Robbery, then
stealing victim's
car, happening
frequently in
Montrose
By Johannes Stahl
Robberies by a group of black males who
hijack their victim's vehicle at knife point
have been reported frequently in the Montrose
area in recent weeks, said Homicide
Detective Sgt. John Donovan.
The group has been reported to police as
often riding bicycles, he said.
"We've got ... under surveiUance, but we

He urged anyone with information concerning
such robberies to contact Detective
John Moore at Houston Police

Victims of
Midnite Sun
shooting in
improved
condition
By Johannes Stahl
Both victims of an August 5 shooting in
front of the Midnite Sun, 534 Westheimer,
had impro.Jed, as of 12 days later, hospital
and poHce officials said. •
Michael Green, 27, was discharged from
Ben Taub Hospital August 7 and Nathan
Simpson Jr., 21 , was transfered to Jefferson
Davis Hospital, according to officials
at Ben Taub.
uwe're working on leads," said Sgt.
John Donovan, Houston Police homicide
detective.
The information coming from the two
victims is not complete and they're not
being cooperative, he said. He attributes
the lack of cooperation to the fact that
"Both of them have been booked down
here (Houston Police Department)."
A gunman fired five times into a crowd
standing in front of the Midnite Sun, injuting
Simpson cr itically and Green
seriously. Simpson received three gunshot
wounds in the chest and Green was shot
once in the neck and again in the leg.
The gunman was seen by a witness
before and after the shooting. She
described the man as a white male in his
early 20s, 5'6", and weighing between 115
and 125 pounds. The witness said the man
had shoulder-length hair and might be
Hispanic with a slim build.
The gunman drove a vehicle described
as a small foreign stationwagon. The car
was an older model with faded white
paint.
Police recovered a spent .12 guage shotgun
shell in the alley between the Chicken
Coop, 535 Westheimer, and the adjacent
building east of the bar.
Donovan asked that anyone with other
information concerning the incident contact

from 9:00 a.m. to dusk.

or brought to the Westheimer Colony
Association office. Posters should be

more than three colors, with black
included as a color. An award of$500 is to
be presented for the best poster design submitted.
The poster is to be used to annonce
the Fall Westheimer Colony Art Festival.
After an extensive campaign by
members of the Association to secure the
closini; ofWestheimer from Bagby to Montrose
during the two-day festival, an ordinance
was passed to close the street by an
unanimous vote of City Council for the
1982 Spring Festival.
The association said it feels certain the
street will be closed again for the Fall
Festival.
Shrink Says
Americans
Aren't
Guilty Enough
Just when you thought you'd conquered
all those guilt complexes, along comes a
Philadelphia psychologist who thinks
maybe you should feel guilty.
Edward Fish, according to the San Jose
(Calif.) Mercury, says too many Americans
are equating guilt with hangups, and
spend a lot of time trying to overcome it.
That can be wrong, he says.
There are plenty of people who suffer
guilt for things they've never done, but
lately he's seen lots more people who don't
feel guilty when they should.
Those people, he says, can lie, cheat and
do others in without batting an eyelash.
Fiah says guilt is appropriate when you've
done something wrong-it's nature's way
of teaching you not to repeat the action.
Coke is Thin
A Canadian physiologist has come up
with a diet that's sure to please junk food
freaks, reports Vegetarian Times.
The weight-loss secret: drink two or
three colas a day. All that caffeine and
sugar supposedly helps burn off fat-and
may even prevent colds.

Next week in the Voice:
An exclusive interview
with Mayor Whitmire
By Richard Primavera
Via Gay PreH Asaociation Wire Service
Regardless of the legal issues surrounding
a damage suite filed Monday August 9,
1982 by the International and U.S. Olympic
Committees (IOC and USOC), this
action provides important new evidence
that homooexuality and the rights of gay
men and leRbiane are subjects of unprecendented
interest and concern in many
countries of the world
That was one opinion of defendants who
have spent nearly two years organizaing
the world'R first Olympic-Atyle athletic
and human rights demonstration
designed to "educate the general public on
the vitality, variety, and versatility of the
gay community .... "
On the eve of what woulds have been
called the Gay Olympic Games, Judge
Samuel Conti issued a temporary restrain·
ing order requiring the gay event's sponsors
to stop using the words Olympic and
Olympiad-at least until a full hearing
which wes set for August 19 in the same
U.S. District Court.
The historic complaint filed by local
attorney Vauf{hn WalkE>r is based on ~ection
llO(a) of Public Law 95-606 which
attempts to aRsign exclusive rights to
usage of the ancient words to the USOC
A letter from F. Don Miller of the U80C
laHt January to Thomas F. Waddell, M D.,
presidt·nt of the game's non-profit and
volunteer sponsoring organization-San
Francit1C'O Art.8 & Athletes-requested
voluntary abandonment of the word
Olympic and related terms.
On the advice of local atorney Mary C.
Dunlap, Waddell replied then that use of
the words in conjunction with the "Gay
Olympic Games" is protected by the
"guarantees of free speech and the associ·
ation of the First Amendment (to the U.S.
Constitution), which expressly prohibits
Congresa from making a ny Jaw(s) a bridging
those freedoms of the people of this
nation."
In asking Miller to acknowledge the
validity of the name "Gay Olympic
Games," Waddell also wrote last January
26:
"I respectfully urge you to consider that
The games will !JO on, of course. Shou:n here, soccer practice with international
chairman of the soccer committee Josh Persky (kicking).
the term 'olympic' is a generic one, of deep
historic origin, that belongs to all people
and that is widely used by many and
diverse groups of people. to identify and
C'elebrate a variety of activities ... "
Still scheduled for August 28 through
September 5, the "Gay Games" currently
involve about 1300 regi~tered athletes
from about lOOtownsandcitiesin lOcoun·
tries, and unmeasured thousands of
volunteers and contributors.
Several Houstonians are going as well
as a Montrose Sparta Asociation volleyball
team. (See story on sport pages.)
In addition to the athletic events througout
the city during the nine-day celebration,
two entertainment events are to be
sponsored by the organizaing committee
to benifit the project.
Waddell said after the Monday court
action that, as far as he knows, "this is the
first time they (the USOC) has prosecuted
anyone for using the term 'Olympics'."
He continued: "They st.ated quite clearly
in court that they see the term "gay" in
front of that word fOlympics) as in sOme
way demeaning it. If that isn't p~ejudicial.
I'd like to have someone descnbe to me
what prejudice means."
•·what is particularly irritating," said
Waddell, "is the fact that the USOC has
known for at least seven months that we
have continued to use that term. and they
could have filed for an injuction early this
year."
Defense attorney Mary Dunlap
expressed the same determination and
confidence in this case that she projected
during recent successful federal litigation
against the Immigration and Naturalization
Service on behalf of lesbians and gay
men visiting this country.
Dunlap said she expects to move for
relief from the temporary restraining
order before the full hearing before Presiding
U.S. DistrictCourtJudgeRobertPeckham
August 19 at 9:30 a.m. She could not
be more specific until studying the surprise
case further.

