EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

30 years 300 issues BY GRETA BELANGER DEJONG

H

ave you ever read your old journals and been amazed at who you used to be? That’s the experience we had at CATALYST last month as we perused the past 30 years of publishing this magazine. I speak of not just the magazine’s transformation through time, but the community we write about. It has grown and matured in ways unforeseen in 1982 when we started what at the time seemed like a lark. We’ve compiled lists: of ways in which we think CATALYST has made a difference, topics we wrote about that were before their time, stories to revisit, what’s changed and what’s remained the same. We made lists of office babies, layouts we liked, cover art we’ve loved, people who’ve departed (one way or another), stories you particularly enjoyed. We interviewed people from long ago, noting again and again that the passage of time seems so short, yet so much life has been lived in the meantime. And photos. We’ve gathered dozens of photos, of staff members through the years; office cats and dogs; lots of parties. And that’s not even the digital files. Here are some fruits of this labor. Our eyes were bigger than our print belly. To be continued next month. That’s okay. This is only issue #300. We’ve got plenty of time to reflect. * We’ve collected comments from you, our readers: What connections have you made through CATALYST? Through our pages have you found something, or someone, that you love? Due to the eyes-were-bigger-than-our-print-belly syndrome, we will publish your replies next month. Deadline is extended to August 20. All respondents are eligible for a drawing for dinner for two with the CATALYST publishers at Pago. Want to go to dinner? Tell me what you think. Email me (subject: CATALYST CONNECTIONS): GRETA@CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET • Thank you. Thank you, my priceless staff, and all the writers and photographers whose efforts fill these pages, month after month, year after year. Thank you, advertisers: Your support enables us to carry on. Thank you, readers, for making CATALYST relevant: Without your support, why would we bother? Thank you everyone for showing up, month after month, at this word gathering. Let the beauty and fun unfold. u Greta Belanger deJong is the editor and publisher of CATALYST. GRETA@CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET. As of last month, she looks nothing like the person in the above photo. But that’s another story..

August 2012

BY AMY BRUNVAND

Drought strikes Utah Utah’s snowless 2011-12 ski season was an omen of a very dry year and in July, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack held a press conference to report that 61% of the U.S. is currently affected by drought. According to the National Integrated Drought Information System, Utah experienced the 8th warmest spring on record. As of July 2012, drought conditions covered nearly all of Colorado, most of Utah and about half of Wyoming, with impacts that include very low streamflows and reduced water supplies, poor range, pasture, and dryland crop conditions, and destructive wildfires. As a result of the dry conditions, the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared disaster areas in 20 Utah counties, making farmers eligible for federal aid. The drought is spreading and intensifying and all of Utah is considered vulnerable to drought. Asked whether the drought is related to climate change secretary Vilsack responded that he is not a scientist, but whatever the cause, Congress needs to help provide disaster relief. After a Christian reporter asked whether people had been encouraged to pray and fast in response to the disaster, Vilsack reiterated that If Congress doesn’t act, the USDA has limited options to help.

Water quality concerns raised by Western Resource Advocates and Living Rivers have put the brakes on plans by Red Leaf Resources and the State of Utah to rush into large-scale oil shale strip-mining. “Everybody agrees that Red Leaf and the State of Utah were trying to do too much, too quickly, and without enough information,” said Rob Dubuc, Staff Attorney for Western Resource Advocates. “This project should not move forward until the company can prove that there are no risks of contaminating groundwater.” LIVINGRIVERS.ORG, WESTERNRESOURCEADVOCATES.ORG

Governor Gary Herbert blamed the fires on “a lack of common sense” and insisted that gun rights and local control are a priority, even as people watched their homes and farms burn to the ground. UTAHFIREINFO.GOV

Emery County attacks Utah wilderness The draft “Emery County Public Lands Management Act” would affect federal public land in Desolation Canyon, Labyrinth Canyon, San Rafael Swell, San Rafael Desert and Mussentuchit Badlands. Yet it was written without any input from wilderness supporters, after off-road vehicle interests refused an offer to work with a facilitator, according to the Utah Wilderness Coalition. For a while it seemed hopeful that Emery County might emulate the process that led to the 2009 Washington County Wilderness Bill which was considered a model of how stakeholders can work together to solve contentious public land disputes. But since then, Governor Gary Herbert has supported extremist anti-federalist legislators to reignite bitter public lands battles of the past, and Senator Mike Lee has encouraged Emery County officials to believe that he can help them push the bad bill through the Utah Legislature and U.S. Congress. Among the more appalling aspects of the bill are a proposal to punch off-road vehicle routes through roadless areas including a trail in the streambed of Muddy Creek, to open Desolation Canyon to coal mining, and to eliminate protection for land adjacent to Capitol Reef National Park and the Green River in Labyrinth Canyon. “If Emery charges ahead and succeeds in getting this bill introduced in Congress, we will either kill it or fix it so that it is a step forward for protecting the Redrock,” says Scott Groene, executive director of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. “We’ve already done that over a dozen times in the past 20 years.“ SUWA.ORG

Wildfires set Utah ablaze

Red Butte Creek oil free?

By July, drought conditions in Utah had resulted in over 600 wildlands fires that burned nearly 400,000 acres and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes. More than 400 of the fires were started by humans, and at least 20 resulted from target shooting. But Utah law makes it nearly impossible to protect public safety by limiting spark-producing activities like target shooting and fireworks. Utah

Two years after a June 2010 Chevron pipeline oil spill contaminated Red Butte Creek, a Utah Divison of Environmental Quality report says that Red Butte water quality is now similar to other Salt Lake area urban creeks, which is to say, not entirely free of oil but no more that is in creeks that weren’t affected by the spill. A final determination on the success of the cleanup will be made after the public comment period on the report ends on August 13. DEQ.UTAH.GOV/LOCATIONS/REDBUTTE/INDEX.HTM

Olympic Memory

Play along at home BY DENNIS HINKAMP he hills are alive with the sound of firefighting helicopters and it is hot enough to make the rubberized track feel sticky. It’s about 93.5 degrees on a Sunday afternoon and there are only two semi-sane people here: an older old guy in cargo shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes shuffling a few laps around the track, and a younger old guy with feather-light shorts and shoes, sun glasses and little else doing repeat 200s. One of them is me and one of them probably will be me. Sure, there are hundreds of beautiful poetic places to run, but there is something starkly satisfying about running around a 400-meter track. The Olympic dream manifests itself in different ways. It’s hard to appreciate how strong and fast athletes are in other sports because you can sit there and think “I could have caught that ball/made the free throw/sunk that putt.” You’ll never know because you were not in the game. But with track, you can find out right now. Track running is a cruelly precise sport; no matter how fast you run, you can’t get away from the lap count of the stop watch. But that is also the beauty of it. You can run the exact same distance on the same measured track as all the Olympians past and present. You can find a high school or college track near you and feel just a little bit what it is like to be in the Olympics. Here’s how: Every $10 watch (as well as, probably, your cellphone) has a stopwatch function on it. You can go out

