didn't choose to become an artist.

I just always made art, wrote poems, stories and songs, put on impromptu or choreographed performances private and public. I generally have just gotten carried away with whatever my imagination wanted. It's a possession of spirit, a fire that burns away your social identity and makes you follow it. I get so high being caught up in the flames of imagination, and now, long hours and years of practice at painting (my medium of choice) have given me the freedom to make whatever I want.

My limitations are mine to conquer. ◆

hy another play about Joe Hill? There has already been a play, a oneman musical, a movie, a documentary, and several books. Why another? Three reasons. One is that William Adler has written a terrific new history of Joe Hill’s trial, and he has uncovered information that changes what we think we know about the story.

The second is that no one has really looked at the women in Joe’s story. I give Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a Wobbly activist and later one of the founders of the ACLU, a prominent place in my play. She corresponded with Joe while he was imprisoned and even met with him at the city jail, and their letters suggest Joe was more than a little enamored of her. I think her view of Joe as a martyr for labor’s cause colored his own self-conception.

Finally, we need another play about Joe Hill because his story is the story of the Wobblies, the Industrial Workers of the World, the union of which Joe was a member.

And their story is still relevant to our times. In the course of researching Joe’s story, I found myself captivated by the Wobblies. I had heard of the Wobblies, of course, but mostly, growing up in the 1950s and ’60s, the era of the Cold War, I saw them portrayed as out and out Communists, or at least a very close cousin. What I didn’t know was how quixotic, even romantic, a group of idealists they were.

And artistic. They had a plethora of songwriters and poets. They had stand-up comics.

They even staged a Broadway production to raise funds for striking workers, which didn’t work, of

Joe Hill is still alive

course, but what an idea.

And then as I studied that time when the Wobblies were at their peak, the nineteen teens, I was taken aback by how much the Wobblies’ protests still echo today, in the twenty teens taken aback by

how little things have changed.

Wages so low a person can’t live on them. Check. Police brutality. Check.

Gross income disparity. Check. Prejudice against immigrants. Check.

Preferential legal treatment for the rich. Check.

7

The Wobblies supported racial equality; as one said, “As long as black workers are discriminated against I don’t want to be white.”

They supported gender equality.

They supported a living wage. They supported the free speech right of protest. They believed immigrants had every right to be here and work for the American dream. They believed it was unconscionable that a tiny percentage of the population lived lives of wealth and excess while children went to bed hungry. They suffered egregious police brutality for what they advocated.

And when I think about the Wobblies, I care less about whether or not Joe was guilty. I don’t know if he was or not. We can’t know. Anyone who says they do know is speaking from conviction, not proof. But I do know Joe didn’t get a fair trial. And a lot of the reasons he didn’t get a fair trial then are still with us today.

The system was stacked against Joe then, and today it is stacked against the poor, the immigrant, and the minority, just as it was in Joe’s time.

As the Innocence Projects around the country have shown, hundreds if not thousands of people have been wrongfully convicted because of bias against the color of their skin or where they were born, because of police or prosecutorial misconduct, or because they couldn’t afford decent legal representation and the system didn’t provide it to them.

We should all be Wobblies. ◆ Debora Threedy’s plays The End of the Horizon (about Everett Ruess), Wallace (about Wallace Stegner) and The Third Crossing (about Sally Hemings) have previously premiered at Plan-B. Her latest, One Big Union, receives its world premiere November 1020. PLANBTHEATRE.ORG

More toxic algae in Utah

– Critical Mass slogan

Utah Sierra Club political endorsements, 2016

I

n August toxic algae struck again in Utah killing fish in Scofield Reservoir which supplies water for Price, Utah. So far this year, toxic algal blooms have appeared in Farmington Bay, Payson Lakes and Utah Lake.

Toxic algae blooms are associated with warmerthan-normal water, high carbon dioxide levels, and are predicted to occur more often and with more intensity due to climate change.

Because it does not claim nonprofit status, the Sierra Club is one of the few environmental organizations that can actively lobby for the environment and endorse pro-environmental candidates at elections. Take a look at the list of Utah Chapter Sierra Club political endorsements and vote for the environment!

UTAH.SIERRACLUB.ORG/UTAH-CHAPTER-2016-POLITICAL-ENDORSEMENTS

Congressional leaning on Public Lands Initiative On September 14 the House Public Lands Subcommittee held a hearing on Rep. Rob Bishop’s (R-UT-1) Public Lands Initiative bill. Neil Kornze, Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) slammed the bill saying, “The Department opposes the nonstandard management language for many of the proposed conservation and special management designations, which are repeated throughout the bill and would result in significantly less protection than in other similarly designated

They built a better road

Mia Love has it wrong re. Doug Owens and the Legacy Highway

Utah Congresswoman Mia Love (R-UT4) has been running misleading attack ads against challenger Doug Owens (D) over his role as a lawyer for Utahns for Better Transportation (UBET) opposing construction of the Legacy Highway. Love’s ad says that the fight over the Legacy Highway cost public money, but never mentions that the result was a much, much better highway development.

Fifteen years ago the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) proposed to build the Legacy Highway, a poorly conceived, environmentally destructive freeway which would have punched through Great Salt Lake wetlands, promoted

sprawl development, and actually increased traffic miles driven, resulting in more traffic jams and generally worse air quality along the Wasatch Front (traffic planners know that you can’t build your way out of traffic jams because new roads generate new traffic—the original plan had no transit option). UBET and the Utah Sierra Club filed a lawsuit to force highway developers to consider environmental impacts, and they won.

The highway that was eventually built includes a bike trail, a nature preserve and a good alternative to driving in the form of FrontRunner commuter rail.

The outcome of the Legacy Highway fight is widely viewed as a successful demonstration of how environmental laws serve to promote public interest via community dialog. In specifically attacking the Legacy Highway, Love seems to be

advocating an outdated planning model that the Wasatch Front cannot afford, considering projected population growth and climate change.

According to UBET, the problem with the original Legacy Highway proposal was that the goal was simply to put more cars on the road without thinking about air quality, wetlands destruction, sprawl or creating livable communities.

UBET suggests that future transportation planning should start with the question, ”How can we reduce predicted increases in traffic?” This is particularly important since Utah’s population is still growing, and with population increase comes more pressure for unnecessary road building.

areas. Additionally, the Department strongly opposes the unprecedented language transferring all energy development and permitting authority within the affected counties from the Federal government to the State of Utah, proposed limits on the BLM’s management of grazing, and the automatic granting of Revised Statute (R.S.) 2477 right-of-way claims that are currently subject to active litigation with no showing that they have satisfied applicable legal standards.”

Regina Lopez-Whiteskunk who is a Councilwoman of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and Co-Chair of the Bears Ears Intertribal Coalition testified against a provision in the bill that would transfer 100,000 acres of Ute tribal land to the State of Utah. “This bill has been built on the back of the Ute Indian Tribe and their Reservation homelands,” she said. “Let me be clear, a vote for this bill is a vote to steal Indian lands, diminish tribal self-determination, and set federal Indian policy back 100 years.”

Legislative Hearing on H.R. 5780 Utah Public Lands Initiative Act: NATURALRESOURCES.HOUSE.GOV/CALENDAR/ EVENTSINGLE. ASPX?EVENTID=401106

Utah DEQ opposes regional haze reduction Utahns consistently rank poor air quality as one of their biggest concerns, so you’d think that the Utah Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) would be trying to comply with federal clean air regulations. Wrong.

In July the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rejected the State of Utah’s regional haze plan as ineffective. Instead of complying with the Federal Implementation Plan, DEQ has appealed the decision, insisting that the rejected Utah plan is somehow better than EPA’s plan.

Secret Utah water plan released A meeting of the Utah Water Strategy Advisory Committee turned into shouting when the

Committee tried to keep the public from seeing or commenting on a draft long-term water plan for the State of Utah. The Salt Lake Tribune obtained a copy and the draft plan was released on the Envision Utah website.

