he cover image is based on a photo I took of a young girl who happened to waltz into the yard early evening just past Solstice. It was up in Idaho where I had gone with friends to help an elderly couple move their 250 cows from winter to summer range. The granddaughter, Sophie, was about 12 years old and had come up from Utah with her mom to help the grandma cook for the crew.

I asked if I could take photos of her while she was swinging and she said fine.

I didn’t pose her at all, just watched and snapped as she played. I have lots of nice images of her and I will probably do a few more paintings from that set of images, but this pose when she stopped and looked away was by far my favorite.

I did a number of paintings of my own girls when they were about this age, just

2013:

Just Past Solstice on the cusp of becoming a woman but still in many ways living the world of a little girl. Watching Sophie playing on the swing like a little kid, yet physically starting to blossom, then pausing to look out over the fence, all speaks to me of that moment that lasts a few years in a girl’s life (or should).

I call it “Just Past Solstice,� because that is when we were there in Idaho moving the cows, and that is the moment in life that I am talking about—just entering the Summer of life.

So many more ways to run

BY DENNIS HINKAMP

B

ack in the near ancient past I was a prolific, if not distinguished, runner. I had logged enough miles to join the Round the World running club and had completed 10 marathons all before age 24.

Then came the dark years which I refer to as IRBP (Injury, Rest, Beer and Pizza).

When I snapped out of it in my early 50s, I found that everything had changed.

It was as if I’d been living in nuclear fallout bunker for three decades. What was once a simple one-foot-in-front-of-theother activity had mutated into something almost unrecognizable.

I drove by one of Cache Valley’s 32 Cross Boot Fit Camp emporiums and saw people running down the street backwards. I went to the sports equipment stores to retread my feet and found that it was selling something oxymoronically named “a barefoot running shoe.” What planet had I returned to?

It got worse. It turns out there are groups of people who pay lots of money to run these relays called RAGNAR. I thought RAGNAR stood for Really Awful Gnarly Numbing Agonizing Relay, but I was wrong. Actually Ragnar Lodbrock was some Scandinavian Viking sort of crazy person who may or may not have existed in historical records.

Okay, my bad. My friends who do this say they just love to spend two days in a van with 11 other sweaty people covering 200 miles in incremental chunks. To me it sounds like the worst family vacation ever.

There are other groups of people paying to enjoy the porcine pleasures of running through mud without the fear of becoming bacon afterwards. I have done this a few times, but it was usually the result of taking a wrong turn on a long trail run on

a rainy day. Some variations of these mud runs include actual military boot camp activities such as climbing over walls and slithering under barbed wire. I have watched all the evil drill sergeant movies ever made and this cannot end well.

Two weeks ago I saw a young woman at the gardeners’ market who looked as if she had tie-dyed not just her clothes but her body. The odd thing was that she was wearing running clothes. I’m all for self-expression, but I had to ask why she was decorated so.

She said she had just come from a Color Run. My 60s-self wanted to raise a 1968 Olympics John Carlos/Tommy Smith fist of solidarity with black power, but apparently that is not what it was about. The Color Run is a 5K race where they throw water soluble dye on you. It is a way to encourage first timers to experience the fun aspect of running. I approve.

Really, I approve of anything that gets people off the couch, away from any of their iThings and moving in any manner.

My heyday of running was way too disciplined and stoic. Running miles along the

side of the road for no good reason made you fair game to be mocked. You only joined the track or cross country team because you couldn’t get a letter in football, basketball or baseball. Things are better now.

Run long and prosper, my young friends. u Dennis Hinkamp can be seen simply putting one foot in front of the other several times a week on the Bonneville Shoreline trail in Logan.

In May, Utah Governor Gary Herbert delivered testimony on Utah’s attempted takeover of federal public lands to a congressional subcommittee. Though he toned down his radical states’ rights rhetoric, Herbert still made a number of disingenuous claims that the State of Utah does a better job of public lands conservation than do federal environmental policies. For instance, Herbert complained that national parks and national forests are underfunded (without mentioning GOP obstruction on passing a federal budget); that Utah forests are infested with bark beetles and subject to wildfires (both are side effects of warming climate, though Herbert is a climate change denier); and said that “special interest groups” create gridlock with litigation (which means citizens who care about public lands).

Herbert cited the popularity of Utah’s State Parks as evidence that they are well managed (but failed to mention that Utah’s parks are seriously underfunded and some have been threatened with closure). He praised SITLA for fostering prairie dog conservation (SITLA is the state agency providing marginally regulated access to state land as an incentive for tar-sands strip mining).

Perhaps the low point in truthfulness came when Herbert boasted, “Utah has never had a single recorded instance of hydraulic fracturing fluids polluting Utah’s waters.” (The composition of fracking chemicals is considered a trade secret which makes it nearly impossible to definitively link water contamination to fracking; a Harvard Law School report found that the FracFocus database used in Utah is “not an acceptable regulatory compliance method for chemical disclosures.”)

On the plus side, Herbert said the right things as far as negotiating solutions to Utah’s public lands battles. He testified that the process must include all willing stakeholders and interest groups, and must incorporate meaningful environmental protections. He admitted that people “flock to Utah because Utah lands are unique, precious; and visually, even spiritually, stunning,” which is clearly true. It is not as clear whether he’s right to say, “These lands will be just as precious and valued if they are managed by state or local entities.”

TINYURL.COM/HERBERTTESTIMONY, TINYURL.COM/HARVARDLAWSREPORT

Tar sands update While Utah Governor Gary Herbert was in Washington praising the State and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) as beneficial to schoolchildren and prairie dogs, his administration was working to turn Utah’s SITLA lands into ground zero for extreme energy development in the form of tar-sands strip mines.

Front-line Community hungthis huge banner along Moab marathon route

While local activists are working to prevent strip mining before it starts (see: Tar Sands Action Camp), other environmental groups have initiated a lawsuit hoping to keep the destruction from spreading onto lands managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM). A coalition of environmental groups has initiated a lawsuit against the BLM for violations of the Endangered Species Act in connection with the Record of Decision for Oil Shale and Tar Sands Allocations in over 810,000 acres of public land in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The coalition includes Grand Canyon Trust, Living Rivers, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Rocky Mountain Wild, Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club.

Can Utah manage wolves?

Scientists consider wolf reintroduction a major success to restore a keystone predator to Western ecosystems, but on June 7 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to take wolves off of the endangered species list and turn wolf management over to the states. In Idaho, Wyoming and Montana where wolves are already under state management they are being killed at alarming rates. Currently there are no wolves in Utah, but Utah law requires

ENVIRO-NEWS

the Division of Wildlife Resources to “prevent establishment of a viable pack of wolves within areas of the state where wolves are not listed as endangered or threatened.”

SLC recognized for resilience Salt Lake City is on a list of the top 20 “resilient cities” in America. The city earned praise for a master plan that considers predictions for a hotter, drier future climate; development of infrastructure to cope with minimize energy demand during heat waves; and efforts towards transitoriented development. Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker was also one of the 45 inaugural signers of the “Resilient Communities for America Agreement” along with Mayor Dana Williams of Park City, Utah. The selection was made by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, an association of local governments with a commitment to sustainable development.

Would cheaper fares increase transit use?

Mass transit is a key strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, but success requires getting people out of cars and on to busses and trains. The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has come under criticism for discouraging riders with the highest fares in the nation at $2.50 for an adult rider.

During the last General Session of the Utah Legislature, Representative Joel Briscoe (D-Salt Lake City) proposed an experiment to offer free transit in January and July—the worst inversion months—in order to test the idea that cheaper fares might encourage more riders.

Briscoe’s bill failed to pass, but the idea caught on. In June, Zions Bank partnered with UTA to offer 3,000 “Ride Clear” passes good for a week of free bus, TRAX and FrontRunner in July. The passes were snapped up in a day. It’s nice to see this good idea getting a fair test.

SOLAR

CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET

Solar becomes more affordable and efficient Utah is poised to soak up the rays hen Doug Hasbrouck looks across his horse property in Riverton to his barn, he sees more than a place to keep hay and horses. He sees a powerhouse. The south side of his barn is bathed in sun,

W

so in 2008 Hasbrouck outfitted the south roof with 18 200-watt solar panels and took energy production into his own hands.

