Retail account exec. Far from cookie cutter, the U. grad lived in South Korea for three years before returning to Utah. When not mapping her next outdoor adventure, the Ogdenite is out hitting the pavement. “The best part of my job here is getting to work with so many great local business owners and helping them grow,” she says.

Cover story, March 15, “The Foilies”

I think you were a little harsh on the Trump administration in this piece. In 1998 I attended a symposium on Ethics and Transparency at Trump Tower, the key speaker was Donald Trump. Mr. Trump wowed the audience for four hours with his knowledge and history of ethics and fair business practices. The audience was riveted while he discussed the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act of 1964 all without a teleprompter. We finished the evening with a fine steak and chocolate cake. Truly a night to remember!

Where Have All the Homeless Gone?

Dear Editor, Operation Rio Grande launched in August of 2017 with the promise of cleaning up the streets of downtown Salt Lake City. This three part effort to alleviate chronic homelessness left many people with high hopes that there would no longer be such a high number of people sleeping on the streets. However, with the most recent update showing that as of Feb. 5, 2018, 84 people have entered into a treatment facility, and 14 are now employed, it has also left some wondering where have all the

others gone? You once used to be able to take a walk down the street and see them filled with people sitting on the corner or sleeping in the parks. Now, walking down the streets of 200 South near the Gateway Mall, you will notice that there are significantly fewer homeless people as you look around. If it’s only reported that 84 people have gone into treatment and 14 have become employed through this operation, then where is everyone else? Sincerely,

OPINION

Redeemed by Poets

I was a high-school English teacher in 2001, the year Billy Collins was appointed U.S. poet laureate. Teaching was the hardest job I ever had—harder than digging trenches, sheetrocking ceilings or selling door-to-door. That’s because most of my students didn’t like reading such novels as The Scarlet Letter, and they recoiled from poetry. I tried my best to win them over. I introduced poetry by Nevada cowboys. I had them read Paul Fleischman’s melodic poems for two voices. I played recordings of Carl Sandburg. I invoked the meter of Anglo-Saxon poetry in talking about rap, Eminem and RunDMC. And I put Collins’ website, “Poetry 180,” into practice. Collins launched “Poetry 180” with high-school classrooms in mind. He posted 180 poems—one for every day of the school year—and encouraged teachers to read the poems aloud without any follow-up discussion. “Hearing a poem every day, especially well-written, contemporary poems that students do not have to analyze, might convince students that poetry can be an understandable, painless and even eyeopening part of their everyday experience,” he wrote. That’s what I did: I opened every class by reading one of the 180 poems. It proved to be painless. Was it transformative? Did the kids develop a taste for poetry? Not really. But they listened, and every now and then, one of of them asked for a printed copy of the day’s poem. My days of wine and roses and Poetry 180 are on my mind for two reasons. First, April arrives next week ushering in National Poetry Month, the world’s largest literary event. Second, the wretched state of public discourse cries out for

BY JOHN RASMUSON poetic grace. Our president recycles playground language— “loser,” “stupid,” and “moron”—in his public pronouncements. His detractors respond in kind with “liar,” “narcissist” and “incompetent.” Both sides would be redeemed by poetry. I don’t mean a bawdy limerick about Stormy Daniels or an ode to Fox & Friends. I mean the deft touch of a poet like Alexander Pope smoothing the jagged edges of partisan rhetoric. How about “a brain of feathers and a heart of lead” in the Oval Office instead of a “racist?” Pope could also be used by apologists like Kellyanne Conway when Trump’s lying is assailed: “And, after all, what is a lie? ‘Tis but the truth in a masquerade.” Isn’t that better spin than “alternate facts”? To spin is to distort, but “poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted,” wrote Percy Bysshe Shelley. Beauty is too much to expect from Washington’s funhouse mirrors, and the Capitol is rife with Rumpelstiltskins spinning straw into gold. I think of lines by Emily Dickinson: “Tell all the truth but tell it slant/ Success in circuit lies.” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is more dissembler than spinmeister. Her combative style is on display in televised sessions as reporters are “nosing to the scent” like a pack of hounds. Their frustration with her is apparent. No doubt they would appreciate E.E. Cummings’ line: “There is some shit I will not eat.” The White House is like a blender with the lid off, writes Maureen Dowd in The New York Times. The well-documented turmoil recalls a line from W.B. Yeats: “Things fall apart; the center cannot hold.” My congressman, Chris Stewart, likens the White House to the movie Caddyshack with Trump channeling Al Czervik, Rodney Dangerfield’s obstreperous character. Truth be told, Stewart has become as unlikeable as Czervik. His recent appearances on cable-TV news shows—parroting right-wing talking points about the CIA, NSA and FBI—put me off. So much so I began drafting a vitriolic email to him, predicting his

ouster in the next election. He probably gets a lot of email like that. How much better to borrow from A.E. Housman: “You may be good for something, but you are not good for me./ Oh, go where you are wanted, for you are not wanted here” (in Congressional District 2). My modification of Housman signals opportunity for the Geeks Who Drink trivia competitions in Salt Lake City bars: a poetry category in which famous but altered lines are matched with the poets who composed the originals. Like these: n Human kind cannot bear very much reality TV. (Eliot) n Quoth the raven-haired Nikki Haley, “Nevermore.” (Poe) n Fools rush in where angels fear to tweet. (Pope) n Look on my works, ye mighty NRA, and despair. (Shelley) n One could do worse than be a swinger. (Frost) Immigration is a subject ripe for poetic expression if for no other reason than Emma Lazarus’ poem on the Statue of Liberty frames the issue: “Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.” The president disagrees. During his recent inspection of wall prototypes, Trump pronounced some of them formidable enough to deter even the “professional mountain climbers” seeking to leave Mexico for the U.S. As the cameras panned the hulking sections of a border wall, Robert Frost called out to me: “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.” Backers of National Poetry Month have designated April 26 as Poem in Your Pocket day. They want you to pick a poem, carry it with you and share it at work, school or #pocketpoem. I choose Tennyson’s “Ulysses” because it is about guys like me, “made weak by time and fate” (and teaching), who nevertheless are “strong in will/ to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” CW Send feedback to comments@cityweekly.net

HITS&MISSES BY KATHARINE BIELE @kathybiele

Slow to React

Did anyone even know that Utah was preparing a lawsuit on opioid abuse? KSTU Channel 13 did. They reported the Legislature passed a resolution calling for the suit after House Speaker Greg Hughes criticized the attorney general for being slow to file one. Poor Sean Reyes. He says he’s just trying to save money—and negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies. After all, Utah needs expensive outside counsel on this one. And everyone knows Big Pharma will negotiate in good faith. Sarcasm aside, there is a place for opioids, particularly since medical marijuana is only available if you’re dying—and soon. Summit County, The Salt Lake Tribune said, sued 25 companies and individuals because they didn’t note the inherent dangers. A couple of letters to the editor, however, pleaded for caution as two physicians fell into the net, and some patients might lose a necessary tool for pain control.

Charming Development

Two names that elicit anxiety in neighborhood communities: Woodbury Corp. and Ivory Homes. That’s because they’re the big guns in the commercial development industry, building monolithic big-box tracts that subsume local identities. To their credit—and perhaps the activism of neighbors—the long-stalled Cottonwood Mall development is taking a new tack. Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Salt Lake, posted “A New Plan with Enduring Quality” on her Facebook page after a public outcry threatened to halt any development. Reduced building heights, more open space and homes on tree-lined streets are some of their additions. They promise to “maintain Holladay’s unique feel and charm.” It’s not an easy promise to keep, but given that the 57 acres sat vacant for a decade, it’s a promise worth exploring.

A March for What?

Think about it: “The March Before Our Lives.” What Second Amendment mastermind thought up this one? Before our lives end? Maybe it was a cry for the unborn—or before that, since Right-to-Lifers seem to think that any ol’ zygote is “life.” The 1,000 gun rights marchers were determined to show up those liberal March For Our Lives wimps. The NRA mocked the “gun-hating billionaires and Hollywood elites [who] are manipulating and exploiting children as part of their plan to DESTROY the Second Amendment.” That begs the question of why the Salt Lake gun-rights cabal put a little girl carrying a sign “Criminals love gun control” in a truck with a mounted assault weapon. The Deseret News might have been trying to make everyone feel better with a story, “School shootings ‘not a raging epidemic,’ expert says.” That, of course, misses the point.

SCHOOL TO PRISON SYMPOSIUM

What is your role in the lives of American public school students—the ones who are marginalized and at risk? The 3rd annual Breaking the Pipeline Symposium will look at what’s happening to students today in an increasingly violent world, and study possible ways to help teachers, administrators, social workers, juvenile justice practitioners and legal practitioners. The symposium will also look at recent legislation, liquor laws, driver license requirements, conduct and discipline. In other words, what is it that the system can do to discourage the over-criminalization of youth? S.J. Quinney College of Law, Level 6, 383 S.

MARCH AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE

Students are not only speaking out and demanding action on issues other than gun violence. In Take Back the Night!, they are homing in on sexual violence, which disproportionately impacts women of color, trans and queer folks, and young people, say organizers from the University of Utah and Westminster College. You will hear personal stories during an open mic session, when you, too, can share your experiences. The march will travel from the U to Westminster’s Bassis Lounge. University of Utah, 201 S. Presidents Circle, Thursday, April 5, 6-8 p.m., free, bit.ly/2DPjEX A.

RALLY AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY

There seems to be an epidemic of outof-control police officers. In Utah, three well-publicized acts of police violence have occurred in the past few weeks. Rally Against Utah Police Violence! Community Control Now! is seeking answers and demanding action. “Federal agents are killing people in Sandy. West Valley officers are shooting teenagers and illegally entering homes to harass families. And these cops are still getting paid, still being protected by politicians who don’t care about the victims of police brutality,” say organizers who have seen a troubling trend of trigger-happy law enforcement officers.

