"The told the people of Southern Utah that, if we dont test the nuclear bombs, then the Communists will get us," said Wenzel. "The representatives of the Atomic Energy Commission went to schools, held town hall meetings, and showed films about how nuclear testing is good, and how by supporting it, the people would be patriots. "Nuclear radiation is no worse than the radiation you get from the Sun or from an the government would say." Wenzel also said that a 1980 U.S. House hearing showed that the effects of radiation were suppressed. She also cites a 1997 National Cancer Institute study, which, she says, showed that cancer rates were far in excess of what the government has admitted to. Young said that the government was so successful in selling the hype that groups from Dixie College went to watch the detonations take place. The fallout from these nuclear tests was spread through the wind to neighboring communities; hence, the term "downwinders." Southern Utah was not the only area affected, says Wenzel. "The wind blew in all directions," she said. The winds carried it farther north than just our area, said Young. It went as far as the Cache Valley area. The downwinders movement, which began at Dixie, has attempted to recover compensation, but those attempts have yielded little success, says Wenzel. Wenzel believes that a bill passed by the federal government, which limits the amount of compensation that can be awarded to victims to $50,000 and also limits the lawyers cut to a maximum of 2 percent, has discouraged victims from seeking remunerations. Wenzel hopes that by chronicling what occurred in the Nevada Desert in the 1950s, the government will alter its restrictive statutes. That, says Wenzel, is her motivation for the doing the story. Other workers on the project agree with Wenzel. "People need to know exactly what happened," said Carlie Cottam, unit production manager. The motion pictures department is hoping that they can show their audience just that. Its a story that needs to be told," said Cottam. for Rebel Awards The annual Rebel Awards Program and Banquet is scheduled for April 16, 2001, in the Gardner Center Ballroom.
