A-10 Wednesday, Aug. 26, 1992 Santa Cruz Sentinel No more acting for Jane, only Ted and videos now JANE FONDA said Tuesday she has quit her acting career to devote more time to her fitness business and savor life with husband Ted Turner. I I "Yes, I'm in love. I'm in a life that is fun," Fonda said in a telephone interview from Boulder, Colo. "I won't be in movies anymore.

But it turns out that everyone knows "The Philmeister." And everyone wants one of the Philmeister's campaign signs. At least everyone who has seen the "Saturday Night Live" television skit in which Rob Schneider, playing Randy the dweeb, adds a meister or an o-rama or some other twist to everyone's name.

Grabbing "Elect Phil Meister" campaign signs as souvenirs has also become a natural thing to do; about 30 have disappeared. At first the Democratic party primary candidate thought some political skulduggery might be at work. But then the police caught a teen-ager taking a sign who explained the legend of the Philmeister. Meister, who didn't press charges, is hoping the attention will boost his campaign. The Associated Press A December, 1 991 photo of activist Rosebud Abigail Denovo.

Short sample of Berkeley protest r- i VJUUgU III 1UOO. jane ronaa Fondai 54 said Hollywood has changed, and she doesn't miss it. Branded the quintessential 1960s sex kitten after her movie "Barbarella," she now finds fault with sex and violence in movies. 'Barbarella' now seems modest," she said. Politically, Fonda says she's still active, although not as publicly as before she married Turner.

"I'm still there, I'm just not out," she said. "I host receptions, that sort of thing." Thousands pay to hear 'Diana' THOUSANDS OF people paid up to $22 Tuesday to be titillated telephonically by a recording of an unidentified man's conversation with a woman who may or may not be Princess Diana. Transcripts of the tape that have appeared in tabloid newspapers since Sunday identify the woman only as "Squidgy," a pet name used by the man. But several bits of the conversation hint it might be Diana: The woman talks to a child named Harry, and she talks about Fergie the Duchess of York and the royal residence at Sandringham. And about her unhappy marriage.

The Sun, charging 95 cents a minute, reported more than 20,000 calls by late afternoon. Intruder Continued from Page Al Denovo, 19, was awaiting trial next month on charges stemming from the discovery of homemade explosives, a list of university employees and a marked map of the campus at her hillside campsite. Her diary made dark references to harming the chancellor. According to university officials, Denovo used a propane blow torch to break into the basement window in the chancellor's home and triggered a silent alarm at 5:51 a.m. Within minutes, university police dispatched officers and phoned the sleeping Tiens to warn them to lock their bedroom door.

Once at the home on the north side of campus, police from the university and neighboring Berkeley and Oakland spotted the intruder through a rear window and confronted her, telling her to drop the knife. She refused and fled. Police ushered the chancellor and his wife from their second-floor bedroom, then began searching for the intruder with police dogs. Chew, 26, and his dog found Denovo in the second-floor bathroom on the side of the house opposite from the chancellor's bedroom. Denovo yanked the door open to the bathroom and came at Chew with the machete, police said.

The officer shot three times in self defense, university Police Chief Victoria Harrison said in a news release. Chew, a Berkeley officer for three years before joining the Oakland police in November 1991, recently returned to work after being shot five times last year by a 15-year-old robbery suspect. According to an Alameda County probation officer's report, Denovo was diagnosed with a behavioral disorder when she was 14. A Lexington, native, she became involved in leftist politics and changed her name to Rosebud Abi-gal Denovo so her initials would spell "Rad," according to the report. During the past two years Denovo has been arrested or questioned at least a dozen times by university police for prowling and weapons charges, said university spokeswoman Gretchen Kell.

She had been free on bail pending a September 14 trial in Alameda County Superior Court on charges of possessing explosives after her arrest Aug. 8, 1991, at a homeless camp.

Other hurricane damage and casualties along the Gulf Coast couldn't be determined immediately. Earlier, hurricane-force winds over 74 mph prevented sheriffs deputies from responding to rescue calls from a stranded 60-foot boat and stalled cars in Terrebonne Parish south of New Orleans, even though the storm's eye was still about 40 miles offshore, civil defense coordinator Morris Duplantis said. Lockport, east of Terrebonne Parish, lost power at 7:15 p.m. amid reports of 100 mph wind gusts.

"We've got trees in the road and power outages all over the place. We've got 2,700 people in shelters and more out looking for shelters," Lafourche Parish sheriffs Maj. Sonny Hanson said. Flooding was feared as the storm moved parallel to the coast, pum-meling a wide swath with heavy rain. The storm's forward motion also slowed to 13 mph from 16 mph earlier in the day.

Gov. Edwin Edwards declared a state of emergency for all of Louisiana and wrote to the White House requesting a disaster declaration before the hurricane hit. More than 2 million people in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas were asked or told to leave their coastal homes. Earlier, traffic heading north from the Cajun coastland was bumper to bumper for as far as the people were left homeless. If her figures are borne out, Andrew will have been responsible for more than double the destruction of Hurricane Hugo, which had been the costliest hurricane in this country.

