2HIE? CASES BARYSHNIKOV IS COMING! Internationally acclaimed ballet star Mikhail '

’

Baryshnikov is coming to Jacksonville this summer for his first visit here ever.

Sponsored by the Visiting Nurse Association, the electrifying dancer will perform August 2 in the Civic Auditorium.

Hailed as one of the world’s all-time great dancers, Baryshinikov has become a household name as a result of his numerous television appearances and starring roles in the films, White Nights and The Turning Point. Currently artistic director of Ameri­ can Ballet Theatre in New York City, the Russian born dancer will provide the city with a rare opportunity to see his phenom­ enal talent in person.

BEACH BOYS BACK The traditional Spring Music Festival will again feature the Beach Boys, top bill for a musical smorgasbord that starts at 11 a.m. and builds their 8 o’clock act, Satur­ day, May 23.

In addition to the California sounds of their 60s generation hits “Surfing,” “Cali­ fornia Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda, the day’s line-up will include the music of Three Dog Night “Joy to the World,” America, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Gary U.S. Bonds and Gold Tones.

All in Metropolitan Park, of course. All free. And all announced by Mayor Jake Godbold, who non-politically said that the Beach Boys were his first choice.

More details on all this, the International Outboard Grand Prix, a Pops concert at Friendship fountain and other Memorial Day weekend activities forthcoming in Folio Weekly.

LANDING ADOPTS A.SCHOOL The Jacksonville Landing has adopted Douglas Anderson School of the Arts as a special “business partner in education,” an arrangement that has the school provid­ ing support for the company and vice versa.

As a result, some 300 students are confirmed to participate in the opening celebration of The Landing, June 25-26, according to Debra Cochran, school pub­ licist. She said all of the talents at the school will be involved in the celebration.

The Landing, in turn, will provide ampitheatre space in which the students can perform, and will try to set up workshops and visits by some professional artists and performers who appear there. The school also will be a resource for hiring street performers and others.

A sign displaying logos of both The Jacksonville Landing and the Douglas Anderson School has been created as part of the agreement and is now on display at the school.

KID’S THEATRE Summer theatre for kids is set for June 17-July 29 at Theatre Jacksonville, for ages 8-14. It includes instruction in stage move­ ment, improvisation, acting, stage craft, costuming, make-up, puppetry, video pro­ duction and television techniques.

Plans are for participants to be divided into three groups, each of which will present their own show at the end of the six weeks. The students will design and execute the sets, costumes, lights, props, publicity and will serve as assistant directors, stage managers and, of course, actors.

The group will meet Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pre-registration before May 15 is $125, and registration May 15 or after is $150. For information, call 396 4425.

Violinist Sarah Johnson, a well-known South Carolina solo performer, will be visiting Jacksonville May 18-22, compli­ ments of Southern Bell and presented by the Assembly of Jacksonville.

Purpose of the visitation is to place special artists “in the midst of American communities” to perform solo and person­ ally interact with audiences where they work. Ms. Johnson is first artist ever to receive a South Carolina Performing Arts Fellowship.

The violinist will make 10 appearances in the area, including stops at NAS Squad­ ron 30, the Carpenter Gothic Church near the Riverwalk and the Omni Hotel con­ struction site downtown.

The public is invited to the informal performances at no charge. For informa­ tion call the Arts Assembly, 358-3600.

CREATURES A university professor with fiction, drama and playwright experience behind him came away the winner in the national playwright sweeps known as the 17th annual Jack­ sonville University Playwright contest.

William Babula, Sonoma State Uni­ versity (California) won with his play, “Creatures,” and in addition to the $1,000 prize is assured of production of his work.

The full-length play will premier at JU during the ’87-88 season, thus giving area residents an opportunity to see it.

The play portrays a Vietnam veteran’s alienation upon returning to the U.S. after the war, and it tells of his camaraderie and conflict with a WWII veteran, also in seclusion, and his romance with a runaway.

Babula previously won a national com­ petition for a novel and also a playwright contest in California, and another of his plays was a finalist in a national competi­ tion. He has been published in the Texas Review.

i

Dr. Davis Sikes announced the winner and said there were an amazing 402 entries in the contest.

Presumably, playwrighting goes to the top of the list of overcrowded career fields.

FLOWERS IS ART Elise Parman took top honors for her oil painting, “Flowers,” at the 1987 Student Art Annual Exhibit, Florida Community College at Jacksonville. She won the pur­ chase award plus $125, and her work is now a permanent part of the college gallery’s collection.

The president’s purchase award, a $150 prize, went to Karlene Ransbottom for an abstract ceramic work that also will be displayed, and Erik Hollander won the student’s choice award for his drawing.

The next show at the gallery will be for elementary school students, and it opens Tuesday.

SAN MARCO PARK San Marco got a recent uplift with the dedication of a new park, complete with a fountain, gazebo, trees and flowers.

Named the Sheffield and Abla Balis Park for its benefactors, it is at the intersection of Atlantic and San Marco boulevards, where the old Gulf Oil station used to stand. The property was donated by the city and will be maintained by the San Marco Preservation Society.

GET THE PICTURE? The staff of Folio Weekly has discovered that it is impossible for our photographer to be in as many places as necessary to see all the things going on in Jacksonville. So we could use some help. If you attend an event and take pictures, please let us know.

We might be able to use them. Call 733-3103 and ask for Kay Culver.

SINGLES

...

FINDING NEW WAYS TO MEET I Auctions, singles groups, ads, bumper stickers and supermarket promotions being used.

By Susan Stanton Remember the swinging singles of the 70s, gold chains up to their ears and Club Med reservations into the next century?

Were those really good old days? For some, maybe they were, but the sexual revolution is over and single life in the 80s is a whole different game.

For one thing, there are more single people than ever before. According to the latest census figures, at least 20 million people live single, an increase of 90 percent over 1970. And for another, there are more ways for them to meet.

Church activities and the bar scene, though still popular, are only the begin­ ning. Now ways that were shunned by respectable singles not long ago have become socially acceptable, and these new choices include benefit auctions, singles organizations, personals ads, supermarket promotions and even bumper stickers.

Auctioning bachelors off to the highest bidder has become a popular social event all over the country, giving women a chance to bid on their favorites through a system that seems to work for everyone. The eligible bachelors find sponsors for a “date package,” the charities earn good money and the singles have some fun.

Last spring’s “Bid for Bachelors” here netted the March of Dimes $15,000 for packages such as trips to New York, Chicago and Key West, a beauty makeover, a ride in a Porsche and private plane, and dinner and a tour of a local television station.

Women attending the auction were there to have fun, not to seriously look for a mate, but most interviewed said they intended to bid if they saw someone who really knocked their socks off.

And they may be taking it all more seriously than some care to admit. One woman who learned of one of the bache­ lor’s steady girlfriend said he should not have participated because, “A woman who bids on a man should have a decent shot at him for her money.”

Marcus Prom, 35, owner Prom Corpora­ tion, a general contracting business, brought in $600 for dinner at The Surf Club and a

visit to the comedy club, the Punch Line, where he and date had a few laughs getting to know one another. Being at the auction was equivalent to a year’s dating, he said, because he met so many nice women there.

“I wish the bids had been limited to $25 each. 1 would have gone out 25 times,” he said.

As North Florida becomes a more popu­ lar place to shoot movies, working as extras evidently has given at least two singles yet another unique way of meeting. Prom still dates a woman he worked with on the Rob Lowe feature filmed here last winter.

Although it doesn’t take a genius to see the potential for dating when singles share similar interests under one roof, such as at a fitness center, Dan Murphy, manager of the Ponte Vedra Health and Fitness Center, said some of his members met while working out there and dated, maybe even got married. But the majority of the people who use his medically-based facility are more interested in improving their health and fitness than their dating.

Even the grocery stores have a new wrinkle for the singles of the 80s in several cities. Long a successful meeting ground, some urban supermarkets have formalized this role by running special promotions to encourage singles to shop and meet one another on a certain night.

Another unusual singles service growingg on the West Coast is a club that, for a fee,:, issues a personal number printed on aa bumper sticker. The subscriber affixes sticker to car, and presto—if someone likes what he/she sees in that car, a phone call to the club will be relayed to the subscriber, virtually eliminating face-to-face rejection.