“I basically don’t have a power bill anymore, which is nice,” he says.

The amount of solar produced energy in Utah has been on the uptick. At the end of 2012, solar energy production could supply power to about 1,900 homes.

The initial bill, though, was a doozy. After installation, design and equipment, he spent $30,000 on the project. Even after a $12,000 federal tax credit and a $2,000 state tax credit, he estimates a return of investment will take 12 to 15 years. The equipment should last for about 15 years after that, he says.

However, those interested in solar power might not have to choke down a bill of that size anymore. Since Hasbrouck installed his panels five years ago, the price of photovoltaic (PV ) panels has been plummeting—from a median value of $8 per watt for systems 10100 kilowatts in 2008, to $5.6 per watt in 2011, according to a Department of Energy report.

The report attributes the fall mostly to reduction in PV module prices, but indicates that costs in labor, marketing and inverters, which are used to convert DC power to AC, have also dropped.

The amount of solar-produced energy in Utah has been on the uptick. At the end of 2012, solar energy production could supply power to about 1,900 homes, says Sarah Wright, executive director of Utah Clean Energy. Solar energy production in Utah has jumped from nearly zero kilowatts in 2005, the year that the federal government enacted a solar tax credit, to almost 4,000 kilowatts of residential solar PV capacity in 2012. Utah commercial solar PV capacity was at nearly 10,000 kilowatts in 2012.

The Utah Center for Climate and Weather estimates 125 clear days and 101 partly cloudy days in the year for the state. Because of that, Wright says solar makes sense.

“Utah is one of the sunniest states in the nation,” she says. “We have an excellent solar resource.”

Hasbrouck said he often generates more energy that he uses, which is then supplied to the grid and results in credits. He uses those credits to get him through the winter months, when he is using more power than he generates.

The process of going solar requires some navigation. Wright suggests that potential solar users keep track of at least a year’s worth of electricity

BY SHANE FARVER bills to determine their energy use. Hasbrouck kept track of two years’ worth.

After determining power needs, the next thing on the list is to shop around for contractors, searching for the most reliable contractor at the best price. Those who want to stay on the grid or just keep AC appliances will need an inverter to convert DC power to AC power in addition to panels.

Hasbrouck saved by supplying some of the labor himself, but he decided to hire a professional when it came to the electrical work. He had to meet a few unforeseen demands. For instance, since he was merely putting something on a roof, he didn’t think he would need building permits from his city.

He did.

Those seeking solar don’t necessarily have to go it alone. Last year, Salt Lake County residents banded together to buy solar as a community. Residents took an online survey to become part of an effort that Sara Baldwin, senior policy associate for Utah Clean Energy, likened to a Groupon model for solar. In the end, 64 different homes were set up with solar power as part of the Solar Salt Lake Project.

“We were more than thrilled with the result,” Baldwin, who coordinated the effort, said. A similar effort is underway in Summit County.

Since going solar, Hasbrouck stands by his decision. There was that one time that his inverter went out, but he’s had no problems aside from that. He originally switched to solar to lessen the impacts of greenhouse gasses, but he now praises the system’s efficiency.

“That’s my experience actually doing it, not just reading about it.” u Shane Farver is a multimedia journalism instructor at Weber State University. He leads a dual life, with one foot planted in the technological stew and the other planted far from it in Utah's forests and deserts.

Safety solar The new Public Safety Building is the first of its kind under the sun

BY LACEY KNIEP

he talk of the town may come at a price of $125 million, but the sun will pay some of it back. The new Public Safety Building will be the first in the country to hit net zero—generating as much energy as it consumes when complete.

The project is part of Mayor Ralph Becker’s commitment to sustainability, Art Raymond of the Mayor’s office explains. “Mayor Becker recognizes the natural impact society has on resources and is very committed to sustainability,” he says. The new Public Safety Building is the first of its kind minimalizing its impact.

Completing the building is an array of solar panels above the entrance awning, the roof and a solar farm located offsite west of Salt Lake, at the site of the old Redwood Landfill (that portion is still in construction).

In November 2009, 65% of the voters gave a green light to the General Obligation Bond for the construction of the new Public Safety Building. “The current home for the police and fire department personnel has been recognized for over a decade as outdated,” Raymond says. The new structure is built to withstand an earthquake with seis-

mic activity up to 7.5, without affecting operation of the building.

The building achieves a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Rating as well as an internationally recognized green building certification. The building alone cost $83 million. The photovoltaic solar panels above the awning entrance and solar roof bring the total to $1 million, with the estimate for the solar farm in the ballpark of $2.1 million. Although costs add up, so does the return. “We expect the expenditures to be paid for in about five years once the solar farm is complete,” Raymond says.

The energy of the sun will also provide a water-heating system from the rooftop panels, and people will also be able to plug into the solar power through ports located around the building’s plaza area.

EnjiGO Making it happen for makers of all ages

he Maker culture in Salt Lake City has just enjoyed a facilities upgrade and expansion, so if you’ve ever yearned to learn more about electronics, 3D printing, robotics, laser cutting, CNC manufacturing, LED hacking, wood shop, Arduino programming, or just about any aspect of custom building new and cool widgets and tech art, it’s time to get off your duff and go start making things.

A consortium of makers from the

experience with the lively hackerspace at the windy city’s Pumping Station One and is a member of the board of directors of the new entity: “EnjiGO is a nonprofit foundation whose mission is to educate, provide makers with co-working space, and to help hardware entrepreneurs get their feet on the ground. Each of the nine members of the board put in somewhere from $1,000 and $4,000 to jump-start the organization. These are people who believe in people they haven’t met yet, and trust that makers are here in our city, looking for this kind of community and space.”

This is all very good news for local makers. “We’re building things up slowly, but the space is certainly useable right now by early adopters,” Duane says. “We’ll have a CNC router that will be useful for making circuit boards and wood

well—and this will really be a treat to use on wood, some plastics, and for engraving things like tile and granite.”

EnjiGO will also be offering classes covering everything from beginners soldering to mid-level circuit design and programmable LED lights. The new space, at 30 East Kensington Avenue, will hold a Grand Opening in the early fall. u —Alice Toler

Smells good, works great

ee Udall Bennion, a Utah artist, also knows the value of a good home remedy. The wife of a potter, she created a salve to soothe her husband’s dry, cracked hands—so often the bane of those who keep their mitts in wet clay all day. She found it was good for everyone’s skin, and that it also soothed insect bites and helped both dogs and horses heal up from scratches.

It even kept the biting flies away.

One summer, Lee’s oldest daughter Louisa worked as a guide on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Rafting is particularly hard on your hands, and Louisa kept hers in shape with some of Lee’s handmade salve. She shared it with her fellow guides, and by the end of the trip they were all asking, “Hey, could I get a little more of your mom’s stuff for my hands?” And Mom’s Stuff was born.

Extra virgin olive oil, locally harvested beeswax, wild harvested piñon pine pitch, sweet almond and apricot kernel oils, jojoba oil, lanolin, and essential oils of tea tree, rosemary and neem all go into this firm, piney-smelling ointment. You dig a

piece out with your thumbnail and it melts right into your skin as you smooth it on. I have a tendency to get scaly elbows, and Mom’s Stuff healed my rough spot right up.

Many of its ingredients have antifungal properties, and other customers have posted rave reviews about Mom’s Stuff’s ability to heal everything from chafing to stinky feet.

Bennion’s product is not available in stores—buy it online.

It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for: a highquality, locally made salve, manufactured in small batches, and containing superlative ingredients. Anyone who works with their hands will appreciate this fine remedy—carpenters, doctors, gardeners, climbers, beauticians and more.

SOLAR COOKING

Take it outside Beat the heat with a solar oven

BY PAX RASMUSSEN

ummer is barbeque time for a reason: Nobody likes cranking up the oven to 400 degrees when it’s 98 outside. But what do you do when you get tired of grilling everything imaginable?

For local urban homesteaders Jonathan Krausert and Julie Nelson, the answer’s easy: solar cooking.

Chances are you’ve heard of solar ovens, but the whole concept is pretty complicated, right? “Actually, it’s pretty foolproof,” Jonathan says, opening the Plexiglas door on his solar oven and pulling out a quiche.

“It’s an oven, it gets hot,” he laughs.

