Cover story “Between the jaw-dropping beauty, gut-punching politics and head-pounding air quality, I can honestly say Utah is unlike any place I’ve ever been,” the Philadelphia native says. He calls this week’s cover subject ”a political force who I suspect has not slept since deciding to run against Chris Stewart for his U.S. Congress seat.”

News, Feb. 14, “Bikes, Scooters and Cars, Oh My!”

[E-bikes were] created for people whose parents cleaned up for them as kids. Users leave them everywhere—in the middle of sidewalks blocking access for those with disabilities, on other people’s lawns and other places where they don’t belong and aren’t wanted. And don’t get me started in safety issues. As a pedestrian, I’ve been nearly run down twice by irresponsible users. I want fewer cars and less pollution, too, but this business model sucks. @JENNIFERKILLPACK Via Instagram These damn things are everywhere, lol.

Opinion, Feb. 7, “Utah’s Legislators: Gone Rogue”

But you know none of them will be voted out. They know that, and this is how they know they can get away with it. The people in this state tend to vote against their own best interests. KAREN TUCKER STEELE Via Facebook We need a better education system surrounding voting and the people who are running for office. We need people out there volunteering and educating the population of who is running, their past achievements, etc. And most importantly, we need people to run for office that don’t bow down to the LDS church’s every wish just to earn a quick $$$. I hope we vote these greedy SOBs out. BRIANNE HADLEY

OPINION

Better Brooms, Bigger Rugs

Utahns might be reveling in their sense of purity, secretly rejoicing in the almost-continuous stream of rousing scandals sullying the luster of American politics. But, while Utah’s public figures might not be the king-of-themountain elites anticipating the next volley of unseemly accusations, they are, just like their counterparts in other states, merely human and fallible. On the surface they all look freshly scrubbed and squeaky clean, but the reality is a simple matter of statistical probability—there are skeletons in virtually everyone’s closet. Despite the naive idealism in which we prided ourselves as kids, there are few people who have walked unfailingly on the highest moral and ethical ground. It’s true that Utah’s political history appears to have had fewer scandals than, say, Virginia, which has been recently rocked by a super epidemic of damaging revelations, though we have certainly seen some doozies of our own. Overall, it seems that the incidence of moral and ethical “errors” has generally been lower here, but I suspect our relatively unsoiled political history is attributable to better brooms and bigger rugs. Undeniably, the biggest scandals in Utah’s relatively short history were the related arrests of Mark Shurtleff and John Swallow, both former Utah attorneys general. They were charged with multiple counts of public corruption under bribery laws—for taking improper gifts and payoffs from businessmen who were under criminal scrutiny. Many believed that the parallel prosecutions would re-

BY MICHAEL S. ROBINSON SR. sult in convictions, but Utah’s kibitzing residents were frustrated, first by a series of delays, and ultimately, by the turned-state’s-evidence cooperation of Shurtleff in, presumably, helping the prosecution nail his successor. Additionally, the long delays actually became the basis for relief under the constitutional provision for right to a speedy trial. All charges against Shurtleff were dropped, perpetuating Utah’s reputation for immaculately conceived attorneys general. We might never know what went on in the back rooms of Utah’s political circles, but one cannot underestimate involvement of the state’s predominant religion, which loathes criminal prosecution of its faithful members. Just how much influence The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints exerted is anyone’s guess, but its most recent tampering with voter-ratified initiatives is probably a reliable indicator of the forces that caused the Shurtleff case to be dropped. Withdrawal of the charges was no indication of their validity, but it’s unlikely Utahns will ever have answers on whether Shurtleff was criminally culpable. Although Swallow’s eight felonies and single misdemeanor moved forward to a trial, the jury found him not guilty on all counts. The facts showed that he had, indeed, accepted gifts which were questionable, yet 12 worthy peers determined that the former LDS bishop had not acted contrary to the law or the public interest. Over the years, there have been a handful of Utah politicians who carelessly let down their guards and disappeared in the humiliation that followed. A case-in-point was Rep. Allan T. Howe, the faithful LDS Democratic freshman congressman and former assistant Utah attorney general, who, during his 1976 bid for re-election, was nabbed for offering, not only one, but two, Salt Lake Police Department decoy-prostitutes 20 bucks for a frisky frolic back at “their place.” Because Howe’s arrest was regarded as un-fake-news,

there was no easy way out. Church and state “janitorial services” were unable to come up with a believable spin. Cruising the red-light district of State Street, Howe had stopped to talk to the two girls who were parked in their car. When one of them asked what he was doing, he had volunteered, “Looking for a little fun,” and the mandatory art-of-the-deal agreement for a specific service and a definite price were accomplished. Howe aggressively denied the allegations, passionately maintaining his innocence, and providing an imaginative claim that he believed he was being taken to a party with some of his constituents. The record stood for itself, for it was indeed from “... the mouths of two or more witnesses.” Poor Howe. He was disgraced, likely reprimanded severely by his church, and ultimately was defeated by Dan Marriott, a Republican. Miraculously, he lost himself in Washington, D.C.—where there’s always leniency and redemption for the shamed—then reinvented himself as a highly successful lobbyist. For years after, Howe’s name was synonymous with the parsimonious pursuit of naughty fun. Twenty bucks? Really! R.I.P., Howe. The recent shocking revelations of improprieties by Virginia’s top officials are really no surprise. (Actually, it should give us a warm feeling inside to remember that our own Orange Buffoon has also been accused by at least 22 women of sexual misconduct, and has yet to be held accountable.) Anywhere there’s power and money, the regular release of titillating stories of impropriety will always be with us, but before we point fingers, we must remember that, even in Utah, we must deal with the unfortunate truth that people will be people, and boys will be boys.

WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

Look around you. Listen to the news. Now is the time for women to rise up and take on the task of leadership. The 2019 Women’s Leadership Summit, “Rise Up, Lift Up,” is designed to set you on the path to success and help you help others get there. Breakout sessions “will provide participants knowledge, skills, and/or experiences that will offer a foundation for them to inform their definition of leadership,” according to the event’s Facebook page. Nona E. Richardson, who spent 40 years as a student-athlete, coach and administrator, keynotes the event. It’s time to build your confidence for a future that puts women at the table with men. University of Utah Olpin Union, 200 Central Campus Drive, 801-581-7526, Tuesday, March 5, 1-6 p.m., $10 or students/free, bit.ly/2T65ywG.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE FORUM

Sometimes it seems like we lack a little understanding—and resources. At the Day of Empathy, you’ll hear from people who’ve witnessed that problem firsthand as it relates to the justice system. Organizers of #JusticeReformNow bring in survivors of violent crime, those addicted to opioids or other drugs, the mentally ill and incarcerated individuals working to transform themselves and people living with a criminal record who are desperately seeking a second chance. You can interact with community members impacted by crime, public safety and violence. State Capitol, 350 N. State, Tuesday, March 5, 6:30 p.m., free, bit.ly/2BPqj5U.

REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE LECTURE

As we speak, legislatures and Congress are actively working on laws related to women and how they reproduce. Does that sound clinical? The question is whether this is a matter of morality, law, discrimination or freedom. In reality, it’s all of those—and more. At The Constitution and Reproductive Justice in the Age of Trump, Reva Siegel of Yale Law School explores “questions of law and inequality and … analyzes how courts interact with representative government and popular movements in interpreting the Constitution,” the event’s website says. The issue of abortion is high on the political agenda, but before you get too pumped up, you might want to understand the history behind the movement. S.J. Quinney College of Law, 383 S. University St., 801-5853479, Wednesday, March 6, 5:30-7:30 p.m., free, bit.ly/2txrIJC.

Jobs, jobs, jobs. It’s what Utah and the White House are all about these days. But jobs come with a price that is rarely seen until those jobs are up and running. New York City’s Amazon rejection might be the exception. Although the #fakenews blames Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because she’s become so damned famous, it was actually city officials and a grassroots opposition that unsealed the deal. So, Utah should thank (or blame) the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment for keeping up the pressure on Stericycle to close its polluting incinerator in North Salt Lake. “The moral to this story is: citizen engagement works! And we need your help on our other battles—gravel pits, the pollution port, diesel exhaust and dirty energy projects. If enough citizens demand it, Utah can have clean air, clean energy, a clean future and a livable climate,” UPHE posted on its Facebook page. Now, if only citizen activists could keep nuclear waste out of the state.

Medicaid Tricks

Well, hooray! Utah made the Los Angeles Times with the blog post “Stupid Medicaid tricks: Utah figures out how to spend more to cover fewer people.” Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Hiltzik repeats exactly what Utahns have been saying: It’s a flagrant defiance of the people’s will. Meanwhile, Tennessee and Georgia—states we hope to emulate, apparently—are watching to see if the White House approves what Hiltzik calls “noxious” work requirements. And predictably, Gov. Gary Herbert says, oh no, he’s absolutely honoring the people’s will. Instead, he calls the anti-Medicaid bill thoughtful, as if the people can’t think for themselves. And so it goes. We’ve said it before: Utah will spend money on everything but health care and education.

The Wrong Legacy

How soon we forget the pain of the past. The Legacy Parkway might be about to see the end of a hard-fought truck ban, cobbled amid multiple lawsuits and culminating in a compromise. Yes, look it up—compromise. Something lawmakers don’t do anymore. Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, fought the good fight in the Legislature to extend the ban, which has been in place since 2005. Of course, truckers favor ending the ban. Who cares about noise and pollution—or wetlands? Another lawmaker is pushing legislation to extend the ban five years, but lawsuits will be waiting. Roger Borgenicht of Utahns for Better Transportation notes that idea was to study the situation before moving ahead. Study. It’s a word.

NEWS Halfway through this year’s general session, here are a dozen notable bills to keep on your radar. BY RAY HOWZE rhowze@cityweekly.net @rayhowze1

Conversion Therapy

Slavery

Beer!

The bill: It’s no secret the country’s major brewers are deciding whether to continue to brew the weak 3.2 alcohol by weight (ABW) beer Utahns drink. Once Kansas’ stronger beer law takes effect April 1, Minnesota and Utah will be the only two states that peddle in the watered-down hops. But that could change. One bill being debated at press time would raise the ABW from 3.2 to 4.8 percent, on par with many other states. Cheers to that. Sponsor: Sen. Jerry Stevenson, R-Layton Status: Received approval on initial vote in Senate. Will be up for one more vote before moving to House.

