Very nicely written column John. Like you I’m biased in support of medical cannabis— passionately biased. Many of our common friends have struggled and lost the battle with opioids. Had they been able to utilize this all-natural relief to the issues they were experiencing, we would still have them in our lives.

LYNN LARSEN

Via CW comments John, this may not be the best you’ve written, but it’s up there close, powerful, spot on, and ought to hit home with every parent, brother, sister, son or daughter in the state. They either know someone, or will, that this God-given plant could help. (And I don’t even like pot.)

People should vote yes for Prop 2 in the coming elections. We should not be afraid of the use of marijuana for medical reasons. The medical use would be allowed under a doctor’s supervision, it’s not gonna be given to people at random. How come we will not accept medical marijuana, but will still use prescription pain relievers, which are in the opioids class, and as everyone knows, there is an opioid crisis. Many people would still argue that there is not enough information or tests done to prove that it works, but how will we ever know if we can’t even use it? There are some benefits to medical marijuana such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, reduced anxiety and it could kill cancer cells. The cannabinoids that have medical interests are THC and

CBD. THC is what causes reduced nausea, muscle spasms and decreased pain and inflammation. CBD isn’t intoxicating, it can do what THC can, and might also help treat mental illnesses and addiction. There is actually CBDbased liquid medication that is approved by the FDA. It’s called Epidiolex, it helps treat Dravet Syndrome and LennoxGastaut Syndrome, two forms of severe childhood epilepsy. More treatments are needed on humans, but studies on animals have shown that extracts from marijuana may help kill certain cancer cells and slow the growth from one of the worst cancer tumors, and when THC and CBD were used with radiation, the cancer killing effects increased. Personally, this does not have an effect in my life, but it does in all those people whose lives could change with the use of medical marijuana. Those who suffer from seizures and muscles spasms could have a chance at a more calming life.

News, Oct. 11, “One Man’s Trash”

Nobody is happy, except the city who just keeps trying to cut services and raise taxes. And to try to claim—with absolutely zero data to back it up—that this new system will somehow cut down on illegal dumping is either a joke or an

insult. By continuously tightening restriction on what can and can’t be picked up—and making it more cumbersome to have heavy trash picked up—the city is in fact increasing the likelihood of illegal dumping. But this certainly isn’t the first time a government agency has tried to spin a negative into a positive.

JARED LEE

Via Facebook I am very happy with the new program. I recently had a pickup and it worked out perfectly. I love that I can schedule year round and that I don’t have to clean out my garage when the city decides to have a pickup. They were clear on what needed to be separated out or boxed. It was easy and efficient. I would, and will, recommend this service.

OPINION Pompeo and the Saudi Crown Prince

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaking to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman: Hey, good buddy, how are you and the wives doing? Prince: Actually, it hasn’t been a very good couple of weeks for any of us. The hubbub over Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance is really a royal—excuse the double entendre—pain in the ass. We’ve tried to be totally transparent—making it crystal-clear that he left our consulate in Istanbul only minutes after obtaining his marriage documents. Yet, too many people are stuck with the notion that there must be James Bond-style international intrigue. So any fingers or heads discovered at our consulate would be fake news; same for the 15 tourists with bone saws. Pompeo: (laughing) Yeah, people can’t get excited about anything that simple. But, my friend, there is that problem of the rolling security cameras, and that’s going to have to be dealt with. Prince: Oh, yes, I know. There should have been security camera evidence of Khashoggi leaving, but my people have found a five-minute pause in coverage that was caused by a computer glitch. Obviously, he left the embassy during that unfortunate gap. Oh, how I wish the system had functioned properly. Pompeo: Well, my friend, before we get down to the nitty gritty, I’d like to assure you that President Trump has the highest respect for you and the royal family, and he’s

BY MICHAEL S. ROBINSON SR. authorized me to cut you a deal—one that would ensure no evidence will be found that implicates your government. For only 1 percent of our next arms deal—deposited, of course, in a numbered Swiss account—Donald has agreed to be the fixer. (Of course, you can never mention any money changing hands. It would surely make you look bad, since Donald is known for his honesty and would categorically deny it.) By the way, we’ve set up a GoFundMe website to help him pay his $500 million in inheritance taxes. Prince: What can I say; I really love that man. You know, he and I think very much alike. Neither of us gets our noses bent out of shape by the mere disappearance of one, insignificant journalist. I know a lot of people worshipped Jamal, but whoever killed him did us all a favor. Good governments can’t survive if the press is allowed to speak freely, and Khashoggi was making me very upset. It is probably only a happy coincidence that some rogue killer or common mugger might have taken his life. Pompeo: Yessir! You nailed that one. Truthful journalists are a scourge that need to be dealt with, and Trump is fully aware that people like Khashoggi need to be stopped. If you’d be interested, our own Fox News is at your disposal to help you bury vicious attacks from unauthorized sources. As you know, the system works so well for us; we’d like to share our best resources with our friends. Additionally, the president has offered to lend you Sarah Huckabee Sanders until this furor is appropriately swept under a (Turkish) rug. Prince: Glad you see it that way, but I guess we’re going to have to come up with a plan to derail the possibility of a credible investigation. Could we borrow a couple of your best filmmakers to launch an effective public relations ploy?

Pompeo: Well, you know, most U.S. filmmakers are Democrats and won’t want to come out on the side of stateauthorized killings, so I think we’ll have to consult the Russians. Sorry, I noticed you frowned during my last sentence, and rightly so. I seem to have had a temporary lapse in my dishonesty, and that’s a real no-no. Prince: No problem; we all make an occasional mistake. By the way, has Trump said anything about trading Melania for the oil well? He seemed pretty hot on the idea last time we talked. You know, I’ve had a fixation on her ever since our little romp when she worked for that escort service in Italy. Sure, it’s a long time ago, but I drool every time I see her on TV. Pompeo: I’ve never heard about that one, buddy, but I know Donald’s been unhappy that she doesn’t have a high IQ like his. He lamented to me just a day ago, “I want a wife that can offer me more than looks; Melania’s a total failure when it comes to interesting conversation. She hasn’t even mastered the simple sentence I told her to memorize: ‘Donald, you’re so hot and so incredibly intelligent.’ She’ll never learn it because she’s too busy changing her facial expressions in the mirror. I like smart women, and frankly, I’d rather be married to Sarah or Kellyanne.” And that’s pretty much verbatim. Prince: Well, remind Donald about it when you see him. But, Mike, the most pressing issue is the arms deal. How can we kill off Yemeni families, if we don’t have U.S. aircraft and bombs? Pompeo: I guess we’ve covered it all. You’ll have your arms, Melania and vindication in the Khashoggi matter. You know your part. Let’s shake on it. (They shake hands and meeting is adjourned.)

GRIDLOCK RULES

Remember Evan McMullin and his quixotic run for president of the United States? Now you’re wondering why everyone in the country didn’t vote for him, aren’t you? Well, he’s baaack! McMullin apparently persuaded two former congressmen—one from the left and one from the right—to join him for Why Gridlock Rules Washington to discuss the dysfunction in our nation’s capital, and what the hell we can do about it. You’ll hear McMullin, of course, and former Republican Rep. David Jolly and former Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy. “Should be an entertaining, frustrating and illuminating conversation,” McMullin wrote on his Facebook page.

CALL FOR PROP 3

You might have noticed that support for Medicaid Expansion in Utah—aka Proposition 3—has been growing. Still, it’s not over till it’s over. You can have an impact and help undecideds conclude that Prop 3 is the right thing to do. All you have to do is pick up a phone and call people. The Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity has been doing it already, firing up the opposition with talk of bankruptcy and pulling people up by their bootstraps. Phone Banking for Prop 3 provides scripts, talking points, training and pizza and “phone banking bingo.” You can stay as long as you like, a few minutes or a few hours.

HITS&MISSES BY KATHARINE BIELE @kathybiele

Radioactive Dollar Signs

Utah might always be in the running for toxic waste capital of the U.S. And, yes, it’s really about money, not the health and safety of the populace. A recent story from the Utah Investigative Journalism Project went back to the White Mesa uranium mill, which the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe profits from. Never mind contaminated water, toxic dust and the unknown health challenges. Multimillion-dollar lawsuits don’t seem to deter mill developers, perhaps because the dollar signs in their eyes are more appealing. Meanwhile, the Utah Waste Management and Radiation Control Board is considering—again—whether to allow truckloads of depleted uranium into the state. “Should one company’s desire for a short-term windfall outweigh our responsibility to future generations?” asks Scott Williams in a Salt Lake Tribune op-ed. Only if you care.

Murky Waters

Carl Albrecht is worried—at least he thinks he’s worried. But that kind of imagination game can result in legislation, and then the law gets murkier and murkier. We’re talking about water and water law, arguably one of the most complex issues we face. Lawmakers are looking at a Lake Powell Pipeline diverting water from the Colorado River. You know, it’s easier than conservation. But on the local level, you have municipalities fighting to retain control of their drinking water and on another level, recreational waters. And then there’s Albrecht, Republican representative from Richfield. “I guess I have concerns about an overzealous municipality or city council,” he said in a Deseret News story. He has deeply felt concerns about not being able to boat on a reservoir—not so much being able to drink the water.

The People’s Uprising

Absent the church, formerly known as Mormon, coming out against Medicaid expansion, it looks like support for the ballot measure is growing. This despite efforts from the right-wing to scare people into thinking we’re all going to go broke. That’s what the Sutherland Institute wants you to believe. And House Speaker Greg Hughes loves the scare tactics. You know, he’d rather spend money on lawsuits for a coal pipeline from Utah and, oh yeah, that Trojan horse called the Inland Port. Instead, we’re supposed to worry about the long-term costs of Medicaid expansion. The Utah Chapter of Americans for Prosperity is hitting the phone banks, telling cowed Republicans that their taxes will be going up and these vulnerable sick people won’t get help anyway. The people will speak and likely pass the initiative. Then, they’ll have to fight the Legislature as it tries to repeal the measure.

