Chrissie Swan and 'Fitmum' Sharny Kieser battle on air about weight
- From: news.com.au
- February 11, 2014
MIX FM radio host Chrissie Swan has taken 'Fitmum' Sharny Kieser to town on air, claiming she was guilty of "bullying and stigmatising overweight people".
The unbelievably tense interview, which was aired last week, went from bad to worse after Kieser answered yes to Swan's question "Would you say that I am lazy?"
"You have been, but I have seen you change from being lazy to getting into exercise as well, so I've seen you change that mindset," Kieser went on to say.
Swan retorted: "So you think raising three children and working sometimes 14 hours a day is lazy?"
Kieser said: "I think that not fitting in exercise and not being active with your kids and trying to teach them a healthy lifestyle is definitely not the right way to go, yeah."
Kieser was appearing in the radio segment after news.com.au's story about her fifth pregnancy was picked up by a number of media outlets, incuding Mix FM and the Today Show.
Kieser claims she has found a way to beat cravings, telling news.com.au "for the first four pregnancies, I got so fat because I let my cravings control me. For this one, I wanted to see if I could control them. And I have."
After sharing stories about morning sickness, Mix FM's Swan made the jump into the weight debate — an issue Kieser and husband Julius spoke about to news.com.au last year.
"There is a small proportion of obese people who genuinely need help. The problem is the other group of people who are fat and lazy; who just take advantage of all the help that is out there because they think they deserve it," Julius said at the time.
The Kiesers "were luckily able to source a copy of the interview from a station insider," which they have uploaded and responded to in a post on their website.
Here's how the interview went down:
Chrissie Swan: I am fat and you definitely hit a nerve with me because ... You know me, would you say that I am lazy?
Sharny Kieser: Um ... Well yeah you have been, but I have seen you change from being lazy to getting into exercise as well, so I've seen you change that mindset.
CS: So you think raising three children and working sometimes 14 hours a day is lazy?
SK: I think that not fitting in exercise and not being active with your kids and trying to teach them a healthy lifestyle is definitely not the right way to go, yeah.
CS: What if I were to say to you that that is completely unrealistic and offensive and untrue?
SK: Why is it unrealistic to teach your kids to be healthy?
CS: I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about how possible it is. It's very easy for you Sharny, whose entire life and career is in runners and running around working. So when your children are involved in your work and your job everyday is to be down at the park and running then it's all very well to say that's possible. When you say that fat people are lazy, you are perpetuating a myth, and you are contributing to a stigma that is untrue.
SK: Well I completely disagree with that because firstly, Julius was in finance and I was in radio and we had kids and we were still active because we chose to be active. We talk to people every day that are in different jobs that are running massive corporations and are still active with their kids every day. It's either do you sit on the couch and eat with them for entertainment, or do you get outside and run around and play with them and not make it about food.
CS: [interrupts] What's to say that someone like me and millions of other people that look like me are not running around the park with their kids?
SK: That's great then — they're not lazy, they don't have that mindset. It's the mindset that we're talking about.
CS: [interrupts] What about all the people that look like normal people that don't take their kids to the park?
SK: Again yeah, they're lazy, I absolutely agree with that.
CS: I just think you need to be so careful Sharny because there is a massive problem with bullying and stigmatising overweight people.
SK: [interrupts] And what about people who are fit and healthy that are getting discriminated against at work because they're eating a salad?
CS: [interrupts] Well that is a massive minority!
SK: It isn't a minority, it's huge, we get emails about it all the time.
CS: Well that is ridiculous! That is a ridiculous argument.
SK: It's not a ridiculous argument. We get emails all the time from people who get embarrassed when people say 'Oh come on, have a pie, have a Tim Tam, it's not going to do anything.
MIX FM co-host Jane Hall: Really? I've never come across anything like that.
CS: Well that's absurd. Anyway, I just want to say, be very careful, there are a lot of people that are not busy when they are overweight. This sort of mindset and discrimination is leading to all sorts of bullying in our schoolyards. It concerns me greatly that parents such as these two are saying things like 'fat people are lazy' 'fat people are stupid' 'fat people are less than' and this is not helping. That's my concern. This is not helping anyone.

How exactly did Chrissie take 'down fit mum on air'? I didn't see her back off at all. Chrissie kept trying to give her leading questions so she could fire off her pre-prepared rant. When we finally realise that this rubbish about not being able to call people fat and acknowledge that obesity is a massive issue, then we may actually save a lot of people's lives, and a lot of taxpayers money.

If the argument was that ugly people were lazy, FitMum would be in REAL trouble! I am not sure its laziness that is the issue, but incorrect priorities. Overweight people that do not put losing weight at the top of that 'to do' list should assess it.