Mugshot Privacy

The bill: Are you one of those people who peruse mugshots online? Or were you previously arrested, found not guilty, but every time anyone Googles your name, the dreaded mugshot pops up? One Utah lawmaker is proposing rules to remove photos from publications and websites. It would require that photos be pulled if the person

Vehicle Idling

The bill: Rep. Patrice Arent has long been a clean air stalwart. This year, she proposed a bill that would give municipalities a little more power in enforcing anti-idling ordinances. Instead of a previous three-warning requirement before law enforcement could issue a citation, they would now only need a single warning. This bill would adjust a 2012 law that restricts what cities can or can’t do to cut down on idling. Sponsor: Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Millcreek Status: Awaiting hearing in Senate Transportation, Public Utilities, Energy and Technology Committee.

Medicaid Override

The bill: Not to be outdone by the will of the people, the Legislature passed a sweeping overhaul of Proposition 3, the citizen initiative to expand Medicaid coverage to 150,000 Utahns. On the day the bill reached its final vote, faith leaders protested outside the House chamber to no avail. The bill costs more initially, covers fewer than 150,000 Utahns and will rely on a federal government waiver lawmakers hope will be approved. Sponsor: Sen. Allen Christensen, R-North Ogden Status: Passed and signed by governor.

Fringe Gambling

The bill: Luck be a lady tonight. In a move to clarify rules on some “fringe” gaming machines (remember, gambling is strictly illegal in this Puritan haven), the Legisla-

ture has advanced a bill to eliminate the devices. They look a lot like slot machines and are popular in gas stations, rest stops, convenience stores and even some fastfood restaurants around the state. City Weekly previously reported these machines still were popping up after a police crackdown a few years ago. Sponsor: Rep. Mike McKell, R-Spanish Fork Status: Passed by House and Senate. House now considering substitute version.

Inland Port Monitoring

The bill: The much-hullabalooed inland port in Salt Lake City’s Northwest Quadrant is coming. But as it progresses, one senator has proposed a bill that would require the Department of Environmental Quality to monitor air quality and assess other environmental impacts. Sponsor: Sen. Luz Escamilla, D-Salt Lake City Status: In Senate for second reading.

Plastic Bag Ban

The bill: Park City and Moab have ’em— bans on the use of plastic bags. But one Utah lawmaker wants to prevent cities from passing ordinances banning plastic bags, straws or containers. While Sen. Jani Iwamoto, D-Salt Lake City, has previously proposed legislation that would charge 10 cents per bag, Rep. Mike McKell tells Fox13 he’s “concerned with consistency in the marketplace,” and doesn’t want one city to ban them, another to charge for them and another ignore the issue. Sponsor: Rep. Mike McKell, R-Spanish Fork Status: Held in House committee. CW Bill statuses are current as of press time. For continued coverage of the 63rd legislative session, visit cityweekly.net

FEBRUARY 28, 2019 | 11

The bills: Can’t get enough juicy flag debate? Join the club. One lawmaker sought to create a commission to consider new state flag designs, while another bill came with a ready-made solution. The proposed flag included the year 1847—the year when the Mormon pioneers settled in Salt Lake Valley. But not all agreed the new penant should be tied to Mormon history. With

The bill: In a years-long debate on Capitol Hill, legislators have been unable to agree on a workable hate-crimes law. This year, however, we’ve seen the most promising sign yet—committee approval. The proposed bill would strengthen Utah’s hatecrimes statutes and add protected classes. Remember the homophobic attack just a week ago on Main Street? District Attorney Sim Gill told City Weekly his office couldn’t seek a hate-crimes-related enhancement because the current law is functionally useless … for now. Sponsor: Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City Status: Passed out of Senate committee, awaiting floor hearing.

requests it within a certain time period and prohibit companies from charging for their removal, among other things. Sponsor: Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City Status: Received a favorable recommendation from Senate committee.

| CITY WEEKLY |

State Flag Commission

Hate Crimes

If passed, a few bills could make this year’s Capitol Hill extravaganza one for the record books.

The bill: Say goodbye to slavery. Wait, what? Yes, it’s 2019 and Utah’s constitution still includes wording about slavery. In a mostly symbolic move, House Joint Resolution 8 would officially strike archaic language from the document. And the state can finally (?) move into the 21st century. Sponsor: Rep. Sandra Hollins, D-Salt Lake City Status: Approved by the House and awaiting discussion in the Senate.

The bill: Initially, Rep. Merrill Nelson, R-Grantsville, wanted to prohibit people from changing their assigned sex on their birth certificates. After some pushback and negotiating, he changed the bill to allow people to change it on their driver licenses, but not on birth documents. Criticised for being transphobic, Nelson’s bill was abandoned, but don’t be surprised to see other gender bills introduced in future legislative sessions. Sponsor: Rep. Merrill Nelson, R-Grantsville Status: Lawmakers agreed to not pursue the bill this session.

The bill: In a widely approved move, the Legislature is considering a bill that would ban conversion therapy for minors—a destructive process that attempts to change a youth’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Advocates say the bill will help reduce teen LGBTQ suicides and end a psychologically harmful practice. Sponsor: Rep. Craig Hall, R-West Valley City Status: Awaiting approval from House Rules Committee.

Gender Requirements

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

o the relief of some, and maybe a sad note for others, the Utah Legislature recently hit its halfway point. During the session’s 45 days, lawmakers work at lightning-fast speed to debate more than 1,000 bills. While the bulk go unnoticed, a few attract oodles of attention, draw criticism and trigger a head-scratch or two. Will Utahns finally have a state flag worthy of a mouse pad this year? Or be able to purchase full-strength beer at their neighborhood grocery store like normal people? Read on.

the argument still raging, both bills were squashed. Sponsors: Rep. Kevin Stratton, R-Orem; Rep. Stephen Handy, R-Layton Status: Bills did not advance out of committee.

The Pendulum Swings

| CITY WEEKLY |

There are dozens of people in the room, but it sometimes feels like it’s just two. At one point, Stewart gets flummoxed while talking about the Green New Deal and the impact that individual lifestyle changes can have on global climate. “Oh my heavens,” Stewart says, exasperated. “Why don’t you stand up and tell me what you want me to say. OK? Here, Shireen, let’s hear what you want me to say.” Ghorbani takes the bait. She says it looks as though Stewart is trying to answer their concerns, but is misunderstanding what his constituents are asking. She rephrases the question. “What I think we’re experiencing in terms of frustration is, could you talk about maybe some of the pieces of bigger things that could be happening in Congress around climate change?” Stewart chooses to answer his former opponent, a communications professional at the U, directly. “I was key, I was the key, to helping your employer, the University of Utah, get hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to develop and do research on geothermal in Central Utah,” he says, earning what feels like his only applause that evening. Some steam built, and fully conscious that she’s in his line of sight, Stewart keeps name-checking Ghorbani. At one point, he even takes a dig at her. “If you don’t

and her mom were close in the way that two-member households often are. “I had a great upbringing and a great mom,” Ghorbani says, remembering how the matriarch was so thrifty, she would drive family vehicles until they stopped running, then hitch a ride back home. “Those kinds of values of grit, and working hard, and being proud of what she had were important to her.” In June 2016, Ghorbani’s mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At 68, she qualified for Medicare, so she didn’t have to lose her house or life savings to pay for treatment. But the experience still left an impression on Ghorbani, who until that point had never considered a career in politics. “Thinking about what happened to other families … I just remember you could literally hear people getting calls from collectors in the hospital,” she recalls. “As they’re in the ICU. Getting those calls … paying those bills.” Her mom passed away by the end of that summer. Three months later, Trump was elected. “I couldn’t stand what was happening around the debate on health care, and specifically what Chris Stewart has done, which was vote against Obamacare every chance he got, without a single clear solution on how we were going to reduce the cost or increase access to health care,” Ghorbani says. “And that’s when I was just like, ‘I’m done with this. I’m absolutely unwilling to let a person go unchallenged who has no concrete answers for what I have learned.’” Ghorbani’s decision to run for office in the wake of present-day politics is symptomatic

“My plan is to see my congressman, who has not done a town hall in Salt Lake City proper in a year,” Ghorbani says before taking her seat. “I’m just interested to hear what progress he’s making on the issues that I know this district cares about.” Ghorbani catches Stewart’s eye right before he takes the stage. She waves emphatically, like they’re best friends; he gives a faint smile of recognition before looking away. “Are there any elected officials?” Stewart asks the crowd once he’s onstage. “Shireen, you might be an elected official in another couple days,” the Republican says, alluding to an empty Salt Lake County Council seat, which Ghorbani is eyeing. Ghorbani lets out a deep belly laugh. “Any day now,” she jokes. “Just keep running.” Stewart pulls names out of a box, to choose who gets to ask him questions. “Shireen, I’m hoping we pick you now,” he says after explaining why he’s against President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration. Ghorbani’s name never gets drawn. The conversation turns contentious as the hour grows late. Constituents yell at Stewart for bringing up Hillary Clinton, for equivocating on climate change and for not pushing back on Trump’s stance on international affairs.

like me—as Shireen was hoping for—then I would be voted out of office,” he tells the audience. Someone asks how to get him out, considering how gerrymandered the 2nd congressional district is. The congressman isn’t having it. “How you vote them out is you run a great candidate who can win the election,” he barbs. Crowd members swarm Ghorbani after the town hall. “You’re such a classy lady,” one woman gushes. “I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your efforts,” a man says. Ghorbani seems in her element, which makes sense—she’s been campaigning for a full year. Unmoved by her defeat to Stewart, she ran for Salt Lake County mayor after the midterms. When she lost that election, she pivoted and ran for county council. “You are relentless,” one guy confides. Stewart’s left the venue, but Ghorbani winds up staying, talking to his constituents. Then she quietly exits the room to head to another campaign event. In two days, she’ll be on a ballot for the third time in four months. As she enters the elevator, a woman wishes Ghorbani luck, and tells her something she seems to hear a lot these days: “I hope you win.”

ewer than 50 people trudged up Capitol Hill on a recent Thursday evening to witness U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart hold a rare Salt Lake City town hall. Attendees scattered throughout the auditorium, but Shireen Ghorbani sat in the second row. She and Stewart hadn’t seen or talked to each other since the representative bested Ghorbani in last November’s election.

