FALL FESTIVAL STILL HAS OPENINGS
Although the site of the October 25-27 Fall Festival/Women's Retreat has been changed to
Osage Hills, plans for a fulfilling weekend are
proceeding with excitement. Osage Hills State
Park, located between Bartlesville and Pawhuska,
also served as a resort for outlaws in territorial
days and for some years after statehood. The
group camp has cabins with bunks and mattres- .
ses, bathrooms with hot water showers, plus a
large dining area and equipped kitchen. There is
a lake with rental rowboat s and a creek, both
offering good spots for fishing. The world-famous
Woolaroc museum, home of Frank Phillips, is
nearby. There are tennis courts, a softball field,
hiking trails and horseback riding.
The musical treat of the retreat will be Mary
Reynolds and Peggy Johnson. Attendees are also
invited to bring musical instruments. Workshops
will be held throughout the weekend, but there
will be plenty of free time just to do what you
want to do. As of this date, workshops have
been planned on Lesbian Health and Woman Controlled Conception, Internalized Homophobia, International Women's Poetry and Freshwater Population Control (Fishing). Anyone interested in pho. t ography should bring her camera and there will
be some nature photography sessions for those
seeking help, plus a lot of things to "shoot."
You should bring food for the weekend, including
something to cook out Saturday night and somet hing to share with others, a bedroll or sleeping
bag, pillow, towels, toilet articles, flashlight. You
may bring your pets but they have to be kept on
a leash when out of doors.
The retreat is open to lesbian and non-lesbian
women and their children. There will also be
sleeping areas which are designated non-smoking
and/ or alcohol-free spaces, if requested.
Bring arts and crafts for exhibit or sale, plus
networking information.
HSR must know how many are going to attend,
so please send the preregistration form below

When your registration is received, you will be
sent a map, showing the best route to get to
Osage Hills. Celebrate the welcome fall with its
colorful array with us. Registration will begin at
6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 25, and the retreat
will end at noon on Sunday, October 27.

Dear Editor:
I am re-new to the city and discovered Herland a few
weeks after arrival. I want to share my appreciation for
the effort and accomplishments of the womyn who put their
energy into making a place we can call our own.
Sometimes all I need to make it through another week is
an understanding person, a quiet place to prop my feet up,
an inspirational piece of womynsong and a chance to enrich
my sense of reality with literature and discussions with my
own kind. I know there are womyn here in the city who
struggle daily with a restrictive, closed atmosphere at work,
maybe at home, and definitely in most social arenas, and I
would heartily invite one and all to visit, hang out, check
out a book or come to a coffeehouse and get acquainted
with the wonderful womyn who run Herland.
Thanks for being there, Herland!
Terri 0 .

Dear Editor :
I write this brief letter to you in hopes that you will print
it so I may openly share with others the appreciation I
wish to express for the kind consideration I received as an
artist/ singer/ songwriter at the Herland Coffeehouse. In my
ten years as a performer, I cannot remember a more decent, attentive and appreciative audience . Thank you for
the opportunity to perform at your Resource Center.
Sincerely,

Dear Editor and Readers:
I've got a little item of hard news here. Then I'd like to
editorialize a little, if the readers will indulge me. Thursday
night, September 19, The Second Fret held its first ever
Songwriters ' Showcase. Actually, it was a contest; the Fret
has been featuring a songwriters' night for some time now,
and Thursday's Showcase was presented in an effort to
make those events more economically viable. Star attraction
was a first prize of $40 cash money. The competition fielded twenty entrants, about equally divided betwen women
and men . The judges were highly qualified and painfully
impartial. The material offered by the composers was consistently of a high quality and all of it was warmly received by a sizeable house .
So what is my point? In this contest there were five finalists chosen. Of the five, four were women and three of
these were lesbians. It shouldn 't surprise anyone that Peggy
Johnson walked off with the $40. I gave her a tough race
and came in second. The judges were very impress· ed with
Janice Galloway's work (and so was I). In addition, several
other women whose persuasion could not be immediately
determined by this reporter (does it matter?) presented fin e
songs, gave good performances and just gener ally presented
an excellent account of themselves. Those are the cold
hard facts. Now, I'll draw my conclusions.
First of all, it should be evident that The Second Fret is
a n establishment where women and feminists of any persuasion can feel comfortable. I'm pretty sure I can speak for

