Any leader who is going to lead a church or an organization into change must recognize that it takes courage. There is not a church in existence that does not have to face varying types of challenges. Matter of fact if a church is not facing any challenges then I would question whether that church is moving ahead with a focused mission. The mistakes that I have seen many churches make and I have made my share of these types of mistakes is identifying whether an issue is a technical issues or an adaptive issue. Ronald A. Heifetz and Marty Linski state that leading cultural change is dangerous because "a leader can appear dangerous to people when you question their values, beliefs, or habits of a lifetime."[1] You as a leader place yourself on the line when you tell people what they need to hear rather than what they want to hear. Although you may see with clarity and passion a promising future of progress and gain, people will see with equal passion the losses you are asking them to sustain.[2]
I can think back to a time that I became the Lead Pastor of a great group of people who had been through some very difficult years of experiencing loss that led to them having to say good bye to many of their previous friends who had attended the church. The church had nothing in place to create any type of relational connection for people before or after service. It took several months but we eventually developed a team which launched a "Courtyard Café'." Many people were excited and the energy that was created in creating warm hospitality for our "First Time Guests" was amazing. Even through all of the positive outcomes for this decision people were grieved that they no longer had their classroom coffee time that they had for years for with their Sunday School Class. I even received a letter from sincere lady that had been attending the church for well over thirty years that the decision of the "Courtyard Café'" had shattered her Sunday morning Church experience because she could no longer have her time with her friends. In her letter she stated that she would have to stay home from church until she could emotionally get back to the place to forgive both me and the Leadership Team of the church. Whenever people must face the challenge of adapting to a tough reality, and the adaptation requires giving up an important value or a current way of life leadership becomes dangerous as it confronts people with loss.[3]
Leadership would be a safe undertaking if your church or organization only faced problems for which they already knew the solutions. On a daily basis people face problems for which they already have the necessary know-how and protocols to solve them. These are called technical problems. But there is a plethora of problems that we may not have any kind of authoritative knowledge or standard operating procedures. They cannot be simply solved by someone who provides answers from up the food-chain of management. These problems are called adaptive challenges because they require experiments, new discoveries, and adjustments from numerous places in the church or organization. Without learning new ways- changing attitudes, values, and behaviors – people cannot make the adaptive leap necessary to thrive in the new environment.[4]
A man or woman who is leading adaptive change must understand that people cannot see at the beginning of the adaptive process that the new situation will be any better than the current condition. The sustainability of change depends on having the people with the problem internalize the change itself.[5]
Below I have placed a chart that gives detailed description between technical and adaptive issues:
Thick Skin and A Tender Heart
Often times it is the heart of a pastor to attempt to protect people from the pain of the adaptive change that is taking place. Here is the truth: in mobilizing adaptive work, you have to have to engage people in adjusting their unrealistic expectations, rather than try to satisfy them as if the situation were amenable primarily to a technical remedy. It is a leader with a healthy ego that is able to counteract peoples exaggerated dependency on himself or herself and instead, promote their resourcefulness. A leader who is leading through adaptive issues must be thick skinned in order not to take ownership or personalize people's criticisms and at the same time keep their heart open to people. This is called being differentiated. Many leaders will take the criticism of people personal and become defensive which only heightens people's anxiety over their sense of loss. In other words, "Speak the truth in love." I highlight "LOVE!"
Lead Adaptively
When are beginning to lead adaptive through adaptive issues the following behaviors are helpful:
- Gather as many of the stakeholders together to begin to creatively define what creative possibilities there are to leading through the adaptive changes.
- Ask more questions rather than issuing more directives.
- Build extra time into meeting agendas so that the adaptive challenges do not get either bypassed in favor of more immediate concerns or treated with short-term technical fixes.
- Expand the circle of individuals who need to be consulted in exploring possible solutions to the problem.
- When expanding your circles make sure you have a diversity of ages, gender, and ethnic – diversity when processing through the conversation.
- When implementing the strategy adopt a language that stakeholders will use in clearly communicating what the preferred future is that is congruent with maintaining a healthy culture.
- Finally, emancipate people to come alongside of those in the community that are struggling with the adaptive change.
Remember, habits, values and attitudes, even dysfunctional ones, are part of one's identity. To change the way people, see and do things is to challenge how they define themselves. It is important that when you are leading through adaptive issues you as a leader do not dehumanize people and simply begin to place labels on them. Be consistently honest. Be an active listener. Be authentically loving. Finally, do not make promises to people that would violate the integrity of the team. In other words, Emphasize the "WE" in the decision making process not the "ME!" This will help people to identify that the adaptive change is for the betterment of the entire community not just for you – the leader.

Parkinson's Disease: Levodopa Versus Dopamine AgonistsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
No known treatment can stop or reverse the breakdown of nerve cells that causes Parkinson's disease . But medicine can relieve many symptoms of the disease.
