SOAP BOX “Art, Sedition and Justice,” April 28 A&E

Bryan Young’s recent Big Shiny Robot column started out in the right place, but I was disappointed to see it descend into blatant cancel culture with his extended ranting against Harry Potter franchise author J.K. Rowling. I haven’t really followed the whole issue with Rowling very closely, but my understanding is that she basically just expressed an opinion. To think that she doesn’t have a right to express that opinion implies that everybody has to be in lockstep with the “woke” authorities, whoever they are. Progressives have a messaging problem, and this is a perfect example of it. Defund the police? How about reform the police? Black lives matter? How about Black lives matter, too? As for “woke,” it has unfortunately become the biggest laugh line in conservative discourse, which is unfortunate because discrimination is such an important and widely misunderstood issue. As for cancel culture, this is a problem that both progressives and conservatives share, and it’s counterproductive in that it chases away potential allies. What is gained by making an enemy out of J.K. Rowling? How does that help the cause of LGBT people? DAVID HARRIS

PRIVATE EY

‘D’ Is for Donkey I

just ended 50 days of private conversations with the Higher Being during Greek Orthodox Lent, during which time I sought forgiveness for a lifetime of sins. I also asked to have the strength to forgive others for their perceived—actually, real—sins against me. Needless to say, 50 days wasn’t quite enough time, especially considering I’d barely been inside a church for about a decade, barring weddings, baptisms and funerals. The world’s nearly 250 million Eastern Orthodox, among them we Greek Orthodox, celebrated Easter this year on Sunday, April 24. The evening prior found me safely ensconced in the church kitchen, making about 300 servings of the traditional, fast-breaking Easter soup called magiritsa—made with a wide array of animal innards, most of which are no longer sold at the local grocer. It’s very rich and tasty—you should try it sometime. Thus, I missed the service, though I’m told it went well and that the many faithful parishioners in attendance were renewed in spirit, well-being and hunger. When church ended at about 1:30 on Easter morning, they all came in for soup and lamb. By then, I was nowhere to be found due to a disturbance in the force. Earlier that night, while I was mixing leeks and romaine lettuce with lamb liver, heart, kidney and spleen, Utah’s Democrats gathered at their annual party convention down south at Cottonwood High School. There was a time when, if you wanted to meet a Democrat, you just followed your nose to the nearest ethnic neighborhood party. It’s safe to say that when I was young, over 90% of the Greeks I knew—and the Italians, Serbs, Croats, Mexicans, Japanese, etc.—were straight line, down-the-ballot Democrats. Today, not so much. Those ethnicities—many of the blue-collar miners and

@johnsaltas

laborers I grew up with—have blended into polite society, left their traditional churches and forgotten who begat them. Too many no longer seek the unity of workers’ unions or have need for protesting dangerous working conditions. They remain thankful for Democratic cornerstones such as Social Security, Medicare, gay marriage, civil-rights legislation, reproductive rights, hate-crime laws and school lunch—but are no longer willing to fight for them. I’ve written before how my immigrant Cretan grandfather—an eyewitness to the formation of Utah’s labor unions in the early 1900s—frequently admonished me to “vote for the Democrats, sonny. Republicans don’t help the poor people, they don’t help the working man.” He would know. When his young friends were killed in the coal mines of central Utah or Colorado, the mine owners were concerned first for the mules they’d have to pay to replace, not the cheap ethnic laborers who could be replaced for free. It’s a much longer story to tell how the umbilical cords of Utah’s ethnic, working-class communities became frayed, leading many of those citizens to abandon Democratic principles. That’s understandable. Times change, people change, needs change and the price of gas goes up. Today, only about 15% of Utahns identify as being Democrat. I’m one of those. I’m no particular fan of public flogging, especially flogging of me. However, on occasion, I’ve taken up the ink to flog myself for various sins against humanity, including that of voting for Republican candidates. I didn’t want to bother God with that one during Lent—there are too many people thanking him for really important matters like hitting home runs and catching footballs—so I didn’t ask forgiveness for such a trivial matter as casting errant votes. However, on the grave of my grandfather, I feel like a traitor, and I pray he forgives me above all else. I may still vote for a Republican candidate here or

there. But may I also, every time I do so, have a dollop of Red Iguana hot sauce and the juice of two margarita limes drizzled into my eyes to remind me to keep such stray votes to a minimum. How minimum? Well, unless things change ultradramatically, I’m not even going to vote for a former Republican. That same night while I was stirring gallons of rebirth Easter soup, Utah’s even-cleaner Democrats were at the aforementioned party convention ruing that since Sen. Mike Lee is on a trajectory to win an election he promised not to run for (yes, he’s a liar), they were going to throw the weight of the party behind independent candidate Evan McMullin and not even put a Democrat on the ballot. The pump-primer for Democrats vacating the party for McMullin is that “he’s not Mike Lee.” Well, neither am I. Vote for me! I’m writing in Kael Weston, who should have been the nominee. He might have got his ass kicked, and I despise every bit of Mike Lee as much as anyone, including the members of his own party who can’t stand him partly because, as one Republican told me, he is, “a whiny little attention-seeking weasel.” Do you wonder why he thinks Donald Trump is Captain Moroni? I voted for McMullin in 2016. I’m over it. It seems to me that he should be courting Democrats, not the other way around. I’ve yet to hear him make a single pledge to Democrats on any issue, yet his entire hope chest of beating Lee depends on Democrats supporting him. What’s the give and what’s the take, Evan? What do Democrats get outside of not having Mike Lee to kick around? The old joke up in Bingham Canyon was that the Republicans up there could hold their caucus in a phone booth and have room to spare. Utah’s Democrats are in today’s “meta” phone booth. Democrats must continue to pin the tail—their hopes—on the donkey, not on the ass of the dream-crushing elephant. CW Send comments to john@cityweekly.net

HITS&MISSES BY KATHARINE BIELE @kathybiele

MISS: Lumps of Coal

Maybe our Republican overlords missed it, but Russia is using oil and gas as a weapon in its war to take Ukraine. Nations around the world are struggling to move quickly into the alternative energy market, but it will take time. Economics aside, fossil fuels are the No. 1 culprit in climate change, which is shrinking the Great Salt Lake, polluting the air and risking the health and welfare of every citizen. And now, The Salt Lake Tribune points out the dismal truth of Utah’s dependence on coal and its role in the state’s unrelenting drought. Sixty-one percent of the state’s energy generation comes from coal, and natural gas makes up 24%— all this while Rocky Mountain Power is flooding its two coal plants with 26 million gallons of water a day (9.4 billion gallons a year). That’s not nothing. But our politicians love coal so much that it doesn’t matter. Let this sink it: the lives of their constituents do not matter.

Keeping SLC weird since 2014

There was an interesting story in The New Yorker about the Michigan state Senate race, where candidates are trolling the voters with more of the mean-spirited and paranoid tripe that proliferated after 2016. It’s all about staying in—or getting into—office. In Michigan, the narrative focuses on children and how “the left” is trying to sexualize them or blame them for the country’s troubled past. Here in Utah, we have only to look at candidates like Trevor Lee, the Davis County state House candidate who won the GOP convention over incumbent Rep. Steve Handy, R-Layton, by calling the governor a “RINO” and maybe transgender at that, a Salt Lake Tribune report says. Then there’s Sen. Mike Lee, who along with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, wants to make an issue of service members being drummed out for not vaccinating— even though it’s less than 1% of the total workforce. Vaccine and transgender delusions are the latest election fodder.

