Park City, United States: A revealing and moving behind-the-scenes documentary about Mitt Romney's unsuccessful run for the US presidency sheds new light on the Republican big-hitter and his family.

"Mitt," directed by Greg Whiteley, made its premiere at the independent Sundance Film Festival, which runs until January 26 in Park City, in the mountains of Utah.

The film, shot over a period of six years to 2012, tracks in intimate detail Romney's failed run for the Republican nomination and later his unsuccessful attempt to unseat President Barack Obama.

It is to be distributed by the Netflix digital platform and enjoys significant access to the Romney family - to the surprise of even Whiteley himself.

Whiteley admits: "Often, I had to pinch myself, 'How did I get here?"

The answer: thanks to Tagg, one of Romney's five children, whom the filmmaker met through a mutual acquaintance.

But even then there was resistance.

"I told him about my idea. Tagg said yes, his father said no. But his mother (Ann Romney) said yes." That tipped the balance, the director told AFP after the film's debut at Sundance (on Saturday?), which was attended by Romney.

Whiteley's original idea was simple: follow the campaign to secure the Republican nomination and, if elected, accompany him during the presidential run.

"I was interested in making a film about a Mormon(Romney's religion) wanting to become president," said Whiteley, himself a Mormon.

Twoweeks into the new smoke-free zone in Nee Soon South, Singapore's first to be led by the grassroots, smokers are still not budging.

When resident volunteers trained by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) took to the streets for the first time on Thursday night to cajole smokers into using the six smoking "sheds" rather than puff away in the open, some listened out of politeness while others scurried away from them.

Sporting T-shirts emblazoned with "I Love Quitters" on the front, four middle-aged volunteers - all non-smokers - gamely made their way around Nee Soon South Zone D's 28 blocks to speak to smokers.

The smoke-free zone covers communal spaces in the area, including Yishun Stadium and Yishun Sports and Recreation Centre. It is part of a one-year pilot that may be extended throughout Nee Soon South if residents support it.

With two photographs, Bill Norris can show the benefit of native grass plantings in his south Lincoln neighborhood.

One picture shows muddy-looking water running off the street and into a drain. The other photo shows clear water coming from a pipe.

The difference, said Norris, is likely the cleansing action of a stand of native grass planted in Aspen Greens, a housing area south of Pine Lake Road and west of 56th Street.

The Aspen Greens' stormwater management projectis a series of four earthen weirs, or ridges of soil that act like mini dams, and the native grasses planted between them. The project slows runoff, allowing more of it to soak into the ground.

In the future, under new rules being considered by the City Council, developers of larger projects in Lincoln would be required to install stormwater management structures to keep runoff from racing straight for the nearest stream and taking with it urban pollution such asdog poop, fertilizer and herbicidesfrom hundreds of yards.

Slow it down, spread it out and let it soak is the motto for producing cleaner runoff and thus cleaner streams and rivers.

The council is expected to vote Jan. 27 on the rules, which would apply to developers of projects that cover more than an acre.

But critics question the cost and challenge the science involved.

No one has studied the effects on water quality of bigger detention and retention ponds, weirs and stands of grass or permeable paving, says Mark Hunzeker, a Lincoln attorney who represents area developers.

The inability to measure specific effects of these structures is part of the reason the federal government hasn't set nationwide standards, Hunzeker said.
