WESTERN HAPPENINGS
Movie & Western Memorabilia Museum at Red Cliffs Lodge
Red Cliffs Lodge, on the banks of the mighty
Colorado River, is home to the Moab Museum of Film
& Western Heritage. The lodge is built on the old George
White Ranch, a key location for nine of the big westerns
including Rio Grande, Cheyenne Autumn, Ten Who Dared,
The Commancheros, and Rio Conchos.
The late George White was founder of the Moab to
Monument Valley Film Commission, the longest ongoing
film commission in the world.
In the museum one can learn more about film
locations, how the sets are built, and how the filming
process is managed on nature’s own sound stage. On
display in the museum are production photographs, movie
posters, autographed scripts, props from the many pictures
filmed in the area, and displays about the western ranching
heritage. For information, call Red Cliffs Lodge at 2592002.
Through the magnificent landscapes of southeastern
Utah, writers have been inspired and stories born here.
Zane Grey, the famous western novelist, traveled through
the area in 1912. His visit inspired him to write his book
Riders of the Purple Sage. The book was made into a
movie starring Ed Harris and Amy Madigan, and filmed
on locations around Moab.
A partial list of stars
that have made movies in Moab
John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Henry Fonda,
Lee Marvin, Rock Hudson, Jimmy Stewart, Richard Boone, Anthony
Quinn, Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple, Kris Kristofferson, Billy
Crystal, Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman, Bill Murray, Jack Palance,
Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Ted Danson,
Tom Cruise, and many more.

free black man from upstate New York, is abducted
and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty as well as
unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not
only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. 9 Oscar

How To Get A Drink...
...In Moab, Utah
Recent changes to Utah Liquor Laws have made it
less confusing and easier to get an alcoholic drink. You
can now go to some restaurants and without ordering
food, you can order a drink.
Some restrictions may still apply as to where you
can sit in a particular establishment when consuming
alcohol. For example, Zax has an adult atmosphere
in the Watering Hole where you can order a cocktail
and watch your favorite sporting event on their 13 tvs,
with or without ordering food. This locally owned
full-service restaurant serves their entire menu in both
the Watering Hole and restaurant. However, if you sit
in the family dining restaurant, you need to order food
to consume an alcoholic beverage.
Moab Brewery, Moab’s only on-site microbrewery,
offers a variety of locally brewed beers in their bar.
They are a new packaging agency where they can
sell full strength beer to go. Moab Brewery beer is
available at other restaurants in town.
Many flavors are on sale at retail
stores in Moab as well in the
Salt Lake City area.
Three upscale
lounges are in Moab.
Blu Bar, located at
The Blu Pig is Moab's
newest adult libation
headquaters (see ad
on p.13). Vista Lounge
located inside Buck’s
Grill House (see ad on p.12)
and The Ghost Bar, upstairs at
Jeffrey’s Steakhouse (see ad on
p.12). All three locations have a
sophisticated and casual atmosphere to relax and wait
for dinner or to just stop in at the end of the day and
have a drink to unwind.
Moab has two local wineries. Castle Creek Winery
is located at Red Cliffs Lodge, 15 miles from
Moab on Scenic Highway 128 (The River
Road). Spanish Valley Vineyards is located
just off Highway 191, south
of Moab about 6 miles on
Zimmerman Lane. Both
wineries have on-site
tasting rooms and wine
available for sale. Utah
State Liquor Stores also
sell many local wines.
If you would like to try
some of these award winning
vintages, look for restaurants serving
these Moab wines.
The Utah State Liquor Store is the only location
where you can purchase bottled liquor, wine and beer
with an alcoholic content above 3.2%. The Moab
store is located at 55 West 200 South and is open
from Monday through Saturday (11:00 am to 9:00
pm - May 1st to November 1st and from 11:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m - November 1st to May 1st). They are closed
on Sundays and Holidays. Moab Brewery now has a
package agency open every day at 11:30 am where you
can purchase their new higher volume beer selection.
Beer (3.2% alcohol content) for take-out can be
purchased at food stores and convenience stores for
off-premise consumption only. Moab Brewery, now a
packaging agency, sells full strength beer to go. See ad
on this page. On-premise beer (you can drink it here)
is available at various licensed locations, including
taverns, golf courses, bowling alleys, and restaurants
that have the required beer license.
Utah law forbids open containers in or about any
motor vehicle. A blood alcohol level of 0.08% (0.05%
if you have a child in the car with you) is the maximum
allowable under Utah Code to be declared “driving
under the influence.”

TRAIL HAPPENINGS
Klonzo Loops: Fun Run in the Sun
Article by Karen Wenzel
Photographs by Sandy Freethey, Bill Reddington, and Karen Wenzel
Searching for a sunny and scenic run during the
shorter daylight hours in March gave me incentive to drive
10 miles north of Moab to explore the Klonzo Mountain
Bike Trail System as a cross-country running route.
panoramic view. It’s worth twirling around to see the La
Sals covered in new snow ahead, Arches to the east, then
Klondike Bluffs further north. No one is around.
All I can hear is my breath and heart beat. The warm
sun on my face and the incredible views slow my pace for a
moment. I wish I could
hang there and soak up
the wonderful feeling a
bit longer, but happily,
as I descend from this
point, the views of
Arches and Klondike
continue to amaze me.
I’m now headed to
the lower loops, which
connect to Boondocks
at the bottom. There are
endless combinations
to consider—or not
consider—because you
cannot get lost. Even if
somehow you skip a
loop, it’s easy to pick
it up later. Whichever
way your feet take
you, you will be
headed to Boondocks
after reaching the top
of Wahoo.
While the surface and terrain change, I feel a
rollercoaster effect to my stride, slowly running up a
few steeper but short hills, then my feet fly down the fast
descents. The elevation is 4,400’ at the parking lot, and the
total altitude gain is 400’ to the top of Wahoo with lots
of rollers in between. If running all the trails is your goal,
you’ll get 11 to 12 miles with 1,500 vertical feet. Each
loop has unique geologic features. Sandstone sculptures
outline much of the trail, and junipers, cactus, and various
desert plants grow out of the sandstone floor. Red rock
rims seem to separate each loop. The salt wash you cross
on Boondocks is a member of the late Jurassic Period’s
Morrison Formation, about 140 million years old. When I
return to the top of Boondocks, another yellow smiley face
on the map lets me know where I am.
G
As I turn off Highway 191 to the right (east) onto Willow
Springs Road, the contrast of the turquoise stripe in the hills
captures my gaze. I drive along the hard-packed sandy road
for about 2.7 miles to the Klonzo Trailhead. At the trailhead
is a very detailed map, a description of each loop, and how
they connect, so I don’t need to worry about where to go, just
how long I want to be out. This makes it easy to get rolling
since my car is never too far away.
I’ve decided my best
loop combo of seven
connecting loops [is?]
to head up a gentle hill
to the right, Borderline.
I run a few minutes up
a smooth, undulating
hill when I see another
detailed
map
with
choices to make. The sun
is warm and still high,
so I decide to head off to
Wahoo, the top loop of
the trail system. Views
are spacious as the trail
shifts to more slickrock
with fun contours. Now
that I’ve reached the
highest section of the
loop at Wahoo, I have a
a
re
od
t Fo
&
Fresh
Br
ew
The sun has lasted longer than I had expected, so I
run a little faster and take the extended route. All loops
completed, I finally descend Borderline back to the car.
The sun is going down fast as dark shadows begin to roll
quickly into my sunny oasis. The sky turns a warm, pinkish
orange as I just beat the last remaining rays of sunshine,
and those turquoise hills once again catch my gaze as they
turn blue in the sunset.
Even though this run is not an out-and-back or longloop adventure run, the trail bends and rolls with surprising
new vistas around every corner. The trails are smooth and
have easy footing, so you can knock out a great training
run or a scenic jog with your furry, four-legged best friend.
Inexpensive, detailed Klonzo Mountain Bike Trail System
maps created by Moab Trails Alliance and Trail Mix are
available at the bike shops. So, go get loopy and have a fun
run in the sun!
Karen Wenzel runs trails, rides mountain bikes, and
skis throughout Colorado and Utah. When in Moab, she
builds trails with the Trail Mix crew.
Trail Mix is an advisory committee
to Grand County in the development
and maintenance of non-motorized
trails. The committee represents nonmotorized users including bikers, hikers,
equestrians, and skiers. Many government
agencies and private citizens make up the “mix” that makes
this group work so well. Come join us on the 2nd Tues. of
each month from 12-2 at the Grand Center (500W. 182 N.).
Everyone is welcome. Contact Sandy Freethey 259-0253

