min Franklin’s 13 virtues and the seven deadly sins.

She created the illustrations for the book, large paper cuts of animals, birds and insects that capture the essence of virtue and vice in a contemporary take on the Medieval bestiary. The book received the Eric Hoffer Grand Prize and the Utah Book Award as well as the Da Vinci Eye Award for cover art. Teresa uses as her artist’s mark the Circle Mill Iron brand, which she inherited from her Great Aunt Marie Jordan Bell. Marie was born on the isolated Wyoming ranch on which Teresa was raised and spent nearly every day of her life working outside with horses, dogs, and cattle. For Teresa, the Circle Mill Iron brand represents the tradition of women’s work in her family.

t’s been a busy month at CATALYST and in my life. First, we’ve begun the transition to a smaller format, much as we were at the turn of the century. You’re holding the last large-format CATALYST. The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses scholarship program in which I participated concluded. Designed by Babson College (Massachusetts), funded by the Goldman Sachs Foundation and locally administered through Salt Lake Community College, the program has produced 350 graduates in Utah over the last four years. Basically, it’s like getting an MBA in your own business.

I was sad to see my cohort end. Every school day was a good day. My teachers, advisor and fellow scholars became an integral part of my life for those 11 weeks. True, my perspective was a bit (sometimes quite a bit) different from others. But it was all to the good. I’ve already begun putting some of my new knowledge to use.

If you own a business that is at least two years old, with at least four employees and $150,000 annual revenue, you might consider applying. It’s an invaluable experience. Drop a note to my advisor: Tom.Longenecker@slcc.edu if you’re curious.

n late June, we saw His Holiness the Dalai Lama speak at the Huntsman Center on the University of Utah campus. His topic: “Compassion and Universal Responsibility.”

“You have the responsibility to make peace, not God,” he said. “Peace comes through action.” His English was much improved over his last visit, and the meaning came through with little need for the translator seated next to him. “No matter how difficulty, we have ability to raise strength,” he said. “Difficulty lends opportunity to demonstrate depth of character and rise above petty concerns.

Giving up hope is not a recipe for success.” He said that if we make an effort now, the latter part of the century can be “more happy, more peaceful.”

EPA requires Utah coal plant to cut emissions In June, citizen groups working on air quality won a major victory when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a decision that will reduce haze-forming emissions affecting Arches, Canyonlands and seven other National Parks and Wilderness Areas. The EPA decision overrules a much weaker regional haze plan written by the State of Utah and requires the installation of emission control technologies that will reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from four electrical generating units at PacifiCorp’s Hunter and Huntington power plants in Emery County, Utah by 9,885 tons each year. Groups that had challenged the ineffective Utah plan include HEAL Utah, Sierra Club and National Parks Conservation Association.

Old Ephraim’s skull now belongs to the Smithsonian Museum. increase poaching by normalizing killing.

In any case, it may be that in a crowded world, large carnivores will always need Endangered Species protection because state management is so hostile to predators. For instance, in 2012 gray wolves were delisted, but due to state mismanagement and excessive hunting they were back on the Endangered Species list by 2014.

The last known grizzly bear in Utah, nicknamed “Old Ephraim,” was killed in Logan Canyon in 1923

by Frank Clark who later told a Deseret News reporter, “Was I happy?

No, and if I had to do it over I wouldn’t kill him.”

Grizzly delisting

Fake posters oppose Bears Ears

In March, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service proposed removing grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem from the federal Endangered Species List. Only 136 grizzlies lived in and around Yellowstone back in 1975 when grizzlies in the lower 48 states were designated as “threatened.” Since then, the number has increased to somewhere between 674 and 839 and the bears have expanded their range by 50%.

While it’s good news that grizzlies have rebounded, compelling reasons for not delisting them still exist. Pine nuts are one of the bears’ major food sources but due to beetle infestations exacerbated by climate change, whitebark pine forests are dying. The other big problem for bears is people.

Without even waiting for delisting to occur, the states of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana have already fast-tracked plans for grizzly bear trophy hunting. The Center for Biological Diversity says that trophy hunting reduces genetic viability of a species by targeting the biggest, strongest males, and that recreational trophy hunting has been shown to

Opponents of designating a Bears Ears National Monument in San Juan County Utah posted fake flyers designed to look like they came from the federal government or from environmental groups.

One flyer with a forged “U. S. Department of Interior” letterhead threatened that President Obama was going to reduce the size of the Navajo reservation. Another flyer announced that Utah Navajos were excluded from a picnic supposedly hosted by Diné Bikéyah, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Great Old Broads for Wilderness and Friends of Cedar Mesa.

False claims on the flyers are similar to those made by Utah legislators at a meeting of the Commission for Stewardship of Public Lands last April when anti-monument legislators made allegations that tribal support for Bears Ears was a front for environmental groups.

Absurdly, Utah Representative Mike Noel (R-Kanab) has also blamed archaeological looting in the Bears Ears region on badgers digging holes.

In fact, the Bears Ears proposal originates with Indian tribes, and it would be managed by a commission, made up of one representative from each of five tribes plus three from federal agencies

Things that can’t be real

BY DENNIS HINKAMP

I

’m not going to go all Matrix on you, but contemplating reality can really make your head reel.

It’s more than just the reality of the lowlight reel of the real choices of presidential candidates; if you stop and contemplate the things that might not be real, you’ll wish you hadn’t.

