I’m an avid reader of your publication. I am not a grammar or spelling genius by any means, and have from time to time noticed the occasional typo in your stories or advertisements that I have easily ignored. However, this week, I feel compelled to comment on the obvious error in the cover story. Where is “Grant County?” Do you mean, Grand County, Utah—where the town of Cisco is located?

This is a blatant error that should have been caught by someone before publication!

No separation of church and state here. Some churches really do think it’s OK to break the law. Thomas Jefferson stated for them a long time ago: “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation

between church and state.”

OPINION

The Lady Weeps

Designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartoli, she stands in the mouth of upper New York Harbor, holding her light as a beacon for the persecuted, “wretched refuse” of the world—or, as President Donald Trump describes them, the Latino rapists and murderers, the gooks who constantly embarrass natural-born Americans with their superior Asian intellects and work ethic, the blacks who too often find themselves targets for bored, restless peace officers, and suspected would-be terrorists who are willing to end their earthly existence for martyrdom and the joys of 72 grinning virgins.

As the symbol of America’s heart-felt empathy for a troubled world, Miss Liberty has welcomed the tired, poor, oppressed and those yearning for freedom for the past 132 years.

Well, we thought it could never happen but the time has come to tear down the Lady. Why should we consider such an extreme act? The answer’s simple: She is no longer the symbol of a nurturing “Mother of Exiles,” and if we, as loyal Americans, are going to support the inflammatory rhetoric of our combed-over lunatic-of-a president, her removal is a foregone conclusion. With every tear that falls from Liberty’s copper cheeks, the salty road to freedom gets deeper and darker. Her torch flickers.

But, wait a minute; I’m having an epiphany—oh, yes, I can see it clearly: The tragedy of that ominously looming event can be averted. Instead of razing the lovely Lady, there is an alternative.

Far better than a funeral, Miss Liberty can be retrofitted

BY MICHAEL S. ROBINSON SR. with the appropriate accoutrements of our time. Sandals will no longer suffice. Let’s nestle her feet in copper combat boots; put a riot-shielded helmet on her head, a flak jacket over her ample bosom, and embrace, in her welcoming arms, the latest mass-killing weaponry. That’s at least a good start.

But what about the inscription on her base—the words of Emma Lazarus who penned the entreating message?

Surely, a Trumpian poet will be found and commissioned. With a few crossthroughs and substitutions, Lazarus’ words can be edited to better reflect the values of the presidency—a new and improved version to fit our time.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddle masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside her golden door.” It was the great songwriter Irving Berlin, Russian immigrant and naturalized citizen, who put those inspiring words to music.

But the song will have to be revised as well. Here’s the proposed rewrite: Give me your oil-rich Norwegians and best Russian IT hackers, stunningly beautiful women who aren’t adverse to having their pussies grabbed, filthy-rich investors who seek penthouses in the Trump Tower, and don’t send anyone who has the audacity to criticize the nonsensical ramblings of the rabid orange raccoon’s erratic leadership.

And, of course, a stanza will be added musically embracing the doctrine that any professional wall-builders will be given immediate citizenship. As per The Boss’s instructions, it goes without saying: The flowing gown of Miss Liberty will have to be hiked up a bit for easier access.

Irving Berlin’s lyrics will be replaced with words of harsh reality, and there will be a rousing chorus: “Fuck the poor; screw the blacks; use the women for what they were intended; send the ragheads back where they came from, and bow down to money—the one and only god. Give us your filthy rich, your whites and your dyed-inthe-wool Republicans sheep.” (Maybe not so poetic, but it’s really the substance that counts.)

But here’s the caveat: There’s a chance Miss Liberty can be saved and that her words can be sung with fervor and pride by generations to come. I realize that indiscriminate immigration is not a legitimate choice, but we need to remember that She is the embodiment of America’s deepest core values. For God’s sake, let’s be the great nation we once were. Not by building walls, not by incarcerating children, not by echoing the racial and religious hate fomented by the world’s most reprehensible and ruthless despots, but by embracing the values of compassion and love that have been so profoundly missing since January 2017. CW

I REALIZE THAT INDISCRIMINATE IMMIGRATION IS NOT A LEGITIMATE CHOICE, BUT WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT SHE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF AMERICA’S DEEPEST CORE VALUES.

HITS&MISSES

BY KATHARINE BIELE @kathybiele

Too Little, Too Much

Get ready. You can almost count down the days each year to when Utah officially starts talking about sex. Of course, the State Board of Education is much more interested in sex than it is about, say, math or science—or certainly biology. The debate over new guidelines for sex-ed centers on whether teachers spend too much time talking about sex (how it works) and too little about abstinence (how it doesn’t work).

“Our state is a family-based state, and we need to uphold that,” board member Lisa Cummins said in a Salt Lake Tribune story.

Of course, in order to have families, you have to have sex, but Cummins knows that—secretly. Then there’s Rep. Justin Fawson, R-North Ogden, who we think is ready to tackle pornography. We “think” because this is how his proposal went from sex-ed to porn. “Often we have willow trees when we start and whittle them down to toothpicks,” he said. “I’d say this is a mighty fine toothpick we have here.”

Doobie Vision

This is why Utah needs two major daily newspapers.

We’ll start with the medical cannabis issue. In The Salt Lake Tribune, you get: “What’s a voter to believe about medical pot?” an article that fact checks all the garbage that’s been spewn over Proposition 2, and there weren’t a lot of “true” findings in it. Of course, the article mentioned the Eagle Forum’s Gayle Ruzicka, and later gave her an oped to continue her diabtribe. The Deseret News, on the other hand, asked readers to vote against Prop 2, and ran these articles: “Two police groups voice concerns on Proposition 2,” and “Church leader sees confusion over Proposition 2.” On another subject altogether, the Trib ran this correct headline: “GOP candidate for Salt Lake County clerk files suit against her opponent,” and the News ran this misleading one: “Candidates file lawsuit against S.L. County clerk.”

Make Utah Scenic Again

You might think that billboards are a political issue, what with all the candidates’ faces on them. But the ubiquitous signs go way beyond campaigning, and even beyond campaign money donated by billboard companies. Billboards are big business, as former Mayor Ralph Becker knows too well. He and his wife are starting Scenic Utah to combat the blight billboards cause, not only in cities but also along scenic byways. Becker, the Trib ays, wants to lobby the Legislature, which often sides with the billboard companies, to toughen state regulations. While some states ban billboards altogether, Utah and others have grandfather clauses that don’t let you take them down. This will be a good fight, but it won’t be an easy one.

Making Women’s Achievements Publik

Inside one local photographer’s celebration of women’s lives and successes within the Beehive State.

BY KELAN LYONS klyons@cityweekly.net @kelan_lyons

“I think the importance is exposing others to what’s going on in our community and state,” photographer Nico Marsh says of the significance of her 100 Strong Women of Utah Portrait Campaign.

| CITY WEEKLY |

NOVEMBER 8, 2018 | 11

as a way to tell their story but also keep it anonymous.”

Christina Rojas was eager to use the space to honor her mother’s memory and depict her hard-won, happy life. Rojas suffered from depression after her mother died several years ago. “I decided I had to change for my kids,” she says. Just more than three years ago she started La Cubana, a catering service, food stand and food truck that sells Cuban food Rojas makes from her mom’s recipes. The business fulfills a daydream Rojas and her mother shared almost 20 years ago. Rojas rebuilt herself and found happiness, accomplishments she was proud to personify in Marsh’s series.

“None of us are coming out as victims. We’ve all suffered, we’ve all had to endure, and we are stronger than any man who wants to stand up against us,” Rojas says. “We’re stepping up to the plate saying, ‘We deserve to be treated right.’”

Rojas suggests that each woman Marsh photographed is a part of a special group. The independent women allowed themselves to be vulnerable and came out even stronger than before Marsh shot their portraits. “This confidence that we have,” Rojas says, summarizing her pride in five short words. “There’s a huge group of us, and we’re not alone. We’re strong.”

Christmann is excited to bring her 12-year-old daughter to the show at Publik—which Rojas’ La Cubana is catering—so she can experience “strong women, strong community, strong coffee.” Christmann expects it to be empowering for a young mind. “I think as a young lady it’s nice to see how many different careers there are, different bodies, people of different cultures,” she says.

Rojas and Williams hope people leave the show feeling inspired. “I hope they walk out of there feeling a little taller, a little stronger and a little bit brave,” Rojas says.

“I hope mothers and daughters leave there thinking, ‘I can be more,’” she adds. “And that they’re also enough. They don’t have to be more. They can just be who they are.” CW

known each other for about a decade, and Christmann was interested in helping her friend place strong Utah women in the limelight.

Twenty years ago, Christmann was diagnosed with epilepsy, a neurological disorder she says is often misunderstood by the general public. Participating in Strong Women of Utah allowed her to be the face of women in Utah who live with epilepsy. “Being an advocate was really important,” she says.

Marsh had some emotionally heavy conversations with the women she photographed as she’d try to make them comfortable during the shoot. “I heard this from numerous people, that they called me the ‘photo therapist,’” she says. But those talks inspired her and fed her passion to keep taking portraits, she says. “When you’re exposed to different things in the world and in your city, there’s a responsibility to share that with others.”

Despite ongoing national conversations about the #MeToo Movement, the Women’s March and the spike in the number of women running for office, Marsh’s goal isn’t politically motivated. She says emphasizing politics implies women are damaged victims and passive participants in a world dominated by men.

She wanted to elevate and celebrate women and their positions in the state—not portray them as wounded souls struggling to stay afloat.

Marsh might have left politics out of her motivation, but that doesn’t mean she stopped subjects from making their own political or social statements. Local artist Tracy Williams used her portrait as a sort of social art experiment. “It was a great opportunity for me to show my artistic side,” she says.

Williams splashed paint all over her body and hair when she was photographed. On her legs, she wrote words like, “rape,” “molestation,” “colorism” and “suicide”—all issues within Pacific Islander communities that she has talked about with friends and family members. “I wanted to speak up for those who are scared to do it,” she says. “I wanted to use this platform and art

ico Marsh started out by taking portrait photographs of a few of her friends. In search of a project, she decided to spotlight strong women in Utah, an undertaking that quickly grew thanks to word-of-mouth. Six months later, Marsh has taken 15,000 pictures of 130 women who reside in Salt Lake City, Provo and Park City.