Weight isn't about being lazy, it's a willpower deficit, an additive personality. I'm no expert on such subject, but it does seem to me that people who display addictive personalities in one way tend to show them in others. A work-a-holic might also be an alcoholic, or a shop-a-holic, or a food addict, or a pokie puppet or a gym-junky. All are addictions. Which is bad and which is good is a matter of opinion. We consider the strive for financial wealth or spending excessive amounts of time at the gym to be 'good', but it is very similar to pigging out till it hurts, or spending the hubbies pay on a shoes--all addictions, just different vices. It's the diminished ability to show reasonable moderate. Do you need to gym 7 days a week? Do you need that second (not)helping? Really need to light up that cigerette? Need that hit or want?

Get a life Chrissie, what's wrong with a healthy woman pointing out the facts of life, overweight people cost society, and you know what, I am one of those people. I am in no way bullied by people pointing out my size, I need the bloody help!

Jason Frey of Adelaide Posted at 7:33 PM February 10, 2014
I was overweight as a child. At 15 years, standing 168cm tall, I weighed just shy of 120kg. I played lacrosse, soccer and cricket weekly for school and club. I was always at the pool and walked everywhere. My weight did not budge throughout my teens and I always turned to the easy excuses; genes, cravings, depression, bullying etc. Media driven reasons to stay stagnent and drive a consumer economy. Then like a smack in the face I realised I was my own master. That I was making a choice, seldom is the easy option the right one, and I had chose easy. Easy to say yes to a burger, fries, milkshakes or the very worst offender soft drink. The moment I decided to take command over what I put in my body everything changed. I made a choice, it was really tough, hunger pains, mood swings, the lot, but I made it. In 6 months I had gone from 117kg to 70gk. I felt amazing, I could run farther, go longer and felt high on life itself. I dont think you can brand fat people. Saying that they all suffer from laziness is incorrect. There are a minority that have a genuine medical reason. But the real blames lies with a society that is not stimulated and challenged. That are fearful of changes, or taking the long road. Its the era of quick fixes, boob jobs over personalities, stomach staples instead of salad and water. Chasing stardom instead of being realistic. Jumping on your computer to find freindship and love over getting involved in a community event, sport or volunteering to meet new people. Look at our politicians and you know that quick fixes are not just a disease of the disadvantaged and less educated. We all make choices. And if you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you are proud and happy with who you are regardless of what society says, that is all that matters.

I've been working in offices for almost 20 years, and I have never, ever seen anyone had a go at someone else for eating salad. Unless it was a stinky tuna fish salad and they ate it at their desk.

Hey Chrissy, I think your wasting your time with someone who is so intellectually lazy. Tell her to get on the exercise bike called a proper argument if she wants to talk to you next time!

Sarah of Sydney Posted at 7:31 PM February 10, 2014
Chrissie I think you have the right to say what you did. I can empathise with you. I was tormented as a child right through school, that is kindy, primary and high school, due to being overweight. If people wish to run for a living then that is their bent. They should be encouraging people with a weight issue, to get fit not reinforcing the centuries old, every generation cruelty, that seems to happen if you are overweight or underweight, or tall with long legs. For heaven's sake. We are what we are. Some of us decide to get fit, others of us may require some extra encouragement, and for those who are happy to be the way they are, then that is their choice. To make such a general statement to say that people who are fat are lazy, then perhaps, the fit people should show a little more kindness and not so much arrogance, when it comes to dealing with those of a heavier physique. I used to be 63 kgs. Then the pill, stacked on two stone, by causing me to develop an uncontrollable appetite. But the Pharmaceutical company who developed that brand of contraceptive did not compensate me, or send me to gym classes or to a health retreat. I live with this every day. I love myself.

terrible form chrissie swan. she has proven in the past that by smoking whilst pregnant that she cant resist temptation and this has a negative influence on the health and wellbeing of her children. All it takes is half an hours exercise a day and a healthy diet.How can she expect her kids to fit and healthy if their mum isn't leading by example.
Comment 712 of 815
Mark P of Australia Posted at 7:29 PM February 10, 2014
Soooo Chrissy Swan wants us to take her side. This is the same woman that admitted she would have kept smoking right up until she gave birth if she had not been caught by a photographer. Now before you all say leave her alone, 1 in seven women smoke during pregnancy blah blah blah. remember she kept this a secret from her partner, she knew she was doing the wrong thing. I really wonder if she was able to buy the photos and keep them out of the media, Would she have announced it on national radio and would she have quit. A big NO! would be my suspicion. My 2c worth. Parents smoking while pregnant, in the car and around their kids is child abuse. It's all about choices.

