“
was born in Madrid, Spain in 1961, where my artist parents, Diane and Gregory Saint-Thomas loved the warm Spanish family-oriented people and their history, and then we lived in Paris, France for six years, reveling in the French culture and art. But, it is in Holland where I fell in love with trees. Living in Limburg, the southernmost province of the Netherlands, in the tiny hamlet of Valkenburg, our house was surrounded by miles of protected sanctuary. There, as a young child, I explored forest paths for seven years, drawing trees in my sketchbook and imaging myself a nomad in a mystical realm.

In the winter of 1975 I moved to Utah. Here, in Utah, my love of trees has deepened. With every hike that I embark on with my husband and our dogs, I learn to see anew., spellbound by tortured beauty in a gnarled tree trunk, a grass clump webbed in raindrops, a stray curled leaf—revealing as much beauty in death as in life, tree roots grasping into earth as if it were their only way to prevent them from flying skyward—their limbs stretched outward to each other in a dance. Just as the Pando, located in southern Utah, is the heaviest known living organism on the earth, due to the thousands of Aspen trees that are connected in one massive root system—so are we, the human race connected to one another. It is my art that roots me to this life. I hope my paintings bring you a sense of wonder and joy. “ —Stephanie Stephanie Saint-Thomas is among the invited artists in the 22nd annual “Art in Pilar’s Garden” this year.

ou’ll find a small gardening story in this issue that is really about optimism and sharing: “The Gifts That Grew,” p. 14. The idea came from contemplating my sea of houseplants and realizing how many of them came as cuttings from other people’s plants. A few of my garden perennials, too, came by way of a friend’s backyard.

I have a wonderful, fragrant old rose that came from Westminster biology professor emeritus Ty Harrison; the rose bush has grown on his family’s property in old Sandy for generations. And for maybe 20 years, now, one of its scions has sprawled across a fence near my back door. It’s definitely from another era; I respect this plant a lot. Maybe five years ago I admired a type of geranium I’d never seen before on the porch of a house where I was attending a yard sale. The woman, whom I didn’t know, gave me a cutting. In the course of the ensuing conversation, turns out she had gotten the plant from my friend Garrett. In 1978 I moved to Utah with a jade plant start taken from my friend Kate's plant, which I had originally given to her in 1972. The start became a plant and now, 38 years later, it is still going strong. Here’s a really convoluted slip of a story: In the mid-’80s my friend Michaela gave me a piece of an interesting plant; we didn’t know what it was. It rooted and grew. After 25 years in the same pot and the same window, it was massive, spindly and very dusty; it had ceased to, in the words of Marie Kondo, “spark joy.” In 2015, Alice Toler identified it as an Epiphyllum pumilum, which, treated right, makes fragrant blossoms. She rescued and resuscitated it, making many more Epiphyllum pumilums, and last year gifted a healthy baby back to me.
EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
W
hile editing Ben Bombard’s “So You Want to Learn to Fish” (page 10), I recalled a memory from when I was maybe two: My dad was a fisherman, and the freezer always contained half-gallon wax milk cartons full of his catch. He cleaned the fish with a flat stick to which he’d nailed bottle caps, fluted side up. He’d say this little poem to me: Fishy fishy in the brook, Papa catch’em on the hook; Mama fry’em in the pan; Baby eat’em like a man. I thought it was the funniest thing. I looked up the words right now; the rhyme goes back at least to 1868, from a book Our Young Folks. At some point I must have cajoled Dad into taking me fishing because I viscerally understood Ben’s description of casting a rod and the sensation of reeling in a reluctant catch. I also have a vague recollection of positioning a nightcrawler onto a hook. That cured me of the urge to fish, and also paved the way to a future appreciation of vermiculture (composting with worms ). Once, as an adult, I fished at dusk in some lake in the Uintas. It was a camping date. Mosquitoes ate us alive, but they also made the fish lively. We cooked our catch in foil. We’d forgotten the salt and pepper but had plenty of butter. Those small trout who had so recently given up the ghost were the most delicious thing ever.
K
atherine Pioli profiles Brian Kelm and the upcoming blues festival: “Kelm at the Helm” (page 12). He mentions the Dead Goat Saloon, a notoriously great downtown basement bar from yesteryear, with real blues musicians. Brian regularly used to broadcast his KRCL “Red, White and Blues” show live from the Dead Goat. My friends and I would dance and dance, have a beer and dance some more. One night there was a woman there, maybe 10 years older than me, going by her hair and makeup. Blue eyeshadow. And dance moves that were, um, a bit outdated. Feeling embarrassed for her, I made a mental note: Don’t become that woman. I cringe with shame, remembering this. The truth, of course, is that secretly I worried I was becoming her. I would‘ve been more humble, had I been wiser. She would be ancient now (when you’re 20, “ancient” means 30. When you’re 60, it’s 70.) But I hope I see her, blue lids and all, doing her silly ‘60s dance steps at the blues festival downtown this month. I’ll be right behind her, grinning my head off and dancing like it’s 1970-something. ◆

Lap dancers You say sugar daddy, I say sugar daddies BY JOHN DEJONG
I
n the ever more interesting race for Utah’s governorship, Gary Herbert has labeled Republican primary opponent Jonathan Johnson’s generous friend and boss Patrick Byrne a sugar daddy. Herbert was defending himself to reporters in the wake of his “Available Jones” comments before the Utah Taxpayers Association at the Alta Club in May, where he offered to sit down with anyone willing to pony up $1,500 for his gubernatorial campaign. In the world of abnormal relationships, one sugar daddy is a sugar daddy. Multiple sugar daddies are called customers and you’re pulling a train. Herbert’s campaign pointed out that Johnson is Byrne’s registered lobbyist, implying that Johnson is just Byrne’s sock puppet. But whose sock puppet is Herbert? Rather than $600,000

...because once per month is NOT enough!
from one source, Herbert raised the same amount in one recent month, including a 12 checks for $25,000 each. One hand in the sock puppet, many hands in the sock puppet. I don’t see much of a difference. If Herbert is willing to sit down with anyone for a mere $1,500, what is he willing to do to entertain anyone who donates $25,000? Friend them on Facebook? Invite them to the next campaign fundraiser? How much of a sit-down does $1,500 buy, anyway? Followers of Li’l Abner will know that for 10 cents, Available Jones barely listens, yawns in your face and the cheap advice you get will do more harm than good. But for 50 cents, he listens politely to every word, gives you surefire advice, addresses you as Miss or Mister and wears a snappy seersucker jacket. For an extra nickel, he’ll even wear a silk hat. For those of
you following the fashion statements of this election cycle, Herbert has been spotted wearing a dashing blue silk neckerchief. He must have been talking to some really good friends. The perverse economies of scale of post-Citizens United political campaign funding raise their ugly hydra heads. At $1,500 a pop, Herbert would have to meet with 400 contributors to raise $600,000. Allowing for five minutes between visits, that’s a cumulative 133 solid hours of chat time. The eyes glaze over at the thought. How does Herbert find the time to do anything else?

ever becomes illegal. Which isn’t very likely in this state. One solution to the problem of politicians being unduly influenced by their campaign contributors? All contributions could be blind, with the donors’ identities unknown to politicians. But that’s not very likely, is it. I should have gone to Governor Herbert’s energy development summit at Grand America last month to see who was purchasing audiences with his governorship. But the thought of seeing democracy being sold out by the yard made my necrodemocrophobia relapse. It was like I was back on the Salt Lake City School Board