Gay Community
Organizes
Committee to
Meet with
Police Chief
By Johannes Stahl
A committee has been formed which will
present concerns of the gay community to
Houston Police Chief Lee Brown.
Thia waa announced to the gay media in
Houston by Kent Speer, administrative
assistant to City Councilman George
Greania11 that Officer Dora Tenorio was
named "liaaon" to the gay community.
Larry Troutt, public information officer
in Chief Brown's office, said Tenorio will
serve only aa a contact within the chiefs
office for information on situations that
have already developed such as police
raids or shootings in the gay community.
Troutt said the confusion arose from a
series of different meetings between Speer,
the Police Department and City Hall. "No
intentional misinformation was given out
by a nyone. It's the bureaucracy involved,"
he added.
Speer said that the tenn liason was
interpreted differently by the parties
involved in the meetings. He agreed that
his understanding of her duties were in
accord with Troutt's statements.
The eight-member committee has been
formed of business, religious, organiza·
tional and political representatives within
the gay community, according to Speer.
He stressed that the committee has not
been appointed by Brown, but will meet
with the chief to work out solutions and
compromises to problems presented to it.
"Their reports will made available to the
public," he said.
The committee will be of a "consensus
vote" nature and will not have an official
chairman or president, explained Speer.
He feel8 that this will be the best arrangement
to present problems to the police
department.
Gay Man Ousted
from Fraternity
International Gay Newa Agency
The president of Michigan State Univer·
sity has overruled a university board and
upheld the ouster of a gay man from a
fraternity
President M. Cecil Mackey, in overturning
the action of the school's AntiDiscrimination
Judicial Board, said that
fraternities are exempt from college policies
barring discrimination against homo·
sexuals.
The board had ordered Delta Sigma Phi
in May to reinstate John Nowak, who had
been ousted January lO by a vote of the
other fraternity members.
But Mackey's seven-page decision said
that fraternities and sororities are exempt
from university policies.
"Social fraternities and sororities have
long been recognized at Michigan State
University as having a special relationship
to the university, but not as being
part of the universtiy," he wrote.
Nowak, who will take over in the fall as
pr~sident of MSU's Gay/ Lesbian Council,
said that he was "shocked and distreased"
by the decision but did not know whether
he would take further action.

Gay Busine ss
Alliance Meets
By Johannes Stahl
The Greater Montrose Business Guild
held their first meeting to determine
interest from the gay business community
in forming an alliance along the lines of a
chamber of commerce.
But only two of the five sponsors of the
organization were present.
The meeting, held August 9 at Bering
Memorial Church, 1440 Hawthorne,
focused on whether to continue planning
for such a group in Houston. The representatives
of a total of 10 businesses present
indicated a desire to try to continue on a
month-to-month trial basis.
William Marberry, who chaired this
organizational meeting, said that the
impactofthegroupwill be directed to "economic
and business issues. This is not a
political organization, we already have
plenty of those."
A decision as to whether the group will
include non-gay businesses as well as gay
businesses was postponed until the next
scheduled meeting, September 13. They
are considering if the direction of the guild
will be geographic, concentrating on all
Montrose businesses, or include gay busi
nesses from all over the city.
The group did indicate a desire to affiliate
with the National Association of Business
Councils. NABC is a national, tax
exempt chamber of commerce comprised
of gay and non-gay supporters of the gay
community throughout the business and
profesaional strata. NABC currently has
18 affiliates in the United States.

What's green, sticky, and runs a race in

Answer: the stars of the Elma Cham·
pionship Slugfest, reports the Seattle Post·
Intelligencer.
The small town in western Washington
has strict rules for its annual 24-inch race
for slimy thoroughbreds. No starting
blocks are allowed and owners must point
their racers in the right direction.
Any slug exhibiting a romantic interest
in other racers is expelled from the track
and equaehed.
To keep the racers from getting, well,
sluggish, race organizers pray for a sunny
day.
"We've found they really race faster in
the sunshine," said Ron Woodman,
adding that t.he slugs like to finish the race
so they can crawl under a rock.