RUNNING HAPPENINGS
Canyonlands Half Marathon and Five MIle Run Celebrate 39th Year
Youth Garden Project, and the Grand County High School
Track team. “We receive a great deal of community support for this event from many organizations throughout the
community, without their support it wouldn’t be possible to
make this event so successful,” says Race Director Ranna
Bieschke.
Race start times are 9:30 am for the Five Mile Run and
10:00 am for the Half Marathon. Spectators are encouraged to come out and cheer for the athletes along 500 West,
400 North and the finish area expo at Swanny City Park.
Spectators and racers can enjoy live music, a fun variety of
vendors and Moab Brewery’s award winning beer for those
21 years of age or older.
The Moab Half Marathon thanks all participants and
community members for their support of this year’s event.
See you at the finish line!
NOTICE
Highway 128 will be closed Saturday,
March 16 from 8 AM—1 PM.
On Saturday March 15th, nearly 5000 runners are expected to line up for the 39th Annual Canyonlands Half
Marathon and Five Mile Run. Among the racers will be
seasoned veterans, first-time half-marathoners, families,
locals, as well as visitors from all over the world. 120
participants will be running the race for at least the tenth
year; 30 will be coming from outside the United States, and
another 30 will be older than 70. Forty-five states will be
represented, with Utah residents making up just over half
the participants.
Friday March 14th the race packet pickup and expo
will kick off at the Center Street Gym. This is where runners will congregate to pick up their bib numbers, race
shirts and goody bags. There will also be vendors set up
to sell a variety of items that should appeal to runners and
their families.
Also taking place on Friday in the evening will be the
Youth Garden Project’s delicious pasta dinner at the Moab
Community Church, 544 MiVida Drive (near Swanny
Park, the Canyonlands finish area) from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets
($16 adults, $7 children under 12) may be purchased in
advance or at the door. The dinner is open to the general
public as well as racers, their friends and families.
Canyonlands Half Marathon is proud to continue the
use of compostable cups at the expos, race starts, along the
course and at the finish line. Volunteers and race crew will
collect these cups in special cans and later transport them
to a commercial composting facility in Grand Junction.
Race participants are encouraged to look for and use the
special cans for their water and Gatorade cups, in addition
to the recycle cans that will be available.
500 West and 400 North along the race course
will be restricted or closed to traffic between 9
AM and 2 PM on Saturday, March 15.
Packet Pickup Expo Location:
Center Street Gym, 217 East Center St
Friday 1-9 PM
Saturday 7—7:30 AM
Five Mile Run shuttles will load at
HMK Elementary School at 7:30 AM.
Half Marathon shuttles will load at the
south side of Swanny City Park at 7:30 AM.
Runners and spectators are encouraged to walk
to Swanny City Park from their hotels,
as parking is limited.
One of Moab Half Marathon’s major objectives is to
give back to the community. This year alone, the event will
donate over $10,000 to the Humane Society of Moab Valley, Ride with Respect, Club Red, Young Life, Canyonlands
Rodeo Committee, the Tool Shed, Girls on the Run, the
Run With the Sun in Monument Valley
To kick the season off in the spirit of outdoor adventure,
the Monument Valley Ultras foot race will be held on
March 15, 2014 in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal
Park. Running 50 miles or the alternative 50k will get your
juices flowing right along with the spring weather. The
race will begin near the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal
Park Visitor Center at first light on the Ides of March and
follows the Wildcat singletrack around the West Mitten.
Runners will arrive just in time to witness the sun peak into
Monument Valley. The first aid station is another 5.5 miles
along where the second leg of the course begins and follows
horseback trails around towering sandstone pinnacles
before looping back to the aid station for a second time at
mile 11. This time the route heads off in another direction
for a 9.5 mile run through the desert and past several
remote monuments visited only by guided tour. Navajo
guides will be on the trails on horseback to ensure runners
remain on the correct path. Mile 20.6 brings you back to
the aid station where you can re-group before heading out
on the daunting 1,200 foot climb up onto seldom visited
Mitchell Mesa. The turn-around at the top of the mesa
rewards your hard work with stunning views of the valley
and it’s monuments. The remaining route will take runners
back to the aid station. Those intrepid enough to push on
to complete the 50 mile course will retrace their steps in the
opposite direction and gain a new perspective on the Valley
and it’s Monuments. The 50 k runners will return via the
direct route to the starting point.
Race check-in is Friday evening from 5:00-8:00 PM
at Gouldings Trading Post Museum, just outside the tribal
park. (www.gouldings.com) Runners can stay at Gouldings
Lodge or at Gouldings Campground 5 miles from the
Tribal Park, which offers showers and a swimming pool. A
grocery store, convenience store, gift shop, restaurant, and
museum are also on the property. Other lodging properties
and amenities are 25 miles north at Mexican Hat, Utah.
All area lodging properties and amenities can be found at
www.utahscanyoncountry.com.

etc. go to www.ultra-adventures.com.
Coming up in April, which isn’t too far off, is the
STEAM Maker Expo – Science, Technology, Engineering,
Art, and Mathematics. Held on April 11th and 12th at Utah
State University Blanding Campus, the event will showcase
the interaction of science, technology, engineering, art,

NATURE HAPPENINGS
Spring has Sprung
Basin White Cup Spring Parsley
I know that the snow and ice are not gone. Or that winter
winds won’t blow their Arctic breath across these canyons.
I know the calendar says March, but I also know that winter
can linger like an obnoxious
guest, overstaying their
welcome and not knowing
when to leave. I know the
heat and warmth of spring
will arrive, that memories
of morning ice will thaw,
but that winter may still Canyonlands Biscuitroot
make a cameo appearance.
All this knowledge, but it is the tell-tale signs of blooming
wildflowers that indicates spring has sprung.
March is a fickle month in Canyon Country. Seventy
degrees one week and snow the next. I’ve experienced
the spring break week in shorts and sandals or decked
out in down parkas and snow boots. One has to be ready
By Damian Fagan
for whatever weather curveballs
Spring throws.
But as the daylight hours
lengthen and the temperatures
start to rise, it is the appearance of
desert wildflowers that gives me
hope spring is just around the next
canyon wall.
Depending upon the year,
I have found wildflowers blooming
as early as January 1. Of course,
those plants were growing in

gathering extra warmth from the surrounding sandstone
and protected from sand-blasting winds.
sand dunes, these plants were
harvested by Native Americans
as a food source. Both lomatiums
attract flies as pollinators; the
Canyonlands biscuitroot may
perfume the air with a skunklike aroma to entice the winged
pollinators to their flowers.