Treatment is different for every person. And the type of treatment you will need may change as the disease progresses. Your age, work status, family, and living situation can all affect decisions about when to begin treatment, what types of treatment to use, and when to make changes in treatment. As your medical condition changes, you may need regular adjustments in your treatment to balance quality-of-life issues, side effects of treatment, and treatment costs.
The decision to start taking medicine, and which medicine to take, will be different for each person with Parkinson's disease. Your doctor will be able to help you make these choices.
For many years, levodopa has been the drug of choice for treating Parkinson's disease. Although many newer drugs have been developed, including the dopamine agonists (for example, pramipexole), levodopa is still considered the most effective drug for relieving the widest range of symptoms. It helps reduce tremor, stiffness, and slowness. And it helps improve muscle control, balance, and walking.
When dopamine agonists are used alone, they are helpful in relieving most symptoms of early Parkinson's disease, especially those that affect motor function (such as stiffness and slowness). They are not as effective as levodopa in controlling tremor and other symptoms. And they tend to have more side effects than levodopa.
Because levodopa controls the symptoms of Parkinson's disease so well-and with so few side effects at the beginning-there is some benefit for people who start treatment with levodopa, rather than with a dopamine agonist. A person with Parkinson's disease who starts treatment with levodopa may have more early years with better control of symptoms and fewer side effects.
But it also is well documented that most people who take levodopa develop motor problems (motor fluctuations ) within 5 to 10 years after starting the medicine. These complications-unpredictable swings in motor control between doses and uncontrollable jerking or twitching (dyskinesias)-can be hard to manage and can become as disabling as some of the problems caused by the disease itself. But in the longest study done, people who started treatment with a dopamine agonist had just as many problems with motor fluctuations at 14 years as people who started treatment with levodopa. footnote 1
In an effort to delay the development of motor fluctuations, many doctors are now starting people with early Parkinson's disease on a dopamine agonist rather than levodopa. A dopamine agonist may be used until it no longer adequately relieves symptoms, at which point the person starts taking levodopa in addition to the dopamine agonist. (Dopamine agonists can also cause severe sleep problems, hallucinations, and impulse control issues in some people. Having these side effects may be another reason to switch to levodopa.) As long as the person's symptoms are adequately controlled and he or she can tolerate the drug, dopamine agonists may be a good choice for treating early Parkinson's disease.
This approach is being used particularly in younger people with Parkinson's disease, because it can delay the need for levodopa and thus may postpone the motor fluctuations that occur with long-term levodopa therapy. The American Academy of Neurology now recommends this course of treatment for most people with early Parkinson's disease, regardless of their age.
Still, most people with Parkinson's disease eventually need to take levodopa to control their symptoms, even if they initially begin treatment with a dopamine agonist. Levodopa continues to offer the strongest and most immediate relief of Parkinson's symptoms.
As the disease progresses and motor fluctuations become more severe, medicines may be used together. And your doctor may change the amount and type of medicines you are taking.

"Patient engagement" is a buzzword in health care these days, but what does that look like?
Professionals in health care believe patient engagement means improving communication between doctors and patients. And for good reason- they also believe that doctors and patients need to communicate better.
Patients complain that doctors don't listen to them or respond to their questions and concerns, don't spend enough time with them, and don't use language they can understand.
Physicians feel frustrated when patients ignore their advice, misinterpret instructions, and seem uninterested in their conditions and treatments.
The main problem with health care communication is that it involves people- and people frequently communicate poorly, and sometimes not at all. It never will be perfect. But we can do better.
So what is true patient engagement anyway?
Dr. Rob Lamberts writes
"Engagement is about interaction, listening, and learning in relationship to another person."
Barbara Ficarra, R.N. , puts it this way:
"Patient engagement is a connection between patient, caregiver and health care provider.
An empathetic and trusted relationship forms and mutual respect is fostered.
Patients and their families are empowered and they are active in health care decisions.
Those patients and consumers who choose to be actively involved and in charge of their health work together with their health care providers to successfully reach their health goals and needs."
Many leaders in health care believe doctor-patient communication is less than satisfactory, so they are teaching physicians how to talk to patients more effectively. But to be engaged and empowered, patients need to develop skills also, and learn to approach their physicians in a way that is perhaps different from what they have done in the past.
I like to start with the basics. What do I mean by communicate?
The dictionary defines it as – to convey or exchange information, thoughts and feelings. Therefore, it's not just about words.
It can also mean to join or connect.
The definition which I think most applies to this topic is
Communication is –a connection allowing access between persons
I believe the first, and most important step in communication is establishing that connection, or relationship.
If we try to start exchanging information, or even thoughts and feelings before we have established a connection, it is like to be unsatisfactory.
