Hello and welcome to a special bonus episode of YXE Underground. I'm Eric Anderson, and if you are listener of the podcast, you probably know I am a big fan of the Meewasin Valley Authority.The organization does an incredible job of protecting and enhancing our beautiful river valley, and its conversation efforts are always worth celebrating.Meewasin also puts on really great events, and in this episode, we are highlighting one that takes place at Beaver Creek Conservation Area.Dark Skies at Beaver Creek gives people the chance to explore the wonders of the night sky along with learning how to photograph constellations, galaxies and if you're lucky, like I was in this episode, the Northern Lights.These Dark Skies events sell out quickly. I know this because I've been trying for a few years to get a ticket. It finally happened in late August on a beautiful and clear Friday night. I wanted to do a bonus episode to share with you the joy and wonder of a Dark Skies event, and I hope that comes through in what you are about to hear.  The next Dark Skies event at Beaver Creek will take place on Saturday, November 1st, starting at 7:30pm. A big thank you to the Meewasin team, especially the great Sam Cowan, for making this episode possible. I also want to thank Tim Yaworski, also known as the Living Sky Guy, for sharing his knowledge of the sky and photography with all of us at the event. Be sure to check out Tim's YouTube page to learn more about the stars and how to capture them on your camera. Enjoy the Night Sky, Saskatoon!  Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.comRecorded: On Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Metis

Eighty percent of the world's population can't see the Milky Way. Light pollution interferes. Author and adventurer Craig Childs, of Norwood, Colorado, writes about a trek from light to dark in his new book. "The Wild Dark" takes readers from the incandescence of Las Vegas to the spangled skies of rural Nevada. Childs spoke with Sr. Host Ryan Warner at the Mountain Words Festival in Crested Butte in May.

Send us a textWant to know how a small city can protect its red rock vistas and still welcome new families? We sit down with a 31-year-old Ivins candidate who makes a clear, practical case for balancing heritage, housing, and modern city management—without turning the place into another resort corridor. He shares how growing up in Ivins, interning at the Utah Capitol, and working on statewide campaigns shaped a leadership style that blends clear principles with real listening, especially to younger residents who rarely see themselves on the council.We dig into attainable housing mandates from the state and what a thoughtful, design-first response looks like: mixed housing near parks and paths, duplexes and quads that match neighborhood character, and targeted density along Highway 91 where infrastructure can support it. On the revenue side, we get into property taxes, constrained city funding models, and why smarter tools—like a narrowly scoped sales tax for public safety and even autonomous mowers to free staff for higher-impact work—can stretch dollars without sacrificing service. Throughout, he argues for a walkable fabric of small businesses—clinics, family restaurants, kid-friendly activities—that keep life local and sales tax steady.Environmental protection is non-negotiable: water planning with the conservancy district, protecting Night Sky and Snow Canyon viewsheds, and accelerating land trusts through the Open Spaces Committee to preserve working farms and the rural feel. He also calls for a digital-first civic process: opt-in alerts for zone changes, short resident surveys, and regular plan updates so the data guiding decisions stays current. It's a candid, hopeful blueprint for a city that holds on to what it loves while making room for who's next.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

Warren Base in Cheyenne will be the first to modernize its nuclear missiles under the Sentinel program. It means the Air Force will ask landowners for easements. Those stories and more.

The Artful Painter returns! It's good to be back in the saddle again. My friend, Chris Kolupski kindly and patiently agreed to help me dust off my recording equipment and bring the Artful Painter back to life. Chris was originally featured back in episode 56 published back in 2021. That was a couple of years before we loaded up the wagons and moved to the Western Slope of Colorado. In this edition of the Artful Painter, Chris Kolupski talks about his unique artist education experience he calls: “Paint Out West.” To me, Chris Kolupski is The Indiana Jones of Outdoor Painting – and for good reason! He's not only an excellent landscape painter and educator, he is an adventurer who loves painting the American South West. Of course, any adventure can certainly come with its own perils. Chris calmly takes these mis-adventures in stride. In this episode he shares the following experiences: He crashed his car into a cow in the middle of the night in New Mexico! Chris made daring attempts to rescue a camera that fell over a cliff! He escaped prosecution after getting caught inadvertently trespassing while teaching a class. In the middle of Navaho land, Chris founds himself on a horse that doesn't want him on his back And then there's that time he got told off by a rude photographer in Arches National Park! Tune in for a blend of humor, inspiration, and practical advice. I'd like to welcome you to this edition of The Artful Painter!