That would be convenient, since donating while the legislature is in session is illegal. Meeting with once and future contributors isn’t illegal, as long as no palms are crossed with silver. And, if the intention to contribute in the future can be conveyed with a wink and a nod, so much the better. That isn’t illegal, either, and difficult to prove if it

watching the Utah legislature twist every principle of democracy beyond recognition for the benefit of their “principles” and campaign contributors at the expense of their constituents and our school children. Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox, who has been covering two bases—first, performing Herbert’s gubernatorial duties when Herbert has more important things to do and, second, oversee-

ing Utah elections—declined to investigate Herbert, perhaps because he was in the room when Herbert made his “Available Jones” comment, going so far as to be caught on the recording saying “This isn’t ‘Come give us a check and we’ll take care of your issue.’” He may have been aware that the proceedings were still being recorded. As there was no accompanying video, we don’t know if Cox’s comment was delivered with a wink and a nod or in all sincerity. But if there ever was a case of a Cox guarding the whorehouse, this is it. Other than the sugar daddy tack against Johnson, Herbert’s main defense of his “Available Jones” comment was that the optics were bad. Bad optics is a brand marketing term that means the dog shit is spilling out of the beautifully designed packaging. The Associated Press version of the “Available Jones” story made local television newscasts across the country. Strangely, an early Google search brought up the AP story in conjunction with national weather maps. Either the local stations couldn’t get good photos of Herbert or the story ran next to the local weather. Anyway, Utah, in the minds of viewers across the country, is now the state with the governor from Dog Patch. Talk about bad optics! ◆ John deJong is the associate publisher of CATALYST.

Lake Powell pipeline boondoggle exposed
Save our vultures! Shortly after Easter I was pleased to see the first turkey vultures of the year. Utah’s migratory vultures winter in Mexico and Central America. Vultures perform a critical ecosystem service by eating dead things, but a new study by University of Utah biologists says that vulture species around the world are declining and are on the brink of extinction. The problem is, vultures are being poisoned by agricultural chemicals and lead bullets. Without vultures, crows, rats and feral dogs proliferate, spreading disease to human populations. The good news is, we know the causes of vulture decline so we have a chance to save our vultures before it’s too late.

Great Salt Lake Issues The Great Salt Lake Issues Forum, held every other year by Friends of Great Salt Lake, brings together scientists, government agencies, business, recreation and conservation interests to discuss the complex environmental, social and political issues surrounding our beloved big, stinky lake. With Great Salt Lake at historically low levels, the takeaway from the May 2016 conference: It’s far better (and cheaper) to avoid destroying the lake ecosystem in the first place than to try to repair damage after the fact. Major themes from the conference were: • Great Salt Lake birds are not “Utah” birds but are global flocks that migrate across the whole hemisphere. Without Great Salt Lake habitat, entire species of migrating shorebirds could collapse. • Dewatering is the greatest threat to the lake. The proposed Bear River development is a particularly malign threat. • We can learn from the history of
other saline lakes, in particular Owens Lake and Mono Lake in California. Not only is dewatering devastating for birds that depend on habitat, dust blowing off of a dry lake bed creates serious (and expensive) air pollution problems. • Other threats to Great Salt Lake include the West Davis Corridor freeway expansion, prison relocation into Great Salt Lake wetlands, airport expansion and the U.S. Magnesium Superfund site in Tooele County. • Underlying all other issues is the prediction of population growth for the state. Unfortunately, planning agencies tend to assume that people will continue to be as wasteful of resources as we are today and to undervalue wildlife, recreation and ecosystem services. Friends of Great Salt Lake: FOGSL.ORG
West Davis Corridor rejects Shared Solution Well, at least we tried. The West Davis Corridor is a proposal for a freeway expansion that would slice through human communities and Great Salt Lake bird habitat at Farmington Bay. The Shared Solution Coalition proposed a no-build option, but it has been rejected by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) because it “will not meet the transportation need in the study area.” The tragedy is that new freeways always generate new traffic and new development so the ever-expanding “need” can never be met. While other cities are taking out freeways to promote more beneficial land use, UDOT keeps building more big roads. On the plus side, UDOT has agreed to adopt some of the suggestions from the Shared Solution plan including trails, noise-reducing pavement and dark sky lighting.
In the case of the proposed Lake Powell Pipeline, the cost of continuing to squander water at current levels means a 500% increase in water rates for people in St. George, according to an economic analysis. Implausibly, the Washington County Water District has claimed that the cost of the billion dollar-plus pipeline project could be repaid with a mere 28% water rate increase—a huge discrepancy. When Utah Rivers Council (URC) asked to see this financial plan, the District claimed it was unavailable. However, URC produced a screenshot from a YouTube video of a public meeting showing a slide of the financial plan. As Zach Frankel, executive director of URC says, “They haven’t been truthful about the impacts to Washington County taxpayers and it’s time to stop pretending they have a plan to pay for the billions in new debt they are proposing to spend for a water project no one needs.”
public lands conservation. The book is modeled on a collection, Testmony: Writers Speak on Behalf of Utah Wilderness that was published in 1996. The new chapbook is the seed of a larger project called Red Rock Stories, an online publication for writers to publish and share creative responses to Utah’s inspiring landscape.

Bears Ears gains in public approval The more Utah citizens learn about the proposal to designate a Bears Ears National Monument in southern Utah, the more they seem to like the idea. Recent polling shows public approval for the monument at 71%. However the mere idea has sent Utah legislators into an anti-federal government frenzy. On May 18, the Utah Legislature called a special session to denounce the Bears Ears proposal as “egregious federal overreach” and a threat to no less than “life, liberty and happiness.” During discussion, anti monument lawmakers indicated they believe President Obama is planning to designate three new monuments in Utah under the Antiquities Act.

Terry Tempest Williams parts ways with U of U Terry Tempest Williams, Utah’s best known environmental writer, left her faculty position in the University of Utah Environmental Humanities Program after what she called “painful and humiliating” negotiations and a lack of transparency. In a resignation letter that she made public, Williams said she believes her dismissal was related to her purchase of BLM Oil and Gas leases on February 16, 2016. She intended to use the leases as part of a student project to explore the implications of public lands energy development. “Life surprises us,” she wrote. “One bold action sets other actions in motion. In the end, both our BLM decision and my decision to leave the University of Utah are decisions about energy: how we choose to define it, where we feel we receive energy and where we feel energy is being drained. For me, it is not about money or security. It is about what feels right. I am paying attention and not only trusting my heart, but following it. It is not without sadness.” ◆ Amy Brunvand is a librarian at the J. Willard Marriott Library where she specializes in government information.