For example- think about a recent retail service experience – one that worked and one that didn't. Perhaps it was a call to customer service to get a phone service problem resolved. Or maybe you went to a car dealership and interacted with a sales person. Whatever the situation, and whatever the outcome, you probably rated it more favorably if you felt connected with the person helping you.
Recently I called my medical insurance carrier to resolve some unpaid claims- and my insurance is through a government agency. I dreaded the call, expecting a difficult unpleasant conversation. But the rep was professional, efficient and confident. She started immediately by telling me her name and position, then asked me my name. She then accessed and reviewed my account, giving me feedback about what she found. Then we started working on my problem, and continued until it was resolved. I was surprised to have the situation taken care of not only efficiently but pleasantly.
I propose there are three keys to effective communication; realizing there is no one right way, no one size fits all. Each person and situation is unique, with different personalities, and styles of relating. Some or all of what I suggest may not be appropriate or work in some situations.
In dealing with others be willing to be frank , flexible and forgiving.
Approaching others with generosity, grace and gratitude makes it easier to connect.
The People
"Hello, my name is Dr. Oglesby, and I'll be examining you today."
Customer service depends on connecting, and that usually starts with knowing who you are dealing with. The first item we exchange in any human interaction is usually our name.
You should learn not only the name of your doctor (and other health professionals; I'm going to concentrate on physicians in this post) but also their specialty– internal medicine, cardiology, psychiatry, etc
What is their role in this patient's care? Is this doctor primary or a consultant, and
what issues are each managing? (especially in a hospital situation)
And they should know the same about you and any family members who are actively involved in your care. Tell your doctor what name you prefer to be called if it's different than the name on file. Your doctor should know who is your legal next of kin or who has POA (power of attorney if applicable)
Introduce other family and friends and identify the primary contact person; this first level of receiving and giving information, is especially important in the hospital setting. This will create continuity as the doctor speaks to the same person every day.
If you take a friend or relative to your doctor's office with you, make sure they understand what their role is. Your family's insights and observations provide helpful information to supplement what your doctor learns from you. They can help you remember and understand answers and instructions. But this isn't a time for them to discuss their own medical issues with the doctor.
The Setting- where you interact with your doctor, is important but often overlooked; as the patient you likely will have little control over this, but is a factor to consider when choosing a doctor or hospital in advance. If you are already in a medical setting, giving feedback if there are issues that make you uncomfortable.
A hospital setting is different from an office, but some general principles apply.
Ideally it should be as comfortable as possible, private, and quiet, so you can hear and see each other well. In the hospital, ask visitors to leave.
Friendly greetings are fine anytime you encounter your doctor, but discussions of personal medical information don't belong in the hallway, elevator, or cafeteria. Likewise, if you run into your doctor at church or the grocery, just say hello.
Come to an office visit prepared. If you have test results, previous medical records, xrays, etc. bring them with you. Not all doctors will request it, but most will appreciate an up-to-date list of all medications you take, or even bringing the meds with you. Turn off your phone. Bring a friend for support but not a social visit.
Expectations about time can create conflict, whether the visit lasts longer or shorter than you expect. If you weren't told, ask the office how long the appointment is for, realizing that it will only be an estimate; it will depend on what you and the doctor end up discussing and what you need done.
Showing up on time helps the office keep to their schedule and shows the doctor you are serious about your care and respectful of other patients' time. If the office is consistently poor at time management, address it respectfully; sometimes it is best to move on if this continues to be an issue that bothers you.
Most hospitals and clinics have abandoned paper charts for computers, using electronic health or medical records- EHRs or EMRs. I'm not going to dwell on it now, but computer use in the exam room or bedside has changed the dynamic between doctors and patients in ways that often are not compatible with connecting and communicating. For now, I'll just tell you this is a problem doctors recognize and are working to make computer use more patient and doctor friendly.
Connecting with your healthcare providers depends on acknowledging feelings- depending on the current status of the illness, progress to date, future prognosis, there may be a range of emotions – worry, fear, despair, hope, relief, anger, resentment, frustration. Give feedback respectfully; if anything about your care is not as expected, or doesn't seem appropriate, or you just don't understand something, speak up.
Expressing feelings honestly and respectfully, and listening with empathy and respect can build the trust that is vital to creating a connection for effective information exchange – conversation.
Here is a previous post where I discussed the importance of communication between doctors and patients.
And here is how one medical school is helping students learn The Art of Communication
In the next post I'll talk about how to talk to your doctor so you get the information you need and can understand.

Malik McDowell's recruitment not over; may take visits
Every year there's at least prospect whose recruitment takes a series of unexpected twists.
This year, it's defensive end Malik McDowell.
MORE: Signing Day images | College football icons | 10 QB replacements
PAST NSD INDECISION: Alex Collins | Cyrus Kouandjio
The 5-star prospect out of Southfield (Mich.) committed to Michigan State on national signing day, apparently to the dismay of his parents. His mother said she didn't want Malik to go to Michigan State and his father said he preferred seeing him leave the state of Michigan altogether.
