Fall is quickly creeping into the town of Durango. Th ere’s no avoiding it now. But don’t despair yet; this colorful season has so many advantages over summer.

I hope I’m not alone in enjoying the crunchy earthy feel of jumping in a giant pile of dead leaves. Or even just trudging through scattered leaves a foot deep. Th ey’re just begging to be stepped on.

Besides the obvious delights of dead leaves, though, we can also look forward to better tem-peratures, Halloween, and the return of hot coff ee. I should probably also mention the indispensable fashion accessory known as the scarf.

Summer is sticky and aimless. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a big fan of summer, but four months of it is enough for me. A bit of organiza-tion and milder temperatures really can help get things back on track.

Also, it’s the beginning of the season for pump-kins. Th ere’re so many possibilities: you can make artworks, pies, roasted seeds, a helmet, a slip n’ slide, or just engage in some good ole’ pumpkin smashing.

Ultimately, the end of summer means we’re that much closer to the glorious winter. Th e thing I’m looking forward to most of all will begin at the end of fall: the 2010-2011 ski season.

So embrace the dead leaves and brisk winds. Th is is a dramatic and fl eeting season in Colorado that will be gone before we know it.

Japan: Land of Circlesby: Gavin Wisdom

Environmental Centerby: Devon Dey

With the new semester underway, Fort Lewis College also has a new Executive Branch. Fort Lewis’ student senators have been burning the midnight oil debating a full table of resolutions, including a possible hike in tuition.

“Our last meeting ran until 2:30, almost 3:00 in the morning,” Alray Nelson, Student Body President, said. “Our basic duty is to uphold the accountability of student fees,” he said.

During the next few weeks the student body will be voting on issues that eff ect students where it matters most—their pocketbooks.

“Th e increases in tuition since I was a fresh-man have been frequent,” Alix Ferguson, a Fort Lewis College senior, said. “I’m defi nitely not stoked about it,” she said.

Last semester, students saw a hefty raise in their in-state tuition and it seems that the stu-dent body may be facing further hikes this year.

“Tuition is being discussed right now by the administration,” Kody Roper, student senator, said. “We do not have a resolution on it yet. We will be focusing on it in the next couple of weeks and what our decision is going to be and how the student body representatives want to act,” he said.

Th e Student Senate also works very hard to ensure that student fees are used to make a positive impact on student’s lives. Roper, who attended last week’s debate into the wee hours, sheds some light on what is currently being dis-cussed.

“We proposed and debated the need for a Gen-der Research Center, intended for all genders,” Roper said. Roper also relayed Vice President Laura Beth Waltz’s explanation of how everyone can benefi t from such a center.

“For instance, when freshmen guys fi rst arrive

“As a student you have a voice. If you are upset about something,

or have a problem with something please come and speak to us.

We are the people who represent you.”

campus

on campus, especially if they are from a diff erent area, maybe they don’t know what the social norms are,” Laura Beth Waltz, Student Body Vice Presi-dent, said.

“It could be a resource center for that—sexual health— and just a safe center for people to go to and inform themselves,” she said.

Th e decisions the Student Senate makes are not always easy. Roper stressed the importance of making one’s self heard.

“As a student you have a voice. If you are upset about something, or have a problem with some-thing please come and speak to us. We are the peo-ple who represent you,” Roper said. “We need the students to step up and let us know if the decisions

being made are in their best interests,” he said.Nelson also stressed that an increasing amount

of students are taking the initiative in becoming involved, something that he feels is an integral part of the college experience.

“If you want to become an advocate for stu-dents, join the AFLSC; become a senator, work your way up and become the president of our student body and advocate for our interests,” Nelson said.

An eff ective way for students to make them-selves heard on these issues is to attend Student Senate meetings, held every Wed. at 7p.m. in the Student Union Building, or they can simply stop by the Student Senate offi ces.

Carolyn Blehm (L) and Alyssa Green (R) showing off some of the

produce from the Old Fort Farm Stand.

very Thursday at 2 p.m. since the summer semes-

ter, the Old Fort Farm Stand operates under the Fort

Lewis clock tower, offering student-grown produce,

pork and beef.

The Fort Lewis Farm Stand was started last year

by students and faculty, so that they could sell the

produce grown at the Old Fort in Hesperus to the

larger Fort Lewis community, President of the West-

erners Club Alyssa Green said.