While the April Gallup Poll revealed 43
percent of Americana approved of the way

in the 19408 said the number of
American• who would "make a special

Reader Reacts to
Police Bar
Checks
From C.J. Schlueh
I would like to ask all of you: How many of
you have been in a bar when it was raided
by the police?
How many of you have done anything
about it? Or did you just go home at the
end of the evening and forget it?
How many of you were at the Barn this
past Saturday night when the cops walked
in?
To tell you the truth, I am sick and tired
of it. I am tired of having to prove my age,
even though my looks show the obvious. I
am tired of having a good evening upset
because the Police Department decided
that they wanted to check things out, and
figured that we are good candidates for
doing so. But I am sure that I am not the
only one who feels this way.
I want to urge all of you to write to
Mayor Whitmire, the City Council and the
Police Department, expressing what I
imagine is your displeasure with the way
the current situation is.
The actions of the police department are
not going to stop unless we all get behind
each other and bombard City Hall with
our statements.
Let them know that we have had
enough. We won't stand for any more.
'Please Correct
Headline on
Stokes'
From Wayde Frey
Auali.n
Regarding the article on page 12 of the
July 23 VOICE, "Gay Minister's Ouster
Considered," I would greatly appreciate a
correction from you in your next edition.
Your headline was wrong.
Troy Stokes has never been a United
Methodist Minister. The only openly gay
Methodist minister I know of in Texas is
Gene Leggett, and the Southwest Texas
Conference kicked him out of the ministry
for it in 1971.
Troy Stokes is a layman, not a clergyman.
I think it is important to make that
clear to your readers. Also, the Southwest
Texas Conference is wanting to kick Troy
off of the Board of Church and Society, not
out of the United Methodist Church.
They're not kicking people out of the
Methodist Church for being openly gayat
least, not yet.
The clipping from the Austin AmericanStatesman
that I sent you pointed out that
Troy Stokes never entered the ministry. I
quote: "Frustrated in his desire to be an
ordained minister becaUBe he knew it
would require him to 'keep my private life
not private but secret,' Stokes chose to
teach Sunday school at University United
Methodist Church ... "
Please correct this misinformation in
the VOICE. Troy and I will appreciate it.
(We11 watch for the correction!)

the Southwest Texas Conference of the

board.
Bishop F.rnest Dixon of San Antonio

over the election of Stoketi
Stokes was elected to the 30-member
Board of Church and Society at the conference'•
annual mef'ting in June. And
despite the remarks of some of the more
vocal, fundamentalist elements of the
church, Dixon says the majority of those
he talked to favored Stokes staying on the

Last month I had the pleasure of participating,

softball tournament. ·
I would like both to congratulate and
thank all who were involved in planning
the Lone Star Classic for a very well organized,
well run event.
I think I can speak for everyone on the
Dallas team in saying that we had en
enjoyable time and we will look forward to

Critic
Responding to
GPC Secretary
From T. Vega
Secretary, G•y Political Caucu8
Regarding the letter from S. Cuniberti in
your (last) issue,
I am terribly sorry Mr. Cuniberti
received the incorrect impression at the
GPC meeting and from my letter to the
Voice. I will try to make it simpler. The
GPC would like to invite individuals to
openly discuss solutions to incidents
which arise before going public. The key
words are invite and discuss. At no point
in my letter was the word uprevent" used.
It did not state that GPC desires to read
and/ or delete material harmful to the
organization. AB for denying anyone their
right of free speech; that is, once again, not
our goal. I repeat the key words are invite
and discuss.
The concept of collective leadership is
centuries old. It did not begin with Karl
Marx. There were experiments with various
forms of collective leadership througout
history. Whether it be called a
parliament, congress, Board of Directors,
triumvirate or whatever; it is still forms of
collective leadership and is not inherently
Marxist. Just because one philosopher
uses a word does not mean that whenever
that word is used it is conveying that philosopher's
ideas
Many things are achieved behind the
scenes legally. I don't especially care for
this method but it does work. It leaves
room for negotiations. Organizations,
individuals, government, etc., who compromise
on issues behind the scenes don't
Jose face. They are not perceived as flip
flopping on issues. Their public image is
not reduced. Consequently there is more
room for compromise or discussion. For
many this is very important. I don't know

I take issue with Mr. Cuniberti's use of
the phrases "rife with Marxist rhetoric'

the u~e of thei;e phrases are a bit extreme

Mid-Summer Update on the Movies
By Dick Roger•
The first wave of summer films are now a
few . month& old, and producing what
Variety calla a new high in box-office
receipts. Yet it's sometimes difficult to tell
the memorable films from the ripoffs without
seeing them all.
Uoing my own admittedly biased standards,
I've made up a list of "yesses "
"no's," and "maybes" for your inform~tion
. Then, I've added some alternatives
for stimulating summer viewing.
YES!
E.T. Spielberg's Peter Pan, a sweetnatured
and skillful story of a boy and his
alien. Some moviegoers have complained
that it's a children's movie, but it is childgood
seen through the rose-tinted glasses
of a nostalgic adult. Some sequences are
pure magic.
POLTERGEIST. The odd partnership
of Spielberg and director Tobe Hooper
(Texas Chain.saw MaBBacre) has produced
a ghos.t story that io altematingly scary,
charming and dumb. The Hooper gore
doesn't quite mesh with Spielberg's humor
and taote, but there are enough thrills and
gentle satiric humor to make this
entertaining.
BLADE R UNNER. The ideas in thio
sci-fi thriller are hardly original
(remember Westworld and Eocape From
New York?), but Ridley Scott has directed
with a visual flair that lifts the film a
notch above average. Harrison Ford is the
harried hero who must destroy the human·
looking androids before they wreck
civilization.
Blade Runner is bit downbeat for a
summer movie, but it is far more original
than most sci-fi ventures that have opened
so far.
NO!
ANNIE. Overproduced and over·
stuffed, this blow-up of the Broadway hit
io distinguished only by its phenomenal
price tag. Depending on whom you
believe, it cost somewhere between $35
and $50 million, but the money is not vis·
ible on screen.
Carol Burnett and Ann Reinking inject
a little fun into the proceedings, but Annie
has neither a mind nor a heart, just a
bunch of prefab kids singing prefab songs
on prefab sets.
FIREFOX. Clint Eastwood's attempt
to capitalize on the current conservative,
anti-Soviet mood back.fires because of
sluggish direction and murky photography.
If he's going to make a right-wing
movie, he could at least make an entertaining
one!
MEGAFOR CE. A ridiculous, futuristic
war movie, combining advanced hard·
ware with swashbuckling derring-do. If
the actors were better, it might have mustered
a dopey charm, but Barry Bostwick
and Persis Khambatta are as wooden as
the plot.
THE THING. John Carpenter tries to
gross us out again and succeeds. This is
one of the goriest films ever made, but
shocking as it is, it hao little suspense.
The low-budget '50s movie of the same
title is far more creepy. All the specia l
effects in the world cannot disguise the
director's lack of imagination and vision.
MAYBE:
STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF
KHAN. A much better film than the original
wide·llCJ'een version of the cult TV
favorite, this sequel is still mainly for
"Trekkies." If you loved the stilted dialog
and philosophical bromides of the old
Enterprise crew, you'Il be well satisfied
with the new movie. If you didn't, stay
away.