Rocking to Vote

Will young Utahns cast a significant number of votes, or will they follow historical precedent and sit midterms out? BY KELAN LYONS klyons@cityweekly.net @kelan_lyons

n a news conference on election security last month, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox told reporters that his office expects to see a higher-than-normal turnout for the Nov. 6 midterm election, thanks to an expanded vote-by-mail program, a tight congressional race between Mia Love and Ben McAdams, an array of controversial ballot initiatives and, of course, the opportunity to rebuke or reward President Donald Trump for his contentious policies. It’s clear, Cox suggested, that Utah could see a healthy number of ballots cast in the midterms. What’s less clear is whether the kids will turn out to vote. The state doesn’t break down its voter registration or turnout data by age, but national statistics show that young voters between ages 18 and 29 make up the majority of the electorate, yet cast ballots in midterm elections at lower rates than older generations. Morgan Lyon Cotti, associate director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics, says those numbers aren’t unique to millennials. Baby Boomers and members of the Silent Generation voted at the same rates when they were in their late teens and 20s. “No matter who is the youngest group at the point in history we are in, those are the groups that turn out the least,” she says. Cotti cites a handful of reasons for the low turnout among young voters. For one, they generally move more than those who are older and established in their careers. They might not feel a sense of connection to a district or state they know they’ll be leaving in a few months or years. And there are the logistical issues that need to be overcome before participating in an election. “There’s always a cost to vote,” Cotti says. “Not the actual money cost, but figuring out how to register, what the deadlines are; you have to have a pretty significant amount of information to vote, and that can be difficult if you’re a young person living in a new place.” There’s also a chicken-or-the-egg dilemma. Many young people don’t

ELECTIONS participate in the political process, but maybe, high school senior Jeniel Zimmerman suggests, that’s because most politicos don’t take the time to engage with them. Do candidates ignore younger people because they don’t vote? Or do young people not vote because aspiring lawmakers don’t take them seriously? “It’s a lot of that misunderstanding, where people say, ‘Oh, well, they don’t get it, so we don’t need to worry about them,’” the Mountain View High School student says. “A lot of times, youth don’t really feel like their voice matters.” This year’s midterm election might see higher turnout rates among millennial and Gen Z voters. The Democratic polling firm TargetSmart reports a nationwide uptick in youth voter registration in key midterm battleground states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. The Beehive State’s youth voter registration didn’t see a similar surge in the TargetSmart analysis, but Matthew Burbank, associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Utah, suggests the state’s turnout among young voters could be higher than normal. He says young people might want to have a say in the ballot initiative that would legalize medical cannabis for people suffering from chronic pain or illnesses. “It’s an issue that means something to them and means something to a lot of people that they know,” Burbank explains. Zimmerman is a member of March For Our Lives (MFOL) Utah, the local chapter of a nationwide movement founded by teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting. The group has held voter-registration drives in high schools across the state, registering and pre-registering more than 500 students and faculty members since August. Valeria Jimenez, a politically active 22-year-old vice president of the Utah chapter of Voto Latino, has seen a lot of enthusiasm among the high school and college students she has helped register. But that’s only half the battle. “It’s one thing to register to vote, and another thing to vote,” she says. It’s a problem Zimmerman can see coming, too, which is why MFOL Utah is hosting events in the run-up to Nov. 6, including a rally on the eve of Election Day, to keep young people motivated and make sure they turn out. “People need to vote, and young people need to vote,” she says. This political era could do more than inspire higher turnout among young citizens—it could also change the qualities they look for when deciding whom to send to office. “For every generation there are major moments that really shape how that generation views politics,” Cotti says. For Boomers, Vietnam and Watergate defined how many peo-

High school student Jeniel Zimmerman says she’s pushing back against the idea that her peers can’t affect change. That way, “They don’t have to sit and think, ‘Well, this sucks, but I can’t do anything about it,’ because they can and they should.” ple judged military intervention and elected officials’ trustworthiness. For newer generations, the causticness of the 2016 election could be a sticking point in their political identities. “Perhaps they’ll entrench in those political beliefs, but we’re seeing many young voters are not identifying with a party,” Cotti says. That’s what Alan Monsen is seeing on the campaign trail, too. Monsen is a 34-year-old small business owner who is running on the Republican ticket for State Senate District 4 because he thinks the incumbent, Jani Iwamoto, votes too much along party lines. He says the majority of people between the ages of 18 and 34 he’s talked with are unaffiliated with a party and are enthusiastic about candidates who govern for the people, not for Republicans or Democrats. Put another way, Monsen thinks polarization could drive people to the polls. “This is the first time I’ve seen where even those who are complacent are willing to vote,” he says.

MFOL Utah is nonpartisan. The students meet with legislators regardless of their political affiliation, Zimmerman says. What matters is a willingness to get something done, not lawmakers’ political purity. “Even if our views don’t entirely line up, we’re trying to find people that are willing to listen and bridge this polarized, partisan gap that has been created over time,” she says. “It’s frustrating when nothing can happen because people are just fighting and fighting and fighting,” Zimmerman adds. “If we’re just going to argue the entire time, then nothing’s going to happen, and the problem will get worse no matter what.” Despite her passion and registration efforts, Zimmerman can’t cast a ballot on Nov. 6—she’s 17 years old. She’s found other ways to make her voice heard, but she’s just 10 months shy of her 18th birthday. It’s frustrating that she’s so close, yet so far, from being able to have a say in next month’s election. “I’m frustrated,” she says. “I want to vote so bad.” CW

barren expanse plumbed with pumpjacks and shimmering with broken glass? Eileen calls that “The Unknown.” The Unknown was not why Eileen moved to Cisco. It might be a reason that she stays, though, if she stays. It is also the reason it is so hard to stay. The desert here is not nice the way it is in Moab, with its shapely red-rock expanses and verdant cottonwood bottoms. In Cisco, even the light has blades. One time, a lake of oil leaked from a pumpjack inside town limits.

BY NOW, YOU MIGHT PICTURE Eileen as a weathered old hermit lady with her mouth set in a grim line, who is suspicious of strangers and keeps a gun by her front door. And Eileen does carry a handgun, a 9mm that hangs heavy on her hip. But she is only 34. She’s small and hard, with a face darkened enough by sun and dirt that her teeth flash like a signal mirror when she laughs. She has an all-day coffee habit, hair shaved close to the scalp, and the kind of intent, sunlit eyes you sometimes see staring out at you from old tintype photographs. Eileen is a gardener who has landed in a place where nothing will grow. Eileen was born in Milwaukee, Wis., the oldest of six kids. Her parents—a mailman and a landscaper—never had much money, so in the family mythology, property was the foundation from which other good things grew. According to one oft-told story, as a girl, Eileen’s grandmother brought a plate from the evening meal each night to an elderly neighbor and stayed to talk. In return, he willed her his house, and she

Station.” Without fail, articles about Cisco will also tell you that it’s a ghost town. This irritates Eileen Muza. Cisco is not abandoned, she often points out: “I live here.” The La Sal Mountains rise up south of Eileen’s home, and Cisco stands in the Cisco Desert, in an exposed, waterless low spot that one book describes without irony as “a hole.” But Eileen has her own names for things, her own landmarks. “My Mountains.” “The One Tire Valley.” “The Green Valley.” And the Cisco Desert itself—a

Another, Eileen looked up to discover two men shooting in her direction from the window of a white pickup. And on a hot, still day in June of 2017, a man running a raft shuttle found Eileen’s dog crumpled in the weeds at the road’s shoulder. He loaded the limp body onto his trailer, blood running over his hands and drove it to her house. She was raw that afternoon, when I arrived for a visit, her face shadowed under a broad hat, her eyes hidden behind sunglasses. She hunched over a wheelbarrow as her friend Joe Bell and I helped her look for rocks to seal Cairo—pronounced Kay-ro, after Cairo, Ill.,— beneath his little mound of earth. “You don’t have to help,” she said a few times, but we ignored her, pulling stones from the flats and palming them with a clang into the barrow. She wouldn’t be getting another dog, she finally insisted. “It’s too much of a weak spot for me. I need to be really fucking strong out here.” If I let myself be soft, she seemed to be saying, I will not last.

ost everyone speeds on the road that runs alongside Cisco, Utah. It can be hard not to, once you work your way into that feeling of empty space and no one to hold you accountable. The town, after all, doesn’t look like much—a desolate jumble of ruined buildings on the scenic route from I-70 to the recreation mecca of Moab, just a few miles from the boat ramp on the Colorado River where rafters load up after running Westwater Canyon. A cursory internet search will tell you that Cisco has cameoed in car chases in the movies Thelma and Louise and Vanishing Point, and might have inspired the Johnny Cash song “Cisco Clifton’s Fillin’

and Eileen’s grandfather were later able to use it as collateral to buy their own, opening a door to better lives. Their kids learned to be resourceful. Eileen credits her love of castoffs and thrift to her mother, Linda Muza, who is on such good terms with the guys at the dump that she bakes them pies. Eileen attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for a year after high school. But the $30,000-a-year price tag seemed to lead to impossible debt, so she dropped out, and, after she had worked off her loans, traveled instead. She had always loved exploring abandoned buildings; now she grew bolder, sleeping in doorways in Paris and living for a time in an abandoned mansion in Sicily, where horses came down from the hills to nuzzle her hands. The habit continued after she returned to the Midwest, where hard times had left old factories yawning with dark invitation, industrial cathedrals of brick and broken glass. Eileen was cautious, but undeterred by the abstract possibility of falling through a rotten floor, or of getting caught, Linda said. And yet she had a certain tenderness. Every family has a worrier, Linda told me, and Eileen was the Muzas’. She could be gregarious and disarming. When Eileen moved back to Chicago in 2007, she became so fond of a Korean spa that she and her girlfriend sometimes slept overnight in the nap room so they could soak in hot water for two days. For 10 years, Eileen grew green things for the city of Chicago’s floriculture department. She loved the diverse cast of coworkers—gay, straight, every shade of skin, people from all over the world. She tended the garden in her yard until it overflowed with color. But like the Art Institute, it felt shaky. The work was seasonal, and her house was a rental in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Then, in January 2015, Eileen traveled to Utah to see the Great Gallery rock art panel, where life-sized red-ochre figures loom on cream-colored sandstone. Another passenger on the plane told her about Cisco, so Eileen stopped there, as many do, en route to her actual destination. She paused in front of a rough log cabin and metal trailer, across from a peeling post office the size of an upended van, all of it surrounded by debris and distance. “That looks like the only house in America that I can afford,” she said to herself. She saw possibility in the junk, and supplies. Almost everything she might need, except water and soil. In a place no one seemed to want, she could build something truly her own. The empty house wasn’t for sale, but she tracked down its owner in nearby Grand Junction, Colo. Eileen negotiated her price. Negotiated it again. And by April, she had it: A place to make a life, for less than a used car. THE CISCO THAT DREW EILEEN bears little resemblance to the Cisco that was. Before the full metastasis of European settlement, the land here was lusher, part of Ute territory. Bands passed through seasonally, harvesting pronghorn and wild onion, and later moving with their own livestock. Photographs of the town that eventually rose in this spot show unlikely squares of lawn, a mercantile, service stations and hotels. Smiling children cluster in front of a school where there is now only a weed patch. Rubble is all that remains of most buildings. Those still standing are full of garbage that people have dumped, and surrounded by junked vehicles in various states of dismemberment, also full of garbage. A bare spot along the tracks on the northside of town marks the place where a giant tank stored water pumped from the Colorado River. Like the much more-populous Thompson Springs to the west, Cisco started as a water stop for steampowered railroad locomotives. The original town site was established a couple miles away on the narrow-gauge line. Then Cisco followed the new standard-gauge railroad to its present location. A post office opened in 1887. Many of the early “news” items in local papers document the minutiae of everyday lives—dances, who was visiting who, a kidnapped sheepdog that found his way home after a twoyear absence. Cisco was where ranchers from the Book Cliffs

to the north and the river bottom and the La Sals to the south brought their livestock for winter range and shipping. Tens of thousands of cows roamed the greater area. As the forage deteriorated, sheep came into favor, with 230,000 permitted to graze by 1938, despite the passage of rangeland protection laws. As many as 100,000 sheep were sheared annually in Cisco in those days; in 1906, a single outfit shipped out a quartermillion pounds of wool. It was packed into tubular sacks and piled along the railroad grade, where local kids played king of the mountain before heading home to be inspected for ticks, according to Dale Harris, who attended elementary school in Cisco and now lives part-time a few miles away. Like many other residents, Dale’s dad, Ballard Harris, built a life there from salvage. He moved his family house from Green River to a spot west of Cisco and assembled an attached service station from the pieces of a building he bought in a ghost town called Sego.