Drinking the Kool-Aid

Georgenia Beams started questioning her political ideology sometime around the last presidential election. “Why am I a Republican?” she asked herself. The answer was right in front of her. “Because my father was a Republican, and he gave me an explanation of why he was years ago, and it seemed to fit. I just wore that until Donald Trump, and then I was like, ‘No, I won’t be that.’” Beams is explaining her political awakening to Ghorbani inside Taylorsville’s City Hall one weeknight in February. A precinct chair, Beams is one of three central committee members sitting at an oversized conference table listening to the council candidate’s pitch for why she’d make a good Wilson replacement. Beams supported Wilson in the Salt Lake County mayoral race, but says she liked what Ghorbani had to say. Ghorbani, she says, effortlessly engages with everyone, regardless of their party affiliation or political history. And that makes neophytes afraid to come out of the woodwork more likely to engage in the political process. “Most of the people I know have never done any of this stuff before,” Beams says. Her newfound openness to Democratic ideals has strained some of her relationships with her family and friends. “It’s hard to come out,” she half-jokes. Ghorbani listens intently as the conversations turn personal. The topics run the gamut—from access to mental health care, to water quality, to the local and national Democratic Party’s political machine. Ghorbani intermittently chimes in to explain what falls under the purview of the county, as opposed to the duties of the city, state and federal governments. She’s adamant that Salt Lake County must explain to its residents how they can access available resources. “Just trying to navigate these systems is confusing for people. Especially when you’ve got busy lives, when you’ve got a full-time job, when you’ve got all these things going on. How are you supposed to stay engaged?” Ghorbani asks. “So, I’m trying to help people understand, ‘Here’s how you do it.’”

One of the attendees tells Ghorbani that she doesn’t have to win her over. “Well, I’ve already drank the Shireen Ghorbani Kool-Aid,” Janna Martin says. The local high school history teacher voted for her in the congressional and mayoral races. Martin talks to Ghorbani like they’re personal friends, not a candidate and voter in the midst of political courtship. “I feel like you are a shining star, and I’m curious where we put you,” Martin says. “I’m just thinking, is this the best place for you? How are you doing this? You have a little kid. How are you working? I don’t want you to campaign for the rest of your life, but I also think, ‘Really, City Council?’” The conversation turns aspirational. Why not run for governor, Martin asks, or take another shot at Stewart’s seat? “I will vote for you,” she says. “I’m just thinking, ‘Is this where you want to end up?’” Ghorbani shrugs it off. There are big decisions on issues she cares deeply about being made at the county level: health care, criminal justice reform, sustainable growth and development. “So it’s not about checking a box or, you know, it’s certainly not a consolation prize or a default to me, in any way,” Ghorbani says. “There is a long history of people serving in county government because they are such big entities,” she continues. “The county is the second-largest budget in the state.” It’s not like the constant campaigning has gotten to her, Ghorbani assures. “I am an extrovert in the way that introverts find exhausting,” she tells Martin. She loves knocking on strangers’ doors, regardless of whether they listen or ask her to go away. “It’s an incredible honor and privilege to run,” Ghorbani says. “To be able to sit here with you, to hear your story, to talk about what it is you’re hoping to see in the future of the Democratic Party, to talk about those issues related to the environment that we care about so much.” A few minutes into the exchange, Martin seems convinced. She asks if electing Ghorbani to the council would put her star on the rise on the state or national levels. “Or do you not want to go there? Are you not interested?” she insists. Ghorbani doesn’t miss a beat. She’s already committed to running for reelection should she secure Wilson’s seat, but her newfound political career will continue regardless of whether or not she wins. “I feel like I’m just getting started,” she answers.

The Newbie Leaves Her Mark

Ghorbani was hardly the only candidate vying for Wilson’s spot after being bested in other elections. Pamela Berry tried to pick up the District 5 seat last year; Darlene McDonald ran for McAdams’ mayoral seat; and Stone Fonua has campaigned for various offices on Republican, Democrat and Constitution Party tickets. And Josie Valdez, a self-described “lifelong Democrat,” ran for lieutenant governor and state senator in 2008 and 2012, respectively. Years earlier, she unsuccessfully ran for county assessor. But Ghorbani says her campaigning has mirrored present-day politicking, thanks to her commanding social media presence. She’s done an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, more than 7,500 people follow her Twitter feed and almost 15,000 people have liked her Facebook page. “Social media’s not everything, but a lot of people get their information there,” Ghorbani says. “There isn’t another candidate that’s run a [more] modern campaign.” Ghorbani is the firebrand to candidates like Valdez, a local Democratic Party stalwart. “I don’t think we’re rivals,” Valdez says. “I think the universe has brought us together to strengthen our party, and to strengthen the values that are so important to us. So, we work together.” Still, Valdez thinks there’s value in the wisdom that more battle-hardened candidates like herself offer. “There is no need to discard or disregard or throw away the experience of the more mature political involved, or the more politically experienced politician, to work together to enhance the representation of those we are representing, to make sure their voice is truly heard,” she says. Young blood is exciting, Valdez admits, because candidates like Ghorbani bring new ideas and energy to the Democratic Party. But that doesn’t mean politicos should discount the benefits borne from an extensive, professional history. “I do think that a certain amount of seasoning, a certain amount of practical experience, a certain amount of actual know-how, of being on the job and having dealt with governmental issues, governmental policies … is very important to actually serve on a fuller basis without trial and error, and periods of having to basically do on-the-job training,” Valdez says. Q. Dang, the Salt Lake County Democratic Party’s executive committee chair, says campaigning is an experience all its own. “There’s nothing like actually being the candidate. It’s one thing to work on the campaign, it’s another thing to have so much skin in the game ENRIQUE LIMÓN

of the times, Hinckley Institute of Politics’ Morgan Lyon Cotti says. “It’s a big explanation for the historic number of women and people of color who ran for office in 2018”—a move that landed Ghorbani, along with 47 others, on the cover of Time magazine. But Cotti cautions against seeing her as a new political archetype—the embodiment of a populace perennially obsessed with politics and always hungry for change. “We’ve seen other moments in state history and international history, where we felt like tides were shifting, where we saw more engagement,” she says. “But as with the pendulum swinging between parties, we also see this rise and fall of political engagement.” Ghorbani estimates she and her team knocked on 90,000 doors in the five months leading up to the election. She visited ranches in Escalante, businesses in St. George and people’s homes in Farmington. “When you spend time on doorsteps across this community, night after night after night, and you hear the kinds of things people are dealing with in their personal lives, it’s hard to stop wanting to help and serve and show what good government looks like, and be accessible and responsive and all of those things that I think we want from our representatives,” she says. Stewart wound up winning with 56.1 percent of the vote, but 67 percent of Salt Lake County voters favored Ghorbani, and a seed was planted. Ghorbani earned 38.9 percent of the vote across the district, the closest any Democrat has come to knocking Stewart off his perch. The second-closest was Charlene Abraham, who received 33.9 percent of votes back in 2016. Ghorbani’s “credible campaign,” so described by University of Utah Political Science Professor Matthew Burbank, raised her profile among state Democrats. The 37-year-old proved to be an adept coalition builder who knew how to raise resources and run a strong ground game, Burbank says. “I think what you saw from Ghorbani was a real effort to try and campaign.” She’s been doing it ever since. Undeterred by the loss, Ghorbani jumped right into another race. She threw her hat in the ring for Salt Lake County mayor, a position Ben McAdams vacated after he won an election to the U.S. House. Ghorbani wound up losing to former Democratic Senate candidate Jenny Wilson by less than 80 votes. A few days later, Ghorbani announced she planned on running for Wilson’s vacant seat on the Salt Lake County Council. The trajectory defied conventional wisdom. Usually, candidates cut their teeth at lower-level positions, and then move toward higher office. “I wouldn’t expect more people would do what Ghorbani had done, particularly because it’s a hard thing to do,” Burbank says, referring to her Benjamin Button-style course. “If you do it badly, that’s what people remember.”

that you’re constantly thinking about anything you’re doing,” he says. “Until you are in that mindset of being a candidate and talking to your constituents, as the candidate, I don’t know how else you would prepare to be in political office.” Dang thinks Ghorbani brings a lot to the table. She’s a dynamic personality who’s unafraid to talk to Republicans, Democrats and Independents, he declares. And she’s proven to be a good fundraiser, a hard worker and a candidate that voters respond favorably to. “If the maps were drawn more competitively, I think that she’s the type of candidate that can win and take it to the national level,” Dang says, looking ahead to the weekend’s meeting of the Salt Lake County Democratic Central Committee, which will decide Ghorbani’s fate. “So, does she have a bright future ahead of her no matter how Saturday turns out? Absolutely.”

It’s Saturday, and Dang stands on the stage in the auditorium of Taylorsville’s Eisenhower Junior High, home of the Generals, telling the crowd what to expect. Each of the 10 candidates for Wilson’s seat will give a five-minute speech, after which committee members in attendance will cast ballots. If no one earns 60 percent of the votes, the top two competitors will square off in another round. Ghorbani electrifies the crowd when she walks onstage. “This energy that you feel, that you see, that you tell me about, it’s more than just my own story. It’s your stories,” she says amid raucous applause. “It is the unrelenting belief that we can do better, and we can do that work right here in Salt Lake County.” She talks about her mom and her campaign against Stewart. She lays out her vision for the future, which includes improving mass transit, reforming the criminal justice system and becoming a renewable energy leader. “The call to service that I feel is embedded in the work of Salt Lake County. It’s where my heart is,” Ghorbani says before asking the more than 500 Utahns in attendance for their vote. She wraps up her address by shining a light on one of the state’s more rampant health crises. “Let’s get this done for every family, every person facing addiction who feels there is no hope,” she says. “Let’s give them hope, and let’s get this done today.” Valdez, the last candidate to speak, is joined onstage by local leaders like Sheriff Rosie Rivera. She talks about her work in federal and city governments, and how, more than a decade ago, she was the first candidate of color to run for lieutenant governor. She highlights her experience serving on commissions, panels and boards that help the less fortunate. “As Shireen said, let’s get it done. And I agree with her, but let’s get it done with someone who has experience,” Valdez says. Unfazed, Ghorbani stands in the school’s cafeteria as people pass her on their way to the ballot box. She takes photos with admirers and thanks the people who tell her that they’re feeling good about her chances. “You got dumped on,” one man tells Ghorbani, referring to Valdez’s speech. “It pissed me off.” Differences aside, Valdez comes by and hugs Ghorbani on her way to her section of the cafeteria. “I enjoyed your presentation,” Valdez tells her opponent. Almost two hours pass as officials tally the 537 ballots. Ghorbani is on her feet almost the entire time, talking with voters and checking in with volunteers. Once the results are in, she reenters the auditorium and sits at the edge of the room. “Shireen Ghorbani, 295 votes, 55.35 percent,” Dang reads. She’s just shy of the cutoff to win the election outright. Valdez, it’s revealed, earned 19.7 percent of the votes, putting her in second place. They’ll have to face off once more to determine who wins the seat. Valdez goes first. She emphasizes health care, affordable housing and the importance of diversity and representation among the local Democratic Party and county council. “I have been leading the way for change,” Valdez says. “There is a lot to be done, and I can bring that change.” The crowd is more subdued the second time Ghorbani approaches the lectern. She pledges to fight for working-class families and support labor unions before making her final plea. “As the daughter of an immigrant, as a person who is fighting for the very future that I need to see not 10 years from now, but right now—a future where we’ve got access to mental health care, where we have access to addiction treatment services, where we have the kind of open spaces that we need, and the quality of life across every zip code of this county—I am asking for your vote today because I will be out there with you, fighting from downtown Salt Lake City to Bluffdale, to turn this entire county blue in 2020,” she says. Ghorbani hugs and high-fives her way across the cafeteria as she waits for the final count. Even with the race technically over, she keeps politicking for about an hour before everyone is called back into the auditorium. The final count is in. “For Josie Valdez, we had 127 votes,” Dang reads. “Shireen Ghorbani, 333 votes.” Three attempts in, Ghorbani’s turn had finally come. Ecstatic, she ambles up to the mic with her husband and 4-year-old son in tow. Taking in the moment, she profusely thanks her family and campaign volunteers. “To all of you who supported me from the very beginning, when I came out of nowhere because I was mad as hell and completely unwilling to back down for the future that I want for each and every one of us,” she says, “I am so ready to get to work for you.” The auditorium’s lights are shut off soon after the acceptance speech, leaving Ghorbani and her well-wishers in the dark. As she makes her way toward the school’s exit, the newly minted county councilwoman reflects on the path that got her here. She encourages anyone who is interested in running for office to follow through on their ambition and take the plunge. “You’ve gotta keep going,” she urges. “Just do absolutely everything that you can to build that future that you want.” CW