STRAIGHT DOPE Head Case Football players’ concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy have been in the news a lot. Do woodpeckers, banging their beaks against trees, sustain such brain trauma? How about bighorn sheep? —Nancy

It’s true there’s a serious need to address CTE, a punishing degenerative brain disease that looks to be endemic among former pro football players, and might be a cause for worry in soccer and hockey as well. So naturally one might wonder about species that engage in regular headbanging and seem no worse for wear. Woodpeckers show a number of anatomical adaptations that help distribute the energy of repeated highintensity impact. But from a sports-medicine perspective their big innovation might turn out to involve their tongue. Don’t feel bad if you didn’t see that one coming. The tongue is a little-celebrated element in the woodpecker’s famous feeding MO—one birdwatching website calls its surprising length “one of the best-kept secrets of birdlore”—and the anti-concussive properties of woodpecker tongue mechanics have only recently attracted attention. As you’re aware, the woodpecker makes its living by pounding its chisel-like beak into trees (20 times a second, maybe 12,000 reps a day), then extracting whatever chow is thus exposed. This is where the extralong tongue comes in, variously adapted depending on the species to probe deep crevices in the wood and haul up bugs, grubs, sap, etc. Now, if you’re a bird with a tongue several times the length of your bill, where’s it supposed to go when you’re not using it? All vertebrates have an arrangement of bone and cartilage below the upper jaw to support the tongue, called the hyoid apparatus. With woodpeckers, a notably elaborate hyoid setup lets the tongue retract behind and up over the top of the skull, in some species all the way to the bird’s nostrils. At rest, a woodpecker’s tongue is basically wrapped around its cranium. And seemingly this protects its brain as it hammers away. Much credit goes to the strong, flexible material making up the hyoid apparatus, allowing the whole thing to act as a kind of combination shock absorber and seat belt. But, and perhaps crucially, the muscle called the omohyoid also gently constricts the jugular vein while the woodpecker is feeding. This reduces outflow of blood from the brain, causing the blood vessels surrounding it to expand and create what sports-medicine researcher Gregory Myer calls the “Bubble Wrap effect.” Bighorn sheep, known for their headbutting, might achieve the same result via different means. Hollow cores in their horns are connected to their respiratory tract, which, Myer thinks, enables them to send already-breathed air back through the system a second time. The higher CO2 content of the recycled air would cause their oxygen-hungry brain to retain more

blood, again producing inflated vessels and added cushioning. In contact sports, extra brain cushioning is what we need. Our skull doesn’t snugly encase the brain—that would transfer too much impact shock to its contents. Instead, the brain sits suspended in fluid, which provides enough shock buffering for everyday use, but violent jolts cause it to smack against the inside of the skull. Called “brain slosh” by concussion experts, this is the phenomenon that, repeated over time, leads to CTE. That’s not something even high-quality helmets can prevent; as Myer points out, the brain’s already got a helmet—the skull. Additional armoring protects against fracture, but does little more. If we could bump up the blood level in athletes’ brains, though, and tighten up their cranial fit, maybe they’d get the bubble-wrap benefit too. To be fair, the underlying theory isn’t a sealed deal. Paleontologist and headbutting-animal expert Andrew Farke doubts that bighorns really are re-breathing their air, and notes that we haven’t done enough testing to prove they and woodpeckers don’t suffer more head trauma than it appears. But assuming the premise is right, how can football players get more blood into the old cranial vasculature? Moving to higher altitude might help: the oxygen-poor environment leads the body to compensate with increased blood flow to the brain, possibly making for a tighter fit in the skull. Myer found that NFL games held in stadiums at 644 feet above sea level and up showed 30 percent less “total concussion incidence.” We can’t play all our football in Denver, though. So what then? Maybe just stop playing football? Don’t be ridiculous, America bellows. OK, then it might be time to put the players in a very gentle chokehold. One device now under FDA review is called the Q-Collar: it applies a bit of woodpecker-hyoid-style pressure to the jugular vein, increasing blood volume in the brain by a single teaspoon—no more than what happens when you yawn, bloodwise, but ideally providing enough cushioning to reduce injury. The collar has shown early promise, though there are understandable concerns about any solution involving chronic vein compression, which can lead to dangerous clotting. If it pans out, though, we might have a rare case where a swollen head is an asset rather than a liability. n

Land of the Leased

BLM auction could change the landscape in Utah’s San Juan and Grand counties. BY RAY HOWZE rhowze@cityweekly.net @rayhowze1

Honey, I Shrunk the Public Lands: During his visit to last month’s Western Hunting & Conservation Expo held at the Salt Palace, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said he’d heard “nefarious arguments about mining and oil and gas” in the Bears Ears area.

| CITY WEEKLY |

MARCH 29, 2018 | 11

says there are now more hoops to jump through to determine who’s who, as seen by the Ayers bidding. “What we have now is a bunch of nobodies that are entirely speculating that they’ll strike it rich and sell it to Exxon on the future,” he says. “If they get a whim to go out and drill a well, BLM has already set itself down that path by issuing that lease.” As for what’s next, groups like Utah Diné Bikéyah are gearing up for the BLM’s plans for the Shasha Jaa’ and Indian Creek Units of Bears Ears. In its statement from last week, the organization called the “scoping phase” of planning “disrespectful to the judicial branch of government and a waste of taxpayer dollars.” While Zinke has previously said he knows of “no oil and gas assets in the Bears Ears” and of “no permit put forward for uranium,” Maryboy says the tribes are still wary, given their history with uranium mining. “People are concerned about uranium in general,” Maryboy says. “Navajos had a lot of experience working in the uranium mines ... most of these people are now gone. One of them is my father. He was blasting into the rocks to bring out more uranium and a lot of Navajos didn’t understand the effects of uranium—there was no ventilation in those mines. I think the white folks knew and stayed out of those mines when the Navajos were down there.” CW

renewable sources, all of which can be developed on public lands.” While it’s hard to say what might happen to the land that’s now leased, the problem, Newell says, is the BLM has lost the ability to stop future development or change its land policy on the parcels since the leases allow for “surface disturbance.” And with the BLM’s online auction format, it can be harder to determine who is bidding on the land. One company—Ayers Energy LLC— won bids on 19 parcels. However, the company does not appear in public registration databases in Utah or Wyoming, its listed address for the auction. According to a report in The Salt Lake Tribune, there are also signs the company could be a “straw buyer,” purchasing the leases for a third party. “Leasing in this area is extremely speculative and that’s evidenced by the fact who bid on the parcels,” Newell says. “If you look at who bid on these leases, they are by large, a collection of nobodies … they gobble up lease parcels but have no track record of ever producing or putting into production the lease parcels.” Some of the companies could be purchasing the leases to appeal to outsiders. Touting how much land they have under lease, Newell says, can attract potential investors. Despite claims from the Interior Department that the online process provides greater transparency, Newell

Maryboy, a board member, who attended the protest, later told City Weekly, he’s worried that if companies proceed with any type of drilling on the land, it would “be devastating to the human population in general.” “This area is full of archaeological sites and native artifacts,” Maryboy says. “I think they’ve [BLM] done the research, but I think it’s the administration that’s pushing them to do this.” The relationship between Zinke, President Donald Trump and the Native American tribes hasn’t been too friendly, either. Tribes opposed the shrinking of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante national monuments last year. As the BLM proceeds with land leases, Maryboy says they won’t give up their fight. “We’ve come to know [Zinke] as being a person with little knowledge, little experience,” Maryboy says. “He seems to be more concerned with enriching himself more than trying to protect the environment and I think the last thing on his agenda is conservation and protection of public lands.” Despite heavy criticism, though, the BLM has defended its decisions, citing energy independence as one deciding factor. “Oil and gas leases sales support domestic energy production and American energy independence,” reads a statement from the agency. “The BLM’s energy program includes an all-ofthe-above approach that includes oil and gas, coal, strategic minerals and

And it did March 20 when the Bureau of Land Management—in a precedentsetting move—auctioned 43 parcels of land in the archaeologically rich region of Southern Utah. The quarterly online auction covered 51,483 acres in San Juan and Grand counties. None of the land offered fell inside the old Bears Ears National Monument boundaries, but a few plots border it. Landon Newell, an attorney with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, says the move is a “pretty considerable change in the direction of the BLM.” Three years ago, the bureau planned to lease the same lands but decided to hold off on the sale to gather more information when it was advised the leasing could result in “adverse effects,” according to reports at the time. “So to avoid that conflict, they deferred leasing so they could make an informed decision,” Newell says. “[Interior Secretary Ryan] Zinke tossed out all those leasing reforms and essentially brought us back full circle to the ‘lease everything, lease everywhere’ approach of the Bush administration—these parcels would likely not have been offered under the Obama BLM.” The sale drew criticism not only from SUWA, but other groups such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Native American tribal representatives, including Utah Diné Bikéyah. “The regrettable decision by the Bureau of Land Management to lease these lands will place highly significant archaeological resources at risk,” Brian Turner, public lands attorney for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said in a statement. “It is also inconsistent with BLM’s decision in 2015 to defer leasing of these parcels because of the considerable degree of unique cultural resources in the area.” Utah Diné Bikéyah held its own protest outside the BLM office in Salt Lake City following the auction.

and no speculation on why she would’ve been crawling toward her home, which was only 300 yards away. Allen says she remembers asking her mother multiple times over the years if anything came from the probe opened by then-Tooele County Sheriff Fay Gillette, and that her mother said no. “Like, why didn’t they do anything, Mom?” Allen remembers asking. “Well,” she recalls her mother replying, “because we’re Native and we’re not a high priority.” Neither the Tooele County Sheriff’s Department nor the FBI have records on Pete’s case and the only thing Allen’s family has had over the years is speculation—maybe her death was an accident, maybe someone beat her up and dumped her there, maybe it was a drunk driver. But the facts remain: No one really knows what happened to Myrtle Bear Pete.

