There are 3376441 k k r n thanks in Amman garden supply for support of community radio this is national need of news I need on Tony our. Efforts are underway by Native Americans to beef up the Steelhead breeding population and the Snake River Steve Jackson reports the wild steelhead run on the waterways one of the worst on record this year with only $700.00 fish expected to return from the ocean this fall 37 wild adults still have been released into the Snake River below lower granite dam those fish all females will bolster the brooding stock of fish and that part of the river unlike salmon still had can migrate to the ocean and return to spawn more than a single time but few of the fish that had previously spawn it make it back that far up river after their 1st breeding because of the difficulty in migrating past all the dams those 27 fish known as Else have been rejuvenated in captivity for the past few months at the door shack and Nez Perce tribal hatcheries the idea is to make sure they don't have to return to the ocean again and then make it all the way back up past the dam dug Hatch is a senior fishery scientist with the Columbia intertribal Fish Commission who says the fish actually stopped eating when they began their spawning journey from the ocean back up to the Columbia River and then into the snake and then solve a fish I've gone you know 9 months or or so without feeding so we do some pretty specialized fish culture and techniques to get them to go back on feet again and start you know if you know you know highly nutritious diet and that diet. Recondition also fish as well as that and get them to really make sure the kill certain will for reading purposes because they have as many as a 3rd more eggs in the fish that are returning from the ocean for the 1st time for National Eating Newsom's to Jackson reporting from Spokane the u.s.

Community radio. My family. My family. Every family member every. Day to. Ground myself well what was the inspiration to make this break from technology I had this really intense fear where my father was diagnosed with brain cancer and I found out I was pregnant and the same week and those 9 months I thought a lot about life and death and what are we doing and we're here and whenever I visit my dad it was quite sick I would turn off my phone of course and then and then he passed away and my husband and my daughter was born days later and we just knew we just wanted to change where we were living and then shortly after that we're part of this group called Reboot and that a national day of unplugging which was one ceremonial day turning off a national day of unplugging and we did it and something for it was really wonderful night and the next day it's felt so good no screens like the cleanest day was the longest day it was the most president and happiest I've been in a long time and we never stopped doing it so now it's been almost 10 years and the benefits get I see them more clearly and they multiply and amplify just in terms of my sense of creativity I feel very creative both context like my mind's wandering in the next probably my most productive day of the week is Sunday. And I laugh a lot more like I'm there for the funny I'm just President for Life more feel more connected to myself and my kids and husband it's like this day every week that is so important to us and grounds us and even my teenage daughter you know is in her generic super stressful and last month. Comment I think each Saturday I'm so glad I have to stay home or there's no being on to kind of reset and regroup which we're not giving ourselves any time for any more and so with the news and we're waking up to the stressful news we're going to bed with a stressful or film or this or that or whatever mishmash of things you get on your phone and. So in the book I really talk about how much. Change and it has a ripple effect to the other 6 days because I've incorporated all these kind of smaller things into the week to not have the screen dictate my every move and I was feeling for marrying that also. You know but the book also talks about kind of the history of time on time off. The concept of a day of rest in all different cultures and why we need to bring this ritual back. To Saturday night and are people sitting around waiting for midnight No no it's funny we. You know if you are an observant Orthodox you wait till 3 stars are in the sky but for us to be this. Means no it's 5 o'clock so at 5 pm Ken and I get ready to go on the day and get ready for their they call their double date with technology and this is the rip the great thing is that not only do I run towards Friday night turning off the screen each week and everyone does but on Saturday night really appreciate the marvels of this miraculous the web and technology all over again so. They put a lot of times I say I wanted to look up ahead to ponder all. Pondering is actually quite delightful I think we've forgotten how to do that not be able to look something up immediately but. Both Can't wait to get off the train and then I really appreciate what they can do when I come back on a 5. This is inflection point I love this idea of taking a day off of screens and I thought you might like it so in the 1st half of today's program to finish playing tells us how to start our own text. Let's start with how do you pitch. This the question Do not say here we're going to turn off screens one day a week they'll Mysore crying no one's going to want that no one wants that here's. Number one every member of your family including yourself what do you wish you had more time to do. Everyone's got a lesson I mean everybody has a list why do you wish you could do more of is it a