FROMTHE EDITOR At Mayor Ed Austin’s Environmental Awareness Awards Luncheon (and that was the official title, by the way), the mayor gave the key to the city to Captain Planet — Ted Turner’s environment protecting cartoon character. Before he did that, Austin talked about “balancing the needs of our environmental systems" against the “pres sures of continued growth." His point was that environmental sensitivity and “dynam ic economic growth” are not necessarily mutually exclusive. I always get nervous when people say things like that. The image of a balance between economics and ecology implies that there is a painless solution whenever profits and environmental protection conflict, it just ain’t so. Molly Ivins quotes a Texas lawmaker, Billy Williamson, who fought to preserve an asbestos plant in his district. Williamson said, “I think we are all willing to have a little bit of crud in our lungs and a full stomach rather than a whole lot of clean air and nothing to eat.” The plant's been closed for more than 20 years now. Williamson’s been dead for more than 10. Lung cancer. Too often, those are the kinds of environmental balancing acts people perform. Economic growth and environmental protection are not necessarily mutually exclusive but they have been treated that way far too often. That has more to do with perception and presentation than reality. On one side are people who argue that every job lost when any sludge producing, smoke belching widget factoiy closes is lost forever and that any call for environmental sensitivity comes from some renagade communist cell bent on the destruction of capitalism. On the other side are people who believe that every sludge producing, smoke belching widget factory in the country could be closed tomorrow with little or no economic or human effect — or at least none that should concern us. Somewhere between those polar extremes may lie a rational compromise. Or maybe not. After the 1890 census, the American frontier was declared extinct. Reflecting on the importance of that event, historian Frederick Jackson Turner observed, “The peculiarity of American institutions is the fact that they have been compelled to adapt themselves to the changes of an expanding people — to the changes involved in crossing a contintent, in winning a wilderness and in developing at each area of this progress, out of the primitive economic and political conditions of the frontier, the complexity of city life." The continent has been crossed, the wilderness has been won and city life has gotten much too complex for many of us. b Like the prodigal son, we have gone into a far countiy and wasted our substance with riotous living. Now there is no more far country and our substance is greatly diminished.

First, he has totally ignored the historical accounts of Columbus and the Mayflower Pilgrims — whose purpose was to lay a good foundation for propagating and advancing the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in remote parts of the world. Read the Mayflower Compact! Second, his affirmation of the myth of the wall of separation between church and state shows that he, too, is biased and slants his arguments with bad history. Third, I am concerned that his lack of knowledge of the Christian faith is danger ously misinforming Folio Weekly’s readers To understand the God of the Christian faith, one has to examine the main tenant

persecution,
Editor’s note: o The Mayflower Compact, which endorses (he divjne rjght of kings, is primarily concemed wit]n establishing a form of governsjnce by ]andjng somewhere they weren’t supposed to, the Pilgrims negated their charter. The Compact does say that the folks who signed it came to the New World “for the glorie of God and advance ments of the Christian faith.” It also says they came for the “honour of our king and countrie.” It should be noted, too, that many Europeans came to the New World between and after Columbus and the Pilgrims. Those 50 or so people seem a small sample on which to base a judgment about the United States. • The separation . . . of church and state is part of the intention of the founders - if you count Thomas Jefferson, James Madison or Benjamin Franklin among the founders. • The United States became “one nation under God” not at the countiy J ’s- founding but in 1954 when those words were adder’ % to the Pledge of Allegiance by an act dOgf Congress. 0 Finally, by defining religion as his version of Christianity', Broach seems to have made Thornton’s point for him.

, ‘u 8 speclal homosexual rights laws would be repealed. Additionally, the mendment would prevent future ‘gay •fchts laws from being adopted by state, county or city officials.” i? ,Th(?„American Family Association sent olio W eekly a newsletter, an amendment petition form, pledge envelopes and an announcement about a Thursday, April 29. meeting of The Christian Coalition where advice on gathering petition signatures would be given. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend. Instead, we thought we would ask Dr. Max Karrer, petition coordi nator for the Duval County chapter of the Christian Coalition, what happened at the meeting. When called, Karrer said, “You weren t invited. You aren’t welcome at any of our functions — not after the series of articles you’ve written.” We were just curious about what we missed. “Watch Channel 17,” he replied. That wouldn't really help. Although a news team from Channel 17 was there, they were not allowed into the meeting. They were asked to stay in the lobby. One person who was at the meeting told Folio Weekly about a few of the highlights of the night’s festivities. The first being, if you looked gay (What does that mean?), according to our source, you were asked why you were there and then asked to leave by a man identifying himself as Detective Jones. Four men were escorted out. Two were allowed to return. Apparently, Detective Jones thought none of the women in the room looked like homosexuals. As to the amendment petition form, it was suggested that petition-passers pass it down the aisle in church because nobody reads what they sign. It was also suggested that petition-passers tell the congregation that the minister won’t stop preaching until they sign.
Lofe m japan Jacksonville is receiving some favorable international exposure in, of all places, Japan. Jacksonville resident Deborah Hoag is currently in Fukuoka, Japan, writing for the newspaper Asahi Shimbun. Part of Hoag’s April 21 column read, “In Jacksonville, Florida (my hometown), our Mayor declares April as Earth Month, and countless activities fill the days. The high light is an Ecology Fair in which 200 groups and organizations participate to showcase their resources and educate the 10-20,000 citizens that attend.” About Japan’s environmental move ment, she writes, “I realize Japan engages generously in ‘checkbook environmental ism,' throwing a lot of yen especially toward developing nations. But the respon sibility doesn’t rest fully on the govern ment’s shoulders, individuals can make a difference. So around April 22, try to do something nice for the earth: buy your own hashi (chopsticks), use one less plastic bag at the store, plant a tree." Except for the part about the chopsticks, the advice should be heeded by First Coast residents, too, and year round. In other Japan related news: In the latest edition of the Japanese travel guidebook Chikyu no Arukikata (Globetrotter, Guide to Small Cities') there is a ten-page spread on Jacksonville, featuring area attractions such as The Landing, the Cummer Gallery, the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, Kingsley Plantation and the beaches. The Florida Division of Tourism estimates that in 1992, roughly 100,000 Japanese tourists visited Florida.

Stars & Stripes over Fort Clinch, Amelia Island, is a musi cal extrava ganza salut ing the U.S. Armed Forces held Saturday, May 15, at 8 p.m. The eve ning’s pro gram kicks off with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra performing Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man. Next comes the Sousa march Victory at Sea, and a grand and explosive perfor mance of Tchaikovsky’s (my favorite American composer) 1812 Overture. Since no Overture is truly complete without can nons, the Fort Clinch Cannon Brigade will be firing with the orchestra from the ram parts. (It’s not easy to fire a cannon and watch the conductor at the same time.) Stars and Stripes Forever and accompany ing fireworks bring the evening to a climac tic close.

