Abandoned Buildings Draw Ire
of Civic, Business Groups
By Sheri Cohen Darbonne
Montrose Voice
Following what Houston Fire Department
arson investigators say is the fifth
suspicious fire in a few weeks time to
start in a vacant building on lower Westheimer,
representatives of local business
and homeowner organizations are
waging war against negligent property
owners and non-responsive city agen·
cies they say are carelessly allowing the
hazardous open buildings to proliferate
in the neighborhood.
A house at 203 Westheimer, the
former site of an Oriental "modeling
studio," burned for the second time in
less than three weeks Monday afternoon,
Feb. 9. Fire engines and other
emergency vehicles blocked access via
Westheimer to the Southwest Freeway
Milam ramp and the downtown corridor
for over three hours.
The house and a nearby building at
108 Westheimer, also vacant, were the
scene of two fires which started separately
on Jan. 14, according to arson
investigators. Five lower Westheimer
arson cases are currently being investigated,
and the fire department has not
found reliable evidence to connect the
fires, investigator Butch Lewis said.
Fires in vacant buildings are usua1ly
considered arson because, in the
absf:'nce of electricity and appliances,
there is generaJly no other reason for a
fire to start, Lewis said.
Open buildings on lower Westheimer
pose a particular hazard because of the
number of transients in the area, Lewis
noted.
Local attorney Sharon Weintraub
approached the Neartown Businss
Alliance Wednesday, Feb. 11, urging
support of an aggressive letter-writing
campaign intended to "scare" owners of
potentially dangerous buildings into
c1eaning up and boarding up their properties
as required by city ordinance.
Weintraub spoke as a representative
of "The Coalition of Montrose Organizations,"
an action group inc1uding
members of NBA, The Greater Mont·
rose Business Guild and two area resi·
dent organizations, Neartown
Association and the Avondale Association.
The coalition had drafted a letter several
weeks earlier, urging property
owners to take action within 10 days to
bring their property into compliance
with the laws and warning that owners
have been held liable for criminal acts
occurring in unsecured buildings, Wein
traub said. She added, however, that
she did not feel the letter should be sent
out until the neighborhood groups
decided on a definite follow-up plan of
action .
Gail Ramsey, who at first suggested
the NBA endorse the letter and facilitate
its immediate mailout, withdrew
her motion on the condition that the
coalition or a special committee meet to
discuss action on the letter prior to the
next atliance meeting in March.
"Oth(.•rwifie, I withdraw under pro·
test," Ramfiey stated. "We have be(.•n
fooling
around with this (vacant building issue)
for the past six months, and if we don't
do something now, thrrf.' will jut;t b<•
more buildings burning until next
month."
.John Daniel told members ho had
spoken with Luke London of the Houston
Department of Public Works, who
he deRCribed as the city contacl for dan·
gerous buildings in the Montrose area.
London assured him he would get
involved in investigating specific cases
of hazardous conditions if they are prop·
erly reported and documented, Daniel
said.
Daniel agreed to invite London to the
March 11 NBA meeting.
A major problem exists in contacting
the owners of abandoned, burnt-out
buildings as complete, up-to-date
records of the property holders seem to
lw rare or non-existent. Many of the
properti(>s have changed hands many
times, and some owners are foreign corporations
or individuals who cannot be
traced. Even the police and fire departments
do not have complete Iist.S of the
owners.
"We have a partial list, that's all,"
Sgt. O.V. Williams, supervisor of the
Neartown Police Community Center,
said. "We have a lot of problems with
these vacant buildings when vagrants
break in or go into an open building.
Officers go in and chase them out, but
they come right back when the officers
leave," he explained.
"If we could contact the owners, we
can put these vagrants in jail," Williams
said, noting that many would stay
there because they would not be able to
pay the $800 bond for criminal trespassing.
"But they can only be arrested with
the owner's permission _ .. if we can't
contact the owners, there's nothing we
can do."
L.ewis said the arson investigators
working on the recent lower Westheimer
fires don't know who owns the property
at 203 Westheimer.
Vernon Black, administrator of the
Houston Health Department's Office of
Housing Conservation, which enforces
many of the building ordinances, said it
is not difficult to use count} tax records
to determine who is paying t.lxes on the
property. Delays are due to the fact that
evf.'ry mortage holder, lien holder, and
anyone else with a possible interest in
the property must be notified beforf:'any
action can be taken, he said. ft is these
"owners" who are sometimes hard to
find, and this is one reason it takes time
to respond to dangerous building complaints,
according to the administrator
"The dty must allow due process to
(.•veryone with an interest. Otherwise,
we're liable to suit subsequent to a
demolition by someonesayingtheywer·
en't notified." Black said.
Terry Phillips, who works in the office
of City Councilman George Greanias,
said complaints received by Greanias
are turned over to the health depart·
ment for investigation.
"The first step is to ask the owner to
board it up. If that doesn't work, the
owner may be ticketed," Phillips said.
Phillips cited financial constraints of
the city and the escalating rate of property
abandonment in Montrose as other
reasons for the continuing problem.
"We have only a certain number of
men who tear down buildings . . they
are literally being abandoned faster
than we can tear them down," Phillips
said.
Getting permission to tear down a
building is cumbersome because of the
legal restrictions, he added.
Black said there are currently at least
2.5 cases of code violations in some stage
of investigation in the Montrose area.
But neighborhood forces insist the
city is unnecessarily sluggish in enforcing
its own laws when it comes to
vacant Montrose buildings.
Warren Duncanson, a member of the
Avondale Association, said he is
"spearheading'' a group of neighborhood
property owners who are investigating
the legal possibility of filing
class action suits against negligent
holders. Duncanson said the area's
"ghetto look" due to the abandoned
properties has made it impossible for
him to lease out a retail space he owns
on Westheimer. Other property owners
have had similar problems leasing or
selling what would otherwise be considered
good locations for new business,
he said.