“I thought with the timing with what’s being showcased with women, it would be a good idea to highlight what’s going on in Utah, and women here,” she says.

“I noticed with everything that was going on with the #MeToo Movement and this huge focus on women, that there wasn’t really anyone featuring what women were doing in Utah.”

Marsh’s vision has since grown into the 100 Strong Women of Utah Portrait Campaign, a collection of photos that honor women’s identities and achievements and rejects the idea that women suffer at the hands of a male-dominated society. Marsh’s subjects are mothers and daughters, CEOs and architects, politicians and law-enforcement officers. Their ages range from 5 to 70, and they are diverse in terms of their races, ethnicities and professions. “There’s not just one way of living or one way of thinking, so I wanted to make sure I was capturing all different types of women and backgrounds,” Marsh, who is Cuban American, says.

Among those photographed is Jenny Wilson, the Democrat who put up a valiant fight against Mitt Romney, v ying to become the first Utah woman elected to the U.S Senate. “I appreciate that she recognizes that there are amazing leaders in the community, and many of them happen to be women,” Wilson says of Marsh.

More than 100 of Marsh’s portraits will be displayed from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15, at Publik Coffee Roasters, 975 S. West Temple. Live music and food will underscore the party-like atmosphere the photographer hopes to convey. “I want these women to feel celebrated,” Marsh says, “because we are not victims.”

Marsh gave each woman she photographed the opportunity to dress or outfit themselves in the way they wanted to be seen. The idea was to celebrate each person’s professional and personal identities—to give them the chance to draw attention to issues or personality characteristics important to them, and to present them as they are, not as an idealized version of themselves.

“I think there’s something really beautiful about being vulnerable and sharing your weaknesses,” Marsh says.

Mika Christmann was the first person photographed in the South Salt Lake studio Marsh shares with her husband and where she shot all the portraits. They’d

More serious offenders, about 18,000 annually, spend significant time behind bars. But the facility has only 2,200 beds, meaning there is significant turnover. On any day, more than 2,000 inmates are housed there.

Some are violent offenders. But most are convicted of non-violent crimes, such as burglary, theft, larceny or drug offenses. Many are drug users, who can arrive at the jail with health issues. Providing security, health and safety is a challenge, even with an annual budget of about $100 million.

The operation, critics say, is hampered by employee turnover and resulting staffing shortage, a culture that doesn’t always put inmate well-being as the top priority and a health-care system that is less than perfect.

nmate safety at Salt Lake County Jail isn’t guaranteed, even for those incarcerated for minor infractions, such as DUI or possession of drug paraphernalia. They can be beaten to death, die by suicide or die in their cells of medical complications.

It’s not the only jail with such problems, as inmate deaths plague lockups across the country. Still, Utah led the nation in per-capita jail deaths in 2016 with 24. That number dropped to seven in 2017, but four of those deaths occurred at the Salt Lake County Jail.

The facility is inundated by arrests throughout the county, particularly those for minor offenses, such as possession or sale of small amounts of drugs. Often, suspects are booked and released on the same day, or spend one

n Scott Osterkamp, 32, died in his cell while serving a 62-day sentence for DUI. He contracted Hepatitis A at the jail and also suffered a broken arm after falling from his bunk. He went untreated and died of liver failure, despite his and his exwife’s pleas for medical assistance. n Lisa Marie Ostler, 37, died of an abdominal infection after being jailed for possession of drug paraphernalia. She begged for medical aid as she lay dying in pain but was denied because the guards and medical personnel believed she was faking it—“gaming” the system. n Daniel Davis, 39, arrested after a domestic dispute, was beaten to death by another inmate as guards looked on. The assailant, a “unit worker” with special privileges, was being held on charges of aggravated assault before the deadly attack. n David Walker, 48, accused of child molestation, was said to have taken his own life. But for days leading up to his death, he told his mother over the phone that, “They are going to kill me. They are going to kill me.” His accusers had already left the state and his Mazda Miata convertible disappeared at the same time.

There is little information on the complainants or the car.

About half of Utah jail deaths are the result of suicide. The second-leading cause of death is illness.

Since 2005, 149 deaths have been reported in Utah county jails. (Not all deaths are reported.) But under state law, neither county jails nor the Utah State Prison can be held liable for “negligence” when inmates die.

In order for families to seek redress, they must demonstrate “deliberate indifference,” which is an exceedingly difficult legal burden. In most cases, it cannot be met, according to the 1996 Utah Supreme Court case of Ross v. Shackel.

A dissenting opinion by Justice Daniel Stewart put it this way: “Incarcerated persons are not entitled to competent medical treatment and have no legal remedy for negligent treatment that may endanger one’s health or life, unless the malpractice is either so extreme as to constitute ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ or is fraudulent or malicious,” he wrote. “In effect, prisoners are treated as a subspecies of the human race who are not entitled to reasonable, competent medical care.”

Further, Utah is one of 20 states that does not require jail inspections or independent oversight.

The lack of transparency makes it difficult to track the effectiveness of healthand-safety protocols, said Leah Farrell, staff attorney for the Utah affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union. The outcome, she says, is that county jails lack accountability for inmate well-being.

Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera oversees the jail. She was appointed to the position on Aug. 15, 2017, by the County Council after Sheriff Jim Winder resigned and became Moab’s chief of police.

In interviews, Rivera, as well as veteran jail chief deputies Matt Dumont and Kevin Harris, contend the jail provides excellent health services, as well as mental-health care for inmates.

“They get better care here than they would in the hospital,” Dumont says.

A significant number of inmates are drug and alcohol users who have health issues when they’re booked, Dumont explains: “For some folks who come into the jail, this medical care is the only medical care they get.”

Medical and mental-health care are accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, which recently audited the jail, Dumont says, adding the organization gave it a positive evaluation.

The well-being of inmates is the focus of the administration, the chief deputy adds. “We train all our staff to treat people with dignity and respect.”

But according to families, as well as current and former jail employees, the systems can break down at times, with serious consequences. Beyond that, two insiders allege the culture among the deputy sheriffs who run the jail has become more callous in recent years, leading to a lack of compassion and humanity toward inmates. And family members contend they’ve been treated poorly when visiting, and later received only sketchy information about the deaths of their loved ones.

Tonya Brown-Osterkamp is a nurse who works at Intermountain Medical Center (IMC) in Murray, which treats inmates in critical condition. She and her late ex-husband, Scott Osterkamp, have two sons, ages 8 and 11. The couple remained close after their divorce and Tonya called or visited Scott daily while he was serving his 62-day sentence.

Over and over again, Scott and Tonya asked jail officials to provide him medical care, she explains. On numerous occasions, Tonya called the jail’s nurse line and left messages, which never were answered. On Jan. 7, several days before his death, Tonya approached a deputy sheriff after visiting her ex-husband. “I told one

out for help. Inmates around Ostler’s cell began asking for assistance—each cell has an emergency button—only to be told: “Mind your own fucking business and shut the fuck up,” by the guard on duty, according to her father, Cal Ostler.

The deputy apparently believed the inmate was going through heroin withdrawal, though her medical intake exam determined she was sober. Cal Ostler, a former investigator for the Utah State Medical Examiner, recently interviewed four inmates housed near his daughter. One told him that the guard said, “It feels like you’re going to die, doesn’t it?” At one point the deputy threatened to “write up” the woman for continuing to push the emergency button in her cell, Cal Ostler says.

Nurses on duty did not check her pulse, blood pressure or temperature, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court on behalf of Cal Ostler by attorney Rocky Anderson.

Nurses on duty apparently did not inform physicians of Ostler’s requests for help.

Shortly after 8 a.m. on April 2, she was found unresponsive in her cell and pronounced dead. Lisa Marie Ostler leaves three children, ages 7, 13 and 14.

Anybody believing their loved ones are safe in the Salt Lake County Jail is fooling themselves, Cal Ostler declares. “Your child is going to die in jail ... These aren’t the Ted Bundys, these are kids who made mistakes.”

Ostler’s suit alleges deliberate indifference by guards, nurses and a doctor. The action also cites the deaths of inmates Carlos Umana, 20, Alexa Hamme, 25, Lindsey Goggin, 25 and Dustin Bliss, 29, who died in jail from health complications due to a lack of medical attention.

Many troubling health and safety issues at the jail are a direct result of a lack of effective leadership, according to a deputy sheriff, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

At best, working at the jail is a difficult job and many veteran deputies are leaving. More and more, the facility is staffed with relatively young and inexperienced jailers. New recruits, the deputy said, can be influenced by older colleagues who take an act-tough attitude when dealing with inmates.

Many staff members do not communicate with inmates in a civil manner, the deputy explains. Inmates react according to how they are treated. When they are bossed around or bullied, they can become angry, the deputy says.

“If you don’t have a compassionate nature and aren’t there to serve your community, you’re not going to be happy there,” the deputy believes.

Unlike times past, there’s a dearth of positive reinforcement from jail administrators, the deputy complains. There was a time when “we felt valued. But the current administration treats us worse than the inmates. Everyone is scared to death of getting into trouble.”

Families of deceased inmates say they have been treated poorly by jail staff. Among them are John and Deborah Walker, whose son, David Walker, 48, had been brain dead for 20 hours before jail personnel contacted them. On Sept. 6, they rushed to IMC where David was on life-support and shackled to a bed. Upon their arrival, a deputy

of the guards that my husband is confused and is turning yellow and he’s not getting any medical care. The guard said Scott might have to turn in multiple requests before getting seen.”

On Jan. 10, she was told she couldn’t visit Scott because he was in the infirmary. The following day, Tonya was at work when her mother called to say that deputies came to their house and said Scott was done with his sentence and they could pick up his belongings at the jail.

“I’m thinking, something is wrong,” she recalls. “I called the operator at IMC and asked if Scott was in the hospital. They told me he was in shock-trauma. I immediately ran over there and he was on life support.”

He was pronounced dead when he was removed from the respirator.

Tonya and her sons are traumatized from his death. “My kids are without a father,” she laments. “I think it’s horrible. The jail is inhumane. People in jail have rights. They are human beings.”

Sheriff Rivera says she cannot comment on specific cases for various reasons, including that some remain under investigation and others are in litigation. But she contends that her staff treats the families of deceased inmates with courtesy and offers as much information as possible.

Every life is important, Dumont adds. “We don’t want anyone to die—these are people,” he says regarding inmates. “When something happens to anyone under our custody, our staff takes it personally.”