Layts Posted at 7:29 PM February 10, 2014
I think Chrissy overstepped the mark. Obviously Sharny hit a nerve with her. I have children and work ALL the time. I also fit fitness into my life because I choose to become a great role model for my children. Chrissy can fit more into her life, she just doesn't choose to. That is not Sharny's fault, and that whole interview was an attack.

Paul Chao of Box Hill Posted at 7:26 PM February 10, 2014
I have been severely thin and I have been obesly fat ergo I have been on both sides of the coin. Never in my whole thin life has anyone told me to eat a pie, a tim tam or to eat more however on the obese side I have been discriminated more than my fair share. What Chrissie has said is so correct as compared to Sharmy's lame excuse. Why not allow sharmy produce the emails but it is always heresay. A good proportion of obese people are that way because they are addicted to food. Excercising can help but it will never provide a solution. There was an article where the winner of The Biggest Loser exposed what was really happening and many of the contestants simply went back to their previous weight. Obese people need help not hell.

Ziggy of Sydney Posted at 7:26 PM February 10, 2014
These fat people seem to think that being overweight is good and nobody should ever comment on it. Well the truth is that Chrissie Swan is fat and she should damn well do something about it, instead of trying to offload her guilt onto Sharny Kieser. She is not being bullied at all, just because Kieser is advocating fitness and health.

rehandra of perth Posted at 7:26 PM February 10, 2014
All my life until I hit menopause I weighed 7/12 stone in the old measurement. I have lost count of the number of times people have said to me "gee you are thin" come on eat some of this or eat some of that. I could not go up to a fat person and say "gee you are fat" but people think nothing of saying to someone who had a fast metabolism "gee you are thin". And yes people today eat the wrong foods, many women do not cook or even know how to cook healthily for their kids and it is easier on the way home from work to pull into a takeaway. People have to take come responsibility for what they put into their mouths.

Ric of Perth Posted at 7:25 PM February 10, 2014
I think overweight people often have an excuse.. i have to agree with the other woman. there are a smallminority who for whatever genentic reason have trouble keeping weigth off even with excercise and diet. but most are just lazy. I also agree that people who are thin are discriminated against all the time , asked if they throw up , or skip meals or whatever. working long hours shouldnt be an excuse to raise your children to be unhealthy eaters or not to excersice. why is it ok to call someone skinny , but not ok to call someone fat??

bec Posted at 7:25 PM February 10, 2014
I absolutely agree. I'm not fit and skinny and am on the heavy side. I'm lazy and not active. I absolutely agree that we are fat because we are lazy and not disciplined in our eating. As for discrimination against ppl eating healthy. I think it's true that there is alot of peer pressure to "have a tiny piece of so-and-so's farewell cake" but overall I think people are positive about healthy ppl's choices - I don't think discrimination is the right word here because it brings up a negative imagery.

Yes I think Chrissy Swan is fat and lazy when it comes to her personal health. Sure, she is motivated when it comes to her career but I'm sure she didn't get overweight through her love of salad...

Fit and fat Posted at 7:24 PM February 10, 2014
Sharny Kieser is completely ignorant. I am a size 20, I exercise every day, watch what I eat and I work as well. No matter what I do my weight never changes. Not everyone is made to be skinny and you can be fit without being thin. My sister in law is a size 8 and has 3 kids she runs around after and I'm fitter than her. We're not all made to be the same and what's thin and healthy in some peoples eyes is emaciated and scrawny in anothers.

Love you Chrissie, that you are talking and being honest with this shallow, judgemental woman. What is she teaching? Bullying, judging and putting people into baskets. Not someone I would want as a role model. And she is judging us, who are fuller figured, so lets judge her: Stop at one or two babies, you don't have the depth. Teach your children to respect all races, colours, shapes and creeds. I judge her because she is self asborbed and doesn't look deeper into the person. I feel sorry for your children and what she is teaching them. They don't deserve this. And she is getting paid for these articles, surely she could chose to inspire instead of judging the outside. I judge her because she is choosing money over what is right. And finally, I judge her as she has judged half the population. I judge her, because she is incrediably lazy, she is too lazy to dig below the surface and really understand people. Sorry Chrissie, I couldn't help myself, to see someone being nasty and awful. Good on you for interviewing her.

Chrissy supporter of SA Posted at 7:22 PM February 10, 2014
I have 3 children and I am personally not overweight, I work hard at my job (female tradie) and also find time to eat well, excersise and teach my kids to be healthy aswell. Having said that I agree 100% with Chrissy swan. This sharny needs to pull her head in and realise that everyone is different and her attitude is not helping anyone but her ego. I bet she is or is going to be the mother of the kid/s that bully our beautiful children that have been taught to respect all people just because they see that kind of discusting behaviour from their mother. Shame on you sharny.