Coping with Our
Society's New Idols
The Innocent Bystander
By Arthur Hoppe
My daughter, Malphasia, came down to
breakfast wearing high heels, a strapless,
sequinned gown and a toothy
smile. She looked at me, waved and
clapped her hands. "Bye-bye," she said.
Ah, parental decisions.
I couldn't de-cide
whether to comment
first on her
costume or her
greeting. "I'm practicing
for my career,"
she explained.
"As a dysfunctional
lady of the
evf'ning?" I inquired.
"No, Daddy," she said, "a• the next
Vanna White."
Six months ago, I might have asked
who Vanna White was, but she has
since appeared on the covers of both
People and Newsweek. From scanning
the pictures in the former and the text in
the latt•r, I now know that Miss Whit<' ts
a pretty, charming, talentless airhead
who has become a national celebrity by
turning over letters on a quiz show
called, "Wheel of Fortune."
So I wasn't surprised when Malpha·
sia slunk sexily over to the calendar on
the wall and turned the page-annoyed,
but not surprised. "It isn't March yet," I
growled, "and why are you pointing at
that gargage compactor?"
" I have to practice pointing to the
prizes, too," said Malphasia. "There's
lots to this job."
"That compactor's no prize, believe
me," I said. "And don't talk with your
mouth full of English muffin. You'll
never be a television star if you don't
learn to emote properly."
"Vanna doesn't talk at all," said Malphasia,
"except to say, 'Bye-bye.' That's
why everyone's so excited by the title of
her new autobiography , 'Vanna
Speaks.'"
"If that's her worst fear, she must be
either very secure or very uninformed,"
I said. "Of course, one probably goes
with the other."
"And she reveals her secret recipe for
Lasagna a la Vanna," continued Mal·
phasia, who never pays any attention to
my aphorisms. "It's no wonder her pub·
hsht•r gave her a $250,000 advance."
Considering that's 50 times more
than any publisher ever gave me, I
thought I took the news with mature
stoicism. "Are you out of your mind
emulating an empty-headed bird brain?"
I shouted. "What will it get
you?"
"Rich," said Malphasia. And with a
big smile and a little wave, she chi riled
"Bye-bye" and flounced up the stairs.
I took my umbrage out in the backyard
where my dear wife, Glynda, was
trimming the pyracantha. "What kind
of a society are we living in ," I
demanded, "that worships shallow glitz
and surface glamour and doesn't care a
whit that their idols have no more intel ligence
than a flea?"
"Now, now, dear," said Glynda, "I'm
sure Malphasia will turn out just fine ."
"But she's betrayed the entire sexual
revolution and the sexual equality that
her sisters marched and sued and picketed
for," I said. "Even in this society,
what position of importance can she
ever hope to aspire to if she relies soley
on mindless charm?"
Glynda lopped off an errant branch
with a single deft snick. "The presidency?"
she said.