Many Native American families experience the same lack of closure. As highlighted by last year’s inspired-by-true-events thriller Wind River, missing-person statistics are not compiled for Native American women. According to the Centers for Disease Control, homicide is the third-leading cause of death for Native women ages 10-24 and the fourth-leading cause of death for ages 25-34. In some areas in the United States, homicide rates for Native American women are 10 times the national average or higher, with a 2008 National Criminal Justice Reference Service report finding the highest rate of homicide in Bon Homme County, S.D., at a staggering 555.5 per 100,000 Native American women (roughly 59 times the national average at the time data was collected). And even though it’s home to one small 3,000-acre Paiute reservation and a Native American population of just 2.5 percent, Iron County, Utah, had the eighth-highest rate, with 62.7 homicides per 100,000 Native women. The national homicide rate has fallen since the NCJRS report was released, but there is no current information regarding if the decrease has specifically affected Native women. High rates of physical and sexual violence plague Native communities, as well. A 2016 report also conducted by the NCJRS found that more than 84 percent of Native American and Alaska Native women have experienced some sort of violence in their lifetime, and 56 percent have experienced sexual violence. “These are not just numbers. It’s not really about data, it’s about human beings,” Peaceful Advocates for Native Dialog and Organizing Support (PANDOS) Tribal Liaison Cassandra Begay says. “This isn’t just an indigenous issue; it’s a human rights issue.” Begay was moved to start raising awareness about the high rates of violence and homicides committed against Native women and the lack of data resources surrounding missing Native women after a number of tragic events. She began following the horrific story of 8-month-pregnant Dakota/Chippewa woman Savanna Greywind, who disappeared from her Fargo, N.D., apartment in August 2017. After a two-week search, her body was found wrapped in plastic in a nearby river—and it was later

that 30-year-old Pete was found about 25 feet from the road where a large bloodstain marred the snow. She had signs of a broken shoulder, broken arm and possible broken neck, leading Tooele County deputies to hypothesize that she’d been hit by a car. The article also detailed that Pete had abrasions on her arms and mud on her shoes, as if she had been trying to walk or crawl away from the road. “My mom said she looked real beat up,” Allen says. An autopsy summary published in the Trib two days later, however, reported that Pete died of exposure and didn’t have any broken bones. Cuts on her arms and legs, it said, were most likely due to crawling along the frozen ground. And that seems to be where the case ends—no explanation for why there was so much blood near the road, no reasoning for why Pete’s body looked so beaten

It was in February and there was snow—I mean a lot of snow … My mom and grandpa were out there and everyone was screaming and crying,” Pete’s niece and former vice chair of the Skull Valley Band of Goshutes Mary Allen recalls of the day Pete’s body was found. Allen was only a child in February 1967 when her aunt’s body was spotted on the side of Skull Valley Road, just outside the border of the Skull Valley Indian Reservation in Tooele County. Allen didn’t actually see the body, but she remembers the blood in the snow and the sorrow her mother and grandfather carried with them the rest of their lives. “My grandpa would cry all the time missing her,” she says.

On rural reservations, if someone goes missing, it’s common to hear nothing about it. “You don’t really know about things unless you go to the grocery store and run into someone,” says PANDOS Education Chair Rose Yazzie, a Diné elementary teacher. “You only heard about it through word of mouth.” Yazzie now lives in West Valley City, but taught on the Navajo Nation when 11-year-old Ashlynne Mike was abducted and murdered there in 2016. That, Yazzie says, pushed residents into action on social media channels during the search.

Without a Trace

Great Plains in South Dakota told Indian Country Today Media Network in 2016. She referred to the 2015 kidnapping of Edith Chavez, a woman from the Lake Vermilion Indian Reservation in Minnesota who escaped her abductors and wandered around rural North Dakota for two days without food or water before being taken to the police by a local man. When she arrived at the police station, however, officers refused to take her statement and instead did a background check, booking her for an unpaid parking ticket from 2011. Charges were eventually dropped but not before the department released a press release stating that Chavez had smelled of alcohol at the time of booking and had been to a casino, though neither of those events was logged in her arrest notes. “I think what happens is evidence falls through the cracks and there’s a disconnect between tribal police law enforcement … federal government and state jurisdictions,” Begay says. “Often times Native communities don’t come forward about these types of things that are happening in their community because it falls on deaf ears and they feel like no one will help them.” There are a few politicians acknowledging the plight of Native women. After Savanna Greywind’s body was discovered in North Dakota, investigators found her baby alive and well with her neighbors, who tried to pass the child off as their own. The couple was arrested and the trial is ongoing. Greywind’s bizarre case spurred North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp to introduce Savanna’s Act into Congress, which is currently awaiting vote in the Senate. The bill aims to clarify the roles federal, state and tribal governments play in homicide and missing persons cases, provide resources directly to tribal governments, and increase coordination among governments in order to collect data related to missing and murdered indigenous women. It mandates consultations between the attorney general and tribes and requires standardizing response protocols as well as producing annual reports with detailed statistics and suggestions on improving homicide and missing persons rates. Begay is all for this type of legislation, and would like to see it implemented on a local level. “I would like to see accountability on all parts. [Governments] need to be meeting regularly and have a better relationship with each other about these issues,” she says. “That could look like meeting every month to talk about this issue and working together in sort of a partnership to identify the problems on why these rates of violence are so high and identify solutions on what could be preventative measures.” SLC Air Protectors’ Jim would also like to see stronger government intervention, especially on reservations, where she thinks laws and punishments aren’t strong enough. “For one thing, people need to wake up. They need to stay awake and go to the government and start pushing for stricter laws,” she says. “It all comes back to the people. They need to start making noise.”

These dramatic scenes are poignant because they accurately represent the bureaucratic nightmare that is allocation of authority. Unlike the majority of the United States—where jurisdiction is decided by municipal, county or state boundaries—jurisdiction on Indian land is determined by the seriousness of the crime. Tribal police, Bureau of Indian Affairs officers (if a tribe doesn’t have its own police force), the FBI or (in certain states) state law enforcement can investigate a crime committed on a reservation depending on the offense. Most likely, first responders to the scene are tribal police or possibly BIA. These officers can initiate an investigation, but if it’s determined that the crime falls under FBI jurisdiction (for example, homicide), the crime scene has to be maintained by first responders until the agents arrive. A 2007 Amnesty International study found that figuring out whose authority a potential case falls under often leads to slow responses from law enforcement or, possibly, no response at all. When a federal action is warranted, getting the FBI to the scene can take hours, as agents come from urban field offices far removed from reservation lands—the Salt Lake City field office sends agents to areas in Utah, Idaho and Montana. And as anyone who has worked in crime knows, time is of the essence. Offenders could slip away and crime scenes could be disturbed by weather or other external factors, resulting in lost evidence. The No. 1 reason the United States Attorney’s Office declined to move forward with Indian Country prosecutions in 2016 was lack of admissible evidence. Agency authority aside, the rural nature of many reservations and the lack of communication resources to report crimes in the first place prevents authorities from responding in a timely matter. On larger reservations, a tribal officer could be assigned an area of several hundred square miles and smaller reservation departments might only consist of one on-call officer. Tribes are often underfunded and officers ill-equipped and lacking proper training to handle serious crime scenes. FBI agents can be bogged down with case loads, as well. Salt Lake City is one of just four field offices handling approximately 75 percent of all Indian Country cases, equating to hundreds of cases for each office every year. The bureaucratic maze doesn’t end there. Who can prosecute whom for what crime is determined by a number of statutes based on the aforementioned jurisdictional authority and whether the offender and victim are Native American with federally recognized status or non-Native. The 1978 case Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe mandated that tribes have no authority at all over non-Native perpetrators (though the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 provided federally recognized tribes with special criminal jurisdiction in certain domestic-violence cases if their tribal courts meet specific standards). Even if tribal courts can prosecute, federal law prohibits them from sentencing a defendant to more than three years in prison, so tribes will often request outside prosecution. The Feds can also refuse to take cases at all if they feel the crime doesn’t fall under their authority or if it might be resolved through other channels. And if the USAO decides not to move forward with prosecution or terminate an investigation, victims and families rarely get an explanation as to why their cases get closed. The result is a cycle of apathy and under-reporting. “Native women are not often seen as worthy victims. We have to first prove our innocence, that we weren’t drunk or out partying,” Carmen O’Leary, coordinator of the Native Women’s Society of the

“People woke up,” she says. Instead of just spreading the word about the missing girl via neighbors and word of mouth, residents took to Facebook, posting Ashlynne’s picture and live broadcasting the search. Facebook pages and Instagram accounts like @navajonation_missingpersons dedicated to spreading information about current missing persons have popped up around the internet. “I think having things like social media have been huge. They have been so huge,” Yazzie says. “I just think about the ways people responded to Ashlynne Mike … there was immediate help for this family.” Ashlynne Mike’s tragic death brought to light another startling gap in how missing-persons cases are treated in Indian Country: There’s no Amber Alert system. Due to the amount of attention her kidnapping received, Arizona Sen. John McCain sponsored the Ashlynne Mike Amber Alert in Indian Country Act, which would make tribes eligible for Amber Alert grants and help them integrate state and regional systems in their areas. The bill has passed the House and Senate without amendment. Federal law mandates that when a child goes missing, police must file a missing persons report in the FBI’s National Crime Information Center database. But there is no mandate for police to submit reports for adults. Filing with the NCIC requires special access portals, so families can only file themselves if they have access to those portals. Most of the time, though, they rely on police to file for them or contact federal authorities as a courtesy. No official data collection has ever been done on missing Native American women, which is emphasized at the end of Wind River, where the final shot is superimposed with the words: “While missing person statistics are compiled for every other demographic, none exist for Native American women.” Director Taylor Sheridan told Newsweek in July 2017 that he wanted to include specific statistics about missing Native women at the end of the film, but the data just doesn’t exist. “I had two attorneys spend three months trying to get that statistic. But no one knows how many are missing,” he said. Yazzie helps research and compile statistics for the various MMIW committee campaigns, and she also feels the frustration from lack of data. “It was hard trying to find statistics and information,” she says. “It was like I don’t even exist in some of these states. We’re not even on their radar. It was really dehumanizing a little bit.” Which makes it unsurprising that many Native people feel they can only rely on word of mouth and social media to garner attention about their missing loved ones—they might get results faster by spreading information themselves. Even if they go through official channels with tribal police, less than 12 percent of tribes are equipped to share criminal data electronically with other agencies. Yazzie also thinks navigating sovereignty and jurisdiction issues contributes to the reasons why there is no national inquiry. “I think that’s one of the main things that [PANDOS is] trying to do. How do we put policies into place or legislation when it crosses all these things?” she says. “I think that’s one of the reasons there’s not a national database or no way to nationally track it. Some tribes do, some states do, but it’s not consistent.” Begay even suggests providing training for tribal law enforcement so they can be better equipped to handle sensitive evidence and collect statistics accurately. “We need to be tracking the data. At the very minimum, I’d like to see these governments work together to create a database and take a look at why there’s no database,” she says. Linda Jim thinks joining together in their dedication will help strengthen their cause, and that their passion comes from somewhere deeper. “I think we’re being guided by the spirits. How else would we feel so strongly about it?” she says. “We always go back to our ancestors. I think the majority of women who are taking on these issues, they’re driven by that.”

