m not sure what to think of last month’s fake news scare, but I do know that 112% of people in over 53 states can’t recognize fake news. I don’t have any sources; everybody just knows this. According to a FOX news statistically supervised poll, five out of four of its viewers believe that the New York Times relies too heavily on facts.

On a continuum, how fake does fake news have to be to be a problem? The news of fake news is not even new news; it has always been a part of our culture. Let’s take a look:

The National Enquirer and The Weekly World News have been around for decades; my grandparents subscribed to both and based most of their political decisions and dinner conversations on them. These publications made standing in line at the grocery store checkout worth it. Who can forget the alien babies that the Clintons adopted or the revelation that Dick Cheney was a robot? I’m still fact-checking the latter allegation.

The Onion is a favorite of most of my liberal friends. We love it because it ruthlessly makes fun of all the people we think are dumber than us which is pretty much 80% of the country.

If our project is to save the land and the people, the real work will have to be done locally. Obviously we could use political help, if we had it. Mostly, we don’t have it. There is even so, a lot that can be done without waiting on the politicians. It seems likely that politics will improve after the people have improved, not before. The “leaders” will have to be led. – Wendell Berry, Our Only World

Brownfields grant for Centro Civico Mexicano Environmental justice and social justice came together when the Centro Civico Mexicano (CCM) on Salt Lake City’s west side received a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Program to clean up toxic waste left behind on their property by historic industrial uses. It’s a problem everywhere that low-income people suffer from disproportionate exposure to environmental pollution.

CCM was formed by Mexican immigrants to Utah in 1939. “Long before the term ‘environmental justice’ surfaced, our community was unable to rent facilities for community events from non-Hispanic owners,” according to the grant. In 1956, the Hispanic community raised money to buy the low-cost formerly industrialized property where the CCM now stands.

Unfortunately, when the Centro wanted to expand the community center and build a senior housing project, the property was found to be contaminated by coal, chemicals and other hazardous materials. People who live in the CCM neighborhood earn only 54% of Utah’s median household income. They could not afford clean-up costs by themselves. The EPA grant will not just improve community health by removing hazardous waste; CCM plans to build a sustainable, transit-oriented project using Enterprise Green Communities standards which “help ensure that people living in affordable housing are healthier, spend less money on utilities, and have more opportunities through their connections to transportation, quality food and health care services.”

about 785,567 acres of public land in Grand and San Juan counties which will help balance conservation and recreation with industrial development associated with oil/gas and potash leasing.

The new plan is an example of citizen activism and stakeholder input working together to achieve better environmental policies.

Back in 2008 during the Bush Administration, an environmentally terrible Moab Resource Management Plan was released that prioritized energy development and expanding off-road vehicle recreation. Environmental groups led by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance filed a lawsuit opposing the plan, and when BLM auctioned oil and gas leases on the boundary of Arches National Park, Tim DeChristopher bid on them, an act of civil disobedience that drew national attention to conflicts between development and conservation.

The Obama administration eventually recognized a need for oil and gas leasing reform, and a BLM news release says that the new Moab plan was needed “to address a leasing system that was close to the breaking point with nearly half of all proposed parcels receiving community protests and a substantial proportion resulting in litigation.”

The landscape-level plan considers cumulative impacts and identifies areas where industrial development is incompatible with other land uses. Interior Secretary Sally Jewel praised community and stakeholder involvement in the new plan and said, “As the first Master Leasing Plan in Utah, the collaborative process is a model for how communities can work together to support thoughtful development while protecting world-class environmental, cultural and recreational resources.”

gas leasing reform initiative, the BLM Price and Richfield field office seeks public comments on a San Rafael Desert Master Leasing Plan to guide decisions related to oil and gas leasing on approximately 525,000 acres of public land in the San Rafael Desert in Emery and Wayne Counties, Utah. This plan will provide a framework for determining which areas are appropriate for responsible oil and gas exploration and development and also provide direction for resolving resource conflicts, protecting important conservation resources, supporting outdoor recreation, and other activities that benefit local communities and other public land visitors.

San Rafael Swell: state park or wilderness?

Should the San Rafael Swell become a Utah State Park? In 2014 the State of Utah proposed a federal land trade to expand Goblin Valley State Park, but that idea fell though. Now the State and Emery County are proposing to form a cooperative management partnership with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) calls the deal an “under-theradar land grab.”

The area in question includes the Crack Canyon Wilderness Study Area with the popular Little Wild Horse Canyon slot canyon hike.

BLM currently manages this part of the Swell as a Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA), but overcrowding has become a serious problem. While a State Park expansion might help control crowds, environmentalists are worried about what kind of recreational development the State and County have in mind. Goblin Valley is one of a few Utah state parks that already consistently makes a profit, and the State and County have indicated that their priorities for the area are increased tourism development including expanded off-road vehicle trails and revenue generated through entry fees and campground fees. Rather than turning the area into a highly developed motorized recreation park, SUWA says the BLM should develop a recreation management plan that would preserve the wild character of the area and protect existing Wilderness Study Areas.

Glen Canyon Dam: 20 more years At the Colorado River Water Users Association meeting in Las Vegas, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell finalized a management plan for the Glen Canyon Dam over the next 20 years. The plan calls for continuing highflow releases to restore sand bars and fish habitat in the Grand Canyon.

Predictably, Congressman Rob Bishop (R-UT-1) griped, saying, “The plan creates undue imbalance that undermines hydropower generation.”

A study released by Glen Canyon Institute in July says that electric energy generated by the Glen Canyon Dam “represents only a small fraction of regional electric production [and] can be easily replaced if lost.

In fact, hydropower is not the main issue. Lake Powell is a huge water waster. The huge surface area means that an average of 86,000 acre/feet of water annually are lost to evaporation and seeping into porous rocks (that’s enough to supply the Salt Lake Valley for five years). The Glen Canyon Institute advocates filling Lake Mead downstream before storing water in Lake Powell; Other environmental groups advocate permanently draining Lake Powell in order to conserve water and restore the Grand Canyon ecosystem.

