Wright noted that "the word yoga means discipline" and involves balance. When "balancing your time between church, family, health, sleep," she said, "stop, take a breath, and think what your body does for you." Joe Layne's presentation was on Scuba diving and global warming. He talked about how to avoid problems prob-lems of disorientation from diving too deep, or rapid decompression from surfacing surfac-ing too quickly. He said that an interest in diving was coupled with an interest in the welfare of marine animals, and that the U.S. is home to only four percent of the world's population popu-lation but .accounts for 25 percent of greenhouse gases. During the question and answer session one panel member asked how far he had dived. "Certification depth is sixty feet." "Where do you find water of that depth?" George Curtis asked. "At the crater" in Midway. Alan Adamson told his panel that he had changed his project, publishing a short story, because he had already found a publisher -: :-;;:. :.: lit? 41 , Photos by Harlow Clark Julie Lloyd worked with the Special Olympics for her project.

He talked about Edgar Allan Poe, the subject of his research paper, then played . his movie on his laptop computer. com-puter. The movie . was a shbrt story with the narration narra-tion moving onto the screen, and words moving in different differ-ent ways, or taking different shapes. Kathy Terry asked, "How does this relate to Poe?" Adamson said he was inspired by Poe's way of doing bizarre, things, out of the ordinary, and that mak ing the movie was in the same experimental spirit. McKell Chesnut reported on a five-day tennis clinic she ran in Discovery Park, and showed a video of the clinic. About her own playing play-ing she said high school players choose singles or doubles while college students stu-dents do both, and she had chosen doubles because, "It's so much more fun to play," and talked about how well she plays with her partner since 7th grade, Mindy Nielson. The two have won the 4A high school State Tennis Doubles championship in their junior jun-ior and senior years. Syd Hackford asked about a scholarship and Chesnut said they're hard to get because colleges want singles players. Each project included the presentation, a portfolio and a research paper. The judges presented each student stu-dent with a long-stemmed rose, a medallion and a pin to wear at graduation. Clark Blaisdell, who started the program, told the Lindon city council March 20 that one year the judges didn't give out the roses. She said, "One of the macho athletes came up to me and said, T didn't get my long-stemmed long-stemmed rose.'" sz. ,., s, , . & r, a r r Vi . : il I j v i-lMr1 Abby and Ben Tullis Born together, graduated together!