Pandas: Now that the Internet allows us to be inundated by hundreds of pandas doing unspeakably adorable things, I’m starting to doubt their reality. I believe that soon it will be revealed that they are just various sizes of Chinese men and boys dressed in massproduced Panda suits. Since people get paid based on video views and web hits, this makes total sense to me.

Scoff, but the Chinese have done stranger things.

Bumble bees: Their wing-to-body size makes it physically impossible to fly. It would be like trying to fly an airliner by asking everyone to stick their hands out the windows and flap. I secretly believe that bumblebees are either tiny robots from the future or they have developed an anti-gravity gland.

The bottom of the ocean: More people have walked on the moon than have walked on some areas at the bottom of the ocean. I may be leaning heavily on Wikipedia and PBS, but it makes sense. There is no light at the bottom of the ocean so how could we ever broadcast it? Bonus: We have been looking for aliens in the wrong place all these years.

The size of Africa: I’ve been looking at globes of the world since I was in kindergarten. There is just no way that Africa is as big as they say it is nor is Greenland as small as they say. Who are you going to trust—your eyes or Wikipedia? Supposedly Africa is bigger than China, the United States, India, Mexico, France and Kiribati combined. Greenland is really roughly the size of Box Elder County. This would have never happened on a flat Earth.

Me: How can I be older than Bartolo Colon yet considerably younger than all three of the leading presidential candidates? Summary for non-baseball fans: Colon is a 42-year-old sausage casing with a few good pitches but, if forced to run, he couldn’t make it from first to third during the seventh inning stretch. He is my height with an extra 120 stuffed into unflattering Mets pinstripes. He also signed for $11 million at this age and degree of decay; so I guess he gets the last laugh. Since I just turned 60, I don’t think anyone can call me ageist. I can understand why nobody would want me to be in a political leadership position at any age but why put yourself through all that stress when you could be enjoying 15% off all the Denny’s breakfast items.

Orrin Hatch? He is so old his family photos are petroglyphs. ◆ Dennis Hinkamp would like to remind you that 60 is the new 50; but only on the highways.

TRANSPORTATION (AND POETRY)

How I learned to stop worrying and love the bus “I don’t ride the bus because I’m a good person; I ride the bus because the quality of the journey is better.”

I

BY AMY BRUNVAND

t’s not that the bus has never let me down. It’s hard to forgive that one particular bus driver last winter who blew past without stopping while I was waiting at night in a blizzard with snow creeping over the tops of my shoes. Or the bus that left my teenaged daughter stranded downtown when she stayed a bit too long at the mall and like Cinderella’s coach at midnight the 15minute bus schedule converted to a once-per-hour pumpkin at 7p.m. There are the many times I’ve watched my bus pull away while I’m stranded by traffic on the wrong side of the street, and more than a few times a scheduled bus simply failed to show up.

Then there was the annoying incident last summer when I bought summer youth passes for both of my kids intending to leave the car in the driveway and teach them all kinds of virtuous public transit lessons about independence, social justice, preserving air quality and all that. The first day we stood waiting at the bus stop we watched the bus approach and then turn the corner right before it was supposed to pick us up. Turns out our street was closing for construction, and so far the bus had been on detour for five months and counting. The nearest bus stop to my house is currently four blocks away.

As far as aggravation and annoyance, it’s not like my car is innocent. Recently I drove to campus for an early meeting only to find all of the parking lots blocked off for football tailgating. I not only missed my meeting, I got so frustrated by the chaotic traffic situation I ended up driving home and taking the bus back to work.

Then there was the time I got rear-ended on my way to a Scandinavian dance party. There I was, anticipating the pleasure of eating Swedish meatballs with lingonberries and dancing to accordion music and instead I spent the next month dealing with insurance and car repairs. The reputation of cars for being convenient is not entirely welldeserved.

It’s a mistake to think of a bus as a large inconvenient car that doesn’t go when or where you want. The best way to think about bus riding is as an aid to walking.

If all you want to do is go from point A to point B in the least amount of time I have to agree that driving a car is generally superior to taking the bus. However, as the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh says, “When we are driving, we tend to think of arriving, and we sacrifice the journey for the sake of the arrival.” I don’t think of myself as a very Zen person but I still think Thich Nhat Hanh is onto something. Even though I care

about reducing air pollution, I don’t ride the bus because I’m a good person—I ride the bus because very often the quality of the journey is better.

But in order to enjoy buses, first I had to learn the right way to ride the bus. It’s a mistake to think of a bus as kind of a large inconvenient car that doesn’t go when or where you want. The best way to think about bus riding is as an aid to walking.

I learned this from a friend who used the bus for her exercise routine. She would ride the bus to work and then jog home in the evening.

I’m don’t like to run, but I do like to walk and I find that if I leave my house a bit early I can get to a bus stop about a mile away on the other side of Liberty Park. In the morning the pond is full of mallards, Canada geese and California gulls, but I’ve also seen exotic birds there like coots, cormorants, pelicans, Cooper’s hawks, once a wild turkey and one winter a bald eagle hung out by the lake for several months. There is a vending machine on the Tracy Aviary fence where I can put in a quarter and get a handful of duck food to toss to the birds, and behind the fence there is a magical flock of bright yellow sun conures. The path through the park has a colonnade of enormous old cottonwoods, and then there is a lovely shady bench to sit on to wait for the bus. So remember your Thoreau: “I have learned that the swiftest traveler is he that goes afoot.”

But Thoreau didn’t allow that riding transit might be a pleasure in and of itself.

Little kids adore buses. It’s better than Lagoon, blowing dandelions at the bus stop, putting money in the fare box, chatting with other passengers, pulling the bell to request a stop. When my kids were small, one particular bus driver would play the Sponge Bob Squarepants theme on the intercom to make them smile.

