HALIFAX — There's a little bit of the preacher in
most comics.

For Bill Carr, a cherub-faced commentator on CBC's
The Journal, the preacher took over in the early ‘80s.
That's when Carr became a pastor in western Nova
Scotia.

“One day my congregation had sung a hymn they
loved and I said, ‘That's a lovely hymn, it’s too bad the
theology is so rotten.’ I didn't get a warm response. The
ministry was not for me so I left.”

The chubby 32-year-old Maritimer, a veteran of local
theatre whose stint as pastor lasted three years, now has
a secular ministry bathed in television lights, where
sermons are satiric sketches pricking holes in everyday
hypocrisy.

His choice of banal topics such as jogging or shopping
confuses some viewers. The humor tickles many while
leaving others cold. His commentaries, 90-second spots
which appear once a week, are darts aimed at yuppies,
politicians and other favorite targets.

“The funniest stuff is in everyday life,” stresses the
balding, ever-smiling Carr. “I'm in every person. I
express everyone's neurosis by looking at the world the
way most people do.” Re

In conversation, Carr is an incessant chatterer, a
blur of moving hands and stage voices. He is a verbal
spinning top out of control, launching into solemn soli
loquies on life which always end with a joke.

For this student of theatre and theology, undue
seriousness is society's enemy No. 1. And he regards
everything as grist for his comedy mill, except the centre
of his life — his two young boys and wife, Theresa.

“My rules are I don’t make fun of anything that
involves love — everything else is open ground.”

But his acerbic tongue has been censored at times.
The Journal recently refused to broadcast a skit on the
“lighter aspects” of sexually transmitted diseases,

Carr finds his material in the street: in newspapers,
trends and coffee-shop banter. He then stretches the idea
to its illogical conclusion,

“For example, when the ‘stock market crashed, I
thought yuppies must now be frugal, or ‘frumpies.’ Then,
I thought, you don’t give a frumpie 14 designer shirts for
Christmas, you give him one non-name shirt and 14
iron-on labels.”

NOW IN TORONTO

A native of Liverpool, N.S., Carr moved to Toronto
five months ago where he is still not comfortable with the
big-city coldness, He sometimes returns to his native
Nova Seotia for acting jobs.

Carr was brought up the model son ofa conservative
minister and & mother “with a warped sense of humor.”
At Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., he took up
theatre, then spent a decade as a professional actor and
writer with groups such as Neptune Theatre in Halifax,

Tired of chasing acting jobs and anxious for a family
life, Carr found spiritual root missing.” Study at
seminaries in Indiana and Halifax ensued. But his critical
approach soon chafed against religious attitudes he found
resistant to change.

His entry into television commentary began a couple
of years ago when he was invited to do a weekly piece for
CBC's First Edition, a Halifax suppertime news show. An
offer from The Journal followed last fall.

In Toronto, Carr is working on several projects,
including a pilot comedy show for television. He is writing
a book spoofing get-rich-quick schemes and has ambitions
to do a radio show. Carr also appeared in Neptune
Theatre's production of Cinderella-Cindy, a play he
co-wrote.

With all these forums for public commentary, is Carr
worried that people will tire of his message, that he'll be
too preachy?

“You can only get too preachy if you know the
answers,” he shoots back. “I don't know the answers, but
I'm really good with the questions.”

Spoon reworks Rockford

LOS ANGELES (CP) — Sonny Spoon, a new NBC
series starring Mario Van Peebles, looks like a reworked
version of James Garner's old series The Rockford Files.

The locale has shifted to the East Coast from L.A., and
the star is black instead of white, but otherwise the
similarities are numerous:

¢ Both are light-hearted, action-adventure series.

© Both have good-natured, engaging stars playing wry,
fun-loving, detectives.

e And, both involve Stephen Cannell, a durable
producer of mass appeal action hours.

Once Spoon began last Friday following Miami Vice and
viewers will recognize other parallels with Rockford.

Jim Rockford worked out of a house trailer during his
six-year run on NBC from 1974 until 1980; Spoon's “office” is
an ostensibly broken pay phone.

Rockford was an ex-con with ties to the street, while
Spoon, as NBC describes him, “is a bit of a con artist .. .
well-connected to the streets.”

Rockford had a love-hate relationship with a local police
detective, while Spoon will be bouncing lines off an
attractive young district attorney.

DOES ‘VOICES’

Obviously, as Van Peebles said in an interview, the idea
was to do something “a la Rockford.”

The twist Van Peebles brings is the man-of-a-thousand-
voices — someone who uses a lot of fake accents and fast talk

in his crime-stopping exploits.

Ona highlight reel, it appeared this act will also borrow
from the Eddie Murphy school of cute tricks, false anger and

street swagger.

In an interview at least, Van Peebles is his own person
— a charming, gung-ho entertainer who says his flexibility
and ear for speech inflection inspired NBC to create a series

for him.

“From my part in L.A. Law, I got people saying ‘oh, we
enjoyed your performance as a black lawyer and a buppie,”

Van Peebles said.