T

to a track and experience exactly how fast you are, relative to Olympians. Time yourself for a lap, half lap or whatever you can handle without prompting 911 calls or Life Flight. Write that number down and start doing the math to compare your speed to whatever the Olympians are doing in distances ranging for 100 to 10,000 meters. Let’s say you’re not a complete couch spud and can run a lap in 2 minutes. In that amount of time, most Olympic distance runners would be competing two laps and, depending on the distance, would keep up that pace for quite a few more laps while you are still standing there with your hands on your knees gasping for oxygen. I am not saying this to discourage you. If you find that the whole metrics thing is a stumbling block, just round off. The 1,500 is a little less than a mile, the 5,000 is a little more than three miles and the 10,000 is about 6.2 miles. The 3,000 meter steeplechase is like running six city blocks while jumping over everyone’s fences and swimming pools. Field events are more difficult to simulate but try picking up a cinder block and see how far you can throw it; make sure that pets and breakable objects are out of the way. The jumping events will require a soft place to land; unless you have an extremely large bedroom, I’d suggest holding off until autum when you can descend into a large pile of leaves. u Dennis Hinkamp will be filling up his DVR with track and field events.

Natural in the Valley A history of natural foods markets in Salt Lake City BY HANNAH KOREVAAR AND GRETA DEJONG

1971-1985: David Ronniger, with siblings Stephen and Merrily (Molly), pictured, ran Whole Earth Natural Foods, in the Avenues.

Ed.’s note: This story is based primarily on information gathered from 30 years of CATALYST magazine, recent conversations, personal recollections, online records and interviews. History benefits from the input of many: If you have information, clarifications or stories pertaining to the early years of natural foods stores in Salt Lake, let us know. We will create an archive and keep it on our website. hen CATALYST magazine began, publishing in 1982, “natural” and “organic” were still considered hippy words—like peace, love, environment and all that other kooky stuff. In Utah, the going was easier: The predominent religion encouraged a healthy lifestyle; a 1932 church publication even taught that refined flour was contrary to church doctrine. A tradition

of folk healing, with a respect for the healing powers of food and herbs, already existed. Dr. John Christopher, a Springville-based naturopath, author, herbalist and founder of the well-established (1953) School of Natural Healing was gaining national respect and notoriety. Many Salt Lakers who marched to this interesting drumbeat shopped at Nature’s Way Natural Foods at 9th & 9th (where the Children’s Hour is currently), owned by Michael Circuit; or at a little grocery in the Avenues, Whole Earth Natural Foods. Whole Earth was located at 1026 Second Avenue (now the home Dean Pierose’s cafe and deli, Cucina). It was started by David Ronniger, an energetic 26-year-old who had grown up in the Federal Heights neighborhood and moved to Colorado.When his father,

healing power of food. While it was too late to help his dad, Ronniger pursued the heart of his intention and opened Whole Earth Natural Foods in 1971. It was not the first natural foods market in the Avenues. Another had existed at 476 Third Avenue. We have several names of owners and managers, but have not been able to contact them or learn the name of the store. In the 1980s that site became the first home for Wild Rose Mountain Sports and apparently for a brief time shared space with the Salt Lake Food Co-Op [Watch for a story on food co-ops in and upcoming issue]. Later Wild Rose moved to its current location, also on Third Avenue. Meanwhile in Ogden, Elizabeth (Bessie) Wight Shafer had managed the Nutrition Center Co-op since 1962. In 1970 she purchased it from the members and renamed it Bright Day Health Foods/Nutrition Center. According to her 2005 obituary, she was a well-known activist and lobbyist in the health food movement. She retired in 1995, selling the business to a granddaughter. The store closed in 2007. David Ronniger and his younger siblings Merrily (Molly) and Stephen ran Whole Earth until 1985, when the Ronnigers sold their grocery to a spiritual community that came to town from Santa Barbara, called The Builders. The community was led by Norman Paulsen, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. They were a down-to-earth, hard-working people (they also owned a demolition company—they famously imploded the massive Newhouse Hotel on downtown’s Main St.), active in the community, with a lifestyle based on daily meditation practice. Due to descriptions of alien encounters in their teacher’s autobiography, they were referred to by some as the UFO people. They lived in a mansion near their grocery (on the northeast corner of I St. and Second Avenue). The Builders bought the struggling business for $20,000. They changed the name to the Second Avenue Market and Café. Brothers Ernie

By 2011, Whole Foods and Sunflower Markets (which entered the Utah market in 2007) each had three locations and were expanding their operations to larger stores. Whole Foods replaced its 400 South location with its grand Trolley Square store; Sunflower Markets opened a new location at 700 East 2nd South. National organics purveyor Trader Joe’s is slated to open its first Utah store in Salt Lake within the year in the former Old Navy location on Fourth South near the

and Jim Shelton, longtime members of the Builders, were the friendly faces of the new store. Soon after, Nature’s Way Natural Foods at 9th and 9th, occupying a space more than double the size of the Avenues’ store, also sold to The Builders. It became the 9th and 9th Market, with an elegant, upscale cafe. In 1987 both stores were renamed New Frontiers. In 1988, Kathy Bauman (now Melby) opened Kathy’s Natural Foods Ranch Market and Deli in Holladay. In covering the opening of the new store, CATALYST’s Genevieve Rowles said Kathy’s was the first of the natural food stores to look and feel like a supermarket. A year later, Rowles wrote another story describing the enormous growth of natural foods stores over the previous four years. She said they were becoming less exotic, more like supermarkets, and diversifying their offerings. In addition to Kathy’s, Bright Day and New Frontiers, Rowles explored Kenneth Howard’s new Good Earth Natural Foods in the south of the valley and Shirlyn’s Natural Foods in Sandy, which Pam Mahstrom and Carolee Darger had just opened. Six whole stores! CATALYST was elated at such rapid expansion and eager for more. In 1995 The Builders, aka New Frontiers, bought Kathy’s. Through the years New Frontiers upsized several times. It occupied 24th

South at 7th East, where the Salt Lake Running Co. now resides, simultaneous to a Second South Eighth East market, previously a meat market, where Dollar Tree now resides. In 1996 the organization sold its Utah stores to Wild Oats, a rapidly expanding chain out of Boulder, Colorado. Wild Oats closed Kathy’s and opened and closed other locations. They maintained its holdings for 10 years. After a long legal struggle, Texas-based Whole Foods consumed those stores. Of the six stores celebrated in Rowles’ 1989 article, two remain. Good Earth has expanded to five locations and Shirlyn’s has three. (The New Frontiers chain still operates in Arizona and California.) In 1993, Steve Rosenberg’s Liberty Heights Fresh (11th East at 13th South) had come into the picture. Draper-based Pirate O’s also opened. In 2009, restaurateaur Ian Brandt started Cali’s Market (just north of the 18th South CostCo). These markets continue to provide organic, natural and local where possible, in the midst of major expansion from the chains.