The June 28 primary election is coming up, and this time, everyone’s watching. Many Democrats aren’t Democrats anymore, and Republicans of all stripes have a stake in who wins. So it was good news that the Utah Debate Commission has already scheduled five debates in anticipation. Sen. Mike Lee will use his constitutional oratory to stomp on Becky Edwards and Ally Isom, and it should be something to watch. The John Curtis and Chris Herrod debate will be just as critical, and the Chris Stewart and Erin Rider race … well, because of partisan gerrymandering—meh. For sure, all eyes will be on Lee, who has been revered and reviled over his hundreds of text messages about overturning the 2020 election. The Washington Post worried out loud about the “kid glove” treatment of Lee. Will the media ask him the tough questions? You can watch debates from 2020 on the commission’s website for a hint of what’s to come.

CITIZEN REV LT IN A WEEK, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

Affordable Housing

Do you know what “adaptive reuse” means? It’s an important concept in the post-pandemic world where we face a troubling shortage of housing. “The pandemic economy has created an unprecedented opportunity to address historic housing supply shortages through adaptive reuse of existing structures into affordable housing,” say organizers of Adaptive Reuse in Post-Pandemic Development. Commercial, retail, hotel and office space could be converted to new housing, but much depends on government policies and a willingness to move forward. “Panelists will discuss the roles of local government, developers, financial institutions and others to facilitate these conversions, including building codes and zoning requirements, partnerships, creative financing solutions and the politics of making it all come together.” Virtual, Thursday, May 5, 11:30 a.m., free. https://bit.ly/3vTN3wy

Where There’s Smoke

Forty-one percent of home fire deaths occur in properties without smoke alarms, and the risk of dying is 55% lower if you have an alarm. The Red Cross knows this and aims to install free smoke alarms in homes without them during Sound the Alarm. This national event plans to install 50,000 free smoke alarms in 50 at-risk communities. You will be trained on how to install and maintain the alarms at the West Jordan event and others. While some 75% of homes with reported fires had smoke alarms, the rest were mainly in at-risk communities where death by fire was likely. At the Rose Park event, volunteers are needed to place door-hangers and get sign-ups before a May 21 event.

Touching the Hand of God

A&E

SEE GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT/BRIDGEMAN IMAGES

Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel lets you get up close and personal with a legendary work of art. BY SCOTT RENSHAW scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

t can often be true that an artistic experience is also a spiritual experience. It’s not every exhibit, however, that lets you touch the hand of God. On April 29, See Global Entertainment’s traveling exhibition Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel opened at The Gateway. The walk-through experience features life-size reproductions of the 34 frescos painted on the ceiling and wall of The Vatican’s Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo Buanarroti from 1508-1512 and 1536-1541. A 20-minute introductory video also provides historical context regarding Michelangelo’s creative process, and amusing anecdotes involving Michelangelo’s patron, Pope Julius II. According to Kevin Olson, a spokesperson for See Global, the exhibition was born when the company’s CEO, Martin Biallas, took a trip to The Vatican and the Sistine Chapel a decade ago, and found the experience disappointing. “You have to wait in line for a couple of hours,” Olson says, “and then you are ushered in in an organized tour group for about 15 minutes, and you can’t take any photos. He felt it was very impersonal.” In response, Biallas began the process of finding out if he could secure the rights to a tour that would bring visitors into a more up-close-and-personal experience with the works, though it required a bit of a detour. “We ended up going through Bridgeman Images, because The Vatican, that process was taking forever,” says Sylvia Noland, business development director for See Global. “Bridgeman said, ‘We have the images from The Vatican.’ So we do our licensing with them for the use of these.” What began as a single touring show seven years ago has since grown to 10 separate full shows that are on tour at any given time, five in the United States and five internationally. Each exhibition space requires at least 10,000 square feet, but due to the unique dimensions of any in-

dividual exhibition space, the visitor experience can be quite different from city to city. According to Noland, the available space at The Gateway provides a particularly compelling way for visitors to encounter the work. “Every turn, you see something new. Here you see the prophets, then you turn and see the ancestors of Christ, then another turn, and you see the Genesis [section], then you turn and see ‘The Last Judgment.’” The experience of walking through the exhibit provides an incredible opportunity to learn about this celebrated work beyond the best-known image of God creating Adam through barely separated fingers. An audio component allows for detailed historical perspectives on each piece, including the possible reasons for their positions within the whole ceiling, like the prophet Zechariah being immediately above the Chapel’s entrance as possibly related to his vision about Jesus’ Palm Sunday entrance into Jerusalem. And there are wonderful details that bring the works to life in a more personal way. “In ‘The Last Judgment,’” Olson notes, “Michelangelo actually portrayed and painted himself as one of the many characters in the last judgment. He did not believe he was worthy of ascending into heaven, so he paints himself in a position looking up and hoping for mercy, so he can get redemption.” Still, it’s not surprising if the main draw of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel is “The Creation of Adam,” that iconic image of a soaring, enrobed God reaching down towards the reclining first man. It’s such a draw, in fact, that it necessitates a specific change in the way the images are presented. While most of the frescos line the walls of the

“The Creation of Adam” as part of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition

exhibition, those from the Genesis cycle are generally suspended from the ceiling, allowing an approximation of the visitor experience to the Sistine Chapel. “The Creation of Adam,” however, is an exception, placed at foot level. And the reason, Noland says, is to really emphasize that up-close-and-personal experience Biallas was looking for. “Because everybody wants to touch God’s finger in a picture, you can’t do that on the ceiling,” Noland says with a laugh, “so we have to keep it down.” That kind of opportunity—different from being in the presence of the original in such a time-condensed fashion—is what the exhibit was designed to facilitate. “It’s fascinating when you go and see these [images at the exhibition], because they look like a postage stamp when you look up at The Vatican,” Noland says. “They seem so tiny. This way, you get to see … the cracks in the plaster. You can see every brushstroke.” CW

As a comedic form, improv is both difficult and muchparodied—a challenging art to master, and one often undertaken by amateurs. Creating comedy on the spot isn’t something everyone can do, which made the popular early-2000s American TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway?—an adaptation of the British series of the same name—a delight for audiences as they watched experts at work. That success resulted in a spinoff touring live version of the show, Whose Live Anyway?, featuring regular members of the show’s various incarnations. For the current tour, that includes comedians Ryan Stiles and Jeff Proops, whose tenure on Whose Line dates back to the British series more than 25 years ago. They’re currently joined by comedian Jeff B. Davis and actor-comedian Joel Murray (brother of Bill) in a 90-minute program that follows a similar format to the TV series, with the cast members participating in a series of “games” based on suggestions provided by the

Pygmalion Productions’ staging of Annie Baker’s 2008 play Body Awareness is one of many local shows that was originally planned for presentation in 2020, only to be postponed by the COVID pandemic. But according to cast member Brenda Hattingh Peatross, it might actually be a more relevant show after all we’ve been through. “This play is about people dealing with some very personal situations and kind of getting a grip on things, when suddenly a wrench is thrown in the works,” Hattingh Peatross says in a press release. “I think that was pre-pandemic for many of us. … Everything we thought we knew about ourselves and our relationships was wrong in so many ways. It forced us to look at those things in a way we may not have done before.” Body Awareness applies that notion to a premise set in a Vermont college, where Body Awareness Week is underway. The event’s organizer (played by Hattingh Peatross) and her family—including partner, Joyce (Teresa Sanderson, pictured), and Joyce’s son Jared (Tom Roche), who might be on the autism spectrum—are hosting a guest artist, Frank (Tom Cowan) known for photography of female nudes. Thus begins a complex

audience, resulting in humorously-distributed points for the players. The audience-participation component for the live shows might even include being brought up on stage to be part of the fun. After all, what is improvisation if not being prepared for the unexpected? Whose Live Anyway? comes to the Delta Performance Hall of the Eccles Theater (131 S. Main St.) on Thursday, May 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 - $60; based on current guidelines, Live at the Eccles no longer requires proof of vaccination or masking by patrons inside the venue.