Unfortunately, the draft plan offers nothing new in the way of either water conservation or environmental conservation. One particularly bad aspect is unquestioned support for current practices of agricultural water use.

Last year a Utah Foundation report pointed out that 82% of diverted water in Utah goes to agriculture and half of that water is used to irrigate a single crop— alfalfa hay. Worse, a lot of the hay grown in Utah is shipped to China.

So essentially Utah’s artificially cheap taxpayer-subsidized water feeds Chinese cows. Nonetheless, the draft plan supports building two new hugely expensive and environmentally catastrophic water projects—the Lake Powell Pipeline and the Bear River Project.

The whole plan seems, frankly, crazy. But that’s probably why they were trying to keep it secret.

e were at our corner coffee place, Coffee Noir. Jude Rubadue, friend and neighbor, said, “I woke up in the night, thinking, ‘What about all the ugly tomatoes? I’ve got to make use of the less than perfect produce!” That was a year ago. Such are a chef’s nightmares.

Then along comes NYC chef Tyler Kord, writing A Super Upsetting Cookbook About Sandwiches (Clarkson Potter: 2016), agreeing with Jude and then some: “If you want to be known as an excellent cook, then you should become a champion of the less- than-perfect ingredients... Make it a point to find food that doesn’t look great, and turn it into something that transcends itself.”

“Cosmetically challenged” food is often abandoned. People who would never malign an unattractive person reject the misshapen produce. Why? Usually it equals its more symmetrical siblings in nutritional value. Nonetheless it is a large part of the 40% of food that goes uneaten in the U.S. Then there are the trimmings, the bones—all the parts of plants and animals we no longer typically eat, though likely our ancestors did.

It takes effort and imagination to create something delicious out of the ignored or unknown, Jude admits. And education.

Scientist and food waste expert Dana Gunders realized this, too, and wrote The Waste Free Kitchen Handbook (Chronicle Books, 2015).

She says shopping skills, refrigerator management and having the right equipment helps. Jude keeps a food dryer on her kitchen counter, and uses it. “Dried bananas

are way yummy,” she says. Home freezers make it easier. Canning, pickling and fermenting are reasonable skills to acquire.

This particular homely activism may not sing to everyone. But if we each made a gesture toward being more conscious cooks and consumers, the cumulative effect would not go unnoticed on the planet. National Geographic wrote a good story about this [“Waste Not, Want Not,” March 2016.]

And food awareness is catching on.

Bones, once tossed, are simmering in crockpots across the country as we learn the delicious benefits of bone broth (see June 2015 CATALYST HTTP://WWW.CATALYSTMAGAZINE. NET/BONE-BROTH/). More people are eating the lesser-known organ meats. Charcuterie—smoking, salting, curing meat—is a useful word again.

n journalistic jargon “30” means the end. That’s what Utah highway 30 is; it’s probably the last place you’d pick to explore in Utah but you should. Everybody brags on Highway 12 in Southern Utah but that is just boring postcard beauty. Highway 30 is the real unspoiled Utah.

Following the northern contour of The Great Salt Lake, it runs roughly from Snowville, Utah to Montello, Nevada’s least famous gambling town. Along the way you’ll pass through Park Valley, which has the least Pokémon in Utah. About eight years ago you could have bought the only three businesses in town for $300,000. I guess they didn’t get any takers because they are all closed now; meaning you better plan for 105 miles of no services.

I’ve been driving Highway 30 at least twice a year for the last 30 years and it still relaxes and surprises me every time. Where there are no big attractions, you look for the tiny ones. I hope you like this little gallery: a fake Christmas tree decorated with flip flops and bubble wands, cow femurs painted in primary colors; bullet hole-riddled cans on a dead tree; why not? All things are possible on 30. I won’t tell you exactly where they are; you’ll have to drive 30 and find them yourself.

CITY SPACES

A new life for the city cemetary?

What to consider when a cemetary reaches capacity

I

t was late September, 1848, when George B. Wallace walked out of the new Mormon pioneer settlement of Salt Lake City, away from the muddy streets crowded with people, horses and wagons, and into the snow-covered sage-grown benches on the city’s northeast side. In his arms was the small body of his baby d a u g h t e r, Mary M .

Wallace, born t h e winter before at Indian Winter Quarters, and dead, at 21 months, of diarrhea— her baby brother would soon follow. The foothills were a quiet place for a burial, a place that might remain undisturbed by the quickly growing settlement below.

She would be alone and at peace.

The memory of baby Mary M. Wallace remains today etched in stone, immortalized on the black obelisk that bears her name at the Salt Lake City Cemetery and again on the plaque above the cemetery’s archway entrance that declares: Salt Lake Cemetery Est. 1848. The pioneer child was the first burial in what is today the City Cemetery—located in the Avenues between N and U streets and 4th and 11th avenues.

Not long after George Wallace found his daughter’s final resting place, other pioneer families followed laying to rest their loved ones on the same sage-covered hill. The area became an official burial site when it was taken over by the city and Wallace became the first sexton in charge of the

BY KATHERINE PIOLI grounds. Today the City Cemetery is the largest municipal cemetery in the United States with 150 acres of land covered by 9.5 miles of road and 124,000 burial plots (Salt Lake City is currently home to about 200,000 living citizens).

Despite its size, the City Cemetery is frighteningly close to full capacity. According to the city’s records, and projections compiled for the SLC Cemetery Master Plan, a project begun by the city in

2009, the municipality has “contractual obligation to provide burials for 24,000 pre-sold burial rights.” Unsold burial sites remaining at City Cemetery, as of July of this year, number a mere 800.

Those numbers have Salt Lake City doing some deep soul searching. After the city stops burying people, is the cemetery still fulfilling its purpose? Does it lose its value to the community? And how else could a community use and relate

to that space? After another 25 or 50 or 100 years, who will care if the graves are cared for, the lawn cut, trees planted, roads repaired? Will the city and its tax payers still want to set aside money for its upkeep?

The City Cemetery, under municipal management, receives funding through city taxes. Money from the sale of gravesites goes into a general fund for the city from which all municipal programs draw. Nancy Monteith, a landscape architect and park planner for the city who is currently engaged with the Cemetery Master Plan team, calls that kind of funding a double-edged sword. On one hand, it means that the Cemetery will never exactly run out of money; on the other hand it is al-

ERIN GEESAMAN RABKE

The City Cemetery may have invaluable potential as wildlife habitat if it’s managed wisely. It is within a half mile of areas considered important habitat for critical or endangered species like the large yellow lady’s slipper, Peregrine falcon, Swainson’s hawk, Wasatch daisy, Wasatch fitweed, the western toad and the Mill Creek mountain snail.

ways competing with other municipal projects for funding, especially when it comes to additional funding for capital improvement projects. Currently, the 9.5 miles of roads through the cemetery are in such a state of disrepair, says Monteith, that city engineers have assessed repair costs at around $20

dents interested in the longevity of the City Cemetery is integral.

That’s where the master plan comes in. Within the next 100 years no one will be burying loved ones in the City Cemetery. As that use naturally phases out, the city hopes to reinvent the cemetery as a space for the living.

million. There’s also other aging infrastructure—retaining walls, buildings—and long-term maintenance of the grounds complicated by steep slopes and grades (there’s a 300-foot elevation gain from Fourth Ave. to 1100 East), and complications with minimal parking and limited expansion options. And who helps decide if these cemetery issues receive priority funding? Well, getting resi-

From Boston to Atlanta to Philadelphia, municipal cemeteries are already changing what it means to be a cemetery. Many have gift shops and visitor centers.

They host weddings, horticulture workshops, wine tastings and movie screenings, concert series and yoga classes, musicals and plays, even car shows. Salt Lake officials already have some idea of the direction they hope to take,

and don’t worry, it’s not car shows.