Hale Centre Theatre combines ballet, George Gershwin’s music, Ira Gershwin’s lyrics and the dancing influence of Gene Kelly in their Utah production of An American in Paris, which runs through April 6. The schedule includes nightly shows Mondays through Fridays, with three showtimes on Saturdays. The Gershwin brothers originally wrote An American in Paris as a musical in 1928, and it achieved further acclaim when the film version won an Academy Award for best picture in 1951. The movie features a celebrated 17-minute ballet scene danced by Kelly and Leslie Caron, but it’s also full of immediately recognizable songs. “The Gershwin music in this show is as relevant and moving as it was when it was written,” David Tinney, who directs the HCT production, says. “When you hear songs like ‘I Got Rhythm’ and ‘’S Wonderful,’ it feels familiar and yet still so fresh and new.” This production marks the HCT debut of Juliet Doherty, who has performed at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center and danced with the Rockettes, in the role of Lise. “The Hale was given special permission directly from the Gershwin family to produce An American in Paris in Utah,” Sally Dietlein, HCT vice president and producer, says. The performances mark the regional premiere of the play and take place on the Young Living Centre Stage at the HCT complex. (Geoff Griffin) An American In Paris @ Hale Centre Theatre, 9900 S.

Now, more than ever, listening to the voices of black men and women is essential to understanding who we are as a nation and as individuals, and to moving forward in the 21st century. Last year, Major Jackson was named part of a new literary vanguard of black male writers by The New York Times, which cited the 32 men in the group for their contributions to an “extraordinary period of artistry.” Jackson has an impressive résumé: Poetry editor at the Harvard Review; distinguished professor at the University of Vermont; and recipient of numerous prizes and fellowships, among them a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Pushcart Prize. His four published poetry collections include 2015’s Roll Deep, a documentation of his travels, the urban landscape and the perils of having a black body in this world. The Times described it as “a remixed Odyssey whose speaker ‘rolls deep’ the same way Odysseus did as he worried and warred far from home, by staying true to where he’s from.” In Jackson’s case, that’s Philadelphia, a place he returns to and ranges away from again and again. His fifth collection, The Absurd Man, is expected next year, so perhaps we might hear some new poems alongside the old. Jackson’s poetry is meant to be read out loud—in an interview with Poets & Writers, he described writing the lines, the music of the poems, first: “Where sound and sense are so interwoven that it goes beyond the first dimension of meaning.” Who better than the poet himself to create that sonic landscape? In addition to the Thursday night reading, Jackson conducts a Q&A on Friday, March 1, at noon. (Naomi Clegg) Major Jackson @ Finch Lane Gallery, 54 S.

With her unabashedly childlike attitude and unbridled enthusiasm, Andy Erikson comes across as the giggly all-American girl next door, one who’s unceasingly smiley, strikingly self-aware, yet shy and self-effacing. Those qualities find the 32-year-old comedian eliciting laughter by way of her natural charm and wistful reflection. Her topics include her love of cats and unicorns, descriptions of nerdy friends, reflections about growing up in a trailer park and thoughts on living with a genetic disorder known as Marfan syndrome, a disease that results in elongated extremities and adverse effects on a person’s internal organs. “Growing up with a heart condition, I felt different and alone,” she says via email. “But as a comedian, I get to embrace what makes me different and inspire others to do the same.” That’s part of the reason Erikson always manages to endear herself to her audiences. “I think comedy is a powerful thing,” she continues. “It connects us and has healing powers as well. I like to write jokes and tell stories that remind people that although this world can be dark and scary at times, it’s also a silly and magical place.” Erikson means what she says; as just one example, she proposed to her boyfriend while onstage. Happily, he took her seriously and accepted. And her professional career is going just as well as her personal life. A finalist on the popular TV show Last Comic Standing and in numerous other comedy competitions, she also scored a recurring role on the popular Fox network series Scream Queens.

With the Sundance Film Festival still just in the rearview mirror, it’s easy to cling to the idea of a film festival as synonymous with edgy, adult fare. But great films come in all shapes and sizes, from all over the world and for every kind of audience. The Utah Film Center’s eighth annual Tumbleweeds Film Festival for Children and Youth provides an opportunity to invite movie-lovers of all ages into the experience of appreciating the art of filmmaking. Over its three days, Tumbleweeds showcases a program of features, short films, animation and documentaries for and about young people. The opening night feature, Supa Modo (pictured), tells the story of a 9-year-old terminally ill Kenyan girl named Jo and the way her village comes together to fulfill her dream of being a superhero. Director Likarion Wainaina is scheduled to attend for a genuine film-fest Q&A, and the feature is presented in the kid-friendly manner Tumbleweeds has employed over its history—with English subtitles on screen and English “subtitle reader” narration through assisted listening devices for audience members too young to read. For those who want to take their love of movies beyond simply watching them to being part of making them, Tumbleweeds also offers workshops on topics like sound effects for film, virtual reality storytelling, special effects makeup artistry and more in 90-minute sessions. If you think the world of movies for young people is limited to multiplex computer animation, think again.

stead of sending them back was a risk Tullius and Dykes were willing to take. “We know most of them will not come back, but we still hope some will respond to this story we put in their hands,” Dykes says. “Honestly, I’d be happy if they would treasure them, and so would the writers.” However, having an original set as a backup will help. “Knowing the end result was going to coincide with the 150th anniversary, we had to have an extra set to fall back on for the exhibit just in case,” Dykes adds. Once back in Utah, the books will be curated in time for an exhibit at the Rio Gallery, beginning in late April and running the length of the statewide celebration. Even though the books might still be lingering on trains as of press time, the impact on their carriers is taking effect. “We are already seeing stories starting to come in from writers of the encounters they have made and the sweet moments that have come out of the experience,” Dykes says.

Completed chapters of the 2019 edition of Train Tracts

Stefanie Dykes with chapters of Train Tracts

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

quote attributed to Lao Tzu attests that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. However, when it comes to the original Transcontinental Railroad, this 1,776-mile-long path—completed with a golden spike—has generated an infinite number of stories. Culminating Utah’s 150th anniversary celebration of this monumental achievement in May, two artists will present Train Tracts, a traveling literary experiment of connection between passengers and strangers. Featuring a collaboration between New Mexico writer Amie Tullius and local artist Stefanie Dykes, the journal is an innovative vision made up of 12 chapters, each one a carefully selected partnership between an artist and a writer. While the overall piece is short, each chapter is a unique work of art created by printmakers from around the world that complements transformative personal stories. But the greatest innovation comes from the part of this process that’s still ongoing: putting these chapters into the hands of actual rail passengers and letting them continue the creative process.

“Right now, I’m thinking a lot about connection,” Tullius, editor of the project, says. “How to reach across the divide with strangers. Because usually— almost always, really—it’s not hard to connect with another human. It is hard to be vulnerable, though, and take the risk. It’s often easier to say nothing and not be friendly. But there is power in those small moments with strangers when you do reach out—even if just in a small way.” Given the broad writing prompt to create a nonfiction piece about making connections, the stories form an eclectic collection with subjects covering immigration, childbirth, complicated friendships and even a conversation between trees, in elegant prose. The resulting tales were then carefully matched with the printmakers, who further reveal the narrative’s beauty. Tullius, a gallery director and writer in Santa Fe, teamed up with Dykes, a contributor to the original 2008 version of Train Tracts and co-founder of Saltgrass Printmakers, a non-profit printmaking studio located in Salt Lake City. Dykes reached out last year to printmakers, while the artists reviewed the texts and created mini art books, each a freestanding chapter. Using traditional printmaking and detailed bookmaking techniques, the text is often hand letter-pressed. Some editions include art supplies so readers can add drawings or notes as they move from passenger to passenger, while others add small gifts of appreciation. Most appear as traditional books on high-quality paper, but others take advantage of open-ended creativity with colorful materials. All are true works of art. With completed chapters in hand, volunteers then spent time over Valentine’s Day weekend at Amtrak stations, interacting with travelers, selecting participants based on their interest and sending the tracts on their way. The books were intended to travel the rails for one week before being dropped into the mailbox, self-addressed and stamped for Saltgrass. “Right now, it feels especially brazen to walk up to a stranger and give them a work of art they weren’t expecting,” Tullius says. “So, there’s a way in which the project is a peace offering in this fraught time: ‘Let’s be good to each other. I’ll go first.’” The possible temptation for riders to keep the books in-

It’s owned by Jana and Jeff Whiting, whose Pizzeria Limone restaurants have expanded to six locations across the state, and it’s clear that they’re still fixated on the many bread-related wonders Europe has given the world. In the case of Beaumont, all eyes are on the croissant. A quick glance at the pastry display

hen a new bakery opens even remotely close to my neck of the woods, my wife and I typically drop what we’re doing and commit to a pastry pilgrimage. No matter how far the trip, we’re quick to shrug off the grocery shopping, car maintenance and other trappings of adulthood in favor of chancing upon our next favorite bake shop—we have priorities, after all. We made one such visit to Beaumont Bakery & Café (3979 S. Wasatch Blvd., 801-676-9340, facebook.com/beaumontbakerycafe) not long after it opened, and it’s become a guaranteed pit stop if we ever find ourselves in the Millcreek foothills.

