Life forced the Worthington, Minn. boy to take the role that will bring him to the Oscar ceremony. But the Hollywood actors' and actresses' performances pale next to Jason's life.

JaSOn BHMBMiMH battled cancer and Ull TV won. Wish- a Academy Awards, 9 p.m. other0 ffi Wednesday, ABC (WSYX) dren hope, he wrote about his experience in My Book for Kids with Cansur. Hollywood producers heard about the book and turned it into a half-hour special for Home Box Office. The special, "You Don't Have to Die," is nominated for an award in the documentary-short subject category.

The book and movie that document Jason's life have a happy ending. But the terrifying beginning on June 28, 1984, changed the Gaes family forever. One of Jason's uncles noticed a tumor in the young boy's mouth. Within the next 36 hours, doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, would remove five tumors from Jason's 7-year-old body. He was diagnosed as having burkitts lymphoma, a cancer caused by exposure to a common virus.

The prognosis was chilling. Jason says that at that time he didn't know very much about cancer. "I knew that you could die and I knew that they could cut your off or your arm. And I knew if they cut your leg off you couldn't go out and play football anymore. And I was pretty scared, but I wasn't really scared of the dying part.

I was scared of the pain I was going to go through." Jason's mother, Geralyn, says his "quiet strength" brought him and his family through the two years of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation that followed the initial diagnosis. Jason asked his mother why the books he read about kids with cancer ended with the child dying. "She just said, 'Jason you're not going to die, you tell "Jason says. With that challenge, Jason went to work. When he handed the yellow-spiral notebook to his mother, she thought it would be just a cutesy children's book.

"I was just dumbfounded. I didn't know that Jason had all these feelings. He had dealt with some pretty complex issues on his 'k Before his book mad6 its debut, Jason put his older brother, Adam, and his twin brother, to work as illustrators. Geralyn Gaes made copies of the book and sent it to friends, doctors and American Cancer Society workers. Soon, the Gaes were hearing from those who wanted to duplicate the book to show to children who were starting cancer treatment.

Stone, the son of West Coast country music legend Cliffie Stone, was a successful songwriter and touring musician. Both he and Moser can be seen backing Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to riotous "Twist and Shout" segment. Drummer Moser has also logged work with Johnny Rivers, Chris Hillman, Jennifer Warnes, Russell Smith and other notables. "People always mention our overnight success," Moser says. "But one of the big things that we always mention is that everybody had been in the business or had been around for quite awhile." drawn to the lead singer; that's just the way the business works.

But Highway 101 is the four of us." The act's new hit single, a country treatment of Dire Straits' "Setting Me Up," features vocals by bassist Curtis Stone. "When this thing was initially put together," he says, "the concept was for us to be a Fleetwood Mac of Nashville." The superstar rock group is noted for having multiple lead vocalists and songwriting contributions from all the members. Moser, Stone and Carlson have all contributed tunes to the band's two top-selling LPs. But it was Carlson's "The Bed You Made for Me" that electrified the country airwaves in 1987, vaulting the act to instant stardom. It was, coincidentally, the song the band played that "clicked" when the four first got together.

"After we did 'The that felt like it, like everybody had the right attitude," recalls Stone. "That was the intensity, the fire we knew we should have, sort of a carefree, wreckless kind of feel." The four didn't know each other well when manager Chuck Morris By ROBERT K. OERMANN Gannett News Service Highway 101 is a band. That might sound like a rather silly statement, especially considering the fact that the act is country's reigning Group of the Year according to both the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music. But ever since Highway 101 's overnight rise to fame less than two years ago, almost all the attention has been focused on its haunting and ethereal lead vocalist Paulette Carlson.

The boys in the band are here to set the record straight. "This is the four of us out there," says lead guitarist Jack Daniels. "All of our song arrangements are a four-way collaboration." "It's a pretty equal scene," adds drummer Scott "Cactus" Moser. "Very few concessions are made just because she's a female and we're male. She's not the front woman.

