NORTH BROWARD 4A Sun-Sentinel, Monday, September 18. 1989 i HUGO FROM PAGE 1A Puerto Rico braces for Hurricane Hugo; storm kills six so far 4 I 17; "O1 It ill 0m i'l A hurricane warning has been issued for parts of the Dominican Republic. The rest of that country and the southeastern portions of the Bahamas were under a hurricane watch. Hugo plowed into the U.S. Virgin Islands late Sunday and was 130 miles east-southeast of San Juan at 10:30 p.m.

The storm was traveling on a direct path toward the island, with hurricane-force winds being felt 85 miles north of the eye. Hurricane-force winds were gusting to 97 mph at St. Croix and to 90 mph on St. Thomas late Sunday. "Anybody who would go outside right now would be really crazy," Mark Ochs, a reporter in St.

Thomas at the Virgin Islands Daily News, said at 8:30 p.m., before the storm hit "A lot of roofs have been blown off. A lot of power lines are down. A lot of trees are down. It's very dangerous outside. "Everyone has gone to higher ground or else boarded up their windows or gone to shelters," Ochs said.

Tourists packed flights out of San Juan on Sunday, and the Munoz Marin International Airport was closed to all flights at 6 p.m. The Port Authority said all international carriers had removed their planes from Puerto Rico except for one American Airlines A300 left behind for emergencies. The Port Authority also said cruise ships scheduled to arrive in San Juan had been routed to other destinations. Convenience stores were packed as residents stocked up on bottled drinks, food land batteries, continuing a rush for essentials that jamed the island's major supermarkets since early Saturday morning. In a scene played out across the island, mayor of San Juan and Civil Defense officials toured especially vulnerable areas and urged residents to move to storm shelters.

"Some people just don't believe it's coming, and it's hard for people to leave I behind their homes," said San Juan Mayor i Hector Luis Acevedo as he walked the i narrow streets of La Perla, a poor neigh-i borhood that clings to a cliff overlooking i the sea in the historic section of the city. "We're saying go to the shelter," he told an elderly woman, one of several hundred residents of the Old San Juan neighbor-: hood, which borders the coastal San Juan resort area on the west. "We have a very bad storm coming." Down the street, Ramona and Victor Rios agreed to Acevedo's plea that they leave their home and go to a nearbj church from where they would be taken tc i a shelter. They voiced second thoughts after the mayor moved on to the next house. "No, I'm not afraid of the storm," Ramona Rios said.

"I grew up in La Perla and raised my children here." Heriberto Acevedo, director of the island's Civil Defense, said late Sunday afternoon that he did not know how many of Reuters photo Two women who left their homes in a low-lying area wait for room assignments at an evacuation center in San Juan.

"I don't have a husband, and I came down because I was afraid for my children," Sanchez said. She brought Monopoly to play and books for her children to study.

While Hugo's predicted 8- to 10-foot storm surge posed an added danger to coastal areas, Civil Defense officials were concerned about mudslides and flash' floods in mountainous areas. Hugo was expected to dump 5 to 10 inches of rain as it moved over the island on its west-northwest track, Mojica said. Forecasters were not expecting Hugo to gain more muscle in the next 24 hours, primarly because the storm showed little strenghtening on Sunday, he said. Reports from Guadeloupe painted a picture of extensive damage to some areas of the island after Hugo passed about midnight on Saturday, Mojica said. Officials reported the airport in the capital of Pointe-a-Pitre destroyed and 3,000 residents left homeless, he said.

Staff Writer Seth Bortnsteir wntribut-ed to this report, which with information from Sun-Sentinel wire services. Puerto Rico's three million residents had moved to the 2,900 public shelters. "There' are many thousands" in the shelters, he said. "In my opinion the people of Puerto Rico are expecting to be effected. They understand this is a very serious storm." At 9 p.m., 30 people gathered in the gymnasium at the Academia Santa Tere-sita, a church school-turned-shelter in the center of San Juan.

Although there were cots for 50 people, many more were expected. "I expect we'll get maybe 150 by 12 o'clock," said Marie Curet Santiago, who runs the shelter. "We have a direct line to the Civil Defense and supplies: food, water, pillows. I think we could stay here two or three days." Huddled in the shelter with nothing more than "a few cookies to nibble on" was Terri Pirone of Bloomfield, N.J., whose cruise was cut short by Hugo. "It's frightening," Pirone said.

"We called home this morning because we knew they would be concerned. And then we started panicking."

ffvJ- 4 15- Republic Rico Croix I i Guadeloupe Staff graphicBONNIE LALLKY EMMYS WINNERS Glitz doesn't win, says Emmy observer A partial list of winners at Sunday night's 41st Annual Pri-metime Emmy Awards, in the order of presentation. Also included is a complete list technical-categories winners. These awards were presented in non-televised ceremonies Saturday, with multiple awards given in some categories: "No one can figure out what a fashion statement is. This is probably one of the most eclectic masses of yesterday." Mr. Blackwell Sunday night's spectacle, highlighted by a tribute to the late Lucille Ball, marked the end of a three-year contract between the Television Academy and newcomer Fox.

