Developments last week seem .to indicate that problems which .have plagued the project since it was first proposed years ago may MIX. its demise. Reasons for is ; , yct spell the problems are many. Clearfield City Council voted last week to keep the refuse-Av- '" burning plant out of that city. A site on 700 South in Clearfield, "''adjacent to Hill Air Force Base, h ' had been proposed by the Wasatch Front Regional Council and Davis Solid Waste Management Board. c . :: ; ' ' Clearfield residents who live in the area have been fighting the project. The Clearfield site had the support of proponents of the project because of its prox-- t imity to Hill, a likely purchaser of steam generated by the burn plant. The Clearfield council may have acted too quickly in de-- 1 ciding against the project. A was made without information that could have been obtained at a meeting of the Solid Waste Management Board held last Tuesday just pri-;to the councils meeting. The 'vyaste management board, at its ."meeting, extended a deadline for 'cities to decide whether or not to participate in the garbage proj-- . de-cisi- on - or -- for a decision. But, it seems the only information that is not available is a firm confirmation that the project will work well that it will solve, at least for the foreseeable future, the problem of garbage disposal in the Davis County area. That assurance cannot be made with absolute certainty. The only certain fact is that the current mode of landfilling garbage is a relatively short-live- d method of disposal. If the countys landfills continue to be used at the current rate, their usefulness can continue for only another couple of decades. The system of garbage disposal is not a panacea and there can be no guarantees of its effectiveness. -- waste-to-ener- gy However, a unified approach, with all Davis County cities involved, would have a much better chance of success. Layton, Centerville and Bountiful have a attitude adopted a and officials in those cities seem method to be hoping a of garbage disposal will come along if they wait long enough. Thats not likely. And, while they wait, interest rates will probably continue to rise, making any project more expensive. Clearfield City has been faced with a different situation. The city was asked, not simply to agree to participate, but to provide the site for the plant, to al wait-and-s- fail-sa- fe to be built "in their back Allowing such a facility built within their city require a positive commitment on the part of the city low it yards. to be would fathers. It seems Clearfield had not been sold on the necessity of the project. That may be the fault of possibly overzealous proponents who have not wanted to admit to any possible failings of the project, and so have given the impression of not telling all." Cities have developed a suspicion that information was being withheld. Another point of contention is the possibility of allowing Roy City to participate in the project. Clearfield and Layton have been adamant in opposition to the idea. Officials in those cities have said the project should involve only Davis County. But, if officials in some Davis County cities refuse to participate, it seems to make sense to involve outside communities' in order to make the project successful. Some provision should have been made, if possible, to allow cities to join in the project for some time in the future. Reluctance of some cities to support the project may mean it will not be built or will be delayed considerably, two possibilities that may be cause for regret later. The idea deserves another chance. Letter Policy cct. Since part of Clearfields rea- soning in rejecting the project was that several cities in the county were not participating or had not decided, the council might have acted differently if that information had been available to council members. Clearfield city fathers have complained that not enough information has been made available to give adequate foundation ee The Lakeside Review encourages letters to the editor as a way of allowing citizens to speak out on issues that involve tie local community. deemed to be libelous or in bad taste.

But its easy when you finally meet him and he is cooperative and intelligent. The frightening part comes when you finally penetrate the layers of star protectors and are sitting face to face with a talented, actor you have previously met only through the pages of People and on a movie down-to-eart- h, good-looki- ng screen. Prior to interviewing Keith Carradine, the closest I had gotten to a celebrity was when I peered at Bob Hope while stationed safely behind a tree. When my editor suggested I interview Carradine, who was on location in Roy to shoot a CBS movie of the week Tuesday Weld, my first thought was how I could hide behind a tree and interview someone at the same time. She assured me I would have fun that it was a assignment most reporters would sell their pads and pencils for. Half hoping the answer would be no, I called the pro ng ke All letters must be signed by the author and accompanied by an address and phone number.

I from arrived at the set promptly at 9 and spent the next two hours getting a sunburn and watching Tuesday Weld attack the movies villain over and over and over. I also watched Carradine walk to Skaggs and return with a USA Today which he proceeded to read while I stood several feet away, frustrated by my inability to get permission to interview him. Nervous but determined, I approached a production assistant standing near Carradine and again asked if I could interview him. This time it worked. , Before I could convince myself that he was just a normal human being who breathes air and brushes his teeth at night, I was shaking hands with Carradine who invited me to sit down on an upturned trunk. ,. I managed to ask him how he liked Utah, but my heart was beating so fast I wondered if I would leave the interview alive. Within several minutes, I became so engrossed in his articulate answers that I started breathing again. By the time the interview ended, I realized that a star had turned into a human being. I also had learned a lesson. Its more fulfilling to confront your fears face to face than watch life go by from behind a tree. 9-- isfying.

We took our car to an authorized station for the auto emissions inspection in April as part of the prerequisite for registration. Later in the day, the service department called me and stated that our car failed the test and needed a tune-u- p to pass. I authorized the necessary work to be done. When I picked the car up, I noticed that the test results did ' not show that the car had initially failed the test.

Your May 2 article about the emissions inspections made me realize the importance of accurate reporting by those conducting the tests. Certainly, those who can gain from the failure to report failed test is not the consumer. It makes me wonder how the EPA accurately monitors what is reported. Ronald A.