Still, McDowell went with his heart with his commitment. "I felt like (Michigan State) can get the best out of me," said McDowell, who added that the recruiting process was "really stressful."
And it's not over for McDowell.
According to Rivals.com, McDowell was the only player on the site's top 250 list who did not sign a letter of intent. Without signing the letter, he can still attend another college because his verbal pledge is non-binding.
On Monday, his father told Rivals.com that there's a good chance Malik takes some unofficial visits.
"I know he is open to taking some unofficials to Florida State and Ohio State," Greg McDowell told Rivals.com. "We plan on doing some unofficials and see if he and his mom can resolve this. It's possible she'll be open to Michigan State as well, so we'll have to see."
McDowell did not give a time frame for a final decision, but the signing period ends April 1.
McDowell is ranked the No. 26 overall player by Rivals.com and No. 38 by 247Sports.com.

Jokinen leads Penguins past struggling Kings, 4-1
LOS ANGELES (AP) Jonathan Quick's Olympic goaltending audition for U.S. national team coach Dan Bylsma ended after three Pittsburgh goals in one rocky period.
All that proves to Bylsma is that his Penguins are awfully good.
Jussi Jokinen had a goal and two assists in the first period, Evgeni Malkin scored in the opening minute, and Pittsburgh chased Quick early in a 4-1 victory over the struggling Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
Chris Kunitz and Tanner Glass both scored in their second straight game for the Penguins, who opened a two-game West Coast road trip with the franchise's first regulation victory at Staples Center. Former Kings farmhand Jeff Zatkoff made 30 saves in the Eastern Conference leaders' fourth win in five games.
Quick didn't exactly make a stellar argument to Bylsma for the starting job in Sochi, giving up three goals on the Penguins' first five shots before Martin Jones replaced him for the final two periods. Quick is competing with Detroit's Jimmy Howard and Buffalo's Ryan Miller, who was beaten 3-0 by the Penguins on Monday.
''It's one game I get to see live, but ... I've seen a lot of him,'' Bylsma said of Quick. ''It's not a good outing for him, but he's got a body of work that's more than just this game.''
Quick was hurt by the NHL's best power play: Kunitz scored his career-high 27th goal on a two-man advantage, and Jokinen added his 16th moments later. Quick has started 13 of the Kings' 14 games since returning from a 24-game injury absence.
''If you give any team a 5-on-3, they're going to create chances,'' Quick said. ''They get one there, and then they get a 2-on-1 where they beat me over the shoulder. At that point, we're not out of the game. We just couldn't get it together enough to get a couple (of goals).''
Jokinen, a Finnish Olympian, had been in a three-game scoring drought in an otherwise stellar season. He credited this outburst to his mother's rare chance to see him play live: Most of the Penguins' mothers are traveling with the club on this short trip.
''I had a good first period, so I probably have to fly my mother here more than once a year,'' Jokinen said.
Anze Kopitar scored his third goal in five games for the Kings, but those are the only goals scored in the last nine days by the Kings, who have lost seven of eight.
The Kings had played their last eight games away from Staples Center, including last weekend's ''home'' game at Dodger Stadium. They've got a four-game homestand heading into the Olympic break, but still haven't solved their scoring woes.
''They are a high-powered team,'' Los Angeles defenseman Matt Greene said. ''It's tough to come back when you aren't scoring a lot of goals, and when you give up two on the penalty kill. It's tough chasing in a game against a team like this.''
The Staples Center crowd gave a reasonably warm welcome to Pittsburgh defenseman Rob Scuderi, who anchored the Kings' defense during their Stanley Cup championship run in 2012 before leaving Los Angeles as a free agent last summer.
But the high-scoring Penguins decisively won their matchup against the NHL's best defensive team, and they did it early. Just 53 seconds in, Jokinen made a spectacular no-look pass across the crowded crease to Malkin for his 15th goal.
Kopitar evened it with a rocket of a shot from the faceoff circle midway through the period for the 16th goal by Slovenia's only NHL Olympian.
After Jarret Stoll and Dustin Brown were hit with penalties at the same time, Kunitz scored in front of Quick after tic-tac-toe passing from Jokinen and Sidney Crosby.
Jokinen put the Penguins up 3-1 just 57 seconds later, ripping a one-timer past Quick's glove.
Glass beat Jones with a sharp-angled backhand late in the second period for his fourth goal.
''We were confident all along,'' Glass said. ''We had a great start. Our power play was awesome, and then we were stingy when we had to be.''
NOTES: Pittsburgh scratched D Kris Letang with an illness. ... Jones and Zatkoff were AHL teammates from 2010-12. ... Pittsburgh hadn't visited Staples Center since Nov. 5, 2011, when Kunitz scored a late tying goal and the shootout winner. ... Pittsburgh C Brandon Sutter is Kings coach Darryl Sutter's nephew.

