1963 Tuesday- Jealousy held Motive in Shotgun
slaying by Don Beck [Deseret News B-1] The state opened its case Tuesday
morning as the Jean Sinclair First Degree murder trial moved into the 2nd day.
The entire opening session Monday was used to select an all male jury. Miss
Sinclair, 45, 2300 South nursing home operator is on trial for her life in
Third District Court charged with Jan 5 shotgun ambush slaying of Donald Leroy
Foster, 33, 650 North 2nd West. In his opening statement to the jury, District
Attorney Jay E Banks said the state’s evidence will show that Miss Sinclair, in
an act of jealousy over losing intimate companion Mrs. LaRae
Peterson, shot and
killed Mr. Foster. Claims Jealousy- Mr. Banks said that a close personal
relationship existed between the defendant and Mrs. Peterson, a divorcee, who
was planning to marry Mr. Foster. The
victim was shot in the face at point blank range as he stepped from a car in a
parking lot near his residence shortly after midnight last Jan 5. Mrs. Peterson
who was in the car at the time did not see the assailant, Mr. Banks said.
However, he aid, the state’s evidence will show that Miss Sinclair, for some
time prior to the night of the slaying, planned to kill Foster and discussed
the matter with a friend- a former inmate of the Utah State Prison. Didn’t See
Attacker- Mr. Banks said the ex-convict, now a math major at the University of
Utah will testify that the defendant admitted to him less then an hour after
the shooting that she had killed Foster.
Defense counsel Sumner J Hatch, opening for the defense, challenged the
state to prove his client guilty and said he would produce evidence which would
convict the “state’s star witness”- the
ex-convict mentioned by Mr. Banks. He told the jury his client was not guilty
of the crime, that she will provide an alibi for the night of the slaying and
that the state cannot prove its case.

1970 Thursday Complaints were signed before
city Judge Melvin Morris, charging two non University of Utah students Victor
Gordon and Jean Claud Chananot with using “lewd or obscene” words at speeches
at an anti-War Rally held April 15th on the U of U campus. The men arrested
were black and members of the Black Brothers Organization Society. (04/17/1970

1977-Renee Richards, a transsexual tennis player, was ruled eligible to play in the women's division by a New York judge. She
was then denied entry into the 1976 US Open by the United States Tennis
Association, which began that year requiring genetic screening for female
players. She disputed this policy, and the New York Supreme Court ruled in her
favor in 1977 in a decision in favor of transsexual rights. As one of the first
professional athletes to identify as such, she became a spokesperson for the
transgender community. After retiring, she coached Martina Navratilova to two
Wimbledon titles. Richards has since expressed ambivalence about her legacy,
and came to believe her past as a man provided her with advantages over her
competitors, saying “Having lived for the past 30 years, I know if I’d had
surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in
the world would have been able to come close to me. And so I’ve reconsidered my
opinion.”

1989 OPEN SPACES, DARK NOOKS SERVE AS ARENAS
FOR CRIME Parks can be havens for
leisure or exercise, but when the area around a park deteriorates, or when a
regional park attracts a broad clientele, the open
space can be an arena for trouble.
While Jordan Park, 1000 S. Ninth West, is home to acres of playground and the
International Peace Gardens, it is also the stage for an abnormally high number
of murders and other violent crimes. Last summer, one man was beaten and shot,
and another was beaten, robbed and left to die in Jordan Park. Less than two
weeks ago, a homicide victim was found in the Jordan River adjacent to the
Peace Gardens. Many areas of the Jordan Park are dark and secluded, providing
havens for criminals with more on their minds than a picnic. "This is kind
of a tough neighborhood," said Rick Graham, assistant director of parks
for Salt Lake City, explaining the high crime rate at Jordan Park. But Jordan
Park isn't the only city park that attracts violent crimes like a magnet.
Pioneer Park downtown has a train locomotive on static display that would
thrill most any youngster. Yet the park, located on Third West, is shunned by
the public because of its reputation - a well-deserved one - as a hangout for
vagrants and other undesirables during the daylight hours. And when darkness
falls, the locomotive is far from the park's biggest attention-getter, as
police routinely respond to frequent stabbings, robberies and other assaults on
the park's grounds. While the parks department sinks a great deal of money and
resources into maintaining its parks, it doesn't have the funds to provide
security. "We don't have rangers" with law enforcement capabilities,
Graham said. Salt Lake City attracts more than its share of trouble because the
downtown area is a collecting place for people who end up in the Salt Lake
Valley with nowhere else to go. City parks can by no means be written off as
permanent enclaves for hoodlums, however. Liberty Park in Salt Lake City's
Central City area once was plagued by murders, rapes and other problems. But
after years of making improvements on the park, limiting traffic and changing
areas of the park once frequented only by trouble-makers into a children's
playground, Liberty Park has been returned to families.
1989 David Sharpton is back in town
from the AIDS Conference in San Francisco
and he called to visit. He said the
talk of the Conference was the new drug Compound Q which kills the AIDS virus
in the test tube. It comes from a Chinese cucumber root. It's never been tested
on people yet. David says he's lost about 20 lbs. since I saw him last. Three
people died this past week of AIDS including Mark Padrona who helped started
the People With AIDS Coalition. Rob Ivie
is being an Asshole again to David. [Journal of Ben Williams]