IN MEMORIAM

Homage to Cosmic creator Stephen Jones

A

t the beginning of the Summer of Love in 1967, word about a new Salt Lake City store started spreading via actual word of mouth—a common method of communication in those days. When I first visited that place, called Cosmic Aeroplane, a sign prominently displayed read: “We do not know where to get drugs of any kind. If you don’t understand, read this sign again.”

I was expecting the recent concert posters from San Francisco, but the quantity and quality of underground publications surprised me.

Cofounder Steve Jones, the long-haired soft-spoken man behind the counter, was remarkably knowledgeable.

Stephen Morrow Jones was born in 1943 in lower Manhattan and lived in Greenwich Village till his family moved to Hoboken, New Jersey. As a child, Steve read extensively, including comic books, and was a dreamer, according to his siblings.

The family moved to Salt Lake City when Steve was 10. He attended Olympus Junior High and High School. Still an avid reader, he took pleasure in researching subjects that interested him. He also liked going alone into the Wasatch Range to find snakes, and enjoyed tinkering with machines and motorcycles.

During the summer of 1963, he rode a vintage Indian motorcycle from SLC to Manchester by the Sea (near Boston) to visit his grand mother. Steve briefly attended the University of Utah. Still in his early 20s, he opened Cosmic Aeroplane.

Frank Zappa’s catty phrase about “psychedelic dungeons popping up on every street” may have applied to other head shops, but the Cosmic Aeroplane was different. “It was a head shop,” Steve Jones said in a 1992 interview, “but a head shop in terms of using your head—I

BRIEFLY NOTED Farewell Toby Hemenway We were eager to tell you more about the Permaculture Design lecture and workshop we announced last month for February.

Venerable instructor Toby Hemenway, author of the first major North American book on permaculture, Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture and, in 2015, Permaculture City (Chelsea Green Publishers) was going to teach us how to turn our underutilized outdoor spaces into food forests.

Sadly, instead we report that on Winter Solstice, 2016, Toby passed away. He was 64 years old. He died at home of pancreatic cancer.

Last month, we published “Becoming Pattern Literate: How pattern literacy can unlock some of nature’s deepest mysteries,” adapted from a chapter of the book he was working on at the time of his death.

We are very sorry for everyone’s loss. GBdJ HTTP://TOBYHEMENWAY.COM/

Sage’s Cafe returns to its downtown roots Sage’s Cafe will open its doors this month on First South at the site of the former Canton Village.

Sage’s was located on 900 South near the TRAX station for the past three years and for 14 years prior to that on 300 East at 500 South.

Restaurateur Ian Brandt says the new place

is significantly larger, a feature he’s ready to make the most of. The menu is being revamped but will retain old favorites. He describes the decor as “antique meets modern.”

Vertical Diner, another of Brandt’s endeavors, has moved to the 9th South location. On its former site on South Temple he’s opened Vertical Pizza, Salt Lake’s first plant-based pizza parlor.

In response to this loss, the Salt Lake Fire Department seems to be taking precautions by making sure similar warehouse spaces in Utah are safe and in compliance. The Jenkstars, who rent space in the warehouse, were happy to report that the Fire Marshall was appreciative of what their group brings to the area and that neighbors are “pro-creative artist community.”

The Jenkstars are a collective of artists, permaculture pioneers and upcycle engineers.

They host a monthly event in their section of

The CASL is safe Locals of the Salt Lake art scene were met with red tape mid-December when an art warehouse in Sugar House was cited as unsafe to occupy. Fortunately, the Fire Marshall and the building owner were able to quickly resolve the infractions and the building was reopened the same day.

Scrutiny for alternative art spaces has increased since the devastating fire that killed 36 people last month at a warehouse in Oakland, California. The Ghost Ship, as the warehouse was known, was home to painters, musicians, tattoo artists and designers. In addition to providing shelter and an art studio, the warehouse was often used as an event venue. On December 2, the party guests possibly didn’t know the warehouse wasn’t permitted for either a living or event space and that no sprinklers or smoke alarms were installed.

Films worth standing in line for Geralyn’s Sundance cheat sheet

BY GERALYN DREYFOUS

AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL

D

ominant themes found this year in the 2017 Sundance Film Festival lineup bring us narratives of climate change, police misconduct and race. These films explore the plight of Syrian refugees and give us new and surprising perspectives from Cuba and China. It’s also a banner year for local films, with four Utah-made world premieres. And Impact Partners celebrates 10 years of financing awardwinning nonfiction narratives with six new American documentaries.

The opening night films definitely set the tone for the festival. WHOSE STREETS (Director Sabaah Folayan, Co-Director Damon Davis) tells the story of the Ferguson riots from the viewpoint of those who lived through them and who came together to start the Black Lives Matter movement.

In a year of unprecedented political upheaval, it would have been easy for Sundance to give in to voyeurism, to cash in on the spectacle of chaos and division.

They have, instead, kept their focus on doing what films do best: holding a mirror to ourselves, investigating early warning signs, showing us a complex world not seen in news headlines, asking us to use our own moral compass to navigate a world that is changing faster than the news can report it.

AN INCONVENIENT SEQUAL (working title; (directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, Audrie & Daisy and Island President)) examines the climate crisis since former Vice President Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth made “climate change” a household phrase and how close we actually are, now, to a real solution.

It is part of The New Climate—the institute’s year-round initiative dedicated to conversations about environmental change and conservation.

V.P. Gore will participate in a panel with scientist Dr. David Suzuki and other luminaries who bring decades of experience to the study of climate change. Moderated by Democracy Now! journalist Amy Goodman, the January 22 event will be livestreamed from the Egyptian Theatre at SUNDANCE . ORG .

