C dans l'air du 17 février 2026 - Epstein : un affaire françaiseLe séisme Epstein n'en finit plus de produire ses répliques en France. Lundi, des perquisitions ont été menées dans plusieurs lieux, dont l'Institut du monde arabe (IMA), à Paris. Elles sont intervenues quelques jours après la démission de Jack Lang, président de l'institution depuis plusieurs années, dans le cadre de l'enquête visant à établir ses liens financiers présumés avec Jeffrey Epstein. Le Parquet national financier (PNF) a ouvert, le 6 février, une enquête pour soupçons de « blanchiment de fraude fiscale aggravée » contre l'ex-ministre et sa fille, Caroline Lang.Parallèlement, la justice a désigné plusieurs magistrats référents pour repérer « d'éventuelles infractions liées à des ressortissants français » dans cette affaire tentaculaire Epstein. En pratique, ils vont passer au crible les millions de documents diffusés par la justice américaine mi-janvier, en coordination avec le PNF. Au-delà de ce travail sur ces archives, le parquet de Paris a été saisi de plusieurs affaires distinctes impliquant des ressortissants français.D'abord, celle concernant le diplomate Fabrice Aidan, après un signalement du ministère des Affaires étrangères à la suite des révélations de Mediapart et Radio France. Celui qui était conseiller à la représentation permanente de la France à l'ONU avait été soupçonné, en 2013 – via une enquête du FBI – d'avoir consulté des fichiers pédopornographiques. Le diplomate avait alors dû quitter son poste à l'ONU et les États-Unis pour revenir en France, où il a poursuivi sa carrière.La Cellule investigation de Radio France a révélé hier que le diplomate, dont le nom est cité à de nombreuses reprises dans les « Epstein Files », a par la suite fait l'objet d'une enquête classée sans suite en France pour d'autres faits à caractère pédocriminel. En 2020, alors qu'il était conseiller au cabinet d'Audrey Azoulay, directrice générale à l'UNESCO, Fabrice Aidan a été ciblé par une enquête de la Brigade de protection des mineurs de la Préfecture de police de Paris pour « tentative de corruption de mineur ». La procédure a abouti à un classement sans suite la même année.Enfin, la justice française a décidé une « réanalyse intégrale » du dossier de l'ex-agent de mannequins Jean-Luc Brunel, qui s'est suicidé en prison en février 2022. Il était alors incarcéré depuis un peu plus d'un an, mis en examen pour viol à la suite d'une première plainte en 2019, lorsque le scandale Epstein a éclaté. Lors de l'enquête de police, dix femmes ont mis en cause Jean-Luc Brunel pour des faits de viol, notamment sur mineure. À sa mort, l'action publique s'était éteinte. L'une de ses victimes présumées, Thysia Huisman, a accepté de témoigner au micro de #cdanslair.Nos experts :- Laurent VALDIGUIE - Journaliste d'investigation à Marianne- Audrey GOUTARD - grand reporter à France Télévisions, spécialiste des faits de société- Caroline VIGOUREUX - journaliste en charge des questions de société à la Tribune Dimanche- Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des Etats-Unis, éditorialiste à Ouest France

Piše Andrej Lutman, bere Aleksander Golja. V literarnem opusu Branka Gradišnika predstavlja roman Skrunitelj nadaljevanje njegovih pronicljivih izpisovanj na videz obrobnih pojavov, ki pa v celotni tekstovni strukturi postanejo pomembni, celo ključni za doumevanje avtorjevega namena. Predstavljeni so na način sprotnega humornega obračunavanja z vedenjskimi vzorci, ki so zlahka spregledani, a pisatelj jim da takšno težo, da krepko zarežejo v bralsko zavest. Podani so na način esejističnega nizanja, saj je romaneskna oblika le zunanja mreža, v katero se ujamejo dejstva, s katerimi pisatelj ustvarja svet odzivnosti, primerjav in vrednotenj. V romanu Skrunitelj Branko Gradišnik obuja formo nekakšnega intervjuja. Začne in konča se z izpostavitvijo diktafona. Pripovedovalca oziroma intervjuvanca obiskuje Anka Rivanc in v sedmih obiskih, kolikor je v knjigi poglavij, prejme obilico dejstev, premišljevanj in reminiscenc. Pisatelj se tokrat ukvarja predvsem z osebama iz slovenske literarne zgodovine – Janezom Trdino in Ivanom Cankarjem. Ne vpleta ju v kaka literarnozgodovinska izhodišča, pač pa nastopata v vlogi sogovornikov, pisatelj pa je govorec, ki podaja svoja razmišljanja skoraj kot paberke, kot opombe, ki mu služijo za ogrodje svoje naracije, ter navaja dogodke iz njunega življenja, ki so bolj anekdotične narave. Med tem kramljanjem je obilica naslonitev na določene spise in zgodbe, ki so zaznamovali razvoj slovenske književnosti. Takšnemu občutju se približuje tudi Anka Rivanc, ki v svojih opombah skuša ujeti pisateljev humoristični ton in vsebinske poudarke ter z lastnimi posegi v pripovedovanje, ki ga je posnela in uredila, dodaja še eno dimenzijo aktualnosti. Ima pa to pisanje še eno lastnost: to je implicitno izraženo spraševanje, kdo je skrunitelj in kaj oskrunja. Prvi odgovor bi seveda bil, da je skrunitelj prav pisatelj sam, saj pri vpletanju dveh pisateljev ne skopari z nekakšno desakralizacijo obeh. Nikakor ju ne ponižuje ali išče določenih pomanjkljivosti pri njiju, iskanje manjkov se izraža drugače. Branko Gradišnik poudarja svoje pripetljaje z založbami in težave ali vsaj peripetije v zvezi z možnostjo objavljanja svojih prispevkov v dnevnih občilih. Oskrunjanje tako ostaja knjižni suspenz, kar daje celotnemu pisanju nadih kriminalne zgodbe, kjer prekršek ali zločin sicer obstaja, ni pa trupla niti žrtve. Poleg že omenjenih slovenskih pisateljev je v romanu Skrunitelj še množica literarnih osebnosti, ob katerih pa osnovna naracija prehaja v esejistično podajanje bolj ali manj znanih zgodovinskih dejstev. Te osebe so večinoma iz evropske literarne zgodovine, kot sta Franz Kafka ali Fjodor Mihajlovič. Dostojevski. Tudi njih vpleta le kot nekakšno izhodišče za razpredanja, ki so na nekaterih mestih rahlo ovita v filistrske odtenke, pa takšni odlomki morda delujejo kot preobilje v sicer tekoče berljivem besedilu. Ob tem se poraja zamisel, da bi bil roman Skrunitelj lahko obvezno šolsko branje, saj se loteva stebrov evropske literature na sproščen način. Spremno besedo, ki je pravzaprav uvod v roman, je napisala Miša Gams. V njej poudarja izmuzljivost in primerja Gradišnikovo pisanje s potico, ki ima kar se le da različne nadeve. Krepkih tristo strani obsežno pisanje pa pušča bralstvo v neki negotovosti, ali sploh vzeti resno vse, kar je napisano. A to je vsekakor odlika tega dela, saj relativizira eno od splošnih prepričanj, da je literarna zgodovina ena sama.