Singles groups are also on the grow here and nationally. The old concept that a person would have to be desperate to join such a group seems to be long forgotten, and the groups say they give people a better meeting ground and a chance to share experiences and learn from one another.

Discovery Thursday is a strictly social singles group and since it has no dues, no officers and nothing to sign up for, there are no members as such. Singles simply pay $4 to share a meal, socialize, discuss the evening’s topic in small groups and dance every Thursday evening.

Polly Englant, who has been involved with the group for two years, says the number of people who gather each Thurs­ day has grown and the average age is getting younger. The group includes airline pilots, doctors, painters, hospital orderlies— “people from all walks of life who enjoy socializing.”

William Candler, editor of Portfolio, one Support groups such as Parents Without of Folio Weekly’s sister publications. Candler Partners, for single parents, and Galaxy 1, said he believes there are two major reasons for the widowed and divorced, are also for the growing acceptability of their use. active for singles, offering understanding First, being single has become more and supportive places for people in similar respectable, especially in the last two situations to go.

Facing the trauma of mid-life divorce.

I

i

By Lee Butcher A few years ago Judy Erwin happily took her daughter to New York to help her settle to study dance. It was a high point in her life. But when she returned to Jacksonville a few days later, her world had caved in on her.

Erwin’s husband of 22 years had packed up his belongings and moved out of the house. She was stunned, hurt, bereft.

“1 had no idea that he was even considering that,” she says. “It was traumatic. I ran a whole gamut of emotions from disbelief, trying to understand, then going through a period of denial. It hurt.”

Erwin was 42 and the mother of children who were 18 and 20 when her husband left.

She worried about finances even though she eventually received what she calls a good settlement. The biggest problem was trying to make sense of her life and trying to put Humpty-Dumpty together again.

“You’ve had an identity your entire adult life,” she says, “and you can’t understand what it would be like any other way. You also can’t believe that this person you’ve shared your whole life with could betray you, that he could break apart something that you thought was going to be forever.”

Although Erwin was in a state of disbelief when her husband left, she looks back now and thinks things may not have been as rosy as they had seemed to her at the time.

“There are always clues, but in my generation the woman chooses to make excuses for those clues and ignore them,” she says. “My son told me once that he thought his father was involved with another woman. I confronted him with my suspi­ cions, and he gave me very plausible reasons why that was wrong. I accepted them because that’s what I wanted to believe.” . . . , .

The pain of rejection was the hardest thing for Erwin to accept. “The first year, I developed a false toughness and said, i‘Well if that’s what he wants to do, let him an ahead. I can make it.’ But, deep down, l keot harboring the thought that this was not real that it was going to end, and he was going to come back and that we would beErwinhwas separated for a year before the divorce became final, and it was not until all The legal knots of wedlock had been

STARTING OVER unraveled that the shock waves really struck hard. “The real depression took place six months after the divorce, when I realized it was real, that he had chosen somebody else over me and that he wouldn’t come back,” she says. “That was when I really became the most depressed.”

Erwin is one of a growing number of women in their forties and fifties who, after spending half of their lives as wife and mother, find themselves struggling to find an identity, to make ends meet financially, and to get on with life after the pain of divorce. Even though it was hard for her, she was one of the lucky few.

Her husband had left her in what she says was a reasonably good financial situation. Even so, she had to alter her lifestyle. “Things went well enough for a year, financially, because nothing went wrong. Then appliances started to break and need repairs. The car broke down and I had to get a new one. My lifestyle had certainly been decreased, and this is why 1 decided I had to do something to bring myself back up somewhere near what it would have been if I had still been with him.”

Diance Schenck was 42 when her mar­ riage finally broke up, but it was a long, agonizing process. Her husband would leave, then come back, then leave again.

To make it worse, she says he made no secret that he was involved with a pretty, young woman.

“He never made a secret of it,” she says.

“I believe he thought that by bringing it all in the open it made it all right. I took a lot of humiliation because 1 couldn’t believe it. I thought he would come to his senses, that he was just going through male menopause.”

Schenck received a settlement but says her husband stopped paying alimony. At one time she worked three part-time jobs to get along. “The financial part scared me the most,” she says. “You get such an insecure, panicked feeling when you’ve got a home, children and responsibilities. We went without heat and air conditioning for a whole year. We kept a fire going in the fireplace and put electric blankets on the bed.”

Schenck was not keen on dating, either, because she had had no experience and it all seemed strange to her. Fate put her into contact with a man at one of the places she worked and they became good friends.

Gradually, the friendship turned to love and they were married.

“I was lucky,” she said. “When the divorce was final, I was in a real emotional crush. We have been married five years and things have worked out just fantastically.

I’m now vice president and corporate treasurer for an architectural firm.”

But she will never forget the trauma of the divorce. “The most devastating part is being left alone,” she says. “I almost think I would rather have had a death than divorce. Is that a horrible thing to say?

Maybe it is, but with death, at least it’s final.”

Jo Brooke, a counseling psychologist at the University of North Florida, says that women who are left in mid-life are usually devastated. On the other hand, there are those who feel a sense of relief because they suddenly feel free of a stifling relationship.

A good many of older women return to school, she says, either to sharpen their old skills or to learn a new one. Generally, they fare better than the younger students because of their maturity and motivation even though they often feel inferior in the beginning.

Brooke holds counseling sessions with women in this situation to help them work through the pain of rejection, fear, and loss of identity. “Those are difficult to work through,” she says. “What 1 try to help them understand is that these are normal stages of emotional struggle. 1 try to share what other women have experienced. If I can get them in a group and let them talk it out, it helps because they know other people have felt the same things and that there’s an end to it.”

One big problem facing most divorced women is the trauma of dating again. They worry about how they can meet people.

“Instead of thinking how they can do that, I encourage them to ask what they want to do, something they’ve always wanted to do if they had the freedom. Maybe it’s playing tennis, golf, sailing or taking flying lessons. Any kind of a fantasy they’ve had, they should get out and do it. This way they’re likely to meet people who have similar interests. A lot of women think the only way they can meet people is at church or at bars.”

She has this advice: “Instead of asking how do you meet people, ask yourself how you can grow and do things that benefit you.”

Erwin’s way was to establish a new career. She had been editor of her high school newspaper and had a life-long interest in photography. She had also done

most of the publicity writing for the many volunteer organizations she had partici­ pated in while married. She turned both talents to money-making ends by becoming a free-lance writer and photographer.

“I was lucky,” she says, “because the only other jobs I felt qualified for were low-paying white collar jobs. I just natu­ rally gravitated toward writing and pho­ tography and the money is enough to make the situation easier.”

Erwin is not putting all of her eggs in one basket, however. She receives her AA degree this month, hopes to get a bachelor’s degree, then go to law school. She will be 53 when she earns a law degree, if every­ thing goes as she plans. “I’m not worrying about that right now,” she says. “I’m worrying about each step of the way.”

Dating was also a problem for her. She refused to go out until the divorce was final and, even then, it was difficult. “1 started dating my husband when I was 19 and had never dated men,” she says. “I had dated boys, but never anyone with any experience in life. At first, I actually ignored it. I didn’t want any part of it. The first man invited me out and I said, ‘No! No! No!’ 1 just didn’t think 1 could deal with it.”

Her grown children actually pushed her into dating, but it was far from pleasant at first. “It was a very shaky, funny, peculiar feeling,” she says. “We have a large bathroom with a double sink and my daughter and I would both be at a sink getting ready to go out. 1 thought, “This is really weird.”

Erwin passed through her trials, includ­ ing major illnesses that wasted her 5-foot 6-inch frame to 90 pounds at one point.

One of her coronary arteries developed a blockage, but managed to repair itself.

Finally, she met a man and fell in love.

“I didn’t stop grieving until the magic of falling in love happened to me again,” she says. “I felt like a 16-year-old again.”

The relationship is flourishing, even though Erwin says she probably will never marry again “in the traditional sense.”

As traumatic as mid-life divorce is, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even a sudden, devastating squall on the ocean ends with the sun shining though and perhaps, making a rainbow.

VOLUNTEERS IN PRISON Businessmen say time behind bars is good for them.