But to ride the bus properly (and particularly with kids) it’s important to identify high-quality bus stops. Walk extra to get there if you have to. Some bus stops ruin your day because they are too close to busy roads, or exposed to hot sun, or there is no place to sit, or they are littered with trash or inhabited by creepy looking people. On the other hand, some bus stops are delightful. Particularly the ones near coffee shops. Particularly if I get there early enough to go in and get a cup

of coffee to go. Even better if I happen to run into a friend and decide to sit down and have a cup of coffee while I wait for the next bus.

For a lot of people, waiting seems to be the biggest obstacle with buses. It’s easy to get impatient just sitting there.

The trick is to stitch together those little scraps of time into a beautiful quilt.

Thich Nhat Hanh suggests meditation, but I like to read poetry. I get most of my poetry books from the library. I find that poems are just right for bus reading, not only because most poems are short, but because good poems bear multiple readings.

Poetry and buses go well together in another way, too, because as former Poet Laureate Billy Collins says, “The trouble with poetry is that it encourages the writing of more poetry.” I’m guilty. I compose poems in my head while I’m walking and jot them down in a little notebook when I get to the bus stop. Thanks to walking and riding the bus, some of my poems have even been published, and since you asked I’ll interject with a nonfiction poem about a transcendent bus incident that happened nearly 30 years ago when I was a grad student in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Bus Stop

A mid-summer evening I’m late getting home antsy for the number sixty-one twenty minutes wait at least according to the schedule when a frowsy woman in a pilled plaid coat far too warm for the season shuffles up to the bus stop plops down her heavy shopping bags just when I’m thinking this is the kind of bag lady you encounter on public transit she asks, Would you like a beer?

And I say, Yes, thank you. I would love a beer.

She hands me a can of Iron City warm as dishwater it foams like hand soap when I pop the tab we sit there on the bench drinking from open containers she asks,

PETS FOR VETS We’re grateful for your service!

Please do, I would love to hear your poems.

I know, I know. I sound more than a bit entitled and pretentious going on like this about the poetry of bus riding. Some people don’t have options and they have to put up with all the inconvenience of buses; I have a car so I can opt out any time I want.

However, with the population of the Salt Lake City metro area growing, we’ve come to a point where people with cars need to stop exercising their privilege of driving everywhere or else none of us will be able to breathe.

That may make riding the bus sound like an unpleasant sacrifice for the public good. However, I’m here to tell you that once I learned the right way to ride a bus, I sometimes feel a bit cheated when I have to drive my car to work. I get there faster, but I miss the birds, the trees, the coffee, the little kids and the poetry. ◆ Amy Brunvand is a librarian at the J.

Aphids 101

Aphids thrive in cooler weather.

Preemptive action now can prevent an aphid plague in fall.

And methods to outsmart the little vampires

F

ture.

Once they puncture the plant tissue, these plump little sugary sweet beings of pure evil begin sucking on the high-pressured fluid. I’m pretty sure they also feed on anguish as a gardener’s favorite plants are lost, and acquire yet more nutrients from a their frustration and tears.

The devastating power of the aphid comes from its ability to reproduce rapidly. Wrap your head around this

Being fully present in your garden, walking through it daily, and deeply observing the ecosystem you steward leads to not only the healthiest garden, but also the healthiest gardener.

When it comes to common garden insect pests there are none more ubiquitous, consistent, or fascinating than aphids. Travel to the other side of the globe and, if there are plants, you'll find aphids ready to dip their filthy little mouth straws into tender plant tissues.

So how is it these minuscule plant vampires wreak so much havoc? And how do we effectively combat them?

To formulate an effective strategy we need to understand the biology of the aphid. They feed primarily on sap by tapping into the plant’s vascular struc-

one: Aphids can give birth to pregnant young. Seriously. Back up and read that again. Aphids can give birth to pregnant young. It’s an ability called parthenogenesis, asexual reproduction that results in nymphs that are clones of their mother. In one season, a single female can produce literally thousands of aphids who each mature rapidly and do the same. They can do this for upwards of 40 generations before needing to reproduce sexually.

With sexual reproduction, the new generation has the capacity to lay eggs

Defense #3 Healthy plants defend themselves

Pests and disease are nature’s way of removing plants that are weak, so make sure your plants are healthy and planted in the right season. Are they getting too little or too much sun? How about water? If a transplant, was it planted at the right time and healthy to begin with?

The number one spot that aphids show up is on brassicas, especially kale, because they are cool weather crops they immediately become disadvantaged with increasing heat.

Likewise peppers are hard hit as fall sets in and temperatures cool down.

ew things crash the garden party harder than the arrival of aphids. In an instant, visions of effortless harvest and flawless plants come to an abrupt halt. One of the first pests a beginner gardener learns to identify, it's really hard to miss them once they show up. And show up they do! One day the plants are spotless, the next leaves are curling under writhing masses of plump little aphids.

wasps. And, trust me, you have a way higher chance of killing all the good bugs than killing all of the bad bugs.

Products like neem oil are completely ineffective against aphids since aphids are not consuming plant tissue.

By avoiding wholesale slaughter of insect populations, we allow the numbers of our beneficial insects to build up to control levels. Rock the boat with pesticides, and it’s back to square one. This is a long-term solution.

Quick fixes are temporary, but balance will be achieved.