“The public has voiced a spectrum of desires with many wanting no change at all,” says Nancy Monteith, noting feedback the city received during their first public open house on the issue last June.

“We [the city] want to make the Cemetery accessible for appropriate uses.”

To find what the city may constitute “appropriate use” one should go back nearly 200 years to the founding of the first “garden style” cemetery, Mt. Auburn, in Boston, Massachusetts. Garden cemeteries, which enjoyed widespread popularity in the United States in the middle of the 19th century, were based upon English landscape gardening and designed as a contrast to increasingly urban settings. Thought of as places for the living as much as for the dead, they were essentially city parks, places where families could picnic and take long walks and find solitude and beauty.

Solitude; open space; religious and historic importance are values that city planners hope to resurrect when it comes to the public’s perception of the City Cemetery.

And there’s another interesting

value that officials hope to make more visible: wildlife.

Those who have walked through the City Cemetery, or any other cemetery near the city’s foothills, likely have their own story of an animal encounter, deer and magpies being the most common sightings, but there are others. In 2014, KSL News profiled two of the City Cemetery’s living residents, a nesting pair of great horned owls who had made their home among the graves for enough years (about six) that some locals had given them names—Olive and Walt.

The City Cemetery actually may have invaluable potential as wildlife habitat if it’s managed wisely. Maps created for the Salt Lake City Open Space Acquisition Strategy (2010) show that the City Cemetery is in a critical zone within a half mile of areas considered important habitat for critical or endangered species like the large yellow ladies slipper, Peregrine falcon, Swainson’s hawk, Wasatch daisy, Wasatch fitweed, the western toad and the Mill Creek mountain snail.

Salt Lake residents have the opportunity over the next few months to shape the future of this beautiful 150-acre plot of open space bordering the city streets and grass-grown hills. Where there were once only a handful of graves on a sagebrush hillside there now lay thousands under the cool shade of blue spruce, Norway maples, Utah juniper, birch, hawthorn—visited by mule deer does with their fawn and little red foxes and the occasional moose. What do we wish to remain in another 150 years?

The next public open house to discuss concepts and ideas will be held on November 16 at the Salt Lake City Main Library, downstairs in conference rooms A, B, and C, 4:30-7:30pm. ◆ Katherine Pioli is CATALYST’s associate editor.

t's easy to imagine how Herk Harvey conceived of Carnival of Souls, his 1962 cult classic movie, as he drove past the old Saltair a year or two earlier. At the end of the pier reaching out into Great Salt Lake, the abandoned amusement park and dance hall, which burned down three years after filming, must have looked like a lost soul herself. What better place for a carnival of souls? Did Harvey, an educational film producer from Lawrence, Kansas, with no past, or future, in low-budget horror movies, venture out past the dilapidated chain link fence and explore what was once the “largest dance floor in the world”?

The story starts in Kansas, with a joy ride, a car

chase and a fatal crash into a muddy river. The authorities drag the river with no results; passengers Mary Henry and her two friends are presumed dead. Then Mary emerges from the water, apparently alive and well (though muddy and looking rather stunned). Mary decides to proceed with plans to take a job as a church organist in Utah.

She drives across the Utah state line and nears Saltair in the night to the soundtrack of eerie organ music. A ghostly man, played by Herk Harvey himself, appears in the road and at her car window as she drives along the lake. Yes, she’s pretty freaked out.

Mary wanders around our city, haunted by the phantom man. She is also suffering bouts of invisi-

bility, which is equally unnerving. We see her by Temple Square; in the Union train station; walking down Second South, and all over Washington Square.

She is obsessed with Saltair, and returns a few times. The last time—well, we don’t want to spoil it for you. Let’s just say the highlight of the film is seeing the grand Saltair ballroom, once the grandest in the land, in its doomed glory.

The film’s final scene situates us back in Kansas as the car is pulled from the river. All three women occupants, Mary included, are dead. —JdJ Photographer Stan Clawson, Eric Cadora and CATALYST staffer Sophie Silverstone restaged several of the scenes from the movie at their original locations.

WILD IN THE CITY

Rivers revisited Seven Canyons Trust aims to bring daylight to Salt Lake City’s seven buried streams

BY JANE LYON

I

n the spring of 2014, Professor Stephen Goldsmith, former Salt Lake City Planning Director, Artspace co-founder and director of the Center For the Living

City, welcomed into his University of Utah classroom the fresh minds of that semester’s Urban Ecology and Planning Workshop. On the first day, he laid out this issue for

the students: what to do about all the underground creeks in Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake’s residents have had a longstanding conflicted relationship with the seven creeks that

When Mormon pioneers traversed Emigration

wall of mountains and watered by seven blue veins of life. Those creeks are all tributaries of the artery now known as the Jordan River whose rich plains and creek beds provided for our earliest pio-

neers the essentials for life in this high and hostile desert.

But as more settlers arrived and the land became more urbanized, people had to mitigate the annual flooding that threatened what had become a downtown area.

Burying the creeks under cement and funneling them through pipes became a social imperative. In 1914, a Salt Lake Telegram article praised the burial of City Creek as it protected the water supply and prevented accidental drowning.

By the 1980s, 21 miles of our valley’s creeks were buried.

If you were around in May of 1983, you certainly remember “Deluge Sunday,” as The Deseret News called it, when 1,000 homes were flooded and 200 to 400 people were forced to evacuate. The overflow of snowmelt first showed itself at the mouth of Emigration Canyon. Visible flooding appeared along 1300 South where the Emigration, Parleys and Red Butte creeks converge underground. But they were not staying underground. Mayor Ted Wilson called for the floods to be contained and community members began sand bagging the west side of State Street along 1300 South to protect downtown. This would be the last time our city saw the Jordan River tributaries above ground. However, this would also trigger the first time that citizens began to question the efficacy of burying Millcreek in its current trough

What we are learning is that engaging in restoration of natural open spaces is good news for the land owners around that area. So, what if we could use this kind of thinking in the less affluent neighborhoods of Salt Lake City?

our natural creeks. A group of people began discussing the feasibility of bringing up the creeks, now called “daylighting.”

The term was coined in Berkeley, California in 1986 and since then, Berkeley has been a champion in daylighting waterways. Hydrologically speaking, it is always better for waterways to be above ground as a part of the natural biome.

City Creek, which not more than two decades ago flowed under a surface parking lot owned by the LDS Church, is the first and only successful daylighting project in Salt Lake today. It is a beautiful place that, were it left undone, would still be suffocating under a square of hot asphalt. Hidden Hollow, a restoration project in Sugar House, has a similar happy story. In 1990, a couple of elementary students discovered a littered, longneglected stream channel near their school. They tackled the project of cleanup and restoration, organizing themselves as the KOPE

Kids (Kids Organize to Protect the Environment) in the process. They worked so fervently that Utah Open Lands created a conservation easement to protect the area in perpetuity. Some believe this open space is in part responsible for the flourishing of businesses and restaurants in Sugar House.

Hidden Hollow

certain Stephen Goldsmith quote always echoes through the environmental students’ conversations at the University: “Make the invisible visible.”

Throughout the semester of Professor Goldsmith’s 2014 Ecological Planning class, the students took his question and researched, photographed and made Google Earth flyovers to track the creeks on an aerial scale, all with the goal to create a future vision of an above-ground water system.

As the semester wound down, five students stuck around to refine the idea and New York native Brian Tonetti and Salt Lake native Liz Jackson created what they call the Seven Canyons Trust: 100 Years of Daylighting. Their vision is, through grants and partnerships, to acquire the land holding the rest of Salt Lake’s original creek beds and restore beneficial ecology into our neighborhoods.

After receiving an Outstanding Achievement award for their plan from the Utah America Planning Association, Tonetti and Jackson began pursuing 501c3 status.

