F2 The Beacon Journal Sunday. June 17, 1990 RADIO Glevelanders9 anti-drug simulcast earns award compete, let's go for the big one." The actual impact of the show is difficult to gauge. If you're a hardcore crack addict, are you going to be tuning in the ol' radio between 6 and 9 a.m.? Even if Bob Spf Dyer 1 JP you do, are you going to keep listening? On the other hand, the show did result in 60 calls to Cleveland's Cocaine Hotline, according to Radio for a Drug-Free Cleveland, the coalition behind the broadcast. And, as WMJI's this is definitely last in a series but if you want sports news, you don't want Stan Piatt's show on WNIR (100.7-FM). Last week he unveiled what he called a WNIR "sports exclusive." Piatt crowed that news director Janet DiGiacomo had discovered during a face-to-face encounter with Ozzie Newsome that the Browns' tight end will play one more season.

"You heard it first on WNIR." he gloated. Actually, Beacon Journal readers learned on Feb. 24 that Newsome was reconsidering his announced retirement. And on March 17 nearly two months before Piatt's broadcast BJ reporter Ed Meyer told readers that Newsome would return. You'd almost think that Piatt didn't have a subscription to the Beacon Journal.

But then you realize that can't be the case, because two-thirds of his morning show is lifted directly from its pages. Dob Dyer is the Beacon Journal's radio writer. dio sports shows are spinoffs of another radio sports show? Both Geof Sindelar, host of Sportstalk on WWWE (1100-AM), and Mike Trivi-sonno, "Mr. Know-It-All" on WNCX (98.5-FM), used to be regular callers to Pete Franklin. Greg Brinda may have a lousy signal at WERE (1300-AM), but at least he never never spent his leisure hours waiting to talk to Pete.

It's hard to beat public broadcasting for newscasts these days. But have you noticed that the medium widely proclaimed as a "commercial-free" bastion is allowing those once hardly noticeable sponsorship mentions to expand into mini-commercials? A recent plug for morning news sponsors on Kent's WKSU (89.7-FM), for instance, lasted precisely 27 seconds only three fewer seconds than many paid spots on commercial stations. We hate to belabor the point and The anti-drug simulcast that drew the unprecedented cooperation of 15 Cleveland radio stations on a cloudy January morning did not wipe out the city's drug problem. But it did make for award-winning radio. At least that's the judgment of a prestigious group of radio folks who gathered last week for the International Radio Festival of New York.

The Cleveland program, moderated by John Walsh of TV's America's Most Wanted, was honored with the festival's Gold Medal for Social IssuesCurrent Events. Stations from 25 countries competed in eight categories. The January simulcast was produced by Tom Ciula of WMJI (105.7-FM) and an independent firm headed by former WKYC (Channel 3) executive Greg Steh-lin. Ciula says the group was not exactly overconfident: "Even though we felt the show was top-notch, entering an international award competition was kind of a lark. (But) we decided, if we're going to es the longtime radio trend of "narrow-casting" designing a format that appeals to a relatively narrow target audience.

At WHK an all-business station the target is clear: educated, fast-lane business executives. So guess what feature WHK just added? Astrology. Yes, just what the busy exec wants to hear: advice from "Dr. Zelna," identified by the station as a "noted seer and astrologer." You CEOs will want to be sure to catch her show, Zodiac Quest, each Sunday at 5 p.m. Earth Time.

John Webster John Webster said at the time, perhaps the show nudged a few "borderline" listeners people who were functioning day to day but flirting with a drug or alcohol addiction to take action.

They came with their incense and their instruments, their wild hair and see-through dresses, their miniskirts and nostalgia, draped in old headbands and love beads pulled from the closet. A collective of half a dozen played music, waving incense and roses. They sat down and sang Aquarius.

The pay: $40 for eight hours. More for overtime. Be prepared to work about 12 hours a night, they are warned. Glamorous. scenes at San Francisco's War-field theater to re-create a Doors Fillmore West appearance, and an undisclosed area park for another music fest.

This is the last major shooting of the film, due out at the beginning of 1991. The Bay Area extras are here to remember Morrison, to re-experience the '60s, or to finally be a part of a hippie scene they were too young or too straight to be a part of before. Day after day, by the hundreds, they filed in to Nancy RADIO chant under a tree. A bald man snaps his neck and freezes at the sight of the impromptu naked woman, still dancing to the drums with a rapturous smile on her face. She isn't the only bare-breasted one this day.

The film focuses on the "Lizard King," moody idol and Doors lead singer Jim Morrison, king of orgasmic rock, the Ultimate Barbie Doll, the white James Brown, an exterminating angel, a shaman superstar in tight leather pants. Nineteen years after his mysterious death, the rock legend still draws a good crowd. "I'm still in love with Jim Morrison," says Naomi Vice, local violinist and singer, formerly a Lickette with Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. "He's the sexiest rock 'n' roll singer ever, man. He had it.

He was everything." Morrison (actor Val Kilmer) and his girlfriend, Pamela (Meg Ryan with long, straight strawberry hair), roll in the grass, dance arm in arm and get their hair brushed. The crowd presses in. The crew orders them back to their places. A woman mumbles that she never was given a Keyboardist Ray Manzarek Twin Peaks FBI man Kyle Ma-cLachlan with blond hair) is con-, stantly taking pictures. Frank Whaley is playing guitarist Rob-by Krieger, and Kevin Dillon (Matt's brother) is drummer John Densmore.

This weekend, more than 2,000 of the extras will pack concert San Francisco In a line of snake-dancing hippies, a barefoot woman raises her arms and slowly sheds her long dress and is skipping naked, save the pink flowers in her hair. "Oh man, Summer of Love," says one man. Five hundred blissed-out flower children are having a human be-in. They play flutes, flutter in a circle, pound congas, blow bubbles and wave anti-war banners. A guy with star-studded pants carries a peace-symbol flag.

Demonstrators with blood on their hands yell, "LB LB How many kids have you killed today?" The warm air in Golden Gate Park smells bittersweet, of patchouli and pot It is 1967. The Tuesday afternoon flashback was the first day of a week of filming in the San Francisco Bay Area for Oliver Stone's upcoming movie. The Doors. "You, with the hair," a director yells through the crowd at a bare-chested guy with a curly do down his back. "Be on LSD." The scene in the park is so crowded in places with psychedelic tie-dyes and crushed velvet and patched jeans that a cameraman following a trail of dancing hippies trips over a seated white-haired woman playing an innocent bystander and falls backward into her lap.

It looks like he might squash her.