Dirty Sally's Wins Softball Championship
By Billie Duncan
The stands were full, the field was finally
dry and the tension in thedugoutscould be
scooped into a cone.
Dirty Sally's and the Galleon had
battled their way to what would be up
being the championship game in the MSA
Softball play-offs.
Just the day before they had faced each
other in a game that Sally's had won by a
single little itty bitty point. The Galleon
had defeated Sally's in one game of the
Lone Star Classic and knew that the possibility
existed that they could take them
again.
Riding on the victory was the chance to
play in the Gay Wor]d Series, and the
sweet s~ell of San Francisco was floating
in the BIT.
The Galleon has just smothered Jim's
Gym 11 -1 and were raring to go. Sally's
was rested and ready.
Barry Pirkey stepped to the plate for the
Galleon and gave himself a one-man
ticket home on one mighty swing that
really connected. Sally's stumbled around
in the field for a while, looking like a
bunch of beginners.
By the time the Galleon finished at bat,
five runs were on the old scoreboard. Bill
Fike helped considerably by smacking a
two-run good-bye ball that kissed the treetops
as it went by.

make it 17-5.

Other games: Jim's Gym
eliminates Mining
Company 12-8
Jim'• Gym opened Saturday against the
Montrose Mining Company in a battle of
the 2nd place teams from the North &
South Divisions. Theo game started as a
see-oaw battle a• both team• had the led at
different times through the first5innings.
Going into the 6th inning the score was
tied at 7 each. In the top of the 6th. the
Mining Co. BCored 1 run, but Jim~s Gym
tallied fi in the bottom of the 6th to take a
12-8 lead
Jim's Gym held the lead during the
Mine's last at bat. which went quickly
wtth 3 fly-outs that ended the game and
the :-1eason for the Mining Co.
Voice beats A&K 10-9 in
an extra inning
In Saturday's second game, division
rivals A&K Jewelry and the Montrose
Voice squared off. Even though A&K fin·
ished the regular season ahead of the
Voice, A&K had dropped both regular season
games to the Voice and they were looking
for revenge in the playoffs.
But the Voice scrambled for 4 runs in
their half of the 2nd and in the 4th scored 3
more to take a 7-f> lead.
The battle continued and going into the
7th inning, the Voice held a 9-8 lead, but
A&K wasn't quite finished as Ken John·
ston delivered his third homerun of the
day to tie the score.
In the bottom of the 7th, the Voice
mounted a serious scoring threat only to
have the potential winning run thrown
out at home plate in an excellent defensive
play by A&K, which forced the game into
extra mn1ngs
In the 8th. A&K couldn't manage to
score and the Voice tallied once more to
end the battle and advance to the last 4
teams
Sally's edged Galleon
13-12 in their Saturday
game
In the showdown game Saturday between
the Galleon and Dirty Sally's, everyone
expected a close game and all knew that it
was probably the most important game of
the season for both teams. But it is doubtful
that anyone expected the excitement
and tension that the game delivered.
Sally's opened the bottom of the first
scoring once after holding the Galleon
scoreless in the top of the inning. Neither
team scored in the 2nd and in the top of the
Galleon captured second place. The photo taken when they u·ere all smiles
after their 11·1 win over Jim's Gym.
3rd, the Galleon tallied twice to momentar·
ily take the lead
Sally's tallied 3 runs on Mario Marche·
na 's 3 run homeurn in the bottom of the
third and at the end of 3 innings the score
was Sally's 4, Galleon 2
Sally's scored again in the bottom of the
4th to up the score to 5-2.
In the top of the 5th, itwastheGalleon's
turn to provide some excitment as they
sent 12 batters to the plate and scored 9
runs capped by Barry Pirkey's 2-out3-run
home run
Sally's didn't give up though and scored
3 more rune in the bottom ofthe5thandat
the end of 5 innings the score was Galleon
11 and Sally's 8.
In the sixth inning, the Galleon didn't
score and in the botom of the sixth, Sally's
scored 3 more runs as Jerry DeSale deli
vered a towenng 3 run homerun to tie the
score at 11
In the top of the 7th, the Galleon tallied
once to again take the lead. So the bottom
of the 7th was do or die for Sally's.
Sally's put their first 3 men on base with
the help of 2 Galleon errors and a base on
balls, then Vernon Harris delivered a line
drive single to right field scoring 2 runs
and giving Sally's a 13-12 victory over the
Galleon.
The victory moved Dirty Sally's to the
championship finals.
Jim's Gym beats
Montrose Voice 9-2 and
advanced to a
guaranteed third place
spot
In Saturday's last game, Jim's Gym and
the Montrose Voice paired off. After the
excitement of the first 3 games on Saturday,
this game was very quiet as most of
the fans had lefL the field and almost
everyone was already emotionally
drained from the earlier games.
This game saw Jim's Gym score 3 runs
in the bottom oft.he first inning, and thoi;e
3 runis would turn out to be enough to win
the game. Again in the 3rd, Jim's Gym
scored 4 more runs sparked by Rick
Errard'e 3-run homenm and in the 5th
scored 2 more runs to take a 9-0 lead.
In the 6th, the Voice finally managed to
tally twice, to make the eventual final
score Jim's Gym 9, Montrose Voice 2. The
loss eliminated the Voice from further
playoff competition, but gave them a solid
4th place finish
The victory for Jim's Gym moved them
to the semi-finals of the playoffs against
the Galleon.
Galleon beats Jim's
Gym 11-1 Sunday to
advance to
championship battle
Sunday's first game pitted the Galleon
against Jim's Gym in the playoff semifi·
nals. The winner would advance to the
finals to face the unbeaten Dirty Sally's
team
This gaml• saw neither team score in the
1st inning. In the 2nd, Bill Fike delivered a
2 run homerun for the Galleon and Rick
Errard a solo homerun for the Gym. So, at
the end of 2 innings the 8Core was Galleon
3, Jim's Gym 1
In th• :lrd inning the Galleon tallied 4
more ruR sparked by Grant McKinstry's
triple and Don Kessler's double. In the 5th
inning the Galleon scored again on Bill
Fike's 3 run homerun (his second of the
day) and in the 7th the Galleon scored 2
more runs to take an easy 11-1 victory.
The loss eliminated Jim's Gym but gave
then 3rd place in the playoffs.