SAN JOSE — Police this morning are investigating the death of a man who was found in the parking lot of a Jack in the Box in South San Jose, the fourth homicide in the South Bay in a span of about 12 hours, according to police and media reports.
Police dispatchers received a 911 call at 1:18 a.m. from a person reporting an injured man lying in the 400 block of Blossom Hill Road, according to Sgt. Jason Dwyer. Officers responded to the scene and found an unconscious man who appeared to have been assaulted.
The man, who died at the scene, became the city's 16th homicide victim this year. His name is being withheld until the Santa Clara County Coroner's Office notifies his family.
The man was found in the parking lot of Jack in the Box, located near Snell Avenue. The police department's homicide unit has taken over the investigation.
Police this morning taped off entrances to the shopping center near the intersection of Blossom Hill and Snell and were focused on the parking lot of the Jack in the Box. The fast food restaurant, which is typically open 24 hours, was closed as investigators took measurements at the scene.
No suspects have been identified or apprehended.
The homicide was the fourth during a violent 24 hours in the South Bay. Late Tuesday the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office arrested a man sought as a "person of interest" in the stabbing death of a 1-year-old boy and a 48-year-old woman dead at an Alum Rock neighborhood home.
The suspect, Ruben Ramirez, 27, was arrested at about 9:15 p.m. in San Francisco by U.S. marshals and San Francisco police. Relatives said Ramirez was the son of the woman killed and the child's uncle.
Earlier Tuesday, a woman was found dead inside a room at the Holiday Inn Express Motel on Monterey Road in San Jose.

FRAMINGHAM - The lawyer for a Framingham man accused of brutally beating a man several weeks ago with a hammer during a home invasion told a Framingham District Court judge on Monday the case was weak.
Framingham Police arrested Joshell Garcia, 22, on Friday at 2:40 p.m., charging him with home invasion and several assault charges stemming from the March 18 attack on Beaver Street.
But Garcia's lawyer, Michael Brennan, told Judge Robert Greco that the only thing tying his client to the home invasion is that he has the same nickname as the suspect, "J."
"No victim has identified him," said Brennan. "No one has said he did it. No one places him there. No victim or witness has ever said that's the guy who did it."
Prosecutor Jennifer Thompson said Garcia had the same nickname -�"J," or "J-stooges" -�as the victims in the home invasion said their attacker had.
Greco agreed with Brennan.
"I don't even see a basis for bail," he said.
Thompson was seeking to have Garcia, of 68 Henry St., held without bail, pending a hearing to determine if he is a danger to the public. She also wanted Garcia's bail on an open drug case from 2013 revoked.
Thompson said Garcia went to the Beaver Street apartment on March 18. He had previously sold drugs to the woman who lived there, and she also sold drugs for him. The other victim was visiting the woman, Thompson said.
The man had a pair of headphones and an iPad and Garcia demanded them from the man, who refused. Garcia then threatened the man with a BB gun, who again refused to give up his items, the prosecutor said.
"He took out a mallet, a rubber hammer-shaped mallet and struck the victim several times in the head," Thompson said.
She also said Garcia hit the man in his hand, resulting in a "partial amputation of a finger."
Garcia left, and the man was taken to the hospital.
Police arrested Garcia on Friday on the warrant, charging him with home invasion, mayhem, aggravated assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Brennan said the victim told police, "He was 90 percent positive he wouldn't be able to make an identification" of his attacker.
Greco refused to revoke Garcia's bail and released Garcia without bail. Garcia is due back in court on May 15 for a pretrial conference.
However, when Garcia was arrested on Friday, his passenger, Juan Diaz, 26, of 3 Merchant Road, was also arrested. Authorities said he was fidegeting in the passenger seat so they ordered him out to pat frisk him. Police found a plastic bag containing 14 smaller bags of cocaine.
Police charged Diaz with possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute and a park zone violation. Judge Martine Carroll ordered Diaz held on $5,000 bail, and revoked his bail on an open assault and battery case. He is due back in court May 7 for a pretrial conference.

Councils question new differential rating guidelines
Victorian councils have reacted angrily to new State Government guidelines for setting differential rates.
Differential rates are used by councils to vary the amount they can charge landowners, depending on how their property is used.
The Government has unveiled guidelines to come into force in July that it says will make the system simpler and more transparent.
It says using 'differentials' to pursue "controversial social policy", by charging poker machine clubs or fast-food outlets higher rates, will now be considered inappropriate.
The Municipal Association of Victoria's (MAV) Bill McArthur is questioning whether the Government's move is legal.
"We see this as an assault on the autonomy of councils to make decisions about equitable rates for their communities," he said.
He says the MAV will be calling urgent meetings with the state's councils.

