Though we never discourage anyone from wri ng a book, we do encourage them to consider a

Dennis DuPerault, author of Auto Emotions 101 and co-host on What’s the Story?® loves to talk about cars. His column will provide tips and tricks and multi-faceted information. He might mix it up a little, but you can ask him anything you want about cars.

Someone once said half the ba le is just showing up. If that's half, then I say the other half is staying there once you do show up. A er almost 25 years of touring as a comedian, I sure hope I'm right.

I can't tell you how many mes I've wanted to give up, but a er doing 2 shows today, one for my Church, then driving an hour away to do a B‐Day celebra on for a 74 yr old, very nice lady, I can tell you I always seem to be glad I chose to keep on going. I'm doing a speaking engagement in a li le over a week and the tle of this ar cle will be the tle of my speech. I want to share how I've been able to persevere through some very tough personal mes and career set backs as well.

Here's some of what I'll be sharing to show people how to keep on keeping on.

One way to stay in the game, no ma er what career you've chosen, is to diversify your talents. This gives you more experiences, more knowledge and con nues your educa on. I was pre y much just doing stand‐up for the first 10 or so years on my journey, which is fine, but I felt I needed to do more in the entertainment field. I could see I needed to set myself apart from other comedians and also use all of my talents. The first thing I did about 8 years ago is publish my first comedy book

The Power of Persistence Make Love Not Warts. I found that ge ng interviews for radio, podcasts, blogs, websites, etc. became 1,000 mes easier when I added "Author" to my tle. As a result of all these interviews and networking with people, I got involved in Internet radio, which eventually led to my own radio show, then to a radio segment I do now called "BTS Entertainment Corner" on " What's the Story?" radio show and the publica on you're reading now.

I'm not telling you this to brag. This is an example of what happened when I exercised another talent I have. I now have 3 books and I'm in talks about another one. I have also started spreading my ac ng wings over the last 5 years or so and as a result have 3 WEB TV series, some roles in Independent movies, along with some voice over work as well. So diversify you talents, especially those that compliment each other. I have met more people because of these ac vi es than I would have if I just did comedy exclusively, which leads me to the next point…

Networking will keep you energized towards your ul mate goals and once you meet the right POSITIVE people, there's no telling where it can lead. The best way Continued on page 8

April Kempler

When my female dog, Bela, died suddenly, my male dog Kite acted listless. He hung his big furry doggy head down between his front paws, and showed no interest in the things he formerly liked to do. When strangers came to the door, instead of gree ng them with a wagging tail and slobbery kiss, he acted disinterested. What was going on with him?

Gree ng new people was his favorite thing. I wondered if dogs get depressed.

In much the same way that humans get depressed dogs can be sad too. They may:  Display less energy  Reject food or water  Play me holds no joy

Dogs can get lonely, especially if they’ve lost a companion dog or owner. When Kite wandered from room to room looking for his absent playmate my heart broke. The dogs always ate together and at the same me. But, a er Bela died, Kite looked to see if she was at her place se ng before he dug into his dinner. He usually looked a li le lost and confused before he would eventually eat.

What could I do to help him? I showered him with love through extra pe ng, brushing, and walks. Whenever I had errands he came along for the ride. He slowly began to flourish under the extra a en on and gradually his blues dissipated.

A p: it might be temp ng to give a sad dog extra treats, but this is cau oned against. A treat might signal a reward for the new behavior that is being displayed.

Some people may want to rush out and get a new pet for the survivor pet. This could be a bad idea because dogs can

Is Your Dog Depressed?

Some Tips to Help become territorial. A er ge ng all the a en on and being the only dog, Kite didn’t warm up to any new dogs on the scene that might get in the way of the extra affec on he thought belonged to him. Take into considera on your dog’s personality and behavior when other dogs or animals are around.

Don’t ignore the problem. Depression in a dog may indicate a medical reason or condi on. So if there aren’t any new environmental changes, or the loss of another dog or human, it is always a good idea to get your dog checked by a veterinarian.

