Relax, take a deep breath.
Visualize a beautiful Dove, flying
above the trees, on a warm
summer's day. The sound of a
waterfall can be heard in the
distance.
This is the experience that can
be aquired by attending one of the
performances by The Erie
Philharmonic Orchestra.
Last Saturday, The Erie
Philharmonic presented "From
Russia with Love." Maestro Peter
Bay led the orchestra through the
all Russian program. The concert
also featured Oleg Volkov on the
piano.

Romeo and Juliet
by Jennifer Reisenweber
Oillegitui Stall
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever been denied the
chance to be with your love because
of your family?
That was the problem for Romeo
Montague and Juliet Capulet in
William Shakespeare's Romeo and
Juliet. Leonardo DeCaprio and
Claire Danes play the forbidden
lovers in the 90's version of
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Their relationship was based on
love, regardless of the
consequences.
The Montagues and the Capulets
have been feuding for several years.
There was so much hate and appall
for each that to satisfy their anger
would mean death of one of the
opposite family members.
Juliet was to marry Paris, the
son of the governor. In the middle
of the engagement celebration, she
meets Romeo.
It was love at first sight.
The million

What would you pay for your
child? Maybe a million or two?
Rene Russo and Mel Gibson
portray excellent roles in the new
Ron Howard film Ransom.
A story about a wealthy airline
owner, Tom (Gibson), finds
himself in a ransom situation
concerning his son.
He had made an illegal payoff
with his airline a couple of years
ago and now someone is making
Tom pay. At first, he is willing to
give the money, and he is even
willing to meet the kidnappers at a
designated spot.
But when he is given misleading
information, he is forced to believe
that even if the criminals do get
their money, Tom and his wife
(Russo) will never see their son
Shawn again.
Tom decides to lo on TV and

Nothing, not even a family
name, could keep them apart. They
would rather die than be separated.
After a few days of knowing each
other, Romeo and Juliet marry,
fufilling a dream of being together
forever.
The next day, Juliet is told that
on Thursday she will marry Paris or
be cast out of the family.
She goes to the priest who gives
her a potion that will make her as
still as death for 24 hours.
Romeo has since been banished
from the city for killing Tiebolt,
Juliet's cousin. Upon hearing that
Juliet is dead, he returns home.
Unable to live without Juliet, he
gets a poison and goes to her burial
chamber. Romeo takes the poison
as Juliet is waking up; he dies in
her arms.
Juliet feels that there is no
reason to live without Romeo and
with that, she takes his gun and
ends her life as well. To get the full
effect, go and see Romeo and Juliet!
It gets an enthusiastic two thumbs

Working with the FBI, his agent
and his wife are not very happy
with the move he just made. The
kidnappers are not going for this,
and they call and threaten that if
they do not get their money, the kid

Tom refuses, so his wife goes
behind his back to meet the head

physical threat to have her husband

Thought I'd play devil's advocate

excellent thriller; an edge of your

Now that I have everyone's
attention again, going to a
performance by The Erie
Philharmonic orchestra can be a
rewarding and worth while
experience. The music is
relaxing, and the concert allows
time to sit back and reflect on
life. It is also the perfect time to
let all the stress and built up
anger from the semester float
away with the music.

Tuning In
by Sally Stone
The Nashville Network (TNN) is
rerunning the "Hee Haw" series that
delighted folks for 25 years from
1969 to 1971 when it ran on CBS,
and from 1971 to 1992 in syndica
tion.
Sam Lovullo, the New York City
born-and-bred producer of this clas
sic country show, is the author of
"Life in the Kornfield -- My 25
Years at Hee Haw," (Boulevard
Books).
"I never thought I'd write a book
about 'Hee Haw'." Sam said. "I'd
been so close for so long to the show
and to the people, I'd almost forgot
ten how special this all was. I needed
to step back, and see that there were
some wonderful stories to be told
about some wonderful human
beings, and interesting facts to share
about a the show. So, I said, 'Okay,
let's do it'."
What Sam and his cowriter, Marc
Eliot, produced was a book filled
with anecdotes about the people of
"Hee Haw," including Roy Clarke,
Buck Owens, Grandpa Jones, the
Kornfield Honeys Linda
Thompson, Misty Rowe, Lisa Todd,
Kathie Lee Johnson, et al and, Of
course, the hound dog, Beauregard,
plus some 50 photos, and a complete
listing of shows, including air dates
and guest stars.
According to Sam's book, Kathie
Lee Johnson went on to star in the
"Hee Haw Honeys" spin-off. After
her divorce, she went to New York
to work on "Good Morning
America."
On Dec. 1, The Discovery Channel
airs "Destination Mars," a special on
traveling to and exploring the planet
out there.
Speaking of "out there," Gerry
from New Jersey writes to ask if it's
true Gillian Anderson of "The X
Files" starred in a lost movie. Ac
cording to my colleague, Frank
Lovece, author of "The X-Files
Declassified" (Citadel), 'tis true, in
deed. Says Lovece, "Gillian Ander
son made her film debut in an
unreleased feature originally titled
'Home Fires Burning,' based on a
play of that name, and retitled 'The
Turning' by the time it played for
potential pick up by distributors. The
low-budget film also starred Te-s
Harper."

LESS: To reassure Nikki she was
right to marry Josh, Victor insisted
he never planned to propose the
night he flew to Kansas. A woman
named Veronica blew out birthday
cake candles in a psychiatric hospi
tal, while Josh was talking about his
dead wife, Veronica, to Nikki. Al
though Diane tried to assure Ashley
it was Jack who was pursuing her,
not the other way around, Ashley
warned her to stay away from her
brother. Hope agreed with Victor
they should delay telling Victor, Jr.
who his real father is. With two
policemen, Chris rescued Benita
from Jake. Wait To See: A stranger
arrives who will have an important

"Village People" are nowhere to be

there is also a wide variety of music
played throughout the night.
So come on, he daring - break