Thanks to financial help from their parents, the project finally re-

IN THE HERB GARDEN

21

Over-wintering delicious herbs Got a window that gets six hours of sun a day?

You can grow herbs indoors!

W

BY MERRY LYCETT HARRISON

ith fall upon us, it is a bit disheartening to look out at the abundant fresh herb supply and imagine it covered in a quiet blanket of snow. But take heart, while making your gardening to-do lists for autumn, consider herbs that may successfully overwinter indoors.

Also, go shopping! In mid- to late fall, nurseries often mark down any leftover summer herbs to such a significant discount that even if they don’t survive, you are not out a lot of money. Also, you might find some obscure perennial ones to add, like bay or lemon verbena or an annual such as epazote that you may have been curious about. Study up on their growth habits and pland them in a garden spot or pot where they will be happy. Most herbs require at least six hours of direct sun a day.

I did this with rosemary, which is hard to winter over in Utah even when you get the Arp variety, the one that promises the best possibility of success. I got permission from my landlord to plant herbs outside my office building. At a nursery in early October I found several straggley looking rosemary, lavender, sage, rue and oregano plants that cost me about $1-2 each. I had to hunt for them, finding them under tables and among spent tomato plants.

I planted them in the very poor soil, taking great care to place the rosemary plants in the sunniest, hottest places under an overhanging eve for protection from heavy snow. That was about 10 years ago, and the area has now become a beautiful demonstration garden for my herb classes. The rosemary is so huge and abundant I have to whack it back, and all the random sages I purchased have spread. They are variegated, adding color and interest. Everloyal lavender blooms right on time for fra-

grance and the bees. Many passersby stop to admire the garden and ask about the huge rosemarys.

I personally have never had success overwintering rosemary indoors. I think part of the problem is that perennial herbs have a dor-

The Mediterranean herbs rosemary, lavender and thyme don’t like too much water—it makes their stems rot. Pot in sandy soil and let them dry out between waterings.

mant period, and when we bring them indoors, we treat them like it’s summer with too much water and fertilizer. Indoor heat has hampered my efforts, too; adding humidity helps. A student once told me she had great success with rosemary by keeping it in a greenhouse that never went below 40 degrees.

Also, none of the Mediterranean herbs— rosemary, lavender and thyme—like too much water; it makes their stems rot. Pot in sandy soil and let them dry out between waterings.

Parsley, oregano, chives and thyme make a nice quartet of herbs in pots in a sunny window during winter. You could start your oregano from a cutting from your already existing plant and rooting it in a glass of water. Chives are

perennial so just dig up a small patch from your garden and pot it.

Chives produce well in early spring and fall so there may be a period where you cut them back (enjoy those tasty cuttings) but they will surely spring forth soon, given enough care and sun.

For thyme, start with a new plant from a nursery if you can find it. Lemon thyme smells especially refreshing on a dark winter day.

Parsley has a life cycle of two years. The first year’s growth gives us the fresh, green leaves we use so either dig up and pot the plant you bought this year or buy a new one. Starting it from seed takes a lot of time.

Greta informs me that pineapple sage grows well indoors and, in addition to the fragrant leaves, produces the most beautiful scarlet flowers. She has also had success with the Vietnamese medicinal hoan ngoc. Use leaves in green drinks.

Some garden herbs are not salvageable.

Basil is prone to wilt and white flies and not worth the bother. Also annuals that grow from seed do not need to be saved. Perennials can be left in the ground. To harvest for use, dig roots you need like horseradish and echinacea (in its third year). For warm-weather herbs like passionflower or lemon grass, pot them up, cut them back and bring them inside to nurse them along as best you can until they can safely be placed outside once again. Just for the fun of it, investigate scented geraniums because all geraniums seem to do well indoors in winter. ◆ Merry Lycett Harrison is a clinical herbalist, teacher, author and wild guide and a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild.

HEALTH & POLITICS

DEA moves to ban herbal supplement kratom Scientists, citizens and lawmakers object to Schedule 1 classification for this Asian pain-killer

BY ALICE TOLER

Editor’s note: For more background, see “The Kratom Chronicles” by Alice Toler in the May 2016 edition of CATALYST.

O

n August 31, the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) announced its intention to place the two main alkaloids of the popular painkilling and antianxiety herb kratom into its Schedule I classification—for substances which, according to the US Controlled Substances Act, have a high potential for abuse, no medical uses, and cannot be used safely even with close medical supervision. Schedule 1 substances include heroin, bath salts, LSD, MDMA, cannabis, and peyote. This “emergency scheduling” gave only a month’s notice, and furthermore denied any option for public comment. This disappointing and alarming move would end all legal trade in kratom inside the United States, and hamstring all further research upon it.

We are in the middle of a giant prescription and illicit opiate epidemic. In 2014 alone, 18,893 people died from pharmaceutical opioid overdose, and a further 10,574 died from heroin overdose. Kratom, the nonprocessed leaf of a Southeast Asian jungle tree, is being used by tens of thousands of people as an alternative to these dangerous opiates, both to control chronic pain and to treat opiate addiction.

Opiates kill by depressing respiration—take too much Fentanyl, like the musician Prince did just last March, and your body will forget to breathe. The effects of kratom are much milder, and though the alkaloids retain the painkilling effects of other mu-opioid agonists, they do not depress respiration the same way that poppy-derived opiates do, making kratom a far safer alternative. Additionally, kratom in large amounts causes extreme nausea—you will vomit before you can overdose.

It is so hard to overdose on kratom that there aren’t even any meaningful statistics about it. “Kratom-related deaths” invariably involve other more dangerous drugs as well, or previously existing dangerous health conditions. Blaming kratom in these cases is like blaming the cup of coffee someone had for his

fatal heart attack, while ignoring his sclerotic arteries and the three lines of cocaine he did at lunchtime.

Kratom also treats a wide variety of other medical conditions. A quick survey of users selfreported improvements to ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, anhedonia, stress and OCD among the psychiatric diagnoses, and one was using it to control side effects from an SSRI antidepressant. Others were successfully treating drug and alcohol addiction. Among the chronic pain conditions, users were obtaining relief from rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, severe nerve damage, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue

Blaming kratom in these cases is like blaming the cup of coffee someone had for his fatal heart attack, while ignoring his sclerotic arteries and the three lines of cocaine he did at lunchtime. syndrome, and interstitial cystitis. One person was using kratom to help alleviate the symptoms of type-1 diabetes. Several people reported almost miraculous improvements in ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and IBS— which makes sense, because in kratom’s native Southeast Asian cultures, people have been using it to treat diarrhea for hundreds of years.

Yet the research on kratom is still distressingly thin on the ground. Some of the alkaloids contained in kratom have been isolated and patented, but they aren’t as effective as the whole leaf for treating medical conditions—

and we don’t know why. It makes absolutely zero sense for the DEA to ban such a promising botanical. Doing so will endanger the public.

It will needlessly criminalize many chronic illness sufferers, and drive others back to dangerous prescription opiate painkillers, alcohol or street drugs.

Last month, a We The People petition quickly gathered enough signatures to require a response from the White House regarding the ban. A march on D.C. was attended by hundreds, even though there was hardly any time to organize or give notice. The DEA has been quoted by NPR as saying they are “surprised” at the pushback they are getting.

Kratom advocates have also been calling and writing to Karen DeSalvo, Department of Health and Human Services assistant secretary, asking her to use her authority to delay the scheduling. One proponent of medical kratom compiled a point-by-point rebuttal to the DEA’s cited reasons for the ban; it is too long to print here, but we have made it available online at [link].