1996 Gay-Friendly Firms List in
`Pink Pages' Byline: By Lili Wright THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE So you are looking for a psychologist who
specializes in gay relationships. Or perhaps you need a real estate agent, one
who isn't homophobic. Find them in the
``pink pages,'' a telephone directory of gay and gay-friendly businesses along
the Wasatch Front. Founded three years
ago, the Rainbow Connection Directory allows lesbians and gays to support
businesses that support them. Last year the 40-page guide had 300 listings.
Publisher Mark Talboom predicts the 1996 guide will top 500. Talboom, who plans
to shorten the directory's name this year to The Connection, says the directory
has been a success. ``I have had quite a bit of business from it,'' says the
Salt Lake City chiropractor. ``People are looking for gay-friendly
resources.'' Like lesbians and gays
across the country, a growing number of Utah homosexuals are choosing to
patronize companies that support their politics. In the same way, Talboom says
he wants to avoid businesses who don't believe lesbians and gays deserve equal
rights. ``The color of our money is the
same,'' he says. ``They will take our money and turn around and use it to
deprive us ofour basic rights.'' While
many homosexuals do not reveal their sexual orientation, the disposable income
of the gay market is no longer a secret. One research group, Chicago-based
Overlooked Opinions, puts the U.S. gay market at $514 billion annually. Brad
Dundas, a real estate agent with Wardley Better Homes and Gardens, has watched
his gay and lesbian clientele grow from 16% of his gross sales in 1992 to 54%
last year. While Dundas says he has gotten more referrals off gay Internet
sites than the telephone directory, he plans to advertise again. ``It's a
valuable resource,'' he says. Even major corporations like AT&T are getting
into the act. Renee Rinaldi, executive
director of the Utah Stonewall Center, recently
received a long distance
direct-mail ad depicting gay couples and decorated with pink triangles, a sign
of gay solidarity. Utah's telephone directory is another tool that lesbians and
gays can use to gain influence, she says.
``It's important to let the business world know that we exist,'' she
says, ``that our money is good, and if you want it, you need to treat us
right.'' Modeled after Colorado's
statewide Pink Pages, Utah's guide charges from $15 for a three-line listing to
$120 for a full-page ad. Social-service agencies, from the Rape Crisis Center
to Family Fellowship, a Mormon gay support group, are listed free. Last year, Talboom broke even after printing
2,000 copies. He donated directories to the Stonewall Center, Salt Lake City's
gay community center, which charges $1 a guide.
May 10 is the deadline for listings and ads for the 1996 directory,
which will appear on national Gay Pride Day in June.

