GUMP&AYERS RIAL STATE INC Park Meadows Plaza 1500 Kearns Blvd. Park City, Utah 84060 and 1030 Park Avenue A few observations on this year's Snowflaker's Ball: This is the first time I can recall people dancing on the tables at Snowflaker's. I guess if you can't dance on the ceiling like Lionel Richie, this is the next best thing. At the ticket desk, a sign said "General Admission." Who is this General Admission, and what branch of the service is he or she in? This is what happens when your theme is "MASH"! The Chamber folks kindly provided me with a priest's outfit in order to lend the proper religious touch to the proceedings. I was the first bi-denominational cleric in the Army Elder Mulcahy. They even had a confessional booth set up. But I couldn't get any confessions! I asked Randy Fields to confess his sins, but he suggested I talk to someone in city ci-ty government instead. The most popular gimmick of the night was the hypodermic needle that shpritzed people with water. As a matter of fact, I was "baptized" by Debbi Fields. She claimed it was holy water. I think that means I have a special dispensation now. Wasn't the Walter & Hayes band hot? The most popular character of the night was undoubtedly un-doubtedly Klinger, the cross-dressing corporal from Toledo. In fact, a highlight of the evening was the parade of Klingers on the dance floor. It included such familiar faces as Don Gomes, Blair Feulner, Tom Cam-mermeyer Cam-mermeyer and Ron Perry, who is sometimes known as the county assessor. (Whatever else he does, I'll always be proud of Perry for last weekend). The members of The Park Record staff distinguished distinguish-ed themselves for rowdiness. A certain person among them was seen trying to persuade people to chug-a-lug martinis. Apparently this involves opening a mini, perching per-ching an olive on top, and guzzling it down. Speaking of Klingers, what could equal the appearance ap-pearance of ChamberBureau head Bill Klinger himself. He paraded onto the dance floor in an outfit worthy of Princess Di. Also noteworthy were his handmaidens, clad in bath towels and strewing popcorn. By the way, isn't it interesting how ' crushed, stepped-on popcorn adds a certain texture to the dance floor? Judging from the slickness of the floor, it must have been buttered. Next year, we'll do a "Dallas-Dynasty" theme. Everyone can raid Thaynes Canyon residents for outfits. And the ball will be climaxed by a catfight tournament in the Yarrow swimming pool. House Speaker Glen Brown has never sponsored a dumb bill, like any normal Utah legislator. But I think I have one for him. My idea starts with a UPI news item. In San Mateo, Calif., a 450-pound Bengal was brought on stage during a pep rally at San Mateo High. During the rally, the big cat got overly excited, jumped off stage, and landed on the tackle for the school football team. Having a tiger there didn't even make sense. The team was called the San Mateo Bearcats. (Their opponents, by the way, were the Burlingame High Panthers. Wonder how many casualties they suffered at THAT pep rally?) But the basic point you understand, is that it's foolish for high schools to have such dangerous mascots. And this is where Representative Brown comes in. He can sponsor a bill that requires high schools to only name athletic teams after mild and inoffensive creatures. I know one high school, for instance, where the team lost so much that it's official animal was the lemming. Pep rallies weren't dangerous at all, but they had to keep replacing their lemming. At the height of excitement, excite-ment, the little creature would throw itself into a water pitcher and drown itself. You can find a variety of mascots in Summit County. North Summit High has the Braves, which may lead to a few attacks from the Indian civil-rights lobby. South Summit has the Wildcats, which bears a certain resemblance to San Mateo's "Bearcats." They should watch out. But in Park City, we have the Miners. This means that our mascot is either a hard-working guy in a metal hat, or an underage girl brought across the Wyoming state line. Reportedly, the football team has been lobbying long and hard for the second choice. When all is said and done, though, what's in a name? When I was growing up, the most fearsome athletic team was the Jordan High Beetdiggers. You wouldn't expect the Beetdiggers to be so tough on the football field. But you'll find that when a group team has a ridiculous name, they have to get tough. This is known as the "Boy Named Sue" syndrome. Keep that in mind. If the Park City School District sets up another elementary school, the team should be called the Malnourished Albinos. Sitrnke si Venun by Teri Gomes Please, help them get help The first time my friend was abused she was in her early twenties and pregnant with her first child. She remembers siding with her in-laws, nice middle-class people, over some mundane topic with which her young husband disagreed. He took her, then four-months pregnant preg-nant into the bathroom, threw her up against the wall and slapped her face, hard, and told her never to disagree with him in front of anyone again. She said she learned from this experience something she had never learned from her loving upbringing: Talking Talk-ing back will get you beat up. She tried very hard not to disagree anymore. But she was a spirited person and it was hard for her not to talk back, now and then. Now and then, she says she