It seems that if there’s one thing that Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians can agree on in this horrifically contentious election season, it’s that the proposed scheduling of kratom is a poor move by the DEA. On Monday, September 19, members of the kratom community were urged to call their local congressional office and ask their member of Congress to sign the Pocan/Salmon “Dear Colleague” letter, sponsored by Mark Pocan (D) of Wisconsin and Matt Salmon (R) of Arizona. The letter asks the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the assistant director of the DEA to delay a final decision on the placement of kratom into Schedule I, to provide ample time for public comment on the decision, and to resolve any inconsistencies with other federal agencies regarding the use of kratom. (At presstime, 51 lawmakers had signed the letter, none yet from Utah.)

The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank founded by billionaire Charles Koch, has published an article condemning the move and describing the whole concept of a “Schedule I drug” as incoherent and unhelpful. Solvent inhalants such as toluene, the article notes, fit the three DEA criteria for Schedule I, but because they are essential industrial chemicals, they will never be scheduled. Further, drugs such as psilocybin do not fit the first criterion because they are difficult to abuse because of tolerance response, and yet they are in the schedule. As tens of thousands of users will testify, kratom clearly possesses medical use. The Army veteran and the arthritic grandma who drink kratom tea to be able to function at their jobs bridle at being labeled “drug abusers,” and compared to opiate alternatives, kratom’s safety profile is excellent.

The DEA contests this last point, citing 660 calls to Poison Control for kratom over a five year period. However, David Kroll writing for Forbes compares that statistic to 6,843 reports of young children ingesting single-load laundry pods in the first seven months of 2016 alone. There are 3 million calls to Poison Control annually, of which about 3,700 are for caffeine overdose. In the US, more than 88,000 alcohol-related annual deaths include 2,200 deaths due to alcohol poisoning. From 2001 to 2014 there was a 3.4-fold increase in the total number of overdose deaths due to prescription benzodiazepine anti-anxiety drugs. Kratom is also used by people as a replacement for benzodiazepines and again, while this use requires more research, it currently appears to be a far safer alternative. It is almost impossible to pursue legal research into Schedule I drugs.

Kratom, with its potential to save so many lives, should not be hobbled in this manner.

The Center for Regulatory Effectiveness (CRE), a watchdog organization founded by former career officials at the White House Office of Management and Budget, has issued a letter to the DEA requesting an extension to

It makes absolutely zero sense for the DEA to ban such a promising botanical. Doing so will endanger the public.

It will needlessly criminalize many chronic illness sufferers, and drive others back to dangerous prescription opiate painkillers, alcohol or street drugs. the effective date for placing kratom into Schedule I until July 1, 2017, to allow for public comment, to submit the proposed listing to the OMB for review, to inform the US-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (because Canada has decided to regulate rather than ban kratom), and to conduct an interagency peer review of the DEA’s science behind the proposed Schedule I listing.

Additionally, the CRE letter notes that outlawing kratom in the US undermines the White House’s Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime, by opening a potentially enormous new arena for financially lucrative smuggling. At a historical moment when we as a nation are coming to realize the futility of marijuana prohibition, and to understand the colossal harm done to society by outlawing rather than regulating an herb widely used by people who simply want to control pain and anxiety and to get on with their lives, do we really need to be handing international crime cartels another opportunity to spread violence and human anguish? Do we really need to be putting law-abiding chronic pain and anxiety sufferers in a corner, giving them the choice of enduring unrelieved misery, reverting to meds that don’t work for them, or becoming criminals?

At the time of this writing, we are waiting to see what effect all of this resistance to scheduling kratom may have. Kratom, like marijuana, is not completely unproblematic. Edible Mary Jane, as Maureen Dowd of the New York Times found out to her distress in 2014, can provoke intense paranoia and make you convinced you’re dying. Regular kratom use does create dependency, and in some people the withdrawals can be very unpleasant. But regular coffee use does the same thing, and I can personally attest to the agony of the cold turkey “coffee flu.” Scientific evidence of the DEA’s claim that kratom represents a clear and immediate threat to public health is simply completely lacking. ◆ Alice Toler is CATALYST Magazine’s award-winning staff writer.

SOUTHERN UTAH

In ecstasy we have come A poet-teacher and his students visit the Bears Ears

BY JOEL LONG

T

his April, I joined a group of my students from Salt Lake City’s Rowland Hall Upper School on a camping trip to the proposed Bears Ears National Monument, in the area that is now Natural Bridges National Monument, a small, preserved gem in the midst of the larger treasure. After a rainy first night, we woke early and hiked Cedar Mesa.

Our guide, Dave Pacheco, from the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, taught us the principles of backcountry travel: preparing; respecting the land with its plants, animals, geology; preserving remnants of ancient cultures, cliff dwellings and pottery shards. We stepped carefully over the mesa, avoiding cryptobiotic soil, the living crust that keeps much of this place alive, in spring, sprouting milkvetch flowers like purple pea blossoms and yellow wallflowers

into red rock cliffs, jagged cottonwoods groaned with new green shoots, and dark green piñon pines billowed from sandstone above. Rounding a bend, we confronted a massive hoodoo, a 50-foot monument with the head of a camel; we were so mesmerized that we did not notice ruins of an ancient home tucked in the fold of the cliffs to the east. Along lips of slickrock, the students and I followed our guide to the overhang, the ruins, four rounded rooms like turrets with three windows left in masonry. Close, in the mortar that holds stones in place, we saw fingerprints of builders still clinging to the mud, a millennia away. We sat beneath the overhang in front of these ancient rooms; in cool shadow, we drank water. In this place these people lived; they sat, ate meals, drank water from clay bowls, surveyed this

the diminishing spiral at the horizon.

He knows these birds as they fluttered in corn pollen inside the sphere he made from the fingers of his two hands. Jonah told us of this land around us, that it is sacred to his ancestors, to him, that it is his home, the place his people emerged, where they disappeared like the hummingbird. Now he believes that they can return to this sacred stretch of land. He thanked us when he left; he hugged each student in firelight, grateful, but we were the ones touched. We felt the gift he gave in the stories of the Navahos, stories of this land that might return to them, a form of healing.

In the mortar that holds stones in place, we saw fingerprints of builders still clinging to the mud, a millennia away.

blooming against rich, orange and black crust.

We wound our way down, into Road Canyon, sandstone pinnacles, boulders, and oxidepainted walls rising around us into growing thunderheads.

After weaving through canyon undulations, over rain pools of sky and sun, we stepped up to a massive fallen rock turned upward with a dark mineral seep and saw petroglyphs of ancients. A spiral pecked from the dark stone 800 years ago emerged from nothing toward the expanding present. Above, two figures chiseled from the edge of the rock dance the motion of the canyon, legs in curved unison, hands skyward, heads back in ecstasy we have come to understand. These figures speak quiet eloquence most often to no one but the past, but this day, we fortunate travelers observed with wonder.

The landscape here is enough to move the body toward spirit. Crows carved silhouettes

canyon, in spring, in winter, in the middle of a night spilling stars and moonlight.

When we began to leave the canyon, we knew we wanted to stay. Instead we drove east, spent the afternoon exploring more. The ruins in Mule Canyon struck our being with awe, and the canyons grew deep in juniper, red rock, slow water. All the students arrived at this zone, the sublime, the immensity of the world that adds majesty to our brief being. We walked the path through incomprehensible beauty, our moment in this vast space, the mystery, stone corridors, secret springs, hidden canyons disappearing to the edge of what we can see, all of it lifting a map of the sky.

That evening, in twilight, in the light of the crescent moon and earthshine, we listened to Jonah Yellowman from the Navahos. He is a medicine man; he has caught three hummingbirds in his hands in his lifetime and let them go, following with his eyes and heart

The students with whom I shared this experience are younger than my own children. One day, they will have children of their own. I will have grandchildren. I want these new generations to have the chance to experience what we experienced in the Bears Ears region. In our days there, every step deepened our humanity, sparked in us the sublime that gave indelible grace to our lives.