Personal impact isn't just a quality for Insight leaders to focus on; it's something we should all consider if we want to thrive and survive in a fast-moving, rapidly changing corporate environment. And it's a critical thing for us to consider when the world of Insight as we have got used to thinking about it is unlikely to last long in its present form. Wherever you are on the AI-adoption curve, many of the skills and attributes that have given us opportunities and promotions in the past will mean less in the future. It will be all about the extent to which we can help our organisations make sense of data, apply learnings to business problems, build scenarios about future markets, and influence decision-makers to adopt the evidence-based opinions we have formed that will determine our success. And we can't do any of these unless we have developed a personal brand that helps us get invited into the room, and once in it, demonstrate sufficient personal presence that we are invited backSo how can we increase our personal impact?

In this episode, I sit down with Iman Kamel, an Egyptian filmmaker, writer, artist and creator, whose work explores inner resistance, transformation, and living between worlds.Living between Germany and Egypt, Ima's path spans dance, visual art, film, and international relations. Her films blur the line between documentary and fiction, using embodied storytelling to explore fear, rebellion, and belonging.We talk at length about her book, Quantum Leaps & Lost Socks, where she brings together personal narrative, ancient wisdom, and “quantum” metaphors to explore transformation, interconnectedness, and what she calls the “holographic being.” The book reflects the same concerns that run through her films: how inner life shapes reality, and how meaning emerges through everyday experience.Ima's book: https://www.holographicbeing.com/quantum-leaps-lost-socks-bookRecorded on 16 January 2026.Connect with Ima on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/iman-kamel-1a720425/.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

C dans l'air du 9 février 2026 - Scandale Epstein : démissions en série...Alors que Ghislaine Maxwell, complice de Jeffrey Epstein actuellement en prison, a refusé ce lundi de répondre aux questions d'une commission de la Chambre des représentants américaine, les répliques de l'affaire Epstein continuent de se faire sentir en Europe, avec notamment en France la démission de Jack Lang de la présidence de l'Institut du monde arabe (IMA), l'institution culturelle et diplomatique qu'il pilotait depuis treize ans. L'ancien ministre socialiste de la Culture était, depuis une semaine, cerné par des appels à quitter la présidence de l'institution et sommé de s'expliquer dimanche auprès du ministre des Affaires étrangères sur ses liens avec Jeffrey Epstein. Les documents et mails rendus publics par la justice américaine ont révélé les petits et grands services qu'Epstein et Lang se sont rendus entre le milieu des années 2000 et 2019, ainsi que le partenariat financier conclu par sa fille, Caroline, avec le businessman américain. Jack Lang répète qu'il ne savait rien des crimes sexuels de l'homme d'affaires américain. Mais le Parquet national financier a ouvert une enquête préliminaire vendredi pour « blanchiment illégal aggravé » à propos de la création d'une société offshore par Jeffrey Epstein et Caroline Lang, basée dans les îles Vierges américaines, un paradis fiscal.Outre-Manche, le gouvernement travailliste est plongé dans une crise sans précédent depuis les dernières révélations concernant les liens entre Peter Mandelson et Jeffrey Epstein, et certains, jusque dans son propre camp, appellent au départ de Keir Starmer. Celui-ci avait nommé l'ex-ministre et commissaire européen à ce poste en décembre 2024, puis l'avait démis de ses fonctions en septembre 2025 après la publication de documents dans le dossier Epstein. Selon les derniers documents publiés par le ministère de la Justice des États-Unis, Peter Mandelson aurait transmis à Jeffrey Epstein des informations susceptibles d'influer sur les marchés, notamment lorsqu'il était ministre dans le gouvernement travailliste de Gordon Brown entre 2008 et 2010. La police britannique a ouvert une enquête et mené des perquisitions. À Downing Street, Morgan McSweeney, considéré comme le stratège du pouvoir travailliste, véritable bras droit et éminence grise de Keir Starmer, a démissionné, ainsi que son directeur de la communication, Tim Allan. Le Premier ministre britannique, Keir Starmer, a affirmé regretter d'avoir nommé Peter Mandelson. Il s'est excusé auprès des victimes de Jeffrey Epstein, mais a assuré qu'il ne connaissait pas l'ampleur de ses liens avec le pédocriminel et a écarté l'hypothèse d'un départ.Parallèlement, la police britannique a indiqué ce lundi « examiner » des informations selon lesquelles l'ex-prince Andrew pourrait avoir transmis au pédocriminel Jeffrey Epstein des informations confidentielles.Le séisme de l'affaire Epstein n'a pas fini de susciter des répliques. Plus de six ans après la mort du criminel sexuel, retrouvé pendu dans sa cellule d'une prison new-yorkaise, la récente publication de trois millions de pages supplémentaires a mis au jour l'incroyable réseau planétaire tissé par le pédophile. Des millions de documents, dont un grand nombre ont été caviardés par l'administration Trump, qui nourrissent autant l'information que les pires théories complotistes.Alors que révèlent réellement les documents du dossier Epstein ? Comment la complosphère s'en empare-t-elle ?Nos experts :- Bruno JEUDY - Directeur délégué et éditorialiste à La Tribune Dimanche - Anne-Elisabeth MOUTET - Journaliste franco-américaine, éditorialiste au Daily Telegraph - Marion SOLLETTY - Grand reporter à Politico- Audrey GOUTARD - Grand reporter à France Télévisions, spécialiste des faits de société
Dans cet épisode, Marcelo Wesfreid revient sur la démission forcée de Jack Lang, le directeur de l'Institut du Monde Arabe. À la suite des révélations de ses liens avec le pédocriminel Jeffrey Epstein, l'Élysée a fait pression sur l'ancien ministre de François Mitterrand pour qu'il quitte ses fonctions.Bien qu'il ne soit pas concerné par les affaires sexuelles, Jack Lang a été cité 600 fois dans les dossiers Epstein. Après des explications on ne peut plus bancales à la télévision par le président de l'IMA, Emmanuel Macron a donc décidé de rentrer en scène.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

O Instituto do Meio Ambiente de Santa Catarina (IMA) deu um passo considerado histórico na conciliação entre desenvolvimento regional e responsabilidade ambiental ao emitir a primeira Autorização de Uso Antecipado do Solo voltada a áreas inseridas no contexto da Ação Civil Pública (ACP) do Carvão, no Sul do Estado. A iniciativa inaugura um novo modelo de encaminhamento do licenciamento ambiental para intervenções em territórios ambientalmente sensíveis, trazendo mais previsibilidade, segurança jurídica e transparência aos processos. A autorização foi concedida à Prefeitura de Treviso e está relacionada à pavimentação de um importante eixo viário intermunicipal. O ato marca o início formal de um fluxo institucional construído em conjunto com a Justiça Federal e o Ministério Público Federal, permitindo que obras de interesse público avancem de forma responsável, sem comprometer os critérios de proteção ambiental. De acordo com o IMA, trata-se de uma etapa inicial que possibilita a avaliação técnica da viabilidade das intervenções em áreas marcadas por passivos ambientais relevantes, especialmente aquelas abrangidas pela ACP do Carvão. O procedimento segue critérios definidos no âmbito do Grupo de Trabalho de Assessoramento (GTA), elaborados ao longo do último ano em diálogo com os órgãos de controle. Para a sociedade, o avanço é significativo. Além de contribuir para a melhoria da infraestrutura e da mobilidade regional, o novo procedimento fortalece a governança ambiental, reduz incertezas para o poder público e para a população local e reafirma o papel do Estado como mediador qualificado entre o desenvolvimento econômico e a preservação dos recursos naturais. Em entrevista ao programa Cruz de Malta Notícias, nesta sexta-feira (6), o coordenador regional do Meio Ambiente de Criciúma, Ibanez Anibal Zanette, destacou que o novo procedimento representa um importante avanço para áreas abrangidas pela ACP do Carvão, ao permitir soluções técnicas responsáveis e alinhadas às exigências legais e ambientais.