Bog Mac Attack Part fill Don’t look now. It’s back. The court case involving the proposed building of a McDonalds Restaurant in Sawgrass Village, Ponte Vedra Beach is once again set to appear before the St. Johns County Commission. After being thrown out by the Florida Supreme Court because of a legal technicality, the case will again come down to a vote by Commission members. Last time, the Commission voted against allow ing the McDonalds to be built, which result ed in the lawsuit filed by ABG Real Estate Development Company. This time, the Commissioners may have no choice but to vote in favor of it. The same court rulings that hindered oppo nents to the development of Cabbage Swamp will hinder those Ponte Vedrans who don’t want a fast food restaurant in their affluent community. The Snyder and Jennings rulings, which say a decision must be based on fact, not popular community opinion, and discour ages communication between elected offi cials and their constituents, will again be in the favor of the developer. If Ponte Vedra were in Duval County, these two rulings would not matter, but since St. Johns County is in the state’s 5th Court District, they do. “I think [county] Staff will go out and look at the site. If it stands up to the test of the comprehensive plan, we’ll have no choice but to approve,” says Commissioner Linda Balsavage. Balsavage voted against the restaurant last time, citing traffic and safety reasons. A public hearing on the issue will be held June 22, 3 p.m.

COMMENTARY
Cops and Guns Circling the wagons around an exclusive fraternity. By Tim Thornton
he Jacksonville Sheriff's Office seems very open and forthcom ing. But what comes forth is a lit tle unsettling. it wouldn’t be accurate to sayj the officers have chips on their shoulders, but some of thpm them dr. do have a rortoir, certain air about them. It’s cop thing. You wouldn't understand. “Why did the public not understand about the Larry Branch shooting?” Instructor Alex Arnett asked a room full of officers “Because he was a police officer," came the answer. Officers work under tremendous pressure. And they seem convinced that few people understand what they do — and fewer appreciate it. Arnett says the public “is ignorant about what’s going on." When something goes wrong, when an officer makes a mistake, Arnett warns his stu dents, people filing law suits don’t stop with cities and police depart ments.’ “Not only are they going after the deep pockets,”' he says. “They’re going after those tiny little pockets of yours, too.” Some officers feel like they're on a treadmill. They arrest people, those people get convicted but get out of jail after ridicu lously short stays. “One guy came back (from state prison) on the same bus we sent him down on,” an officer says. They don't seem to have a particularly high regard for the media, either. Arnett tells the room full of officers there is no integrity in television and no integrity at the Florida Times-Union - and they agree. He’ll wait to see about Folio Weekly, he says. Out at the firing range, officers are reminded how important practice and technique are. “Out here you lose a few points" if you don’t get it right, Arnett says. “Out there you may lose your life.” Police officers face the possibility of being shot - not a job hazard most Americans face on a daily basis. Of course, most Americans don’t go to work with a pistol on their hip and a shotgun in their trunk every day, either. And, it must be said, police officers are doing a’lot of shooting themselves. Last year 48 JSO officers were involved in 34 shootings. They shot 18 people. They killed 11 In 1991. the JSO had 39 shoot ings In 1990, there were 55. Last year,' five officers were shot at. None of them were wounded When he was asked about some shoot-
these eye witnesses who haven’t seen all they’re purported to have seen.” He also made it clear — after being asked about other shootings — that he thought none of the three men killed by officers in those particular shootings were candidates for sainthood. And, after store owner Bernard Heyman was shot by an officer, McMillan made a p’oint of telling the press that Heyman “had sort of a histo ry of using his firearm." (Since McMillan brought up witnesses, it might be pertinent to mention that one of the witnesses who corroborated the police version of the Heyman shooting was a policeman’s daughter.) Police officers, of course, are people, too. People with stressful jobs. Armed peo ple with stressful jobs. The pistol JSO offi cers cany has a 17-shot magazine. That’s a lot better than the five-shot revolvers they used to carry, Arnett says, because by the time you calm down and fig ure out what’s going on, five shots are gone. Put an officer on a course of fire — say, one that requires 15 shots in 15 seconds — and he might do well, Arnett says. Put the same officer on the same course and add pressure — a stop watch and a whistle, even — and he may find himself halfway through the course with his gun and his back-up clip empty. It’s the adrenaline rush, Arnett says. Adrenalin rush can restrict a person’s hear ing and vision and destroy his fine motor skills. It's the fight or flight syndrome. In that condition a person can fight well or run well — but not much else. That is the condition Arnett expects offi cers to be in as they decide whether to shoot or not. One of the officers in Arnett’s class the day 1 was there told how he and another officer had been alerted to a possible bur glary on a recent night. At the house, they found a broken window with a chair by it and decided to enter — through the win dow — to investigate. Once inside, they found a room that looked like it had been ransacked. Guns drawn, the officers went from room to room, looking for an intruder. Eventually they confronted a man — in his underwear, in bed. "The sergeant thought maybe he was a burglar trying to be cute. You know?" the officer said. The man was reaching for a gun. He stopped when officers told him to stop. The man, the officers discovered, owned the house. There was no intruder. “It turned out,” the officer said, “he just had a messy house." If he'd picked up his gun, that might have been a capital crime.Q