UTAH OPERA

In 2016, Arizona-based author Holly Welker released Baring Witness, a collection of interviews and comments by women members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about their experiences with love, sex and marriage. It seems only fitting, then, that the fellas would eventually get to tell their side of the story, which is exactly what Welker has done with her latest book, Revising Eternity: 27 Latter-day Saint Men Reflect on Modern Relationships. As she did in Baring Witness, Welker serves primarily as editor, allowing her interview subjects to relate their own experiences in a series of essays centered around how male members of the Church approach romantic relationships and marriage, given the institution of marriage’s centrality in Church doctrine. Their experiences cover a wide range of topics pertaining to relationships, including struggling with the Church’s position on same-sex relationships, being unfaithful in marriage, facing crises of faith and much more. The honest and conversational contributions challenge the notion that marriage within the LDS church is a hegemonic experience, and how hard it is to be the kind of man—and husband—that is expected within the Church. Welker visits The King’s English Bookshop (1511 S. 1500 East) for an in-

Let’s face it: There are a lot of creative works that are best known by the general public for a part, rather than for a whole. Entire generations know “to be or not to be” without ever having seen Hamlet, or the “Ode to Joy” without experiencing the rest of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. That idea likely applies as well to Gilbert & Sullivan’s 1879 comic opera The Pirates of Penzance, which includes among its musical solos “I am the very model of a modern Major-General,” a rapidfire lyrical tongue-twister which has been referenced and parodied for 100 years. But if that’s all you know of Penzance, you’ve got some fun in store. The show offers a delightful mix of comedy, romance and adventure in its story of a young man named Frederic who has spent most of his life apprenticed to a band of pirates. During his first trip out into the world, he meets a lovely young woman named Mabel, and hopes he might find a normal life for himself, only to discover that his “contract” with the pirates might run considerably longer than he expected.

Short Circuit By Cathy McKitrick

The following story was supported by funding from The Economic Hardship Reporting Project and was reported by The Utah Investigative Journalism Project in partnership with City Weekly, The Spectrum & Daily News, Daily Herald, Standard Examiner, The Park Record and Living and Aging With Pride.

Under Circuit Breaker, Utah senior homeowners with annual household incomes less than $35,807 (in 2021) can receive a property tax credit on their state income tax return. The sliding-scale program allows a credit of $1,110 for households making $12,173 or less, and that amount shrinks to $179 when household income rises to between $32,226 and $35,807. Those income caps adjust annually to keep pace with the rate of inflation. Utah’s 29 counties are individually tasked with administering the Circuit Breaker homeowners credit, because they routinely assess property values and send out valuation notices each year. But the Utah State Tax Commission oversees a renters’ tax credit that’s also part of Circuit Breaker. The same income caps apply, along with a similar sliding scale where those at the bottom can receive more than $1,000 back if they file an annual income tax return. According to informational materials released by the tax commission, unmarried surviving spouses of seniors who would have qualified for the credits can also qualify, regardless of age.

income homeowners and renters in Utah who are 66 years of age and older. Recently, critics have noted that this program could be helping many, but remains underutilized, primarily because most Utah seniors don’t even know about it. Tim Funk, a low-income housing policy advocate for Crossroads Urban Center in Salt Lake City, referred to the Circuit Breaker program as a “golden secret,” especially for seniors who don’t actively use computers and are trying to navigate the application process. “Economically, these are people on fixed incomes who have little or no recourse,” Funk told a group of low-income advocates recently. “This program—if it could pay them $300 to $500 on average, especially if they were renters—would be golden to them and make all of us feel a lot better.” County-by-county data gathered by legislative researchers in 2021 showed that Salt Lake County—Utah’s most populous county at more than 1.1 million residents as of April 2020—led the way in use of the program, with 2,578 quali-

roperty taxes on the dream home Darrell Stanley built in Midway eight years ago have spiked. And while he and his wife own the home outright, rising costs are now threatening the housing and retirement he worked so hard to secure. “From 2019 until 2021, my property taxes went up 70 percent,” said the 65-yearold retired commercial pilot, whose pension shrunk after the airline he worked for declared bankruptcy. In one year alone, his tax bill increased from $7,700 to $9,700 because his home’s assessed market value went up about $300,000. “I’m on a fixed income now and can’t afford to have my property taxes going up like this every year,” Stanley said, noting that he worked hard for 30 to 40 years to make his Midway home a reality. He said he fears it could reach the point where “I can’t afford it anymore and will have to move out.” Stanley was excited to learn of one program that might offer some relief—a decades-old tax relief program known as “Circuit Breaker.” It’s geared for low-

fying homeowners claiming the Circuit Breaker tax credit. But rural Daggett County—with a population of just 935 in 2020—logged just one Circuit Breaker recipient that year. Across the state, a tiny percentage of seniors—fewer than 1%—are using the program. —Washington County: With 21% of the population 65 and older, only 0.54% were enrolled. —Weber County: With 12% of the population 65 and older only, 0.35% were enrolled. —Davis County: With 10% of the population 65 and older, only 0.24% were enrolled. —Salt Lake County: With 11% of the population 65 and older, only 0.22% were enrolled. —Utah County: With 8% of the population 65 and older, only 0.14% were enrolled. Currently, the Circuit Breaker program is hampered by lack of resources for outreach and differing administration across 29 individual counties. The program has also suffered at the state level from lack of promotion and a recently defeated attempt in the Legislature to increase participant income caps.

A tax break for Utah seniors could be a lifeline—if only people knew about it.

“With inflation happening like it is, the most vulnerable of our citizens—those who are retired and on fixed incomes—don’t have the capacity to keep pace with the rise in expenses. It’s overdue to broaden the program so that more people can be covered. ” —Rep. Steve Waldrip, R-Eden COURTESY PHOTO

Numbers provided by the state tax commission show that 6,583 homeowners statewide tapped the Circuit Breaker program in 2021, for a total cash payout of almost $3.6 million. Those figures dropped from 12,094 homeowners in 2016, when qualified applicants received almost $4.9 million combined. Meanwhile, some 2,780 renters claimed credits totaling $891,090 in 2020. Jason Gardner, legislative affairs director for the tax commission, said the agency had no numbers tracking actual eligibility for Circuit Breaker. But Funk—who said he’s helped individuals apply for the program—believes the pool of qualified applicants could be triple the number who actually tap the benefit. “Better than half the people who are eligible are not being very well served,” Funk told community advocates during an April Zoom session. He suggested forming a group that would challenge the state to improve outreach regarding Circuit Breaker. Recent U.S. Census data estimated Utah’s 2021 population at roughly 3.3 million, with approximately 380,000 people who are age 65 and up. And about 244,000 individuals in the state live in poverty. In 2021, the federal poverty level was $12,880 for a single Utah resident and $26,500 for a family of four.