How to Write Gooder BY DENNIS HINKAMP
I
’ve no doubt had reader’s block, but I’ve seldom had writer’s block. As a friend reminded me, “Mechanics and plumbers can’t say they are blocked; they just do it.” Of course, I could retort that mechanics and plumbers charge $80/hour and nobody complains. Increasingly writers are being replaced by bloggers who often are to writing what the tambourine is to a symphony. That said, let me give you some sage advice even if you didn’t ask for it. Writing is still a physical act. Runners don’t get better by drinking, napping, sailing or chanting. Runners do better at running by running. Similarly, you actually have to physically practice writing. You have to warm up your fingers and clear the neural pathways that connect your brain box to your fingertips. Next, you have to connect to the keyboard, which, in turn, connects to the computer. I’ve known a few writers who could dictate into a recorder or write out longhand on paper; I just don’t see how you could get any rhythm going. Part of the writing process, for me, is the keyboard noise feedback, just like breathing and footfalls are feedback for runners. The newer computers and pads seem to want to take this noise out of the equation so they can appear more elegant. It doesn’t work. Unplug that Bluetooth thing and get a cheap, clattering, wobbly keyboard. Okay, this just might be an age thing. Yes, I did start (though only briefly) on a manual. I had a sadistic Journalism 101 instructor who insisted it built character. If you have ever seen my deformed pinky fingers you would understand how difficult it was to push down those outer keys. Be creative and correct, but not at the same time. It is the rare person who can spew out perfect grammar, spelling and punctuation while writing creatively. Don’t even try to do this. There are at least two malevolent beings vying for control inside your cranium. One is an eager-to-please grammarian; the other is a petulant child who wants to use every crayon in the box. The two do not play well together so only bring one out at a time; preferably the petulant child first. Spell check, auto correct and Google have made it a lot easier for people like me to get by on limited technical skills. [Ed. note: And there’s still work left for me.] Originality is mostly an illusion. You don’t have to be completely original; you just have to not plagiarize. As long as you aren’t cutting and pasting from someone else’s work there is nothing wrong with riffing on public domain ideas. Watch three to five comedy shows on any given night and you will hear many similar jokes. There are only so many riffs off Trump’s hair and small hands available to the human imagination. I used to go libraries and bookstores and be overwhelmed by the number of books and just figure there could not possibly be a way to put together words in different way. If this were true, writers would have given up writing about the time the Gutenberg press was invented. Now we have Kindle, and the original sentence is still possible. ◆ Dennis Hinkamp believes words on a page are still the foundation of communication.

Where would you like to fish?
So you want to learn to fish
Some basics to lure you into the world of catch, cook and eat BY BENJAMIN BOMBARD
F
riday nights when I was a kid, my dad and I would go out in the backyard, turn on the hose and flood a patch of lawn in the shade of the house. Hours later, we’d scan the ground with a flashlight looking for shiny, slithering earthworms to use as fishing bait. The next day, before
Like growing and eating your own veggies, there’s a deep sense of pride and know-how that comes with gathering your own fishy protein. the sun was up, we’d jump in the car and head to a nearby reservoir. My worm box in the trunk of the car, snugged up against a loaded tackle box, our rods and reels geared for action. For many reasons, fishing has electrified me since I was young. It’s the challenge of the chase. It’s the thrill of a fish suddenly taking the bait and tugging at the end of the line. It’s peaceful time spent outdoors at the water’s edge. And it’s the rewards of a skill that enhances my self-sufficiency and puts delectable food on the table for my family and me. Like growing and eating your own veggies, there’s a deep sense of pride
and know-how that comes with gathering your own fishy protein. And like gardening, there’s a lot to learn when you start fishing. My dad taught me how to tie a hook on, how to rig a bobber and weights, how to hook the worm just so, and how to properly cast. He taught me how to avoid snagging my bait or lure on lake and river bottoms, how to reel in a fish without breaking my line, and he demonstrated the proper way to kill and gut a fish. No amount of written instruction can replace the experience gained and connections made by learning how to fish from another person. Thanks largely to my dad, who taught me the basics at a young age, I’ve been a fisherman nearly my whole life. The finer points I picked up through trial and error and by talking to other fishermen. That said, it’s never too late to learn.
Getting started The first lesson is this old chestnut: Fishing isn’t just about catching fish. You probably already know and well appreciate that the journey is less about the destination than the path, and fishing, it often turns out, really is more about the fishing than the fish. Be that as it may, when you do catch a fish, you’ll likely discover that fishing’s one mighty fine expedition. If you’re in search of fish for the dinner table, trout, catfish, and perch are your best quarry. They’re reliably found in Utah’s freshwater lakes or streams. However, I suggest you focus your early fishing efforts on catching trout. Delicious and abundant, they’re found in waters in every corner of Utah—even Liberty Park Pond—and the skills you gain in fishing for trout will carry over to your pursuit of any other fish.
recommends, but this selection will give you ample options for landing fishing on both rivers and lakes.
Fishing for trout can be as simple as a worm on a hook. It does take a day or two to develop the right casting technique, especially with the spinning reel I suggest you use, but after that, you’re good to go wherever the fish are.
Gearing up First thing you’ll need, of course, is a rod and reel. There are a lot of options, but I suggest you pick up a rod and reel combo-package with a medium-sized open-faced spinning reel that can run 4pound test fishing line paired with a sixto seven-foot medium-lite action twopiece fiberglass or fiberglass/graphite rod. All this information is printed on the underside of the rod, near the handle. This setup will run you about $50. Grab a package of 4-pound test line, which is ideal for catching delicious trout, and which a helpful employee will sling onto your rod—don’t try to load the line onto the reel yourself; a package or two of size 8 and 10 snelled hooks, a package of size 8 or 10 snap swivels, a couple bobbers, and a puck of variously sized split shot lead weights. As for bait and lures, you could do worse than to procure your own earthworms like my dad and I did in the backyard. I also suggest picking up a jar of stink-tastic Berkley Powerbait (I prefer the orange color), a jar of fiery-red salmon eggs, and an assortment of fishing lures. Every angler has his go-to favorites and you’ll eventually have yours, too. I’ve had solid results around here with gold 1/6th oz Acme Kastmasters, 1/6th oz gold-with-red-dots Jake’s Li’l Jake, Jake’s Wobblers in yellow with red dots, and #1 gold Mepps with either a straight gold spoon or one with red dots. Of course, you can just ask the Bubba at the sportsman’s store what he
If, like me, you suffer from a congenital case of ants-in-the-pants syndrome, stream and river fishing might be your thing. When fishing rivers, you often employ a lure meant to imitate fish prey, usually a smaller fish. You cast the lure in a generally downstream direction and reel it back in against the pull of the water. You do this over and over again, working your way up and down the river, hopefully catching a fish every once in a while. Fishing ponds and lakes is often a more restful pursuit. While lure fishing isn’t out of the question, especially if you’ve got a boat, it’s more common that a fisherman casts a baited hook out into the water hoping a hungry fish swims by to gobble it up. The idle time between bites can be considerable. Most sportsman’s shops have display boards with fishing reports from local lakes and rivers. Sure, you can, try your luck and just head out to Wherever Reservoir, especially if fishing isn’t about catching fish for you. Strawberry, East Canyon, Rockport, Deer Creek, and Jordanelle Reservoirs all offer decent lake fishing within an hour’s drive of Salt Lake City, and when the thaw comes, the Uintas’ lakes and streams are a fisherman’s paradise. The Utah Department of Wildlife Resources keeps fish well stocked in a number of community ponds in Salt Lake County, including Cove Pond, Midas Pond and Willow Park Pond. Nevertheless, your chances of landing fish will improve significantly if you head to some water currently experiencing good fish-

