over artist and my friend Edie Roberson passed away last week. She is widely known as one of Salt Lake’s most esteemed painters. Her body of work is extraordinary and I invite you to take a minute or two to pop through the gallery archive on her website for a real treat.

Many of her paintings feel familiar.

Characters of nostagia; antique toys, cartoon personalities, historic figures, often juxtaposed and always meticulously rendered but if you look closely, her interpretations tease out a more complex story.

You are left wondering “What is he up to?

Why are they together? Where is this headed?”

Edie and I traded works a while back.

She gave me a haunting portrait of an antique doll, Passing Time about which she explained, “Look at her eyes. They are exactly the same as the day she was made one hundred years ago. While the rest of her has peeled away, she still sees as well as the day she was made.”

Edie’s request to me in making her stained glass window was to “not let one drop of stress into it. Make what you want and enjoy every minute of it.” Hence Edie’s Joy Ride replete with little yellow lady riding a big blue marble into the sky.

ENVIRONEWS

Our incomparable Chesler Park Canyonlands

It makes sense that Wilderness is a Virgo — a loner, uncomfortable in crowds, annoyed by vulgarity, stupidity and carelessness, a realist full of serious thought and clear purpose, quiet, steady and dedicated to service.

In celebration of the 50th birthday of the Wilderness Act, the Natural History Museum of Utah is showing a special exhibit of 50 photographs of Utah public lands. The exhibit opens September 3, 2014. Look for other events to celebrate wilderness as the date approaches.

Natural History Museum of Utah: NHMU.UTAH.EDU/WILDERNESS50

Happy birthday to Canyonlands National Park, established September 12, 1964.

The Greater Canyonlands Coalition (a group of familiar environmental organizations) is ramping up a national campaign encouraging President Obama to designate 1.8 million acres of public lands surrounding the park as a Greater Canyonlands National Monument. As a lame-duck president, Obama has a chance to use the Antiquities Act to designate new national monuments before he leaves office as President Clinton did when he designated Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) in 1996.

Whenever new National Parks and Monuments are created, the local communities scream like it’s the end of the world, but after a bit of time passes the benefits become too obvious to deny. In 1996, the outcry from communities near GSENM

was loud and resentful, but 10 years later a poll showed that 69% Utah citizens loved the new monument. Jobs and income in the area grew significantly after monument designation, according to a report published by the independent research group Headwaters Economics.

The economic value of National Parks was proven beyond a doubt during the Republican-led government shutdown, October 1-16, 2013. A government report shows that at Arches National Park alone, visitor spending declined by $3.9 million dollars despite state funds used to re-open the park .

However, one of the best arguments for creating the Greater Canyonlands National Monument is simply that the boundaries of Canyonlands National Park should have been bigger in the first place. Fifty years ago when the park was created, the usual suspects complained that it would ruin the economy. Due to political wrangling, the size was reduced. In 1971 the park was expanded to include the Maze, Land of Standing Rocks and Davis and Lavender Canyons.

This past July 14 Senators wrote a letter to President Obama urging him to designate a Greater Canyonlands Monument.

Utah Governor Gary Herbert has invited those 14 to come visit Utah so that they can see “what we are doing preserve these iconic vistas and venues and optimize the use of our public lands.” [I don’t know about you, but that word “optimize” sound ominous to me.] Herbert wants conservationists to get behind Representative Rob Bishop’s (R-1-UT) Public Lands Initiative, but Bishop has a long history of opposition to conservation management of public lands. You can bet that Utah’s antienvironmental congressional delegation is in Washington D.C. telling their colleagues that Utahns don’t want a new monument.

It’s time to raise our voices to say, yes, we do! It’s time to make the protected landscape of Canyonlands complete.

Last month Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams and Sandy Mayor Tom Dolan launched a new bicycle network plan with two projects to improve commuter bike routes in Sandy. Salt Lake County has developed plans for a future 1,500-mile bicycle commuter network that will make biking to work more practical throughout the whole Salt Lake Valley. The commuter network will first be roughed out along existing routes. Money from a bike transportation development fund will be available to create trail connections and other improvements.

According to U.S. Census data, Provo and Salt Lake City are among the top 15 medium-sized cities for bicycle commuting. A census report notes that bicycle commuting is growing by leaps and bounds: “Between 2000 and 2008–2012, the number of workers who traveled to work by bicycle increased by 60.8%, from about 488,000 in 2000 to about 786,000.”

That’s still only 0.6% of the population, but the trend is clear: As more bicycle infrastructure is built more people choose to bike to work.

The Utah Rivers Council says that a new government report calling for $32 billion in in new taxes and public debt to finance large water projects in Utah is

nothing but a scare tactic. The report “Utah’s Water Dependent Economy” was prepared by a Las Vegas consultant (not by objective economists) and it seems intended to keep tax dollars flowing to oversized water projects like the illadvised Lake Powell Pipeline. “The report claims Utah will face economic disaster if a massive tide of government spending is not initiated,” says xxthe Council. “The report doesn’t mention that Utahns have the highest water use in the U.S., or that all four water districts encourage Utahns to waste water by lowering the price of water through property tax collections on homes and businesses.”

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has at least temporarily put the brakes on the West Davis Corridor, a new freeway project that would extend the Legacy Highway and slice into Great Salt Lake wetlands and migratory bird habitat.

UDOT says it needs more time to evaluate the options; the current goal is to reach a record of decision on the project by the summer of 2015.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has threatened to deny permits for the proposed freeway due to negative environmental impacts, but an alternate proposed route would destroy homes, businesses and farmland.

Utahns for Better Transportation says the best option is not to build a freeway at all. They have written a “shared solution” that would provide congestion relief while reducing air pollution, and preserving farmlands, communities and wildlife habitat.

So the good news is, it is still possible that UDOT could adopt the shared solution instead of building an unnecessary freeway.

he news headlines have been so depressing lately I’m thinking positive thoughts and focusing on a brighter future. This is the headline news I predict we’ll see in the near future.

