Utah climate activist Tim DeChristopher, recently released from jail after serving 21 months for disrupting an auction for oil and gas drilling rights, appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last month to discuss his case and the documentary Bidder 70. In addition to DeChristopher’s story, we found his comments on prison insightful: “We have a vastly different justice system today than we did a generation ago, with an order of magnitude more people in prison.... Mass incarceration didn’t happen because of some drastic shift in human nature, it happened because the private prison industry was able to change our laws that allow us to lock up a lot more normal people.”
Download Marla Dee’s new book for free Marla Dee, onetime CATALYST staffer and columnist—and perhaps the original clutter-clearing expert in Utah with her business Clear and Simple—has published a new book: “The ART (Acceptance, Release and Trust) of Letting Go.” She aims to help us
gain independence from our stuff and fears—no small task. If you’re a would-be member of CLUTTERERSANONYMOUS.ORG, this book will do you good.

Wasatch Commons new solar Wasatch Commons, the cohousing community west of downtown, recently installed solar panels. The panels will produce enough energy to power all of their common electrical needs, as well as two electric cars. Their new solar array is made up of 49 panels, each seven feet square, generating 11,760 watts total. They’re expecting 21,400 kilowatts of energy per year, equating to an annual savings of $2,000 and a reduction of 44,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. The project is the culmination of five years’ work and planning, and is made possible through a Rocky Mountain Power solar rebate program. Wasatch Commons offers tours every fourth Wednesay at 5 p.m. and on second Saturdays at 1 p.m. 801.908.0388. WWW.COHOUSING.ORG. CONTENT.CSBS.UTAH.EDU/~EHRBAR/COHO/
“Turn spare change into real change” You might notice 13 new red meters downtown, part of a new collection effort for the Homeless Outreach Service Team (HOST). Police Chief Chris Burbank urges us to put our spare change in those meters instead of into the hands of panhandlers. “That money goes to support the Fourth Street
Senior Curator Aaron Moulton, who has been prolific in his brief tenure (less than two years), has left the museum this month, reportedly “to pursue further opportunities in the field.” His edgy exhibitions covered topics such as LGBT politics, sexuality and new media art. The inaugural Utah Biennial titled “Mondo Utah” is currently in the Main Gallery. “Gianni Pettana: Forgiven by Nature,” about an icon of Italy’s Radical Architecture movement who taught at the U of U in 1972, runs through September 21. Until a new senior curator is chosen, Assistant Curator Rebecca Maksym will carry out programming set in motion by Moulton. This interview with Moulton in the current Spike Art Quarterly makes us especially sad to see him go, for it shows how much we are losing: SPIKEART.AT/ EN/A/MAGAZINE/CURRENT/TALK_7 UMOCA, 20 S.