Soil sprouts 18 CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET January, 2017

Grow nutrient-dense greens indoors in seven to 10 days

BY PETER BURKE

G

rowing soil sprouts runs counter to much of what I always held true about gardening in general. When I try to explain soil sprouts to my farming friends and gardening buddies, they often have trouble understanding the concept at first. I know what bothers them: They think that if they plant 70 sunflower seeds or 150 broccoli seeds, their crop will be enormous compared to the tray of greens I describe.

“It is so seed intensive,” one farmer complained. He thought too many seeds were required so he dismissed the idea. He reasoned that one mature sunflower could produce easily hundreds of seeds, or each full-grown plant a large head of broccoli. Why harvest the sprouts before

they’ve had a chance to produce their full yield?

But when you look at it in a different light, it makes sense. No one would call it “seed intensive” to grind up wheat berries or corn kernels— which are viable seeds—to make bread or object to boiling rice to make dinner. Soil sprouts are just another way—a different way—to eat seeds.

Rather than grinding or boiling I grow them for a short time.

The general principle of growing soil sprouts has been understood in Asia and elsewhere for many centuries. 17th century Italy employed radish sprouts, and the English have used cress sprouts for many years. Rich in vitamin C, cress sprouts helped sailors to combat scurvy on long voyages.

1. Soak the seeds first

growth found in indoor salad gardening.

I’m always excited by the miracle I witness each time I soak them for another batch of sprouts. As soon as I pour the water onto the seeds, it’s off to the races, with all the potential in those little “horses” galloping to the finish line—I can almost hear the cheers!

My top seed choices: sunflowers, peas, broccoli family, buckwheat and radishes. Soak 6-12 hours.

Presoaking gives the seeds a jumpstart before planting. Usually seeds must soak up enough water from the soil to initiate growth.

Depending on the environment it might take days before the seeds even begin to sprout. Although soaking is common to hasten the process of growth for large seeds, with soil sprouts all of the seeds are soaked first, regardless of size. This step is a key to realizing the fast

INDOOR GARDENING Many of the seed varieties that I grow for greens wouldn’t be used as food themselves, like radish seeds and broccoli seeds. With my methods, seeds that could only be planted in the outdoor garden in the past can now be used to grow fresh greens indoors. They’ve found a useful place in the pantry as winter food.

An indoor salad garden can even work as a full-time garden for those who live in apartments or condominiums with no other place to grow their own food.

Indoor gardening takes a different approach The techniques that work for an indoor salad garden of soil sprouts are not the same as those I use for my earth garden. An indoor garden required an entirely different approach. For instance, instead of watering the seeds after planting, as I would normally do in my earth garden, I water the seeds before planting by soaking them. Where I usually plant seeds in the soil outdoors, for soil sprouts I scatter the seeds on top of the soil indoors. In my outdoor garden, seeds are planted in carefully spaced patterns. For my indoor garden’s soil sprouts, I spread the soaked seeds on top of the soil so close together that the seeds touch.

Normally gardeners take pains to provide plenty of light for young plant starts, providing grow lights from the moment the new plants emerge from the soil. It’s a totally opposite approach for soil sprouts; I start them in the dark for four days.

For the experienced gardener, it’s a bit of a challenge to go against the grain of years of gardening outdoors. I know it was for me. If this is your first garden and it’s all new, you don’t have the “this-is-how-I-usually-do-it” attitude to overcome. But I should give you fair warning that if your expert gardener friends tell you you’re doing it all wrong, they would be right—that is, if you were growing outdoors!

Just be patient and invite them over for a fresh salad sometime in January, when they’re frozen out of their own gardens.

2. Plant on top of the soil Use standard germination mix. (A 20-quart bag costs around $15-20.) To be perfectly accurate, there is no actual soil in this “soil.” You do not need containers with drainage holes—cereal bowls will do. Pre-mix a gallon of “soil” with four cups of water.

Planting the seed on top of the soil also saves a day or two because the stem and leaf don’t have to push up through the soil. It also

prevents the seed hull and leaves from being covered in soil and keeps the sprout cleaner.

Cleaner stems and leaves (in addition to the soilless seed-starting mix) mean there’s less chance the plants will develop damp off (a disease that quickly kills young shoots) or molds, and the greens are easy to clean at harvest time.

3. Seeds are touching

5. Plant every day

6. Harvest more

In my outdoor earth garden I typically plant varieties like tomatoes or squash once per season. For vegetables like lettuce and carrots I do a second planting at mid-season to harvest a fall crop. For varieties like radishes I replant every two weeks and enjoy a steady supply of fresh roots all growing season. With soil sprouts I plant every day.

My objective when growing sprouts in soil is to encourage rapid growth of the stem and a large seed leaf (called a cotyledon). This allows me to harvest nearly all of the stored nutrition from the seed. The soil sprouts are generally about six to eight inches when I harvest them—considerably longer than regular sprouts and microgreens.

The nutritional value is immense, as well: One ounce of the broccoli family sprouts (Chinese cabbage, purple kohlrabi, broccoli, etc.) has as much of the anti-cancer compound sulforaphane as four pounds of fresh broccoli.

Outside, I would need a 50-foot garden row to plant the same tablespoon of sunflower seeds that I use inside in a small tray that’s only 1⁄8 of 1 square foot in size. By planting the seeds so close that they touch, I get the maximum possible harvest of greens from the smallest possible area. The seed has only enough room to send a root down into the soil and a stem up toward the light, but this is entirely adequate for the short “growing season” of shoots.

4. Grow in the dark For my traditional garden, I use lights and a cold frame or a greenhouse to give young plants plenty of light in the early stages. But soil sprouts are grown for the stem and first leaves of the plant only, and the first few days of darkness encourage a long stem to grow by “forcing” the seed to search for light.

Outdoors, in more hostile conditions, a seed stem may have to make its way through a pile of leaves or straw before it comes out of the dark. The simulated darkness of a tray with paper covers takes advantage of this natural urge in plants to search for light. It encourages a very productive harvest. Total darkness isn’t necessary; even low-light conditions will do the job of forcing the sprouting seeds to develop long stems in the first stages of growth.

For a steady supply of greens from my indoor salad garden, planting every day is key.