Center for Transpersonal Therapy, LC

Amazon and Google Merge and Launch Previous-Day Delivery (PDD) Prime.

After years of spying on our spending habits, browser history and other intimate behavior, the two corporate predators have perfected a system of delivering things you want or need the day before you want or need them. They, for instance, have been tracking your shaving habits and can thus deliver new blades precisely one day before the old ones lose their sharpness. You never have to run out of coffee or filters again because PDD Prime knows your consumption patterns. With access to the processor in all your electronic devices they can send replacements, parts or batteries just before the thing goes dead and you are forced to read a book.

Transpersonal Therapy is an approach to healing which integrates body, mind and spirit.

It addresses basic human needs for self-esteem, satisfying relationships and spiritual growth.

The Center offers psychotherapy, training, social support groups, workshops and retreats.

Sherry Lynn Zemlick, PhD Chris Robertson, LCSW • Lynda Steele, LCSW Denise Boelens PhD • Wil Dredge LCSW Heidi Ford MS, LCSW • Nick Tsandes, LCSW

The aforementioned would be simple to do, but by using advance psycho-social algorithms, PDD Prime can also track other life indicators and anticipate your needs.Having discovered that your child did not get admitted to Harvard, they could send you that new car you can now afford a day before the rejection letter hits your mailbox. Planning an affair? Make sure an expensive distracting gift is sent to your spouse the day before you embark on your tryst.

There still are some bugs to work out regarding healthrelated products. Your PDD Prime could go terribly wrong, should you start receiving medications before your doctor has presented you with your latest test results. Exercise equipment could start piling up on your doorstep if PDD mistook your donut orders for the church with your personal donut consumption.

Sex ed taboos and teen moms Ignorance breeds babies

BY JEANNETTE CULAS

A

t 16 I found myself taking that shaming walk to the school principal’s office, a place I had never been before. I was always a good student, and never talked back to my teachers or other students. The reason for this trip was a mystery to me.

However, when it was my turn to face the beast within, I found that my summons was due to an article I had written for the school paper.

This article was about sex education.

I had written an article similar to the one here. However, because it contained the word “condom,” it was not allowed to print.

Here in Utah, sex may seem like a taboo topic to many teens. Questions can be left unanswered by teachers and parents which can lead teens

and young adults to seek other sources to answer those questions.

The Fog Zone, polling data conducted by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, states, “22% of the unmarried young adults [between the ages of 18-29] surveyed reported they never had sex education in school and of those who had, more than one-quarter had it before they were 15 years old.” Information about sex can be seen by a click of a button through online resources.

Whether the information is correct is another question.

Misinformation about a topic so important is harmful when the consequences are life changing.

Educating teens about safe practices and the consequences of ignoring them should be a higher priority than it currently is.

In Utah’s Sexuality Education Law and Policy, teachers are not allowed to teach about “the intricacies of intercourse … the advocacy or encouragement of the use of contraceptive methods or devices or the advocacy of sexual activity outside of marriage.” However, for every 1,000 Utah births, 23.1 occur to teen-agers, ranking Utah #10 in the nation.

Abstinence is an effective tool.

However, it’s no secret that teens and young adults are having sex. To some people, teaching them safe practices is seen as encouraging them to have sex. This does not have to be the case. Education is meant to make teens aware.

Having proper education can inform their decision.

According to Annabel Sheinberg, Director of Education at Planned Parenthood of Utah, 50% of high school students have had sex. By age 19, that number grows to 70%.

Many of these teens are not getting the proper education about sex.

The Fog Zone shows that 30% of unmarried young adults age 18 to 29 say they know little or nothing about condoms, 63% say they know little or nothing about birth control pills, and 56% say they have not heard of the birth control implant.

These statistics also don’t cover other methods that many teens and young adults also try and may also have little knowledge of such as the rhythm method, in which a woman tracks her mentrual history to predict ovulation (a form of natural family planning which involves diligence and careful record keeping, as well as self-control or a backup barrier method).

HEALTHY LIVING Many teens and young adults don’t know at what time during the month a woman is most fertile, or commonly available information such as side effects of birth control pills and the proper way to use condoms. “They underestimate the effectiveness and overestimate the risk of many methods. Many are afraid that serious side effects from some of the most effective methods are highly likely, which in turn reduces the chance of their using them,” stated authors of The Fog Zone.

Making teens and young adults afraid of using contraceptive methods does not mean they will quit having sex. For this reason education about safe practices is necessary.

Making teens and young adults afraid of using contraceptive methods does not mean they will quit having sex. For this reason education about safe practices is necessary.

Sheinberg talks about sex education as a positive part of life. “I would like to see comprehensive sex education,” she says. A comprehensive education includes teaching abstinence as the best method for avoiding STDs and unintended pregnancy; however, it includes facts about condoms and contraception to reduce the risk of pregnancy, STDs, infection and HIV. It can also teach interpersonal and communication skills that can help teens and young adults explore their own values, goals and options.

Educators and parents should be willing to talk to teens and young adults about sex and relationships.

Sheinberg urges parents to share their thoughts and values with their children, and let them know they care. It’s important when teaching about sex to correctly portray what can go wrong and what can be dangerous. Parents should be willing to listen to their children to find out what questions they may have and how to appropriately answer them.

These can be steps to improving

education in homes and schools.

Simply having “the sex talk” with your child may not be enough.

Sheinberg says, “It’s not one big talk. There are many learning opportunities that can come up.”

Leaving it with just one talk can leave questions unanswered and it can be difficult for teens to approach parents when it’s not talked about often. Something as simple as a scene in a movie can become a teaching moment. With today’s society becoming more and more sexualized, teaching moments can pop up every day. These moments don’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable. Talking about sex with confidence and factual knowledge can help ease the awkwardness. It can also help with the “myth” problem that continues to occur. There is no better source for teens and young adults to hear the truths about sex than from the people they trust most. Their parents.

