No significant out- side supporters have fi- nanced the effort, which comes as the state still is setting up a medical mar- ijuana system voters ap- proved by a wide margin two years ago. The medical marijua- na campaign in predom- inantly Mormon Utah, which has received $293,000 from the Mari- juana Policy Project, was jolted last week when Gov. Gary Herbert said he will call lawmakers into a special postelec- tion session to pass a compromise deal into law regardless of how the public vote goes. Medical marijuana also is on the ballot in Missouri and while the concept has significant support, voters may be confused by its ballot presentation. Supporters gathered enough signatures to place three initiatives be- fore voters. Two would change the state consti- tution; the third would amend state law. If all three pass, constitution- al amendments take pre- cedence over state law, and whichever amend- ment receives the most votes would overrule the other. An organizer of one amendment, Brad Brad- shaw, said it is unclear if having three initiatives could split supporters so In terms of special ef- fects, “First Man” tends to telescope tightly on what transpired in the cockpits, so brace your- self for lots of hand-held camera work from the as- tronauts’ point-of-view, as opposed to the awe-in- spiring God shots you ultimately get from the lunar surface. A fitting tribute to an American icon best re- membered as a humble, vulnerable soul with hu- man frailties. much that some or all of the proposals fail. “A lot of people don’t really even have this on the radar at this point,” he said. “They’re going to walk into the booth to vote and they’re going to see all three of these and say, ‘What the heck?’ You just don’t know how it’s going to play out.” Associated Press writ- ers Brady McCombs in Salt Lake City, James MacPherson in Bismarck, North Dakota, and Jim Salter in St. Louis contrib- uted to this report.

The movie’s somber tone is set not long past the point of departure when Neil and wife Jan- et’s (Claire Foy) two-year- old daughter Karen los- es her battle with brain cancer. In lieu of mourn- ing, he throws himself into his preparations for space flight, and his emotional unavailability puts an unspoken strain on their relationship. Meanwhile, the risks associated with the Gem- ini and Apollo programs only further intensify Armstrong’s palpable angst. After all, numer- ous astronauts died in accidents during train- ing, including his close friends Ed White (Jason Clarke) and Elliot See (Patrick Fugit). Affordable efficient security just for you!
