change, says author

By JUDY CREIGHTON
Canadian Press

Society, for the most part,
still assumes “we march gaily
two by two into the ark,” not
to mention into stores and
tax offices, says author Betty
Jane Wylie.

But with 1981 census
figures showing that 1.6
million Canadians live alone,
that “couples mentality”
must change.

And singles must come to
terms with the rewards and
risks of living on their own,
adds the author of Success-
fully Single — How to Live
Alone and Like It (Key
Porter Books, $14.95).

“Oh, I know that the
person who suddenly finds
himself alone because of
death or divorce is going to
be on a downer at the begin-
ning,” Wylie, single since her
husband died 13 years ago,
said in an interview.

“But they they bogia to
discover that si can

covery.”

She recalled a conversation
with a woman, recently wid-
owed, who said she found it
ironic that she had to lose her
husband before she found
herself.

MEN FARE WORSE

“Actually, women seem to
fare better than men when
death or divorce occurs,”
Wylie said. “Women have a
social network, a support
system. Men don't seek sup-
port for their emotions and
often drown their troubles in
alcohol or tend to marry
again in a hurry.”

On the other hand, women
usually take a financial beat-
ing — their income goes
down about 40 per cent,
added Wylie, who has also
written a self-help book for
widows, a retirement guide
and a money manual for
women.

She said one of “the real
dangers” in being single is
the ibility of

“The sweetness of solitude
is the bait of a trap. The
magic of your efficiency and
the effectiveness of your
planning make you think you
know better than anyone.

“You not only become set
in your ways, you also
become selfish, too
customed to indulging only
yourself and your desires. So
part of your coping has to
involve staying open.

“If you're going to keep on
making and having friends,
learning and growing with
them and not away from
them, you cannot pull your.
self into your tidy little shell
and isolate yourself.”

NEED OWN TIME

On the other hand, she
said, everyone should take
some time each day for
themselves.

“For some it's a walk in the
morning. Baths and showers,
jogging, swimming, biking,
tennis, all those good things
are better, more effective
methods of releasing tension
than alcohol or tranquilli-
zers.”

Wylie said that giving
yourself little treats is es-
sential for singles.

“Pamper yourself — be-
cause no one else is around to
do it for you. Pamper your
ears with music, your feet
with a pedicure or your body
with a massage.”

Another essential for
singles is planning ahead.

“I don't know a single who
doesn't find weekends dif-
fieult without a plan. Long
weekends are even worse.”

So it's wise to plan an
excursion out of town, a
pienic, an outing with a
friend.

“You have to plan, you
have to phone, you have to
make arrangements, and
even then you can't always
bring it off.

DEBORAH SPUNGEN

Mother of murdered

girl helpi
By GEORGE ESPER

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — When her 20-year-old
daughter was found stabbed to death in a Manhatten hotel
room eight years ago, apparently by her lover, punk rock

star Sid Vicious, Deborah Spungen thought the only way to
end-her pain was to kill herself.

Instead, she transformed her grief into the therapeutic
drive to help other parents of murder victims.

First, she started a Philadelphia chapter of Parents of
Murdered Children to bring them together to share their
tears.

“I needed to be in the group to find out how people
survived. We started in our house with five families,” she
said.

But a former Philadelphia district attorney attending
one of the meetings told her: “It's not enough to sit in this
room and talk with other parents just to share your pain.
You've got to get out there and do something to make this
system different.”

Last January, she opened a victim advocacy office as an
offshoot of Parents of Murdered Children, providing volun.
teers to go into court with families to comfort them, keep
them posted on proceedings and help them with over
problems.

BACK IN SCHOOL

And this fall, at age 49, she is back in school, studying at
Bryn Mawr College for master's degrees in social work and
in social policy law, with plans to help share legislation and
lobby for families of murder victims.

Recently, said Spungen, her pain over Nancy's death
was revived with the release of Sid Nancy.

Sid Vicious, a guitarist with the punk group Sex Pistols,
was charged with the Oct. 12, 1978, murder but died four
months later of a heroin overdose.

Spungen, who wrote a book about life with her
daughter, And I Don't Want To Live This Life, published in
1983, has no plans to see the movie.