The Salt Lake County Jail contracts with a private firm called Wellcon for medical services at a cost of $1.4 million annually. The county pays the firm an additional $735,000 for mental-health services. Wellcon did not respond to a request for an interview. But according to the company’s website, “Dr. Todd R. Wilcox has served as the medical director of the Salt Lake County Jail System for 16 years. During his tenure, he has assisted Salt Lake County in transforming its health-care system into one of the most modern and technologically advanced correctional systems in the country.”

Nurses are on duty 24/7 at the jail. Wellcon physicians make regular rounds during daytime and evening hours. Doctors are on call on a 24-hour basis. But insiders and inmate family members contend medical and mental-health care is sporadic, even when inmates display serious symptoms.

On March, 29, 2016, Lisa Marie Ostler, 37, was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia but was not intoxicated when she was booked into jail, according to an intake exam. (Winder was then sheriff.) Ostler had suffered from Crohn’s Disease, a serious gastrointestinal disorder. A decade earlier, she had undergone gastric bypass surgery to help alleviate symptoms. An autopsy revealed that her intestine began leaking into her abdomen at the site of the surgery.

Ostler began to complain of abdominal pain on the afternoon of April 1, 2016, according to a jail report. One inmate interviewed for this story said Ostler was in agony and crying

sheriff told them they could not enter his room without an appointment.

“I said, my son is brain dead and I can’t go in there to say goodbye? You’ve got to be kidding me,” Deborah Walker recalls. She described the deputy as “callous and sneering.”

After a phone call to a second attorney, who alerted county authorities, the Walkers were allowed to enter the room. “When we finally got in there, he was shackled on both legs and arms, as though he was a danger to someone,” she says.

David Walker was arrested on June 19, after an 8-year-old girl who was staying in the house where he lived said he had touched her inappropriately. Walker was renting a room in the house where a woman and her daughter were visiting a relative who was the lease holder. He remained in jail pending a hearing but his accusers had left the state. His Mazda also had gone missing. Walker maintained his innocence, telling his mother, “I don’t know what’s going on.”

Complicating matters, law enforcement authorities had confused David Walker with a man by the same name who had been convicted of aggravated assault in Indiana. The Utahn was mistakenly treated as a dangerous felon.

In telephone calls to his mother, David said he feared for his safety in jail, where he was known as a child molester. “He’d call me four times a day and say he was afraid of the inmates and the staff,” Deborah Walker said. “He said they were going to kill him.”

With each passing day, David Walker grew more desperate. On Sept. 4, he told his mother, “I don’t know how this happened but they are going to kill me and this is fuckin’ real.” Two days later, the Walkers got a call from a lieutenant at the jail. “He said David has been transported [to IMC] and it doesn’t look good,” Deborah Walker says.

Jail officials say David Walker hanged himself with a bedsheet. The family, however, does not believe he took his own life. They have yet to receive autopsy results from the medical examiner.

“He didn’t deserve to die,” Deborah Walker says. “Nobody deserves for this to happen.”

Mental-health care for jail inmates is lacking, says a former employee, who, fearing reprisals, spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We are therapists but we had no office and there is no therapy being done,” the former employee says. “They only call us when someone is acting out.”

Among the duties of the mental health-care workers is to distribute medications prescribed previously by personal physicians or doctors at the jail. “But inmates were not always given their meds,” the therapist admits. “The refrain in the jail was that the inmates were gaming the system and would sell their drugs.”

Jail policy forbids the use of some medications, including methadone, a replacement therapy for heroin addiction. In many cases, heroin addicts are left to go through painful and potentially harmful withdrawals.

Most people booked into the jail are not there for violent offenses. Many are charged

with crimes somehow related to drug or alcohol use. But it also houses violent criminals.

Thirty nine-year-old Daniel Davis had a volatile, off-and-on relationship with his girlfriend. He was arrested July 15 after a domestic altercation—he had violated a court protective court order. Davis was incarcerated awaiting a hearing date when he was beaten to death Aug 4. After exchanging verbal barbs with another inmate, he was decked with a sucker punch, according to his mother, Judy Davis. The assailant then put his foot on the right shoulder of the prone inmate and punched him in the head 22 times. The assault was captured on the jail’s video system. A guard responded with pepper spray but did not otherwise physically intervene, according to policy. The assailant was a “unit worker,” given extra privileges for responsibilities inside the lockup.

Daniel Davis’ sister, Ashlie McCracken, said the family was provided with few details following the attack. “They called me and said something has happened to your brother,” McCracken said. “They told us he’d been released from all charges and we should go to the hospital and make some decisions.”

Daniel Davis suffered traumatic brain injury. When his mother and sister arrived at the hospital, he had a tube in his head to drain fluid and was comatose. He soon succumbed to the injuries. He leaves a 10-year-old son.

Although Daniel Davis would verbally joust, he wasn’t a fighter, his mother explains.

“Daniel was more of a it’s-not-worth-a-fight guy,” she says. “What happened to my son— it felt like my heart was being ripped out.”

McCracken wonders why the jail would have an inmate charged with assault acting as a unit worker. “Daniel is a victim. He didn’t ask to be killed in jail,” she says.

In an interview on Fox 13, Sheriff Rivera says Davis’ death is an inherent risk of incarceration. “There are times when inmates are going to get in altercations,” she explains.

Judy Davis finds the explanation hurtful and it leaves her angry. She wonders why the sheriff didn’t accept any responsibility. “My goal is to expose the jail for how rotten they are,” she says. “They should not treat families like this. Daniel was a son, father and uncle. The jail made him out to be a thug.”

Todd Weiler, a Republican state legislator from Davis County, is pushing for better oversight of jails, but it’s been a challenge to get such legislation passed, he says. It’s important to have transparency and accountability, he adds.

But legislators feel little pressure to make changes because the general public is not concerned with inmate well-being and doesn’t want more tax dollars spent on jails.

Until Utah lawmakers determine that independent oversight could improve conditions and save lives, accountability will go wanting. CW

“What is the cost of your looking beyond the mark, of pursuing ideals to ruinous ends? In a moment of judgment, what will you regret?

What—or who—matters most? What governs your affections and actions?” These are the questions The Bridge prompts viewers to examine, Andrew Maxfield, co-creator of the multi-genre dance and music performance, says.

The performance was inspired by Ambrose Bierce’s classic short story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, which follows a civilian on the fringes of the Civil War, who, guided by ideology, finds himself trapped by the enemy, on the brink of near-certain death. But The Bridge is more than a retelling, Maxfield says. “This is a reinterpretation or reimagination of the story’s DNA through the media of dance and music, made real through the performers who inhabit the work, spinning connective tissues from Bierce’s Victorian prose to our present lived experience.”

The Bridge melds the moves of the Salt Contemporary Dance company with music by Stuart Maxfield, singer and bassist of local altrock band Fictionist. “There is the convergence of creative elements. It’s chemistry and physics and art, all at once. The dance—a co-creation between choreographer Brendan Duggan and Salt dancers—hasn’t existed before now. The music … is all-new, totally fresh and amazing. The set design is elaborate, surprising, beautiful,” Michelle Nielsen, Salt’s artistic director, says. “Each person is pouring heart and soul into the show.”

The haunting performance makes its world premiere this weekend at Kingsbury Hall. It’s a timely contemplation of the weight of our choices and the cost of our ideologies. (Naomi Clegg) Salt Contemporary Dance: The Bridge @ Kingsbury Hall, 1395 E. Presidents Circle, 801-581-7100, Nov. 8-10, 7:30 p.m., $5-$20, utahpresents.org

As the end of daylight saving time brings us to dark and chilly days, it’s a perfect opportunity for a downtown artistic spectacle that lights up those nights with beautifully unique creations.

The second annual Illuminate Light Art & Technology Festival—created by the Utah Arts Alliance—offers a free weekend showcase for dozens of artists working in the media of light and technology to dazzle visitors.

Reflecting on the public response to last year’s inaugural event, which drew about 13,000 visitors, UAA’s Derek Dyer recalls, “One of the things that stood out to me was, I got essentially the same response from a 7-year-old girl and a woman around 92 years old. They both almost word-for-word said, ‘This is magical.’ … It’s not like Christmas lights; it’s artistic expression using a unique medium.”

Locations on Regent Street and at The Gateway provide the venues for the live art pieces, music and performances, plus kid-friendly animated films curated by the Utah Film Center.

A variety of “augmented reality” experiences are available through the official festival app, including interactive components and the opportunity to win a trophy for finding them all. The event wraps up with a 21+ ticketed “After Glo” party at a venue in The Gateway. New this year is a partnership with the Clark Planetarium that allows artists to make use of the laser technology in the Dome Theater to create specialized art installations. “I’ve been wanting to do this since the old Hansen Planetarium space,” Dyer says. “It’s cool that, 15 years later, we could make that happen.”

The Utah Symphony is celebrating the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein, one of America’s foremost composers, by teaming up with the Utah Opera to stage his satirical operetta Candide.

Based on a 1759 novel of the same name by the French philosopher Voltaire, Candide tells the story of a young man’s globetrotting journey from riches to rags and eventual happiness with his one true love, Cunegonde. While there is plenty of drama following Candide’s journey, including harassment from heartless aristocrats and piracy attacks, the show offers plenty of laughs as it skewers the wealthy and the unduly optimistic.

Even if you’re unfamiliar with this work, you’ve probably encountered Bernstein’s music before as he composed the score for West Side Story.

Works like West Side Story and Candide showcase not only Bernstein’s innovative composing style that mixed traditional Jewish music, jazz and theater, but also his deeply-held beliefs of promoting and fostering progressive social change and challenging a status quo that would dehumanize and harm others.

If you haven’t had your fill of Candide when all of the musicians and singers have taken a bow, there will be a fundraising soiree afterward at 8 p.m. on Saturday. This event is full of food and drink from around the world, with tickets at $250, $1,000 and $10,000. If that’s a little out of your price range, there is an drawing for a Viking River European Cruise for two ($50 a ticket) available from Heather Weinstock at 801-8699011 or hweinstock@usuo.org.

The Torah—the sacred scrolls that contain the fundamental teachings of the Jewish faith— shares the story of Abraham and his wife, Sarah, whose tent was open on all four sides to welcome travellers coming from all directions.