Warren Buffett calls Berkshire Hathaway his Sistine Chapel. This analogy haunted me for years until I realized we are building the exact same thing at IMA. It took me a decade to put into words, but I finally narrowed our firm's entire reason for existence down to just two words. They sound simple, but living up to them is the hardest thing we've ever done.

Ria's transition from traditional Insight roles into marketing and digital positions demonstrates how embracing broader responsibilities can amplify an Insight professional's influence and impact.She highlights how marketing budgets face intense scrutiny, requiring Insight professionals to demonstrate tangible commercial value using language that resonates with senior leadership rather than traditional research terminology. This shift demands that Insight teams reframe their work to clearly articulate business impact and ROI.James and Rhea also talk about AI's transformative effect on the Insight profession, with Rhea urging professionals to adapt and embrace these technologies rather than ever resist them. In her view, while AI enhances productivity and efficiency, it cannot replace the critical thinking, relationship-building, and strategic interpretation that human insight professionals provide. It's a message that serves as a call-to-action for Insight professionals to redefine their roles, demonstrate clear commercial value, and remain relevant in an evolving landscape where traditional research functions are need to evolve.

Piše Marica Škorjanec Kosterca, bereta Aleksander Golja in Eva Longyka Marušič. Pisateljica in pesnica Miša Gams je za svoj prvi roman izbrala naslov Kdo se boji črnega moža. Enako je svojo avtobiografsko pripoved naslovila Ksenija Trs, eno izmed mladinskih del Brede Pugelj ima naslov Črni mož; vsem pa je skupen spomin na priljubljeno otroško igro, ki izvira iz mračnih srednjeveških podob mrtvaškega plesa, saj smrt lovi in ujame slehernega človeka. Domnevajo, da se je iz te grozljivke razvila razgibana skupinska igra, v kateri hudobni črni mož lovi in ujame vse otroke. Roman Miše Gams je napisan v obliki dnevniških zapisov neimenovane protagonistke z navedbami datumov od 20. avgusta 2018 do 31. marca 2019. Uvaja ga opozorilo, da so osebe, dogajanje in kraji plod bogate avtoričine in bralčeve domišljije. Kraji dogajanja se menjujejo. zapisovalka živi z družino v Ljubljani in občasno obiskuje kraje nekdanje skupne države Jugoslavije. Največkrat potuje v Bosno in Hercegovino, njene začasne postaje so: Sarajevo, Mostar, Čapljina, Zenica, Banjaluka, Tuzla in Brčko. Protagonistka je v romanu edina oseba, ki odslikava okolje in odnose med ljudmi, presoja, predvsem pa izpoveduje svoja čustva in razmišljanje. Svoja erotična doživetja in telesna občutenja opisuje nazorno in realistično. Poročena je deset let, ima petletnega otroka in zaposlenega moža, ki se ji ne posveča dovolj. Vsakdanje življenje jo dolgočasi. Ima doktorat, a ga mora skrivati, če hoče dobiti kakšno delo, za majhen zaslužek opravlja začasna dela v gostilnah, tovarnah, skladiščih, včasih tudi za borno plačilo s pogodbo samo za en dan. Znašla se je na samem dnu piramidne sheme, ki jo je ustvaril kapitalistični sistem: »Po dvanajst ur na dan ribam, strežem pijanim strankam v gostilnah, sortiram smeti in se na vse pretege klanjam svojim šefom, da mi morda tu in tam kdo celo kaj plača?« Življenjsko prelomnico doživi v Sarajevu, kamor je odpotovala za tri dni, da bi si ogledala filmski festival. Srečanje z mladim Alžircem Samirjem jo povsem prevzame, čeprav je imela prej predsodke do migrantov. Zgodi se ljubezen na prvi pogled, občutek, da sta se poznala že iz prejšnjega življenja, predvsem pa ju je povezala telesna privlačnost. Samir je bil doma iz sorazmerno premožne muslimanske družine in čeprav je imel v Alžiriji urejeno življenje, primerno izobrazbo, službo, prijatelje, zabavo in šport, ga je vleklo v Evropo, v Pariz, kjer naj bi ga čakala tri desetletja starejša »punca«, ki ima tri otroke in veliko denarja. Več Samirjevih sorodnikov dela v Franciji, zato se tudi on razglaša za Francoza, a si zaman prizadeva prestopiti državne meje, saj so ga pri vseh poskusih ujeli, ponekod tudi pretepli in izgnali nazaj v Bosno. Tja se je na svojih težavnih poskusih, da bi prišli v obljubljeno deželo, zateklo veliko migrantov iz severne Afrike in Azije, a mnogi niso imeli sreče, da bi dosegli svoj cilj. Spregledali so, da je velika Evropa le mit, fantazma in da gre za iluzijo, od katere v realnosti nima nihče nič. Prebujeno poželenje združi človeka iz različnih držav in kultur le za kratek čas, saj se morata vedno znova ločiti, za žensko pa so ta potovanja vedno težja. Po večkratnih vse bolj mučnih odisejadah po Balkanu ugotavlja: »Preveč sem postala obsedena s Samirjem … in zdaj ga nikakor ne morem več odmisliti.« Odnosi med ljubimcema se slabšajo. Samir v ljubezni kot zahteven otrok išče mater, potrebuje vedno več pomoči, hrane, nege, tudi denar. Njuni spolni odnosi postajajo brezobzirni, sadistični. Protagonistka si za vsak odhod izmišlja nove laži za naveličanega moža, do Samirja je materinsko sočutna, on pa se vse bolj opija, čeprav je veren musliman. Postaja nasilen. Ranjen in pretepen ostane brez prijateljev, ki so mu pomagali, iz lepega mladeniča se spreminja v duševno in telesno razvalino. Kdo se boji črnega moža je roman o migrantih in njihovem prebijanju na težavnih, tudi smrtno nevarnih brezpotjih. O nezaželenosti in zavračanju. Pisateljica Miša Gams spretno prepleta problematiko migracij z ljubezensko zgodbo med alžirskim migrantom in poročeno slovensko intelektualko. Zelo podrobno in realistično opisuje spolne odnose in položaje. Pri tem se ne izogiba besedam iz »nižje pogovorne ravni«, kot bi jih označil Slovenski pravopis. Gotovo bo ta povezava tragike in ljubezni, zanimivih predstavitev krajev, oseb in dogodkov pritegnila pozornost bralcev in bralk. Svobodna ljubezen, prikazana v literarnih delih, ne dopušča moralističnega vrednotenja. Slog pisanja občasno spominja na prozo legendarnega Charlesa Bukowskega. Protagonistka je nad ljubimcem globoko razočarana in prizadeta, saj je zanj žrtvovala skoraj vse. Ob koncu romana kar težko verjamemo v velike spremembe, ki čakajo nekdanja ljubimca.