I think this place has something to do with that. It’s a challenge, but also it’s a punishment. Everybody has to wander through the desert, right, in the Bible? —EILEEN MUZA

Drillers hit hydrocarbons in the Cisco Desert in the mid’20s, and the industry periodically flared and subsided there over the next century. In 1952, a man named Charlie Steen was living with his family in a tarpaper shack in Cisco when he made the uranium strike south of Moab that spurred the mining and milling frenzy that consumed parts of Utah until the 1980s, when Moab’s mill finally closed. After diesel train engines replaced steam in the ’50s, the town leaned on its role as a stopover for east-west automobile traffic. Cisco’s population hit about 250 in 1940. It had periods of diversity, though likely the segregated variety. Italian, Chinese, Japanese, African-American and Native American crews worked the railroad. There were Basque shepherds from Spain. A famous black cowboy named Charlie Glass was a regular in the area until his death in 1937. According to Moab resident Ginger Shuey, Glass occasionally stopped by the house where her grandmother, Virginia Gruver, boarded guests. Virginia left her kids—Ginger’s young mother, aunt

and one of her uncles—in charge while she was away, and Glass looked out for them, Ginger said. Once, a customer tried to grope Ginger’s aunt, and she dumped a bowl of stew on his head. When he leapt up in fury, he found Charlie’s gun in his face. It can be difficult to judge whether the Wild West stories about Cisco are true or apocryphal. Perhaps that matters less than the fact that people choose to tell them, simultaneously recreating the town and adding its patina to their own histories. Virginia, Ginger told me, was a bootlegger. The sheriff raided her house, but never found her whiskey because, being a man, he didn’t think to look in the brown-glass Clorox bottles by the laundry. Dale said his father went to investigate a strange noise one night wearing only “his unders and a six-shooter,” and found a man and a woman trying to crowbar open the change box in the service station phone booth. He scared them so badly they got wedged in the doorway trying to flee. AJ Rogers, a retired Utah Department of Transportation foreman who grew up and still lives in Thompson Springs, remembers visiting the café in Cisco in 1970 to play pool and drink beer as a teenager, the proprietor not being particular about ID. In 1973, AJ got a seasonal job building I-70, and it was I-70 that ultimately killed Cisco, bypassing it by a couple of miles. Ironically, AJ told me, the new interstate ran right through the townsite that Cisco had left to follow the railroad. The town “went from very quiet to absolute silence,” recalled Dean Christensen, who ran leases in the oilfield over the next 40 years from the house next door to Eileen’s. Even so, he said, the distance from law enforcement meant “there was always something happening in Cisco.” One resident supposedly built a two-story dog house over an oil well to hide it from inspectors. Dean claimed at least three bodies were dumped near Cisco during his tenure, and that the serial killer Ted Bundy stopped by the old store and gas station and immediately turned around when he found a group of armed locals playing cards. Dale Harris’ dad’s place burned down after he died, and Dale demolished the garage and root cellar, too. Transients had been staying there, he explained uneasily. He’d found a coyote carcass strung in a doorway. His son found a dead dog hanging from a pole. By the 1980s, Grand County had collected 80.5 acres of Cisco in lieu of delinquent taxes. It sold the land to a company that planned a mall-sized incinerator that would process 2,000 pounds per hour of toxic chemicals like PCBs. The company’s president attended county meetings in a polyester suit and diamond pinky ring like the Dynasty-version of an old-time snake-oil salesman. It would have been a fitting conclusion to Cisco’s decline— the town no longer valued for what it might produce, but for the wasteland it had become. In the end, even this faded. An hour down the road in Moab, the county seat, environmental consciousness was growing. In 1988, the then mostly conservative community blocked the incinerator by a two-to-one vote. The referendum signaled the region’s new direction: A near-complete dependence on tourism, its own form of extraction. When experiences are sold, when scenery becomes commodity, places can morph into caricatures of themselves, obscuring context and meaning. Moab drew the money, and Cisco drew the lollygaggers. The ruins alone couldn’t imbue Cisco’s scrap of ground with the complexity of memory— substance abuse and skeletons in the desert and drinking water carried in milk cans and men crushed between train cars and joy and poverty and house fires and holes in the floor and rooms washed yellow with leftover road paint because it was what there was to use. The town became a sideline, a bit part of many narrative threads, but with no complete one of its own. And with no center, it could become whatever viewers wanted. Like with the La Sals and the desert, Eileen came up with her own affectionate name for Cisco: Garbage Island.

AS MUCH AS CISCO’S POWER to attract people irked Eileen, it was also the thing that began to steady her there. A woman named Farland Fish stopped in town one day to let her dogs chase the rabbits that lurked amid the junk and was surprised to find Eileen there, too. Athletic and tall with wind-tangled blond hair, Farland lived in the La Sals, worked odd jobs and shared Eileen’s love of old stuff. She felt an immediate kinship with the younger woman, and when Eileen moved to Cisco full-time, Farland became a steady visitor. Eileen thought of her as a second mom. There were others, too. A man who checked the oil pumps began looking in on Eileen. Her nearest neighbor brought her bullets. Raft shuttlers brought her ice and oranges. A musician and woodworker named Michael Gerlach came out from Milwaukee after a bad breakup and

EILEEN CAME TO RELISH THE FREEDOM of The Unknown, all searching walks and random artifacts: a dump full of brown-glass Clorox bottles like the ones Ginger Shuey described; a wooden post hammered into the ground miles from anywhere with a metal file jammed into the top. She became the place’s unofficial archivist. Still, she asked Claire, only halfjokingly, if she might go insane. Linda worried about Eileen being a young woman alone out there, and about Eileen being lonely. The most challenging thing about Cisco wasn’t the solitude, though. It was how often Eileen had company she didn’t want. When she bought her place, she hadn’t realized just how many spectators the ruined town drew. She watched flabbergasted as tourists climbed under fences to explore ominous buildings papered with “No Trespassing” signs or wandered onto her own property filming with their iPhones while she was in plain sight.

She piled twisted metal and wood to keep people from driving into the desert and circling behind her place, where they were difficult to track. If someone seemed creepy, she’d find a way to mention her shotgun. She kept her buildings lit up all night with solar-powered exterior lamps. When a drone whined over the roof of her cabin, she tried to shoot it down. When someone parked close to the cabin for too long, she blasted a recording of Charles Bukowski reading his grim poetry in a gravelly monotone. Once they hear him “talking about whores and beer farts,” she said, “people hit the gas real quick.” People seemed to feel entitled to the space because they thought it was empty. Eileen fought this the best way she could think of: She let them think she owned the whole town, so they would listen when she told them to stay on the road. She didn’t like strangers trespassing on private land that absent neighbors couldn’t defend, or taking things for their own use. And she justified her own salvage of bits and pieces from the ruins by explaining that what she took stayed where it belonged: in Cisco. Late one frigid December night, I was reading in Eileen’s post office when I heard a gunshot a few feet away. I cautiously stepped into the dark to find her in trenchcoat and underwear, standing next to her friend Nick on a boardwalk she’d built to avoid the gumbo mud that the earth became each spring. The muzzle flashed as she fired at an angle, again, into the sky. “Fucking kids,” she said. She pointed to the other side of town where she’d heard someone rummaging in a building on the main road. I spotted headlights rolling eastward. But instead of speeding away, the truck turned up the side road toward us. Someone inside played a high-powered spotlight over one old building, then another. The truck turned again and rolled to a stop between Eileen’s buildings, not 20 feet away from where we watched from behind the outhouse. The spotlight pooled across the front of the cabin. “I wish I was wearing clothes,” Eileen hissed. She fired once more over the desert. The truck reluctantly rolled on. Eileen stomped back to bed, her bare feet pounding the boards.

IT DIDN’T TAKE EILEEN LONG to realize that leaving her property on Garbage Island unattended was risky. The day after she bought it, someone ransacked the trailer. She couldn’t stay to ward off vandals because she was broke. So during the first two years, she tried to have friends camp there while she went home to Chicago for the temperate months to work her landscaping job and see the woman she was dating. In the offseasons, she returned to Utah. Eileen’s mom, Linda, joined her for her first month there, and the two worked on Eileen’s two small parcels through bitter winter weather and bad head colds, burning debris in a metal barrel as they went. It was so cold when her dad, Richard Muza, visited that the paint he intended to use on Eileen’s little post office froze solid and he had to thaw it with a space heater. Eileen’s parents supported what she was doing. “I remember thinking, you’re really going to know who you are here, because there’s no distraction,” Linda said. “It’s like this is where music began. This is a place that people had to fill up with their own sound so they didn’t fucking go crazy.” Eileen had been warned about Cisco’s extremes, but by early winter of 2016, she had settled in full-time. “Part of me wants to just see how bad it’s going to get,” she told me after a mutual friend introduced us. She went to Catholic school, she said, “and I think this place has something to do with that. It’s a challenge, but also it’s a punishment. Everybody has to wander through the desert, right, in the Bible?” Over the coming months, she grew skinny on discount groceries and boiled her coffee with water poured from five-gallon jugs filled at the 7-Eleven in Moab or a spigot behind a dumpster in Grand Junction, where she went for building supplies when she couldn’t find what she needed in Cisco. The wind was constant, and that spring, it gusted so hard one night that some of Eileen’s friends heard a lopsided building tear apart and collapse. In summer, it got so hot that sometimes Eileen would lie down on the dirt floor of the cabin’s cellar when the sun hit its apogee. It rained so rarely that she forgot what it felt like, she said, though sometimes the wind threw pebbles against the metal skin of her trailer, and they sounded yearningly like the first drops of a storm. A few days into one of my visits, fed up with the heat, Eileen, her sister Claire, and Claire’s friend, Amy, piled into an SUV and bumped overland to find a spring that someone had told Eileen about. Eileen imagined it as a deep pool and brought a bar of soap. There was supposedly an old road, but every track we tried ended in a gully or holes big enough to swallow a wheel. We exited off the interstate instead, searching a web of oil and gas roads until we found a place where a thicket of saltcedar and cottonwood glowed in the sunset light. Water gurgled somewhere beneath the riot, but we couldn’t see it. Eileen stepped gingerly through the cattails. “There are animals in here,” she squeaked, part nerves, part delight. Claire and Amy branched north looking for water, too, but found only a dead cow. They led us to the little knot of juniper trees where it lay, and we peered through a hole in its chest. There was only blackness inside.