The program has quickly expanded its clientele

and sales locations to include local restaurants, a

Friday night market at Wildcat Liquor, and the Bay-

field farmers market, Green said.

Farm tech Carolyn Blehm said that in addition to the new sales locations, some new value-added prod-ucts have been added for this year.

The local restaurant Cocina Linda gives the farmers access to a commercial kitchen, as well as some helpful hints, so that they have been able to add salsa and soups to the Farm Stand menu, Blehm said.

Next year, they hope to expand their meat offerings to include additional cuts of beef to complement the variety of pork cuts they already produce, Blehm said.

“Hopefully something we could do next year would be to sell steaks and stuff like that. Stuff that people might appreciate more than ground beef,” Blehm said.

But with or without steaks, those who have stopped by the Farm Stand seem to be pleased with the prod-ucts, Green said.

”We have a very loyal client base here on campus, especially with the faculty,” Green said.

Blehm believes that people like buying locally grown produce because it’s more flavorful than most store-bought produce.

“In the store, I think they almost harvest them too early. We let them go just a little bit longer and they really have more flavor,” Blehm said.

The Old Fort project allows students to see the pro-cess from start to finish, from putting a seed in the ground, to harvesting, to handing a finished product to a customer, Green said.

“It gives students a great opportunity to learn about local food production, and how to grow your own food,” Green said.

“The students love growing vegetables, and work-ing with them every day, and they take a lot of pride in it,” Beth LaShell, a professor of agriculture at Fort Lewis, said.

One of the newest members of the farm team is senior Joanna Young, who said as part of her exercise science program, she is taking a nutrition class that works directly with the Old Fort farm program, and the process has been an eye-opener. Young said that in California, all the food she is used to is produced by major commercial operations and sold at large chain stores, so it is hard to tell where it is coming from.

One of the goals of the program is to get students involved in local food production, so they can gain a better understanding of where their food comes from, Young said.

“In doing that I’ve actually seen a difference in size and in taste,” Young said. “I’ve just had a tomato from there and it was really, really good.”

Jaquelene Brisson-Stahl, senior, said that she stops by the Farm Stand regularly and likes that she can sup-port the Old Fort by buying fresh meat and vegetables.

“I like the purple potatoes, tomatillos, and ham hocks,” Brisson-Stahl said. “The tomatillos are really nice; if you roast them in your oven you can make green salsa.”

Green said students at the Old Fort are also involved in a number of other projects including studies on dif-ferent types of potatoes and a study on organic weed management techniques.

profi le

After teaching near the Everglades at the Flor-

ida Gulf Coast University for six years, Dr. Rebecca

Austin was ready to trade heat and hurricanes for

her alma mater, Fort Lewis College. This time, her

return to Fort Lewis was as a professor, teaching

courses in both Anthropology and Environmental

Studies. The Independent recently had the oppor-

tunity to learn more about Austin, who considers

herself “an anthropologist fi rst.”

Indy: What led you to choose the fi eld of Anthropology?

Austin: “I chose anthropology because when I was in high school, I went to an experimental high school. It was a public school, but it was experimental in terms of the way they did classes and the kinds of classes we had. I had my fi rst anthropology class then, and a really great teacher who took us on a fi eld trip to the Appalachian Mountains to study the eff ects of coal mining on the cultures in Appalachia. I was really interested, even at that point, in the environment.”

Indy: Why did you choose Fort Lewis for your undergraduate studies?

Austin: “I was looking for a small school in the mountains. I didn’t like the city, or the suburbs. President Th omas talks about how this is a pri-vate school experience at a public school price. I came out here to Colorado for that reason. It was a small college in the mountains, and it wasn’t that expensive, even for out-of-state. And it was one of the few schools that had a separate anthropology department, for a small college.”

Indy: Is there anything you would recom-mend to students, particularly those looking at graduate school, to get involved in?

Austin: “I think internships are really useful no matter what your discipline. Even if you’re not getting credit for it, I would encourage stu-dents to actually try and get paid for some of the work they do. I would encourage them not to assume that they will not get paid! Getting that practical work experience—not necessarily on campus—visiting professors or with people they meet in the community. Most of us that have gone through graduate school, we willingly will share our experiences to try and help other students.”