II TALK Real Guts
MOMS EAT FREE!
A few words about the toughest guy in this area code.
i
(f " By Greg Larson
et’s talk about the toughest kid in Jacksonville. The one with the most ■ guts. I——) He’s Josh Adeeb. Here’s why he’s the gutsiest kid in this area code: Two springs ago Josh caught a pass dur ing a Bolles School practice session and turned upfield. Crunch! The cornerback and the safety con verged to make the tackle and one of those freaky things happened. Josh had been hit at just the wrong angle at just the wrong time. The result was a com pressed fracture of the C-7 vertebrae. Josh was complet ing his ninth grade year at Bolles where he was destined to become one of the best all-around Bolles athletes ever. He was a starting wide receivz-i er on the state cham' C pionship football team. He was a heavy contributor on the Bolles basketball team that came within a game of the state tournament. He made the varsity baseball team as an outfielder. “What a wonderful athlete, tremendous ly gifted," said Bolles football coach Corky Rogers. “We’re talking 4.5 speed or better from a ninth grader, a tremendous vertical leap and hands that caught everything all over the field. He was going to be a bigtime college football prospect. He already was, as a ninth-grader.” But some heavy duty brakes were applied that day on the Bolles practice field. Doctors, some of the best in the world, debated Josh’s fate. “First, they talked about surgety to fuse the vertebrae,” said Josh’s father Joe Adeeb. “That would have ruled out sports altogether. Then some of the doctors in the Mayo Clinic network started discussing the situation. X-rays were faxed all around the country. They decided with the healing powers of youth and prayer that surgery could be avoided." Collision sports, though, would be out. There would be no third generation college / football player in the Adeeb family. Josh’s (Jrgrandfather, known as Jay, played at Virginia Military and his father, Joe, played at Vanderbilt. Josh wore one of those halos for three months. The apparatus was screwed into his head and shoulders to absolutely pre vent any movement in the head and neck. It was devastating to see this wonderful kid and athlete having to wear this device. The times I saw Josh in the brace 1 had all I could do to keep from choking up. I issued quick hellos and words of encouragement
and slipped away.
Miraculously, the vertebrae and neck healed. There would be no more football but less than a year from that football colli sion, Josh was cleared to play baseball for Bolles. He started in right field as a sopho more. Today, he plays center field and has developed into a major college and profes sional prospect. Then, one day at University Christian, Josh dived into second base head-first on a steal attempt. He stayed on the ground a long time and came up holding his neck. "Of course, we thought the worst,” said his mother, Brenda. But it was his face that he was hold ing together.” Literally, almost. No one knows what did it — maybe the cor ner of the base, maybe something in the ground — but there was blood all over the place and a 60-stitch cut on Josh’s face. Surgeons did a won derful job stitching the wound and one can barely find evidence of the accident. Here’s a kid who practically broke his neck two years ago and now he’s sliding head-first into second base. “It’s the first time 1 ever slid like that," Josh said. “1 don’t have to tell you it will be the last. I don’t think you get there any quicker going head-first anyway. It was something that just happened.” Josh said he never totally puts the foot ball accident out of his mind on the base ball field but it doesn’t dictate the way he plays, either. “I’m careful, I guess," he explained. “But maybe I'm the only one who knows I'm careful.” Considering the amount of stolen bases and diving catches he has made this sea son, he has kept a pretty good secret. Professional baseball scouts love speed and arm strength. They reason that if a player can get down to first base at a rapid rate at Bolles, he can do it in Yankee Stadium. Ditto for throwing ability. Hitting is subjective. You won't always have a sopho more with glasses as the opposing pitcher or somebody’s dad keeping score. The scouts I have spoken with insist Josh Adeeb will be drafted in 1994. They also say he is a cinch to play major college baseball. Music, sweet music to my ears.
Here’s a Iked who prad&aly broke his neck two years ago and now he’s sliding head°frst into second base.

A story about cops, guns and people who get killed
By Tim Thornton
t was nearly quitting time when Patrolman Jim McMillan was dispatched to a distur bance on Florida Avenue. It turned out to be a traffic accident. A car had run off the street and demolished someone’s front porch. As McMillan radioed for a traffic officer, he saw a man with a gun and a wild-eyed look standing in the doorway of the house. The gun was pointed at McMillan. McMillan drew his service revolver and ordered the man to drop the gun. He didn’t. McMillan ordered him to drop the gun a second time. He still didn't. For a long, tense moment there they stood — McMillan behind his patrol car, the man in the doorway of his home, each with a gun trained on the other. McMillan says he made up his mind to fire and “in another fraction of a second I would have shot him” when the man threw down his weapon and ran inside the house. It turns out the man McMillan almost shot had heard the crash of the accident, saw that his front porch was gone and

WhOneoCf thetools the training <“n‘e^US“ to introduce students to the dilemma of when to shoot is a large interactive screen that plays out a series of scenarios. With a gun in his hand - one rigged to interact with the video - each student must decide when to shoot, who to shoot, and how to shoot without unnecessarily endangering bystanders and then act on that decision. Instructor Rick Parker says he's seen stu dents freeze up, freak out, throw down the gun and run away screaming. “It’ll pucker you,” Parker says. Training doesn’t stop once an officer joins the force. Eveiy six months, officers must prove their proficiency with their ser vice sidearm — a 9mm semiautomatic pis tol. Every year they must do the same with their department-issued shotgun and what ever personal weapons they might use for law enforcement purposes. There’s also an annual reintroduction to the rules of using deadly force. During their training, would be officers are presented with situations based on real cases and asked whether they could legal ly shoot in that situation, whether they should shoot in that situation and whether they would shoot. Active officers go through similar exercises in their annual requalification.

"Everybody should get the ‘could shoot'," Mittleman says because that's governed by state law and department policy. The answers to the “should shoot” Question, he says, "depends somewha? on
vour moral values.” The "would shoot-answers could be different for each officer, he says. In a recent retraining class, more than 30 officers were presented with two situa tions Ten of them said they could shoot in the first instance. Fifteen said they could in the second. Clearly, not everyone got the “could shoot” question that day. In their requalification exercise, offi cers fire their service weapons at targets as far away as 15 yards and as close as three feet. nphe distances and the amount of time A allowed to fire are based on depart ment records of the past two years’ shoot ings In the average gun battle, according to Alex Arnett, the department’s firing range master, the shooting is done at nine feet. It lasts 2.5 seconds. “Normally these things happen so rapidly that they almost have to be instinctive,” Mittleman says. In those few seconds, Arnett says, the fight or flight mechanism kicks in. That, he tells officers, destroys fine motor skills, restricts hearing and vision and causes a loss of a sense of time. The byproducts of that, he says, include inaccurate reports. “We had that happen to us with the Larry Branch shooting,” Arnett says. Branch is the officer who shot Testa’s brother. In the past, Arnett says, the officer involved in the shooting, other officers at the scene at the time, the first officer on the scene after the shooting and homicide detectives all wrote reports about each deadly shooting. Now, Arnett says, homi cide will write all the reports. “That way we don’t get conflicting reports that we have to explain later.” He encourages his students to make notes as soon as possible after they are involved in a shooting. “Somebody’s going to say, ‘Why didn’t you do this?’” he tells them. “Be prepared by knowing what you knew that night.” Several reports and newspaper stories later, he cautioned, it will be difficult to know what y’ou knew and when you knew it. Arnett and his students also discuss ammunition, “nice wound ballistics” and the dangers of “over penetration” — that’s when a bullet passes through a target, pos sibly striking another, unintended, target such as a child walking by a gun battle. To avoid that, Jacksonville's police use hollow point ammunition. Hollow points expand on impact, at once cutting down the chance that they will pass through the intended target and insuring increased damage to the target that is hit. “We want a decent hole," Arnett says, because a bullet is nothing more than a hole punch.” The Sheriff s Office is considering a new type of ammunition that combines some characteristics of hollow points with HH.qet°It1hOne of military style full metal jacketed bullets and adds a nasty- twist.

