Details: 438-2787. Pensacola radioman has stint on 'David Letterman' Pensacolian Tom English, who is in New York City blending business with pleasure, had a brush with national television stardom Wednesday when he appeared on NBC's "Late Night With David Letterman." English, national regional sales manager for radio stations WCO A-AM and WJLQ-FM, was in the audience participation segment, "Brush With Academic Hell." He was one of three audience members called upon to tell a tale of college or high school woe. His own tale, which was embellished by the show's writers, concerned getting a threatening professor drunk. David Letterman poked fun at the tall, bearded English for not wearing a tie. English, who is usually impeccably dressed on the job, was casually dressed in a sportshirt.
"Let's take care of the tie thing next time, OK?" the host chided English, tapping the microphone against his chest. "Tom called us Thursday morning to make sure we saw the show," said Lisa Carnley, the radio stations' sales secretary. "He said David Letterman is nice, but best of all he said they are sending him a check for $250 for just reading lines." Pensacolian will be seen, though not heard in movie Washington High School senior 1 Patrick Youngblood, 17, will be seen in the television movie "Promises To Keep," starring "China Beach" star DanaDelany. The film will air on NBC during the 1990-91 season. "I was an extra who didn't have a speaking part, but it was still great fun," says Youngblood, a drama student.
"The movie was filmed in Charleston, S.C., where my aunt and uncle live. My aunt and uncle know the casting director and he gave me the part." 100th birthday celebration a big bash for Molino woman Monday was Ella Tuorila's 100th birthday, but she and her family and friends celebrated throughout Labor Day weekend. Tuorila, who was married to the late George Tuorila, a millwright and farmer from Orange, Texas, lives with her niece Gladys Lee of Molino. "Her son from Texas gave her a party Saturday," Lee says. "Her church, the Calvary Apostolic Tabernacle, gave her a party Sunday, and I had a huge dinner for her on Monday.
She got whirls of birthday presents, including a dozen red roses, a big spray of mums and carnations, candy and fruit bowls."

Compiled by Alice Crann, Mike Suchcicki Some of the more prestigious offerings include: "Akira Kurosawa's Dreams," an interpretation of the great director's dreams with a mostly Japanese cast and Scorsese as Vincent van Gogh. "Desperate Hours," a remake of the Humphrey Bo- gart-Fredric March thriller with Mickey Rourke and Anthony Hopkins directed by Michael Cimino.

"Texasville," Peter Bogdanovich's return to "The Last Picture Show" with most of the original cast. "White Palace," Susan Sarandon and James Spader involved in a mismatched sexual adventure. "State of Grace," Sean Penn returns to his childhood haunts in New York's Hell's Kitchen.
"Miller's Crossing," the offbeat Coen brothers return with a mob-oriented drama starring Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney. Comedies will also play a major role in the fall season. "Alice" is Woody Allen's return to comedy, with a cast including Mia Farrow, William Hurt, Cybill Shepherd and Alec Baldwin. "Sibling Rivalry" stars Kirstie Alley, Bill Pullman and Carrie Fisher in a family comedy. Leonard Nimoy directs Gene Wilder and Christine Lahti in an ironic love story, "Funny About Love."

"White Hunter, Black Heart," Clint Eastwood directs himself in a script based on John Huston's adventures during the filming of "The African Queen." "Pacific Heights," a thriller with Michael Keaton as a presumably friendly neighbor to a couple, Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine. 1 "The Rescuers Down Under," a new Disney animated feature and the first sequel. "Dances With Wolves," Kevin Costner starring and directing an epic of Western America. "Rocky The Final Bell," with Rocky Balboa managing another fighter this time. If the fall season seems a bit serious, that's because the studios trot out the dramas that might get lost in the summer and, not coincidentally, that might contain potentials for Academy Awards.
The warm-weather box office produced some big numbers, with "Die Hard 2," "Total Recall," "Dick Tracy" and "Ghost" passing the $100 million mark. Daily Variety's Art Murphy calculates the 1990 summer is only 6 percent short of last year's sizzler, which amassed a record $719 million. The surprises this year were a pair of romantic i fantasies, "Pretty Woman" ($170 million) and "Ghost" (climbing to $100 million in only five weeks). Hollywood is hoping for more offbeat hits in the fall product, which leans heavily on comedy and drama and less on violence. There are a few promising films among the fall harvest: "Postcards From the Edge," Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine as mother and daughter in Carrie Fisher's novel, directed by Mike Nichols.
"Awakenings," Penny Marshall directing Robert De Niro and Robin Williams as amnesia victim and doctor. i Fall's harvest shows promise with "Postcards From the Edge," starring Meryl Streep (left) and Shirley MacLaine, in left photo; Walt Disney Pictures all-new 29th animated feature, "The Rescuers Down Under," center; and "The Godfather Part III," with Al Pacino (left) and Andy Garcias. alt 4 Hospital employees learn importance of documentation by 'trial' and error Madonna who? Penn, O'Connor in vogue at rock video awards UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (AP) Irish pop singer Sinead O'Connor pushed aside Madonna to win best female video at the seventh annual MTV Music Video Awards Thursday night. "I don't really know what to say, except thank you very much, and peace," said the 23-year-old O'Connor, a pair of black aviator glasses atop her closely cropped head.
The vampy Madonna, whose stylish black and white "Vogue" video was a heavy favorite, instead captured the best direction statue for videographer David Fincher. And in what proved to be an evening of unexpected winners, Michael Penn walked away with the new artist award for his densely written "Nc Myth" and the new wave group the B-52's won See O'CONNOR, 3D IT'S FRIDAY meticulous record- and chart-keeping to back up themselves and the hospital with evidence. "You've got to be especially careful in your documentation of patient care," Katrina Walker, department manager of the medical intensive nursing unit, said later. "Everything you say and do needs to be documented, because you never know when it's going to be brought up again." "Nursing School 101 is that if it is not documented, it is not done," said Margaret Huff, a director of nursing. "The message is that you need to clearly document procedures that you do for the patient." That had become clear during the mock trial.
Attorneys and the nursing staff had compiled a patient record with charts for the fictitious Donna Smith. Results of some of her tests were actual tests done on real patients, pulled at random. But everything else was ad-libbed by the witnesses. Mrs. Smith had come to Baptist on June 2, 1988, complaining of indigestion that wouldn't go away.
The emergency room had given her nitroglycerin in case of a See MOCK TRIAL, 3D By Dave Goodwin News Journal If ever a jury was rigged, it was this one all employees of the hospital being sued for negligence. Even the plaintiff didn't really mind losing the $600,000 she sought in damages. "Oh, those bums, those bums I'm going to appeal," said "Mrs. Donna Smith," laughing. She had "sued" Baptist Hospital of Pensacola, claiming nurses failed to recognize signs of an impending heart attack.
But, her real name was Shirley Simons, and she was a hospital employee, too. For a day, Baptist Hospital employees witnessed a mock trial conducted by real attorneys Robert L. Crongeyer and J. Nixon Daniel III and a real judge retired circuit and appeals court Judge Woodrow M. Melvin.
The idea was to give employees from nurses to therapists, lab techs and office administrators an idea of what it would be like to be called before the court and grilled by attorneys if the hospital got sued.