By John W. Cowart

Many Jacksonville businessmen choose to

O spend time in prison.

Perhaps others should, too, because these volunteers say the time behind bars is good for them.

One doctor plays his guitar, a bank president prepares meals for the next day, most just talk, listen and visit one-to-one,’ assuming the role of friends and confidants to the convicted murders, rapists, child abusers and others. The 40 laymen on a recent visit included five physicians, four lawyers, a police chief, a dentist, a banker and nine clergymen of varying denomina­ tions.

The group is known as Kairos, a Greek word meaning a special time or God’s special time, and it is a loosely formed system from no particular church that hasbeen doing its work quietly in Florida for 10 years and has now spread to 22 other states. There are about 400 members in Jacksonville.

Raiford prison, more formally known as Union Correctional Institution (UCI), has been the scene of 21 Kairos weekends, and the group also visits the federal prison in Tallahassee and Baker Correctional Insti­ tute.

Volunteers enter a prison on Thursday afternoon and staywith a group of inmates during all the daylight hours until Sunday afternoon. Religious orientated classes and times of sharing life experiences dominate the weekend.

At nights, the volunteers stay at a nearby motel or campground where they cook all the food served to all participants (about 150 of them) in the Kairos weekend. The meals served by the volunteers is the only home-cooking some prisoners have tasted

*n Prison regulations prohibit giving ma­ terial gifts. aPart from a- once-a-year Christmas present from a prison approved list to the inmates, but volunteers do take in home-baked cookies and in all visits to this eesture has amounted to a tasty ^ 000 dozen treats given for the participat­

Clara Powers, a Kairos volunteer, and a Union Correctional Institution inmate.

In addition to the long weekends, volun­ teers return to prison on the fourth Satur­ day of each month for a reunion, and many visit the inmates at other times and ex­ change letters with them. They also meet on the outside for training, camaraderie and prayer.

Beyond wanting to share cookies and humanitarian concern, what motivates these successful businessmen to devote vast amounts of time to loving other men, hardened criminals some of whom have spent over half their lives behind bars?

“It does me more good personally than anything else 1 do; this is very satisfying,” said William E. “Bill” Burguieres, a non-food broker, who is chairman of the North Florida District of Kairos.

“I’m the original skeptic; you’ve got to show me,” he said, “and the men doing this are wonderful. I’ve seen Gator fans—I mean avid Gator fans—in Raiford on a weekend when there’s football in Gaines­ ville, and they stand up and say there’s no place else I’d rather be than here in this prison. And they’d mean it!

“This goes beyond a hobby of conven­ ience. You really have to want to do it. It doesn’t leave much time for golf or tennis,” he said. “In Kairos it’s not just nice people being nice but God at work.”

Bank president Bennett Brown feels he owes a great debt.

Brown, who expects to open Enterprise National Bank (in organization) in Jack­ sonville by June, attended his first Kairos

weekend at Raiford in February. He plans to go back.

“I was raised in a Christian family on a farm in South Carolina,” Brown said, “But 1 re-committed my life about 14 years ago largely because 1 was living next door to a missionary who spent a lot of time with me.

“Time. One on one. That’s what 1 got; that’s what I feel I should give.”

Brown describes himself as “a con­ servative guy and not too big on parole.”

He said about 80 percent of men released from prison end up there again for addi­ tional crimes but that for prisoners who have been through Kairos that return rate over the past ten years has been less than 25 percent.

“Love changes hearts,” said Orange Park cardiologist Dr. Benjamin C. Olliff, Jr. who has attended the last four Kairos weekends. Although Dr. Olliff has never been incarcerated, he identifies with the imprisoned because of his personal experi­ ences.

“I was raised in church but doing my own thing was destroying me. Whatever felt good to me, 1 was doing. That lead to neglecting my wife, children, losing contact with the real values of life.

“I realized I was destroying myself but I couldn’t get out of it. 1 just couldn’t,” he said.

“One of the best things I do is bring loving, caring people here behind the

walls,” said the Rev. Eldon Cornett, superintendent of chaplains at UCI. Rev. Cornett is one of three chaplains for the 2,000 inmates, and he said he owes a debt to “the Kairos volunteers who devote so much time, energy and personal involve­ ment to better the quality of life for inmates.

“These people come in with an attitude of acceptance for the inmates as human beings,” Rev. Cornett said. “They give the inmates the opposite of rejection, which is all some of these men have ever known.

They say, I can love you because God loves me and you through me. They show that some people still care.

“This kind of attitude changes the atmosphere inside the prison. Instead of being judgmental, instead of saying ‘you’re just a throwaway being warehoused,’ Kairos volunteers come in saying, ‘We recognize you’ve made a miserable mistake, but there’s hope for you,’ ” he said.

Another volunteer joined the program only after the crisis of finding himself $10 million in debt, was Raymond Duncan, who had served as an administrative as­ sistant to both Hans and Tanzler and Mayor Jake Godbold. This was about seven years ago, after a real estate deal went bad and left him and two associates in debt, unemployed and without resources.

Someone loaned Duncan the money to survive that crisis and related IRS problems cropped up. During this period, Duncan attended a Crusillo, a Spanish word mean­ ing short course in Christianity. His com­ mitment deepened and sought expression in service to prisoners, he said.

“We (volunteers) are usually college educated, white and upper income,” he said. “They (inmates) are usually black, lower income and with little education.

What can bridge that kind of gap? Love.

“For them, life has always had a hook in it. We try to show love without condi­ tions, and for the first time in their lives they’re confronted with unconditional love and it reaches them.”

EXTREME PREDJUDICE Great cast, gifted director fall short.

By Pat McLeod Extreme Predjudice is neither as good as it should have been nor as bad as it might have been. It’s just okay. But given director Walter Hill’s track record with action thrillers and this particular movie’s prom­ ise, that’s not enough.

Walter Hill got his start as a screenwriter under Sam Peckinpah for whom he wrote The Gateway, starring Steve McQueen.

That was not one of Peckinpah’s better efforts nor was the script noted for its logic and intelligence. But it bore Hill’s essential trademarks: lots of action and a strong, no-nonsense hero who’s short on words and big on deeds.

The director has said that Extreme Prejudice is “the first serious picture” he’s done since Southern Comfort. The past five years, however, have included his most popular film by far—18 Hrs. with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy— as well as his most unusual—Streets of Fire, the “rock 'n roll fable” starring some striking set designs and pyrotechnical camera work.

Let’s just forget about Brewster’s Millions and Cossroads.

It’s clear that Walter Hill can make an entertaining action film with interesting characters and a reasonably credible story line. So I was geared for Extreme Prejudice, or so 1 thought. The previews promised Nick Nolte as a rough ’n tough modern-day Texas Ranger confronting a crackerjack Special Forces unit. An added treat was to be Powers Boothe as a dastardly villian.

(I’m a real sucker for both Nick Nolte and Powers Boothe.)

The movie starts well with lively intercuts of six bad dudes, officially declared dead in military maneuvers but obviously alive and ready to do some kicking, as they rendezvous with their commanding officer (Michael Ironside), himself one mean mother. The movement pulses to the tense score by Academy-award winner Jerry Goldsmith as each character makes his ominous entrance. You know there’s gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight.

The credits then ring up against a blood-red sun sinking through the clouds into night, all orchestrated by Goldsmith’s

10

score to pitch the tension higher and higher.

But it was during the otherwise effective credits that I had my first misgivings. When a film sports more than one screenwriter, I become nervous. Extreme Prejudice claimed story by Fred Rexer and John Milius (Conan the Barbarian) and script by Deric Washburn (The Deer Hunter) and Harry Kleiner (Bullitt). Individually, these men have done some distinguished work. I only hoped they could pull it all together.

Multiple script writers seldom do.

They don’t this time either. Extreme Prejudice ultimately suffers from a ludi­ crous script with insufficient character development, illogical motivation and in­ surmountable cliches.