Offense 1: Blast ‘em

Defense #1 Beneficial insect habitat

A lush garden flush with predatory insects sees very little sustained damage from pests. Fortunately for the gardener, aphids secrete a sticky, sugary liquid called honeydew that predator insects find delicious. Plump, slow and tender skinned with no defenses, they are the favorite snack of many beneficial insect predators who love to pierce and drain them dry (my nickname for aphids is “ladybug juice boxes”). Bear in mind that most beneficial insects survive on nectar most of the time and only gorge on aphids when outbreaks occur. Create a garden habitat to sustain aphid predators throughout the season by devoting 20% of your space to perennial and annual flowers. (For more info on creating beneficial insect habitat, see CATALYST, April 2016.)

Defense #2 Avoid insecticides

This includes even organic insecticides, which still kill non-target insects—lacewings, ladybugs, parasitic

When done on a regular basis, there is nothing more effective for dislodging aphids than a strong blast of water from a hose nozzle (I prefer the “flat” setting). Pay particular attention to the underside of leaves. Remember, aphids feed by inserting their mouth parts into the plant tissue so as you knock them off the plant you are literally tearing part of their face off. Makes you feel a little better, eh? Even if you see them crawling around on the soil, they won’t last for long. This technique is most effective when done regularly, every two or three days.

Offense 2: Soap ‘em

Make sure you have real liquid soap, not a detergent (most kitchen products are actually detergents). My favorite for this task is good old Dr. Bronner’s baby soap (it doesn't have scents or other oils added). Add 1 teaspoon of soap to 1 quart of water, put in a spray bottle and spray the aphids. I like to do this in conjunction with Offense 1, and will alternate the days I do each until the aphids are under control. DON’T use soap on your plants during the part of the day with intense sun as it can burn the shit out of the plant foliage. Always test out your soap solution on a small portion of a plant first, and check it the following day.

Offense 3: Get rid of ants

Aphids are the cattle of ant ranching operations. Ants herd, protect, and care for aphids in order to have access to the sweet honeydew they secrete. I’ve watched a guard perimeter of ants defend colonies of aphids against ladybug larvae intent on consuming them.

Ants will even take aphids underground in late fall into their burrows, then bring them back up in the spring for another season of ant ranching. Needless to say, if you have this symbiotic relationship occurring in your garden, you aren’t getting rid of the aphids until you get rid of the ants. Unfortunately, getting rid of ants organically is outside of the scope of this article. Stay tuned for a future edition.

Sundays, 10am - 5pm June 5 - September 18 Remember, gardening is the most successful when done as a regular practice. It isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity for connection with the natural world.

Being fully present in your garden, walking through it daily, and deeply observing the ecosystem you steward leads to not only the healthiest garden, but also the healthiest gardener. Make this practice a staple of your daily routine, and aphids or other pests don’t stand a chance. ◆ James Loomis is a professional grower and consultant, and teaches monthly workshops on a variety of topics related to regenerative agriculture and urban homesteading.

Feasts, festivals and cookery classes

hirty, 20, even 10 years ago, Salt Lake's food culture was still as uncreative and bland as funeral potatoes and chicken fried steak and its non-existent cocktail culture remained under the heavy fist of antiquated liquor laws. In the last decade, that has all changed. While new restaurants, breweries, craft distillers and artisan food producers, pop up every day, Salt Lake chefs and restaurateurs are busy perfecting ways to make traditional cuisine new again and bring, as they say, the farm to the table. All this great food has also encouraged a welcome increase in food events. Eight months out of the year there is an endless pallet of food and beverage festivals, tasting fundraisers, cooking classes and more. It’s enough to fill an entire calendar, which is why CATALYST has curated for you our list of favorite food events. Because there are so many wonderful events we will publish the list in four parts.

CHANGE AGENTS

CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET

istening to music can be a profoundly ecstatic experience. So it’s no great surprise that researchers have found listening to music floods our brains with dopamine even long after the song has ended.

Music is also, as most of us have experienced, a potent social glue. If you’ve ever been to a crowded concert hall, seated in front of a symphony orchestra or moshing in a punk rock pit, you’ve probably felt that being at a musical performance is more than just a night out, it’s one way of communicating belonging (studies show that people who affiliate with similar musical tastes often also share core values). Sharing music increases cultural cohesion, or, in other words, music creates community.

Salt Lake has a long history of interesting and surprising music-centric communities.

Guided by the baton of Maurice Abravanel, our city has long sustained a love of classical music and supported a symphony orchestra on par with those of much larger cities.

Memories of the city’s hardcore punk rock scene of the 90s still linger as we remember spaces like the old Speedway Café.

And the growth of festivals such as the Salt Lake Arts Council’s Twilight Concert series, for many years orchestrated by Casey Jarman, and the GAM Foundation Jazz Series have done the incredible job of bringing acts big and small to this little crossroads of the West.

This month, CATALYST starts a new series called Change Agents that looks at people and organizations who are moving Salt Lake forward into new realms—creatively, socially, politically. Some will be names you have heard before, others may be unfamiliar (those who are either new or work quietly behind the scenes). In this first installment, CATALYST looks at change agents in the local music scene. Though the list was long, we have chosen to recognize five organizations and individuals in the Salt Lake music scene who are helping create positive community and cultural cohesion.

At his westside recording studio, Mike Sasich is making sure local musicians have a place to lay down tracks. The annual Crucialfest, what is developing into Salt Lake’s own SXSW, reveals Salt Lake’s underground love affair with heavy metal. A look back at the era of poster artist Leia Bell reminds us of how much visual art can nurture a music scene. Voices from KRCL’s past and present remind us of the power of community radio.