“And when I did Heartbreak Ridge, it was sort of ‘the
Ayatollah rock and rolla’ and the home boys would say ‘Yo,

man, you were hip in that flick — I dug it.’

“And then of course, Jaws: The Revenge was with the
Bahamian accent. So I think people say all this and said:

‘Who is this weird guy playing all these roles? ”

Son of film-maker Melvin Van Peebles, Mario draws his
kalidescope of accents from a genuine international back-

Premier opposes
abortion on

demand policy

Press

POWELL RIVER, B.C, (CP) — British Columbia will
not pay for “abortion on demand” regardless of what kind
of new federal legislation is intFoduced, Premier Bill
Vander Zalm said Tuesday.

Federal Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn told the
Commons earlier Tuesday a new law is needed because of
the recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling which struck
down a law restricting access to abortions.

“If it (federal legislation) is abortion on demand, we
do not intend to see it funded from taxpayers by
government,” Vander Zalm said,

Hnatyshyn told the Commons the federal govern.
ment will consult with the provinces — which have a role
in the delivery of health services — then will introduce a
new law governing abortions.

The Supreme Court struck dow: riminal Code
provisions which limited abortions to those approved by
hospital committees.

Vander Zalm, who said late Saturday that B.C.
medicare would pay for abortions only if the mother's life
was threatened, said he is encouraged by Ottawa's
position but wants to see details of the legislation before
commenting further.

“I'm very pleased to hear there will be |

Medical decisions such as
aborytion should be made
between doctors and patients
only, Dr. Mark Gelfer said
today in an interview, al.

speaking personally, not on
behalf of other doctors,

fusions, if they don't happed

Gelfer said family doctors
are usually the first in the
medical profession to see a
woman when she is pregnant
and unsure what to do.

“We deal with tragedies all
the time and abortion is
another tragedy,” he said.
“But we see that it isn't
always straightforward, it
isn't always a case of irre
sponsibility.”

Gelfer said one of his
patients was so fertile she

wearing an interuterine de-
vice and then became preg:

but I can't say whether I'll be pleased with the legislation
until I see it,” the premier said, “It's certainly
encouraging to hear there will be legislation as was
recommended by the Supreme Court judges.

Until Hnatyshyn's remarks, the federal government
had not indicated it would respond to the Supreme Court
ruling with a new law.

Vander Zalm said he would like to see legislation to
clarify the confusion following the court decision.

“I think the legislation will go a long way to
alleviating a lot of the concerns out there now.”

At the opening Monday of a two-day Social Credit
caucus retreat in this community, 90 kilometres north of
Vancouver, Vander Zalm declared that even victims of
rape and incest will not have abortions paid for by the
B.C. government.

Vander Zalm — a devout Roman Catholic and
avowed anti-abortionist — said Tuesday he would not like
B.C.'s Criminal Injuries Compensation Act to be used to
circumvent the government's abortion policy.

Larry Timoffee, administrator of the legislation, said
earlier Tuesday that under the act, rape victims are
eligible for medical expenses and hospital and ambulance
costs not paid for under a medical or hospital plan.

Timoffee added that no claims have been made since
the act was passed in 1972.

“I would certainly be disturbed if I found another
arm or agency of government using” another piece of
legislation to do what we wouldn't normally do,” Vander
Zalm said. “I expect really the adjudicators would keep
that in mind.”

But he said board members will not be ordered or
asked to adhere to the government abortion policy when
ruling on claims.

would expect them to use the ethics that are expected of

thrust and policy and direction of government.”

Under the legislation, the board may also grant
victims a lump sum ranging from $100 to $25,000,
depending on the extent of injury‘and work status of the
victim.

The premier admitted he had not seen the legis-
lation, but said he would not change it to conforms with
the government's abortion policy. “What I can foresee
doing is to specifically inform adjudicators that we will
have an alternatives-to-abortion program available to

November, Frech said.

The province, which leases the land for the under.
ground lab, has approved the tests but Atomic Energy still
has to apply for a licence from its regulatory body, the
Atomic Energy Control Board, he said.

“The materials poses no danger to anyone and we
certainly are experienced with handling radioactive material
safely.”

The experiments, slated from February 1989 to August
1990, involve mixing radioactive isotopes with water and
rubble and plotting their movement through steel and
plastic pipes, Frech said

He said Japan, the fourth largest nuclear generating
country in the world, approached Canada with the contract
about one year ago.

GOOD LOCATION

He noted the tests can't be done in Japan because it
lacks the underground facilities and the Lac du Bonnet site,
about 110 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, is one of three
such labs in the world.

But in Winnipeg and Lac du Bonnet, the announcement
is being greeted critically.

“I have some concerns,” said Leo Drabyk, reeve of Lac
du Bonnet, who thinks the experiments would be safer in
surface laboratories.

Anti-nuclear activists say the Japanese government
follows too closely on the heels of another agreement with
the United States to use the underground lab.