Deadly Force Mabes brother, says. “We have a lifetime to fight this thing.” The most recent controversial police shooting took the life of Bernard Heyman, a downtown store owner who had responded to an alarm at his store. Two police officers were dispatched to the call. Two other officers were dispatched to a . disturbance a block or so away. When Officer Mike Forster — who had been dis- patched to the disturbance, not Heyman’s store — saw a man with a gun (Heyman), he stopped. Crouched behind a traffic con trol box, Forster called out for Heyman to drop his gun. Heyman turned in what Forster perceived to be a threatening man ner. Forster fired twice, as he was trained to do. The first shot hit Heyman in the leg. The second shot hit him in the head as he fell. “Has Forster made a judgmental error?” Arnett asked. “Not as 1 see it." The shooting, Arnett says, was the result of “a set of unfortunate circumstances." “Heyman set himself up. ... Unfortunately, he paid the ultimate price for the error of judgment," Arnett says. “When you're at war,” he says, “friendly fire does happen.” A rnett was asked to put himself in ZTLHeyman’s shoes that night - outside his store, expecting to find a burglar. If he heard someone tell him to put his gun down, would he turn to see who was mak ing the request before he complied?

"Maybe so,” he says. "But if I did I would be prepared to use deadly force" knowing that whoever called out would be prepared to do the same thing. When there is a shooting in which someone gets hit, the case is investigated by the State Attorney’s office and, perhaps, by a grand juiy. Every shooting — even accidental discharges that do no damage — is examined by the Sheriff’s Office’s firearms review board. That’s too much for some officers — at least for one officer who is about a year away from retirement. “You have to go before a judge. You have to go before a grand jury. Then you have to go before your own department. That’s three chances to strike out.” He doesn’t under stand why an officer should have to go through "all that bullshit.” The board — two captains and two lieutenants — is chaired by the deputy director of services. Sergeant Sonny Connell compiles the investigative reports for the board. "All the information is in these reports,” Connell says. “I’ve never known them to call a witness." The board can find that a shooting was in accordance with state law and depart mental policy and recommend no action; recommend additional training for the offi cer or recommend disciplinary action. The sheriff gets the final say. In his year and a half with the board, Connell says, ‘Tve seen quite a few further trainings but I haven’t seen any disciplinary

The last bad shooting, according to same incident. According to Connell, two officers were working at a bar. “One of Brown, was on New Year's Eve, 1989.

Wright, Clemons and some other peo one failed to notify headquarters within the proper time." The disciplinary action was ple were tiehind Wright’s father's home on Barnett Street.

Phillips says. “I don’t believe Mr. Wright intentionally pointed the gun at the officers." Phillips says. However, a grand juiy — in a decision handed up March 3, 1993, more than three years after the shooting — found that there was not enough evidence to bring a criminal case against the officers. “They didn’t rule it was justifiable." Phillips says. The grand jury ruled there was not enough evidence to prosecute. "That's a lawyer’s way of saying we're not sure." But Wright's death was not the "bad shoot ing" Brown referred to.

Introducing The New Amiga 1200 & 4000. Power. Performance. And Price.
Every six months, Jacksonville's police officers get a refresher course in how to shoot and when to shoot
Brown’s original report, Clemons had picked up a shotgun and ignored warnings to put the weapon down until after the shots were fired. In fact, according to Phillips, “When Bruce saw this big crowd of people and
«We cSo not t© KiEio
We
i®©iTi®ve tSue
threats’ Officer Alex Arnett
heard those shots (fired at Wright) he pan icked and started shooting." Brown was charged with filing a false report, perjury and aggravated assault — the same charge he had filed against Clemons. “The general public is ignorant about what’s going on," Arnett says. "They think you’re capable of much more than you are.” People, he says, have seen “too much TV, too many movies" that use spe cial effects to “slow down the bad guy and speed up the good guy.” McMillan uses a similar analogy. “This is the real world," he says. “This isn’t the movies. Those are real bullets coming out of the gun.” “We do not shoot to kill,” Arnett says. “We shoot to remove the threat. Why do we shoot so many times? Because it’s nec essary. We’re not happy about it. We don’t put another notch on our guns ... even though we’ve done it right and we had the right to do it." “If 1 shoot you," Arnett explains during a break in his class, "I’m probably going to kill you. If you shoot me, you’re probably going to kill me. 1 would rather it be you than me.”
Now you can have it all and pay less with die new Amiga® 1200 & 4000- tlic compctivcly priced powerful computer.

THE ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN. **★ Director Stephen Sommers sticks fairly close to Twain’s story, except at the end. Then it’s just as well, since Twain himself had trouble at that point. On the plus side, the movie features earnest performance by Elijah Wood and Courtney Vance though both smack a bit too much of nobility and sincerity for me. However, Ron Perlman (TV’s Beauty and the Beast) is wonderfully virulent as Huck’s drunken Pap. This version of Huckleberry Finn is an honest effort at least. It remains true to the spirit of Twain’s book, though just a husk of the flesh-and-blood Huck. Rated PG.

