Joke on Latremo

jokes on his morning CFUN
radio show. He makes fake
“wakeup” calls to people,
such as the time he called a
woman attending a snore
clinic and told her she'd been
selected to represent Canada
in an international snore-off
in Chicago.

Earlier this month Lat-
remouille was in Hollywood
among the audience for a
taping of Johnny Carson's
Tonight Show when he was
approached by a man who
said he was looking for a
Canadian dise jockey.

The man told Latre-

ville

mouille Carson was sick and
so was guest host Jay Leno.
“I started to get nervous,”
Latremouille said. “And then
I really got nervous when the
guy asked me if I was funny.”
Then the man handed Lat-
remouille a sheet of paper on
which was typed “Hi Fred,
you have just had a wakeup
call from Mrs. Dale Kayé of
New Westminster.” Kaye
had arranged the practical
joke with Carson producer
Fred De Cordova.
“In four years it was the
first time I've been caught,”
Latremouille said.

FEMALE K
SINGERS IN
SHORT SUPPLY

NEW YORK (AP) — Three years ago, it was hard to
turn on a radio without hearing Joan Jett pounding,
Madonna whining or Cyndi Lauper telling us girls just
want to have fun. Women had a dominant role in the rock
scene.

At the Grammy Awards being presented March 2 at
Radio City Music Hall, female rockers appear extinct.

There's no category, as there was, for best rock vocal
performance by a female.

The Grammys have separate categories for men and
women singers in pop and rhythm and blues. The rock
category combines them this year. Tina Turner, grand-
mother of rock who was named best female rock vocalist
last year, is nominated along with Richard Marx, Bob
Seger, Bruce Springsteen and Joe Cocker.

Al Schlesinger, president of the National Academy of
Recording Arts and Sciences, said NARAS has a rule that
the 6,000 professional members must nominate 10
different people in a category for that category to exist.

The screening committee decides whether someone
has been nominated in the right category. If not, the
nomination is moved to another category.

DROP CATEGORY

“Record company executives will always try and
enter things in smaller categories where there's less
competition,” Schlesinger said. “We don’t accept that. If
we don’t end up with 10 nominations in a category, rather
than having insufficient competition, we fold that
category into another one. It doesn't happen often.”

Another rule RCA executive Dennis Fine un-
successfully fought this year is that rock vocal per-
formance nominations must be from solo albums, making
lead singers ineligible.

“Grace Slick's Babylon is a rock ‘n’ roll track and a
great solo on a Starship album. Unless she does her own
solo album, it’s not considered a solo. It all depends on
how a record is billed. It’s not fair. Sade is considered to
be a group. The screening committee eliminated Patty
Smythe and Cyndi Lauper from rock in the past. They
determined they were pop.”

During the decade, Tina Turner, Madonna, Cyndi
Lauper, Sheena Easton, Laura Branigan, Joan Jett, Pat
Benatar, Annie Lennox, Chaka Khan, Donna Summer,
Debbie Harry and Grace Jones took rock in new
directions with strong images and hot music.

Are these female rockers — and others — suddenly
in short supply?

ANGERS PUBLISHER

Bob Gucci Jr., publisher of Spin i is
incensed that the female rock vocalist category was
eliminated.

“This is literally a disservice to both males and
females,” he said. “I think, if anything, the last year to
two years has represented the emergence of the female
rock superstar. It started with Madonna and it’s really

Promoter Bill Graham disagrees. “It is an irony and
phenomenon of rock ‘n’ roll that there have been so few
women accepted commercially. I really don’t understand
why, other than the fact that the terminology of rock ‘n’
roll sounds more masculine than feminine. The music has
got a harder edge sometimes.

“We have to generalize but a young rock ‘n' roll male
listener may have a problem admitting that he’s a fan of a
female rock ‘n’ roller, if his friends are into all-male
groups. A woman rocker is going to have to have that
extra edge, so that he can't get that song out of his head.
Otherwise she'll lose.”

Singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, nominated for
three Grammys this year, including “best pop vocal,
female,” agrees with Graham.