Indy: What are you passionate about outside of anthropology?

Austin: “Helping people to understand the connection between us and the environment, rather than just focusing on our impact. We’ve been on Earth a long time. We came from the environment. Not all modern humans have damaged their environments, and not all indig-enous cultures lived harmoniously within it.”

Indy: Do you have a favorite book?Austin: “� eir Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora

Neale Hurston. Zora Neale Hurston was an Afri-can American anthropologist and creative writer. She really captures the time period of African Americans in the South. It’s written in dialect, the Black English vernacular of the South at that time. It’s interesting to read. For some reason I like reading the dialect. It really brings it to life and I am just impressed with the person Zora Neale Hurston as well.”

One of this week’s “Athletes of the Week” is the women’s soccer team captain Erika Shisler. Shisler earned her title with a 2-1 overtime game-winning assist against Nebraska-Kearney on Sept. 19, 2010.

Shisler graduated from Durango High School with over a decade of playing soccer under her cleats, and her love of the sport and her teammates drive her to return to the field year after year, Shisler said.

Off the field, Shisler enjoys music, fashion, travel, and art, and is majoring in Business Art, yet she always has time for the game she loves most, Shisler said.

The Independent had a chance to ask Shisler a few questions about herself and her experience with Skyhawk women’s soccer.

Indy: How have the teams been doing this year in comparison to last year? What changed? Erika: Every year is very different on a collegiate athletic team. You lose amazing athletes when they graduate but you also gain new talent once the recruits commit. This year our team has so much tal-ent and we all have become very close considering we are always together. That aspect definitely helps with the chemistry on the field. Indy: The soccer team means a lot to this school. What are you planning for this year to be successful and happy with the season? Erika: As long as our team comes out every day and practices hard we have a great chance of being extremely successful this season. With success and hard work in training we will get results when we step out on the pitch for matches. The girls make it enjoy-able to come out day after day and are working hard. We have such a talented and fun group of girls this year.

Th ough the sun has not yet broken the skyline, there is a jogger whose heavy feet alert me to her presence. I lie still, pretending to be asleep until she passes. Th e Japanese don’t mind the homeless, and won’t mind me either—but I do mind the gawking when I awaken in daylight with passersby pointing and giggling. Th ere aren’t a lot of white guys in north-ern Japan, especially the sort that sleep in parks.

Sapporo is the fi fth largest city in Japan, located in Hokkaido, the country’s northern-most island. Last night, after a few of the city’s namesake lagers, I was talking with a tour-ist from Turkey who said the city was also the capital of the Yakuza, the Japanese mob.

I roll out of my bag and crumple it into its sack. I look across the park to the river, calm and steady. Th e buildings stand straight-backed, shoulder to shoulder with their windows empty. A car scuttles out of an alley, across an intersection and into another alley, like a mouse, darting in and out of its hole. I hear a tram rattle in the distance.

It has been four weeks and two days since my plane landed in Tokyo. So far, I’ve hitch-hiked about 2,500 kilometers, riding shotgun in small Isuzu semis and little box-like cubi-cles. What began as an adventure has sadly become routine: I get in the vehicle, fumble with maps and my Japanese dictionary, and hope that the driver understands where I want to go. After

I’ve said everything I know how to say, I listen, and pretend to understand. I pull pho-tographs of my family out from my pack and show the driver a slice of suburban America. Th ey’ve seen this before, subtitled on their television screens.

After we’ve covered the basics—where I’m from, something about the weather, favorite Japanese baseball teams—the air grows thin with silence. I look out at the passing hill-side and imagine desolation. Except desolation in Japan is diff erent than the desolation we imagine in America. In a country where it’s traditional to build buildings so close a chopstick couldn’t squeeze between them, where it’s rare to fi nd a 100 kilometer stretch of highway that isn’t interrupted by a super-city, and where stacked capsule hotels rent for $40 per night, desolation takes on a new meaning.