.. Hearings Predicted on National Gay
Civil Rights Bill
From a Human Riahts Campaign Fund Press Release
With a record 50 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and six members of the U.S
Senate co-sponsonng the Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights Bill this year, the climate appears to
be favorable for actual committee hearings on the bills during the 100th Congress
The House bill was introduced as HR 709 on Jan_ 21 by Rep Ted Weiss (0.-N Y.) . The
Senate's version of the bill, S. 464, was introduced on Feb. 4 by Sen Alan Cranston
(0.-Calif_) Joining Sen. Cranston as original co-sponsors were Senators Kennedy (D -
Mass), Kerry (0.-Maine) , Moynihan (0 .-N Y.), We1cker (A -Conn) and Inouye (0 -Hawaii) .
·we've worked long and hard with Rep. Weiss and Sen. Cranston to get this many
co-sponsors," said Vic Basile. executive director of the Human Rights Campaign Fund
HRCF describes itself as a national political action and education committee of the gay and
lesbian community and has made passage of the civil rights bill a major focus of its political
activities for the past six years
Hearings on the House version would afford supporters and opponents an opportunity to
go on record with their positions on the leg1slat1on. For the gay and lesbian community, this
means a very htgh profile forum in which to present evidence and arguments on behalf of
their need for civil rights protection. For their opponents. it necessitates bringing bias and
prejudice out of the closet and putting them on record
Almost all of the co-sponsors of both bdls were recipients of contributions from the
Human Rights Campaign Fund in last November's election_ Contributions from the campaign
fund are contingent on a candidate's promise to support the civil rights bill
Basile predicts that a record number of members of Congress will sign onto both bills as
the year progresses To help make that happen, he asks members of the gay and lesbian
community, as well as others supportive of the bills, to wnte their representatives and
senators and urge them to support the bills
Members of the House may be reached by writing them (with ''The Honorable" preceding
their name) at the U.S. House of Representatives. Washington DC. 20515 Members of the
Senate may be reached by wnting them (with ''The Honorable'' preceding their name) at the

Condom Ads Are Only a First Step
Time Has Come for Television Blitz on AIDS
Commentary by Neil Schram
PacifiC' News &n1iee
Whether TV networks should allow
advertisements about condoms is not
the issue.
The real problem is that such ads
don't go nearly far enough in rt>alizing
our most powerful medium's ability to
educate.
AIDS-related television advertising
should abound, its cost borne by the
goVf.•rnment, corpQrations, and the networks
themselves. Its content should be
detailed with advice about condoms, but
should not be left up to advertising
agencies for condom manufacturers
alone.
Unlike present condom ads, a new
batch of public service announcements
(PSAs) must explicitly and repeatedly
remind people that the AIDS virus is
spread by intercourse (anal or vagina])
and that condoms significantly reduce
that risk. Because of different populations
that must be reached, the term
"rubber" is likely to be needed as well as
the word condom.
Sharing injectable drug needles or
equipment is the other major way the
virus is spread and this must be broadcast
as well.
Given the moral concerns which presently
paralyze the networks, it would be
better to include advice on abHtaining
from sex as well as about condoms if
that is what is required to get the messages
on the air.
So far, the major networks and almo1;t
nil local stations, in an effort to avoid