-

the management when I say that they . (Monica and Mark)
encourage women, bot h performers and customers , to fe el
free to be themselves .
Next, I'd like to point out that all these women who participated in this contest and did so well (really, they are all
so good!) should show us that times are changing. Look,
there is a Jot of talent in OKC. And that talent is not
hanging its head and hiding in the closet. These talented
people are doing their part to get their product to the
street. I can testify to that. Now, what is the public--dis
means youse--doing to cultivate and show appreciation for
their work? I'm not going to answer that for you--you answer it for yourselves.
How long do you think these performers can exist in a vacuum?
It's events like this that make my skin crawl when I hear
people say that there's nothing happening in Oklahoma City,
that there 's no women's community, that there's no place to
socialize except the bars. My blood pressure goes up just
typing these words . Then someone comes in from the West
Coast, one of the big names in women's music, we go along
with their West Coast contracts and their California overheads, we think it's going to be uplifting. Then the atten·
da nce at the concerts is disappointing. The ones who were
going ga-ga over the bit artists are raising the tim~-worn
cry that OKC's community just doesn't support music . Where
were they last Thursday night? Where were they when I
was working six nights a week at Bianca's? And how can
you expect the public here to relate to those metroppolitan
California women, who don't have much more to say to us
than Madonna would? How can they? They don't live here .
They have no idea what our lives are like. How could they?
It's not that these imports haven't encouraged us locals
when they came in contact with us. They, too, have done
their parts. It's the listening public--youse guys--who are
letting us down. Y.And you're letting yourselves down as well.
For every woman who performed Thursday, there is a woman who was conspicuous by her absence. Those songwriters
are only the tip .of the iceberg. yes, some have left town.
Some only, ,play in the sanctity of their living rooms. But
others are' .struggling, right here in Oklahoma, women who
work in aR styles of music, something to satisfy any taste
or lack of/'t it. They are out there.

And, whe~ever you buy a beer at a club, go to a movie,
turn on your TV, you are exercising your economic power.
It is more powerful than your political vote. You are voting
for the kind of cultural environment you want in Oklahoma
City.

What we, the performers, would like to know is, are you
against us or for us?
Thanks for listening,
Mary Reynolds

MARY REYNOLDS, OPENING

EDITORIAL
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS WEEK TO
BE OBSERVED NATIONALLY THIS MONTH
Violence Awareness Week especially causes me
to think of the hundreds of thousands of successful interventions which have been made possible by the work of a phenomenal national
grassroots shelter movement. The women who do
the work of providing safe housing, counseling
and resources are on the cutting edge of revolution against violence in women's and children's
lives.
Violence seems to be as pervasive a social problem as any our country and movement for women
confronts today. We have already learned that t o
exclude any demographic segment of the population from violent acts or argue violence as less
likely to occur among any specific groupis fals e.
As stated in much of the literature, it cuts across all racial, socio-economic, class and cultural lines. This pervasiveness of violence similarly
does not exclude same-gender relationships.
The topic of this editorial is lesbian battery, in
honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Week.
That women do violence to women in relationships is something we must be aware of and as
service providers and friends, take responsibility
for in our community. As with battering among
heterosexual couples, we must be willing to r ecognize that a problem e~ists and provide support to the battered woman.
Barriers for services, I believe, begin with our
unwillingness to see women, rather than men, in
the role of the batterer. Our first response may
be denial of violence in a lesbian relationship.
Our next response, as with heterosexual battering, may be to blame the victim. According t o
J ean Grossholtz, longtime activist in the domestic violence movement and political scientist fro
South Hadley, MA, "nothing in our understanding
of lesbian battering challenges our analysis of
male violence." So the dynamics of the battering
syndrome may be the same. This painfully challenges our attitude toward the abusive woman we
may believe generally incapable of violence.
Barriers for services and intervention in a violent lesbian home is further complicated by the
social isolation and alienation which makes all
services lesbians receive one step removed. As
with heterosexual battered women, lesbians may
be geographically isolated and friendships may be
limited. Intervention and accessing services may
be more difficult for lesbians, however, because
lesbians are generally disenfranchised to at least
a slightly greater degree than heterosexual
women.
When a heterosexual battered woman confides
in a friend, she may or may not be met with a
supportive response. When she makes the deci-