Planned Parenthood has a threestep plan to help parents educate their children. These steps are: Talk health, Think social, and Stay involved. Essentially it urges parents to first talk about sex and healthy relationships. Second, think about how their child sees it. Think about the “everyone’s doing it” mentality and how you can put it to an end. Finally, be involved in their child’s life. Know what their child is up to and set rules and boundaries.

Planned Parenthood also has a number of resources to help answer questions anyone may have. These include lectures at nearby colleges, live chat and text programs, and walk-in appointments at their nine health centers. Information about sex should not be swept under the rug. Teens and young adults need information to not only keep them safe but also to help guide their decision making. N Jeannette Culas was a CATALYST intern this past summer.

NOTES FROM AN EXTREMOPHILE

Biting the culture I’ve come from and walking away in search of something new

BY PAX RASMUSSEN

I

’ve always thought of myself as an outsider, in the general sense, if not the particular. I’ve usually had a small circle of friends, in which I definitely felt included, but I’ve seen myself as “outside” of society as a whole. More than an outsider, in fact: an active resister, a dissident, sometimes a crank. My whole life I’ve seen mainstream culture as uninteresting, distasteful, even downright evil.

From oligarchy to a militarized police state, from Britney Spears to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, one can justify that viewpoint. Instead, I’m here to consider how these thoughts and feelings have brought me to a major life decision.

In September, Adele and I will be moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to work as apprentices at Skarsgard Farms. After that, we’ll probably apprentice on a farm back east somewhere. This is a big change from what I’m doing now: managing accounts and writing posts on the intranet for Health Sciences at the University of Utah.

My wife and I are about to abandon our safe, comfortable lives for something unknown.

Frankly, I’m terrified.

I’ll be trading in stable, well-paid employment for a low-paid apprenticeship, with no real clear plans on what we’ll be doing after that apprenticeship ends. We have some ideas for starting a small farm or homestead, or maybe a weird cabin-based hospitality thing, or maybe teaching adjunct. Whatever we do, it’ll be improvisational, lowincome, small-footprint, and probably pretty far outside what most people in our culture do: chase a paycheck, buy stuff, repeat.

This weekend, I took a load of our stuff down to Cedar City, where my parents live, to put into storage. I

picked up a conversation with my father about all of this, a conversation we’ve been having for a while now. I expressed my growing sense of futility in living a life centered around work and stuff-acquisition.

What he said to me this weekend put a lot of these thoughts and feelings into a new perspective.

I think a lot about what I want and what I feel, and a lot about all of this stuff I’ve just outlined. But I’ve never much considered why I feel these things. Or, rather, why I feel them in a historical or sociological context. I’ve always seen myself as separate from our culture.

But what my dad said made me reframe those thoughts: Am I, in fact, not separate, but rather a product, of our culture?

Of course I am. We all are. It’s rather egoistic and solipsistic to think otherwise. What I am (what we all are) is wholly dependent on the when and where of my birth.

While my parents were probably the greatest influencers of who I am today, they are aspects of that where and when. Who they are is determined by that web, that interconnected system of individuals and events, that makes up a culture. It seems obvious, even sophomoric, as I write this, but I suppose once you realize something about yourself, it seems obvious—after all, it’s been there all along.

But here’s the really interesting part. My dad argued that this culture which I find so abhorrent is what it is because it has to be what it is—like me, it grew out of a complicated web of circumstance, a context.

We can trace the roots of our culture all the way back (it’s turtles all the way down), but let’s just stick with the “recent” past: At the founding of our country, we were facing a vast, relatively unexploited continent. These people saw in front of

them an enormous natural world (empty, from a White Christian perspective) that dwarfed their civilization. They wanted to grow, to build, to prosper. Capitalism is great for the efficient exploitation of raw resources, and there was a collective sense of purpose. They were building a nation, a culture, a civilization.

Now, however, we have entered a period where growth is no longer “good.” We have far exceeded the carrying capacity of the land, and each increase in GDP just shortens the time until we pay a reckoning for the deficit we’ve been running on that carrying capacity. The model of “success” in our culture is now empty, meaningless and, worse, harmful. We’re done building! No wonder some of us feel chasing the American Dream has no future. No wonder some of us are craving something different. I am not the first person, and by no means the last, to feel this way.

I’m not offering answers. I’m not saying I know what is needed next. I am saying that the way of the mainstream is over. Yeah, it’ll hang on, maybe for a long time, but that’s what cultures do, and they really hate to change, especially if it means sacrifice by the people at the top.

It’s important to acknowledge that my ability to make these kinds of observations and judgments about our culture is a condition of my place in that culture: As a middle-class white male, I have the luxury of feeling like an outsider and making life decisions that involve stepping outside the mainstream path. Recognizing privilege is important, no matter who you are.

There are maps out there for what’s coming next, but they’re not the slick Rand McNallys you find at the gas station: They’re hand-drawn on the backs of coffee-stained envelopes (or maybe artistically rendered in a limited-edition print); they have not been verified by a thousand checks and rechecks and satellite images, then mass-produced by a cartographical company that knows what it’s doing. They’re full of blank spaces, with “Here Be Dragons” in the margins. And every one of us who heads out that direction gets to fill in spots, or maybe just add some more detail.

Sounds like fun. I’m ready. N Pax Rasmussen remains part of the CATALYST clan, though he be a state away. His “Green Bits” column returns next month. Follow his and Adele’s adventures at WWW.HALOPHILE.NET

July CATALYST’s story on Salt Lake’s iconic bookstore, the Cosmic Aeroplane, (“Cosmic Aeroplane: A Love Story,” a memoir by James Taylor) stirred many memories among the over-40 locals, and was a counterculture history lesson for everyone else. One player who was inadequately addressed in the story was coowner Bruce Roberts. His sister, Becky, shares with us the role Bruce played in the store and in the broader community: Bruce Roberts’ financial investment and guidance in developing the bookstore component, and eventually expanding to other departments, was pivotal in the success of the first alternative bookstore in Salt Lake City.

