Show Monday, October 20. 1980. THE HERALD. Provo. AAde Burlesque By JOHN C. SPEER Herald Staff Reporter Utah County has had its first taste of genuine male burlesque. Hundreds perhaps thousands of Utah County women have flocked to a private nightclub -dance hall in Northern Utah County to see the county's first all male striptease ect. They call themselves "Body Motion" and they took almost all of it off in front of more than 500 women during their opening night performance two weeks ago. A waitress at the club said an American Fork policeman has been in the club for almost every performance to make sure city laws are not violated, and so far they haven't revealed anything they're not supposed to. For the most part, the women some alone, some with dates come simply out of curiosity. Others come to hoot and holler. Others come to well, those kind come, too. One girl who said she is normally a "good little Mormon girl" and she came "So when I'm 65 I can say I once saw a male stripper." One girl said, "Don't you dare print my name. I called in sick at work to come here tonight." "I think it's funny," said another female patron. "Body Motion" is George Swasey of Provo, Tom Wood of Salt Lake City and "Crazy Lar By LELAND HICKS SPANISH FORK - Mrs. Naoma Draper acted as principal spokeswoman for about fifteen city residents, in asking the Spanish Fork City Council for help with electrical problems they say have plagued the city in the past. They spoke especially about home appliances damaged at the time of a recent lightning flash and a resulting power surge thru the power lines. The citizens stated that they represented only a small number of the many homes damaged by this last storm. TVs, refrigerators, micro-wav- e ovens, light bulbs and many other appliances were burned out. Speaking for members of the group, Mrs. Draper said they feel the present power distribution system is outdated and inadequate. Even the slightest problem with the weather, they said, results in power outages. Lines are hanging loose, the insulation ., is worn off by years of weather and any wind at all causes them to touch together, resulting in a blackout. They want the city power system brought up to proper safety standards before there is a fatal accident, they added. They believe the city makes a profit on the sale of electricity they said, and asked that this profit be turned back into improving the system. Rulon Thomas and Howard Creer, speaking for the council, agreed the power system is far from what the city would like. Although the city makes a profit, it is not enough to permit comthe entire system at pletely once, they countered. Work is being done constantly, and a large new substation which was burned out by the re-- cent lightning flash, situated by the Wils Foodland store, is scheduled to be replaced very soon, they said. Plans have been drawn for improvements in the at the north end of town, plus a new power line to the south, which will permit better transfer of power to damaged areas, they added. They pointed out that the two large outages on June 30 and September 19 were worse than any in any other city along the Wasatch front. Plans are also complete for work which will require $150,000 very soon. Perhaps if electrical rates were as high as neighboring cities enough profit would be generated to permit faster modernization, the councilmen concluded. The group presentd bills for damage done to equipment. The bills were acsubcepted. Later, when the over-al- l ject of the electrical department was being discussed, it was agreed to officially reject all the claims in order that they might be presented to the city's insurance company for consideration. Representatives of the Springville city council met with the Spanish Fork council to discuss city boundaries, the request of land owners north of Spanish Fork and south of Springville for annexation into Springville and the ownership of the airport. sub-stati- It was agreed that the road designated as 4800 South is a natural boundary between the two cities. However there are area in question, essouth of 4800 pecially west of South. Members of the Spanish Fork council explained that the city will not grant annexation unless those requesting it are willing to install a full package of light, water, sewer, police performances. When asked how much she was going to tip. She that's all quipped, "A dollar it's worth." "I think they look better with clothes on," said "Lisa." When they start taking it off I look away." "Sandy" thinks Crazy Larry is the best dancer, but her favorite is George. "I think he's got a good uh " personality she said of San Francisco and Salt Lake City. They say their show is for ry" women only. Crazy Larry wouldn't say how much they make but did reveal it is enough to make this a lucrative part-tim- e job. Their salaries are sup- plemented by eager women who slip one-- , five-- , ten-- , or even bills into the last piece of clothing left after the strip. George came backstage after his performance with at least 10 One woman had a bill in her hand during one of the stripper's and fire protection, and the developer must pay for installing these services. Jud Harward, who owns land in the area being discussed and who represents others in the same area, stated that those asking for annexation have excluded the property of those who would not support annexation, result in a gerymandered boundary. He also said those requesting annexation were really playing Spanish Fork, Springville and the County against each other, trying to get the best deal. He feels they want only part of true annexation and said that many property owners in the area would contest such action when a public hearing is held. Old airport records were studied which show that the two cities are equal partners in ownership. They discussed the need for cleaning the airport and its building up and agreed to form a joint committee to work together and iron out any problems that arise in the future. It was agreed to route the water and sewer lines for the Spanish Oaks golf course direct to the club house and associated facilities. An ordinance was presented by the city attorney changing the zoning of the Lyn Walker property from R-- 3 to CI, as previously approved. The ordinance was approved. A public hearing was nMd to receive input regarding the request of Community Cable TV of Utah for permission to raise the rate from $1.50 to $3.00 for each additional Cable TV outlet per month. There were no adverse comments and the rate increase was approved.

In Utah County, they said, it's a little bit more reserved, but opening night, they said was a little scary with a few close calls. One of the managers said when some police were there for one of the performances, but they went away saying, "We've seen worse than this on soap operas " Crazy Larry said once in a while after the show he'll ask a girl he saw during his act for a date. Although it is called a striptease act, they do leave one or two things to your imagination. "If we showed it all. there would be nothing left to come "I'm slightly embarrassed." admitted Lisa, "Like I wouldn't want anybody to see me. When they really start Moving' I kind of look away."

They all said, even if it were legal in Utah County to bare all. they probably wouldn't do it. The men say they've performed in Salt Lake City at other private clubs, also in Reno and "We go on, do our thing and come off. It's all very professional." They say they haven't called any of the telephone numbers left in their leftovers, and don't accept offers to be picked up. George said he has dated some of the women who come in but only because he met them later School Lunch Touted Officials from Provo School District and Provo City ate lunch with several hundred students at Franklin Elementary School Wednesday as part of National School Lunch Week.
