Then the real dilemma set in according to Jason. 1 had to make a decision on when to come back. Would it be too soon and reinjure the shoulder or would 1 wait too long." WELL HE must have planned it just right as he came back to win the region title and then go on to win the state crown. In the state meet he beat the American Fork man by a pin in the first round, then In demolished Payson 17-the semis he pinned the Timp-vieman then beat Craig Cook at Viewmont 14-- 7 in the finals to successfully retain his championship. Being the defending champion gave Jason mixed feelings. "at times it hurt more than helped. I kept thinking about all those others who had won the title as juniors and had not done much as seniors. I kept telling myself 1 wasn't going to embarrass myself or the coach." 3. w By DAVE WIGHAM WOODS CROSS An injury is something that no one can really predict but in the case of Jason Whitney of Woods Cross he had a notion that it might happen. It did happen but it didn't stop this senior from returning and claiming his second straight wrestling title as he won again this season at the 3A tourna- ment in the 185 lbs. class. , .. - IF YOU will recall it was Jason who won the title a year ago as a junior with an overall 30-record. This season he won with a record, it would have been more wins had it not been for that injury. Throughout my high school career I had seen other people get injured and I kept thinking it was only a matter of time before I would get hit by the jinx. Well that so called jinx caught up to him in the dual meet with Viewmont. : 1 18-- 0 f : JASON RECALLS the incident. was going for a takedown and then flatened out too much. As I tried to straighten out, my opponent did the same and my arm got caught under his leg. When i arched, the arm ! stayed under the leg and 1 dislocated my clavical."

Scott M. Matheson's Hotline. JASON SAT out six weeks of the season and in looking back he feews it helped him. "Before the injury I didn't use my legs that much on the mat but when I came back I started using them more and more with the arm injury. He confessed that never once while wrestling did he think about the injury. "1 never said to myself don't do that or the arm will hurt again but you always wonder about the possibility of reinjury." highs that were displayed 1 . , .

A five-fopartition separates the Hotline office from the rest of the "Governor's Annex." a crowded office complex just west of Ab Jenkins Mormon Meteor exhibit in the Capitol. Mr. Whitney is also a very good football player and he wants to be able to play both sports in college. Several colleges including Weber State. Arizona Western and Cal. Poly have expressed interest in having Jason compete for their school but as of yet no decision has been made on his part. Si: 'W EACH MONTH the Hotline receives hundreds of inquiries, complaints and sometimes even praise for the Governor's actions. After the Pentagons decision on the W'eteye nerve gas transfer we had dozens of calls from citizens who just wanted to thank Gov. Mathe-so- n for what he had done. says Ms. Charles. Most Hotline calls are not so easy to handle. One call just this week was from a woman whose husband had been abusing her. She called for aid. We were able to put her in contact with the proper agency for her situation." says Ms. Charles, "and it looks like things will work out." 1 JASON MOVED to Utah in the seventh grade from Wyoming and since he took up the sport way back in those days he has been winning tournaments. First he won the ninth grade tournament two years in a row, then he won the region title three years in a row and to top it all off he won the state title two years in a row. Thunderstorm Season Approaches - -- The thunderstorm season is approaching. Statistics show these storms contain highly .destructive winds which usually do not touch the : J : ground plus the heavy electric- al charges which do strike the ground and which claim many lives each year. SUMMER weather is gener-all- y thought to be and many assume thunderstorms are mostly noise and fury and without danger. However, lightning from thunderstorms in late spring and early summer kill more people than does lightning at all other times of the year combined. There are certain rules one should follow if caught in a . thunderstorm, according to the Weather Bureau. If indoors. one should stay indoors and avoid electrical equip- ment. the telephone and plumbing fixtures. IF OUTDOORS, one should stop work on metal fences, leave tractors, especially those pulling metal imple- SCIENCE FAIR ments. stay away from the tallest trees, poles and solitary fixtures and seek shelter in low areas away from water or in buildings. There is a last, grim word of advice. Sometimes one can actually feel the first electrical charge of approaching lightning. we are told. The hair stands on end or the skin tingles. IF YOU feel one of these danger signs, the Weather Bureau says, drop to the ground immediately. If you don't you may drop a few seconds later in more serious condition, for this is an omen of a nearby, massive electrical charge.

It can bring tranquility and humbleness to every thinking individual.

Additional Growth Will Increase Water Needed By 1 500 Acre-Fe- et By Year 2000 By GARY R.

THAT WAS the concensus of a report to the Weber Basin by the consulting firm of Nielsen, Maxwell and of Ogden, and James M. Montgomery. The study shows that by usWang-sgaar- ing received special training in human relations. In addition, airmen who complete basic training earn credits towards an associate degree in applied science through the Community College of the Air Force. THE AIRMAN will now receive specialized training in the accounting and finance field. He graduated in 1971 THE HOTLINE has been in operation for more than three years and is staffed mainly by Mimi Charles. Ms. Charles' office is a virtual cubby hole on the first floor in the State Capitol. It is decorated by maps, lists, phone directories, old newspapers, overflowing binders, notes and some parapha-nali- a left over from the 1980 budget session of the State Legislature. Ms. Charles' desk, which of the occupies fully office, is found beneath a estimated population fi- gures, the district which now distributes a little less than of water to 29.000 acre-fee- t customers along the Wasatch Front will have to increase this amount to about 44,000 acre-fee- t. WITHIN THE next 10 years, the district will be serving some 280,000 customers of water. with 37,700 acre-feThis should be increased to 44.000 acre-feby 2000, the report indicated. Ogden, of course, will receive the largest share of population increase, more than 16.000 in the next 20 years, but water requirements are not expected to increase above its present 4,500 acre-fe- be- cause the city has supplies in Pine View Reservoir and other rights to meet the demands of the increased population, it was explained. SOUTH OGDEN, however, is expected to use a lot more water as its projected population is 16,470 by 2000, compared to its present population of approximately 12,000. Several Davis County communities, too, are expected to experience population booms," thus a substantial crease in water needs. in- CONSIDERABLE increases are expected in all of Davis Countys communities over the next 20 years, but the projected increases in water supply vary greatly. Bountiful, for example, with other sources of water supply wells and canyon streams will probably experience a population boom but needs for Weber Basin water is not expected to increase substantially. tion of about 2,350, is expected to increase in residents by more than 3,000 and will require more than 800 acre-fe- OTHER communities, however, will require heavy 2000. demands from the water district.