Goat here, filling in for our intrepid hero, Matt, aka Desert Locust,
aka Dessert Locust. My first ever blog post, quite exciting. I imagine
I'll ruin Matt's sincere and consistent prose style, oh well.
I've always read horror stories of the 'thermonuclear headwinds' that
are said to rip through Death Valley at night. In my four years of
involvement with the 508, however, they've never materialized. The
glorious northbound tailwinds have always dissipated by the time night
has fallen, leaving fairly smooth conditions for the southerly route
through the valley itself.
Things were looking good this year. Matt's in excellent shape, and has
a lot of 508 experience now. He completed the first 200 miles in just
over 9 hours, and just outside of the top ten riders. The time, in
part, was aided by the aforementioned tailwinds.
Unfortunately, this year, the winds were here to stay. After a
refreshing break at Furnace Creek, there ensued eight hours of
gruelling slog against intense, gusty headwinds. To make matters
worse, one our crew. Had chronic, vomit-inducing car sickness. Matt
hung out in the van for a couple of rest breaks, but soldiered on
regardless. The winds eased by the time he hit the Salisbury and
Jubilee passes climb, and there was light in the sky.
Somehow in the overnight chaos I also managed to misplace one (of my
two) shoes. Oups. Should liven up the rest of the trip.
So now, here we are leapfrogging Matt across the (in my opinion)
toughest section of the 508, Shoshone to Baker.
Here, the rider has essentially thirty or forty featureless,
approximately flat miles, on a shoulderless road populated by
thundering RVs. It's a painful and lengthy trek before you reach the
quiet beauty and grandeur of the Mojave National Preserve just past
Baker, with the Kelso dunes and the Providence and Granite ranges.
To quote the closing passage from Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus":
"…we must imagine Sisyphus, happy" .

Dear Annie: I live in a very small town. We have one small, locally owned family-friendly drive-in restaurant with an attached ice-cream shop. This is a central meeting place in our area.
Here's the problem: There is an older woman working there who makes me cringe every time she takes my order. On repeated occasions, I've seen her eating at the counter that separates the ice-cream fountain area from the patrons. She licks her fingers and then, without washing her hands, handles the cones for our order.
She also touches all of the ice-cream machines and spoons and pulls some stuff out with her fingers. I can only imagine what she does behind the swinging doors. I have gently commented that perhaps she should wash her hands, but it doesn't get through.
This restaurant is owned by a nice woman, but I don't know her that well and am not comfortable mentioning this problem to her. But I find it hard to patronize the place, because this woman's methods are so gross, and I don't want to get sick.
We are lucky to have this business in our town, as it employs a lot of people. How do I tactfully say something without causing a stink in the community? And to whom do I say it? The owner is on the board of some of the organizations that my children are involved in. — Grossed-Out in a Small Town
Dear Small Town: We are certain the owner would not want to lose the patronage of the community because one of her employees doesn't use proper hygiene. This is a matter for your city, state or county health department. You can make an anonymous report, and they should investigate and, if necessary, issue a warning or citation.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Ft. Myers, Florida," who was upset because her friends and relatives buy her birthday gifts that she doesn't want.
I am 50 years old, and for my entire life, my mother has passed judgment on the gifts I give her. She'll open something I may have spent hours searching for and wrapped elaborately and bluntly say "I don't need this" or "Take this back."
I am a painter. One year, I thought long and hard and decided to reproduce in oil a lovely photograph of my parents sitting in a pretty piazza in Italy. I was excited to think I had finally found the perfect gift. She opened it up and said, "Can you repaint my face and take the sunglasses off?" So I did.
She never mentioned the painting again. I think it's hanging in one of the spare bedrooms. Would you address this subject for all of us who are in this sinking boat? — Can't Please Mother
Dear Can't Please: Your mother is never going to like any gift enough to accept it as is. For whatever reason, she is overly critical and not polite enough to be gracious. It's time to stop turning yourself inside out trying to please her. Get her a gift card to any store you know she regularly frequents, even the grocery. She certainly won't be any less pleased, and she might actually be delighted. Not that she'd admit it to you, of course. But at least you won't have to return it.
Dear Annie: This is for "Betsey," who complained about parents in their 80s wanting to know when their kids would be out of town.
When my husband and I retired, we often took short trips. Both of our kids were frantic not knowing where we were and were insistent that we get a cellphone. We thought it was hilarious! — Traveling Parents

MLAs should only be paid for a maximum of three months if direct rule from Westminster become necessary.
That is the recommendation of former members of a pay panel, which was set up to scrutinise MLAs' wages.
The Independent Financial Review Panel (IFRP) is no longer functioning.
A long, detailed and sternly-worded letter to the Secretary of State – signed by its full trio of former members – states that in its absence there is "now no external oversight" over MLAs' pay and expenses; something which it blames on a lack of agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein.