vention is heing provided by debate on
news programs.
Unfortunately, that does not reach
most of the people who need to be
reached. One station in Minneapolis is
allowing advertisements for condoms
after 11 :30 p.m. Those ads certainly will
not be seen by most people who need to
be reached. Instead, PSAs about AIDS
dealing with condoms must run on pop·
ular TV shows like Cosby and Family
Ties. And they must be repeated frequently.
In Great Britain, information about
AIDS was mailed to all households in
the country by the government. Govern·
ments of other European countries have
funded television announcements
about AIDS and sex. That must happen
here. because AIDS is out of control.
Some two to four milJion Americans are
expected to become newly infected with
the AIDS virus in the next four to five
years.
For now, the rare local TV station
that permits ads for condoms represents
only a token gesture in this epidemic. It
should be seen only as an indication
that condoms can be mentioned. not as
a sign that significant education is
occurring
We need a television blitz on AIDS.
And we mu~t launch it now.

Sponsors Found for
Sodomy Law Repeal
By Sheri Cohen Darbonne
Montrose Voice
Texas Lesbian Gay RighL• Lobby now
has sponsors for a bill to repeal the state
sodomy statute, but lobbyist Glen
Maxey admits filing the legislation during
the ongoing session of the Texas
!.Rgislature will accomplish little more
than •·setting the tone" for future steps
toward decriminalization.
Maxey reported Wednesday, Feb. l l ,
that Sen. Craig Washington and Rep.
Debra Dan burg of Houston, Rep. David
Cain of Dallas. and Rep. l..<>na Guerrerro
of Austin, had agreed to spon8or
the bill, which calls for outright rep•al
of 21.06. All four legislators are Demo·
rratA. Three additional spomwrs from
Business
Alliance
Endorses
Neartown
Assoc. Plan
Ry Sheri Cohen Darbonne
Members of the Neartown Bm1inl'sH
Alliance voted to endorse Neartown
Asso<:iation 's comprehensive planning
project, noting that the endorsement did
not constitute acceptance of the group's
neighborhood plan, which is not yet
complete.
"We aren't at the stage of making any
recommendations yet," Jill Hefner, a
member of the homeowner group's plan·
ning committee, said."What we're ask·
ing for is an endorsement of the process
we've undertaken."
Hefner and two other committee
members, Tom Minor and Chuck Dalley,
who is also a planner with the City
of Houston Office of Planning and
Development, displayed a map pre·
pared by Neart.own Association volun·
teers who have been conducting a land
use survey of the Montrose area. The
map color codes area land use patterns
m classifications.
The ultimate goal of the survey is to
develop a "master plan" to enable the
association to work with property
owners and developers in promoting a
type of development "that is good for
the neighborhood," Hefner stated.
H<'fner said her group was interested
in preserving certain unqiue character·
istics of Montrose, such as its mixed-use
environment, dense population and
pedestrian orientation. Characteristics
of an individual neighborhood can be
overlooked in the large·scale, general
neighborhood plans proposed by the
city, she noted.
Another reason for the research was
to estahli.sh a basis for determining
future projects oftheassocation, Hefner
said Tht• group will be able to use the
information when presenting capital
improv(•mrnt projects to the city, she
added.
The business a11iance's endorsement
was sought because Neartown Association
wanted to list the group's name on u
hrochure designed to explain the planning
project to the public. Participation
by the business group would also dem·
onstrate a more united community sup
port, Hefner said
The committee members agreed to
indude a representative of the Neartown
Business Alliance on the planning
committee.
the House of Representatives are
expected, but have yet to confirm, and
the lobby is seeking another sponsor in
the Senate, Maxey said.
"We know we don't have the votes to
pass this bill, and quite frankly, we
really don't even want a vote on it this
session ," Maxey commented. The pur·
pose of introducing the legislation, he
said, was to "desensitize the issue"
before members of the legislature, and
to make the legislators aware that gays
are going to push for decriminalization
in future se~sions
Maxey called educating the legislators.
even thm;e sensitive to gay i.o:.;!.;ues.
"a long, arduous process."
"A numborofmembers (of the legislature)
are saying, 'are you sure this is
what you want to do?'" Maxey said.
l.Rgislators have warned the lobbyists
that pushing an outright repeal hill
could result in a backlash against the
gay community, he noted.
However, after speaking with attor·
neys about possible alternative ways to
approach the issue, such as couching
the repeal within a more general pri·
vacy bill, Maxey said the lobby most
likely will file specifically for decriminalization.
"Everyone is going to see right
through that (general legislation)," he
said. The legislature will never "get to
the point" regarding 21.06 unless com·
munity leadership takes a pro-active
stance and boldly pursues its ultimate
goal , he added.
Regarding negative legislation,
Maxey said that no negative bills dealing
with gay issues have been filed. He
noted, however, that the filing deadline
is not until mid-March and that the
major filing crunch is yet to come.
"Only about 700 bills have been filed
so far. We're expecting about four times
that many," Maxey said.
Also, last-minute amendments could
pose a "tremendously dangerous situation,"
as bills considered. "good" could
be made negative by amendment,
Maxey pointed out.
One piece of legislation posing a
potential amendment threat is the Communicable
Disease Act supported by the
Texas Department of Health.
"The key is to make the sponsors
understand the importance of not
accepting an amendment," Maxey said,
noting that the TOH is so strong on the
package proposal that it might be
inclined to accept an amendment.
Maxey said he is convinced that the
bill's co-sponsors, Sen. Ray Farabee
and Rep. Nancy McDonald, understand
the issues well enough to kill the legislation
if an unacceptable amendment is
attached.
TLGRL also hopes to file several bills
dealing with AIDS issues next week,
Maxey said. The lobby is presently
working with public health lobbying
groups in attempts to garner positive
support for the legislation.
The proposals include a general anti·
discrimination bill; a bill dealing with
informed consent for HIV testing; confi·
dentiality of medical records; prohibition
of using the HIV antibody test as a
required determinant for obtaining
insurance; and prohibition of the test
being required by a third party for other
purposes (such as housing or employ·
ment).
The bills are being filed separately in
case individual areas draw opposition,
Maxey said.