Money Pit

Duane Sjoberg, age 81, recently found out about Utah’s Circuit Breaker program through tax-aide volunteers who work with seniors through A ARP of Utah. Sjoberg, a retired mechanical engineer, said he’s lived in his home in unincorporated Davis County for more than 50 years. “We want to stay in our home,” Sjoberg said, noting that the 1,100-square-foot structure still suits his needs even though certain things are becoming more of a chore, such as “seven fruit trees that need to be pruned and tended and a swimming pool that needs lots of attention.” Now, homes like his are selling for more than $400,000, Sjoberg said (the Zillow estimate for his address: $470,000), and property taxes have risen accordingly. But his fixed income has not. After looking into the Circuit Breaker option, Sjoberg felt it wouldn’t do much for him. So he’s checking out the state’s new tax deferral program instead. “It wouldn’t be a problem to qualify for that,” Sjoberg said. In the meantime, he sets aside $225 per month in escrow to cover his annual property tax bill—which he said now totals more than he used to shell each month out for his mortgage payment. Sjoberg may have benefited more from Circuit Breaker had it gotten a boost in the recent 2022 legislative session. Rep. Steve Waldrip—R-Eden—unsuccessfully ran a bill that would have almost doubled the income caps for Circuit Breaker. If HB401 had cleared both chambers, it would have lifted those household income caps to $22,173 on the lower end (to receive the maximum credit) and the upper limit would top out at $45,807.

Waldrip’s measure cleared the House with a unanimous vote but failed to come up for debate in the Senate before the final gavel fell on March 4. And while he said he planned to give the legislation another try in 2023, he recently announced that he was dropping his bid for reelection. “I am concerned that with inflation happening like it is, the most vulnerable of our citizens—those who are retired and on fixed incomes—don’t have the capacity to keep pace with the rise in expenses,” Waldrip said. “It’s overdue to broaden the program so that more people can be covered—and to increase the amounts that they’re eligible for.” Lawmakers did approve another bill this year, SB25, which allows a tax deferral to homeowners age 75 and up who have household incomes that extend up to twice the amount of the Circuit Breaker cap. But when the individual’s home changes hands, the delayed taxes must be reimbursed with interest. Without dedicated marketing budgets, county officials say they’re limited in what they can do to spread the word about property tax relief programs, Circuit Breaker among them. In Salt Lake County, that means posting information about the Circuit Breaker’s homeowners tax relief on its website, printing information about all the property tax relief programs on valuation notices that go out each July, visiting area senior centers and senior expos and also reaching out to local media outlets to spread the word. But the COVID-19 pandemic put a two-year kink in most in-person activity. Joy Hayes, tax relief supervisor in the Salt Lake County Treasurer’s Office, said she had hoped that Waldrip’s bill to raise income caps would pass this year. “When I go to the senior centers and talk to them, I hear that the income limit is really low,” Hayes said. “And due to the tough economy, a lot of people have their kids living with them. So because the program is based on total household income, they no longer qualify.” Weber County Clerk Auditor Ricky Hatch described various complications that arise. “There are instances where several people live in a house. Because of how it’s calculated, we have to count the income of other (adult) household members too,” Hatch said. “And there are some instances where if they own assets in another area, they can’t qualify when in fact those assets might not be convertible. There’s a whole bunch of complex things that make it not quite as easy.” But anyone who qualified in the past automatically receives a reminder to apply again, Hatch said. And when county officials across the state gather for trainings and conferences, Hatch said Circuit Breaker comes up “quite a bit.” “But I don’t recall having a discussion about how we can better get the word out so that people are aware,” Hatch said. “That’s probably something we should do.” Davis County aims to be as proactive as possible, Clerk Auditor Curtis Koch said. Its tax administrators meet with senior center staff and attendees, and they also distribute rack cards with key information about tax relief programs to libraries and city offices throughout the county.

AARP of Utah’s Danny Harris says more Utahns are feeling the pinch of rising property taxes.

The state tax commission publishes information about Circuit Breaker on its website, but that’s the extent of Utah’s renter relief outreach—again due to lack of resources. “We don’t really have an advertising budget,” said Gardner, the agency’s legislative affairs director. “That’s not our business to a great degree.” Gardner credited organizations such as A ARP for picking up the slack. He also suggested that the Utah Department of Workforce Services, which regularly interfaces with people who could benefit from Circuit Breaker, could perhaps incorporate renters’ relief into their current framework. When contacted about Circuit Breaker, DWS spokeswoman Christina Davis said this was the first she’d personally heard of the program. “As far as that kind of need goes, we’re pretty focused on connecting people with heat, and we also have rental-assistance programs that are part of the pandemic response,” Davis said. “We’re certainly happy to help spread the word about Circuit Breaker.” Steve Erickson, a consultant for both the Crossroads Urban Center and Utah’s chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO), said he began working with the state’s housing authorities in the fall of 2021 to spread the word about Circuit Breaker’s renter-relief program. He also put together a one-page fact sheet that could be distributed or posted in offices. “The renters’ rebate is not widely known … and $1,000 for a low-income senior household could be a real game changer,” Erickson said. Danny Harris, advocacy director for A ARP Utah, said that underutilization of Circuit Breaker also concerns his organization. “One of our biggest priorities is to make sure that people have the opportunity to stay in their homes for as long as possible,” Harris said, “and that they have the tools and resources to live independently.”

Making Rent

Part of his role lies in supporting favorable legislation on Utah’s Capitol Hill. Recently, that included Waldrip’s stalled bill and the successful tax-deferral measure that requires paying the credits back when homes get sold. “We’re paying more and more attention to this as property taxes increase, and it’s becoming more of a challenge for people,” Harris said. Dave Moore works as a training resource specialist for A ARP-Utah’s volunteer TaxAide division. “Part of the [reason] Circuit Breaker is underutilized is that people don’t know about it,” Moore said. “But the other part is that Circuit Breaker is not simple to apply for, especially if you’re elderly and not computer savvy.” Linda Oram, state coordinator of Tax-Aide, also described other limitations. “We have 24 sites statewide, each one staffed with two to 12 preparers (105 total),” Oram said. These trained and certified volunteers work with clients in rent-free spaces such as libraries and senior centers. “Generally, all our sites that take reservations fill up weeks in advance. Our sites for walk-ins generally fill up within the first hour of the day,” Moore said. “There’s a huge demand for free tax-preparation help.” But Moore aims to expand Circuit Breaker’s reach. “Our state end-of-season manager meeting is next week,” Moore said. “I’m going to send up a trial balloon to ask if we want to host one or two days next fall where we’ll bring in our laptops and offer to help people at the same sites we do [income] taxes to actually do their applications for Circuit Breaker.” The IRS also offers no-cost tax-preparation services to individuals who qualify through its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs. Koch (Davis County’s clerk auditor) described why he’s a fierce advocate of the Circuit Breaker program. “If we don’t take care of people, we start to fail as a society. Keeping people in their homes has to be a priority,” Koch said “These folks have worked hard to have homeownership … so keeping them (there) when hard times come gives them the opportunity to move forward.” Counties do get reimbursed after the fact for tax-relief credits, the tax commission’s Gardner said, adding that Circuit Breaker homeowners also receive a 20% reduction in the taxable values of their properties. “The reduction in value comes out of the county’s budget,” Gardner said. “The majority comes from the state’s general fund.” And Utah County’s Harvey noted the “donut hole” that exists for very low-income renters who could benefit from Circuit Breaker but do not make enough to require filing income tax returns. “Those are the [people] least likely to reach out to us and also the least likely that I would have direct access to,” Harvey said.