Bruce had an early interest in writing, journalism and current events. He served as sports editor for his high school paper and attended the University of Utah on academic journalism scholarships. While on the university's Daily Utah Chronicle he wrote as sports editor, and later as rock editor.

As a member of the Student Activities Center at the University of Utah, Bruce brought such musical groups as Cold Blood, Joy of Cooking, Joan Baez and The Grateful Dead to various campus venues.

He became a political activist, AKA rabble rouser [as referenced in the story], at an early age helping to organize rallies, and various protest events to include the Stop the MX Missile movement, rallies against the US involvement in Central American civil wars, and assisting a myriad of environmental organizations. He later maintained and shared that political awareness through products and events at the bookstore.

Bruce was responsible for all print ads, (indeed most of those displayed in the Taylor article), radio ad content and, after 1982, the annual Cosmic Aeroplane calander given free to customers. While at the Aeroplane he brought a number of significant musical artists to the Fairground Coliseum and other venues, introducing reggae and punk music to Salt Lake City. He arranged for a number of popular authors to participate in book-signing events at the bookstore. As a former employee wrote at the time of Bruce’s death: “Bruce was a great boss. He paid fair wages. He provided ‘Cadillac’ insurance before the term was coined. As a matter of course, he practiced tolerance and promoted diversity and transparency ...Bruce never micromanaged, he led—with courage, confidence, and charisma.”

The closing of the Cosmic Aeroplane was indeed due to financial contraints as noted, but also due to competition from the first large bookstore chain, Walden Books, opening in Salt Lake City.

Following the end of Cosmic Aeroplane, Bruce purchased and operated Wasatch Book Distribution. He later worked in sales for Fulcrum Books, and Nancy Suib Wholesale Distribution. He owned and operated Big Moon Traders, his own publishing and distribution business. At the time of his death Bruce was employed as sales manager for the University of Utah Press. He was proud of landing this position as “an old white guy.” Chosen because of his expansive knowledge of the book trade, he was and is sorely missed there. Indeed, his impact on the book industry and small business in Salt Lake City has been deemed significant enough by the University of Utah Marriott Library to archive his papers in their Special Collections Department.

And, as correctly stated, the occult was not a priority for Bruce, nor most of the other Cosmic staff members. N —Becky S. Roberts

Ancient folk medicine, modern practices Five ways bees bestow health and healing

BY KATY YEAKY AND KATHERINE PIOLI

B

ee-created products, more than just honey, have been used by humans for millennium as healing remedies.

Called apitherapy, this alternative medicine encompasses the use of pollen, propolis, raw honey, royal jelly, and bee venom.

None of these products or practices have been widely tested or promoted by modern Western medical science and rarely are they even addressed by the complementary medical community, but apitherapy practices are ancient—Hippocrates wrote about apitherapy as did the Chinese in texts dating back 2,000 years. Many traditional folk medicines based on bee-products are still widely used today. Propolis, for instance, remains a fairly common form of self-medication for seasonal colds and boosting the immune systems, and is found on the shelves of most natural grocery stores.

BEE POLLEN, considered a “superfood,” starts with granules of flower pollen selectively gathered by bees, which the insects then mix with saliva and nectar from the plant. This magical food cannot be reproduced in a laboratory. Composed of 40% protein, it is also full of vitamins (A,C,E), trace minerals, essential fatty acids and carbohydrates. Collection “traps” set at the entrance to a hive brush off about 60% of the pollen as a bee enters, harvesting a portion for humans while leaving enough to feed the colony.

Though a few double-blind placebo-controlled studies don’t support the health claims associated with bee pollen, many people including ath-

letes take it as a natural energy enhancer. It is used to treat allergies, to reduce the risk of adult-onset asthma, to treat addiction and, because it contains the antioxidant rutin, known to strengthen capillaries and correct circulatory problems, is also used to support the cardiovascular system.

Those who eat pollen, available in capsules, powder and granule form, usually consume a tablespoon or two daily. Try soaking it over night to make it more digestible, dissolving it in water or tea, mixing it into drinks and smoothies, or sprinkling it over cereal.

A warning for those with known pollen allergies: there are reports of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, resulting from the ingestion of even small amounts of bee pollen, less than a teaspoon.

Even if you don’t have known allergies, start by eating a single granule and wait for signs of reaction—itchy eyes, nose, throat, shortness of breath, hives. Slowly increase your dose each day while continuing to monitor for an allergic response.

Propolis, a sticky substance bees place around the inside of their hive, is made of beeswax and other secretions with resins from the buds of poplar and conifer trees. Propolis is a hive’s defense against disease.

It’s highly antimicrobial, which means that it’s antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. Centuries ago, people used propolis as an ointment to rub on wounds, to relax

intense itching, or for skin diseases such as eczema. Today, propolis is commonly found in chewing gum, face cream, lozenges, ointments and cosmetics. Internally, some use propolis as an immune booster to prevent colds, as an anti-inflamatory agent, or to treat throat and nose cancer. Externally applied, some use it to treat genital herpes and cold sores (the National Institutes of Health lists propolis as a “potentially” effective external treatment for herpes and cold sores).

RAW HONEY. Whereas most store-bought honey has been tampered with, cut

Common folk uses for royal jelly claim benefits such as reducing wrinkles; stimulating hair growth; easing asthma, hay fever, PMS and menopause symptoms; and increasing energy and sexual vitality. with water and enhanced with sugar, this is the real deal—no additives, preservatives, pasteurization or processing. Spreading honey on a piece of toast or adding it to a cup of tea is more beneficial than you might

think. Honey has powerful antioxidants that can keep your immune system strong, stabilize blood pressure, relieve pain and calm nerves.