Judge
Considers
Restraining
Order Against
Hospital in
AIDS Suit
TYLER (UPI)-A federal iudge has
taken under advisement a request for a
temporary restraining order against
Mother Francis Hospital, which is
accused of discriminating against an
employee who has AIDS.
Mark Bible, director of anesthesia at
the hospital, last week filed a $1 million
suit. He claims that when the hospital
found out about his condition, it cut his
salary and restricted his duties.
On Wednesday, Feb. II, U.S. District
Judge Robert Parker, who took over the
case when U.S. District Judge William
Wayne Justice disqualified himself earlier
this week, scheduled a March 9 hear·
ing on Bible's request for a temporary
restraining order
Glen Maxey of the Lesbian , Gay
Rights Lobby in Austin said Tuesday,
Feb. 10. Bible's is the first case to his
knowledge of a health care worker in
Texas challenging an employer over
alleged AIDS discrimination.
Bible sued the Tyler hospital where he
hns worked since July 1984, MargaretS.
Ht"ath, an a~sistant vice president and
Bible's immediate supervisor and Ray
Thompson, the hospital's assistant
executive administrator.
The lawsuit says Bible was diagnosed
as having AIDS when he was treated at
Mother Francis Hosptial for pneumonia.
but his doctor authorized his return
to work without restrictions on Oct. 6.
The suit alleges that hospital officials
told Bible they had learned of his condi·
tion and ordered him to confine himself
to managerial duties.
On three separate occasions, Bible
wai;; reprimanded for participating in
patient-related activities, including a
three-<lay SU8pension without pay.
He also said his desk was moved to a
different part of the hospital in an effort
to isolate him.
Bible claims he was informed Nov. 14.
that as of Feb. I, his salary would be cut
approximately in half.
The law•uit alleges that the hospital
officials invaded Bible's privacy my
misusing his confidential medical
records and discriminated against him
because of his illness.
Bible's lawyers have asked the court
to award unspecified damages and
court costs as well as to order the hospital
to reinstate Bible to his position as
director of anesthesia at his former
salary.