Healing Together

The MMIW committee emphasizes that violence doesn’t just affect Native women and encourages people from all races and genders to join their campaign. “We’re just a bunch of human beings that care about this issue,” Begay says. “Are we experts in this? No, but do we care about other human beings? Do we care about our sisters, our aunties, our mothers? Hell, yes, we care about our neighbors.” The bi-weekly MMIW meetings are attended mostly by women, but the coalition is aiming to incorporate more men into the dialogue. Although the vast majority of Native women who experience sexual and physical violence do so at the hands of non-Native perpetrators, violence between Native men and Native women is a substantial problem in tribal communities. “It’s one of the most painful things to see Native men be violent on Native women,” MMIW visual team member Denae Shanidiin says. “For us, it’s genocide on a whole different level. I’m not sure how to put that into words, but it’s really painful to see.” Shortly after her mother passed away, Mary Allen was confronted by one of her brothers while sorting through her mother’s possessions. “All of the sudden, he came and he hit me … and I could

see it in his eyes that if he had to, he’d kill me,” she recalls. Allen’s other siblings intervened before things got too serious, but she says for many women, there is no coming back from a physical confrontation like that. She says she’d like to see more tribal domestic violence and mental health programs for both women and men: “Sometimes, you never really know what’s going on with the men.” “It’s equally about the men as it is the women,” Shanidiin says, and incorporating the matriarchy many tribes traditionally observe is important. “As women, I think we need to lead the discussion in that,” she continues. “If I’m going to heal, you need to heal with me because I can’t do it alone. I think that’s the conversation that we need to have with Native men.” Many of the committee members believe that outdated and racist imagery in the media has contributed to the sexual and physical exploitation of Native women. “That’s actually the main reason I became a photographer,” MMIW visual team member and Payómkawish artist Alexis Dyer says. “Our image in the media has not been our own since the time of Columbus. Since then, we have been fetishized, sexualized and we’ve become this wild conquerable image in the media. These images that we have never had control over directly affect our bodies. They’re how people see us.” But the committee is also using art and media to reclaim their identity and bring these issues to light. Partnering with Utah County photographer Jonathan Canlas, they’ve started a photo project of intimate portraits of those who have lost loved ones. Their Instagram account @mmiwhoismissing is regularly updated with images of women who want their voices heard, and group photoshoots organized by Dyer and Shanidiin bring together new faces every time. “When we’ve had photoshoots, it’s amazing what happens as these sisters of ours are hearing their stories. They haven’t had space to do that before,” Dyer says. And for those who aren’t ready to talk about their painful experiences, the team wants their art to be a starting point for healing. “We can use art to be a symbol,” Dyer says. “We can’t stick the mic in front of every face of every mother because, for some people, these stories aren’t ready to be out there.” Besides the group’s march at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the MMIW committee has made appearances at events, lectures and powwows across the state. The next powwow, at the University of Utah on April 6 and 7, is specifically dedicated to missing and murdered indigenous women, and organizers encourage attendees to wear red, the color associated with the movement. Both Begay and Shanidiin say they have found a sort of group therapy in the coalition—Shanidiin’s aunt was murdered and her grandmother shot nearly three decades ago on the Navajo Nation. “Once we started this campaign, it’s been equally as painful to be in it as it is healing, and I think those both go hand in hand,” Shanidiin says. “I thought this was something that only happened to my family because I had never heard of this happening to other families. I know so many women now who have lost their women to this kind of violence.” “The more I learned about it, the more prevalent it was even among my own friends,” Begay says. “They never talked about it. My family doesn’t talk about it.” Shanidiin agrees that silence is a barrier to solving the problems facing Native communities. “It happened 30 years ago to my family but it happens every day. It’s crazy,” she says. “That’s why we’re doing this work. It’s time to talk about it.” Even Wind River, the film that has been lauded for bringing highprofile attention to the lack of resources for missing and murdered Native women and that has won several awards including the directing prize of Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival and best film at the American Indian Film Festival, isn’t immune to scandal around the issues it’s trying to address. The film was produced by The Weinstein Co., whose founder, Harvey Weinstein, has been accused of sexual assault and harassment by at least 50 women. For Begay, this reinforces the belief that the issues the MMIW committee are dedicated to are not just indigenous ones. “It’s an epidemic problem across the U.S.” Begay says. “We just hope to see more justice for women who are missing right now and cannot speak for themselves and for those who no longer have a voice.” Mary Allen is now a part-time driver for the Skull Valley tribe, shuttling tribal members back and forth between the reservation and urban areas. She regularly passes the spot where her aunt was found all those years ago. “I would like to know what happened to her … Just to keep that in my mind and in my heart, it’s hard,” she says. “In the white snow, you see the red blood there and you wonder … I just think about it every time I go out. My grandpa passed knowing whoever killed her is either alive or dead—who knows? And he just [said], ‘Well, it’ll get to them someday.’ So that’s how I leave it. But I always remember every time.” Allen doesn’t regularly attend the MMIW meetings but she did participate in the march at Sundance. As the coalition started to pick up steam, she figured maybe it was time to turn a new page regarding her aunt’s death. “I thought … well, I guess it’s time to move on and live,” she says. “My grandpa and mom [are] with her now, wherever they’re at. I guess they know the answers. But I’ll never know.” CW

The Comedy Get Down Tour Back in the day, like-minded musicians often put their solo careers on hold in order to hook up with artists of a similar stature. Those socalled “supergroups” were often more about hype than substance, but the combinations often proved intriguing all the same, and were popular with fans. Today, the supergroup concept is of a comedic kind, as evidenced by The Comedy Get Down tour, a gathering of four famous funny men, any one of whom would be well worth the cost of admission on his own. Cedric the Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, D.L. Hughley and George Lopez are each known individually as supreme masters of mirth with credits that include film, television, sitcoms, standup specials, talk shows, radio programs and bestselling books. Those rich résumés make this a super session similar in its execution to the Original Kings of Comedy tour of the early 2000s, in which Cedric and Hughley played a prominent part. Likewise, Griffin’s participation in the Def Comedy Jam readied him for this particular comedy co-op. It was Lopez, however, who first initiated the idea for this superstar team-up. Desperate to help raise money for a statue of the late Richard Pryor in Pryor’s hometown of Peoria, Ill., he enlisted Cedric, Hughley, Griffin and Charlie Murphy for a November 2014 benefit concert they dubbed “A Night for Richard.” That collaboration, in turn, led to the tour. “After the first night, we said, ‘Hey, we’ve got to do this again,’” Lopez said in an interview with the Boston Globe in 2016. More than three years on, the laughter still lingers. (Lee Zimmerman) The Comedy Get Down @ Maverik Center, 3200 S. Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, March 30, 8 p.m., $35-$85, maverikcenter.com

SATURDAY 3/31

In 2016, many Americans learned for the first time about Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and other African-American “computers”—who were a crucial part of figuring the mathematical computations that got American astronauts safely to the moon and back—thanks to the book and Academy Award-nominated film Hidden Figures. But their story had always been in the background of author Margot Lee Shetterly’s life; her own father worked as an atmospheric research scientist for NASA, and knew Jackson and Johnson socially. It was only after Shetterly’s husband wondered why he’d never heard about these women that Shetterly realized it was a story she needed to tell. Shetterly (pictured) visits the University of Utah this week as part of the keynote presentation for the MUSE [My “U” Signature Experience] project, joined by Ellen Stofan. Stofan worked as Chief Scientist for NASA from 2013 to 2017, advising, and previously held a senior position at NASA’s Jet Propulsion laboratory. Perhaps just as significantly, Stofan has been a vocal advocate for getting people of color and women involved in science and technology careers. Together, Shetterly and Stofan present an opportunity to re-examine the assumption that a scientist means a white guy in a white lab coat. At a moment when we’re grappling with the way institutional structures have held women back in certain professions, it’s important to get a reminder that we need to encourage talent and enthusiasm in STEM careers wherever we find it.

Most of us who grew up in American public schools have had exposure to Shakespeare plays, so it’s still surprising that they can seem so intimidating to so many people. And despite a comedy like Pioneer Theatre Co.’s production of Twelfth Night being lighter than the celebrated Shakespearean tragedies, cast member Kelsey Rainwater—who plays the role of Olivia—believes the comedies can be even more challenging to present to a modern audience. “Shakespeare wrote for his time, and everyone would understand the jokes and the insults,” Rainwater says. “Where we expect a laugh, we might not get one. … We have to really stress antithesis; a change in tone will help a line land. There are so many moments when you need to help the audience, with even a shift in body language.” While the language has certainly changed since late-16th-century England, other more recent cultural changes involving gender identity and gender roles also affect the way an audience might encounter a play like Twelfth Night, which involves the character of Viola disguising herself as a man, and people falling in love with people who are not the gender they appear to be. “In Shakespeare’s time, all the actors were men anyway, so there was a fluidity,” Rainwater says. “A contemporary audience is going to see this differently. It’s something we as a culture are wrestling with, so plays that pose that question—what happens when somebody feels they’re playing a different role than society wants them to play—can lead to interesting questions, and important ones.” (SR) Twelfth Night @ Pioneer Theatre Co., 300 S. 1400 East, 801-581-6961, March 30-April 14, dates and times vary, $25-$49, pioneertheatre.org

TUESDAY 4/3 Riverdance

Yeah, I know. There’s something about Riverdance that has mesmerized the world for more than two decades. Is it the ornate and glittering costumes donned by dozens of dancers? Is it the melodic mix of fiddle, flute and drum? Or is the percussive power the dancers command with every step? With the 20th anniversary world tour of the production visiting Utah, audiences have a chance to judge for themselves why Riverdance still fills venues worldwide. Rooted in the traditional Irish music and dance, the spectacle first premiered during a seven-minute song-and-dance interval during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, an annual, international European-based singing competition. Famous for modernizing centuries-old dance, the show became a breakout success, performing in front of Charles, Prince of Wales within nine months of its first appearance. And it’s continued to dazzle people ever since. The anniversary show is broken up in two sections, each focusing on two eras of Irish history. The first act deals with Ireland’s mythic past, reveling in elemental forces, and celebrating and mourning ancient warriors. Act Two moves away from the fabled ancient past to more recent history, touching on the forces of war, famine and systematic oppression that caused the Irish diaspora. For all of the latter’s focus on hardship and struggle, the show ultimately ends on hope, as it celebrates the blending of new and old customs in new countries, and the powerful lull of home. For the backstory of each of the show’s segments, visit riverdance.com. (Kylee Ehmann) Riverdance @ Eccles Theater, 131 S. Main, 801-355-2787, April 3-8, times vary, $25-$75, live-at-the-eccles.com