With that precedent in mind, the I.J. and Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center of Salt Lake City invites the community to attend its annual Jewish Arts Festival, featuring an array of games, food, crafts, children’s activities, educational programming and cultural enrichment for people of all ages.

“The goal of the Jewish Arts Festival is to showcase the best of Jewish arts and culture in an inclusive environment,” Rita Skolnick, the center’s community special events program coordinator, says via email.

Activities include a performance of “Belly Laughs: Comedy That Cooks,” featuring comic, author and foodie entrepreneur Joel Chasnoff and chef Lior Lev Sercarz (pictured); a catered Shabbat dinner featuring the Tribeca Ensemble, Utah’s premier young musician chamber music group; and a Hanukkah market featuring local vendors, other non-profits and various cultural arts institutions.

Given the division, lack of discourse and tragic events that recently transpired at a Pittsburgh synagogue, there might be no better way to demonstrate how people of different faiths can open not only their doors, but open their hearts as well. “Education through the arts promotes understanding and tolerance between cultures,” Skolnick suggests. We would have to agree. (Lee Zimmerman) Jewish Arts Festival @ I.J, and Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center, 2 N.

epending on how you look at things, Katharine Coles’ Look Both Ways has been a journey 17 years in the making, or maybe more than 20 years, or perhaps more than 90 years. When you go diving into a complicated family history, it’s easy to get lost.

Coles—a University of Utah professor of English and one-time Poet Laureate of Utah—took on the subject of her own maternal grandparents, Miriam and Walter Link, through journals and correspondence that Miriam passed on to Coles. Although Miriam and Walter were trained as geologists, upon their marriage in 1927, only Walter went to work for Standard Oil, leading him to exploratory surveys in places like South America and Indonesia.

Miriam, meanwhile, was left to domestic life—and to a growing dissatisfaction that bubbled into various romantic affairs, including the man who was to become the husband of Miriam’s own sister.

On that level, Coles’ book was an extremely personal project, and one that

Miriam & Walter Link, 1927

COURTESY KATHARINE COLES

uncovered details that had previously been unknown to family members. “There were a lot of pieces of this that were family lore,” Coles says. “It was sort of rumored that [Miriam] had this romance with a Dutch pilot. It was known in the family that the man who married her sister at least had a flirtation [with her], or they’d been in love in some way. But I think the extent of those romances, the lengths to which they finally went, was a surprise.

“My mother just finished the book,” Coles adds. “She said, ‘I think I never wanted to know that much about my parents.’”

For Coles, knowing this information wasn’t necessarily the same as knowing what to do with it. Although she first came into possession of the documents in the mid-1990s, Coles wrestled with how to apply her own writing skills to Miriam and Walter’s story, initially thinking they might become subjects for her poetry before considering a project on a larger scale. “There was a moment when I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll write a novel,’” she says. “Then I thought, ‘I don’t think I can write a novel that’s as interesting as what actually happened.’ The other thing was, their own language was so compelling. I knew my grandmother had wanted to be a writer, and hadn’t quite put that all together. Then I realized my grandfather had wanted to be a writer as well. So I thought, ‘OK, let them be writers.’”

While it would have been easy for Coles simply to chronicle the gender dynamics of an early-20th-century American marriage through the documents, she ultimately realized that she was becoming part of the story.

Through the pages of Look Both Ways, Coles revisits the places where her grandparents lived and worked. That physical experience was important to her process of understanding her own place in this family history.

“I share with both of my grandparents this sense of wanderlust,” Coles says, “this feeling that if I only do it online or through archives, there’s something textural or palpable that I’m missing, that I’m not experiencing in a first-hand way the layers of history that a place comprises.”

That first-hand process also led her to the realization that this multi-generational story could explore the constraints placed on women, and the ways in which those constraints have loosened over time, yet still remain, as she was able to see as a woman traveling alone in countries where such behavior could be considered dangerous.

“One of the things that really opened up for me was understanding the frustrations that my mother, my grandmother, my great-

grandmother faced, as brilliant, gifted, totally thwarted women—what it must have been like for them,” Coles says. “And to be, myself, exerting my own freedom now, and even now feeling the resistance that the culture puts up against a woman exerting the kind of freedom I was insisting upon.”

Still, the book remained incomplete for years, to the point where Coles says she believed “I was never going to finish it.” Then, in the fall of 2016, she recalls two friends who’d read earlier versions asking about the status of Look Both Ways, coincidentally around the time of the election campaign of that year.

“I thought, ‘Well, I’ll just go back and read it again,’” she says. “And something clicked with the politics of the moment. I think that I really had to be that annoyed, even though I was able to exercise so much freedom and privilege, about that constant fear that has been so well-articulated over the past two years. … So the juxtaposition that the book takes about how far things have come, which is true, at the same time, there was this sudden realization of how fragile that progress is, and in some ways how illusory it is. I do think there was a sense in which the historical moment clicked this shut, in a way that I had not been able to do.” CW

dedicate their next business venture to this fresh, piscine cultural experience. And while it’s hard to get fresh ahi to the middle of the desert, it would take more than that bit of geographical hardship to dissuade the Zouras family from their objective. As ambitious as this idea was, Laid Back Poke

| CITY WEEKLY |

Jimmy and Deanna Zouras opened the Shack in 2015—a marked departure from their Francophile café and bakery, Gourmandise. Their interest in poke was piqued when the Zourases tried it for the first time during a trip to the islands. Their experience was so profound that they decided to

Once you’ve decided on the proteins, you have the option to finish the bowl off with all kinds of tasty toppings at no extra charge. As poke and rice aren’t the most texturally diverse duo, I suggest sticking to toppings that will add some crunch.

The English cucumbers, edamame and Maui onions all are good choices, and the imitation krab can help take the bite out of some of the Shack’s more fiery options while being delicious on its own.

While I fully recognize that poke has become a hot-ticket culinary trend, I’m wary to write Laid Back Poke Shack off as a one-trick pony that stumbled upon the next big thing. The Zouras family appreciates food, and their commitment to sharing this Hawaiian treasure with the rest of us reflects that appreciation.

Poke places have started popping up all over the place, but the folks running Laid Back are true believers in every sense of the word. CW

L

ast year, Laid Back Poke Shack (6213 S. Highland Drive, Holladay, 801-635-8190, laidbackpokeshack.com) made my Best of Utah list in a big way. It was my first exposure to the Hawaiian comfort food staple known as poke (pronounced po-keh), which spoke directly to my food-pile-loving heart.

It’s got the same genetic makeup as sushi—ahi tuna, rice, seaweed—but on a much more casual level. Instead of arriving at the table demurely wrapped in nori, poke is piled high on top of a bowl of rice in glorious heaps—its level of casual familiarity lends itself to large, nonjudgmental portions.

the Lilikoi Bowl combines spicy ahi and wasabi ahi with cucumbers and Maui onions for a fresh, flavorful kick of heat. The spicy ahi prances across your tongue while the wasabi ahi wafts into the back of your throat, effectively filling your mouth with fireworks.

Creating your own bowl can be a bit of a challenge—some combos play a bit nicer than others. Luckily, the staff will let you try any one of their offerings, which I also recommend. The regular-sized build your own ($13.49) lets you choose up to three different proteins, so balance is key. Something spicy like the wasabi ahi or spicy salmon is always a good way to start things off. From there, you’ll want to make sure to try something doused in the Shack’s oyster sauce—it supplements the fish’s natural flavor with just a hint of salty goodness.

Those looking for something less orthodox will want to check out the kimchi mussels or tako (octopus).

I’ve never been a big fan of mussels, but the power of kimchi amplifies these bite-sized, briny nuggets, giving them enough of a punch to mingle with members of the ahi and salmon family.

Laid Back

Shack’s three years of business are proof that fresh ahi tuna does indeed exist in our landlocked neck of the woods—and it’s pretty damned good.

The Shack’s layout is consistent with its fast-casual cousins, but don’t let that discourage you from taking the place seriously. When you step up to the counter to peruse all 15 seafood options, you’ll likely pass a sign that proudly announces when their fish was caught, and which employee sliced it up that day. The Shack has a direct line to the Honolulu fish auction, which means they get their goods fresh three times a week. I can’t even imagine the logistical obstacle course such an operation entails, but I can speak to the fact that it works.

Since the menu’s variety can be incredibly daunting for a first-time visitor, I recommend trying their signature bowls ($11.49). Each is a safe bet. The Laid Back Poke Bowl is a fascinating blend of pineapple shrimp, shoyu ahi, Samoan oka ahi and Kalua pork, making for a bit of Hawaiian surf and turf. At first, I thought the addition of Kalua pork with its salty, marinated goodness would overpower the ahi, but the bowl offers up a nicely balanced mix of flavors. On the spicier side,

Templin Recommend

The new T.F. Brewery offers some unique flavors.

BY MIKE RIEDEL comments@cityweekly.net @utahbeer

Y

ou might have heard that Salt Lake City has a new brewery in downtown’s evolving Granary District.

The T.F. (Templin Family) Brewery is part of a beer renaissance that’s been building momentum over the past couple of years and it’s another unique beer experience that looks to add to the local beer scene. Here’s a look at some of their initial brews: Granary Kellerbier: This is an older German style that dates back as far as the Middle Ages. Kellerbiers are unfiltered and unpasteurized beers that undergo a lengthy lagering process. The result is a smooth, naturally cloudy beer that’s rich in B vitamins from the yeast. T.F.’s interpretation pours a slightly hazy golden color with a solid two fingers of dense foam. Aromas

include lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal grasses and some earthy yeast. Taste it and you might find toast, biscuit and light honey to start. As you get in a little deeper, herbal, grassy, light pepper and yeasty notes emerge, propping up the back end of this brew. Once there, a moderate amount of herbal/spicy hops punch out, providing a good dose of bitterness to balance out the sweetness from the grains. Lingering notes of herbs, grass and light pepper can be found in the finish, leaving zero cloying flavors after all is said and done.

Overall: This is a damned nice Kellerbier style, with all-around great robustness and a balance of bready malt and earthy hop flavors. It’s very smooth, crisp and clean to drink and makes for an enjoyable offering.

My Son Oat Porter: This beer seems like it was meant to be on a nitro tap. The dark brown hues shimmer just enough to discern that it is, in fact, a deep brown and not black. As you can see from the photo (above right), the head is a flawless two fingers of dense khaki cream. The aroma isn’t particularly strong, but you do get some nice notes of dark malt, a lightly roasted coffee scent and just the faintest sugary hint— like a touch of brown sugar or caramel. It’s pleasant, if a bit muted.