And he finds a bag full of weapons. Please don't ask him to hurry up on the pay phone Robert Duvall plays he coo who must somehow find Douglas and try to Stop him before he shoots up all of Los Angeles. Barbara Hershey also stars. Rated R. A FAR OFF PLACE. Two teenagers are forced to flee into the primitive African desert after their home is attacked by poachers. They set off in search of leg. endary big game hunter, and head of an anti-poaching squad Colonel Mopani Theron. With help from a native bushman named Xhabbo, they set out across the Kalahari desert. Maximillian Schell, Reese Witherspoon and Ethan Randall star. Rated PG. A FEW GOOD MEN. **** Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore all give dynamite perfor mances in this courtroom drama about two Marines accused of murdering a fellow soldier. Tom Cruise is the typically heroic defense lawyer, Moore is his typical ly staunch ally, and Nicholson is the villain, anything but typical Rob Reiner directs and, like the screenplay by Aaron Sorkm, pulls all the expected strings to make sure we don’t miss the obvious. Meaning to explore complex moral dilemmas, the movie offers no real sur prises, only wonderful performances. A solid hit, but no home run. Rated R. FIRE IN THE SKY. Based on a true story, James Garner stars as an Arizona cop who must find out what really happened to a group of loggers one night, and where a member of their crew disappeared. Peter Berg, Robert Patrick and Greg Hayes star. Rated PG-13. FOREVER YOUNG Mel Gibson stars as a test pilot who was frozen in a forgotten experiment which began 50 years ago. He thaws out to find not only a new world but that the woman he loved, who he thought was dead, is still alive. Rated PG. GROUNDHOG DAY. *** Bill Murray plays an ego centric TV weatherman who is forced to relive Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pa., over and over and over again until he gets it right. Andie MacDowell is his love interest while Harold Ramis co-writes and directs. Due to a clever script and Murray’s loony but undeniable charm, the movie survives its repetitive plot Groundhog Day is a pleasant and charming fantasy, a nice tribute of sorts to a very minor holiday. Rated PG. HOMEWARD BOUND. Three domesticated pets, two dogs and a cat, are separated from their human family and embark on an extraordinary journey through untamed wilderness to find their way home. Rated G. INDECENT PROPOSAL ** Supremely stupid tripe from director Adrian Lyne (Flashdance and Fatal Attraction) about a happily married yuppie couple (Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson) who put their love on the line when Robert Redford (as another Pretty Woman version of Donald Trump) offers her$1 million if she will spend one night with nim. Dumb dialogue vies with improbable plotting as the movie careens down the brain drain. Demi Moore looks radiant and weeps con vincingly, poor Woody Harrelson is woefully miscast but tries gamey, and Robert Redford steals the show (pitiful as it is). Rated R INDIAN SUMMER. See review by Pat McLeod on page 25. Rated PG-13. JACK THE BEAR. Danny Devito has had a busy year on film. He returns to the big screen in the drama the Bear, in which he plays John Leary, a single latner who discovers raising kids alone is not an easy |»Miko Hughes, Robert J.

‘Pwwl to “Se Top 25 In N.E. Florida Jacksonville Today Sept. '92
Raiding the kitchen at Camp Tamakwa.
£5 few weeks ago, Jacksonville moviel\\ goers were treated to the British version of The Big Chill with Peter’s BBtApriends. Now it’s time for the Disney folks (under their more adult Touchstone banner) to trot out the triedf and-true formula for old friends reuniting and finding themselves with much laugh ter and some tears, all to the accompani ment of familiar tunes. Indian Summer is basically The Big Chill Goes to Summer Camp. Alan Arkin plays kindly Uncle Lou, owner and head counselor of Camp Tamakwa since forev er. At the end of what he thinks will be the Camp’s last season, the aging Boy Scout calls together a group of former Tamakwans who were part of the “Golden Age,” the early ’70s. For one delirious week, the grown-up kids get a chance to relive the carefree summers of their youth before settling back into the humdrum rou tine of adult life. With the possible exception of Matt Craven (who plays a jerk anyway), the ensemble cast is uniformly appealing. Diane Lane (A Little Romance and Chaplin) plays the JoBeth Williams char acter from The Big Chill, the one who's suffering from heartbreak. Her husband died in a tragic accident a year ago, and she’s trying to cope. Eager to help her is Bill Paxton (One False Move) who takes renegade William Hurt’s role from the Chill. He’s the loner, the wild man, the for mer druggie. Playing Kevin Kline and Glenn Close ( vare Vincent Spano (Baby, It’s You) and • Julie Warner (Doc Hollywood). They are happily married, it turns out, though he at least seems to have some doubts. Elizabeth Perkins is the Chill s Mary Kay Place character (with shades of JoBeth Williams). She’s single, funny, and getting a bit desperate about love and mar riage. She also has eyes and more for nei best friend’s husband. . „c Rounding out The Big Chill stereotyp are Kevin Pollak as the Jeff Goldblum goofball and Matt Craven as the tom Berenger macho man. Kimberly William .
who made her debut last year as Steve Martin’s daughter in Father of the Bride, does a good job in Meg Tilley’s role as the young outsider of the group whose initial duty is to service Matt Craven’s ego and libido. Though the characters and relation ships in Indian Summer are fairly pre dictable and trite, the performers manage to breathe life and humor into the cliches. Despite the wooden and sometimes obtuse script, the young cast is a joy to watch, particularly Elizabeth Perkins (About Last Night and The Doctor) and Kevin Pollak (Tom Cruise’s buddy in A Few Good Men). Alan Arkin is, pre dictably, as wonderful as ever. And in what amounts to an extended slapstick cameo, Sam Raimi (director of the Evil Dead trilogy and Darkman) is surprisingly hilarious as Alan Arkin’s dimwitted assis-

and installed by guest artist, Peter ■ Rumpel, area architect and teacher, is a conceptual venture unlike any other area show. To participate, the viewer must loosen his or her imagination, sharp en concentration and respond to surpris ing or unexpected associations in addition to those planned by the artists — especially in the two-part and three-dimensional piece accompanied by a twrxiimensional companion and/or extension stipulated by Rumpel. Casual observation as of an elaborate doll house, minutely detailed miniature building, fort or J;' castle just isn’t enough. • Protective dwellings from pre-historic caves to skyscrapers, mud thatched huts to Wright’s /"'■■cantilevered resiy dence “Falling "It's an Armabago, No, Waters,” from ice age hunters’ “Lascaux” cave, to the great mosques, Temple of Solomon and Notre Dame, humankind has sought protection, inspiration and reju venation in such shelters for millennia. Now displayed at the Jacksonville Coalition for the Visual Arts’ Gallery 88 (at Sawgrass) through June 4 are 34 exhibits by 25 Florida artists; also displayed are a dozen sculptures, mixed media works and acrylic paintings by guest artist Peter Rumpel. Among the most fanciful, “It’s an Armabago, No, No...A Winadillo,” by Kathleen McKenzie, the exhibition chair man, is a mixed media funky desert beach tableau featuring a camper shaped as a 4wheel armadillo, with a Navajo-styled canopy, pop art cacti and requisite steer skull (miniaturized). More realistic are five functionally planned architectural foam core models by Florida A&M students of Professor Andrew Chin. Predominantly white and ivory, with only occasional accents of natural wood, details of the five architectural proposals for “A Weekend Shelter/Retreat" convey a bleached bleak ness. Celebrating nature’s protection of , new life, Robert Burns’ “Original Shelter ; "-depicts in a two-dimensional color drawmg in cross section the human mothers womb protecting the fetus; in three dimen sions, this artist created a small plain tem ple, roofed and open sided, where a blue egg is gently spotlit on the altar of regener ation. In the sparse elegance of the International Style, Chiche Scaglia Davis (ably assisted by Jack McLaughlin) creates through interlocking vertical blades o transparent lucite, dramatically lit from below, her "Shelter of the Spirit." Of it, sne observed: “My work attempts to emulate
£
with the transparent material utilized the ambiguity in the differentialization of the borders between contained spaces and eternal spaces, the ambiguity of the bor ders between one’s spirit, other spirits and the universe. We are brothers and sisters, our thoughts and feelings once expressed, belong to others and, at the same time, to ourselves. We are all one." More cautionary are certain examples that convey environmental, ecological and even existential concerns about the

