ENTERTAINMENT Film critic plans return to public eye at festival
CHICAGO — Roger Ebert plans to attend his annual festival for overlooked movies this week, returning to public view for the first time since having cancer surgery.
The 64-year-old film critic had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. He also had emergency surgery July 1 after a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation.
In a column in Tuesday's Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert wrote that what happened was cancer of the salivary gland had spread to his right lower jaw. A segment of the mandible was removed, and two operations to replace that segment were both unsuccessful, "leading to unanticipated bleeding."
A tracheostomy, which opens an airway through an incision in the windpipe, was done, meaning Ebert cannot speak.
"The doctors now plan an approach that does not involve the risk of unplanned bleeding. If all goes well, my speech will be restored," he wrote.
Ebert will watch the ninth annual overlooked Film Festival, which begins Wednesday night at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, from the audience. "I will be wearing a gauze bandage around my neck, and my mouth will be seen to droop."
"I was told photos of me in this condition would attract the gossip papers," he wrote. "So what?"
Ebert wrote that friends were worried about unflattering photos of him being taken and unkind comments being written. He wrote that he doesn't care. "We spend too much time hiding illness."

Willie Nelson and his tour manager were spared jail time Tuesday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.
Nelson, tour manager plead guilty to possession
for Ebert during his recovery.
Nelson and tour manager David Anderson, along with Nelson's sister, Bobbie Nelson, and two drivers, were issued citations on Sept. 18 after state troopers said they found marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms on the country legend's tour bus during a commercial-vehicle inspection on Interstate 10.
State District Judge Paul deMahy fined Nelson and Anderson $1,024 each and put both on probation for six months. As part of a plea agreement, the citation against Bobbie Nelson was dismissed.

tact and build your resources. You
already have more than they think.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7
You're doing what you're doing for love. You'd better be, anyway. Don't even think about the money. It'll come in naturally, as it's needed, if you curb extravagance.