GOV/HOTSPOTS—note what kind of fish people are catching, what kind of lure or bait they’re having success with, and where the fishing is best. All the gear and info you’ve picked up should outfit you to catch trout in a variety of environments, from deep lakes to shallow, quick-running streams. One more thing: you need to get a fishing license. You can purchase one at
any sportsman’s or grocery store. The Utah Department of Wildlife Resources also has developed a handy app on which you can both purchase and display your license. You’re also responsible for knowing and following the state’s fishing regulations, so bone up on those by picking up the latest guidebook when you buy a license.
Tying the knot Before you even think about heading out the door to go fishing, I suggest you familiarize yourself with your fishing gear and a critically important knot. If it isn’t already assembled, put your fishing rod and reel together. Guide the tip of the fishing line through the rod’s guides—the progressively smaller eyelets—and tie a swivel onto the end of the line using a Pitzen knot, also called the Eugene bend. If your knots aren’t tied well you can count on losing not just fish, but also valuable fishing tackle. With a swivel tied onto the line and a split shot weight clipped just above it, you’re ready to try casting. In all likelihood, your first few times casting a rod won’t be pretty. I like to grip the rod and reel with my pinky tucked behind the reel’s support arm. To cast, use your index finger to reach for the line running out from the reel up along the rod and pinch the line against the rod; flip open the reel’s
bail arm; take the rod back and up, almost like you’re throwing a baseball, and swing the whole works forward, more with your shoulder than your arm, releasing the line with your index finger at the proper moment. There’s real art in a proper cast, and you’ll feel it when it’s right. It’s like riding a bike: kids learn how to do it everyday, and once you learn how, you never forget.
Time to fish The most dedicated fishermen wake up well before the crack of dawn to get to the lake before the sun rises. Like many animals, fish feed most actively in moderate weather: not too hot, not too windy, and definitely not too sunny. You can hit some good fishing in the evening, but you’ll find the most success—and the most peace, quiet, and solitude— fishing in the morning on placid days. If you have to travel an
Most cities in Utah that have Community Fisheries also sponsor a youth fishing club. Youth fishing clubs are open to children 6 to 13 years old. Clubs generally meet once a week for six weeks. The children spend the first 30 minutes of each two-hour class learning about fish, where they live, and how to catch them. Then, adult volunteers help the kids use their new skills to catch fish. Adult volunteers make the clubs possible. The clubs will Luc Pottorff teaching the finer points of hook extraction only be formed if enough adults to Max Mottonen sign up to help.

feed and try to cast at them. Most of the time, finding fish is a guessing game with some clues given by nature. Structures in the water—rocks, weeds, logs, and underwater ledges—provide ideal fish habi-
tat. On rivers, look for patches of calmer water in the midst of more tumultuous currents. And again, don’t be afraid to ask for advice from other anglers. The forums at UTAHWILDLIFE.NET are a great place to get some pointers and maybe find a fishing buddy. When fishing with bait like worms, Powerbait, or salmon eggs, especially in large bodies of water, you want to rig your line so as to dangle the bait in the water at the same depth as the fish. The bobber on your line floats on top of the water, and dangling beneath that is
your baited hook. You can definitely land fish in lakes using lures, but they really shine in the river. Depending on the weight of the lure you’re using, you may or may not need to snug a lead weight onto the line. To get the most action out of a lure, cast your line downstream past your intended target, and reel it back in. With any luck you’ll drag the lure past a waiting and hungry fish. It’s much easier to see fish in a river, especially with a decent pair of polarized sunglasses and an elevated vantage point.

Kelm at the helm KRCL’s blues man’s gift to our community for 36 years and counting BY KATHERINE PIOLI
Katherine Pioli
I
n the cockpit-like control room at the KRCL studio, Brian Kelm, surrounded by buttons, levers, microphones, screens, dials and wavering needles, is hard at work. It’s Monday night and the host of Red, White & Blues has five minutes left before he goes live on air. KRCL, 90.9FM, is a community-supported radio station airing local and syndicated public affairs programming and music. “We used to have just a cassette player and a reel-to-reel tape player,” Kelm says. He’s been a KRCL community DJ for 36 years, likely making him the longest-lasting unpaid blues programming host in the nation. Over the course of almost four decades he’s seen plenty of changes. “It’s all the computers we use now that are the big difference,” he says. “When I started, the training was literally five or 10 minutes, now you have to sit through days of training.” Kelm got his start in radio soon after moving to Utah from the Twin Cities (St. Paul and Minneapolis). A University of Utah freshman studying journalism and mass communications at the time, Kelm was in class on only his second day when
a professor mentioned the launch of a new station called KRCL. An avid blues fan, he wondered if there might be a place for him at the new station. It may seem odd to have a blues fan from Minnesota, but Kelm insists that, while everyone thinks of Chicago first when they think of the blues, Minnesota,
Minnesota, the home of Prince and Dylan, was also a hotspot for funk and blues in the ’70s and ’80s. the home of Prince and Bob Dylan, was also a hotspot for funk and blues in the ’70s and ’80s. “I was already listening to blues at maybe 10 years old, flipping through my older brother’s albums at home,” recalls Kelm. “I didn’t know the men on the covers, but their sound resonated with me.”
Later, when Kelm started listening to rock and roll, he was surprised to find the same names from his brother’s albums in the song credits for bands like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. “British rock bands of that time were discovering black American music,” he says, “and selling it back to us, teaching us about our own culture.” As a teenager, hooked on the blues, Kelm and his buddies began sneaking into a downtown club at night, a place owned by a friend’s uncle, where they listened to their idols, Muddy Waters, B.B. King and others, play live. In the spring of 1980, a few months after the launch of KRCL, Kelm decided to pay the station a visit. “I told them I liked blues music,” he says, “and they asked what I was doing the next evening.” Kelm was given the slot for the last program of the night, during which he’d spend hours spinning his favorite records till he decided to shut the station down. “Sometimes I’d keep the music going till two in the morning,” recalls Kelm. “Sometimes, if I had a test or something to study for, I’d quit at 11.” At that
time the station was located above Cosmic Aeroplane Books on First South [see CATALYST,. July 2014]. “Unable to afford a car, I crammed blues LPs and cassettes in my U of U book bag and rode my bike to the station for the first year or two—rain, sleet or snow.” The show was dubbed “The Great Basin Blues” program. In 1990, it morphed into the "Red White and Blues” and Truman Wold took the reins for a summer when Kelm visited Alaska. These days, of course, KRCL runs a much tighter ship. After quickly finishing the fast food burrito he’d grabbed on the way to the studio and pulling out his first music set from the shelves of cds, Kelm watches the giant clock on the wall for the numbers to hit 8:00:00 p.m. and he pushes play on the first track, Chicago blues man Mike Wheeler. Like an octopus, he spins from the turntables, three CD players, the control board in front of him, and four computer screens to his right, rapidly entering details about the track being played for mandatory radio reporting requirements. It’s easy to see that Kelm’s two jobs, his night gig as a DJ and his day job as a disabilities and worker’s compensation attorney, have a similar pace. “They can both be frantic and stressful,” says Kelm. “DJing can be fun, but I plan my vacations around this show. Some days I’d really rather be where you are, just sitting back and enjoying this music, but I do it because I believe that it’s got to be done and there haven’t been other people asking to take it over.” Even outside of the studio, Kelm’s passion and advocacy for the blues continues. As the president of the Utah Blues Society, Kelm heads the group’s annual fundraiser, the Utah Blues Festival. Only in its second year, the blues fest is already attracting headlining entertainment. This year’s line-up includes blues guitarists Toronzo Cannon, Bernard Allison (the son of blues legend Luther Allison) and Ronny Baker Brooks (son of legend Lonnie Brooks). “The initial incarnation of the Utah Blues Society was actually back in 1994 by Julie Turner and Michael Shelby,” says Kelm. The two produced and mailed out the High Desert Blues newsletter—a more challenging feat than today’s easily compiled and disseminated internet newsletters. “The blues music scene seemed in its heyday with choice national and local blues nearly every night of the week, particularly between the Zephyr Club and the Dead Goat Saloon.” Eventually, however, the society faded away and those clubs closed. In early 2013, blues musician Tony Holiday had the idea of starting the Utah Blues Society. In the process, he found out about its former existence and con-

