NEIGHBORHOOD FEELS
THE SHUTTLE TRAGEDY
Community Leaders Offer
Condolences, Thoughts
Compiled By Connie WoodR
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
Tuesday's explosion of the space shuttle Challenger had Houston residents reeling in shock and
disbelief.
Montrose residents and community leaders shared with the rest of the nation in the grief
surrounding the national tragedy.
The Montrose Voice asked several of our neighbors and friends to comment on their feelings and
thoughts concerning the accident that claimed the lives of seven Americans.
Ron Pogue, pastor, Bering Memorial United Methodist Church:
''I realized when I was 11stemng to the news, I thought I had started to take the space program
for granted. My reaction and feeling was devastation. I had strong feelings. We are saddened. They
represented the pioneer spirit in all of us. We vicariously participated in their quest We lose
something of ourselves with their loss.
I was saddened by the news of the transport of the military several weeks ago. Yet, I had a
stronger reaction yesterday (Tuesday). The families are suffering no less than the families of those
who died yesterday. But there's an attachment to them, their task and their pioneering spirit. J J
Marian Coleman, prin ting fi rm and nightclub owner:
''I basically agree with what Ronald Reagan said yesterday (Tuesday). It was a very eloquent
and sensitive speech. I cannot add much to it, but I do think we must keep on with the program. I
know it means a lot of suffering to go through but we must keep going. J J
Lee Harrington, travel agent:
''It 's amazing that while I feel so removed from most of the country's leaders and many of its
programs, I can feel so much a part of the nation today. No one can take my thoughts away from
me and I think that is very significant. People really do control their own destiny and dignity- a
lesson our community seems to have such a difficult time understanding. We have no business
tolerating, as we do, even a moment of exclusion. J J
George Greanias, Houston City Councilman:
'' Houston is the headquarters for our nation 's space effort. Six of the seven who died lived here.
Christa McAuliffe trained here. For these reasons we feel a special mea.•ure of loss.
The space program will go on. Indeed. I believe that from this tragedy we will take a reneu·ed
commitm<'nt to that effort. But right now we are a family that has lost loved ones. As a family ue
must deal with our grief, and as a community come to terms with the awful loss we have
suffered. J J

State Bill Was Authored by Montrose Businessowners
New Law Upgrades Massage Practices in Texas
By Pete Diamond
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
You've had a long, stressful day at work,
and even though it's Friday, you stil1 can't
seem to relax and get your mind off the
day's toils. Wouldn't a massage be a great
way to unwind and think about more pleasant
thoughts like how you're going to
spend your weekend?
A quick glance through telephone book
listings under "massage'' reveals an unusual
variety of offerings, fr&m "escort services"
to "modeling studios" and "secretary
services." How do you find a legitimate
massage service amongst these numerous
listings?
Thanks to a new state law requiring
massage practitioners to be registered
with the Texas Board of Health, that process
has gotten much easier. The lawHouse
Bill 2012-regulates massage
therapists and massage establishments.
It also requires all massage therapists to
be registered with the state by Jan. I, 1986.
Under the law, only persons who are registered
as massage therapists may use the

word "massage" to describe their services
in advertising.
Bob and Maxine Petteway, owners of
Montrose-based SOMA Theraputic Massage,
worked for 10 years writing the bill
and pushing for its passage. They feel
their efforts have upgraded massage therapy
and set in motion further legitimation
of the massage industry.
"It's about time that massage waa
brought out of the bedroom and into the
therapy room where it belongs," Maxine
says. "It's time we separated sex and the-raputic
massage."
The Petteways believe that as Americans
have become more aware of the
importance of good nutrition and what is
going on inside bodies, they have also
become more concerned about better body
maintenance. Medical researchers have
shown massage to be beneficial to a person's
circulatory, muscular and digestive
systems.
"We do not intrude into a physical therapist's
domain," Maxine says. "We see people
who are in good condition, but may be
under a lot of stress or athletes or weightlifters
who may have problems of minor
soreness."
The Petteways say more and more people
are becoming aware of the benefits
massage can provide. The new Jaw will
likely increase the visibility of theraputic
massage and separate it from the "massage"
practiced by massage parlors and
escort services.
According to Maxine, the law also
upgrades the educational requirements a
person must have before they can register
as a massage therapist with the state.
Applicants must now complete a 25(}.bout
massage therapy course before they can
be accredited by the state. Students are
required to take 125 hours of Swedish mas·
sage therapy techniques as well as courseE
in anatomy, physiology, health and
hygiene and business practices and pn>
fessional ethics.
Prior to enactment of the state law, al l
"massage establishments" in Houston
were regulated by the city health depart
ment, which licensed businesses rathei
than individual practitioners. Maxim
says the regulations were often enforceC
by members of the city vice squad. "It waE
evident we needed better laws and govern
ing of the massage industry," she says.
Over the past two years, the number of
businesses advertising massage services
in telephone directories has dropped to 33,
a decrease of almost50 percent. After January
1, many more of these businesses
were forced to close. Bob explained, however,
that there are actually as many as
200 to 300 legitimate massage therapists MW\Wlillf