stayed off and on for eight months. A drinking-water advocate named Fern Schultz hit the road following a dear friend’s suicide and a decision to drop out of grad school and ended up helping Eileen out a couple of times on Utah backroads. Later, she stayed for nearly a month. Eileen first met Joe Bell, who later helped her bury Cairo, when she confronted him looking for metal as darkness fell one night. Joe turned out to be armed, a former defense contractor IT specialist with libertarian-leaning politics who had moved back to Moab, where he grew up, to become a blacksmith. They recognized something in each other, and soon Joe was a regular, too. These connections helped build Eileen a foundation that property and self-reliance alone couldn’t give: a boosted faith in her own vision, and a kind of community. They also made the punishing work—Eileen’s journey through the desert, with its long days and constant grime—lighter. Eileen taught herself how to build windows and doors from studying how Cisco’s builders had improvised. Joe helped Eileen reroof the cabin with optimistic-looking red metal. Inside, Farland helped her peel back fake wood paneling, chicken wire and plaster, thick paint and layers of wallpaper. They yanked up three shag carpets laid over several sheets of linoleum. Michael helped build a new floor; Fern broke down kitchen walls “full of rat stuff turned to dust.” Pieces of past eras, interleaved, emerged from the walls, from the dirt and sheds surrounding. Star Wars cards and a gold ring; old coins and floppy disks. Written on the cabin wall, in cursive pencil, a name: Jesse Gruver, Ginger’s uncle. And another inside the front door: Franzisco Picabea, 1962, beside faded lines scrawled in Spanish and Basque. Eventually, Eileen had the cabin in livable shape, the tiny post office overhauled and fitted with an air conditioner, and the shack next door shored up and tightly insulated. She began renting out the two smaller buildings to guests through Airbnb, bringing in a thin but steady seasonal income and visitors from near and far that approximated the diverse mix she missed in Chicago. Besides family and friends, there were artists, an FBI agent, models from Europe, a couple from China, two young women on their way to Vegas to get married. One day, she got an email from a retired teacher in Japan who was building a scale model of Cisco for the railroad set in his house. Another day, some horses wandered into town and she, her sister Maggie and a friend led them back to the camp of some Peruvian shepherds. The helpers, too, just kept accreting, some in less obvious

ways. Among them was a couple from Arizona who stopped by bearing groceries and some dog treats several months after Cairo died. They gently urged Eileen to keep the treats, and she resolved to donate the box to the Moab animal shelter. She figured she could walk a dog. The person behind the desk brought out a desert-born, dingo-looking little thing, with crooked ears, mysterious scars and a limp. She had been returned twice. Now, she climbed into Eileen’s car as if she had been there a thousand times, “like she was already my dog,” Eileen said. Eileen named her Rima. Perhaps it was just Eileen’s way with people that led some to return. Or maybe it was Cisco—its free-feeling distance from regular life, its suggestion that “ruin” was not ruin at all. “Cisco is the best place to land in the midst of troubles,” Fern told me. “There is no judgment. If you work, Eileen likes you. If you work hard, she likes you even more.” Joe Bell gave me an explanation for the phenomenon that seemed as plausible as any. “Once I realized (Eileen’s) situation, I wanted to see how the story ended,” he said. “I want to see her succeed.” ON A WALK OUT INTO THE UNKNOWN this winter, I asked Eileen why she thought so many people were drawn to the town. She was quiet for a moment. “I like Farland’s thought that they like to peek into the future of humanity,” she said. Maybe Cisco compels them for the same reasons apocalyptic narratives about zombies and other disasters are so popular. They can look into the darkness of societal collapse from a safe vantage. Then they can go home to running water and a job. “I guess this was a town recently enough to be sort of alarming as a ghost town,” I said at another point. “If this town can empty out and blow away, basically it can happen to any town.” “And it will,” Eileen said. “It happens everywhere.” But late one night as we watched the barrel fire burn down, I asked Farland and Eileen more explicitly if this ghosttown obsession was really about death. They rejected the idea. “It’s the opposite,” Eileen said. Even if old things can’t remember, they take on the feel of those who used them, carrying it forward. And with the work of Eileen’s hands everywhere here now—her soul layered with the others who have rebuilt this place over and over and over—she said she won’t be leaving if she can help it.

What Eileen has done isn’t restoration. But it does feel like a resurrection. Cisco is breathing again, and not just because of the wind changing the pressure in the buildings, making the boards creak. Eileen still questions her decision to move here when smoke from wildfires blots out the sky or something creepy happens. She hasn’t seen her mom in two years. Her grandfather died this spring, and she grieved from a distance, consoling herself by yelling at a bus full of Australian tourists. She sometimes talks about buying an old church in the green wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. But even then, she would keep Cisco. She and her sisters are planning an artist residency in an old Winnebago that she and another friend are framing as a house. Every day, she seems more interested in her chosen home’s future than she is in its past. When Eileen was redoing the floor in the shack near the post office, she found two more signatures. They belonged to the Paces, brothers who founded a local cattle company and owned the mercantile for a time. She signed her own name low on the wall. “To me, this is like art now,” she told me. “This is not just making a house. Everything is intentional. Those guys did the same thing. “Everybody wants to put their name on something. I think that’s what art is about: “Here I am. “I’m alive right now. “Look what I made.” This June was much like Eileen’s first on the property, a fist of heat pressing down. One weekend, we took off with Rima to look for water—a cake of soap wrapped in brown paper balanced between us on the dash of her little sedan. Not to the trickle spring with its dead cow this time, but to the Colorado River, where a shelf of stone sliced into the current. The dog watched Eileen peel out of dirt-rimmed clothes and dive under. When she surfaced, floating on her back in an eddy, Rima dashed along the edge, biting and barking at the water—this foreign, wet, wild thing. And Eileen laughed, her teeth flashing up at the slate-gray sky, tassled at its edges by virga that promised rain but never touched the earth.

Pioneer Theatre Co.: Sweeney Todd Whether you’re playing a hero or a villain, every role brings an actor its own unique set of challenges. But how do you play a hero who is also a villain? In Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the main character is a wrongly imprisoned man who seeks revenge once he’s back out in the world, and effectively becomes a serial killer. According to actor Kevin Earley (above right, with Anne Tolpegin as Mrs. Lovett), who stars as Sweeney Todd in Pioneer Theatre Co.’s production, the key to playing such a villain is that “you try to figure out what they want, and what they’re willing to do to get it. Any hero has the same elements. … [Todd]’s been dealt such a horrible hand, he sees a lot of the world as corrupt. It’s a grim view on life, but 15 years in prison will do that to a person.” Director Karen Azenberg has crafted the show with costuming and scenic design emphasizing a steampunk sensibility to the setting of Victorian London, giving the dark, bloody tale a little something extra for the Halloween season. Yet the show remains anchored in the music of Sondheim, which Earley believes both tests and rewards a performer. “[The orchestration] gives you an idea of what the line wants you to do emotionally,” he says. “[Sondheim] gives you clues. … If you sing this as he wrote it, it gives you a sense of character. When you incorporate that, it works really well. When you don’t, you might be shooting yourself in the foot.” (Scott Renshaw) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street @ Pioneer Memorial Theatre, 300 S. 1400 East, 801-581-6961, Oct. 26-Nov. 10, dates and times vary, $44-$66, pioneertheatre.org

Eileen Hallet Stone: Auerbach’s: The Store That Performs What It Promises There was a time in the history of Salt Lake City, before the rise of suburban malls and the ubiquity of Amazon, when going shopping for anything other than groceries meant going downtown, most likely to either ZCMI or Auerbach’s department stores. Everything anyone could ever need, particularly when it came to clothes, could be found in one building, as the term “niche” had not yet become associated with retail sales. It’s easy to understand why ZCMI—Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institution—was popular in Utah, since it was founded by Brigham Young. The presence of Auerbach’s is part of a different, and much more surprising, story. In the 19th century, three Jewish brothers somehow decided that Mormon-dominated Salt Lake City would be the perfect place for them to open a retail business. The fascinating story of the Auerbachs and their venture is told by Eileen Hallet Stone in her new book, Auerbach’s: The Store That Performs What It Promises. Besides chronicling the improbable rise of a department store that was an anchor of Salt Lake City’s downtown for more than a century, Stone’s historical account also includes sea voyages, Wild West grittiness and tales of keeping Utah’s “Ladies of Aristocracy” in the finest of finery. Stone, an award-winning author and former Salt Lake Tribune columnist, reads from Auerbach’s at The King’s English during a free book-signing event.

But while this event originates in one culture, it has come to be embraced by a far more expansive population, with an annual attendance of approximately 3,500 visitors. “Especially as Day of the Dead has expanded in popular culture”—including last year’s hit animated film Coco—“people have more of an understanding of its cultural significance,” Taylor Timmerman, development coordinator for UCCC, says. “We see people from all cultural backgrounds attending.” The full day of activities includes vendors selling traditional Day of the Dead food, arts and crafts; a beer garden for adults; live music and dance performances; family-friendly games; and participatory craft activities for all ages, including decorating sugar skulls and making buttons and bracelets. The Saturday event also occurs in conjunction with an ongoing gallery exhibition of community ofrenda altars and authentic art honoring the celebration. Timmerman notes that while Día de los Muertos has come to be associated with its neighboring October holiday, it has its own unique concept separate from ghosts and costumes. “Come with an open mind, and with the understanding that while it’s close to Halloween, it’s not a Halloween celebration,” she says. “It explores the way other cultures remember those who have passed on, and how death is a part of our life.” (SR) Day of the Dead Celebration @ Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 South, West Valley City, Oct. 27, 11 a.m.– 6 p.m., $5 adults; 12 and under free, culturalcelebration.org

TUESDAY 10/30 Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games

A performance from Lord of the Dance—choreographer Michael Flatley’s ever popular interpretation of traditional Irish step-dancing—ought to come with a warning: “Don’t try this at home.” Indeed, any attempt to emulate the lively, limber performers will likely end one of two ways: You’ll either pull your groin muscle, or fall flat on your face. While it might prove entertaining—not so much for you as for those around you—it’s unlikely you’ll ever be as graceful as the dancers who dazzle audiences worldwide. That cautionary message is more relevant given that the latest installment of Flatley’s spectacular stage show is named Dangerous Games. As if the title isn’t auspicious enough, the highstepping cast members are now augmented by dancing robots, acrobats, dazzling technology, a giant flat screen and new modern musical score. Amateurs could easily become distracted, but audiences will certainly be enthralled. Even with all the enhancements, some things remain the same. Accentuating the show’s display of Celtic culture is the heightened drama of a modern musical. It also retains a reverence for proven plot devices, folk-art origins aside: Dangerous Games’ narrative is spun around that age-old struggle between good and evil. Flatley himself knows all about finding a successful formula. He founded the Lord of the Dance franchise in 1995 after initially starring in the dance spectacular Riverdance. He originated the Dangerous Games production in 2014 and it’s captivated crowds ever since. Presumably, no amateurs or imitators have been injured in the process.

