Some
Kind of Trick
This season suggests
innocence. And this story reveals a person who
take advantage of such innocence. A town wants
something of its own to celebrate, and Ernie,
an opportunist of high caliber, finds he is
in the right place with the right idea. Of course,
he gets his just desserts, avocados, from a
very unexpected source..

Doug
Sutherland - Author, storyteller
Doug "Rabbit" Sutherland, born on a
Montana ranch, began his radio and television
career after high school, in Helena. While attending
classes toward a Broadcast Journalism degree at
the University of Utah, he worked at several Salt
Lake City stations, and returned to Montana at
the age of 23 as the youngest part-owner, general
manager of a radio-TV station in the history of
the industry. Leaving Montana on what he calls
a 40 year working vacation, Doug was owner and
general manager of KRIZ in Phoenix, and, after
its sale, a talk show host at KGO, in San Francisco,
where he earned credits toward a graduate degree
in Clinical Psychology at U.C., Berkley. He went
on to host morning shows at WFFM in Pittsburgh,
WLTF in Cleveland, and talk shows at WABC in New
York. Other stops in his career include radio
jobs with Clear Channel in San Antonio, and building
log cabins on Montana's Flathead Lake. Over the
years, he has written and voiced numerous stories
for National Public Radio. Doug's writing credits
include, Dear Friend, a book of letters, and The
Bunny Who Grew Up Well, the source of his nickname,
"Rabbit." His first newspaper column,
"Second Hand American," was published
during the nation's bi-centennial, and his current
syndicated column, "Minister of Reality,"
a 5-stanza poem of cultural satire, has been published
since 1990. His stories, poems, and essays have
been read in the New Yorker, the New York Times,
the Chicago Sun Times and other national publications.
A serious cyclist, he's peddled across the country
several times, owns no television, is an avid
cook, and, according to friends, is still a dork.
In 2004, Doug returned to Phoenix to concentrate
on his public radio work and other projects.