The letter to James Brokenshire, the former IFRP members stated that they "strongly suggest that payments to MLAs in the absence of a functioning Assembly and Executive would be publicly regarded as unjustifiable".
It adds that any future system for payments to MLAs "needs strong and independent administration, supervision, and audit".
"If the Government is therefore forced to suspend the Assembly by Order in Council, we strongly recommend that you consider strictly limiting the period for which members may draw salaries and expenses – perhaps to a period of three months to allow completion of any negotiations," it said.
It states that, during the last period of suspension (2002 to 2007), it believes expenses and pay were still paid out at a rate of two-thirds of what they would have been otherwise.
It also states that since the panel was appointed in 2011 it granted MLAs a pay rise, but that this was funded the reform of the expenses and pensions system.
Prior to 2011, it said there had been "significant abuses in the expenses system", including funnelling funds meant for constituency work towards party political activities, "nepotism in appointments of staff by some MLAs", and awarding of contracts to politically-linked firms – with no evidence that work was ever done.
On this latter point, it adds: "It was also noted that as soon as these arrangements became public some of the companies ceased to trade."
The letter suggests that any return of devolution should be conditional on creating a "new fully independent authority/panel" with investigatory powers and the ability to publish full details of claims.
The letter (sent on Friday) is signed by former panel members Pat McCartan, Dr Etta Campbell and Alan McQuillan.

Kupunkamint Mountain Climber's Log
RoryKuykendall - Mar 26, 2015 11:47 pmJune 2012
2012 - w/ Sean Doyle, Xenja Poljakowa, Lia Hardy, and Erik Lokensgard in combination w/ White Calf (NE and SW peaks),Peak 8283, Peak 8358 and Curly Bear Mt.
We climbed so many mountains that day that I couldn't even remember if this was one of them.
distressbark - Jul 20, 2013 11:58 pm Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2013South Ridge
With good buddy Tyler Haasch. Rain at the Cut Bank Trailhead altered our plans to climb from the boundary trail, so we headed up the maintained trail towards Morningstar Lake instead. The weather cleared about an hour into our hike, so we left the trail after crossing the creek that drains the great west basin of Kupunkamint. We bushwhacked upstream and eventually went up and around a large waterfall before gaining the south ridge. Followed a mostly class II route up and across talus following the south and then west ridge to the summit from there. Delighted to experience an extremely calm summit! Descended the large scree basin that heads south a little ways west of the summit - enjoyed 1,000 feet of mixed scree and snow sliding. Encountered rain as we entered the forest on our way down, which made for a wet 1/2 hour of bushwhacking before we rejoined the trail a few hundred yards west of Cut Bank Campground.
GlacierDan - Apr 17, 2013 1:18 pm Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2010K-Punk
A fair day, just went up Kupunkamint up from the RS and down the drainage West of the mountain to the CB trail. With Heidi, Vin, and Ken.
ManyGlacierMountaineer - Feb 24, 2013 7:17 pmKapunkamint
2011 - w/ Adrienne Hearne, Anders Olson and Joshua Olson.
Due to intense winds, all of the team except for myself decided to remain below the summit ridge. I uttered/screamed my trademark phrase "Give me the camera and 15 minutes".
2012 - w/ Xenja Poljakowa, Lia Hardy, Erik Lokensgard and Rory Kuykendoll, in combination w/ White Calf (NE and SW peaks),Peak 8283, Peak 8358 and Curly Bear Mt.
Started from Divide Mt. Road and ended in St. Mary. For those of you counting, that is a 6 summit ridgewalk.
awhite28 - Dec 17, 2012 8:28 pm Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2010K-Punk
Unbelievable winds on the summit ridge so we were forced to turn back ~100 yards from the summit.

Unbelievable winds on the summit ridge so we were forced to turn back ~100 yards from the summit.
distressbark - Jun 29, 2011 10:06 pmRe: Hurricane
We encountered simlilar winds on our summit attempt June 25, 2011. Turned around no more than 10 minutes from the top. Fortunately we were able to brace the wind long enough to briefly take in the spectacular view from the summit ridge! We followed a series of meadows back towards the Cut Bank road, and to our surprise, we encountered an old trail that lead directly back to the ranger station! A fantastic day in the park!
GNPgumpy - Jun 19, 2011 1:19 pm Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2011Hurricane
Alan Wiley and I attempted Kupunkamint and White Calf, but only made it to the saddle next to Kupunkamint due to the unbelievable wind. We were both blown over at least once before reaching the saddle. I've experienced lots of wind before, but nothing like that. We guessed it would have taken another 10-15 to stroll to the top if it were windless.
JFKitty - Aug 21, 2010 8:17 pm Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2010Kupunkamint Mountain
Despite feeling like a fall day in August, it was a great climb and beautiful day.
Climbed with Rebelgrizz and watched Cougar14 fly by me and to the top.