Anyone can see the paramount importance of preserving this rich gift, this natural and historic heritage for the coming generations for the intrinsic, immeasurable, sacred value of the land itself and the artifacts of ancient cultures that lived there. I look forward to the day when the Bears Ears becomes our next National Monument. ◆ Joel Long teaches English at Rowland Hall-St. Marks.

HEALTHNOTES

How to stay healthy this autumn

I

s it just me or are the transition seasons easier for instilling new and releasing old habits? It is of essence this month to consciously take the season change in stride and create new routines for better health.

Let’s hop on the self-care bandwagon early, before symptoms of the cold/flu season rear their awful mucus-brimming heads. Grab a buddy, because self-care can also be done as a community!

[mantra for the month] “You can make your fullest contribution to

life only when you are healthy and health alone enables you to enjoy your life to the fullest in return.” – Robert Svoboda, first Western-born Ayurvedic physician

[self-care]

Sleep! Your lifestyle affects your immunity.

Enough rest and sleep is essential, most easily done by maintaining a regular bedtime and wake-up time.

Moves before booze. Stay conscious of your alcohol intake. I know it’s pumpkin beer season, but lowering your intake of inflammatory foods like sugar and processed grains (in other words, beer) is important.

Instead of drinking alcohol, keep stress levels in check with exercise. All year I look forward to fleece-clad fall runs and bike rides. If you must, make the drink the reward after the climb, the ride, the run, or whatever thing you’re doing to get moving (I have acquired this wisdom through trial and error). Calm down and de-stress with some yin oriented exercise like yoga, qigong and meditation, which feel so right in the quieting months of autumn.

Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Cold and flu virus spreads on surfaces and through the air. Tea tree oil is my pick for a natural multipurpose antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, not to mention it smells like fresh heaven.

Herbs. Next time you’re making soup, put in the Chinese herb astragalus (astragalus membranaceous can be found at Southeast Market, 422 Harvey Milk Blvd, aka 9th South) along with maitake and shiitake mushrooms. Simmer for an hour, then remove woody astragalus root and shiitake stems. Astragalus is a proven powerful adaptogen, meaning that it helps protect the body against physical, emotional and mental stress.

Vegetables, vitamins and minerals. Get Zinc into your diet naturally by eating more spinach, beef, pumpkin seeds, cashews, cocoa, and beans. Ideally, we would get all of our vitamins and minerals from vegetables, but diminished soil quality has left us needing more. Garlic, especially raw, can help your immune system punch through a cold. If you find yourself suffering from waning sunlight, supplementing with Vitamin D3, can be beneficial to your immune system (1000-2000IU/day).

Flu shot or not? Dr. Todd Mangum writes in detail on the issue: [http://bit.ly/2cJyMZG] Whether you decide to get one or not, remember: Prevention is key.

[cleanse: get ready to neti] Neti pot, or nasal irrigation, is something

Eastern and Western medicine agree on for its

cleansing purposes of the sinuses and nasal passages. It’s traditionally done with a small ceramic or metal tea pot, with the spout inserted into the nostril and the head tilted out and to the side so that the water poured into the top nostril flows out of the bottom nostril. Make sure you do it over a sink! Timothy Lewis, of Wasatch Ayurveda in Yoga Upstairs, is enthusiastic about neti-ing. He says, “You should do it everyday…even twice a day!”

Yoga instructor April Kirkhart tells me the practice balances the ida and pingala, which are similar to the yin and yang. “Balancing the energy in the body can be correlated with balancing the two hemispheres of the brain. Notice which side tends to be more stuffed up.”

Kirkhart recommends adding a teaspoon of sea salt to a pint of boiled water (distilled or filtered, cooled to lukewarm—don’t skip this step!) and, using your neti pot, slowly pour one cup of the mixture into one nostril, then the remaining cup into the other. This can be a bit uncomfortable to downright painful at first, similar to accidentally snorting water while swimming.

Mucus flow is the purpose, so embrace any pain and appreciate the flow! ◆ CATALYST welcomes Rachel Silverstone as our new HealthNotes columnist. Her most recent story was “A Doctor With the Time to Listen: A Different Approach to Wellness Through Naturopathy” (CATALYST, August 2016).

[safety: STD testing] The Student Health Center at the Univer-

sity of Utah is a boon to any student. At a reduced cost (30-50% less than a traditional healthcare provider) students may receive STD/HIV tests, TB tests, basic immunizations and international vaccines. Each fall and spring semester, the Health Center goes mobile, setting up free sex-health clinics around campus. Free onsite prevention and risk education are also offered, along with free HIV and chlamydia/gonorrhea tests.

The Student Health Center is by appointment only, but mobile clinics welcome walk-ins (Fall clinic TBD).555 Foothill Dr. Level 1. 801-581-6431. STUDENTHEALTH.UTAH.EDU—ZS

Guerrilla poster artist Robbie Conal’s latest work comes to SLC

O

n September 23 a group calling themselves Utah Art Attack postered downtown, 9th & 9th and Sugar House with images supplied by the godfather of political guerrilla poster art, Robbie Conal. This work features two separate images of Donald Trump in Conal’s signature grotesque portrait style.

Conal’s work has been seen in almost every major city in the US over the last 25 years, but the recent action marks the first time his work has appeared in Utah, according to spokesman Doug Prishpreed, Jr., who added, “It’s about damn time.”

Many of the aggressively unsettling caricatures were quickly defaced or removed, says Prishpreed, though some remain hanging and have even been enhanced. In all, 35 were distributed in Salt Lake, with more rumored to be appearing in the Provo area.

More, he says, are on their way.

Conal’s work is highly collectible and appears in museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Prishpreed asks that if you appreciate the poster, please photograph it and share the photo, but leave the poster hanging for others to appreciate.

uring the Mexican celebration of Day of the Dead, families gather to celebrate their loved ones who have died. They cook favorite foods, presenting them on an oferanda, or altar. The food is to nourish the souls who have journeyed back to Earth, starting with the angelitos, the souls of the children, on November 1. The souls of departed adults make their journey on November 2. Families gather with their communities to celebrate death.

Skulls are used throughout Day of the Dead rituals. Sugar skulls are placed on the oferandas as a treat for weary souls. The living participants wear makeup or masks that have become ubiquitous across the globe in connection with the holiday. Some dress to mock death, others to embrace it. Beautiful women make themselves up to look like skulls of lace, with sunken black eyes traced by curlicues and delicate flourishes. Women’s heads will be topped in fine, wide brimmed hats or crowns of flowers, men will wear top hats and carry canes. They are embodying the Calavera Catrina, The Dapper Skeleton, and gathering together to celebrate the dead.

The origin of skulls in Day of the Dead celebration date back to ancient Aztec festival which honored the goddess Michtecacihuatl or Lady of the Dead, Queen of Mictlan (the underworld). The skull has stayed the icon for honoring death in Mexico despite colonial rule.

The Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) is

GARDEN LIKE A BOSS

Compost like a boss

Getting the best carbon/nitrogen ratio is an autumn project

I

love composting. Growing, harvesting and eating the bounty of my garden is honestly a secondary benefit of my primary goal; building luscious, thick, rich loamy soil. It’s literally a slow motion manifestation of earth magic. Transforming kitchen scraps, yard waste, and even junk mail into a nutrient dense material teeming with microbes makes me feel like a humus Houdini.

When you make your own compost, you have the ability to amend your soil and provide lasting fertility without purchasing outside inputs. Lugging heavy sacks of materials home from the garden center can be a thing of the past. I have yet to find a commercial bagged compost that looks as good under the microscope as even a poorly managed back yard pile.

Often, however, most gardeners don’t have as much as much compost as they need, especially in the spring. This is because most of us compost with a static compost pile. In a static compost pile, materials are added slowly, generally on a daily basis. The pile slowly grows and breaks down; maybe it gets turned,

BY JAMES LOOMIS

clean out the coop. When we have enough materials to build a compost heap all at once, we can now get into an active compost scenario.