no... winadillo." future of the natural world and humankind, warnings that speak of and from our times while anticipating the approaching fin de siecle, more potently the end of this present millennium. Sculptor David Royal Olson’s steel and tar paper, “Post Industrial Teepee” is frighten ingly inspired by mammoth chimneys, such as those of nuclear power plants, which have rusted, corroded and eroded. The only artist to use the fourth dimen sion of audio, Audrey Kirschner, along with her vivid color photographs in two and three dimensions, incorporates the poignant singing of Joe Cocker. As you contemplate the photographic imagery of encircling friends, standing together with interlocked arms and then seated around the artist stretching up and outward their hands as protection, the viewer responds to Cocker’s moving plea, “Shelter me. Won’t you shelter me? When I’m sinking down and losing ground, shelter me, shel ter me, please shelter me. When I lose control on my way home, shelter me.” Roxanne Horvath’s “Reliquary Pediment for the Grove Goddess," in superbly craft ed wood, sculpture and color photogra phy proposes as a shelter, When all the trees are gone, we might honor their memory and that of the Grove Goddess by housing them in a museum piece. When all the buildings are gone, perhaps, one would remain in the Florida rushes for gators to visit.” Shelter Exhibit, at Gallery 88 through lune 4 500 TPC Boulevard, Sawgrass Village, Ponte Vedra Beach.

THE FINEST IN BAR-BQUE^ BLUES
3
By Laura W. Haywood
here is a line toward the end of the first act of Joseph Kesserling’s Arsenic and Old Lace that has long endeared the play to me. Mortimer Brewster, a reluctant drama critic by profession, has just discov ered that his dear maiden aunts, Abby and Martha, have dispatched a dozen lonely old gentleman with a brew ol assorted poi sons in elderberry wine. Moreover, his
gems that remains sprightly despite the passage of time. Case has given the play a nice little pro duction. Valerie A. Hall’s direction is a mite self-conscious, particularly in the first act where 1 think the necessary exposition intimidated her, but then it picks up neatly as the play gathers momentum. And Hall has done some good casting.

The Brewster sisters and Teddy: burying the evidence in canal locks.
I '-4
brother Teddy, who believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt, has been burying the vic tims in the basement, thinking they are yel low fever victims and that the graves are locks for the Panama Canal. Mortimer, who has just gotten engaged, is frantic and tries desperately lo get out of that night’s review, only to be told by his paper that there’s no one else to cover the opening. Leaving behind a very delicate situation, he announces he won't be gone long. “1’11 write the review on the way to the theatre to save time," he says. There’s not a theatre critic in the world that won’t sympathize! But Mortimer’s troubles are just starting in this piece of inspired lunacy. No sooner is he out of the house when his other brother, Jonathan, arrives, bringing with him Dr. Einstein (Herman, not Albert) and — just what everybody needed — another body. Jonathan has also during the course of his career eliminated a dozen victims, and it’s Dr. Einstein who makes it all possi ble by performing plastic surgery on Johnny. When sober, he’s an excellent cosmetic surgeon; during lhe last opera tion he was drunk and the result is Johnny now bears a marked resemblance to Boris Karloff. Mortimer struggles manfully to sort out the corpses, conflicts, and complications. I don't know when the play opened on Broadway, but the Frank Capra film ver sion dates back to 1944. Case Theatie has made a few updates (a reference to Saddam Hussein sticks in my mind) which do not hurt anything but were unneces sary, for this is one of those timeless little
irresistible as the homicidal sisters and Michael Porter is in fine form as Teddy, bellowing “Charge!” as he races up San Juan Hill (the stairs to the second floor). Mark Stewart captures all of Mortimer's desperation and yet manages a well-con trolled performance. Skip Valet may not look much like Boris Karloff (a good makeup artist could have done wonders) but he is delightfully menacing, and Bruce Hoffman is very good as the mad plastic surgeon. Some of the performers in smaller roles are a bit wooden, particularly Amy Wenzel as the girl next door, but M.L. Bohlen as a tough Brooklyn cop is, well, tough! The set, a home in Brooklyn, is the work of Lee, Susan, and Evelyn Fifield — and fine work it is. It’s a solid-looking set that captures the time and place to perfec tion, and is right on target in the details. No one is credited with the costume design, which is a pity, because the cos tumes are quite good, particularly the Brewster sisters’ funeral attire. Hall did the lights which are adequate but no more; Case is limited by some pretty primitive lighting equipment. Arsenic and Old Lace is an old war horse, but the nag can still run. Case Theatre’s production may not be the ulti mate staging of lhe play, but it’s still worth the trip to Mandarin. Arsenic and Old Lace runs through May 8 at the Mandarin Community Club, 12447 Mandarin Road. Tickets are $7. For reser vations and directions, call 768-2318.

Things Very (Special
By Joseph White w^ou can hear a slight pop as the W cork is pulled from the bottle. A pair of glasses tinkle together as ■ they are picked up. The sound of pouring liquid is amplified by a bell shaped glass as the wine splashes into it. After a small sip, the tasters pause for a second to savor the flavor. But all you can do is listen. You can’t have a glass or smel] the bouquet. This is radio, after al). Once a month, WJCT-FM Stereo 90, with host Dick Brown, presents The Jacksonville Wine Experience. Fitting in this day of talk radio, The Wine Experience is an hour-long radio call-in show about wine and food, broadcast the third Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. The next show - the third in the series - will air May 20. “Good wines and good food is the focus of our programs, and especially how to match them together,” Brown says. "The idea for the show developed out of a cou ple of things. In the past, once a year we did a wine show on radio or TV and the response was terrific. With the number of wine tastings going on around town — the Food Fight, benefits — that tells you there , is a lot of interest. We give people the i , - opportunity to talk about wine with some one who is really knowledgeable. “The show is not directed at people who are wine aficionados. If you just designed a show for those people, you’d lose most of your audience. You’d lose me. All calls are welcome.” The topic of the last show was Beaujolaises that are not nouveau, but mature wines that are available year round. The next show, though not set in stone, will be about Italian wines, says Brown. Brown, who admits he’s no wine expert, is joined each show by guests who are. “I enjoy wine and know a little about it, Brown says. For the last show, Brown shared the microphone and a few bottles of wine with Jean Hayford of The Liquor Store. Mark Graeser of the gourmet food shop On the Boulevard and Liz Bashore of Beech Street Grille. About 15 callers a show are able to ask questions and receive advice from the panel. Callers questions have included: Why do I get headaches when I drink white wine., Why do you swirl the wine in a glass?: Is Co d Duck from France?; What wines go with red fish? „ Some questions are easier to answe than others, but Brown and his pane a U’vopen to anything, from Beaujolais Nouveau to Boone’s Farm. My o jec is to answer the questions directyquestion is sincere, we’ll answer we can." When it comesjo wine pre er ence, Brown’s motto is ifyou. like taste of it, (even Cold Duck) drink it. The subject of wineT.a"rantsn intimidating, especially in restaurants, doesn’t have to be” Brown says“People should not be afraid to ry wines or experiment. The old saying