The quiche looks good: puffy and evenly browned across the top. “It’s a moist heat, so you can bake just about anything except crusty breads,” says Julie. And because it’s a moist heat, it’s pretty much impossible to burn or overcook your food—just keep an eye on the thermometer to make sure things are hot enough.

Solar cooking is nothing new. The first documented efforts were made by a Swiss naturalist named Horace de Saussure in the 16th century. But only recently has it been developed

S

Solar cooking is nothing new. The first documented efforts were made by a Swiss naturalist named Horace de Saussure in the 16th Century. But only recently has it been developed into something that actually makes sense on a day-to-day (at least in the summer) level. into something that actually makes sense on a day-to-day (at least in the summer) level. De Saussure’s

oven, for example, only heated to about 190 degrees—not enough to cook anything seriously. Krausert’s main oven—a commercially produced appliance called Sun Oven— can get up to 400 degrees at noon (when the sun is at its most direct angle).

The Sun Oven will set you back $300 or more (although Jonathan says he couldn’t build a replica for that price, so it might be worth it if you’ve got the dough), but a simpler version can be made at home.

Jonathan, for example, has a cardboard-and-Plexiglas model he whipped up in about 20 minutes.

That little box will get up to only

about 200 degrees, but that’s enough to cook some things if you’ve got the time. Raw pork sausage, for example, should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees to be safe. Jonathan’s little cardboard oven could safely cook one of his favorite solar oven dishes: sausage and sauerkraut.

Solar dehydration is even easier.

Jonathan and Julie have a large solar dehydrator, basically a vented box with a tempered glass top and screen shelves inside, which Jonathan built after using a commercial electric dehydrator that someone gave him as a gift. “It was like running a hair dryer for two days,” he says. That’s a lot of electricity for a few ounces of raisins. His homemade dehydrator, on the other hand, will dry 20 pounds of grapes in about a day and a half.

Plus, he built a channel along the bottom of the glass lid that collects condensed water, so in a pinch it could be used as a still. “You could put water from the ditch into this thing, and drink what comes out,” Jonathan says.

He’s also got experiments going with a couple of other models of solar ovens and dehydrators. One uses an old satellite TV dish, painted silver. It works, but he has plans for improvement.

It’s a relatively new field of ecological experimentation.

This summer, get out of the kitchen and onto the patio—cook up a casserole with nothing but the power of the sun! u Pax Rasmussen is CATALYST’s managing editor. He and his wife spend their free time fighting the weed war at their westside urban homestead.

Jonathan and Julie will be teaching a class on solar cooking and dehydrating this month. Register on Wasatch Community Garden’s website to learn the ins and outs of cooking with the sun.

Where have all the willows gone?

Native plant restoration on the Jordan River

BY KATHERINE PIOLI

hree men hunch low to the ground examining something closely. “Western ragweed, 8%,” says the white-haired man wearing a floppy fisherman’s hat.

“Cheatgrass, 5%; hound’s tongue, 5%; whitetop 10%,” he continues without hesitation. A young woman standing near the scrum scribbles furiously as the plant names are spoken.

“Are we doing this in Latin or common names?” asks another of the men.

Latin is better, they decide and then move on, continuing with both common and Latin names.

It is spring and I have joined three scientists on a fieldtrip to the Jordan River. My guides are Ty Harrison, an emeritas professor of biology at Westminster College specializing in restoration ecology; Arthur Morris, ecologist and conservation stewardship director for Utah Open Lands; and Marc Coles-Ritchie, vegetation ecologist. We stand on a white and weedy strip of the Jordan’s banks, a stone’s throw from the state prison, near the southernmost point of the Jordan Parkway Trail.

It is peaceful down here by the water. Groves of Russian olive trees throw abundant shade.

Phragmites (frag-mite-eez) grasses sway in the sky while wispy tamarisk limbs tickle the water.

Joggers, walkers and cyclists pass along the trail, no doubt drawn by the cool shade, the mallards and geese taking wing, the gentle flow of water.

To most, this place is a sanctuary. But to my three guides kneeling on the ground examining plants along the banks, it is an ecological disaster and a

T

system on the verge of collapse.

We are here today cataloging plants, a preliminary step in the process of restoration, an attempt to reverse the damage of nearly a century and restore the habitat to something that would be more familiar to the native people who, archeological diggings have shown, once lived on a small rise not 200 yards from where we stand.

Harrison, Morris and Coles-Ritchie roll out a yard tape and pick a number at random. Finding the digit on their line, they drop a 2 by 2-foot square of pvc-pipe, kneel and start naming vegetation in the random sample. Whitetop, wild lettuce, cheatgrass, cranesbill, reed canarygrass, aster, thistle, lance-leaf plantain, more cheatgrass. Little of what we are finding is native.

Whitetop is from southwestern Asia and cheatgrass from Asia and Africa. Though some thistle are native (mountain and elk thistle), the abundant musk, bull and Canadian thistles are all invasive.

Thousands of years ago the Jordan was not a single long river but segments of water caught in leftover sediments from the ancient Lake Bonneville. Over time, ponds, pools and short

To most, this place is a sanctuary.

But to my three guides kneeling on the ground examining plants along the banks, it is an ecological disaster and a system on the verge of collapse. canals formed into a massive riparian area, more marsh or flood plain or delta than river. Until not very long ago, this wetland habitat spread over nearly 12,500 acres of the valley.

When Mormon pioneers settled here in the late 1800s, they immediately began a campaign to control the water, opening land to grazing and to minimize flooding damage to crops. They channeled the water into the narrow path it follows today, drying up the wetlands. At the same time, discharge from agriculture began to degrade the water quality.

Up until this time willows likely dominated the vegetative landscape along the river flood plain, along with native grasses—Indian ricegrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, basin wildrye. A few native cottonwoods may have existed, though many were transplanted by the pioneers from populations in the Uinta Basin and southern areas of the state.

By contrast, what we see today, and what to most of us seems like a healthy natural ecosystem, is greatly out of balance. The grove of Russian olive trees, though beautiful, are invaders from western Asia and southeastern Europe introduced to the US in the 1800s as ornamentals. Their seeds spread to the wild and were established in Utah by the 1920s. Though their fruits are edible to birds, the trees cannot support the diverse insect life that native birds rely on for feed. Russian olive’s roots clog marshlands and its thick canopy prevents understory growth.

The lovely willowy tamarisk, imported as a solution to soil erosion, likewise comes from Eurasia and Africa. It, too, does not support the same levels of native wildlife populations as native plants and it expertly chokes out other flora by secreting salt into the soil, poisoning other plants around it.

“This is a 100-year flood plain we are standing on,” Ty Harrison, the plant identification expert in the group, tells me while on a break from hunching over naming plants. Thirty feet away, tamarisk grow so closely to one another I can’t see the river. Under our feet the ground is white and brittle and nearly devoid of vegetation. This short section saw minimal flooding two years ago during spring runoff. The last major flood came 25 years ago.

“There are some native plants here,” Harrison continues, “wild rose and squaw bush. But this would have once been a willow thicket, peachleaf willows.”

“Sounds less diverse than it is now,” says Morris..

“Structurally, it was,” says Harrison. “If I could have my way I would like to see cottonwoods

Mindful Yoga & Meditation here, and native willows in dense patches with canarygrass and western wheatgrass underneath.�

An ecosystem is energy, Harrison explains as we continue our walk down the bank, pushing through the scratchy net of tamarisk. A healthy ecosystem cycles and recycles, flowing energy naturally from sun to plants to animals. The Russian olive, cheatgrass and other non-natives, Harrison points out, do not allow for the proper flow of energy.

With some money and a lot of work, Harrison can almost guarantee a restored ecosystem within 10 years.

US environmentalism: a brief history To early European settlers, the apparent endless abundance of fish, forests, game and water encouraged a first-come-first-serve mentality.

But pollution, deforestation and other horrors of overuse and overharvest soon encouraged different thinking. George Marsh, looking at Europe’s depleted resources, warned of a similar fate brewing for America in his 1864 book Man and Nature: of Physical Geography as Modified by Human Action. He argued for better land use practices, lest the new country lose its growing strength and national identity.

Such thought set the stage for utilitarian conservation, an era that saw the creation of the National Forest system, led by national figures like Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roosevelt.