Some even eat honey to combat seasonal allergies. But, while honey does contain trace amounts of pollen, it is mostly pollen from flowers and would not address grass or tree allergies. Also, if building immunity to pollen is your goal, only locally produced honey with local pollens would likely be effective. Scientific studies do not support the use of honey as an effective treatment for allergies.

Because it’s antimicrobial, raw honey, and only unheated raw honey, can be helpful when applied topically to wounds, rashes or burns. The power of honey comes from its high concentration of sugar, which sucks water from microbes killing them through dehydration, and from its acidity, which in the pH range from 3.2 to 4.5 is just strong enough to disable certain microbes. Also, when combined with salt, say from the sweat on your skin, honey will produce small amounts of hydrogen peroxide killing any pathogens it touches.

These same antibacterial qualities make raw honey a great beauty product useful for treating acne, slowing aging, moisturizing and opening pores. Treating your face with honey, according to some beauty experts, is as easy as applying a thin layer of raw honey to damp skin. Leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse off. For a cleansing boost, add some tea tree or lavender oil to the honey, or mix in some coconut

oil and a dash of nutmeg to make a gentle makeup remover.

ROYAL JELLY, a milky substance produced by worker bees to feed a colony’s larvae, is composed of water, proteins, sugars, fats, vitamins, salts and amino acids. It is the source of sustenance for all bee larvae—workers, drones and potential queens—and is not collected in the hive but rather fed directly to the larvae from glands in the heads of worker (nurse) bees. The jelly only collects in harvestable amounts in the cells of queen larvae, which are given the largest amounts of jelly.

This excessive force-feeding triggers in the larvae the development of queen morphology such as the ovaries needed to lay eggs. The most productive hives will make up to a pound of jelly in a six-month season.

Royal jelly can be eaten in raw jelly form, half a teaspoon twice a day, but it’s most often consumed in capsule or tablet form. To receive the full effect of the supplement, it’s recommended to take without water and before eating. Taking a digestive enzyme supplement with the royal jelly may also increase absorption into the body, but as with bee pollen, royal jelly has been known to cause allergic reactions.

Take the necessary precautions.

Common folk uses for royal jelly claim benefits both internal and external—reducing wrinkles, stimulating hair growth, easing asthma, hay fever, PMS, menopause and increasing energy and sexual vitality.

Some studies of royal jelly conducted on lab animals have shown antitumor, antibacterial and antiinflammatory properties. Tests conducted on both animals and humans have demonstrated that 50-100 mg of royal jelly taken daily can lower cholesterol.

BEE STING THERAPY (OR BEE VENOM THERAPY (BVT), the most illusive form of apitherapy, is embraced by folk medicine and dabbled in by the medical community. It is difficult to find practitioners and even more difficult to determine if the health claims are valid.

The first clinical study of BVT, conducted by the Austrian physician Phillip Terc in 1888, explored the therapy as a treatment for rheumatism. The practice never gained great popularity, but it did take hold as a folk remedy in the United States due mostly to the work of Charles Mraz, founder of the American Apitherapy Society.

Conducting bee venom treatments out of his home in Vermont, Mraz

claimed to have treated thousands of people primarily for autoimmune disorders. He also initiated many clinical studies of the therapy and established standards for the medical use of venom, supplying medical-grade venom to pharmaceutical companies around the world.

According to the American Apitherapy Society, bee venom is an effective treatment for a long list of diseases and ailments including: immune system problems such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, endocrine disorders (irregular periods and menstrual cramps) as well as mood swings, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema and warts.

Honey bee venom has more than 40 active substances, but the key to its purported medical benefits likely lies in its abundance of melittin.

This agent causes the body to naturally produce cortisol, a steroid hormone used in medicine to suppress the immune system and activate anti-stress and anti-inflammatory pathways.

Methods of treatment vary depending on whether they are administered at home or in a clinic.

As a home remedy, BVT treatments are most often delivered by holding a bee with a pair of tweezers and allowing it to directly sting the body —for arthritic patients the sting occurs on the arthritis trigger point.

The stinger may then be left in place for 10 to 15 minutes. The number and frequency of sessions vary depending on the reason for treatment. In a trained medical setting, physicians administer BVT via syringe with an injectable form of venom inserted just under the skin.

Allergic reactions to the treatment are a serious concern and treatments are usually started in small test doses with epinephrine on hand.

Bee venom therapy could well some day become a tool used by modern Western medicine.

Curiosity on the subject has already led to some research, including one study funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and conducted by Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The results of the study, released in 2005, concluded that out of nine patients “three had subjective amelioration of symptoms and two showed objective improvement” leading the research team to report no conclusive evidence supporting the therapy but recommending larger follow-up studies.

A new season of 2014-15 season preview

Dance

BY AMY BRUNVAND

the Ballet West II company, is sure to delight the kids, and Innovations always offers something new and wonderful.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is opening the Fall Season with a program that includes Storm, a work by the new Artistic Director Daniel Charon so Salt Lake modern dance fans will get a chance to become better acquainted with him. The company is also offering a reprise of Tandy Beal’s Flabbergast (January) a family-friendly show full of circus magic. If you didn’t see it last year, don’t miss it this time. The dancers had to have special training in order to be able to safely perform the acrobatics.

Definitely take the kids, and don’t worry if you have a big family because RirieWoodbury offers a family discount ticket that is a great deal . Check the website for details.

The Utah Symphony is also getting into the circus act with the Cirque de la Symphonie (Oct-Nov) featuring aerial dance and

time in the usual silence of Abravanel Hall, symphonic music often has a kind of repressed energy, and unless you are an absolute purist it Trokadero de Monte Carlo can be a delight to watch that energy emerge in a dance performance for a change of pace.