LEARN TO FISH continued from page 11 Caught one! If you get a fish on the line, take a breath, and then take a moment to appreciate the magic. This is the addicting part. Don’t reel in too quickly, and don’t yank on the line. Take your time, feel the fish fight, and feel the tension in the line. If it gets too tight, it could snap, so be careful. Once you land the fish, carefully remove the hook so as not to injure the animal or cause it any additional stress. This is best done by pinching the eye of the hook and pushing the barb in the reverse direction that it entered the fish’s flesh. If the fish really gulped the lure, a hook removal tool or a pair of needle nose pliers come in really handy. Remember, fish need water. After you’ve taken a picture of your prize, either put the fish back in the water— gently hold the fish underwater until it swims off on its own power—or string it onto a submerged fish stringer while you continue fishing. If you intend to take the fish, you first need to measure it to make sure it meets the regulation size for the type of fish you’ve caught. When it’s time to go, you’ll have to kill your fish. The most humane way to kill a fish, though violent, is to knock it forcefully between the eyes with a blunt instrument. It’s a cruel punishment to let a fish expire from exposure or lack of water. Put it in an ice-packed cooler so you can keep your catch as fresh as possible. Whatever the outcome of your first fishing expedition, I hope you enjoy your time spent at the water’s edge, watching the waves lap the shore or the river flash by, wondering where the

SHARING
Gifts that grew What grows in your home or garden that came from somewhere else—not purchased, not even as a formal gift, but a garden-to-garden sharing, like sourdough starter? We asked a few of our gardening friends. Here’s what they wrote: KEVIN & CELIA BELL – Homesteaders, SLC’s West side Pulling through a tiny town in central Utah we stopped in at a quaint roadside attraction of a nursery run by a pair of fellows, Don and Tom. We knew Don through a connection with Wasatch Community Gardens where he’d recently become the director. After perusing all of the available potted plants in stock, one explosion of green really caught my eye, giant cane grass. It isn’t native to Utah, but we liked it. Don immediately potted some up and sent us home with it for free. Don has since died but the grass lives on, serving as a soft,
remember her and his old home in western North Carolina. Ten-plus years and two kids later, we opted to leave that lovely starter home—but dug up most of the irises, bulbs and asters to plant around our new home just a mile away. Beverly passed away a few years back, but each Mother’s Day those beautiful irises bloom, filling the air with their enchanting aroma and reminding u s
vegetative division between my space and my neighbor’s. In the summer, I use an old Native American loom to weave the cane grass into mats for shade. KATHERINE PIOLI – CATALYST assistant editor For many autumns, my grandmother sent me jars of fig jam she’d made from the fruit of her fig tree in Sun City, Arizona. It was her jam that inspired me to begin canning. I made strawberry jam and apple butter, but I always relied on her for my figs. Then, a few years back, she announced she was relocating to a new home. My first thought was the tree. I couldn’t survive without that wonderful sweet gift. So on my final visit to her old house, I took a cutting from the tree and drove it home to wintery Salt Lake City where I’ve cared for it in my greenhouse and watched it grow every year. It now stands four feet tall, has outgrown three pots and last year gave me my first fruit. Someday, maybe I will make jam from it, too. ALISON EINERSON - Manager, Downtown Farmers Market Back in 1997, my husband Scott, despite his dear mother’s tearful objections, headed west and landed in Utah. He purchased a home, and year after year his parents would drive out to visit. With each visit, my dear mother-in-law, Beverly, an avid gardener, hauled irises, Christmas cactuses, tulip and daffodil bulbs across the country, carefully planting them around the yard so her son would always
of the lush green hills of the Blue Ridge and of our wonderful mother, our Nana, our original landscape artist. JAMES LOOMIS – CATALYST contributor and gardening consultant When I was younger and gardening with my parents, the process was purgatory. My Pops would pull out the tiller in early summer, ravage a ridiculously large plot, plant in earnest, then leave its tending to me. Later, as a young teenager, I worked for a German family at their pioneer homestead a half-mile from my parents’ home in Spring City, Utah. It was my first experience with a well-designed garden and it was nearly overwhelming in abundance. By my mid-twenties, I was an avid grower but there remained one plant I could never grow: dill. On a rare visit home to Spring City, I stopped by to visit the German family and saw dill filling out all manner of nooks and crannies. I asked for their secret. I was sent home with a bag packed full of mature seed heads and instructions to spread
them around my entire garden the following spring. I did exactly that and, to this day, I have a
perpetual self-seeding crop of dill. Every time I see it pop up in spring I’m reminded of my gardening mantra: If it’s difficult, you’re not doing it right. GWEN CRIST – Chapter leader and board chair for Slow Food Utah My grandmother was a passionate gardener. She grew fruits and veggies enough to feed an army and bottled them up each year to give away to her family. I looked forward to her homemade vegetable soup every winter, each taste reminding me of her and her big garden in Ogden. When I would visit her, she would always send me home with armloads of food and plants. Many of my houseplants are from starts of her plants. The plant she gave me that I love the most is the feverfew that grows semiwild all over my yard. Its bright green, frilly leaves and cheerful daisy-like flowers are my continued connection to her, though she’s been gone for years now. I can still picture her bent over in her garden digging up that plant, a big root ball handed to me in a plastic sack to take home and nurture. The feverfew originally came from her mother’s garden in Woodruff, and rumor has it that it came over from England with her mother before that. The love of growing things is in my DNA, a gift from my grandmother. ◆
SHALL WE DANCE?
A dress for dancing BY AMY BRUNVAND
L
ast month my mother made me a dress to wear for the Living Traditions Festival. Maybe you saw me dancing with Salt Lake Scandinavian Music & Dance? We were that group of mostly middle-aged white people dancing to strange, droning fiddle music on the library stage during the last hour of the last day of the festival. It’s fair to say we were not exactly the main attraction. But I love Living Traditions anyhow. Salt Lake City can seem kind of whitebread until you go to this annual festival and realize that, despite all those Andersons and Christiansens in the phone book, there are actually plenty of people in Utah without Scandinavian ancestry. The Salt Lake City Arts Council-sponsored event just celebrated its 30th anniversary as a showcase for our town’s “diverse authentic ethnic and folk arts and their respective communities and cultural traditions.” Ancestry in the United States is kind of an odd thing. It has more to do with stories about where you came from than citizenship or where you were born. The U.S. Census Bureau only started asking about ancestry in 1980, and defines it this way: “Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, ‘roots’ or heritage, or the place of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States.” In my case, those “roots” include my paternal grandparents who immigrated here from Norway. In order to dance at the festival I needed a dancing dress, and I didn’t have one. Getting a Norwegian dancing dress is more complicated than you might think. In Norway (and I am not making this up) they have costume police who decide whether your traditional outfit is traditional enough. An approved regional costume can run thousands of dollars for hand embroidery and silver buckles and such. And which regional costume should you wear if you are actually a hyphenated Norwegian-American? My friend Gwen offered to lend me a dress that had been made for BYU folk dancers, but BYU co-ed jokes notwithstanding, it was sized for someone a lot less sturdy than I am. Luckily, Gwen had the sewing pattern so I asked my mom if she could help me make a dress. Mom grew up during the Great Depression and had an aunt who was a Home Ec teacher. She can sew anything.
I wanted to make my dancing dress to show off two pieces that I already owned. One is a distinctive Norwegian pin called a sølje that looks kind of like a shiny fishing lure and is supposed to scare away trolls; the other is an apron
So maybe my dancing dress is not authentically from Norway, but with three generations of women sewn into it, it has a kind of ancestry that feels right. Plus it has the power to scare away trolls, and who knows when that might come in handy? decorated with hardangersøm whiteon-white embroidery that my parents brought back from a trip to Norway many years ago. Mom and I went shopping for fabric and my new dancing dress took shape. When I tried it on for fit, I saw a tough old Norwegian mountain woman looking back out of the mirror. The dress tugged at some subliminal connection
15 to the past. I told Mom that I wanted to add some tatted lace for the blouse to make it look prettier. Tatting is a way of making lace out of a zillion tiny knots. My maternal grandmother taught me how to tat one summer when I was a teenager and I went around for months with a shuttle and a grubby ball of thread trying to get the tension just right. When I brought the tatted lace over to Mom’s house she showed me some pewter hooks that were left in my Norwegian grandmother’s sewing box after she died. “No one else wanted these, so I took them,” Mom said. She sewed them onto the bodice over sturdy hook-and-eyes so there would be no wardrobe failures. So maybe my dancing dress is not authentically from Norway, but with three generations of women sewn into it, it has a kind of ancestry that feels right. Plus it has the power to scare away trolls, and who knows when that might come in handy? While we were making the dress I read Wendell Berry’s The Unsettling of America (1977). He muses on romance and marriage as related to agriculture: The energy that is most convivial and unifying loses its communal forms and becomes divisive. This dispersal was nowhere more poignantly exemplified than in the replacement of the old ring dances, in which all couples danced together, by the so-called ballroom dancing, in which each couple dances alone. A significant part of ballroom dancing etiquette is, or was that the exchange of partners was accomplished by a “trade.” It is no accident that this capitalization of love and marriage was followed by a divorce epi-
demic—and by fashions of dancing in which each one of the dancers moves alone. Berry is more of a social conservative than I am but I think he’s not just being a fuddy-duddy. In my new dress, doing those old dances, I feel like I’m part of a community with all of my ancestors dancing along. ◆ Amy Brunvand is a published poet, essayist and a librarian at the J.