City on a Hill

Through technique and subject matter, artist Yang Yongliang explores tension between ancient and modern China. BY SCOTT RENSHAW scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

hen Luke Kelly first encountered the work of Chinese artist Yang Yongliang, he wasn’t quite sure if he was the right person to bring it to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. As associate curator of collections and antiquities, Kelly oversees collections from the ancient world, as well as the museum’s Asian collection. But what was the proper showcase for pieces that pulled from a Chinese tradition of landscape painting and calligraphy dating back two centuries, yet which employed the modern techniques of digital photography? That fascinating juxtaposition will be on display during the salt 14 solo exhibition of Yang’s work at UMFA, opening Friday, Oct. 26., most notably in the images that first captured Kelly’s imagination in 2014. “His earliest works I saw were these monumental landscapes,” Kelly says, “that emulated a period in Chinese history called the Song Dynasty, where they’d make these paintings that were nearly 7 feet tall, these towering mountainscapes. [Yang’s] work was kind of emulating that, but it was only when you looked in detail that you saw the mountains he created were not actual mountains of rock; they were building components, power lines, cranes. … He was taking this nearly 2,000-year-old tradition and expressing it in a completely different way.” It took a few years for the exhibition to

come together—in part affected by the museum’s long closure for renovation in 201617—but finally makes its way to Utah in a show that also features a 7-minute long video installation called Prevailing Winds, and “lightboxes” showcasing the transformation of Yang’s digital images into physical photographic prints. Yet there’s something uniquely compelling about those digitally altered mountainscapes, which convey the imposition of increasing industrialization on the landscape of Chinese society. Kelly describes the subject matter as informed largely by Yang’s background growing up in and around Shanghai during a time of explosive growth. When the artist was born, in 1980, Shanghai was a port city with a population of 5 million people; as of August 2018, the population was 26 million. “I saw [wrestler/actor] Jon Cena in an interview with Trevor Noah talking about visiting Shanghai,” Kelly says, “and he saw a skyline that was like 20 New York Cities. … Chinese urban planning is different from the 1700s and 1800s, when it was about harmony with nature. Now, urban planners are like, ‘Where is the best group of workers? Are they an hour away by mass transit? Two hours away? How do we get them to a work center?’ And it’s these conversations that will keep continuing.” Kelly believes that some of these issues— the imperative to advance economic growth, while preserving the landscape—have resonance here in Utah, even though China is dealing with them on a radically larger scale. “On the Wasatch Front, we’re growing, but we think 50,000 people is a lot of growth,” he says. “Now imagine a million people coming in per year. There’s a desire to hold on to what makes Utah great, but at the same time, we want to grow and be successful. So there’s that tension. Yang’s looking into that same thing. These cities are part of China’s vital, growing economy, but at the same time, this rapid modernization, what is it coming at the cost of?” Yang’s choice to explore this phenomenon through this particular combination

An image from Yang Yongliang’s Prevailing Winds

of ancient and contemporary techniques plays into China’s notion of itself, according to Kelly, “not as a nation-state, which is a European idea, but as a ‘civilizationstate.’ They look back thousands of years, and they see themselves as a continuation of that, not of this 1900s nation-state of China. So he’s using the perfect medium.” Even the decision to present the images in black and white comes with echoes of that Song Dynasty tradition, in which monochromatic images were a deliberate choice. “There was some critique [at the time] that color could sometimes obscure brush strokes,” Kelly says. “It was not only about the overall image; a brushstroke could reveal the inner nature of that particular artist, more so than a biography.” And that “inner nature” played a crucial role in Song Dynasty landscapes, adding to the complexity of the way Yang has taken that style into the 21st century. His works convey an ongoing collision between old and new worlds, in a way that makes it harder and harder to find serenity. “When Song Dynasty painters created their landscapes,” Kelly says, “they were not just meant to portray a mountaintop; it was either to show the harmony of the universe, or later, as an escape for the individual painter. It was a symbol to represent your inner mind. … The locked-in-ness of human habitation is what humans naturally abhor, and those landscapes were meant to represent an escape. In Yang’s paintings, that escape is no longer there. The city has now become the mountain itself.” CW

area lacks the inviting, cozy atmosphere that comes as naturally to most bakeries as dough hooks and flour-dusted aprons. From a decorative standpoint, the juxtaposition of a deli/bakery superimposed over the white marble of a defunct dinner destination makes for a bit of ambient dissonance.

The South Jordan location is where I made my move. The space used to be home to Grandpa Maddox Restaurant, a mid-level steakhouse that saw a lot of traffic from my folks when they wanted to get their prime rib on. In all honesty, seeing the bygone steakhouse now as a family-owned bakery had an unexpected impact. Although Schmidt’s makes a lovely first impression with its wall-to-wall display cases— more on this later—the dining

uring my years as a college undergrad, every family gathering orchestrated by my mom always featured a gigantic box of éclairs or petit fours from Schmidt’s Pastry Cottage (multiple locations, schmidtspastry.net). While I’d sampled these bite-sized treats many times as an adult, I never took the time to fully explore what Schmidt’s really had to offer until recently. As it turns out, they’re proficient at quite a bit more than the cream-filled pastries that were common fixtures during Super Bowl Sunday.

($38.99) which is a 9-inch, two-layered cake topped with nine scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream and cherries. Essentially, the folks at Schmidt’s wanted to combine a gigantic sundae with a gargantuan cake and let their ingenuity be their guide. They have a smaller version called the Mini Schmidt ($5.99) that’s much easier to handle if you’re flying solo. I can’t stress this enough: If you’re on your own, do not get the Holy Schmidt. Overall, I recommend a casual popin to the smaller Taylorsville (5665 S. Redwood Road) and Sugar House (609 E. 2100 South) locations for something sweet to get you through the day, or to preorder a variety of baked goods for your next social gathering. The South Jordan location offers a more diverse menu, and it’s the only one of their locations where you can get the mythic Holy Schmidt, but I’d love to see more color in the dining room to match the vibrant display area. Regardless, Schmidt’s remains one of the better options for indugling your sweet tooth. CW

From bienenstich to layer cakes—Schmidt’s Pastry Cottage has you covered.

A quick pop into the Schmidt’s lobby, with its perimeter of sumptuously stacked displays is more closely aligned with the bakery’s brand. As the name implies, Schmidt’s offers German pastries as well as a lineup of usual suspects. Slices of bienenstich ($1.55) sit side by side with pumpkin spice doughnuts ($.75); raspberryfilled toscos ($1.10) rub elbows with lemon bars ($.75), and marzipan cake ($3.49) flirts demurely with the Halloween-themed sugar cookies ($1.20). Indeed, the strength of Schmidt’s comes from its variety, all of which is on colorful display. As the pastries at Schmidt’s are more than reasonably priced, it’s difficult to not simply ask for one of everything and be on your way. For those in need of a slightly less caloric indulgence, I can vouch for the toscos—small rectangles of white cake stuffed with raspberry and bookended with chocolate. They’re a pleasant combination of cookies, cake and brownies so they’re ideal for people who aren’t quite sure what they want to get. If you’ve never had the chance to try beinenstich, Schmidt’s is a good place to start. They’re a bit heavier on the buttercream than I like, but all in all, this is a solid pastry that isn’t as widely available as it should be. Those looking for dessert that eats like a meal will want to turn their attention to Schmidt’s menu of plated desserts for all their gooey, sugary, melty desires. The king of this particular court is the Holy Schmidt

Schmidt Just Got Real

dining hall that was meant for dinner with a capital D—vaulted ceilings, dark wood flooring and a large gas fireplace—just made me feel weird. The dining room maintains the hardened edge of an egocentric steakhouse, and it doesn’t play nicely with Schmidt’s menu of comfort-food staples. Perhaps the best thing about the food at Schmidt’s is that it’s very aware of itself. Just because you’re eating in a huge, marbled dining room doesn’t mean the proprietors feel like they should jack up the prices. I’ve had similar chicken pot pies before—flaky puff pastry stuffed with thick gravy, peas, carrots, potatoes and chunks of chicken—but have paid twice as much for them elsewhere. It’s a solid rendering, though with a small piece of crust plopped on top, it’s not very pie-like. I always get a little irked when places serve up a dish that’s more like biscuits and gravy and call it a pot pie—it’s a proclivity that likely resulted from some unaddressed childhood trauma. Regardless, it’s a hearty, filling meal for under 10 bucks, and I’m always down for that. If you take a wee one of your own with you, the kid’s meal is actually pretty awesome. My daughter’s meal included a grilled cheese sandwich, a juice box, some applesauce and a toddler-sized cupcake she did not want to share. She’s a fan of food that is to scale with her miniature frame, so she enthusiastically got her meal all over the place (sorry, Schmidt’s So-Jo).

After 40 years as one of downtown Salt Lake’s most preeminent purveyors of steaks served with a generous helping of old-school aplomb, the New Yorker Restaurant has closed its doors. During its time on the fine-dining scene, it became one of the pillars of Gastronomy, Inc., which still operates Market Street Grill and the Oyster Bar. Although details are sparse, the ever-changing food scene and reports of a potential hepatitis A outbreak, according to the Salt Lake County Health Department, might have factored into the decision to close. I was by no means a regular, but my few visits made me want to get some friends together, throw on some crisp suits, and spend an evening there pretending we were living in an episode of Mad Men.

have only ever tasted a handful of brut IPAs, and so far have had mixed experiences. I get it: They’re still relatively new, and we of the beer-loving mob have yet to give our collective blessing to this new and incredibly specific version of the India Pale Ale. This whole sub-style is, in a sense, a backlash in response to the overly hazy, turbid IPAs on the market. Brut IPAs aren’t like other variations—full of malt sweetness and hops that can play off of each other without much effort. In my experience, alcohol doesn’t seem to be such a huge factor in bruts. In fact, I think a lower ABV seems to prevent them from becoming overly dry and one-dimensional, making them a prime style for Utah’s session-strength market. Uinta Brewing is the latest local brewery to emerge with one, and it seems to be right on time. Uinta Saddleback Brut IPA: Pouring intensely clear, it has an almost comical level

of clarity. In fact, it looks like those fizzy yellow beers from the grocery store we spend so much time slamming. The nose has a striking characteristic of lemon and orange peel, with some of the nicer qualities of a fruitier West Coast IPA. The aromas are faint, but they do set you up for the palate. As it hits the tongue, it almost has a sake-like quality with some light florals and cantaloupe. There’s a nice, light citrus spritz next that brings in a bit of IPA character; it’s more of what I was hoping for. That being said, it’s not fruity, and the bitterness in the finish seems to be enhanced by the prickly gas in the beer. Overall: There’s a slight learning curve here that won’t be hard to overcome. If you’re a fan of Pilsners and light lagers, you’ll adjust fairly quickly, but if you like your IPAs chewy, you’ll have to spend a pint or two getting to know it. This 4-percent beer has just enough going for it to keep your mind and palate interested. Toasted Barrel Young Bruin: The Oud Bruin style of sour ale is one of the things in life that just makes me happy. I love the funky tartness and the dark fruity flavors that come from the malt. The Young Bruin from Toasted Barrel is not that beer, and I’m OK with that. Hell, it practically says it in the name: This is a less mature, fastersprinting interpretation of the style. Appearance-wise, it looks the part: mahogany wood (mostly) with a tinge of ruby highlights. My interest is piqued as I get

BEER NERD

my nose down in there. It’s a little sour, but mostly just lemon with a hint of cocoa, stone fruits and a touch of melon. Then the first sip shows off its soured ale—the lactic acidity full of tart lemon with hints of some malt sweetness. From here the brown ale begins to take over, adding toasted grains and a dose of vague nuttiness. Unexpectedly, some cocoa creeps in behind the other toasted qualities, adding a bit of dryness that seems to complement the barely noticeable hops. It finishes tart, with lemon and lactic acidity

briefly carrying on into the aftertaste, which soon dries out this 5.8-percent beer. It’s light in body, with middling carbonation levels that briskly prickle the tongue. Overall: If you’re a fan of kettle sour or sour mash beers, this one should please you. There aren’t too many breweries in our market doing dark sours. If I had to knock it, I’d say that I’d like to see a smidge more malt sweetness to really round it out and make it more of a “young adult” Bruin. As always, cheers! CW

This is the type of restaurant that challenges diners to try everything, making repeat visits easy to justify. It can get pretty packed during the weekend, Disneyland-worthy lines and all, but for those with a serious craving for the lovely, golden brown, sweet-and-sour Chinese food that calls America home, it’s tough to find a place with a heartier selection.

