Tavern goes nuts over squirrel
NATIONAL
LEWISTON. 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

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.
