Wayne Clarke has ran 137,352 gallons
of water through two small carbon fil¬
ters during the past seven weeks and is.
still waiting for something to happen.
Clarke, a graduate student at CSUF
who also works on the water surveillance
crew for the Fresno County Health
Department, to testing carbon filters to
see how long the filters will continue to
remove DBCP from the water run
through them. <
It to hoped that these carbon filters
can be used to filter the hundreds- of
wells in central California that have
been found to have more than one part
per billion (ppb) of DBCP, the level the
state. health department says is dan¬
gerous.
DBCP is a pesticide that has been
determined to have caused sterility in
. factory workers fa addition to being lin¬
ked to cancer in laboratory test animals.
The use of DBCP as a pe-ticide was ban¬
ned by the federal government te 1977.
Clarke set up the filters and pump
at the Shade Lakes Mobile Home" Park
in south Fresno. The health department
ran' a DBCP test on. the park's
water and found that it contained 20
ppb of DBCP, Clarke said.
The mobile home part waa the ided
place to set up the filters because there
is a lake there where the water can be
pumped into after it is run through the
filters, Clarke explained.
The pumps run 24 hours a day, forc¬
ing two gallons of water through the
filters every minute. And once a week
-Clarke goes out to the park and takes
water samples. Every Saturday morning
he spends about two hours in a chem¬
istry lab at CSUF extracting the DBCP
from the water. * -
Clarke is attempting to find out how
much water the carbon filters provided
by the Central Valley Culligin Co.,
a soft-water company, will filter before
the filtering material starts to break
down and let DBCP through.
"These filters are supposed to fast
from three month* to two years,"
according to faformation from the EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency)
Clarke said. "So I could be doing thi*
(running the testa) for * long time —'
maybe even another year."
Clarke, who graduated from CSUF in
1976 with a BS te Health Science, said
he was looking for a project for his
master's thesis when the DBCP contro¬
versy popped up. .'■'..:'.
Even if the carbon filters do prove to
eliminate the DBCP te the water, Clarke '
said that there is still not going to be an
easy solution to the problem, pel—dry

Stuttering-
no cure but
confidence
by Tom Brfason
About one percent of the population of
this country to afflicted with a speech
impediment that caused same to avoid
certain words and others to avoid life
situations.
The problem is stuttering. No one is
really sure What causes it, according to
Dr. Donald Wilson of the CSUF Com¬
municative Disorders Department, but
stuttering is definitely associated with
different crisis fa people's lives.
"Most stuttering begins shortly after
speech begins, usually the result of a
poor relationship between child and
parents. Too many demands for good
speech snd good behavior and too little
good listening to the child starts it off.
"Most children want SO—eons to lis¬
ten to them when they ara young, and in
our life of ______ and schedules we
may not take the time to listen," Wilson
adds
Acccnafag to. Wilson, stuttering pro¬
blem* that' began in __dhootl do not
always go away.
"There are a lot of adults who stutter.
It's a problem that's very difficult to
work with ta adults because speech pat¬
terns ara more ingrained. Stuttering
differs in degrees with different people.
Most adult stutterers function well and
•ome get better a* they work on it.
Others stutter only te psrtim1st situa¬
tions,'Wilson aaid.
"Mel Tilli* (country and western
singer) is an example of this. When he is
doing •oto*_fag he feel* comfortable
with, like singing, he doesn't stutter,"
heaaid.
Wilson said that all stutterers can
learn to talk with more confidence and
less dottoring, .Jthough there fa -no
actud cure for st^rttering.