Its all about lifestyle choices, fit people choose to be fit, fat people choose to be fat. Take responsibility for the personal choices you make each day and stop making excuses.

Miles of Melbourne Posted at 7:21 PM February 10, 2014
Fat people generally are lazy.... about one thing. Making the effort to control their calorie balance. There are plenty of fat people who work long hours, like Chrissie Swan. But are fat. Because they don't balance diet and exercise. I'm sorry Chrissie, but right or wrong, society associates being fat with being lazy in general. That's just the way it is. If you don't want to be tarred with the lazy brush, control your diet. You well know that is how people are going to look at you, yet you do nothing about it but complain. If you don't care enough about other people's opinion of you to do anything about it, stop complaining, no problem for anyone. And that's probably a positive thing in general. But if you care about your health, the example you are setting for your kids and your image, learn to eat properly. Let's face it, you are very overweight. But you do have one small point right. Society associating fatness with laziness is technically incorrect. It should probably be associated with gluttony and/or mental weakness.

Anne W of Melbourne Posted at 7:20 PM February 10, 2014
I eat salad every single day at work and I have never been bullied or pressured to eat a chocolate biscuit or a pie. How ridiculous. Chrissy Swan is right to be raising the issue of 'fat shaming' - it doesn't work and can have horrible consequences for children as well as adults. Let's work together to improve the health of people rather than focusing on their size (skinny or fat) and stop with the name calling - 'lazy' and 'greedy' are not accurate for many overweight people. In fact most of us (whatever weight we are) are guilty of working long hours, trying to fit in too many extra-curricular activities and eating a bowl of pasta instead of a bowl of quinoa. There are plenty of thin people who eat junk and do no exercise and plenty of large people who eat well and exercise but are never going to be thin unless they starve themselves. Let's focus on what it's really about - health and not get nasty!

Rosie of Top End Posted at 7:19 PM February 10, 2014

I have to say that I have always found Chrissie Swan an aggressive personality. From the very beginning with her time in the Big Brother house to today in the media she has always been the aggressor. Why invite someone into an interview if she already had a negative stance. Chrissie is the one with the image issues and she should look at herself in a mirror before taking aim at others willing to take a stand.

Rebecca Percy of Sydney Posted at 7:17 PM February 10, 2014
Thank you for standing up for normal healthy women and men Chrissie! People who are considered "over weight" are just normal healthy people. There is no ideal weight or size a human being should aspire to be. Genetics, ethnicity, age, height, body shape all play a role in determining a persons size! Not to mention the fact that no woman is the same after having children. What woman or man is the same size at the age of 50 compared to age 16 or 20 or 25. Its is actually not healthy to be skinny. Enough is enough of this ridiculous trend that women should look like Barbie ad men should look like the hulk! People are people, and every body is different and unique and beautiful!

People are in charge of their lives an make all the choices. Chrissy chooses to work 14 hours a day, she could also choose to work less, eat right and exercise more, just as anyone else. All I hear is excuses. Make choices, reap consequences - simple as that.

This woman also has never taken into account things like medication and medical issues that prevent the type of "life style" she promotes. My husband and son are both on medications that have weight gain as a normal side effect - and not from eating extra. They are life rescuing medications and they are crippled without them, but the weight issue is nothing we can do anything about. She needs to be thankful she is not crippled from heath issues she cant control or the effects of treatments or medications. Its a myth people completely choose their health and Krissy is right in that she is perpetuating stereotypes. I just hope for her sake, she never has to discover this for herself first hand.

There is a small minority that need help. The rest of us Obese people are LAZY. nothing stops you eating healthy, teaching the kids to eat healthy, drink water, get active. 14 hours a day is a big thing, but if you are doing that 5 days a week then you should lose weight to help with stress on your body. We are obese because we are lazy

If you take offence at a comment then you are not happy with something about yourself. There are equally as many thin lazy people as there are obese. People's perceptions play a massive role. What one perceives as busy another may perceive as lazy. I think we can all agree that if you are fat or thin, eat takeaway every week, don't exercise and sit inside watching TV or playing games then you are lazy.

Firstly I saw Chrissy in a restaurant and she didn't fit down the stairs. Secondly, had time to sit chat relax, as is her job, thirdly, has made poor choices in the past such as smoking, this adds up and carries itself throughout our lives. Please, you are overweight, what professionals would call obese, sorry but its not about being fat, it's unhealthy. You are a truly beautiful person , however extremely dangerous to yourself. Sometimes the 14 hrs a day has to give in order for some life changes, if that's what you want as that's what it takes.