Nick Nolte is as good as he can be playing the tightlipped man of honor who likes his women quiet, his whiskey straight and his enemies dead. It’s just a shame that this fine actor’s talents are wasted in such stereotypical roles. Jack Benteen, the Ranger of Extreme Prejudice, looks and acts like a slightly older Jack Cates of 48 Hrs., only a little more surly. Nick Nolte has yet to find a script or a character equal to his role as Ray Hicks in Karel Reisz’s Who’ll Stop the Rain?” a marvelous film seen by too few viewers.

About all Powers Boothe does in Ex­ treme Prejudice is snarl, squash scorpions and snort coke. He looks the part he’s supposed to play but what more can you do with a cliche?

Two supporting performances should be noted, however. Rip Torn is typically convincing as a Texas sheriff who trouble­ shoots with the Rangers. When he’s done in, as you know he will be, the movie loses a lot. Also very good is William Forsythe, the baby-faced convict in Raising Arizona, here playing a highly-trained operative who finds that patriotism and morality do not necessarily blend.

Extreme Prejudice takes a great cast and a gifted director but delivers just another ordinary action-thriller. To me, that’s extremely disappointing. * * * 3 of 5 stars.

included ouppetry, ventriloquism, magic, on dan« and comedy. The concert was held at the Florida Theatre Friday evening and as a Sunday matinee.

Miss Lewis began the show by condnot­ ing the special arrangement, A Touch of Tchaikovsky,” adapted from the finale of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in Fminor.

She also sang special lyrics written for use with this arrangement, and then stepped down from the podium to introduce Lamb Chop, her most famous puppet.

Lamb Chop and Shari sang Chopin’s Minute Waltz, to which lyrics had been added, and Aaron Lebedof’s Rumania. A special version of Bizet’s Carmen was next on the program, condensed from the original three-hour opera to a little over five minutes. Miss Lewis assumed the roles of the three principal characters of the opera while operating puppets for each.

Another of Bizet’s works was presented next as Miss Lewis conducted the JSO in the “Farandole” from L’Arlesienne Suite No. 2. Captain Human, an aging kangaroo

puppet with a fiddle, played the Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5, assisted by Miss Lewis. A special dance number featuring a life-sized puppet of Fred Astaire closed the first portion of the concert.

“My Father is a Magician,” a song which included the performance of several magic tricks, opened the second half, and next came a puppet baby talking with Miss Lewis and being serenaded with Oh! Baby, a lullaby with music written by Brahms.

After this baby was put to bed, John Dankworth’s Turkish Delight, based on a Turkish march by Mozart, was performed to introduce Mozart’s Overture to “The Marriage of Figaro,” conducted by Miss Lewis.

A sharp contrast in style followed, with Leroy VanDyke’s “The Auctioneer,” sung by an Arkansas grizzly bear. The finale was the song “What am I?” which combined song, dance and magic, with Miss Lewis dressing as a clown during the number.

Miss Lewis took some time at the end of the concert to thank her audience and the musicians of the orchestra and to entertain a few questions. Selections not conducted

by Miss Lewis were conducted by Larry Blank.

BLUES FROM DECOY They deliver blues that swing like mad.

By Arvid Smith The blues, that sound that has always drawn so successfully upon its tonalities and “feel,” is in an upward cycle now that could well be termed a second blues revival.

And the even better news is that this new-found popularity is proving to be fertile ground for such bands as St. Augustine’s Decoy.

Coming together from various local groups and shedding stylistic differences for the sake of a cohesive sound, Decoy churns out a sophisticated, expanded blues that swings like mad and is as tight as the stage space at Applejack’s. Most material is original (naturally) and any covers per­ formed are obscure enough to keep Decoy’s stage sets fresh.

The Decoys are Mike Hart, guitar, Noel Millan, drums, and Sonny Clyatt, bassist.

All three sing but with Clyatt’s smooth, unaffected vocal sometimes stealing the show from the more forceful (and featured) Hart. Still, despite their claims of being three equal parts, this is Mike Hart’s show all the way. A strong presence whether delivering a blues shouter or simply gazing at his foot pedals, Hart has the bluesman’s command of the stage.

Beyond his somewhat overbearing vocals, he applies this trait to his guitarwork and can stop time on a good night. He draws heavily from Albert King’s rougher lines and from the speedier phrasing of Buddy Guy and Freddy King and presents an encyclopedia of electric blues styles tying his phrases into a knot with a vibrato that ouivers quivers like an arrow finding its mark.

4 Trios have to work harder. The guitar, bass drums drums format is basically a rhythm and the problem that always presectionitself is how to solo and sustain the sents ibasic continuo of sound without the bottom

dropping out and leaving the band with more holes than Albert Hall. With Decoy this problem never arises due to the intricacies and subtleties within the in­ terplay of Clyatt and Millan.

Expanding to a jazz format almost at will during a number is the feature that separates Decoy from any number of blue bands. They use the expanded chordal structure of jazz while retaining a less complex blues soloing, a technique demon­ strated in such originals as Hart’s “Electric Outfield.” This tune combines bassist Clayatt’s solid underpinnings and jazzier scales (Clyatt was a member of the much lamented TRAYN) with Hart’s popping 9th and 13th chords and a healthy dose of jazz chromaticism to make its point. Hats off also to Hart for the swingy Mose Allisonish, “Love and Money.”

As for drummer Noel Millan’s rendition of Slim Harpo’s novelty-blues “Tina-NinaNu,” the less said the better. Millan is an outstanding percussionist and a veteran of Pili-Pili, Screaming Trees and Coffee Club, but he should defer the vocalizing to Hart and Clyatt.

Though no doubt capable of extended soloing, members of this band prefer their delivery to be fairly brief and to the point.

Perhaps this is what makes their solo efforts all the more exciting. Hart’s guitarwork is usually based on that familiar call-andresponse pattern, aided by a “slapback” echo for embellishment. The slapback gives the proceedings an almost rockabilly flair.

It will be interesting to watch Decoy grow and see whether they can breath more life into their already flourishing jazz-colored blues (or is it the opposite?). They are of the genre bound and determined.

By Tina Kicklighter Jacksonville’s country music tradition will continue in the Coliseum Sunday, begin­ ning at 7:30 p.m. when “Bocephus,” better known as Hank Williams Jr. makes a concert appearance.

The 37-year-oId mega-star recently re­ ceived his biggest honor when he was named “Entertainer of the Year” by the Academy of Country Music, quite an accomplishment for a man who has spent years in the shadow of his father, the legendary Hank Williams. The first song Hank Williams Jr. wrote, “Standing in the Shadows,” was about his difficulties trying to emerge on his own. In fact, Williams rarely gives interviews out of fear that someone will inquire about or refer to his father.

Fighting comparisons to Hank Williams Sr. may have been a problem for him at one time, but now 54 albums later Bochephus has made a name for himself. The accomplished musician plays a number of instruments, including guitar, piano, har­ monica, fiddle, steel guitar, bass guitar, drums and harp.

His string of hit singles is long and growing, including, “Family Tradition,” “Old Habits,” “All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)” and “Mind Your Own Business.”

Success is extra sweet for Hank Williams Jr. because he had to fight hard for it. In addition to his struggle to get recognition for his own name, he had to deal with the pain of physical rehabilitation in 1975 after an accident that almost ended his career.

Williams nearly lost his life on the MontanaIdaho border when he fell 500 feet onto a boulder, badly damaging his face and skull.

Being a general optimist, he managed to

turn a negative into a positive and after months of recuperation, taught himself to sing and play guitar again. Instead of being discouraged, the singer/songwriter became even more motivated and developed an even deeper drive for success.

Honors have included the 1985 Video of the Year, Academy of Country Music, for “All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight” and Billboard’s Top Male Artist, Top Album and Top Album Artist in 1982.

He also won nine BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) Writer’s Awards.

Williams’ concerts have been compared to those of the late Southern rock band from Jacksonville, Lynyrd Skynyrd, a fact of which he is proud. But when it comes to categorizing, although he balks at any category as too confining, his music is probably best described as country rock.

The appeal of Williams and his acclaimed Barna Band spans from conservative yuppies to hell-bent rednecks. They all have one thing in common: they enjoy the two-hour, non-stop shows. Such is the frenzy of a Williams performance, one of the members of rock group Van Halen said on a recent MTV interview, “We don’t go crazy anymore; we go Bocephus.”