Sistem brezplačne pravne pomoči (BPP) je namenjen tistim, ki si sicer odvetniške pomoči in s tem sodnega varstva ne bi zmogli plačati sami. Ima pa četrt stoletja stara zakonodaja tudi pomanjkljivosti, kot je (pre)visok vstopni cenzus in pa pasti, kot je obvezno vračilo pomoči, kar mnoge uporabnike preseneti. In čeprav je nujno potreben, sistem BPP s skokovito rastjo stroškov postaja finančno nevzdržen za državo, ki te stroške krije iz proračuna. Kako sistem deluje in kako bi lahko deloval bolje?Sogovornice: Anja Slak, vodja službe za BPP pri Okrožnem sodišču v Ljubljani Andreja Dajčman, odvetnica in članica upravnega odbora Odvetniške zbornice Slovenije Tjaša Tomažin Razpotnik, vodja BPP pri Zvezi Anita Ogulin

Za zaključek leta pa se podajmo na vesele ulice našega glavnega mesta. Tam sta se med praznično rajanje na tiho prikradli politika in ideologija. Kjer pa sta omenjeni gospe, tudi naša analitična oddaja ni daleč. Politika in ideologija sta si – ker vesta, da drugače ob novoletnih bakanalijah ne moreta prisostvovati – za zasedbo ulic in naših src izbrali glasbo. Zadeva se zdi dovolj preprosta. Župan Janković je na začetku praznikov z ljubljanskih ulic pregnal trubače, ob državnem prazniku pa nato nadvse širokogrudno sprejel harmonikarje. Še pojasnilo za etnomuzikološko neuke … Trubači predstavljajo balkansko, predvsem srbsko glasbo, harmonikarji pa slovensko glasbo. Najprej obdelajmo politiko, potem se lotimo ideologije, če ne bosta omenjeni prej obdelali nas. Poteza župana Jankovića je presenetljiva, hkrati pa politično modra. Polovica ali še več njegovih kritikov se ob koruptivnosti najraje obeša na njegovo deklarirano balkanskost. Naj gre za prijateljstva s srbskim predsednikom, izgovorjavo posameznih vokalov, ali pa koncesije ljubljanskih bifejev, Janković velja za izpostavo Balkana sredi pastorale slovenske prestolnice. In kaj ti naredi premeten politik? Glasbenike, ki bi naj predstavljali srčiko njegovega etosa, brez velikega cirkusa spodi z mestnih ulic, druge glasbenike, ki pa simbolizirajo trdo slovenstvo, pa ne le sprejme, temveč jih naslednje leto povabi še v dvakrat večjem številu. Da je s tem dejanjem vzel del vetra iz jader političnih nasprotnikov, je čisto jasno, da pa si je ob svoji potezi tiščal prste v ušesa, pa precej verjetno. V nadaljevanju pa obračunamo z antičnim pregovorom o okusih, o katerih se ne razpravlja. Hočemo povedati, da je vsaj polovico krivde za civilizacijo, ki se je znašla v enosmerni ulici, nosi nerazpravljanje o okusih. Ljudje z izrazito slabim okusom, tudi za glasbo ne nazadnje, so nas pripeljali v šlamastiko, s katero se ubadamo kot človeštvo in tudi kot država, imenovana Slovenija. Visoko razvit okus za lepe umetnosti bi moral biti pogoj za opravljanje javne službe in zagotavljamo vam, da bi javno življenje, v katerem bi bilo dovoljeno sodelovati in delovati samo posameznikom z izbranim okusom, potekalo bolj strpno in tudi uspešneje od današnje kloake. Naj nam cenjeni ceh glasbenih kritikov oprosti poenostavljanje, ampak recimo, da lahko glasbo ločimo po kompleksnosti, s čimer sta narodno-zabavna tonika in dominanta enostavni obliki, Mozart pa je na drugem polu te vrednostne palice. Na eni strani je glasba kot zabava in rompompom, na drugi pa glasba, ki pripoveduje zgodbo, ali vzbuja čustva. In tukaj so si trubači in harmonikarji povsem enaki. Hočemo povedati, da je vseeno, ali na ulici igrajo trubači ali harmonikarji; k obči kulturi in prosveti ne prispevajo ne eni ne drugi. Eni sicer vzbujajo bolj domoljubna čustva od drugih, to pa je tudi vse. Gledano s stališča glasbć kot lepe umetnosti, pa bi moral Jankovič pregnati z ulic oboje ali pa obojim pustiti igrati. Pač kolikor je razvit njegov glasbeni posluh in kako zahtevna je njegova kulturna raven. Ima pa naša teza nadvse eleganten preizkus; trubači so se najbrž užaljeni, a v skladu z nomadskim slovesom, z ljubljanskih umaknili na zagrebške ulice. Oblast je tam bolj milostna, ampak prebivalci so jih jadrno začeli preganjati iz posameznih sosesk. Zdaj manjka le še to, da bi v Zagreb iz Ljubljane poslali še dvesto petdeset harmonikarjev z Golico in bi bilo takoj jasno, ali naša teza drži vodo. Potem pa je tu še povsem ideološka komponenta harmonikarskega nastopa. Šef harmonikarjev je pojasnil, da njihov shod nima nobene politične konotacije, ne političnega sponzorstva. Ampak če naštejemo osnovne elemente prireditve, ki se je imenovala podpora slovenski glasbi: »ljubljanske ulice, harmonika, največji državni praznik«, potem vidimo, da je šlo za interpelacijo domoljubja, kot si ga predstavlja in propagira slovenska politična desnica. S čimer ni, da ne bo pomote in nesporazumov, čisto nič narobe. Nikakor pa se ne sme in ne more razumni strinjati, da je to edina zveličavna oblika domoljubja. Se pravi, da politična ali pač ideološka desnica slovenstvo oznanja in enači s harmoniko in Avsenikovo glasbo. Ker, če se navežemo na kompleksnejše glasbene oblike, domoljubje ne more biti le valček ali polka, temveč je lahko rock ali simfonija, in v primeru skoraj četrtine Slovencev tudi tango. In naj bo naslednja misel tudi slovo naše skromne oddaje od iztekajočega se leta. Ne bo dovolj, da se kulturne elite od svete preproščine samo dobrohotno ograjujejo … Počasi se bo treba proti njej začeti boriti. Ta boj nam je kot zapuščino zapovedal poet, ko je pred stoletji vzkliknil temeljno, a danes tolikanj zlorabljano resnico obstoja slovenstva. »Kultura in prosveta, to naša bo osveta!«