Drag Queens vs.
theMSA
Sponsors Set for
Saturday
By Billie Duncan
In order to further the principles of fair
play, to bring pride to the hearts of friends
and family and to prove that the Montrose
is indeed an insane community, this Saturday
evening at Levy Field a group of
female impreasionists known as the Drag
Queen All Stars will play softball against
a motly group put together from the ranks
of the sponsors of the MSA Softball
League.
Naomi Simms is coaching the Drag
Queens, as well as working on the uniforms.
The VOICE has been informed that
the uniforms are red and white with rhinestone
trim. Players have the option of
wearing tennis 1hoes or matching pumps.
Naomi has requested that fans of the
Drag Queens please wear red and white
also. With a litUe cooperation, perhaps the
entire stands could be color-coordinated.
Particular care is being taken by the
players to make sure that they have the
correct make-up style for nighttime softball.
Mike Teager, who serves in many capacities
for the DQ's. said that the team is
currently in rehearsal for the game. He
also commented on last year's game,
which the Drag Queens won 17-15, by saying,
"It was a real strange game."
Jay Allen of the Galleon will be the
umpire and the chief for the game. Jerry
DeSale of the Softball League reported
that Jim Reagan (president of Montrose
Sports Association) will play.
The players on the Drag Queens are
Naomi Simms. Kelley, Mias T (who was a
star in the game last year), Donna Day,
Bernadette, Charlie, Nikki, Coco, Jerry
Harper, and Jahonau Reis.
The ranks of the sponsors team will be
filled out by various popular andlor
attractive bartenders from the Galleon,
Copa, Dirty Sally's, Barn and Montrose
Mining Company, as well as bar owners
V .J. Abney (Ab) from Brazos River Bot·
tom and Jerry Kaufman from the Briar
Patch. Billie Duncan (moi) is supposed to
represent the MONTROSE VOICE.
After the main line game, the MSA Tennis
League will play an exhibition game
against a select team from the MSA
Women'• Softball League.
Son of Sequel
With sequels like "Star Trek Two" and
"Rocky III" chalking up big box office
returns, the producers of "Surf Two" are
betting their movie will make more money
than the original film, reports the Los
Angeles Times.
It's a pretty good bet: there was no "Surf
One." "Surf Two" is a spoof of '50s beach
movies, featuring surfers addicted to a
drink called "Buzz Cola" that turns their
hair pink

Sahdji at
the Copa
By Nick Fede
You can really appreciate the talents of a
regularly scheduled group of impressionists
when they put in a better performance
than the scheduled special guest.
The special guest was Sahdji from Reno,
Nevada, w.ho performed in the Copa's
Sunday show August 8 with regular stars
Naomi Sims (Newman Broauh), Hot
Chocolate (Larry Edwards), and Kelley
(Kelly Lorino). The other scheduled regu·
Jar star Donna Day (Don Shelton) did not
appear that night because of an out-oft.
own engagement.
0 Hi, and I wish I were," said emcee
Namoi Sllnns as he greeted the crowd
while standing in front of a black-andwbite
glittered backdrop that bears the
new Copa logo. When introduced, Sahdji
appeared on stage dressed in a black-and·
white costume as he performed Dionne
Warwick in a medley of her hita that
included "Walk On By" and "Anyone Who
Had a Heart." His performance and cos·
tume throughout the first two numbers
were sadly dated (circa 1960).
In comparison, the sizzling Hot Chocolate
performed an outstanding version of
Gladys Kinght's "Coming Home," that
enchanted the crowd who smiled as he
entertained garbed in a striking lavender
gown that was garnished by a silk bow
that peaked to a point above his shoulder
As "Twice As Hot," Naomi Sima and
Hot Chocolate later performed Ashford
'ind SimpHon 's version of Diana Ross's hit
'The BoHs" and then presented another of
the singing duo's hi ta, "Is lt(Still) Good To
Ya," which the crowd responded to with
much applause and a standing ovation.
Kelley proved once again that he can
gracefully high-kick with poise as he per·
formed Olivia Newton John's "Totally
Hot,'' Naomi Sims entertained the crowd
with a light and bouncy version of "Sum·
mertime Fun" that feature tropical choreography
that evoked warm feelings and
hot times.
Sahdji performed later as Tina Turner
in a medley of her hits but during some of
the number, his lips were not in synchronization
with the music, which cracked noisily
through the club's sound system. He
had a difficult time trying to correcUy han·
die his mic, and was awkward when moving
and adjusting the mic's stand. The
crowd was not impre88ed.
"I guess I'm what you'd call a throwback
because I don't do things that are on
the disco top forty," he said referring to
material he performs.
In his last number, Sahdji presented the
Diana Rosa hit "Mirror, Mirror," in which
he moved with some style and lifelike real·
ism. He made some crowd members long
for the bygone Thursday nighta at The
Copa when impresionist Cocoa excellently
performed that number with versatile
dancers and mirrors made of silver
Mylar,
"I just spent four days up at the lake
with her (Diana Ross) and I copied her
dreds and mannerisms," said the boyish
impressionist in a post-show interview. He
referred to the small amout of tips given
him during his performance of "Mirror,
Mirror" by saying. "If you're doing the
illusion well, well, you just don't tip Diana
RoAH."
He performed as one of the leads in
"Hello. Hollywood, Hello" at the MGM
Grand Hotel in Reno. where he danced
•·under the name Ron Friedman ns a boy
and as Sahdji as a girl, and the audience
never knew the difference."
He has acted in four movies, one or
which , "WUSA," had him playing the
character Hollywood. "'who dresses in
drag and casht's .. hi8 si~ter'~ welfar~
check,'' he said. He and his WJfe own _a
custom desi~n costume ~hop that is
located in Reno, and he designs his own
gowns after whirh she then executet' unto
cloth. He added with pride that "I do all
the bead work on them."
When aRked if his wife ever accompan·
ies him when he Pf'rforms out of town he
said, "I don't like my wife to see the shows
because she notices everything wrong
with (his) the wardrobe. His policy after
accepting offered tips while performing is
to "always try to say thank you if I take
the tip when I take a breath."
He believes the "U.S. is becoming much
more cosmopolitan like Europe," because
ulf a man can walk on-stage and give the
illusion of being a girl, then the audience is
impressed."
The crowd was for the most part
impressed by the topnotch talent, creativity
and innove.tion that is put in weekly by
Copa's own Houston all-stars. It was all
evidenced by whom they tipped and
applauded.

