Show ESTHER Wednesday, May 26, 1976 Page 7 Police On mm Once -upon a time there was a black dude running around with an enchanted guitaf. This man could make his enchanted guitar saythings no other man could make a guitar say. He was a Voodoo child. Then, suddenly, he went on to the next world., f. He left behind many legends and myths. Like the legend of Monterey", where he blew a crowd's mind by singing Wild Thing while doing "unspeakable" "un-speakable" things to his guitar. Or how he played his guitar behind, between or around every part of his body. And how he would kiss his guitar and make it cry out in pleasure. Yet when he left, people started doing things that made other people think that the people who spread the myths were crazy. Like the film Jimi Hendrix Berkley Concert, a film so poorly conceived and executed that even as great a performer as Hendrix looks mediocre. How could any filmaker diminish Hendrix? The man was dynamic, moving about the stage like a lythe black panther. Jimi was photogenic, wearing outrageous clothing and wearing it well. Hendrix was an incredible guitarist, wrenching sounds from a straticaster that would make a sythesizer "virtuoso" like Rick Wakeman pale by comparison. How could anyone miss? By applying bad cinematography, poor editing, and typical rock concert myopia to a Hendrix concert, thats how. Very few people will consciously notice that a camera person is grappling for a focus, but most people are aware that something is not right. In most films, a camera person's goofs are edited out, but not in Jimi Hendrix's Berkley Concert. And of course there was the typical rock concert myopia. There was not one shot of the entire group on stage. At least 50 percent of the time the cameras were zoomed on on Jimi's face, ignoring his amazing stage presence. Indeed, people who worked with Hendrix say that for the most part he was painfully shy about his singing, usually turning his back on the control room when making a record. The only time the film sparked to life was when the filmakers pulled back and let Hendrix's stage act take over. Had the filmaker thought about Jimi Hendrix's talent in a realistic cinema Ihe'film so blatently What was the reality behind the Jimi Hendrix myth? Was the man really as shy and humble off stage as he was aggressive and bold on stage? Unfortunatly the Jimi Hendrix Berkley Concert won't tell you. The film shows none of the real Hendrix, and very little of the myth. Gee Jimi, if they keep doing this to you no one will believe me when I tell them about this Voodoo child and his magic guitar I once saw. by Robert Danko and Peter Wilson With more than half pf the natural gas, the price of households in the U.S. ex- nitrogen fertilizers reflects pected to have some kind of the availability of the gas. vegetable garden this year,.

But the orgainc philosophy is not shared only by small plot gardeners. As many as 10,000 farmers are practicing it on commercial size acerages throughout the country, according to Rodale Press, a Pennsylvania publishing house of organic gardening and farming literature. These farmers, too, may be in the news more and more as the changing scene in conventional U.S. farming rising energy costs, restrictions on pesticide use, fertilizer shortages is compelling scientists, environmentalists, and most importantly, agriculturalists, to explore the benefits of organic agriculture. In fact, these explorations already have produced newsworthy findings. According to a study funded by the National Science Foundation, organic farms have been found to produce crop yields comparable to those of conventional farms while using only a third of the energy. The philosophy of organic agriculture "emphasizes the completion of the life cycle by returning animal manures gas shortage, which couia affect both fertilizer prices and agricultural production, understandably worries many people.

U.S. agriculture is equally dependent oh pesticides, many of which also are made from petroleum products. More disturbing is the growing ineffectiveness and environmental en-vironmental damage .which results from the over-use of some pesticides. While conventional' farms rely on energy-intensive fertilizers nutrients to farms depend on the manures i O'Brien features "naturally and crop wastes.

Better soil fertility and safer disposal are the double benefits the program is promoting. Advocates of recycling organic wastes back to the farms believe the time has passed when the U.S. can afford to "waste" its garbage and sludges. scratch," says the man who lent his, name to the restaurant. The beef and pork meals offered are cooked nightly over hickory logs imported from Missouri' (since Utah has no hickory of its own). Noting that evening prices start at $3.65 which includes a salad bar. Purdoni says, "We're in a price range where you can afford to eat dinner." Lunch time is a fast, self-service self-service buffet affair while table service will be offered at breakfast and dinner. With "great spare ribs", an informal atmosphere, a mini bottle license, accomodating hours of operation, and modest prices, O'Brien's is really a "pit" the kind of pit that can become habit forming. The Park City Police Department would proudly like to announce the graduation from the Utah State Police Academy of Officer Joseph L. Offret. Officer Offret received the Basic P.O.S.T. (Peace Officer Standards and Training), certificate cer-tificate on Friday, May 21, 1976. We are extremely proud of Officer Offert's grade point average. Joe was among the top 10 percent in a class of twenty six cadets. (94.6 percent). We feel Officer Offret will be an exemplary Police Officer, not only for Park City, but for the State of Utah. He is the calibre of Policeman, you, the citizens of Park City deserve. We are at your service. Sgt. Mike Crowley.

Maintaining a balanced ecosystem is another important im-portant philosophical goal of organic agriculturalists, which is onereason why they . do not use synthetic fertilizers fer-tilizers and pesticides. - That doesn't mean organic farmers advocate returning to the pre-20th century days of farming. They too employ the latest technology and scientific information that has become the trademark of American agriculture. But they don't let it upset the ecological balance in their farming which they believe in the long run will ensure the continued health and productivity of the soil. Fertilizer-Energy Connection Agriculturalists often cite the nitrogen fertilizer-energy connection first when they get into the future problems of farm production. Nigrogen is an essential' nutrient needed for plant growth, and conventional agriculture depends heavily on the abailabilty of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers for. its success. Since these fertilizers fer-tilizers in the U.S. are produced exclusively from published Center for the Biology of Natrural Systems at Washington University in St. Louis. , It matched 16 organic farms to conventional con-ventional farms as closely as possible with regard to size, location, soil characteristics, Project.

"The technical oversight which must be corrected is the lack of language specifically authorizing the study question the tenet that energy-intensive agriculture, with its heavy use of fertilizers fer-tilizers and pesticides, is the best way to keep production up. The research showed: 1) The market value of the crops organically grown is only slightly less than that of the conventionally grown crops; 2) Operating costs are $16 per acre, or 9 percent less on organic farms; 3) Energy consumption by organic farmers is one-third less of conventional farmers. Those kinds of conclusions don't promise the replacement of conventional farming with organic far- ming in the future.

"Most of us in Utah have long worked to bring the Uintah Unit to fruition.
