KSL-Trecognized the occasion by devoting a portion of its March 2 Prime Time Access program to a retrospective of Nourses career as a broadcast journalist. Nourse, weatherman Bob Welti V V and sportscaster Paul James have been together longer than any other news team in America. Throughout his 20 years at KSL, Nourse has seen major changes in local broadcasting. There were six people in the news department when I started here, he said. Everyone did everything wed shoot our own film, write, edit, report and Id be back at the station to read the news later that night. In the beginning, Nourse served as KSLs only news anchor, and was on air seven days a week. Today, there are over 90 s news departpeople in the ment, and Nourse KSL-TV- top-rate- d News weekdays with Shelley Thomas at 6 p.m. and with Bruce Lindsay at 10 p.m. Nourse said the quality of television news reporting today is Channel 5 before. ever than better Technological advancements combined with larger and more specialized news staffs have helped CISL transform television news into a credible communication medium, he said. Nourse cited the Vietnam War as marking a turning point for television journalism. More people got news about the Vietnam War and the protests because of television, he said. In 1967, Nourse toured Vietnam for KSL-Tfor one month." During "that time, he visited military people from Utah to get their impressions of the V war. Nourse said this trip was the high point of his career, adding that the visit changed his opinion of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Nourse said he enjoys the recognition factor associated with his job the fact that people stop him on the street and treat him like a trusted friend. In describing Nourses credibility with the viewing audience, colleague Bruce Lindsay has said, Dick is like the Walter Cronkite of local television. Nourse is originally from Grand Junction, Colorado, where he began his broadcasting career at radio stations KDTA and KREX. He joined KSL in 1964 as a booth announcer and began working full time with the news department six months later. Nourse attended Mesa College in Granid Junction, Colorado, and BYU in Provo. INFLUENZA-UTA- reported for the week ending 27, 1984. The first counties to be affected with a large number of January cases were Emery, Utah, Piute, Davis, Sanpete and Kane. Most cases involved elementary school children : some schools reported that-a- s many as 20 percent of their students were absent during the peak of influenza activity. Type B influenza virus (similar to ) was isolated from throat washings collected in Utah and Sanpete Counties. Regional influenza outbreaks had been reported from all areas of the State by the end of February. Many other states have reported isolation of both A and B viruses. In several ; cases, mixed outbreaks have been confirmed. Influenza outbreaks are expected to decrease during March. Laboratory studies are continuing. , The first outbreaks of influenza in Utah during the 1983-8- 4 season were The isolate from Utah County came from a nursing home where eight of 79 residents became ill with influenza symptoms during late January. Most residents had been immunized.

Because state health departments and CDC are more likely to become aware of fatal cases, the reported ratios are probably overestimates- .The relatively low reported incidence of Reye Syndrome in 1982 remained relatively stable. The intensity of Reye Syndrome surveillance varies by both geographic area and year, and hence, changes in reported incidence must be cautiously interpreted. The intensity of surveillance usually depends, in part, on the awareness of the illness among the public and and 1983 probably reflects, at least in medical personnel and the ease and part, the intensity and-o- r type of perceived importance of reporting influenza activity.

Flssd control efforts on schedule Utah Power & Light Co.s flood control efforts in Utah and Wyoming are on schedule.

Government forecasts as of March 1 indicate run-of- f will be much "above normal is almost every river basin in UP&Ls service territory. Reservoir control means you plan five or six months in advance of where you want to be, explained Carly Burton, UP&Ls Hydrologic Supervisor. At Electric Lake west of Huntington, Emery County, the company has been releasing water since December. The 30,000 acre foot s reservoir should be only full by the time run-of- f begins in earnest, leaving 10,000 feet of two-third- remaining capacity. (An acre foot is the amount of water it would take to cover one acre one foot deep.) Burton said UP&L coordinates its releases from Electri Lake with the Division of W ildlife Resources and the U.S. Forest Service to maintain the quality of the fish habitat in Huntington Creek. A second, benefit of the gradual drawdown of the reservoir is that it minimizes erosion. In the winter time, measured amounts of water will flow past streambeds that are frozen solid . and wont be washed away. Heavy surges of water in the spring, when banks are thawed, would erode tons of earth and damage riverbank vegetation. Elsewhere in the UP&L system, the company is drawing down the Naughton Reservoir to its lowest level ever. That reservoir, near Kemmerer, Wyoming, should be down to 12,000 acre feet. That will leave about"30,000 acre feet of capacity to handle o At Bear Lake on the border, UP&L has been releasing water since July. The lake is about five feet below the peak it reached run-of- f.