Ob koncu leta, ko mediji po navadi delajo analize in so vsi po vrsti zaskrbljeni nad prihodnostjo, se lotimo zaskrbljene analize tudi v naši skromni redakciji. Skrbijo nas namreč fašizem, nacionalizem in rasizem v Sloveniji. Zadeva je namreč taka, da so ti omenjeni pojavi pri nas na izjemno nizki ravni, in glede tega capljamo za razvitim svetom. Hočemo povedati naslednje. Slovenski fašisti, nacionalisti in rasisti so nekonsistentni, nepovezani, nespretni, skorajda smešni, in v današnji oddaji se bomo posvetili vzrokom za ta skrb zbujajoč pojav. Poglejmo zadnji primer, ko je rasist na kolesu s solzivcem na mostu čez Dravo poškropil temnopoltega Mariborčana.Kot so povedale priče in mama žrtve, je bil rasist v temnejših oblačilih in je nato pobegnil na kolesu. Lepo vas prosimo! Kateri rasist in belski supremacist, ki da kaj nase, pa se obleče v temna oblačila! Polovica rasističnega naboja se mu med vožnjo po Tržaški izgubi že na njegovi jakni in hlačah, za božjo voljo! Štajerska, ki je že tako ali tako statistično pod slovenskim povprečjem, očitno ne zna pridelati niti dostojnih rasistov. Če bi hotel biti rasist resnično rasističen, ogorčen in ljut, bi bil seveda oblečen v svetla, da ne zapišemo bela oblačila. Rasist na kolesu v temnih oblačilih, ki kar med vožnjo poškropi s solzivcem svojega someščana, ki je zelo verjetno bolj Slovenec kot on sam, in nato pobegne s kolesom prek mosta, pa je videti bolj kot ne tragikomično. Za otroka in družino seveda tragično, za prispevek k slovenskemu rasizmu pa komično. Čeprav je glavni namen naše oddaje družbena analiza in ne izobraževanje – za to imamo v naši medijski hiši specializirana uredništva – naj na hitro podučimo tega in ostale slovenske rasiste, kako je videti rasistični napad, ki je vreden te besede. "V bele halje oblečeni s šilastimi belimi kapucami, ki zakrivajo obraz, počasi korakajo rasisti prek starega mosta čez Dravo. Mora se jih zbrati vsaj sto ali dvesto. Ker biti rasist na družbenih omrežjih in v spletnih komentarjih ne šteje. Nekje sredi te množice mora še posebno zagreti rasist nositi goreči križ. Ker je z ognjem na odprtem težava, bi strpna družba dovolila tudi križ, ovešen z božičnimi lučkami, napajanimi iz akumulatorja, ki ga nosi drugi rasist." Se pravi: oblačila so bela, nobenih koles in predvsem nobenega škropljenja s solzivcem. Tudi nobenega vzklikanja: »Maribor šampijon«, saj je rasizem preveč kompleksna in stroga rabota, da bi jo prepustili organiziranim navijaškim skupinam. Ima pa slovenski rasizem ključno težavo z rasističnim objektom. Temnopoltih pri nas ni ravno v izobilju. Oziroma jih, z rasističnega stališča, primanjkuje. Pa še ti, ki so, nekako ne delujejo zares. Ubogi mariborski deček ima belopolte starše, kar je za rasizem, ki mu je rodoslovje bistvo delovanja, da ne zapišemo raison dʼetre, še dodatna frustracija. Tudi ostali slovenski temnopolti niso tisti klasični, kot jih poznamo na izvorih rasizma, rojenega na afriški celini. Se pravi, ali so, kot v primeru mariborskega dečka, vzornejši Slovenci od rasistov samih, ali so Romi, ki avtohtono živijo na teh prostorih, ali pa so priseljenci, brez katerih bi rasistom ob večerih manjkala kitajska hrana, prinesena na dom. In tako po rasistično naprej in po rasistično nazaj. Potem pa je tu še gola aritmetika. Se pravi, katerih je v Sloveniji več: ali naših sodržavljanov temne polti ali belopoltih rasistov? Če je več temnopoltih, kot je rasistov, pridemo do neprijetne in za teorijo rasizma skoraj nevzdržne situacije, da so rasisti v odnosu do temnopoltih manjšina. Rasisti morajo biti, ali se vsaj počutiti kot večina, saj drugače rasizem nima pravega smisla. Če pa je rasistov več kot naših temnopoltih sodržavljanov, potem pridemo do teze z začetka današnje oddaje, da so leni, slabo organizirani in za rasiste precej boječi. Če je največ, kar skupaj spravi slovenski rasizem, Štajerc na peciklu v temnih oblačilih, ki z varne razdalje poškropi otroka, potem so slovenski rasisti precej bedne kreature. Ker pa smo sredi praznikov in se tudi z našo uredniško politiko pridružujemo spokoju, miru in upanju, le še manjša opomba za konec. Kot večina Slovencev, se bodo tudi slovenski rasisti te dni poklonili rojstvu deteta, ki se je rodilo na Bližnjem vzhodu, verjetno precej temnopolto, v tujo kulturo, s tujim jezikom, tujimi šegami, da nas odreši.

