And probably you've wondered wondered just how on earth some lucky photographer managed to catch that scene. Well, luck may have played a part in the final photograph. But you can bet that skill and knowledge combined to play an even bigger role. Hie best way to capture fast-action photos is to be prepared. prepared. If you go out looking for action, armed with the proper equipment and mental attitude, attitude, you're much more likely to return with some quality - action shots. To begin with, where you shoot your action photos is much less critical than how you shoot them. Action is everywhere. On the highway and sidewalk. Inside and out. Across the gangway and across the world. There's rarely a shortage of opportunity. opportunity. Get ready for the action by choosing your film with care. A slow film (one with a low ASA rating) will give you fine detail qndlowgrain, but at the loss of action-stopping ability. Give up some of that sharpness sharpness in exchange for a film that's fast enough to allow you to use a fast shutter speed on your adjustable camera. An ASA 400 film will allow you to shoot at f-5.6 and 1-1,000 second on a cloudy day, whereas an ASA 64 film at f-5.6 requires as exposure of 1-125 second. The 1-1,000 second speed will freeze just about any normal human activity ana a great many mechanical ones, while the 1-125 second speed is barely fast enough to freeze a fastwalker out for a leisurely stroll down the street. Don't get caught with too fast a film, though.

Once you've settled on the appropriate film, head out to where vou know the action will be unfolding. Then spend a little time studying the scene. See where most of the good motion takes place. Think about the best possible position position for you and your camera. This may vary from moment to moment as events unfold. At a local little league baseball baseball game, for instance, with two outs and nobody on base, the best position for some action shots may well be behind the home-plate backdrop. backdrop. From there, you'll have an excellent chance to freeze the pitch in mid-air and possibly possibly catch the batter swing- ingover it. The very next inning, with one out and a man on second base, the best position for action may well be next .to third base. Should the runner on second try to advance on a ground ball or attempt to steal third, you'll be right there to capture the action as the throw and runner arrive simultaneously. If your camera accepts interchangeable lenses, give careful thought to which Tens you use in any situation. A long focal-length lens (telephoto) (telephoto) has the advantage of Bringing a far-distant subject in nice and close, but it has the disadvantage of being heavy and bulky and may cause some camera-handling problems. problems. A telephoto lens also has shallow depth-of-field, or area of acceptable sharpness, which can result in out-offocus out-offocus shots unless you prefocus prefocus on the spot of action before the action unfolds. A short focal-length lens, (wide angle) is lighter and easier to handle and also offers greater depth-of-field, which makes critical focusing unnecessary. This is important when shooting fast action, as you rarely have time to spend turning the focusing ring on the lens. Of course, the image will be much smaller than with a telephoto, so you should be closer to the action to compensate. compensate. Another excellent means of freezing action--even with an inexpensive non-adjustable camera -- is by using electronic flash. Electronic flash features a duration that may range from 1-1,000 - 1-40,000 second or faster. That's more than fast enough to illuminate a split second in time and "freeze 1 ' tne subject. 4-H Sheep Club Elects Officers By Ken Down The 1981 Durham 4H Sheep Club had its first meeting on Easter Monday evening, at the Agricultural Office in Bowmanville with 18 members present.