February, too, may welcome some hardy perennials
or weedy annuals to the wildflower report, but March is
the real kick-off season when the wildflower season gets
into gear.
Some of the earliest perennial wildflowers to send up
their flowering stalks are members of the Carrot, Mustard
and Pea families.
Often the first plant that I find in bloom is the Parry’s
Lomatium (Lomatium parryi). This Carrot family member
sends up its flowering stalks first, almost like sending out
the groundhog to see if winter is over. The low growing,
Parry’s Biscuitroot

flat-topped clusters of tiny yellowish flowers may be easily
overlooked unless you are looking for this transition time
from winter to spring. Named for Charles Christopher
Parry (1823-1890) who was the first official botanist of the
U.S.D.A. and western plant collector, this plant an early
spring season pioneer.
Another close relative of the lomatium is the
Canyonlands biscuitroot (Lomatium latilobum). An
endemic, this plant is found in association with Entrada
Sandstone and has a very limited distribution. Prime
examples of the plant grow in Arches National Park’s Fiery
Furnace. Arising from taproots often buried deep in small

members of the Mustard family, twinpods have four
spatula-shaped petals, and these flowers turn into inflated
pods later in the plant’s life cycle. The twin seedpods, fused
along a common seam, give rise to the common name.
Though the procession of desert wildflowers is just
gaining speed in March, this parade has a number of
representatives that add splashes of color to the landscape.
Indian paintbrush, toadflax, locoweed, popcorn plant,
evening primrose, and cave primrose are some of the
many perennial plants that may bloom early in spring.
The annual wildflowers, whose seeds have lain dormant
through the winter, are also stirring to life if the soil holds
sufficient moisture. Their emergence is just behind these
early perennials and contributes to the “Sproing” of spring.
HIKING HAPPENINGS
Double Arch – Not To Be Overlooked
Arches, along with all our other
national parks, is a showcase of
America’s best treasures – a precious
bounty of spectacular scenery and
unique habitat that should never
be taken for granted. On March
1, 1872 Yellowstone, with its
amazing display of geysers and hot
springs, was designated as our first
national park. Forty-four years later,
Congress created the National Park
Service, which now oversees 58 national parks; Utah ranks
highest in numbers with five: Arches, Bryce, Canyonlands,
Capitol Reef and Zion.
Some of the earliest settlers in Moab made regular
excursions into “The Arches,” and word started to spread
about this arch-filled wonderland. But it stayed low-key
until December 1922 when the gold mining prospector
Alexander Ringerhoffer wandered into Klondike Bluffs,
where he stumbled upon Tower Arch and the other splendid
formations in that region. Anxious to publicize his discovery,
he mailed a letter to the Rio Grande Western Railroad,
a correspondence that eventually spurred a campaign to
establish “Arches” as a national monument or park.
On April 12, 1929, this possibility turned into a reality
when President Herbert Hoover signed the order to reserve
4,520 acres as Arches National Monument. Then Lyndon

Johnson issued an executive order
to increase its size to 82,953 acres,
one of his last acts in office. In 1971,
Congress reduced the area by 9,574
acres but upgraded it to a national
park. The final transformation took
place in October 1998 when President
Bill Clinton added 3,140 acres of Lost
Spring Canyon, which increased it to
76,519 acres.
Hosting more than a million
people every year, the park’s biggest draws are Delicate
Arch, Devil’s Garden, Balanced Rock and The Windows.
The lesser-known Double Arch, however, should also be
included on every visitor’s must-see list.
Due to its humungous size – the highest
and third longest in the park - it is one of
the more dramatic spans on display in this
locality.
The salmon-colored Entrada Sandstone
is the major building block of arch formation
in this little corner of the universe, and
scientists believe most of them were created
during the last million years. In most cases
the foundation is a narrow sandstone wall
called a fin. Water acts as the sledgehammer
when it seeps into the cracks, freezes and
expands with so much pressure that chunks
of rocks fall out, until eventually there’s an
opening. Even today this process continues.
Sometimes, however, an arch begins
in a depression – a pothole - on the top of
a fin near a cliff face where water seeping
through forms an alcove. Meanwhile erosion
is deepening the pothole from above until
an opening is created and a pothole arch, such as Double
Arch, is born. Double Arch began as a single identity and
ended up as a twin. In the past this formative feature was
also called Double Windows, Twinbow Bridges and the
Jug Handles.
To get to Double
Arch drive five miles
north from the center of
town on Highway 191
to the entrance station.
Then continue 9.2 miles
and turn right at the sign
for The Windows. The
road ends in 2.5 miles at
the trailhead for Double
Arch, which is located
at the second parking area. During the busy tourist season it
fills up fast and the early bird is the one who will more easily
find a parking spot!
The ¼ mile sandy trail easily transports me through
the trademark high desert vegetation of blackbrush, juniper,
yucca, pinyon pine and Mormon tea. After a short climb in to
a rocky amphitheater, craning my neck I stare directly above
at the staggering proportions of Double Arch - a whopping
144 foot width by 112 foot height. Its smaller sibling, also a
hulking giant, impressively measures in at 67 feet wide, 86
feet high.
My
neck
craning position can
only last so long and
with a sigh of relief I
stretch out on a large
hard-rock
bench.
Now I can more
comfortably absorb
the immensity of
these two gigantic
skylights framing a satiny blue sky as four ravens flap in
and out of the open windows. I have seen pothole arches
before, but nothing compares to the monstrous proportions
of these two.
Eventually I am casting my vision out to another
attention-grabbing scene where a wintry geologic landscape
awaits my inspection - a tantalizing sideways glimpse of
The Windows - a massive series of rocks called The Parade
Of Elephants – and a
topsy-turvy balanced
rock. But there’s more,
so much more, as this
exhibit of odd-shaped
rocks continues –
imaginative castles and
buttressing towers –
bulbous pillars of stone
by Marcy Hafner
– and obsessively fat
sandstone
thumbs
protruding from the
ground. Augmenting
this already stunning
vista is the dazzling
creamy-white
brilliance of the La
Sals featuring South
Mountain and Mt.Tukuhnikivatz, a starring cast of sparkling
jewels on the southeastern horizon.
For a while I have this prized front row seat all to myself
and I savor these fleeting moments of soothing solitude. The
only sounds to be heard pour forth from the ravens – cawing
and gurgling vocalizations performed by a playful corvid
quartet.
Before long a few sightseers trickle in. Upon their
arrival I can’t help but notice their various reactions to this
wondrous treasure.
A
young
girl
broadcasts “Echoes,
Echoes,
Echoes”
in hopes the stone
walls will respond.
Full-of-energy kids
try out their rockhopping skills, while
others just quietly
watch and admire.
They have all come here to appreciate, each in his own way,
this amazing feat of geology as a first time visitor succinctly
sums it up in one word - “Wow!”
Fortunately our ancestors had the foresight to understand
the need to create a national park system that is accessible
to the entire public. Yosemite, Glacier, the Grand Canyon,
etc. are part of our American heritage, and we are so lucky
to have Canyonlands and Arches in our backyard for people
from all parts of the world to enjoy.

Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour in Moab
I Am Red
The Last Ice Merchant
Bringing together the year’s finest films on adventure
sports and mountain culture, the 37th annual Banff
Mountain Film Festival World Tour is returning to Moab
on Monday, March 10th.
After
the
Banff
Mountain Film Festival,
held every November in
the Canadian Rockies, the
World Tour picks up and
spreads out across the globe,
stopping in 30 countries
for over 550 screenings.
Spice Girl (Reel Rock 8)
Each screening highlights a
selection of the Festival films
of particular interest to the local audience.
Nine films will be shown in Moab this year. The films
cover topics such as climbing, mountain biking, skiing,
surfing and mountain culture. Once again, the films in their
totality offer a global travel log. They are: Cascada, Keeper
of the Mountain, North of the Sun, Sufferfest, I Am Red,
The Last Ice Merchant, Poor Man’s Heli, Spice Girl (Reel
Rock 8) and Valhalla.
For the eleventh year
running, the climbinggear and headlamp
manufacturer Petzl is
sponsoring the fun filled
night in Moab. “These
films are a celebration of
the outdoor lifestyle and North of the Sun
living life to fullest. It’s a perfect fit for a brand like ours”
says John Evans, Petzl’s Marketing Director who had
the idea to bring the Festival to Moab back in 2003. “We
Cowboy

really owe the success of the event to the local organizer,
his volunteers especially tech guy Miso, and all the Moab
sponsors. Without them, it wouldn’t happen.”
Many of the stops on the Banff world tour raise money
for local outdoor programs, community causes and nonprofits. The Moab stop will raise funds for the Access
Fund Land Conservation Campaign, a multi-million dollar
revolving grant fund that helps local climbing organizations
across the United States to acquire land and preserve it for
climbing or climbing access.
Plan your trip to Moab this fall around the Banff Centre’s
Radical Reels which will screen for the third year running on
Saturday, October 11th. This event is also sponsored by Petzl
and our same great local sponsors and benefits the Friends of
the La Sal Avalanche Center. This is a great local cause that
supports Moab’s winter sports scene with mountain weather
reports and avalanche forecasts.
Both of these events are sponsored by the same
great local businesses. So, while in Moab, please support
Adventure Inn Moab, Canyon Voyages, Eddie McStiff’s,
Footprints, Love Muffin Café, Moab Half Marathon,
Pagan Mountaineering, Poison Spider Bicycles, TimesIndependent Publishing, and Western Spirit Bike
Adventures.
The films will be screened
in the Grand County High
School Auditorium (608 S. 400
E) at 7:00pm. Doors open at
6:15.
Tickets to event are $10
in advance and $15 at the Valhalla
door (if still available) and can be purchased at Back of
Beyond Bookstore, Canyon Voyages Adventure Co.,
Pagan Mountaineering, and Poison Spider Bicycles. For
more information, see the

Moab has become known worldwide as
a mountain biking mecca. The canyon
country around Moab offers some of
the most unique and varied landscape on
earth, from 13,000 foot peaks and high
alpine meadows to high desert vistas
above the sandstone canyons. Varied
terrain and spectacular scenery bring
riders from all over the world to Moab
to try the trails. One of the most famous
and popular is the Slickrock Trail. This
trail is 12 miles of moderate-to-difficult
riding on Navajo sandstone, located

many other trails and old jeep roads
in the area which provide a complete
variety of mountain biking challenges.

March 8-11 brings road cyclists from around the
country to enjoy four days of fully supported, world class
road cycling routes through Moab’s most spectacular
landscape. Participants are treated to rolling spins along
the Colorado River, to Dead Horse Point State Park, and
the crown jewel of a ride through Arches National Park.
The Festival quickly became a pilgrimage for cyclists
eager to brush off the winter cold and venture into warmer
spring temperatures in Moab. This cycling season opener
has attracted riders from not only regional states, but
throughout the nation and Canada.
What is it about the Moab Skinny Tire Festival that
attracts roadies from all over? It’s not just the amazing
landscape where one’s soul can come out and play, it’s
not just the inspirational views that make one feel both
empowered and insignificant at the same time. It’s a
combination of that and the underlining emotions of
hundreds of others coming together sharing a passion. For
a reason!
Established as a benefit ride for cancer survivorship
programs and research, all donations go into changing the
world of cancer. “We’ve had cyclists attending this event
every year since its inception; we are like family. We’ve
shared laughter and tears as we’ve all gone through some
kind of cancer experience and put purpose to our cycling”,
said founder Mark Griffith who lost his older brother to
cancer. Cyclists register and donate locally to the Moab
Regional Hospital’s two room cancer treatment and
resource center as well as other regional cancer related
charities.
In addition to the local cause, over the past thirteen
years, cyclists have donated $4 million to various cancer
research and survivorship programs all over the world. The
Huntsman Hometown Heroes (HHH) team raises funds for
much needed research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Scott Boyer, a HHH Team member said “This will be our
5th year riding a tandem bicycle to support this worthy
cancer event. We will cycle over 150 miles and dedicate
our ride to a friend who was diagnosed
recently with advanced colon cancer.
My wife Marly is six years cancer free
and we believe that every day with
each other is a blessing.
We wish for a day when cancer
can only be found using a Google
history search”.
This event is a fundraiser for
cancer research and survivorship
programs. Cyclists are inspired to put
purpose to their cycling and ride one
day or all four!
Non-riders make a difference too!