A significant player in the local healthy food consumption scene, not present when CATALYST began in 1982, is the Downtown Alliance Farmers Market. It has grown larger and more popular since its birth in 1992. Similar markets have

CATALYST culinary culture A 30-year anthem to feel-better food BY JANE LAIRD

9th & 9th Cafe and gallery was a happening place.

ulture Reporter. Cross Pollinator.

Reflections: Four Restaurants—One Spot —by Jim Hensler

A

s long as we’ve been around, the 9th and 9th area has been an oasis of good local eateries and shops. One spot in particular, north of the northwest corner, has been a unique reflection and metaphor of evolving menu-consciousness over the last three decades. Before the term “organic” was part of the mainstream lexicon, there was the Nature’s Way Sandwich Shop at 888 S 900 East. Owner Ed Hurd recounts that he believed the best foods were the least altered and the most natural, and that he had “a good feeling about offering people some alternatives and more knowledge about the food they’re eating.” We’re not clear on the memory of how that northeast corner block was cut up, but when the 9th & 9th Market

expanding food awareness throughout these decades. This history of changing consciousness about culinary choices began with “The Good, the Bad and the Hopeless” feature in Summer 1986 issue when CATALYST’s first food columnist, Genevieve Rowles, surveyed local hospital cafeterias for health-conscious offerings. “If

(prior to being renamed New Frontiers) occupied the exact corner (see “Natural in the City” in this issue), our recollection is their elegant 9th & 9th Cafe was tucked in the back, behind the Kite and Sandwich shop. The cafe hosted well-attended art exhibits and drew diners to this corner. (See photo.) Considered one of the last of the “old hippie” businesses at the time by CATALYST food writer Bruce Plenk, Nature’s Way was unique. Hurd grew his own sprouts in gallon jars, sprouts that appeared on beloved avocado and watercress sandwiches and everything else. The shop eventually moved west on 9th South and toward the end of 1993, CATALYST wrote a fond farewell as Nature’s Way closed its doors after 20 years of operation. In the sandwich shop’s place rose the Sun Bun Café, later renamed the Park Ivy (“Home of the Sun Bun”—a tasty bun with melted cheese on top), a wholly vegetarian, vegan-friendly restaurant. Adhering to a philosophy

the heavy, fat-laden and sugarysweet offerings of some hospital food services are an indication, one wonder wildly if said institutions are not trying to drum up business,” she stated, and noted that while the hospital at that time known as Holy Cross employed a whole foods philosophy and a four-star chef, St. Mark’s offered only a greasy spoon that she termed “Café Cholesterol.” Eighteen months later Rowles reported that St. Mark’s management team invited her back to sample its new, more heart-healthy regime. The magazine was a change agent when it partnered with attorney Brian Barnard and won an important lawsuit against Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverages. As publisher Greta deJong wrote in the August 2001 issue, it was an effort to support the restaurants in the CATALYST Dining Guide; the Denver Third Appellate Court ruled Utah liquor laws were “irrational.” “As a result of last month’s ruling, servers may ask if you’d like to see a wine list, too,” she wrote. “How civilized.” Civic concerns have been addressed through the years. When Cesar Chavez came to town in 1987, we reported on “Grapes…the Not Very Natural Snack,” informing readers about the EPA waivers on sulfur dioxide. In November 1991we reported on the “National Organic Standards” legislation. In November 1998, the “Food and Politics: Fighting the Wrong War” column included “What is a Vegan?” by Erik Marcus, author of Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating (1997) and featured EarthSave’s Meat-Free Thanksgiving Event at Sugar House

of “spiritual vegetarianism” and conscious service, the Sun Bun was, as Plenk wrote in April 1991, the sort of place that provided free soup, bread and water for two days in a demonstration of peace on the eve of the Persian Gulf War. Reader Mary Hess remembers, “The place was always packed, especially during lunch time. Many people were disappointed when it closed.” Occupying this space now is another popular restaurant, Pago, owned by Scott Evans, a past CATALYST contributor. Evans reminisces: “I worked at Park Ivy for two years and loved being a part of that incredible (and wild) community. That was a big part of why the space was appealing to me when I opened Pago. It was a complete circle.” Pogo’s motto is “Artisan. Local. Farm Fresh,” echoing the growing locavore, farm-to-table movement. Pago participates in Utah’s RSA (Restaurant-Supported Agriculture), meaning food comes directly from Utah farms instead of large corporate food suppliers. The food is guaranteed fresh and the local economy is supported.

A Feast of fare-well writers Park. In the same issue was a story on the latest on the recombinant Bovine Growth (rBG) Hormone.

Conscious cuisine The first year, most CATALYST staff meetings were held at RJ Wheatfield’s, a two-story natural foods restaurant in Trolley Square (it eventually became a steak house and then disappeared). In the early years of publication, CATALYST’s Vegetarian Dining Guide was invaluable to readers. The first Guide, December 1987, saluted the area’s restaurants that were meeting the growing demand for creative vegetarian offerings. In 1995, Carole Von Schmidt wrote about the new Oasis Cafe on 500 East, part of Jackie Pratt and Steve Paul’s restaurant/bookstore dream-come-true (owned for many years, now, by Jill and Joel LaSalle): “a vegetarian forum with a genre of finesse and flavor” in a glamorous structure designed by architect Max Smith. At that time it was primarily vegetarian but also offered fish. A favorite was the coriander-crusted Tombo tuna sandwich with miso aioli, watercress and shitake mushrooms ($8). “For lunch, put away a good-sized bowl of vegetable broth with fresh tomatoes, corn, peppers and celery, flavored with saffron, accompanied with a big slice of fresh bread ($3),” she wrote. Veganism was becoming more significant in the local food culture. Ian Brandt, who launched Sage’s Café, Café Supernatural, Vertical Diner and Cali’s Natural Foods, says that prior to Sage’s Ian Brandt, who launched Sage’s Café with family

1999 opening, there was only one other vegan restaurant in the area, Evergreen Café. By 2003, the Vegetarian Dining Guide, written by a young Scott Evans (who now owns Pago on 9th & 9th and Finca by Liberty Heights), was mentioning lacto-ovo, vegan, fruitarian and raw; it spanned 11 pages. Eventually, vegetarian offerings became menu standards around town and we discontinued the Guide. In March 2004, Todd Mangum, M.D. laid out the tenets of the still relevant Paleo Diet. In June 2000 we discussed food diversity (“Garden Variety: Saving the seeds of food diversity”). In the 2006 “Culinary Culture” column, which examined food heritage, Beth

Hoffman interviewed Jinan Abu Ismail, chef at Mazza, and her son Omar Abu Ismail, then operating Living Cuisine Raw Food Bar (the first in Utah—Omar is now the proprietor of Omar’s Rawtopia in Sugar House) in the article “Love of Pure, Healthy Ingredients.” There have been naturally delicious topics, too. “Italy’s Slow Food movement has arrived in Utah,” announced Tenaya Darlington and Sarah O’Leary in the “Slow is Beautiful (and Delicious)” article of June 2001. Coverage of Slow Food Utah continued with columnist Amber Billingsley’s May 2005 “Slow Food, from Italy to Utah.” Adele Flail’s current “Slow is Beautiful” series highlights Slow Food Utah’s micro-grant recipients.