The thoughts and teachings of Emerson and Thoreau (now long dead) encouraged a second wave of environmentalism, romantic preservation. Wilderness and its

Mon: Tues: Wed: Thur:

beauty became valuable for its own sake, a matter of national pride.

Aldo Leopold argued for harmony between men and land. To Leopold, people were not separate from nature but rather part of the natural community. This period culminated with the passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964.

In the 1960s, a third movement took a turn back to the anthropocentric utilitarian movement but with more sinister undertones.

Apocalyptic environmentalism portends not only the end of species or ecosystems but the world as we know it and very possibly the human race. From Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring to Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, the apocalyptic environmental conscience is motivated by evidence of environmental decline and our own extinction.

Wading through the tamarisk, Harrison and I stumble upon a single peachleaf willow. Somehow, this little smooth-branched, pinkbarked willow has come back to the bank. Or maybe it has hung on through all odds. Harrison muses that in another 100 years, birds may bring in enough native seed to naturally restore the plain with native grasses. Or, he says, maybe not. u Katherine Pioli is a regular contributor to CATALYST. She lives and raises heritage fowl in the 9th & 9th area of Salt Lake City.

Breaking Pointe Ballet West and SLC shine on reality TV

BY AMY BRUNVAND

personalities as they compete for roles, rehearse and strive to perfect Paquita, Emeralds and Petite Mort — the same ballets that I saw on state last spring.

Salt Lake City looks like a great place to live, too, glamorously shot in color-saturated time-lapse footage, with fluffy clouds floating above the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains, glorious orange-red sunsets over the Great Salt Lake, and glittering city lights. The show is full of local color, shot at restaurants like the Coffee Garden, Este Pizza, Squatters and Redrock, or in outdoor locations such as Reservoir Park, Memory Grove and Diamond Fork Hot Springs.

Though Breaking Pointe stands on its own, for Utah viewers, seeing familiar people and locations is a large part of the enjoyment.

Life forgives; Ballet does not.

— “Breaking Pointe,” second season trailer

ummertime, and I’ve been making my way through the first season of “Breaking Pointe,” the reality show about Salt Lake City’s own Ballet West. Really, I should have watched it sooner. It’s a pleasure that’s not even particularly guilty.

On one level, of course, it’s a contrived reality show full of staged encounters and conversations that trump up all the romances and rivalries that develop in a group of

S

attractive, ambitious young people who spend too far much time together. But it’s also a genuine look behind the scenes of a professional ballet company, and a chance to see our old familiar Salt Lake City playing the role of Great American City.

Though “Breaking Pointe” stands on its own, for Utah viewers, seeing familiar people and locations is a large part of the enjoyment. I’m not personal friends with any of the dancers but I have season tickets to Ballet West so I’ve seen the cast dancing on stage countless times.

What fun it is getting to know their

There’s even kind of a storyline: In the first episode everyone finds out whether or not their contracts were renewed and determines exactly where they stand in the pecking order of the company. Prima Ballerina Christiana Bennett (34) plays the role of aging diva (“There are all these girls biting at my heels,” she says, but she’s still a noticeably better dancer than anyone else); 19 year old Beckanne Sisk (who remarks demurely, “Dance Magazine wants to write an article about me” ) is the rising star doing the biting; demi-soloists Allison DaBona (28) and Rex Tilton (24) carry on a rocky relationship (he wants romance; she has chosen ballet over love); Katie Martin (23), Beckanne’s best friend, loses her job at Ballet West but lands a new gig at Ballet Idaho; soloist Ronnie Underwood is ambitious for promotion to dancer principal but lacks consistency to match his charisma (or as the tattooed biker-dude dancer puts it, “If I get out there and I stroke it then I’m going to get more attention and it’s all about looking fly”).

Artistic Director Adam Sklute plays the rational calm at the center

of this storm of egos, insecurities, hormones, perfectionism and emotional outbursts. He’s generally full of praise for his dancers and tries to nurture Allison who is a gorgeous dancer undermined by bouts of self-criticism (Adam to Allison: “Finish your ballet. Don’t make a face. We’ll fix it”). But behind those puppy eyes, Sklute is ruthlessly willing to promote or demote any dancer at any time for the sake of the performance.

The other great character in Season 1 is Russian ballet mistress Elena Kunikova, an authority on the Russian classical style of ballet (showcased in Paquita) who literally looks down her nose as she cries “No, no, no, no, no!” and constantly halts the rehearsal to correct imperceptible imperfections. Elena disses Allison’s style declaring, “Allison has a personality. She has a very individual approach,” while Allison complains, “When I tell you it feels like a foreign language I’m not exaggerating,” and her rival the selfassured Beckanne claims that she finds dancing Paquita easy.

The show gives a little ego boost to us dance writers, too. As Christiana says, “Opening night usually means that there will be critics in the audience and there will be a review about you,” and there’s one scene particularly guaranteed to warm the hearts of journalists when the dancers gather to read aloud from the Salt Lake Tribune’s review of their opening night performance. As much as ballet dancers want their moment in the spotlight, writers want someone to care about our words.

The contradiction of “Breaking Pointe” is, reality TV is really anything but live and what these dancers desire most, after all, is the thrill of live performance. You get a taste of the dancing from the show, but you had to be at the Capitol Theater to see just how thrilling Petite Mort was on stage. However, unlike most reality TV audiences, Utahns can easily break through the fourth wall into real Salt Lake City locations and real Ballet West audiences, and that alone makes the show worth watching. u Amy Brunvand is a librarian at the University of Utah and a dance enthusiast.

I’m guilty, I chose a dog because she was beautiful.

Guinness, a Gordon setter, came to us as the cutest, sweetest, most gorgeous puppy. She then proceeded to wreak havoc on our lives as she grew to adulthood. We had done our research, read that Gordon setters were the most “energetic” of the setters (i.e. hyper), highly affectionate, medium intelligence, and needed beaucoup de exercise (again, hyper). There was a warning that they have powerful senses of smell (great for finding pheasant) which causes them to lose themselves in the moment and follow a scent literally anywhere.

Like the time Guinness sailed over a wall and landing two stories below while following a bird (she emerged unscathed). Or as with her ultimate demise, she followed a scent across a road and directly into the path of a truck.

We so wanted a Gordon setter that we really didn’t pay attention to her natural behavior. She simply was not the best breed for our lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, she was a special dog that we loved to distraction. We were committed to her and would never have considered giving her up, but we all suffered. She needed more exercise than we could provide, a larger yard, more jobs to keep her occupied. Realistically, she needed a hunter. She needed the life of the

hunting dog she was. And we needed a calmer dog.

I share this cautionary tale in hopes that it will inspire you to avoid the mistake I made in glossing over behavioral characteristics because I was in love.

Rather, choose your next companion as an informed, blessedly realistic and happy dog owner (who’s also in love).

Consider the qualities of the dog, its needs, the reasons you want one and what you can provide it, before you decide on a breed. Let’s reduce the number of dogs—roughly 2 million —that are surrendered to shelters nationwide each year by their owners, animals that are simply being true to their breed.

And remember, 25% of shelter dogs are purebred. Try them first before going to a breeder.

The remaining 75% of dogs in shelters, the mixed breeds, while a bit of a shot in the dark for knowing behavior tendencies and physical characteristics (though it is somewhat predictable if you know the mix), have fewer breed-specific health and temperament issues.

Often I’ve seen a highly intelligent, high-energy breed with neurotic tendencies mixed with a lowerenergy breed and the outcome is a smart, calm companion.

Or, say you want a running companion that is independent, medium-size, not too territorial, good with other dogs and people, quiet, highly trainable, low maintenance, short coat, long lifespan, and doesn’t drool?

Yep, that’s a fairly exhaustive list, but there are quite a few breeds and mixes that fit these characteristics.

Here are two helpful websites for choosing a dog. both have information on every breed, and interactive questionnaires for finding the best companion for your lifestyle. Each site has a different take so it’s a good idea to complete both questionnaires.

Product recommendation Our professional testing team (Joe and Stella) tried out LICKS for Dogs—an all-natural line of canine liquid vitamins and supplements.