GALLERY HAPPENINGS
Big Horn Gallery presents Beauty of the West
Bighorn Gallery at the Deadhorse Point State Park
Visitor Center presents a compelling photographic
expression, Beauty of the West, an artwork display by Utahbased photographers Dustin LeFevre and Chad Dutson.
The exhibit features unique perspectives of landscapes
found throughout the West: desert, forest, and coastal
scenes. The artwork will be on display March 1 – April
29, 2014, and includes more than twenty photographs. An
open house reception will be held Saturday, March 1, from
2:00-5:00 PM.
Dustin LeFevre is an award-winning and published
wilderness photographer, born with an innate desire to
explore. Growing up in Utah, he has always appreciated
the beauties of the diverse landscapes of the West. When he
is not working at his “9 to 5” job, he can be found hopping
in an airplane or in a car chasing “the shot.” Dustin’s
signature style is night photography, capturing familiar
landscapes under a new light. He strives to capture not just
what is in front of his lens, but also the way it makes him
feel, and hopes his feeling translates into the final image.
Dustin says it best, “I fly a lot. I drive a lot. I take tons of
pictures.
Chad Dutson is a fine art wilderness photographer
whose admiration for nature grows with each photographic
adventure. He spent all but three years of his life living
in the West, providing him incredible opportunities to

nd
enhance his self-taught craft. Chad has an insatiable desire
to wander the wild, seeking solitude and serenity away from
the bustle of city life. His deep passion for photography
pushes him to extremes to capture the right shot. After
each excursion he shares his experience with others,
yearning they may fall in love with nature as he has. He
boldly states, “Some say they lose themselves in one thing
or another; however I find myself through photography,
losing only the sense of time. Photography brings out the
emotion I feel for both nature and humanity. Capturing a
York Times, and Reader’s Digest. In 2006, Till was also
inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Dan Norris became a Moab resident in 1992, but he
first fell in love with the area on a photography trip to Moab
in 1986. Norris has conducted photography workshops
about the Moab area since the early 1990s and has been
featured in many publications, including National Parks
Magazine and PURSUIT Magazine.
Susan Taylor brings the flair of rock and roll to the
exhibit with her stunning images of Neil Young, ZZ Top,
and more. Taylor is a San Francisco based award winning
and internationally published photographer. Her work
has been featured in Guitar Player Magazine, Outdoor
Photographer Magazine, and with calendars for the

EDUCATIONAL HAPPENINGS
Work, Study, and Recreate in Moab
by USU Student Brian Hays
I spend the day patrolling the park, answering visitors’
questions, and responding to incidents as a ranger in
Canyonlands National Park. I’ve worked here for five
years and enjoy the variety of the job and the landscape.
At the end of the day, I call out of service with dispatch
and head home. We take a quick ride towing the girls in the
bike trailer before it’s time for dinner, baths, a toothbrush
battle and bedtime story.
Tonight, I have two courses to work on: Innovation
and Technology in Criminal Justice and Natural Resources
and Environmental Economics. I’m completing a master
of natural resources degree through Utah State University.
It’s an online program, and I work on it at home during the
evenings.
I do all of the online coursework at the computer, but
the brick and mortar campus of Utah State UniversityMoab is my academic home base. At the campus I have
access to university resources, professors, the academic
community, and local scholarship opportunities.
The master’s program has
stretched me with long hours
of study after long hours of
work, but it has been worth
it. I am learning a great deal
and making connections with
professionals and professors in
my field.
During the weekends I climb at Indian Creek, ski
in the La Sals, hike the Moab Rim Trail, or float the Daily.
My family and I enjoy the small-town community, the
outdoors, and the energy in town on a busy spring day.
USU-Moab has the right mix of academics, careernetworking connections, and access to all-season outdoor
sports. There aren’t many places you can live and work in
a small town, earn an accredited master’s degree, and have
access to all of the outdoor sports available here in Moab.
USU Contact: Dana Romney, [email protected],
435.722.1788
The master of
natural
resources
program allows me
to tailor my degree
to fit my educational
and career needs.
I’ve studied law,
policy, geographic
information systems,
economics, criminal justice, ecology, the Wilderness Act,
and resource monitoring methods.
My master’s degree capstone project is analyzing the
management situation on the Green and Colorado Rivers
within Canyonlands National Park. For this project, I’ve
collected data on river use within the park, interviewed
experts in the field, and studied the applicable academic
literature. The end product is an analysis of current
conditions on the rivers and potential alternatives for how
to manage river use in the future.

The debate over the labeling of GMO (genetically
modified organism) foods has been raging across the
country. Both California and Washington introduced bills,
which were narrowly defeated, that would have required
the labeling of GMO foods in those states. These
bills were fiercely opposed by many of America’s
largest agriculture and chemical companies, headed
by Monstanto. In California alone $46 million was spent
to oppose Prop 37. Despite these defeats many other states,
and the federal government, are looking into labeling
GMOs.
It may seem like common sense that people should
have the right to know what is in the food that they are
eating (and at we at Moonflower believe that it is).
Especially when over 60 countries, including India and
China, already require labeling such products. But as the
votes in California and Washington showed, for many
peoples its not that simple. Like any debate there are two
sides to this issue.
So, here are some of the facts and arguments from
both sides. Read them and make up your own mind.
What are GMOs?
Humans have been genetically modifying their crops
since agriculture began thousands of years ago. But the
selective breeding for desired traits that our ancestors
engaged in is not what we mean when we say GMO today.
The definition of GMOs that is used today is “any
living organism that possesses a novel combination of
genetic material obtained through the use of modern
biotechnology.” In other words it is when scientists mutate,
insert, or delete genes in an organism. The genes they insert
usually come from a different species, and can be inserted
into the selected organism using a number of techniques
including viruses, very small needles, electroporation, or
a gene gun.
Such modification is a very new thing. The first GMOs
were bacteria that were modified in 1973. And genetically
modified food has only been available in stores since 1994.
Since then the technology has exploded; now GMO crops
are grown on 420 million acres around the world by 17.3
million farmers.
So how did such a new technology become so
ubiquitous so quickly?
The rise of GMOs:
Try out our second location
160 E. 100 S.
The answer is quite straightforward; GMOs, and the
industrial farming techniques that often go with them,
produce hardier crops that grow faster, and produce more
with less resources than Organic and traditional farming.
This means more money for the farmers and more, cheaper
food for their customers.
In the words of Robert T. Fraley, the 2013 World Food
Prize winner and Monsanto’s executive vice president and
chief technology officer, this has led GMOs to become the
“fastest –adopted technology in the history of agriculture.”
blown by the wind or carried by animals. This can cause
the spread of GMOs to farms that don’t want them and
bring them into ecosystems that they can damage.
Because of all these things many believe that GMOs
need to be labeled so that consumers know what’s in their
food.
But Do We Really Need To?
But there is no science to back up the claim that GMOs
are any less nutritious or less safe than Organic food, say
Monsanto and their cohorts. And they are right. There
has been no conclusive scientific evidence published, in
America, that GMOs pose any special health risk.
Agribusiness believes that if they are forced to label
there GMO products customers will avoid them, not
because of any valid reason, but because they have heard
and believe the unproven claims made by the Organic
movement.
They also argue that labeling products as GMO would
drive up the cost of producing the food and thus increase
the price for the consumer. However, the study that backs
up this claim assumes that food companies would switch
to non-GMO ingredients in all their products to avoid
having to label them GMO, this seems very unlikely. It is
also a questionable claim as food companies often change
their packaging and that cost is usually already built in to
the price.
So What Will Happen Next?
Agribusiness recognizes that the momentum of the
public opinion is building in favor of labeling GMOs.
Because of this they are now pushing for federal regulations
on labeling. The reason for this is that it is far easier for
them to follow one national standard then to follow 50
different state standards.
Whole Foods recently promised that by 2015 all of the
GMO food in its stores will be labeled. Many other stores
have seen the consumer demand for such labeling and will
likely follow suit.
The consumer demand is there for labeling GMO
foods. In the next few years it is very likely that we will
see either some form of government regulation on labeling
GMOs, or many companies voluntarily labeling their
products so that stores will carry them.
The debate is going on now. If you feel strongly about
labeling GMOs, now is the time to get involved.
At Moonflower promoting healthy, local, Organic, and
non-GMO food is central to our mission as Moab's only
food co-op. Wherever possible we choose to carry Organic
and non-GMO products. We have also nearly completed
the process of labeling every non-GMO product in the
store to make it easier for our customers to know exactly
what they are buying.

