Show I WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL. NOVEMBER 3. 1977 IHra Commissioners agreed to By ROSELYN KIRK Water pollution problems specified in the recently completed Water Quality Study, which includes Davis County, could put farmers out of business if all the water quality standards recommended in that document are met, a group of agricultural experts told Davis County Commissioners on Tuesday. BLAIR Dahl, president of the Farm Bureau in Davis County, Tom Bingham, director of public policy for the Farm Bureau, and Rick Griffin, irrigation specialist from Utah State University, said they fear the recommendations made in the study may become federal mandates, forcing farmers to pay the bulk of the cost of the recommendations. Tom Christensen, who began to make Films vyhen he was a sophomore at Layton High School, has received nine national and international awards for his film Elaine Dart: Not Like Other People. A POWERFUL MEDIUM By ROSELYN KIRK Tom Christensen got into filmmaking when he was a sophomore at Layton High about 10 years ago and now at 24 he has won awards for three of his films. One, "Elaine Dart. . . Not Like Other People has won him nine national and international awards. The film is about a handicapped woman who lives in Clearfield. FILM IS the most powerful medium, Tom says. It can be preserved just as i was recorded. Theater, dance and music, some of the other mediums, are gone after they happen. But filmmaking is exciting. It scares me when I think I wanted to be an orthodontist. Toms father Robert Christensen, is a dentist. All his other brothers or Lay-to- sisters are in the medical or dental field. The boys are doctors or dentists. The girls are either nurses or dental assistants. Tom, who is fourth in the family of 10, used to think he wanted to be an orthodontist and then, he fell in love with film. AT FIRST my father was worried, but now theyre all proud because they expect me to make more money than an orthodontist. Tom made his award winning film, Elaine Dart, as a student project for a filmmaking class at BYU. He had known the handicapped woman, who was afflicted with a cerebral palsy, when he was a student at Layton High. At that time he was playing with a band called Spectrum that used to play at the nursing home where the woman lived. SHE WAS able to use her feet to paint and knit and could even thread a needle. I thought there was a good story to be told there. So when the assignment to make the film was made later in his college career, Tom thought of this woman. At that time he didnt know any other filmmakers so he shot and developed the film without help. The 16 millimeter film, which lasts 14 minutes, took him from September to June to complete. Tom is currently making the film The Tortise, a film about a man in Los Angeles who doesnt have any feet and yet runs a 26 mile marathon. He always comes in last place, but thats his victory Even to be able to walk is something." ting the story on the air immediately. Sometimes Tom is frustrated with the video tape as an end product. Not everything is perfect, he says. But then television video tape is not like a film which you intend to show the rest of your life. He said his work as a TV camerman two days a week helps to support him while he is working on his films. IN ADDITION to the two films on the handicapped, Tom is currently directing a documentary which is being made in conjunction with a film produced by the Film Company. While Tom is working as a camera man for the film short, which stars Jimmy Osmond, he is also directing a documentary which shows how the film is made. Tom was also director of photography for a film, Moonlight Express, produced in Washington state. This film, which he worked on last summer with Robert Hatch, is about a father who is the operator of a swing bridge. As a trainful of people comes toward the bridge operator, he is faced with lowering the bridge and saving the lives of the people on the train or saving his sons life. Osmonds Cine-We- st NEXT SUMMER Tom plans to make a film called, My Garden. Its a great story, Tom says. The film will be about an old woman who spends most of her time sitting and looking out of the window into her garden. The ending ot the film reveals that the womans blind. The camera takes an honest look outside the window. There is only a black wall and the garden is in the old womans heart. Tom said the idea for the movie is found in a poem that a relative wrote. Tom says he doesnt consider himself a writer. Most of his ideas come from other sources, while his skill is revealed by the way he puts those plots on film. TOM CONSIDERS Elaine Dart his best film. Even though he made it as a student project during his first year in filmmaking, he says he is happy with the results. The film was entered in competition with films produced by professionals and won the Best of Show award at the Great Basin Film Festival in 1976 and was given the Best Film award at the Lake Tahoe International Film Festival in 1977. In all the film has received recognition in nine contests. g Toms first serious attempt at was the production of the film Count Your Blessings," which won him three awards. The film was based on the song by Neil Simon, He Aint Heavy, Hes My Brother. All of his films have a moral or a lesson, Tom said. film-makin- THE FILM IS motivational and antiabortion, Tom says. The man, Peter Strudwick, was bom with no feet in Germany during the period when the Nazis were in control. They wanted to kill him, because he had no hands or feet, but his mother escaped from Germany with Pete runs in marathons every him. year, despite his handicap, so we went to California this summer to film him. He doesn't come in close to first, yet he does more with what he has than most of the rest of us do. Tom went to California last week to finish up that 27 minute film on the runner. He is now in the editing stage of that film. GRADUATE of BYU in Cinematography, Tom later attended the University of Utah and taught a filmmaking class there. He works two days a week as a cameraman for KSL television. He said that, although the quick camera tech nique is not a professional product like the film, it has news advantages in get A C-sii3 TV Repair All won a Cindy GIVEN ONE Talent, Award from the Information Film Producers of America. Tom has concentrated to this point only on documentaries and educational films, but he says that eventually he will have to get into feature films if he wants to continue as a filmmaker. HE SAYS his one frustration with his choice of occupation is that when you get into film, everything goes wrong. Even if the filming and acting is the way you want it, you can send it to the lab for developing and they scratch it. guess Ill never be completely happy with a film, but that doesnt mean don't get fulfillment. 1 1 Maniel Is Jgj! ioFiis Head makes, reasonable rates, FAST SERVICE Gene McDaniel of Farming-tohas been named the new director of group life at the n Phone 37M196 Bill Brlmley Clearfield Job Corps Center.