practicing in Houston.
In addition to setting educational guid~
lines, the law will provide greater regulation
for massage therapy in the future and
establish it as a recognized profession.
Although the law has been in effect for a
short time, Bob says "Our business has
increased and people seem to have a better
attitude about massage. They feel more
comfortable with it."
The Petteways say they have also been
receiving more calls for legitimate massages.
This is much changed from a time
when for every 35 to 40 calls they received,
only one was for a legitimate massage.
The new law has had a different affect
on other people such as Bill O'Rourke and
Randy Horan, who have not yet been officially
registered with the state. While they
may sti11 give massages, O'Rourke and
Horan cannot use the word "massage" in
their advertising until the state recognizes
them as massage therapists.
Nevertheless, both O'Rourke and Horan
agree the new law is a good one that will be
beneficial to the future of the massage
industry. "Escort services and modeling
studios have been asRociated with massage
for too long," Horan says. "But the
state law will help. It's a step in the right
direction and it creates some uniformity
for massage therapists throughout the
state."

Local Attorney Protests 'Lack of
Constitutionality' in Health Card Issue
By Pete Diamond
Montros~ Vmcr Staff Reportn
In the final day of testimony before a City
Council committee debating the merits of
health cards aa a means of stopping AIDS,
a civil rights attorney denounced the proposal
as "arbitrary and capricious and not
related to its stated objective."
Testifying at the Jan. 23hearingon the
health card issue, Houston attorney
Louise Gilmore said although the proposed
ordinance "may be constitutional
on its f BC{': be<-ause it would promote public
health." there is a lackof ron:-;titutionality
in the operation of the ordinance.
Gilmore explained that under Texas
Civil ~:itatute Article 4476-10, cities and
employers have the right to issue health
cards to insure that employees are "free of
any transmiRsable condition of any dis·
ease or local infection commonly transmitted
through handling of food or drink."
In 1939, when it was thought that food
handlerR could transmit comunicable dis·
eases, the Texas legislature asked the
attorney general for an opinion on the con·
stitutionnlity of Article4476-10, the health
ct•rtificnte statute. Given the medical
knowledge o( the timf", the attorney gen·
era] found the law constitutional hoth in
its face and in its operation.
Howevf'r. thr legality of instating such
an ordinance today to control the spread
of AIDS would have to be qu('stioned,
occording to Gilmore. In reference to Aru
de 4476-10, it is known with almost com·
plete certainty that the HTLV·lll LAV
virus is not "commonly transmitted
through handling of food or drink."
Based on this, Gilmore tiay~ the use of
health <'ard~ is totallv unrelated to AIDS.
She addR, "Tht.>re is ~o medical or logical
connection between the public's desire to
limit the spread of AIDS and health
cards."
Furthermore, Gilmore said the ordinance,
as it stands, does not bear a direct
or rational relationship to its objective of
controll ing the spread of AIDS. Aside from
their questioned accuracy, the HTLV-111
and other AIDS antibody tests are only
good for the day they are given. Health
cards, issued on the basis of thm1e tei;:t
results. would not take into account the
possibility of a ·•certified" worker con
tracting the disease at a later date.
Gilmore also believeA that if passed, the
health card ordinance would be intrusive.
She feels it would result in the violation of
individuals' fundamental rights, from per·
sonal and property right.ti to thoee of pri·
vacy. When obtaining a job depends on
tht" results ofa medical test, it becomes an
economic isame as well as a pen;on's right
to employment. Gilmore added that for
intrav<'nous drug users, the issue of self~
incrimination and Fifth Ammendment
rights also arises.
An ordinanc<' such as the one under con·
sideration by the Houston City Council,
aimed at controlling or stopping the
sprt'ad of AIDS from individuals in high
riE>k groups or those in the food handling
business for ex11mple, would have a
'MWt't·pin~ .. effect. Gilmore sayi-;.
"It would affect everyone. not JUSt the
gay communily," she says. "It's not the
w<'ighmg of one group against another. It
would affect evervone eventuallv There
should not he anYthing to preve;..t a p ..
son from admitting they nee-d medical
attention and being able to get it."
Gilmore believes there are better, 1efls
intrusive and more effective means of controlling
AIDS than issuing health cards.
"There must be no terror attached and vie-tims
of the disease must not be threatened,"
she said. lm;tead. "progressive
and positive" measures for dealing with
AIDS must be pursued.
Nate Sebastian, executive director of
KS/AIDS Foundation of Houston. also
spoke at last week's hearing, further
stressing the importance of education,
and calling it "the best defense against
AIDS." He requested that the city "commit
(their) resources to an educational campaign."
A third speaker. Sul Robs, regiona1
director of day care licensing for the Texas
Department of Human Services, did not
endorse the health card propo!">al. Ross
explained that his office is resporu;ible for
issuing operational standards for day care
centers within the state.
•·we would not require a person with
AIDS to be excluded from a day care center
unless he or ~he also had an air-borne disease."
He added. however, that the deci·
sion to dismiss a day care center employee
with AIDS ultimately rests with each cen·
ter .
Ross ali;:o said that children who have
AIDS •hould not be barred from attending
a day care center, although a restrictive
enVU"Onment may be necessary for ~ome
children, Ruch as those who have a ten·
denc-y to bite or are unable to control their
body fluid•.