There are a number of issues that proponents of the
labeling GMOs site in their arguments.
Most of the health-related arguments stem from
two factors. One, that GMOs may have long-term health
consequences that we don’t know about, and second, that
the pesticides used growing GMOs, which have clearly
been shown to be harmful to humans, inevitably end up in
the food.
The environmental argument against GMOs is based
around the amount of energy and fossil fuels that are used in
their production, as well as the potential for contamination.
Critics believe that the American agricultural industry is
hugely inefficient in its use of energy, using an average of
10 kilocalories of energy to produce one calorie of food.
The nutrients, especially nitrates, in fertilizers can
cause problems for natural habitats and for human health
if they are washed off soil into watercourses or leached
through soil into groundwater.
GMOs can also spread, as seeds don’t always stay in
the fields that they are planted in. Pollen and seeds can be

The Sky for March 2014
Ursa Major (Big Dipper) hangs high overhead in
the northern sky at midnight. It separates the starstudded winter sky on the western horizon from
the sparsely populated spring skies overhead and
in the eastern sky. We stargazers look through the
galaxy in different directions as the Earth moves
through its orbit around the Sun. In winter our
nighttime view was directed away from the center

of the Milky Way but still through the densely
populated plane of the galaxy. As spring skies
approach, we look upward through the “top” of
the galaxy—a mere distance of 1000 light years—
with many fewer stars to stud our skies. In a few
months our nighttime view will again look through
the star-rich plane of the Milky Way, but this time
our gaze is directed towards the galaxy center.

DAYLENGTH
Daylight time begins on Sunday, March 9, at 2:00am.
The time change does not provide added daylight hours, but
it does shift the period of daylight towards the end of the
day. March does, however, contribute the greatest monthly
gain—78 minutes—in the amount of daylight we receive in
the northern hemisphere. The rapid gain in daylight results
from the Earth’s changing position and speed in its orbit.
The ecliptic (apparent path of sun across the sky) continues
to rise higher in the sky after the winter solstice (providing
longer days) and the Earth’s speed remains relatively fast
(increasing the amount of daily gain) after the slingshot
effect it receives from swinging around the near end of its
elliptical orbit.
Twilight begins and ends each day in three stages.
Astronomical twilight brightens the eastern horizon about
one and one-half hours before sunrise. During the next 30
minutes, nautical twilight overtakes the sky as it continues
to brighten and brings color to the surrounding landscape.
One half hour before sunrise civil twilight begins with
enough ambient light to perform most outdoor activities.
The reverse progression occurs in the western sky with
sunset. Civil twilight ends as the quality of light declines.
Nautical twilight ends with overhead skies darkened but
with light remaining on the horizon. Finally, one and onehalf hours after sunset light fades from the horizon and
night begins.
VERNAL EQUINOX
At 10:57am MDT on March 20 the sun—from our
perspective—crosses the celestial equator (imagine a line
across the sky that mirrors the earth’s equator). The sun
officially moves from the southern hemisphere into the
northern hemisphere. On this day it rises due east, sets due
west, and remains in the sky for 12 hours. Over the next six
months the northern hemisphere will experience increased
solar gain (due to tilt of the Earth’s axis) until the Autumnal
Equinox—when the sun crosses back into the southern
realms and launches another cycle of cold, wintry weather.

7:46pm.
March 24 – Last Quarter Moon rises several hours after
midnight.
March 30 – New Moon occurs at 12:45pm.
(The time of moonrise and moonset assumes a flat horizon.
Actual time may vary.)
Use the moon to identify major stars and visible
clusters in the night sky. On March 7 look for the Pleiades
cluster of six visible stars 7° above a nearly quarter moon.
Aldebaran (Taurus) lies 9° west of the moon on March 7
and 6° east on March 8. On the nights of March 12 and
13 a waxing full moon passes below the beehive cluster
in Cancer at a distance of 9°. On March 14 find Regulus
7° above and to the east of the moon and 10° above and to
the west on March 15. On March 18 the moon is 8° below
and east of Spica. On March 22 it is 7° above and east of
Antares (Scorpius).
ZODIACAL LIGHT
The zodiacal light continues to catch residual dust
within our solar system in the strong rays of light that shoot
upward as the sun drops below the horizon each evening
before the vernal equinox. Look for a cone of hazy white
light nearly perpendicular to the western horizon. The
best time to see it is at the end of astronomical twilight. It
remains visible for about one hour.
METEOR EVENTS
No major meteor showers occur during March but
fireballs along the line of the ecliptic often blaze across
the sky during the early spring months.
Note: Hold your hand at arm’s length to measure
apparent distances in the sky. The width of the little
finger approximates 1.5 ̊. Middle, ring, and little finger
touching represent about 5 ̊. The width of a fist is about
10 ̊. The fist with the thumb extended at a right angle
equals 15 ̊. The hand stretched from thumb to little
finger approximates 20 ̊-25 ̊. The diameter of both the
full moon and the Sun spans only 0.5 ̊. Adjust for the
size of your hand.

VISIBLE PLANETS
Jupiter F – Find Jupiter overhead in the evening sky
about 10° west of twin stars Castor and Pollux (Gemini).
It outshines everything in this star-rich region of the
Milky Way. Jupiter ends its western retrograde motion
on March 6. Within a few weeks its return to “normal”
eastern motion becomes evident. On March 10 it hangs
above and left of a waxing gibbous moon. (Magnitude
-2.1)
Mars E – Watch Mars pass east to west about 5°
above Spica (Virgo) during the month. On March 19
a waxing full moon appears 5° below Mars and about
6° from Spica. For most of the month Mars rises after
astronomical twilight darkens the evening sky. By
morning twilight, Mars is visible high in the western sky.
By month’s end, its magnitude will have increased by
half. (Magnitude -0.5)
Saturn G – Wait until after midnight to look for
Saturn in the southeastern sky. Its golden orb rises in the
upper left corner of faint Libra—about 25-30° below
Mars. Its only competition in this region of the night
sky will be red-tinged Mars and blue-tinted Spica above.
On March 21 a waning gibbous moon follows 3° below
Saturn. Saturn remains visible overhead in early morning
twilight. (Magnitude +1.0)
Venus D – By the time Venus rises in the southeastern
sky, it may be the only object (moon excepted) brilliant
enough to compete with morning twilight. It moves
from Sagittarius to Capricorn during the first week of
the month, but the stars of these two constellations will
be too faint to be observed. On March 26 a waning
last quarter moon leads Venus into the morning sky by
several degrees. (Magnitude -4.4)
Note: Apparent magnitude values range from -4 to
+6 for most planets and visible stars. The lower the value
the brighter the object. A decrease of 1.0 magnitude is
2.5 times brighter.

