AIDS Alliance doctors, leaders still at odds Preacher's

Montrot~ Vo1tt Ed1tur
A rift between the executi\.·e offi
cers of the Greater Houston AIIJS
board spends a disproportionate
amount of time discussing rela·
tively unimportant details. and
the physicians have found a lack
of interest on the board in discus»·

things like hobpi('(' care and pam

not IC'ft out of any planning, because
ther(' is a lot of money to be
made ... of courtae, we're not intend·

Septimus, however, smd Penon
and Jon Mcfo~ather. ext."<·utivt> di·
rector of the Alliance, brought the
matter before the board dt-Hpitt•
urging for prior con8ultalion by
the physician council. SeptimuK
said he had personally met with
Person and attempt<'d to discus11
the physicians' concerns. and that
Person had also attended a mt't't·
ing of the council
medical advisory boorcl Hid con·
flicta over a '"preferred provider"
proposal discussed at the lat1t
meeting of the Alliance board Feb.
8 is-0nly a "side i1tsue:'
"The pion . .is only a piN.:e of o
much larger picture:' said Dr. Ed
ward Septimu11, who reportedly
&urprised the extcutivett of the
AIUS umbrella organization
when he su1nre.Jted last Jo~riday,
Feb~ 9, that the mt'dical council's
doctors might r~ign .
'"{'he issue got'8 back to the ba&ic
leadership of the Alliance .. how it

Septimus said. ·-rm not 1mying

done in the y!'or (the Alliance) has
been in existence."
Septi~us so.id he believes the
decision making proce~. he said.
Such was the case when the
board discussed the select provid·
t>r proposal, which Septimus said
could lead to some loss of experi·
ence and expertise available to
AIDS patients who need special
ized care. When the doctors
learned that the health care pr<>"
jeet was still moving forward, it
contributed to an existing feeling
of being excluded from majordeci
sions of the group, he said
.. , don't want to get sidetracked
about the health plan,
though .. that isn't the main thing
h('re, it's just a side issue. There iK
a much greater problem and that
has to do with the leadership and
direction of the Alliance:•
8£.ptimus said.
Regarding quality of co.re, Per·

Pride Week Awards nominating process has begun
The organizing C< 1mmittee for the
1990 Pride Awards has kicked off
the first phast· of its nomination
pron·~s. said Mark Johm;on, cochair
of the annual cer('mony, a Lesbian
Gay Pride We<·k event. The
nominating and balloting procedun•
ii-; changing slightly for this
year becaui-;e of i;ome confu!Sion experit•
n(·<·d last yl•ar, Johnson said.
The hrst Prid<• Awards Hunqul•t was
held June 17, 19X9. uftl•r the honor·
et•s were sell't'tC'd by nn open "write·
m'' ballot.
Although the final vol(• will still
ht• opt•n, .Johmmn t:aid the commitkt•
is polling community organiza·
tions for nominutionH so suggestl'<l
nominel'S rim ht• litited on the ballot.
Tht•rt• will still be a pla<'t· on th« bal·
lot for wril<•·in votA.-s, he said.
Because of thl' early start, organizers
an• l•xpttting a larger and
broader hat-;ed responst>, Johnson
said
The Pridt· A, ... ·nrds are designed to
honor individuals, organizations and
businesses in Houston for ac._.hievt"ments
in service, commitment and dt>d·
ication to the Houston gay and lesbiun
community. This year's ballot list.-.. the
following categories: promoting pride
within the community, beyond the com·
munity, by a community organization,
by a business, a nd by an individual,
and a new category, promoting pride
and "gaiety'" through a community social
event.
In the first phase of the balloting
process, community organizations will
fill out a certification form and nomi·
nation ballot. The first batrh of tht>St•
ballots have already been muilt'd out to
about 70 different groups, Johmmn
said.
To qualify for participation in thr
nominations, an organization must bt•
independent (of any parent or sponsor
ing organization), based in Houst«ln ,
have a membership or volunteers und a
governing body, and must hold regular
meetings. The nomination process bl'"'
gan Jan. 15 and will ronclude on
Marc·h 3. Each qualifying organization
will rec·cive a customized nomination
ballot on which to vote; each will be allow(>
d one nomination per category. It
is up to the individual organizations to
determine how their nominees are sel<•
«tt-d.
Johnson noted that although the
committee tried to identify all qualified
rnmmunity organizations, some new
organizations may have been overlooked.
Qualified organizations which
do not rl•ceive a customized ballot are
titill invitt'Ci to participate, and should
rnntact the pride awards committee to
r('quet0l u nominating ballot. he said.
Sponsoring organizations. including
or.canizcr~ and recipient8 of proceeds
from tht• event. are not eligible to par·
ticipate in the nominating process,
Johnson said. Sponsor~ of the event
this year are Metropolitan Community
Church of the Resurrection ~MCCR),
Montrose Activity Center (MAC). Tex~
Hu?:'an Rights Foundation and the
Colt 4as.
The !:'l"<-'Ond phase of recipient selection
will be the adual communi·
ty·wide vote. This year, the committee
plans to 8tt out ballot boxes at
several <'Ommunity businesses, or
ballots may be 8ent by mail to Pride
Awardi;, Box 542258, 1 l ouston
77254-2~~)8. The voting process will
begin March 17 and conclude on
Junt• 2.
To assure thl• une vote limit, a
name, adclres!-1 and signature must
be inducll>d un th<' ballots, but the
names and addrt•i;ses will be used
tmlely for the purposeR of the vote,
8aidJohnson. NnmC's and addresses
will be kl'ptconfidl•ntinl and will not
\){' tran1:>krrt•d or sold to any other
organization or group, or included
on any mailing list, he said
Winnen. of tht· Pride Awards will
be announct'Cl at the banquet, which
will be held June 16 at the Astra Vil·
laj(e Hotel ballroom. The event will
kick off Houston·~ observance of