In Utah County, Burt Harvey—division manager for public services and tax administration—expressed frustration about the inability to reach those who could truly benefit from Circuit Breaker. He said the office simply lacks the time and staff. “We don’t have the resources to go out to the various senior centers and maybe set up times to meet with seniors. The county hasn’t funded that,” Harvey said. “I have one person who processes applications and determines if people qualify. With the workload, there’s no way she could even spend one day out of the office.” However, state law does allow leeway in the application deadline, so Harvey said counties often accept applications up until Dec. 31, which is the hard cutoff date. Keri Pallesen doubles as human resource director and auditor for sparsely populated Daggett County—home to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. For this remote county, the back of the valuation notice serves as the main source of all tax relief information. “We do have a senior center. I’ve gone there on occasion but not to talk about Circuit Breaker. But I might consider doing it,” Pallesen said. “Any time we can let our citizens know about a program, it’s good.”

here comes a time in every food enthusiast’s life when they need to reevaluate how much burrito they can handle. In my younger days, for example, I could power a five-dollar texano burrito from whichever drive-through Mexican joint that happened to be in my vicinity without getting wrecked. Lately, this hasn’t been the case, however. I’ve seriously been considering phasing gigantic burritos out of my diet completely—a sad thought to contemplate, truth be told. It was while wrestling with this culinary crisis that I decided to visit Maize Tacos (multiple locations, maizetacos.com) for a bit of street taco therapy. In addition to their excellent menu of tacos, their fresh take on traditional Mexican food has spared me from a burrito-less existence. Maize Tacos started to gain notoriety via its food truck that became known for its tacos al pastor, which are the all-stars of the street taco universe. As the name implies, Maize takes its corn tortillas seriously. They are almost fluffy in their consistency, but that lovely texture doesn’t come at the cost of structural integrity. The street tacos at Maize are delightfully overstuffed, requiring a bit of forethought from the

Maize Tacos makes us remember why we fell in love with tacos in the first place.

Though Maize could serve only tacos and be just fine, their additional offerings of nachos and burritos are more than welcome. I tried their surf-and-turf super nachos ($15), piled high with black beans, rice, a chipotle cream, steak and shrimp. The foundational elements of these nachos— like the homemade tortilla chips and the fluffy seasoned rice—are spot on enough for the bells and whistles to really make an impression. This is as fine a plate of nachos as you can get, though I did think the addition of shredded lettuce wasn’t necessary; all those leafy greens tend to get in the way of the good stuff. On the burrito front, Maize has a few different options to offer. I liked the surfand-turf nachos, and the surf-and-turf burrito ($14) just takes that whole experience and wraps it up in a toasted flour tortilla. The same can be said of the pastor burrito ($10.95) and the carnitas burrito ($10.95)— they pack the same flavors as their taco cousins, but deliver said flavors in much larger quantities. Trying out the different burrito options made me realize that I don’t have to completely cut giant burritos out of my diet. The quality of ingredients and balance of flavors are perfect for those of us whose palates have evolved over the years. For those eager to experience what I am talking about, Maize has a downtown location on Regent Street (135 S. Regent Street, Ste. G) and a newer location in Draper (272 E. 12300 South, Ste. 100), making it easy to get your taco on wherever you are. If you, like the late food writer Jonathan Gold, believe that “taco” should be a verb, then it’s time to check out the overfilled tacos and satisfying burritos at Maize Tacos. CW

I Stand All A-Maize-d

diner before diving in. Tantalizing as the interiors are, it’s the tortillas that will keep me coming back. If they aren’t perfect tortillas, they’ll do the trick until perfection is achieved. The foundation of Maize’s taco menu has to be the al pastor ($3.50). It’s been a restaurant favorite since Maize began, and it’s clear that they have refined this awardwinning recipe over the years. It starts with a heap of tender pork that has been coaxed to the point of roasted perfection on a traditional vertical grill. From there, it gets a sprinkle of cilantro, onion and fresh pineapple. There’s a reason that tacos al pastor reign supreme in the taco world—there’s a harmonious balance between sweet and savory with a bit of herbaceous sharpness from the onion and cilantro—but Maize is on a completely new level here. It’s rare that a bite of food makes me weak in the knees, but that’s the power of these tacos al pastor. Still reeling from the al pastor experience, I took a moment to compose myself and try out the carnitas ($3.50) taco. I figured all of Maize’s efforts went into making that al pastor as near-perfection as possible, but I was once again floored by my bite of carnitas. It’s topped with this golfball sized dollop of fresh guacamole that strikes a fantastic balance with the savory pork carnitas. Again, I was unprepared for the flavor combo that danced across my tastebuds. At this point, I was a bit taken aback at how good this food was. Don’t get me wrong, I have a deep reverence for tacos of all shapes, sizes and quality levels. But the tacos at Maize taste far better than they have any right to. Even the tinga de pollo ($3.50), a taco with chipotle-braised, shredded chicken, exceeded my expectations. Chicken tacos are often less impressive than those made with pork or steak, but Maize continues to demonstrate an uncanny mastery of flavors here.

Burgers so good they’ll blow your mind!

Uinta/Utah Pink Boots Society - Our Lady of the Desert: You’ll come across quite a few Pink Boots Society beers out there (see Beer Nerd, April 14 issue), but only one that was collaborated on by nearly all of Utah’s breweries. Our Lady of the Desert is a lager that utilizes the 2022 Pink Boots hop blend, and was brewed at Uinta’s brewhouse. It pours a clear and bright golden color, with very refined streams of tiny bubbles. I love the clarity in the body; it’s a classic attribute for a pilsner. The head is crackling and full at first, leaving an airy mess of huge bubbling in the top of the glass. The nose is just gorgeous: a full bouquet of new and old hops that’s like being smacked in the face by a demolition ball made of potpourri. Crisp and sharp herbal characters emerge, with plenty of citrus and bite and pungent, sharp ozone characters. Whew, what an aroma! The first taste is also very good, and drags it nicely back into the crisp, drinkable territory of good pilsners. Sharp hop oil on the front delicately balances with mild light grain characters that give it a crispness throughout, and though there’s some lingering bitterness on the back, it complements the mouthfeel. Citrus and herbs on the assault fade away for the mid-palate, which is grainy, with barley and a touch of wheat. Hops return for the finish with a fresh-cut grass flavor, balanced with fruity notes of passionfruit and lemon. They fade away nicely and slowly, and the final notes are crisply bitter Overall: This has everything you want from pilsner, with a hoppy punch that is far from traditional. Since Our Lady of the Desert is a multibrewery collaboration, you’ll not only find it at Uinta on draft, but at many of the collaborating Utah breweries as well. The Spanish Cedar Infused Whole Flower DryHopped Nitro Pale Ale is unique to Grid City, and due to its nitro conditioning, it will only be available to enjoy at Grid City’s pub. As always, cheers! CW

rid City - Spanish Cedar Infused Whole Flower Dry-Hopped Nitro Pale Ale: This new pale ale from Grid City features Spanish cedar as its gueststar. The hop bill utilizes a fairly common zap of Citra and Mosaic, but it’s the wood that shines here. Spanish cedar imparts aromas similar to a cigar box, with flavors like citrus, spicy white pepper and sandalwood. It poured an unfiltered amber orange color, that took on more of a reddish tinge when held to the light, with two fingers worth of creamy nitro foam that lasts for days. The aroma starts off with a slightly higher level of medium sweetness, with the hops being the first to show up; they impart a mixture of citrus rind, floral and piney hops, with the floral and citrus notes sticking out the most. Up next comes a woody cedar aroma, and when combined with the hop profile, it makes for an aroma that is a little perfumelike. The hops and the cedar work well together for a lovey bouquet. The taste seems to be similar to the aroma, but it’s a little lighter, starting off with a that same slightly higher amount of medium sweetness as the aroma, and with no single hoppy aspect sticking out the most. Up next comes the cedar, which is assertive enough on its own, though some green hop flavors also show up a little. That’s followed by some light malts, which impart on the palate the same aspects that they did before in the aroma. On the finish, there’s a slightly lighter amount of medium bitterness, combined with a hoppy aftertaste.