“What's extremely upsetting is people are con
gratulating me that I sold my book as a movie. It's not my
movie. We voted as a family not to see the movie .. .”

“I cannot even begin to describe how it hurts . . . Leave
her alone and leave us alone. They're only doing it to
sensationalize.”

Lori Long, a spokesman for Samuel Goldwyn Co., the
film's distributor, said the focus on the movie is the deep
love between Sid and Nancy.

HELPS OTHERS

Over the year, Spungen has salved her pain with the
reward of helping other parents

hall outside Philadelphia Municipal Courtroom 675, seeking

out families of victims to offer assistance at preliminary
hearings.

Spungen opened the victim advocacy office with an
initial city couneil grant of $10,000, a cubicle and telephone in
the district attorney's office, a salaried program director and
about 20 volunteers. Recently the project received an
additional $9,400.

The advocacy office has been involved in more than 150
cases, from going into court with families to helping them fill
‘out crime victims’ compensation forms.

Spungen said her problems with Nancy began long
before her death. She threw violent tantrums and mis-
treated her parents, sister and brother. She once hit her
mother with a hammer.

She was sent to a mental institution at age 11. By 16,
she was a drug addict.

In her book, Spungen writes no one will ever know what
happened the night Nancy died. But, she said, based on a
letter she received from Vicious and the police disclosure
Nancy had bought the knife, “it is my belief that she

engineered her death.”

Nuclear waste disposal
a pressing issue

PORTLAND, ORE. (AP)
— How to dispose of nuclear
waste is one of the decade's
most pressing scientific is
sues, scientists told a gath
ering of regional editorial
writers last weekend.

But the public is not well
equipped to make decisions
concerning nuclear waste,
said Kai N. Lee, a member of
the National Academy of Sci-
ences Board on Radioactive
Waste Management.

“I think we are up against
one of the hardest problems
in journalism and one of the
hardest problems in Amer
ican government, and that is
how to provide to a society
that believes in the Jeffer-
sonian ideal information
enough to understand a high
ly technological problem,”
Lee said. ~

“The ignorance of the gen
eral public is very impres-
sive, it’s very large. And
what the general public
needs is enough information
and understanding to exer-

cise its judgment.”

Lee spoke at a nuclear

Drug
testing at
Hanford

SPOKANE (AP) — The
United States Department of
Energy will initiate periodic
urinalysis tests next year for
employees at the Hanford
nuclear reservation, which is.
the target of a federal in-
vestigation into drug use, of-
ficials said.

Spokesman Tom Bauman
said he was notified that a
nationwide department plan
will be aimed at people
occupying sensitive positions
with the energy department
and its contractors.

Hanford produces pluton-
jum at top-secret plants for
use in nuclear weapons.

Unidentified informants
quoted in an affidavit in the
federal investigation claim:
drug use at Hanford has
caused potentially fatal acci
dents; Hanford security for-
ces were involved in the drug
abuse; employees hid their
drugs in contaminated areas
so they would not be found;
Hanford employees would
not talk about the drug use
because they feared for their
lives; and energy department
officials ignored attempts by
some workers to call atten
tion to the drug problems

Until a few months ago,
the only drug screening at
the federal reservation was
in the form of questionnaires
when employees are investi
gated for security clearance,
according to a newspaper re
port.

waste panel discussion that
also featured Michael J.
Lawrence, the United States
Department of Energy's
manager of the Hanford nu-
clear reservation in south-
eastern Washington; and
David Berick, a nuclear is-
sues lobbyist faggthe Union of
Concerned Scientists.

The nation’s schedule for
selecting a nuclear burial site
in the next five years is not at
all realistic, Berick said, and
the U.S. Department of
Energy has reached the dan-
gerous point of assuming that
no region ever would be will-

ing to accept a nuclear dump.

WRONGHEADED
The agency is using such a
perception — that it will be
hated no matter what it does
as a convenient but
wrongheaded excuse for
dealing in an uncaring way
with target site populations,
Berick said. The dump search
faces failure unless there are
changes in the present pro-
cess, he said.