And, new kid on the block Diabolical Records is nourishing a scene of young millennial rockers. Together, these five figures are agents of change, creating new cultures and communities and making our city a surprising, vibrant and unique place to live.

A music-centric community and the people bringing new sounds and scenes to town

MIKE SASICH SLC’s special sauce

L

– BENJAMIN BOMBARD

ook at the credits on the albums by the Salt Lake City-based bands you love and, regardless of the musical genre, chances are they all share something in common. Whether it’s the latest Talia Keys blues-rock record Fool’s Gold, the debut EP from the ladies’ folk trio Canyons, or Folk Hogan’s rip-roaring circus-punk record The Show, you’ll notice a theme. They were all produced, recorded, mixed and/or mastered by Mike Sasich at his Man vs Music recording studio—a name, Sasich says, inspired by his daughter who commented once on her father’s intense and solo efforts to make music, almost like he was doing battle.

With over 13 years of professional music production experience, Sasich has earned a reputation for making good musicians sound great for a reasonable price on a quick turnaround. A gifted and in-demand guitarist, Sasich has the technical know-how, gear and musical ear to help bands craft their

sound, record albums and refine the sonic mix, channeling and refining the diverse sound of a growing city.

The shortlist of bands that have turned to Sasich for their production needs is a who’s-who of Salt Lake’s most prominent musical acts, including Candy’s River House, Night Sweats, Bronco, Starmy, Color Animal, The Moths and many others.

Essentially self-taught, Sasich brings an incredibly eclectic range of musical interests and influences to his work, from Chopin and Rachmaninoff to Motown, Led Zeppelin, Throbbing Gristle, Neu, Miles Davis, Pavement, Gram Parsons and Fela Kuti. His record collection is so immense that to support its full and ever increasing weight he had to reinforce his home’s floor.

Sasich’s studio has moved locations a number of times since it started in his house as a side gig to his work producing live sound at concert venues. In the early days, cables ran all through the house, up the stairs, from room to room. There were amps in the living room and bathroom. His bedroom doubled as the control room. The studio’s latest location, in Glendale’s industrial sector, is, says Mike Sartain, frontman for the local rock band Starmy, “one of the best recording rooms in the city” and “beautiful” to boot.

City Weekly recently named Sasich the best music producer in town. Music and pop culture blogger/writer Gavin Sheehan says Sasich is one of the first names that comes to mind when a “band needs an album made super professional on a tight budget.

“Mike has a way of working with musicians to get the best they can out of stuff that isn't prominent or may be lacking in a song,” Sheehan said.

In the early days, cables ran all through Sasich’s house, up the stairs, from room to room. There were amps in the living room and bathroom. His bedroom doubled as the control room.

“He’s an extra member of the band,” said Sartain. “He’s invested in what he puts out. How he mixes, the equipment he uses, and the recording rooms at his studio—it’s the special sauce for a lot of music in this city.”

Crucialfest A lion among sheep — Z. SMITH

S

alt Lake has—probably since Black Sabbath’s first tritone progression—always had a heavy music scene. The Heavy Metal Shop, which opened in 1987, and its easily recognized monochromatic skull and block letter logo, stands as a firm testament of that deeply rooted history. So it should come as no surprise that Salt Lake is also the home to one of the country’s most important heavy metal festivals, Crucialfest. Yet, somehow, Crucialfest and Salt Lake’s heavy metal scene remains a hidden undercurrent for many local residents.

Crucialfest 6 held its 6th annual weeklong, multi-venue event just last month.

This year, the festival featured over 50 national and international bands—Form of Rocket (SLC), Wizard Rifle (Brooklyn), Accidente (Madrid, Spain)—in nine different showcases. These heavy metal and hardcore punk acts lit up the city,

“We're not about getting a bunch of big names and making a killing,” says Bischoff. “We’re about promoting the most sincere, credible artists we can find.”

playing intimate, small spaces—Kilby Court, Metro Bar, The Art Garden, and The Urban Lounge. With its the impressive number of bands, diversity of sound (within the hardcore genres) and its multi-venue format, this homegrown festival is being likened to the early days of South

by Southwest. “Crucialfest is putting SLC’s metal scene on the map,” says Kory Quist, guitarist and vocalist for local sludge metal band Making Fuck, who made its third appearance at this year’s festival.

For those who are still surprised, here’s proof of Salt Lake’s heavy music cred straight from the source. “[The metal scene] has always been pretty strong here,” confirms Heavy Metal Shop owner Kevin Kirk, “People perceive Utah as just this Mormon thing and that’s all, but there are so many different and talented artists here.”

So, in 2011, local musician Jarom Bischoff, after parting ways with his former band Loom, was looking for “something to do locally.” The void left after leaving his post-hardcore band sparked a simple realization: “There wasn't a local festival that represented either local heavy music or independent heavy music and I thought there might be a place for such a thing here.” And so, in the land of pilgrims and our-father-who-art-in-heaven, Crucialfest was born—a brutal lion among sheep.

Making Fuck

“We've always been about heavy music, so we stick with that…mostly,” says Bischoff. “[T]he type of rock and metal that we include in

Crucialfest brings sonic intensity, gripping live performance, technical musicianship, passion, and purpose.” But Crucialfest is about more than just a good time. One of Bischoff’s most important goals is to make this Utah event a networking hub for local and regional bands. “It's small and way more intimate than some huge ridiculous camping festival,” says Bischoff. “A person who comes to Crucialfest will leave with new bands that they love, bands they never heard before.” And this intimacy is exactly the point. “We're not about getting a bunch of big names and making a killing,” says Bischoff. “We're about promoting the most sincere, credible artists we can find.” And, year by year, one show at a time, Crucialfest is changing the scene, creating a place where artists can do what they do best, uncensored, unhindered, on their own terms.