I grew up having orange juice every morning for breakfast and now I usually give it to my children regularly. We use frozen juice which is unsweetened. Now a friend of mine went to a nutritionist who told her that the juice isnt that good, for you and its better to have the orange itself. Isnt orange-juic- full of vitamin C? A. THERES nothing wrong with orange juice. The only problem, for some people, is to be aware that orange juice requires usually two or three oranges to be squeezed to make up a glass of juice. Much of the natural fruit sugar of the orange will be carried in the juice, so you are getting the carbohydrate equivalent of several oranges. Other nutrients are present in the fruit of the orange and especially in the inner layers of the peel, the white part that may stick to the orange when you peel it. These nutrients are not present in the juice so it is generally healthier to eat the whole natural fruit rather than just the liquid part. The same goes for grapefruit, grapes and apples. YOURE right about the vitamin more in the juice-provithe juice is fresh and doesnt sit around too long since the vitamin activity deteriorates rapidly. If you do use the juice be sure its not an orange drink but genuine juice. In these days of high pressure advertising, it may be difficult to distinguish Quality administrators Dr. Michael Miner and Paul Keily on Nov. 7. DR. GRIFFIN said that pollution in Davis County streams is minimal and water is of high quality. He argued that the county does not have the same kind of pollution problems that exist in other parts of the country and yet the water quality requirements are similar. Mr. Bingham said that Davis County is also unique since most of the agriculture is located west of the population centers and most agricultural water runs into the lake. He questioned whether water quality in the streams has to be maintained at a high level when the water Clearfield Kiwanis Members Assigned Board members of the Kiwanis Club of Clearfield have accepted the following committee assignments for the coming year, said Erroll Nelson, vice president.

THERE are oral decongestants that help some people. These are drugs taken by mouth that help to narrow the small blood vessels supplying the tissue of the nose. The less blood flowing, the less congestion there is. Sometimes this works but often it doesnt and the side effects of rapid heart beat, nervousness and irritability may prevent their use for long. If you can put up with uncertainty and lots of injections then occasionally hyposensitization may be of use to you. This builds your bodys resistance to the allergic factor. I have seen patients respond well to almost any method of treatment - or sometimes to nothing in particular. EMOTIONAL factors may cause stress enough to set off the reaction and techniques for altering your reactivity to stress can give relief. Biofeedback can aid in relaxation as well as permit diverting blood away from the nasal tissues and may the alleviate symptoms. Meditative practices can also alter tissue reactivity.

"If the farmer has to pay for the bulk of the cost, it will put him out of business."

Oh, no, collected. the two. Q. My doctor I was calm - and MR. BINGHAM said that contrary to the 208 report, there are no studies that show commercial fertilizers used on farms contribute significantly to stream pollution. He said the cost of fertilizer makes good management a necessity. Nitrate fertilizers are soluble in water and is readily assimilated by plants and does not end up in stream water. The group is also concerned with the cost of implementing the 208 water quality program if it should be mandated. Mr. Bingham said, although costs in Denver. Dr. Griffin said that the document in total is a good study, but objected to several pages which he said tended to lump other problems under the title of agricultural water pollution. Mr. Bingham questioned whether the possible pollution resulting from the pasturing of pleasure horses on the eastern part of Davis County should be lumped under agricultural use. MR. BINGHAM said that agriculturalists feared that the 208 studies would become the water pollution plan for the state and sought the help from agricultural experts from Utah State University in technical matters. According to Dr. Griffin, the report prepared by agricultural experts to be presented to Governor Matheson, expressed "a caution. We are asking that they be careful in interpreting what needs to be done in this IN THE rebuttal paper, that agriculturalists say problems spelled out in the 208 report have been overemphasized. They say that such pollutants as sedimentation and increased salt concentration, associated with irrigation, cannot be eliminated except through discontinuing farming in the area.

Has your monthly retirement check ever been late? says I have allergic rhinitis because my nose is always running or clogged up. It goes on most of the year. Sometimes antihistamines help, but I usually end up having to spray my nose to keep it open even a little bit. RECENTLY I found myself using nose drops or spray almost every hour and some- times even more often. Its beginning to interfere with my sleep and makes my mouth so dry, I can't talk or eat my food normally. Isnt there anything else I can do? A. You sound like you are becoming the victim of "rebound congestion. There are two reasons that this problem occurs in people with allergic rhinitis who use nose drops for a prolonged period of time. THE swollen membranes inside the nose become more sensitive than normal tissues to the irritation of the drugs sprayed or dropped on their surface. Although they shrink down for a while as a result of the drug action when it wears off, they may swell even more than they were before you used the drops or spray. This forces you to use even more and more frequently. Finally they may only give you relief for less than an hour or not at all. You'll never have to wait again!