GPC President Gears Up for New Year
By Connie Woods
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
Looking forward to her first term as president
of the Houston Gay Political Caucus,
Annise Parker is ready to get down to business.
Citing an important task at hand,
Parker said the caucus must begin to gear
up for the upcoming elections, especially
the judicial elections.
"If candidates don't come to us for an
endorsement, we have to look at the situation
closely," said the 29-year·old president.
She considers it important to get people
involved in the election process.
Parker pointed out that it is important to
build the membership of the organization.
"It's not enough to be registered to vote;
it's not enough to be on the GPC mailing
list.
"The next step," she said, "is getting
other people registered and educating
them on the candidates and issues"
through the caucus membership.
She a lso emphasized that the GPC is a
political organization and should not
"pretend to be anything else." This impor·
tent aspect of the caucus means electing
"progressive, unbiased officials who are
active advocates of civil rights."
The growth of membership in the GPC is
of utmost importance to the organization,
according to Parker. "Every member of
the caucus has a vote; each has a voice in
the organization,'' she said.

Not only do the members have a voice on
political issues and endorsements, they
also have an opportunity to service in the
education of the community through the
mailing list and registering voters.
"The primary tool of the GPC in an election
is the mailing list." she explained.
"There is no reason why every gay person
in Houston is not on the mailing list."
Parker added. "It is a confidential list."
By being on the mailing list, people
receive information about the canclidates
in an election as well as information on
issues whether or not they are members of
the GPC.
In addition to educating the community
through the mailings, Parker pointed out
that registering other voters is also impor-
Annise Parker
tanL
"Not enough gays realize how impor·
tant it is to vote. There have been elections
where 13 votes made a difference in the
outcome of the election," she emphasized.
Addressing the process of registering
voters, Parker said there are many jobs to
be done in the organization. "It takes a lot
of people to get these jobs done like block
walking to encourage registration of
voters as well as presenting information
and fundraisers."
Another goal of the new president is the
strengthening of the caucus committees.
She said she feels an important responsi·
bility of the Democratic and Republican
committees is to get caucus members into
the precinct workings.
Expanding her comments on the com·
mittee functions, she pointed out that each
committee elects itb own chairperson and
holds fundraisers. "Party candidates and
issues should be the responsibility of the
committees. When time to endorse (candidates),
we <GPC) are blind to party identifi·
cation."
Emphasizing that the caucus is a non·
partisan organization-neither Demo·
cratic nor Republican-endorsements are
based on the vote of the caucus member·
ship.
"We have a good organization." she
said ... What I would like to see is stronger
fundraising, tougher budgeting and
accounting process, and stronger media
relations with all the media "
Citing some oftheissues of the past year
in,,·olvlntt the c-aucus, the Rice Univeuity
graduate said. '1'he community deserves
more than to have us always in a crisis
situation.
'The GPC has betn fin) a defensive pos·
ture this year. The only way out of adefen·
sive posture is to go on the offense."
Another goal the newly-elected pres1·
dent has for theGPC is make the meetings
more interesting. She said that an organ·
ized, precise agenda and meetingwould be
more interesting and fa.-;ter while still
covering the necessary business.
In addition, she would like to see speak·
ers from other organizations be included
in the programs to inform the caucus what
other organizations are doing.
For longer programs she believes special
guest speakers from the general population
would be interesting.
From within the cauC'Us, Parker encour·
ages the Speakers Bureau to address more
groups and organization~ within the city
In clarifying where the caucus is con·
t"emmg AIDS, Parker said, "AIDS is a
health issue. It is made into a political
1s..que by our homuphobic (government)
bodies. We have people. individuals, the
mayors task force and other groups who
shouJd be in the forefront 8pt>aking about
AID$.
''The caucus will be involved 'in dealing
wtth government bod.Jes like the city and
state health departments. I will do what 18
necessary for me to do as the pttfo'ident ("f
tht> CBUC'US," she pledged_
Parker is no stranger to the workings of
the GPC' The five-year member of the caucus
has ~erved as board chairman for
three years under three pre!">idents. In
addition, she has experience in several

LolB is equally wonderful She has a
superb grBBp of this absolutely realized
theater person with her preoccupations
with money, food and her first husband.
The play begins with the two of them
working directly with the audience. They
offered astounding feats of mind reading.
If I was not completely taken in by it, it's
only because I was working double time

respect him as much as the other..,
Unfortunately for both of them. there
has been an electron. Although he was
born here in Prague, she is a cockney and
London is their home base now. They
don't pay much attention to local politics
and don't understand it. The nervous
stage manager (well played by Steve

that they are putting themselves in
danger. The Communist.Fl are in power
now.
They convince party member General

This is the last weekend for Pasties at

of their next play. the theater was only
able to add one performance. a matinee

too sorry about that if I were you.
Eddie Cope and Joe McHale wrote this
comedic murder mystery set in a burleMque
school. Then McHale directed it. That
turned out to be a mistake. Another director
might have required them to beef up
the plot and might have pulled this tal~

this script requires.
The original songs are quite nice, but
when will everyone learn that uptempo

