Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, August 22-24, 2018 The Park Record C-7 ‘Hinckley Report’ returns LOOKING TO EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS? Submitted by KUED “The Hinckley Report,” KUED’s weekly series providing an unbiased examination of local and national issues affecting Utahns, returns for a third season at 7:30 p.m. on Friday nights, beginning Sept. 7. The series repeats at 11 a.m. on Sundays. In partnership with The University of Utah Hinckley Institute of Politics, the series, hosted by Institute Director Jason Perry, provides a spectrum of viewpoints and analysis by a weekly guest panel. Says Perry, “There really is nothing like ‘The Hinckley Report’ in the state of Utah. Every single week, we get to hear from the experts about the issues impacting Utahns. There is an energy around the show that comes from hearing from the experts. You go away informed. You go away wanting to become engaged, and hopefully, you learn a few things.” According to Perry, this is a season viewers won’t want to miss. “We have a historic election coming, with a record number of initiatives on the ballot that everyone in the state will be talking about,” he says. COURTESY OF KUED Hinckley Institute Director Jason Perry hosts “The Hinckley Report” that will return to KUED, starting Friday, Sept. 7. On Friday, Sept. 21, “The Hinckley Report” will present an hour-long look at ballot initiatives before Utah voters including medical marijuana, Better Boundaries initiative (Proposition 4), and Medicaid expansion. “It’s meaningful to me that we can bring these local topics, stories, and insights to viewers on a weekly basis,” says KUED Director of Content Lisa Olken. “Local programming is most successful when it’s relevant, insightful, original, and speaks to Utahns. ‘The Hinckley Report’ does just that.” The series has become popular not only among viewers, but also among local politicians and policymakers. One KUED sustaining member applauded The Hinckley Report for providing “the most depth and analysis of the state legislative sessions I have ever seen” and called the discussions moderated by Perry “civil and very informative.” For information, visit www. kued.org.

This mantra by writer Joseph Campbell has guided Leon Joseph Littlebird throughout his 67 years on Earth. Littlebird is fortunate in the fact that he has always known what his bliss is and has had the passion to let it guide him through life. “For me, it’s my music,” he said. He is a well-known Summit County, Colorado, musician, playing gigs around town, weddings and benefits. He recently retired as a ski instructor at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, where he had worked for over 10 years and skied for the last 64. Now he supports himself with music — which, along with skiing, is his ultimate passion in life. But he admits that he’s fortunate in the fact that he’s always known exactly what he has wanted to do. “To have the opportunity to follow your bliss is phenomenal, but you first have to know what your bliss is,” he said. “So I’ve tried to make my life an inspiration to other people to find your bliss.” To know him is to know his incredible enthusiasm for life, even as he struggled with a rare form of leukemia off and on over the past two decades. A bout with pneumonia in November 2015 landed him in the hospital for 21 days — to also find out that on top of that his leukemia had relapsed. But that never changed his incredible outlook on life. In fact, it has only strengthened it. “I’ve had to learn a lot about healing in the last 20 years, not because it was my bliss or because I set out to do it, but because I got really sick. When I was first diagnosed with leukemia 20 years ago, it was so —,” he pauses, thinking. “I have a completely different relationship with leukemia now then I did 20 years ago.” From the beginning Littlebird is the definition of a local, born and raised in Summit County, Colorado, with a Navajo heritage from this area that goes back several generations. His great grandparents were the original settlers of Black Hawk and Central City, he said. His grandfather was born in Central City in 1863, and his father was born in Silver Plume in 1899. So what does it take to be a local? “It helps to be born here,” he said, his robust laugh filling the room. Twenty years ago, he was a competitive athlete in extreme skiing, training every day and also running a successful consulting business. Suddenly, he got sick, and doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. He was misdiagnosed for a year, given steroids which “really made me sicker,” before he was told he had a rare form of leukemia called hairy cell leukemia. Doctors then started him on an aggressive chemotherapy regimen that pumped the drugs straight into his heart 24/7 for a week straight. “Holistic treatments and alternative treatments 20 years ago were so strange they were like witchcraft or voodoo,” Littlebird said. “They were not mainstream at all, and it was so out there that the little research I could do didn’t give me any confidence that I should go that way.” Please see Cannabis, C-12 Exclusive.
