LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A deputy warden and two
guards were fired, 14 guards were suspended and two
administrators demoted Monday for their conduct dur-
ing riots last month at the state prison in Jackson, the
Department of Corrections said.
Five more employees under investigation could also
face disciplinary action, Department Director Perry
Johnson told a news conference.
Fired was Willie Cason, deputy warden in charge of
the medium security Northside Unit at the State Prison
of Southern Michigan, according to Johnson. Cason
would have marked his 14th year with the state Correc-
tions Department on June 25.
Also fired was Jerry Fryt, president of the guards’
union, the Michigan Corrections Organization,
Johnson said.
Cason allegedly had information that a second riot
was brewing at Jackson three days after the first inmate
uprising on May 22, Johnson said.
“This information was not brought to the attention
of warden Barry Mintzes as it should have been, nor
were appropriate steps taken to verify the danger or pre-
vent it,” Johnson said.
Northside inmates slatted the second riot on May 26.
Fryt was fired for allegedly leading an unauthorized
attempt to “lock down” the world’s largest walled
prison on May 22.

some things that will be quite touching,” he said. But
O’Rourke acknowledges that the way the final movie
turns out depends on what arrives in the mail.
“What I’d like to do is show what people have been
doing in this country. Il will move very fast, unlike
home movies, which tend to be slow. And it would have
some themes,” O’Rourke said. “People with their new
cars. Baby’s first steps. Prom night.”
“There won’t be any actors and there won’t be any
voices except the people who are in the movies we use,”
O’Rourke says.
He figures the final movie will end up with a PG, or
parental guidance, rating because he hopes to include
semi daring footage of girls next door taken by the boys
who were nutty about them.
Risher said that compilation of home movies will
continue for several weeks. Editing of “American
Life” is scheduled for August and September and the
film should be released around Christmas.
creating five regional boards to set and enforce local
policies. For the first time, large-scale water users had
to get permits. And the boards may impose controls on
water use.
Because of the Water Act, blighted waterways like
Biscayne and Tampa bays are getting cleaner. The
Apalachicola River has a new lease on life mainly
because it is being left alone. And the St. John River,
which lost much of its floodplain to developers, may get
some of the land back through purchases sought by
water managers.
“The restorative powers of earth are fascinating if
you just give it a chance,” said conservationist Marjorie
Carr, president of the Florida Defenders of the En-
vironment. But she and other environmentalists are
cautious.
Graham has pushed lor a nickel increase in the 40-
cent documentary stamp tax on every $100 in land pur-
chases, with the new revenues going to buy floodplains
and marshes. And his cabinet rejected a request to drill
for natural gas in a sensitive Panhandle estuary.
But he also approved a $16 million drainage plan to
allow more farming in Hendry County, a plan that con-
servationists say will jeopardize water and wildlife.

Water worries hit Florida
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Bubbling with spr-
ings, speckled by lakes and blessed with ample rain,
Florida has water, plenty of water, but not everywhere,
and many drops are unfit todrink.
Some 10,000 miles of rivers and streams and 7,000
lakes mark the peninsula, and springs gurgle up some 7
billion gallons of pure water daily. Underfoot is a
porous foundation estimated to hold 100 times as much
water as Lake Mead behind the Hoover Dam.
Nevertheless, this spring’s drought prompted man-
datory water use curbs of up to 25 percent in southern
Florida for a time and triggered voluntary limits
elsewhere. Lawns turned brown, cars went unwashed
and in some places giant sinkholes opened up.
Mandatory curbs are over for now, with the advent
of the rainy season, but the drought continues, and con-
cern over the state of the state’s water is rippling beyond
a few wary environmentalistsand sportsmen.
“We’re using more water than we get, and sooner or
later we’re going to be brought to account for that,”
said John Betz, a biologist at the University of South
Florida. “As the population has grown, the use of
water has grown tremendously.”
In 20 years, Florida’s population has doubled to
nearly 10 million. It is projected to reach 20 million by
the year 2000, as more people are lured by the state’s
warm climate and 1,000 miles of ocean coast.
So far, most growth has been in southern coastal
cities and in central Florida’s belt of tourist attractions.
But much of the state’s fresh water is in northern
Florida.
In addition, development has ruined many of
nature’s ways of preserving and protecting fresh water.
Wetlands have been drained, streams rerouted and
lakes used for sewage. Industry has taken over
floodplains. Rainwater rushes into the sea, prevented
from soaking into the ground by acres of concrete.
Some environmentalists say state officials have smil-
ed on growth at any cost. But Gov. Bob Graham says
the state-which passed a wide-ranging water use act
after the 1971 drought, the worst in modern Florida
history—has changed its ways.
“I believe there is a high level of public recognition
that effective water management is a key to the future
of Florida,” he said. “This attitude has been growing
since the 1960s. Until then, water policy was a policy of
discharge, of getting the water off the land so the land
could be used.”
There is much to do: many canals in southern Florida
are brackish and filled with bacteria. Filth has wiped
out oysters in Tampa Bay. Lake Apopka in central
Florida, once a bass fisherman’s paradise, is virtually a
septic tank.
Most of the state’s 54-inch annual rainfall—second
in the nation only to Louisiana’s 55 inches—occurs
from June through September. The dry months are a
struggle for southern Florida. Many over-taxed wells
suck salt water from the sea. Even Biscayne Aquifer,
the area’s chief freshwater source, is tainted with salt.
The 1972 Water Resource Act, prompted by 1971 ’s
drought, established a statewide water policy and

The project, tentatively titled “American Life, is to
■ be a 90-niinute feature film built of spliced segments of
I eal home movies.
I O’Rourke, a former editor-in-chief of The National
’ 1 ampoon, had the idea for the 1 ilm, and New Line
M inema, a production and distribution company,
Mumped at it.
“We thought P.J.’s idea was very funny,” said Sara
Risher, New Line’s vice president for production. “It
. could be true Americana.”
I New line recently produced “Polyester,” in
“odorama,” starring Tab Hunter and Divine. Now,
through American Life Productions, New Line is offer-
fl ing $500 a minute for home movie footage—but only if
■ it is used in the final O’Rourke film.
■ The project was announced last week, and reels of
I home movies are already piling up at the American Lite
I Productions-New Line Cinema office at 799 Broadw ay.
Risher describes the project as “very funny,” while
■ O’Rourke describes it with phrases like “vast scope ...
■ entire range of human emotions.”

Home movies to make film
NEW YORK (AP) — Pssst. Remember those home

Mess than a couple of million dollars. Five hundred

Maid P I O’Rourke, who’s making a movie of home