Second City
to Appear at
Tower
By Billie Duncan
Members of Second City are Second Citi·
zens. And Once a Second Citizen, always a
Second Citizen.
Second City is, of course, a group of
improvisational actor-playwrights who
have been gaining recognition constantly
for over 20 years.
Based in Chicago, the group hae num·
bered among its citizens Joan Rivera,
John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Alan Arkin,
Mary Gross, Valerie Harper, Avery
Schreiber, David Steinberg, Bill Murray,
John Candy and on and on and on.
The original group spawned several
companies as well as the SCTV (Second
City Television Network). which is one of
the few shows on television to have the
guts to go on the air without a laugh track.
Because there is no laugh track, however,
some people do not think that the
show is funny. American TV viewers are
ueed to having the tube tell them whether
something is funny or not by providing
raucue laughter at the end of every line or
look.
People who can think for themselves are
tuning in in droves.
The company of players who are about
to appear at the Tower do not inclu_de any
of the famiJiar TV faces. The cast is composed
of six talented individuals who have
developed their comedic talents in many
ways and are now working their way up
the Second City ladder.
Part of the proceee for some of the per·
formers ie the workshop part of the Second
City where improvisational techniques
are taught. Three of the touring com·
pany's members gained entrance to performance
via the workshop. Jeanette
Schwabe has lived in Chicago most of her
life and hae been either in the Second City
National Touring Company or Paul Sills
Story Theater for over two years.
Another workshop grad is Jeff Michale
who is also from the Chicago area and has
been with the company for two years. He
has worked as a stand-up comic around
Chicago as well as working with Second
City.
The third performer to make it into the
touring company through the workshop
door ie Bill Applebaum who ie from Cleve·
land, Ohio and hae been with the com·
pany for a year and a half. He hae also
been seen as an actor around Chicago and
in some PBS productions.
Jim Fay worked withJeffMichalein the
Comedy Rangers and has now been with
Second City for three years.
Steve Aeead wae diecovered by Second
City when he traveled from Minneappolie
with Dudly Riggs' Brave New Workshop
and wae eeen by the Second City people.
The traditional etar·in·a·night story ie
reserved for the pianist Ruby Streak who
had been noticed by someone at Second
City and then ... and then .. . Right. Something
happened to the regular pianist and
Ruby streaked in to cover. She hae been
with Second City for five years now.
Mike Hagarty, director of the touring
company spoke to the VOICE earlier thie
week about Second City.
"I guess it's our job to ~atc:_h what's
going on in the world and give 1t back to
the audience in a somewhat humorous
ww~·~xplained that the ehow that will be
presented at the Tower will be composed of
material that was worked out mostly by
other members of Second City, rather than
the touring company. That tried and true
material will take up the first two acts.
Then the third act will be on the epot
improvisations based o~ audience suggestion.
This ie the do-or-die part of the ehow
where the audience finds out iuet how
clever the performers really are.
Jane Morris and Jim Fay of the national touring company called Second City, opening next Wf!ek at the Tower.
Mike Hagarty seemed to feel that
improv and team comedy is much more
interesting and exciting than stand-up
work .
In epealring of the people in the group
who have done etand·up, he kept ineieting
that they were not really stand-up comedi-ans.
"I don't like etand·up comedy," he
finally eaid. Then he added, "!like watch·
ing a good etand·up comedian, but I hate
to see some one who's neurotic get up there
and fall apart."
Jn improvisation he explained, "There
Max Mavin: Mind Over Montrose
By Billie Duncan
It hae got to be a trick. No one can really
know what a person is going t.o say or how
much change is in a person's pocket or
which card out of 53 that a person will
pick.
No one can tell exactly what time a
watch will stop on when the stem is turned
by a peraon sitting 25 feet away. No one
can guess an entire hand of cards held by
another person while the guesser is standing
with hie back to the card holder.
No one, that is, except Max Mavin.
Using audience members throughout
hie ehow, Max defied the !awe oflogic and
linear thinking. He started out with a few
things that the audience could possibly
pase off ae card tricks. Then he did some
things with members of the crowd that
might be passed off ae collusion with the
people he picked.
But as the 14tricks" got more involved
and more and more of the people in the
crowd (including people you know have
never met Max Mavin before) were
included in his presentations, if became
more and more difficult to paee off hie
show as a sham.
Max Mavin is appearing through Sunday
at the Laff Stop, 1952·A West Gray,
along with stand-up comedians Adam
Leslie and Jeff DeHart. Max explained, "I
don't think what I do is comedy." But
whatever it is, it is highly entertaining.
Dreeeed in black, with slightly diaboli·
cal beard and eyebrows and jet black hair
swept back in a decidedly delivieh
manner, Max projects on sight a sense of
danger and mystery. However, his
manner is friendly, humorous and warmly
intelligent.
The only a udience member who had the
nerve to try to give him flack was a man
who objected to Max's earing. Max caught
the man with hie steely gaze and told him,
Max Maven.
"! can eee why it might bug you. You're
probably not butch enough to stand the
pain of getting your ear pierced."
Mavin insisted that he is not a mind
reader, but that he merely uses his own
eeneee of perception and psychology in
order to get people to do what he wants
them to do.
He was careful to let the audience eee
clearly every move that he made. He
ineieted that the people involved in hie
is a sense of support th.at you don't get in
etand·up." He paused. "Another good
thing about improv ie that if it doesn't
work, you can always blame it on someone
elee."
Second City will be at the Tower August
19 through 21 for two shows a night.
performance look carefully at the obiects
that he handed them, including a demand
for a thorough examination of the deck of
cards.
Cards got him started on his career 8:s a
mentalist, actually. When hew~ a .child,
he used to play Old Maid with his friends.
Soon he diecovered that he was able to
keep from drawing the Old Maid and to
make sure that someone drew it from him
if he had it.
"I was a good Old Maid player," saip
Mavin, "until people refused to play Old
Maid with me."
Hie abilities with the cards prompted
one audience member to offer to back him
in Vegas. Replied Mavin, "You're not the
first one to think of that."
He later explained that he baa visited
Vegas, but "I don't go all that often. !goto
visit friends who are performing." He also
explained that he doee not enter Vegas in
hie etrilring stage persona. "! don 't look
like thie."
At that point, he quietly ineieted,
"Beyond that, I don't want to talk about
it."
When Max Mavin does not want to talk
about something, the subject is changed.
Hie parents both held poeitione in
academia and Max still has a great love
for the written word. He said that he reads
150 books and magazines a month. That is
about five tomes or tomettes a day of one
sort or another.
Appearing with Max Mavin at the Laff
Stop are Adam Leelie and Jeff DeHart.
Adam Leslie appeared on stage in light
grey wrinkled pants, a grey and rouge
checkered shirt, black veet, bright red tie
and bright red ehoee. Hie material con·