I’m your host, Amy Smith. Today we have Dave with Dave’s Auto, Thank you so much for joining our podcast today. We’re excited to chat with you. Dave: I’m happy to be here. Thank you. Amy: So let’s start off by just introducing yourself, you know, what’s a little bit of your background and how did you get involved with Utah Foster Care? Dave: my background is, I’ve been a mechanic my whole life since I was 15. So that’s 50 years now. And I started the business here in Utah in 1990. So we’re starting our 36th year this year. And started in a storage unit in the dead of winter with no heat. And Lord, I’ve been very blessed. So that’s a little bit about me and where I came from and why I’ve gotta shop. Mountain American Credit Union came to me last year, a little before Christmas, and asked me to collaborate with them with Utah Foster Care. And I was so honored to do it, and they didn’t even know it. They just came to me because they wanted a a working kind of guy to be part of their ad campaign and everything. And then through, meeting the people and you know, talking to Utah foster care and everything a story came up and that story is probably why this is so near and dear to me, but no one knew that. But it’s unusual how people will get put in your life or you’ll get put in people’s lives and then it’s an answer to somebody’s prayer. You know, for me it’s an answer to my prayer ’cause I can give back. I’ve been so blessed in my life. And I hope that in some way that benefits Utah Foster care. So there’s a story there, and I don’t know whether you want that Amy: Yeah let’s just dive right in so that our listeners aren’t on the edge of their sheets like I am. Dave: Okay I’ll try to get through this. I’ve yeah, it’s an emotional story. okay. So my mother, God rest her soul. It was an orphan. So I’m looking for a tissue and of course in the mechanic shop, I got a shop rag here. Okay. Not really. Alright okay, I got that outta the way. Okay. My dear sweet mother, God rest her soul was the one of the finest women I ever knew, but she was an orphan. Now. I don’t know this, and I’m wondering when , the foster program kind of started in America. My mother was born in Ohio. She was put in an orphanage. This would’ve been back in 1940. Amy: Okay. Dave: She was put in an orphanage in Ohio and she lived her life there until my father married her and they were together for 56 years. Amy: Wow. Dave: Now I didn’t know why my mother, my whole life, I did not know why my mother went into an orphanage. I just, even growing up, I never knew. I never knew. I just didn’t know. And about a month or two before she passed away, she revealed to me how she ended up in an orphanage at six years old. And it’s amazing. You know how that shaped her life in a way. And I’m sure she’s not here to defend her. Not that she has to, but my mother never had the opportunity to be taught what a mother was. And but yet, My mother was a woman that had an apron on and I come home from school and there was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for me and somebody to talk to. And she told me that I, when she passed and I asked her, how’d you end up being such a great mom? And ’cause she really was four children and plus my dad, which, okay, that was five children. She was a good mother and I think what it did is since she didn’t have a mother, She went the extra mile and she made sure that she was. The best mother. I remember speaking to women that came to her funeral that spoke about how she had inspired them to be better women and better mothers. And so anyway, my point of that was is to tell the people that are being foster care parents. My mother had some very nice things to say about the people that were in the orphanage. She never, you know, she, I can’t remember the lady’s name, but the mother of the orphanage, the head mother was a very kind woman. She wasn’t cruel or anything. She was a very nice woman. And my mother she taught her how to, my mother learned how to sew and cruise che and knit and meet, you know, all that stuff. And you know, for all our grandkids and everything, she would always be making booties and little sweaters and stuff like that. And so I think of that as what foster parents give to all these children that, for some reason or another, my mother did tell me why she and this is not an unusual story, probably, you know, my mother I’ll, I will tell this because she told me this she was put in an orphanage because during that time her mother was so poor. Then her mother turned to prostitution, Amy: Yeah. Dave: To take care of, you know, to feed herself. This was back in 1940 and America was a very, if you were poor, there wasn’t a whole lot of safety nets for you. And so my mother was taken by the state and put in an orphanage and she never got out of that. And and so I, you know, my heart goes out to a lot of these children. Amy: Yeah. Dave: They have to be removed from a home because their parents, it’s not that they’re making a bad decision it’s sometimes they don’t have another decision to make or, you know, things happen. And any way that I can help those children and these parents it’s one of me and my wife’s great goals. We all, we are my youngest son who’s 25, has autism the foster care community and the autism community is very dear to me. I think there’s a lot of kids with developmental disabilities in the foster care Amy: are. Dave: and Yeah. And the people that, gosh, you know, there’s angels all over the world and a lot of ’em were foster parents. Amy: A lot of them are foster parents. You’re right. And a lot of ’em are people like you who care and give back in incredible ways. So thank you for sharing kind of the. The hidden story behind why you do give back and why you do work with Utah foster care and have such a passion for caring for kids in need, and the foster parents that are taking care of them. That’s really neat. So I, I didn’t know that backstory, so thank you for sharing that and being vulnerable. That’s beautiful. Thank you. Dave: I tell you, if your editors hear this and say, gosh we gotta get that over again without him sobbing and. Just, I’ll do it over Amy: Nope. We don’t want that. We want the real deal. So thank you. Dave: Okay. Amy: that I love about it too is that you talk about, you know, your grandmother was. Was an incredible woman too, and she was doing what was best for her daughter, which was protecting her from a life of poverty and what she had to turn to. And a lot of kids in foster care are exposed to these really dangerous environments and these poverty environments where they cannot be provided for. And so I think having that compassion for these kids and for what they’ve experienced and them being placed in. Beautiful foster homes, but also that’s such a crappy situation, right? No one deserves to be raised in a foster home, but for their protection they have to be sometimes. So I think that’s a really neat parallel that you have. Dave: Yeah. It, you know, I was 58 years old before I knew the real story of why my mother was in it for, she kept Amy: Yeah. Wow. Dave: because she didn’t wanna put that on her mother. And I think as a mother. She went through hard times. My father was in the Navy for 24 years, and he was an enlisted man, not an officer. My parent, we were poor, but she never, so she understood what poverty was, but she never blamed her mother for it. It was, it’s just another gold star on my mother’s forehead because of the woman that, you know, I see. I see her now to be. Amy: And I love that because, so I actually am a previous foster parent. We fostered for four years and I’ve worked for Utah Foster Care. We’ve adopted children and something that is actually quite mind boggling to a lot of people who haven’t fostered, but you just nailed it on the head, is that these kids love their parents no matter what. No matter if they were placed in an orphanage or had to enter foster care. Or anything. That connection is so important, and I think a lot of outsiders don’t see that and they can’t understand it, but it’s really a big deal to most kids, Dave: Sure. I had a great childhood. I didn’t know I was poor until I was old enough to realize I was poor in my