Clapping Hands Sharpens the Brain
A
new study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev reveals that hand-clapping songs boost the development of motor and cognitive skills in children ages 6 through 10. “We found that children in the first, second and third grades who sing these [kinds of] songs demonstrate skills absent in children who don’t take part in similar activities,” explains Dr. Idit Sulkin, of the university’s music science lab. “We also found that children who spontaneously perform hand-clapping songs in the yard during recess have neater handwriting, write better and make fewer spelling errors.” Sulkin engaged several elementary school classrooms in a program of either music appreciation or hand-clapping songs for 10 weeks. With the hand-clapping group, she found that “Within a very short period of time, the children who until then hadn’t taken part in such activities caught up in their cognitive abilities to those who did.” The children’s teachers believe that those who participate in such hand-clapping songs also exhibit better social integration.
THE HUMAN HEART RENEWS ITSELF Researchers at Karolinska Institute, a leading medical university in Sweden, have demonstrated that contrary to conventional theory, heart cells are able to regenerate themselves. Examining the heart tissue of 50 people over the course of four years, the researchers found that new heart cells appeared to replace older ones at a rate of approximately 1 percent per year in people in their 20s, falling to 0.5 percent per year by age 75. Scientists now hope to find ways to stimulate this natural regeneration of heart cells as a way to avoid heart transplants and help people recover from heart attacks.
WHEN MORE ISN’T BETTER
In recent years, multiple studies have touted the benefits of following a diet rich in antioxidant vitamins such as C and E. Now, new findings show that while antioxidant-rich foods are fine when eaten in large quantities, taking too many antioxidants in supplement form can put our health at risk. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute report that many people take way too many vitamins, believing that if a little is good, a lot must be better— but that is not the case. “If you are taking 10 or 100 times the amount in a daily multivitamin, you may be predisposing your cells to developing cancer,” warns institute Director Dr. Eduardo Marbán, who led the study.

Listening TO THE CLAY: A Conversation with Rick Hoffman
P
by Phebe Karen Beiser
otter and teacher Rick Hoffman began Covington Clay so others could experience the satisfaction of working with clay. “A lot of people take my class because working in clay was always something they wanted to do. Others enjoy it because it allows them to block out all the everyday noise in their head and concentrate on one thing, and that’s making pots.” “During first grade I had my first experience with clay. I made a napkin holder with a hideous yellow glaze. My mother carefully stored it and returned it to me at age 40! When I go into elementary schools or artist in residence programs, I’ll show it to them. I think it is important for everyone to remember what they really want to do no matter how many years it takes to begin.” “For me, being an artist was never an issue. I was drawn to this medium

ever since I could remember. When I took art history in college, I had to take studio classes, and that’s when it hit me--that I wanted to be a potter. It was just that knowing. I had this attraction to clay; I needed to do this.” “Clay holds the imprint of emotion. It responds and shows the dent of an aggressive hand in a different way than it holds the dent of a gentle hand. To have a successful finished product, you have to navigate the perils of each stage. One wrong move and you begin again. But when done well, its permanence is its appeal. It holds emotion indefinitely. When teaching, I listen to the children, the adults, and most importantly, the clay.” Rick grew up in Pennsylvania and graduated from William & Mary College. His first studio was in the basement of a dog grooming shop. That’s when he bought his first wheel and kiln. At that point he didn’t know he’d be teaching, but people came to him and said they wanted to learn. “I realized later that I pay attention to how I learn so it was easy for me to teach someone. That’s really my strong point. If you’re a good teacher, you’re a good learner. You also need to learn something new yourself. My workspace is also my students’ workspace. They see what I’m doing and they see how I’m doing it.” His position at a community col-

