WESTERN STATES POWER OUTAGES (7/2/1996)
Electricity and phone service was knocked out Tuesday for millions of customers from Canada to the southwest after power lines throughout the West inexplicably failed on a record-hot day. The blackout tangled traffic, and hospitals and air-traffic controllers were forced to use emergency measures. The outage also darkened flashy casinos and shut off air conditioners as temperatures soared into the 100s in some areas. It affected parts of Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, as a series of outages spread through the region. Utility officials could not explain what caused the blackouts. At the center of the outage were three 500-kilovolt transmission lines that extend from the hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest down to the southwest. Each supplies up to 2-point-2 million homes. At one point, all three lines were knocked out, but authorities were unsure whether the lines caused the outages or were affected by a problem elsewhere. "We're still trying to figure that out," said Perry Gruber, a spokesman for the Bonneville Power Administration in Oregon, which oversees the power grid for the Pacific Northwest. Gary Donnelly, a spokesman for Pacificorp in Portland, Oregon, said four 500 megawatt coal-fired power plants at Rock Springs, Wyoming, went off-line about two-thirty P-M Mountain time Other power stations also were knocked off-line, including the Jim Bridger Power Generation station in Wyoming, the Idaho Power Hell's Canyon plant on the Snake River in Idaho and the Pawnee Power Plant in Brush, Colorado. "This is a significant system disturbance," Donnelly said. "How far it extends and the length of its duration, I can't tell you that now." Much of the power was restored later in the afternoon. The outages, which also affected telephone service in some areas, were spotty and some areas were not affected, even within cities that had blackouts. The outage came on a day when utilities were stretched to their limits, with afternoon temperatures ranging from the 90s to above 100. Salt Lake City had a record high of 102. Joe Marshall of Idaho Power Company said the outage occurred when one of the three main transmission lines connecting the Pacific Northwest with California failed. That forced all the power onto the two remaining lines, which couldn't handle the load and shut down, he said. "It was probably overload, or there was some fault, but it would be anybody's guess what occurred," and it could be days before anyone knows for sure, he said. Most hospitals and emergency services were able to switch to auxiliary power. Federal Aviation Administration officials in Seattle said air traffic controllers were able to use backup power generators. In Denver, people rushed out for ice or gas for their cars. Long lines quickly formed at gas stations. In northern Nevada, police in Reno and Sparks reported so many traffic lights out of service that they ran out of temporary stop signs. Casinos in Reno briefly lost power, as did about 90,000 customers across northern Nevada and eastern California. Electricity was cut to thousands of homes and businesses in northern California. Carnival rides briefly stopped working at the Del Mar fair. Only minimal problems were reported in Los Angeles. Southern California Edison customers in parts of the city had 15-minute power outages, said Edison spokesman Steve Hansen. Offices went dark and air conditioners fell silent in some of the sleek glass-and-steel buildings in Denver. "On a hot day, it takes no time to turn a modern office building into an incubator," said Mark Willoughby, an office worker at the Denver Tech Center. "There's no ventilation and you can't open any windows." The city of Denver asked residents to stop watering their lawns, because outages cut the city's ability to pump water by one-third. Elevators were knocked out for about two hours at the 19-story Ambassador East condominiums in south-central Denver. "Isn't this great?" manager Nancy Delgado said after the power came back on and she took off her shoes to climb to the 19th floor to restart the elevators. For Colorado: Outages were confined to eastern Colorado's urban corridor. tens of thousands of people affected when 500-megawatt Pawnee power plant went down. Traffic lights in metropolitan Denver were out, causing rush-hour traffic jams, but outages were spotty. One-third of Colorado Springs was out of power at least an hour, as were parts of Pueblo and Boulder. Phone service to some areas was disrupted.