Appearing with Williams this Sunday will be Louisiana native, Eddy Raven, whose hits have included “I got Mexico,” “I Should’ve Called” and “She’s Playing Hard to Forget.” Raven is also quite successful as a songwriter, having won 14 ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) songwriting awards.

Tickets are $15 plus service charge and are available at all Select-a-Seat Outlets.

Set RIVERWALK FESTIVAL Something for everyone in arts, crafts.

By Tina Kicklighter An outdoor, spring treat is on tap this weekend when some 150 artists and crafts specialists from all over the country display at the Riverwalk Arts and Crafts Festival.

The festival is a potpourri of paintings, glass, photography, sculpture, pottery, weav­ ing, quiltmaking, needlework, woodwork, basketry and more. Last year, which was the first for the festival, some 75,000 attended, and already the event qualifies as one of the area’s top arts activities.

A special attraction this year will be the nationally acclaimed works of the John Campbell Folk School of Brasstown, North Carolina. The students will show and sell handmade items such as rugs, baskets, jewelry, fashion apparel and their famous Appalachian carved figures.

Art enthusiasts can also look forward to viewing the works of Betty Hale Grugin, whose paintings have been selected for display in a number of museums and corporate collections in the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Saudi Arabia and most of the United States.

Frances Hancock of Tampa, a featured artist, is equally well known in the Eastern United States for her unique brush and pallette knife techniques of oil painting.

Also featured is Bill Slade, owner of the local Slade Gallery on St. Johns Avenue.

Slade’s work consists of solid sculptural pieces, blown glass sculptures and hand­

made paperweights, and he was recently honored when the city gave a piece of his work to representatives from Jacksonville’s sister city in the Soviet Union, Murmansk.

According to Slade, a Jacksonville Uni­ versity graduate and one of the school’s first glass students, there are only approxi­ mately five glassblowers in the entire state of Florida and only 350 in the United States. . “I’m mystified by the process,” said Slade. “You have to be quite adventurous and free-spirited to deal with molten glass.

It’s not widely taught or offered,” he added.

Pat Craig, Riverwalk manager, attributes the festival’s success to the wide variety of art that is displayed. “We really do have something there for everyone, regardless of whether their interest is in shipbuilding or painting,” she said. “The show will appeal to people of all ages, from teenagers to senior citizens, and there should be art for sale in price ranges to fit varying budgets,” she added.

A committee consisting of local art professors and other art professionals screened the applicants and selected the artists who are scheduled to participate in the event.

The exhibits will be open Friday, . --------,, noon until 7 pm, and on f — ’ and‘ Sunday, “ Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Each poem read by Plumly took tne audience through time and space to a scene nainted by the poet’s flawless use of the language His reading of •‘Posthumous Keats,” from his book, Summer Celestial, generated visions of 19th century Italy where a dying John Keats traveled with his companion, Severn. , While “Posthumous Keats dominated the senses with images filled with sound and motion, “Cedar Waxwing on Scarlet Fire­ thorn” stimulated the emotions.

Preceding Plumly on the evening Pro. gram were readings by four winning conte­ stants in the festival’s poetry competition.

Joseph Bolton, first place; Patricia Corbus' third place; Rejeanne Davis Ashley, best of Jacksonville entries; and Kathleen Hawk runner up of Jacksonville entries. Second place winner Joanne Childers was not present.

Other poets reading during the festival were Mary Sue Koeppel, Yvonne Sapia Bill Slaughter, Jack Surrency, Kevin Bezner’ Charles Feldstein, Ray McClintock, George Hallam, Sharon Scholl and Tony Bialobryski.

In addition to the readings, the work­ shops offered were well received, again perhaps topped by Plumly. In his work­ shop, Plumly took a poem from each writer, invited comments from the group and injected his own appraisal.

Another very effective workshop was a panel discussion on the work of Theodore Roethke. Participating were Bill Slaughter, UNF professor, and FCCJ Professors Charles Feldstein, Paul Kleinpoppen and Bob Gentry.

Hosts Dr. Jack Surrency, FCCJ assistant dean of communications, and Kevin Bezner, professor of creative writing, concluded that the event was a solid success. Bezner said it definitely will be repeated in 1988.

However, Plumly’s high school English teacher, Miss Otte, spotted the 15-yearold’s ability. “We called her General Otte,” he said. “She was very militaristic, but she appreciated what I was writing.”

His writing then was based in auto­ biography, and it still is. “I can’t write fiction,” he said. “It’s not something 1 even understand. If it doesn’t happen, I can’t do it.”

Writing poetry really came as an acci­ dent, according to Plumly. While in col­ lege, he developed a taste for reading poetry and often cornered friends and read to them. One day the editor of the campus literary magazine asked for some of his poems.

“He had assumed that I was writing,” said Plumly. “So I wrote three poems.

They were pretty dark, melancholy. They weren’t terrible; they weren’t very good, he laughed. “Unfortunately, he published them, and they still exist somewhere, in somebody’s file.”

One of those first three poems showed an obsession with nature, which is some­ thing Plumly never lost. Growing up among trees and nature, he developed a deep respect for the natural environment. Many of his poems, such as “Tree Ferns, “Wildflower,” and “Cedar Waxwing on Scarlet Firehorn” reflect that obsession.

In “Wildflower,” Plumly transports the reader to a June day where a kitchen abounds with the smell of fresh cut wild­ flowers. His use of the language suc,cef?j in vividly delivering the image and m aroma of a summer bouquet.

In the process of becoming a p°e ' flumly was influenced by poets, Rober Lowell and Robert Penn Warren. Lowell wrote about his own life in a manner tne young writer could relate to, and Warren pok, Promises, had a strong impact o dim- Among writers he most admires are ,Jtnlan> Chekov and Keats. .

Plumly has his way, he will (> membered as these writers are. “I hope, he said, “that I have written a few good Poems that people will read after I m gone. ’

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 3: DREAM WARRIORS. Freddie Kruger, the boogy man incarnate, refuses to die as long as there’s box-office potential in his bloody rampages. Rated R.

Filins without stars have not yet been reviewed.

NOW SHOWING THE ALLNIGHTER. Susanns Hoffs from the pop group The Bangles stars in this comedy about three co-eds who throw a party on the eve of their college graduation. Rated PG-13.

AMERICAN NINJA II. Yes, you read correctly. They made another one. Rated R. AN AMERICAN TAIL ★ ★ 1/2. The first animated film to be presented by Steven Speilberg unfortunately recasts the American immigrant experience into homogenized terms that only small children are likely to enjoy. The trials of the Mousekewitz clan, reportedly modeled after Speilberg’s own forbears, are recounted in a classic animation style that shows director Don Bluth’s debt to his former boss, Walt Disney.

But, with the exception of the delightful “There Are No Cats In America,” the original songs are negligible, and the action often moves along too fasst for its own good. Guest voices include those of Dom DeLuise as a friendly tabby, Madeline f Kahn as a dowager rodent, and Christopher I lummer, whose French pigeon does a credible \ .npersonation of Maurice Chevalier. It’s a well crafted piece of animation, but lacks the neces­ sary spark of originality. Rated G.

ANGEL HART ★ ★. Speedy private eye Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) is hired by a mysterious client (Robert De Niro) to find a missing crooner named Johnny Favorite and is plunged into a nightmare world of witchcraft, sex, and sudden death. William Hjortsberg’s unusual 1978 novel combined the hardboiled detective story with a supernatural thriller, but the film version, written and directed by Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Fame, Birdy), has excised the book’s humor, mixed tones, and crackerjack pacing. What’s left is a dull “art” movie that’s almost unbearably sluggish and pretentious. Parker has made a number of poor choices in order to show off his flashy technique.

Whereas the novel’s memorable voodoo se­ quence took place in Central Park, the director has moved the action to New Orleans, where the same scene is “colorful” but far less bizarre.

