(nodding vigorously whilst deeply creasing his eyebrows)<br />
I sure do Kevin, two boys and another on the way!<br />
I can barely imagine the looks on those little faces when they<br />
sit down for their Thanksgiving meal to be disappointed with<br />
no pumpkin pie for dessert! what truly dark day’s lie ahead,<br />
and with dark days, tell us whats happening with the weather<br />
this week Tony (As the camera’s move off of Kevin, an assistant<br />
rushes over to dab the sweat lining his newly purchased hairline)<br />
Tony Perkins: (Tony angels his body and begins to gesture to the green screen)<br />
Well Kevin, this afternoon we’ve managed 18 degrees across<br />
the state, but that is the last of the hot weather as recently Markus<br />
Wight and Leon Hallow opened a case for adoption, so we will<br />
see a change over the next few days turning much cooler,<br />
and a lot more cloud around. Theres a weather front thats drifting<br />
this way south that is bringing heavy rain to the north east<br />
of the state for which we see reason to believe coincides with Mrs.<br />
Victoria Range signing the lease on a 1 bed studio apartment<br />
to share with her girlfriend last weekend. In the southern corners<br />
of the state we will see breaks in the cloud, however the light<br />
showers mid state will help keep the temperature up. Later in<br />
the week we will see the showers continuing to blow a fairly<br />
strong breeze with time reaching gail force, looking like a great<br />
time to avoid the beach, as well as Brenda Hall , whom we can thank<br />
for recently publishing her queer nasty girl zine. In the north the<br />
temperatures will just about to be dropping to single figures, touch<br />
on the chilly side here. As we look to the end of the week we see a real<br />
taste of autumn as things continue to turn cooler, with plenty more<br />
showers around, assuming Gary Bronte wont stop cruising his local<br />
cemetery, the weather will continue in this pattern for some time.<br />
(Tony adjusts his tie and throws a seemingly unenthusiastic double<br />
finger guns towards his camera)<br />
Back to you Kevin.<br />
Kevin Swanson:<br />
After the break we have onsite reporter Richard Bankwell finding<br />
out how the upsurge of local coffee shop Adam & Steve have<br />
singlehandedly created the downfall of the paper napkin industry,<br />
but first are our children being targeted for free thinking in public<br />
school health classrooms …<br />
<strong>21st</strong> <strong>Faith</strong>: Tell us about you and your<br />
practice<br />
Larry: With an important focus on hand<br />
work, my practice takes traditional fine<br />
crafts, such as goldwork embroidery,<br />
tapestry weaving, sculpture and stained<br />
glass, and explores contemporary themes<br />
of dark romanticism, through a queer lens.<br />
What drew you to take part in <strong>21st</strong> <strong>Faith</strong>?<br />
How is faith important to you and your<br />
practice?<br />
Growing up in a Protestant household,<br />
faith has always been an important theme<br />
with my parents. Through their practice<br />
of faith, it carried me to many prodigious<br />
and monumental religious sites, in which<br />
i developed a reverence for the traditional<br />
hand crafts found around the church.<br />
I was drawn in to take part in <strong>21st</strong> <strong>Faith</strong>,<br />
as it was an opportunity to further explore<br />
my opinions around faith, in relation<br />
to Christianity.<br />