porting is it painting is it really is that napping is it hang out with your friends what are less everyone write their own land and you fill your day with that it'll become everyone's favorite day of the week so it's not what you. Aren't getting us what you get back and that's a whole framing because I think people are so attached to their phones for everything which I think is problematic kind of reminds people even jog their mind of all the pleasures in life that don't require a screen so that's like exercise number 11 of those things that you love doing Think back when you were younger what did you like doing what do you want more of and then make the day pretty much all of that and. There's so many things that are pulled away from the screen that you're in a moment with it's reading and then you're reading and then it makes you think it's going on a phone on your phone or on Instagram and you like you're off the book I guess I can say that sentence with everything yeah so I think it's a framing thing it's that we need to remind people how incredible it is to be human and to be really present for the people right around you instead of the people on the phone or the things happening on the phone Yeah I feel like I have I do have a bad habit of like my kids come home and I'm on my computer I can't comment on my phone I'm on my phone and then I get mad at them for being on their phone when I'm trying to have a conversation or that's why this is my kid it's modeling and we made this film called your parent which I don't know if. It is so much about modeling behavior and a lot of kids say their parents or they want just the culprits too so if you make it like a family experiment and I mean I always wish like that when my kids are going to computer number you know you wish there was like a late point you know you had like I actually I'm working right now I'm helping to pay for the bills I'm not like you know just scroll ing away but but it is about it being an all in family thing and I think that's that's a key part of the toolkit is that everyone has to be again and you're going to have your own rules like I think partner too about rules for us it is the screens or the conduit to every distraction and work and leo all the mishmash of things so and we really like if you get off with a dinner and that's also fun Who do you wish to spend more time with who do wish you saw more arrows Not that I was. I hang out with that person more what's a neighbor you want to know better who you want to spend time with you're not struck by the phones and it is such a different experience when phones aren't on your lap in your pocket it's a whole different tenor it's like people are really there they're not half there and then I say you know we've done it with 2 kids and soccer we've done for them to not put them back right now but you can do it with me you have do a little crap in the Friday afternoon do you put the word out ahead of time is there an auto replier I do I have some hacks on our website for the book and with all these resources 24 x. Life dot com and there are some hacks support our responses under text message you know when you have to do not driving you can actually set that to go I don't have it on my e-mail because people know I usually do a tweet on Twitter that's a quote preferred social media I usually was on Friday night say. Turning out from a weekly ritual see one of the people they can do that to and then we invited everyone to try it on mass with so many resources for people now on our site and with all these kind of research and short films and ways to get people on board and tips to prepare for your text. And it is kind of an amazing thing that we need this much to unplug from the network yeah one day early Saturday is not a lot like bagging for a camping trip to get out of a bad and I think about remembering our humanity that we're so often you know I walk down the street everyone's looking down and I you know listen it's like I have digital perfection down I mean the other 6 days I actually think it's harder I do a lot of meaning things the others I don't like on my phone when I wake up anymore and that's hard but I am like don't look at that phone and I get my coffee and I journal I do a 5 minute Journal we're talking like it's like a 10 minute experience that I'm not on my phone but it sets my day and such a different way but I think it's harder joining the week to do all those that don't have it at the dining room table at my film studio no phones on the desk distracting so it's in your bag until you go to the bathroom intricate on a break but on my text about the phones away it's the visual like even seeing someone else's phone on a table when you're having lunch it could be off their phone you're not as present because you're looking at their phone which could ring and it reminds you of your fun maybe it's in your bag whatever so we don't realize how much we are pulling ourselves away from just being where we are so I think it's actually you know of course that frightened people so much fear around it I think if people just layered it back. And restrained it like I said from this more positive space it is literally something I run towards And I'm like I can't wait for it and I feel like I do remember how to live in a different way you know they say for creativity I mean you do so much creative work and it's good to put your mind in a different mode even if it's just one day a week and every every week it feels like very deep relaxation and different mode the kind of carries me over to the next weekend and there's a handful of times a year where I'm traveling I can't do it and I feel more I don't feel quite. Feel