In the past two years, more than 8,600 women from the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and New Mexico have learned at the seminars how to prevent rape or deal with the trauma if rape occurs. Despite her responsibilites at home, officer Bosch wants to take her program on the road. She says myths about rape still prevail. “We can’t promise women they will never be raped,” she says. “We’re just showing them how to survive. Just more self confidence can prevent you from becoming a victim.” “What you don’t know about rape can hurt you,” Bosch said. “The deadliest myth is that rape is a sexually motivated act. It is not. Another deadly myth is that women are asking for it. “We’ve seen 2-year-olds and 97-year-olds raped. What did they do to ask for it?” Bosch says rape is an aggres sive and hostile act toward women caused by the attacker’s 'd packeli Now you know United Press International ducing the time required to fhe first cars to be produced build a car from 12>/2 hours to fly on an assembly line were one and a half and revolutioniz- t by Henry Ford in 1914, re- ing American industry. committee ty Republi ing nextii lould beck# of discrip id they will aint with it of state an jainst elecw options ai ■publican Pi ir asking 4 i do so. insider ast ation as berties'l) suit on be ; said.

She says women should be aware of three different kinds of rapists — the angry, the sadistic and the more common power seeker. “The power rapist is usually armed,” Bosch said. “He doesn’t use his weapon except for in timidation. His rapes are nor mally always planned. He wants to gain and maintain complete control. If the woman gains con trol, he will use more power and he may kill her.” Bosch says the angry rapist dislikes women, does not use a weapon or plan his attacks. “He wants to show you how no-good you are,” she says. “He will slap and choke and some times sodomize his victim.” Although self-defense is part of Bosch’s seminar, she says fighting back is not always appropriate. She says there are no rules for behavior and she can only pass along what has worked in the past. “Your best weapon is your brain,” she says. “You can’t leave defense to your dog or a gun. You have to be able to overcome the fear and let your brain kick in and start working.” Besides giving practical tips on rape prevention, including home security, her seminars are designed to help families of rape victims. New Happy Hours 4 p.m.-Midnight PLUM • FOOD • DRINKs “A rape is something a woman carries forever,” Bosch says. “It has broken up mar riages because the husband didn’t understand. Men need to attend if their wives or daugh ters have been raped.” Amarillo crime statistics indi cate the program is helping. Rapes reported during the first six months of 1982 were down 29 percent. In addition, Bosch said, “When we do these seminars the burglary rate goes down because we stress so much prevention.” YOUR FOOD AMD DRUG-.