of arriving with unwieldy strips of bacon lolling outside the sandwich limits, Beaumont spreads bacon jam across the bottom bun. It’s a great way to tone down the aggressive bacon-y flavor—and help the sandwich maintain an overall symmetrical presentation. The surprise star of this dish is the watercress layer just between the egg and melted cheddar cheese. It lends a crisp freshness to the overall package that cuts through the flavors just enough for the truffle aioli to come through. For me, the sandwich almost veers into slider territory, considering its size, but every bite was full of rich, unexpected flavor combinations. Based on its hip interior, proximity to shopping and unadulterated appreciation of butter and sugar, Beaumont Bakery is going places. Whether you’re looking to pop in for something tasty to go or planning on a late breakfast, it’s time to add it to your Millcreek must-list. CW

right amount of brown butter glaze. This is also a pastry you can safely enjoy while behind the wheel. While cruffins and crullers can be procured at many local bakeries, I must admit I’ve never seen a croissant loaf before. It’s the same dough they use to make their trademark pastries, but it’s twisted together and baked in a loaf pan, creating a delectably airy canvas. I have a sneaking suspicion that the chefs at Beaumont only developed this technique so they could completely change the game when it comes to French toast ($9.75, pictured). This right here is a Francophile’s dream breakfast—croissant dough lovingly guided through the pain perdu process, served with a jar of brown butter syrup, and, just for the hell of it, a sliced banana with brûléed sugar on top. French toast isn’t something that typically catches my attention on the breakfast menu, but this gooey, buttery, flaky and sugary dish is a complete revelation. Beaumont also makes some bold choices when it comes to the humble breakfast sandwich. The Truffle Bun ($8.75) looks like an unassuming scrambled egg sandwich on the surface, but there are some fabulous surprises within its brioche superstructure. For instance, instead

that Beaumont’s heart is crescentshaped and slathered in butter. To their credit, such dedication to this pastry and its less-conventional cousins has paid off. I’d argue that it’s hard to find a bad croissant— even those found in your local supermarket’s bakery have their charm— but making a truly great croissant is a balancing act of flavors and textures, which is something that Beaumont absolutely nails. Regardless of which one you choose, each layer has a perfectly crisp lamination that breaks through into a soft and chewy center that is impossible to resist. For those inclined to deviate from the croissant selection, the lemon cruffin is a tart little pastry that offers a pleasant smack to the mouth. Before taking this ride, however, keep in mind that the cruffins at Beaumont tower over the rest of the pastry selection like a flaky metropolitan skyline—under no circumstances should you eat one of these while operating heavy machinery. The exterior layer has the same golden crunch as the croissants, but the cruffin shape unfolds into a tapestry of beautiful chewiness spiked with lemon curd. The cruller presents the sharpest contrast to the cruffin—it’s as light as a cloud and coated with just the

If you’ve ever seen a Snowie shaved-ice shack on a suburban street corner and been struck with the notion that you, too, could sell shaved ice, then you’re in luck. Snowie, one of Utah’s largest shaved-ice companies is holding its sixth annual Snowie Summit from Thursday, Feb. 28, to Friday, March 1. It’s essentially a convention for shaved-ice aficionados of all stripes—from those interested in getting into the business to those just seeking to keep up with the industry’s new and exciting trends. Expect to see breakout sessions that touch on several different self-employment techniques, ranging from social media promotion to making inroads with the local chamber of commerce. The event takes place in Salt Lake City at 1006 W. Beardsley Place, and more information can be found at snowie.com.

Turmeric Indian Cuisine Opens

As implied by its name, the recently opened Turmeric Indian Cuisine (280 E. 12300 South, Ste. 110, Draper, 801-999-4133, turmericutah.com) is focused on extolling the virtues of turmeric, the tasty yellow powder that plays a large role in Indian cooking. In addition to some of the classic Indian staples like tikka masala and saag, it looks like Turmeric has a bit more variety in its menu. There’s a decent selection of Indian street food like kathi rolls and hakka noodles, plus a whole section of goat specialties. I’m a big believer in the transformative power that curry has on goat—if you’re itching to try goat for the first time, this is the way to go.

Two beers that bring hints of spring. BY MIKE RIEDEL comments@cityweekly.net @utahbeer

’m pretty much done with winter. My disposition is about as gray as the sky, and my beer cravings are skewing more toward the spring beer styles. I guess this week’s selections represent those cravings. Both are very different, but similarly spring-like in attitude. Kiitos Brewing Double Dry-Hopped Pale Ale: This pours a nice hazy orange-juice color, with three fingers of just slightly off-white head. The beer is half hazy but not totally clouded, with lots of visible carbonation. There’s an attack of tropical fruits right away, with pineapple and a stone-fruit cocktail assaulting the nose; a touch of juicy mandarin orange and zesty grapefruit rounds it out. This beer smells ridiculously good! The beer follows the nose with a wave of pineapple bombarding my taste buds. Some mango, peach and pear follow behind all that pineapple. The tropical and stone-fruit notes transition into the mid palette, and there is a really faint note of white bread crust. As the beer moves into the finish, it lets you know it’s all beer. More grapefruit zest and orange peel come through than the nose leads on,

and the citrus adds a noticeable bitterness. Also, a good amount of grassiness and some of that hop sting gives the beer a bit of balance; the hops linger a bit in the aftertaste. It has a light body with a high amount of flavor. This 4 percent beer has a really long finish to go along with all of the lingering touches the high doses of hops create. Overall: This is a great example of a Utah brewery working extremely well within the constraints put on it. You know by the body that this is a light beer, but the flavor assault on the tongue pushes you into that “I could give a shit” attitude. SaltFire Brewing Co. Saison de Trahison—Black Currant and Black Cherry: This pours a semi-hazy rubyfuchsia color with a good two fingers of fairly dense and fluffy light pink head. The aroma is big with lightly tart berries—the cherry and currants are most noticeable— plus melon with light clove and herbal grass. At first taste, you’re met with black currants. They’re slightly tart and full with very little sweetness and carry a slight tannic smack. Some grape and apple flavors are also present. From there, the currants transition into cherry, which is less vague and in full control of its profile. Its classic bittersweet, tart and almond flavors compliment the black currants well. Moderate peppery yeast spiciness begins to emerge from the base Saison. There’s a great complexity and robustness that balances the fruity, spicy

yeast, currants, bready malt and earthy hop flavors, along with a great malt-to-spice balance and zero astringent flavors after the finish. There is a moderate dryness from the spiciness and carbonation, increasing through the glass, but zero warming alcohol from this 6.3 percent Saison. Overall: This is an outstanding fruited Saison, offering great balance between fruit and yeast character. Its complexity, robustness and balance of fruity, spicy yeast is very smooth, crisp, clean and refreshing to drink. It might be a touch on the fruity side, but there is no residual sweetness. Never overly prickly on carbonation, it’s a highly enjoyable offering. If you choose to go with the Kiitos Double Dry-Hopped, you can find it on draft at the brewery; cans are also available in their brewery store. The berry Saison is available to enjoy at SaltFire and to-go. Ask your favorite beer pub if they have it as well. As always, cheers! CW

Celtic mainstays Shanahy reunite to kick March off right at IAMA’s Local Concert Series. BY NICK McGREGOR comments@cityweekly.net @mcgregornick

ith February in the rearview mirror and the calendar changed to March, we’ve got plenty to look forward to: warmer temperatures, less snow, longer daylight hours. And, for those of us who are so inclined, St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish cultural and religious celebration commemorated in more countries than any other national festival. Good tidings and green beer are only the tip of the iceberg, however. March unleashes a cavalcade of Celtic music in and around Salt Lake Valley. And on the first day of the month, the Intermountain Acoustic Music Association’s Local Concert Series takes listeners on a journey to the British Isles. Opening the show is Pennyland, named after the Anglicized word for the amount of land a Scottish tenant farmer or crofter could rent for one penny a month. Formerly known as Annie’s Romance, Pennyland today pays tribute to the Scottish crofters who, dreaming of better opportunities, crossed the Atlantic to settle first in Cape Breton and Nova Scotia and eventually, all over North America. The big draw on March 1, however, is a reunion of Shanahy, one of the longest-running ensembles in Utah. Like Pennyland, Shanahy—made up of Kate MacLeod, Andrew Morrill, Bronwen Beecher and Mark Hazel—don’t limit their creative output just to Irish music. Yes, they explore traditional forms of music from the British Isles played on fiddle, highland pipes, cauld wind pipes, uilleann (Irish) pipes, whistle, flute, bodhrán and guitar. But in addition to traditional jigs, reels, strathspeys, waltzes and airs, Shanahy injects a fair bit of contemporary influence into their songs. “We are all specialists in Celtic music,” MacLeod says. “Andrew, our bagpiper, is from a long line of family members who’ve passed the instrument down through generations, which is not unusual. I’ve played Celtic fiddle since I was a teenager, too, although I studied classical violin. But we all love playing the music together as Shanahy, even if we only do it in March and now and then at festivals and weddings in the summer.” Although each of Shanahy’s members has a thriving individual career, as a group they have released three albums: Trip to Bally-

The Tradition Continues

mena, Far Away and A Fair Land Lies Before Me. In addition, MacLeod and Beecher are well known as instructors, which jives with the IAMA’s mission to serve musicians and music lovers throughout the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain region. Each Local Concert Series event is usually preceded by an instructional session; on March 1, Steve Lewis leads a free harmonica workshop crafted to the level and interest of those in attendance. MacLeod has also taught annual songwriting workshops for IAMA. “Some of my friends started the organization as the Intermountain Bluegrass Music Association in the ’80s,” MacLeod says. “It’s morphed and changed over time, becoming more inclusive. But it’s still very supportive of local acoustic musicians, giving them an environment to play in that’s not a bar and doesn’t fit in with what mainstream audiences may be looking for.” That environment is fan friendly: South Valley Unitarian Universalist Society in Cottonwood Heights welcomes listeners of all ages. Outside food, beer and wine are OK, while intimacy and interaction between audience and performer is encouraged. “A lot of people who are involved in music tangentially come to these concerts,” MacLeod says. “Maybe they don’t play music now, but at some point most of them had a music experience that made them love it. Maybe they’re grown-up hippies or they were in a band when they were young. That allows them to enjoy these concerts in this whole other underground, non-commercial way.” In fact, the exchange of money at IAMA events flows directly to artists, who receive 100 percent of proceeds from Local Concert Series ticket sales ($7 for IAMA members; $12 for non-members). “That’s rare for us,” MacLeod says. “That’s why we musicians consider it one of the best performance opportunities in the state. In addition, the IAMA gives a lot of musicians the chance to intermingle more than they normally would. Since I don’t love one style of acoustic music more than another, I’ve always liked the way it gives us a bigger network.” That network continues to expand, even if Celtic music is only played during a small slice of the year. MacLeod moved here 30 years ago to study violin making; reflecting on how many other music community icons ended up here in much the same fashion,

