Idaho (AP) — The folks at Huddle Tavern are nuts over Simon the squir rel, and they're not ashamed to admit it. On Simon's behalf, they've raised a squirrel house — complete with a dumb waiter to transport favorite filberts — above the beer garden "We do dumb things for entertainment, like train squirrels." said Jerri Samuels, a bartender at the Huddle. "Wo made a pet out of him. so we have to lake care of him." said customer Carole Crawford, who regularly brings boxes of nuts to the tavern for Simon. Bar owner Mabel Stric.kler said Simon was born in a tree in the tavern's beer garden about a year ago The squirrel house was raised earlier this month. The squirrel comes into the bar and retrieves nuts from the jukebox, bar stools and even atop a beer bottle sitting on the pool table Strinkler has assembled a photo album to re< ord the squirrel’s best performances. There's also a jar for the "Simon Nut Fund ' He's smart. I don't care what they say." Stick ler said Case in point Ever since Simon got the new tWo made a pet out of him, so wo turn to toko carm of him.9 — Carole Crawford, customer house with a dumbwaiter, he seems to prefer to have nuts delivered rather than doing tricks for them, Striekler said. Squirrel-y jokes are popular here. too. "Simon's got a prettier tail than most of the oth er folks around here," said customer Bud Skiens "There's too much wild life in here already," another patron added. Simon is believed to be a family squirrel. There's a wife. Henrietta, and three babies: Inky. Dinky and Stinky, Striekler said. Dennis Thorson. who delivers Iteer to the tavern, said he sometimes gets waylaid waiting for Simon to finish showing off But occasionally even a squirrel can go too far, like the time Simon dropped a nut in a pocket of one of the bar's pool tables, stopping play until it could be fished out. "That's the troubie. we got him spoiled," Strick ler said. "He's sort of a mascot. I'm sure he's the only squirrel in town with his own (photo) album and penthouse." Lesbians having sex with males risk HIV SAN FRANCIStX) (AP) — Some women who identify ns lesbians still have* st*\ with men. and that puts them at risk for IUV infec tion. two studies.showed One of the studies l>\ the San Francisco Department of Health showed that one-quarter of the women who identified themselves as lesbians had had sex with men in the past three years, Stephen Mills, assistant chief of prevention lor the Health Department's AIDS Office, said The "myth-dissolving'' data should prompt health providers to tar get AIDS education at self-described lesbians whose sexual activity may be riskier than once thought, he said "They may hang out with the lesbian community but their sexual Iwhaviordoes not reflect that.'" Mills said. Researchers for the San Francisco Department of Public Health revealed that the HIV-infection rate among the two groups surveyed was 1.2 [Hirvent. or three tunes the rate for all San Francisco women. The surveys included both lesbian and bisexual women. "Both surveys show very high levels of unsafe sexual behaviors with male and female partners, but still no clear evidence of woman to-woman infection.” One survey — of 4‘>H women at popular night spots — found six cases of HIV infection. Overall, alioiit HO percent of the women sur veyed said they had bad sex with bisexual men and roughly 10 per cent reported injection drug use in the past 10 years. The second study found that 47 percent of lesbians and 5H percent of bisexual women said they did not always practice safe sex when having sex with men. That study looked at 4H3 women in various community locations. Said lesbian activist Judith Cohen of the San Francisco-based group Lesbian Avengers. "We need to stop the denial and apathy, and start paying attention. Lesbian women ore not immune. This is our wake-up call — and wo and the fecieral government should take notice." Public health officials echoed their demands. "Although the rates of HIV infection among lesbian and bisexual women are currently low, these rates may rise given the high levels of risk behaviors in this population," said Department of Health epi demiologist Dr George tamp.