For a steady supply of greens from my indoor salad garden, planting every day is key. I routinely start small batches of seeds, about five tablespoons (74 ml) spread over five trays each day. So every day, seeds planted a week ago are coming to harvest. I know just how many trays I’ll need, week to week, harvesting just what I need each time. I want my indoor salad garden to remain small and manageable.

I’ve learned a lot about seeds and sets from growing soil sprouts; in fact some of the techniques I’ve put to good use in my outdoor garden, too. Take peas, for instance. An early, wet spring can make for patchy germination at best, and other times the peas just rot in the soil. One early spring day a few years ago, I realized that I had all these hale and hearty pea sprouts growing indoors in trays. I transplanted some outdoors. They had no trouble growing perfectly well, with no setback effect from transplanting, even though garden books typically advise that peas do not transplant well!

Sometimes going against the grain, stepping outside the box and doing something counterintuitive, offers rich rewards. Growing soil sprouts is one of those times. ◆ Adapted from Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening: The LowTech, No-Grow-Lights Approach to Abundant Harvest by Peter Burke (2015: Chelsea Green; $30).

CHINESE METAPHYSICS

2017: Year of the Fire Rooster Use this energy to motivate and organize, whatever your sign

BY VALERIE LITCHFIELD

Keeper of Time by Lucia Heffernan as well as the others featured in this story are part of her series of Chinese Zodiac animals with a twist opening in Taipei, Taiwan May 6-June 18

ock-a-doddle-doo, it’s time to rise and shine on the chilly midwinter morning of January 28, 2017 and welcome the enthusiastic Fire Rooster. This beautiful multi-colored (and multi-faceted) bird has come to light our way in the year ahead. That year is 4716, according to the ancient Chinese planting and harvesting calendar.

The Chinese New Year is a lunar holiday occuring annually on the second new moon after the Winter Solstice. It’s celebrated in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Chinese New Year marks the official beginning of Spring, a time to honor heaven and earth, God and ancestors. The two-week celebration culminates in the Festival of the Lanterns, with parades of lion dancers that move to the beat of drums and the crackle of firecrackers. Evolving from a simple ritual to chase away evil spirits and bring in the good fortune of the year, lion dancing is now a sport seen around the world.

In the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster is the 10th sign in the 12-year cycle and is combined with the element of fire. Fire Rooster years— 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017—are characterized as a time to look onward

Understand how much money comes your way and where you’re spending it.

Seek out financial advice, open an IRA or a Health Savings Account and empower yourself with the tools and understanding of how money grows. and upward, with righteousness, perseverance and transparency.

The feisty, tough and resilient Rooster creates an awakening where the voices of the downtrodden will be heard, and hard work will be rewarded. During the coming year, affairs will be spirited, events spontaneous and romance will be in the air. Rooster is also known as the “peach blossom,” the succulent flower that becomes the fruit of love.

Rooster people

C

hildren born in fire Rooster years are believed to have a smooth life that is supported by others. They are intelligent and have a strong appetite for knowledge and an adventurous streak that best manifests in sports and drama.

While outwardly appearing strong-willed and energetic, inside they are oftentimes worried. They may keep their innermost feelings a secret. They are not afraid, however, of calling a spade and spade, and are not easily tricked.

Their emotions tend to run black and white, with little room for gray areas. As they don’t mince words, they are not the easiest people to have a relationship with.

However, they will be there for a friend in need at the drop of a hat. The uncompromising Rooster is generous and loyal to friends and loved ones and, under a tough exterior, has a heart forged of gold.

Roosters are fashion forward and are unafraid to create their own unique style. They thrive on the ad-

The Rooster is driven by ambition and status, so this is the year for climbing the ladder of your chosen profession. If you’ve been involved in a long-term work project, the Rooster’s determination will assist you with the completion this year, and recognition and a raise are sure to follow.

Humility doesn’t play well in 2017; rather, it’s a time to be the “cock of the walk.” You can strut your stuff by displaying diplomas, awards and acknowledgements around your office or on your website. Dressing for success is also part of a winning strategy.

The management of finances is top priority in 2017. If you have found that your budget has fallen by the wayside in the last several years, recommit and create a plan now. It’s time to really understand how much money comes your way and where you’re spending it. Seek out financial advice about the future, open an IRA or a Health Savings Account and empower yourself with the tools and understanding of how money grows. Even if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, you, like the Vietnamese metaphor for the Rooster, “have the strength in your beak and claws to find a worm in the desert” this year. ◆

miring glances of others and want the best when it comes to material things.

Roosters can be vain, boastful and hypercritical of everything and everyone around them, including themselves, as well as inflexible with beliefs and opinions. When it comes to money, Roosters are prudent and careful. They are brilliant managers of other people’s money and give sound advice that people can trust.

Above everything, Roosters want to be successful.

It might take them a while to reach their goals, but they will likely succeed.

Rooster people are born organizers and like their home to be refined and elegant. Bank accounts will be balanced and documents properly filed. When it comes to making decisions, Roosters prefer to know all the facts and will then carefully consider all sides before coming to a conclusion.

Roosters may touch great heights and low depths during their lives, going from rags to riches, from ideal love to the most sordid of emotional entanglements.

Old age will be a happy time. Roosters benefit in their lives from relationships with Ox, Snake and Dragon and are antagonized by Rabbit, Dog and Tiger. ◆

Rise & shine!

1. Organize your home and office.

Declutter and clean out closets, drawers and cabinets. Rearrange the furniture in the main rooms to create an environment conductive to flow and effectiveness.

2. Get on top of your schedule by prioritizing your time, delegating tasks and focusing on your goals.

3. Create a monthly budget that tracks your income and expenditures. Be sure to add monthly to your “nest egg.”

4. Update your wardrobe. Bold colors and eye-catching accessories are very “Rooster.”

5. Broaden your horizons with live entertainment by local theater groups or treat yourself to a touring Broadway performance.