“When Rolling Stone ran its list of the Top 100 rock
albums, I noticed there were only six women on this list.
Laura Nyro and Kate Bush have made brilliant albums

but they can’t be considered rock ‘n’ roll.

Supreme Court hears Native leaders
abortion arguments

VANCOUVER (CP) — The British Columbia govern.
ment exceeded its authority when it ruled that public health
insurance would pay for abortion only when the pregnancy
threatened a woman's life, B,C. Supreme Court was told
Tuesday.

“If this regulation works, then any regulation will work
and that will be tantamount to undermining the whole of this
(Medical Services) act,” said lawyer J.J. Camp, acting for
the B.C.’ Civil Liberties Association.

In the first of two announced court challenges of the
province's new abortion policy, Camp asked Chief Justice
Allan McEachern to declare the regulation null and void.

But lawyer John Hall, acting for the attorney general,
said the province has the diseretion to decide what medical
services would be funded. He argued there was no basis on
which the court could conclude that cabinet exercised its
powers unfairly.

McEi n, citing p said it would
be at least early next week before he would have a decision.

The change in medical coverage was made by order-in.
council about two weeks after the Supreme Court of Canada,
ruling in the case of Montreal abortionist Dr. Henry Mor-
gentaler, struck down the federal abortion law.

The Social Credit government, whose Roman Catholic
premier has called abortion evil, is on record as rejecting
abortion on demand. While the Supreme Court decided
women didn't need permission from hospital abortion
committees to have the procedure, the government. said

in a telephone interview with the Vancouver Sun from
London, England.

John Dixon of the civil liberties association said he was
pleased the court had heard the matter speedily.

“This is a lean action and a modest one,” he said. “We're
asking the court to apply settled law.”

Norah Hutchinson of the Concerned Citizens for Choice
on Abortion said she had hoped for an immediate decision.

“We're hoping they will force the government to deal
with it in the legislature,” she said. “With the dissent shown
in caucus, it might not be as easy. (to pass legislation on
abortion) as they had thought.”

Although Vander Zalm’s cabinet has appeared united on
the policy, about half a dozen backbenchers have expressed
some concern with it.

1S PRO-CHOICE

After a meeting Monday, caucus chairman Carol Gran
said members unanimously supported the decision only to
fund abortions in life-threatening situations. But Kim
Campbell, the first backbencher to publicly disagree with
Vander Zalm’s position, said she remained a pro-choice
advocate.

Some of the backbenchers’ concerns about the policy
had come from Vander Zalm’s statement that abortion costs
wouldn't be paid in cases of incest or rape. But last week the
government said the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act
would cover those victims.

Also waiting to challenge the province's position is the
Legal Ei ion Action Fund, a national women's rights

public money would not be used to pay for it. jk
has taken a similar position.
WON'T CHANGE

Premier Bill Vander Zalm said Tuesday that no amount
of pressure would make him change his position. He
conceded he was worried about the court challenge “because
there’s always the possibility the court could decide against
us.

But “I don’t think I'm on weak ground on this,” he said

group, which said Tuesday its national executive has agreed
to go ahead with its own action, depending on the success of
the civil liberties association petition.

In court, Camp said the case was not intended to resolve
moral or public policy but was confined to the legislative
argument that the regulation was’not valid because the
lieutenant-governor in council (the premier and his govern-
ment) exceeded its authority.

Death squ

LONDON (Reuter) — Am-
nesty International said to-
day that death squads at-
tached to a secret military
unit have apparently re-em-
erged in Honduras and could
be responsible for three
killings last month.

“Reports during 1986 and
1987 of bombings and intim-
idation i suggest

man rights group said in a
report.

It said arbitrary arrests,
torture and ill-treatment of
trade unionists, ? students,
peasants and human rights
workers were widespread in
Honduras and showed no
signs of diminishing.