The 1987 show was a ratings disaster. Last year's Nielsens showed improvement but still embarrassed academy officials. "This year should be much better," said John Mof fit, co-executive producer of the Emmycast "Fox has been very strong on Sunday night." Last week's Nielsen ratings showed Fox's Married with Children in the 17th position and Totally Hidden Video in 33rd. Fox, the academy and the producers also sent letters to and called the nominees to try to prevent a repeat of 1988's parade of no-shows. Designated accepter Tony Danza came to the stage so many times he finally exclaimed, "What's the matter with you people? Where are you?" Production designers Moffit and Pat Tourk Lee strove for a new look and a tighter show at the 41st annual Emmys.

Gone were the meaningless production numbers and the endless number of nominee clips. But Moffit admitted that certain elements cannot be regulated, particularly the acceptance speeches. "We urged the nominees to be scintillating and succinct in their acceptances," said the veteran producer-director. "You always hope for that spontaneous reaction, like when Alan Alda won a writing award and did a cartwheel on his way to the stage." There was hope among academy executives that the Emmycast would return to one of the three major networks for a ratings rejuvenation next year when bidding reopens. However, Fox has the right of first refusal before ABC, CBS, NBC and others can enter the bidding process.

Strong counter-programming was the rule of thumb Sunday night on the three major networks. ABC scheduled the Jack Nicholson-Kathleen Turner hit movie Prizzi's Honor. CBS scheduled a preview of its new fall shows and the Steve Martin-Darryl Hannah film comedy Roxanne. NBC struck back with reruns of the Family Ties finale and Bionic Showdown. FROM PAGE 1A Emmy awards bring 'Cheers' to ceremonies a row, and he said, "I'd like to thank everyone I thanked last year." He added the names of his agents, "Because I promised them." "Oh, God, I hope my dress stays up," said Mayron, who thanked her co-workers at thirtysomething for "the best support a girl from Philadelphia could have." The ripsnorting frontier saga Lonesome Dove was expected to win Sunday night's showdown.

The CBS miniseries that starred Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones scored the highest number of nominations in non-technical categories 18, followed by NBC's frequent winner LA. Law with 17, and ABC's miniseries War and Remembrance with 15. Also expected to make a strong showing in the three-hour Fox Broadcasting telecast was ABC's The Wonder Years with 14 nominations, ABC's thirtysomething with 13, and NBC's The Golden Girls and Fox's The Tracey UU-man Show with 10 nominations each. Lonesome Dove was a big winner even before Sunday night's event, taking six Emmys in technical categories in non-televised ceremonies on Saturday night. The miniseries won prizes for costume design, makeup, music composition, sound editing, sound mixing and casting.

Before the success of Lonesome Dove, the Western had been largely moribund for well over a decade on both the big and small screen. This fall will mark the first time in 15 years that two Westerns have been on the network schedule CBS' Paradise, in its second year, and the new show, The Young Riders, on ABC. In 1958-59, by contrast, the top four shows were all Westerns: Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Have Gun, Will Travel and The Rifleman. Thirteen other shows, including thirtysomething and The Tracey VUman Show, won two technical Emmys each. Day, Last Day, ABC.

SINGLE CAMERA PRODUCTION EDITING, SERIES: thirtysomething: First The Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. Television stars who usually shine at night came out for Sunday's annual Emmy Awards extravaganza in their glitziest garb while the sun shone brightly on a California afternoon. "It's too bad," said perpetual fashion gadfly Mr. BlackwelL "If it was nighttime you couldn't see the dresses as well. They would look better." The glamorous women who adorn such TV hits as L.A.

Law, Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote chose either tailored elegance or shimmering sequins in a rerun of Emmys past. Others came in everything from miniskirts to pants, and one couple wore African costumes. The head turner of the outdoor, arrivals was Jean Kasem, wife ol Casey Kasem, whose outfit featured 25 pounds of metal. The creation, which she said was titled Metal Mass, was created for her by Anthony Ferrara. It was topped off with a black helmet with rows of beads falling below her chin.

"At least Jean knows what being a star is all about," said BlackwelL, who turned thumbs down on most of the star dressing. "There's too much cheap glitz," said Richard Blackwell, who compiles an annual worst-dressed list said. "There's nothing new. No one can figure out what a fashion statement is. This is probably one of the most eclectic masses of yesterday." The fans who gathered across the street from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for the ceremonies ap- fsared to share Blackwell's ho-um attitude.

They barely screamed at all when the stars stepped from their limousines. In the middle of the fan gallery, protesters from a religious group carried placards reading, "TV idols and idolaters, repent!" Perhaps the most unique outfit was worn by a costume designer, Paula Glock, who embellished her black minisuit with brass knives, forks and spoons displayed down the front. She called the outfit Dinner For Two. In the crowd of fans, some of the warmest applause was reserved for such youth-oriented shows as The Wonder Years and Growing Pains as well as the stars of Golden Girls, a show aimed at an older audience. The "Golden Girls" Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanahan were tastefully glamorous in a range of sequins and satins.

Angela Lansbury of Murder, She Wrote showed up in a feminine version of a male tuxedo, an outfit dubbed as passe. "I think the pants scene is over," he said. "But I think she looked elegant from the hips up." The standout, according to Blackwell, was Debbie Allen, who wore a dress with billowing black sleeves and a gold sash. Susan Ruttan of LA. Law wore a tight brocade minidress fashioned with a net pouf around the neck.

Asked who designed her dress, she said, "I did!" Said Blackwell: "It looks like it" SOURCE: The Associated Press.