While I didn’t get much chocolate on the nose, you do begin to pick it up on the palate. It’s more of a cocoa powder chocolate, but not really bitter, and it blends nicely

MIKE RIEDEL

BEER NERD

with the dark, bready flavors and hints at some dark fruitiness. Coffee notes and roasted malt come through stronger midsip toward the finish, but again, it seems to exercise a great deal of restraint. You know the flavors are there, but you have to dig for them. Still, it’s pleasing with a lingering touch of smoke, and that cocoa flavor settling out toward the end. The mouthfeel is very creamy; it really lays down on the tongue, and shows a nice bit of body for a 4.0-percent porter. While it’s not as thick as a milk stout, the nitro really gives this beer some extra heft.

Overall: It’s a good, solid porter by a local brewery that I’m going to enjoy supporting. This might be one of the better beers that T.F. chose for its debut, and I hope it’s available more often than not. It has all of the hallmarks of a quality American Porter, made all the more enjoyable by an exquisitely creamy body.

These are just two of the beers to debut.

As of this writing, there also are two wheat ales (German and American), an American pale ale and an 8.6-percent double IPA. Now it’s your turn to check out the new flavors. As always, cheers! CW

bob bland no music tonight due to a wedding

Although Lazy Day Café only opened in 2010, the place feels as if it’s been whipping up creative takes on breakfast and Southern comfort food for generations. The flavor of their famous lemon pancakes ($7.50, pictured) softly kisses your palate with just enough flirtatious energy to keep you diving back into your short stack. While it’s hard for me to visit and order something other than these remarkable flapjacks, I’m glad I hopped over to the savory side with the shrimp and grits ($10). Lazy Day’s interpretation of this classic includes a dollop of corn grits, melted cheddar cheese and a pile of sautéed shrimp, plus a helping of crispy bacon, tomatoes and green onion; the flavor combination struck a flavor balance uncharacteristic of breakfast food. The garlic burger ($9) is a stalwart example of the Utah favorite—a great, juicy patty served on a challah-like bun—but its garlic flavor is a bit too muted to be a real contender for the garlic burger hall of fame. At its core, this is a breakfast and brunch joint, and they know exactly what they’re doing. Reviewed Oct. 18. 2020 E. 3300 South, Ste. 23, 801-953-0311, lazydaycafe.net

Overlord commits to bloody battles with Nazis, zombies and zombie Nazis.

BY ERIC D. SNIDER comments@cityweekly.net @ericdsnider

PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Jovan Adepo, left, and Dominic Applewhite in Overlord. who’s pretending to be a badass. Russell lacks the gravitas to convincingly play a man who’s experienced the hell of war, and is consistently out-acted by Jovan Adepo (from HBO’s The Leftovers), whose Pvt. Boyce grapples with his reputation among the men as someone who’s reluctant to kill—a positive trait in the world normally, but not so much during a war.

Avery, whose only prior feature was 2014’s unseen Son of a Gun, shows impressive technical skills here, notably in the parachuting sequence (which would be the best skydiving scene of the year, hands down, were it not for Mission: Impossible — Fallout). Overlord is shallow comic-book carnage with no subtext, but it successfully walks the line between serious and ludicrous without tipping over into campy, and the warmovie tropes are used effectively. Besides, it’s good to see on the screen now and then that Americans are supposed to hate Nazis, just to keep our skills fresh. CW

Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS (1975) Dyanne Thorne Gregory Knoph R

| MUSIC | CINEMA | DINING | A&E | NEWS |

(A few other survivors don’t last long, including the requisite hick who steps on a landmine the moment he starts speaking wistfully about his postwar plans. The W WII movie template is still in full effect here.)

After saving a local villager, Chloe (Mathilde Ollivier), and her little brother (Gianny Taufer) from a rapey Nazi officer (Pilou Asbaek), the team discovers that the church isn’t just where the Germans have planted a radio tower, but is also a house of horrors where the Nazis are conducting gruesome medical experiments on their way to building “super soldiers.” These experiments might involve the raising of the dead, which could lead to, yes, NAZI ZOMBIES. So we’re in the realm of mad scientists, dangerous formulas and human monsters—classic B-movie stuff, rendered with gory, over-the-top gusto. The thinking seems to be that since using the Nazis’ real, horrific experiments as a springboard for ghoulish entertainment is inherently distasteful, one might as well go all the way.

There’s a certain logic to that, and Overlord is a lot of audacious fun when it’s about the Americans fighting and destroying the Third Reich’s grotesque monsters, which they do with enthusiasm and extreme prejudice.

But speaking of horrors, let’s talk about Wyatt Russell’s performance. Cpl. Ford is supposed to be a badass, but in Russell’s hands he only ever seems like a soft doofus

t r A The l a r Flo

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

t’s hard to imagine what could have given filmmakers in 2018 the idea that moviegoers want to see Nazis get killed—but hey, we’ll take ’em. Overlord, a violent, horrortinged, sci-fi take on Germany’s World War II atrocities, recalls the Nazisploitation flicks of the ’60s and ’70s grindhouse circuit—except that it’s from the point of view of the American interceders, not the Nazis themselves.

Also, it cost a lot more to make than, say, Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS. The point is, to enjoy Overlord or anything else in this category, you have to be OK with entertainment that’s laden with Nazi imagery (which can be hard to take, even when the story’s message is clearly anti-Nazi).

You also need to be OK with entertainment that’s dripping with blood and guts, because hoo boy. Director Julius Avery, backed by producer J.J. Abrams and a fervently tacky screenplay by Billy Ray (Shattered Glass) and Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), considers the story’s gruesome possibilities to be a feature, not a bug. He’s undoubtedly right; the audience that goes for Nazi-themed horror, like Dead Snow, tends to enjoy gore, too. And if you’re not the audience for this, you probably already realize it.

It’s 1944, and in preparation for D-Day, the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division has to sneak into Nazi-occupied France and disable a radio tower on top of a church.

A tough-acting Cpl. Ford (Wyatt Russell), brought in to advise and intent on carrying out the mission at all costs, becomes the commanding officer when the plane carrying the team is shot down and only a handful of privates remain: Boyce (Jovan Adepo), who wants to complete the mission but save innocent bystanders, too; Tibbet (John Magaro), the requisite Brooklyn wise-ass; and Chase (Iain De Caestecker), an Army photographer embedded with the 101st Airborne.

CINEMA CLIPS MOVIE TIMES AND LOCATIONS AT CITYWEEKLY.NET

NEW THIS WEEK Film release schedules are subject to change. Reviews online at cityweekly.net DR. SEUSS’ THE GRINCH [not yet reviewed] The grumpy green creature (Benedict Cumberbatch) does his Christmas-stealing thing. Opens Nov. 9 at theaters valleywide. (PG) THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB [not yet reviewed] Dragon-tattooed cyber-vigilante Lisbeth Salander (Claire Foy) applies her skills to a new deadly threat. Opens Nov. 9 at theaters valleywide. (R) OVERLORD BB.5 See review on p. 29. Opens Nov. 9 at theaters valleywide. (R) WHAT THEY HAD BBB.5 Writer-director Elizabeth Chomko’s debut film is a simultaneously sharp and tender portrait of longstanding, interconnected family squabbles and hidden resentments that finally come to a head with a near-tragedy. Bridget (Hilary Swank) rushes home to Chicago when her mother, Ruth (Blythe Danner)—who’s in the late-middle stages of Alzheimer’s—wanders off one night.

Although she’s soon found, tensions rise between Bridget’s brother, Nick (Michael Shannon); their father, Burt (Robert Forster), who refuses to acknowledge that it’s time for Ruth to move to a nursing home; and Bridget, who has power-ofattorney. Achingly affecting performances and poignant details ground the story in melancholy authenticity; the bitter humor

also rings true, conveying the whistling past the graveyard that comes with facing mortality, particularly that of one’s parents.

But this is mostly the tale of Bridget’s confrontation with the fact that her marriage lacks the devotion and romance that her parents obviously still enjoy, even in Ruth’s diminished state. The film’s title isn’t simply an elegy for Bert and Ruth, but a smack to Bridget, an admonition for her to do something to fix her own life, too—if she’s brave enough. Opens Nov. 9 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—MaryAnn Johanson WILDLIFE BBB Actor Paul Dano shows a real visual sensibility for his first feature behind the camera; I can’t wait to see him work with a story that has more meat on its bones. Dano and Zoe Kazan adapt Richard Ford’s novel set in 1960 Montana, where peripatetic Jerry Brinson (Jake Gyllenhaal) has moved his wife Jeanette (Carey Mulligan) and 14-year-old son Joe (Ed Oxenbould) to take a job as a golf pro. But when he loses that job, and turns to fighting brush fires to support the family, strains appear in the marriage. There’s not much here besides a teenager’s point of view on his parents drifting apart, and the moon-faced Oxenbould’s reactions have to do a lot more heavy lifting than he really seems up to handling. Mulligan, meanwhile, is terrific, embodying a pre-women’s lib homemaker with more vitality than she can express in her life, or than her husband can handle.