A mod solution to a modern dilemma Farmland is rapidly vanishing. A local hydroponics startup offers a solution. BY JAMES LOOMIS
I
invite you to consider the following irony: Agriculture is the foundation of civilization. By cultivating plants and animals, we developed the means to grow our tribes into villages, villages into towns, and towns into cities. Historically, most of these settlements originated near the best farmland (duh). Rich soils and reliable water all but guaranteed success for the inhabitants, as long as they were able to defend them, of course. In fact, we’ve been so successful with our civilizations that we now have massive, sprawling cities incessantly shaving and paving that very farmland they were founded upon. The legendary soils of Sugar House, named after its famed sugar beet industry, now suffocate under the weight of ever more dense development. The last few remaining farms in Lehi, a city hungry for a growing property tax base, are being sold to developers eager to help elbow out the last generation of farmers. The majority of Mormon farming towns in Utah, located on fertile soils at the mouths of canyons, marvels of irrigation and ingenuity, are now covered in big box stores and freeway overpasses. At a time when more people are hungry for fresh, local food than ever before, the available land to produce it is evapo-
rating. Quickly. This dilemma has spawned the growing Urban Agriculture movement. Demand has never been higher, yet soil has never been more scarce.
sending updates to our smartphones in real time. By developing new methods of producing food without soil, the new urban farmer is able to produce fresh, local produce with asphalt underfoot. Is this the revolution that will feed us? Park City-based Harvest Squared thinks so, and is banking on it. Their answer to the shortage of fertile soil in urban areas is to bypass the need for soil (and sun, for that matter, too). Joining the ranks of a growing number of “portable farms in a box,” they’ve developed a modular indoor farm unit built from a repurposed 40-ft. shipping container. Completely self-contained, the unit can be dropped on any available 320 sq.-ft. area and begin growing produce immediately, in any season. I was able to tour their flagship unit recently. What I saw was an incredibly well-designed, efficient foodproducing unit employing hydroponics and LED lighting With hydroponics, plants are anchored in a soil-less medium and nutrients are delivered via a nutrient solution. Roots are exposed to air directly, or the nutrient solution is highly aerated. Hydroponics uses considerably less water than growing in soil. With Harvest Squared’s system, it now becomes possible to stack multiple layers of planting areas above one another, resulting in at least five to 10 times the production per square foot as compared with traditional soil farming. The ModFarm interior contains two long walls of grow racks, each with five tiers of growing space, each tier made up of five rows. Despite its modest
The legendary soils of Sugar House, named after its famed sugar beet industry, now suffocate under the weight of ever more dense development. The last few remaining farms in Lehi are being sold to developers, the city hungry for a growing property tax base, eager to help elbow out the last generation of farmers. The majority of Mormon farming towns in Utah, located on fertile soils at the mouths of canyons, marvels of irrigation and ingenuity, are now covered in big box stores and freeway overpasses. This has led to a technological “land” race over the last decade, guided by new strategies aimed at producing increasingly more food per square foot than our early Mormon pioneers would have ever dreamed possible. They might have had an abundance of fertile wives and fertile soil, but we have LED grow lights, hydroponics and myriad sensors capable of
footprint, there is space to grow 2,100 plants to maturity, with another 1,500 nursery sites available to start seedlings. The secret to high production in these compact indoor growing operations is a well-timed rotation of plants, combined with the propensity for hydroponics to grow plants quickly. (I’ve been able to grow plants to maturity in 80% of the time in my aquaponic systems as op-
posed to soil). The ModFarm can produce roughly 4,000 plants a month, 12 months a year. The container is tightly sealed and insulated, with heating, cooling and ventilation systems keeping precise control over the temperature in the growing environment, which results in consistent, reliable harvests of flawless plants. The indoor isolation ensures a naturally pestand weed-free growing environment, eliminating the need for pesticides and herbicides. All relevant parameters related to plant performance are monitored inside the Modfarm and sent directly to the users’ smartphone. Temperature, humidity, pH, and more are updated in real time, and the farmer can be alerted should any of the parameters fall outside of the ideal range. I was, however, disappointed in the lack of hi-fidelity speakers, as this could clearly have enhanced the plants’ (and farmers’) experience. The creators of the ModFarm see these high-tech units as the future of farming. They’ve completed their first few rotations of test crops, and the plants look flawless. The next step is to begin intensive market trials with local restaurants and chefs, to begin to collect data and to develop a comprehensive training program for those who purchase their units. My calculations have the ModFarm putting out the same amount of produce per year with a 320 sq.-ft. footprint as a well managed 4,000 sq.-ft outdoor plot. Before we hop onto the tech-will-saveus bandwagon, though, we do need to consider that these types of farms require a substantial amount of materials to build and a lot of energy to sustain. Also, the nutrient solution has a limited lifespan and must be disposed of properly so that it does not enter the ecosystem as nutrient pollution. And if a natural disaster or inevitable zombie apocalypse causes the power to go out, that remarkable output drops to zero. We also need to consider the comprehensive nutritional characteristics of food growing from rich, living soils and fueled by the power from the sun, compared to plants grown in absence of the biological soil food web. While I very much enjoy growing hydroponically, I would also like us to make an earnest effort to preserve the remaining soils and farmland we still have, and maybe even reclaim some of it. Of course, my dear readers, all of you with garden plots in your yard, growing some of your own food, are perhaps one of the best solutions to the local food dilemma. Good job, you. Thanks for all you grow. I appreciate you. ◆ James Loomis is a professional grower and consultant, and teaches monthly workshops on a variety of topics related to regenerative agriculture and urban homesteading.