But in the end, this isn’t enough, “It takes a lot of work to keep a scene alive, let alone build one,” says Bischoff. So what can we do to build up the scene and further the work started by Bischoff and so many before him? “Go to shows.

Pay the cover. Support your friends’ bands. Buy merch. Put your money

where your mouth is.” And, with local support each year this homegrown heavy music festival will continue making waves locally and regionally, bringing Salt Lake and its talent center-stage.

isual art and music. Together, these two forms have defined recent generations of youth and creative movements. Think of the ’60s and the iconic poster art that defined the psychedelic rock era. We can all picture Wes Wilson’s melting letters and Victor Moscoso’s vibrant colors. Now think of the Salt Lake City music scene, circa 1999, and what visual do you get? Likely, you are recalling the bold colors and rough portraits characteristic of the artist Leia Bell.

Bell was just finishing her undergrad at the University of Utah in printmaking when she met Phil Sherburne, a picture perfect ’90s surfer/rocker with long blonde hair who worked out of his wood shop on a westside street and had recently purchased the neighboring lot

to start a new music venue he named after the street it was on, Kilby Court. At the time, Sherburne was singlehandedly operating the venue, ticketing, running the sound, fliers, answering phones and receiving and previewing cassette tapes in the mail from bands. Bell offered to help. Sherburne suggested screen-printing posters. The rest is Salt Lake rock and roll history.

While most of Bell’s posters for the next decade advertised Kilby shows, Bell’s reputation as a poster artist also got her poster commissions for big name acts—Elvis Costello, the Decemberists, Devandra Banhart, Death Cab for Cutie, Fiona Apple, My Chemical Romance, Rilo Kiley, The Shins— playing at larger venues like Kingsbury Hall.

Bell’s work also attracted attention outside of the tiny Salt Lake music scene. In 2004, authors Paul Grushkin and Dennis King immortalized Bell’s art in their book Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion.

“The roots of the silkscreen movement were laid down in Austin, Texas in the ‘80s,” wrote Grushkin and King, “[where] poster makers…were beginning to create something new, original, and vibrant, with a strong, independent music scene…[Today] young people all over the globe are furiously pumping out concert and event posters from kitchen tables, garages, home studios…Others are just as feverishly tracking down and collecting them.”

The demand for these new rock posters, as suggested by Grushkin and King, was certainly evident to Bell and Sherburne (to whom she is now married). Before long, says Sherburne, “she was making more off the posters than we were making off the shows. It was almost like the shows were a means to the posters.” These days a Leia Bell poster on DKING-GALLERY.COM still goes for top dollar, from $35 to $500.

Times have changed; concert promotion has moved mostly to the digital arena. Flyers and posters, says Bell, “feel trivial now. It’s just a

piece of memorabilia sold at merch tables.” Bell and Sherburne have moved on from the music scene.

They now run the local frame shop Signed and Numbered, while raising their family of three children, but for many fans Bell’s work will always define a generation of music in Salt Lake and will continue to inspire new artists yet to come.

The voice of community – KATHERINE PIOLI

S

alt Lake City will probably always have a dominant homogenous culture that is white and Mormon and listens predominantly to the top 20 hits on corporate radio stations, but this small city also has a multitude of vibrant music-based counter cultures all of whom in one way or another owe their existence to a once little (now not-so-little) alternative radio station, KRCL (90.9 fm).

“At such a young age, to be able to identify myself with something like KRCL, to be proud of something I was doing, was really powerful,” says Ebay Jamil Hamilton.

Back in the day, the folks who started Salt Lake’s first community radio station (in 1979) could also be found hanging out at Cosmic Aeroplane Books and the Blue Mouse art house theater. “We were the non-Mormons, the Democrats, the LGBT,” recalls Barb Guy, former on-air host, volunteer and board representative for KRCL, “and we started the station because we were concerned that the voices in our community were not being heard.”

In giving voice to otherwise hidden communities, KRCL brought people, outsiders in the valley,

together and created a network that supported alternative political initiatives—Deb Levine’s nuclear waste update—local musicians, and businesses—Raunch Records and Smokey’s Records (closed in 1995). A decade later, the station’s diversity of sounds and voices were still attracting new and young listeners.

Current KRCL program director and on-air host Ebay Jamil Hamilton first set foot in the station as a 13year-old summer intern, in 1992.

Soon after, Hamilton was offered an early morning slot on the radio and began spinning soul records for listeners. “I was too young to drive,” recalls Hamilton. “So my mom took me to the station and would sleep on the couch while I played. At such a young age, to be able to identify myself with something like KRCL, to be proud of something I was doing, was really powerful.” Today, KRCL continues to encourage youth involvement with Loud and Clear, the state’s only youth-produced radio program (the program is also co-supported by Spy Hop and facilitated by volunteer Shannalee; listen in Saturday nights, 9-10 pm).

In the early 2000s, the station hit a rough patch. The city was growing, says Hamilton, but listenership was stagnant. In an attempt to save the station, a huge reorganization occurred, workweek daytime volunteer dj shows were cut and replaced with paid djs. Playlists were streamlined into sets more generally appealing to the average listener.

The quirkier on-air elements, community updates, poetry readings, activist alerts, were axed. Many of the original KRCL founding members were dismayed. KRCL, they felt, was no longer a true community radio station.