wine goes with red meat and white wine goes with fish and fowl — is true to some extent. But some reds you can have with fish, depending on the fish and how its prepared." Brown also recommends that people not stick to just trying wines from France or California. There are outstand ing wines that come from Oregon, Washington, Australia, Argentina and Chile. Wine tasting is a task that usually requires the senses of sight, taste and smell. How can you make a wine program work when you’re limited to sound? "You have to be vety articulate. What does dry mean to you? What does acidic mean? Sweet? Or metallic? These words are all vety subjective.” The words fruity, crisp, light and tannic are paints the tasters must use to create the visuals and sensations of taste for the listener. "The challenge is to let people know — hearing the wine pour ing, the tinkling of the glass — let them visualize what is happening,” Brown says. He laughs as he recalls when a person asked him if the show had a sound effects man. "No, that’s us. If it's not entertaining, people won’t learn from it. It has to engage you.” Engaging you, Brown points out, does not mean everyone down at the station is getting sloshed — putting lampshades on their heads and telling stories about their old college days. “People listening get the impression we are guzzling. You can’t do that and taste wine. We pour a small amount in each glass and swallow maybe two sips. As enjoyable as wine is enhancing a meal - it is an alcoholic bev erage.”
The next Jacksonville Wine Experience will be broadcast Thursday, May 20, 7:30 p.m. on Stereo 90. The Wine Line phone number is 354-0090.

number of my weJje n and a i U Sunday d anTnebrew schools, we all heard myths that Hitler was Jewish, and some said that his Her itage, not the impending Allied vic tory, caused him to commit suicide. One stubborn boy insists that Hitler’s father was at least half Jewish, and that young Adolf hated his father, causing him to translate his hatred into mass slaughter as an adult. Secular teachers, history books, and encyclopedias make no mention of Hitler having any jewish blood. I hope you, Cecil the allknowing can set the record straight. - A.D.

Was Adolf Jewish?
Wish 1 could oblige, bubeleh. But while Hitler probably didn't have any Jewish blood, it can’t be completely ruled out. Hitler s father was illegitimate and to this day there is some question about who his grandfather was. Throughout his career he was dogged by rumors about his pedigree, S° Y ?! igT =,rc!,lated by his fellow P3^-.he/°,nc/on Dai‘y Mirror a gravestone in a

^asuaI hnhose days^ But Alofs kept the surname Schicklgruber until he was 39 ^In ?876 a new baptismal certificate was issued declaring that Alois’s stepfather, J G. Hiedler, was in fact his real father. By this time both Maria and J.G. were dead. Why the name change so late in the day nobody really knows, but there is specula tion that Alois did it so he could come into an inheritance. At any rate, few researchers today believe J.G. was really Alois’s father. Now for the weird stuff. After the war Hitler’s former lawyer, Hans Frank, claimed that Adolf told him in 1930 that one of his relatives was trying to blackmail him by threatening to reveal his alleged Jewish ancestiy. Hitler asked Frank to find out the facts. Frank says he determined that at the time Maria Schicklgruber gave birth to Alois, she was working as a house hold cook in the town of Graz. Her employ ers were a Jewish family named Frankenberger, who had a 19-year-old son. The son, according to Frank, was Alois’s father and Hitler’s grandfather — which would make the man who inspired the Holocaust one-quarter Jewish. Frank’s allegations have vexed histori ans ever since. The distinguished Hitler scholar Werner Maser was so irritated he claimed Frank made the whole thing up. Others think Frank was telling the truth but that the research he did for Hitler was faulty. It turns out that all Jews had been expelled from Graz in the 15th century' and were not allowed to return until the 1860s; what’s more, so far as can be determined, Maria Schicklgruber never lived in Graz. Frank’s source for the Frankenberger yarn was a distant relation of Hitler’s, who sup posedly had letters exchanged by the Frankenbergers and Maria Schicklgruber. (It s claimed they gave her child support.) But neither the relative nor the letters have ever surfaced, and chances are it’s all a crock. So who really was Hitler’s grandfather? Werner Maser thinks it was the brother of his 'egal grandfather, UllC one JUUOllu Johann O---all J. Nepomuk Hiedler. But that’s not all. Nepomuk was also the grandfather of Klara p°elzl, Hitler’s mom. In other words, J.N. was both Adolf's paternal grandfather and ‘

In response to a complaint from stu dents, a 37-year-old substitute teacher in St. Louis admitted to authorities in November that he had indeed held an 11-year-old boy out of a fourth-floor window .to punish him for having spilled the teacher’s coffee, but said the whole thing was a joke. The teacher was later dismissed. ° In March, wealthy Italian art school director Rupert Hodson, ending a hotel stay in Lille, France, but finding himself momentarily short of cash to pay the bill, left the key to his Bentley as collateral while he took a taxi to a bank to get money. When the bank couldn't get his money quickly, the taxi driver forced Hodson into the car and took him to the police station. Furious, Hodson later returned to the hotel and attempted to buy it so he could fire the manager who had forced him to produce the cash in the first place. After that was unsuccessful, Hodson drove the Bentley through the front door of the hotel’s restaurant, causing $7,500 in damage. • Police in Chandler, Ariz., said that Wilputte Alanson Sherwood, a priest who was recently arrested and charged with sex crimes against teen-age boys, kept videotapes and meticulous logs of his adventures that reveal that since 1984, he had picked up exactly 3,908 men and boys along local freeways (a rate of at least 1.18 per day) and taken 1,840 of them to his home. • Jackie T. Stipes was arrested in Johnson city, Tenn., in January and charged with burglary. His plans were thwarted when, attempting to enter the house, he got stuck in the dog door and was discovered by the homeowner. « Psychology professor Russell Carney of Southwest Missouri State University told the Associated Press in August that he had developed a method for improving memo ry and told the reporter how he could recall, say, that a particular painting was done by Degas in 1865. First, think of an object that sounds like "Degas" (day-GAH), for example, “dagger,-and then memorize the last two digits of the _____ ■ ' sentence “Twin ' i new year by learning the moons rose r-" low, just clearing four pine saplings,” in which the first word begins with a T and stands for “1,” the second, N, stands for "2,” and so on. Thus, 1865 becomes “65," which becomes “just" “low ” which could translate to J-L, which could be “jelly," which would produce a “jelly dagger," to which the subject tries to find a resemblance, somewhere, in the Degas painting. Simple as that.