I cross the bridge over the river and begin to make my way out of the city. I’ll have to walk a few kilometers to get to a practical place to begin hitching, but I’ve got time. I’m

he dew on my sleeping bag dampens the scent of dirt and mold

meshed into the nylon. My bag displays memories of alleyways and

the pits beneath overpasses like old army tattoos torn across its greasy

shell. It isn’t pretty, but it’s comfortable.

trying to get to Mount Yotei, known as the Fuji of the north. Like Fuji, it’s an active vol-cano, but unlike Fuji, there isn’t a line of tour-ists marching up the trail. Unlike Fuji, there isn’t a post offi ce or a concession stand at its summit. On a clear day, I’ve heard that on the top of Mount Yotei, one can look east to the Pacifi c Ocean and west to the Sea of Japan. Today’s sky is cloudless.

Sometimes I imagine myself trekking across the Japanese countryside like the 17th

century poet Matsuo Basho, who walked from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to the deep north of Honshu, Japan’s main island. I imagine myself rugged and alone in the woods, sur-viving off of bamboo and kernels of rice. I imagine myself thin and meager, yet content. When I bought my ticket to Japan, I fi gured that the cost of airfare and a few hundred yen was the price of enlightenment. Now I realize that all of these were just the foolish musings of an American college boy.

I arrive at Mount Yotei in the late after-noon. From the base, I can see halfway up the volcano’s earthy cone before it is shrouded in cloud. It has already begun to rain.

I climb halfway up the muddied basalt before darkness comes and I’m forced to make camp. I fi nd sanctuary in a nook shel-tered by small pines and bamboo grass just a few feet off the trail. I fi nger the surrounding tinder and search for old, dead branches that haven’t been touched by the day’s rain, but I have no luck. I string up my tarp, corner by corner, and once again roll out my sleeping bag, this time on a mattress of tattered leaf and spongy soil. On the menu for tonight, a potato and onion—raw, like sushi—with a dressing of miso paste.

I eat my dinner while the lights of Niseko fl icker in and out of the pockets of a cloud four thousand feet below. Th e intervals of light fade in and out as I count their breath: six seconds, to fourteen, to twelve, and when the illumination below is fi nally smothered by the fog, a smooth drone of rain begins to murmur upon my tarp. Th e rhythm that patters on the leaves and the stones is much more soothing than the shutting of car doors at road-side service stations or the clomping of joggers’ feet in urban parks.

In the day, I sang to fi ll the airy gap that was abandoned by another human voice, but I could sing the same songs only so many times before even my own voice washed out with the streams into the Oriental valleys. Th e rain had been inconsistent all day, but was enough to form the thick mud that had evened the tread of my boots and snuck into my pack.

Th e rain begins to soak through my bag’s

nylon lining. Sleep comes restless and dis-turbed—consciousness fades in and out, and I can only remember tiny snippets of dreams, like the way I can vaguely remember the pat-tern on the wings of a butterfl y landing on a rice stalk before fl oating away.

I awake in the morning cold and wet, with a reservoir of water pooled at the cen-ter of my tarp. Th e rain has stopped, but the fog still looms about me like a bad memory. I crumple my sleeping bag into my backpack and eat a rice cake. I smoke a cigarette. I drink cold tea. I tie my boots to my pruned, peeling feet, carefully knotting one, then the other. I enjoy the feeling of the soggy laces thread-ing through my hands, the mud leftover on my palms, and the way I can fi nger paint my pants with mud. I see the refl ection of branches and patterns of light dash across a puddle as I fold up my tarp.

Th e enormous silence of the volcano is crippled by my footsteps—one, two, one, two, left, right, crunch, crunch. My body has become a steady metronome, counting out the beats, bars and measures it takes until I reach the summit. Th ese lines of music would be empty if they weren’t cut by an intermit-tent slip in the mud, crescendoed by a quar-ter-note grunt. Branches reach from shrubs and pluck at my knees. One, two, left, crunch, left, crunch, crunch. Th e vegetation begins to thin and I recall a geology lecture as I stumble over boulders of andecite and dacite snagging at my feet. I pause to rest on a small outcrop-ping of rock and swallow a mouthful of green tea and eat another rice cake. My sweat evap-orates into the fog and I can feel the blisters swell on my heels.

I haven’t called home in weeks and nobody in the world knows where I am except for the few Japanese farmers who stopped to pick me up and aid me in escaping the city limits. Don’t worry, Mom, the Japanese are taking good care of your son. I try to tell her this without the help of a telephone. Th e fog is still thick and I wonder if it aff ects the reception of my message.