Entrance Hall of Covington Clay
lege in Pennsylvania became the jump from teaching privately to running a larger studio and also gave Rick the basis for Covington Clay. He felt it would work here in Greater Cincinnati, that there was a demand for what he was offering. So Rick and his partner moved from Pennsylvania and bought an 1860 commercial building at 16 W. Pike Street in the historic central business district of Covington, Kentucky. The building is being converted to live-work space. They’ve been rehabbing it for five years now. A retail store in the front sells pottery, most made right at Covington Clay, by students as well as the instructor.
FIRST FRIDAY GALLERY HOPS “On First Fridays for about 15 months, I was inviting people into the
studio. I had rolled out tiles, still a little soft, and anyone who wanted to make something had to do two tiles. After I glazed and finished them, I kept one for an installation that will go on the wall outside my front door and in the lobby. Anyone who participated in that over those 15 months will be able to walk down the street and see their artwork on the building. It’ll be like a billboard!” “I called it ‘First Amendment Fridays’ because it covered freedom of speech, religion, press, and expression. I think it’s going to be a good project! My part of it is taking lots of little pieces and making sense out of it.” Rick hopes to have it installed by October. The studio itself is environmentally friendly. For the entrance Rick used handmade tiles--3000 of recycled clay that would have been bound for a landfill. He also uses two grey water sinks with filters that recycle the water instead of putting dirty byproducts down the drain. He has full spectrum lighting “so we don’t get winter depression here working on our pots!” Most of Covington Clay’s ongoing programs are for adults but Rick also leads workshops with a parent/grandparent and a child where they can work on a project together. They do their own independent work that might relate to each other—like a cup and saucer. Rick also holds two day workshops through the University of Cincinnati’s Communiversity program. He currently has seven classes at Covington Clay. To find out more about Covington Clay’s upcoming classes, open houses, and sales, go to CovingtonClay.com For information on programs in schools where Rick “integrates clay into curriculums of every grade level,” culminating in permanent public art, see HoffmanStudios.com Also see ad on page 15.

EARTH MUSIC SOUNDSCAPES OF AMERICA’S QUIET PLACES by Susie Ruth
“S
ilence is like scouring sand,” says Gordon Hempton, an award-winning acoustic ecologist. “When you are quiet, the silence blows against your mind and etches away everything soft and unimportant. What is left is what is real: pure awareness and the very hardest questions.” It’s not easy to find silence, which is facing extinction in the modern world. If a quiet place is one where you can listen for 15 minutes in daylight hours without hearing a human-created sound, there are no quiet places left in Europe. There are none east of the Mississippi River and perhaps 12 in the American West, including one square inch in the Hoh Rain Forest at Olympic National Park, now officially recognized as the quietest place in the United States (OneSquareInch. org). In defending this exemplary spot of silence, Hempton is effectively protecting the soundscape of about 1,000 square miles of surrounding land. Hempton defines silence not as noiselessness, but “the complete absence of all audible mechanical vibrations, leaving only the sounds of nature at her most natural. Silence is the presence of everything, undisturbed.” Silence, he would concur, is not the absence of sound, but a way of living—an intention to make of one’s own ears, one’s own body, a sounding board that resonates with the vibrations of the world. Silence creates an opening, an absence of self, which allows the larger world to enter into our awareness. It brings us into contact with what is be-
yond us, its beauty and mystery. Hempton encourages us all to join in the self-discovery of nature. He’s found, “All we have to do is listen.” Sounds, more than sight, connect us, he observes. In learning to listen to nature’s nuances, we also learn how to listen to one another. His favorite time of day for listening to nature is 30 minutes before sunrise. When the atmosphere is still, “It is not unusual to hear many square miles at once.” Astonishment and gratitude illuminate our being when light breezes play across leaves and set them in motion, chirruping night insects wind down and the birds’ dawn chorus begins. When our moving a stone in a creek bed alters the water music, it is we who are moved. No one knows why natural sounds speak so directly to the human spirit, but we all acknowledge, in silent thanksgiving, that they do. Gordon Hempton, of Port Angeles, WA, is an acoustic ecologist whose awardwinning recordings of America’s vanishing natural soundscapes support his campaign to protect the silence of our national parks (SoundTracker.com). Over the past 25 years, he has circled the globe three times in pursuit of environmental sound portraits.