The interns get their futures read, for CATALYST and beyond BY Z. SMITH & RACHEL ROBERTSON (ZS) We are late. And it’s all my fault. “As the driver, it is important to balance scenery and timeliness. It’s a duty to the passengers,” I say to a worried Sophie Silverstone, or Mama Soph as she has been lovingly deemed. As is the case with many of my adages, it hardly convinces her. It would seem I have put too much value on scenery and not enough on timeliness. We—Sophie, Rachel Robertson, my partner in intern-hood, and me—are on our way through downtown, along Main Street, under a bridge, across from the GTI building, and into a gated parking lot at Crone’s Hollow. We are having our futures read. Well, Rachel and me, at least. This is a capstone moment, the mystic twilight in an altering sky: Rachel and I have completed our internships at CATALYST Magazine and are looking toward the future with a questioning and hopeful gaze. “Creeaak,” says the door, “ding-dong,” calls the bell, and we all tumble headlong into the heady, incense-scented storefront. We three, the door, the bell, and a Miss Ravenstone are now acquainted. Ravenstone stands behind a glass counter in the storefront. The room is filled, absolutely brimming with crystals, powders, bones, herbs, rings, books, necklaces, poppets and fairy dust. Ravenstone eyes us, the clumsy intruders into this hallowed place. “Uhh, hi,” says Mama Soph, “we’re from CATALYST.” Ravenstone—dark hair, wise eyes, faded jeans, and a vertically striped shirt—says “Ahh,” summing us up in so few syllables, “let me introduce you to Aisling, today’s reader.” A few steps, a cough, an introduction, and an orderdeciding intern-exchange later, I am seated on a padded chair, centered in the milky way, Earth, North America, Utah, South Salt Lake, care of a velvet tent in a concrete building. The light is musky, the curtain beads are catching in the draft; it is just Aisling and I. She, of Irish-Gypsy descent, in a dark purple gown, says “I want you to ‘make the deck’: shuffle it, mix it up, put your energy into it. I want it to speak to you, not to me.” I take the cards, like a seasoned Vegas dealer, and shuffle. Me and my grandma play a lot of Gin; I know what I’m doing. Aisling takes the deck, closes her eyes, breathes in my energy, my aura, my very being, and we begin…. “It was an honor to talk with you laddie,” says Aisling as I thank her, leave the tent, and find a seat next to Mama Soph. “It’s your turn,” I say to Rachel, “Good
luck.” And what happened with Rachel and Aisling? *

(RR) I’ve never had my cards read, I’ve never really actually thought about it before. I’ve read my horoscope if I came across it, or the weekly reader Aquarium Age from CATALYST. Yet, I’ve never been invested in seeking out the future. The future, has always been something I’ve been curious about, but something that would just appear and be. Yet, as a ceremonial last duty for CATALYST, Zac, my fellow intern and I are in the eclectic Crone’s Hollow shop having our futures and fates read. Crone’s Hollow smells of burning incense and is adorned with a collection of fixtures and artwork that catches the eye. In the back room hang white orbs from the ceiling with a parlor waiting room. And there, in that room sits a crimson velvet towering tent, with a beaded curtain. The tent is propped up, waiting for you, waiting for Aisling to tell you what the future holds. “Who’s first?” the question lobbed up into the air. Still a little nervous about what to ask, I push Zac to go first. I haven’t the slightest clue what I want to ask, or more accurately what question I want answered. Entering through the beaded doorway, is intimidating at first, still not knowing what I am going to ask or what all of this means. Overwhelmed with cards splashed on the table in a circle with stones, cards stacked in the far corner and wooden sticks piled high in a box… I realize I haven’t the slightest clue what I’m doing. Yet, that feeling is how I feel about most things. And then we’re off, cards are being pulled and I’m lost in the process. Then we’re at the end: Hawthorne. The piece of wood with scribbled ‘hawthorne’ is my final pull. That is what is going to govern my entire calendar year, according to Aisling and the Celtic wood. Hawthorne meaning “protector the innocent.” Aisling relates it to protecting

(RR) Staring out the backseat window of Zac’s car, the time I have left as a CATALYST intern is short. I have learned and experienced a plethora of goodness. I will miss Zac’s tales and knowledge of music. I will also miss the eclectic CATALYST office, that seems to always be bursting with life and comforting energy of dogs, people and plants. The CATALYST community is a living, breathing organism that is filled with the power of change, hope, wisdom, love and a sprinkle of mischief. I have been lucky to be a part of it. Whatever the cards may have said in my reading, or whatever the future may hold I hope that there will be a CATALYST influence within it. *

Women talk too much?
Utah arts get money!
Have you ever heard that women talk more than men? It seems to be a commonly shared assumption, one meant to differentiate male and female characteristics, and, for us girls, it’s not exactly a good thing. That story is just one of many linguistic myths being challenged by University of Utah linguistics professor Abby Kaplan in her new book Women Talk More Than Men…and Other Myths about Language Explained (Cambridge University Press). “This is often framed as a bad thing – that women talk too much,” writes Kaplan. “Globally and historically, the common view has been that women’s ways of speaking – whatever we think they are – are inferior to men’s.” But, with the help of research and case studies, Kaplan is dispelling this myth and others. One study that constantly recorded over 400 college students over the course of a few days showed no difference between men and women; we both speak an average of 16,00 words per day.
This year, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is granting over $82.3 million to thousands of arts projects in all 50 U.S. states. Here in Utah, 13 different organizations (Moab music festival, RDT, Sundance Institute, Art Access, Plan-B Theatre and the Salt Lake Urban Arts Festival and others) received a combined sum of over one million dollars. The grants are great news for our arts community. The NEA, created in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, gives tremendous support to the arts every year. The NEA’s budget for the 2015 fiscal year shows that it awarded 2,357 grants totaling $116.9 million. Most of those gifts are small- to medium-sized grants which, spread around, promote arts in areas both rural and urban, wealthy and poor.
Pick up a copy of Women Talk More Than Men (from King’s English and probably other local bookstores) to find out if texting is making you dumb, and whether apes can really use language to communicate their thoughts with humans.

What’s new at the Downtown Farmers Market No More Plastic. We all know what a waste it is to use a bottle once and throw it out, yet how many of us do it? Now, the Downtown Farmers Market is living up to their own environmental mission and helping us do the same by no longer selling bottled water at the market. Instead, bring your own bottle and fill it at one of the market’s free water stations. Forgot your bottle? The market will be selling stainless steel bottles for $3, thanks to project sponsor Garbett Homes. Healthy Food Is a SNAP. The Downtown Farmers Market has, for years, made it possible for customers to use federal assistance money to buy produce at the market, because good and healthy food should be available to all. But we all know that market costs can be higher than at the store. To keep people on federal assistance shopping local, the Downtown market is