I think of my little brother, lost in a video game, battling dragons and monsters and demons. I think of my father, playing Chess or going for a ride on his bicycle. I think of my friends, rafting down a river or climbing a mountain of their own back home in Colo-rado. I think about how when I fi nally reach the crater, I will turn around, and walk the same path from which I came. By the time I make it back to Tokyo, I’ll have created my own loop around Japan, imitating the circu-lar black-inked brush stroke, the symbol that has come to represent Zen philosophy. I con-template coming from a land of crosses into

a world of circles. Crosses and circles, I think. Xs and Os.

Eastern philosophy talks about a concept called Samsara, the cyclical movement from life, to death, to rebirth, and all the suff ering in between. Th at’s my understanding, anyway. For me, life is like the trail. Everyone who hikes chooses how they step, which leg to push forth fi rst, which branches to shove to the side and which ones to leap. We all walk it in dif-ferent shoes, in diff erent clothes, some of us take faster strides, others take slower. Some carry a lot of weight—pots, pans and twelve pairs of backup socks, and others carry noth-ing but the breath in their lungs. Like life, at the end of the trail, we all return to the place from which we came.

Th e closer I get to the crater, the stronger the wind laps at my face. Th e current slaps at my sweat-soaked button-up, making quick, repetitive snaps like a banner on a fl agpole. Small thatches of fl owers—fl owers that grow nowhere else in the world—pop up in unex-pected nooks, little bells of blue and happy explosions of yellow. When I can fi nally climb no higher, I expect to be above the fog, gazing over the crowns of clouds, the vacuous Sea of Japan, and eastward over the Pacifi c toward home. I drop my pack and take cover behind a barricade of rock. I’m still within the fog, and the world and I are invisible to each other. I unlace my boots and massage my pruned feet. I take my last sip of tea and compress the plas-tic bottle. I write a note on my folded map.

I amble down the mountain and realize that I am now on my way home. In a few days, there will be no more squid-jerky, no more roadside shrines, no more gawking at temples, and no more children gawking at me. Only a few more days of my thumb drying out on the side of a road, and a few more nights of sleep-ing under concrete bridges, dreaming in the grass of still city parks, and nodding off while wedged into meter-wide alleys, awaking occa-sionally to slap at a mosquito.

Even though the greenness of summer’s grass, plants, and leaves has left us for the season, it doesn’t mean green should leave our lives com-pletely. As a country we produce 195 million tons of garbage and waste a year. From not finishing our food to throwing out our electronics, we waste more than any other country in the world. If each and every one of us took small steps to keep the green in our lives, we could reduce our waste.

Beginning with your morning cup of coffee you can start making a difference. Americans are expected to use 23 billion paper cups of coffee this year. Starting your morning right with a cup of cof-fee in a refillable mug will not only keep you going, but the environment can keep going too.

More green can also be kept in our pockets by reducing energy in our households. Electronics such as TVs, printers, and cell phone chargers all use electricity when they aren’t even on but still plugged in. A simple fix that could also save you $200 a year on your electric bill is to connect everything that has a glowing light to a power strip cord and unplug it when it’s not in use.

The fall colors of orange, yellow, and red make it easy to forget about the green in our beautiful envi-ronment; however, if we all take action in simple small ways, we as a college, country, and world can help put an end to our growing environmental cri-sis. These are just a few ways to reduce our footprint on the planet. Challenge yourself and the people around to explore more ways to green up your life.

You’ll fi nd yourself gifted with extra vigilance, Capricorn. Now’s the time for you to come to the aid of others. Just remember: there’s a fi ne line between hero and watchdog.

Although you have a tendency to rationalize your sundries, be cautious about your reasoning. What you may justify as reasonable can just as easily come across as stingy.

You’re going to have to do some tip-toeing around some big egos. Don’t depend on confronting problems head-on if you can placate others into doing the work for you.

Try to avoid the hot-headed drama of others right now. Mind the gap and divorce yourself from excess stress.

You’re going to feel the urge to take short-cuts with quick, deci-sive actions, Aquarius. Rely on the marathon thinking that you excel at. Slow and steady wins the race.

Don’t bother busying yourself with housekeeping; your great-est ambitions are nigh achievable! Time spent on the menial and meaningless is energy wasted.