Dano crafts sequences with unexpected perspectives—there’s a great moment involving the simple arrival and departure of a bus— that make him a talent to watch. He might work wonders with a story that’s not fundamentally literary. Opens Oct. 9 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—Scott Renshaw

CURRENT RELEASES BEAUTIFUL BOY BBB Sure, it’s a bit Hollywoodized; Timothée Chalamet’s masculine beauty is never diminished, even as his teen character Nic is ravaged by crystal meth. But this uncompromising drama is unpretty where it counts, in its focus less on the addict than on his family’s coping. Based on real-life father-and-son memoirs, this is more the tale of Nic’s father, David (Steve Carell), as he struggles to support his son. The awful conclusion David comes to is that sometimes there is nothing you can do to help someone you love, and nothing to blame for addiction except the quirks of brain chemistry. Carell is heartbreaking in a spare, tough performance, while Chalamet is full of helpless fury and fragile vulnerability. The film might be sleek, but the authenticity is in the struggle to understand an issue too often dismissed as about personal weakness. (R)—MAJ BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY BB The story of Freddie Mercury should be stuff of a great character study; instead, we get a 134-minute Behind the Music installment. The narrative tracks Mercury (Rami Malek) from 1970, as he joins the band that will become Queen, through its peak and the legendary 1985 Live Aid performance. The strongest potential material is in the relationship between Mercury and his wife Mary (Lucy Boynton), but their lifelong connection remains frustratingly underdeveloped. Malek bites into his performance—and his prosthetic overbite—with gusto, embodying Mercury’s frontman charisma. But mostly this is the kind of music biopic Walk Hard so mercilessly mocked, running through a checklist of tortured artist clichés. Any insight into Freddie Mercury as a person is sacrificed in favor of reminding us every five minutes, in the most ham-fisted manner possible, how awesome Queen was. (PG-13)—SR

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? BBB.5 This dark-tinged comedy tells the fact-based story of what happened when prickly writer Lee Israel’s (Melissa McCarthy) career stalled and she was desperate for income: She started forging letters from literary figures to sell to collectors. The ruse evolves to include assistance from Jack Hock (Richard E. Grant), a flamboyant gadabout who shares her misanthropy and alcoholism. Directed by Marielle Heller, the story follows Lee’s halting efforts to become a less off-putting person, so it doesn’t end with her scam being discovered, but continues through the aftermath so we can see her arc completed. McCarthy gives Lee emotional depth, channeling her outsized comic sensibilities into a three-dimensional character, while Grant proves a fine counterpart. It’s a pleasure to see these broken characters help one another, but Heller makes sure the warm moments never interfere with the movie’s curmudgeonly heart. (R)—Eric D. Snider

THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS BB.5 If you’ve ever wondered whether the classic Christmas tale of The Nutcracker could become a gaudy hero-journey narrative, I guess the answer is, “Sure?” In Victorian London, young Clara (Mackenzie Foy), mourning the recent passing of her mother, visits a strange land where a war instigated by Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren) looms. Ashleigh Powell’s screenplay draws from many vintage sources—notably the Narnia saga, as Clara emerges into a wintry forest where she’s hailed as royalty—and it’s satisfying to see a young female protagonist with engineering savvy. The mythology often feels fairly thin, however, and the CGI spectacle threatens to overwhelm everything on the way to the obvious life lessons. Satisfying visual tidbits—including creepy nesting-doll clowns—mix with Tchaikovsky’s beloved score for a family adventure that pushes the right buttons, but doesn’t quite achieve the desired magic.

Return of the Rad Shack

Dalin Shepherd and Albert Vargas breathe new life into beloved Provo venue.

BY NICK McGREGOR music@cityweekly.net @mcgregornick

E

Dalin Shepherd and Albert Vargas SLOW CAVES

w/ All That Falls, Robots Ate My Garden, RCS and Flaural Thursday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m.

The Rad Shack 1644 S. State, Provo 385-321-4057 facebook.com/therad5hack

| MUSIC | CINEMA | DINING | A&E | NEWS |

“Slow Caves came through Utah on tour and played the original Rad Shack,” Shepherd says. “They liked it enough that they wanted to come back and be a part of the reopening show.” All That Falls also has a history of playing at The Rad Shack; Shepherd calls bassist Cubby McBride a good friend and a “fantastic connection to the music scene around here.” Ditto for Robots Ate My Garden, whose frontman Luis Puente plays guitar with Shepherd in Famous Friends.

Salt Lake City’s RCS makes their debut at The Rad Shack, along with Flaural, fellow Coloradoans on tour with Slow Caves.

Beyond that, The Rad Shack is already booking through the spring, including a Rad Shack Festival in late May. The stylistic mix includes EDM nights, open mics and solo showcases, with genre diversity a must. “It’s extremely rare for me to turn down a band because of the kind of music they play,” Shepherd says. “Anyone who wants to play, I want them to play.”

That egalitarian nature is The Rad Shack’s biggest hallmark—along with a commitment to an alcohol-free, all-ages space that abides by the rules. “We respect Provo’s sound ordinance, so we’ll wrap up around 10 p.m.,” Shepherd says. “I feel it’d be unfair to make it a 21+ venue, too, although to be honest, I don’t know how any venue stays afloat without selling alcohol.

But we’re determined to do it well.”

That determination to survive and thrive in Provo sets The Rad Shack apart. Vargas notes the overlooked talent in Utah County—and the fact that when those bands drive north to Salt Lake City for a gig, they often have to sell tickets in advance to get a spot on the bill. “We want to provide the space for artists to get themselves out there—and for audiences to enjoy awesome music,” he says.

Shepherd emphasizes that all-inclusive atmosphere. “There’s so much talent out there, and although Salt Lake City has plenty of venues, that’s not where every single band or artist lives,” he says. “Utah County severely lacks in places for bands to perform, and if we can provide that, we absolutely will. You never know who’s going to walk up on stage and become the next big thing.” CW

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

ven with the local economy humming, navigating bureaucracies to start a new venture is tough. Multiply those challenges if your business model involves live music, then add a few more levels of difficulty if you don’t plan to sell alcohol, and instead are creating an all-ages space open to every type of artist.

Oh, and your regular business hours will stretch from just 7-10 p.m. most nights.

Such are the challenges facing Dalin Shepherd and Albert Vargas, partners in the second iteration of The Rad Shack. The original Rad Shack started as a practice space for Shepherd’s bands Famous Friends and Strangely OK, then morphed into a free DIY venue in the winter of 2016-17 when Muse Music closed. “I was afraid that the Utah County music scene that Muse provided a home for would have no place to go,” Shepherd says. “So I opened our space up to host shows, and it quickly gained traction.”

However, the owners of that property asked Shepherd and his band to vacate in July, giving Shepherd the needed incentive to transform The Rad Shack into a legitimate business. He found the perfect space at 1644 S. State in Provo, just after he met the perfect partner in Albert Vargas, a California native who moved to Utah three years ago to start a family with his wife, Kensy. “Albert was the perfect business partner I didn’t know I needed until he introduced himself to me,” Shepherd says.

The two met through mutual friend Rayn Morrison, who performs as Lyfe on Mars,

an example of how local connections have helped incubate The Rad Shack 2.0. A fundraiser last month at Bill’s Warehouse, part of Provo’s long-running Bill Harris Music, netted $2,150 for start-up costs; an IndieGoGo campaign raised another $1,500.

Vargas cites additional support from local bands, artists, friends and other DIY venues like The Superfuzz, while Shepherd acknowledges the complexities that go in to opening a business: “We have enough connections and support to get everything physically tangible to run a live music production, but it’s the bureaucracy and business model of keeping a music venue afloat that’s the biggest challenge. I don’t know how others do it, but we’re as ready as we’ll ever be to take it on.”

Shepherd and Vargas bring valuable skills to the table: Shepherd is a draftsman for a Salt Lake City engineering firm and has stints in maintenance, painting, demolition and welding fabrication, while Vargas works for Hydro Extrusions in Spanish Fork, handling extruded aluminum for the construction, transportation and HVAC industries. Even with that wealth of knowledge, Shepherd admits that turning The Rad Shack into a legitimate business is risky.

“We weren’t about to pull out a bunch of business loans,” he laughs. But he says his time running the first Rad Shack served as the perfect testing ground. “It was close enough to a real venue, yet almost entirely risk free,” he says. “I went to school at UVU for a short time in their digital audio program, and through that I made connections and found resources that taught me what it takes to do live music. I’m also not afraid to ask questions to anyone I work with.” Vargas says several people have come out of the woodwork to offer input on The Rad Shack: “So in a sense, everyone in the local music scene has helped in one way or another.”

With a capacity of 100-150 and a plan to provide a stage, lights and sound for events, the future looks bright for the new venue.

Its grand opening on Nov. 8 features a mix of local bands and touring acts: Colorado’s Slow Caves and Flaural joined by Utah’s All That Falls, Robots Ate My Garden and RCS.

Death Valley Girls

THURSDAY 11/8

FRIDAY 11/9

SUNDAY 11/11

The video for Death Valley Girls’ new single “Disaster (Is What We’re After)” is a straight-on shot of Iggy Pop eating fast food out of a paper bag. There are a couple of weird touches: Iggy folds his burger in half and dips it in ketchup, for one.

(Seriously, who does that?) More surprisingly, he keeps his shirt on for nearly four minutes. Just so we don’t trip over ourselves searching for symbolism, he gruffly declares, “I’m Iggy Pop, and I just ate a burger listening to Death Valley Girls.” It pays homage to a scene in Danish filmmaker Jørgen Leth’s 1982 film, 66 Scenes of America, in which Andy Warhol (surprise!) eats a hamburger. If nothing else, the video illuminates the space along the musical spectrum that Death Valley Girls occupies: sufficiently rough around the edges to capture the attention of a rock 'n' roll OG like Iggy Pop, but enough of an art school vibe to reference Warhol. The L.A.based outfit is often described as “witch-rock,” probably because frontwoman Bonnie Bloomgarden’s exaggerated, almost theatrical vibrato is positively chilling. Plus, she writes lyrics about eating brains (“Unzip Your Forehead”). Death Valley Girls’ sound is very much based in punk rock, with chugging power chords and scuzzy guitar freak-outs galore, but there’s a goofy B-52s spirit somewhere in there, too.

Death Valley Girls tours in support of new album Darkness Rains with support from Gymshorts and locals Brain Bagz.

(Howard Hardee) The Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, 8 p.m., 21+, $10 presale; $12 day of show, theurbanloungeslc.com

It’s one thing to tap tradition and still remain relevant; it’s another to heed one’s heritage and still maintain an individual identity. So credit The Travelin’ McCourys with finding a common thread that links past with present. Ronnie and Rob McCoury were weaned on the bluegrass sound championed by their dad, the legendary Del McCoury, and they retain that bond and birthright with the music they make today. Synergy endures, and though they still stick with their status as their father’s backing band, they also tour under their own aegis with The Travelin’ McCourys band in tow. With Ronnie on mandolin and Rob playing banjo, the brothers merge bluegrass fundamentals with an exhilarating energy that affirms contemporary credence. Not that it was easy—although they began their performing career playing with daddy Del while still in their teens, they eventually came to realize that at some future point their father would retire and they’d need to establish an identity of their own. “We had to figure out something we could do, while still performing with my dad,” they say in a news release.