Rourke, as always, exudes a rummage-shop charm as Angel; De Niro, who has all the good lines, merely walks through his role; and Lisa Bonet, from “The Cosby Show,” should stick to TV. Oddly enough, the much publicized erotic sequence is well handled, both visually and thematically. Full of religious symbolism and convoluted plot lines, Angel Hart is hardly run-of-the-mill move fare, but that doesn t mean it’s especially good. Rated R. THE ARISTOCATS. The voices of Maurice Chevalier, Eva Gabor and Phil Harris are i atured in Disney’s re-released animated tale • .im 1970 about some upper-crust felines wn ' »ze kidnapped and abandoned by a nefano butler bent on cheating them of their inhentanc A G-reated must for toddlers and their paren

BUND DATE ***1/2. Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is set up with a sexy blind oat named Nadia (Kim Basinger) in hopes impressing a new business client at an imp formal supper. Nadia shouldn’t drink bu• and the series of disasters that befall P°° as a result shouldn’t happen to anyone. Direcio Blake Edwards is in better form than inThat s Life and A Fine Mess, but this screwball comi y sputters in places due to poor pacing script. Bruce Willis is very likable n his first big-screen role. Kim Basinger doesn, look bad either, but she’s not a good drunk. Ra

In Extreme Prejudice, Cash Bailey (Powers Boothe) and Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte), go separate ways while the film misses the mark a bit.

BURGLAR. In her third screen appearance, Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple, Jumpin' Jack Flash) is cast as a cat burglar who becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Based on the light-hearted crime series by Lawrence Block (with a sex change for its hero, Bernie Rhodenbarr), this action-comedy was written by the team who penned Teen Wolf and Commando and is directed by Hugh Wilson (Police Academy, Rustler's Rhapsody). With Lesley Ann Warren (Choose Me) and Bobcat Goldthwait (One Crazy Summer). Rated R. CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD ★ ★ ★ 1/2. In the screen adaptation of Mark Medoffs Pulitzer Prize play, William Hurt (Kiss of the Spider Woman) and Marlee Matlin are superb as a progressive teacher of the deaf and the proud young woman with whom he falls in love. As Sarah, the 21-year-old Matlin (who looks like a young Debra Winger) reveals and astonishing talent that convinces us of the nobility and eloquance of sign language, while Hurt continues to broaden his emotional range as an actor of masculine sensitivity. The film’s subplots— especially the heroine’s relationship with her estranged mother (Piper Laurie)—are only fit­ fully developed, however, and director Randa Haines gets a bit too arty with her symbolic water imagery. Rated R.

CREEPSHOW II. George Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, ad nauseam) and Steven King team up again to make your nights a little more sleepless. With George Kennedy. Rated R.

CROCODILE DUNDEE ★ ★ ★. Austra­ lian comic actor Paul Hogan has a field day as the resourceful but native title character, a safari guide from the wilds of the outback who becomes the toast of New York society. The screenplay, co-written by Hogan, is undeniably broad and predictable, but the nearly plotless narrative allows its star to shine in a variety of situations calculated to please audiences who just want to have a good time. Rated PG-13.

HEAT. In the first of a trio of new films (Malone and Rent-A-Cop will follow soon), Burt Reynolds plays a Vegas bodyguard who goes up against the Mob. Written by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Marathon Mari) and directed by Dick Richards (Farewell My Lovely), this actioner co-stars Howard Hesseman (‘Head of the Class*), Diana Scarwid (Inside Moves, Psycho III), Peter Mac­ Nichol (Sophie's Choice), and Karen Young (Birdy). Rated R. HOOSIERS ★ ★. Inspirational but unin­ spired, this underdog sports movie (basketball circa 1951) basks too easily in its own cliches, but Gene Hackman and Oscar-nominated Dennis Hopper are pleasant to watch despite their unoriginal roles as, respectively, a coach and a local rumpot on the rebound. The lengthy basketball sequences, dominated by slow motion, fast cuts, and a poundingly anachronistic synthe­ sized score, have more to do with audience manipulation than with the sport that the filmmakers have set out to extol. Rated PG. LETHAL WEAPON * * * 1/2. Mel Gibson is madder than Mad Max as a homicide detective whose unconcealed death wish gets him and his easy-going new partner (Danny Glover) in plenty of hot water. The first half of the film, played mostly for laughs, reveals Gibson’s unexpected flair for manic comedy; the second half is crammed with chases, killings, and some impressive stunt work. The odd-couple teaming of Gibson and Glover generates plenty of audience sympathy, and director Richard Donner (Superman) keeps both the humor and the homicide humming. With Gary Busey (The Buddy Holly Story) as a vicious mercenary and airstream girl-group singer Darlene Love as Glover’s wife. Rated R.

MAKING MR. RIGHT. A new comedy from Susan Seidelman (Desperately Seeking Susan). Starring John Malkovich (Places in the Heart).Rated PG-13.

MALONE. Starring Burt Reynolds. Rated R. MANNEQUIN. Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink) and Kim Cattrall (Porky's, Dirk 182) are the stars of this remake of the tepid 1948 fantasy;comedy One Touch of Venus, in which a department store mannequin mysteri­ ously comes to life. Don’t expect to hear the Kurt Weill-Ogden Nash score from the Broadway version, which was also dropped from the original movie. Estelle Getty (‘Golden Girls*) is featured. Rated PG-13.

MY DEMON LOVER. Scott Valentine stars in this tale of a young man who falls in love, producing devlish results. Rated PG-13.

OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE ★ ★★1/2.

Shelley Long (“Cheers,” The Money Pit) and Bette Midler (Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People) learn the power of sisterhood the hard way in a madcap spy comedy that manages to lampoon the CIA, the KGB and the acting profession. The heroines’ search for the shadowy lover (Peter Coyote) who has deserted them both moves jauntily from Manhattan to the deserts of New Mexico; along the way they outwit the bad guys and discover that their class differences and petty jealousies need not prevent them from becoming friends. Directed by Arthur Hiller (Silver Streak, The In-Laws), Fortune never strays too far from formula, but Long and Midler (aided by George Carlin as an inebriated desert rat) are a continual joy to watch. Rated R. PLATOON ★ ★ ★ ★ 1/2. If further proof is needed that war is hell, here is the most realistic and anguished depiction of the Vietnam conflict yet produced, an unrelievedly grim but author­ itative movie from Oliver Stone, who also wrote and directed the recent political thriller Salvador.

Charlie Sheen (Lucas, The Boys Next Door) stars as a 1967 enlistee who must not only fight the enemy but also take part in an ongoing psy­ chological battle represented by two antagonistic sergeants: the ruthless Barnes (Tom Berenger from The Big Chill) and the enlightened Elias (Willem Dafoe from To Live and Die in L.A.).

Platoon's other characters, well played by at least two dozen actors, collectively incorporate the ambivalent attitudes that epitomize the tragedy of Vietnam, and writer-director Stone (himself a veteran) has managed to capture the madness and despair of the infantrymen who had to wage this horrific, debilitating war. Rated R.

POLICE ACADEMY IV. The fourth install­ ment of the popular Police Academy movies.

Starring Steve Guttenburg (The Bedroom Window) and Bobcat Goldthwait. Rated PG.

PROJECT X * * . Matthew Broderick gets involved with some chimpanzees in a top-secret military experiment. Naturally, he discovers that the brass is up to no-good. Not to worry, however, because Ferris Bueller strikes again.

Unfortunately, the plot strikes out, and the chimps make chumps of everyone.

RADIO DAYS ***. Woody Allen’s diehard fans won’t mind the fact that his evocative paean to the era of old-time radio frequently flirts with incoherence. It’s a mixed bag of bits and pieces, but some of the morsels are tasty indeed. More like a run-through for The Purple Rose of Cairo (similar reality-versusillusion theme, but without the narrative cohe­ sion) than a follow up to his assured Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days features many (perhaps too many) appearances by the Allen stock company, including Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, Tony Roberts, Jeff Daniels, and a radiant Diane Keaton delivering a sultry version of “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To.’’ Rated PG. RAISING ARIZONA ★ ****. From the makers of Blood Simple, a hilarious and original comedy about a childless couple who resort to kidnapping to complete the family unit Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter are wonderful as Hi and Ed, two innocent dreamers who run afoul of the law and into a pair of bungling convicts and a vengeful bounty hunter from hell Rated PG-13.

THE SECRET OF MY SUC­ CESS.* * * * Michael J. Fox is back in top form after the disappointing Teen Wolf and Light of Day. This time he plays a wide-eyed business grad from Kansas come to New York to make his fortune. He makes a whole lot more but only after a hilarious series of musical beds and corporate disguises.

SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL. Producer­ director John Hughes (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club) and Director Howard Deutch scored a hit last year with their first collaboration Pretty in Pink. Their second is another coming-of-age comedy-drama (this time without Molly Ringwald) that stars Eric Stoltz (Mask), Mary Stuart Masterson (At Close Range), Craig Sheffer (Fire with Fire), and Lea Thompson (Back to the Future). Rated PG-13.

STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME * * ★ 1/2. The further adventures of the crew from Starship Enterprise are chronicled in the funniest most easy-going entry in the series.

Earth is being menaced by a space-probe that’s destroying the atmosphere; Admiral Kirk et al. ride at a time-warp back to 1986 to remedy the situation by bringing back a pair of humpedbacked whales. Their often uproarious mission on today’s streets of San Francisco, as well as the film’s craftily conceived ecological message, make this latest Ttekkie outgoing an irresistible delight. Rated PG. THREE FOR THE ROAD. Starring Charlie Sheen (Platoon). Rated PG-13.

TIN MEN.**** Writer-director Barry Levinson returns to Diner territory for a serio­ comic look at aluminum-siding salesmen in Baltimore circa 1963. Richard Dreyfuss plays a snazz huckster on the way up, Danny DeVito a hapless conniver on the way down. Their ongoing fued following a fender-bender esca­ lates to ithe point where Dreyfuss stteals DeVito’s wife (Barbara Herrshey), much to the delight of his increasingly harried nemesis. Despite scant action and some occasionally windy, repetitive dialogue passages, Tin Men is an unusually adroit Hollywood movie that makes no excuses for its morally suspect, terminally adolescent anti-heroes. Dreyfuss is winning in a Duddy Kravitz-style role and DeVito shows for the first time some humanity lurking beneath his crude exterior. As an added bonus, a number of fine character actors (especially comedian Jackie Gayle) bring a hilarious intensity to the gabby lives of the con men they portray, both on and off the job. Rated R.

A comparison of the options.

By Anita McManes It’s difficult to believe that the giants of the electronics industry have become enmeshed in a struggle over camcorder formats after the fiasco of the VHS vs. Beta wars, but that’s all we’re hearing about these days.

This time, as you probably know, Sony and its 8mm format (with Kodak, Canon, Nikon and Olympus in its camp) are challenging the VHS technology that almost all of its major rivals, led by JVC, Toshiba, Panasonic, Hitachi, RCA and Zenith) have chosen to market.

Adding to the confusion, Matsushita, which sells VHS camcorders under its JVC and Panasonic labels, makes 8mm cam­ corders for sale by other companies, as does Hitachi. Sony takes comfort in this, knowing that its rivals have invested mil­ lions in the 8mm technology, and is confident that no matter what is happening now, when the next generation of video equipment is introduced—involving digital audio tape—the other companies will even­ tually support the 8mm market.

In the meantime, although Sony racked up 25 percent of all camcorder sales last year, the popularity of the new VHS-C format, whose cassettes are about the same size as Sony’s 8mm models, has turned the tide. Right now, the sales trend is favoring VHS-C, according to an industry analyst at Dean Witter Reynolds. VHS marketers have capitalized on the powerful selling point that their products are compatible with more than 80 percent of the 30 million VCRs currently in U.S. homes.

Still, the 8mm format has a lot going for it, and since the output of an 8mm camcorder can be plugged right into your TV for immediate viewing, or into a VHS or Beta VCR to make copies, an 8mm camcorder can be just as compatible with a VHS machine as a Beta model. In Japan, which tends to lead the U.S. in electronic trends, full-size VHS camcorders account for 10 percent of sales; 8mm and VHS-C split the rest.

One thing that’s reassuring is that all electronics experts seem to agree that both 8mm and VHS will be around for a long time, which means whatever you buy now may not become obsolete soon. Prices of VHS-C and 8mm camcorders are very competitive, with most purchases approach­ ing $1,000, but there are lower-priced cameras and special buys to be found if you shop.

Let’s compare the options.

VHS •Large cassettes make the cameras larger and heavier—sometimes 12 pounds, including batteries.

•Can record for up to two hours on one cassette.

•Cassettes can be inserted directly into any VHS deck without an adapter.

VHS-C •Small cassettes mean lighter, more compact cameras.

•Cassettes hold only 20 minutes of recording but can be set to record for an hour at a lower speed, with some loss of picture quality.

•Tapes can be played in VHS machines by using an adapter.

8mm •Small cassettes permit very light, com­ pact cameras.

•Tapes record up to two hours.

•Picture quality is slightly superior.

•Tapes can be shown on any TV set by a hookup and can be copied on Beta or VHS cassettes.

Sample Local Outlets

Wolf Camera at Regency Mall is one of many local shops that have equipment set up for an instant demonstrations. A Sony CCD-V8 was selling there for under $1,000.

A Panasonic PV-210 VHS camcorder sell­ ing at $949.95 was being offered in com­ bination with a VCR for a total price of $1,349.95.

McDuff’s at Regency also has a good selection of camcorders and accessories in all formats. Their manager said that in spite of the fact that 8mm camera sales are less than those of VHS equipment, he believes 8mm will eventually capture the market although it may take several years. He noted that the 8mm will be compatible with all the new digital sound technology that’s oh the horizon. He also said that Para­ mount Pictures is preparing a series of 8mm movies, which at some point will make their way into the video marketplace. Top sellers at McDuff’s were a Hitachi camcorder at $995 and a Sharp at $1,200.

Circuit City on Atlantic Boulevard will no longer carry any 8mm camcorders after they sell what they now have on hand, but that could change if the market for them improves. Their salesman said the store still sells a large number of the VHS machines because a lot of people, himself included, don’t mind the heavier cameras and actu­ ally prefer the stability of the shoulder­ mounted models and their longer recording times to the newer, lighter, hand-held VHS-C models. A 1.65-pound JVC VHSC was displayed at $849.97, and there was an array of camcorders from RCA, To­ shiba, Magnavox, and others.

A few tips •The best models are electronic chip, solid state camcorders that use a charged coupling device or other type of electronic image sensor in place of a tube, reducing glare in bright conditions.

•The higher the resolution, the sharper the picture. Some current models have a resolution of over 300.

•A power zoom control is essential for smooth transitions between close-ups and distance shots.

•Autofocus, automatic iris and auto­ matic white balance give the picture the proper balance of light exposure, adjust color tints to the prevailing light conditions and let you focus on an object automat­ ically.

•The viewfinder shows exactly what you’re recording, usually in black and white. To see what you’ve just recorded, the best models allow you to play it back on the viewfinder.

•Battery packs can last 40 minutes to two hours. Most camcorders come with an AC adapter to recharge batteries and some can recharge off your car battery.

•Camcorders contain delicate instrumen­ tation and need protection from knocks and falls. It’s important to have a sturdy, hard case for the equipment, which the dealer will sometimes throw in as part of the package if it’s not already included, especially if you’re ready to buy. The good news is that, with proper care, most models can go for about four years beforejieeding service. *—..

•The sensitivity of the camera should allow you to take pictures indoors, with normal room lighting.

•Under certain conditions, y;u you — may want to use a superdirectional mike auxiliary lighting.

Don’t Wait The Kodak theme, “Remember the times of your life,” could certainly be applied to camcorders. Technology is changing rapidly, and there always is the danger of obsolescence, but the advice from here is: don’t wait. Your family is changing even

Contemporary Home in Deerwood

By Susan Stanton This lovely and spacious brick contemporary home for executive living awaits you in the private, residential community of Deerwood.

After a hard day at the office, the .8 of an acre of private woods in which it was built greets you and the double glass windows spanning the back adds to the California contemporary flavor of this home and gives the dramatic effect of being two stories in both the family room and dining rooms.

The open design makes it ideal for entertaining, and after the guests have gone, the soft embers of a dwindling fire can warm the soul from both the family and dining rooms which are seperated by a floor to ceiling double face fireplace.