They come in single-serving packets that may be added to food as a tasty gravy, which is also more easily absorbed than pill form. Both dogs gave LICKS a “thumbs up.” That is if they had opposable thumbs…

Three tasty formulas are available: Joe tried JOINT+HEART with omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and vitamin E for his old bones, and Stella tried Zen Calming with ingredients such as chamomile root, tryptophan, theanine and ashwagandha root that promise to calm her maniacal tendencies.

warehouse shelves for long periods of time, a typical practice for many importers, says Woodland, who claims this hands-on approach maximizes the vitality and flavor of the 170 varieties offered to its online and local customers.

The Emperor’s Tea was founded in 1999 by Rivetti, a scientist who is passionate about the natural healing properties of tea. The company offers not only tea but natural body products, too, including “nanoinhalers,” which send neurochemical signals to the brain that promote specific outcomes. Sales come mainly from online orders but, Woodland says, “We love being part of Utah and Salt Lake City.” Because of this, The Emperor’s Tea sponsors and participates in local events and nonprofit causes.

is one of most popular beverages in the world, second only to water. Real tea comes from the evergreen Camellia Sinensis plant, and so encompass the Black, Green, Oolong and White varieties. The terms herbal tea, tisane or herbal infusion refer to tea-like beverages that are made by steeping different varieties of plants in water to extract the essence.

Tea consumption started out as a medicinal practice in ancient China. Every year, the health benefits of tea are becoming more widely known in modern culture, according to Rivetti, including muscle endurance, heart health, blood sugar control, bone strength, stress alleviation and more.

The body’s absorption of tea’s valuable antioxidants depends upon the variety, any additives, the method of preparation and the freshness maintained throughout the processing and packaging methods.

The Emperor’s Tea owns its own farm in Vietnam and handles the entire process including distribution, packaging and labeling. This prevents tea leaves from sitting on

One benefit of ordering tea direct from growers and distributors is the opportunity to enjoy an unusually fresh product. You can tell how fresh tea leaves are by how much they expand in water, says Rivetti.

As with most connoiseurs, he does not recommend bagged tea.

Loose tea offers these advantages: • Loose tea uses the premium parts of the plants. Because it is not ground, it maintains its aromatic oils. Bagging tea increases oxidation.

• Loose leaves allow more water flow during steeping, maximizing the fresh tea’s flavor and health benefits. (To further increase the body’s antioxidant absorption, Rivetti suggests a little lemon or black pepper in the tea.)

• The methodical process of making a cup of tea (versus dunking a bag) can create a mindful state.

“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things,” wrote novelist Muriel Barbery. “Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?”

CHAKRA SERIES

CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET

he chakras are a metaphysical system of the body from the yogic tradition, used in both religious and medical Hindu and Buddhist canons. The chakra energy centers are usually depicted as seven lotuses of rainbow colors arrayed along the spine and up into the head.

Understanding of this system has long been used both to heal illness and to promote spiritual enlightenment.

Todd Mangum, M.D.’s series on the chakras explains how this conceptual framework can be used to expand our understanding of how our bodies work. He covers the traditional and contemporary interpretations of the chakra system corresponding to various systems of the body. To be healthy is to have a free and balanced flow of energy through the body. Engaging this powerful symbolic system can help us to achieve and maintain health in a far more nuanced and active way than Western medicine can by itself.

Chakra 4: AnÄ hata

Unconditional love

BY TODD MANGUM, M.D. Location: center of the chest.

Governs: immunity.

Main issue: the ability to feel self acceptance and unconditional love Externalizes: as the thymus gland.

Element: air.

When balanced: we feel compassionate.

Color: a harmonic of GREEN. Key words: healing, ecstasy, serenity, intimacy, nurturing, forgiveness, joy, grief, oxygen and balance.

Influences: heart, blood vessels, lungs, diaphragm, thoracic spine, ribs, breasts, arms and hands.

Deficiencies: manifest as feelings of isolation, loneliness, low self esteem, jealousy and anxiety. Shallow respiration with an inability to take a deep breath or feelings of pressure in the chest are also indicators.

Excesses: manifest in codependent relationships where we give ourselves away and lose our center.

Imbalances: manifest physically as asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, hypertension, heart attacks, palpitations and immune dysfunction including allergies, immune deficiencies and autoimmune diseases. he energy of the 4th chakra can be easily felt.

Unfortunately for many, this only becomes obvious after experiencing the breakup of a desired relationship or the loss of a dream. The resultant pain felt in the center of the chest is what we call a broken heart.

It is our false belief in the scarcity of love that generates these feelings and resulting defensive and offensive behaviors. When the heart center is fully

T

open, these feelings and behaviors fade away because we realize that a shortage of love is impossible. Love is our natural state of being and the more we give away, the more we get back.

Through the crown or seventh chakra we connect with the Cosmos, the home of the Divine masculine; through the base or first chakra we connect with the Earth, the home of the Divine feminine. It is only through the heart chakra, however, the center point of the seven chakras, that we can fully manifest the totality of our divine energy. The heart, not the head, is the portal through which we can both return to and become Source once again.

Through the heart we experience ecstasy.

The endocrine gland which interfaces with the fourth chakra is the thymus gland, which is located behind the sternum. It is the master regulator of the immune system and secretes hormones which include thymosin and thymopoetin. These hormones stimulate certain white blood cells, the immune system’s living defense network, to migrate to the thymus where they mature and develop the ability to protect against and resolve infections and cancers.

The immune system is incredibly complex and intelligent. Included in this system, in addition to the thymus, are the lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow. Lymph nodes are found throughout the body and act as filters for detecting and removing potentially harmful substances from the lymphatic system. The spleen acts as a giant lymph node which filters blood instead of lymph fluid. The bone marrow is the origin of both red blood cells and white blood cells.

White blood cells which are also called leukocytes consist of a vast array of different cell types. A routine blood test called a CBC measures the total number of white blood cells which is an indicator of immune function. A high number usually indicates an acute infection but can also be a marker for certain cancers like leukemia. A low number often indicates some sort of immune suppression and is a common finding in HIV infection, AIDS and chronic fatigue and immune deficiency syndrome (CFIDS).

White blood cells are divided into five categories which include lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils. Monocytes develop into cells that act like pac-mans and roam the body engulfing unwanted visitors and cleaning up after other immune cells have neutralized the danger.

Neutrophils are especially important in the defense against bacteria. Lymphocytes are perhaps the most interesting of all and are particularly important in our defense against viruses.

The lymphocytes are the cells which retain the memory of what we have been exposed to in the past. They are the cells that confer immunity against illnesses like the measles and chicken pox once we have had the illness or hopefully after we have been immunized. Lymphocytes are further divided into T cells and B cells. T stands for thymus which is where these cells mature. T cells are predisposed to respond to specific foreign substances called antigens. These cells are responsible for the intense reaction that occurs when we become sensitized to substances like poison ivy. Helper T cells also called T4 or CD4 cells are responsible for producing chemical messengers like interferon which

Many people who suffer repeated infections also are the ones who often develop numerous allergic reactions. It is as if a chronically stimulated immune system exhausts its ability to effectively defend against infections, yet in its attempt to do so, overcompensates by attacking everything else including its own body. tell other immune cells what to do.

T4 cells are the ones which decline dramatically in AIDS. B cells produce antibodies which are also called immunoglobulins.

Antibodies are proteins which target or flag antigens for elimination. Immunoglobulins are further divided into subsets which include IgG and IgE. IgE is what causes the immediate allergic, and sometimes life threatening, reaction people have to certain foods, and substances like bee venom. It is also the cause of hay fever. IgE causes the release of histamines which is why we use antihistamines to combat allergies. It is routinely measured in the skin prick allergies tests. A much less commonly done allergy test involves testing the blood for IgG sensitivities. IgG can cause immediate reactions but more often these reactions are delayed for hours, sometimes even days. Most food allergies are mediated through IgG. The skin prick allergy test will not pick these allergies up. Many people who have this skin test done will be told they are not allergic to certain foods when in fact they are.

A simple blood test is available which measures both IgG and IgE reactions to over 100 different foods and spices. It is a good test to do for chronic problems like digestive disturbances, skin rashes, fatigue states and sinus problems.

Interestingly many people who suffer repeated infections also are the ones who often develop numerous allergic reactions. It is as if a chronically stimulated immune system exhausts its ability to effectively defend against infections, yet in its attempt to do so, overcompensates by attacking everything else including its own body. The end results can include worsening food and environmental allergies, eczema, and autoimmune conditions and lingering infections. These skirmishes require enormous energy and often leave the person exhausted.

