"E.T. Phone Home" aln to ready is as movie-goin- g today's public as "Frankly, my dear, I don't 0 ( 1 well-know- give a damn" or "Here's looking at you sweetheart" were to another generation. The person behind the voice of "E.T.: The is a grandmotherly, twinkly-eye- d Marin County woman who spans both generations of movie-goerPat Welsh, a sixty-is- h Kent-fiel- d resident, was asked to be "The voice of E.T." because of a chance meeting with the movie's sound director a year ago. He heard something in her voice he Extra-Terrestria- s. ET's initial screech in movie belongs to sea otter. l" Woman h knew was right for the part; a quality which was not identifiable as male or female, young or old. "It was a fluke. I wasn't looking for the part. I'm not the only low voice around," said Welsh, a speech therapist for retarded children and an avid naturalist. "I got the part by being in the right place at the right time." Welsh, who is busy these days at Lucasfilm sound studio in San Rafael dubbing E.T.'s voice for foreign language versions of the film, took the time to visit Sonoma State University recently, where she talked to a group of theater arts and students about how she got her new "career" and how it has changed her life. In a scenario reminiscent of Lana Turner's legendary "discovery" at Schwab's in Hollywood, Welsh was tabbed to be E.T.'s voice when sound director Ben Burt happened re-ent-ry to overhear her in a San Anselmo camera shop. Welsh, an accomplished photographer, was discussing some reproductions with the store's proprietor last Octo- ber, "While I was talking, Ben was standing next to me, listening. As I left, he re- marked about my unusual voice. "He asked if I spoke any foreign languages," she recalled. "I said 'a smattering of French, Spanish and Ger- man.' He then asked if I would try out for the part and I said 'yes.'" After two lengthy audition sessions, she got the part. Welsh was called in after the filming was completed (Director Steven Spielberg himself read E.T.'s lines to the other actors during the actual shooting). "Doing E.T.'s voice," she said, "was very repititious. It was a field day for me when I got to Continued on Page 23. Utah County nn(B Commissioners OK Rural Road Change The land is in 31 parcels in the By Josephine Zimmerman Herald Staff Writer ownership of about 20 people, ComIn split votes, the Utah County missioners were told. There is no Planning Commission approved one central water system in the area, and any development would have to another. and rejected three-to-twthe commission voted Tuesday to recommend that 6400 South Street in Lake Shore be changed from rural road status to rural collector status. application o, This recommendation, along with a recommendation to rezone five acres of land for Bud Shepherd from Agriculture-- 1 to Trades and services-- 1 zone, now will go to the Utah County Planning Commission. Last month Shepherd was turned down on his recommendation that his land be rezoned because the county ordinance requires such T zones to be located on and Scollector roads. Shepherd wants to open a shop to sell gifts, novelties and souvenirs, along with his poultry and egg operation. Planning Director Jeff Menden-ha- ll urged commission members to study the intent of the ordinance, pointing out that it is not the intent of the zone to locate scattered commercial pockets through the unincorporated areas. He said the T and S- -l zone is primarily for the convenience of the traveling public. Commissioner John Patrick noted that the road will have to be widened to meet collector road status and pointed out that this zoning would be for one particular purpose. Commissioners received a letter from Clyde P. Naylor, county engineer, stating that his office has been studying the County Collector Road System in an effort to identify future needs. "We do not feel that 6400 South, west of 3200 West, should be a collector road. The road should remain at its present status at 56 feet of Naylor wrote. "Access to Lincoln Beach is proposed to be along 7300 South and along a lake front drive road extending west from 4400 South to 3200 West," Naylor's letter concluded. Commissioner Donald LeBaron said he was concerned that Naylor's letter did not explain the reasoning for retaining 6400 South as a rural road. "I can't vote for a zone change until I know why Naylor decided against it," he said. -l right-of-way- ," LeBaron and Patrick voted against the zone change and change in status of the road because of lack of information. Commissioners Boyd Park, Clair Porter and Shirlene Ottesen voted in favor. The recommendation now goes to the County Commission and a public hearing on the zone change will be scheduled. By a split vote the commission decided against recommending a zone change for 245 acres of land south of Spanish Fork between 8000 South Street and the Spanish Fork River, and from 1100 East to the Spanish Fork city limits. Max Brotherson, representing Hidden Valley Land Company, said he wanted the land changed from Agriculture-- 1 to Rural Residential-- 5 zone. Mendenhall noted that the area is in Spanish Fork City's policy declaration for future annexation, however, the city failed to make any recommendation regarding the take place with septic tanks and wells. Brotherson said there is a potential for 25 to 40 additional homes in the area, with development on five-acr- e lots, depending on availability of water and approval of septic tanks. Mendenhall said one problem is that the RR-- 5 zone would provide a wedge between the RR-- 5 zone and the Spanish Fork Riverbottoms, where rich agricultural land is being farmed intensively. He also noted that substantial farming operations are located to the south, including the Brigham Young University farm and large apple orchards, and the RR-- 5 zone could represent an intrusion into the agricultural usage of land. LaVar Taylor, representing Bradford Acres, said the people of that area are opposed to the rezoning and to having their land rezoned from Agriculture-- 1 to RR-5- . Commissioners also received a letter from Jeffrey Holland, president of BYU, objecting to proposed development near the BVU farm. MflflucDim flflfflirs 0Lirim(oj $i 1982 Billion $500 Million Jesse Parks, property owner, said he opposed the rezoning. He said the area may be marginal farming ground for row crops, but it is very productive land for orchards and berry farms. He has a re fruit operation. Commissioner Patrick said he sees the demand for more county services in more development is allowed and all the city residents will be helping pay for those services. LeBaron asked about the county's present inventory of RR-- 5 zones, and Mendenhall noted large acreage on which little development has taken place in Leland, north of Woodland Hills, in Cedar Valley, in Manila, and in other locations around the county. Mendenhall said little development has taken place in the acreage along 8800 South already zoned for RR-- 5 and another rezoning proposal involving approximately 175 acres is pendbg. Commissioner Park asked why the county has no zone that will ranchettes. He allow only five-acr- e said the current threat is that the RR-- 5 zone allows subdivisions on quarter acre lots. LeBaron asked about septic tanks and said information about the gravel soil in the area would indicate septic tanks could not be approved there. Park suggested that Bradford Acres be deleted from the proposal, but Mendenhall said that area has the most dense residential development and if the land is to be rezoned, Bradford Acres should be included. Commissioners Park and Porter voted in favor, with Patrick, Otte-so- n and LeBaron against. Attorney L. Reid Ivins reported he has been meeting with the County Planning Staff and County Attorneys to review the ordinances regarding mobile homes in the unincorporated areas. He called the meetings productive and said he hopes to present suggested changes in the ordinance soon. Ivins noted that the trend across the country is toward more liberal "They made no recommendation regulations concerning the placeeither for or against; they remain ment and structure of mobile homes. neutral," Mendenhall said. $218 Million 1970 1980 FACT: Utah Credit Unions are over a billion dollars in total assets.