Overall: This beer had nice drinkability—not too filling, and the cedar taste does a decent job at holding my attention. I never got bored while enjoying this, and even went back in for one more.

Boiling Bowl Opens

| CITY WEEKLY |

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

A new Japanese hot pot restaurant called Boiling Bowl (3424 S. State Street, Ste. B, 385-528-2963, boilingbowlut.com) recently opened near the Chinatown Supermarket in South Salt Lake. From the looks of things, it offers single serving hot pot entrees that encompass everything from Korean kimchi to ox tripe. There is nothing quite as satisfying as hearing a hotpot sizzle as it makes its way to your table, and this place looks like it’s serving up the good stuff. For the warmer weather, Boiling Bowl also serves up a selection of refreshing poke bowls that look delightful. Both the hot pot and poke menu look to have a good amount of plant-based options as well.

If you miss enjoying a plate of Middle Eastern favorites while a belly dancer wiggles through the restaurant— RIP, Cedars of Lebanon—you may want to check out Shanasheel Grill (725 E. 3300 South, 801-803-9434, shanasheelgrill.com). Its menu will offer lunchtime favorites like falafel wraps and shawarma, along with chicken and lamb combination entrees for dinner. According to early info, Shanasheel also plans on featuring belly dancer shows during business hours, which I’m guessing can be booked for group reservations or dinner reservations. Shanasheel officially opened its doors on May 2, and we’re happy to have another tasty Middle Eastern eatery in town.

realities that centers on America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a young woman with the power to cross between universes. Some mysterious force wants to use that power for its own ends, and for help, Strange reaches out to Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), still mostly in isolation while grieving for Vision and the life she imagined into existence for herself in the Disney+ WandaVision miniseries. Wanda’s desire to find a happy version of herself somewhere in the multiverse forms one of the story’s pivot points, along with Strange’s mourning for the lost opportunity with his beloved Christine (Rachel McAdams). In theory, either or both of these subplots could create the same emotional hook that Raimi found in the Peter/Mary Jane relationship from the Spider-man films, but the script by Michael Waldron (Loki) never quite finds that feeling in the same way. Instead of treating heartaches with earnestness, Multiverse feels like it approaches them with calculation. And that’s because it feels impossible at this point for the Marvel movies to exist within themselves fully. Because they’re always looking to the next chapter, or making sure they reference the previous

e know what a Sam Raimi superhero movie looks like. We know what a Marvel Studios superhero movie looks like. The real question, then, was what would a Sam Raimi Marvel Studios superhero movie look like? If Raimi’s original Spider-man trilogy didn’t literally kick off the 21st century’s Age of the Comic-Book Movie—X-Men beat it to the punch by a couple of years in proving the box-office appeal of lesser-known costumed characters—it certainly set a standard for both creative and financial success. Raimi brought his gonzo kineticism to stories that ultimately felt human, allowing them to be almost corny in their emotional beats. Yet even as the Marvel Cinematic Universe looked to those movies as a model for what was possible, the individual humanity of the MCU entries has since become far less important than keeping the machine rolling. So as Raimi returns after 15 years to the world of filmed splash pages for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it was reasonable to wonder which paradigm would win out. Is it a Raimi movie? Is it a Marvel movie? Could it actually somehow be both? The Marvel side is certainly on display as Multiverse pulls from the long-running saga’s other chapters, though not so much the similarly multiverse-focused Spiderman: No Way Home. Here, master of the mystic arts Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) discovers a threat to multiple

oved to Salt Lake City in January. Started working at the City Weekly in February. Kinda got the hang of things in March. Caught COVID in April. This 2022 sure has been a kooky time to learn a whole new music scene! First some COVID talk; then other, sundry, less-intense topics. COVID in Four Talking Points. Point 1: This piece was supposed to hang on an interview with some local radio show hosts. But one of that crew got COVID and begged off until his health re-arrives; a smart decision, though a drag for all parties involved. Point 2: For 11 days, yours truly rode the upsand-downs of a daily positive test. It was a good measure of personal patience though I m i s s e d s o m e shows that l o o k e d p l e n t y good. Towards the end, I was reading the fine print in CDC messaging for my get-outtajail pass, but I stuck it out until negative results arrived twice. Glad to be back. Point 3: I can pretty much say that a show in a poorly-ventilated room was the culprit in my case, though going out multiple times a week probably negates the need to isolate one particular villain. Attending concerts at this moment clearly brings risks, and I’m hopeful that anyone reading this has enjoyed the euphoria of multiple vaccinations. Point 4: Though random, the first time that I noticed that the good folks of SLC had “had it” with COVID was a Robert Earl Keen show at The State Room, as I was the only person on the dancefloor wearing a mask. Moving through this weird epoch, a lot of isolated moments stand out as indicators of shifts, and that was sure one. Anyway, here’s to y’all’s health. Best Finger Slip: A couple weeks into living here, I was listening to KBER 101.1 FM when that rock’n’roll station played Metallica’s cover of “Whiskey in the Jar” one too many times; it’s a track that’s got a strangely-outsized presence on the station, though it’s not the only song like that. Having burned out on “Whiskey” by that point,

MUSIC I went to silence the station, instead finding 99.9 by an accidental spin down the dial. The show Second Wind was airing on 99.9 FM KUA A at that very moment, and I was entranced by the show’s freeform style and goofy-but-educational hosts, John and Justin. One listen equaled full station fandom. We touched on the station’s overnight jazz programming in a previous CW article, but would heartily recommend the shows airing there on weeknights from 7-10 pm; I’ll plan on highlighting those show hosts on the Buzz Blog in coming weeks. The 100-watt station’s available inside the city limits and streams worldwide on kuaafm.org. Making Good Habits: This isn’t an outright gripe, but this town might lack for music at regularly-booked venues that aren’t a) ticketed shows, or b) pure listening rooms. Another way of saying this is that it’s great to have options to see/hear music without a cover and without having a full concert experience. Local brewpubs have been a great landing point to catch SLC acts. There’s something live and local most every night at Hopkins Brewing (1048 E 2100 S), where the jazz programming is emphasized and exceptional. Meanwhile, RoHa Brewing Project (30 E. Kensington Ave.) has been a go-to for finding real range, with blues, Americana, bluegrass, pysch/jam and singer/songwriter types all having been sampled in that one room. I have an eye on catching some music at Kiitos Brewing (608 W. 700 South) soon enough; hey, Kiitos, check your DMs! Though not a br e w pub, the muKUAA sic at the Stickers I n t e r n a tional Artist L ou n ge/ Ba r (342 S. State) is universally smart, unique and challenging, booked across the week; you can ditto those adjectives for the Sunday afternoon record spins at T.F. Brewing (936 S. 300 West). Record Sales: It’s been fun to make the rounds of local record shops. It’s cool to check out books, art and vinyl at 9th and 9th Books & Music Gallery (872 E. 900 South); cassette players and cut-outs at Randy’s Record Shop (157 E. 900 South); the highlycurated jazz and adjacent sounds at Elevator Jazz Gallery (412 S. 700 West, Unit 140); the general goodness of Lavender Vinyl (123 25th Street, Ogden); and the wonderfully-weird dollar bins at Diabolical Records (238 S. Edison St.). In the seven days between writing these words and when you might read them, I’ve got eyes on finally crossing the thresholds of Graywhale (1773 W. 4700 South) and Raunch Records (1119 E. 2100 South). It’s never too late! Help Me Help You Help Me: Send tips on local music culture to tcrone@cityweekly. net. And bands: For the love of all that’s good, get yourself a current bio and press pic.