Shanahy she laughs and says, “We call it Little Cremona,” recalling the Italian city famed for its violin making. MacLeod says that, for her, Celtic music is a personal passion but a professional hobby. “I only say that because 90 percent of the time, I play my own music on tour outside the state. I’m not a native of the British Isles, so for me it’s a little bit more authentic to claim that I’m an American musician. I perform Celtic music in this region because I love the music.” Talking about the roots of the word “Shanahy,” which has several spellings but is generally considered a translation of storytelling or storyteller, MacLeod offers an eye-opening anecdote: “Celtic music is encouraged, passed down, organized and kept alive in a very different way than other types of music. In Ireland and Scotland, music allows people a way to feel good. To them, that’s a beautiful thing. It’s not culturally disposable.” Recalling a night in a country pub in a small Irish town, she says, “As an American, you always assume that Celtic musicians are just tolerating us. But one night, I got invited to perform at the late session, which didn’t start until midnight and went on until 3 a.m. The musicians were people in the community: farmers, retired people. But to close the session, the elder started to sing ‘We Shall Overcome.’ I was a kid on the East Coast during the civil rights era, and that song almost became sort of a cliché. But hearing this Irish man sing it in the context of his own world and his people’s troubles, it shocked me. If you sing a song and really mean it, it’s not a cliché. Music is still about people, and you realize that when you go places where it’s a traditional part of people’s daily lives. That’s what I love about Celtic music. We’ve lost that in our modern commercial world.” CW

THURSDAY 2/28 Muse, Walk the Moon

The stadium-stomping English rock band Muse has a history of throwing fans off its tracks. Frontman Matt Bellamy promised a 15-minute space-rock guitar solo on 2009’s The Resistance, but somewhere along the way the “solo” turned into the three-part “Exogenesis Symphony,” which was a fullblown symphony. It wasn’t exactly a disappointment —“Exogenesis Symphony Pt. 1: Overture” absolutely slayed live—but it also wasn’t anything close to what was advertised. The bombastic three-piece continued giving everyone the runaround in the lead-up to its Grammy Award-winning 2015 album Drones, promising a back-to-basics approach that wouldn’t rely on so much studio magic. In Muse’s sci-fi world, “basic” turns out to mean a high-concept heavy metal album helmed by AC/DC producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, featuring a 10-minute centerpiece (“The Globalist”) and a marathon tapping solo (“Reapers”). So, naturally, skepticism abounded when Bellamy, fresh off the Drones tour, announced that Muse had grown weary of big-budget productions and would head into the studio to record an acoustic album. Sure enough, the project turned into what drummer Dominic Howard now describes as a “sci-fi neon electronic extravaganza.” Indeed, the end product, last year’s Simulation Theory, is so far over the top it’s pushing through the exosphere. The Simulation Theory World Tour promises to be equally bonkers, as the band has revealed that an enormous killer cyborg that shoots lasers from its mouth will preside over the band onstage.

FRIDAY 3/1

Lords of Acid, Orgy, Little Miss Nasty, Genitorturers, Gabriel and The Apocalypse

The early ’90s was a Euro-invasion blur of sex-driven, eye shadowwearing, chain-wielding ravers “smacking bitches up.” It was a great time indeed, but when the age of the internet came, everything changed. MTV started axing the M from its network, people started downloading music instead of buying records and many in the industrial/electronic genre were unprepared to endure the dawn of the new millennium. Lords of Acid were not one of those groups. Founder Praga Khan kept his fans waiting for six years before releasing his latest album, Pretty In Kink, on a quest to remind America and the rest of the world about the “pleasures of drugs, hedonism and deviant sex.” Let’s be honest: With the recent government shutdown and fight over the wall President Donald Trump wants to erect on the southern border, we could use a night of pleasure. Despite frequent lineup changes (and Khan himself going solo), these acid-infused Belgians continue to reshape house music and the new beat genre. Before Pretty In Kink dropped, Lords of Acid’s supercharged frontwoman DJ Mea left the group, leaving fans bewildered about the band’s fate. Around that time, Khan enlisted fellow Belgian Marieke Bresseleers to take over lead vocals. Fans across America will get a first chance to witness what Bresseleers brings to the table. Plus, industrial death-pop band Orgy comes back from a long hiatus for the show. Pair that with hardcore music from Little Miss Nasty, Genitorturers and Gabriel & The Apocalypse and we’re totally bringing the ’90s to life in Salt Lake City.

Cherry Glazerr, Palehound

Hatched by then-15-year-old Clementine Creevy in her bedroom, Los Angeles-based Cherry Glazerr has grown along with Creevy since its first album, 2014’s Haxel Princess. The band’s loud, fuzzy, guitar-heavy rock and gliding, compulsive hooks have gained clarity and edge, looking outward on 2017’s Apocalipstick. An incisive social commentary on ingrained sexism, the vagaries of navigating early adulthood, art and love, capitalism, the mind-numbing nature of the 9-to-5 and instant gratification, it’s a gem: “I told you I’d be with the guys/ But I know better now than to be with the guys,” Creevy wails and sighs on the album’s catchy, spiteful, regret-tinged first number. Now, with 2019’s recently released Stuffed & Ready, Creevy looks inward, coming to terms with herself. “I’m exploring my own self-doubt,” Creevy said in a news release for the album. “With Apocalipstick, I was an overconfident teenager trying to solve the world’s problems. With Stuffed & Ready, I’m a much more weary and perhaps cynical woman who believes you need to figure out your own self first.” Pitchfork writer Maggie Lange describes the album as “a document of exhausted fury,” with Creevy “sound[ing] like she heard about some unacceptable bullshit and came into the studio the next morning, red-eyed and short-tempered and uninterested in hiding it.” It’s a witness of what it’s like to be a woman now, in this world: tired of having our power challenged, over the men treating us like toys to be set aside later, holding our tongues, seething with anger—but frankly kind of bored of it all. Boston indie-rock trio Palehound opens. (Naomi Clegg) Kilby Court, 741 Kilby Court, 7 p.m., sold out as of press time, all ages, kilbycourt.com

I must admit, when I first heard Action Bronson, I thought he sounded like Ghostface Killah, as did many rap fans. The voice inflection, the sensory details dripping from the aural canvas, the descriptive imagery of the good life, the confidence and swagger of a demigod—it was all there. But so was conflict. In 2015, when Bronson collided with Ghostface Killah over an interview on ESPN, I thought his career could have been cut short. Wu-Tang fans, affiliates and even Tony Starks himself were all at Bronson’s neckbeard, a situation that can lead to an early retirement in more ways than one, as New Yorkers and rap lovers alike know the Wu is nothing to fuck with, on and off the mic. How Action Bronson survived that beef to become one of contemporary hip-hop’s tastemakers is a story that sells. The 35-year-old Flushing, N.Y., native is now doing his thing as a talk show host, publisher and traveling food connoisseur. No matter whether he calls himself Bam Bam, Bronsoliño, Mr. Baklava or his traditional moniker, Action Bronson has distanced himself from comparisons by letting his largerthan-life personality shine through. Bronson puts on an entertaining stage show, including everything from kicking several stage-crashers off-stage WWE-style to getting kicked offstage himself by security. One Christmastime, he threw $2,000 worth of gifts into the crowd. He might just pull up a seat and relax and smoke a joint for a song or two—or let an instrumental set play while he eats a sandwich right fast. If past shows are any indicator, he might even start the show from a golf cart or port-a-potty. Be at The Depot to see what Action Bronson has planned for the Wasatch Front. Just don’t jump on stage (unless you have comprehensive health insurance). (Keith L. McDonald) The Depot, 13 N. 400 West, 7 p.m., $40, 21+, depotslc.com

Vanessa Silberman, Carissa Johnson

Sometimes the hardest-working individuals are the ones you never hear of. Blame lack of media exposure, limited promotion, scant resources or simply the abundance of other artists who crowd the spotlight. Whatever the reason, lack of wider recognition doesn’t negate the talent any given artist has to offer. Consider Vanessa Silberman—a singer, guitarist, record company owner and relentless rocker who has notched an EP and several singles on her own A Diamond Heart Production label, along with some 650 concerts and 17 tours of Europe and the U.S. in three years alone. In addition to opening for Alkaline Trio, Selector Dub Narcotic and The Breeders member Kelley Deal’s new band R. Ring, Silberman also earned a slot on last year’s Vans Warped Tour and was featured at the NAMM Show and the Star City Music Festival. Clearly, she has the energy and enthusiasm needed to attract more overall awareness. Little wonder, then, that her boldly named “Bigger & Better Tour” (also featuring Carissa Johnson) affirms that her duo’s reputation as “hardest working band of 2017 & 2018,” awarded by woman’s music blog Audiofemme, was obviously well deserved.

When a band’s two prime players happen to be the offspring of an iconic artist, it’s reasonable to expect the results will be something special. That means it was incumbent on Luther and Cody Dickinson—aka North Mississippi Allstars—to create an indelible impression even at the outset. Their dad, Jim Dickinson, was a renowned musician and producer with credits that included work with the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder and other legends. There’s something to be said about family legacy, but the demands of living up to that heritage can also be somewhat intimidating. Happily, Luther and Cody are up to the challenge. Their first album, Shake Hands With Shorty, garnered the group a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album, a feat repeated with the release of their two subsequent efforts. That’s in addition to the Blues Music Award they were awarded in 2001 and the No. 1 spot reached on the Billboard Blues Charts for album No. 8, Prayer for Peace. In addition, North Mississippi Allstars have become one of the better bands to call when session assistance is needed, as John Hiatt, Robert Randolph, John Medeski and the Black Crowes, with whom Luther has occasionally moonlighted, can attest. It’s easy to understand how this band actually lives up to its Allstar billing. (Lee Zimmerman) The State Room, 638 S. State, 8 p.m., $32, 21+, thestateroom.com

Staying warm in Salt Lake City is not as easy as it sounds this winter. Luckily, all it took was a Red Rock Bobcat Nutbrown at Porcupine Pub & Grille to warm my bones after a long day of falls and wipeouts at Brighton Resort. Porcupine has been in my sights for some time now, but after I heard they named their house bacon burger after Big Cottonwood Canyon, that sealed the deal. The pub was founded as a catalyst for skiers and outdoor lovers to gather and share their mountain stories over beer and delectable food. So I took a seat near the bar with my friend Trevor and we started sharing stories of our own. I quickly realized there was a group next to us doing the same: “The snow out here is way better than back East,” Jamie replied after overhearing me tell Trevor about the “incentives” of living in Utah. Jamie had just landed in the Beehive State from North Carolina to visit her brother and decided to bring her skis to the Greatest Snow on Earth. “You can’t beat the views or the trees either,” she added as Trevor and I scooted our chairs closer to her table to engage in more conversation. Once our food arrived, though, the conversation halted. A smoked Gouda & turkey sandwich and fry sauce was the ultimate recovery for those aforementioned spills down the mountain. Whether you snowboard or ski, Porcupine Pub & Grille is here to bring us together—just like its mission has been from the start.

