Learning Curve: Dieting 101

skinny-tall

 

“Blessed are the thin, for they shall inherit the beach.” It was becoming increasingly evident that I was not thin. The publishers of Black Hills FACES had tried to be nice about it, but they had informed me that the magazine wanted its staff to project an image of youth, health, and vitality. “We realize,” the memo said, “that there is not much you can do about the youth problem, but we feel it’s only fair to notify you that we have interviewed several art...

“Either you’re a Beatles fan or you’re an Elvis fan,” said the 36-year-old admirer of the King. “You can’t be both.”

Bob attributes his musical taste to his father, who introduced him to the rock ‘n’ roll legend at a tender age.

“I had to listen to him over and over as a kid,” he said. It may not have been love at first listen, but his father’s...

dsc_0243

Dr. Reuben Bareis of Rapid City is proof that doctors never truly retire.

In August, Dr. Bareis discussed health care reform on South Dakota Public Radio. He writes occasional letters to newspaper editors about healthcare topics that concern him and has been on a crusade to educate the public about an advanced directive called Comfort One.