Several years ago, a friend casually said that people forget that they need five things in order for the body to function at its best: air, water, light, food and movement. Ah, movement—I was guessing my friend did not mean moving from couch to chair with remote in hand. That began my quest for an exercise program.
I
have always loved to dance—not formally, and certainly not professionally, but I love upbeat music—so I gave Zumba Fitness® a try. I became hooked almost from the start; the elusive “high” I had never achieved with other exercise programs had finally arrived! Zumba Fitness is an aerobic workout with Latin and international dance moves using upbeat Latin music. A typical class involves basic fitness moves along with salsa, meringue, mambo (cha cha) and samba. Each class begins with one or two slower warm-up songs, followed by a mix of higher impact songs with a few lower impact songs mixed in, and ends with a stretching cool-down.
Greater Cincinnati Edition
by Peggi Anneken
It is truly for all ages (from teens on up to seniors) and fitness levels. Everyone is encouraged to move at his or her comfort level; nothing should ever hurt in a Zumba workout. No dance experience is necessary, as the instructor typically breaks down all the steps. The class has many repetitive moves, so it is easy to learn. In addition, most classes have a mix of fast and slow songs as well as routines, for a better workout. The best part is, Zumba is FUN! Zumba was invented in 1990s when celebrity fitness trainer Beto Perez stumbled on the concept of Latin-inspired fitness in South America. Before one of his aerobic classes, he realized he forgot his music—so he grabbed his Latin music CDs from his car. He improvised the workout, adding salsa and meringue steps with fitness moves, and “Zumba” was born. Shortly thereafter, Perez brought his class to the United States, starting with infomercials to sell his CDs. He then added classes to train instructors with his trademark concept. Most Zumba classes are about an hour—and you can burn from 500 to 600 calories in one session. Even the lower impact version of Zumba, Zumba Gold®, can burn up to 350 calories in a one-hour session. In Zumba Gold, the transition from one step to another is slower, and the moves do not include high-impact moves like jumping—perfect for seniors or someone who is just starting to exercise. Zumba Fitness requires no special equipment—only your willingness to
give something new a try. Wear comfortable clothing (a T-shirt and shorts, sweats or workout clothing) and bring a towel and plenty of water. The best shoe for Zumba is a light-weight gym shoe or dance sneaker; you want to be able to move easily, and a heavy gym shoe can become cumbersome. Zumba is a great fitness program for anyone who wants to get into shape, stay in shape or lose weight while having fun. Classes are offered all over the world in gyms, YMCAs, dance studios, schools, fitness centers and community/ church centers. The Greater Cincinnati area has a huge assortment of facilities and instructors that offer classes during the day or evenings and weekends. All Zumba instructors are different and have their own style, so you may want
to check out a few classes with different instructors to see which style suits your needs. If you are looking for something new to add to your fitness routine, want to start a fitness routine, or just want to give something different a try, check out a Zumba class and see why they say, “Join the party!� Peggi Anneken is a certified Zumba Fitness instructor for the Basic, Gold, and Toning levels.

mong Stephen Simon’s many acclaimed films are the Academy Award-winning What Dreams May Come, Somewhere in Time, and the groundbreaking Conversations with God. He also co-founded The Spiritual Cinema Circle in 2004 with relationship experts Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks. As a subscription-based monthly DVD community, Spiritual Cinema Circle offers viewers a continuous array of upbeat and inspirational films that help us feel better about being human.
Why did you decide to produce spiritual films? I’ve always loved films like It’s a Wonderful Life, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, that have a spiritual content to them, even though Hollywood refers to them as fantasy films. My dad was a big comedy director in the 1930s and 40s, and I always knew spiritual movies were the kinds of films I wanted to make. When I was about 30 years old, I read this extraordinary book called Bid Time Return, by Richard Matheson, which I went on to produce as my first film, called Somewhere in Time. What Dreams May Come was also based on a Matheson novel. Later, when I read the Conversations with God books by Neale Donald Walsch and we became good friends, I just knew the story of his life would lend itself to film.
Greater Cincinnati Edition
What is the difference between a spiritual and a religious film? Mainstream media uses the words spiritual and religious as synonymous terms, but they are not. A religious film would be like The Passion of the Christ or The Ten Commandments, whereas a spiritual film would be like Whale Rider or What Dreams May Come. I believe spirituality is a personal and private experience, where you have your own relationship with whatever you might call the Divine. You might call this God, but you also might call this spirit, life, the universe or nature. You can be a spiritual person but not be religious, yet I firmly believe that spiritual and religious people have much more in common than they differ.
Has mainstream America been receptive to this spiritual movement? I don’t believe in the word mainstream. To me, it means that entertainment has lost all of its individuality. When you try to attract everybody, you have to be concerned with not offending anybody, and that is not what art and filmmaking is about. Spiritual filmmaking is definitely a niche. We have subscribers in nearly 100 countries around the world and the primary demographic of our audience
tends to be more adult. What we offer strongly appeals to individuals who are looking for this kind of transformative entertainment that both enlightens and allows them to feel better about themselves and the world.
Fabulous F
Which filmmakers are producing films that are right for your audience?
DS
A filmmaker produces a spiritual movie because it’s in his heart and it comes from his soul. We have a number of filmmakers we’ve nurtured whom I think are wonderful. For example, we’ve distributed five films from Santa Fe-based Scott Cervine and four films from Geno Andrews, headquartered in Los Angeles.