Neighborhood
Longtime Club Owner Thinks of the Present
By Connie Wood•
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
"I know where I've been and where I am
going . . ," the woman said in a serious,
authoritative voice as she sat surrounded
by various clowns and photographs as
well as a host of pets.
Marion Pantzer, a community night
club owner and active participant in the
activities of the community,doesn't mince
wordH when she speaks of her past, her
present and her dedication to business
She definitely knows where she has
been and doesn't particularly care to talk
about it. She has nothing to hide; she
simply doNn 't fttl that anyone would be
interested in knowing.
"That wee a long time ago, and no one
cares to hear about that, ' she Raid after
several questions.
However, she is willing to tell a little
about herself in rPferenre to how she came
to Houston, eventually to be a pillar of the
community
The native of New York City was eta·
tioned near Victoria, Texas, in 1942 where
she remained for several years. Her trips
to Houston during that time eventually
lead her to the city where she became a
social worker in protective services.
"Back then they didn't call it human
resources," she said with a chuckle. While
working with the county as a fulltime
caseworker, she also worked at the Desert
Room.
While still working as a caseworker,
Marion opened a new club in 1973 on Con·
verse Street, Just Marion and Lynn's. The
club remained at the Converse location for
more than a decade.
When she did retire as a social worker,
she devoted full time to her business. "I
felt women needed a place to go," she said
Marion Pantzer, ou.mer of Marion and
Lynn's, is dedicated to providing
Houston women with a special plar-e to
xo (Conni.I.• Woods photo)
concl'rning her decision to open the club.
"Once I retired, this has been the rest of
my life," she explained with a smile. In
addition to offering women a place to go,
she wanted to keep her employees work
ing.
l...istening to Marion talk about her club,
there is no doubt she is a serious business·
person. "You can't go into business with·
out longevity in mind," she said when
asked how her club has remained active
while other bars open and close.
She attributes part of her success in bus·
iness to her concern for people, both
patrons and employees. "People need to
talk and someone needs to listen," she
explained.
"People go to bars out of loneliness or
need-a little love or to meet people," she
continued. "I try to instill in my bartenders'
minds people come to talk and to have

someone to hsten to them."
She also encourages her employees to
show patrons "they care." For example,
she wants them to know what a person
drinks and to recognize them when they
come in. Another suggestion for her bartenders
is to introduce new people to other
people sitting at the bar to make them feel
welcome.
Although Marion encourages such business
practic-es from her employees, she
also pointed out that working at the bar
"is not a playground (for employees). It's a
job!"
After realizing her lease on Converse
would not be renewed last fall. iihe began
looking for a new location. The search for
the hright" placf' took several month~.
She found a building on Richmond
Avenue near Montrose end looked at its
possibilities. She said she had a "good feeling"
about the place.
To provide the kind of club she wanted,
Marion knew the building would require
remodeling. The remodeling, done by
women in business and volunteeri:., took
about a month.
After the Converse location closed with
a celebration on Sept. 29, 1985, the rem<r
deling project began. The new location for
Just Marion and Lynn's held its opening
celebration in November
Marion speaks with pride about her new
location. Not only has her business
increased but "we have a nice group of
younger women and many of our older
women are back."
She attributes the increase partially to
the design of the club. "If women want to
sit and talk, we have an area for them. If
they want to play pool, they can do that,
too. And if they want music, they can tum
the music loud in another area," she
explained.
And anyone who has been to Just Marion
and Lynn's is familiar with the clown
motif that has been associated with the
decor. Marion was willing to give a little
insight to her attraction to the clowns.
0 When I was a child, I wanted to go"
away to the circus to be a clown." she
explained. My grandmother knew people
with Ringling Brothen;, She was able to
realize her dream and goal. Marion
became a circus clown where she had the
opportunity to study under Emmett Kelly
a clown she much admired.
Although the circus y'ear!- are behind
her, Marion is known to take out the CO!tumes
and makeup for special appearan·
ces, especlally benefits or fundraisers .
In reference to h ~ clown appearances,
Marion related a story about a fundra1sing
event several years ago when she and
members of a c'ub raised money for Mu&
cular Dystrophy.
She said they delivered the money to a
local radio station. When they told the
announcer the money came from a gay
club, "he almost dropped his microphone.'
Her recollection of the event lead to the
question of what changes Marion has seen
in the community. One important change
she noted was "women are now in a posi·
lion to have the courage to speak up. I
think they feel, if known to be lesbians,
their jobs will be in jeopordy."
However, she said she felt this position
continues to change and attributes some
of the changes to the younger group.
"We've given a lot to the younger group,
but we have learned from them," she
explained.