some sex thrown in for good measure.

A Disturbed Peace
In the face of death ...
1982 by Brian McNaught
Last Friday, our friend Rick was told by the hospital staff that his lover,
Ken, had a week, or perhaps a month, to live.
Ken had Jost a good deal of weight, had persistent diarrhea, sores
around his mouth, a consistently high fever and fluid in his lungs. Ken is
only 27, a farm boy, who, after a year or 80 of a long'1.istance courtship,
had finally moved here to set up a dream house and relationship with
Rick. No sooner did he arrive, however, than Rick, seeing Ken 'scondition,
insisted that he go to the hospital
On Saturday, under the encouragement from people at the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta, Ken had Rick moved to another hospital in
town where doctors increased his chances of survival by 40 per cent. We
are all maintaining a vigil now to see if Ken will make it home or whether
he will be the latest victim of pneumocystic carinii pneumonia
Their story is a particularly tragic one, but probably not too different
from those told by the nearly 500 people who have battled the diseases
dumped under the heading AIDS, Acquired lmmuno-Deficiency Syndrome.
Perhaps you have heard more about Kaposi's sarcoma. It and the
pneumonia are getting a lot of press lately. One newspaper account called
them unprecedented in the annals of medicine.
Because so many of the victimes of AIDS have been homosexual and
because 80 little is really known about the diseases, there has been consid·
erable psychological turmoil in the gay male community. Rumors are
flying right and left about who's got it and how they got it and how not to
get it.
Because the rumors are generally contradictory and because medical
reports are frequently difficult to understand and digest, the problem of
understanding AJDS is compounded.
As I understand it, doctors don't know if AJDS is related to a virus which
is passed from one prson to the other by such means as blood transfusions
or sexual activity or if it results because of the presence of a variety of
factors, such as genetic predisposition, a weakened system caused by use
of poppers or other foreign substances, promiscuous sex, etc. It might. well
be a marriage of both theories
In other words, a person who has a genetic predisposition, has wea·
kened his or her system with drugs or numerous previous battles with
sexually transmiited diseases might be more prone to contract the virus or
deveJop the cancer. The case histories of the many people who have fallen
victim to AJDS vary so much that it is difficult to detennine a pattern.
Gay specialists working on the problem are confounded not only by the
death toll but also by the political impications of AIDS. What if, for
instance, some task force commissioned by the federal government determines
that the disease is often pa86ed through blood transfusions and
that the high number of homosexual victims suggests that gay men are
more prone to be carriers?
Will that result in recommendations from the medical profession that
gay men not be allowed to give blood, just as persons who have recently
had hepatitis are not allowed to give blood?
Religious bigots are wasting no time in connecting AIDS to their theory
God hates homosexuals. Think of how a general ruling on "gay blood"
would fuel their political fires
And what if it is strongly suggested that a lifei;t.yle of frequent sexual
encounters in which the cell·rich semen of a variety of strangers enters
one's system combined ¥t-ith a heavy use of poppers is a "probable cause?"
Will gay people who have fought for sexual liberation be able (allowed) to
tell other gay people that their lifestyles are dangerous to their health?
Will they listen any more than people listen to warnings about the connection
between "rimming" (oral fan al &ex) and hepatifu.or betv.-een smoking