Stunts, Stars And
Legends:
Martin Grace
Stuntman, Martin Grace, doubled for Roger Moore
in many of the star’s James Bond films died at age 67 in
2010. He was an accomplished
stunt performer and coordinator.
His doubling for Moore was
in “The Spy Who Loved Me”
(1977) up until his departure
from the series in “A View
To A Kill (1985). Martin was
born in Kilkenny, Ireland,
on 12th of September,
1942. During his time at
college at Kilkenny
City, Grace first
experienced action
movies when a
tented traveling film
show arrived in town.
Bitten by the bug, he
moved to London in
the early 1960s to attend
Mountview Academy of Theater Arts. After he joined
a stunt agency, he found his first professional work in
commercials as the mysterious action man in the Cadbury
milk tray television ads. The secret agent aesthetic and
daring stunts would give him a taste of what 007 would
later offer him.
His first film credit was as a Thai on the BBC’s big
screen adaption of “Dr. Who and the Daleks” in 1965.
Soon afterwards, his first brush with Bond came when stunt
coordinator Bob Simmons and his right-hand man George
Leech called up almost every professional stuntman in
England to perform in the climatic volcano battle in “You
Only Live Twice” (1967).
Simmons had noticed Grace in his Cadbury
commercials. Leech was similarly impressed by Grace,
who spent four weeks honing his ninja skills: scaling nets,
sliding down ropes and practicing trampoline explosions. It
was also on “You Only Live Twice” that Grace met a young
Vic Armstrong, who went on to become stunt coordinator
and action unit director on the later Bond movies.
In the 1970s, Grace performed at a nightly stunt
show tour across Scandinavia. Winning a Charlton Heston
talent contest in 1974 took him to Hollywood for the first
time, where he also attended stunt classes to hone his
skills in driving, parachuting, boxing, wrestling, fencing,
swimming and gymnastics.
One of his first jobs as Moore’s double was to drive
the Lotus Esprit through the windy narrow streets of
Sardinia during the hellicopter and motorcycle chase. But
unlike almost every chase scene in the Bond series, Grace
was told explicitly that the ‘hero’ car had to be returned to
Lotus in the exact same condition it was delivered. Grace
also doubled for Richard Kiel in the long-shots of the
Egyptian ruins when Jaws can be seen walking high above
the crumbling columns. Another high-rise and high-stakes
sequence for Grace was the pre-title sequence of “For
your Eyes Only” when he had to hang on to the side of a
helicopter as ‘Biofeld’ was trying his best to dipose of 007.
Grace also doubled for Bond aloft the Eiffel Tower in Paris
and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in “A View
To A Kill”. Sadly, Grace suffered terrible injuries during
the production of “Octopussy” during the train sequence
shot at the Nene Valley Railway in Peterborough, UK. To
achieve the desired shots, Grace was called on to leap on to
the train from a moving car and then later climb underneath
and down the outer side of the carriages. In a rush to wrap
filming during a break in the weather, communication
broke down between the helicopter shooting the action,
Grace, the 5 of 7 train driver, and the rest of the stunt team
timing the sequence. Not being able to look in the direction
of travel, Grace was unaware of a solid wall built parallel to
the tracks on an unrehearsed section of track. The impact
smashed his pelvis and thigh bones, but the adrenaline
rush allowed him to hang on to the train until it came to
a stop. He was rushed to Peterborough Hospital where he
lay prone for several months, fearing that his career may
be over. The accident affected crew morals. Immediately
upon his return from India, Moore made his first of several
visits to Grace in the hospital. Grace made a full recovery
in time for the next Bond outing.
Grace also doubled for Moore in his non-Bond films,
including “The Wild Geese” (1997), “North Sea Hijack”
(1979), “Escape to Athena” (1979) “Sea Wolves” (1980),
and “The Naked Face” (1984). Over his career, Grace
worked on 73 motion pictures as well as many popular
television programs including “Monk” and “Heroes”. His
last big-screen stunt work was on the 2007 Jim Carrey
vehicle “The Number 23”. After suffering a cycling
accident in late November 2009, Martin fractured his pelvis
and was hospitalized for some weeks. In late January he
was taken from his home in Spain to hospital again after
developing problems. He died at age 67 on the January
27th, 2010, after suffering an aneurysm.
Martin Grace was inducted into Hollywood Stuntmen’s
Hall of Fame and footprinted in cement in 1984, by John
G. Hagner, Founder of the Hall of Fame. Martin also
performed in a special short film directed by Hagner when
the Hall of Fame was located in Cabazon, California, near
Palm Springs. He also donated the pads he wore when he
suffered that terrible accident doubling for Roger Moore.
This special portrait drawing of Martin was done by
Hagner for this issue of Moab Happenings.

ASTROLOGY HAPPENINGS
Your Horoscope for March 2014
We start the month of March on a cautionary footing
with Venus and Mars at loggerheads. Romance is just not
in the cards this week. What it is, is how the Sun and Pluto
show us ways to improve ourselves. These two influences
last the whole week.
On the 10th Mercury and Saturn form a hard angle that
forces all to hold our tongues? Any new ideas may have
to sit this one out. The Sun and Saturn provide for some
rewards and accolades on any ongoing project we may be
involved with on the 13th.
The big ideas from four days earlier will find a
receptive ear on the 14th. Concepts can be presented with
enthusiasm and will be well received. Venus and Uranus
team up on the 18th to create some romantic surprises.
All is quiet during the last week of March. Hopefully,
it’s the ‘...Out like a lamb’ saying. On the 26th and 27th,
Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto ease the way for everyone to
clean up and clear out any old paperwork. Make plans for
business or pleasure and discuss whatever we need to clear
the air during those two days.
The 29th has a mixed aspect between Venus, Mars and
Saturn. It’s similar to finding someone you really could fall
in love with…on the day they leave for college. Happy and
sad at the same time. Oh, well. Life goes on.
Pisces: Happy Birthday! A friend could ask
for a loan this week, just when you don’t
have it. At the same time, you could learn
a valuable lesson in how to say NO over
this incident. On the 10th you could be in
a position that not saying something would be the wiser
thing to do. On the 13th hard work that you have done
pays off in a solid way. A left field romance on the 18th
could light up your life during the third week of March.
But just know, it can end as quickly as it started. Happy
words come your way from a lover or a child on the 26th.
Quietly handle a fleeting disappointment on the 29th. As
the old saying goes, win some, lose some.
Feb. 19 - Mar. 20
Aries: You could feel a little tired as we
start the month off. Not to worry, it’s your
time of the year to relax and recharge. Don’t
let troubles with partners get out of control
during the first week. Also, this is a great time
to break a habit you have, if you would like.
If a friend asks for an opinion on the 10th, it would be wise
to duck it, if possible. You reap the benefits of self-denial
on the 13th. You could make a fool of yourself over a pretty
face on the 18th. The 26th is a good day to sell something
Mar. 21 - Apr. 20