PARTY EARRINGS
Soho, London. <br/> <br/>M/S of a young model and an older woman in the showroom or storeroom of a jewellery shop. The woman hands the model some earrings and she puts them on. The narrator recounts the history of the earring in Roman times. M/S and C/U of the woman trying on a pair of crazy dangling bauble earrings in front of a mirror. There is a "fashion invasion from Italy" and the saleswoman points out various Italian styles to the model. M/S of the display case - great plastic stands in bright colours display the collection. <br/> <br/>The model takes out the pom-pom earrings and tries another style - the saleswoman approves. This tiny Soho boutique specialises in jewellery from Mediterranean countries. The accent today is on "gaiety and colour". The model wears a pair of large blue plastic earrings. C/U to show detail. She pulls them off (clip-ons). The narrator informs us that the model is Carol Archer. She is exercising the woman's prerogative of "taking her time" - there must be something she likes quips the narrator. Various shots of her modelling sparkly numbers. <br/> <br/>High angle shot of a piece of purple fabric upon which various earrings are placed. Carol daintily picks one up. It is a miniature Swiss clock. Another takes the form of a basket of flowers. C/Us of these in Carol's ears. The narrator compares a rather large earring featuring the figure of a skier to African beauty aids like those of the Masai who wear stone plugs which weigh as much as 3 lbs. The model turns her head to show an earring in the shape of a hand - this might have been inspired by a native custom of wearing teeth as earrings suggests the narrator. The model places her hand over her ear, hiding the earring. <br/>M/S of the model as she takes away her hand to reveal a different earring. C/U to reveal that it is a miniature champagne bucket complete with a bottle of bubbly - "just right for the girl with an effervescent personality." She turns her head to show a traffic light earring "but she knows when to stop" jokes the narrator. L/S of a display of earrings. Carol models some amazing earrings which have diamante flowers which follow the curve of the whole ear lobe. C/U of the earring. Super glamorous. <br/> <br/>M/S of Carol looking into a mirror trying on even more earrings. Narrator ends by saying: "we leave Carol to make up her own mind amid the bewildering baubles." <br/> <br/>Note: the shop featured in this story was located at 57 Old Compton Street and was called (rather aptly) "Going Gay" which was owned by Mr Gay. The woman seen with Carol is probably Hazel Gay - wife or sister of Mr Gay presumably.
1970s NEWS
Pan of San Francisco skyline as viewed from Yerba Buena Island or a boat. Homosexual culture referred to as subculture. San Francisco referred to as “Free City of the West.” Closer view of San Francisco looking down on the main business area perhaps from Nob Hill looking out towards Yerba Buena Island. Street scene, MS of man crossing some garbage on the curb and passing into a coffee shop, Chuckers. This is possibly a coffee shop in the Tenderloin. City is further described as seldom shocked by freedom and exhibitionism. For decades, San Francisco has offered female impersonators as “tourist fare.” CU of man having make-up applied. MS of female impersonator applying make-up herself in front of mirror. Upswept glasses, elaborate hair rising into a tangle of ostrich feathers. The impersonator turn slowly towards the camera then flips head and feathers back toward the Deco mirror. Great gesture of hauteur. Homosexuality brought into politics when a candid for mayor (Russell L/ Wolden) suggested the mayor in office had made San Francisco a homosexual haven. Three young men cross in front of camera against a building that says “Bay Meadows” and to another building across the street that looks like some government building with a high arch. Scene of female impersonator in heels, black swimming suit and metallic boa, dancing in a club. Shot of man walking to his car (a style-setting Karman Ghia) parked on a hilly curb. [NOTE: Thinking of filmmaker Kenneth Anger’s Kustom Kar Kommandos (1965) and the strong connections it makes between a man’s body and his car.] The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, internally designated the Type 14, was a 2+2 marketed from 1955 to 1974 by Volkswagen in coupe and convertible bodystyles — strong mechanicals, evocative styling by the Italian carrozzeria Ghia, and hand-built bodywork by German coach-builder Karmann. It became the most imported car in the U.S. American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague selected it for his list of the world's most beautifully designed products. Text of this part of the film talks of the gay man passing as straight. The lesbian completely passes as female homosexual and no one would know her sexual affiliation. Woman is shown crossing a busy SF city street (unidentifiable). The heterosexual world exists virtually unaware of the gay world. The Gay World has its own nightlife, its own organizations. Scene in a bar where light is dim and back lit figures are seen with translucent bar glasses and cigarette smoke. This is later revealed to be the Jumpin Frog. It has its own styles and its own stores. Shot shows display of clothing. Over shot of a