When Spiritual Cinema Circle films help our community of viewers feel better about being human, that makes me happy. There is enough media that look at the dark, ugly, negative, violent, greedy sides of humanity, and there is no question that these dark elements seem to be part of human nature. But there’s little light shown on the beautiful side of our nature—the side that consciously evolves, forgives and loves. Spiritual films allow us to look at our humanity when we operate at our best. This is what we look for when qualifying films for the Spiritual Cinema Circle. The films we choose are dramatic and the characters experience difficult challenges, but at the end of the day, there is always transcendence, a powerful transformation and a pathway through whatever the darkness may be. Our hope is that viewers are pleased with our movies and feel better at the end of the film than they did at the start.

Everyone Benefits
CREATIVE
EXPRESSION Instrument of Healing by Mary Beth Maziarz
We all feel drawn by enticing creative projects we’d like to try. Now we know why…

Help for Families
ounting scientific evidence makes it clear that personal creative expression, once perceived as a luxury, sideline or hobby in our busy lives, is in fact a keystone of our most healthy and worthwhile activities. In infinitely varied and pleasurable forms, creative practices can move us beyond artful living to also serve as a vehicle for healing. When we appreciate others’ creativity, or better yet, actively bring creativity to bear in our own experiences, such participation shapes our sense of self and can render physical and emotional benefits. Studies published in Time and MuSICA (Music and Science Information Computer Archive), for example, have shown that music is a powerful ally. Listening and playing music not only helps us manage our moods and emotions, it also works to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, repair and regenerate brain neurons, calm anxiety and regulate heart rate.

Kids clearly benefit from the time they spend on creative pursuits. Beyond being great fun, arts education and creative activities help kids develop confidence and discipline, build mental acuity, increase problem-solving skills and shape more powerful futures. A study done by the University of California-Irvine, for example, proved that an important link exists between exposure to music and human intelligence, stating that, “Music trains the brain for higher forms of thinking.” A concurring report by the American Music Conference concluded that kids who play a musical instrument are 52 percent more likely to go on to college. Today, children who study the arts continue to outperform non-arts students on Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) by an average of 59 points in verbal skills and 44 points in math skills, according to a College Board study compiled in 2001 by the Music Educators National Conference. As well as helping the young to mature, creative outlets help the mature stay young. “A lot of our brain is devoted to movement,” notes Kelly G. Lambert, a professor who chairs the psychology department at Randolph-Macon College, in Ashland, Virginia. “Thus, hobbies and activities that use our hands are engaging in more of our brain’s real estate.” Experts theorize that hands-on activities such as cooking, gardening, making jewelry, crocheting and sculpting may work to enhance mental clarity, because they activate additional parts of the brain. As we age, managing life’s challenges becomes especially important to overall health and well-being. A regular creative practice helps, according to Manhattan psychologist Dr. Joseph Cilona. “Creative activities can be highly beneficial in the management of stress,” he believes, “particularly the stressors associated with chronic life issues, such as coping with physical illness, a demanding job or troublesome relationships.” As a result, he says, “Individuals can experience a decrease in stress, anxiety and uncomfortable physical symptoms and improvement in symptoms of depression.”
Art-based projects open a channel to express difficult feelings and insights. These can be especially helpful for individuals facing conflict or transition, for those recovering from substance abuse and for victims of abuse or trauma. Art therapy—a guided, clinical application of creative practices—is one of therapeutic medicine’s fastest growing fields. “Art therapy enables clients to express themselves non-verbally, allowing for subconscious wounds to be expressed via drawing,

painting, making masks, creative writing and meditation,” observes Candice Christiansen, a licensed professional counselor and clinical director at Journey Healing Centers addiction treatment facilities in Arizona and Utah. “Art therapy gives clients a way to explore their painful histories in a safe, more comfortable forum.” Rachel Brandoff, a licensed art therapist and co-founder of the Creative Arts Therapies Center in New York City remarks, “I’ve seen families be drawn together through their own creativity and develop abilities to overcome difficult and often dividing circumstances. Creativity can foster new ways of thinking that allow individuals to find resourceful new ways of being in their world.”