Authorities reported 14 deaths in Florida, and officials said they thought the toll could rise. Metro-Dade police director Fred Taylor said police were going house-to-house in search of people reported missing. There also were three confirmed deaths in the Bahamas, where Andrew passed through Sunday. Dade County, which includes Miami, was under a dusk-to-dawn curfew, and about 2,200 National Guardsmen took up positions to stop scattered looting. More than 200 people had been arrested for looting and curfew violations by late Tuesday.

President Bush toured damaged areas in a police Jeep on Monday and pledged $50 million in federal disaster aid. Sandbag walls were erected around the South Central Bell telephone building in New Orleans and French Quarter bars boarded up. Floodgates were closed in the complicated system of levees that protect the city, and the Orleans Levee District said it had run out of sandbags for the public. Airlines canceled all flights into and out of New Orleans' airport, although officials said it would remain open as long as possible. "We feel much better today than we did last night," said Mayor Sidney Barthelemy.

"We're still going to get a lot of rain. We're still going to get high water and we're still going to get a lot of wind. We're not out of the woods." eye could see on U.S. 90 more than 3 'A miles at one bend. Traffic was also tied up on Interstate 49.

The evacuation orders carried added weight because most people had seen pictures of the destruction in Florida, where parts of southern Dade County, below Miami, were left in ruins. "We saw the destruction in Miami, and while we love our home, safe is more important," Marti Long, of the New Orleans suburb of Kenner, said as her husband, Bart, walked their dogs outside a Waffle House in Hattiesburg, Miss. A Coast Guard helicopter rescued four people and two dogs from a disabled 65-foot fishing boat in rough seas 50 miles south of Houma. Sheriffs imposed 6 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfews along the coast, and banned alcohol sales.

At 8 p.m., the eye of the storm was skirting the Louisiana coast, about 85 miles southwest of New Orleans, heading northwest at 13 mph. A storm surge of 10 to 15 feet of water was possible near the eye, and hurricane-force winds extended 70 miles. Up to 10 inches of rain could hit some places. On Monday, the storm, packing sustained winds of 140 mph and gusts over 160 mph, hit the southern tip of Florida, tearing up trees, peeling away roofs, flattening walls and leaving behind a tangled mess of mangled debris. Homestead Air Force base was among the most badly damaged places military officials said it was nearly a total loss.

Dade County emergency management director Kate Hale said her preliminary estimate of damage in south Florida was $15 billion to $20 billion, and at least 50,000 were battling the Fountain Fire. The five-day-old blaze, now 50 percent contained, has burned 64,000 acres and razed 307 homes. Despite financial difficulties, firefighters have come up with enough extra money at fire camp to make one particular T-shirt the hottest selling item around. Shasta Silly Shirt store owner Charlotte Ruskowitz said she has sold about 75 T-shirts, at $10 apiece, which say, "All This For An IOU?" The idea came from one of her employees, she said. "Some of the firefighters have asked us if we would take an IOU for the T-shirt.

They were joking, I guess. We haven't," Ruskowitz said. Gail Schomus, 39, of Hat Creek, bought the last nine of the T-shirts in stock Tuesday for the Hat Creek Volunteer Fire Department, which is indirectly affected by the budget crisis. "We like the T-shirts," she said. "They reflect the mood out there now." Continued from Page Al State firefighters were paid in registered warrants, or IOUs, last month and politicians are still deadlocked over the state's multi-billion-dollar budget crisis.

State firefighters expect to get their next monthly IOU check in a few days. This time, however, fewer banks are cashing them. "I live month to month anyway, so this is tough," said California Conservation Corps worker Kari Cashen. "I'm getting by because of lenient landlords. In fact, it's kind of a financial break being out here.

At least they're feeding me." Even worse, several firefighters said, the budget crisis and government cutbacks have hurt firefight-ing efforts. There are significantly fewer engines, hand crews and air tankers available to battle blazes, they said. "A month ago, I was pretty cynical, bitter and critical. A lot of us had letters written to newspapers and politicians. A lot of the letters got thrown away because writing them, we vented our feelings," said CDF Capt.

Mark Launier. The inmate firefighter camp where Launier worked near Fol-som was one of several closed statewide this year, forcing him to revert to a job that meant a 15 percent pay cut. Earlier this month, Webster said, a strike team of five CDF fire engines from Southern California pulled off the freeway for gasoline as they headed north to join the battle against a Mariposa County blaze. The service station owner in the southern San Joaquin Valley refused them gas, saying he did not want to be paid by IOU. Although CDF stations in some parts of the state are having difficulty buying groceries, the fire camp in Anderson has enjoyed a steady flow of supplies.

At base camp, firefighters sleep, eat, shower, phone loved ones and board their fire engines to go back out on another 24-hour shift.
