Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, January 31-February 2, 2018 The Park Record Lamott shares the power of truth with audiences C-3 LOCAL PROFESSIONAL LOCAL KNOWLEDGEABLE INTEGRITY PROFESSIONAL LOCAL RESOURCEFUL KNOWLEDGEABLE PROFESSIONAL Award-winning author will speak in Park City INTEGRITY ORGANIZED KNOWLEDGEABLE RESOURCEFUL INTEGRITY ORGANIZED RESOURCEFUL SCOTT IWASAKI ORGANIZED The Park Record Award-winning author, activist and speaker Anne Lamott has a message for the world. She wants everyone to know that there is truth and comfort out there. “I think people are starved for truth and information about how hard it is here on this funny blue marble sometimes, and how much more complex life is, [in opposed to] what we’re being fed in the world of advertising, which says we can instantly improve things by losing a few pounds or getting veneers on our teeth or any of those lies that are designed to get us to buy things.” The audience will hear Lamott’s findings when the Park City Institute presents her at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, 1750 Kearns Blvd. Lamott said her presentation will get to the truth of some painful issues and questions about life. “I do tend to talk about making friends with the face in the mirror, and seeing the beauty no matter what age or condition, so we can start from there and begin to do what we’re here on Earth what we are meant to do, which is live,” Lamott said.“People, including myself, like to hear that we are all complex, and that this life is not a TV show, but here are some things that can transform into healing and growth without being fixated on the numbers on the scale, or the face in the mirror.” Lamott plans to speak for about an hour about her writings, faith, hope and families, and then take questions from the audience. “There was a priest who helped Alcoholics Anonymous get off the ground and he said, ‘Heaven was just getting a new pair of glasses,’” Lamott said. “Sometimes when someone tells you what you recognize as truth, it’s as if they are handing you a new pair of glasses and you see the world as an expression of beauty, majesty, safety and comfort, instead of the obstacle course SUZY HANNEY SUZY HANNEY It’s essential to have a local, knowledgeable professional as a resource to help you with It’s essential to have a local, knowledgeable SUZY HANNEY professional as a resource to help you with It’s have a local, buying or selling youressential buying to oryour selling needs.knowledgeable Please give needs.

The truth really has to do with not bringing any more objects to the obstacle course.” Getting to the truth is easier than people think, according to Lamott. “Sometimes someone will say something or I’ll read a passage or hear something in the express line at [the grocery store] and it will just resonate and stop me in my tracks,” she said. The truth, Lamott said, can change a person’s outlook on life. “It’s an incredible gift for someone to show you a way to adjust your thinking so you’re not on the fear station or judgment station all the time,” she said. “We can shift that ticker tape of living defensively into gentling your mind so you’re a little more neutral and not thinking about all the many ways you may die today.” The truth Lamott has found is there are many caring people in the world. “They don’t make it on the news because what they do is not interesting, but one thing I like to talk about is how much help there is out there,” she said. “That’s kind of not like the American way, which is basically to do it yourself and stick it out. But the spiritual world is about community and what Hen- ry Nolan called, the Precious Community, where people will notice you’re in distress and ask you if you need help or how you can help them.” Lamott will also talk about her writings, including her new book, “Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy.” “When I talk about writing, I always tell people the importance of messes, failures and mistakes, which is something you will not see in commercials,” she said. “In my family, which was kind of a mess, to make a mistakes or to fall short was awful, but to be an artist or a writer or even a parent is to make lots of mistakes and fall on your butt, but also see that the community will lift you back to your feet. Life is much more sweeter place if we can stop the anxiety and defensiveness that is often based on childhoods that taught us to be scared and perfectionists.” The Park City Institute will present award-winning author and TED speaker Anne Lamott at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, 1750 Kearns Blvd. Lamott is known for her frank and intimate discussions about sobriety, faith, motherhood and life.

In what he viewed as a benign intrusion, Greene inserted himself into the process, somewhat reshaped the reenactment, which was already set to go down utilizing Bisbee locals as actors and extras, and, with multiple cameras, captured the current generation exposing still-raw nerves as they journeyed into their collective past. The final result was the film “Bisbee ‘17,” which premiered in the Sundance Film Festival’s U.S. Documentary competition. On-camera interviews with role players involved on both sides of what many consider an “atrocity” and others “patriotic justice” elicited real-time pain and anger. Complexities within the narrative abound as corporations take on unions, capitalism battles socialism, and white “natives” fight brown “newcomers” for the “moral high ground.” Sound familiar? Fear within the community ran rampant as events began to unfold. The Bolsheviks in Russia had the Czarists on the run, and the mine owners took full advantage, aligning the ready-to-strike Please see ‘Bisbee,’ C-10 Love. Truth. Hair. “We died in your hills, we died in your deserts, We died in your valleys and died on your plains. We died ‘neath your trees and we died in your bushes, Both sides of the river, we died just the same.” ~ Woody Guthrie Documentary filmmaker Robert Greene caught wind of what he envisioned to be a relevant story for our times while visiting his mother-in-law in Bisbee, Arizona, a few years back. It seemed that the present-day citizenry of the once-bustling copper mining town planned to reenact the 1917 mass deportation of 1,200 mostly Mexican immigrant workers on the 100th anniversary of the incident as a cultural and historical remembrance. Greene, who immediately recognized a possible cinematic opportunity, began to research the story both by delving into historical documents and by conversations with locals. He soon learned that the ensuing 100 years had done little to moderate the passions involved on both sides of the issue. Families had been ripped apart — one brother had even arrested and deported another — as proand anti-union fervor, both above and below ground, swept the town. World War I was afoot and, whether or not it sent young men to early graves, unduly enriched mine owners and entrapped miners into unsafe working conditions — the “good guys” needed Raise brows.