couple of men dancing -- one in plain clothes and the other in Hawaiian garb, the narrator says that gays have their own divertissements, their own gathering places, and entertainments, etc. Shot of men sunning on what appears to be some sort of raised median strip near highway. Another shot of same place shows monumental plinths and sculpture as if this might be a public park of some kind. The community forms newspapers and newsletters. CU shot of three issues of the Citizens News. The community publishes its own guidebooks and tourist books that tell homosexual where to find places that welcome homosexuals. CU shot of such guides. They maintain there own libraries: CU of book titles -- Homosexuality and the Western Christian Tradition (Derrick, Sherwin Bailey), Strangers in Our Midst: Problems of the Homosexual in American Society, Alfred A. Gross, including magazines like Go Guys., fetish publications, etc. Jumpin Frog Bar seen from outside. Interior scenes with narration that such gay bars last only a couple of years because of shut downs by local communities, but early $12,000 a month, and on weekends $1000 a day. CU strong bare arms with beer and wine glasses and other shots that express bar life and dark, hidden spaces. MS shot of butts on bar seats. On the day the Jumpin Frog was shut down there were 34 other gay bars operating in San Francisco. Gay culture has often been called “the Furtive Society.” The scenes and shots inside the Jumpin Frog Bar illustrate this. Very CU of furtive eyes of a man dragging on a cigarette. MS shot of two women talking behind a screen so that we only see their silhouettes and a bouquet of flowers on the table. The discussion is about how the stereotypes of a viewer can misidentify he person they are looking at as homosexual. CU shot of a man talking behind a screen so that we only see his silhouettes and his smoking a cigarette . The discussion is about how a man can lead a double life as straight and gay. Maurice B. Spotswood, Psychiatrist in private practice, as well as with UCSF Medical School, and Ruth M. Maguire, a psychoanalyst in New York City are brought together in a discussion about what “causes” homosexuality. While their discussion -- alternating locations and various CU and MS shots -- is liberal, non-blaming but caught up in Freudian psychology and development where clinical thinking was in 1964. Cu and MS shots of men talking behind screen in silhouette, and an extended conversation of MS and CU shots of two women talking behind screen in silhouette. The topic is how did they know they were homosexual? Street scene probably in the Castro. Identifiable landmarks are: Old Joe’s Place and G & H Grocery (24th and Castro). LS Street scene with VW bus and bug; and others. CU inside unmarked patrol car at 24th and Castro. SF Police have a 8-man detail that investigates sex crimes. Theses crimes are divided into (1) rape and (2) all other that includes lewd phone calls, pornography, and homosexual acts. The driver says that the main trouble spots are places where “they” congregate and places where “they” commit their sex acts in public places -- theaters, parks, etc. Playgrounds and theaters are places they often patrol. Through the windows of the unmarked police car are the following businesses: Red Robin, Emerald Hotel, Fosters, El Cerrito Apartments, Minerva Cafe, and others. Setting shot of Lafayette Square and various LS views. View of the outside of the men’s room where many homosexual acts are committed. This is a major trouble spot for the police. Within twenty minutes, 9 men have entered the men’s room to make homosexual contacts. There are shots of families and children playing and sitting, enjoying the sun. Police truck ordered by the plain clothes officers, and two men are arrested inside the men’s room, handcuffed and taken to the van in front of very curious children who are playing on the sand and swing sets. The van lets off a dramatic cloud of exhaust as it takes off. Golden Gate Park men’s room is the next stop for the plain clothes officers. LS shot of bus on busy park street. LS men’s room. Two men are cuffed together and taken to police vehicle. CU of officer putting cuffs on wrist of the men. Middle-aged salesman and young army officer home on leave. LS of police and felons walking to police car. MS officers and felons next to police car. One officer tells the military man that his wife might not find out about this, but his company commander will. Shots of traffic outside the police car, and CU inside the police car. POV driving down streets from Golden Gate Park. Inter cut shots of men’s cuffed hands which seem to be communicating with one another. CU felons talking with police in car. Arrival at police station (which one?). Shots of interior of police station. Men are booked in. CU a large (cell) key being handed off. Back out in the streets, landmarks include: The Nevada (open 6 am) . Mission Street “girlie” shows -- “Ding Dong Dollies.” More bar scenes: The Anxious Asp, Cadell Place, Doan Room, Cask, Frolic, etc. POV driver of the police car seems to be on Mission Street going away from the Ferry Building. “Mason News Co.”: Sign reads: “8mm Art Film and Supplies, Magazines and Pocket Books, Party Records & Art Picture, Art Slides.” Turk Cocktails, Hotel Hilary, Boston Hotel, Fez, Blue and Gold.
