Locally Produced TV Series I’d Rather Be a Cowboy Beginning Monday, July 11, KEZI's evening news will feature a five-part series entitled I’d Rather Be a Cowboy. Shot in the Eastern Oregon high desert, this series deals with the struggle of small ranchers to maintain a life they love—a lifestyle which, in many respects, has re mained the same for the last 100 years. Filmmaker Sharon Genasci and cameraman Rick Cullis, from Eugene, went on a four-day cattle drive which took 1,000 steers, a chuck wagon, a bed wagon and buggy for food and supplies through 60 miles of sagebrush. During the drive, neighboring ranchers and buckaroos talked with the film crew about the difficulties they face staying in business. Moves by corporations to buy out some of the larger ranchers, in creasing traffic on the roads, high interest rates, labor costs, and the low price of beef threaten this long standing rural culture, and make moving cattle in the traditional cattle drive more difficult. The series documents a unique aspect of American culture at a pre carious time, and at the same time reveals some of the most beautiful country in the United States. This documentary was directed by Sharon Genasci, filmed by Rick Cullis, edited by Gary Karne, and narrated by local jazz vocalist Nan cy King. Cheyney Ryan provided the guitar music, which was mixed and recorded by Julian Adamaitis. Other works by Genasci include Company Town (about the plight of mill workers in Oakridge and Westfir), Oregon Work (on small business closure in Oregon), and Women and Work (on homemakers entering the work force). I'd Rather Be a Cowby will be shown in five segments, July 11-15, on KEZI’s Eyewitness News, which begins at 5:30 pm on Channel 9, Cable 10. The Doors of Compensation TRAINING-SEMINAR I'PANIC 1a g ll GLUTTONY ; i ii Cruelly • Gluttony • Panic • Phobia • Crime • Over exertion • Psychosomatic Illness • Toxlmanla • Sensuality They all have one thing in common YOU! How? When your natural energy is blocked by all your frus trations, anxiety, anger, etc. that you feel with yourself or others—you automatically seek release through a Door of Compensation. We all experience this In our lives, but we have little understanding of why and little control over what doors we use. An understanding of the Doors of Compensation helps to release the blocked energy that makes the Journey towards happiness an organic and self-fulfilling experience.