Repertory Dance Theater is also doing a family-friendly show called Surprise Packages While we are waiting for (November) which is an our new Broadway-style amusing exploration of the theatre to open on Main Street, Broadway Across America is still performing at the Capitol Theatre and although they are not a local company, you might still want to check out season tickets because the much anticipated Book of Mormon Musical (JulyAugust) is on the program.

Speaking of traveling

T

he chill of fall is in the air and it’s time to order your season tickets. I know that sounds like a big commitment, but you should do it anyway. When you buy season tickets, performing arts companies will love you because subscribers are the people willing to take a chance that whatever the company produces will be amazing and wonderful.

Season ticket holders really get to know the character of the performers and the strengths of the company.

Instead of just sitting in the audience watching, you gradually become part of a community. What’s more, when arts organizations apply for grants, the number of subscribers is a measure of community support. So even if you can’t afford to donate money, you can help your favorite company stay afloat just by enjoying an evening out.

How cool is that?

Here are some highlights of the upcoming 2014-2015 dance season:

In October SB Dance is presenting a new Halloween show, though be warned: the content of Cannibal: A Love Story is for mature audiences only (Last year’s show, Of Meat and Marrow was terrific, but don’t even think about bringing little kids).

Knowing SB Dance, the new show is bound to be irreverent, funny, and genuinely disturbing. You can buy tickets for an add-on Afterlife Afterparty backstage, which is chance for the whole community of performers and audience to mingle and decompress from the performance they just saw.

Ballet West: has a program of favorites for the upcoming season including Giselle (Nov); Swan Lake (Feb); Aladdin (April, Ballet West II); Almost Tango (April) and Innovations (May). I’m particularly delighted that Giselle is on the program because I have always loved the weirdness of the zombie-like willies. I have been reading up on willies lately and it turns out that they belong to a long European tradition of dancing female water spirits. The swan girls in Swan Lake are their soul sisters.

So, it’s time to order Black Swan on Netflix to get in the spirit to appreciate the slightly sinister dancing goddesses of classical ballet. Aladdin, performed by

infinite possibilities of empty cardboard boxes (ask your cat or your six year old). My own kid also absolutely loves the annual fundraiser Charette (February) with its rollicking Iron Choreographer competition. She likes watching the dances being made, but it’s also an event with a wonderful sense of community as audience members mingle and talk dance. Reunion (April) is a kick-off for the 50-year anniversary celebration of the company (which is actually next season, but why not start early?) and it will feature revivals of pieces choreographed by alumni RDT dancers, including current Artistic/Executive Director Linda Smith, Bill Evans, and Kay Clark, names that will trigger nostalgia in anyone old enough to remember Salt Lake’s dance history.

acrobatics choreographed to classical masterpieces. If you think classical music and circus is a doubtful combination, think of the manic energy of those old Bugs Bunny cartoons, or the hallucinogenic images in Fantasia (1940). I wouldn’t want every symphony to have a circus or a ballet going on because I love the intense focus you get listening to unadorned symphony music, but at the same

Sept 6: Salt Lake City Pagan Pride Day Since 2002, The Salt Lake Chapter of the nationally based nonprofit Pagan Pride Project has celebrated Pagan Pride Day every September. Emulating the success of the Gay Pride movement, the mission of Pagan Pride’s community festival of entertainment, music, food, workshops and crafts is to foster a better understanding of the Pagan identity and reduce prejudice against religious beliefs. Plus, just simply having a great time. Everyone is invited.

“We want to instill pride in the fact that practicing Pagans are an authentic, constructive, and continuing presence in the community,” says PPD board member Christian Roberts. “They are perfectly ordinary, fun, eclectic, colorful people. They are your neighbors, your bankers, your pizza delivery drivers,” Pagans are not characters from popular ’90s movies about witches and spells. In his perception, getting the truth out to the larger community about Paganism has helped.

Roberts, an active Pagan and an interfaith minister, has been on the organizing board for four years. He adds that another purpose of the festival is to help the community, so there is always a food drive for The Road Home. Admission is a non-perishable food item (or not; you won't be turned away).

Paganism is an umbrella term under which many paths fall, such as Druids, Heathens, Wiccans, practitioners of the Traditional Craft and followers of ancient Celtic or Egyptian practices. Roberts explains that common threads would be practices that revere natural cycles, the Earth, the universe.

About 400-500 people attended last year, and the event grows steadily every year.

There will be entertainment, workshops and hand-crafted goods, and more. Attend the opening Rite at 10:30am, too. Roberts says this is really fun if you have never attended a real Pagan ritual.

rtspace Solar Gardens, 850 South 400 West, spans a city block on the west side of downtown Salt Lake City. This mixed use building has over 100 tenants and includes residential and commercial space. The residents of this building enjoy the benefit of not paying a monthly power bill.

In 2013 Sunlight Solar, a Utahbased solar installation company that installed the solar platforms along UTA’s airport light rail, and a highly skilled and experienced construction team was hired to design and build Utah’s first Mixed-Use Net Zero Building. (“Net zero” means it produces as much, or more, energy than it uses.) The design incorporates over 900 solar panels on the roof, carport and awnings. The result is a building that produces more energy than it consumes. On any given day, you can see the property’s electrical meter spinning backwards as the sun shines on the solar array. This gives the tenants peace of mind knowing that the power used to heat and cool their homes is being produced directly from the sun.

Because of space restraints on the roof, Sunlight Solar used top-of-theline SunPower 435-watt solar panels that stand seven feet tall and operate at over 21% efficiency (which is very high for solar panels). This 338kilowatt system uses a distributed inverter design with over 50 individual American-made inverters that are harvesting the sun’s energy and

channeling it throughout the building and back into the grid.

This building serves as an example of what can be done when power generation is addressed during the design phase of construction. With careful planning, qualified personnel and an owner who truly cares about renewable energy the question is no longer “why solar?” but “why not solar?”

