfort and elegance of cruising. They also will discover a variety of features rarely offered together on a ship of any size, and the oppor- tunity to shape, day by day, the vacation of their dreams from a wide array of activities and amusements. Club Med 1 departs on Saturdays from Guadeloupe. On Sunday the ship is in Antigua where the focus is on water sports and an excursion to the hand- somely restored English Harbor. Monday the ship visits both sides of St. Maarten, calling on Dutch -flavoured Philipsburg in the morning and the very French St. Martin in the afternoon. Snorkeling, sailing, a gourmet picnic and visits to Pirate's Castle are among the activities scheduled for Tuesday's call on Virgin Gorda with a sunset sail through the British V-ugin Islands. A sampling of the shopp- ing and exciting nightlife of Puerto Rico on Wednesday is followed by the unrivaled stopping and spectacular beaches of St. Thomas on Thursday. Friday is St. Barts, the island noted for its unspoiled beauty, elegance, French am- biance and superb restaurants. Golfers aboard Club Med 1 will play on some of the finest Caribbean courses with all arrangements made for them.

Challenge '90, the Government of Canada's summer employment program for students, provides young people with exciting learning opportunities with local employers. The challenge program, now in its sixth year, encourages employers from all sectors to create meaningful summer jobs for students. It also gives assistance to students seek- ing entrepreneurial opportunities and to younger students looking to assess their education and employment oppor- tunities. The Federal government has also announced a $296.6 million five-year stay -in -school initiative to reduce the 30% drop out rate in Canadian high schools. The drop out situation in Canada is intolerable. It could amount to 100,000 young people a year, potentially one million during the 1990's trying to enter a labour market that increasingly regard many of them as functionally il- literate, largely untrainable, and mostly unemployable. The federal stay -in -school initiative is designed to invite collective national and community efforts to deal with the drop out problem, while recognizing the provinces' fun- damental responsibility for education. The new federal in- itiative includes three major components. Programs and services now directed at in -school youth will be expanded. The government will mobilize business, labour, educators, the provinces and others in a national approach and com- munity action by holding a series of consultations. In co. - OF P ation o-operation with education ministries and private co- sponsors as appropriate, a national, multifaceted informa- tion program will raise public awareness of the chW ut Problem and encourage youth to stay in school. In the past, our advantage in world markets has been has - ed on a rich supply of natural resources Canada's com- petitiveness now depends less on these natural advantages, and more on the skill we bring to work. The skills to use technology to create higher rale -added products or to find better ways of performing tasks are the keys to future Pro- sperity. For this we need to beck to our young.