for profit. Big Profit! A venture with partners may not work
out as planned on the 29th. Nothing ventured, nothing
gained, as they say.
Taurus: Don’t let a disagreement on the job
ruin your good mood on the 2nd. Use this
week’s energy chart a course for the coming
year, starting on the 3rd. Keep criticism to
a minimum on the 10th. Tell your spouse
how much you care and appreciate them on 13th, it will
mean a lot. If you’re single sudden romance could find
you on the 18th. A friend may have some good news to
share on the 26th. Sometimes working overtime is just an
inconvenience we live with, but it is hard on those we care
about, especially on the 29th. It’s like being between the
devil and the deep blue sea.
Apr. 21 - May 21
Gemini: A child or a lover is costing you
money during the first week. Stop the
hemorrhage on the 2nd. Take advantage of
ways to improve your career status on the
3rd. Avoid an urge to be verbally cute on the
job on the 10th. You won’t regret it. Career accolades come
your way on the 13th. If you’re single a pop-up romance
could have you spinning on the 18th. You could get a raise
on the 26th. Romance gets a boost and takes a hit on the
29th. One step forward, two steps back.
May 22 - June 21
Cancer: Avoid a disagreement with you
spouse on the 2nd. Talk it out and try to see
things from their point of view on the 3rd. A
child may not take criticism well on the 10th.
A creative project garners good reviews on the
13th. If you’re single a new face in the office
could have your eye and your interest on the 18th. The
26th is a great day to sit for a photographer for a portrait. A
money crunch could stop you short of reaching a goal you
cherish, but not without having something left to show for
the effort. Kind of like a bird in the hand…
June 22 - July 22
Leo: A romantic ouverture in the office
maybe inappropriate on the 2nd. The
damage can be repaired on the 3rd. Delays
can test you on the 10th. A large project
of yours progresses nicely on the 13th. A
sudden partnership proposal could take you
by surprise on the 18th. You could rake in a quiet windfall
on the 26th. Romantic vibes flow but the timing really
stinks on the 29th. You could feel this aspect more than
anyone else this month. It’s truly frustrating.

brings you valuable information on the 26th. That office
romance could end quickly on the 29th when you read the

week. Give cupid a vacation starting the
2nd. An opportunity to improve yourself

Romance enters your house on the 18th and catches you
off guard. You are able to promote an idea on the 26th

on the 13th. Errands could bring you into contact with a

PET HAPPENINGS
Feeding the unusual!
One of the best parts of Moab is the rare and elusive
wildlife we have here in the desert. A whole world of
scaly scampering foot prints with a distinct tail drag mark
give us a peak into an elusive lizard world, but some
of us chose to have these
creatures as part of our
homes too!
There are a lot of things
to know about keeping
exotic animals as pets but
we here at the BARKery
know that nutrition is
everything! We believe
that excellent nutrition can
not only extend the life
of your pet, but prevent
many common problems
that keep your pets from
living to their fullest. In our
research about crickets as
nutrition we discovered that up to 90% of reptiles suffer
from nutritional imbalance at some point in their lives.
And it matters that you feed your pets living food too!
If crickets come from a fishery they are most like raised
as fishing bait, so feeding your insectivore or carnivore
crickets that were made for feeding reptiles makes a big
difference in the overall nutritional health of your pet.
Dusting crickets is a way to supplement vitamins and
minerals but crickets are excellent groomers and
groom off around 50% of the dusting powder in
as little as 90 seconds. What they ingest only
stays in their digestive tract for 4 hours. So if
your reptile doesn’t eat the crickets right away
they get much less supplementation.
In order to understand what may be lacking
in a reptiles diet, you have to start with some
basic food facts first. Reptile is a very wide
description of animals, and there is no diet that
is well suited for all of them. In fact, there are
no commercial diets that work for any reptiles.
Reptiles need fresh food, period. Whether it is
protein for carnivores, insects for insectivores
or greens for herbivores the consensus is
fresh is best. There are big differences with
categories too. Rattlesnakes and Bearded Dragons are
both carnivores, yet rattlesnakes need to be fed weeks
apart where bearded dragons need to be fed multiple
times a week. Bearded dragons also digest some greens
very well and do best with a 5% supplementation,
whereas rattlesnakes do no need to eat greens. They get
the same benefit from the greens in the digestive tract of
the mammals they eat. So each animal needs very specific
care to thrive.
The one thing that all reptiles have in common is
that they need to be kept in a warm environment. Many
people don’t know that ultraviolet (UV) light is required
to properly metabolize all nutrition, but especially
calcium. Coincidentally the most common dietary
deficiency in reptiles is calcium. So by providing a
properly warmed environment with adequate UV light
your exotic buddy can absorb all the nutrients and utilize
the food you feed them.
The most common thing to feed carnivores and
insectivores are crickets. They are easy to keep, care for
and can be nutritious if they are feed the right things.
They are also active prey and can help simulate hunting
behaviors in your scaly friend. They provide a decent
amount of protein, are lower in fat than other feeding
options and come on a wide variety of sizes. When you
compare wild caught insects with properly raised insects
made for reptile food, you will find an abundance of
vitamin A and E, both essential for a long healthy life.
This page sponsored by:
by Jessica Turquette, co-owner of the Moab BARKery
Although they are the most common form of food for
reptiles, they don’t usually offer the complete package as
a protein. They lack calcium, which is very important to
reptiles so a variety of insects is the key to proper nutrition.
Crickets can be a
staple in your reptile’s
diet, but make sure
there are alternatives
available.
Crickets
aren’t everything.
So what else is
necessary for good
reptile
nutrition?
Depending on the
animal
there
are
some fantastic ways
to provide alternative
nutrition
It’s
all
about worms. What
do worms have that
crickets don’t? In general worms have more fat and less
fiber, with soft bodies that are easier to digest. Some
species of worms are higher in vitamin A than any other
type of feeder insect including crickets. It also happens to
be that right behind calcium deficiency; vitamin A is also
a critical nutrient that is missing from many reptile diets.
So by feeding certain types of worms you will making
a big difference in the nutrition your pet gets. There is
available to supplement a diet that is mostly crickets.
There are even species of worms (Hermeia illucens) that
are high in calcium and low in fat, they can be fed to
supplement calcium while still providing fresh live prey.
The only drawback to a diet that consists mostly of worms
is fat! Even reptiles are facing the obesity epidemic that
many of our furry pets are up against. We recommend
using worms as a supplemental part of a reptile diet.
There is no one perfect insect for your reptile, so the
biggest lesson is to provide variety. Make sure that they
are getting the best quality insects possible that are raised
to be fed to your pet and not just for fishing bait. Consider
not just the quality of feed, but the temperature you keep
your reptile so they can properly utilize the nutrition being
fed to them. Most of all make sure to seek out expert
nutritional advice and veterinary care to keep you scaly,
slithering and swimming reptiles happy and healthy.
