Local “stripper-gram” messenger services are crediting a rise in busi ness to publicity from a recent con troversy involving Kingwood High School valedictorian Michael Woos- ley. Woosley, 18, was suspended for the last six days of school, deprived of his honors and barred from com mencement exercises for sending a stripper-gram to his physics teacher. The stripper, dressed as a police officer, was stopped early in her per formance before the class. “We had just been in our physics teacher’s class for two years, and we liked him a lot,” Woosley said. “It was just a joke. I think it was taken wrong, and I think it was wrong to do it.” Representatives of local messen ger services say the publicity from Woosley’s stunt has brought an in crease in business. Other types of ex posure, such as mention in a movie or on television, tend to boost the in dustry as well, they say. About 20 different companies de liver singing and stripping telegrams in the Houston area. Greg Jen, owner of Singing Cavalier Balloons and Tunes, said it is a unique form of entertainment. “(It) is a different kind of enter tainment business, a fast-food enter tainment business,” he said. Female strippers for Singing Cav alier are less risque than those for some competitors, he said, only bar ing as much as corsets, garters and stockings. Messengers for Captain Telegram, the service which Woos ley contracted, are more bold and may strip down to bikinis or pasties and G-strings. Although the “stripper-gram” in dustry has been in Houston since about 1980, according to Jen, com panies must be careful not to exceed certain taste standards which could damage all types of messenger serv ices. “It all started out very modestly with tuxedoed and costumed per formers, and then belly dancers,” he said. “But when you get into the strippers you run the chance of wrecking the whole industry.” Some businesses will not allow singing telegrams to he delivered on their premises because of past inci dents, such as messengers baring al most all in a family restaurant, Jeu said.

T he recommendations for c heck ups at least every live years mark a broader approach to the silent dis eases of heart attacks and strokes, saitl Dr. J. Alan Herd, a member of die committee that drew up the rec ommendations. He said the AHA is urging doc tors to tell patients about their test results and suggest appropriate diet or lifestyle changes. “What this is doing is putting the responsibility on the individual pa tient and his physician,” association spokesman Howard Lewis said. ”1 io- pefully, it will get the physician who’s actually seeing the patient more tuned in to practicing preven tion at the same time.” Herd admitted the recommenda tions may bother some doctors, partly because of the five-year time period rather than the traditional one-year time frame. “This is not really pitched toward changing physician practices." he said. “There’s no question that we’re taking a position that (yearly t heck- ups) may be more than is appropri ate.” Herd said the AHA took a cost-ef ficiency point of view on the length of time between checkups, judging that for most healthy adults a five- year checkup is the most efficient schedule.

Everything else we had for sale has already been sold. We’ve sold all our babv lions.” $350 and the pythons for as $ 150. The park, on Texas Highway 71, near Bastrop, 23 miles east of Aus tin, has all the animals it needs, so it sells most of the baby animals that are born each year, said Wenk, owner of the park. According to an advertisement in state newspapers, the park, which breeds and sells wild animals, “will take anything of value” in payment for them. “This is a roadside zoo, and we’ve just got all the big animals we can han dle. We’ve been selling our babies for the past couple of months. ” — Ted Wenk, owner of Wild World Animal Park “This is a roadside zoo, and we’ve just got all the big animals we can handle right now,” Wenk said. “We’ve been selling our babies for the past couple of months.” “We’ve got four tigers, all 3 weeks old; three leopards, 4 weeks old; four monkeys, who range in age from 8 months to 10 years; two fe male hybrid wolves, 6 weeks old; and Nothing on the lot sells for more than $2,000. “You can buy a tiger for $2,000 or less,” Wenk said. “You can buy a leopard for $1,800 or less. Lions are the cheapest because they breed like housecats. It seems like there’s a glut on lions now. I’ve sold lions for as cheap as $300, and I think the most I’ve ever gotten is about $ 1,200.” Wolf cubs go for $500, monkeys for $500, the talking parrots for “A lot of our good ciffi wait,” Wenk said. “We ham boon that’s pregnant nowani 1 got three people who wantiP I le tries to place the anii sells with other trainers at breeders, Wenk said.
