Margaret Szlachta Secretary of McHenry ounty Fair Association (Published in the Northwest Herald on March 25, 26. 27. 28. 29. 1991) L7640 By DONALD SMITH National Geographic IQUITOS, Peru With a final dizzying twist, our dugout canoe squirted through the rapids and into a quiet lagoon.

Safe at last, I thought. We were on the Yarapa River, a meandering tributary of the Amazon, on the first leg of an expedition into the deep jungle. I sagged back in my seat, sweaty and exhausted. One hand flopped over the gunwale and trailed in the tea-colored water. "I wouldn't do that," said the guide, Ricardo Ruiz.

He held up his own left thumb, a nasty slice near its tip. "Piranha," he said. Piranha. The Guarani Indian word for the fierce little fish that inhabits much of South America has become an English synonym for ferocity and greed. It is the fish with an attitude.

While not entirely dispelling this image, recent research has shown piranhas may not be as bloodthirsty as people think. Some piranhas even become vegetarians at certain times of the year. Stories of piranha violence have thrilled and horrified people beyond sity of Florida zoologist Leo G. Nico, referring to lurid accounts he has heard of piranha attacks. "They have the potential to do that, with their teeth and strong jaws." But Nico and other scientists who study piranhas say the fish's ugly reputation is largely undeserved.

"I don't disregard occasional stories of attack," says Nico. "But I think they ate really rare. I compare piranhas with dogs. They have the potential to do a lot of damage, but in most cases they never do." Unlike dogs, however, piranhas have been little studied and are poorly understood. Even the number of piranha species is disputed.

Antonio Machado-Allis'on of the University of Venezuela and William Fink of the University of Michigan have counted some 30 species and are finding still more. Dietary habits of piranhas vary tremendously. Species with longer, more streamlined bodies and pointed snouts are satisfied just to nip at fins and scales of other fish. But the blunt- headed varieties with bulldog jaws and red bellies dine on whole fish, some at a single gulp. heavy boots prevented him from climbing back in.

After much screaming, the man became quiet. When rescuers finally reached him and pried his hands from the gunwale, they found his entire lower torso had been stripped tOthe bone. They theorized piranhas had been attracted by his red trousers. "Any of it is possible," says Univer South America since the 16th century, when the first Spanish explorers began sending back reports of strange wildlife. The piranhas reputed attraction to blood lends a gruesome quality to many accounts.

Famed British army surveyor Percy Fawcett tells of a Bolivian soldier who fell from his patrol boat into a piranha-infested pool and found that his Confederates battle within their ranks Movie newsletter aims to warn parents IN OA vsui VrViiiiuiiaaiJUUl Hollywood, about violence in movies, these are our personal 6 I National Geographic Society John Edward Hurley, president of the Confederate Memorial Association, hoists a battle flag in front of the Confederate Embassy in Washington. By MICHAEL WARREN 1 The Associated Press BOCA RATON, Fla. Martin Scorsese's "GoodFellas" is a critical hit, with Oscar nominations for best picture and best director. But did you know 282 expletives are spoken in the film? Or that the movie about a New York Mafia family depicts 14 bloody death scenes, including shootings, stabbings and the digging up of a corpse? "Some people say it doesn't matter how many swear words there are in a movie, but other people are offended," said Robert F. Lake a father of two who would like to know such details before he buys a ticket; Lake, 38, and two friends have launched a newsletter, the Entertainment Research Report, aimed mostly at concerned parents and people who might think today's movies go too far with language and sexK The newsletter promises to tell moviegoers what to expect in the way of profanity, violence, sex and ethical conduct.

Lake said he got the idea when he took his wife to see "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" several years ago on the advice of friends and glowing reviews. "They all said the movie was funny and great," said Lake. "But there were just a few words said by young people in the movie that I didn't care to hear in the company of my wife. There should have been a way to know about that beforehand." By DONALD SMITH National Geographic WASHINGTON It's not what people expect to see in the middle of a majority-black city whose forces conquered the South 125 years ago. But there it is, flapping languidly in the breeze over the doorway of a stately brownstone mansion just eight-blocks from the White House: the national flag of the Confederate States of America.

"The other side is under the impression that it won the war," says John Edward Hurley of the Confederate Embassy. "We Southerners take a longer view of things." Hurley is president of the Confederate Memorial Association, which owns the embassy, more properly called the Confederate Memorial Hall. He is a portly man in his 50s whose family roots are in southern Virginia. His progenitors include a cavalry officer who fought for the South in the Civil War. Lately, Hurley has found himself involved in another civil war, this one among fellow Southerners: The outcome will determine who will control this shrine to Southern culture.

