The skunk paced back and forth through the night, as we watched in the darkness behind the basement window. the cedar post-line- Renee Nelson window-wel- l, d clinging for its life by its front paws. It was a losing battle. He fell into the well leaving his partner pawing at the earth. "Lucky for you the window-we- ll got the skunk, or the skunks would have aimed for you," my husband pointed out. The skunks apparently got something though, because the musk was definitely "eau de skunk." I didn't realize until the next morning, when I read about them in the World Book Encyclopedia that their perfume can be shot for a distance of 12 feet. The entire porch would have been a shambles of oily "eau de" and the bathtub would have When we finally crawled back into bed, we had all kinds of visions of "Pepe le Pew" being with us forever. We thought of calling the police department, animal control or someone with a gun not a shotgun though, because our worst nightmare was that the window would somehow get broken and an unwanted guest would be thrust into our midst. But by morning, when we went to check him out, the skunk was missing. It was doubtful that this breed of skunk could crawl up the vertical window-we- ll logs. But there were clues. Like a pile of dirt in one corner and signs of digging at the side. Since they have been known to burrow under houses and even bear their young there, it seemed probable that it was a and she had set up housekeeping behind the logs she-skun- k, which showed signs of digging from underneath and behind. To get her out; this was the Bible Jody Lant of Orem is the new Utah National Teen pageant winner. She competed with 42 other Utah teenagers for the honor on June 18, and spent the week following the pageant in California where she received orientation about the national pageant, which at the Lehi will be Aug. 9-- iJjO Jody Lant Resort Hotel in Lehi, Fla. Pat Boone will be host at the final televised competition. The 5 ft 9 in. brunette is the oldest of nine children of John and Cheryl Lant. The teens in the pageant are judged on talent, evening gown, interview and community service. For her talent, the 1983 Mountain View High School graduate sang "For Once in My Life." This is Miss Lant's first pageant, and for her win she received a $10,000 scholarship to Oklahoma University and $1,000 scholarship from Barbizon Modeling in Salt Lake City, plus $500 cash and a trip for national competition. The pageant has winners in the 50 states and Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico! It offers more than $2 million dollars in cash and scholarships. Miss Lant has been accepted to Brigham Young University where she plans to major in elementary education and attend a semester abroad in Europe to study music. Her hobbies include singing and performing with a group called "Just Us." She also dances and jogs. "You didn't dust the board," my husband said. "You completely immersed it with flour." ogist Second, since you have so many millions of readers, why don't you get together with a good gynecol- "I wanted the skunk to have a nice white trail in the moonlight," I said. "And besides, I thought it might rain, and I didn't want to lose all the flour." "It was a downpour," he agreed, "of flour. Even if the skunk did come out, it would slide on your slippery flour." But slick or not, there was no up or down sign of any paws the first night. And alas, none the second night either. Meanwhile the entire house has the essence of skunk and the offender is still loose. It even seems to have permeated my car, and like the little lamb, it follows me to work. Oh, for the good old days when all we had to worry about were rattlers and black widow spiders in Provo's foothills. Dear Dorothy: First, I do mention God frequently in my column, but let me assure you He does not need the "publicity." The Bible is still the No. 1 best-selland has been for many years. Second, I am not about to recommend the rhythm method. It works only for those women whose periods are predictably regular, and even then it sometimes fails. Many other forms of birth control are more dependable. So if you don't mind, I'll leave this to the gynecologists. er Dear Ann Landers: Recently you ran a letter that made my blood run cold. It could have been written by me. Every word that woman wrote described my own life. Named Miss. Other finalists were Julie Ann Crane, Vernal, second runnerup; McKette Hinkins, Orange ville, third runnerup; and Lisa Burdick, Sunnyside, fourth runnerup. Contestants, ranged in age from 14 to 18, and were judged on scholastic and civic achievements, grooming, poise, personality, and in school. The Utah Modern Miss program is directed by Carolyn and explain the rhythm method of birth control? It would be a tremendous service. Dorothy E. In Topeka, Kan. volunteer service. They must GPA or better maintain a C. Lewis of Orem. Jeannine Lewis, Orem, was emcee for the Utah State competition. For 30 years I was married to a man who wouldn't let me read a magazine or book about love stories. If a tenderly affectionate scene appeared on the TV screen, he turned it off. The man was insanely jealous of any male who said a word to me including a friendly "good morning" by a neighbor. Immediately he would accuse me of seeing the man behind his back. One day I found lipstick on his collar. Two weeks later there was another shade of lipstick on his handkerchief. The following week I discoverd a hairpin stuck in the sleeve of his tweed jacket. It all came together. This animal who had been accusing me all those years was guilty of cheating. Your advice to the woman who wrote, "If you stick around, be prepared for a life of hell," was perfect. I did NOT stick around. I divorced the bum and these last four years have been my best. Keep dishing out your huge dollops of common sense and wisdom. The A Forever Fan world needs it. In California day-brig- Dear Ann Landers: You often use the word "normal" in a backhanded, liberal manner when writing about homosexuality. Over the years I have seen a variety of presentations. Usually you say something like this: "I cannot accept homosexuality as normal." Invariably you attempt to draw attention to the word "normal" by placing quotation marks around it. Does this mean you belong to an elitist segment of society that knows the true meaning of the world? Will you, once and for all, explain why you consider homosexuals abnormal? This view is totally inconsistent with the enlightened common sense you have demonstrated over the years. Sign this letter '&"M&2sSr A Truth-Seeke- r, USA. Dear USA: While homosexuality seems normal for those who are physically drawn to members of In fact, to them their owe sex heterosexuality seems abnormal I stand firm in my contention that homosexuality is not normal. It is my belief that when God made man and woman He instilled in them sexual desires for one another so they would procreate. That was his divine plan to people the earth. Homosexuals do not experience desires for intimacy with members of the opposite sex. They are turned on by members of their own sex. Since their sexual behavior does not square with the plan for procreation, I believe in that sense they are abnormal. I do not use the word in a pejorative or judgmental manner. For 25 years I have fought for the civil rights of homosexuals and I shall continue to do so. Among their number are many bright, creative, and warm-hearte- d W.

NELSON Herald Women's Editor I have been awakened by barking dogs, quacking ducks, racing cars and leaky taps. But this was ridiculous. It sounded like a dying duck. And since we had ducks, it seemed probable that it was a dying duck, perhaps being attacked by an unyielding predator. Even the neighborhood dogs were yowling in unison. It was like a 3 a.m. horror movie without the video. But momentarily we would have video. As we turned on the outside lights, we saw to our amazement a couple of skunks sauntering across the lawn, in a duet of mating noises.