New vegan doughnut shop on Broadway Come June 3, between The Green Ant and Copper Common, on 171 E. Broadway, vegans, vegetarians, and meateaters alike will find a new doughnut shop they all can enjoy. Jessica Curzon got the idea for Big O Doughnuts in March 2015, because Ally, one of her daughters had a craving for a doughnut—that is, a vegan doughnut. Jessica and Ally realized nobody did that… yet. Curzon and her two daughters, Ally and Leah, and Curzon’s boyfriend and business partner, Zak Farrington, are vegan. “"Everyone loves a good doughnut. We are offering an awesome doughnut. It just happens to be intentionally free from any animal products and is 100% vegan.” The Curzons began by selling their doughnuts at a booth at the 9th West People’s Market last summer and garnered quite a following. The business expanded on a dare when Leah challenged her mom to make Big O Doughnuts into something more than a fleeting endeavor.
Big O Doughnuts began operating out of commercial kitchen space on Highland Drive near 3300 South, selling their confections to Sugar House Coffee and Passion Flour Patisserie. The vegan desserts were a hit, selling out every time they were delivered to Sugar House Coffee. Most people didn’t know they were eating a vegan doughnut. “You don’t have to sacrifice the flavor profile or the quality donut to leave out dairy and animal products,” says Farrington. Big O Doughnuts, which will also serve coffee and tea, plans to eventually branch out into other vegan pastries as well. Listen to the podcast on THEUTAHFOODIE.COM for more of their story.
Holistic Health Practitioner Diploma Program at Healing Mountain Much to current Healing Mountain Massage School students’ delight, Healing Mountain Massage School (HMMS) rolled out a new 1,600-hour diploma program in April. The program emerged out of feedback from many students asking for a broader spectrum of training beyond massage therapy. Combining holistic health, Ayurveda, nutrition, massage therapy, yoga teacher training, reflexology and zone therapy, aromatherapy, Reiki, advanced craniosacral therapy, Asian bodywork and other forms of healing, the courses offerered are based on survey results from HMMS students. “For any LMT who wants to take this to the next level, it’s appealing. Massage can be physically demanding on therapists and they can burn out over time,” says HMMS CEO & president Randy Nikola. “With holistic training, they can use other modalities or techniques that are not physically demanding. They can stay in the field a lot longer, they can be happier, and their clients will be, too. Additional training in nutrition, stretches and meditation, as you can imagine, will add to a professional’s practice immensely.” The program includes a 900-hour Massage Therapy core component. Students who have already completed HMMS or a massage therapy degree from any nationally accredited school may transfer their credits for the massage therapy component of the HHP degree. The remaining 700 training hours are completed on a 15to 18-month track, and require a significant, dedicated time commitment. Morning and evening classes are offered across the program, offering flexibility to different lifestyles and schedules. Nikola says this is the first program of its kind in Utah. The school is now enrolling students for a course that begins in July. WWW.HEALINGMOUNTAIN.EDU.

n every silent Insight Meditation retreat I’ve attended—at The Last Resort in Southern Utah, or at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California—meals have always been the most reliable source of daily pleasure. This is partially due to the expertise and caring of the people who plan and prepare the meals, which are always wholesome, flavorful and prepared with love. Another reason retreat food brings such pleasure is that it’s not up to me to plan the menu, buy and assemble the ingredients and prepare the food. I love to cook, but I also love to be surprised. It’s wonderful to walk into the dining hall not knowing what’s in store, but knowing it will be delicious and fortifying, because it always is. Perhaps the most important element in the enjoyment of retreat food is that after days or weeks of practicing mindfulness, every activity—sitting, walking, showering, doing your yogi job and eating—becomes a part of the practice. Slowing down and being present with your daily activities makes everything you do more satisfying. Here are some of the benefits I’ve noticed from eating mindfully: • The textures and flavors of food spring to life. • Slowing down helps digestion. • I tend to eat less because I’m more aware of when my body is full. I eat what I need rather than what I want. Eating mindfully is really common sense. But most of us lead busy lives, juggling many responsibilities. We often eat on the fly, or multitask while we’re eating. I’m as
guilty as anyone, but I do try to slow down and enjoy at least one meal every day. Here are some tips that might help you cultivate a mindful eating habit: Set a doable intention. Start with something easy, maybe eating one meal each day—or even each week—slowly and mindfully. Intentions are powerful. Deciding that you’re going to explore mindful eating is the first step. Invite a buddy. If you have a partner or family, encourage them to join you. It’s a lot easier to start a new practice when you and a friend can keep each other inspired. For example, you could
jaw and teeth, and the flavors and textures of the food you’re eating. Chew, with presence, until the food is completely broken down. Be present with swallowing. Put down your fork. Quite often we’ve already got our next bite on the fork, ready to shovel in, before we’ve finished the food we’re currently chewing. Instead, while you’re chewing your food, set your fork or spoon on your plate and refrain from picking it back up until you’re ready for another bite. If you like to journal, write down your experiences. Writing can help you clarify your intentions
Slowing down and being present with your daily activities makes everything you do more satisfying. commit to sitting down to one mindful family meal each day. If you can’t do it every day, then try three times a week, or once a week. Start with a moment of silence. Before digging in, take a few moments to savor the sights and smells emanating from your plate. Cultivate gratitude. Be mindful of the entire process. Here’s how this might look: Be aware of the movements and sensations in your arm and hands as you reach for your utensils. Feel the weight, texture, coolness or warmth of your fork, spoon or knife. Follow the movement of your hand and arm as you move it toward your plate. Feel the weight of the food on your fork or spoon as you lift it toward your mouth. Be mindful of the movements of your
and the benefits of your practice. Take it into the world. Mindful meals don’t have to be at home. You can follow all these steps when you enjoy restaurant fare. It’s not always easy to develop new habits, so go easy on yourself. Set your intention, but know that you may not always be able to make good on it. If you miss a day, it’s okay. You can begin again with your next meal. Eating is essential. Consuming healthy, nourishing food replenishes our prana. We’re going to eat anyway, so why not pay attention? ◆ Charlotte Bell has been practicing yoga since 1982.

eptune is retrograde June 13 till November 20. This should aid in fine-tuning your intuitive senses and allow you to feel into the more subtle places of your life that need to be addressed. During this transit you have to really pay attention to the messages and act on them quickly. If you haven’t done the work necessary by the time Neptune goes direct, your feel-
Let wonder and enthusiasm take the place of fear. ings of missing the mark and not being in the right place at the right time will actually get stronger. Under this aspect, addictive patterns can worsen. Rein in any out-of-control urges; they will bite you if you are not careful. Neptune, the second-largest planet, is also the planet of illusion. There may be a feeling of not knowing what’s true or correct for you during this time. The choices may seem so diverse. On June 17, Saturn and Neptune will be at 12 degrees and you will experience the second of the three squares (the third one will be September 6). Saturn wants to restructure your philosophical outlook and free your mind to travel beyond the old boundaries while Neptune wants to dissolve what seemed so real from your past. This combination can be shattering for the psyche. Just remember that when the blinders come
off and you see what’s really there, there is always liberation. To move through this month, you need instinct and intuition. As both Saturn and Neptune are in mutable signs (Sagittarius and Pisces) the game is choice, gaining confidence and learning to adapt. The most important aspect of this square is that it will show you that “knowledge is power.” Knowing this is necessary for humanity to finally be able to let go of blind faith. Some people will have their foundations rocked, shattered and then washed away by a tide of Neptune’s change. Each of us is being asked to grow up. You will not be allowed to stay in denial and you will not be able to escape the hard truth and choices confronting you this month. Yet, with the Mayan archetype Chuen, there’s also a playful quality to this month. Play is essential for moving through this challenging game of reallife Dungeons and Dragons. If you have an attitude of childlike enthusiasm regarding the fact that so much is shifting, you can get on top of the energy and play the game rather than feel played. Just remember that there will be a lot you can’t see so plan accordingly: You will have to adapt at a moment’s notice. What you can say about this month is that it is dynamic. There’s a type of intended risk that is present throughout the month. You will want to surround yourself with the most loyal friends as well as those with ability to see into the great beyond and share insights to the next potential steps in this developing game. Let this month be one of such movement and expansion that you’re enthralled with just the feeling of no longer being stuck. You may want to know what’s happening to you but it’s better to live in the moment. Let wonder and enthusiasm take the place of fear. Let the adventure be so enticing that you know you will move forward even when you don’t know why. Don’t push, just go with what presents. You might discover that you’re braver and more of a hero in your world than you realized. ◆ Suzanne Wagner is the author of numerous books and CDs on the tarot and creator of the Wild Women app. She now lives in California, but visits Utah for classes and readings frequently.