Though a little less off-the-wall and eclectic, KRCL has continued to be perhaps the city’s strongest supporter, promoter and network builder for local alternative politics and music. “When I was younger,” says Hamilton, “on a Friday night there was one cool thing going on in the city. Now we have five or more things to choose from every night and I think KRCL has made that happen by exposing people to national and local artists so when they book at a venue here, people show up.”

Talia Keys is one such local musician who has benefitted from local exposure through KRCL. “I think I’ve been live on KRCL eight different times in the last few years to pro-

mote different projects,” says Keys who recently went on air ahead of her performance at Pride Fest and who kickstarted sale of her album Fool’s Gold at a KRCL release party last year. “What they do for us, it means everything. To get play on such a widely listened to media is huge for independent artists like me.”

From their sponsorship of Living Traditions and the

DIABOLICAL RECORDS

Twilight Concerts series, to their free online events calendar listing local performances, to their release parties and live in-studio sessions, KRCL continues to be an essential platform from which local musicians and alternative local communities can build their sound and grow their voice.

University of Utah BFA Featured Art Award

E

ach spring, a new group of art students leaves the schoolstructured discipline of art education and enters the working world as painters, sculptors, graphic designers, photographers and mixed media artists.

This spring, University of Utah Bachelors of Fine Arts students produced an exhibit in the upstairs gallery space at Trolley Square, showcasing the graduating seniors’ work. Produced by students Cheryl Sandoval and Nathaneal Read, the exhibit was free and open to the public April 21-30.

As a sponsor of this year’s Senior Class Exhibit, CATALYST awarded two students the opportunity to have their work published in the magazine. We selected Christian Clarke and Nathaneal Read.

n my most recent work, I use imagery and characters from my family’s history, as well as historical figures, to create my own imaginative visual record. I do not want to replicate historical narratives and images, but rather use their influence in inventing my own short stories. Each invented narrative in this series of paintings and prints presents an alternative history, containing clues that connect one work to the other. I leave open-ended questions for viewers to answer, encouraging them to extrapolate narratives.

Using paint, as well as digital media, I continue to develop my visual record, with plans to investigate new media content, presented in an online format.

represent behavior, religious or otherwise. Habits, such as prayer, scripture study and church attendance strengthen my spiritual self. In a parallel vein, sketching, rubbing the paper off an acrylic gel medium transfer and mixing paint strengthen my artistic self.

These simple tasks contribute in unanticipated, but significant, ways to a greater whole.

Deity’s active hand is often revealed in the form of another person, and divine characteristics and lessons found in imperfect people. Figures are often in quiet spaces where epiphanies dawn. Meaningful art subtly emerges from the mundane of the everyday. My inexact hand is evident as an expression of my involvement in constructing the bridge across the chasm that exists between man and God. Nathanealread.net

SUMMER IN THE SUN

I

’m a redhead. A ginger. A freckle-covered sunburn waiting to happen. To bathe my skin in sunscreen everyday is my habit and my curse, but every time I read the back of a sunscreen bottle I see more chemical ingredients than there are states in the Union. Could the very thing I use to protect myself from the sun’s radiation be doing more harm than good?

Mounting evidence suggests that runof-the-mill chemical-based sunscreens cause everything from hormone disruption and free radical transformation in humans to the bleaching of coral reefs.

A study published in February 2016’s edition of Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology states that Oxybenzone, a common ingredient in chemical sunscreen, can start causing adverse effects in coral at just the smallest concentrations. The National Parks Service even issued a bulletin in 2012 urging visitors to the park system’s coral reefs to “Protect Yourself, Protect the Reefs” and avoid wearing chemical sunscreens while swimming in the waters.

The Environmental Working Group releases a yearly guide ranking sunscreens based on the health effects of each ingredient. They take seriously the suspected endocrine disruption by oxybenzone and other active ingredients like avobenzone, knocking down in their rankings the products containing those ingredients.

If sun exposure can certainly cause cancer, and sunscreen might knock my hormone levels out of whack, how’s a Ginger supposed to protect herself?

Visit our website (www.CatalystMagazine.net) for more: A rundown on SPF, reviews of some physical sunscreens, application tips, and another viewpoint on our relationship with the sun.

For a better sunscreen,

Get physical STORY BY EMMA RYDER PHOTOS BY ADDIE RYDER

Emma is wearing dabs of physical sunscreen for artistic effect but imediately swathed her self in it from head to toe once the photo shoot was over. Smart girl!

It looks like the magic bullet to safe sun protection could be physical, also known as mineral based, sunscreen.

Physical sunscreens are made of the UV-blocking active ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These natural minerals are ground down into a fine powder and mixed into a solution.

Physical sunscreens create a physical barrier on the skin’s surface, deflecting the sun away from the skin.

To get a professional’s opinion on the best way to protect my at-risk skin I turned to Julie Maughan, MD of Wasatch Dermatology. Besides being a highly trained medical professional, and Davis County’s first female dermatologist, Dr. Maughan has the fair porcelain skin of someone who takes sun exposure very seriously. Remove a few dozen melanomas a week from patients and you can’t help but avoid the sun, she says.

Dr. Maughan’s sunscreen of choice?

Physical sunscreen combined with smart, skin-covering clothing. “I’m a huge fan [of physical sunscreen],” she says. “I can protect myself and minimize my risk.”

Dr. Maughan says the way physical sunscreen deflects UV rays is more naturally broad spectrum than chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens need more active ingredients to achieve broad spectrum UV coverage, contributing to skin irritant reactions like contact dermatitis.