Artspace is a not-for-profit corporation that has provided affordable housing and commercial spaces for artists, nonprofits and small retailers for the past 34 years, focusing on revitalizing neighborhoods. Artspace Solar Gardens received the Most Outstanding Project of 2013 award from Utah Construction & Design Magazine for its sustainable features. N —Cammy Staker.

Our favorite dentist’s office expands

Muralists, paint, and community support needed to help save Sugar House artist warehouses, Wasa Laza The warehouses tucked away between 500 E. and 600 E. on 2100 S., deemed "Wasa Laza," have provided Salt Lake artists affordable studio space since the 1970’s. Now that the Sugar House Streetcar runs past this block, the warehouses are drawing more attention to the area, and decades of citations and building violations on the place have drained the City's patience on the situation. The City is threatening to close the artist workspaces down for good. Neighbor complaints include that the buildings are unsightly and unsafe. Unfortunately, the elderly landlord is not in any state to take action.

As city-issued red tags appear on the warehouse doors, many artists are beginning to move their studios elsewhere. One local artist, Barabara Roller (aka Barbarella), who has a work space in the warehouse, sees “a space with such a rich history and community of artists dissolving.” But not if she can help it. While in talks with the city the last two weeks, Barbarella proposed one possible solution that seems to have garnered a more favorable response than any other negotiation thus far: “What if we painted murals on these buildings?”

Yes, apparently the City would love that. The problem is, we’re not talking about one building exterior, we’re talking about an entire city block of warehouse wall murals.

Love art, artists, and want to keep the City from destroying an artistic cultural commons, and (perhaps) repeating history of the corner in Sugar House on 2100 S. and 1100 E.? Want to save Wasa Laza from becoming an unsightly hole in the ground?

New fall dinner menu items at Oasis Café Not only does Chef Efren Benitez offer new starter and entrée options on Oasis Café’s dinner menu, General Manager Will Keesen is pleased to announce an all-new wine list, as well as their first real cocktail program. They have some fun concoctions like the Manmosa (Wasatch White Label white ale, orange and cranberry juice) and a delightful, but not heavy Chocalate Espresso Martini (Stoli vodka, kahlua, Ghirardelli chocolate and espresso). “In addition, our wine list has been completely re-tooled to best complement our new menu, but also to help stretch our diners’ palates a bit,” says Keesen. These new dishes include starter courses of a grilled shrimp dish with eggplant, a new antipasto plate of meats and local cheeses, and a caprese salad. New dinner entrée courses include a pan-roasted halibut, sea bass, pork chili verde, paprika crusted chicken, and a tiger prawn penne pasta. -S 151 So. 500 East.

Downtown construction UPDATE There’s a lot of construction activity downtown these days. Here’s the lowdown on a few of them, in case you’re wondering what all the chaos is about. The end result for some of these will be pretty interesting.

3rd & 3rd UnCommons Project: The former antique store on the NW corner of 300 South & 300 East is being renovated into a multiple-use location, to include a market, focusing on fresh, local produce and a restaurant featuring natural foods.

Ballet Center: Construction is nearing completion on the Ballet Training & Practice Center extension to the Capitol Theater. The project requires closing a portion of the roadway through the summer on 200 South.

Accommodations are being made to keep adjacent businesses fully accessible during this time. Completion is set for fall of 2014.

Plaza on State Street: Construction is underway on The Plaza on State Street, between 200 & 300 South. It is a mixed-use project with residential housing and ground floor retail space. The project should be completed by late spring of 2015.

Broadway Media Center: Wasatch Partners is near completion in the process of retrofitting the bottom two floors of the 50 West Broadway Office Tower to accommodate a full service restaurant and Wise Guys comedy club, planned to open in September. The sky bridge connecting the Tower to the former Key Bank Building to the west is also being converted to house a Simmons Broadcast Company radio station.

Air Center: Construction on the worldclass night club and event center will begin soon on the corner of West Temple and 400 South. The first building in this project is completed and Evern T. Brown relocated to the new building.

Eccles Theatre: Demolition of the Metro Building has been completed and is now underway on the former home of Braza Grill building immediately south of the Neumont University. This demolition will provide the opening for a future mid-block crossing from Main Street to Regent Street. Regent Street will remain closed to through traffic at midblock throughout the duration of the project.

Download Philip Bimstein’s Refuge-inspired quartet Refuge is also the name of Philip Bimstein’s composition, performed by the Abramyan String Quartet (members of the Utah Symphony), which features Williams reading phrases of passages of her book. "If someone came and expected to hear it as if in an opera or play, from beginning to end, even in skeletal form, they would be disappointed," Bimstein said. Rather, "it's the essence of what Terry writes about. . . . I added a musical dimension to it, not that it didn't have one already." 25% of all proceeds from the sale of this EP will be donated to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge; the Utah refuge that was first threatened, and then healed, in Williams’ book.

Progress for parking strip plantings

Glimpse

On the corner of 3rd Avenue and I street in the historic Avenues neighborhood, Heidi Keilbaugh constructed 7 planters in the park strips between her home and the street.

She used the planters to grow flowers and vegetables for her own use.

Heidi was issued a citation on April 10th for the planters. This led to a Historic Landmark Commission meeting. Despite community concerns over maintenance of the planters and the beds "not being consistent with the character of surrounding properties in the Avenues Historic District" the commission ruled that Heidi's planters could stay.

Even more exciting for Salt Lake urban gardeners is that this case is being used as the basis for The Historic Landmark Commission in writing up guidelines for park strip planters for all of Salt Lake. -J

Barre to blankets Baddha Konasana

BY CHARLOTTE BELL

D

uring grade school, my sisters and I took ballet classes. We studied at the Cincinnati Conservatory with a lovely young dancer named Donna Ficker. A year or two into our lessons we had to find a new teacher when Donna’s mother moved the family to New York, where Donna’s younger sister Suzi changed her name to Suzanne Farrell and joined George Balanchine in the New York City Ballet. I remember watching Suzi practice at the studio amid excited murmurs about her already burgeoning career.