They would also carry vertical takeoff jets -- such as the Harrier. SOME OF the ships' big guns would be replaced by missile launchers. They would carry hundreds of the Navys Tomahawk cruise missiles. They would also carry several vertical takeoff jets. Operation of these ships is costly. Yet they are very heavily armored and can withstand more punishment without sinking than can aircraft carriers. Their greatest advantage, however, lies in the fact that they're already built. Con- - West Point, the report showed. WEBER BASIN officials earlier stressed that the district is at capacity for supplying water to its customers. However, other sources of water supply including pumping water from Willard Bay are being developed to accommodate water needs in the future. Who Knows? 1 Proposal Submitted To Demothball A proposal and is is projected to increase to 1.770 by 1990 and to 2,530 acre-feby 2000. A similar increase in both population and water supply is expected in struction cost today would be billions per ship. WHETHER OR not these ships can eventually be con- verted to nuclear-powere- d use is intriguing, because they can reportedly be recommissioned for less than the cost of building a new destroyer today. There's no doubt they would be formidable missile carriers, and no potential enemy has anything like them. They were all completed in the fifties, and decommissioned in the late fifties. They were our best, biggest and fastest battleships at the end of vessels,- - their possible World War II. Their time might have come again, with the advent of missiles and tical takeoff jets. ver- .

MANY PEOPLE who call the Hotline or visit the office want to talk personally with the Governor, although his heavy daily schedule rarely permits unexpected visitors. Ms. Charles said, Much of the time he is their only hope and we feel a definite commitment to resolve their problems if at all possible." Also involved in the Hotline operation is Phil Dyer, an intern and political science student at the University of Utah. Anna Marie Marchesi rounds out the Hotline stall. Written communication between members of the staff is often sent "airmail" over the five foot partition sepal aling their adjacent work areas. WHILE MANY people publicly urge less government regulation or contiol. people who call the Hotline often request new laws, agencies or regulations to correct problems which concern them. This work can be very satisfying." said Ms. Charles, but it can also be very frustrating when you receive a string of distressing calls from people in serious circumstances. Then we have to work especially hard to get quick solution." re- HOTLINE CALLS are occasionally unusual. They range from complaints about a tree surgeon operating on a tree to one regular caller who sings to Ms. Charles and sometimes sends gifts. On the more serious side, one man. several months ago. was contemplating suicide when he called the Governor's Hotline. Ms. Charles spent major portions of the succeeding four days cutting through red tape and getting professional help for the caller. TWO MONTHS later the man called the Hotline just to say. everything was all right. The Hotline has no interest in being a "crisis" operation, but w hen w e receive a call for help we must act." says Ms. Charles. Still, the major function of the Hotline is information and problem solving. As for the in- -' formational impact of the Hot- line service. Gov. Matheson : said. "1 can often tell what issues are brewing before they ; become public because of the Hotline. It provides me with a great deal of preliminary infor- - -mation necessary to address ; forthcoming issues." TO THE uninitiated, a day working on the Hotline is a : humbling experience. According to Ms. Charles. 6(KI calls ; were handled by the Hotline stall during January and Feb-- . ruary. Some culls are not logged in. so that total figure is undoubtedly low. A frequency check during the legislative session indicated a rate of 70 Hotline calls per day. or one every six minutes. Major concerns of those individuals calling the Hotline recently were the Housing Finance Agency, laws on mobile homes and mobile home parks, complaints from State Prison employees, the State Insurance Fund, tax rebates, nursing homes and. of course, the Weteyes and the MX. THE HOTLINE is staffed during normal business hours and includes a loll free line for cawls from outside Salt Lake City. A random sample taken in February shows fully 70 percent of the calls to the Governor's Hotline originate outside of Salt Lake City. "I think we provide a valuable service to the people and to the Governor." says Ms. Charles. "There is something uniquely satisfying about dealing personally with people who need assistance." -- ' (533-434- AND SHE adds. "Wc do subscribe to the cliche ' The Buck Stops Here- because we handle problems which involve all levels of government and the private sector: but all these situations have one common denominator: They are brought to us by Utah citizens. That makes them very important to us." The Fusion Reactor Hope Despite understandable fears about nuclear power, it's more than obvious the United States, like France. West Germany, Britain, etc., must turn to nuclear power to avoid dire economic consequences resulting from dependence on Arab oil. France is already ahead. developments lead supporters of the fusion method to believe it can become a reality in the I990's. Previously, it had been thought fusion was 40 years away. But Cong. Mike McCormack chairman of the House Committee on Energy Research, now thinks fusion plant could be operational by the nineties because of recent scientific progress. a demonstration BY 1985, France expects to be producing 55 percent of its electric power in reactors. Accepting this necessity, it now appears there's new hope in fusion, as apart from fission. All today's reactors are fission reactors, utilizing a limited resource (uranium) and producing deadly wastes. reactor point to its many LAST FALL he got a bill through the House to make that possible. It stalled in the Senate. But there is strong bipartisan support for the effort and Senate failure was more a matter of running out of time and a congested Senate calendar than opposition to the idea. theres no reawly comparison.
