She said abuse was often playec out in a series of well-defined stages.
First there is the nice period, with no real problems, she said. "Then it turns out 'terrible' will happen — which is usually something small, blown out of mind."
"For example, one time I was
"The last stage is the 'honeycomb stage', where the abuser promises not to do it again. This will repeat until the victim decides to leave."
Shauna said many women stayed in abusive relationships because they thought it would get better, as the abuser cited it said.
Kate Barron, a Lawrence resident and advocate of Women's Transitional Care Services, said there were many reasons women in battering relationships. Advocates valved power of phones and working with victims.
"A lot of times it's its financial dependence, or maybe the children are attached to the father," Barron said. "Often times, however, women in long relationships have become isolated from friends and don't know where to turn."
Shauna said legislators should do more to help victims.
"In Lawrence, there is no mandatory arrest of battering husbands."
Quayle says he's ready for debate
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Republican Dan Quayle says he views this week's vice presidential debate with Texas Sen Lloyd Benton as "a golden opportunity for me to be an active part of his real opponent, Democratic nominee Mike Dalton."
The Indiana senator said this weekend that he's not worried about making any of his celebrated gaffes during the nationally televised debate Wednesday in Omaha, Neb. although "there's always that possibility."
Sounding confident about the confrontation with his Democratic counterpart, Quayle said, "I will be pre-emptive."
The GOP vice presidential nominee said he would target his attacks on Dukakis rather than Benten, the Texas senator whose views Quayle said were more in tune with Republicans than Democrats.
Bentsen, who is in Texas, is spending the next two days making final preparations for the debate, just as Quayle is. Dukulas today embarks on a campaign tour of major industrial states, including Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio. The team also flies to California to greet the Discovery space astronauts when they land at Edwards Air Force Base.
"The opponent for me is Michael Dakikas." Quayle says, "He's the one that is running for president. He's the one who has been running this time for this country. My target and my discussion and my focus that evening will be on the governor from Louisiana."
On Wednesday night, Quayle will field the first question from the panel of journalists. He admitted he was somewhat nervous but said "the butterflies will be gone when I get out there."

Attendance figures for attendance figures were available.
Everyone has thought it was a nice film. There are some cynics, but there will always be those people. No matter what the critics say, if we could get attention for our state and allow our people to be in the movie, then it's a success.'

Although the film has been panned by critics, both theater managers reported hearing favorable comments about it.

"No matter what the critics say, if we could get attention for our state and allow our people to be in the movie, then it's a success."
Nell said most of the people he had heard discuss the movie liked it, particularly the scenes in which they recognized people or places.
"Quite a few people from Valley Fails have come." Nell said, in reference to the town northeast of where part of the movie was filmed.