“We don’t want this to be the Del-less McCoury Band.” As a result, they travel in dual directions, one that finds them maintaining the family business while the other affirms a thriving cottage industry of their own. (Lee Zimmerman) The State Room, 638 S. State, 9 p.m., 21+, $32, thestateroom.com

Even as hip-hop splinters into a million different internet-assisted sub-genres, identity still matters. That’s particularly true for New Jersey rapper Kosha Dillz, who has built a thriving career embracing his role as a Jewish rapper—“not a rapper who is Jewish,” as he’s fond of clarifying. That means singing in Hebrew, examining his global responsibility as a dual U.S./Israel citizen, performing improv at synagogues and producing what he called “the most stereotypical Jewish cover” for his debut 2004 album as Kosha Dillz: a matzah ball, with a piece of matzah in the mouth of said matzah ball and a yarmulke on top of the matzah ball. Influenced by his year of incarceration for drug-related charges, the album was heavy on ’90s boom-bap beats but treated religion with kid gloves, taking an ironic stance on its creator’s Jewish identity. Not so on subsequent records, when Kosha Dillz faced a backlash from booking agents, record companies and fellow rappers, many of whom claimed he was either too Jewish for the secular crowd or not Jewish enough for the religious crowd.

“Could anti-Semitism exist in multiple facets?” he mused in a 2016 op-ed for Performer Magazine. “If being locked in a box is so bad, then why do I have all this opportunity?” he continued, listing a litany of recent accolades. Kosha Dillz has emerged as one of the most potent advocates for the Jewish religion—a rhyme-spitting, fire-breathing MC unafraid to talk hard truths and address latent discrimination. In the wake of the largest anti-Semitic mass shooting in U.S. history, attending his show at Kilby Court is a must.

Michael Franti, Carl Young, Victoria Canal

Musician, philosopher, advocate, spoken word artist and singer/songwriter Michael Franti has always excelled at any path he blazes. In concert, he’s a lively cheerleader of anthemic proportions, galvanizing his audiences with a stirring blend of funk, folk, rock and reggae. As a barefoot troubadour, he’s traveled the world with his band Spearhead in tow. But his upcoming visit to Salt Lake City finds Franti cast in a different role: that of a filmmaker with a particularly poignant message of hope, optimism and persistence that’s especially needed in today’s troubled times. Franti will screen his film Stay Human, a documentary that spotlights individuals in places as far flung as the Philippines and South Africa, all of whom managed to overcome adversity and create a positive experience for themselves and others in the process. Stay Human also offers insights into Franti’s own journey, which took him from early childhood challenges to eventual triumph in a quest to make music his life’s calling. A Q&A session and acoustic performance will follow the film’s screening, offering opportunity not only to learn what it means to stay human when adversity and ignorance enables hate to overpower humanity, but also to spend time with an artist who’s fully committed to that cause. Hopefully, that conviction will prove contagious and offer inspiration to others as well. (LZ) Eccles Theater, 131 S. Main, 8 p.m., all ages, $35-$45, live-at-the-eccles.com

WEDNESDAY 11/14 Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin

Halloween lives on, even two weeks after the holiday, when Italian composer Claudio Simonetti and his band, Goblin, perform their famous score for Dario Argento’s Suspiria alongside a screening of the 1977 cult film. The supernatural thriller, adapted from Thomas De Quincey’s 1845 essay Suspiria de Profundis (Sighs from the Depths), stars Jessica Harper as an American ballet student who transfers to a revered dance academy in Germany but is soon confronted by paranormal goings-on. Now considered a landmark horror flick, Suspiria won several awards—and even inspired a 2018 remake directed by Luca Guadagnino, whose last film Call Me By Your Name was a critical favorite in 2017. The new Suspiria features a soundtrack composed by Thom Yorke of Radiohead, so Simonetti and his Goblin brethren face a tall task taking their own score for Suspiria on the road. But at this seated event, horror takes a back seat to the avant-garde prog-rock that produces emotional intensity and psychic terror.

“For Suspiria, we stayed in the studio for almost three months,” Simonetti told Noisey in 2015. “We also experimented with different ethnical instruments like a Greek bouzouki and Indian tabla, and we used a lot of different synthesizers. Suspiria is our masterwork.” (NM) Metro Music Hall, 615 W. 100 South, 8 p.m., 21+, $28 presale; $30 doors, metromusichall.com

Rubblebucket, Thick Paint, Tõth

It’s something of a miracle that the Brooklynbased art-pop band Rubblebucket is still around.

Primary members Annakalmia Traver and Alex Toth were romantically involved for more than a decade, but they split amid Traver’s battle with ovarian cancer and Toth’s long-running struggles with alcoholism. Somehow, the couple held Rubblebucket together, continuing their musical partnership focused on forward-thinking dance jams. “Being able to keep that friendship allowed us to keep the musical aspect of our relationship intact,” Traver said in an interview with Paste. “And that was always the most fun part anyway.” We’re all better for it, as well.

Rubblebucket has released a steady stream of top-notch neo-psychedelia since 2008 debut Rose’s Dream, often incorporating atypical rock instruments such as flute, trumpet and trombone. For new album Sun Machine (Grand Jury Music), Traver said Rubblebucket took pains to add dream-like elements to each song, such as “beautiful arpeggiated synthesizers with magical sprinkles of fairy dust” and the odd spokenword interlude. On headphones, it makes for a hyper-real experience. Sun Machine is the sort of polished, high-fidelity effort that makes you wonder, “How is this band not famous?” Slowjamming pop band Thick Paint out of Omaha, Neb., and Tõth (Alex Toth’s solo project) go first.

In a world dominated by instant access and social media democracy, exclusivity is worth its weight in gold—which explains the allure of Bodega + The Rest on Main Street's busy 300 block.

Enter on the street level to Bodega’s fun, well-lit bar area serving up affordable beer and simple drinks—but if you want the full experience, ask if there’s a table downstairs at The Rest. On a recent night, only bar stools were available, but my partner and I jumped on the chance to see what the speakeasy-style space was all about. Heading down bare-bones stairs lined in linoleum and wood, we entered through an unmarked door and found a candlelit lounge that felt equal parts Victorian England and Old West saloon. Gargantuan taxidermy adorns the walls alongside oil paintings, old books tucked into hidden shelves, leather parlor furniture and a thousand other knick-knacks it would take multiple visits to fully absorb. Although The Rest is a narrow shotgun-style space, the bar feels separate from the booths thanks to a low-slung wood-paneled roof and sturdy four-by-eight columns that bestow natural intimacy on both areas. A seasonal cocktail menu boasted plenty of options—like a stunning Stone Love with black and pineapple rum, grapefruit, yuzu, peach puree, and NOLA bitters—while the food menu was equally stacked with options like an overflowing charcuterie board. With no computers or TVs in sight, it almost felt for a moment like we had descended into the 19th century—until some noisy Nebraskans in town for a conference sidled up next to us and pulled out their cell phone flashlights to read the menu, raving about how their kids had told them to try “that hip new liquor,” rye. Luckily, the hand-carved bar stools allowed for a full swivel, hiding my side-eye and transporting my lady and I back to The Rest’s secret hideaway sensation. Make reservations if you want to snag a booth, but trying your luck for a spot here is part of the fun. (Nick McGregor) 331 S. Main, 801-532-4042, bodega331.com

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I am not currently a wanderer or voyager or entrepreneur or swashbuckler. But at other times in my life, I have had extensive experience with those roles. So I know secrets about how and why to be a wanderer and voyager and entrepreneur and swashbuckler. And it’s clear to me that in the coming weeks you could benefit in unforeseen ways from researching and embodying the roles of curious wanderer and brave voyager and savvy entrepreneur and prudent swashbuckler.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.”

That brilliant formulation came from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Does it seem so obvious as to not need mentioning?

Bear with me while I draw further meaning from it, and suggest you use it as an inspiring metaphor in the coming weeks. When it rains, Sagittarius, let it rain; don’t waste time and emotional energy complaining about the rain. Don’t indulge in fruitless fantasizing about how you might stop the rain and how you’d love to stop the rain. In fact, please refrain from defining the rain as a negative event, because after all, it is perfectly natural, and is in fact crucial for making the crops grow and replenishing our water supply. (P.S. Your metaphorical “rain” will be equally useful.)

“the feeling that comes when you pay all your bills and you’ve still got money in the bank.” Others said, “dancing under the rain,” “physical contact like a pat on the back when you’re really touch starved,” and “listening to a song for the first time and it’s so good you just can’t stop smiling.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect that the next two weeks will bring you a flood of these pleasurable underrated feelings.

GEMINI (Might 21-June 20): “Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer,” wrote Gemini author Henry Lawson. Do you have any methods for making yourself feel like you’ve drunk a few beers that don’t involve drinking a few beers? If not, I highly recommend that you find at least one. It will be especially important in the coming weeks for you to have a way to alter, expand, or purify your consciousness without relying on literal intoxicants or drugs.

The goal: to leave your groove before it devolves into a rut.

Without public/legal notice, your government, judicial, and business leaders could enact important decisions without your knowledge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Study the following five failed predictions. 1. “There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom.” —Robert Miliham, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1923. 2. “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” —Western Union internal memo, 1876. 3. “Rail travel CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected trans- at high speeds is not possible because passengers, unable to formation,” writes activist and author Elif Shafak. “If we are the breathe, would die of asphyxia.” –Dionysius Lardner, scientist, same person before and after we loved, that means we haven’t 1830. 4. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer loved enough.” I bring this to your attention because you’re in in their home.” —Ken Olson, president of Digital Equipment a phase when your close alliances should be activating healing Corp., 1977. 5. “Most Cancerians will never overcome their changes in your life. If for some reason your alliances are not yet tendencies toward hypersensitivity, procrastination and fear awash in the exciting emotions of redemption and reinvention, of success.” —Lanira Kentsler, astrologer, 2018.

You might also be inspiring and disorienting, German scientists have created cochlear implants for gerbils that with unpredictable results.