2003 History and Identity by Ben Williams.
During the Irish Republican uprising against British Rule in the 1920's, the
Irish Government Building housing the national archives and public registry for Ireland was blown up. The
historical and genealogical records of the Irish people in a flash were destroyed
leaving an unrepairable scar on the national identity of the Irish. This week
in Iraq the following was recorded by a British reporter: Books, Priceless
Documents Burn In Sacking Of Baghdad By Robert Fisk The Independent - UK 4-14-3
"So, yesterday was the burning of books. First came the looters, then the
arsonists. It was the final chapter in the sacking of Baghdad. The National
Library and Archives - a priceless treasure of Ottoman historical documents,
including the old royal archives of Iraq – were turned to ashes in 3,000
degrees of heat. Then the library of Korans at the Ministry of Religious
Endowment was set ablaze. I saw the looters. One of them cursed me when I tried
to reclaim a book of Islamic law from a
boy of no more than 10. Amid the ashes of
Iraqi history, I found a file blowing in the wind outside: pages of handwritten letters between the court of
Sharif Hussein of Mecca, who started the
Arab revolt against the Turks for Lawrence of Arabia, and the Ottoman rulers of Baghdad." Before
many of you may think so what...Iraq's history is also our history since the land between the two
rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates is
Mesopotamia: the cradle of Civilization. Priceless artifacts from our ancestors have
disappeared. Yes our ancestors since only by degrees are you not an Iraqi and
could have been if our ancestors would not have gone wandering- think Abraham a
Mesopotamian from Ur. As Gay people who believe we are a semi-ethnic minority,
if not by who we chose to love then by
culture, we have a duty to preserve,
guard, and protect our history. It is a well known stratagem that
to truly defeat a people you must
destroy their history. Unfortunately it is often from our own people, that it
is necessary to defend this history, as was the case when the Utah Stonewall
Center's archives were closed. Then
there are others who are so driven to assimilate into the mainstream heterosexual culture that
they will discard history that does not fit their agenda. The Utah Stonewall
Historical Society must dedicate its resources to the task of leaving a legacy of cultural and
historical identity to the heirs of Stonewall. It will not be easy but it is a
worthy effort.

I remember first reading your article and thinking what sensationalism.
But I was talking to a female friend of mine in Spring City, Utah and she told
me something that she said she wouldn't tell anyone else. That she had a friend
or acquaintance who said a few years ago that he was excommunicated from the
church because he said that he grew up with Gordon B. and that he was gay. He
wouldn't retract it and was promptly kicked out of the church. I can't verify
this but I thought it interesting after reading your post. Robert in Spring

2010 Park City passes anti-discrimination
ordinance Council action » New rules protecting gays mirror those passed by
Salt Lake City. By Christopher Smart The Salt Lake Tribune Updated: 04/16/2010
Park City » Utah Senate President
Michael Waddoups wasn't present Thursday
evening at the Park City Council meeting for a vote on an anti-discrimination
ordinance, but his shadow seemed to hang over the place. The Taylorsville Republican had warned, not
once but twice, that municipalities ought not go beyond Salt Lake City's
recently adopted ordinance aimed at protecting gays and lesbians. In the months
leading up to last evening's vote, Park City Mayor Dana Williams had publicly
mulled a city code that would disallow without exceptions employers and
landlords from discriminating against those groups. Salt Lake City's ordinance
lists exemptions for religious organizations, employers with 15 or fewer
employees and landlords with less than four rental units. The new law is
supported by the LDS Church. In a nod toward progress but with the conservative
legislative leader in mind, the Park City Council unanimously approved an
anti-discrimination ordinance that mirrors Salt Lake City's. In an interview,
Williams said he would be "remiss" if actions taken by Park City
spurred legislative actions that would punish other municipalities or bring
repercussions to Park City. "I can live with matching Salt Lake City for
now," the mayor said. "But it's something we will follow because all
classes should have protection from discrimination." In an interview, Waddoups said Park City's
action would be well received by the Legislature. He had signaled in February
that if municipalities adopted anti-discrimination ordinances that went beyond
Salt Lake City's ordinance he would consider legislative action. He reinforced
that statement earlier this month. "Message sent, message received,"
he said upon hearing Park City's proposal in advance of Thursday's vote.
Waddoups, who is in the property management business, said he has heard from
people who "may own a duplex who want to be able to decide who they live
next door to." Councilwoman Liza Simpson noted that Park City's legal
staff recommended the council follow closely what Salt Lake City had passed.
She added that Park City has worked hard over the past decade to forge a
"good working relationship" with the Legislature and she wants to
keep it that way. "I'm disappointed we still live in a country where
protections have to have exemptions," she said. "But this is a step
in the right direction." An organization called Equality Utah has launched
what it calls its "Ten in 2010" campaign to urge 10 more
municipalities and counties to pass anti-discrimination legislation. Other Utah cities considering similar action
include West Valley City, Moab, Ogden, Holladay, Taylorsville and Midvale.
Summit County also is looking at anti-discrimination laws. csmart@sltrib.com