teenage years. You know, when you. Your clothes didn’t match the other kids. And the same thing that kids still to this day are faced with, but tenfold because of social media. Amy: Yes. Dave: But, and I can’t even, Ima, you know, my grandkids are subjected to that now, but you know, whatever I can do and I mean that whatever I can do to help families and these young people. Get through this, you know, and a lot of that would be the encouragement to say, you are capable, you have a divine spirit in you, and you’re capable of incredible things. And children need to hear that. They need to hear that what they can dream up is possible with hard work and discipline. And I’m an Amy: I was just gonna say that hearing your story and seeing how successful you are through many platforms is the epitome of, you know, success really. And that’s pretty impressive. Like you say, hard work determination, like these kids can be anything they want to be and put their mind to, and that is incredible. Dave: Yeah. Yeah. Amy: So why don’t you tell us a little bit about last year’s Christmas donation that you were part of with Mountain America Credit Union. Dave: Oh, that was fun. We did a a Jeep giveaway and we also delivered a bunch of presents We, we partnered with Mountain America Credit Union, who has just been such a great partner, you know, such a good company. You know, and they’re they’re a bank for crying out loud. I’m just a mechanic. And, to have the opportunity to partner with a great company like that and do something for a community that I’ve wanted to hook up with and never had an in, you know, was always in the autism space and things like that. And then to have this opportunity has just been wonderful. You know, there’s another thing I’ll announce that we do and it’s and I’ve been doing this with my family. We’re almost 30 years, but up here in Davis County, it’s called the Family Community Christmas, and it’s at the Farmington Fair Park and it’s on December the 20th. , That has grown from a couple of crockpots to over 3000 people served. In the homeless and foster community. And we we have pony rides, we have clothing set up. Every kid gets a new toy, not some old recycled toy. And that’s going on the 20th. And anybody that feels like their Christmas is gonna be less, and especially, and I would say this, not just people that are gonna have less for Christmas, but people that want to like really. Th this is the wonderful thing about this. Let me, if I could just pitch this, because it’s dear to my heart. Me and my family, even when my boys were little, me and my wife would go out there. We make hot chocolate now, and we do, we figure, we do about 80 gallons of hot chocolate Amy: cow. Dave: for this thing. Now there’s 3000 people that come and what makes this so great is every family or couple, they get paired with a family that comes from the community and they spend the afternoon with them. You know, helping them around in, in these areas where they can get clothing and food and hygiene supplies. Their kids can ride ponies or a sleigh and all kinds of stuff. It’s just a fun time and it’s all free. So if you’re a family that’s looking to help out, you know, you wanna jazz yourself up for Christmas, don’t go to Nordstrom for crying out loud. That’s just gonna, that’s just gonna hurt you. It is. You know, the credit card bill comes 30 days later and you’re like, I spent too much, or whatever. You know, do something that doesn’t cost you a dime, but that pays you. The reward is so much more. You can come out there and there’s a place they’ll put you with another family. And it would, I’ve seen I’ve seen people that thought they had all the problems in the world because they didn’t get a raise or, you know, the rent, I, you know, whatever. And they come out there and they spend two or three hours being of service to their fellow man, and they walk away this is the best Christmas I could ever have. And so if you wanna set yourself up for a positive Christmas. Do something like that, or, you know, give to the foster care community. Those are the things that make for a lasting memory for, you know, you’re not gonna remember what you bought in Nordstrom’s a year from now, and your wife ain’t gonna remember that piece of jewelry. Amy: it’s true. So how do people, if they want to give back, how do they get involved? Do they literally just show up? Do they have to sign up? What is the steps If you want to be a person that gives back. Dave: Okay. Good question. It’s the family community, Christmas, FC, C, and it’s there in Farmington. It’s on December the 20th. You can just show up and if you wanna bring some stuff, there’s brand new coats, there’s gloves, there’s socks, there’s winter clothes , Amy: I love it. And what, like if someone was listening thinking, Hey, I could really benefit from that resource, is it the same thing? Do they just show up or do they need to sign up and put in their info anywhere? Dave: They, if they just show up, they’ll get a ticket and they come in you know, I’m thinking they can, and it’s, the day is December the 20th and we’re gonna start at 10 o’clock taking families through. We’ll be there till three, four o’clock. Yeah, If you’re looking to just do something, I know a lot of times, like me and my wife are like, Hey, let’s go do something and we’ll go down to the homeless shelter and, you know, wash dishes or serve or something like that, you know, which is fun, but it’s you know, you’re by yourself and, but if you wanna just be a part of a lot of people feeling all that love and that great vibe this is the way to do Amy: Awesome. Okay. That’s such good information. I didn’t know about that, and I think there’s so many people looking to give back in December. So that is. Awesome opportunity, so thank you for sharing that. That’s great. Dave: Yeah. Amy: Okay, so let’s you, we’ve talked about the Christmas, something that I love that you said is for this community project you do as well as what you did for Utah Foster Care last year is you talked about. The new toys, the new items. I think that’s really important to touch on as this is rolling out in December and people are looking to give back. Yes. Things hand-me-downs are so lovely. I love hand-me-downs, right? There’s nothing against them. But I think these kids have experienced so much that new really matters. Dave: Oh, it, I think it makes a totally different, you know, you said you like hand me downs. I do too, because now I don’t, I’m okay to get it, you know, it’s not Amy: the only option. Dave: yeah. And you know, we’ve done that as a family before where. You know, I can’t remember last time when I bought a Christmas gift, to be honest with you, we don’t do that. I’m, and I’m not that, I’m a ba humbug kind of guy. I just, Amy: You do things that matter and are Dave: I, so if the kids, when they were young and they wanted we’d take all, we’d take the gifts around and I’d dress up like Santa Claus and I’d, we’d give the gifts away. And the kids, that’s what they remember. Now that’s a guarantee. My kids still to this day. Dang it. Talk about dad being funny, going around dressed as Santa Claus and they were mom and they see pictures. They were so young. Some of it they don’t really remember except through their, you know, the pictures. She’d dress ’em up as little elves Amy: man. Dave: and we’d go around and give gifts out to the community that was in need. . It was my kids’ gifts. And that’s what they remember. And I will promise you that, I can guarantee you look at my 30-year-old sons, now, and say, Hey, do you remember what you got when you were eight years old for Christmas? They couldn’t tell you and it might have been a bike , but I guarantee you what they remember is the experience of. Hanging out with dad making somebody happy. My wife was the most gorgeous miss Claus you ever saw, you know. Amy: I love that. So could you tell us a little bit, like what were, you, say your kids, that’s of course what they would remember, but what would you say was their experience doing that? I think about that and I think, would my kids be okay with that? What has, what was their experience when they were younger, you know, and were they