Go forth (locally) and feast well Where to get your groceries and nosh has been frequently discussed through articles showcasing farmers markets (such as the seminal Downtown Alliance’s Farmers Market in Pioneer Park), CSAs, chef interviews and the natural/multi-cultural shopping surveys. In the ’90s, demand for natural and organic started reaching critical mass. A harbinger to the locavore and farmto-table movements, the 1997 Food and Community series by Frannie Trexler profiled local organic farmers. Kristen Rogers and Brian Barnard contributed to The Garden Cook column of 1996, each month featuring a local in-season food and what you can do with it, such as Barnard’s zucchini pancake recipe. In the wake Jim Hightower’s

The first CATALYST food blurb found was written by Greta Belanger in the Summer 1984 issue; in “Newsnotes,” she explained the Perry Shepherd’s wonderful new café/art gallery, the Painted Word Emporium, offered “goatshakes,” vegetables, fruits, juices and whole grained sandwiches. “It’s a Natural” was started in 1987 by the first food columnist, Genevieve Rowles. Lawyer Bruce Plenk, taking a break from his day job, enjoyed writing restaurant reviews beginning in 1991. In the early 1990s, Helen Hodgson focused on “Food and Fitness,” followed by Carol Von Schmidt’s “Dining Out” features in 1994. Jacqueline Landeen’s “Some Thought for Food” began in 1997. The author of the cookbook “Headin’ for the Sweet Heat,” her food tastes were reflected in her saucy writing style. Kathy Schoenhals and Sara O’Leary contributed to the “Real People, Real Food” series in 2001. Mandy Jeppsen launched the first of the “Chef Profile” series in April 2003, continued to this day by Emily Moroz and then Janey Laird. Last decade, Erin Geesaman offered ideas on food and health. In more recent years, Lucy Beale has covered health and wellness from a dietary point of view, and poet and bakery chef Judyth Hill penned “The Artful Kitchen” column. Rebecca Brenner’s “The Alchemical Kitchen” column featured DIY fermented foods. Readers are currently enjoying Letty Flatt’s “In Season” and Guthrie Goeglein’s “CATALYST Guide to Healthy Local Eating,” along with the “Slow is Beautiful” series by Adele Flail. Kay Denton’s contributions span decades; her article on “Real Food Rising: Cultivating food, youth and justice” is in the July 2012 issue.

300TH ISSUE

Our book is judged by its cover and we couldn’t be more pleased

Very first CATALYST cover! Summer of Wilder: May 2012

COVER ARTISTS WE MISS: Lee Deffebach (1928-2005) Francis Zimbeaux (1913-2006) Bevan Chipman (1934-2007) Helenke Bimstein (1914-2010) Harry Taylor (1918-2002)

In the beginning CATALYST was small and black and white. A couple years in we tried a larger format for a while and then, tada! we had our first spot color. We’ve experimented with size and format, color and paper but our one constant has been great covers! Which has been your favorite? Tell us at catlaystmagazine.net.

T

he first thing people say when I tell them I am CATALYST’s art director is “How do you find those great covers?” Truth be told, they find me. Over the years we’ve been wrapped in the artwork of young (at the time) art students like David Habben and and Wendy Ajax; teachers like Susan Makov, François Camoin and Patrick Eddington. Cultural icons and legends like Alex Grey, Carl Jung (yes, that Carl Jung); even Everett Ruess. Jann Haworth (co-creater of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover) popped in her “nudies” cover. Her corset sculpture was well received, although another cover showing a real life “bra” prompted one distributer to toss us out. Some folks can be a little prudish, you know. It’s a line we are aware of. For every cover selected there are a number rejected. Oh, the hundreds of covers that might have been. Dan Cummings is a perennial cover boy and has a special place in our hearts along with local heavyweights Edie Roberson, Carel Brest van Kempen, Willa Marie Huelskamp, Ric and Marcee Blackerby, Randall Lake, Nathan Florence, Trent Alvey, and my aces in the hole Chris Miles and David Wilder. (Always tailor-made for us!) We are sometimes timely (Scott Siedman’s painting of Obama, “The Man from Illinois” in 2008), sometimes silly (Keith Carlsen’s “Cooped Up”—affectionately known around the office as “Underpants Boy”) but always pick-up-able! Photographers Sallie Shatz, John deJong, Carol Koleman, Pax Rasmussen and even myself (Dad walking through the woods is my favorite)mix things up. My most memorable cover hunt conversation was with a then little known artist (now Utah’s artistic treasure) Pilar Pobil, explaining to me why she would not be sending me slides. “you really must see my house. My art is here!” (If you know Pilar, this makes perfect sense and I’m so glad she insisted.) Repeat featured artists Bradford Overton, Dana Ballard, Kim Riley, Meri DeCaria, Jean Arnold, Stephanie St. Thomas, Kindre Fehr, Kinde Nebeker, Heather Campbell, Karen Horne, Laurie Lisonbee, Sandy Parsons, Dennis Mecham, Ed Bateman, Sunny Strasberg—all so different but alike in that we fell in love with them. Really, this is the only criterian for being selected as a CATALYST cover. (Sending good chocolate helps though... just ask fabulous landscape cover guy Roydon Card.) u

30 Years of Yoga in SLC From humble roots, the practice has spread and diversified

BY CHARLOTTE BELL

Jay Jones and Charlotte Bell circa 1986, photo by Butch Adams

n writing this brief history of Salt Lake yoga, I’m relying on memory, CATALYST archives and a little help from some yoga friends. This is by no means an exhaustive history. Please leave comments online if I’ve left something out that’s important to you. We would like to have a complete and accurate history of yoga in Sat Lake City.

I

In January of 1982 I decided—out of curiosity— to try a yoga class. In a pink-carpeted room in the back of the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas, I experienced my first post-asana high. My first hour and a half of gentle poses, including a generous, guided relaxation left me feeling clearer and quieter than I’d ever felt. I knew I’d found a home in Hatha Yoga.