Author Gayle Forman emerges from creative paralysis with I Have Lost My Way. BY SCOTT RENSHAW scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

on Forman, who enlisted many readers— including a Pakistani friend, and imams to look at her portrayal of Islam—to be sure she was on the right track as she wrote about characters culturally or religiously different from herself. “They’re all me emotionally,” she says, “but in a lot of ways quite different. It starts with understanding the emotional truth. I connected to [Harun’s] feelings of shame, of feeling that if people knew the real him, they wouldn’t love him.”

can become an affirmation-generating drug. “I wish I could say, because I’m 47 years old, that I’m immune to it,” Forman says. “There’s periods when I’m online, and periods when I completely have to not go there. Those relationships have to transfer to the real world. There’s something limiting about what you can get from a click or a comment.” The real-world connection between Freya, Harun and Nathaniel forms the backbone of I Have Lost My Way, as the three young people seek a sense of acceptance from one another they’re unable to find elsewhere. Forman connects with that idea that “there’s a family that you’re born into, and the family you create. There are all kinds of communities you create to fill the gaps.” For writers, one of those communities comes in the form of other writers; for writers of young-adult fiction—like local authors Allie Condie (Matched) and Sara Zarr (Story of a Girl), who are part of this week’s conversation with Forman at The King’s English—that mutual support might be particularly significant. “When I first started,” Forman recalls, “I had someone read If I Stay who said, ‘That’s really good, you should write for adults.’ Like it was the [minor leagues], waiting to get called up to the majors. [This community of writers understands] the lack of respect, or literary bona fides, like you sat at the kids’ table at Thanksgiving.” Like all artists, they understand having to find your own distinctive voice. Or, in Forman’s case, re-finding it. CW

That theme of wanting love and approval from people who might not be able to give it runs throughout the relationships in I Have Lost My Way, including the way the character of Freya compulsively checks the reactions of her fans on social media. For an author like Forman, part of achieving some degree of fame is finding yourself with 92,000 Twitter followers, and trying to navigate the mine field of an online world that

or most creative people, the dream is always to reach a point where the cliché of the starving artist transforms into the ability to make a living doing what you love. But achieving that kind of success brought with it an unexpected challenge for author Gayle Forman: suddenly wondering if you could do that thing any more. The New York-based writer found success with the 2009 young-adult novel If I Stay, which was subsequently adapted as a 2014 film starring Chloë Grace Moretz. Those intervening years saw Forman publish several more books, but the film adaptation brought with it a new kind of creative pressure. “My breakout book broke out many years later,” Forman says. “I was able to get a little cocky: ‘Look at me, there’s no sophomore slump for me.’” Instead, the added pressure of becoming a “name” contributed to something that Forman describes as different from the commonly understood idea of writer’s block. “It didn’t feel like writer’s block,” Forman says. “I think of that as sitting down and not knowing what to write, which is usually your story’s way of telling you it’s not working. This was different; this was four years since I’d written my last young-adult novel, and trying out seven different novels in that time, and thinking everything I wrote was garbage. I started to get panicky. As somebody who has always used stories to make sense of my world—and now it’s what I support my family with—that was an awful feeling.” The terror of losing your creative voice became part of the inspiration for Forman’s new novel, I Have Lost My Way. It follows three principal characters, all of them teenagers, and one of them a young singer named Freya whose YouTube celebrity is on the verge of becoming full-fledged recording stardom when she abruptly finds herself unable to sing. Her path ultimately crosses in New York City with Harun, a closeted gay Muslim, and Nathaniel, a young man visiting the city for the first time. While Freya’s condition—and the recurring sentence that became the book’s title—came first to Forman, she says that Harun’s character was the one she understood best from the outset. The strangeness of a straight Jewish woman feeling most connected to a gay Muslim man isn’t lost

| CITY WEEKLY |

lthough I barely got to know the Blue Poblano restaurant while it occupied the location that is now home to Yoko Ramen, (473 E. 300 South, 801-8765267, yokoramenslc.com), I’m glad that another team of culinary renegades has kept this classic space alive. Perched conveniently at the corner of 500 East and 300 South, Yoko Ramen is at the nexus of the dinnertime foot traffic

While the ramen bowls contain enough soup for a meal, diners would be remiss to avoid the shareable sides. The gyoza ($7 for pork; $6 for veggie) arrive interconnected by a crispy web of pan-fried dough, and are great primers for the flavors to come. I’ve already mentioned the potato wedges ($5), which could be more accurately described as potato quarters. This traditionally Western addition to a well-rounded Eastern menu is like a love letter to Utah and our affinity for all things potato-based. For those jaunting around downtown while they wait for a show or a movie, Yoko’s mix of great food and urban-friendly aesthetic is a sure crowd pleaser. CW

They offer three variations of ramen, all of which are lovely in their own unique ways. The pork ($12) provides a deep draught of savory tonkotsu broth swimming with noodles, scallions and a beautifully prepared chashu spiral. Tonkotsu ramen is my go-to, and the stuff they’re brewing up here is right on the money. The pork belly’s outer edges are slightly charred, creating a bitter foil for the sweet marinated meat, and the rich broth is as slurpable as they come. On the lighter side of the menu, diners can find chicken ramen ($11) and vegetable ramen ($10), which can also be prepared vegan on request. Yoko prepares its chicken in karaage, or deep-fried, which is a risky move considering its liquid destination. You’d think the ramen broth would seep through the fried chicken to pulverize the crisp outer layer—but you’d be wrong. Through what can only be described as witchcraft, this fried chicken stays crispy and delicious to the very last drop.

homes. Eating a plate of food in a repurposed domicile always conjures up a pleasant haze of ambiguous nostalgia. That, along with the subtly cool inclusion of American movie posters translated into Japanese hanging all over the place, makes Yoko feel like a safe space for hipster geeks of all stripes. I was hooked on Yoko before I even visited, after a picture of their Japanese Cubano ($9) popped up on my Instagram feed. The sandwich did not disappoint—they’ve created a harmonious blend of traditionally prepared chashu pork belly, and thrown trotters and housemade pickles into the mix. The marinated pork belly brings textbook umami flavor while the sharp pickles and piquant mustard shake the senses in a very pleasant way. Of course, it’s foolish to visit a joint with ramen in the title and not try the ramen, so I revisited the spot with a few friends so we could fully experience the breadth of Yoko’s sparsely populated menu.

Don’t balk at Pilsners just because they’re mainstream. BY MIKE RIEDEL comments@cityweekly.net @utahbeer

ne of the perks of my job is having acces to local brewhouses and chatting with the brewers. When asked about their favorite beers, they inevitably mention one style at the top of their list: the Pilsner. I can already sense the eye rolls across City Weekly land. You’re probably asking, “Why Pilsners? They’re so boring!” Believe me, I get where you’re coming from. You likely got into craft beer because it’s not the fizzy yellow stuff dominating grocery-store beer aisles. I’ve been right where you are, but trust me, it just takes the right beer at the right time to sway your opinion.

Bohemian SIMPL (Session India Munich Pale Lager): This very hoppy lager pours a semi-clear gold color with a finger of soapy bright-white head. As you get your sniffer on top of it, you’re met with huge grassy and spicy hops. Now that this herbal bouquet has set the tone for your tongue, you’re immediately met with a huge blast of herbal, grassy and spicy hops upon first swig. After the initial hop shock begins to subside, a subtle tang of citrus begins to emerge. These vastly different bitter tastes play off the mildly sweet toasted grains that work their way out from the background. The finish is firmly dry and steady. Have no doubt that this is still a hop-driven lager, and the Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertauer Blanc hops create an incredibly complex flavor profile that screams “Old World,” with just a bit of the new. Overall: This is another brilliant example of a well-crafted beer that relies on the ingredients to deliver both flavor and body without the crutch of alcohol unnecessarily heating up party. This 4.0 percent ABV lager is available at Bohemian Brewing Co. under their Brewer’s Stache handle.

raw herbal bite as you inhale the aromatics left behind from the popping foam. Once it’s in your mouth, you’re immediately met with that familiar Pilsner smack. Up front, there are moderate flavors of bready biscuit and cereal grain malts, with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Light flavors of lager yeast begin to meld with a healthy dose of grassy, spicy/peppery hops, which impart a slightly heavier amount of bitterness. An ever-so-subtle amount of citrus peel reveals itself at the very end, which slowly fades into the Eurohop bitterness. The hop selection here is a little more traditional; the Proper Brewing team decided to go with a combination of Tettnanger and Saaz hops. This noble hop

combo is a perfect example of what kinds of flavors can arise from classic Europeanstyle hops. Overall: This is a hoppy and flavorful 5.6 percent ABV Pilsner that reveals its noble hops heritage in its taste and aroma. This version of Czech Your Head is slightly modified from its previous incarnation, so it’s worth revisiting even if you’ve tried it before. This is a year-round beer, available now in Proper’s bottle shop. These are two great examples of why people tend to come full circle on their love/ hate relationships with Pilsners. Compare them with the mass-produced stuff. Then I think you’ll understand what Pilsners are really all about. As always, cheers! CW

Alex Jamison and Roxy Carlson have created a vegan Mexican restaurant combining the street-food charm of tacos al pastor with their talent for meatless mimicry. The layers within the short and stout Sin Carne Burrito ($8) are spot on; each bite assembles a good ratio of brown rice, refried beans, pico and seasoned seitan, though I do think the chefs could crank up the spiciness a touch. Curious about plant-based chorizo and fish tacos ($8 for an order of three), I gravitated to the chorizo potato and the Baja tacos. The chorizo potato was more successful, packed with a delicious tofu scramble, and the veggie chorizo performed admirably. While the look of the Baja is a near-perfect representation of a fish taco, the beer-battered tempeh lacked the deep-fried crunch that I was hoping for. The nachos ($10, $12.50 with barbacoa jackfruit) features a plate of excellent toppings—pico, black beans and vegan cheese—but the housemade lime-kissed tortillas provide the thickness needed to excavate each layer. Score yet another victory for Utah’s vegan and vegetarian community—along with those of us who just like good food. Reviewed March 1. 57 E. Gallivan Ave.