In ou~ ~ty, the people answering the rumorcontro~.1 information hot hne
~re adVJsmg_ callers u:> be aware of symptoms aSSOClated with AIDS. 'J'!:iey
mclude persistent weight Jou, fever, lethargy, swollen glands and d1ar·
rhea. They are also suggesting that people not be intimidated by the fear
they will be diagnosed as only having the flu. It is clearly better to be safe
than sorry when AJDS is concerned
Research continues on ACDS but it may be a long time before we have
any definitive answers. Until then, many in the gay male community feel
as if they are playing Russian roulette. The gay community can help
alleviate some of the tension by organizaing local efforts to address the
issue
The National Gay Task Force suggests a five point program which I
consider comprehensive. The first. item is to work with city, st.ate and
federal officials to coordinate the sources of information. It would be very
helpful to a neighborhood health clinic or gay hot line, for instance, to
have ready access to reports from the Center for Disease Control and data
from the state's health department.
Secondly, we need to educate the public and health care professionals
with as much accurate information as we can secure. Free public forums,
rumor control hotlines, health columns in the gay and non-gay press,
radio and television reporting, if appropriately done, could do a great deal
to eliminate frightening myths
The gay community, especially, might have its third agenda item the
need for addressing the psycho--eocial issues raised by AIDS. Gay Town
Meetings, group rap sessions and gay radio dialogues which probed the
psychological implications of the diseases would help counteract the per·
sietent chipping away at self-esteem AIDS has generated
Some groups in each city and state have the capacity to do significant
work in this area if they have sufficient funding. Federal go~emment
cutbacks have threatened many programs. Generally there is money
available, though, and it is merely a matter of finding it and exerting
pressure so t.hat the groups who need it get it
Final~y, loca~ gay gro_upe need to probe the areas of risk r:eduction and
prevention. If information gathered leads to clear conclus1ons, community
leaders have the responsibility to communicate ihat information to
th08e who count on them for guidance, even when that guidance is painful
or "politically incorrect."
My 8ense is that AIDS will pull us together rather than pull us apart.
Already, non-gay profossionalh are looking to us for direction. AID!; is an

ByTycho Fortunes
For Friday evemng. August 13. through Friday evening. Augu.st 20 1982
The Moon •s m GEMINI as the weekend opens. enters CANCER at 1:41 a.m
Sunday morn mg. LEO at 2:41 a.m. Tuesday morning and VIRGO at 3:40 a.m
next Thursday morning
ARIES-Funny how thei;:e things boomerang. Last week's need for con·
trol turns around to become this wttk's discovery of someone who wants
to control you. A new love might enter the picture, bringing exotic and
delicious gifts.
TAURUS-Think about it! You can't help but be successful at what you
really put your mind to. \\'hat concerns you right now is self-respect and
respectability. When you come on to someone, is all you're asking for "a
little respect?"
GEMINI-Let the moon be your guide this week. Take chances, trust
your hunches, follow that dream! Enjoy the release that comes from
laughter or tears. A time for partner hips to be fruitful. Can you taste it?
CANCER-Jn )'OUr sign thu~ u·ttk: Venus (leal-•es Saturday morningJ.
You'll feel needed, loved, cherished. You'll feel liken umber one, king of the
mountain. top of the heap. This could lead to self-centerednt>Sb. couldn 'tit'>
Not if you return a11 those feelings to the right person.
LEO-Jn your sign this u:eek: Venus (tntus Saturday morning) and the
Sun. Last week's feelings of unreality and haunting dreams have sharpened
into a keen sense of reality and how to make the dreams work.
Confusion's out, clarity's in. A new version of your old self is making you
happy and attractive.
VIRGO-Jn your sign this u:eek.- Mercury. You're able to take some very
original ideas and use them wisely. Things that were hidden come to light.
Old love and a new venture seem to go hand in hand this week. Pillow talk
can be profitable.
LIBRA-In your sign thls u:eek: Saturn and Pluto. What happens when
you combine passion with sincerity? You'll find out soon enough, since
you'll be giving and taking plenty of each~ It could tum out to be bigger
than both of you
SCORPIO-Jn your sign this u:eek: Mars and Jupiter. You ·re an adven·
turer, an explorer, a searcher after truth. You're looking for something
more than action. You want to know where you are, who you are. and what
it's all about. Use those Scorpio talents! Look behind the scenes.
SAGITTARIUS-Jn your Blgn this u:eek: Uranus and NeptuM. The
things that ordinarily get you down don't phase you at all this week
There's an ease about your life, a natural flow of events that puts things in
the proper perspective. You're enjoying all the games, of any kind.
CAPRICORN-This week, you're the sleuth, looking for clues and reasons.
Your mystery could lead you to some interesting and bizarre people
and places. Things do get complicated sometimes, don't they?
AQUARIUS-Work takes on new meaning and excitement this week.
Since you've got the energy and drive, you can accomplish something
important in that area. Meanwhile, back in the boudoir, a new friend could
mean a Jot of fun in off hours
PISCES-Aren't you getting friction burns yet? Tycho just keeps seeing
sex, sex, sex in your stars, with no end-make that letup-in sight. It looks
like things may take a more romantic turn this week. though. Keep, uh,
plugging away

Last Word
Mayor surprises us
By Henry McClurg
I told Ed, "The Mayor will give us a private interview. All
you have to do is ask through official channels."
Ed said, "I don't think so. She'll probably want to continue
to maintain her distance from the press-and especially
from the gay press."
"Oh no Ed. She'll talk to us .... I agree thatyou'regoing to
have to ask her aide maybe four times before they stop
ignoring you and are finally forced to grant the interviewbut
she'll eventually talk to us.
After all, we are a ligitimate newspaper serving an identifiable
community. And we're her neighborhood
newspaper-since she lives in Montrose."
"Well, alright Henry. I'll ask for an interview. But I bet
we get a run-around," said Ed Martinez, reporter for the
VOICE.
Folks, Ed and I were both wrong. We got the interview
promptly after only one request. And it appears in next
week's VOICE.
But I warn you. This is not a folksy "How do you like your
job so far"-type interview.
See you next week.