Six months later when I moved to Salt Lake City, one of the first items on my to-do list was to find a yoga teacher. I did what you did back in those days when you wanted to find pretty much any sort of community class: I found the nearest natural foods store—Nature’s Way on 9th and 9th—and scanned their bulletin board. Sure enough, I found a black & white typewritten flyer on bright gold paper. I tore off a number and called as soon as I returned home. The teachers, Olivia Mason and David Riley were a married couple, a physical therapist and a doctor respectively. They taught Iyengar-style yoga at the First Unitarian Church. Iyengar-style yoga is a meticulous, alignment-based practice, and far more active than the flow-and-glow classes I was used to. I loved learning from Olivia and David, with their deep understanding of anatomy and alignment. I assisted in their classes for almost four years, and when they moved to Santa Fe, they left me their classes, which I shared with Lance Daniels (now at Sivananda Ashram in Pennsylvania) and Jay Jones, founder of Salt Lake’s Bikram College of India in Sugar House. I taught at the Unitarian 1992 Yoga ad as it Church for the next 25 appeared in CATALYST years before moving to International Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Institute (IWKI) in 2011. Another thing I loved about Olivia and David is that they often brought senior Iyengar teachers to town for workshops. At these workshops, I not only learned a ton in relatively intimate settings—back then 30 students was considered to be a huge class—I also got to meet the Salt Lake yoga community. Most of Salt Lake’s half dozen or so teachers would gather at these workshops. Here, I met Gennie Coleman, Lin Ostler, Roz Newmark, Claudia Pierson, Lance Daniels, Susan Ann Stauffer and Jay Jones. Just about everyone had studied with Gennie, an Iyengar-based teacher who is still teaching after 45 years. Gennie initiated the U of U’s first yoga program and currently teaches at the Columbus Center. Lin Ostler is close behind in longevity, with 40 years of teaching under her belt. Lin’s eclectic background—Sivananda yoga training and teachers as diverse as Donna Farhi and Shiva Rea, along with her training as a doula—gave her a reputation as a unique, evolving teacher with a special gift for prenatal and postnatal practice. As far back as 1978, the animated dancer/teacher/photographer Roz Newmark was holding community ed classes at

Cottonwood High. She also still teaches, now at IWKI. On the Kundalini front, the gracious Deva Kaur Khalsa has taught continuously at least since the 1980s. Back in the 1980s, yoga classes took place in community spaces such as church social halls, the YWCA and school classrooms, where you’d have to come early to shove the desks and chairs out of the way to make room. If you wanted to use props, you had to haul them around in your car. (Speaking of props, Hugger Mugger Yoga Products, an international manufacturer of yoga products, was founded in Salt Lake in 1986 by Sara Chambers, a student of Olivia and David’s. I actually own the first pair of shorts that started the company.) While the teaching spaces were far less suited to yoga than today’s studios, the classes were intimate and humble, and the small community of teachers was friendly, cohesive and mutually supportive.

Hugger Mugger started in 1986 in Salt Lake City. I actually own the first pair of shorts that started the company.. In the early 1990s, Salt Lake got its first yoga studio. Danielle Lin and her then partner, a Kundalini teacher, opened the Yoga Center in Holladay. Set up as a Kundalini studio, complete with shag carpeting and a stage, the studio has evolved through three owners and been completely remodeled and reborn as an inclusive yoga and healing center. In 1996 Iyengar student Dean Campbell opened Yoga Central in the Canyon Rim neighborhood, where Mudita Studio now stands. Soon Soma Studio, founded by Peter Francyk, opened on State Street (above Decades) in the early 2000s, and later moved to a beautiful, airy space on 1700 South. In 2001 Jay Jones, formerly a certified Iyengar teacher, opened the highly successful Bikram studio in Sugar House. D’ana Baptiste, who originally founded a studio in Alpine (now Lifted Life Yoga Center), opened her popular Centered City Yoga in the 9th & 9th area in 2003.

Since then, studios including Flow Yoga (now Shiva Center), Avenues Yoga on K St., the late Kula Yoga (Fourth South)and most recently, Prana Yoga (in Trolley Square) studios and Zen Living Yoga in Sugarhouse have sprung up around the city. Many of these studios focus on particular styles of yoga—Bikram, Power, Prana Flow, Vinyasa Flow, Anusara, etc.—that have been formulated, and in many cases copyrighted, by modern teachers since the yoga boom of the 21st century began. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, I knew pretty much every teacher in town. These days, with hundreds of teachers being certified at studios each year, I would be hard-pressed to identify 5% of the teachers here. Yoga is now firmly entrenched in the mainstream. Every gym, college and community ed program offers it, and its mainstreaming has certainly faded the weird, hocus-pocus reputation that made it a challenge to promote in the old days. Western yoga has become known as a healthy exercise program, with a distinctly ancient, Eastern flavor. While multitudes more people are discovering the practice due to its mainstreaming, discarding the spiritual aspects of yoga as many yoga styles have, comes with a downside. I wonder whether we as a culture are selling ourselves short. The physical practice is only a small part of the system. In my opinion, the juiciest parts of yoga come as you begin to explore the rest of the vast system. However, it takes time to find your way into the more profound aspects of yoga. As Salt Lake yoga continues, I look forward to seeing how our community evolves. u Charlotte Bell is a yoga teacher, author and musician who lives in Salt Lake City.

We don’t live in the fourth century. So why would we use images from then to talk about the meaning of life and about the nature of existence? But that’s just what churches have done for ages. At this point it leaves many of us looking elsewhere for meaning. The Divine is something far more than any word or image can capture and so metaphors must change to reflect the truth of our experience. Come to All Saints this Sunday and experience a community that practices radical acceptance, intellectual integrity, and a progressive spirituality that embraces a vision of the Divine grounded in the experience of countless generations while seeking meaning that honors science and contemporary experience.

Last month we covered the proper immunizations for your dog; this month our focus is on cats. Dr. Nan Larsen of Dancing Cats Feline Health Center tells me that cat owners are much less likely to take their pet for regular check-ups and immunizations than dog owners. She says more awareness is needed regarding feline health.

cines. With adult cats we consider the number of vaccinations they have had and their risk of contracting disease. They may not need vaccinating. Elderly cats should also be carefully evaluated and not vaccinated unless absolutely necessary. Never allow your veterinarian to vaccinate your cat yearly for every vaccination on the market. Vaccines can have some very serious side effects, for instance fibrosarcoma.* Minimize the vaccines as much as possible. Educate yourself by visiting the following websites: CATVETS.COM and CATALYSTCOUNCIL.ORG. * Fibrosarcoma is an aggressive type of cancer that originates in the fibrous connective tissue. It is one of the most common musculoskeletal cancer found in cats. There are three causes of fibrosarcoma one of which is vaccine-induced sarcoma. Outside cats should be dewormed once to three times per year depending on their hunting habits. Cats that go outside should also be tested for feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline aids (FIV) on their annual visit. Leukemia-positive or FIVpositive cats can become immunosuppressed and have difficulty fighting off diseases. It’s best to make these inside cats only, as they act as virus reservoirs for uninfected cats. It is wise to test new cats you are bringing into your house before you introduce them to your resident cats.

Dr. Nan, tell us what vaccines we should provide our cats and how often they should be given? Kittens should be vaccinated starting at 6-8 weeks of age.

(Perhaps the universe has a sweet tooth?) Two years ago, on an anniversary trip to a cabin in Idaho, the couple stumbled, literally, on to a patch of thimbleberries and spent their planned hike collecting the pleasant surprise. A hasty Internet search yielded their first jam recipes. Back home in Utah, the couple work together on the business founded by Casee in 2004: Lady of the Rake Fine Gardening.