6. Get in touch with your inner foodie by routinely trying new (locally owned) restaurants.

7. Enhance your cooking skills— take a cooking class.

8. Roosters like to shop. Keep it local if you can.

9. Plan a vacation to the middle of nowhere, where you can hike, sit by a babbling brook or cloudwatch, Rooster’s favorite passtimes.

10. Don’t wait for vacations—get outside now!

11. Romance is in the air. You may write (and/or receive) a love communication.

12. Be loyal in your friendships this year; keep your promises and your word.

n Chinese metaphysics, five elements influence the energetics of the year along with the animal signs. The elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal are either yin or yang. In 2017, the element influencing the Rooster is yin fire.

Yin fire also symbolizes optimism, public life and shining success. It will be the driving force behind gains in the stock market and the upward movement of the economy. Confidence to buy will be particularly strong in spring and summer, when the candle’s flame gains the seasonal support of wood element. As the can-

Yin fire also brings a renewed interest in energy healing techniques, such as Reiki, craniosacral therapy and acupuncture.

Fire is extremely powerful and can’t exist itself—it must be created and supported. The flickering flame of a candle, a small fire, represents emotion. It must be kept in check at all times. Like the Chinese saying—“a spark of fire can burn down the field”—emotions can get out of control. Yin fire is associated with fire disasters and explosions. When it energizes the

dle burns down toward fall, the markets will weaken and could even be extinguished by winter. Industries related to fire, such as energy, solar panels, the stock market and finance will do well this year.

The Rooster brings glamour and entertainment, particularly to people born in the year of Monkey, Rat or Dragon. Yin fire also relates to the kitchen and cooking, bringing atten-

tion and prosperity to restaurants and foodrelated businesses.

2017 will bring further advancements in technology, medicine and human rights. The first satellites Sputnik 1 and 2 were launched by the Soviet Union while at the same time the USA sent Explorer 1 into orbit. The United Nations was formed in the Rooster year of 1945 with the purpose of promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion. That year the laser was invented, the electron discovered and aspirin was first introduced as medicine.

Due to the Rooster’s determined nature, diet and exercise will meet with success in 2017. Fitness and yoga centers will be unusually busy. But yin fire in the chart could lead to heart and breathing problems; take extra good care of your immune system. Yin fire also brings a renewed interest in energy healing techniques, such as craniosacral therapy, Reiki and acupuncture. ◆

SELF-HEALTH

The Tibetan eye chart These exercises make your eyes feel great. And maybe they even help!

Affix this chart to a wall at eye level. To get the maximum workout, do the exercises without glasses or contacts.

Close your eyes and place the palms of your hands over them for a minute.

Then, standing about an inch away from the chart, line your nose up with the center dot.

Visually follow each of the arms out to their dots, always returning to the center dot before moving on to the next. Do this with all the dots.

Starting at the top dot, move your eyes counter clockwise around all the dots. Repeat, going clockwise.

Relax your eyes again, and repeat 13 twice again.

C

enturies ago, Tibetan monks created an image to help improve the muscles in their eyes. Or so the story goes. We try this periodically here in the office, and it really does seem to help. Who knows what consistent practice might do?

The lenses in your eyes work similarly to the shutter of a camera. To see better in lower light, the pupil

“It’s important to encourage your visual system to do its best.” Since we exercise the rest of the body, why not the eyes? opens and allows more light in; in brighter light, it does just the opposite, closing to filter the incoming light. But as eye muscles weaken, it’s harder for them to perform this task.

What’s worse is when the lenses begin to lose their shape due to the weakened muscles holding them.

This can cause problems such as lazy eye, astigmatisms and double vision.

“Exercising eye muscles will not eliminate the most common maladies that necessitate corrective lenses,” according to Harvard Medical School’s Family Health Guide. However, “It’s important to encourage your visual system to do its best.”

Since we exercise the rest of the body, why not the eyes?

Using the Tibetan eye chart with the accompanying exercises stimulates the muscles and nerves of the optical system. It feels great. And maybe it even helps. At least, it won’t hurt. ◆

YOGA

Grounding your practice Focus on the basics for a good foundation

I

n 1989, I went to Pune, India to study with Geeta and BKS Iyengar. A group of 30-some dedicated practitioners from around the U.S. joined senior teacher Mary Dunn for a three-week intensive.

I gravitated toward a group of teachers who all stayed at the same $10 per night hotel— which I’m sure is not nearly that good of a deal these days. In the evenings, we’d gather on one of our balconies and discuss our day of classes.

A theme that kept arising in our discussions was disappointment in the absence of “advanced” poses in our asana classes. Most wanted to learn finer points of fancy poses, eschewing the basic standing poses we were practicing.

I, on the other hand, felt that if I had an understanding of Tadasana (Mountain Pose) by the end of our trip, I’d be happy. In Tadasana are the seeds of understanding all the other asanas.

Practicing your scales I’ve played music my entire life. While I didn’t much care for practicing my scales as a child, I’ve come to appreciate that scales and arpeggios are building blocks. Becoming facile in scales and arpeggios in every key gives you the muscle memory you need to play pretty much anything with ease.

Years ago, I attended a workshop with banjoist Béla Fleck. He talked about his lifelong desire to “take off” on his instrument, to tread territory no one had previously explored. If you know his work, you know he has succeeded in this, and then some! But he also spoke about a time when he realized he needed to go back and relearn the basics. He decided to learn everything Earl Scruggs ever recorded on the

In learning how to read music after being an ear player, Jerry Garcia found that his ability to soar outside the lines was only enhanced by learning the basics.

BY CHARLOTTE BELL five-string banjo. In learning the basics, he found that his ability to travel uncharted territory only grew.

I read a similar interview with Jerry Garcia, where he spoke about going back and learning how to read music after being an ear player. Like Fleck, he found that his ability to soar outside the lines was only enhanced by learning the basics.

We can do the same in yoga. Many of us are so anxious to get to what we believe to be the pinnacle of practice— those fancy poses— that we fail to lay the groundw o r k .