Films
'Buddies' Explores Gay Friendship
Geoff Edholm and David Schacter star m "Buddies"
By Scott Cutsinger
Montrose Voice Film Critic
It'a been quite a while since a gay-oriented
film has hit Houston, so Buddies is quite a
wekomt' sight. The film offers an insightful
look at a man dying of AIDS, and at his
assigned buddy who comforts him and
learns to love him. The relationship
changes both of their lives as they cry,
argue, and laugh about everything from
sex to lost loves.
Buddies is a small but important film
because it actually portrays gay men in a
non-stereotypical way, Two men must
deal with the tragedy of AIDS, much the
way our community will have to respond
to our dying members. This first dramatic
film about AIDS will be playing at the
River Oaks Feb. 5 and 6only, sodon'tmiss
it.
The second film this week iB Murphy's
Romance, a cotton candy movie that gives
us Sally Field as the fiesty, strong-willed
woman (one more time). James Garner is
on hand in the Cary Grant roleofthe older
man in love with younger Sally. Throw in
a no good ex-husband and a cute kid, and
we have the elements for another sweet
down-on-the-farm drama.
o Buddies
With every aspect of the media turning its
attention to the AIDS disease, it was inev·
itable that feature films would start to deal
with the subject. Broadway has The Nor
mal Heart and As Is. Television had "An
Early Frost." And now there is the first
dramatic motion picture called Buddies.
It is perhaps better that this film is a
low-budget, independent feature. Think·
ing back to big budget gay efforts like
Making Loue or Partners makes one
cringe at the thought of a major studio
production about something like AIDS.
Instead, direct.or Arthur Bressnn,Jr., pres·
ents us with a stark, two-character relationohip
that cuts right to the heart of the
matt.er.
Buddies is a very simple film on almost
every level, concentrating on the growing
friendship between two gay men. One is
Robert Willow, a bedridden AIDS patient
dealing with the fears of an unknown disease.
His assigned "buddy" is Daniel Ben·
nett, who doesn't realize the emotional
strain he is going to put himself through.
When the two first meet, the situation is
strained because they are very different.
Robert is politically outspoken, very forward,
and often demanding. David, on the
other hand, is shy and inward. He tells his
lover at home that Robert is "not exactly
what he thought an AIDS victim would be
like."
Slowly, the two men grow to love and
respect. each other through daily visits.
The dhtrussions become franker and more
personal as Robert and David lower their
barriers of fear and doubt. They watrh
erotic movies together, argue about politics,
and share thoughts on the men they
have loved in their lives.
In a very tender and moving way,Bu&
dies makes a quiet statement about how
the gay community must react to a crisis.
Beyond the research, the funding, and the
political aspects, there is something much
more important-care and understand·
ing. David end Robert's relationship is a
shining example of how we can all really
give of ourselves.
Of course, dealing with AIDS victims
has many drawbacks, too. David must
emotionally deal with the fact that Robert
will die. It's difficult to commit yourself to
become close to someone you know will
slip away soon. Yet, in theend we may all
be better persons as we deal closely with
the effects of AIDS and even death.
Arthur Bressan, Jr. is a director/ wri ~
ter I producer who felt like the time was
right to deal calmly with the hysteria and
prejudice sweeping the country. Filmed in
nine days after five weeks rehearsal, most
of the film takes place in a stark, white
hospital room. While there are moments of
happiness and pleBBure, the overall mood
of the film is serious and oft.en depressing.
I'm sure many people will leave Buddies
saying that it sure was a downer. Yet, you
need to think back through the mm and
ask yourself what it means for you. Will
you abandon your friends who have AIDS,
or neglect to become a volunteer because
you "just couldn't handle it?"
Jn the end, the only people who ere
going to really get. us through this crisis
are the brothers and sisters who are about
the community and its people. Buddies
shows us how our meager efforts can bring
happiness to thoRewhohavelosthope. It's
time for the gay community to stop whin-ing
about what others aren't doing and
pitch in with love and understanding
themselves.
Buddies will be shown at the River Oaks
Theater on Feb. 5 and 6 1Wedn .. day and
Thursday) at 5:45, 7:30 and 9:15.
o Murphy's Romance
Director Martin Ritt hu always specialized
in small, character-oriented films like
Sounder, Norma Rae. and Crms Creek.
His newe'"t feature, Murphy's Romance,
follows a similar pattern. concentrating
on two small town people who fall in love
very gradually.
Ritt's style is slow and old-fashioned in
the strictest sense, concentrating less on
story end more on solid character develoi>ment.
The heroine is Emma Moriarty
(Sally Field), a fiesty, divorced mother
who is trying to begin a new life for her·
self. Her success on an Arizona ranch as a
horse trainer will come only through the
hard work of her and her son.
Unexpectantly, a man steps into her life
who is genuinely appealing. The widowed
town pharmacist Murphy Jones (James
Garner) becomes a helpful friend, but we
can see a romance blooming. Their friend·
ship is cautious, especially since he is old
enough to be her father
Of course, the ol' ex-husband shows up
on Emma's doorstep one day and wants to
light the fire again. Bobby Jack is the lazy
but cute type who never has a job or
money. Emma lets him stay, but surprisingly
doesn't give into his advances.
With Murphy hanging around the
ranch a lot (and staying for supper}, a hospitable
menage a'trois develops with
Emma and Bobby Jack. This is the moot
enjoyable part of the film, watching
Emma trying to decide what to do with
these men. Her ex-husband is irresistable
but basically a child who won't grow up.
He gets along great with his son, but she
realizes that he is not good for either one of
them.
Murphy uses tht subtle approach, sort
of "courting" her without her realizing it.
In fact, when Murphy announces his love
for Emma near the end of the movie, she
set>ms surprIBed. For a movie named.t\fur·
phy's Romanre, the romance for Murphy
is sure saved until the very end.
The beot way to de•cribe this film is
"cute."' The jokes are "polite," the charac·
ters are besicaJly likeable, and we know
exactly what is going to happen. Every·
thing is so nice and in place that we kind of
go with the flow, laughing and smiling at
even the corniest jokes.
As for Sally Field, I like her at the start
of the film when she really acts like a
tough ranch lady. Later on, her barriers
seem to break down fast. and her character
turned softer. Still, Sally is playing her
Places in the Heart role again and she
needs to move on to something else.
It's great to see James Garner on the
screen, although he basically plays James
Gamer. Brian Kerwin does a great job as
Bobby Jack, an unlikable guy who tries to
make a comeback. Emma's son Jake is
portrayed well by Corey Haim, a charming
13-year-old seen recently in First Born
and Silver Bullet.
I had my doubts that a film like this
could do well in today's market, but the
teens at a sneak preview loved it. Maybe
moviegoers are ready for more simple
filmo that don't boggle the mind with violence
and speciaJ effects. Murphy's Rom·
ance ia not a "great" film at all, but as
light entertainment it goes down pretty
good.