Mike Fitzpatrick of Australia Posted at 7:08 PM February 10, 2014
I totally agree with SK - you choose to be active or not, you choose to be fat or not. People need to own their choices, and accept their results. This is very basic stuff - do little, eat badly and you will get fat. Stay very active, eat well and you will not be fat.
Comment 749 of 815
John Johnson of Melbourne Posted at 7:07 PM February 10, 2014
Chrissie Swan is physically lazy or she wouldn't be overweight. Avoiding intensive exercise and eating the wrong foods will lead to being overweight regardless of how "busy" a person is. Fatties are just as defensive about their bad habits as a junkie is about their drugs.

he is an outpatient who occassionaly gets access to a computer he also posts under freetoquote and hatesupgHahaha, so true so true.
Batzem,What mistakes? Silver almost tripled , SLW went from $21 to above $45. Think those were great calls and your losers are all documented. Do I need to remind you of all the greater than 75% loses. Your words not mine. The thing we know clearly understand about liberals. They are racists and since they hold these views, they believe everyone does. Sad for those demons to be revolving around in that small head of yours. Thank you for pointing out so clearly how pathetic a voice you have. BTW as for the end of the world, fiat money is coming to an end. They can kick the can down the road some more, but one day you will be clinging to that last square of TP and as you use it, you will be thinking about the warning I gave you. I love how rory, batzem,jelly,silver and mero all show up at the same time. Hope you all not fighting over that last square in the end...figure rory will fight dirty. Love how you embarrassed yourself with those racist remarks. Shows how low an IQ you have. Maybe I will visit those finer moments, so newbies can have an idea of the thoughts behind the identity. Your so ignorant, you don't have any idea of how stupid you are. Next alias, step up.
Calm down and just enjoy the nice move. Anyone can hype a stock and we've seen them come and go. If we get a few more newbies, maybe I will post some interesting developments.
Don't tell me what to do... you calm down!Today was a great day and i am going to enjoy this :)I loaded 10's of thousands of shares at lower price and it's matter of time till we go back to 3$.Unbelievable the low market cap of this company!Probably all just one big manipulation. However like i said... enough is enough.Show me another company being punched in the last few months like this company and for what?60M$ annual revenues and 85M$ net tangible assets... trading at 150M$. UNBELIEVABLE!Not to mention all these amazing collaborations with top line pharmas.GSK J&J ASTRAZENCA NOVARTIS... i mean what more has to happen for this to skyrocket back to 3-5$?1.70$... What a joke!Anyhow, next week we're going higher.I.