like I didn't get it well you talk there's a there's a chapter in about the talks about creating rules and breaking them. I think I started you're going to find your own rules like for a while we only listen to vinyl on a record player which is really fun but we really like to cook on our tracks about like I don't have time to cook during the week as much as I like to on on the weekend and we started using Alexis as our time or you know we have an echo Alexa verbal speaker now for us that counts that's Ok because Green I literally say Alexis the clicking timer for 10 minutes but not on a screen if I did it on my phone then I'd get a tax and an Instagram a notification and I'd be off so for us to listen of I know but we also use that as like a so that's our rule I mean you're all going to come up with your own rules and I have a friend a special needs child and. I have to be available and a grown child and what if you got a flip phone that was like your bat phone for that day to kind of force you to just communicate in a different way so you were always available even if you're out of your house but you weren't mindlessly scrolling or being distracted from everything so. I think you really need to look at what your family or if you're by in the book I talk about if you're single if you're older I don't know one person in my life I have talked so much about the but that doesn't feel like they're on the screen so much so how do you build this is a. Very old from our people practice again I'm not religious but I love I love going to find the cause it was such a radical idea to ever asked it like put a period of time was like I'm going there was no ending and they had like a day of rest the 4th Commandment above do not commit murder is after 60 for a whole day doesn't like. To say so. In a 1000 years old it's free it's available to everyone and I would you know I do meditation and yoga and I don't consider myself Hindu or Buddhist but it's a these are practices that bring great balance back into my life and I would love for people to engage with full day of because then again most Jews I know that it's about maybe do a Friday night dinner that's probably the most but the only people I knew that did a full day were Orthodox Jews and I was always marvel like you don't drive you don't use my knee you know wow. I was marvelous at it but I think for me but I think in this modern era I don't know anyone that doesn't feel like they're on the front so much so how do we bring a very old practice into the 21st century and make it work so getting back to rules question. I think if you kind of and we have a series of exercises in the book to kind of walk you through the questions you know how many hours you think you're on a day when does it not feel good when does it feel good I mean the times I love it I mean I love the work I do on big global conversations are the best of you know you get a text from an old friend or you know there's so many incredible moments you look something up and you go down this whole beautiful rabbit hole of ideas there's so many good but it seems like it's infiltrated every part of our lives and it just it doesn't feel that and so all day long when you feel like a marionette doll which I feel like you know they're i 1000 the behavioral scientists and engineers their job is to keep your eyes glued on the screen so when you feel like you can't take your eyes away from a screen because that is an intention so to kind of reclaim yourself one day a week as it gives me perspective every week I really get so detached and think about what's happening and how I can try to help change because there's stuff on a personal level there's you know in your family you can model behavior and your kids are living in your house until they're 18 you run the household you can set some new framework and at your company you can say hey let's put our phones away from our desks. And then there's some legislation that's coming out we're doing these short films your parents there are 2 minutes there student you're c.e.o. Do your legislator and your fellow human and they're all approaching this idea from these different perspectives that you've got to talk about and things like that or the tools that you haven't really made and that's fairly just an error. 1st of all land mines are very inexpensive and how much is your sanity worth they're good for real emergencies I mean we've got earthquakes the really good if there's a real emergency the good if you want to find your phone and they're really good if somebody really need you on a text. So I just think it's really good to have if you don't have a printer that might be good but I've also written things by hand like when we did have to try definitely look at what's happening Saturday which feel to that I would remind the team reminder we're not there that's before cell phones before everyone be like I'm 10 minutes late I'm around the corner and party like yeah who cares we don't need the we don't need the ups so especially like the most profound fact I read a foundering research in the book was that it takes 23 minutes to get back into school after you've been distracted by a notification or tax. So just imagine how much for taking people out of their moment every single day so I talked a lot of it in the spark. A little prayer. And keep it on the counter with a Sharpie I love writing with a Sharpie and that is also good for Friday night when there's inevitably things like Oh I forgot. To tumble from your head have a place to put them they'll be there on Sunday. So people and then you know right people and you are liberated and set free I think people forget how good it feels reach well.