FILM REVIEW

I Love the ’80s

CINEMA

Spielberg’s Ready Player One builds on more than just nostalgia. BY SCOTT RENSHAW scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Tye Sheridan in Ready Player One overwhelming in their ubiquity, it’s certainly more engaging to deal with the checklist of references in visual form, rather than hundreds of pages of text. Most of all, there’s the presence of Spielberg behind the camera, diving into fully digital realms like he did in Tintin with a similar reckless energy. Not many directors could make an anarchic auto race sequence or the climactic battle feel like a kid at play, throwing every action figure he owns into the fray. He turns the zero-gravity dance floor of an Oasis night club into a physicsdefying ballet, and even finds room for Mendelsohn to offer a turn on corporate villainy arrogant enough to leave his password on a Post-it note in his virtual chair. The wearying prose of the book, attempting to turn a VH1 I Love the ’80s episode into a sciencefiction procedural, finds its real home on the big screen, thanks to a director who understands that the pop art we all fell in love with was based on creative spark, not just being old enough to nod at an Excalibur quote.

control of the Oasis so that he can monetize it. It’s basically Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory built around weapons-grade nostalgia. One of the most frustrating elements of Cline’s book was how little he seemed to care about the real world of 2045, and the conditions that would inspire people to want to escape it into an anything-goes fantasy world. The film—with a screenplay credited to Cline and Zak Penn—does a better job of giving the story’s reality some significance, including shifting the reveal of the real-world identities of Wade’s online friends to much earlier in the story. There’s a bit of a moral for our perpetuallyconnected society, and it’s a relief to realize that this incarnation of Ready Player One isn’t going to be entirely about its namedropping. That’s not to say that the movie doesn’t drop a whole lot of names, expanding the chronological scope from 1970s Saturday Night Fever to 1990s The Iron Giant. The soundtrack bubbles over with chestnuts from Blondie, Van Halen, New Order and Twisted Sister; one entire central sequence becomes an extended homage to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. And the action sequences turn into the equivalent of a Where’s Waldo page where the central activity practically disappears as you scan the edges of the frame so you can spot a ninja turtle, or Batgirl, or whatever else Spielberg managed to secure the rights to use. While these details begin to grow

o not ask for whom Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One was written; it was written for me. Or if not for me specifically, for someone so like me—a Gen X-er who came of age with 1980s American popular culture—that fine distinctions become irrelevant. Cline’s novel—about a dystopian future of the year 2045 and its omnipresent virtual-reality world in which people spend most of their time controling that universe after the death of its creator—immersed readers in the minutiae of movies, television, pop music, video games, comic books and more to such a degree that virtually nothing else mattered aside from the litany of references. It was like if someone stapled together the answer sheets from an ’80s-themed pub quiz and managed to convince a publisher to give him an advance for it. Thus, the prospect of a film version of Ready Player One should have been deeply concerning—except that it would be directed by Steven Spielberg. And if the director of Jaws and two Jurassic Park features has proven anything over 40 years of filmmaking, it’s that he understands how to take a badly-written book and find the stuff of visually-satisfying adventure. The armature of Cline’s book is still basically in place, focusing on an 18-year-old named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) who is one of many participating in the worldwide contest to find three keys that lead to an “Easter egg” hidden in the virtual world of the Oasis by creator James Halladay (Mark Rylance). As his virtual avatar Parzival, Wade pits his encyclopedic knowledge of pop-culture trivia against other individual players like Art3mis (Olivia Cooke), and the evil IOI corporation led by Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), which is trying to win

NEW THIS WEEK Film release schedules are subject to change. Reviews online at cityweekly.net GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS [not yet reviewed] A pastor deals with the loss of his church in a fire. Opens March 30 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13) HAVE A NICE DAY BBB With slow burns aplenty and a denouement that literally defines “denouement,” Have a Nice Day is a nifty little comic crime thriller. It’s not really that funny (though it does produce smiles), and it’s surprisingly predictable, reminiscent of all those Tarantino rip-offs from the mid-‘90s like 2 Days in the Valley. It’s also vaguely akin to Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave, in that it’s about a bag of money and what becomes of the people who possess it. Make of that what you will. But what’s refreshing is its animation: unpretentious, no flash. The characters are all well drawn (ha), which is a good thing, because we spend beaucoup time with each one as the bag of money makes its way from one set of characters to the next—a group of loosely connected scoundrels in southern China. About that denouement: You’ll probably guess the fate of each of these people before they do, but Have a Nice Day ties things up so handily that it’s kind of a rush. Plus, its brief running time (77 minutes) doesn’t make anything feel too draggy. Opens March 30 at Tower Theatre. (NR)—David Riedel LOVELESS BBB.5 Russian writer/director Andrey Zvyagintsev (Leviathan 2014) digs into the ripple effects of dysfunctional family dynamics in a drama that maintains its power even through a dangerously drama-free final hour. In contemporary Russia, Zhenya (Maryana Spivak) and Boris (Alexey Rozin) are finally about to end their rancorous marriage, but as they’re preparing to move on with their lives, their 12-year-old son, Alyosha (Matvey Novikov), disappears. A huge chunk of the narrative turns into a procedural, as police officials and a civilian search-and-rescue operation methodically look for Alyosha, and it’s hard to disagree with their thoroughness, considering how much of that job we seem to be seeing in real time. But the pressure points here involve both the

antagonism between Zhenya and Boris, and where they fit in a cycle of obliviously self-absorbed parenting that began before them and seems doomed to continue beyond this tragic incident. Bookended with two of the most wrenching images in recent cinema capturing a child’s emotional abandonment, it provides a disturbing portrait of how a child can already be lost even before he vanishes. Opens March 30 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (NR)—Scott Renshaw READY PLAYER ONE BBB.5 See review on p. 29. Opens March 29 at theaters valleywide.

CURRENT RELEASES THE DEATH OF STALIN BBBB Perhaps not since The Great Dictator has a filmmaker taken on such awful personalities and events, while attempting to make us laugh about them. Writer-director Armando Iannucci uses the machinations in the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death in 1953 to expose political muckety-mucks as terrified weasels jockeying for position. He’s adapting the graphic novel by Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin, so the gall is not all his, but the inspired casting—

Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev; Jeffrey Tambor as Stalin’s successor, Georgy Malenkov; Jason Isaacs giving military honcho Georgy Zhukov an over-the-top Yorkshire accent—is. Above all, the absurdity of totalitarianism is mocked—that one man could instill such terror in so many people, and over such petty issues. It’s so tempting to try to connect it to the current deplorable state of politics. Better laugh while we can. (R)—MaryAnn Johanson

MIDNIGHT SUN B.5 Ah, another “teen falling in love while dying beautifully” romance. Eighteen-year-old Katie (Bella Thorne) suffers from xeroderma pigmentosum: She must remain indoors during the day, behind tinted glass. She has pined for Charlie (Patrick Schwarzenegger) from her window for years—until on a rare evening outing for her, they meet. Cute. When it isn’t predictably predictable and predictably sappy, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Charlie has no idea who Katie is; you’d think everyone in town would know the girl who can’t stand the sun. She puts off telling him, so that she doesn’t become just her condition—which is understandable, but you know where it’s going. Twelve-year-olds might find Charlie as dreamy a fantasy boyfriend as Katie does. Cynical grownups will cringe at the platitudes and the cornball. (PG-13)—MAJ

PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING BBB It feels less like a sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 original than it does the liveliest Transformers movie yet. Ten years after the events of the first, scavenger Jake Pentecost (John Boyega)—son of Idris Elba’s heroic Stacker—has to rejoin the forces defending humanity from an extra-dimensional threat. The world-building is thinner here, and the first half is a slog through the throat-clearing and reluctant hero-ing of Jake and his young protégé (Cailee Spaeny). But Boyega and Spaeny are a major upgrade over Charlie Hunnam, providing a decent enough bridge to the reason we’re all here: watching giant things beat the crap out of one another. While this tale isn’t as directly indebted to Toho/Toei features, it brings enough mutated weirdness to the action that the silly sense of fun carries through. (PG-13)—SR

UNSANE BB.5 Steven Soderbergh combines the creepy, grainy intimacy of shooting on an iPhone with conventional psychological thriller elements for the story of Sawyer (Claire Foy), a young woman involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital, who believes one of the orderlies there is a man who has been stalking her for two years (Joshua Leonard). But is he? That question is answered relatively quickly, defusing much of the paranoia. Foy makes for a great prickly protagonist who’s more than a cringing victim, and has a great chemistry with Jay Pharoah as a sympathetic fellow patient. But the script is so packed with themes—women’s words not being taken seriously, post-traumatic stress, toxic capitalism, mental health stigmas—that by the end it feels like they’re being resolved on unrelated parallel tracks. The lo-fi aesthetic could still have used a more finely tuned story. (R)—SR

from The Stooges’ classic 1970 album Funhouse.) “Something you feel, desire/ Back at the wheel again/ Something you feel inside/ Waiting at the back door of my mind,” Edge intones. If Iggy Pop was animalistic, Chrome showed that the machinery of industry, as menacing as it could be, was also an engine of desire. In the ’70s soft-rock era, this stuff was completely foreign to middle-of-the-road ears. Listen to “You’ve Been Duplicated,” also from Half Machine, with its backward masked samples leading into a perversely galloping rhythm, or “Insect Human” (from 1981’s Blood on the Moon), with its disembodied voices in the intro. Try “Pharoah Chromium” (Alien Soundtracks), with Creed’s guitar leads flashing in the twilight like an outer-space Hendrix, and Edge sounding even seedier than New York Dolls-era David Johansen. In the 21st century, the band isn’t so odd—but they remain just alien enough to be compelling. In concert, Chrome combines material from their new releases with old favorites. For a band more than four decades old, covering three distinct eras (Edge/Creed and their individual tenures), and without its founder, there’s hardly a seam in their music. Chrome hasn’t toured much over the past 15 years, so it’s a noteworthy event for anyone interested in challenging, noisy music. “We’re really tight; we sound like the records,” Creed says, adding that he’s left room in the set for weirdness. “There’s an experimental section, where we go off and make wacky sounds, noises and use frequencies of distortion.” In retrospect, it’s apparent that the essence of Chrome is, and maybe always was, the vision of Helios Creed. Chrome turned out to be not only musical visionaries, but culturally prophetic. The dystopia they predicted starting in the ’70s is coming closer to fruition every day. “It’s becoming a machine-based society, with nanobots and clones,” Creed maintains. “We express the idea that the planet is kind of a scary place.” CW