Roy Orbitron

Ch-ch-ch-chchanges Roy Orbitron—aka Conor Meara—completes a longgestating album during a time of transition. BY THOMAS CRONE tcrone@cityweekly.net

t’s a guess, and only a guess, but Conor Meara’s next album—recorded and released under the name of Roy Orbitron—might feature some songs about transitions. That’d only be natural, as the recent SLC arrival has come to town with a host of elements in flux. Instead of leaning into every one of his life’s many changes, he first tackled the one thing that he had some control over. That was a partially-finished, six-song album called Post-Byronic. It’s available now on Bandcamp, showcasing six-songs that were begun way back in the last months of 2019, aka the time just prior to Covid-19. Writing, recording, collecting digital submissions from friends around the country and the final mix-down took place in almost a half-dozen states. The final push took place in Salt Lake, where Meara, his young son and girlfriend/bandmate Ellie Cohen now reside. Landing in town for good around the first of February, Meara revisited the tracks, calling on old and new friends to polish off his EP. Meanwhile, he began to tentatively explore the local music scene. Among the new folks he met was multiband bassist Luke Bamford. “He’s been plugging me into what’s happening around

town,” Meara says, “and telling me where the record stores are.” That’s a solid bit of information, as Meara’s moving this work onto some physical media sooner than later. To start, he’s having the Far Out Cassette Club make a run of 30 tapes, “which’ll be cool for handing out to people” and might be good for a few dollars coming back, too. After that, he’s planning on selling a couple of guitars, giving him enough money to release a twosided, 10-inch piece of vinyl, a process he hopes to see through this summer. At that point, he’s ready to call it a wrap on the three-year-old Post-Byronic cycle of creation, recording and release. It’ll remain a sort of digital calling card, an album that he hopes will ease his transition in putting together a new group for SLC. He’s got a start on that band in Cohen, who’s been learning drums. Though she’s never really played with other musicians before, other than her teachers, it’s been interesting. “We’re coming up with some really cool stuff,” Meara says. “We’ll add some bass to it and have a bigger sound.” (As an aside, Meara moved to town to support Cohen in a new, created-for-her position at The Entertainment Arts and Engineering [EAE] Program at the University of Utah, described as “a top-ranked program in video game education and research and a national leader in the nascent discipline of games.” She’s got “a background in philosophy and video games,” Meara says, plus that newfound appreciation for rock’n’roll drumming.) Hoping to put all the elements together soon, Meara’s learning a city as new songs form. What’s next is anyone’s guess. “I don’t have a live set to play (for my EP) or a label to promote and distribute it, so I’m writing a lot of music,” he admits. “I don’t know what’s possible here, yet.” For more information, visit royorbitron.bandcamp.com and instagram.com/ faroutcassetteclub.

The Church @ The Commonwealth

There’s not an ’80s cover band worth its salt that doesn’t include “Under the Milky Way” in their catalog, and the great ones know “Reptile” as well. Undoubtedly, the album Starfish was The Church’s commercial zenith, but the group was known to create beautiful, psychedelically-tinged pop both before and after their unquestioned classic. With guitarist Peter Koppes having recently left the fold, the only original member of the band is the group’s linchpin, songwriter/bassist/vocalist Steve Kilbey; that said, he’s surrounded himself with players who’ve been on the clock for years. His presence alone means that The Church can confidently perform any song from any era. So expect some nuggets and likely at least a track or two from their upcoming (and 25th overall) album. Pre-

Pom Pom Squad @ Beehive

Sometimes, it pays to just let a band’s bio do the work it was intended to do. See: Pom Pom Squad. Regarding their 2021 album Death of a Cheerleader, we’re told: “Equal parts grimy garage rock authenticity and swirling cinematic flourishes, Death Of a Cheerleader encourages listeners to be their own special kind of cheerleader while exploring the terrifying yet liberating topics of independent self-acceptance, smashing the white male patriarchy, being okay with not being okay, and fully embracing your own skin for the first time in your life.” Sounds like the perfect mix for a Beehive show. And, lo!, Pom Pom Squad, fronted by the compelling Mia Berrin, plays the all-ages Beehive (666 S. State) on Saturday, May 7. Ticket info’s at 24tix.com.

Widowspeak @ Soundwell

Widowspeak have been creating evocative rock music for a dozen years, with six albums released on the well-regarded Captured Tracks label. Their latest, about a month old now, is The Jacket, which was preceded by a single/video of the same name. Guitarworld.com says that “the New York-based duo have both gone back to basics as a guitar band and somehow made their most original and complete record yet. … It rattles along its own path, referencing everything from The Velvet Underground to Pavement and beyond on the way.” Widowspeak’s latest visit to SLC takes place on Monday, May 9, at Soundwell (149 W. 200 South); it was origi-

nally scheduled for Hangar House, though the $15-20 tickets are still available at hangarhouseslc.com. Doors are at 7 p.m., with support acts Sylvie and Dad Bod.

MUSIC PICKS

Christian Death @ Liquid Joes

The local black-on-black community’s gonna be in one place for the evening, as Christian Death arrives in SLC to support the 2022 album Evil Becomes Rule, due out in May, with the single “Beautiful” already in circulation. Really, though, the band’s audience would be fine with anything performed by the art rock band, which dates back to 1979. Bandleader/ guitarist/vocalist Valor Kand’s been on-hand since 1983, and bassist/vocalist Maitri’s been in the fold since 1991. Though dozens have played with them over the decades, this core duo is all that’s needed for all the goths to gather on a Tuesday night. Christian Death takes the state of Liquid Joe’s (1249 E. 3300 South) on Tuesday, May 10. Tickets at $17 can be found at liquidjoes.ticketsauce.com; doors are listed at 7 p.m.

Front Line Assembly @ Metro Music Hall

There are younger folks that’ll attend all-day/ all-night shows at Saltair this year, dancing their cares away while blissfully unaware of the band Front Line Assembly; though headier peers will know that the group’s been influential within the electronic music scene since the mid-’80s. In a week (well, a month) that’s seen a curiously-large variety of bands of that time bringing shows to SLC, FLA’s one that hasn’t really taken big breaks, releasing music almost continuously since 1987; with seven albums released within this century they’ve shown themselves interested in creating new sounds for new audiences. Front Line Assembly appears with Rein and Firewinde[r] at Metro Music Hall (615 W. 100 South) on Wednesday, May 11, with a 7 p.m. door and tickets priced at $25, available via 24tix.com. CW

The Church

COURTESY PHOTO

Working around two hiatuses of several years apiece, The Cult has found itself active since 1983, with vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy providing the constancy in the band’s look, sound and songwriting. Though other personnel have swapped in and out over the years, the current version of the band has been intact for seven-years, ensuring a cohesive, roadtested unit. Even as the group’s likely to salt in a few newer cuts, their deep catalog ensures that longtime fans will be treated to the classics, like “Fire Woman,” “Rain” and “She Sells Sanctuary”—the tracks that helped the group carve out an interesting niche within the hard rock world some 30 years ago. Recent tours have suggested that the band’s fervor for that material’s at a high enough clip to satisfy the old heads. The Cult plays at The Complex (536 W. 100 South) with Des Rocks on Saturday, May 7. Doors are at 7 p.m. and tickets are priced at $45, available via livenation.com or through either Graywhale Entertainment store.

pandemic tours with contemporaries like the Psychedelic Furs showed that there’s still plenty of life in this veteran unit. The Church will play The Commonwealth Room (195 W. 2100 South) on Saturday, May 7, with an 8 p.m. start time and no opening act. Ticket info at thestateroompresents. com.