sion to enter shelter, she will probably receive
the services available to her. Whether or not a
battered lesbian enters a shelter is a very big
question, since her batterer is not a man and
her sexual orientation may not be accepted by
shelter staff or residents of the shelter. It may
be that fewer lesbians enter shelter because of
real or imagined homophobia. I believe that often
the battered lesbian turns to her community, her
circle of lesbian friends, for support and safe
space. If she knows of no one she can turn to
for help, she truly confronts the void when considering leaving the abusive relationship.
The issue for the shelter movement should be
the provision of safe space. Women's lives are at
stake, no matter the gender of the batterer. In
les bian relationships, battering still escalates to
serious injury and murder. Shelter staff may insist . they do not discriminate, but this doesn't
take into account the pre-existing barriers to
services. Many shelters probably welcome intakes
from lesbians who simply change the gender of
their batterer on the forms, in counseling and
support groups, and never know. Certainly t his
situation does not treat the whole person, already in crisis. This invisibility needs to stop or
at least be compromised and the feminist women's shelter is a place to begin.
What we can do as members of our community is
to be aware M battery among lesbians, regard it
as a serious crime and not just the way "that
couple solves .problems," or consider it an isolated inqldent · if you can see it isn't. We can
encourag~· the shelter(s) in our area to be responsive / to lesbian battery and to educate themelves about it. The inclusion of lesbians in organizational nondiscrimination policies and in informational brochures which list for whom services are provided will name us and a lesbian in
need of shelter will notice. Specialized inservice
workshops for staff and discussions about servic.e
provision to lesbians in staff orientation will help
diffuse the dis-ease service providers may feel.

TOUCH AND VIOLENCE WORKSHOP IN TULSA
The CentreWorks staff, Beth Field and Lynda
Jacobs, has been working on a unique project
which brings touch and body-centered therapies
to victims of domestic violence. It was envisioned as a way to help heal the trauma of abusive touch and to give battered women a sense
of power and ownership in their own bodies. The
results of the project have been dramatic and
fascinating.

PROJECT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHILDREN
"The Children" fundr aising project is a year-long
campaign to raise money for neglected or physically and sexually abused children in Oklahoma.
The project is designed to supplement already
e:xisting service care organizations who provide
counseling, advocacy, crisis intervention, placement, housing, food and clothing, referrals and
educational resources to Oklahoma children and
their families.
Because many service agencies have experienced
severe funding cuts from state and federal sources, "The Children" projects' goal is to support
agencies who demonstrate a need for additional
funding for their programs.

In 1984, there were over 18,000 reported cases
of abuse or neglect in the state of Oklahoma. Of
these, 6,593 were found to be valid, with over
500 of these being sexual abuse
cases. There
\
were 16 deaths directly attributed to abuse or
neglect.
"The Children" project has speakers available to
your organization. For further information, or to
make a donation, write "The Children," Nancy
Viviani., Project Coordinator, 1014 Cedardale Dr. ,
Oklahoma City, OK 73127 , or call 405-525-5691.

Beginning next spring, the administration for
"The Children" project will publish a request for
proposals from ortanizations. Priority will be given to groups who document a need for additional
funding basedon funding cuts, leading to a r educed capacity to serve their population, or an
increase in client population their services could
r each by an expansion of present services.
The goal of "The Children" fundraising project
after one year is to provide grants ranging from .
$10,000 to $50,000 for up to thirty applicants
within the state. Organizers expect to provide a
significant contribution toward maintaining quality
care for neglected, physically and sexually abused children.
We invite organizations or agencies interested in
making application to contact Nancy Viviani, Project Coordinator, with a letter of intent.
We invite individuals and civic organizations to
get involved in the movement toward ending violence against children by taking an active part
in "The Children" fundraising campaign. It is our
intention to raise 1.6 million dollars before July,
1986, through a statewide, concerted effort on
the part of thousands of individuals and charitable organizations. The first part of the campaign is the placement and maintenance of donatiC!m canisters. We will be placing 500 canisters
across the state in the next month and are requesting volunteers to monitor and mail donations
from canisters in their area. Also, many local
fundraising projects will be taking place across
the state in support of this effort. If you or
your group would like to contribute, "The Children" project staff can assist you.
A large part of "The Children" project's intent is
to draw attention to the plight of our abused
children in Oklahoma, as well as the financial
plight of the agencies which serve them. We believe that through education and better funding,
we can make a difference in the lives of thousands of children in Oklahoma in the coming
year.