The Galley Grill

While Russian cuisine often gets overshadowed by its flashier Western European neighbors, it’ll keep you warm while you endure a punishing winter. The naval aesthetic of Galley Grill’s home—a defunct seafood restaurant—doesn’t quite match the rustic, stick-to-your-ribs quality of Russian food, but rest assured, the Galley serves up the good stuff. Start with a bowl of tasty little beef-filled dumplings called pelmeni ($7.79 half order; $10.99 full) or the potatofilled vareniki ($7.49/$10.69), served with a lot of sour cream and topped with dill. Those in the mood for a strict meatand-potatoes kind of gastronomic journey should consider the pork shashlik ($12.79)—a skewer of meat cooked over an open flame and served on a bed of fresh veggies, boiled potatoes and a side of adjika, an herbaceous salsa that hearkens to South American chimichurri. The cabbage rolls ($12.99) arrive slathered in sour cream and dill, and are a nice way to open up the palate to traditional Russian flavors. Galley Grill serves food that provides a direct conduit to the history, culture and people who created it—the kind of place that makes going out to eat a true adventure. Reviewed Aug. 23. 1295 E.

Magic

Twilight Zone: The Movie

Andrew Wright: Late-1970s television excelled at driving unregulated children toward insomnia, as airwaves were saturated with countless re-broadcasts of The Exorcist and Jaws, oodles of made-for-TV schlock featuring titles like This House Possessed and Satan’s Triangle, and that one episode of Fantasy Island where Mr. Rourke fought the Devil. The worst thing, however, was undoubtedly the commercial for 1978’s Magic, which managed to transmogrify a leaden melodramatic thriller into 32 seconds of pure nightmare fuel. In the spot, a sweaterclad ventriloquist dummy (voiced by Sir Anthony Hopkins!) faces the camera deadon while atonally screeching out an ersatz nursery rhyme about body swapping, taking someone to bed (?!) and death. Then the mouth opens wide and the eyes start moving back and forth, and ... oh, it’s too horrible to recount, really. (Check out YouTube if you’re curious. Offer only applies during daylight hours.) The programming executive who allowed this to air during The Banana Splits owes a sincere apology to an awful lot of prematurely gray, permanently eye-bagged 40-somethings out there. CW

Threads

of running from horror movies, I embraced them. If it weren’t for the recent birth of my son, I’d be spending each night this October watching slasher flicks—but maybe that’s what 2 a.m. feedings are for. Eric D. Snider: My scariest film experience didn’t even involve seeing a film. I was 9 years old, and my dad had recently seen Twilight Zone: The Movie. We were big fans of the Twilight Zone TV show in our house, so it made sense for him to fill me in on the movie’s eerie delights. Dad described the prologue sequence, in which Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks drive down a dark highway, swapping memories of their favorite TZ episodes. Aykroyd says, “Do you want to see something really scary?” Brooks says sure; Aykroyd has him pull over. Aykroyd turns his face to the window while Brooks waits with amusement to see what he’s going to do. When Aykroyd turns back around, he has the face of A MONSTER and attacks the driver! So vividly did my father recount this story, and so emotionally fragile was I as a 9-year-old, that I immediately burst into terrified sobs. The mere idea of it was so frightening that it was several years before I could actually watch the movie—which, of course, couldn’t compare to the terror I’d imagined.

WARNER BROS. PICTURES

or everyone who grows up with pop culture, certain experiences become indelible—but our experiences with fear can be particularly burned into our brains. Ahead of Halloween, City Weekly’s film critics recall the movie-related moments that scared them most profoundly, and why. Scott Renshaw: For me, the most affecting scary movies aren’t so much about what happens inside the theater, but the impact they have afterward. As a 9 year old in 1976, I probably shouldn’t have been watching Jaws, though my uncle apparently thought it was a fine idea. I knew it had gotten under my skin when Ben Gardner’s severed head occupied my nightmares for weeks afterward. Then, as an adult, there was the midnight screening of The Blair Witch Project at the Tower Theatre during the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. The movie had been generating crazy buzz, and I certainly found the bone-deep dread it inspired unlike anything I’d ever seen before. But the final punch came as I walked out of the theater in the middle of the night, and inadvertently stepped near enough to a fallen tree branch that it got caught under the cuff of my pants, giving it a tug. I doubt that I have ever jumped so high, so fast, in a manner that probably looked like a cartoon character.

Tales of the scary movie moments our critics will never forget.

COLUMBIA PICTURES

The Fright Stuff

MaryAnn Johanson: The scariest film I have ever seen is Threads, a British TV movie that came out of the same apocalyptic zeitgeist that produced The Day After. Threads aired on PBS in the U.S. in early 1984, which is when I first saw it as a teenager, already convinced I was going to die in a nuclear war. It’s a docudrama-style look at a confrontation between the West and the Soviet Union that rapidly escalates into all-out global nuclear war—and then, even more horrifyingly, depicts the long-term aftereffects as civilization collapses into a sort of medieval subsistence for those unlucky enough to have survived. When I say that Threads is my single most harrowing movie experience, it is only because it seared a black furrow across my soul as an impressionable teen that has never healed; it still plagues the dim recesses of my imagination. Early in the film, someone says, “If a bomb does drop, I wanna be pissed out of my mind and straight underneath it when it happens,” and this movie pulls not a single punch in showing you exactly why this is not too extreme a position to hold. David Riedel: My parents refused to subscribe to HBO in the early 1980s, probably because they knew I’d watch movies that would scare the shit out of me. My solution: Head over to my friend Jason’s house, because his parents had no qualms about letting him watch verified brain poison on premium cable. So when I was 8 (8!!), we glued our eyes to Creepshow, the George A. Romero/Stephen King anthology of goofy and gory tales. Two stories are effectively creepy: Father’s Day and Something to Tide You Over. Two—The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill (starring King himself) and The Crate—are God-awful. And then comes They’re Creeping Up on You, featuring the great E.G. Marshall as a germophobe set upon by cockroaches. The special effects don’t hold up so well, but the final shot of gajillions of bugs bursting from a man’s head, neck and stomach still makes me queasy. That scene terrified me, but instead

CINEMA CLIPS MOVIE TIMES AND LOCATIONS AT CITYWEEKLY.NET

NEW THIS WEEK Film release schedules are subject to change. Reviews online at cityweekly.net ALL ABOUT NINA BBB.5 Hell yes, it’s timely, but it’d be a damned shame if writer/director Eva Vives’ debut feature were treated as worthy simply out of #MeToo support. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Nina Geld, a caustic stand-up comedian trying to advance her career while her personal life consists of one-night stands and an affair with an abusive, married cop. When an opportunity for a personal and professional fresh start in Los Angeles emerges, Nina takes it, and finds an unusual-for-her chance at a healthy relationship. Winstead’s performance captures the self-loathing that fuels everything about Nina, while Dives provides great foundational scenes like a date between Nina and her new guy (Common) that turns into one of cinema’s sexiest all-nighters. It builds to a scene with more than a few echoes of Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette, and the encounters between cynical New Yorker Nina and touchy-feely Los Angelenos feel like stuff that hasn’t gotten fresher in the 40 years since Annie Hall. But this remains a powerful character study about trying to find healing through refusing to say only the things that make other people comfortable. Opens Oct. 26 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—Scott Renshaw HUNTER KILLER [not yet reviewed] An American submarine commander (Gerard Butler) tries to stave off an international incident between American and Russian submarines. Opens Oct. 26 at theaters valleywide. (R)

INDIVISIBLE [not yet reviewed] Fact-based story of an Army chaplain and his wife struggling to preserve their marriage. Opens Oct. 26 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13) JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN BB.5 An idiot is out to save the dregs of the British Empire while wallowing in unwarranted nostalgia for a past that wasn’t as awesome as he would prefer to think. A bit of anti-Brexit bite (and, hence, also anti-Trump bite; he’s a symptom of the same rot) gives this cheerfully dumb third-in-the-franchise spy spoof a bit of heft it might otherwise not have. Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is called back into service when his fellow agents are outed in a cyberattack, and all that follows is entirely beside the point, except that it allows Atkinson to celebrate male fatuousness as a good thing; this is slightly more amusing here than movies generally presume it to be. Because of the cyberattack, English refuses all modern tech, since a smartphone could be tracked. But the “good old British technology” he favors—favours—is depicted as laughably outmoded. Retro vintage is nonsense; it is low-tech hilarity, as seen in the electric smartcar–vs.–gas-guzzler Aston Martin chase sequence. Johnny and his preference for old-school is buffoonish. Laugh until you cry! Opens Oct. 26 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13)—MaryAnn Johanson MID90S BB.5 For his first feature as writer/director, Jonah Hill has made several interesting scenes; what he hasn’t made is something that coheres as a movie. The title refers to the Bill Clinton-era Los Angeles where 13-year-old Stevie (Sunny Suljic) seeks escape from his bullying older brother Ian (Lucas Hedges), and finds it with a multi-ethnic group of older teen skateboarders. There’s an effective awkwardness to scenes of Stevie trying to fit in with guys he idolizes—though Hill does achieve Tarantino-esque lev-

els of “white writer dropping n-words because he thinks it gives him street cred”—and appealing performances from the young, largely inexperienced cast members. It’s simply hard to get a handle on the dynamics of Stevie’s home life, as Stevie’s periodic moments of self-harm feel uncomfortably like a grasp at “seriousness,” while both Ian and Stevie’s single mom (Katherine Waterston) remain frustrating ciphers. Filmmakers seem to think there’s an authenticity to episodic tales of near-feral adolescents, but you can still tell a story that comes together as more than a collection of coming-of-age greatest hits. Opens Oct. 26 at theaters valleywide. (R)—SR

SPECIAL SCREENINGS THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW At Tower Theatre, Oct. 26-28 & Oct. 31, times vary. (R) WESTWOOD: PUNK, ICON, ACTIVIST At Main Library, Oct. 30, 7 p.m. (NR) THE WIFE At Park City Film Series, Oct. 26-27, 8 p.m.; Oct. 28, 6 p.m. (R)

CURRENT RELEASES FREE SOLO BBBB Co-directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi follow mountain-climber Alex Honnold as he pursues his dream of climbing Yosemite’s 3,200-foot El Capitan peak—free-climbing, as in without a rope. The filmmakers provide plenty of rich detail on the dangers in the El Capitan climb, and provide a meta-level to the narrative by showing Chin and his crew wondering if their presence might affect Honnold’s concentration. But the richest material provides a full sense of Honnold as a person, particularly the effect of his new romantic relationship on his life; there’s even

a great bit of insight from an MRI that suggests his brain barely processes “danger” as a concern. The climactic attempt itself only takes around 20 minutes of the 100-minute running time, but the breathtaking footage does more than simply build tension; it builds to something genuinely emotional. (NR)—SR