hen seminal San Francisco postpunk band Chrome’s debut album The Visitation (1976, Siren) dropped, it was disorienting, discombobulating and alienating. The initial strains of opening track “How Many Years Too Soon” seemed to emerge from a synthetic fog. The group incorporated themes and sounds of science fiction—grating, sometimes otherworldly noises, and lyrics about living in futuristic dystopias—but their sound wasn’t so foreign that it was completely unfamiliar. The industrial noise was fueled by driving drums and rapid-fire riffs that were critical elements of punk rock. Chrome didn’t fully achieve its trademark sound, however, until founder, singer/multi-instrumentalist Damon Edge was joined by guitarist Helios Creed. Creed’s flying saucer-slash-buzzsaw guitar sound and his songwriting took the band’s futuristic freak show to the nth degree, and burnished Chrome to a high luster. The band’s next two albums—Alien Soundtracks (1977) and Half Machine Lip Moves (1979)—would become Chrome’s best-known efforts. Their partnership lasted until 1983, when Edge relocated to Paris with his wife, singer Fabienne Shine, issuing a number of releases as Chrome while Creed went solo. In the mid-’90s, Edge— having separated from Shine—returned to California. Although he discussed a reunion with Creed, Edge passed away before it could happen. Ultimately, Creed re-formed Chrome, touring and releasing four albums between 1997 and 2002 before returning to his solo career. In 2014, after a 12-year hiatus, Creed reactivated Chrome again, releasing Feel It Like a Scientist (2014, King of Spades) and Techromancy (2017, Cleopatra). The band influenced several generations of industrial and postpunk bands, though they never really fit under a tidy label. You can hear Chrome in artists like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, who were immensely more popular and commercially successful. Numerous other musicians borrowed some of their elements, but none were quite able to replicate Chrome’s surreal nightmare, so mechanistic and macabre, yet spacy and psychedelic. To many ears, they were a head trip gone bad, but to more adventurous listeners, the band provided insidious enjoyment. “We have our own audience of musical outcasts,” Creed explains by phone. “They don’t like average, mainstream music.” But where adherents of industrial music have often incorporated dance clubs, fashion and political activism into their musical interests, Chrome has always remained purely about the music (notwithstanding their social commentary). The typical Chrome listener, if there is such a thing, is an outcast even among outcasts. Chrome is half-machine and half-human, a hybrid that’s intriguing and still incredibly original 41 years after The Visitation. The music is robotic, and often seems borne from the grinding of gears or some bizarre extraterrestrial technology—but it’s always passionate and, at times, angry. Take “T.V. as Eyes,” from Half Machine Lip Moves. The opening guitar scream sounds like a missile soaring into the stratosphere to intercept some interplanetary invader, until it coalesces into a Stooges-like riff. (The song is a not-so-distant cousin of “T.V. Eye,”

Idaho-born, Utah-raised country artist Mark Owens grew up listening to Marty Robbins, Jim Reeves and Little Jimmy Dickens. A desire to emulate his heroes eventually morphed into a 12-year stint touring the western United States to compete against other vocalists. Thanks to his smooth, stout voice—which hits somewhere between George Strait and Mark Collie—Owens won the 2000 Utah ProSing National Singing Contest and the Colgate Country Showdown Competition (which has seen winners such as Billy Ray Cyrus and Miranda Lambert) in Nashville. In 2005, Owens formed the band that performs under his name, and they’ve been a popular draw at The Westerner and toured regionally. But in November, Owens says, he parted ways with his band of 13 years and began writing and recording with a new group of musicians. The new Mark Owens band has a new album locked and loaded, ready for release a month from now, along with a video for the lead single, “Drink ’Em Pretty.” Expect to hear that tune among other originals (like the smokin’ “Ring of Fire & Amazing Grace”), along with a generous helping of covers, at this show. “To give you an idea,” Owens says, “[the covers] might be anything from Jason Aldean to ‘Footloose’ to an AC/DC tune.” The Westerner, 3360 S.

SATURDAY 3/31 Matt and Kim, Twinkids

It was only a matter of time before Kim Schifino, drummer for the relentlessly energetic duo Matt & Kim, hurt herself. After all, the lovebirds go hard during their storied live rave-ups, with Schifino beating the ever-loving proverbial substance out of her modest kit. Sometimes (OK, often) she even leaps from the poor thing—or the stage, as happened just over a year ago at Mexico’s Festival Vaivén. After technical difficulties delayed the show by 30 minutes, she and Matt Johnson ran onstage with max vigor, jumping from their sides of the riser. To avoid landing on a cooling fan, Schifino landed awkwardly, tearing her ACL.

Matt and Kim

Illustrating her adrenaline level (and drive and work ethic and gratitude to her fans), Schifino, after rolling around and clutching her knee, got up and played five songs before deciding to see a doctor. So that irrepressible ebullience in their simple poppunk/hip-hop ditties? It’s the real deal. After canceling the rest of their tour, the couple hunkered down in the wake of Schifino’s surgery to write and record Almost Everyday (Fader), which they’ve called therapeutic, personal and exciting—because, Johnson says in a YouTube video, “It’s so fuckin’ real.” Due in May, it features contributions from Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Santigold, King Tuff and more. Obviously, they’re back on the road, and no doubt reconsidering risky leaps—but going hard nonetheless. The Depot, 400 W. South Temple, 8 p.m., $25 presale; $27 day of show, all ages, depotslc.com

The Goddamn Gallows

The Goddamn Gallows, Koffin Kats, Against the Grain, Spooky DeVille

If you speak fluent hyperbole, Facebook “about” page word clouds tell you a lot about a band. They’re like job search/therapy couch free-associations, to which Detroitbred punk-metal-bluegrass band The Goddamn Gallows responds: “Waffle House, weed, Jameson Irish Whiskey, European coffee, making nightly sex lists, Cee-Lo, Coast 2 Coast.” Let’s analyze that. Waffles, weed and whiskey aren’t terribly telling; some folks call that breakfast—and that probably explains the Euro-coffee. But what’s a nightly sex list? A record of debauchery intended, or transpired? How does soul-funk artist CeeLo factor in? And which Coast 2 Coast are we talkin’ about: Space Ghost or Art Bell? We also have to consider the 3:1 Satan-toJesus reference ratio elsewhere on the page, as well as a claim of gender neutrality (preferring the “it” pronoun). Plus the horror, humor and comic-book references in their songs—“Shitwish” from current album The Trial covers the first two; “Saint O’ Killers” from their 2007 debut Gutterbilly Blues is a reference to Preacher.

hyperbolic word clouds, this is an F5 on the Fujita scale—which is just about right for the musical cyclone that Mikey Classic (guitar, vocals), Fishgutzzz (bass, shouts), Baby Genius (drums, screams), TV’s Avery (washboard, accordion) and Jayke Orvis (mandolin, banjo, vocals, screams) create. They It stirs all of the above into a ridiculously amusing dust devil of classic punk and metal along with the best elements of acoustic Americana.

WEDNESDAY 4/4 Phoebe Bridgers

Everyone loves a wunderkind, those bright young talents who appear seemingly out of nowhere to enchant us with songs straight from their ironically old souls. Los Angelesbased singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers released her debut full-length Stranger in the Alps (Dead Oceans) last year at the tender age of 23. Before that, she had a single, “Killer,” produced by Ryan Adams (and issued on his PAX AM label), who has called her a “musical unicorn” and compared her to Bob Dylan. She has other noteworthy admirers, like John Doe and Conor Oberst, who sing on the album, along with a growing stack of glowing press raves touting her songwriting, lyrical candor, acerbic wit and taste. Speaking of taste, Bridgers covers Mark Kozelek’s “You Missed My Heart” on the album, which is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 cred points. Factor in her appreciation for Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits, and how she mourns both David Bowie and Lemmy in one tune (“Smoke Signals”), and she’s bucking for the high score. She’s also been mopping up fans, opening for the likes of the Violent Femmes, The War on Drugs and Cat Power. Six of the 26 shows on her tour are already sold out, so take this chance to see her at Kilby while you can. Kilby Court, 741 S. 330 West, 7 p.m., $12, all ages, kilbycourt.com

GROOVE TUESDAYS

In terms of local music, danceable pop-rock is typically Provo’s domain—but Strange Familia calls Salt Lake City home. Musically, however, they’re still neighbors to the likes of Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons—though Strange Familia’s percolating pop tunes share more DNA with non-local acts like ’80s-inspired pop-rock group Walk the Moon, with a few strands contributed by electro-singer-songwriter Nick Murphy (Chet Faker). The trio’s eponymous debut album, incidentally, was produced by Scott Wiley of Provo’s June Audio (Neon Trees, Fictionist, The Lower Lights). It’s been out for close to a year now, and the single “Odes” has already made a splash on Viral Top 50 charts from both Billboard and Spotify. There are easily another four singles (like the funky “Ms. Badblood,” and the jaunty “Love/ Drugs”) among the album’s other 10 tracks, too, so it’s only a matter of time before the trio is less strange and more familiar outside of our borders. Joining them on this bill, presented by K-UTE Radio, are two other bands with a shot at national renown: once-local alternative rockers Grey Fiction (they’re based in Portland now) and atmospheric indie rock quartet Small Lake City.