The fight is taking place mostly in the Yankee legal system, where a withering cross fire of lawsuits has been exchanged. But there have been physical skirmishes as well, including one battle inside the memorial hall in which, the recording secretary reported, the shirt of one of Hurley's rivals was torn from his body and the fracas "nearly led to bloodshed." For his part, Hurley complains that he has been the target both of a vicious legal assault financed by shadowy right-wing political zealots, and of a campaign of dirty tricks and anonymous threats, made by telephone or "I'm relatively conservative myself. But their conservatism is off the chart as far as I'm concerned. They call my wife and threaten her or threaten me and put notes on my door. That's Ku Klux Klan stuff.

They've done -everything but burn a cross on our front yard." John Edward Hurley Confederate Memorial Association nailed in the dead of night to the door of the hall. But, unlike Lee at Appomattox, Hurley vows to fight on. "I'm a small potato, but I'm hard to peel," Hurley tells National Geographic. "Nobody's pushing me off the sidewalk." He says his opponents want to -use the hall as a base for far-right political activities, such as a "Freedom Fighters Night" in honor of Nicaraguan contras. "I'm relatively conservative myself," says Hurley.

"But their conservatism is off the chart as far as I'm concerned. They call my wife and threaten her or threaten me and put notes on my door. That's Ku Klux Klan stuff. They've done everything but burn a cross on our front yard." His chief protagonist is Richard T. Hines, a former U.S.

General Services Administration official and a former commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans chapter in Washington. Hines filed suit in 1987 seeking to dismiss Hurley and the association's vice president, Mrs. John Tilden Rogers, whose grandfather fought in the battle of the Wilderness. Hurley and Mrs. Rogers re- opinions, and we want to make sure they don't cloud our publication.

We're saying 'you make your own Robert F. Lake Jr. Entertainment Research Report "It's a raw, factual content report. You make the judgment," said Rod Davies, president of the parent Entertainment Research Group which eventually hopes to analyze videos, recordings and television as well. "You know your kids.

We feel parents should be able to make informed decisions on their own." Davies points to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II" item in the March 29 issue. It found no potentially objectionable language or adult situations, but noted there is one "implied death (not graphic)" and one scene of "intense fright-anticipation: human hand shown reaching out of garbage heap." "I love it," said subscriber Ann Romney of Belmont, who has five boys. "It's just wonderful to be able to know before I take them to the movie what they're going to hear and see." Film critic Roger Ebert, in Hollywood for Monday's Oscar presentations, predicted Sunday the movie industry would react with indifference, if at all, to Entertainment Research Report. "Basically, Hollywood is giving people exactly what they want. They've been doing it for 75 years and they're extremely good at it," said Ebert, aging Confederate veterans.

In 1919, with the veterans' population thinning out, the building began its present incarnation as a convention hall, library and museum. During the 1960s and 70s, the building and the association fell on hard times. Membership declined, and the hall became a refuge for vagrants. Hurley, whose father was a member, stepped in and helped refurbish the building, partly with his own money. Hurley has several things to say to those who can hardly believe their eyes when they see the Confederate flag flying over a building near downtown Washington, whose population is 70 percent black.

As many as 50 of the associa-' tion's members are black, he estimates. The memorial hall, he says, is a reminder of Washington's Southern roots. Under a compromise worked out to allay Southern fears of Northern domination, the U.S. capital was placed between two states, Virginia and Maryland, whose economies relied heavily on plantations. sponded by suing Hines and six others, claiming they were victims of a legal coup.

Hines and his followers countered with a $250,000 suit against Hurley and Mrs. Rogers. Last August, Hurley filed a $5 million suit under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, charging Hines and others with perjury, mail fraud and money-laundering, among other misdeeds. Hines and his supporters complain that Hurley doesn't consult them sufficiently about his administration of the hall, and that he has operated the building for personal Hurley denies those charges. Hines, a former South Carolina state legislator who worked in the 1988 Republican presidential campaign of the Rev.

Pat Robertson, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, James P. Gittens, declined to be interviewed, saying he did not want to prejudice the legal case. The story of the Confederate Memorial Hall goes back to 1907, when the 25-room Victorian house was bought by the Confederate Memorial Association, "a group of Southern ladies and gen-tlemen," for use as a home for Unlike 'the Catholic News Service, which reviews movies based on ethical and religious standards, and the conservative American Family Association, which has pressured theaters to remove films it considers morally offensive, the Entertainment Research Report takes no stands on whether movies are worth watching..