For the Montrose Voice
Aries
It's a good time for you and your lover to share some
memories. Get out the snapshots and souvenirs, call
old friends, take pleasure in remembering where
you were and who you were then. Pay tribute to the
past and you'll enhance the future.
Taurus
Someone from the past who taught you something
important may reappear. A teacher whom you love
and who loves you is definitely indicated. The meeting
may a chance one, and your opportunity to see
one another will be fleeting. Stay alert!
Gemini
Job and career are greatly emphasized. You may be
working at cross purposes to you your best interest,
or you may simply need to take a fresh look at what
you really want, where you really want to go. How
well lighted is the path to your goal?
Cancer
Travel that at first seems perfectly ordinary and unremarkable
could turn into a marvelous adventure.
In fact, your world of routine may take on entirely
new light aher this surprising jaunt. The ticket to
your magical mystery tour is your own imagination.
Leo
The wait is over. You're on your way. What you do,
though, is truly a guess; it may demand some more
waiting! That old Leo pride and energy can face just
about anything but delay. Patience! A woman with a
secret may have something to say.
Virgo
·~ change in the weather is bound to be extreme,
but what's the sense of changing horses in mid·
stream?" Alienation of affection afflicts the picture.
A proper ending or a fine beginning are both possi·
ble. Some time apart will be helpful.
Libra
Calm and cool Libra's temperature is on the rise!
Someone's about to cook the cockles of your heart.
This is not simply infatuation or a romantic fling; it's
somehow different. If you're too cautious, you'll
miss it; if you're simply careful, you can fly.
Scorpio
Balance is being restored to your stressful life. With
questions now coming into clearer focus, your ability
to act on what you understand is rejuvenating.
Ease, missing for some time, returns. Power, finally
concentrated on a purpose, grows.
Be Our Valentine
By AIL\Jl'DA B. BECOBDWITH
The Montrose Voice
We couldn't figure out what on earth to get
for our Valentine, dear fans. All we knew
was that it had to be totally different, because
we have rather a reputation for doing
the strange and unpredictable. It's what
keeps him ticking like a clock on our dresser,
you know. Bot that we would allow him to
sit on our dresser. lut then, one never
knows ...
In China, you send your lover a tiny
rice ball, with a wonderful little Ladyfinger
firecracker inside. When it goes off,
your lover's fingers are burned, and the
consistent pain will make him remember
you every min |
