Thus began another day in the unpredictable world of television news for Karen Cams, recently chosen from more than 500 women broadcasters from Los Angeles to Portthe KTVX land, Maine, to Channel 4 news with Phil Riesen. Every evening, Ms. Cams, 29, looks over the scripts for the station's 5:30 and 10 p.m. newscasts, picks out b names like Schleegenmilk and and rehearses them until they sound as smooth as but still fail to see how we manage to keep the sun from going down any shorter? i New Kid on Block Takes Anchor Task Like a Vet Barberi! seems ... toIf this column earlier than mP'WTyu Chosen From Hundreds for TV Job Sunday, April 28, 1985 The Salt Lake Tribune, 2B Mm ...

You Live, Let Live If everything doesn't go as planned, and "Schleegenmilk sounds more like Schmuckomilk," well, theres nothing that can be done except to tackle "Swareddahab" with a vengeance. If theres one lesson Ms. Cams has learned from experience, its that one has to live and let live when working on live television. Anything can, and usually does, happen in the business most of us call broadcasting, but broadcasters call marriage. It's been said that when television news people finally get around to saying, Hi, honey. I'm home, the test patterns have started their late-nigrun on the tube, and dinner is no longer warming in the oven, but is covered with foil in the refrigerator. Tomorrows leftovers. Easier in SLC Or in a television anchor's case, next week's dinner. Yes, its a hectic life, but at least, in Salt Lake City, I'm able to see my husband more than three times a year, said Ms. Cams. Was dinner really in the refrigerator that long? Well, theres an explanation, she said. I lived in Minneapolis at the time, anchoring the morning and weekend news, and my husband lived in Philadelphia, working with the Forest Service at Valley Forge. There werent any national parks in Minneapolis. Come to think of it, there werent a lot of things in Minneapolis. Im glad were both in Salt Lake City now, so we can finally get to know each other." So far, her husband, Larry Stumpf, hasn't complained about his wife's toothbrushing habits and he doesn't mind her hectic work schedule. After all, he is just as busy, but works in a more peaceful environment, as a ranger at Timpanogos National Monument in Utah County. Long Drive, Hike Larry drives 75 miles to work, then has to walk 24 miles up the hill each day," said Ms. Cams. I like exercise too, but Im often glad my job involves sitting behind the set instead Tribune Stott Photo bv Van Porter Karen Cams, the new at Channel 4 in Salt Lake City, relaxes with her husband, Larry, and dog, Kami. of lacing up my hiking boots every morning. Larry can live in the outdoors like Gandhi, with a bowl and an extra shirt, and I need to live with a roof over my head. We balance each other out. She met Larry over the vegetable counter at a health food store, where he was working at the time. I asked him if I had to pay for the greens on some beets and he took them off for me. she said. "Weve been together ever since. Romantic, huh?" No newcomer to the television business, Ms. Cams started her career in broadcasting as soon as she graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, with a bachelors degree in consumer affairs. She was a guest on a consumer-oriente- d talk show in Columbus, Ga., and shortly afterward became the shows host, when the regular host quit. Asked for walked in and askeJ for the job, and they gave it to me, said Ms. Cams. "I was cheap pay at the time." The talk show was filmed live outdoors and there were many days d when viewers received a few surprises. Kids would play ball behind us. sometimes pelting us with baseballs. I unex-oecte- recalled Ms. Cams, and- once in a while, Id spill something on my suit, minutes before air time. Once, I had to quickly change into an evening gown I had in my car, to do the show. I think I was talking about plumbing or something, and there I was, dressed to the teeth. From Georgia, she went to WFMY-Tin Greensboro, N.C., to work as a morning anchor and later was hired in Minneapolis, where by KSTP-Tshe worked for two years, until she was hired by KTVX. Out of Nowhere It's kind of funny how John Edwards KTVX news director heard about me, and saw my tape, she said. The station had looked at over 500 tapes and had narrowed the gap to 50 anchorwomen. My tape was lost in the shuffle, beneath some commerhe hadn't cial tapes on Johns desk even seen my promo tape, yet. Just by chance, he saw the tape, played it and gave me a call. I came out of nowhere. Station management liked Karen the moment they saw her and knew she was the person for the job. "She was picked for as much the type of r abiliperson she is, as for her ties, said Mr. Edwards. "She is a tireless worker and is excited about on-ai- Ms. Cams was hired from a Minneapolis television station after working at stations in Georgia and North Carolina. being in Salt Lake City and getting involved with the community. At her desk in the crowded KTVX newsroom, surrounded by ringing telephones and a yellow rose blooming amid the madness, Ms. Cams looked like a veteran at the station, instead of the new kid on the block." Oblivious to Chaos Wearing a red silk dress and flat leisure shoes (she forgot her pumps), she calmly typed and rehearsed the night's headlines, oblivious to the chaos going on around her. W'ould somebody get that phone, shouted one reThe of Midvale is on town porter. fire! shouted another. Hey, get a move on it, guys, weve got 25 minutes until air time!" hollered a producer. Ms. Cams borrowed 35 cents for the soft drink machine, fending off jokes about anchors not getting paid enough, these days. Hey, she responded. "All I have is a twenty. Anybody have 80 quarters? Twenty minutes' before air time, she sipped her cola and struggled with Schleegenmilk. The first page of the nights scripts read. "Good evening. Im Karen Cams. And. I'm Phil Riesen. So far, neither anchor has read the wrong line. Ten minutes before air time, she sprayed her hair with Miss Breck. on the set and joined her read her scripts again. The new set was lit up like a flying saucer ready for takeoff. Five minutes before air time, a producer rushed in to announce "major, major, major script changes. Midvale really was on fire. One building, anyway. Good evening. I'm Karen Cams . . . It was too late to turn back, now. Forty-twthousand households were tuned in. o After the opening, reporter Alyson Heyrend dashed in to tell the stations new that the right side of her hair was sticking up. Pat it down, pat it down. She patted it down and the rest of the newscast went smoothly, including live coverage of the Midvale fire and the pronunciation of Schlecgen-milk.- " After the show, Ms. Cams leaned against her desk and finished her cola. Well." she said, that's one down, and one to go. If I can get through 'Schleegenmilk,' I suppose I can get through anything. . . . . . . . . . . . . . WRESTLI.XG . BAD GITS . .

Garn also returned to earthly concerns to criticise the Air Force, asses NASA and state positions on political topics.

Speaking about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for which Sen. Garn controls the budget. he repeated promises to cut costs at NASA. But Sen. Garn said the ability to make cuts stems from federal practices, not NASA shortcomings, and be said he will work toward revamping those methods. The senator also disputed the expenses allegedly created by his trip. He said that training costs, estimated at between $75,000 and $100,000 were static expenses incurred whether he went on the space mission or not. Even if those costs were attributable to him. he has paid his passage in other ways. Sen. Garn contended. "I have already saved more than that," Sen. Garn said.