Dallas Parks
Director
Cha rged in
Men's Room
Incident
DALLAS (UP!)-The director of the
Dallas Parks and Recreation Depart·
ment has been charged with disorderly
conduct following a sexual enc0unter in
a men's room at a city park, police said.
Jack Robinson, 55, and a man who
identified himself as Gary Evans fled
from police officer Bobby Heddin in
Northlake Park after he found them
partially undressed in the bathroom,
police spokesman Bob Shaw said Wednesday,
Feb. 11.
Both men have been charged with dis·
orderly conduct. Evading arrest
charges against both have been referred
by the district attorney's office to a
grand jury, Shaw said.
The police report says the men gave
their names to Heddin, who recognized
Robinson, but fled in different direc·
lions when he asked them to walk with
him to his patrol car.
Suspension
Seen as Quite a
Drag
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPl)-A 17-year-old
youth says he has been susp•nded
unfairly from high school-because he
wore a gold dress, high heels, lipstick, a
wig and earrings to a basketball game.
"! don't skip classes. I don't talk
smart to teachers. I don't think I should
be suspended for what I wear," Ronald
Cox said Tuesday, Feb. 10.
But Dorsey Patterson. principal of
Booker T. Washington High School
thinks differently. '
Patterson said Cox caused quite a stir
when he attended the school's basket·
hall game Friday night in women 's
attire.

The Ensemble Remembers Slavery
Review by Bill O'Rourke
Montrosr Voicf'
To make Do L-Ord, Remember Me (The
Ensemble), playwright James de Jongh
took recorded interviews with black
men and women in their eighties and
nineties. He excerpted the best, most
representative stories and then molded
them into some dramatic unity.
This is basicalJy the same process
with which A Chorus Line was written
about Broadway dancers. It has
resulted in the same rich, quiet, quasi·
psyche.
While the violence is never far
beneath the surface, these tales also go
into detail about the everyday and even
the happy times blacks were able to
achieve under this harsh system.

huge budget deficit. All arts appropriations

British Airline
Must Hire Men
LONDON (UPl)-Dan Air, which flies
to British, European and Mideast destinations,
denied a charge by the
government-funded Equal Opporunities
Commission Monday, Feb. 9, that
Dan had justified its women-only policy
on the grounds that 30 percent of men
seeking jobs as flight stewards were
homosexual.
According to the commission, Dan
Air said it believed cabin staff were
"sexually promiscuous" and that homo·
sexual men would pose "a danger to the
health and safety of passengers, and
existing employees."
Dan Air, which employs seven female
pilots, denied in a statement it ever
claimed its cabin staffs were promiscuous,
but said it already had voluntarily
changed its "women only" policy as a
result of the commission's investiga
tion. It said it was planning to recruit
about 20 men to work as flight attendants.
The airline said it had hired only
women for the 1000 available cabin jobs
because their customers like "a bit of
glamour" and preferred them to men.
According to the commission, the alr·
line had held that AIDS was associated
with homosexual men, that it could be
transmitted by blood and saliva and
therefore passed on to or from pas·
sengers when staff cut themselves at
work or when passengers required arti·
ficial resuscitation.
The commission, set up to monitor
Britain's 12·year.old act outlawing sex
discrimination in the workplace, said
that on medical advice it dismissed Dan
Air's case and ordered it to change its
hiring practices and to employ male
robin attendants on an equal basis with
women.