The 70 foot cedar deck, which wraps around the back of the house from the master bedroom suite to the morning room, is a perfect place for guests to gather or it can be just the place to relax and listen to the wind rustle through the leaves of your private fOrThp larce master suite is located past two other bedrooms and a bath and overlooks the decking and into the woods.

Dining Out SEA GRILL Good seafood but slow service.

By Rob McKnight The names B. J. and Mike Strickland have been associated with Mayport seafood so long, it was with quite a reputation that the brothers re-entered the restaurant com­ munity in Mayport with the Sea Grill.

This restaurant overlooks the Intra­ coastal waterway at Monty’s Marina and, weather permitting, dining on the screened porch is truly eating on the water. Dec­ orated in a typically nautical manner, diners are even invited to bring their own “people with their fish photos” for display.

Pink cloth napkins on crisp white place­ mats and fresh pink carnations adorn each table and create a clean, cheerful environ­ ment. Unfortunately, the dining room suffers from the common problem of too many tables in too little space, a situation that makes for great eavesdropping but poor dining.

At the front of the dining room is a large exposition kitchen, which is separated from the dining area by iceboxes displaying the available seafood. Chefs in 10-inch pleated hats and white uniforms show their skills and entertain simultaneously. The attentive customer can learn much by simply observ­ ing the activity in the kitchen.

There was no wait for a table the night of our visit and the hostess seated us immediately, but unfortunately this was to be the last service rendered in a timely

manner the entire evening. Twenty minutes after being seated we were greeted by our server, who announced that they had not planned to be this busy, and though we could count only eight occupied tables, this explanation was offered repeatedly through­ out the meal.

The bill of fare at the Sea Grill is augmented by several daily specials listed on a chalkboard, and this evening they included fried calamary in an appetizer portion, fresh Florida stone crab, steak and shrimp skewers, fresh tilefish, flounder and scrod. On the regular menu were raw or steamed oysters and clams, steamed shrimp, conch fritters, gumbo, oyster stew and “old New England clam chowder.”

Several salads are available a la carte, including the “original Minorcan salads,” which use various seafoods as garnishes for green salad and dresses them with an herb dressing. Available for two or more, it is well worth trying.

Entrees are the predictable mix of fried, steamed, grilled and sauteed seafoods.

Additionally, steaks and two shrimp and pasta variations are offered. Four different preparation processes, referred to as “fish styles” are available: Mediterranean, shrimp cream, island mix (avocado, ginger and lime) and blackened. Included with each entree are smoked fish dip, cole slaw and a choice of steamed potatoes, french fries or black beans and rice.

Our meal began with fried calamary, which was slow in finding its way to us but hot and tasty when it arrived. Served with cocktail sauce, the squid was sweet and tender and the light breading was not overwhelming. The cole slaw was crisp and

colorful, but the dresstng was heavy and included too much mayonnaise Unfortunately, we had snffcent >me to thoroughly examine the cole slaw as the last thing our server was to leave for the next 40 minutes. Beverage, glasses were not even refilled, and for this that is a bona fide Cardinal sin.

Entrees arrived at the table one hour and 10 minutes after we were seated and whi e they were tasty, 1 am not sure that it is possible to be good enough to make up io the service. The scrod Bombay was a filet of New England scrod, lightly bre^^’ sauteed and topped with a banana curry mixture that was delicious. The curry was sufficiently subtle and the banana sulticiently sweet, thus the end result was the perfect accent for scrod, a mild white tisn with unusually good texture.

Tilcfish, a member of the grouper family, was ordered “Islander” style by my com­ panion. The fish was steamed and topped with slices of avocado, fresh ginger and orange sections. It was moist and tasty, but the topping, although it sounded intriguing, was bland and did not complement the entree. Both the steamed new potatoes and the black beans and rice were good and the assortment of homemade breads was excel­ lent.

Desserts are limited to homemade keylime pie, bread pudding with rum sauce and pecan pie. The keylime pie was the highlight of the meal. Topped with real whipped cream, the filling was the dingy shade of yellow that indicates that real climes were used, and the resulting sweet-tart taste was memorable.

The Stricklands obviously know good food, and at the Sea Grill they seem to be committed to good value. Dinner for two, including one appetizer, one dessert, tax and tip was $35. The problem with the service was aggravating to be sure, but this

could well have been a temporary situation and it can easily be overcome.

In the meantime, go and enjoy the food and the view, but plan on making an evening of it.

Strickland’s Sea Grill is located on highway AIA at Monty’s Marina. Open 11 a.m.-10p.m„ Sunday-Thursday; 11 a.m.-10:30 p.rn., Friday & Saturday. V/MC/AE. Moderately Expensive. * * > 3 out of 5 stars.

TRAVEL AND READING Roger Nierenberg As told to Susan Stanton

Roger Nierenberg Is music director and conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, and previously he served as music director of the Pro Arte Chorale. Maestro Nierenberg has been guest conductor with the National Symphony Orchestra. Washington, D.C., the New Jersey Symphony and others, and he was the 1978 winner of the Baltimore Symphony Conducting Competition. Although he makes Jacksonville his home and spends the majority of his time here, he also serves as music director of the Stamford (Conn.) Symphony Orchestra. He has appeared frequently at Nev/ York's Lincoln Center conducting symphony orchestra, opera, oratorio and contemporary music.

c

If I had two or three weeks off to do anything I wanted to do, I would travel and read.

My taste in books varies with what happens to be on my mind. I’m reading James Clavell’s Whirlwind now. It’s taken me a long time because I don’t have many hours to devote and it’s a long book. Before that I read The Cosmic Code by Pagels, which is about quantum physics. I usually gravitate to the classics because I want to make the most out of what little time I have to read and I want what I read to be great. Personally, I love to read, but I don’t get much time to do it.

When we travel, my wife, Claire, and I visit her family in France, and there are many, many places I long to visit. I’ve been to the palace in Hungary where Haydn was employed.

That was worthwhile. To me, travel is an experience of foreign language so I go where I know the language and practice it.

I like to go to festivals where interesting pieces are being done or interesting artists are performing. As I work with people, they become colleagues and it’s nice to visit them.

I also enjoy the American Southwest—the openness of the land and the space and light in New Mexico and Arizona. Many places in California are good, as well.

When friends visit we often take them to places such as the art museum, the Cummer Gallery, performing arts events and exhibits such as Ramses. At home, we swim in the pool and sometimes we make music together.

We like to go to fine restaurants. Akaihana is one of our favorites. Because of my schedule we often have to eat after the concerts and there aren’t a lot of places open.

We like the Big Oak Barbeque on Edgewood, too. It’s open 24 hours, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. It is down home; you can’t find a place like that in New York, only in the South.

Another thing we enjoy is games. We play Trivial Pursuit, and I’m not really good at it but it’s a nice way of being together. In France we play a word game called Probe, and we also play Scrabble in French. That’s a lot of fun. It tests your vocabulary in both lan­ guages. We may get the Jacksonville game so when people visit they can become a little better acquainted with what’s here.

We enjoy films. The best one I’ve seen lately was a German film titled Manner, meaning men. We saw that in New York. And I loved Lady and the Tramp. I enjoyed the animation, the voices, the music. Each dog and the two Siamese cats were aptly charac­ terized. They are all so different. It was delightful. On one hand it was a story about dogs and on the other, it was a story about human society and class conflicts.

If we didn’t travel so much we probably would have pets, but with our lifestyle, it’s impossible.

I like a lot of sports. Right now I am caught up in playing basketball with neighbors, but it’s not good for my fingers. Rapidly moving objects on bare hands are forbidden, like playing volleyball. It’s too easy to have accidents with fingers. It’s not worth it. I overdid running—ran more than I should have on a hard surface—but I do love to swim.

I have a well considered routine that I rarely have time to follow.

Nothing makes the time pass faster than being with my year-old son, David. When we go walking through the neighborhood, he pushes his wagon. Claire took him to the zoo on his first birthday. I think it’s wonderful that there’s a zoo in Jacksonville. It adds another dimension to the city.

But I have little leisure time. When I am here I am either studying and preparing for a concert, rehearsing it or performing. There is so much 1 want to accomplish as a musician.

I love my work. I find it very rewarding and fulfilling, but I am not one of those people that everything comes so easily to.

My work is challenging.