The report cited the case of
i Doris Rosibel

that such units may have
been reactivated and are
once again more deployed
against individuals singled
eut for their outspoken op
position to government pol
icies,” the London-based hu

P
Benavide Tarrius, 29. She
told the group that during a
three-week detention by po-
lice, she was stripped, hung
from a metal bar, given
electric shocks to the feet and
breasts, beaten and raped.

Park protesters

appear

CAMPBELL RIVER,
B.C. (CP) — Twenty-two of
88 protesters arrested in
Strathcona provincial park
in the last month appeared
in provincial court on
Tuesday to fix a date for
their trial on various
charges.

Most of the 22 people
who appeared in the court
room in this northern Van
couver Island community
are charged with mischief
and or blocking a public
road. Twenty-one of them
will return to court March
8 to enter pleas. One man
who pleaded not guilty will
also return to court the
same day to fix a trial date.

Almost 40 people in total

in court

have been arrested for
protesting mineral explor-.
ation work in the park by
Silver Cream Mines Ltd.
The company obtained a
B.C. Supreme Court in
junction against the pro-
testers earlier this month,
which had prohibited dem.
onstrators from appearing
within five kilometres of
the drill site in the central
Vancouver Island park.

Outside the courtroom,

Amnesty said it had ap-
pealed directly to the Hon-
duran government to invest:
igate reports that death
squads ambushed and killed
Miguel Angel Pavon, presi-
dent of the Committee for the
Defence of Human Rights, on
Jan. 14.

ACCUSES HONDURAS

The committee said the
killing appeared to be in re-
taliation for Pavon's testi-
mony. against Honduras be-
fore a regional human rights
court in. 1987.

Honduras has denied in
volvement in the killings.

Amnesty said the way at-
tacks against opponents of
President Jose Azcona were
carried out pointed to a cam-
paign by undercover groups

squad killings and disap-
pearances in the early 1980s.

“Amnesty International
has not detected a pattern of
disappearances under the
present (Azcona) govern-
ment,” the report said.

“However, the organiza-
tion remains seriously con-
cerned by the failure of this
government, and its pre-
decessor, to take positive
steps to clarify the fate of
over 100 people reported to
have disappeared between
1981 and 1985.”

OTTAWA (CP) — Two
B.C. native leaders left here
frustrated Tuesday after
failing to get a hearing from
either Indian Affairs Min
ister William McKnight or a
Commons committee.

“What the minister of In.
dian affairs has done today is
abandon the Indian people,”
Ruby Dunstan, chief of the
1,350-member Lytton band,
said in an interview.

Dunstan and Chief Leo
nard Andrew of the Mount
Currie band were in Ottawa
to seek McKnight's blessing
for a proposal to end an
impasse with the B.C. gov.
ernment over logging in the
Stein River valley

But Pamela Forward, a
spokesman for McKnight,
said no meeting was granted
Tuesday because the chiefs
were not specific endugh
about what they wanted to
discuss. She also said the
minister has refused prev
ious written requests to meet
the chiefs because he did not
want to interfere with ne.
gotiations.

“I don't know where
they're getting the idea that
the Lytton band and the
Mount Currie band are ne
gotiating with the province,”

. “We've never
ever negotiated anything.”

She said the bands have
been trying to arrange a
meeting with McKnight since
1985, and that they have a
seven-month consultation
plan that could break the im-
passe with the province.

WANTS MEETING

In the Commons, NDP
MP James Fulton, who rep-
resents the B.C. riding of
Skeena, asked Prime Min-
ister Brian Mulroney to meet
with the two native leaders
or “to appoint a minister of
Indian affairs who will meet
with aboriginal people.”

And at a meeting later of
the Commons aboriginal af.
fairs committee, Fulton
asked that Dunstan and An-

drew be permitted to speak
about the issue. The request
was refused.

The Stein River valley,
about 160 kilometres north-
east of Vancouver, is one of
the last unlogged watersheds
in the province. The Social
Credit government has ap-
proved logging in an area
representing about nine per
cent of the valley.

The bands claim they have
aboriginal rights over the
valley and are demanding an
agreement with Victoria that
recognizes these rights and
gives natives control over
development.