2011. By Christmas, many of the flavors created for their first official batch were sold out. The grant from Slow Food Utah, received earlier this year, allowed them to purchase supplies for expanding their operation—including setting up a booth at the Farmer’s Market, as well as copper jam pans for use with the simple, traditional recipes the couple favors. Heartened by the enthusiastic response, John Francis is looking forward to doubling production this season—but he states firmly that he plans to remain focused on small batches that must be crafted rather than manufactured. “We don’t want to be Smuckers,” says Francis. Commercial makers add stiffeners, preservatives, and other additives, including high-fructose corn syrup, to standardize the cooking process as well as extend shelf life; Amour’s way is to focus on batches of only 15-20 jars at a time. Preparation requires some ingredients that are in short supply for many: old-fashioned attention and time, as well as organic fruit, organic cane sugar, and organic lemon juice, with as much of the fruit and herb ingredients as possible sourced locally, from local or regional establishments such as Traces, S & R Fruits and Grant Family Farms. In addition to their commitment to slow food, John and Casee work to conduct their business in other ways that yield net gains for the community. Amour accepts returns of the glass jars, sterilizing and reusing them in the next batch.

Garlic & gazpacho Eat some fresh, locally grown garlic now! BY LETTY FLATT

I

keep a cute card pinned to the corkboard above my desk, a caricature of a girl wearing a pink dress, saddle shoes and oversized eyeglasses. Cursive below the knock-kneed girl reads, “Garlic is as good as 10 mothers.” What a great sentiment for garlic lovers! It says to me that garlic is medicinal; good for what ails you, and hints that garlic’s culinary properties enhance a mother’s cooking prowess. Or... some say the rest of the sentence is

Elephant garlic is an allium but not sativum — it is botanically a wild leek.

“...for keeping the boys [girls] away.” Either way, a 1980 documentary with that title, by Les Blank, is an ode to everything garlic. Garlic the vegetable is more than 10 of anything; there are hundreds of varieties of allium sativum. The two easily recognized sub-species are hardneck and softneck. These two have their own sub-varietals, with cultivar sub-groups yet under them. Each variation differs in color, size, flavor, rarity, weather fussiness, and growing and storage requirements. Some have larger and fewer cloves and some are spicier than others. Trivia: Elephant garlic is an allium but not sativum—it is botanically a wild leek. Choosing which varietal to grow and sell depends on garlic’s end use. We can generalize that softneck is the garlic we buy in grocery stores and there is a 60% chance it was grown in China. Softneck varieties are often used for braids because of the softer, pliable neck. Garlic from Gilroy, California, self-named “garlic

capitol of the world,” is usually softneck. Hardneck garlic is valued for complexity of flavor, fares well in cooler climes and has a shorter storage life. Scapes, the edible green stalks shooting out of the middle of garlic plants, likely come from hardneck garlic. They curl at the top like a pig’s tail, and have a tip resembling the onion dome of a Russian orthodox church. Cutting off the scape sends more nutrition to the garlic in the ground, though if the scape is not cut, the tip forms bulbils, or flowers, also edible. Until recently scapes were discarded or became compost material, but they have moved into our CSA boxes and onto restaurant menus. Scapes can be eaten raw, grilled or sautéed and make a delicious ingredient anywhere you might add garlic. Next in the spring, we enjoy “green” or young garlic, pulled from the ground before the cloves are well formed. Green garlic is mild compared to mature garlic and cooks showcase it in custards and in generous quantities. In Utah this month, garlic is mature and being harvested or cured; it needs to cure for three to four weeks before storage. It’s these cloves that go into the ground in the fall for next year’s harvest, like individual tulip bulbs. Each clove begets a multi-cloved bulb head. This time of year I make gazpacho, a cold soup of Spanish origin, with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and garlic. If there are more than 10 garlic varieties in the world, there are thousands of gazpacho recipes, variations on the hot weather and summer harvest theme. Because tomatoes are not in the mix, this recipe is untraditional. But it does have a good dose of garlic. If you hit a clove of garlic with the side of chef’s knife, the skin will loosen and make it easy to peel. u

This means that every vehicle trip counts—and every mile we devote to smarter travel pays us back with cleaner, more breathable air. The Clear the Air Challenge, issued by Governor Herbert, Mayor Becker, Mayor Corroon and other community leaders, is a month-long competition starting August 1 that gives us the chance to reduce our vehicle emissions by choosing alternatives to driving alone using “TravelWise” (see TRAVELWISE.ORG) strategies. By driving less and driving smarter, you will ultimately help improve air quality, reduce traffic congestion and conserve energy in Utah. You will also be eligible for weekly and grand prize drawings by meeting travel goals. The challenge is open to travelers of all ages. Clear the Air Challenge, Aug. 1-31. CLEARTHEAIRCHALLENGE.ORG

Parties, Festivals & Fundraisers Krishna’s Birthday Party Five thousand years ago, Shree Krishna appeared on Earth to protect the pious, annihilate the miscreants, and reestablish the principles of virtue. This was accomplished in a span of 125 years—at the end of which the Lord Krishna appeared as a fresh blooming youth. Before returning to his spiritual abode, the Lord spoke the Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) to his friend and disciple, Arjuna, thus

leaving behind Him a legacy of wisdom for the ages. Krishna is worshipped throughout India as “The Supreme Personality of Godhead.” Aside from the ubiquitous chanting there will be many other means of celebrating His advent during the celebration of Krishna’s earthly appearance: mantra music, drama, classical and folk dance and lots of food! This holiday for Hindus compares to Christmas Day for Christians. Krishna’s Birthday Party, Aug. 10 in Spanish Fork and Aug. 11 in SLC, 7p-midnight. SF Krishna Temple, 8628 S State Rd, Spanish Fork; SLC Krishna Temple, 965 E 3370 S. Free. UTAHKRISHNAS.COM

Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, the film puts the idea of food as medicine to the test. Cameras follow “reality patients” who have chronic conditions ranging from heart disease to diabetes as doctors teach them how to adopt a whole-foods, plant-based diet as the primary approach to treating their ailments. Join Professor Joan Benson from the University of Utah College of Health for a discussion of current research on diet and disease prevention following the film.

The series demystifies the glamour or Hollywood, while creating interesting portraits of the rich and famous in all their bizarre humanity. The UMOCA show runs through September 29; the First Friday opening includes a DJ, food, and a cash bar. First Friday: As it Lays, Aug. 3, 8-10p. UMOCA, 20 South West Temple.

