HOME GADGETS
MAY OVERLOAD
RADIO WAVES

By MARLENE ORTON
Canadian Press
OTTAWA — Love those gadgets. You've got your
cordless telephone, your electronic burglar alarm, your
home computer system and your garage-door opener.

By the end of the decade, there will be even more _

high-tech goodies ready to hum around the home.

But each of those devices uses a piece of airspace.
Most people don't give it a second thought, except when
one gadget accidentally sets off another, like the burglar
alarm.

More and more invisible radio waves are bouncing
around your house, in the neighborhood, throughout
cities and around the world. Somebody has to make sure
there's no overload of the airspace known as the radio
spectrum.

REGULATES USE

Enter Robert Gordon, assistant deputy communica-
tions minister, whose department regulates use of the
airwaves.

“Something as mundane as ordering a taxi, taking a
trdin, taking a plane — anything you do uses the radio
frequency spectrum,” he says.

There are some simple rules.

Airspace is divvied up among countries, then split
into a range of ies — some for Mi others
for the police, television stations, paging beepers and air
traffic controllers.

Then the airwaves are divided again by power so you
won't get a local rock 'n’ roll radio station butting into
your wireless telephone call.

SET STANDARDS

Beyond that are the technical standards developed
over the years by industry and government to limit
frequency power of various devices and block the
opportunities for interference.

A television, for example, might pick up a signal
generated by a computer if the two devices are close to
each other. “You could see it (the signal) or hear it,
particularly if (the TV is) not well shielded and it doesn’t
meet the standard,” Gordon says.

A cordless telephone, plunked on top of a computer,
could even shut down the computer.

“Probably if you stuck it close to the receiver of your

“We people who have taken cordless
telephones and amplified the signal so that they had what
was the equivalent of a mobile radio,” he says. “What that
ended nd doing was ‘ing with an sh

LICENCE NEEDED

Every business transmitting messages through the
airwaves, from the local TV station to taxi companies, has
to have a federal licence to use a piece of air so the
government can keep track of who gets what. Even ham
radio and CB operators need a licence.

Canadian laws involving airspace first went into
effect about 1910. At the time, the Fisheries Department
was in charge of radio equipment, which was used mainly
aboard ships.

By 1913, low-power radio stations were being
licensed and every person with a radio receiver had to
pay a $1 licence fee.

In 1952, people had to have a federal licence for a
television set. The TV licence was soon abandoned in
Canada but is still around, in other parts of the world,
mainly to generate government revenues,

Gordon says there are no rules in Canada limiting
use of the airwaves by the family — you can have as many
gadgets as you like in your home.

But overall uses of the spectrum are rapidly
changing.

“The radio spectrum has expanded in the past 20 or
30 years, but the uses of the spectrum have expanded
even faster,” says Gordon.

In fact, the government reached a new agreement
with the United States on shared airwaves several years
ago, which gave Canada enough space to add an extra 100

AM radio stations across,the country.

— Tony thought he'd never
rape a girl.

“T'd never stoop that low,”
he tells his friend, Dés, in the
locker room at sthool. “I
don't have to.” ‘

But in a play being pre-
sented in high sehools across

Tony

Cortés ¢
one night when he assaults
his date after a party.

The play, titled Thin Ice, is
intended to teach students
about date rape. It's pro-
duced by Theatre Direct of
Toronto and was performed
Friday at Kitchener-Water-
loo Collegiate.

In Thin Ice, Tony (Chris
Girotti) is a witty and popu-
lar high school student who
convinces Jennifer (Leslie
Jones), who has a crush an
him, to come to a party at his
home.

Tony gets Des (Jack-
Nicholsen) to take Jennifer's
friend, Trish /(Laura Hubert),
to the party so Jennifer will

go.
After the party, Jennifer
stays late to help Tony clean
up. The two soon start kiss-
ing, but then things get out of
hand.
TRIES TO STOP
When Jennifer tries to
stop Tony, he threatens her
and then becomes violent be-
fore finally relenting.
Throughout the play, is-
sues such as pornography,
sexually suggestive adver-
tising and common miscon-
ceptions about sex are dis-
cussed by the characters.
Rob Croezen, a child abuse
co-ordinator with Family and

among
dents about date rape and
sexual assault,
“We all like to feel that
when we @re with somebody
we love and trust, that we

“Unfortunately, it is be-
coming more and more ap-
parent that we cannot.”

It’s important through dis-

cussion “to sensitize kids that ~

when people say no, they
mean no,” he said.

Schools pay between $425
and $490 — depending on
their distance from Toronts

The company also holds
workshops on date rape the
day before the play to famili-
arize students with the issue.

HAS CONFIDENCE

Mueh of the play's dram-
atic impact depends on the
character of Tony. He's
funny, handsome, confident
about himself, and he drives
@ motorcycle.

In the first part of the play,
Tony acts the way many
teenage boys like to see
themselves, and his chum-
ming-around friendship with
Des is typical of young male
relationships.

“A lot of guys are going to
relate to those two, the way
they're talking on the phone
and talking in the locker
room,” Tim Ferguson, a
Grade 13 student at the
school, said during a discus-
sion after the play.

REAL Women
group divided

OTTAWA (CP) — After
more than a week of in
fighting, the anti-feminist
group REAL Women issued
a statement Tuesday trying
to clarify who is on its board
of directors.

The group appears divided
into two factions, one of
which is laying the ground-
work for an alternative or.
ganization called Victorious
Women of Canada.

The organizational prob-
lems came to a head 10 days
ago at a meeting of the
12-member board of direc.
tors.

REAL Women president
Lynn Scime said in a news
release Tuesday that Susan
Rogerson — a board member
and public relations officer —
resigned at that meeting and
two new members were ap
pointed to the executive.

Lettie Morse of Ottawa
became secretary and Gwen.
dolyn Landolt of Toronto was
appointed to the new position

The board also decided to
eject the Saskatoon chapter
from REAL Women of Can-
ada because it didn't follow
the group's guidelines and
adopted positions conflicting
with the national group, the
news release said.

Scime said Monday there
had been a motion at the
meeting to disband the exe-
cutive but that she was still
president

“As you surmise, we are
having some organizational
problems,” she said.
Although Landolt claimed
last week she was executive
vice-president, other REAL
Women members weren't
sure. And Rogerson said
Monday that no one had re-
signed from the executive.

“Mrs. Landolt is not auth
orized to speak on behalf of
the executive,” said Roger.