SAVORING THE SUN Three Ways to Preserve Summer’s Goodness by Judith Fertig
“B
eing a locavore is fabulous if you live somewhere like California,” says Audra Wolfe, a co-founder of Canvolution and an expert food preservationist. “But if you live in the Northeast, unless you learn food preservation, you could be eating local turnips and kale all winter,” she notes with a chuckle. The mounting desire to eat locally grown food, know what’s in our food and reduce our carbon footprint, as well as shrinking household budgets, are contributing to what The New York Times recently cited as a renaissance in home food preservation. “In a time of high food prices, job losses and food safety scares, home canning is booming,” agrees June Taylor, a Berkeley, California, food preservationist. According to Jarden Home Brands, makers of Kerr and Ball brands of glass canning jars, sales of canning equipment were up 30 percent in 2009. The simplest methods for “putting by” food are freezing, refrigerator canning or multi-step water bath canning. Pressure canning, dehydrating and fermenting require special equipment (pressure cookers, dehydrators and large crocks), as well as more advanced knowledge. For most of us, a large pot and some pint-size glass canning jars with lids and metal sealing rings comprise the basic equipment we need to get started.
16
Freezing
Hot Water Bath Canning
Freezing can be as easy as rinsing berries in very cold water, patting them dry, and then placing them on a baking sheet in the freezer until frozen solid. Such quick-frozen berries can then be placed in freezer storage containers and will keep for up to six months. Some foods, like vegetables, need to be blanched first—plunged into boiling water for a minute or two, then shocked in an ice water bath— then allowed to cool before being placed in freezer storage containers. Cooked sauces, salsas and chutneys can simply cool before being frozen and will also taste best when eaten within six months.
Traditional hot water bath canning creates a vacuum within the jar that works to preserve foods. Basically, the food is packed into clean, hot jars that are filled almost up to the top (the amount of headspace between the food and the lid is indicated in the recipe). Then, the filled and sealed jars are processed in a hot water bath for a specified amount of time. When they’re removed from the bath, the lids will pop into place as they cool to complete each jar’s vacuum seal. Food canned this way can be stored on kitchen shelves for up to one year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines. Today, with more cooks, gardeners and foods lovers collectively committed to the revival of the lost art of putting by food, the movement is picking up steam. Canvolution aficionados say that almost half of U.S. canners are now younger than 40.
Refrigerator Canning Because most vegetables have low acid content, which can invite bacteria growth, canning them also involves pickling—adding a vinegary brine to increase the acid level. Refrigerator-pickled cucumbers, Swiss chard stems, green tomatoes, beets and green beans will keep for up to six months if kept covered in pickling brine in the refrigerator.

I
s one person’s trash really another’s treasure? According to a Durham, North Carolina-based arts and crafts store, it is. The Scrap Exchange lets people explore their creativity while helping out the environment. The exchange was founded in 1991 as a sustainable art supply store that takes unwanted materials from businesses and community members and resells them as arts and crafts supplies. Materials sell for 50 to 70 percent off their retail prices, and popular items include paper, fabric, office supplies, marble scraps and CD cases. The idea is to promote environmental awareness and creative expression by providing high-quality, low-cost materials for artists. The Scrap Exchange also provides an in-house art gallery to show off the work of local artists who turn recycled

& CRAFTS
materials into crafts such as handmade bags, metal sculptures and jewelry. Classes in artistic skills like quilting and collage also are available. Plus, the store offers children’s birthday parties that give kids a chance to invent fun projects with their friends while teaching them about taking care of the planet. The Resource Center in Chicago is another nonprofit organization that
is encouraging creative repurposing of materials. Its Creative Reuse Warehouse (CRW) finds and recovers rejected items and byproducts that local businesses treat as waste. They donate these materials to Chicago area schools, service organizations, performance companies and individual artists. It’s a win-win situation for the CRW’s donors and recipients—donors get a tax deduction and recipients obtain materials to teach classes and create artwork that they may not have been able to afford otherwise. Similar programs are available throughout the country. The Scroungers’ Center for Reusable Art Parts has graced San Francisco since the 1970s; participants learn about different crafts and art techniques in its unique workshops. Creative Reuse Pittsburgh, a relative newcomer, collects reusable discards from businesses and other organizations in its region, offers hands-on creative arts programs and hosts booths at local arts festivals. Add up the mental, emotional, social and environmental benefits of artful hours used to turn trash into treasure and the lure of time well-spent at a creative reuse center is nearly irresistible.