HALLOWEEN BB.5 This direct sequel to 1978’s Halloween erases all other franchise entries, with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) living as a fearful wreck ever since, her anxieties ruining relationships with her family. Director David Gordon Green sensitively uses the scenario to explore violence rippling across generations, with Laurie as an avatar for all women who seek victory over their personal Michael Myerses— because Michael escapes from prison, of course, and comes after Laurie, pausing to kill random folks along the way. Beautifully shot, the film is only mildly scary, but it has its moments. Moreover, its resolution of Laurie’s story is immensely satisfying, cashing in on the tension built up here and over the last four decades. It might be better as a #MeToo symbol than as a Halloween movie, but it’s not a bad Halloween movie. (R)—Eric D. Snider

THE HATE U GIVE BBB In this adaptation of Angie Thomas’s young-adult novel, 16-year-old African-American Starr Carter (Amandla Stenberg) witnesses the police shooting of her unarmed friend Khalil (Algee Smith) during a traffic stop, then must decide whether to raise her voice in protest. Director George Tillman Jr. guides a strong cast, ensuring that the story never turns into a mere collection of debates about hot-button issues. But those issues are always swirling, and the film generates a prickly, uncompromising energy as it touches on not just police violence against people of color, but also the complexity of code-switching, and the question of who is responsible for the fate of black communities. As we watch Starr come to terms with her own ability to fight for change, she also has to ask herself hard questions about who might be included among those she’s fighting against. (PG-13)—SR

depressed and detached. I’ve never felt more balanced or excited for the future as I do now. That personal perspective permeates the honest songwriting on Bridges. I had the luxury of time—it’s been since 2013 since I put out my own music. You come up with 100 ideas, work with collaborators and hope there’s something good. When you’re a vocalist, you’re fully prepared to hear, “That’s nice, but this song might be better for you.” I was so happy that the songs coming from me were beating the songs being presented to me. It wound up turning into the right bowl of porridge: embracing the things my voice could do while having a really personal message. To me, that makes Bridges even more special than the first couple of albums, which had great songs but not as much life experience to back them up. You’re passionate about arts education and advocacy. How important is that when it comes to maintaining the balance you mentioned? Exceedingly important. I’m a product of a public arts education; my life was saved many times by that great teacher pushing me to the front and saying, “You can do this.” I know how vital that is; it’s not just a feel-good extracurricular. It’s nothing short of life-affirming or life-changing for [students], whether they go into the arts professionally or not. I’m one of maybe 5 percent from my high school that did, but I’m one of 100 percent who became more confident, self-aware and empathetic because of it. My foundation, Find Your Light, provides a powerful way to pay that forward, hopefully keeping some of these programs around that are being cut at such a drastic rate. Tell us about your fond memories of Salt Lake City. I’ll never forget singing for the Winter Olympics in 2002 when the flame went out. It was incredible, and so very cold. Kiss was there, and they at least got to wear their costumes. Every time I’ve come through Salt Lake City, the audiences have been so excited— so great, in fact, that I filmed a concert special there. I also played my first arena ever, back when it was called the Delta Center. My first tour was all theaters, but my agent said, “You know what, man? There are a lot of fans in Salt Lake City—let’s experiment.” To come back now is going to be so fantastic. CW

s an artist, Josh Groban has done it all. His eight studio albums have collectively sold nearly 30 million copies. By the time he was 21, he had performed at the Grammys, the Winter Olympics and the Vatican. He’s had recurring roles on hit shows like Ally McBeal written especially for him, and this year he co-stars alongside Tony Danza in the Netflix comedy The Good Cop. Groban has even starred on Broadway, earning a Tony nomination for his 336-performance run as the star of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an electro-pop opera based on War & Peace. No longer just an adult contemporary heartthrob with a beautiful high lyric baritone, the 37-year-old Groban is entering prime Renaissance man territory. And City Weekly got the scoop on his new album Bridges, his newfound maturity and his love of Salt Lake City. City Weekly: How excited are you to be back on the road for the first time since 2016? Josh Groban: It’s my favorite part of the whole process. Sometimes you make an album where, every song you sing, you think, “This is going to be really fun to sing on stage. The instrumentation is going to sound amazing in an arena.” And Bridges is that album. Your entire 20-year career seems to find you constantly diving into new territory. How terrifying is that? Every time I’m scared of the unknown, I view it both with confidence and humility: “I’m going to soak this up like a sponge, learn as much as I can and not be afraid to look dumb in the process.” In Natasha, I was back on a major theatrical stage for the first time since high school. I knocked down those walls and found that acting muscle in a challenging environment, a 360-degree Broadway stage. It felt like the master class I wasn’t able to have when I left theater school [in 1999] to sign a record deal. Working with Tony Danza was an absolute pleasure, too. He’s so charismatic and knows that single-cam TV world inside and out. The whole cast—Tony, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Bill Kottkamp, Monica Barbaro—we just had a lot of fun. You have a lot of fun toying with the stereotype of Josh Groban as Mr. Squeaky Clean, too. When you can take ownership of an extreme view while deconstructing it, that’s fun. But I was able to get the opposite of that out of my system doing Natasha. I played this angry, drunken existentialcrisis-having aristocrat who hates himself, hates the world and hates the way the world treats him, screaming my guts out every night. Then, suddenly, I’m playing this angel detective. You don’t often get the chance to do that as an actor. How difficult was it to reach this point as someone who was thrust into superstardom as a teenager? Looking back on it, I developed a lot of demons. I was under so much pressure at a young age, and I didn’t have any wiggle room to fail. It put my psyche in a pressure cooker. I was very mature when it came to my musicality, but a late bloomer when it came to emotional maturity. Internally, I had a lot of discontent making me deeply unhappy. In the last five years, I’ve tried to enjoy the balance. I’m trying to smell the roses more and make up for the years of being aimless,

When two Latin superstars appear together in concert, it’s a special occasion. However, many Americans might be unaware of the romantic notions ingrained in the style and sound of Amanda Miguel and Diego Verdaguer. Bob Dylan once sang, “Spanish is the loving tongue,” but sadly, our overall affinity in the U.S. for anything that comes from south of the border appears to be at an all-time low. Blame anti-immigrant sentiment and Donald Trump’s desire to build that wall—and then thank Miguel and Verdaguer for helping to restore our Pan-American cultural connection. With a recording career that dates back more than 35 years, the Argentinian-born, California-based Miguel taps into the tender traditions of South America while bringing her own expressive singing style to the fore. Her husband, Verdaguer, was already an established star when the two first met, but when Miguel joined his group Mediterráneo, their musical bond deepened. Verdaguer, also from Argentina, plays trumpet and bandoneón, a kind of concertina, and boasts a deep catalog full of hits such as “Corazón de Papel,” “Usted Que Haría” and “La Ladrona.” Verdaguer’s biggest hit, however, came in 2009 with “Voy a Conquistarte”—translated into English, that means, “I’m going to conquer you.” Hopefully these two prove that point by winning over their audience.

FRIDAY 10/26

Ian Sweet, Young Jesus, Head Portals

Performing as Ian Sweet, Jillian Medford makes introspective indie pop with an emotionally rich core. On her second album, Crush Crusher, she analyzes issues increasingly relevant to young women today: the importance of self-esteem, the impact of living an idealized Instagramworthy life and the responsibility that comes with serving as a caretaker for friends, family and romantic partners. Addressing her own anxiety while digging into its root causes, Medford creates a sonic palette of both dissonance and intimacy, shedding the band members she relied on for debut LP Shapeshifter in favor of the solo approach with which she started Ian Sweet. Working with producer and engineer Gabe Wax on Crush Crusher, Medford ended up with a record that mixes psychedelic rock, shoegaze pop and beat-driven trip-hop. Closing track “Your Arms Are Water” sums up the entire project, with Medford tracing a relationship from inspiring start to drowning end, embracing both compassion and imperfection—a necessary defense mechanism in today’s grueling world. Arrive early for local band Head Portals and L.A. rockers Young Jesus, who mix the desperation and discovery of emo rock with experimental jazz tendencies on new album The Whole Thing. (Nick McGregor) Kilby Court, 741 S. Kilby Court, 7 p.m., $13 presale; $15 day of show, all ages, kilbycourt.com

Amanda Miguel and Diego Verdaguer legendary New Jersey goth rocker Glenn Danzig. Everyone in Generation X, Y and Z knows his first band, The Misfits, which redefined corpse-painted horror punk with classic songs like “Last Caress” and those skull T-shirts worn by teenagers around the globe. But did you know that The Misfits achieved very little success while they were a band from 1977-83? Or that Danzig pulled the plug on his bandmates because he was frustrated by their lack of ambition? Working first as Samhain and then under his adopted stage name, Danzig teamed up with legendary producer Rick Rubin in 1986 and dropped his first record two years later. That album’s lead single, “Mother,” is still Danzig’s biggest

hit, maintaining a place in the musical lexicon long enough to attract fans (myself included) who weren’t even born when Danzig was in his prime. But 2018 marks 30 years of leather pants, sweaty hard rock and all-around badass success for Danzig, as the band continues to display its artistic reach on 2017’s Black Laden Crown. Danzig will probably never run out of things to write or talk about, developing a reputation for being brutally honest onstage and off. As he told Rolling Stone last year, “I love putting people who are full of shit in check.” Still, 2018 was big for Danzig, as his adult comic book company, Verotik, is developing feature films based on its characters, with Danzig in a directing and music-composing role. Younger generation: Now’s your chance to experience the old school with Danzig on its 30-year anniversary tour; older generation: Hopefully you’ll welcome us with open arms. After all, Glenn Danzig is an artist, and the world is his canvas. (Rachelle Fernandez) The Complex, 536 W. 100 South, 6:30 p.m., $34.50, all ages, thecomplexslc.com

Leftover Salmon

According to Vince Herman—singer, songwriter and longtime staple of Leftover Salmon—his band interprets bluegrass as an updated form of traditional mountain music. That definition implies broader meaning in today’s musical arena, where jam band sensibilities mix freely with populist precepts. That’s why this Boulder, Colo.-based band has garnered a rabid following of free-spirited music enthusiasts whose avid devotion rivals that of Deadheads during the psychedelic swirl of an earlier era. Indeed, Leftover Salmon’s popularity recalls the patchouli and patchwork that defines the very essence of hippie grooves. The band effectively breaks down barriers, transitioning from nü-grass and country to rock and zydeco, a combination that they blithely refer to as “polyethnic Cajun slamgrass.” While that seems to imply an odd and eccentric sound, it’s really anything but. Leftover Salmon’s music is grounded in reliable rhythms and

fascinating instrumental interplay, going from rowdy and rambunctious to well-executed and skilfully sown. As an innovative outfit with an international reputation spanning nearly 30 years, and 10 albums drawn from both live and studio performances, Leftover Salmon remain consistent festival favorites, as daring, distinctive and fresh as ever.

WEDNESDAY 10/31

Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Krisiun, Visceral Disgorge, Visigoth

No matter how you like your tricks and treats, Halloween parties pop up all over town on this frightful night. But if you want to experience real horror, ditch the hokey props and expensive costumes and enter the pit at this showcase of several death metal icons. New York’s Suffocation has etched its name in grindcore history with savage technicality, downtuned guitars and wretched growls from founding lead singer Frank Mullen, who split vocal duties on 2017 album ...Of the Last Light with touring member Kevin Muller and will retire after this final tour. Hearkening back to the band’s landmark early work like Effigy of the Forgotten and Pinnacle of Bedlam, Suffocation sticks with its punishing, powerhouse formula, pummelling posers and pretenders into submission no matter who’s on the mic. Cattle Decapitation are coming up on a quartercentury of boasting the fiercest name in death metal, while Brazilian trio Krisiun has 28 years in the game thanks to the blood oath taken back in 1990 by its three brothers. Baltimore’s Visceral Disgorge and Salt Lake City’s Visigoth round out the bill, giving anyone desperate for a true night of terror the perfect Halloween destination.