November 9, 1980
Copland, at 80, Looks to the Future EEKSKILL -- Photographs of Igor Stravinsky and his music teacher, Nadia Boulanger, as well as an awards ceremony for an honorary degree from the University of Leeds stare out from a top bookshelf across the room at a mildly cluttered desk and a stately grand piano.
By IAN T. MACAULEY
The room is a spacious study, filled with books on music and lined with picture windows that open onto a terrace overlooking the Hudson River. Here, high atop a wooded hill in the Town of Cortlandt in a rambling green-painted wood house called Rock Hill, is the secluded Westchester retreat of Aaron Copland, the famed American composer, where for the last 20 years he has worked, studied, played and ruminated, entertained and taught. He lives alone, served by a housekeeper, cook and secretary, and it is this seclusion that is bringing him happily to his 80th birthday.
Dido, his huge black dog, and Toaster, his small black cat, bound out to greet visitors climbing the steep stone stairs to the house. "This is my hideaway, my solitude," he says in greeting, his arms encompassing the upper Hudson Valley behind him.
"How many musicians make it to the age of 80?" Mr. Copland asks. "Very few. I consider myself very lucky to have reached this far. I lead an active life and still keep a full schedule." He will be 80 on Friday.
In mute attestation, a typed calendar of events lies atop the grand piano: A number of birthday commemorations are planned this month, including a gala program at Carnegie Hall at 3 P.M. today, followed by a reception at Hampshire House. Leonard Bernstein, Mr. Copland's friend of many years, will conduct the American Symphony in an all-Copland program, including "Lincoln Portrait" narrated by Mr. Copland.
Last night, the American Symphony conducted a Copland program at Brooklyn College, and on Wednesday the New York Philharmonic will perform Copland works at Avery Fisher Hall. On Friday, he will appear at the Kennedy Center in Washington, and on Nov. 22, the Symphony Space at Broadway and 95th Street will present an all-Copland program. In December he will travel to Europe to conduct orchestras in London, Paris and Brussels.
Mr. Copland, who said he currently spent much of his time conducting rather than composing, wrote "Piano Fantasy" at Rock Hill. But most of his works, such as "Appalachian Spring," "Billy the Kid" and "El Salon Mexico" were composed in a studio barn in Ossining, where he formerly lived.
"I chose to live in the country almost by default," Mr. Copland said. "You know what the composer's life is like in Manhattan; the telephone is always ringing, people are always dropping in, you are expected to go places and take part. When you live away, but not too far, you can get into the city easily enough for a concert once or twice a week, but you're not expected to be everywhere. It's a matter of keeping yourself free from interruptions."
He was born in Brooklyn on Nov. 14, 1900. Recalling his early life on Washington Avenue and Dean Street near the Brooklyn Museum, he recalled: "I was the son of a department store owner, Harris Copland. We called it the Macy's of Brooklyn, and the story -- Copland's -- had the first three floors and we lived on the upper ones, I was the youngest of five, and had two sisters and two brothers. I began playing the piano at 11; and my eldest brother played the violin and one sister the piano."
When Aaron decided to follow a music career, he said, his father asked him, "Can you make a living?"
"The store was what had given us our start in life," he said. "It was important. Though my father was upset at first, he soon became reconciled because I was the youngest. My elder brothers became a lawyer and a businessman, and as the youngest I could be freer to do what I wanted." He said he began to earn his living by playing for prizes, entering competitions and the like. In the 1920's he won a Guggenheim fellowship for a year to study and to free himself to compose.
One of his greatest honors, he said, was when he was Norton Professor at Harvard and gave six lectures at Cambridge. "I never went to college, you know," he said, "and that was a unique experience for me and provided me with the opportunity to soak in a complete college atmosphere as opposed to straight music studies." At this point, he holds 33 honorary degrees from various institutions, which would seem to compensate copiously for his lack of a college education.
When asked what his favorite work was, Mr. Copland replied: "That's like asking someone who is their favorite child. I have my most tender feelings for the works that don't get played so much. But actually it's 'Piano Fantasy,' an uninterrupted work for two hands of 30 minutes, very difficult to play. It's very hard to listen and to retain that work. But it's one of the best I ever composed and does require a skilled pianist to execute."
He said that when he was approached by Martha Graham to write a ballet work for her, he planned the piece now called "Appalachian Spring."
"The work was untitled," he recalled, "and I was much surprised when later Martha entitled it, saying she thought it reminded her of Appalachia. I wrote the work thinking of Martha and setting her to music. It is an appreciation of her and her style."
Although Mr. Copland is about to turn 80, his pace has not slowed. He fills his time studying, receiving visits from friends, conducting, looking over works of music and listening to young musicians.
"Stravinsky was the hottest thing when I was in my 20's," Mr. Copland said, when asked who was his favorite composer and who inspired him in writing his own music. He pointed to the photos of Stravinsky and Boulanger atop the bookcase. "I really don't know my favorites -- there are quite a few I like."
"Stravinsky was short, you know," he said, "and as you can see I am quite tall." He is over 6 feet. "So it used to worry me about that and the fact that most composers were short -- Schonberg, Bartok, Beethoven, Brahms and so on. But Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff were tall."
The piano is his favorite instrument, but he does not regard himself as a pianist. When he is composing, he is not quite sure what he is going to write until he sits down at the piano, and then starts to improvise. "It's not suddenly that I sit down and compose," he said. "People might look askance at that. It's that when I start improvising and fiddling with notes, the music then begins to flow."
"It's not true that the instant before you sit down at the piano you will know what you are going to compose. You have a feeling; it's not altogether easy to watch."
He said that it was more exacting to write for an orchestra, though he prefers orchestral composition. "But then it becomes difficult to get your work performed," he said.
He will not advise people on whether to follow a career in music, or on whether they are talented. "If you want to enough, you will do it, you will break through. You must feel strongly about music. It must be your main interest in your life."
His music is his hobby as well as his life. The furthest outside his field he would concede to going was reading literature.
What is his next step as he enters a new decade? "More of the same," he said. "There are no new works planned, there is nothing burning inside me. I have a full schedule, I have my friends, my conducting, my tours."
How does he see himself into the 80's? "Well, very few musicians make it to 80 years old. That's why they never burn out. But I have reached this grand old age and have lived a full life and have completed a lot. I feel very lucky about reaching 80."