In an active compost strategy, piles heat up quickly, and sustain a high enough temperature to sterilize weed seeds, eliminate diseaseand deter rodents and other pests. Rather than months, we can have finished compost in weeks. In fact, I can turn watermelon rinds, coffee grounds, cardboard, kitchen scraps and any other compostable materials into finished compost in as little as 15 days! Not only can it be done, it’s the standard. In fact, to make compost to USDA Organic standards, the pile must maintain a temperature of 131 degrees for 15 days, being turned at least five times, and the process is complete. The piles can then be left to age, a process which continues to increase the quality of the material.

Building an active compost is simple, and by following a few basic rules you’ll be well positioned with a plethora of compost for spring. This technique is for building a compost pile all at once, and it is important that once it is built, new materials are not added to the pile. maybe it doesn’t. The pile is occasionally watered, often forgotten. This is the simplest, but far and away the least effective way of composting. By slowly adding material over time, it often becomes difficult to discern when the compost is “finished.” It often doesn't heat up enough, because there is insufficient thermal mass for thermophyllic bacteria to generate the heat to sterilize weed seeds and pathogens. It can take months, or even a year or more if the pile is left dry, to fully compost. However, since most of us only generate a small amount of kitchen scraps every day, this is the option we are left with.

But if we leverage the season, this time of year we have an abundance of compostable materials at our dirty little fingertips! Fall is the absolute best time to build a pile, as the sheer volume of materials almost become a liability, with hefty piles of yard waste accumulating when we tidy the yard before winter. Frostkilled tomatoes and summer crops pulled from garden beds accumulate, and if you have chickens I’m willing to wager you’re long overdue to

The active compost process Size matters. A pile must be at least a 4’ x 4’ x 4’ mass to generate and retain sufficient heat.

This size is an ideal, and piles shouldn’t be made much larger, as going too big will compress the pile, limiting oxygen availability.

Moisture matters. The materials in the pile should have the moisture of a wrung out sponge. Moisture should be added as the pile is built, and materials like straw, hay or wood chips should be soaked overnight to absorb adequate moisture. If a pile is too dry, microbial activity is halted (remember dehydration of fruits, meats, and vegetables is a useful preservation method). If the pile is too wet, it will go anaerobic, as the water inhibits proper oxygenation.

Aeration matters. Our good composting microbes are all aerobic, meaning they thrive in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen is added to the pile every time we turn it, resulting in an increase in temperature, similar to blowing on the coals in a fire.

Recipe matters. To build a proper pile, we must pay attention to our carbon to nitrogen ratio, or C:N. C materials, or “browns,” are plant materials that have had all of the nitrogen volatilized out of them; think cardboard, fallen leaves, wood chips, etc. If you seal it in a baggy and come back a week later and it smells fine, it’s a carbon. N materials still have the nitrogen; think kitchen waste, coffee grounds, fresh cut grass. If you seal it in a baggie and come back a few days later and it’s nasty, it’s an N. For general purposes, we aim for a C:N ration of 30:1.

C:N charts are simple to find with a quick Google search. This requires some simple averaging math, so ask your local 6th grader if you’re stumped on this one.

I can turn watermelon rinds, coffee grounds, cardboard, kitchen scraps and any other compostable materials into finished compost in as little as 15 days!

The key to this process is the unit of measure. One trick is to use a five gallon bucket and measure the volumes of the materials, not the weight. For example, five five-gallon buckets of a 40:1 material combined with five five-gallon buckets of a 20:1 material would result in our ideal 30:1 ratio. A 4’ x 4’ x 4’ pile requires approximately 110 five gallon buckets worth of measured materials. Mix all ingredients thoroughly as you build the pile.

Temperature matters. We want to maintain a minimum of 131F, and a maximum of 160F. Temperatures lower than 131 will not sterilize weed seeds and pathogens; higher than 160, we begin to lose nutrients to volatilization. To monitor your piles’ temperature use a compost thermometer designed to probe into the center of the pile. With the proper C:N ratio, our pile will heat to 131 degrees within 36 hours, and often in as few as eight hours. If it doesn't get that hot within 48 hours, then there are not enough N materials in the pile, and you’ll need to add more and remix your pile. Monitor the pile daily, and once the temperature drops below 131, turn the pile. This will result in the pile heating up again. Simply keep monitoring the temperature and turn it every time it drops below that 131 threshold. Once the pile stops heating up, it can be left to age, and voila! You have finished compost, fast. ◆ James Loomis is the Green Team farm manager for Wasatch Community Gardens.

Flip sync battle

Should you always turn the lights out when leaving a room?

W

e have fluorescent lights in our garage that we turn on to put our boots on for our morning walk.

I was always taught to turn lights off when I leave a room, but my husband says that it takes more energy to turn on the lights again when we get back than leaving them on for an hour while we’re gone. Is there some formula for how

BY UMBRA FISK, GRIST It turns out our parents, and not your husband, have the right idea about turning off lightbulbs. Your husband’s belief that flipping the lights off and on wastes energy is a common myth. But there’s a grain of truth behind it when we’re talking about fluorescent bulbs.

Let’s shine a little light on the details, shall we?

Compact fluorescents, those power-sipping bulbs that fin a l l y

pushed out inefficient incandescent bulbs back in 2012, actually do require a small surge of electricity to light up. But that surge lasts only 1/120th of a second, using the same amount of energy as just a few seconds of illumination — in other words, the startup energy is so tiny as to not really matter. This is true not just of newer, twisty CFLs but also of oldschool fluorescent tubes, so the verdict is t h e

long the lights can be on before it exceeds the energy consumption of turning them off and then on again?

Roberta B. Rangely, Colorado

Dearest Roberta, Our parents would have gotten along swimmingly. “Turn off the lights when you leave the room!” was one of my mom and dad’s favorite admonitions, right up there with “Close the door — you weren’t born in a barn” and “Close the fridge — you weren’t born in an industrial kitchen.” (I was born in an off-the-grid, passive-solar doula’s cabin, which primes one for energy efficiency right from the get-go.)

Experts at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say go dark if you’ll be out of the room for five minutes. Also, make your next lights LEDs, which last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

same no matter which kind you have in your garage, Roberta.

But here’s something else to consider: Wantonly toggling fluorescent bulbs on and off (on/off cycling, if you want to get technical) shortens their lifespan. Why? Every time you flip the switch, the mercury within the bulb degrades its electrodes a bit. Just like anything else, bulbs a) have an environmental impact from production and b) cost money, so it’s wise to keep them in operation as long as possible. Technically, leaving them ablaze all the time would give you the most hours of light per bulb.

But you’d also have to replace them much more frequently.

So when to leave ‘em lit and when to power down? No formulas necessary. The Department of Energy recommends turning off the lights if you’ll be gone for at least 15 minutes, and experts at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say go dark if you’ll be out of the room for 5 minutes. Either way, it’s safe to say your hour-long morning constitutional warrants turning off the garage lights. Our parents would be so proud.

Of course, Roberta, you would do even better by replacing your fluorescents with the one bulb to rule them all: LEDs. Not only do these babies use the least power of the lighting options by far, but they also have no problem with on/off cycling — so you can flick the switch off whenever you leave the room without worrying about break-even points. They cost a bit more than CFLs up front, but they’re so long-lasting (we’re talking 25 times longer than the old incandescent bulbs), they’ll make up for that over years of peaceful morning strolls. Plus, you’ll never have to argue with your hubby about lightbulbs again, and surely that’s worth something, too.

METAPHORS FOR THE MONTH

Yes, it is going to cost money, time and energy.

But after the intensity of September it might seem like the only logical choice.

What is it to be in a state of high awareness?

You can tell by a person’s actions. One who is stable in a heightened state of clarity tends to be alert, present, joyful, centered, loving, flowing, at peace and not seeking attention from external sources to feel safe and validated.