Get ready to ride

How to make an old bike road-worthy BY STEVE CHAMBERS

I

f you’re new to bicycle commuting, or haven’t ridden a bike since you were a kid, you might not want to spend a lot of money on a bike until you know whether it’s really something you want to do. Maybe there’s an old bike in your garage or basement gathering dust. If so, you have a readymade laboratory to test your commitment to cycling. All you need to do is get that old bike ready to ride. Tires. Check the tread and sidewalls of your tires for cracks or splits. Pry any stones out of the tread. If you can see the lining of the tire anywhere, replace the tire. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure (found on the sidewall, just like on a car). Use a gauge. A tire invariably needs more air than you think by squeezing it. The simplest method is a floor pump with a built-in gauge. Let the tires sit overnight to make sure the tubes will hold their pressure. Once you start riding, check pressure at least weekly. When you inflate the tire, take care when removing the pump from the valve stem; it’s easy to tear or crack the stem against the wheel rim. I like to inflate my tires the night before a ride so that if I tear the stem, the tire is flat the next morning before my ride, not 20 minutes into the ride. Brakes. Squeeze both brake levers. Properly adjusted brakes should be fully tightened when the levers are pulled about halfway to the handlebars. Check the brake cables. Make sure the cables slide smoothly. Check cables for cracks or rust, and check the cable housings as well. Once again, squeeze the brake levers and note how the pads touch the wheel rims. They should contact the rim squarely, and shouldn’t touch the tire. While you’re looking at the brake pads, check them for wear. The small cutouts on each pad are wear indicators. When you can no longer see the cutouts, replace the pads. Flip the bike upside down and spin both wheels to see if the rims clear the brake pads.

Wheels. With the bike on its back, spin each wheel and check for wobbles. Wobbling wheels could be a sign of loose or broken spokes. Even if the wheel runs true, there might be a spoke or two that needs tightening. Gently squeeze each pair of spokes. There should be the same amount of play in each one. If not, one or the other is too loose or too tight. Unless you’ve had a class in basic bicycle maintenance or read a manual or two, tightening spokes is better left to a mechanic. It’s easy to over-tighten and snap a spoke. Pedals. Grasp the pedal ends of both cranks and try to move them sideways. If they move an equal amount right and left, that’s a sign the bottom bracket is loose. Tighten it. Seat. Make sure the saddle (seat) clamp and seat post bolts are tight. Don’t overtighten. Nuts and bolts. Pick your bike up and shake it. Feel and listen for anything loose, especially the front and rear wheel hubs. Tighten as necessary. Be sure to check racks, fenders and other accessories to make sure they are mounted securely and don’t obscure your lights or reflectors. Chainring and derailleur. Inspect your bike’s drive system: chainring (front), chain, and rear derailleur. If they are gunky, clean them with a bike degreaser and lubricate. Always wash and lube together. If you wash only, even with a careful drying there is a chance water will get in the bearings or other places rust can form. On the other hand, if you only lubricate, dirt can get in the lubricant and damage moving parts. So always treat washing and lubing as two parts of the same job. Once you’ve done all this, which will take an hour or less, hop on the bike and take a spin around the block. Go through all the gears, brake, stop, start, turn—in short do everything you would do on your ride. Listen for rattles and clunks, make sure the brakes and gears are smooth and the bike is still adjusted for you. Then get out there and ride. u Steve Chambers is a Salt Lake City lawyer and freelance writer. He has been commuting by bicycle part time for over 10 years.

Paul Wirth, Rolfer Mosaic Bodywork BY ALICE BAIN

ertified Rolfer and LMT Paul Wirth helps people move and live in their bodies. Injury, repetitive stress, and the process of aging leads the body to become compressed and to lose smooth mechanical function. Wirth says he helps the body decompress and lengthen, working with gravity instead of fighting it, and regaining a natural balance. People who come to Wirth’s practice often have a specific complaint, for example chronic back or neck pain or joint dysfunctions. Some, however, come seeking simply to improve: to gain an increased range of motion and an increased level of comfort and power with their body movements. “I get a lot of athletes recovering from an injury, and some just coming to improve how their bodies feel and work,” he says. “I get office workers, too; sitting all day is pretty hard on your body. It’s actually a lot easier on your body to walk all day than it is to sit down.” For a new client, Paul will take a history and find out what may be going on that might be relevant to the complaint—a past injury or surgery, or perhaps just what kind of activities you’ve been up to. He’ll

find out what you’ve been working on or struggling with. Then he’ll get you to walk for him so he can assess how the body is moving. “If, for example, you have a problem with your knees, I’m not just looking at your knees,” he says. “I look at how the whole body moves. I’ll ask myself what I see that could be influencing how much strain is going through that knee. Perhaps it’s due to how the foot falls, or how you might be holding your head too far forward. I look at the patterns of the body to understand how the movement and posture of each part is affecting all the others.” Paul studied at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado, finished his training in 2003 and has been practicing here in Salt Lake City ever since. “I got into Rolfing after I was injured in a vehicle accident, and had a really good experience receiving work from a Rolfer. I loved how it made me feel, and I found Rolfers to be intelligent and interesting people. I had always wanted a career that let me combine working physically with my hands and interacting with people, and it all just clicked together for me.” Paul is active in Salt Lake’s contact improv dance community; he is also a big fan of alternative transportation, and can be seen riding his bicycle in all sorts of weather. u Alice Bain is an editor at CATALYST and a Salt Lake-based artist. Look for her blog updates, appearing several times a week, at WWW.CATALYSTMAGAZINE.NET.

Decide to sprout

Soft roots work with life’s rocky soils

The dualities of the world are pulling us every which way, and we just don’t know where we’re standing. The external conflicts that we see mirror the internal conflicts we feel. And yet, there is an indication of change in the air. The resentments of the past are giving way, and something new is finally emerging.

Things that you want to create and do call you back into the light of life. There is no point fighting life’s challenges, or trying to avoid them or deny them. Life is just life, and it always creates one more thing for you to learn or deal with. Just like a seed on the cusp of sprouting, you sense you will soon have to deal with a new environment that is full of barriers to your growth. You don’t know what you’re becoming, just like a seed doesn’t know when it sprouts that it will ultimately produce a flower. That’s the way of things in life, and success is never guaranteed. Deciding to sprout means you’ll encounter many hazards, and that’s one reason why we often prefer to stay in the seed. Seeds are full of potential and possibility, and it’s alluring to remain in that state. As a seed, you’re secure and hidden from life’s harsh realities. But inside us all, we yearn to be more than just a potential of a flower—we want to be the real thing. In order to attain that, we have to shed our rigid shell and give up the

METAPHORS FOR THE MONTH security of living in a dream. We have to awaken to the full-contact sport that is life. Globally we are all sprouting simultaneously; a renaissance of creative potential is awakening in a flurry of expansion and change. We want to support each other in this rapid growth, as we relinquish our hardness and our protection. Sprouting is a state of softness and vulnerability, but it’s this same softness that allows us to creep into the cracks and crevices between the rocks and the restric-