City updates wastewater treatment
The City of New Albany's Light Gas and Water has just completed an upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant – a project that came out of heavy flooding two years ago.
Bill Mattox, director of Light Gas and Water, said the project consisted of raising the holding capacity of the city's lagoons, as well as raising limits on the water it processes on a daily basis.
"A couple of years ago, we had real heavy rains here in town that caused some problems with our wastewater system," Mattox said.
Mattox said that the heavy rains were too much for the city's system, which, at the time, processed 2.5 million gallons of water per day. The flooding was so severe that even the city's lagoons – built to hold extra water during heavy rains – filled up over their capacity.
"In order to alleviate the problem, Light Gas & Water at the time, put the water directly into the Tallahatchie River without treating it."
As a result, Light Gas & Water, with aid from the state, began a $400,000 project to improve the wastewater treatment plant to prevent such urgent measures from reoccurring.
"As a part of the project, the holding capacity for the lagoons has been raised, and the limit on the amount of water we process per day was raised from 2.5 million to 3.5 million," Mattox said.
Mattox said that the project was done in order to satisfy the state of Mississippi's requirements regarding wastewater treatment.
He went on to say that, while the average Light Gas & Water customer may not realize the impact of improvements to its wastewater treatment plant, the project will help prevent future issues.
"Even before that heavy flooding and after it, we've had wastewater to back up in certain parts of town where the sewers are not very deep, following heavy rains," Mattox said. "So this project will hopefully alleviate some of those issues as well.
Mattox said that representatives of the state government have recently conducted an inspection of the new treatment plant and that it is now fully operational.

Two years ago today, Joe Del Rio was awakened to find city officials at the door of his lifelong home in East Austin, demanding entry. Before it was over, the Police Department's SWAT team and the Fire Department had been deployed, and Del Rio said he was detained and questioned for about 10 hours because of what officials called a multilevel bunker-like space under the house with suspicious and unusual materials.
After the city billed Del Rio in April for about $90,000 in repairs it said were critical to make the home on Canterbury Street safe, Del Rio sued the City of Austin last week for what his lawyers say was a heavy-handed and unconstitutional seizure of his property without compensation.
"The ordeal they put me through was unnecessary," Del Rio, now 72, said the afternoon before the second anniversary of his forced eviction. "I've gotten the runaround. I think they want the property. Condemning it is a cheap way to get it."
The city released this statement in response to the suit: "The City of Austin has yet to be served with a lawsuit from Mr. Del Rio; however, actions taken by the City at 2006 Canterbury St. were done due to a public safety risk caused by the structure located on the property."
Del Rio said the space in question started out as a Cold War-era fallout shelter — by no means uncommon at the time — which he later expanded into what he described as a work space when he took possession of the family home.
According to city records, code compliance inspectors visited Del Rio's house in 2008 and 2009 in response to neighbors' complaints about holes. In 2009, records show, he built a retaining wall that he said also elicited a complaint.
Del Rio's description of his questioning by police and city officials in May 2010 suggests that they thought they might have another "Unabomber" on their hands. They questioned why he was shirtless and his hair was messed up. His response was that he had been awakened at 7 a.m. on a Saturday. City crews also found military memorabilia, inoperable hand grenades and a collection of about a dozen firearms in the home.
Del Rio's lawyers Monday produced documents stating that Del Rio was a military veteran with a high security clearance who later worked as a part-time security guard for the Austin City Council.
"He guarded the council 22 years, and now nobody's guarding his rights," lawyer Mack Ray Hernandez said.
"They jumped to a conclusion," said his co-counsel, Lou McCreary. "This is a hell of a lot of trouble and angst they've caused our client."
Del Rio also said officials concreted in the basement, fenced and locked the perimeter of the home and removed utility meters, making the house, in its current state, uninhabitable. The suit says that at the time of the seizure, Travis Central Appraisal District records put the house's reasonable fair market value at upward of $172,000.
Del Rio has since bought a condominium in South Austin. Since the seizure, he has been allowed to retrieve personal items, although he said the house has been burglarized.
Round Rock structural engineer Jeffrey Tucker, whom Del Rio hired when he was putting in the 9-foot concrete and steel rebar retaining wall, said he inspected the wall and the rest of the house in 2009.
"It appeared it was structurally safe," Tucker said Monday. "I did not see anything that indicated it would fall in."
The Texas Constitution says "no person's property shall be taken, damaged or destroyed without adequate compensation being made, unless by the consent of such person."

