Costly “Care”

It was with a great deal of dismay that I read Hits & Misses [April 10, City Weekly]. As a disc golfer, I am well acquainted with the standard stereotypes of my sport; however, to see how recklessly and easily you dismissed the disc-golf community without so much as an ounce of research is of great concern.

I find it humorous that a paper with your liberal reputation had the audacity to print such a belittling opinion of an entire community without a hint of research as to what the modern face of disc golf truly is: bankers, attorneys, Ph.D.s and world-renowned surgeons. There is a representative cross-section of all walks of life. To insinuate that there is not a viable level of professionalism involved in disc golf to help resuscitate tired, defunct golf courses is just plain bigoted and irresponsible.

The plan that has been submitted to the county is timetested as a functioning and profitable business model in many locations across the country, and to see it so casually dismissed is truly a slap in the face.

Even as offended as I am by this particular piece of garbage that you have written and pawned off as professional journalism, I very cordially extend an invitation to you to show you the level of generosity, professionalism and athleticism that is the face of today’s disc golfer.

I was reading “Young Immortal Care” about getting young people to sign up for Obamacare in your Best of Utah issue [March 27, City Weekly]. I can understand why anyone, young or old, would be reluctant to sign up for Obamacare.

I was helping my stepdaughter sign up for Obamacare because she could not afford the health-care options offered at her workplace. The least expensive health-care option was offered by Humana Health Care and was $144 a month for a family plan. It paid for absolutely nothing until she reached the deductible of $12,600. It also did not include dental, so she would have to buy a separate dental plan. The monthly fee does not go toward the deductible, so she would have to go to the doctor 50 times in a year for this plan to start paying for anything.

It is basically catastrophe insurance. She would only have to pay roughly half the cost of a burst appendix, but a broken leg, she would have to pay for herself. For a single mother trying to raise two kids on her own, $144 a month is a lot of money. But if she doesn’t pay it, she gets fined 1 percent of her gross annual income—about $250.

It’s extortion, plain and simple. It’s like going to the store and deciding you don’t want to buy their $1,500 product. Then you find out that the doors are locked and you have to pay $250 to get out.

Governments Have Total Control

I want to comment on two letters: Engred Shlee’s concerns about modifying the climate and Jeffe Olafsson’s Obama World War III diatribe [“Everyone’s Out for Themselves,” March 20; “Obama’s Wars,” March 27, City Weekly].

China openly bragged about steering a storm away from the Beijing Olympics. Putin has let his citizens know he can create any sort of weather conditions he likes. Pilot and meteorologist Ben Livingston is credited with being the first person in the U.S. to use weather as a weapon during Vietnam.

Trained meteorologists can show evidence on radar images that Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, the Haiti earthquake, China quake, Indonesian tsunami and Philippines typhoons were man-made and directed.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention: the flash snowstorm that occurred on March 30 is quite possibly from an ELF weather machine. Especially considering the lightning.

Mainstream media refuses to report on any of this, of course. Your readers can easily learn how to differentiate between natural weather and this garbage.

Newspaper Rap

For the second time in less than a week, my morning newspaper has landed in nearperfect position for me pick it up rather easily. For that, I thank my newspaper person for such deliberate accuracy.

However, on both occasions, when I peeled back the plastic wrap and plopped the newspaper on my kitchen table, I was startled to find that my read for the day would not be The Salt Lake Tribune, to which I subscribe, but the Deseret News.

Hey, I know there have been changes at both papers of late, including a new round of layoffs at The Salt Lake Tribune, but if I wanted the Deseret News, I’d ask for it.

My grandfather used to read the Deseret News religiously, no pun intended. He was a Greek immigrant, a non-Mormon, but subscribed to the Deseret News because it was an afternoon paper and he spent his life catching up on the days’ events at the end of his working day. Afternoon newspapers were useful to early risers like farmers or miners. He lived right behind our home in Bingham Canyon. We took the morning paper. Thus, I grew up reading both newspapers and always felt that both of them were pretty good reads. To be sure, my grandfather diligently taught me to toss away the Church News section of the Deseret News. Not even my grandmother— as purebred Mormon pioneer stock as they come—cared for the Church News section.

Good reads or not, I preferred The Salt Lake Tribune into adulthood, seldom bothering with the Deseret News. Then, in recent years, I began to find an appreciation for the Deseret News—a topic I’ve written about before. I thought it was an easier read, had better graphics, told stories well and had a bank of very talented writers. Having been taught early on to distinguish between the core of the Deseret News and the churchy parts of the

paper, I simply liked what I read, and I often avoided the editorial page. I was never a person who automatically rejected the Deseret News simply because the LDS Church was its owner. After all, I’m a fan of independent ownership.

Then two things changed.

One, I became far more aware of the secretive machinations of how our two dailies have operated since the early 1950s, essentially protected from market forces by what has often been generously termed a legal monopoly—a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) that enables both papers to survive under the supposed notion that a city should not be left with one newspaper.

This was the wisdom of the times, and the JOA was made legal in 1970 under the Newspaper Preser vation Act, essentially a hall pass exempting them from certain anti-trust laws, and thus a license to print money.

One can argue the merits of having one or several newspapers in any given city, or the merits of a JOA operation and the economics of the publishing business, but what is seldom discussed is whether any JOA (nearly 75 percent of them no longer exist—ours is a dinosaur) actually makes for better newspapering in the first place. I believe it hurts a newspaper, and as evidence, I point to the Deseret News on my kitchen table. It’s not much of a major metro newspaper these days, is it?

Woefully, the same can be said of The Salt Lake Tribune, which today is one part newspaper, two parts anemia.

