RADIATION

John Holiday, 93, with son Albert, waits to talk to a constituent case worker from the office of congressman Jim Matheson about funding for a new wheel chair, at Montezuma Creek Elementary School, Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Holiday worked as a uranium miner in the area for 20 years as a young man. Workers from the office of Utah congressman Jim Matheson held sessins in Monticello and Montezuma Creek, Utah, to help constituents apply for government benefit programs. Though aid was available in applying for the Radiation Exposure Compensation Program, no one asked for the benefit in either location that day. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