Chemistry Summer Camp - Day 2: Limonene Extraction at Kalamazoo College
Yesterday I posted about Day 1 of the Chemistry Camp I hosted that was sup
JCE ChemEd Xchange provides a place for sharing information and opinions. Currently, articles, blogs and reading lists from ChemEd X contributors are listed below. We plan to include other items that the community wishes to share through their contributions to ChemEd X.
Yesterday I posted about Day 1 of the Chemistry Camp I hosted that was sup
The American Modeling Teachers Association (AMTA) website is the official source for information on Modeling InstructionTM (MI). Whether you are an experienced Modeler or simply interested in learning more about MI, I encourage you to visit the newly redesigned site and check out the available resources.
My goal with this summer camp was to expose students to the chemistry of things around us - plants, food, batteries, fuel, etc. Fortunately, by studying plant pigments and photosynthesis, students were able to learn about and utilize common lab techniques.
Oh summertime! My non-teacher friends and neighbors like to point out that it must be great having summers off from work. I try to explain that I'm still working although it's really nice having a break from the students. And I know that a lot of colleagues in my PLN on Twitter are enjoying their break from students too while still spending some time working on upcoming challenges and curriculum designs.

Extending and Deepening Student Understanding
The June 2015 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education is now available online to subscribers at http://pubs.acs.org/toc/jceda8/92/6. This issue includes articles on curriculum; assessment; inorganic chemistry; investigating galvanic cells & exploring LEDs; atomic structure; nanochemistry laboratories; physical chemistry in the lab; synthesis.
KWIPPED is a highly efficient, no-cost resource for chemistry teachers looking to rent equipment for projects. If you need to source equipment that is too expensive to buy, KWIPPED.com is a great way to find short or long-term rentals that will fit your budget.
I am teaching this summer and it is especially exciting as I am piloting the labs I wrote this spring. We are using these labs exclusively and I am collecting student feedback for each lab to help in the editing, refining, and revision process.
In a previous blog post, I shared my thoughts about the importance of science teachers (and all teachers, really) supporting their claims about lesson efficacy with evidence. While this doesn't always need to be a formal research study, it can often be valuable to publish findings that will be helpful to other science teachers.
If videos are the method of choice for my students' free time learning, then why do they sometimes struggle to hear and make sense of the chemistry content in my short teaching videos?
Answer: Students need guidance in developing video-viewing skills that foster understanding complex concepts.

Events this week: MAM lecture; Bay View Wine Fest; WingFest
MAM founding works
Before the Calatrava, before the Kahler, before the War Memorial Center, there was the Layton Art Gallery. And without Frederick Layton and the gallery, we wouldn't have the others. The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Drive, which is rooted by the Layton collection, is paying tribute to the man and his gallery with a 125th anniversary exhibition. In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM. Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Lubar Auditorium, guest lecturer Giles Waterfield will discuss "The Role of Private Patrons" in Layton's development of his collection. The lecture is free with general admission. »Read Full Article

CityCenter celebrates 100 years of swingin' business Thursday
Dick Eliot places a hand on an alley door and a look crosses his face. Up and down what appears to be a vacant alley — it's really Front St. — memories course in waves.
Eliot waves his hand like a divining rod. Jazz lived in this alley. What is now the Safe House was the Tunnel Inn. Another door was the entrance to the Elbow Room, he said. Eliot was a young man playing jazz guitar six nights a week first at one spot then the other. When he wasn't performing, he was taking shows in. He had choices: Woody Herman, Cannonball Adderley, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Oscar Peterson, Nancy Wilson and others in a long list. »Read Full Article
Optimist Theatre presents Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale'
Harold Bloom, who knows a thing or two about Shakespeare, admits preferring "The Winter's Tale" to the more celebrated "The Tempest." Not to be outdone, Harvard professor Marjorie Garber calls "The Winter's Tale" "a very great play." And literary and film critic Geoffrey O'Brien refers to the first three acts of "The Winter's Tale" as "perhaps the most breathlessly sustained piece of exposition in Shakespeare."
Not bad, for a much-maligned play that's best known for one of the most famous stage directions in all of theater: "Exit, pursued by a bear." »Read Full Article
Milwaukee guitarist Dick Eliot enjoyed a Las Vegas heyday
In 1967, Dick Eliot was making $207 a week playing guitar with the house band at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The money was good, but the talent he played with was even better. Eliot, a jazz guitarist from Milwaukee, performed with Andy Williams and Tony Bennett. He toured the world with Sammy Davis Jr., posed for LoDuca guitar ads with Eartha Kitt, and played for "all the Sinatras." Yes, Frank, too. »Read Full Article

Steve Adams' (Rova Saxophone Quartet) "Triskotronica" is an homage to jazz innovators Lennie Tristano and Lee Konitz and their tradition of improvisation. In a world that values the familiar, Steve Adams' Triskotronica should be on another planet. It's a good thing that it's not, because that means the world would miss this challenging yet listenable music. Fusing electronic soundscapes with his alto and tenor saxophones and bass flute, Adams' creates his own genre of ambient electronic jazz. Triskotronica brings a whole new musical experience that brings back the past while exploring the future.