Suspense, Mundane Morality
Review by Bill O'Rourke
Montroae Voice
o Black Widow
Black Widou· 1s a very stylish detective
.story. It's not a who-done-it. We know
whom right from the beginning. So does
the police woman. Once she notices that
the method i~ suspiciously the same
between several similar deaths. the only
other link ls the mysterious lady
The detective befnends her to find
out. But that lifestyle is so seductive
that she becomes swept up into it. She
finds she loves the sensuality, the glamour,
the passion. And the man who is
slated to be the next victim.
It doesn't look like she can save him.
In fact, she's being systematically
framed for his death . Even should she
be able to escape, will she ever be the
same person again? Will any of us? The
ever·enduring human black widow will.
Catharine (Theresa Russell, center) ensnares Alex (Debra Winger) in a
deadly game u·hen she introduces her to her next victim, a millionaire
named Paul !Sam1 Frey), in "Black Widow"
We know how she does it. She administers
poison in such an ingenious way
that the victims always die while she is
out of town and they are off-screen.
That's class
What intrigues the investigator,
played by Debra Winger. and all the rest
of us ib why she does it. Not in the way
that is fairly obvious-for the money.
But what is this murderess, played by
Theresa Rus:sell, feeling? What makes
her tick?
She romances, marries and beds all of
these men before she kills them. She
really does seem to care for them. She
surely has enough money in that Swiss
bank account by now. Yet she feels she
will be doing this for many years to
come. What is so addictive about this
kind of relationship?
It seems like she will be the same
enigma forver The filmmakers give us
an emotional understanding for her, but
they never make the mistake of trying to
reduce her to words.
Director Bob Rsfelson and director of
photography Conrad L. Hall shot a lot
of this film in gorgeous locations-the
mountains around Seattle and the black
sand beaches and erupting volcanoes of
Hawaii. Production designer Gene Callahan
had the indoor scenes lit stunningly.
All of that style combines well
with the substance of Ronald Bass'
script to give us a true edge-of-the-seat
adult thriller
o Light of Day
There was once a movie about a young
Lincoln Hau·k fS)'ll'ester Stallone) pits his ability and u·ill to u·in against
'Bull" Hurley /Rick Zumu:alt) in a match that u·ill determine the World
Armu:restling Champwn in "Ouer the Top"
female rock singer in Cleveland. She
was involved with a young male who
upheld the traditional values in the face
of that city's grinding, redneck poverty.
The movie became a comic send-up of
old invaders from space horror movies .
It was a flop called Hou:ard the Duck.
Now Joan Jett is playing a young
female rock singer from Cleveland in
Light of Day. The only family member
she feels can even begin to understand
her is her younger brother, played by
Michael J Fox.
Because of the trauma of giving birth
out of wedlock , she has developed a live
only for the moment philosophy. So he
is really the only man she has any kind
of an ongoing relationship.
He stands firmly for traditional
values: family and responsibility. He
tries very hard to reconcile her with
their born-again mother (played by
Gena Rowlands). But when his sister
goes too far for even him to forgive, he
kidnaps her son (cute little Billy Sullivan)
to give him a proper upbringing.
Because it extols the virtues of people
living in poverty, this movie stays true
to its surrondings. Director Paul
Schrader has relentessly driven to the
heart of lower-middle class mediocrity.
The movie has an overwhelming
mood-dreariness.
The music (and there is a lot of it) is all
really good rock. They're all really down
songs. I didn't even feel emotionally
uplifted or inspired at the meaningful,
happy ending. It was only a return to
dealing steadfastly with a boring life.
I can easily see this movie as a hit
among the art houses. But as a commercial
release, I don't think it's going anywhere.
By then, I've been wrong in Cleveland
before.

Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 98% growth rate from 1984-
1995.
The job responsibilities of a Paralegal are as wide and varied as
the law firm, corporation, agency or legal office in which he/she
may_ work. In all cases, Professional Paralegals increase the
eff1c1ency of the office and decrease a client's costs.
Of course, the better and more thorough training acquired, the
more s_1gn1f1cant the_ role will be as a member of a professional team
delivering legal services. That's why Career Institutes' program is
taught by lawyers and Paralegals. This teaching approach produces

Valentine's Weekend and Our
Hearts Belong to Montrose
Around Town by Elroy Forbes
Montrose Voice Social Director
o Friday the 13th
It's here, Friday the 13th! And we get
another one in March. For those too
superstitious to go out, Channel 13 is
running "Friday the 13th" weekend
movies just for you.
We also have some birthday people.
Larry Frazier of the Venture-N says
it's fun to play Count Dracula without
any teeth. Rock 'n Horse's Darlene
RPt ... v Stet'" and R£•ck.v
says, "each year my bust keeps getting
bigger." Man about town Troy Maniard
says nothing at all. Darlene informed
me that Boobie Rock, like the Phoenix,
will rise again. This time the Westheimer
nightspot will be Club
Rendezvous.
At any rate, take care, it is Friday the
13th.
o Good News for Robin
It was a long, but a great, show. Becky
and Betsy pulled out all the stops to host
Robin Gibson's benefit at The Ranch.
There were half price specials, tons of
people, and many costumes. Everyone
was there: Ed, Marty, Francine, Chuck
Ditsy, Mike, Buddy, Gene, Leon, Time'.
less Taffeta's John and Dauid, Walter
Strickler, Steue Shimer, Buzz, John
Rene, and Ted. '
Artist.a David Sims, Maurice Davis
and 1 donated paintings for the door
prize along with Diamond M's festive
hat, shirt, handmade belt and many
other wonderful things.
A delegation from Jolly Rogers,
The Colts, TGRA, Happy Hour Daddys
Revue and most everyone Robin
has worked with were represented. "ft
was a wonderful benefit," Ron Sioux
and Patsy Kline mentioned, "because
Robin was not only able to be there, but
performed."
There were many great moments. Th<'
Ranch's Jimmy performed. The Whore
House Girls did "Leader of the Pack,"
"Lollipop" and may other fun '50s tunes
and brought down the house. Miss Lila
did her own exotic strip that brought
back many memories.
But the vision of Robin in magnificent
silver gray gown brought tears and
many to their feet. Everyone worked
well and long on this outstanding show.
Even Babs Monroe, Robby Roberts and
many other legends performed and
brought the total up to $1,316.80.
Thank you Robin for all that you have
given to our community. Those who
wish to contribute may mail checks
made out to Robin Gibson, in care of

The Galleon's Jay Allen was so
swept away by the ~ast that he invited
them over to The Spindletop for cocktails
and later to the Galleon. Some
$15,000 was grossed at the Alley and
many people gave additional money.

Dementia An
Early Sign
of AIDS
United Press International
The first and sometimes only sign that a
person has AIDS is not an infection but
a neurological problem, researchers
report.
AIDS dementia, a complex of neurological,
motor and behavior problems,
often appear in patients before any of
the opportunistic infections that result
from AIDS, said Dr. Bradford Navia.
Furthermore, Navia wrote in the
American Medical Association's
Archives of Neurology, many AIDS
patients with dementia never develop
other infections despite having no
immune system to fight them.
Navia, of the Memorial SloanKettering
Cancer Center in New York,
described 29 cases of patients at risk for
AIDS who exhibited dementia either
before or in the absence of other AIDS
symptoms. Upon further examination,
six were otherwise healthy and the test
exhibited a mild fonn of AIDS-related
complex.
"Over half of these patients," Navia
said, "either survived for five to 16
months or died without exhibiting systematic
manifestations of AIDS."