RANDY'S RECORD SHOP VINYL RECORDS NEW & USED

Local favorites Talia Keys & The Love give your pre-Halloween weekend a retro spook on Saturday with their Mixtape ’84 performance. Originally formed in 2015 after her first solo album, Fool’s Gold, Keys and her backing band bring high energy and sensitive soul to every show. The band’s latest album, April’s We’re Here, highlights the specific talents of each member, but on a night like this, they’ll get to stretch their rock ’n’ roll legs by covering some of the most popular grooves from 1984, a year chock-full of big hits by iconic artists like Madonna, Prince, Van Halen, Lionel Richie, Culture Club and Cyndi Lauper. “This is my seventh annual Halloween Bash at The State Room,” Keys says. “Every year has been a tribute, [and] this year I wanted to nod to the biggest year in pop music history.” In addition to lending her striking vocals to “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” and “Dancing in the Dark,” Keys and her bandmates spend hours decorating the venue to transform the evening into a true theatrical production. Opener Dale James spins soul and funk on vinyl to get the crowd warmed up. (Kara Rhodes) The State Room, 638 S. State, 9 p.m., $15, 21+, thestateroom.com

Truth in advertising is a beautiful thing. At downtown’s Beer Bar, what you see in its prominent yellow sign is what you get: a few hundred cans and bottles of fine high-point craft brew, interspersed by 30-odd 4 percent draft choices. Four projection screens show your favorite game of sports ball, which on a recent Tuesday night was a blessing for anyone with roots in the Northeast. While enjoying an Epic Lupulin Blast New England IPA, I got to watch the Red Sox smash the Astros to take a 2-1 lead in the ALCS, followed by the Celtics beating up on the 76ers to kick off opening night of the 2018-19 NBA season. The night preceeding what was sure to be a packed house for the Utah Jazz’ first game, the crowd at Beer Bar was still solid: after-work professionals enjoying an extended happy hour; nononsense date nights; a decent crowd of soccer bros rooting on the U.S. Men’s National Team playing a friendly match against Peru that ended in a draw. A crustier crowd holds court on the smoker-friendly front patio, where you can bury your nose in a book, watch the steady traffic on 200 South or even get a little rowdy with your college friends. Food-wise, Beer Bar sticks to its alliterative nature, advertising burgers, brats and Belgian fries that go above and beyond the state-mandated food offerings. The Basque chorizo was my favorite, along with a plate of smothered fries that left me with a belly full of locally made goodness. But it’s the beers here that reign supreme—everything from limited-edition local releases to seasonal specialties from West Coast heavyweights. Call it a sports bar with style, a neighborhood joint with class or a gastropub with guts, but Beer Bar always delivers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “He believed in magic,” writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams and bat wings,” nor “dowsing rods, séances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.” Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,” like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful. What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she eagerly receptive and open-minded.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What kind of idea are you?” asks author Salmon Rushdie. “Are LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantaaims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, size extensively about what your dream home would look like ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, What colors would you paint the walls?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is no beauty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allen Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult.

Now that it’s gone, I’ve aggressively put my palm to my forehead several times to say, “Why didn’t I go there more?” or “I should have booked a meeting there!” The New Yorker restaurant is dead and done. Chances are, reader, you never ate there yourself—the demographic for City Weekly is younger than the average patron who dined there. But the history of the building and the restaurant are worth retelling. The New York Hotel building opened in 1906 with 75 rooms in the heart of Salt Lake City. This was the year in the dining world when the hot fudge sundae was created in L.A., the term “filet mignon” was first used in a book by O. Henry, and Gulden’s Mustard was trademarked. Hotel rooms generally were just a few bucks a night. Market Street, where the restaurant was located, is among the oldest developed areas in Salt Lake and is called the Exchange Place Historic District. This is where the movers and shakers of the day traded stocks and bonds, empires were built and lost and lawyers prospered. The original Federal Post Office and Courthouse sat just east of the hotel Flip ahead to the 1970s. A man came to Utah to open up his version of the famous New York disco Studio 54. He convinced the owner of the rundown New York Hotel to allow him to dig out the basement and build a club. I know, because I met the guy, and to this day have one of his business cards. He called his venture The Manhattan Bridge Co., but blew all his cash promoting the club as well as dismantling the monstrous boiler that once heated the hotel rooms. He realized his folly but decided to have a combinatio grand-opening-and-closing black-tie event, which I attended. Picture a complete dirt basement with original support beams in the ceiling. People arrived in their most sparkly dresses and Farrah Fawcett hair, tuxes with ruffled shirts and big bow ties sporting grand mullets. There was a mirror ball and lights, a DJ playing vinyl records, clouds of dust so thick you couldn’t see 10 feet across from you. The guy left town and was never heard from again. John Williams bought the building and the rest is history. The New Yorker was the finest and classiest place in town to dine during the late 1970s until after the Olympics. Many a deal was done, a birthday or anniversary celebrated there. The Oyster Bar (Market Street Grill/Restaurant) still remain upstairs on the main level, but there will never be another New Yorker. n

What a Difference an Apostrophe Makes Genevieve Snow, 29, hired a Brooklyn company, Joanna’s Cleaning Service, to spruce up her apartment on Aug. 27. It wasn’t her first transaction with the company, and she let two women in before leaving for work that day. But when one of Snow’s roommates woke up, she found one of the cleaning ladies sitting on the couch, eating. “You know when you’re not supposed to be doing something, people jerk up really quickly? They did that,” the roommate, Kristen Nepomuceno, 28, told the New York Post. Nepomuceno left for work, but when she returned around 5:30 p.m., the apartment was trashed, one of the ladies was gone, and the other was passed out on the kitchen floor next to a smashed spice rack. She quickly left and called police, who arrived to find the cleaning lady was sitting on the couch, eating ice cream. “She is ... hammered, beyond hammered,” Nepomuceno said. New York police refused to file a report, so Snow gave the cleaning service a bad review on Yelp. That’s when the owner of the company Snow had previously used, Joanna Cleaning Service, got in touch to say a former (fired) employee had started Joanna’s Cleaning Service and had taken Snow for a ride. Now Snow can’t get in touch with either Joanna and just wants to find out who’s responsible for the damage so she can sue them.

People With Too Much Time on Their Hands Producers and sellers of senbei, a type of rice cracker, joined together in Soka, Japan, on Oct. 3 to break the Guinness World Record for ... wait for it ... creating the largest rice cracker mosaic. About 200 people constructed a rendering of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” using seven different colors of rice cracker. The mosaic, according to United Press International, measured 1,250 square feet and required more than 23,000 crackers. Recurring Themes Frontier Airlines removed a passenger before takeoff from a flight from Orlando, Fla., to Cleveland on Oct. 9 because of her non-allowed “emotional support animal,” a squirrel. Passengers were alerted to a “situation” and told they needed to exit the airplane, according to 24-year-old flyer Brandon Nixon of Ashland, Ohio. “You expect the worst when they say something like that,” Nixon told the Associated Press. When he asked a flight attendant for more information, “All she said was ‘a squirrel.’” Police were called when the woman and her squirrel refused to deplane, and she was escorted through the terminal, pumping her fist in the air as she held the squirrel on her lap. Least Competent Criminal A Springfield, Mo., man took to Facebook in July to proudly demonstrate how to remove an ankle monitor. Dustin W. Burns, 33, had pleaded guilty earlier this year to violating a restraining order and was placed on probation. Authorities believe it is Burns using a butter knife and a screwdriver in the video, saying, “This is how you take an ankle bracelet off without breaking the circuit,” according to the Springfield News-Leader. The narrator advises against damaging the electronic equipment so as to avoid thousands of dollars in fines. Subsequent Facebook posts reference trips to Utah, Idaho and Oregon, and a video shows a man resembling Burns walking through a large marijuana farm with the caption “Dream come true.” He has been in the Greene County jail since Aug. 28 and was charged in early October with tampering with electronic monitoring equipment, a felony. Police Report Police officers in Richardson Forest Preserve, near Cincinnati, thought they had come across a body in a plastic trash bag dumped in the woods on Oct. 4. Instead, they found “Mandi,” a life-size female sex doll, according to Metro News. Residents from the area have erected a shrine in the doll’s memory, leaving flowers and candles along with messages, such as, “Mandi, you were taken too soon. We will remember you fondly. RIP.” The doll is thought to be an expensive, high-end model, which makes the mystery of its disposal even more perplexing. Send tips to weirdnewstips@amuniversal.com

Family Values On the day Ester Price, 95, of Pamplin, Va., was admitted to the hospital with an unexplained illness, her son-in-law, Jack David Price, 56, kindly brought her a coffee—“not an ordinary event,” according to an investigator. Doctors found signs of meth in her system, reported The News & Advance. Jack Price’s stepdaughter told the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office she suspected he was trying to kill his mother-in-law, and a neighbor said Price had once told him he should “put some meth in her drink,” then claimed to be only kidding. On Oct. 4, Price was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to two felonies.

Awesome! Kotaku.com reported on Oct. 3 that gamer Xopher credits the arcade game “Dance Dance Revolution” with restoring his health. Xopher grew up in Arkansas and loved playing DDR at arcades. But when his cardiologist told him he’d have to trim down from his 325 pounds or risk needing a heart transplant, Xopher got serious about the game. He found an “excellently priced” DDR machine on eBay and restored it, starting with just three games a night. Between 2014 and 2018 he got to under 200 pounds: “I’ve gone from a blood pressure of 140/80 to 112/65. ... I was healthy for the first time in my life.” He also said he’s now playing DDR competitively.

Inexplicable Staci Tinney of Charleston, W.Va., was expecting a bank statement when she picked up her mail on Oct. 8, but instead she found just one item in her mailbox: a laminated picture of a llama wearing sunglasses. Tinney’s surveillance video showed “a woman was hanging out of the passenger’s side of (a black pickup) truck ... removing things from my mailbox, and looked like she was putting something inside my mailbox,” Tinney said. WCHS reported other neighbors also were missing mail and packages that day. Tinney told reporters the mail thieves claimed to be “handing out wedding invitations,” but she was dubious: “We don’t know anybody who knows a llama personally.” Charleston police are investigating.

Weird Science? Officials in Midway, Ark., still don’t know what caused flames to shoot out of a hole in the ground on Sept. 17. Volunteer fire chief Donald Tucker was summoned to private property at the edge of town where the flames were shooting up to 12 feet high, reported the Springfield News-Leader. Tucker inspected the site after the fire subsided and said the 2-foot-diameter hole was about 3 feet deep and made a 45-degree turn at the bottom. “I took a temperature reading of it and it showed 780 degrees inside the hole,” he added, but he couldn’t identify the source of the flames. There are no gas lines nearby, and there was no smell of gas before or during the fire. He also ruled out a meteor strike or flaming space junk. Geologists from the Arkansas Geological Survey inspected the hole and concluded it had been dug by an animal, but they took soil samples for testing. County judge Mickey Pendergrass said Satan had also been ruled out.