Let go of attachments to outcomes and labels of good or bad. Accept what is and welcome the new things being initiated in your life. Take responsibility for the illusions you have been carrying and just allow this moment to be one of forgiveness and peace. Remember, the core of enlightenment is ease. By allowing ease into a dominant position in your life, you find your own cool, calm and centered self.

From that place there is nothing you need to seek out because you are already home.

Nature has so many secrets to share with you now. External growth is slowing down but internal growth has the potential to speed up.

Growth is inherently dangerous—there is always risk and sacrifice. This month, a million mistakes are possible but facing those insecurities is the only way to grow. You must be willing to fail, and to face the uncertainty of the unknown.

That is why the totem of the Mouse is so in-

Intuitive patterns for October 2016

BY SUZANNE WAGNER teresting this month. A mouse needs to feel everything in order to know it. This is a strength and a weakness. Getting too close to something can make you anxious and it creates a type of mental fretting. Needing to have everything perfect is a form of fear in being on Earth, of doing it right, and of not feeling the flow of energy that is life all around you. Being a nitpicker is not a positive trait.

Being unable to let things go i s another form of this same energy.

Yes, knowing is wonderful but there is so much out there in the universe that in our present state of human awareness, evolution, brain capacity and form that we are just not presently capable of fully understanding the great mysteries of the universe. The more organized you are, the more afraid you may be of what’s just beyond the safe box you’ve created in your mind and in your world.

This month, nature itself is attempting to break through the mental barriers that block the masterful and subtle consciousness from coming fully into your awareness. Scrutinize your life: Deeply examine whether it is working the way your soul needs and wants, or not.

Are you locked in the dark dream of your

shadow where you exist but are actually asleep? Has your life become a nightmare? If it has, then your inner conflict has broken out of the dream world and into your conscious world as it attempts to get your attention.

Remember, your life is not limited to just what you perceive. A multitude of other things are going on if you are willing to leap out of judgment and into the center that is life. When

Choosing to leap into the flow, not knowing where you are going to end up, is the place where miracles and magic still exist. you resist the natural order and flow and are living on the edge of life, it will be a hard life. But choosing to leap into the flow, not knowing where you are going to end up, is the place where miracles and magic still exist.

And they can happen to you. Listen to the guidance being offered, stay fully present, and stand up for who you are in the most integral of ways and you will discover that peaceful center you seek. ◆ Suzanne Wagner is the author of books and CDs on the tarot and creator of the Wild Women app. She lives in California, but visits Utah frequently.

October 2016

A monthly compendium of random wisdom for the home, garden and natural world

BY DIANE OLSON OCT 1 If you’re still in the mood, there’s plenty to plant now, like shrubs, trees, roses, spring bulbs, lilies, garlic, rhubarb and cover crops.

Don’t fertilize, but do use root starter.

OCT 2 Beware moose on the make.

Rutting moose will charge just about anything, and they can run 35 miles per hour. And their front legs are longer than the back ones, so they can easily jump over obstacles.

OCT 3 The only known population of Pyrrocohoris apterus, or firebugs, outside of Europe is in SLC. Firebugs look like boxelder bugs, but are brighter red, sport two black dots, and can’t fly. If you see one, the Natural History Museum of Utah would like to know: Report sightings at www.inaturalist.org /projects/firebugs-of-utah.

OCT 4 Because they contain varying amounts of water, no two opals (October’s birthstone) look the same. Individual stones also change over time, as the water evaporates and stress cracks form.

OCT 5 Look for Saturn to the left of the waxing Moon tonight.

Saturn was the father of Jupiter in Roman mythology.

OCT 6 John Warnock, co-founder of Adobe Systems and Salt Lake City native, was born on this day in 1940.

OCT 7 Tonight is the Draconids meteor shower. While not a great show, it is a convenient one, as the best viewing time is early evening.

OCT 8 Poison ivy never goes dormant, so stay vigilant.

It usually has three broad, s p o o n -

shaped leaves that turn lovely red in fall, and grows below 6,500 feet in shady areas near water. It’s unfor tunately c o m m o n along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

OCT 9 FIRST Q U A R T E R MOON. Urushiol, the oily allergen found in poison ivy, can remain active on shoes and clothing for six months. Dogs can also carry urushiol on their fur, so bathe or wipe down your buddy (and toss the cloth) after hiking.

OCT 10 Time to blow out and shut off the sprinkler system, drain and store hoses and cover hose bibbs.

OCT 14 A group of squirrels is called a scurry or dray.

OCT 15 Indian summer, a period of warm, s u n n y weather following a cold spell, often occurs around now.

OCT 16 FULL HUNTERS MOON/ SUPERMOON. The moon’s orbit around Earth is changeable; sometimes it’s oval, sometime more round.

So its distance is changeable, too.

Thus supermoons; full or new moons that are closer than usual. This month

neighborhoods, are forming herds.

OCT 18 It’s a good idea to vacuum out the clothes dryer vent at least once a year. Dryer fires are surprisingly common.

OCT 19 Brine shrimp are laying their eggs, called cysts, in the Great Salt Lake. Nearly half of the world’s commercial brine shrimp, which are used to feed farmed fish, come from the GSL. Five million-plus water birds also depend on GSL brine shrimp for food.

OCT 20 Mushrooms are more closely related to humans than to plants.

That’s why fungal infections are so hard to fight without harming ourselves.

OCT 21 The Orionides meteor shower, remnants of Comet Halley, peaks tonight.

OCT 11 This is the earliest recorded first frost date for SLC. When a freeze is predicted, cover tender crops with sheets, tarps, buckets, cardboard or whatever.

OCT 12 I’m seeing lots of American red squirrels around the valley.

This time of year they’re filling their middens with conifer cones to munch during bad weather. Squirrels also eat seeds, nuts, berries, mushrooms, flowers, bark, bugs, eggs, and nestling mice, birds and rabbits.

(Ick.) They gnaw into maple trees, too, to feed on the sap.

OCT 13 American red squirrels vigorously defend their territory, which is usually bequeathed by the mother squirrel.

and the next two have full supermoons.

OCT 17 Juncos and mountain chickadees are moving down to the valley.

California quail are forming coveys.

Mule deer, which, like red squirrels, are increasingly common in valley

OCT 22 LAST QUARTER MOON. It’s time to cut back raspberry canes and vines, and winterize ponds.

OCT 23 Time, too, to check the weather stripping around the doors and windows. Sealing gaps can reduce your energy bill 10-15%.

OCT 24 Rattlesnakes are returning to their hibernaculum, prior to entering brumation, the reptilian version of hibernation. Upwards of 1,000 rattlesnakes may gather in a single hibernacula, which they’ll also share with turtles, lizards, other snake species and even small mammals.

OCT 25 Have trees close to your house? Rain gutter covers are a good idea. Otherwise, you’ll need to clear the gutters after all the leaves fall.

OCT 26 AVERAGE FIRST FROST. If you pot amaryllis, daffodils, hyacinths, paperwhites or tulips now you’ll have flowers in December.

OCT 27 Patrick Fugit, star of Almost Famous (my favorite movie) and nephew of Catalyst cofounder Victoria Fugit, was born on this day in 1982.

OCT 28 It’s uncomfortable for cats to eat or drink from a narrow bowl that pushes against their ultra-sensitive whiskers.

There’s even a name for it: whisker stress.

OCT 29 The first known vegetable lanterns were carved from gourds by the Maori over 700 years ago. Jack-o-lanterns originated in Ireland in the 19th century, and were made from turnips or mangel-wurzel (a type of beet). Irish immigrants, fleeing the Great Famine, brought the tradition to America in the mid 1800s.

OCT 31 Halloween, originally called Samhain (summer’s end), was celebrated by the Celts as the end of the harvest season and the time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest.