Dr. Didato's Personality Quiz
By Salvatore ~. lJidato, Ph.D.
N~w• America Syndicole
S~cial to Montro8' Voiee
It'• estimated that there are 5. 75 mil hon
Americans who are alcoholics and
another 5.75 mil1ion who are problem
drinkers. The U.S Department of Health
and Human Services reported in 1981 that
about half of all patients in hospitals have
aloohol-related disorders.
Many illnesses like diabetes. high blood
pressure and stomach ulcers are insidious,
and alcoholism, too, can occur gradually.
If you've noticed changes in your drink·
ing patterns lately, you might be slipping
into a drinking problem and not be aware
of iL The quiz ahead highlights a few of
the early warning signs of alcohol depen~
Can You Spot the Signs
of 'Creeping Alcoholism?'
dency. To find out if you might have a
problem brewing, answer each item ''yes"
or .. no." then read on for answers.
Do you.
l. Take a drink before going to a party
where you know liquor will be served''
2. Drink when blue?
3. Take a drink before a strei-;sful event?
4. Drink alone?
5. Drink more than your friends do?
6. Drink in the morning before going to
work or school?
7. Drink to steady your nerves?
8. Gulp your drinks?
9. Feel the necessity of having drinks at
certain times, i.e .• before lunch, dinner,
after work?
10. Ever drink to the point of feeling ill?
o Explanation
No nation is more health-conscious than
America and excessive use of alcohol is
our most prevalent health concern.
Authorities at the Menninger Foundation
(for psychiatry), Topeka, Kan .• believe
that most alcoholics have undiagnosed
mental disturbances.
These, of cou~e. profoundly affect
manv others in the victim's family circle.
AB a·n example of the price to be paid in
dollars alone, to say nothing of its toll in
human suffering, alcoholit1m costs the
American economy some$40billion annu·
ally.
Imbibing too much is a worldwide
dilemma and not restricted only to the U.S.
In 1976, both France and Russia declared
that alcoholism is their No. I public health
problem.
The gra:-1sroots organization MADD
(Mothers Against Drunk Driving) has
probably done more to publicize the misuse
of alcohol, within the few years of its
existence, than any other group. Its cam·
paigns are aimed primarily at teenagers
who drink and drive. To younger persons,
liquor is far and away the main substance
addiction, exceeding that of tobacco and
drugs.
Indeed, the age group from 17 to 25 consumes
proportionately far more
cigarettes, liquor and drugs than any
other age bracket and is a prime target of
those who peddle such products.
We hope our quiz is instructional. The
itPms are similar to those found on questi·
onnaires which test for problem drinking.
Your srorr may suggest that you might be
heading in the wrong direction.
Give yourself one point for each "yes"
answer. If your score is five or more, you
may have a budding problem with alcohol
and you should start right away to do
something about it, perhaps by seeking
professional help.
Beyond 'Collapse' of Nuclear Family
Blacks Turn Extended Family into Nationwide Safety Net
By Louia Freedberg
Pacific ~\'eu•s Seruice
SJWcial to th~ MontTOBI! Voice
For two decades policy-makers. ~eeking
for deeper causes of black poverty, have
made the disintegration of the black fam·
ily a nationitl etereotype.
Yet though cloee to half of all black fam·
ilies are headed by single parents, blacks
have a1so developed a different and more
reeihent etructure for warding off crises: a
strongly knit extended family often
spread from coast to coast.
And those networks ofrelatives survive
even though government has barely rec·
ognized their existence, much lees bol·
sle?"ed them with aid programs, many
researchers and family workers say.
Luanna Johnson (not her real name) is
17 and liv .. in Oakland, Calif., with her
parents-but her gTandmother's house in
the tiny Louisiana town of Natchitoches is
a kind of eecond home.
When ehe wu six she moved with her
parents from Louisiana to California
Five years later, when her parents' mar·
riage hit a rough spot, "the next thing I
knew I wae back with my grandmother,"
she recalls. One day her father called to
say she could come back to Oakland,
where Jackson stayed with her aunt for
about two months. until the two clashed
over discipline. She eventuaJly moved
back with her parents, who have reconciled.
But it is to her grandmother that Jack·
son turns during difficult times. "I just all
her when I'm feehng bad." she says. "I can
talk to her bettt>r than I can to my own
mother. •
Relatives living in far.flung places often
gather at the grandmother's house,
bought by her children. ''Everyone is close
to my grandmother." Jackson, now a high
school senior, is applying to colleges in
Louisiana.
Jackaon's experience is familiar to
1ocial workers and psychologists who
report that in black families more often
than white onee, if a child is having trou·
ble with echool or the law, if parents are
not getting along, or if a parent can no
longer take care of children, relatives atep
in to 611 the breach-even if they liveoutof
1tate.
get any funding for it, says Weiissbourd.
"One advantage black families have ...
is that having a family member take
care of one's children is not viewed
negatively"
Onf' advantage black families have,
says anthropologist Stack, is that having
a family member take care of one's children
is not viewed negatively. For blacks,
1'it'a not an insult or a proof of failure fora
kid to stay with an aunt. Parents know
that at some time they may have to take
care of the aunt's children."
Extended family networks may be
strengthened by the recent return of
blacks to southern states as economic con·
ditions in northern cities worsen. Between
1970 and 1980, 90,000 black adults and
children returned to North Carolina alone.
And modern technology, like buses, jets
and telephones, make it easier than ever
for black children to find a calm port
among relatives whenever a storm hits
home.
In 1965 Harvard sociologist Daniel P.
Moynihan (now a U.S. Senator) published
a report that set the tone for much blackoriented
policy to follow. Its central thesis:
" • the heart of the deterioration of the
failire of the Negro society is the deteriora·
lion of the family.''
But Moynihan and other sociologists
may have mistakenly focused on the tw<>parent
family as the standard measure of
family stability. Some researchers now
say that having a single parent does not
necessarily mean one is shut off from family
support.
"As people are poorer, families become
more valuable," says Carol Stack, an
anthropologist at Duke University end
author of All Our Kin, a widely acclaimed
study of black family networks in IJlinois.
"For the mOAt part the single parent is still
immersed in the extended family."
That "elaborated social structure" gives
a black child an e~sential "base of support,"
echoes sociologist Troy Duster of
the University of California at Berkeley
Extended family ties seem to be as
strong among middle class blacks as
among the poor. It is not unusual for more
affluent blacks in cities elsewhere to send
their children to the South for summer
vacations. or even to attend high school
"Families in the urban north see them·
selves as sateJhtes to the rural family,"
drawing "spiritual renewal" from rela·
tivee closer to the land, says Stack.
Stereotypes to the contrary, this endur·
ing extended family structure-born of the
ethic that blacks must take care of their
own-has actually lessened the burden
that blaclca place on the governmentspon·
sored eocial progTams.
Kin network. are a large reason why a
smaller percentage of black children are
placed in foster homes or put up for ado1>
tion than whites, and fewer older blacks
are placed in nursing homes.
Placing a child in foster homes can cost
the government nearly $100,000 from
infancy to adolescence, points out Dr.
Edward Zigler, Sterling Professor of Psy·
chology at Yale and former head of the
federal government's Children's Bureau.
"Sometimes what stands in the way of a
family member taking care of a child
might be $1000 to cover the cost of clothes
and an extra bed," he says.
That kind of aid is not to be found, how·
ever. "In terms of support for the extended
family, (federal assistance) is just non·
existent," says Bernice Weissbourd, preei·
dent of Family Focus, a Chicago-based
non·profit organization. "There has to be
a recognition that if families are going to
eupport themselves, they are going to
have to get some kind of help.
"A mother will get funding for day care
for her child, but if she puts the child into
the home of her own mother, Mhe doesn'•
When 17-year-old Tammy Kirk's par·
ents divorced five years ago, she went to
live with her aunt and then her sister
while her parents tried to decide who
should have custody of the children. The
Oakland senior now stays permanently
with her sister.
Kirk (not her real name) visits her
mother across town several times a week .
And her father, who moved to Dallas, calls
her three times a week at exactly 7:30 in
the evening. "Nobody better be on the
phone when he call•." Aside fTom that. she
says, "It's been a pretty good armngement.
and I'm not in the middle of som~
thing I don't want to be.''