Fortunately the herbal and nutritional world is full of solutions to

address this perplexing set of circumstances. The celebrated Chinese tonic herb astragalus and the tonic mushrooms ganoderma, grifola, polyporous and tremella are frequently used to treat chaotic immune systems. Pharmacological evaluation has shown these particular herbs contain polysaccharides which have immune regulating properties.

Polysaccharides are long-chain sugars which exert an activating and normalizing influence upon both the T cell- and B cell-regulatedimmunity. In addition to their ability to enhance resistance to viruses, bacteria, yeast and parasites they have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Quercitin is a bioflavonoid commonly used to treat allergies that has also demonstrated antiviral properties. It should be taken with bromelain to increase its absorption.

Adequate vitamin C, zinc and selenium are also essential for proper immune function.

Breath is the key to opening the heart chakra, energizing the body, clearing our emotions, increasing mental clarity and accessing expanded states of consciousness.

Most spiritual traditions of the world equate the breath with the universal life force. It has been called qi by Taoists, prana by Hindus and mana by Hawaiians.

These traditions and many others have developed conscious breathing exercises in order to transform themselves and enter states of bliss and ecstasy.

Activities to open the heart will also help regulate the immune system. Sign up for a transformational breathwork class. Laugh a lot.

Volunteer for a cause dear to your heart. Go to the mountains for a breath of fresh air. Celebrate Earth days. Plant a tree. Buy more plants.

Fill your home with green ecofriendly products. Give generously and receive graciously. u Todd Mangum, MD, is director of the Web of Life Wellness Center in downtown Salt Lake City.

LOCAL FOOD

Avenues Bistro on 3rd takes local food to a new level STORY & PHOTOS BY ADELE FLAIL

ach month, CATALYST brings our readers tales of fascinating local endeavors—entrepreneurs launching new restaurants or retail businesses, gardeners digging, composting and planting their way to greener communities, or locals organizing to improve the vitality of the city we share—but this month, we’re going to take you on a tour of a local business bringing all of these ideas together in the vision of one mover and shaker who understands that, if you want the fruit, sometimes you just have to climb out on a limb. For Kathie Chadbourne, proprietor of the Avenues Bistro on 3rd, out on a limb is par for the course.

“I’m not afraid to take risks,” says Chadbourne, looking around the patio garden of her newest venture. “I probably take too many risks, but I seem to move in the right direction.” Chadbourne is a free spirit whose travels have taken her all over the US and through many occupations and settings: school in Baton Rouge, a degree in nursing and classes in open-heart surgery assisting, studies in dental hygiene and elementary education, raising funds for private schools as a development director, taking part in the LDS relief society, and living on a Navajo reservation.

But since first relocating to Salt Lake 13 years ago for her then-husband’s job, in between her tumbleweed travels, she’s found herself returning to the Avenues—and the connections she’s made here—again and again. “I think the bistro’s story begins this way: I’m not from Utah, but I’ve chosen to call Utah my home.”

Chadbourne, who co-owned and ran the Avenues Bakery, moved to Ashland, Oregon where she ran a restaurant called Harper’s for a few years. Upon her return to Salt Lake about four years ago, she participated in several other food-related endeavors.

Committed to starting a neighborhood bistro that would showcase the best of the neighborhood and the local community, Chadbourne’s project found a home in the

E

building at 564 East and 3rd Ave, and a kindred spirit in now-landlord Jude Rubadue, a chef and staunch supporter of the local Slow Food movement. There seemed to be many obstacles in the bistro’s path: “When I walked through the door and shook her hand, I knew I didn’t have any money, but she didn’t know I didn’t have any money,” Chadbourne notes wryly. But longstanding connections in the community, and the hard work put in on other projects, turned up a crew eager to help move those obstacles out of the way. A friend asked if a loan of $5,000 would help—the amount exactly what she needed to get the lease signed and the ball officially rolling. The next day, phone calls to 20 former patrons of the lost-and-lamented Avenues Bakery netted 20 loans of $500 each. Chadbourne herself sacrificed for her vision by selling off her possessions, including a treasured collection of Navajo rugs.

Most of the Bistro garden is located next door—Chadbourne rents land from Balbina’s Hair Cottage, filling the space with raised beds for salad greens and a small forest of fruit trees.

Within four months of signing the lease, and with additional collaboration from Rubadue, the building renovations were completed, and the Bistro opened to the public.

Today, the Avenues Bistro on 3rd is doing well: Half of the money collected through Chadbourne’s homemade “micro-loan” system has been paid back, and response from diners has been enthusiastic. But the growth happening at the bistro isn’t all of the metaphorical, financial

variety, and while Chadbourne has demonstrated both vision and grit to make the eatery a reality, most of the grit she displays these days is the kind that shows up under your fingernails from digging in the garden.

Visitors to the bistro patio will find raised beds filled with lettuce, potted grape vines twining up the wall, and strawberries plumping up under the dappled pine-shade on the patio (but don’t expect these last items on the menu any time soon— Chadbourne admits that she and her staff are too fond of the freshgrown treats), and yet this only hints at the intense construction and production going on around back.

Chadbourne herself rents a home three doors down from her establishment, and has collaborated with her neighbors in between to tuck a bountiful urban farm into their shared backyard space. Behind the eponymous salon Balbina’s Hair Cottage, Chadbourne has filled the yard with young fruit trees, many raised beds, and a greens garden that stretches along the east wall of the Bistro. A short path through another neighbor’s backyard leads to Chadbourne’s own yard, where she composts food scraps from the bistro, has recently installed a fledgling hive of bees, and constructed a magnificent chicken coop. Foundations are also being laid for two greenhouses to start seedlings and extend the growing season, one of which will hold an aquaponics system.

As to her goals for the garden, Chadbourne explains that she’s been

planning to use as much of the property as she can to grow the maximum amount possible in this neighborhood Eden, but there will still be practical limitations. “How much lettuce can you really grow inhouse when you have 6,000 guests that come through in a month?”

Chadbourne asks. But she notes that Salt Lake is lucky to have so much available already: To the delight of last summer’s customers (and neighbors who flocked to the grown-up version of the ice cream truck), sellers from the Downtown Farmer’s Market stopped by on the way out of town to sell local produce to the bistro, and Chadbourne expects to reach out to the nearly 90 or so local providers she used last year.

In fact, she’s planning an experiment with her menu over the summer that will take her desire to source her products locally up to 11: “I’m committed to trying a 100% local menu—I’m shooting for August 1. Of course I’m not quite sure if we’re going to have olive oil, but we’ll see if we can figure something out,” she says. And while she doesn’t know how long the menu will remain feasible, or what other issues she’ll run into, she anticipates that it will be an adventure in learning to prepare simple, local foods.

As for other experiments, Chadbourne is always looking for ways to be a good neighbor, and a good member of the community. To address some of the early concerns held by the Bistro’s neighbors, especially those with young children, she’s posted “Bistro Etiquette” urging

patrons to avoid swearing, and to use their church voices when leaving the establishment after 10 p.m. “For me, I don’t really like rules, but I feel that people need to know what my intentions are for the neighborhood.” Chadbourne also looks for ways to deepen her employees’ connections in the community. “My ultimate goal is to be an employeeowned restaurant and give the people who work hard and are really into this the opportunity to feel some real ownership,” she says.

For now, getting the various garden projects wrapped up is one of her main goals. Luckily, Chadbourne has help, with volunteers from the neighborhood pitching in. “Every day I wake up and think, this is so beautiful, this is such an opportunity, it’s a privilege to be in Salt Lake serving food to my neighbors and my friends.” u Adele Flail is a CATALYST staffer.

Snails and slugs in the garden Control without killing

BY MARGARET PARK ertain armies do march on their stomachs. I’m referring here to those life forms known as gastropods whose name means—literally – stomach foot. Better known as snails and slugs they actually are much more into making love than war—they’re hermaphroditic, so every one of them is a potential mom. Yet, when I see a dozen or so snails gathered around the stubs of petunia plants, the term “army” doesn’t seem off base.