Grounding your yoga practice in the basic tools

o f movement facilitates your inner explorations.

• Simplify your practice: At least some

of the time, explore simple poses such as Tadasana, Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), Sukhasana (Easy Pose), Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), Talasana (Palm Tree Pose) and Janu Sirsasana (Headof-the-Knee Pose). There are many others, of course, including all the wide-legged standing poses. These are just a few suggestions.

In these basic poses you can explore the finer points of practice than in poses that require complicated combinations of movements.

• Practice patience: Practice about 5-10% in-

side your edge. This allows you to feel more subtle sensations and make finer adjustments. When you are constantly pushing up against your edge, sensations are so intense

that you can’t feel anything subtle. If you want to refine your practice with intelligence, you need to be in touch with subtlety.

•

Take your time:

Spend a minute or so in each pose, letting your breath lead you into your asana, rather than listening to your ego’s call to push further on.

• Give your breath primacy: If you can’t

breathe easily in a pose, you are pushing too hard. Find where the breath is restricted—is it in your lower belly, upper chest or midsection?

Then back off a bit so that the breath is free. Breathing is always more important than performing.

• Set your foundation: In every pose, something will be in contact with the ground— unless, of course, you’re levitating, but that’s for another post. Whether you’re standing, sitting, kneeling or lying down, start with a solid foundation. Feel how your base is contacting the ground. Is one side grounding while the other side is lifting? Are you collapsing into the ground, or are you propping yourself away from it?

In the years since that trip to Pune, I’ve studied with lots of Iyengar teachers, and with a few who have an Iyengar foundation, but have struck out on their own paths. Donna Farhi is one of the latter, and her emphasis on grounding your yoga practice in the basics—read her “Seven Moving Principles” in her book Yoga Mind, Body, Spirit)—brought me back to the roots of movement. Practicing my yogic scales, through Donna’s guidance, has helped me practice with greater ease. Grounding in the basics, every day, has set my practice free. ◆ Charlotte Bell has been practicing yoga since 1982. She is the author of several yoga-related books and founder of Mindful Yoga Collective in Salt Lake City.

I like that my two large dogs can come and go, and I never have to worry about accidents inside. The doggie door is about 15 by 20 inches and has double plastic flaps, but they definitely do not completely seal off the opening to winter wind. I thought about hanging a heavy curtain in the entrance to the room, which perhaps would contain any heat loss. Thoughts?

And is it also possible that the dogs themselves give off enough heat to make up for the loss? I know I can tell the temperature difference in the bedroom when they are there.

Norman S. Missoula, Montana

Dearest Norman, A dog owner’s blessings are many: devoted canine companionship, fierce anti-burglar services, frequent licks in the face (if you’re into that sort of thing). But so, too, are his sacrifices: poop scooping, dog hair, frequent licks in the face (if you’re not into that sort of thing). And in the midst of winter, add this one to the latter list: doggie doors and their effects on home energy efficiency. What’s a responsible owner of two independent, comeand-go pooches to do?

I’m afraid you already have your answer as to whether or not you’re losing heat, Norman. If the door flaps “definitely do not completely seal off the opening to winter wind,” then sadly, yes, you are. If wind can sneak in, then warm air can sneak out, forcing your heater to work harder to replace that loss. You might also be hemorrhaging heat through the plastic flaps themselves, as they’re not made of the heartiest material. Do you also feel drafts on laundry day? That’s another dead giveaway that something is amiss.

Just how much heat loss we’re talking depends on the quality of the doggie door and how well it fits into your people door or wall, so I can’t give you precise numbers. One esti-

mate for a leaky cat door reported an owner might pay an extra $6.72 per month in heating costs, and that’s for a significantly smaller portal — so it’s possible your beast-sized opening could push your bills higher still. No matter the exact price, your pet door is a breach in your home’s thermal envelope, and that’s wasteful.

You wouldn’t leave your windows cracked in

If you’re the handy type, this turns out to be a simple and affordable DIY project.

the winter, right? You don’t want to let your furnace’s hard-earned heat pour outside.

Luckily, you can button up your home without sacrificing the convenience of the doggie door. I do think a heavy curtain in the doorway would help somewhat, but I’m betting you’ll do even better by upgrading the pet door itself.

If you’re the handy type, this turns out to be a simple and affordable DIY project. What you need is A) extra insulation and B) an airtight seal. Your double plastic flaps are a good step toward A already, because they help trap a pocket of insulating air between them. But that’s not enough without B. You can achieve this through weatherstripping your pet door, just as you would with any other door or window (you’ve already done the rest of the house, right?). Adding magnets to keep the flaps in place might also fortify them against stiff winds. For inspiration, check out this step-by-

step guide to building a tightly sealed dog door: WWW.INSTRUCTABLES.COM/ID/A-DOG-DOOR-THET WO-FLAP-SOLUTION/ On the other hand, if woodshop wasn’t your best course back in high school, you can always replace your old doggie door with a better, more efficient ready-made model. Options range from magnetically enhanced doubleflap designs to one remarkable electronic door that, for the faint sum of $1,700, opens automatically when your pet (and only your pet) approaches and then closes up tightly behind.

No matter which option you choose, there is one surefire way to know just how airtight that doggie door is: a home energy audit, including a blower-door test that pinpoints air leaks.

While these professional assessments of your house’s energy efficiency are probably a bit pricey if all you want is to test your dog door (they typically cost a few hundred bucks), if you haven’t already had an audit, you might want to get one done anyway, or do one yourself.

Check out Rocky Mountain Power’s Home Energy Reports and Online Tools ( WWW.ROCKYMOUNTAINPOWER.NET/RES/SEM/IDAHO/IDAHO-HOME-ENERGY-TO OLS.HTML).

As for the impact of your pups’ body heat?

People certainly radiate excess warmth — to the point where some buildings harness it and use it to heat other buildings — so I don’t see why a couple of giant, warm-blooded dogs would be any different. But rather than using that as an excuse to leave your leaky pet door alone, do one better: Fix up the door, then turn down your thermostat a few degrees and let man’s best friend pick up the slack. Snuggling with a toasty pooch belongs right up there with the best blessings of dog ownership, after all.