But, ultimately, “any sunscreen is better than no sunscreen,” she says.

In the state with the highest rates of

skin cancer, how diligently should the average Utahn apply this protective goop? Dr. Maughan suggests that applying sun protectants once in the morning can be sufficient for some people. “For people who work and live indoors, who

Dr. Maughan has the fair porcelain skin of someone who takes sun exposure very seriously. Remove a few dozen melanomas a week from patients and you can’t help but want to avoid the sun, she says. aren’t outdoor types of people, up to 90% of their sun exposure comes from walking to the car...It doesn’t matter if it’s five-minute or 20-minute increments, it all adds up.” She says. When out in the sun for extended periods of time people should reapply as directed on the bottle, usually every 40 to 80 minutes of direct sun exposure.

This reapplication issue is where phys-

ical sunscreens trump chemical once again. Zinc and titanium dioxide don’t degrade as fast as their chemical counterparts when exposed to the sun, staying affective longer.

I’ve turned to the Environmental Working Group’s Sunscreen Guide in the past to help decide which potions to purchase. It’s a good resource for those wanting to avoid putting chemicals onto and in their bodies. While Dr. Maughan agrees that it is a good place to start, she also recommends the Skin Cancer Foundation’s information and says when choosing a sun screen, look for their Seal of Recommendation on a product.

Acknowledging that there is still debate on whether either type of sun protection is safer than the other, and possible future side effects from all sun protection options aside, Dr. Maughan will continue to slather on the protection. “There may be consequences down the road that I don’t know, but do I want to risk the consequences of what I don’t know in exchange for ones I do?”

As someone who’s a burner—and not the fun, festival-going kind—I’m glad there are options for me out there.

Whether science proves or disproves any claims regarding the health effects of common sunscreen ingredients, I will continue my two-pronged approach of physical sunscreen and protective clothing. ◆ Emma Ryder is a writer and artist from Salt Lake who loves the sun but fears its wrath on her tender complexion.

Intuitive patterns for

July 2016

BY SUZANNE WAGNER

Osho Zen Tarot: Participation, Projections, Creativity Medicine Cards: Ant, Rabbit, Wolf Mayan Oracle: Language of Light, Transparency Ancient Egyptian Tarot: Queen of Disks, Seven of Wands, Three of Wands Aleister Crowley Deck: Queen of Disks, Lust, The Empress Healing Earth Tarot: Seven of Wands, Ace of Rainbows, Medicine Wheel Words of Truth: Heart, Understanding, Feeling strologically, a few things are working for us this month. On July 7 the stars create mental overdrive that can trigger some stubborn, negative, but also some very deep thinking. Expect challenging and stuck emotions as you try to separate truth from fiction. Don’t overreact. This may be the moment to heed the call to freedom.

On July 11, lively and energetic discussions may trigger some sudden inspirations but also some overtly honest responses. Remember to be kind.

Venus goes into Leo on July 12, making things more playful and fun.

Suddenly there is a light inside. Allow yourself to explore. It might be the most interesting to use this aspect in the sexual realms. Leo is a childlike, enthusiastic sign. Venus (goddess of love) will bring out your inner flirt, making things very va-va-voom during its transit in Leo. Expect things to get stirred up and excitement to be the driving force from the middle till the end of July.

We are still navigating Neptune retrograde, which heightens intuition and awareness. Do not shove the truth as you see it under the carpet. You may have to pull someone aside and ask the underlying uncomfortable question but it is better to find out the truth than wait too long, because when Neptune goes direct in November, hiding from the truth could come back to haunt you.

Mercury also enters Leo on July 13 and let’s just say it is going to be a great time for socializing and connecting with those you love. You will feel warmhearted and generous. Communication will be extra interesting because everyone will be paying more attention to all conversations.

On the 19th there is a full Moon in Capricorn so expect to get pulled in two directions; you might have a hard time

making a decision.

The Sun enters Leo on July 22. As we turn into the hottest time of the year, there are more warm social interactions to be enjoyed. On July 29 Mercury squares Mars, making arguments likely.

Uranus goes retrograde till late December, sending all plans back to the drawing board. Be prepared with the understanding that things will not go as smoothly as you wish. But at least the details will be easier to deal with. And solid discussions will bring clarity to some critical issues.

The cards also reflect the blend of fear and fighting. Look squarely at the dualities in your life. Where you want power, you will need patience. Where you want grounding, you will need to find others who are willing to participate from a

Venus will bring out your inner flirt, making things very va-va-voom during its transit in Leo. place of heart understanding.

It is best to be as transparent as possible because there is a strong feeling to want to protect and defend your position on things. Just remember that others may or may not share in your enthusiastic truth. Accept that extreme emotions are prevalent and many will not be behaving rationally. You have to find creative solutions to the situations that are still bothering you. You have to allow a new space to open in your life. Often that means letting old patterns and behaviors go. It’s best to let the universe fill the emptiness than for you to decide what you think you want.

Many obstacles lie ahead but you cannot look that far into the future because so many things are changing; what you thought you wanted, you may not actually desire to put the time and energy into now. You have only to look at what is presented each day and do what’s right in front of you.

The beginning of July is the most conflicted and the most controversial. The good news is that as the season warms up, so will the emotions. A better disposition will unfold naturally if you allow it to. ◆ Suzanne Wagner is the author of numerous books and CDs on the tarot and creator of the Wild Women app. She now lives in California, but visits Utah for classes and readings frequently.