got beat up. By the time she was pregnant with their second child they were established in a small Colorado town. I knew them as a seemingly handsome young family in a nice home with nice friends and going to a nice church. She couldn't tell her doctor why, but she told him she was suffering from terrible headaches blinding headaches and he prescribed some tranquilizers for her. She remembers taking them for a week, then fearing fear-ing she'd have some kind of malformed child, she threw the rest down the toilet. Her headaches and his beatings continued. I liked her husband, everybody did. He was a good-looking, good-looking, carefree young man who spent a lot of time with his children. She said after the birth of her second child she knew she needed help, but she was so embarrassed she didn't know where to turn. No one would ever believe anything bad about Tony. She told me that once, in desperation, she tried telling her story to her son's nursery school teacher. She told her she was lucky to have a husband, that most wives got slapped from time to time, and not to be so melodramatic. It set her back three years. Finally with her neck in a brace she went to her minister, afraid his job would be to counsel her to make her marriage work. But this was a man of God and he told her he could not in good faith tell her to try harder to make things any better. He told her to leave him and he said he would support her. But he warned her there was little future in talking to anyone about the beatings. "Just say you grew to be different people." And that's exactly what she told us. When she left him that town talked and speculated she had taken up with another man, they didn't know what man, just another man. Many of us felt sorry for the handsome man who was no longer allowed to be part of his young family. During the divorce Tony threatened to kill her often. He said then he would have full custody of the children. , She told me that after a while she began to date and Tony would come to the house and rattle the locked doors and beam his car lights into the windows of the house. And once when the babysitter was there he came in and ripped all the pictures off the walls while the children slept. He told the sitter to tell his ex-wife she was lucky she hadn't been in the house. She remembered he waited in the bushes until her date brought her home that evening. Then called her to describe the goodnight words she had just spoken, so she called the sheriff to ask for protection. He said unless an actual crime had been committed, like, was she bleeding or anything, no, well then there was nothing he could do. Eventually she could stand it no more. She packed up all her possesions and her now three small children and moved a few states away to start over. Last week we talked for the first time in a very long time about her scars that don't show. She remarried happily and her ex remarried. This past summer he got divorced and last month she called his old number and talked to the second ex. The woman asked if Tony had ever been physically abusive with her when they were married and my friend confessed it was something she should have discussed with her years ago. The second wife then told a far more sordid tale of broken collarbones and beatings that resulted in aborted pregnancies. My friend said she was so sorry, she should have warned the woman years ago. But the second wife answered honestly, it wouldn't have made any difference, "I was too in love and I never would have believed you anyway." My friend hung up the phone and cried. For herself, after years of denying her hurt and shame, and for her children who know none of this as teenagers and adore their father, and for the second wife who suffered far worse than she had. She called me and said that as a writer and a friend I had an obligation to tell her story and tell people where they could go for help. So I'm writing this. I don't want my surprised reaction to be the reaction others may have others who can help people in abusive situations. Because my friend thinks maybe things would have been different if she and he had gotten help early on. I made a few calls about spouse abuse and the laws here in Utah are clear and strict. If you call the police for a domestic disturbance and there is probable cause to believe a crime against a person per-son has occurred, they must arrest the abuser. That person per-son can then get help when they are referred by the judge to a counseling center, like the Park City Family Counseling Institute which has seen a marked increase in the number of abuse cases each year. There are also safe houses in the county where women and children can go for the night, or longer, if they are being threatened. It probably strikes a vein with the frequent reader of this space that this is not a normal column. It was painful pain-ful to write and I'm sorry if it was painful or uncomfortable uncomfor-table to read. But no one ever deserves to live in a relationship rela-tionship in fear. If you know of someone who is being abused or who is abusing someone else, help them get help. My friend said she eventually anonymously helped with the establishment of safe houses in that small town she and Tony had lived in. But as happy and successful as she feels now she says she still wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night shaking and sobbing, remembering remember-ing the fear. If only we had known...