Commentary
Things Have Changed at the 'Baths'
Safe Sex and Ethical Business
By Jack Campbell
Whm I opened the first Club Rath• in
C'IE>vf'land in 1965, I wanted to make sure
that there waH clean, honest and safe
space whE"re gay men could enjoy them·
selves. We were used to being forctad into
the mo t squalid arenas for sex before
ther. T wnntec" bright lights, spotkss
rooms and effirent and car ng mar.agemt
·nt.
Thut simple formula allowed me to succeed
and to expand my business across the
country. I'vemadeagood1ivingfrom Club
Baths. I haven't forgotten where that 1iv·
ing came from. I not only serve on six
national boards of gay and lesbianorgani·
zations, I've donated to many more. It's
not patting myself on the back to say that,
It's simply common sense that gay business
people should support gay causes.
That's especially true of my business
and the link it had for many years with the
gay activist movement. Sex was the core
issue, after all. And not just in legal terms.
If the society could force us to feel guilty
about our sexuality and underline that by
making us retreat to dirty bathrooms. dangerous
alleyways and anonymous tea
rooms, we could never aRsert our freedom
and our right to C'ivil liberties.
AlllS ha• ehanged a lot of things. It's
C('rtainly changed the prioritieA of most of
Letters
Changes Needed in
Mortgage Policies
From Loran E. Doss
It is em;y toeeewhy Montrose real estate is
a buyer's market (Voice, Jan. 24). MoHt
homes remain on the market without buyers
because financing is quite difficult for
single persons. For instance, a single per·
son who has a good income and employ·
ment history with a good credit record is
rejected h(>('ause most mortgage compan·
ies require that their clients be only married
coup)('8.
Just because a person is married C'er·
tainly doesn't make them a better risk.
With foreclosures at an all time high, it
is about time mortgage companies stop
operating on the illusion that only mar·
ried couples be considered as a good risk
When adequate financing is made available
to those persons who have an established
credit history whether married or
not, it would certainly mean a great drop
in the foredosure rate.
It is much better to sell to tho8e who
have a good credit hi.l';jtory than to thm1e
who have none at all. This only makes
good husiness sense.
Kroger Parking:
Customers Only
From Marty Payne
Manager. Kroger on Montrose
Customers are the only reason we exiRt!
And taking care of their needs is our No. I
priority.
We feel that insuring thatourcu~tomers
have a place to park is our responsibility
Due to the t"Xtremely limited spaces avail·
able, we have, at a great expense to us,
employed a full time lot attendant to
inform persons crossing the street to other
businesses that parking is for Kroger customers
only.
It is not our intention to offend anyone
but rather to assure that when they decide
the gay organizations I'm associated
with. It-obviom;ly..-has changed my bus·
iness.
Long hC'fore we saw anything Jike the
New York State cloBure of bar~ and baths,
I knt>w that thl' entire basis for my enter·
prise had to he altered. It wasn 'tjust a case
of good business, though I know cvnics
will sny it is. I've continualJy proven my
ronviction that husin("Ss has to ~ ethical
tr be smart
The result has been the formation of the
Club Body Centers. Those clubs in which I
own a controlling percentage are now red·
edicated to the new realities of gay men's
lives. The invitations to anonymous sexthe
glory holes. the orgy rooms-that we
once thought were arenas of personal
liberation-have gone. In their place are
complete weight training facilities. There
are eduC'ational materials on AIDS and
other gay subjects on prominent display.
The Club Rody Centers are available to
public health officials for educational pur,
poses.
Yes, the cubicles remain. It's important
that they do. The whole idea of gay libera·
tion was to free us to enjoy our bodies. We
have to listen to perRi8tent and real warn·
ings about our health crisis. But it's not
going to be healthy to becomecelibateorto
go hack to hating ourse]ves.
to go Krogering that they have a place to
park.
(Editor's Note: The preceding letter wa.t
solicited and ij; in response to a letter
which appeared in last week's Montrosr
Voice criticizing Kroger's parking lot
Hrcurity guard.)
Thanking the
A udit Committee
From the Board of the
KS/AIDS Foundation of Houston
On behalf of the Board of the KS! AIDS
Foundation of Houston, we would like (to)
express our deep appreciation toJoeTum·
Jinson and the audit Committee for their
hard work in the preparation of the report
to the community on the Foundation's
financial and managerial situation. We
realize it took many hours of volunteer
time and professional skills to prepare
such a document.
Two points of information which need to
be addressed regarding the press coverage
of the report are (1) the services of Joe
Tumlinson and the audit committee were
volunteer and were not paid for, and (2}the
computer mentioned as missing is in the
posse.ssion of the Foundation and has
been inventoried