Greening higher education Tracking campus sustainability

BY AMY BRUNVAND

Edible Campus Gardens crew selling produce grown on campus at the University of Utah Farmers Market

If learners are to gain sustainability skills through tackling real-world problems, a good place to start would be in the places they are studying. At the moment, the physical buildings and campuses of schools and universities manifest unsustainability, whatever their courses say about sustainability. The hidden and overt curricula are at odds.

– “Institutional Transformation” in Handbook of Sustainability (2009)

L

ately I’ve been working at the University of Utah Sustainability Office helping to compile a massive report about campus sustainability called STARS (it stands for Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System). In academia, acronyms are everything). STARS was launched in 2010 by the Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) in order to have one single comprehensive sustainability evaluation for higher education instead of lots of little sur-

veys that started proliferating as interest in grew in creating a more sustainable society.

Participating colleges and universities fill out a detailed questionnaire and earn points for specific practices related to academics, community engagement, campus facilities man-

agement, and leadership. Points add up to earn an overall sustainability ranking— bronze, silver, gold or platinum.

STARS scores are used by Sierra magazine to identify an annual list of “Cool Schools” and by the Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges.

Team of student volunteers weeding at the Edible Campus Gardens

The lesson is clear: A little seed money and some interdisciplinary brainstorming can go a long way.

The reports are also freely available on the STARS website, so you can look and see how your university or alma mater ranks. So far, more than 350 colleges and universities have submitted STARS reports. Only one has managed to earn a Platinum STARS ranking— Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado.

The University of Utah last submitted a STARS report in 2011 and earned a Bronze rating. Since then, the U has been busy developing sustainability curriculum and working on climate change and active transportation planning. Myron Willson, University of Utah Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer (and one of the Enlightened 50 named each year by the Community Foundation of Utah) hopes to boost the score to silver on the next report.

As sustainable practices become more integrated in higher education, changes are evident on the ground. If you visited the University of Utah campus this past fall you might have noticed a flourishing vegetable garden behind the Pioneer Memorial Theatre, buzzing beehives in the J. Willard Marriott Library roof garden, colorful graphics on recycle bins encouraging you to sort your trash, a solar-panel parking canopy near the new Law School building, a weekly farmers’ market selling fresh veggies, wooden boxes fastened to trees to attract nesting kestrels, or a set of handy bike repair tools chained to an outdoor workbench.

What’s most exciting about these projects is, they were dreamed up and/or implemented

by students using the campus as a living laboratory. By trying out ideas at the relatively small campus scale, students get real-life experience to take with them after they graduate.

At the University of Utah, student sustainability projects are largely supported by two specific programs: a Sustainable Campus Initiative Fund which collects a $2.50 student fee per semester in order to offer student grants, and the Global Changes & Society course (SUST 6000) that is core to earning an Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate in Sustainability.

Students enrolled in SUST 6000 form a team to develop and carry out a group project. Since 2012 they have addressed stewardship of Red Butte Creek, strategies to encourage non-automobile commuting, and changing the campus culture to address climate change.

The lesson is clear: a little seed money and some interdisciplinary brainstorming can go a long way.

Of course, the University of Utah is not the only member of the Utah System of Higher Education using STARS to evaluate campus sustainability. Westminster College filed a STARS report last April earning a silver medal; Utah State University also earned silver with a particularly strong showing for water management on campus.

It may seem funny to think that simply filling out a survey could change the world, but by documenting steps toward sustainability, colleges and universities can see what they are doing well and mind the gaps. Ultimately, STARS encourages campus sustainability programs at many levels so that students can learn to become agents of change.

Oils, balms, butters and more: Rx for high desert winter-parched bodies

BY EMMA RYDER AND KATHERINE PIOLI when applied to the skin of mice, olive oil reduces the incidence of skin cancer development after UVB exposure.

Cleansing with oil may seem counter-intuitive, but the right kinds can dissolve skin oil and dirt as well as protect skin from winter dryness.

Utah-made body care products are found online, at craft fairs and at area farmers markets. Here are a few local small businesses for you to consider next time you’re in the market for some primo products.

Olio Skin & Beard

A

n organic, locally grown tomato is good for our bodies and grows wealth in our community. And we can expand that concept beyond the culinary! Your whole body, after all, can benefit from skin care products made with healthy ingredients. These days, a growing number of local entrepreneurs are making this possible.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body.

Yes, it’s a barrier to everything underneath, but it also absorbs lots of nutrients every day and it can just as easily take in a number of toxins.

The average person uses about 10 different body products a day. It’s a good bet at least some of those products contain alcohol, which dries out the skin and makes the body’s barrier more vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. Mineral oil is another red flag ingredient. Derived from petroleum, it can clog pores and prevent the body from eliminating toxins. Then there’s palm oil, which is taking an enormous environmental and social toll with a harvest industry linked to deforestation, animal cruelty and in-

digenous rights abuses.

Scientific studies occasionally confirm the benefits of using natural, Earthbased ingredients.

According to the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, some plant-based ingredients (such as olive oil, chamomile, and oats) used in cosmetics and body care products can prevent and treat the adverse effects of UV radiation.

Finely ground and boiled oats produces colloidal oatmeal best known for its ability to hydrate skin and hair and protect the body from UV radiation, free radicals and smoke.

Olive oil, considered one of the healthiest forms of dietary fat, has anti-inflammatory properties. Some research has shown that,

Jennifer Williamson started her adventure into handmade body care after being disappointed with the quality of the products she was using on her clients as a nail technician.

Williamson took matters into her own hands , creating some homemade mostly vegan and plant-based concoctions.

Olio Skin & Beard provides an impressive line of niche products such as beard and tattoo oils. Their activated charcoal shave soap (for men and women) is made in collaboration with local soap maker Bee Smooth Skin Care.