Well design design a bouquet to fit her personality leipinq qou saq il rig ■ ■n flamy A one man crusade to turn the Bowmanville Creek valley into a picturesque park is underway. Twenty-eight year old Dave Lawson's dream is to see the park , become a groomed area where people can enjoy it as a recreation spot for family picnics, sport fishing, walking, jogging, birdwatching and other outdoor outdoor activities. He also believes believes that beautification of the area would be a definite asset to the town. A Chrysler trim plant worker in Ajax, he has been tossing around the idea of the creek valley becoming a park since last year. But it wasn't until this January an incident occurred which sparked him into action. Over the winter, the town apparently used portions of the valley as a disposal site for. road washes. Mr. Lawsbti lives in the Waverley area which overlooks overlooks the creek valley. Dumping Dumping of the wastes raised his ire. Since moving to Bowmanville, Bowmanville, he has recognized the valley's landscape as an uncultivated potential. When the town began using it as a dumping station, he could no longer tolerate the possibility its future could be in jeopardy. In his mind's eye, Mr. Lawson sees his two sons throwing fishing poles over their shoulders and striking out for beautiful Bowmanville Creek. He.doesn't want to see it become a dump site, a haven for poachers or reach a state of neglect where nobody would ever entertain the idea of preserving it. It seems only fitting that someone should initiate this clean-up project. Bowmanville Bowmanville Creek (Barber's Creek) which flows into the valley over the dam where the town's first mill was built actually constituted the nucleus of the hamlet which became the town as we know it today. Pioneer John Burke, who built the first mill circa 1824, would likely turn over in his grave if he were to see the creek valley today. Certainly in its present condition, it is no credit to the community. The mud road beside the creek is riddled with deep ruts caused, in part, from four wheel drive vehicles ripping through the area on the unkempt cow path. Trees and bushes grow wantonly and uncared for. Poachers abound. Killing suckers and leaving them to rot there provides a sick pastime for some. Mr. Lawson is one person Who recognizes the situation. Spearheading the challenging project, he has talked to council and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Authority (CLOCA). He has been gathering information concerning concerning the necessary requirements requirements to get this project off the ground. Mr. Lawson will go before council again this week seeking not only their stamp of approval but rights to a 19'A acre town owned parcel in the creek area. CLOCA has agreed to offer their co-operation in connection connection with the project, providing providing all environmental regulations regulations are met, At the moment, Mr. Lawson says progress hinges on, whether or not the town will turn the 19'<■ acre parcel over to CLOCA who would in turn maintain the area once it was converted to a park area. Although CLOCA is prepared to offer technical advice and guidance toward the building of a park, they will provide no funding, Therefore, next to approval from the town, financing ranks second on the priority list. Mr. LaWSOll is nh'nnrtv one step ahead of approval from council. He is in tne process of organizing a Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association and a meeting is scheduled for those interested this Thursday in Bowmanville's police building. building. Although ! it will be a non-profit association, Mr. Lawson anticipates the organization organization will generate sufficient sufficient revenue which will go toward cleaning up the creek area. Already a Rainbow Trout Derby is scheduled for April 25th commencing at 12:01 a.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m. All fish must be caught legally in Bowmanville Creek and $5 entry forms must be purchased purchased before April 24th. A weigh-in station will be located located on |Hwy. Two across from Tim's Rent-All. The winner of tfe^'rby will receive A iropi : j5!f.ir?all other monies raised'wili be used to clean up the creek. An avid •fisherman himself, Mr. Law- son sees the derby as only one of the many ways in which funds can be raised to get the project going. He admits he has not yet contacted any of the town's service clubs for support. When and if council approval is received, he will firm up more definite plans which will serve as a long range guideline guideline toward the completion of the mammoth project. Mr. Lawson believes it is an undertaking that is long overdue overdue and can't quite understand understand why somebody or some group hasn't already initiated it. He will go before council this week with a petition containing approximately 1000 names of people who would also like to see Bowmanville Creek valley become an attractive park area. Although Mr. Lawson recognizes recognizes thje enormity of the project, he stated, "I'm prepared prepared to go to the end on this thing." fy)tO Precious...

Moreover, the greater progress may lie in the area of prevention. This message was delivered during an address by Dr. Richard Hasselback at a special luncheon April 9th the Lions Centre jointly sponsored sponsored by the local branen of the Canadian Cancer Society and Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville. It was a cancer education meeting and the guest speaker touched on various aspects of the disease, pertinent statistics and current current cancer research programs. programs. Dr. Hasselback is an assistant professor in the department department of medicine at the University of Toronto and is a specialist in internal medicine with a particular interest in hematology and oncology. He is a volunteer with the Canadian Canadian Cancer Society and his work at the Princess Margaret Hospital involves caring for patients with leukemia, lymphomas and breast cancer. His work in research is concerned with the different ways of treating cancer patients. An audience of about 200 were told that 30 per cent of all Canadians will get cancer sometime in their lives. Of those afflicted, 20 per cent will die from the disease. , Of the more than 100 kinds of cancer, the doctor said that breast cancer tops the list amongst women while the incidence of lung cancer is the highest in men. He added that the occurrence rate of lung cancer in women is growing so rapidly it will soon overtake breast cancer as number one. Dr. Hasselback said researchers researchers have found that cancer is a geographic disease. A certain type of cancer cancer will occur prominently in one country while the incidence incidence of it will be very low to almost non-existent in another country. While cancer of the liver in Canada is rare, it ranks number one in China. Researchers link geographic geographic environment and dietary intake in close corelation corelation to the incidence of the various types of cancer. He said the disease occurs more frequently amongst a population population that indulges in high intakes of meat and animal fat. "It has been proven that 80 per cent of all cancer is related to elements in our environment," he stated. Dr. Hasselback spoke about Canada's ongoing research program with bone marrow transplants used in the treatment treatment of acute leukemia patients. He explained the key to successful bone marrow transplant treatment is that a patient have a compatible donor such as a brother or sister. Testing with this treatment is relatively new in relation to long term results, however, since it was begun at Princess Margaret Hospital, not a single acute leukemia patient has yet suffered a relapse. Nonetheless, Dr. Hasselback said it's too early to say whether it can be considered a The audience was told that advances made in the treatment treatment of cancer over the past few years are adversely offset by the rising incidence of lung cancer in women. While it seems that the overall cancer rate is growing, it is primarily increasing in this one major area. Although the general statistics don't look much better better than in the past, progress has been made through research research dollars gathered oy the Canadian Cancer Society. The incidence of certain types of cancer through prevention and treatment programs has dropped. Dr. Hasselback reminded the group that 55 to 60 cents of each dollar raised by the society goes toward the support support of cancer research. The speaker advocated a change in the Canadian lifestyle lifestyle if we are to reduce the incidence of cancer in this country. He recommended the elimination of cigarette smoking, smoking, a good exercise regimen and a sensible dietary intake as important factors not only in the prevention of cancer but many other serious diseases as well.
