Nielson, who has since retired, said, "Nebo was so impressed with Babbitt that they recognized her for her integrity and for getting all the facts straight." This was the first award they had given to a reporter. Babbitt has since retired from her full-time job as a reporter. Volunteer drivers needed During 2004, an estimated 6,300 residents of Utah will learn that they have cancer. Because of advances in medical research, there will be cures for many. Getting to the cures, however, may be a problem. One cancer patient requiring radiation therapy could need anywhere any-where from 20 to 30 trips to the medical facility in six weeks. A patient receiving chemotherapy might report for treatment weekly for up to a year. In many cases, a patient is drive to hospitals or clinics by relatives rela-tives or friends, but even these patients must occasionally seek alternative al-ternative transportation. That is where the American Cancer Society's Soci-ety's Road to Recovery program comes in. Road to Recovery is a program where volunteers drive patients to treatment centers and home again. The Central Utah Area ACS office located in Orem is trying to recruit more volunteer drivers to insure that all patients have transportation when they need it. They already have some great volunteers giving rides to patients, pa-tients, but the number of patients in need of rides is increasing. They simply need more drivers to accommodate this need. Road to Recovery volunteers arrange their own schedules, with some drivers volunteering as little as one afternoon a month and other driving patients as often as two or three times a week. Whatever What-ever time the volunteer can give is great! If people have a car and some spare time, they can help someone keep a lifesaving appointment. appoint-ment. They will be holding a one hour volunteer driver training on Tuesday, July 20, at the Orem office located at 255 E. 930 South. The meeting will start at noon and go until 1 p.m. Lunch will be served. Those who wan to volunteer to become a driver are asked to call the ACS office at 373-5886 to sign up for the training meeting. Volunteers Vol-unteers will need to bring a valid driver's license and a copy of their car insurance to the meeting.

SNELSON PHOTOCOLOR LAB Zoom lenses are a versatile way to carry a wide array of focal lengths in your bag without with-out the expense and volume of a bunch of wide-angle and tele-photo tele-photo lenses. Zoom lenses have a variable focal length. For example you could buy a zoom lens that covers cov-ers the focal lengths ranging from 28mm to 80mm and another an-other that covers the range from 80mm to 210mm or even longer and have only two lenses lens-es that go from wide-angle to relatively long telephoto, including in-cluding the normal lens range. With a zoom lens it's easier to get precise framing for the picture you want without changing lenses as often. Some zoom lenses have a macro feature fea-ture built into them. This feature fea-ture allows you to do limited close-up work without the expense ex-pense of a macro lens. Plan on paying more for a zoom lens that maintains sharpness throughout its zoom range comparable to that of a fixed focal-length lens. Also be aware that because of complex lens designs with many elements there isanore a chance of stray light reflecting internally causing lens flare and ghost images. To minimize lens flare use a lens hood which blocks extraneous extra-neous light from entering the front element of the lens; use the smallest aperture that you can for the light you have available; avail-able; and be careful of your camera angle relative to your light source. Because of the variability of the focal length on a zoom lens, they usually lack a depth of field scale on the lens barrel. For that reason when using a zoom lens I recommend becoming becom-ing familiar with the aperture stop-down feature of your SLR. With the stop-down feature fea-ture you can actually see your depth of field of your scene through your viewfinder. The things I've explained in the last two articles concerning wide-angle and telephoto lenses lens-es apply to zoom lenses as well. When using a zoom lens with wide-angle to short telephoto capabilities the instructions for wide-angle to normal apply. ' When using a zoom lens with telephoto capabilities the instructions in-structions for telephoto lenses apply. Good quality zoom lenses, in my opinion, are a must for any photographer in the field. They, are more versatile and easier to carry. I would recommend your camera manufacture's name brand lenses in zoom ranges from at least 28mm to 210mm and if you plan on photographing photograph-ing wildlife you'll need at least 400mm. I'd like to mention here a neat, inexpensive tool for getting get-ting more focal length out of your normal and telephoto lenses. It's called a teleconverter. It's a simple barrel that goes between your camera and lens that extends the focal length or your lens 2 or 3 times depending depend-ing on the power of the converter. con-verter. A 2X converter for example converts a 100mm lens to a 200mm and a 3X converter will convert the same 100mm lens to a 300mm focal length lens. There are some disadvantages disadvan-tages though. A converter makes the effective lens opening open-ing smaller. A 2X converter reduces the effective lens opening by 2 stops and a 3X by 3 stops. For example, if your meter reads f8 for your scene and you are using a 2X converter your effective ef-fective lens opening is now f16. For a 3X converter it would be f22. The reduced lens opening also makes the viewfinder dimmer dim-mer and you may have difficulty difficul-ty using a high enough shutter Sage Creek PTA infoiTnation posted Sage Creek Elementary School PTA's bylaw renewal information in-formation and proposed budget for the 2004-2005 school year will be posted at the school for review by its members.

In addition, it's better to use a small lens opening to increase the image quality.
