incident in which a crew of six
loggers come u|x>n n UFO that
kidnaps one of tho loggers.
"I gi;t five days on chateau
-UFO.' said I) B Sweenoy, who
plays tho part of Travis Walton,
tho man who is takon by tho
UFO and lator writers a book re
counting his experience.
But during those five days,
the residents of the overwhelm
ingly Mormon town of Snow
flake, Arl/.. begin to wonder
where Walton has gone, sus
pecting the loggers in Walton's
disappearance and doubting
their tale of a flying suucer.
The man at the brunt of
many of tho suspicions is Mike
Rogers, the crow leader as
played by Robert Patrick of
Tfnnlnulor 2: /wlgmont Day.
"Everybody dumps on my
character," said Patrick, with a
wide smile through the long
hair and dark-tanned face re
quired for his char.it ter
One of the chief "dumpers"
is James Garner, who plays the
town sheriff — also the most
doubtful person in town of the
story.
While filming in Oukland,
Garner and Patrick wore
mobbed by hundreds of ador
ing fans, und they reportedly
signed every autograph that
was requested.
"•(Garner) signed so many
autographs that he got tendin

Garrison, the film's publicist

Actors say Measure 9
would end Oregon films
By Jake Berg
Emerald News Editor
SUTHLRLIN Ask the cast
members of Fire in the Sky
whot they think of Oregon, and
they'll answer you with how
beautiful the scenery is and
how friendly the residents of
this area arc
Let them elaborate, and the
talk will turn ugly when it gets
to the subject of politics — par
ticularly Ballot Measure 9, the
statewide anti-gay-rights Initia
tive,
"The Hollywood community
won't stand for It," actor D ll
Sweeney said of the meusure if
passed. "They'll never make
another movie here."
"I think we speak for the ma
jority of the crew when we say
that, too,” said actor Peter Berg
The general consensus on the
set is that the entertainment in
dustry in the United States —
and especially Hollywood — is
very open to all different kinds
of people, regardless of race or
sexual orientation.
Larry Garrison, the movie’s
publicist, said Oregon is fast
becoming a "hot" place to film
motion pictures, and the only
thing that may keep the state
from growing in this industry is
the measure.
