Today I'm going to tell you readers something I've never told anyone before in my life. It's something I myself have known all along yet never confided in Mom and Dad, never openly discussed with even my girl friend. (Okay, okay. So I don't have a girl friend but I do have a mom and dad.) It is something, too, that I've confessed to not a single bartender. I, Gary Heins (Captain of His Own Ship), am a victim of circumstance. The other morning, when the waitress brought me sausage instead of bacon, I think, is the straw that broke the camel's back. Up until that moment in my life, I somehow wasn't so bothered by being a victim of circumstance. . I started realizing the big circumstances I'm victimized by: I'm twenty-four years old, male, good-looking, wholesome, and single. And, in the prime of my life, I'm naturally looking for a companion. Searching for a companion is the hardest thing of all. Some say, "Don't go looking for a companion" but, if you'll notice, the people who say that usually already have a companion (or they don't want one now because of the last jerk, or bitch). Now, it's not as though I've placed a personal ad in the Sunday Tribune saying: "Lonely 24-year-old male, with or without mustache, in search of everlasting love and companionship. Send credentials and recent photo to Box 4166." It's not like that at all. If I'm not looking for a companion, I'm at least on the lookout for one; I've got the Bonoffian "I hope I'll know her if she's ever near " syndrome. Why, do you suppose, we see so many ads . placed these days by people looking for love and friendship? Why do we see so many ads by firms like the Continental Marriage Bureau? Monday night, with the US Film Festival being in town, I thought I'd better see that movie "The Personals' and find out more about this new phenomenon. Fingering my way through the schedule, I found that it wasn't offered on Monday night. (Just another circumstance.) But I noticed another movie that I should go see: "Sophie's Choice." I just couldn't pass up the premiere of "Sophie's Choice." Not that I'm big on paying ten bucks for a premiere, considering I have a hard time budgeting two or three dollars for a movie. It's just that someone gave me the book "Sophie's Choice" over a " year ago, for personal reasons, and I somehow (due to circumstances beyond my control) never got around to reading it. It was in March of '81 when I was a writer on the Montana State campus paper and a ski instructor at Bridger Bowl. A young enchantress named Sydel skied over to me and hinted that she'd like to know more about the illustrious Gary Heins and being free for the afternoon, I was glad to oblige. And we had a wonderful afternoon together getting to know each other. The next day, one of the girl ski instructors took me aside and said, "Gary, you know Sydel's married, don't you?" Sydel came by the locker room a few days later. I was done teaching for the day and just about on my way home. "Gary," she said, "I think I owe you an apology. I should have told you that I'm married. I hope I haven't gotten you frustrated... Here's a present for you: Sophie's Choice. It's a wonderful book, and the protagonist in there, Stingo, reminds me a lot of you. " (The thing that went through my mind right then was: "That book looks like more than six hundred pages thick! As an English major with seven other novels to read in the next few weeks, how am I ever going to open it? and it's too big to fit under a short table leg.) I graciously accepted the book, of course And then Sydel, married as she was, apologized further by offering to buy me a drink. See what I mean? Victim of circumstance.

The IRS is giving away money Most press releases from the Internal Revenue Service Ser-vice tell stories about individuals indivi-duals who have been dragged into court for failure to pay back taxes. But here's one with a new twist. According to a Dec. 21 press release from the IRS, the government is trying to find almost 500 Utahns to give them some money back. Carol M. Fay, director of the IRS Salt Lake City district, said that refund checks worth $187,293 were returned by the Postal Service Ser-vice as undeliverable. Fay says that taxpayers may have moved or changed their last names during the year and failed to notify the IRS. With the IRS press release was a list of those Utah residents who still have money coming back. The list includes five residents of Summit County: Daniel Childers, James J. Owens and Patrick C. Pettit all of Park City; and Ronnie E. Wilson and Diane C. Wilson of Coalville. If you think you have a refund coming and have moved or changed your name during the last year, contact the IRS at 1-800-662-5370. wr i 5 Claimjumper Restaurant 1 OATS I WEES 6 -10 7EEDATS 6 -11 WEXEfSS Main Street 649-8051 |