I hesitate to underestimate the messy beauty you’ll What might be the equivalent of you gaining the power to “hear stir up or the rambunctious gossip you’ll provoke. In any case, I light”? I understand that you might resist thinking this way. “That plan to be richly amused by your exploits, and I hope everyone makes no sense,” you might protest, or “There’s no practical value else will be, as well. For best results, I will pray to the Goddess in fantasizing about such an impossibility.” But I hope you’ll make of Productive Fun, begging Her to ensure that the commotions the effort anyway. In my view, stretching your imagination past and uproars you catalyze will be in service to love and kindness. its limits is the healing you need most right now. I also think that doing so will turn out to be unexpectedly practical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson wasn’t always a wild and VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): crazy writer. Early in his career he made an effort to compose Here’s useful wisdom from the poet Rumi. “Our defects are the respectable, measured prose. When he finally gave up on that ways that glory gets manifested,” he said. “Keep looking at the project and decided he could “get away with” a more uninhibited bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.” Playwright style, he described it as being “like falling down an elevator shaft Harrison David Rivers interprets Rumi’s words to mean, “Don’t and landing in a pool full of mermaids.” I foresee a metaphori- look away from your pain, don’t disengage from it, because that pain is the source of your power.” I think these perspectives are cally comparable development in your future, Pisces. just what you need to meditate on, Virgo. To promote even more healing in you, I’ll add a further clue from poet Anna Kamienska: ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1994, Aries pop diva Mariah Carey collaborated with an associate “Where your pain is, there your heart lies also.” (P.S. Rumi is to write the song “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It took them 15 translated by Coleman Barks; Kamienska by Clare Cavanagh.) minutes to finish it. Since then, it has generated $60 million in royalties. I wish I could unconditionally predict that you, too, will efficiently LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): spawn a valuable creation sometime soon.

But because I tend to be conservative in my prophecies, first,” he says, “because they aren’t demands and you don’t need I won’t guarantee anything close to the $60-million figure. In fact, to reply. They’re simply for pleasure.” He also enjoys giving regular small gifts. “I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends your reward might be more spiritual in nature than financial. so they get fresh blooms.” Hockney seems to share the perspective expressed by author Gail Godwin, who writes, “How easy it was to TAURUS (April 20-Might 20): An interactive post at reddit.com asked readers to write about make people happy, when you didn’t want or need anything from “the most underrated feeling of all time.” One person said, them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Libra, I suggest “When you change the sheets on your bed.” Another extolled you have fun employing these approaches in the coming weeks.

Projects and Planning

Downtown is just a big dust cloud of projects and planning these days. The old Union Pacific Railroad station (think where The Depot concert venue is located) will be the centerpiece of an eight-story, 225-room hotel and mixed-use planned development about to break ground. Vestar LLC is working on final approvals with city planners to tweak some of the blueprints. I’ve seen the drawings and it looks like a groovy way to preserve the existing Grand Train Hall in the center of the old railroad station and bring in a hotel with retail and food space to embrace the historic building. In maybe a year or two, you’ll be able to take Trax to see a show at The Depot, and then afterward stagger to your hotel room in the same building. Next morning, wake up and have a bloody mary to welcome the new day.

Elsewhere, the BTG Wine Bar has moved with Caffé Molise from 100 South near the Salt Palace to the Eagle Building at 404 S. West Temple. The bar is in the garden level of the building and the café takes up the middle and top floors, complete with a new elevator to make it accessible. BTG Wine Bar and Caffé Molise’s old location will most likely be demolished. I’ve seen plans for a huge convention hotel (with a connector tunnel under West Temple) that someday might be built on the site.

Almost every high-rise you see going up downtown is an apartment building. I’d love to report that great, low-income, affordable housing is as prevalent as parking tickets at a Jazz home game. But developers, in general, aren’t building condos or anything for sale downtown—the money and incentives are in rental properties. There just aren’t any incentives for developers to erect affordable housing, despite a few carrots being extended by Salt Lake City. Good news for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, City Creek and the church’s various condo buildings: Sales for a new office on South Temple have essentially stopped because that project is almost sold out. Potential buyers have to now call and make an appointment to see any of the few models that are left there.

Finally: Head up the hill to East High School and get your dancin’ shoes ready because Utah is going to be the location for High School Musical again. Disney will start filming early next year for its new direct-to-consumer streaming service, and, as in the past, hire oodles of local extras.

People Different From Us Halloween won’t be quite so frightening for residents of Nottinghamshire, England, now that a “killer clown” has been apprehended and sentenced to 11 weeks behind bars, plus 18 weeks that had previously been suspended, according to the BBC. Damien Hammond, 29, is a homeless and jobless man who has taken on the persona of Heath Ledger’s The Joker from “The Dark Knight Rises.” He admitted to what police called a “crime wave” of offenses, including terrorizing staff in retail stores, waving a gun-shaped cigarette lighter while standing in traffic and striking a police officer. He arrived at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Oct. 10 with bright green hair, and as he was led to jail, shouted: “See what you have done. I will kill today!” adding that he would stab police officers and fellow inmates. He has also been banned from central Nottingham for three years.

WEIRD

Government in Action The District of Columbia’s Department of General Services fell victim to a scam in July when officials there wired almost $700,000 to a hacker posing as a city vendor. The fraudsters gained information from a vendor’s computer system, reported The Washington Post, then created a fake email address by changing just one letter, from which they requested electronic transfers from the D.C. government. David Umansky, a spokesman for the district’s chief financial officer, told the Post that since then, the city’s protocols for making vendor payments have “been modified to require additional confirmation before changing bank information.” None of D.C.’s money has been recovered.

Extreme Reaction Helen Washington, 75, of Brooklyn Center, Minn., faces charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon after she ran out of patience on Oct. 12 with her grandson, who continued to put his teacup on her furniture even after she repeatedly asked him not to. After dumping his tea out, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported, Washington left the room, apparently to get a gun.

Meanwhile, the grandson had made a new cup of tea and put it on the furniture. The argument resumed, and Washington pulled out the .38 special, shooting her grandson in the leg. She told officers at the scene she didn’t think she should go to jail; a judge ordered an evaluation to see if she’s competent to stand trial.

Creative Weaponry When Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly wandered into a suburban house in Englewood, Colo., early on the morning of Oct. 23, he didn’t appear to pose much of a threat, according to ESPN News. He sat down on the couch next to the female resident, who was holding her young child, and began “mumbling incoherently,” police records showed. But the man of the house, thinking quickly, shooed the 24-year-old Kelly out with nothing more than a vacuum hose. Kelly, who had been at a Halloween party with teammates, was later found sitting in his car about a block away. He was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass, but the real shame is how Kelly hosed his own career: On Oct. 24, the Broncos released him.

n Atif Masood, 42, an employee at a Tesco supermarket in Thornton Heath in south London, is suing the store over the harassment and racial discrimination he says he suffered when a fellow employee broke wind in his face. The Sun reported Masood claims he was targeted because he is Muslim, saying the “unwanted conduct ... had the purpose or effect of violating his dignity.” Tesco dismissed Masood’s complaints in February, saying it found no evidence of racial discrimination. Masood’s hearing will take place in 2019.

Above and Beyond Judge R.W. Buzzard got a free pass on doing his cardio on Oct. 16 after two inmates appearing in his courtroom at the Lewis County Courthouse in Chehalis, Wash., made a break for it. The Daily Chronicle reported that Tanner D. Jacobson, 22, of Onalaska, and Kodey L. Howard, 28, of Winlock, were being escorted out of the courtroom by a deputy when they turned and ran out the public door of the chamber. Judge Buzzard stripped off his black robe and set off in hot pursuit, grabbing Howard as he followed Jacobson down the steps. Jacobson was caught a few blocks away. Both inmates were charged with felony second-degree escape.

Insert Stereotype Here Police officers in Clearwater, Fla., shared their good fortune on Oct. 16 after they recovered a stolen van filled with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, reported the Tampa Bay Times. The van was stolen almost 200 miles north of Clearwater, in Lake City, where the store manager donated the sweet cargo to the officers, who shared their treats with local homeless people. Evidently the resulting sugar coma impaired the officers’ ability to hunt down criminals, as the doughnut thief is still on the run.

Ewwww!

William Friedman, 68, of Franklin Township, N.J., told police officers when he was apprehended that his weird practice of dumping his grandson’s used diapers around town “almost became a game.” Friedman had been disposing of the soiled nappies along several roadways over the past year, until an officer spotted him at 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 21 making another deposit. Not only is the littering disgusting, but officials told the Associated Press that a motorcyclist crashed in June after running over a diaper Friedman had allegedly thrown out. He was charged with interference with transportation and faces up to $1,000 in fines.

The Way the World Works Krissa White of Pensacola, Fla., planted a butterfly garden in her front yard six years ago. Since then, she’s nurtured monarchs through their life cycles, offering them a safe refuge from mosquito-targeting chemicals. But her yard has been the source of much discussion among neighbors, and in early October, the Crown Pointe Property Owners Association charged that White’s butterflies violate the community’s covenants against breeding or raising animals, such as livestock or poultry, on the property. Dogs, cats or other household pets are exempted from the rule. WEAR-TV reported on Oct. 19 that White might be charged $25 every day for harboring the butterflies.

Who’s a Good Boy? You’re a Good Boy! Beagle Brigade K-9 officer Hardy probably thought he’d hit the jackpot when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents discovered an unusual item in a passenger’s luggage at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on Oct. 11. Fox5 reported that something smelled suspicious (and delicious) to Hardy, so agents opened the bag of a traveler from Ecuador to find a cooked pig’s head. “This seizure at ATL illustrates the tremendous expertise

of our four-legged K-9 partners in protecting the United States,” gushed Carey Davis, CBP area port director of the Port of Atlanta. No doubt to Hardy’s distress, however, the pig’s head was removed and destroyed.

Inexplicable The University of Kansas Cancer Center just wants its colon back.

The $4,000 giant inflatable colon, used to educate the public about colon health, was stolen from the bed of a pickup truck on Oct. 19. The Kansas City Star reported it was scheduled to appear at a run/walk event at a local park the next day. Kansas City Police are hoping the public will help find the 150-pound, 10-foot-long colon and return it to its owners. Update: The stolen colon was found inside a vacant home on Oct. 30.

News That Sounds Like a Joke In Ouachita Parish, La., chicken owner Stephanie Morse told KNOE-TV on Oct. 18 that she is not going to be deterred from dressing up her chickens for Halloween, even in light of the warning from the Centers for Disease Control about exposure to salmonella. More than 90 people in 29 states have been infected with an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria after coming into contact with raw chicken products. Dressing up live chickens might also cause people to be exposed to the germ. “Don’t kiss your birds or snuggle them,” the CDC warns. But Morse clucks back: “I just like to put a sweater on them to keep them warm and comfortable.”