From beard oils to lotion, this company strives to make everything in their product line clean, holistic and sustainable.

Olio products include: sea kelp and clay mask, soak salts, hair and scalp oil. Find Olio: Salt Lake summer Downtown Farmer’s Market and OLIOSKIN.COM.

Crude Personal Care Master esthetician Denise Cartwright created Crude Personal Care after experimenting with oil cleansing methods on herself. The oil cleanse improved her chronically dry skin when nothing else would. And so Crude Personal Care was born.

Crude’s line of gentle, plant-based products helps maintain skin’s natural ability to regener-

ate itself. Crude products do not use sulfates, parabens, detergents or chemicals of any kind, all for the benefit of your skin.

Crude products include: facial oil, beard oil, detox mask. Find Crude: LIVECRUDE.COM.

enus enters Pisces on January 3, setting the tone for the flow of the entire year.

We focus less on fighting and more on how to love others in deeper and more authentic ways. And as Mae West said, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!”

Your new year’s resolutions may include helping those in need. Your compassionate nature is aroused and you want to express your heart in a way that has substance and impact.

If you want to figure out how to make a business from your heart’s desire, this would be the month to act. Money can flow in a positive direction if the worldly expression of your work is in helping and healing others, the planet, and those in need of your compassionate service.

This month offers a rebirth for your heart and spirit. You might feel that you have the energy to bring your dreams out of the cave and into the light. You’ve been hibernating some ideas that are now trying to come into conscious awareness.

Be careful that you do not misinterpret your thoughts as the goals. Thoughts are often viruses from others that you believed might be your path or purpose. But another’s path can never be your own. Dream your dreams, own them, and then take responsibility to move them forward. Do not be a worker bee of some

We see from the cards that many powerful energies, forces with their own agendas and instincts, influence this month’s progression. Expect some controversy and drama, as life will not be without its upsets.

Do not put wood on another person’s fire. Just let the fire burn itself out.

We may witness more acts of powerful aggression. There will be those who want to prove everyone wrong who does not agree with them. Do your best to not get embroiled in violent altercations with those who are acting from their ego and their reactive self. Do not put wood on another person’s fire. Just let the fire burn itself out. Once their energy is exhausted, they might have an opportunity to awaken. Use the aggressive energy of the Badger to heal yourself and to rid you of dys-

There are those who fear the unknown and who are connected to their personal feelings of despair and separation. Know that there is freedom when you embrace your own power.

Choose to free yourself from the limitation you are experiencing. You are clearly at the edge of who you have known yourself to be. You confront the fires of your own disowned emotional expression. You must be willing to walk through the fire and let it burn away old patterns, beliefs, experiences, judgments, memories and expectations. There is great joy when you learn how to live without attachments.

That is how you become the master player in your own magnificent game.

Many who are feeling profound anger, resentment and hopelessness will not be convinced that infinite possibilities still exist. Their disappointment feels real to them. But the future will not be as bad as they want to believe. ◆ 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.

HEALTH NOTES

January

BY RACHEL SILVERSTONE

Initial studies indicate that the artificially intelligent nanoarray was 86% accurate, and presence of one disease would not rule out the detection of others. This is a huge step in the direction of affordable and easy-to-use tools to detect diseases, especially of the targeted cancerous, inflammatory and neurological diseases of this study.

[mantra for the month] [ease] Ashwagandha reduces serum cortisol levels, indicator of stress

Ashwagandha, withania somnifera, winter cherry, Indian ginseng, or in my book, “waveyour-magic-wandha,” are all names for the ancient herbal Ayurvedic adaptogen, historically used to help with anxiety and sleep and to stabilize blood sugar.

Ashwagandha, a member of the Solanaceae family (along with tomatoes, peppers, deadly nightshade, datura and potatoes) contains a class of over 300 naturally occurring steroids called withanolides. They have demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects, and also positively affect the neural receptors for GABA, a key sleep neurotransmitter. Its most pronounced biochemical effect is its ability to lower baseline cortisol levels, important physiological in-

New diagnostic tool of breath: the Nanoarray can detect 17 diseases in humans Before blood tests, urine tests and swab tests, healers used their highly tuned observational skills to diagnose patients via smelling, of a patient’s body odor, feces and breath.

Now, thousands of years later, technology is being developed to distinguish a unique “breath print” of each disease.

Breath consists of combinations of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and over 100 volatile components. Of these, 13 of the exhaled chemical species were identified in various combinations with 17 certain diseases.

Researchers from Israel, France, the USA, Latvia and China have collaborated on this groundbreaking technology, using breath samples of over 1,400 healthy and sick people.

Risk for cardiovascular events identified with low vitamin D levels Vitamin D deficiency, a rising trend in Americans, especially among older women, was shown in a 2015 study by researchers at Salt Lake City’s Intermountain Medical Center (IHC) Heart Institute to correlate with heart health.

Assessment for vitamin D levels can be determined through a simple blood test.

The normal level for vitamin D serum is about 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml).

IHC’s Dr. J. Brent Muhlestein, co-director of cardiovascular research, found that people with serum vitamin D levels levels below 15 ng/ml have a higher rate of cardiovascular events, compared to those with levels above 15 ng/ml.

This conclusion was found from following over 41,000 patients and correlating their vitamin D levels with risk of cardiovascular events.

Dosage is important, as shown in a recent study led by H. Paulson, ND, FABNO (Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology). The effect of high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation (4,000 IU daily) was compared to low-dose vitamin D3 (400 IU daily), by measuring cell-mediated immune response, an indicator of T cells being activated to target and destroy infected cells. The higher dosage of vitamin D3 had a significant effect on fewer immune responses after just two months of supplementation, compared to insignificant increase of the low-dosage group.

Humans synthesize vitamin D from sun exposure and consuming fish, fish liver oils, egg yolks and some dairy and grain products. “This study sheds new light and direction on which patients might best benefit from taking vitamin D supplements,” Dr. Muhlestein concludes.