There is no point fighting life’s challenges, or trying to avoid them or deny them. Life is just life, and it always creates one more thing for you to learn or deal with. tions that we live with in the world right now. We expand, gently, into an unknown future. Together we are starting to actively reach for the light, and to fulfill the potentialities that are ours. The dreaming seed puts out a root to test the soil, and a shoot to find the sun. We are in the yellow light of the third chakra, where the abundance of love overflows with compassion and the need to expand, move, and grow. Later when we get to the fourth chakra we will share this love with others, but right now it is about allowing the energy within us to overflow the banks of the con-

scious mind and to become an explosion of love, joy, blissfulness, and benediction. When we allow this, we can feel the freedom and natural effortlessness that is the infinite self emerging. Minds, however, love to perceive boundaries. We will create them even when they aren’t there. But existence has no boundary because beyond what we can perceive there is always a further level of reality. Challenge yourself to reject easy contentment. When you choose to be content with the boundaries your mind perceives, you remain small and hard, locked in your seedshell. Your life will be small, your joys will be small, your ecstasies will be small, and your experience of yourself will be small. Why do that when there is no need? My mother used to say, “You can be anything that you want to be and that you can responsibly dream into reality.” The key is that you have to manifest your dream responsibly into reality, which takes work and time. But what else were you planning to do with your life? So let yourself out of the cage of your mind. Laugh at the limitations that your mind attempts to impose. We can change the reality in which we find ourselves. It might be difficult work, but remember to be a soft root sprouting. Softness gets into places that seem difficult to manage, so be gentle with yourself and others. Choose to follow your life’s dream and mission. Choose it consciously, responsibly and with integrity. . u Suzanne Wagner is the author of numerous books and CDs on the tarot. SUZWAGNER.COM

AQUARIUM AGE

August 2012 Going to extremes BY RALFEE FINN ot only are we in the wake of July’s astral disturbances. We are also approaching an equally difficult September. And because the space in between—the days and nights of August—unfold along busy, diverse, and non-linear pathways, many of us are likely to find ourselves, or others, going to extremes.

N

nificant others, personal and professional. From Aug. 10-25, a Sun/Saturn sextile amplifies the serious side of those alliances. For those not spending the Sun/Mars/Saturn energy on partnerships, this entire bundle also has the power to sustain the determination as well as the discipline to focus on the smallest details

Saturn symbolizes the critical eye, which often manifests as a tendency to find the flaw. Be prepared for stark contrasts. Several of this month’s planetary patterns are invigorating, others are enervating, and the difference between these two levels of vitality could wreak havoc on nervous systems, especially if you tend toward spending your reserves. Time signatures are also slightly wacky. Don’t be surprised if one minute your feet feel firmly planted in the here and now, and the next, you’re catapulted into the past or projected into the future. Very little of August occurs along a straight line of reliable routines, and that erratic pulse can cause psychic dislocation to be a real hazard, especially as hearts and minds struggle to navigate myriad detours, diversions and digressions. The ability to make adjustments in the moment—physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually—is the key to successfully finding your way through the seeming chaos. Do whatever it is you do to stay flexible and aware, and you’ll find it much easier to stay present in the midst of August’s intensity. All month long, a Sun/Mars sextile, a potent positive alliance, supports enterprise and endeavor. The Sun signifies spirit. Mars represents ambition. And when they work together, we experience the enthusiasm to embrace life, fully. The Sun is in Leo, the fiery sign of creativity, and Mars is in Libra, the sign of relationship. Expect much of the inherent exuberance and passion of this sextile to translate into dynamic interactions with sig-

necessary to see a job through to completion. But there is a hitch: From August 6-August 24, a Mars/Saturn conjunction, in Libra, turns some relationship interactions slightly more stern than they might need to be. Saturn symbolizes the critical eye, which often manifests as a tendency to find the flaw. Unfortunately, when Saturn shares the same space with Mars, we tend to feel its influence as a judgmental viewpoint that always finds and focuses on the flaw—a gaze that inhibits the free flow of creativity. From a positive perspective, this conjunction provides the potential to focus one’s efforts on a particular project with indefatigable concentration. Precision flourishes under this influence. But excellence is never a valid excuse for cruelty toward others. Most of us will experience this Mars/Saturn conjunction as a test of nerves or an ordeal of frustration, especially immediately before and after August 15, when the conjunction is exact and separating. Whenever a powerful configuration separates, we tend to feel the full brunt of its force. Make an extra effort to avoid violence or meanspirited behavior of any kind. Don’t kick the dog, pull that cat’s tail, or barrage a loved one with words you’re certain to regret the moment they are said. Also be aware, we’re in the final leg of Saturn’s transit through Libra, a journey that began in October 2009 and ends on October 5, when Saturn enters Scorpio. This is the last Mars/Saturn conjunction

to occur in Libra for the next nearly 30 years. Handle it wisely by honoring all your relations. Fortunately, a Sun/Jupiter/ Uranus combination mitigates the potential bitterness of Mars/Saturn by generating an optimistic air and encouraging positive and hopeful alliances. This is a convivial, humorous and inventive planetary combination that can be put to good use finding solutions for almost every stuck and stymied situation. From Aug. 1-19, a Jupiter/Uranus sextile supports a clear perspective, capable of encompassing the biggest possible picture, as it simultaneously evaluates the consequences of certain choices; this is the astral signature that allows you to look before you leap.

attitudes and perceptions, when it immediately forms an opposition to Neptune, in Pisces. A Sun/Neptune opposition inclines psyches toward a deep susceptibility to suggestion. Pay attention: Personal as well as political promises made under this influence appeal more to fantasy than to fact. Listen carefully to what’s being said, and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. A Sun/Pluto trine also begins on August 22, stimulating a desire for power, individual and collective. The good news is that this is a positive contact that stimulates innovative, creative power that expresses itself in a multitude of ways from the physical to the metaphys-

Make an extra effort to avoid violence or mean-spirited behavior of any kind. That clarity softens the edge of a Sun/Uranus trine that operates during the first week of the month. Sun/Uranus interactions feed the need to break free from whatever enslaves, and rebels with and without causes hear its call and move into action. This should come as no surprise, as rebellion increasingly challenges the status quo all around the world. The good news is that from Aug. 1-10, a Sun/Jupiter sextile has the power to turn protests positive as well as effective through a genuine, unselfish concern for others. More good news: Mercury goes direct on August 8, and as the planet of language and communication gains forward momentum, it joins with Jupiter and Mercury, amplifying a positive mindset. From August 13-22, a Mercury/Uranus trine increases an aptitude for free thinking as it simultaneously enhances the gift for gab—everyone has the potential for more than a fair share of the blarney. And there’s more. From the 16-27, a Mercury/Jupiter sextile will fuel bloggers across the universe to share opinions on every subject. The Sun enters Virgo on August 22, a move that substantially alters

ical. This trine lasts until September 6. To an untrained eye, August’s multidimensional mosaic might resemble a display of celestial anarchy. But a more precise look makes it possible to identify essential themes, which might provide a sense of order. We also need to remember that what happens in August sets the stage for the second exact Uranus/Pluto square in September; as we move closer to that contact, many of us are likely to feel increased anxiety. Specific to our personal situations or only nonspecific against the backdrop of world events, it matters not. Most of us will feel the intensity intensify, making it all the more important to remember to be kind and caring toward our fellow travelers. In most instances, it’s the only way to make a real difference in the lives of those we love. u Visit Ralfee’s website at WWW.AQUARIUMAGE.COM or email her at RALFEE@AQUARIUMAGE.COM