okay with that? Dave: , In truth when the boys got a little older, they didn’t wanna wear the hats and the green thing anymore. But they certainly wanted to be a part of they just wanted to be themselves, you know, at so that changed. But other than that no. I think we caught ’em young enough when they just thought it was fun. Amy: Yeah, and it was normal, for your family. That’s what you guys did. Dave: Yeah. It was normal that, you know, my kids knew pretty quick who Santa Claus was. I wasn’t, I hope, I don’t wanna screw anything up here, Amy: I don’t think we have too young of listeners, but. Dave: they found out at a relatively young age that I guess dad could be Santa Claus. you know, you do watch your children in those situations. It’s nervous for ’em. ’cause they’re like, this is weird. This is, you know, it’s new. It’s different. but I think if they see the example that. It can be fun. And I’m guaranteeing you, you know, you put me in a Santa outfit it’s my alter ego. I know. Seriously. I I got a ho, ho, ho that’s just on point. Anyway, I think the kids just fell in line and, you know, and it was a wonderful thing for ’em. They, it’s all they would talk about during Christmas. Amy: Wow, that is really cool. Dave: Yeah, I, everybody, there’s a lot of people do this stuff. I, Amy: I. Dave: but I’m just saying, I I think a lot of people do this kind of stuff. It might look a little different, you know, a lot of people don’t feel comfortable dressing up like Santa Claus, me, I’m there. Amy: I love it. I love it. Sadly, these podcasts go by so fast and we’re already gonna be wrapping up in just a couple minutes, but if you could share maybe just one, one or two of your most favorite give back moments, I would love for listeners just to get to hear about that. I know, sorry, I’m totally putting you on the spot here. Dave: , we started our social media a little over two years ago at the wrangling of my, one of my sons kept telling me, you gotta do this, dad. And I was like, I’m, at the time I was 63 years old. I’m like, there’s, I’m not doing this, man. I didn’t even have a Facebook account. But anyway, he said, do that, you know, and so I started doing, and now that it’s worked out real well, but where I’m going with this was a family that I knew that was in the neighborhood and they knew me. When I showed up at their door, and this is when I used to live behind the shop, I used to live in the community that, where my shop is here in Centerville. I’m that guy. But some of the people that we helped out during that time, that was over 20 years ago was in my community and we just happened to know that there’re struggling. So we’d go to their houses and this young man was struggling with some problems and he had two little children and I knew he was a good guy. , I, it’s dude I’ve been there, drank too much, partied too much, , not making the right decision in your twenties or whatever, , and now you got all this weight on you and , you’re trying. And I could see that. And so we did that with him for a few years, and he eventually moved outta the community. Didn’t know where he went didn’t know what happened. And come to find out then when he recontacted me stopped him at the store, was happy, and I met him. I didn’t recognize the guy at first, and he started telling me about, and then I remembered who he was and his family, him and his wife had two more children. He’s a successful contractor doing construction and concrete work. Got a beautiful house, showed me a picture of his family, and just wanted to thank me. Amy: Yeah. Dave: So that was over 25 years. And somebody still, again, he didn’t, they didn’t re he probably couldn’t tell me what gifts I gave to his children. I certainly couldn’t remember what I gave him. But what he remembered was the outpouring of love and concern for his family. And I think too, I’d have to say he, the way he spoke to me, not that I was an inspiration, that he could have a business and do his own thing, because I wouldn’t take credit for that. But it was like I had enough faith in him and he told me, I saw what you could do and you’re nothing special. and that’s the truth. People, you know, people come up to me all the time, it’s so nice. I’ll be anywhere. And people go, oh, Dave and all that. And you know, and I’ll ask ’em, Hey, are you a mechanic? You know. You know, I just try to make a conversation with him. I’m nothing special. I feel that the world has been really kind to me. I try to look at it that way. The world can be very beautiful and kind to you, if that’s your outlook. Change your Amy: And it can be the opposite, if that’s your outlook. Dave: Yeah. Be careful what you fill your mind with. Like your life depends on it because by the way, your life depends on it. Amy: exactly. I love that story and it reminds me a lot in foster care. It’s often said one caring adult can make all the difference and it does. If someone cares and believes in you and shows up for you, maybe 25 years later, you’ll run into them in the grocery store. Dave: I Amy: And hear how successful they’re being. That’s incredible. Dave: Yeah. That’s. Is there really any greater moment in life than being certainly all those moments with your family and your spouse, but the next best one your brothers and sisters on this planet, that you have a moment in your life where you can just be part of their life to Amy: Yeah and see them doing well, especially after a hardship. That’s really cool. Dave: Yeah. It was super Amy: That’s amazing. Dave: So that’s one. I’m sure there’s a bunch Amy: Oh, of course. Dave: You hit you, you hit me cold there. That’s the Amy: I know. Sorry. You know, sometimes I just get a question and I need to know the answer, so thank you. I think just the last thing that we could wrap up with is, you know, what does serving your community, giving back to your community, what does that mean to you and what would you encourage others who are wanting to do that Dave: you know this I’ll tell you what it does in other people’s lives. I think I’ve talked enough about myself. This, family community Christmas that we have up here in Farmington every year. It started out at the Frodsham family farm. And if you live up here in Davis County, the Frodsham’s have been around. They own a landscape company. Barb and her husband Frank, were, they’re pioneer stock. They’ve been around since God made dirt around here. And so I’ll tell you what the answer to your question will be. Her story a couple years into it. I got to know Frank and Barb pretty good. And I said, you know, how did this start? And I can’t remember her daughter’s name and maybe it’s appropriate that I don’t say her daughter’s name, but she told me, you know, my daughter was going through a really bad divorce. It was just, it was really hard. And she was, why? You know, just what we do when we’re going through hard times, we fill our mind with how bad things are. And so her mom said, , this is not working. Okay, let’s do something for the neighbors for Christmas. And she got some crockpots together and some toys and stuff like that. And it started out like that with just a couple of families. And so the answer to your question is, what can giving back to the community do for not only yourself but the world? It changes the world. Nothing changes the world more than service. Service is a dividend. That pays double when you give service in any form, it pays double. Now, I’m not, I don’t mean in coinage, but it pays double in all. And sometimes it could be in coinage, you know, you meet the right people, things happen. I’m a big believer in how God can take the little bit that I have and just poof, blow it up. And so that’s what I would say about this. If you wanna make a real impact on this earth, just do a little bit of service and watch it grow Amy: I love that. That’s awesome. Thank you for joining us today. Thank you for all the beautiful stories that you were willing to share, and thank you for all that you do for the community. It really is inspirational and yes, I know you don’t wanna take credit, but thank you. Dave: you. You’re welcome. Thank you. Amy: Thanks for joining us for Fostering Conversations. I’m your host, Amy Smith.
