A Both groups are biased against each other and Tartan Tar-tan convinces the LDS Church members to invite the Baptists to an all-faiths barbecue in an attempt to unify the two groups. Because the main character charac-ter is a forest ranger, the film required a good dose of nature shots, many of which were done in Springville's canyon. "We did actually quite a bit in Hobble Creek Canyon while we were there," said "Baptists" director Christian Vuissa.

Heads of city departments gave reports of what they considered to be the top needs and issues in their departments. de-partments. Mayor E. Fritz Boyer started start-ed the meeting by pointing out the need to discuss long-term long-term goals and needs for the city of SpringviUe. He first used examples he had obtained ob-tained from local organizations organiza-tions such as Mountainland Association of Governments, from their long-range goal plans, to try and channel the meeting in a direction for long-range planning. "We as a mayor and council coun-cil are to prepare guidance and not come up with solutions solu-tions for the city staff to work on. We were elected to come up with questions and guidance as to where the city needs to go, not have solutions solu-tions to the problems," Boyer said. He thought that it would be best to sit down for the day and talk about long range (5-10 (5-10 years) goals ana needs for the city. Councilman Niel Strong said, "I think that we can do whatever we need to for the citizens if we include them from the get go." He stated that he was pleased with the direction that the city is currently cur-rently taking. Councilman Rodney Burt wanted to know from the administration ad-ministration what they thought the citizens' most pressing needs were since they worked with them on a day-to-day basis unlike the council " that only meets every two weeks. He wanted to know what the novel "Baptists at Our Barbecue" by Robert Far-rell Far-rell Smith. Principal cast members include Heather Beers, who had the lead role in the film "Jack Weyland's Charly," as well as Dan Merkley, Frank Gerrish and Duane Stephens. Recently, the film won the "Best of Festival" award at the 2004 Hope and Dreams Film Festival in New Jersey. The film was also honored with awards for best comedy come-dy and best of festival at the Fiery Film Fest in New Mexico. Mex-ico. FarreU M. Smith, executive execu-tive producer of the movie and father of Robert FarreU Smith, said he beUeves the film has an appeal that extends ex-tends beyond the LDS market. mar-ket. He attended the New Jersey Jer-sey film festival where the movie was screened. "Their whole reaction was, 'You need to show this to the whole world, not just a Mormon market,'" Smith said. Whether or not the film will eventually be distributed distrib-uted to theaters nationwide will depend on how it is received re-ceived in Utah, Smith said.

Councilwoman Dianne Carr was concerned that new council would be seated every two years and they might not always have the same ideas as the present council for the city. This could make it very difficult to make decisions that might change every two years. After this and much other discussion on the issue of what should and shouldn't be discussed at the planning meeting, it was finally decided decid-ed that each department head should list the top three items they thought were the most important to their own department, so the council would have a better grasp as to the needs of the city. Police Chief Finlayson was the first to speak on behalf of the police department. He thought that the greatest needs at this time are more officers on patrol and more officers that can focus on drug enforcement. He pointed out that right now the city has four officers offi-cers on each shift to cover all seven days. If one goes on vacation and one gets sick the same week, sometimes there will only be two officers offi-cers at a given time out on patrol. He felt that with three more officers - one for each shift - they could more adequately ade-quately manage the manpower man-power needs for the patrol division of the department. The chief also would like to put two more officers directly direct-ly into the drug enforcement program and felt that this would really help in deterring deter-ring this type of crime. He said that right now the state average is 1.8 officers I v.- a W 1 y J-it . w ' - I y v.-1 I I A ' v , Rosemberg Salgado as Mr. Holden starting off the 'All Faiths Barbecue' Barbe-cue' with a prayer in "Baptists at our Barbecue."

Along with more officers would also come new facilities facili-ties to house these officers. Public Works Brad Stapley, newly hired public works director, covered cov-ered the needs for streets, water, sewer collection, storm water collection and the wastewater treatment plant. His main goal in the street department is to define the level of service wanted by the council: how nice do they want the streets to be? This would include road service quality, weed con-' trol, sweeping, parkway maintenance and curb, gutter gut-ter and sidewalk issues. He would like direction from the council so he can budget for the items that they want. Bridges were also discussed dis-cussed with Director Stapley Eointing out that SpringviUe as some very bad bridges that wiU need to be addressed ad-dressed in the very near future. fu-ture. In the water department, there is a need for two new storage tanks to keep up with the growth in SpringviUe along with at least two new wells to keep up with demand.