Richard G. Pugh I heard this story recently and thought I’d pass it along to my readers in What’s The Story?: I heard this crash in my front yard and rushed to check it out. There was this quite elderly man struggling to get out of his car after plowing through my fence. I escorted him to my front porch sat him down and we chatted.

After being assured he was unharmed. I asked: “Sir, that could have been a terrible accident and I’m glad you weren’t hurt. Would you mind telling me how old you are?”

He responded that on his last birthday in April he was 97 years old.

We chatted some more and I asked to see his driver’s license and get insurance information.

He told me with a certain amount of pride, “At

Now cut that out!

97 I’m told I don’t need a driver’s license.”

“Now who told you that?” I asked.

“My eye doctor said it just the other day. Yes he did. He asked to see my license, took his scissors and began cutting it in small pieces saying, “You won’t be needing this anymore!”

A er coming to Reno from Charleston, S.C. in 1973 to accept the posi on of CEO of the Nevada State Medical Associa on and serving as Director of Physician Rela ons at Washoe Medical Center for two years, Pugh re red in 1990.

Later he helped establish Health Access Washoe County (HAWC) and served as Board Member and President for several years. He has served as Adjunct Clinical Instructor at the University of Nevada School of Medicine and authored four books through the History of Medicine Program there.

Book Review

John Loranger

The Complete Stories of Flannery O’Connor

I came to know the fic on of Flannery O’Connor while I was serving overseas in the Navy. That was over thirty years ago, and I have stayed close to her work ever since. It is no exaggera on to say that it was and remains an integral part of my life.

The Complete Stories is a collec on of her short fic on (she also wrote two novels), and the first story that I read is called “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”. It is about a vaca oning family from Georgia who meet up, via an auto accident, with a fugi ve killer. While the story as a whole is filled with comical elements, this is certainly a harrowing encounter. The focus is on the grandmother of the family and her interac on with The Misfit: an escaped convict, who, it turns out, is an existen al, either/or man: “If [Jesus] did what He said, then it’s nothing for you to do but throw away everything and follow Him, and if He didn’t, then it’s nothing for you to do but enjoy the few minutes you got le the best way you can…”

The enjoyments he has in mind are of the worst sort. Though the grandmother tries in various ways to get through to him—“you shouldn’t call yourself The Misfit because I know you’re a good man at heart”—her a empts fail un l she expresses a spontaneous and genuine maternal sympathy for his pain. The result is lethal, yet saving in the deeper sense. It also encapsulates the general pa ern and theme of O’Connor’s fic on in general.

Some readers regard her stories as depressing but I

do not. I never have. I have always found them to be vivid and funny, bracing and profound. An important point to consider is that O’Connor’s characters are usually damnable yet rarely damned. A theology of hope‐for‐all permeates her fic on.

All of the stories have something worthwhile in them, but an a en ve reading of the best in this collec on will leave an indelible impression. The best includes “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”; also, the disorien ng and darkly humorous “Good Country People”; “A View of the Woods”, which might be her most unse ling story; “Revela on”, which can perhaps be best understood in light of Luke 18: 9‐14 (“Oh God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men…”); and “Parker’s Back”.

Concerning the last story men oned, keep in mind that the author’s spiritual sympathies were with the rough, ta ooed protagonist, O.E. Parker, not with his fundamentalist wife.

Of all these stories, I think it’s “The Displaced Person” that pleases me most. Set in the a ermath of World War II, it concerns the upheavals that follow when a Polish refugee is employed on a farm in the South. O’Connor said that a writer’s gaze “has to extend beyond the surface, beyond mere problems, un l it touches the realm of mystery”, and it seems to me that this ideal was realized with special force in “The Displaced Person”. Not to be overlooked (as it is by most of the characters in the story) is the beau fully significant presence of a certain peacock. The length of this story is less than a novel but it has about it the moral, historical and spiritual propor ons of a great epic like Anna Karenina. The Continued on page 9

Jacci Terri Turner

Many of us in my genera on are dealing with a lot of difficult issues concerning our aging parents. A er my father’s death, my mom was desperately lonely. So when she came to live with us, I started da ng her online. I found a free da ng site, sat up a profile for her and monitor it.