Safe sex guidelines give us a way to be
cautious and responsbile and to go on with
our lives, celebrating our sexuality in our
special way
ThE>re's been one great problem. How to
~ommunicnte safe sex to the whole gay
ix>Pulation. Our press and our leaders
hnv(' dont• a good job, but there've been a
consistent and significant minority of
men whr weren't hearing the message.
That's how I came up with the idea of
Mr. Safe Sex. If I oould find a great hunk
who could get up on stage and ~how an
audirnce what pos~ibilities for good sex
still exist in our lives, I knew that I could
contribute the most significant piece of
education posRible to our movement.
Glen Swann fits the bill perfectly. This
humpy 6'2" pile of man with a body that
most gay men dream of has proven he
can get the guys in the baths to listen.
Believr me, when he's on stage, he has
their complete attention.
Glen's now pt>rformed in Europe. in
countleRs ritiea; and is working on a book
of his safe sex fantasies. I've seen how ht>
can capture the imaginations of men.
When he gets on stage and tells them to
follow along, the men are at his command.
I will continue to support our fights for
civil rights. I'll continue to make sure that
my businesset> are models for the rest of
of the Ventun.'-N staff and numerous
volunteers, we had a very successful day.
l would alt'o Jike to thank the communi·
ty'R prei-;R for the excellent coverage.

Evay is an

·ence
Thats because no other publication in the world covers the news of your
neighborhood-Montrose-as thoroughly as the Montrose Voice. In fact. no
other publication in the world has even a SINGLE journalist assigned fulltime to
Montrose. Not the Post. not the Chronicle. not lWL not the Forum. not Inner View.
not Town.
Each of those other publications have their own attributes But Montrose news is
not one of them. Montrose news is what we do better than anyone else. with
THREE fulltime journalists (Linda Wyche. Connie Woods and Pete Diamond) who
report only on the news of Montrose.
And partly because of our extensive news coverage. the Montrose Voice leads
all other publications in Montrose circulation-by thousands and thousands.
The Voice now distributes 12.000 copies each Friday in Montrose-reaching an
estimated 33.000 readers. Thats thousands more than any of the other local
community publications. It's even more circulation-per issue-in Montrose
than the Post or Chronicle.