During our brief ballet career my dad, a gymnast with an eye for form, installed a barre in our basement and led us through our ballet warm-ups every morning. None of us was star material, but I thought the whole thing was pretty fun—the jumping around, the costumes, of course, and even the warm-ups. I haven’t performed a plié in many years, but one exercise we practiced

toward the center) in the groin and inner thigh.

In yoga, Butterfly is touted for its internal benefits: It stimulates the abdominal organs, improves circulation, soothes menstrual discomfort and sciatica, and helps relieve menopause symptoms.

To practice Baddha Konasana, have a few blankets handy. Sit on a folded blanket. Sitting on a blanket instead of a mat cushions your anklebones.

Bend both knees and place the soles of your feet together, allowing the legs to release out to the sides.

Reach back and check your lumbar spine by placing a few fingers on the spine. If your vertebrae are poking out in your low back, this means that your back is rounded (in flexion). Fold your blanket and sit on it with your pelvis on the blanket and feet on the floor. If your vertebrae are still poking out, you might want to try sitting up even a little higher.

Depending on flexibility, you may not be able to sit up high enough for your spine to draw into your

Unlike ballet, yoga is not about performance.

Like other yoga asanas, Baddha Konasana can be beneficial no matter what your pose looks like. daily remained in my repertoire long after ballet lessons ended and before I discovered yoga in 1982: Butterfly, aka Baddha Konasana. or Bound Angle Pose.

With ballet’s huge emphasis on turnout, Butterfly is one of its important warm-up exercises. More than anything, Baddha Konasana requires and develops outward rotation of the hip joints—that is, if the hip joints are shaped in such a way that outward rotation is even possible. The pose develops outward rotation by stretching the adductors (the muscles that draw the leg in

back. If this is the case, place your hands behind you and use your arms to help you sit up straight. I recommend not bending forward if your vertebrae are poking out in your back, as this can stress the discs at the base of your spine.

Another possible restriction you might encounter is knee discomfort. If this is the case, you can elevate your leg(s) by placing a folded blanket or yoga blocks under your thigh(s).

If your legs release easily and your spine dips into your low back, you can practice Baddha Konasana sitting

YOGA POSE OF THE MONTH upright or you can bend forward, as always beginning by tipping your pelvis forward. Whichever variation you choose, take five to 10 breaths in the pose, creating space in your body as you inhale, and softening into that space on the exhale.

A common misunderstanding is that Baddha Konasana is about pushing your legs down to the floor.

I cringe when I remember zealous teachers 20 years ago pushing or even standing on my thighs to drive them down. Fortunately, my body could take the abuse back then, and I didn’t know better. Others have not been so lucky.

If you push down even lightly on your thighs, you may notice that your pelvis tilts back, pushing your lumbar spine into flexion, not a healthy action for your back in this pose. Instead, think about the thighs lengthening outward from your pelvis. This is true whether your knees are millimeters from the floor or a foot above.

Speaking of which, if your knees have been way up off the floor for years in Baddha Konasana and have barely budged, it’s likely not an issue of flexibility. No two hip joints are alike. Some of our hip joints are oriented such that outer rotation is really easy. Others are formed to favor inner rotation. Occasionally, someone’s hip joints accommodate both actions, but most of the time, if we rotate easily one direction, we probably won’t rotate so easily the other way. You may be part of the inward rotation camp.

So, as with all yoga asanas, please let go of the idea that your knees being high in the air in Bound Angle makes you a bad yogi. It often doesn’t even mean anything about your flexibility, let alone your strength of character. It’s all about how your hip joints are formed, and “normal” and “healthy” look different for different people.

Unlike ballet, yoga is not about performance. Like other yoga asanas, Baddha Konasana can be beneficial no matter what your pose looks like.

After you spend a few breaths in the pose, stretch your legs out in front of you and feel how your body has changed. It is these moments, when we pause to let a pose integrate into our bodies and give our minds a chance to absorb what we feel, that truly define yoga practice.

T

he cards for this month show much darkness. The mood is heavy and filled with confusion. Our inner child is frightened and feeling uncertain. The desire for movement is there but the restrictions remain. That may feel as if, energetically, you are exhausted. And you are; but it is from emotional turmoil.

The planets are always in motion and they constantly give us options to choose from. We place value on certain positions and chose directions for our world. Options are always available to us in more positive directions and more negative ones. It is essential that, in this volatile period, calm heads prevail.

The current global crises correlate to the end of the squares between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn.

The last two are December 15, 2014 and March 16-17, 2015. This painful backand-forth between the old and the new reality is what is causing so much upset.

We are heading toward another big month in October with eclipses in Aries, October 8, and the last solar eclipse in Scorpio on October 23. I mention them here because you will be feeling a buildup throughout September. No, you are not going crazy.

On September 4, Mars finally comes out of a conjunction with Saturn. Mars does not like discipline and Saturn is all about structure, authority and limitation. The outcome is conflict. Attempt to keep those energies conscious and stay in communication with each other in your relationships and within your own being. Turn this energy into great precision and determination to get a job done.

Old realities and illusions are coming down, exposing the anger, violence, greed and hatred boiling below the surface. These issues are an unbalanced part of humanity, caused by and spreading the illness of separation.

Take a look at where you feel separated and find a way back to oneness. In that way, you heal your small part of the greater whole.

It is difficult to stay centered right now. Do it anyway.

We may not be able to fix the world but we can fix the small part of our own world. That can create an energetic shift that goes out to the world in supportive ways.

We can no longer afford to be lazy in our understanding of the interconnectedness of all of us. The voice of love will overcome the loud voices of petty tyrants. But, just like a parent dealing with a demanding child, there has to be a clear line and a lot of love to make anything stick. N