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in. ~ B.K.S Iyengar

Seane Corn, a yoga superstar featured on magazine covers and Oprah.com, has been practicing yoga for 23 years and teaching for well over a decade. She has also taken her yoga “off the mat,” inspiring activism and raising funds for programs around the world that serve at-risk youth and AIDS/HIV treatment and prevention. Natural Awakenings asked this renowned teacher to share her advice on choosing a style of yoga and creating a home practice. orn observes that personality may initially predispose a student to prefer one style of yoga over another. “For example, the style of yoga I teach is Vinyasa, a fluid form of yoga,” she says. “It tends to draw people who are more athletic and perhaps more goal-oriented or selfcompetitive—those who prefer a practice that feels more like a workout.” This style of so-called flow yoga can also be very emotionally therapeutic, she adds. Students who want to try more vigorous yoga styles like Vinyasa or Ashtanga should have a basic understanding of how to build yoga asanas (postures), integrate the breath and work with their body’s flexibility. “In my dream world, students would know that there are techniques they need to understand before they approach a more challenging or fluid practice,” says Corn. “That would mean either going to a very beginner-level class or an Iyengar class. For some students, that may feel too slow, but it’s providing the appropriate information that’s going to give them longevity in their practice.” Likewise, she recommends Iyengar if an individual is recovering from an injury. Without proper technique, students can compromise their knees, lower backs and necks, Corn counsels. She explains that while Iyengar is quite a methodical and precise style for teaching fundamentals, styles like Kripalu, characterized as “meditation in motion,” can be more forgiving. Once people begin to practice, physical and life
Greater Cincinnati Edition
changes may lead to the exploration of other styles. This is true for Corn, who has studied many traditions over the years. “When I was younger, I wouldn’t have considered an Iyengar or a Kripalu class,” she recalls. “It was only Ashtanga or Vinyasa. Now that I’m in my 40s—or even back in my 30s—I’ve wanted a deeper practice that has more space and more areas of stillness and connection, which seems to match my growth as a person.” For those who are grounded in yoga fundamentals and want a home practice, Corn recommends setting aside 30 minutes to an hour at least three days a week. “If you have a halfhour, I would recommend 10 minutes of sun salutes, 10 minutes of standing poses and 10 minutes of backbends, forward bends and a resting pose.” Turn off phones and other distractions, she advises, and focus. The more sacred, intentional and meaningful a home practice is, the more likely one is to regard it as more than an exercise routine. “I set up an altar with things that are important to me,” remarks Corn. “When I put my palms together, I’ll set an intention and ask Spirit that the practice be a reflection of my devotion, a dedication to something greater than myself.” At 43, Corn credits her yoga practice and diet (avoiding meat, fish, dairy, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and chemical additives) with maintaining her good health. “My bones are strong, my muscles and joints are quite supple, and my hormonal system is in really good shape,” she reports. “I don’t have PMS or other [premenopausal] symptoms and my skin looks good and clear. More importantly, I’m just very comfortable in my body and confident on my feet.” As with any physical undertaking, anyone with a pre-existing injury or medical condition should consult a doctor before beginning a yoga practice. Corn advises students to, “Find a teacher who can meet you where you are.” Once on the mat, she says, explore what feels right and allow your practice to evolve as you do.

STEP UP TO The Full Art Spectrum Is for Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky artists of all types: painters, dancers, musicians, poets, and more, who come together every month to discuss artwork and also create public events filled with collaborative works. Our goal is to bring regional artists of any skill level (novice or professional) in a peerbased atmosphere of cooperation and appreciation. This piece was the combined effort of three artists working together, Roy W Jones (www.theCreativeRoy), Jason T Ott (www.JasonTravisOtt.com), and Chad Rassmussen (www.pjasmfineart. com) for the Jazz Collaborative Event held at Coffee Emporium on July 30th. The first artist started the piece off with a colorful background and handed it to the next. Each artist worked independently with no discussion of intent or desired outcome. This is just one of many collaborative works The Full Art Spectrum created. Their next public event will be Saturday Oct 23rd at Baker Hunt Arts & Cultural Center. They meet once a month every third Saturday of the month starting at 7pm. Visit their website FullArtSpectrum.org for information on how to join up or contact them.

