Page 2A Sunday, July 10. 1994 The Daily Sentinel 1 amos in the news Disgruntled Havens sues maker of Woodstock NEW YORK Richie Havens says Time-Warner doesnt have the freedom to make millions from his appearance in the movie "Woodstock. He filed a $50 million lawsuit in federal court, claiming the media giant violated copyright and civil rights laws by not getting his permission, the New York Post reported Saturday. Havens opened the legendary music festival in 1969 with his guitar-strumming hit Freedom. The movie and soundtrack of the concert went on to reap millions for Time-Warner.

Jay Gerber, a lawyer for Time-Warner, disputed the claims, saying the company has a contract signed by Havens. Mr. Havens has been getting royalty checks for more than 24 years, he told the Post. Havens lawyer, Jacques Catafa-go, said the contract isnt valid. Stray dog finds fame In hands of McClanahan ST.

LOUIS An abandoned 35-pound setter-chow mix got instant fame when it ran into actress and animal lover Rue McClanahan. McClanahan and the cast of Annie found the frightened stray during a rehearsal Thursday at the Muny Opera, an outdoor theater in a park. McClanahan is playing Miss Hannigan, the orphanage administrator, in the musical that runs July 18-24. McClanahan, who played Blanche Deveroe in the TV sitcom Golden Girls, waved at cars to slow down as she helped get the dog across a street Several people asked about adopting the dog after its picture was published Friday, but so far no match has been made, said Elizabeth Estes at the Animal Protective Association of Missouri. Gospel singer inspired by trip to Ethiopia NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Gospel music star Sandi Patti says she realized the the horror of world hunger when she held a 3-year-old malnourished Ethiopian girl in her arms. I Patti, who has won more than 30 gospel music awards, spent five days in Ethiopia last month as celebrity spokeswoman for World Vision, an international Christian relief agency. That child felt like it would break if I squeezed it, Patti said. It was literally a skeleton with a thin layer of skin. It was so weak it couldnt even cry.

They told me her weight in kilograms. I thought, Thats less than my kids weighed when they were bora. I came away saying weve got to do something. Its urgent. Patti, the Gospel Music Associations female vocalist of the year from 1982 to 1992, sang How Great Thou Art for last month for an Ethiopian congregation at a Sunday worship service.

1 Kesey flees Boulder after play brouhaha BOULDER Kea Kesey angrily headed back to Oregon a day early after at least 50 people walked out on his play Twister A Ritual Reality. Kesey, the counterculture icon who wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and several other novels, brought his two-hour interactive play to the Naropa Institute last Monday night. The play, a loosely adapted Wizard of Oz for the 1990s, personally offended at least 50 students of the Naropa Institute, which brought Kesey to Boulder as part of its 20th birthday celebration this week, Naropa writing school director Ann Waldman said. During a Thursday news interview on the steps of Naropas Allen Ginsberg Library, Waldman told Kesey that students and oth-I ers had complained they found the performance racist and homophobic. Others complained it was sexist.

Several Naropa trustees and the school president walked out, she said. Kesey said the people of Boulder are hooked on political correctness. Theyre fools, he said. We dont have to take this. Kesey, 58, said the play was meant to bring people together, not pit them against one another.

The message in Twister is that people are blaming each other at a tremendous rate, trying to find a fault in the other person. And there are really some things that are happening that arent our fault (like tornadoes and AIDS), and it really draws us together, Kesey said. He said the piece had required as much work as a novel to create. And the students rejection hurt. It hurts just as much, no matter how big you are, he said.

This was important to me. It cost me 15 grand to come here and do this, moving all these people here. Next time, he said, Ill think twice about it. Kesey said he and the cast had performed the show 10 times on the West Coast. Why here? Why not any of the other places with sold-out crowds and huge accolades afterward? I have to compare it with other audiences.

And either those audiences are dumber than these people, or they are smarter. Of Boulder, he said, Well, you know, this has always been a fomenting pest hole of rumor and backbiting in its way. 450 youngsters spend week as Marines Ii have always wanted to be a Marine Ever since I was little, I have always had that dream Heather Heuer, 1 17-year-old Young Marine CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. They have the rest of their vacations to relax and work on their tans. But for one grueling week in July, 450 youngsters from as far away as Washington, D.C., have abandoned summers traditional pursuits to find out how they might like life as U.S.

Marines. From the moment they awake at 5:15 a.m. until lights out at 10 p.m., these few, proud youngsters, ages 8 to 18, will spend their time on training runs, crawling under barbed wire and learning how to capture a city without injuring civilians. Dressed in camouflage hats, jeans and a variety of colored T-shirts denoting their units, they even act the part of Marines standing at attention when spoken to, saluting officers and following orders throughout the weeklong Young Marines National Encampment, which began Tuesday. I have always wanted to be a Marine, I like it because it teaches me a lot of different things and most of all it challenges me, the 13-year-old said.

During their week at the Marine base, the youngsters take turns learning to rappel off a 60-foot tower, running the standard obstacle and assault courses and watching combat demonstrations. The camp is the closest that 16-year-old Luel Bucago the highest-ranking Young Marines officer in the United States will come to living the life of a Marine. Although his dream was to follow his father into the Luel has severe asthma and was recently told he could not join. But Luel said that hasnt stopped him from remaining in the Young Marines. Im just doing my hardest to show kids that their dreams can come true even though mine didnt.

i i i i i i i I 1 I i 3 I I I next year. That is my plan, she said. Like I said, every kid has their dream and this is mine. I guess I like it fast-paced. It just gets in your blood.

Not all the kids participating in the program see their futures in the Marine Corps. Some view the camp as an opportunity to have fun and meet other kids. Osei Kirby of Los Angeles said he became involved in the program after his two cousins joined, though he doesnt see himself as a future Marine. Garden Grove, resident Heather Heuer said as she listened to shots being fired from a hill above her, where real Marines were taking infantry training. Ever since I was little, I have always had that dream.

Heuer, 17, who has been a member of a Southern California branch of Young Marines since the seventh grade, was promoted to first sergeant at the start of the encampment, becoming the first female in California to hold that rank. She plans to enlist in the Corps after she graduates from Marina High School in Huntington Beach eather ttlATlONABRAteath I Forecast for 10 a.m. today Qe 10s 20s 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s 80S 90S 100s 110s Bands separate high temperature zones for the day Phoenix Pittsburgh Pocatello Portland, Maine Portland, Ore.