In fact, a lot of the business decisions, she doesn't even really get involved with. "There's always attention By MARSHALL FINE Gannett News Service Yes, says Shelley Long, it's all true. No, not the tabloid tales about how everyone on "Cheers" hated her guts and was glad to see her leave. No, not the recent National Enquirer cover story about how she's going back to "Cheers" (and Kirstie Alley is That's the annoying part of the show business world that Long has trouble dealing with. What Long is talking about is the frustrating part of the business that she copes with all the time: how hard it is to get a movie made.

"All those stories you hear about it taking years to get a movie made? They're true," says Long, 39, sitting with impeccable posture on a hotel-suite couch. "It's an amazing process: It's not logical and it doesn't make sense. What happens is baffling. I'm learning this after two years of being a really full-time producer. "I don't think I was aware of how bogged down the process can get, with red tape, negotiations, even the problems of people's lives.

I keep thinking, 'Life is too short. Let's just get through with So far, Long has developed and produced material for herself: "Certain realities have leaked in, one of which is that the studios are not ready to let me produce a film I'm not in," she says. "They've just warmed up to me producing things I am in. And I'm not as interested in the business side as the creative side of producing." Her latest movie to actually make it to the screen is "Troop Beverly Hills," which opened Wednesday. In it, Long plays a rich, bored housewife from a certain affluent bedroom community of Los Angeles; she takes over her daughter's scout troop, with relatively predictable results.

It's not a project Long developed through Also "Troop Beverly Hills" is showing at The Movies at Shawnee Square. her Itzbinso Long Inc. production company, but one which she became Involved in as co-producer once she was set to star. "It's a script I had been aware of for a couple of years, but I didn't think I was right for it," she says, smoothing the black pants that go with the black-and-white checked blazer she's wearing. "When I read it, I had a better understanding of why they thought I could do it.

Then we got involved as co-producers and submitted our ideas. We got most of our basio notes completed on how to rework it before the writers' strike happened. It helped that (cast members) Mary Gross, Betty Thomas and I were improvisers. In "Troop Beverly Hills," Long gets to exercise her slapstick muscles in several broad physical gags. Given her patrician bearing and blond good looks, the idea of Long falling face-first in the mud and liking it is an odd one.

"I've always admired physical comedy it's what makes me laugh biggest," Long says. "I'm shocked when people consider it beneath them. That's like people who don't eat sweets." Long began her career as a TV personality in Chicago, after two years at Northwestern University as a theater major. She worked in commercials, wrote and directed industrial and educational films and was the host and producer of a TV magazine show. She joined Second City, the Chicago improvisational troupe, then moved to Hollywood.

There, she landed roles in such films as "A Small Circle of Friends," "Caveman," "Losin' It" and "Night Shift," before finding her true ca- FISH FRY Welnlraub Entertainment Group Shelley Long in a scene from "Troop Beverly Hills." reer launching pad "Cheers," for which she won an Emmy Award. For five years on the hit situation comedy, she was Diane Chambers, the good-naturedly pretentious barmaid who was the lust and love object of bar owner Sam Malone (Ted Danson). 'Cheers' was pretty fantastic because just the process of doing those 121 shows was such a fabulous learning experience," Long says. "We were doing a really full kind of comedy. My favorites were always in that genre.

There were moments when I felt like Lucille Ball." The series also taught her to work quickly "There was never enough rehearsal time" and to rely on a technique called visualization. Long is a true believer in the powers of the mind to visualize how something such as a scene will happen and to make it happen by visualizing it. But she couldn't foresee that the fame she achieved would also include unpleasant aspects like being the focus of rumors and innuendo in the tabloid press. Long, who is married to investment advisor Bruce Tyson and has a 4-year-old daughter, Juliana, still has trouble coping with negative stories. She recalls how upset she was after leaving "Cheers" when various tabloids trumpeted charges contained in a TV Guide article that the rest of the cast found her difficult to work with.

"It literally made me sick. The accusations are so personal, so rude and insensitive. Would a human being treat another human being like that?