And since the family from Minnesota had flown in with her to enable the nonagenarian to drink whiskey and gamble for her landmark date—what the hell—I flew down and surprised her at the Golden Nugget downtown. Pretty fun to catch up on the decades. I hadn’t been in Vegas for a few years, and the town was packed for the NFL Draft. The room was fine except for the Fremont Street noise each night (complimentary ear plugs were in each room), but I was aghast that there was no evidence of recycling in the room, hotel or casino. Each room came with at least four single-use water bottles and at least half of the folks wandering the casino had such bottles in hand. Apparently, Nevada does not have mandated recycling. Yet, Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing areas of the U.S. and the average stay for a hotel visit is four days, which can generate up to 2 ½ pounds of waste per room. Hotels in Vegas range from 200 to 6,000 rooms apiece, with more than 145,000 available lodging rooms and some of the largest hotels in the world. One article I read reported that up to 40% of the total waste generated by hotels is food waste. Several hotels have their own recycling program in-house, where employees separate trash. Harrah’s generates 28 tons of steel from beer and soda cans. The Hilton and other hotels have people search through trash for valuable silverware, dishes and linens lost in hotel waste. Treasure Island recycles 900 tons of materials each year and many hotels give leftover food to local charities. Back home in SLC, I wonder what new high-rises and hotels will be doing to help our planet. In January 2018, SLC changed its ordinances to require businesses and multifamily properties that produce over four cubic yards of waste each week to recycle. Hopefully that means the almost completed Hyatt Regency (700 rooms at 170 S. West Temple) will be planet-friendly. There’s the 40-story building going up on the corner of 200 South and State Street, and the 30-story one at 300 South and 300 East, where the Tavernacle was located. Not to mention that virtually each block in the main downtown area and west to the airport has at least one new multi-level housing unit going up now or in the near future. All will have a huge impact on food waste, recyclables and trash in our capital city. Salt Lake City has a goal to become zerowaste by 2040—that’s just 18 years away. Something tells me we may need to extend that goal unless we want to be more aggressive with overall recycling here. And then, how much water will Vegas and SLC need to accommodate growth?

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Poet Jennifer Willoughby writes, “I am so busy. I am practicing my new hobby of watching me become someone else. There is so much violence in reconstruction. Every minute is grisly, but I have to participate. I am building what I cannot break.” I wouldn’t describe your own reconstruction process during recent months as “violent” or “grisly,” Aries, but it has been strenuous and demanding. The good news is that you have mostly completed the most demanding work. Congratulations on creating an unbreakable new version of yourself! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z tells us, “Don’t ever go with the flow. Instead, be the flow.” Here’s what I think he means: If we go with the flow, we adjust and accommodate ourselves to a force that is not necessarily aligned with our personal inclinations and needs. To go with the flow implies we are surrendering our autonomy. To claim our full sovereignty, on the other hand, we are wise to be the flow. We should create our own flow, which is just right for our unique inclinations and needs. I think this is the right approach for you right now, Taurus. Be the flow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Author Anne Lamott is renowned for her tender approach to expressing her struggles with addiction, depression and other tribulations. One of her supreme tests was being a single mother who raised her son, Sam. In this effort, she was her usual plucky self. Anytime she hosted playdates with Sam’s friends at her home, she called on the help of crayons, paint, pens, clay and scissors. “When we did art with the kids, the demons would lie down,” she testified. I recommend a comparable strategy in the coming days, Libra. You will have extra power as you tame, calm or transform your demons. Making art could be effective, as well as any task that spurs your creativity and imagination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) My Virgo friend Amanda told me she felt tight and overwrought. She was on the verge of a meltdown. With a rueful sigh, she added, “I adore anything that helps me decompress, unwind, simmer down, stop worrying, lighten up, compose myself and mellow out.” So I invited her to take deep breaths, close her eyes and visualize herself immersed in blue-green light. Then I asked her to name influences she loved: people, animals, natural places, music, books, films, art and physical movements that made her feel happy to be alive. She came up with eight different sources of bliss, and together we meditated on them. Half an hour later, she was as relaxed as she had been in months. I recommend you try a comparable exercise every day for the next 14 days. Be proactive about cultivating tranquil delight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The genre of poetry known as haiku often relies on unexpected juxtapositions. Critic R.H. Blyth observed, “In haiku, the two entirely different things that are joined in sameness are poetry and sensation, spirit and matter.” I suspect your life in the coming weeks will have metaphorical resemblances to haikus. You will be skilled at blending elements that aren’t often combined, or that should be blended but haven’t been. For inspiration, read these haikus by Raymond Roseliep: 1. in the stream / stones making half / the music. 2. horizon / wild swan drifting through / the woman’s body. 3. birthcry! / the stars / are all in place. 4. bathwater / down the drain / some of me. 5. grass / holding the shape / of our night. 6. campfire extinguished, / the woman washing dishes / in a pan of stars.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Aquarian poet Jack Gilbert wrote, “I lie in the dark wondering if this quiet in me now is a beginning or an end.” I don’t know how Gilbert solved his dilemma. But I suspect you will soon be inclined to pose a similar question. In your case, the answer will be that the quiet in you is a beginning. Ah! But in the early going, it may not resemble a beginning. You might be puzzled by its fuzzy, meandering quality. But sooner or later, the quiet in you will become fertile and inspirational. You will ride it to the next chapter of your life story.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “When in doubt, act like God,” proclaimed Leo singer-songwriter Madonna. I wouldn’t usually endorse that advice. But I’ll make an exception for you Leos during the next three weeks. Due to a divine configuration of astrological omens, you are authorized to ascend to new heights of sovereignty and selfpossession—even to the point of doing a vivid God impersonation. For best results, don’t choose an angry, jealous, tyrannical deity to be your role model. Pattern yourself after a sweeter, funnier, more intimate type of celestial being.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “My heart has developed a kind of amnesia, where it remembers everything but itself,” writes Scorpio poet Sabrina Benaim. If you suffer a condition that resembles hers, it’s about to change. According to my astrological analysis, your heart will soon not only remember everything; it will also remember itself. What a blissful homecoming that will be—although it may also be unruly and confounding, at least in the beginning. But after the initial surprise calms down, you will celebrate a dramatic enhancement of emotionally rich self-knowledge. You will feel GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The Italian language used to be a dialect spoken in Tuscany. That united with the source of your longing to love and be loved. area comprises less than 8% of the country’s territory. How did such a dramatic evolution happen? Why did a local dialect SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) supersede other dialects like Piedmontese, Neapolitan, Sicilian “Just because things hadn’t gone the way I had planned didn’t and others? In part, it was because three 14th-century writers necessarily mean they had gone wrong,” writes Sagittarian wrote in the Tuscan dialect: Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch author Ann Patchett. Her thoughts may be helpful for you to and Giovanni Boccaccio. Another reason: Because Tuscany is meditate on. My guess is that you will ultimately be glad that centrally located in Italy, its dialect was less influenced by lan- things didn’t go the way you planned.