The Levitator - Aug 21, 2010 12:08 am Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2010Kupunkamint Mountain
The morning was cloudy and windy which wasn't a big surprise. The worst part is probably the beginning just because of all the plants and the mud. The bushwhack and the climb to the summit itself is fun and easy. The sun came out later, but the wind stayed. The summit had views of it all. Peaks in Cut Bank, Logan Pass, Two Medicine and St. Mary's. There was too much wind to continue along the ridge. Climbed with Rebelgrizz and JFK.
EarMountain - May 25, 2010 4:20 pm Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2007Kupunkamint
2007 with April on a nice sunny day.
sanfordstone - Aug 20, 2009 1:05 pm Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2009The Kupunkamint Carousel
I took a trio of Havre natives and a fine southern gentleman up White Calf from the Divide saddle, we took the ridge to Kupunkamint and then to the unnamed peak and finally headed for Curly Bear. The wind was quite significant and seemed to shift in whatever direction was least helpful! We hit the "gap in the ridge" that Edwards describes- my group was pretty exhausted at that point and the prospect of losing a lot of elevation and the regaining even more seemed a bit of reach at 4pm. So we hiked down a gully next to a neat little waterfall, ran down some scree and eventually hit the burn. Hiking through the burn was actually a lot of fun- not much deadfall at all (yet). Eventually we hit the Red Eagle Trail and hiked out another 7 miles or so.
We named the trip The Kupunkamint Carousel because of all the ups and downs of the little "peaks" on the ridge, and also because we basically went in a big circle. Clever, I know.
There was a register on White Calf- 2 groups climbed it in 07 and 08, but we were the only ones up there in 09 so far! No registers or even cairns on the other peaks- it felt like we were the first people up there, which was a pretty neat sensation. Jim, how did you get around the "gap in the ridge" to continue on to Curly Bear?
Saintgrizzly - Aug 11, 2009 12:01 pmRe: from divide peak
You did Kupunkamint from Divide? It's my understanding that cliffs between Divide and White Calf are severe enough so as to almost preclude doing Divide/White Calf/Kupunkamint together. That must have been a long day! There are, of course, climbers in the G.M.S. that would be more than capable....
(Or, are the cliffs maybe not all that bad? Just curious....)
pyerger - Aug 11, 2009 10:47 amfrom divide peak
Have climbed a couple of times, with G.M.S., and friends. Once climbed from divide peak.
jimegan - Aug 5, 2009 3:56 pm Date Climbed: May 13, 1993kapunkamint
Climbed with OTHG
Also climbed as part of loop starting with White Calf and ending with Curly Bear on 8/28/97 with Vern, Bill Haring and a youngster in his 20s
Saintgrizzly - Aug 5, 2009 1:32 am Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2009"Standard" route for Kupunkamint...
Climbed with GMS, with intent of doing both Kupunkamint and White Calf, but forced off summit by horrific winds—there were 13 in our party, and while on the upper reaches of the mountain, every one of us was blown off our feet at least once! So rather than deal with the wind on the ridge to White Calf, we retreated.
I've climbed enough in GNP that spectacular views should never come as a surprise, but for some reason I had underestimated Kupunkamint, and was a little surprised at the stunning summit vista it presented. Very, very nice! And despite the wind (which was unexpected, because the valley was calm—not usually the case east of the Continental Divide), a memorable-in-a-good-way outing.

Man never stopped grieving for stolen '65 Beetle
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A man whose 1965 Volkswagen Beetle was stolen nearly 40 years ago and recently recovered in Detroit says he never stopped grieving for the red convertible that he had running "slick as a ribbon" before it was stolen.
Joe MacDonald of Knoxville, Tenn., said he used to buy Beetles to fix up and sell. Now he hopes to be able to get this one back and fix it up as well.
"I already envision myself going to the lake house in my convertible," he said in a phone interview on Tuesday. "There's nothing I can't fix on a Volkswagen."
The car, now painted white, was found in January when federal border agents checked the paperwork as it was about to be shipped overseas for restoration. MacDonald said he learned the car had been located from a reporter at WBIR-TV. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ken Hammond said the current owner is a Michigan resident who did not know the Beetle had been stolen decades ago.
MacDonald has contacted Customs and Border Protection about getting the car back. He says they are sending him a form to fill out. Knoxville police confirmed in an email on Tuesday that MacDonald was the owner of the Beetle when it was stolen in 1974.
MacDonald said that before the car was stolen he had replaced the engine and some other parts with those from a nearly new Super Beetle that had been wrecked.
"I had a nice little ride there. That's probably why it lasted so long," he said. "I had it in really good shape."
MacDonald said he threw the registration in a box of papers long ago and did not even know that he still had it. When he heard the Beetle had been found, he said a little prayer to Saint Anthony and began looking for the paperwork.
"It was right there on top practically," he said. "That shocked me almost as much as them finding the car."