Snails and slugs strike by night when the ground is moister, temperatures are cooler and we’re not around to spot them and do something about them. Picking them up and moving them away is an effective deterrent. Placed on lawn areas or in the clover patch, they’ll get into less trouble for a while.

Snails are rather peaceful creatures and do have decorative appeal. They surely have roles to play in the grand scheme of things. We can limit their destructive power rather than killing them simply because they eat our plants. Larger plants can handle some nibbling, so even if the gastropods do manage to find the flourishing lettuce patch, they are little creatures and don’t eat that much.

However, they cause unrecoverable damage when the garden is freshly stocked with tender seedlings.

The summertime sowing of the fall crop can be a particularly hazardous time for the vegetable garden. Snails and slugs can eat every seedling down to the ground.

A 4 x 5 foot roll of 1/4 inch hardware cloth is $18 from which you could make two cages roughly 2x3 ft. or 3 ft.x 5 inches—about $9 a cage.

The summertime sowing of the fall crop is a particularly hazardous time for the vegetable garden. Snails and slugs can eat every seedling down to the ground. strips of copper flashing, my confidence in this advice dropped sharply. Surrounding vulnerable plants with eggshells is another often mentioned folk remedy. While I haven’t tested eggshells as a deterrent, I have tried other kinds of sharp or pointy materials without much success. There are no less than a dozen YouTube videos showing snails crawling over razor blades.

In recent years, scientists at the Agricultural Research Service in Hawaii looking for ways to control an invasive frog species chanced upon a non-toxic repellent for snails and slugs: caffeine, a suspected neuro-toxin to these mollusks but obviously not harmful to humans

area. Since the coffee grounds are acidic, they should even help balance soil pH. Armed with all of this information, I set out to test the most effective methods of non-lethal snail control that I could use in my home garden. (There isn’t much of a slug population in my area, so my discoveries may only hold for snails and perhaps not for slugs, though I think they’re worth a try.) Following are some of the things I’ve learned.

Copper: The copper strips that my husband nailed to the wooden border around the vegetable garden may have worked initially when the surface was clean and untarnished, but keeping the copper surface fresh demanded more maintenance than I was up for.

Caffeine: The grounds have a tendency to disperse with watering and also lose their potency after a few days. Corralling the coffee grounds with inch-high rings cut from plastic milk or soda bottles helped the coffee stay in place. Concentric rings with coffee in between the larger diameter outer ring and smaller inner ring worked even better, but the grounds still needed to be refreshed every day or so.

Tea leaves: Tea leaves had little deterrent power compared to spent coffee grounds.

Onion oil: Onion pieces and leaves can be steeped in foliar spray solutions such as compost tea, or Activated EM solution to make a pungent spray mix that the snails avoid, and the solution itself is nourishing for the plants. I tested a compost tea onion spray on bean and cucumber seedlings with very good results. Daily spraying is advisable.

Wire cage barrier: I came up with this strategy after losing most of my fall crop seedlings last summer. For spring planting, I shaped quarter- inch hardware cloth—a kind of wire mesh— into a box-like cage (without a bottom) and placed it over newly seeded areas, making sure it was firmly set into the soil. The five-inchhigh sides of the cage gave the seedlings plenty of headroom to grow to a size less susceptible to overnight destruction. These cages kept the snails at bay for many months without having to do another thing for protection. The biggest drawback to the wire cage is the initial expense. However, given the longevity of metal and my practice of successive crop sowing, the investment in hardware cloth will eventually be a cost effective solution compared to buying new seeds or plants lost to snail consumption. u Margaret Park is the author of More Food from Small Spaces: Growing Denser, Deeper, Higher, Longer Gardens (2012: Great River Books) She lives and gardens in Salt Lake City. Watch her make the wire cages on Facebook at Center Square Gardens: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1CJIp2pj2w

Editor’s note: While the results are fatal to the snail, we have come upon one other method of control that at least honors the circle of life: feeding snails to the chickens.

We do this only with the smaller snails, which the hens consume in one gulp. Shells of the larger snails are too hard, and the resulting football game and torture is a bit much to watch, so we find a scrubby area to deposit the adults.

Another method, taught to us by our friend who left us two years ago, artist/ gardener/cookbook author Kenvin Lyman, is to collect the snails and “clean them out” —that is, feed them cornmeal and grape leaves for a few days—before preparing a tasty meal of escargot. Again, not exactly snail-friendly, but it does render them useful.

BEST MUSEUM 2011 | 2012 | 2013

BY PAX RASMUSSEN f Monsanto, Dow, Bayer and Du Pont had their way, the first line of response for a couple dandelions in the drive would be a hefty dose of glysophate (Roundup). And that’ll work—but as much as Monsanto would like you to believe, it’s not the safest option. Flip back to April 2012’s CATALYST and check out Alice Toler’s article, “Roundup Unready� (or go to TINYURL.COM/ROUNDUPUNREADY) for some pretty convincing evidence about why glysophate isn’t the safe, worry-free compound the chem manufacturers say it is. The stuff is an endocrine disrupter, it washes off into waterways, and it’s found in the urine of just about everyone in the U.S. and Europe.

Most of the problems posed by glysophate are caused by large-scale, industrial agriculture use. Big Ag sprays (literally) hundreds of millions of gallons of the stuff each year in the U.S. alone. While it’s unlikely that a gallon carefully applied in the yard will hurt you or your family, each drop contributes to the overall environmental contamination by this chemical that is turning out to be more pervasive and persistent than anyone thought.

Occasionally we face dilemmas that offer only unsavory solutions. If the situation arises where you must use a chemical weed killer, and Roundup is the best weapon for the job, do it right. The Big Gulp, Super-Sized approach doesn’t cut it—at best, it’s a waste. At worst, it’s harmful (and may make your neighbors hate you). Use it correctly, and you will minimize environmental glysophate contamination. Small amounts break down quickly in sunlight and in water.

My wife and I use it in our yard from time to time—judiciously. You see, we have bindweed. Lots of bindweed. Our property was a rental for many years before we bought it, and the hooligans and crackheads that owned our house before us neglected (read: completely and utterly ignored) the landscaping.

Bindweed loves an uncultivated yard.

We’ve tried several unsuccessful methods of bindweed eradication, including shouted insults and recriminations, solarization, landscape fabric and mulch, vinegar, boiling water—and these things do work, but only to a point. You can kill the bits of the plant above the surface, but bindweed has roots that can go down up to 30 feet, and it can survive two years without sunshine or water—waiting, like Alien egg pods, for the return of hosts, er, nutrients. I’ve

I

heard reports on the Internets that three or more years of cutting/mowing bindweed, allowing it to get no more than eight inches tall/long, will eventually kill the main plant, but it can travel under cloth/mulch more than 25 feet in search of borders. Cement is no barrier. I admit I’ve been tempted to let loose with a hellfire cannon of glysophate—but guess what?

Even Roundup doesn’t work so well against the stuff. Sprayed at the wrong time of day, not much is absorbed through the leaves, and sprayed at the wrong time of year, nothing much happens at all. It will yellow (and maybe kill) the bit of the plant above ground, but it won’t solve the underlying problem.

sunshine). To a lesser extent, bindweed is also bringing nutrients down in the spring after the first growth has appeared, in preparation for summer’s flowers.

Applied in the fall or spring, glysophate is absorbed and transported to the main plant body. This is a much more effective way of killing a well-established bindweed infestation.

So right now, I’m mowing my bindweed to keep it from going to seed (the seeds can remain fertile up to 50 years!), and will be spraying small, targeted amounts of Roundup this fall. I’ll make sure to do it on a warm, sunny day, and spend the extra time using the sprayer with low pressure, targeting the spray to coat only the

If you must use Roundup, do it right. Sprayed at the wrong time of day, not much is absorbed through the leaves, and sprayed at the wrong time of year, nothing much happens at all. It will yellow (and maybe kill) the bit of the plant above ground, but it won’t solve the underlying problem. Do not spray Roundup now—wait till autumn.

To kill bindweed with Roundup requires either heavy, repeated applications over a period of years, or one or two applications properly timed: in late fall and/or early spring.