A Different Cafe Good food that's good for you. Really.

By Lance Roberts
ikeY likes it!” gqV/r Just say health food or vece■ I v ■ tarian food to many people ■ ■ and you get a look that indi cates you re some kind of off the wall nut. In spite of that, here’s a recommendation that you should try Heaven on Earth a Lafe. It features healthy foods and vegetari an dishes that are excellent. Go there with an open mind, leaving your childhood “1 don’t like broccoli” mentality behind, and you will discover some really exciting flavors. Remember, eating your broccoli is good for all those things your mother told you about and not eating your broccoli can cost you the presidency, but that’s another story. The regular menu at Heaven on Earth is the lunch menu. The evening selections are posted on a black board on one wall of this clean, almost Spartan looking cafe located in the Shoppes of Northshore at the beaches end of Atlantic Boulevard. No meats appear on the lunch menu. It is filled with an array of appetizers, salads and sandwiches that combine cheeses, guacamole, onions, olives, sprouts, nuts, soy products, cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables in various combinations. Fresh breads and rolls from the bakery, a few steps away, are used along with blue corn chips and pita bread. The night specials menu moves more in the direction of healthy gourmet and uses seafood to expand the possibilities^ On this evening, the entrees included shrimp fococcia (a style of pizza), baibecued grouper, pan seared sca!1°Ps aad spaghetti. Three soups du jour andI three special desserts filled out a very enticing

The creativity, combination of flavors and even the plate presentations of the entrees ranked with fancier, more expen sive restaurants. The spaghetti was simply a plate of a good quality spaghetti™ with a rich, very thick tomato sauce that explod ed with oregano aroma and flavor. To select the better dish between the barbe cue grouper and the ginger scallops was a tough call. The grouper had been grilled with very light barbecue seasonings along with red pep pers and shitaki mush rooms. The presenta tion used a wild rice-short grain white rice mix and large, fresh, just lightly steamed asparagus to create a picture per fect plate. The grouper was not overcooked and neither were the scallops that had been

pan sauteed with a light ginger flavor just barely apparent. They were plated in the same style as the grouper. Both of these dishes were outstanding. How can dessert be healthy? Well, you use tofu ice cream and carob chocolate and graham crackers and honey and healthy things like that. Is it fattening? Don’t ask. The regular dessert called Natural Death by Chocolate was a choco late ice cream frozen between two all nat ural honey graham crackers sprinkled with carob chips. Mikey liked it. The carob tofu pie was good but not nearly as exciting as the "Death". Heaven on Earth has a comfortable, family type feel with a vety pleasant and knowledgeable staff. You will not feel out of place if you’ve never had a healthy bite in your life. Try it, you’ll like it.

Quick Bite Every city has a few dining spols that are landmarks. In Jacksonville, the granddaddy of them all is Worman’s Bakery & Deli. 1712 San Marco Blvd. Worman’s has been a lunchtime and baked goods tradition since 1923. (Years before Mayor Ed Austin's glasses were first in style.) But just because it's been in business that long doesn't mean things never change there. Worman’s is now open until 8:30 p.m. on Friday. For more informalion call 3966592.

To reach ELIGIBLES advertisers by phone. RECORDING A GREETING: Everyone who purchases a print ad in FOLIO WEEKLY will be mailed two (2) five digit numbers. One number will be the Voice Mail Box code to be printed in the magazine, and the other will be his/her personal password into the ELIGIBLES system. To record an outgoing message that will inspire a caller to respond, the advertiser may call a special FREE# which will be sent to you along with your personal access code.
RESPONDING TO A GREETING: Anyone over 18 with a touch tone phone can respond to an ad they see in Folio Weekly by calling 1-900-77-FOLIO. The call is only $1.95 per minute. Follow the computer’s instructions. You have 60 seconds to leave your name, phone number and a brief message. RETRIEVING A MESSAGE: To retrieve messages left for them, the advertiser will call the 1-900-77-FOLIO number and...you guessed it...follow the instructions. You will have the option of repeating the message you just heard, deleting the message, or going on to the next message without deleting any. The computer is “user friendly.” Just go slowly the first few times and it works great! The cost is $1.95 per minute.
SPECIAL ADVICE: Do not leave sexually suggestive messages. It will take 24 hours for your outgoing message to be accepted by the system. Make a description of yourself and who you are looking for. Include as part of your message a special note for the callers responding to your ad, reminding them to leave their phone number so you can get in touch with them. No full names please. You must have a touch tone phone to use this system. We usually suggest the messages be checked twice weekly, perhaps Friday and Tuesday. WITH PROBLEMS: The system is almost completely foolproof but if you have any questions or problems, call Folio Weekly at 260-9770 Monday through Friday between 9:00a.m. and 5:00p.m. Naturally, Folio Weekly is not responsible for the content of the messages.

TIB he idea wasn't necessarily new but the guest list was certainly impressive. A host of representatives from Riverside Avondale Preservation, Riverside Avondale Community Coalition, Avondale Merchants Association, Five Points Area Association and the Park & King Area Merchants Association turned out for the unveiling of a cartoon rendition of their stomping grounds dedicated to C _~/--------- Charles "" ' ”Bennett, “ who ' 3 ' Congressman graciously attended with his wife by his side. The cartoon’s theme is a variation on similar posters that lay out the features of the city or community and encourage area businesses and organizations to purchase spots on a colorful “map" of the area. The Woman’s Club in Riverside, a familiar locale for special functions, became the gathering place on the late-April evening for Riverside/Avondale neighbors and friends of Congressman Bennett’s like RAP's Denise Huger, Councilman Hany Reagan. TV-4’s Deborah Gianoulis and George Winterling, sports personality' Harmon Wages and the Jacksonville Rugby Team, of which poster artist Casey Leydon is a member. Copies of the poster can be purchased for $10 each. The original art was auctioned to raise funds for the service projects of the sponsoring organizations.