Melissa Peterson and Sam Smith

THE YES HELL

The new place occupying the old site of D&R Spirits in Ogden is called The Yes Hell. But the most visible word on the bar/restaurant’s façade—spelled in red caps and lightbulbs—is “YES.” The word reverberates in my head as I survey the interior of the joint that local singer-songwriter Sam Smith (Samuel Smith Band, Pig Eon) and his partner Melissa Peterson opened earlier this year. It’s clean and inviting, suitable for lone wolves seeking a quiet beer, close friends eyeing an extended conversation over lunch or—at night, when some of Utah’s top local bands perform on the spacious front-window stage—a posse looking to party. I know to expect a conversation with Smith, a skilled raconteur who’s only a few months home from a journey that took him through Denver, Brooklyn, Thailand, Vienna and back here to open The Yes Hell. He talks excitedly about how well things are going since the doors opened, then summons a feast of artichoke hearts, chicken pesto pasta, a cheeseburger with a huge pile of seasoned fries, Caprese salad and truly incredible dry-rub chicken wings. When it arrives, Peterson, herself looking sharp in a white pantsuit and fedora, joins us. I learn she was with him for much of the trip—and it was her idea. They met at one of Smith’s shows, shortly after Peterson’s husband passed away. On a whim, she asked Smith to accompany her on a cross-country trip to scatter ashes. After agreeing not to seduce or kill each other, they hit the road and became best friends along the way. It’s more story than there’s room for in this column. But stop by The Yes Hell and, when you see them, ask to hear it. I guarantee that you’ll leave inspired and ready to say yes to life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-ityourself space flight by tying a thousand helium balloons to your lawn chair. April fools! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Finnish word kalsarikännit means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and bingeing on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate. Be ambitionless.” April fools! I told a halftruth. In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and bingeing on guilty pleasures in your underwear. But there’s no need to get drunk. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actor Gary Busey is very sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie Quigley, in which his character Archie visits heaven. Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor. I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini. April fools! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on expressing your high standards. Don’t back down! But on the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. April fools! I fibbed a little. I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties. But I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you. You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she messed you up. April fools! Everything I just said was ridiculous and false. The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Color Purple. She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience. But some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says that one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemi- of how crazy you really are. April fools! I half-lied. While it’s true cal potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, that now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventionmix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredi- al and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on whacko. ents: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom and worm’s blood. April fools! I mixed a lie in with a PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): truth. It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your Warning! Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case ancient wounds. But the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on of cherophobia! And what exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experia quest for the real cure. ences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive development. April fools! I lied. The truth is that you are curgifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to rently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted than you’ve been in a long time. There’s less than a one-percent waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re blessed with a solid gold chance you will fall victim to cherophobia.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Paul McCartney likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers. I think you might need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored with your own beauty and magnificence. You really do need to come down to Earth and hang out more with us little people. April fools! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory; to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle; to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army. But a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, like “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio. Has Nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the Supreme Boss! April fools! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a Higher Power, however you define that. What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, eedle-doddles are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an eedle-doddle. April fools! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so wellprimed to respond vigorously and bravely to Big Magic Moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of Carpe Diem.

bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an auditorium for a party in your honor. April fools! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods. (For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; ask for them!)

Happy Trails

I love taking new clients up to the Capitol to show them the view of the entire Salt Lake Valley. You have to admit, it’s a breathtaking vista (when there’s no smog/inversion). Our bowl of a valley used to be a prehistoric lake that dried up a bazillion years ago, with only the dregs (aka Great Salt Lake) left today. What’s super cool is that you can see the ancient Bonneville shoreline all the way around the foothills, from the Wasatch range to the east and the Oquirrh range to the west. And if you walk that trail and pay attention, you can find fossils of long-gone trilobites, flora and fauna. I have found several groovy rocks by the concrete U above the University of Utah. For some time, residents have been working with city and county officials to complete the Bonneville Shoreline Trail along the east bench. This ambitious trail will one day stretch more than 280 miles from the Idaho border to Nephi (go to bonnevilleshorelinetrail.org to see the full map and proposed works). Trails like this improve life in so many ways and, frankly, add to property values. And recreationists want easy access to them. According to a December 2017 press release from the Salt Lake City Trails & Natural Lands program, “There are nearly 100 miles of ‘trails’ in the Salt Lake City foothills, all of which will be considered by a proposed Foothill Trail System Plan. Of all these trails, only the Bonneville Shoreline Trail was professionally constructed with the intent of non-motorized recreation.” Many existing trails in the foothills are unsustainable due to steep grades, widespread soil erosion and costly maintenance challenges. Trailhead, wayfinding and regulatory signage is virtually absent. Lack of coherent trail design has created a system of trails that is unapproachable to many entry-level trail users, and that becomes increasingly prone to user-conflicts as use increases,” the release continues. “Once approved, the Foothill Trail System Plan will mitigate user confusion, promote connectivity with the city’s alternative transportation networks, and minimize environmental issues (including challenges in protected watershed areas).” The 10-year timeline for the project will apply to the benches between Emigration Canyon and the southern boundary of Davis County. If you want more information on the Foothill Trail System, there’s a public meeting coming up at the Sweet Branch Library on April 2 from 6-8 p.m. You can also see details at slcgov.com/trailsplan. n Content is prepared expressly for Community and is not endorsed by City Weekly staff.

Poets Corner Work

in the scarlet summer sun, here is a lazy pig who squeals of stress for the piglet sucking the teet with little teeth sharpened on the grindstone of abandonment as the papa boar trots the daily march, valiant in his duties for the bacon to be cut from his own hide. but why shouldn’t the mother worry for the honor of love or listless ambivalence in the face of sheer cataclysmic snot? stuffing the snout so long and deep now she can’t tell if it’s blood or rust.

News That Sounds Like a Joke Wait times at emergency rooms are notoriously long, and Danny Konieczny’s experience was no different on March 6 at The Villages Hospital in The Villages, Fla. The Lady Lake resident, 61, was at home earlier in the day when a neighbor called 911 to report Konieczny was drunk and suicidal. According to WOFL TV, first responders took him to the hospital, where he waited for two hours to see a doctor before getting exasperated and stealing an ambulance to drive home. Konieczny parked the ambulance in the driveway of the neighbor he thought had called the police about him, and when Lake County Sheriff’s investigators tracked him down, they found Konieczny curled up in the trunk of his own car in his garage. Konieczny was put on no-bond status because he is still on probation from a 2017 drunk driving charge. An Escalating Situation Things went from bad to worse for 30-year-old Isaac Bonsu on March 6 when he was charged in Alexandria, Va., with felony hit-and-run involving an unlikely victim. Fairfax County Police pulled Bonsu over for an equipment violation, but he apparently forgot to put it in “park” before exiting the vehicle. Bonsu can be seen on police dashcam video running in front of the car and then being struck by it. Unhurt, Bonsu jumped up and kept running, but police were able to catch him. The Associated Press reported that Bonsu was charged with driving while intoxicated (his third) and possessing marijuana along with the hit-and-run.

The Litigious Society Neldin Molina of Denver is dragging Hamburger Mary’s restaurant in Tampa, Fla., to court with a $1.5 million lawsuit alleging she was injured there by a drag queen’s breasts. According to WESH TV, Molina was visiting the restaurant in May 2015 with friends and family when a drag show began. Molina said drag queen Amanda D’Hod pointed at her and began to approach her, but Molina turned her back to signal she didn’t want to participate in the show. The suit, filed in early March, alleges that D’Hod then walked in front of Molina, grabbed her head and shook it, pounding it violently against the performer’s fake breasts. The complaint said Molina began to experience headaches and neck pain and later went to the emergency room at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. The lawsuit also notes the restaurant failed to notify patrons of possible danger from the drag show. Oops! The Carelse family of Lakewood, Colo., picked up some groceries at the Walmart in Littleton on March 5, including a box of Quaker 100 Percent Natural Granola with oats, honey and raisins. When they sat down for breakfast the next morning, they told KMGH TV, Anthea Carelse noticed that the “best by” date on the box was Feb. 22, 1997—more than 21 years ago. Her husband, Josiah, ate his full bowl and didn’t suffer any unpleasant consequences, but Anthea stopped after two bites. Josiah planned to return the box to Walmart.

Wait, What? An unnamed Russian woman stunned tourists and onlookers March 10 when she walked into the Red Sea and, with the help of a doctor and her partner, gave birth. From the balcony of her uncle’s apartment in Dahab, Egypt, Hadia Hosny El Said photographed the events, as the doctor carried the newborn and its father walked alongside with the still-attached placenta in a plastic bowl. After a few minutes, the mother emerged from the sea to join her family, including a toddler, on the beach. El Said told The Daily Mail the doctor is Russian and specializes in water births.

The Stuff of Nightmares Kayaker Sue Spector, 77, was out for a leisurely paddle on the Braden River in Florida with her husband and friends on March 4 when someone remarked, “Oh look, there’s an otter.” No sooner had the words been spoken than the mammal with a playful reputation jumped onto Spector in her kayak and began clawing and scratching her arms, nose and ear. “He wouldn’t let go and I kept screaming. I kept beating him with a paddle,” Spector told FOX13 News. She later required stitches, antibiotics and rabies treatment. It was the second otter attack in two days, and Florida Fish and Wildlife has now posted signs about the “aggressive otter” near the area.

Least Competent Criminal On March 12 in Northumberland, England, a car thief making a getaway in a Mini Cooper S discovered the small car was not small enough to navigate a narrow stone staircase in Carlisle Park. Northumbria police were called to the park around 11:30 p.m. where they found the car and its unnamed 31-year-old driver both wedged tightly between the staircase walls. Area residents speculated to Metro News that the driver might have been trying to re-enact a scene from The Italian Job, a 1969 movie. “I’m sure the older Minis would have got down no problem,” said Chris Stoker.

Toot Your Own Horn March 3 was a big day in Key West, Fla., as competitors sounded off in the 56th Annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest. For 70-year-old Mary Lou Smith of Panama City Beach, winning the women’s division was topped only by a marriage proposal (which she accepted with a hearty honk from her shell) from fellow competitor Rick Race, 73, also of Panama City Beach. The Guardian reports that the large shells were used in the 19th century by seafarers as signaling devices, and dozens of entrants show off their skills each year at Key West’s Oldest House Museum.

n It might not be the oldest ever found, but the message in a bottle found by 12-year-old Joseph Vallis of Sandys Parish, Bermuda, certainly traveled an impressive distance—more than 1,000 miles. The Royal Gazette reported that Vallis and his Warwick Academy class were picking up trash around Bailey’s Bay on March 10 when he came across a green bottle with a plastic bag inside. He and his father, Boyd, uncorked the bottle and found a note dated April 2014 that had been set adrift from a French sailing yacht crossing the Atlantic. The note included an email address and invitation to contact the authors, but as of press time, the Vallises were still awaiting a response.

Awesome! Environmentalists decry all the debris washing up on beaches around the world, but a discovery in January near Perth, Australia, has historians thrilled. The Washington Post reported that Tonya Illman and a friend were walking along the beach when she spotted “a lovely old bottle.” Inside was a damp note, tied with string. “We took it home and dried it out ... and it was a printed form, in German, with very faint German handwriting on it,” she said. Experts at the Western Australia Museum have determined the note was 132 years old—24 years older than the previous record for a message in a bottle. The note was dated June 12, 1886, from a ship named Paula. Further study revealed that a German Naval Observatory program was analyzing global ocean currents in the area between 1864 and 1933, and an entry in the Paula’s captain’s journal made note of the bottle being tossed overboard. Thousands of other bottles were released into the sea as part of the program, and only 662 have been returned. The last one discovered was in January 1934.