How Roundup works Roundup does its dirty work by being absorbed into a plant through its leaves and traveling to the main body of the plant—where it inhibits an enzyme the plant needs to live. The problem is, bindweed is tough and can handle a small dose of glysophate just fine. During the summer, when most folks are spraying weeds, bindweed isn’t transporting much nutrient down to the main plant body underground. Instead, nutrients are leaving the main body and being used to make flowers and seeds. In the fall, however, after going to seed, bindweed is storing up water, nutrients and energy from the sun, bringing all that good stuff down deep underground where it is used next spring to make the first growth. (This is also how it survives two years under plastic without

bindweed leaves. I don’t want this stuff anywhere else in the yard. I’ve even heard stories of folks applying Roundup concentrate with a cotton swab, or with a cottongloved finger dipped in the stuff (latex glove on underneath, of course!).

Also important is to make sure that glysophate doesn’t get on or near any blossoms (not usually much of a problem in late September or early October), because it’s hell on bees. Making sure to not to spray when it could rain within 48 hours is also important: Roundup either absorbs completely into the plant or breaks down in the sun fairly quickly, but even a short shower will wash it off, rendering it ineffective and contaminating nearby plants.

YOGA POSE OF THE MONTH

The Yogic Snake Dancer Bhujangasana (cobra pose)

BY CHARLOTTE BELL

hat’s an eight-syllable name that, when spoken by a yoga teacher, elicits fear in roughly half the population that practices yoga? The same phrase evokes a feeling of invincible awesomeness in many others.

Answer: Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose).

Chaturanga looks like a push-up, but it’s not. It’s primarily practiced as a transition pose in Sun Salutations, often between Downward Facing Dog and Upward Facing Dog or Cobra. Chaturanga requires a great deal of upper body strength, and therefore, it also builds the upper body. In addition, it builds core strength, especially if you engage a funny little structure called the hyoid bone while you practice it.

The hyoid bone is the human version of the wishbone. It’s a small, u-shaped bone in the front of your neck that sits just below your chin and above your thyroid cartilage. Place your right thumb on the right side of your neck just below your chin and your index finger on the left side. You can feel the ridges on its surface if you palpate the area. Its primary functions are to help move the tongue and to facilitate swallowing.

The position of this little bone powerfully affects your posture. If your chin and hyoid bone jut forward or your head tilts back, your entire core—internal structures such as your organs—will push forward into your abdominal wall.

When you draw your hyoid back, lengthening the back of your neck and lifting the base of your skull, your organs and abdominal wall draw back, giving frontal support to your spine.

If you’re jutting your chin out and throwing your head back in Chaturanga, your organs and abdomen will sag toward the ground, making

When cobras dance, they raise one third of their body length, while the other two thirds stay grounded. It’s that grounding of the majority of the lower body that allows the upper body to rise toward the sky. the pose even more difficult as your arms fight the weight of your core.

Drawing your hyoid back allows your core to lift up into your back body, stabilizing your pose.

There are many ways to approach Chaturanga. Here’s one: Start in Downward Facing Dog on a nonskid mat. Draw your hyoid bone back so that the back of your neck lengthens. Maintain this position throughout.

Now shift your whole body forward, keeping your pelvis higher than your shoulders. Roll your shoulders back so that your shoulder blades slide down your back.

With your pelvis still high, bend your elbows, keeping them close to your sides. Only when your chest is a few inches from the floor should you bring your pelvis to level with the rest of your body, at least when you’re first starting to practice Chaturanga.

Here’s why: If you lower your pelvis too fast it will come to the floor first. Once it’s on the floor it’s really difficult to lift it back up to level. So if you find your pelvis reaching the floor before your elbows are fully bent, return to Dog

Pose and start over, keeping your pelvis high in the air.

Once you’re in the pose, turn your toes under and lengthen back through your heels, actively lifting your legs upward. Simultaneously lengthen through the top of your head in the opposite direction. Take a few breaths before coming to rest on the ground or moving into Down Dog or Cobra.

Opinions on hand placement abound. The most popular alignment “rule” is that your forearms should be vertical in this pose, but if your humerus bones are extra long—like mine are—this alignment is inefficient. Experiment with your hand placement—anywhere from underneath the chest to under the lower ribs.

If Chaturanga is just not happening for you—I confess that it took me a year to be able to hold myself up in the pose—here’s another approach: Place a yoga block flat on the floor underneath your pelvis.

Starting with your chest high, bend your elbows into Chaturanga position, press your hands into the floor and activate your legs. Remember your hyoid bone. You may find your pelvis lifting a millimeter or two off the block. This variation helps train your upper body and allows you to understand what an aligned pose feels like even if your upper body is not ready to hold you up.

The most helpful skill in learning Chaturanga is patience. It can take a long time to build the upper body strength and alignment to practice efficiently. If you regularly practice Chaturanga in a fast-paced vinyasa class, take care not to overdo it.

More is not always better. Rather, practice with care and remember that the freedom available to you in any pose depends on the quality of your attention, not what your pose looks like. u Charlotte Bell is a yoga teacher, author and musician who lives in Salt Lake City.

METAPHORS FOR THE MONTH

BY SUZANNE WAGNER

A Tarot reading for CATALYST

July 2013

Method to universal madness Osho Zen Tarot: Friendliness, Celebration, Existence Medicine Cards: Otter, Swan Mayan Oracle: Polarity, Chichan Ancient Egyptian Tarot: Seven of Disks, The Devil, Strength Aleister Crowley Deck: Queen of Wands, Prince of Cups, The Priestess Words of Truth: Transformation, Truth, Change ere we are finally and fully into the Grand Water Trine for the next year and as our emotions begin to open and flow, it restores a feeling of trust in the world and the possibility that there might be a bit of method to the universal madness over the past three-plus years.

I like to think of this trine as the official return of the divine feminine to the planet.

The past few years have felt like we got caught up in a slew of metaphorical earthquakes where the foundations of our reality have been shaken to the point of crumbling and breaking down our old self and perspective around money, life, trust, love, work and spirituality.

Now there is a tsunami of water to soothe and bathe us into a calmer perspective. The divine feminine returns and is washing away the chaos of the past and allowing us to wipe the slate clean.

The challenge comes in if we are unwilling to let the past go and if we are unwilling to allow a new flow to guide us rather than our mind.

Over the past three-plus years, our relationships have been challenged because of the Grand Cardinal Cross and Saturn being in Libra. We have felt pulled in four directions. The ground seemed to come out from underneath us, as if we were free falling into the unknown. Then the squares between Pluto and Uranus made us feel pulled between our future and the past. (By then Saturn moved into Scorpio on October 5, 2012 and for some of us it felt like the Grim Reaper meets Darth Vader. That isn’t all bad because these two big energies are at least talking and working together. But it has made us pull ourselves up and get back on the horse to work towards the goal that has seemed to evade us for

H

the past few years. This can feel like a challenge but if we did not have the grounding aspect of this pattern, with Jupiter exalted in Cancer (a joyous and celebratory expression of love and devotion), Neptune at home in Pisces (an extremely artistic expression that throws all of us into the deep end of the emotional pool and wants to pull us into dreamland) we could have found our heads in the clouds and out of touch with reality.

Saturn is so grounding in Scorpio that it will help us translate this huge wave of energy into a much more realistic and tangible outcome.

From July 17-23 we have some cosmic effects that allow for profound emotional healing. It also allows for a spiritual healing and a resurgence of faith and trust. We will feel as if we have more energy than we have felt for a long time to kick us into gear. We should feel uplifted and more optimistic (which would be very helpful after all this gloom and doom). We will also notice that we have a magnetic power to draw into our life what we want and need.

Through this process, we can finally come to understand our own emotional choices and see a larger divine plan at work in our life.

If you are a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) or if you have significant planets at the early degrees in water, you will feel tremendously empowered and energetically transformed.

This is a wonderful time to heal old family wounds and conflicts. Expect people from your past to come back into the picture and allow the healing that is being asked to release you from the story you have been telling yourself about that person or situation.

You are in a cycle of profound healing and reunion that will touch your core. Surrender your story of the past, allow yourself to play in the cooling waters of the feminine, feel the strength you have gained by confronting your deepest fears and celebrate the massive shifts you have manifested. You are on the road to reconnecting to what inspires your soul, allows you freedom and supports your expansion into your greatest self.

Have a fabulous month. u

This is a wonderful time to heal old family wounds and conflicts. Expect people from your past to come back into the picture. Allow the healing to release you from the story you have been telling yourself about that person or situation.