Here are some of the things I learned from da ng my mother.

1. Make a day of the photo shoot. Mom and I had a great me picking lots of ou its for her to change into and taking shots all over the house in different poses. We even did some outside.

2. Monitor who’s trying to contact your mother. I deleted all the thirty year old prisoners who “really liked older women” before she ever saw them.

3. Set up safe coffee dates for your mom. This got mom out of the house and socializing – but safely.

4. If someone seems iffy, drop in on a date. Mom felt one guy might be a er her money. So, we set up a lunch date and my husband and I went along. When the guy saw us, his face fell. He knew he was busted and didn’t even offer to pay for lunch.

5. Sneak the age category up when Mom’s not looking.

My mom was beau ful and young at heart and at 73, she

Dating your mother didn’t want to date anyone over 75.

A er a series of losers (like the guy who said he had a cabin and boat at the lake, and only had a shack and rowboat) I sneaked the age limit up to 80. That’s when we met Carl. He’s a re red engineer with a kind heart and a good pension. Mom, who’d never le the USA, has now traveled the world and spent the last eight years with the greatest gi our family has ever received.

So, I’d love to hear your online da ng stories.

Good or bad. They are fascina ng! Also, how have you helped your older, or younger, friends deal with loneliness?

Jacci lives with her husband in Nevada’s high desert.

They spend their mornings hiking through the sagebrush with their big yellow dog, Rocky.

Jacci loves chocolate, babies, and coffee with friends.

She’s worn many hats in her life me: therapist, school counselor, campus minister, and mom. Her favorite hats are her writer and grandmother hats, which come in wild colors and don’t fit too ghtly. E‐mail lrp@lrpnv.com to contact Jacci with your stories. Or look her up on Facebook!

is to use your talents to help others, especially in your field.

You can't help but be li ed up when you li up those around you. Networking online is great, but don't forget to get out in the real world as well. There's nothing like face me with others to help keep the dream alive.

I'll start with a ques on for my next p.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a me!

I've found most people, myself included, feel overwhelmed when they have a big task, project or even a big dream in front of them. This can lead to saying "I quit" before they even start. It's what I call "The Big Picture Syndrome".

Break any project down into small part and the pressure goes away. I'll give you an example from the world of comedy. When I started, pu ng together a 5 minute set (that was funny) was one of the toughest things I had ever done. On top of that, I knew that to even get paid, I'd have to put together 15 minutes, then 30 minutes if I wanted to move up the ladder, then 45‐60 minutes if I wanted to make enough money to survive. I also had to remember the material, that was also daun ng. I leaned to start joke by joke, connect them to each other so they made sense and make it all flow together. Breaking it down and building it

back up again helped so much. It's the same with those long drives.

"How can you drive 10 hours then get onstage?" people ask. If you look at it like that, it seems very ring and stressful. I break the drive up in my mind, I think "Let's see, I le at 9am, so I'll see if I can make the NC border by noon." I try not to wear myself down with thinking of this huge, long drive. I break it down into segments. This keeps me fresh for the stage.

If you're good at what you do, treat people well, explore new ways to use your talents and break the big jobs into smaller pieces, you may find that persistence has become your existence!!

ironic rendering of human folly and ignorance comes across with pa ent objec vity and humor, and so free of contempt as to seem miraculous. There are very few writers who can portray such rus c and insufferable characters so believably on the one hand; but on the other, free of the taint of hatred or even condescension.

John Loranger was born in Bu e, Montana in 1961 but has spent most of his life in Nevada. He served in the United States Navy from 1983 to 1987, then worked for the telephone company before re ring in 2011. He has always enjoyed reading fic on and has published two novels of his own: "The Odyssey of Art O'Hara" and "Lions and Souls: the Story of St. Mary of Egypt". His approach to fic on is best summed up by a quote from Walker Percy: "The first rule of thumb, of course, is pleasure. A good book gives the reader pleasure, the sort of deep, abiding pleasure he likes to come back to."