sure to monitor the water temperature. In warm months, bathing the dog outside means less mess and a shorter drying time. “I set the nozzle to mist and let the water fall onto the dog’s body,” he advises. “This helps his body more easily acclimate to the cooler water temperature.” Take your time: Some dogs just don’t like bath time, no matter how much you coax or cajole or crank up your temper. To handle fussy dogs, apply plenty of patience. It also helps to have a few of the animal’s favorite treats on hand. In working with bath-shy dogs, this professional groomer finds that gentle and slow is the way to go. Regardless of how messy the process gets, avoid getting excess water in the dog’s ear canal, because it can lead to ear infections. Bryant recommends drying the dog completely before cleaning its ears. Use an ear cleaner with a drying solution to remove wax or debris. Don’t neglect the paws: Keep nails trimmed regularly. Bryant notes that many pet owners are anxious about clipping a pet’s nails and fear accidentally cutting off too much. He suggests seeking professional advice. Ask your groomer or vet assistant for a five-minute lesson on the finer points of using pet nail clippers to deliver a clean cut. It can save a lot of anxiety. Longhaired dogs also need the hair trimmed between their paw pads. “Most people have hardwood or tile floors, and it can be difficult for a dog to get around on those hard surfaces if their hair is too long,” he cautions. Use a good shampoo, followed by a thorough rinse: A dog’s skin has a different pH level than ours, so avoid using human hair care products. Instead, Bryant suggests selecting sham-
poos that contain oatmeal or tea tree oil, which address a range of skin issues and have soothing properties, and follow with a good rinse. “Remember, the most important part of any doggie bath is to thoroughly rinse all shampoo from the dog’s body,” he says. Conditioner is not essential unless the pet has long hair or is prone to matting. Dogs with long hair also need a good combing while the fur is still damp; otherwise, they are ready for a thorough rubdown with a thick towel. Finally, a gentle doggie massage helps end bath time on a soothing note. It pays to hire pros: Getting your dog groomed can be a costly investment, but the price includes more than a fluff and cut. “Each time your pet is professionally groomed, he is actually examined from head to toe,” Bryant reports. “I have discovered teeth problems, joint problems, and hair and skin problems that many of my clients never would have noticed.” Morieka V.

FUN FALL MIGRATIONS A PERFECT FAMILY FIELD TRIP by Martin Miron
Making Plans First, pick a destination. A little research may reveal that you live close to a place where butterflies congregate, birds flock or the antelope play. Start with likely local sources of information like a nature center or county extension service, or even parks and recreation staff, for news of animal activity close to home. The Internet is a great resource to tap into the big picture of animal migrations. Good places to look include the nonprofit World Wildlife Fund (WorldWildlife.org; enter “migration” in the Search Site box), the U.S. Fish

his year, why not make the most of a long weekend by taking the family on a short trip designed to give kids a new, vibrant connection to nature? Everywhere across North America, birds, insects, animals and sea life are repeating their annual rituals of migration, a vital call of the wild that has been enriching life on Earth since long before humans appeared on the scene. This outing doesn’t have to mean sacrifice, either; you can still visit Aunt Stella or go waterskiing. Planning ahead makes it possible to include unforgettable memories of wildlife in action, as adventurous observations of the animals create family lore, educate and perhaps, bring life lessons.

Every year, starting in October, a spectacular congregation of 25,000 monarch butterflies takes place in Pacific Grove, outside of San Francisco. The overwintering insects’ habits are so reliable that the city calls itself, “Butterfly Town, USA,” and levies a fine for bothering the bugs. Each fall in Ohio, huge flocks of southbound shorebirds put on a show in several areas along Lake Erie known for superior viewing. Observation points include the Magee Marsh State Wildlife Area and Ottawa Wildlife Refuge, both part of a national Regional Shorebird Reserve, as well the Kildeer Plains and Big Island wildlife areas further inland. Seasonal residents in Florida aren’t called “snowbirds” for nothing. This subtropical peninsula is either a destination or way station for hundreds of migrating species. Fish, too, perform their own annual odyssey. Down in the Florida Keys, sailfish, grouper, kingfish and cobia are around in the fall and winter that you won’t catch in the summertime.

These splendid animals, along with elk, pronghorn antelope, mule deer and bighorn sheep, undergo an annual altitudinal migration among mountain foothills in the face of winter’s arrival. They do it not so much because of the temperature change, but the impending scarcity of food. Park rangers can tell you the best spots to observe this vanishing phenomenon.