Greta can’t generate the menace of vintage stalker thrillers.

Come and enjoy a great night of Country Music.

March 1st

Pixie and The Partygrass Boys

Isabelle Huppert and Chloë Grace Moretz in Greta initial connection between the two women certainly makes emotional sense right off the bat, as Frances—motherless and also estranged from her father (Colm Feore) because he has already begun another relationship—seeks a surrogate mother, while Greta seeks a surrogate daughter. Yet too much about the origins of Greta’s mental illness remains unexplored, and the icy reserve Huppert brings to a role isn’t likely to generate a sense of sympathy. Without a backstory, Greta simply becomes a monster —and monsters aren’t nearly as compelling as fucked-up but recognizably human people. Jordan manages to wrestle more than a little filmmaking satisfaction from this story, including a tense sequence built around Greta texting Frances photos showing her stalking Frances’ roommate (Maika Monroe). But Greta simply never manages to hit enough of the requisite psychological or visceral notes to make it feel like more than a disposable exploitation picture. Huppert’s Greta might be the surrogate mom from hell, but the movie is barely from heck. CW

fears for their safety were actually warranted. Greta plays a different game, and not a particularly successful one, by having Greta herself go off the rails too soon, and too obviously, for anyone to doubt that there’s something bad going down. It’s a standard bit of the “from hell” playbook for Frances to look out the window of the restaurant where she works and spot Greta staring holes into her from across the street; it’s a bit more confusing to have her still standing there when the police show up, apparently for the express purpose of making the police look callous and jaded. That early turn by Greta from needy to nightmarish allows Huppert to go full bonkers, and she turns in some entertaining moments when she goes gleefully over the top. Yet even then, director Neil Jordan doesn’t seem willing to fully take advantage of that whacked-out performance. There’s a potentially terrific scene when Greta—by now clearly homicidal—begins dancing mad pirouettes to the Chopin record she has put on. But instead of allowing that moment its full twisted glory, Jordan shoots it from the blurry POV of someone who has been drugged and is falling unconscious. Jordan has crafted many stylish spins on horror concepts over the years— from The Company of Wolves to Interview with the Vampire to his most recent feature, 2012’s Byzantium—yet this might have been a time when the right choice was to lean into not elegance, but mania. Then there’s the matter of the characters, where somehow Greta’s script—credited to Jordan and Ray Wright—manages to be both too obvious and lacking in detail. The

ourney back with me, friends, to the early 1990s. The internet was barely a twinkle in Al Gore’s eye, Russia was (for a moment, anyway) not the most dangerous threat to democracy and, at the movies, it was the era of the “from hell” psychological thriller. The latter involved tales of obsessive, disturbed characters and the terrified objects of those obsessions, piggybacking off the pop-culture phenomenon that was Fatal Attraction. Thus in the space of just a few years we had Single White Female (roommate from hell), The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (nanny from hell), Unlawful Entry (cop from hell), Pacific Heights (tenant from hell), The Crush (scorned teenager from hell) and more, all built around some free-floating anxiety that you never know when someone in close proximity to you is 100 pounds of crazy in a 50-pound bag. Greta feels cut from almost an identical cloth, while providing a sense of why even the most formulaic of those ’90s genre entries could work on a rudimentary level. Our connected characters are two lonely, emotionally isolated New Yorkers: Frances McCullen (Chloë Grace Moretz), a recent transplant still mourning the death of her mother the previous year; and Greta Hideg (Isabelle Huppert), a widowed pianist. They meet when Greta leaves her purse on a subway car and Frances decides to return it to her, leading to a friendship they both seem to welcome—until Frances has reason to believe that Greta is more calculating, and off-kilter, than she initially suspected. One of the fundamental dynamics of the “from hell” thriller was the slow burn of the antagonist’s emotional breakdown, leading our protagonist—and those around him or her—to question whether the protagonist’s

NEW THIS WEEK Film release schedules are subject to change. Reviews online at cityweekly.net APOLLO 11 BBB.5 Nary a talking head appears in Todd Douglas Miller’s documentary about the NASA mission that took man to the moon; the you-are-there intensity he gets from a 50-year-old event is astonishing. The archival material includes never-before-seen official footage, covering preparations for liftoff as the world watches, the voyage to the moon, and the landing and return. Strewn throughout are wonderfully humanizing tidbits, from the crew’s quips (Michael Collins tells mission control, when vital-sign indicators stop working, “If I stop breathing, I’ll be sure to let you know.”) to photo montages reminding us that these pioneers had childhoods, careers and families. And there are reminders of how monumental an undertaking this was, with hundreds of ground technicians sitting behind bank after bank of massive computers. There are moments when rapid-fire technical jargon becomes a lot to process, but it’s a terrific achievement to make the countdown to ignition feel as uncertain and fraught with consequence as if you didn’t know the outcome.

CURRENT RELEASES ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL BBB Director Robert Rodriguez’s adaptation of a 1990s manga story offers sci-fi fantasy in a familiar post-apocalyptic landscape, but with a surprising emotional connection. Circa 2563, cybernetics doctor Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz) recovers the abandoned core of a young woman he calls Alita (Rosa Salazar)—a cyborg with fierce fighting skills but no memory of her past. Rodriguez and the writers effectively establish this setting’s economy of gleaners, criminals and government-sponsored mercenaries, with the wow factor of various electronically-enhanced denizens. Best of all, Salazar invests Alita herself with an infectious humanity that transcends predictable scenarios and bland romance. That’s what a would-be blockbuster needs to stand out from the pack in 2019: Like Alita herself, it’s less about cutting-edge technology than about the heart that drives it. (PG-13)—SR FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY BB.5 In Stephen Merchant’s unlikely hands, this fact-based account of a working-class Norwich family obsessed with American pro wrestling is sharp and funny, with amiable performances and an interesting look behind the scenes at WWE. Teenagers Zak (Jack Lowden) and Raya (Florence Pugh), raised by one-time amateur wrestlers (Nick Frost and Lena Headey), both jump at the chance

to audition for WWE, but only Raya is selected by coach Hutch (Vince Vaughn) to go to Florida and train with other hopefuls. Raya, whose goth persona is at odds with the bubbly blondes she is teamed with, experiences self-doubt and flirts with the idea of changing herself to be more “normal”—familiar believe-in-yourself sports stuff. But if the film’s dramatic elements are generic, the humor—especially in the first half—is buoyant enough to make it worthwhile even for non-fans. (PG-13)—Eric D. Snider HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD BB.5 An animated franchise that had been a glorious exploration of reason over violence and human partnership with the natural world comes to a disappointing conclusion. Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), now leader of his Viking village, attempts to save dragonkind from cruel hunter Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham) by finding a legendary sanctuary for the beasts. Yet not only is The Hidden World not about this hidden world, it’s not about much of anything else, either. Everything Hiccup has been working toward over the previous movies is threatened, yet the stakes feel low. Sure, the world of Hiccup and Toothless still looks touchably gorgeous, and there’s nothing offensive here. Indeed, Hiccup remains a great example of non-toxic heroic masculinity. But his final adventure is sadly forgettable. (PG)—MaryAnn Johanson NEVER LOOK AWAY BB.5 Oscar nominee Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck offers an inall-but-name “great artist biopic”—based on the life of Gerhard Richter—and in hindsight, that explains a lot. He follows aspiring artist Kurt Barnert (Tom Schilling) over 26 years, from his childhood in Nazi Germany to his courtship with his eventual wife Ellie (Paula Beer) and his unknown family connection to Ellie’s father (Sebastian Koch). An epic 188-minute running time encompasses that journey, as von Donnersmarck touches on Nazi-era eugenics and political pedagogies influencing the creation of art. But ultimately the narrative becomes all about Kurt

trying to find his creative voice, and while von Donnersmarck stages many artist-at-work moments effectively, there’s still something vaguely off-putting about employing genuine historical cruelty as melodrama to serve a tale about a guy finding his creative Truth. (R)—SR

ISN’T IT ROMANTIC BBB Is it a cheat or a neat trick to spoof rom-com tropes while also fully embracing them? Rebel Wilson stars as Natalie, a plussized, romantically-cynical New Yorker who wakes up from a knock on the head to find herself living inside a romantic comedy. Erin Cardillo’s screenplay generally only takes love taps at the genre, rather the body blows landed by They Came Together, so the jokes rarely feel truly inspired. But Wilson delightfully underplays being in the unfamiliar role of desirable to a hunky, rich guy (Liam Hemsworth) and her nice-guy coworker (Adam Devine). You might see the moral coming from a mile away, but you can chuckle both at the idea of people spontaneously breaking into a production number and at the production number itself. (PG-13)—SR

THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART BBB Five years and four Lego features after 2014’s The Lego Movie, its burst of imagination in the great sea of CGI-animated sameness has given way to something simply fun and diverting, as Emmet (Chris Pratt), Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) and friends try to fight off Duplo invaders. The script aims again for a mix of winking nods at blockbuster filmmaking and a recognition of how real-world kids process their world through play. And while the gags are generally satisfying, it’s hard for the whole thing not to feel like a Duplo-cation of the original, including the attempt to create an earwormy theme song. In fact, at times it feels more like it’s trying to mimic the Toy Story franchise—a fine model for great animated filmmaking, but not quite as effective as when everything was awesome and completely distinctive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Until the 16th century in much of Europe and the 18th century in Britain, the new year was celebrated in March. That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal new year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life. If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions now, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on Jan. 1. ARIES (March 21-April 19): South Koreans work too hard. Many are on the job for 14 hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and internet and important appointments. Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this—minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Scientist Michael Dillon was shocked when he learned that some bees can buzz around at lofty altitudes where the oxygen is sparse. He and a colleague even found two of them at 29,525 feet—higher than Mt. Everest. How could the bees fly in such thin air? They “didn’t beat their wings faster,” according to a report in National Geographic, but rather “swung their wings through a wider arc.” I propose that we regard these high-flying marvels as your soul animals for the coming weeks. Metaphorically speaking, you will have the power and ingenuity and adaptability to go higher than you’ve been in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When Europeans invaded and occupied North America, they displaced many indigenous people from their ancestral lands. There were a few notable exceptions, including five tribes in what’s now Maine and Eastern Canada. They are known as the Wabanaki confederacy: the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Mi’kmaq, Maliseet and Abenaki. Although they had to adjust to and compromise with colonialism, they were never defeated by it. I propose we make them your heroic symbols for the coming weeks. May their resilient determination to remain connected to their roots and origins motivate you to draw ever-fresh power from your own roots and origins. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn javelin thrower Julius Yego won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. How did he get so skilled? Not in the typical way. He gained preliminary proficiency while competing for his high school team, but after graduation, he was too poor to keep developing his mastery. So he turned to Youtube, where he studied videos by great javelin throwers to benefit from their training strategies and techniques. Now that you’re in an intense learning phase of your cycle, Capricorn, I suggest that you, too, be ready to draw on sources that might be unexpected or unusual or alternative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The first edition of Action Comics, which launched the story of the fictional character Superman, cost 10 cents in 1938. Nowadays it’s worth $3 million. I’ll make a bold prediction that you, too, will be worth considerably more on Dec. 31, 2019, than you are right now. The increase won’t be as dramatic as that of the Superman comic, but still: I expect a significant boost. And what you do in the next four weeks could have a lot to do with making my prediction come true.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you find it a challenge to commit to an entirely plant-based diet? If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, which is a lessperfectionist approach that focuses on eating vegetables but doesn’t make you feel guilty if you eat a bit of meat now and then. In general, I recommend you experiment with a similar attitude toward pretty much everything in the coming weeks. Be strong-minded, idealistic, willful and intent on serving your well-being—but without being a maniacal purist.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): At a young age, budding Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath came to a tough realization: “I can never read all the books I want,” she wrote in her journal. “I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.” Judging by current astrological omens, I can imagine you saying something like that right now. I bet your longing for total immersion in life’s pleasures is especially intense and a bit frustrated. But I’m pleased to predict that in the next four weeks, you’ll be able to live and feel more shades, tones and variations of experience than you have in a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lemmer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colo. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress. Having been trained in CPR, Lemmer leaped to his rescue and saved his life. I expect that you, too, will perform a heroic act sometime soon, Gemini—maybe not as monumental as Lemmer’s, but nonetheless impressive. And I bet it will have an enduring impact, sending out reverberations that redound to your benefit for quite some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Charles Grey was the second Earl of Grey, as well as prime minister of England from 1830 to 1834. His time in office produced pivotal changes, including the abolition of slavery, reform of child labor laws, and more democracy in the nation’s electoral process. But most people today know nothing of those triumphs. Rather, he is immortalized for the Earl Grey tea he made popular. I suspect that in the coming weeks, one of your fine efforts might also get less attention than a more modest success. But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work. I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The astrology column you’re reading is published in periodicals in four countries: the U.S., Canada, Italy and France. In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the U.S. nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as prime minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality. And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome. Homework: Meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you gorge on sugary treats and soft drinks, you ingest a lot of empty calories. They have a low nutrient density, and provide you with a scant amount of minerals, vitamins, protein and other necessities. Since I am committed to helping you treat yourself with utmost respect, I always discourage you from that behavior. But I’m especially hopeful you will avoid it during the next three weeks, both in the literal and metaphorical senses. Please refrain from absorbing barren, vacant stuff into the sacred temple of your mind and body—including images, stories, sounds and ideas, as well as food and drink.

Sandy City residents are pretty pissed off that their water managers didn’t notify them that the fluoride tank in the main MediaBids_190103_24.indd 1 12/28/2018 5:15:20 pump room added way too much of the N O chemical to city water, turning some tap W US M water yellow—not good! Fluoride, promotA FOLLO R G ed to prevent tooth decay, can also accelINSTA erate water-pipe corrosion. So why are we putting it in our water in the first place? Step back in time to Jan. 25, 1945, when Grand Rapids, Mich., became the first U.S. LY city to fluoridate its drinking water. The WEEK city did its due diligence and decided that @SLC adding fluoride (a toxic chemical in high doses) would protect the tooth enamel of children and adults. Well, right-wing opponents immediately claimed that adding the chemical to the water was a communist plot that would “bring America to its knees by poisoning the water supply.” We were, at that time, deep into a Cold War against the Soviet Union and its allies. Rumors were flying that communists were infiltrating every inch of American life. Anyhow, as the years wore on, the fluoride scare faded away and the Cold War ended. A few years ago, Wired magazine reported that “roughly 170 million Americans drink fluoridated water today, and statistics show that dental health in the U.S. has improved dramatically as a direct result of it.” In the 1970s, Utah public health officials explored adding fluoride to water treatment facilities in Salt Lake County. Park City, Orem and Tooele had it in their water, but only 2.5 percent of the entire state drank the chemical in their daily water intake. A poll by the Public Utilities Division THIS WEEK’S FEATURED found 70 percent of 705 local residents faPARTLOW RENTALS: vored fluoridation.

Wait, What? In Mumbai, India, 27-year-old Raphael Samuel, an apparent follower of antinatalism, is suing his parents (both attorneys) for giving him life. Samuel says he was conceived without his consent, so his parents should pay him for his life. “I love my parents, and we have a great relationship, but they had me for their joy and their pleasure,” Samuel explained to The Print. “My life has been amazing, but I don’t see why I should put another life through the rigmarole of school and finding a career, especially when they didn’t ask to exist ... Other Indian people must know that it is an option not to have children, and to ask your parents for an explanation as to why they gave birth to you.”

Police Blotter When firefighters responded to a house fire Feb. 5 in Altoona, Pa., resident Holly Williams, 37, was happy to tell them how it started. She and Michael Miller, 38, keep their car fuel in a container in the house, and they were arguing about his drinking, and he was trying to take their car, so she flushed the gasoline down the toilet, reported the Altoona Mirror. Miller threw a lit cigarette in the toilet and as flames spread, Williams ran out of the house and called 911. Miller was arrested for arson, risking catastrophe and recklessly endangering another person; later Williams was charged, as well.

Smoke ’Em If You Got ’Em Pavlos Polakis, Greece’s deputy health minister, did not take kindly to a recent reprimand from European Union Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis, who admonished Polakis for smoking in public. Andriukaitis was in Athens Feb. 4 to mark World Cancer Day, reported Reuters. He also complained that the health ministry smelled of cigarette smoke and that nobody wears ties. Polakis replied in a Facebook post about the casual dress: “That’s a lie ... the security guard at the entrance wore one. I don’t. It’s the suits which passed through here who bankrupted our country.” As for the scold about smoking, Polakis retorted: “I’ll decide when to stop smoking, on my terms.” Greece has the highest rate of smoking in the EU. Lost at Sea(l) When researchers at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand thawed out some frozen leopard seal excrement in January, which they use to study the animals’ health, they discovered “deep inside the scat” a USB stick containing vacation photos from Porpoise Bay. Reuters reported the defrosted poo had been placed in the freezer in November 2017, and the USB stick was left to dry for a few weeks before volunteers tried it out. The only clue to its owner is the nose of a blue kayak shown in one of the photos. Should the owner want it back, NIWA has a request: more leopard seal poo, please.

Technology Update And you thought smartphones were cutting edge! Samsung’s Family Hub smart refrigerator offers a new app, Refrigerdating, that works something like Tinder. Instead of uploading a profile pic of yourself, according to United Press International, you lure mates with a photo of the inside of your fridge. “Let the world know what kind of person you are,” the app’s website suggests. “Refrigerdating will then hook you up with a variation of fridges, of different tastes, to pick and choose from.” It even offers a little philosophical advice: “Remember, it’s the unexpected mixes that make the three star restaurants.” Cabin Fever As the polar vortex unleashed its cold fury on the middle of North America in early February, doctors switched from warning people about the cold to warning them about the dangers of flinging boiling water into the air to watch it freeze. The Chicago Sun-Times reported on Feb. 6 that eight people trying the boiling water challenge, ranging in age from 3 to 53, ended up at Loyola Medicine’s Burn Center. “We strongly warn people not to perform the boiling water challenge,” said Loyola burn surgeon Arthur Sanford. “There is no safe way to do it.” Send tips to weirdnewstips@amuniversal.com

People With Issues The Harlem Romantic Depot lingerie store in New York City was the target of a vandal’s political rage on Jan. 26. In surveillance video, the man can be seen pacing up and down in front of the store window, where two mannequins were on display: one of President Barack Obama dressed as a prince, and one of President Donald Trump, dressed as a princess and wearing a MAGA hat. Taking a brick or stone from a nearby construction site, the man used it to smash through the window, store owner Glen Buzzetti told the New York Daily News. Next, he yanked the Obama mannequin out of the window and threw it on the ground. A member of the store’s security team was able to chase the man down the block and catch him, Buzzetti said. But Obama fans in the street weren’t happy with him, either. “We had to protect him from the crowd,” Buzzetti said. “He could have been killed. We had women trying to kick him in the head.” He said the man kept repeating that “he hated Obama” and that “the (Obama) mannequin was looking at him bad.”

Least Competent Criminal Richard J. Betters Jr., 44, of Schenectady, N.Y., has encountered police detectives in nearby Rotterdam before, which explains why he had one officer’s phone number in his contacts list. So on Feb. 6, The Daily Gazette reported, when a detective mistakenly received a text from Betters offering drugs, it was a law enforcement slam dunk. The detective played along with Betters, offering to meet him at the Taco Bell in Rotterdam, where he arrested Betters for criminal possession of a controlled substance (Oxycodone pills). He was held on $20,000 bail.

Awesome! Exterminators were called to the Rogers County (Oklahoma) courthouse on Feb. 4 after an attorney appeared in a third-floor courtroom with bed bugs falling out of his clothing. “Hard to imagine someone doesn’t know ... bed bugs are crawling all over them, certainly in abundance,” remarked Sheriff Scott Walton to KJRH TV. Courthouse officials met and decided to close the building at noon until exterminators could eliminate the pests. “I was told the individual that had them also shook his jacket over the prosecutor’s files,” Walton said. The buggy attorney, however, seemed unfazed by his parasitic companions, and it was not clear who would pay for the extermination.

Police caught up with him later, and the judge set his bond at $13,500. Popeyes is good, but wow.