The second thing that changed was how the Deseret News—despite the “protections” of the JOA—has pretty much abandoned this city as a legitimate news journal. It’s become a faith-based publication now— especially online—and is designed to protect and promote but one faith. You want to know how many Mormons have made the

finals of Dancing With the Stars or play in the NFL? The Deseret News is there for you.

That’s well and fine, but why does that style of journalism qualify as needing propping up from the federal government?

That’s especially onerous, since the latest JOA compact seems unfairly stacked in favor of the Deseret News, which now gets 70 percent of the pie as opposed to the 42 percent it had received for decades, as it was the smaller journal, the one supposedly needing protection from failing. (Note to self: Describe another day how daily newspapercirculation audits are a bunch of hooey.)

This is a fair question—why should 70 percent of the proceeds of every dollar I spend on a subscription to The Salt Lake Tribune go the Deseret News? Should restaurants allow 70 percent of their Tribune advertising budget to be handed over to the very minds that proactively hurt their business (with Zion Curtain and other nutty liquor-law advocacy)? The Deseret News has made a tectonic switch from a local daily to a marketing machine. Maybe it always was, and I was blind. But the boys who run the show over there these days don’t even pretend to be anything but a PR juggernaut, and my money shouldn’t be forced to support that.

Hey, here’s a scary thought: Round up some dough or call your rich uncle and tell him we’ll take over the Tribune—and maybe some others, too. Bring a few million bucks and we’ll give Salt Lake City a new kind of newspaper, not the subservient ones— one strapped by religion, one strapped by cash—that the JOA has delivered us. Just bring a wallet; we’ll do the rest. It will be worth it just to watch all the dancing that’s sure to happen. I’m going to KSL.com now to see what’s available ...

If you could change one thing in The Salt Lake Tribune or the Deseret News, what would it be?

@johnsaltas

the latest JOA compact seems unfairly stacked in favor of the Deseret News

Susan Kruithof: Change your mindset.

Print is still king. City Weekly’s pick up rate has never been stronger in the 14 years I’ve been working here. Stop firing, start hiring. Your product is your people. Without them, you have nothing worth reading.

Paula Saltas: I’d like both of them to be more absorbent—neither one sops up a spilled mojito very well.

Eric Peterson: The problem isn’t what to change, it’s how to pay for it. But since we’re just talking about what to change and not how to do it, the answer is simple—more resources for investigative reporting. Shrinking newsrooms mean that beat reporters are stretched too thin just keeping up with press conferences, reports and official meetings. Papers need more special projects so that reporters can dig into a handful of big projects a year instead of being expected to crank out a dozen stories a week. The more watchdog reporting that happens, the more problems that will be uncovered and addressed by society at large before they hemorrhage into problems that seem too intractable to solve.

Kolbie Stonehocker: It would be so cool if an issue of The Salt Lake Tribune had an elaborate secret code embedded in it that led the reader to a buried treasure or a time capsule.

Paydn Augustine: Have them both annexed

by City Weekly, the only true paper in Salt Lake.

Colin Wolf: It would be appropriate if the paper that the Deseret News prints on resembled golden plates and you needed a special decoder stone to read the articles.

HITS&MISSES

by Katharine Biele

FIVE SPOT

random questions, surprising answers

@kathybiele

“Staffers Told Washington Examiner Will Cease Daily Publication,” “This Is the Scariest Statistic About the Newspaper Business Today,” “Tribune Co. hires bankers to sell its newspaper assets,” “Lee Enterprises lays off 10 percent of Provo Daily Herald staff, including top editor,” “Washington Post Lays Off Workers in Hush-Hush Manner.” And the headlines go on. You could say, hey, great, that The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting on its own layoffs—eight in the most recent round. Twelve if you count jobs rescinded and vacancies not filled.

But who cares how transparent you are if you don’t have a plan to survive? “In 2012, newspapers lost $16 in print ads for every $1 earned in digital ads. And it’s getting worse, according to a new report

by Pew. In 2011, the ratio was just 10 to1,” The Atlantic reported. How to make the news relevant beyond paywalls and the allure of digital is the question. Canning staff only digs the hole deeper.

Money Grabbing How can we say this politely?

The Utah Transit Authority is a greed machine. Ridership and public service are secondary to the jingle of cash in the pockets of management and the developers they nurture.

Now we hear, again, that UTA executives are getting nice, fat bonuses—double what they got last year. And this is on the heels of an effort to increase taxes, to buy up more transit-oriented development space, to add lines and, of course, cut back service. How does any of this make any sense? Because UTA is an agency without control. It takes from the public coffers and pads its internal machine. Citizen advocate Claire Geddes has it right: “We must have stupid written all over our faces.”

County Cooperation Well, you can’t say County Mayor Ben McAdams isn’t trying. Against the odds, he’s put out the call for a dozen volunteers to study how to govern the unincorporated area. Twelve angry people, no doubt, because governance of the non-contiguous area has been a quagmire for decades. Incorporation efforts continue as some perceive they’re getting last priority for county services. Others rightly worry about where the revenue will come from and who will be harmed in the tradeoff.

McAdams says he wants to “harness that talent and passion” of residents seeking solutions. This will be an exercise in consensus-making, if consensus is even possible. But McAdams has been willing to take the heat and listen to the buzz.

Layoff Beat

A Westminster grad and a cat owner, Jessica McKelvie is also a process chemist for local cat-litter company Purr-fect Solutions. The litter, launched in late 2013, is made with a fly ash, a waste product of coal combustion that’s similar in feel to traditional clay litter; seaweed and other materials are added to make the litter clump and control odor. Purr-fect Harmony litter (Purr-fectHarmony.com) is now in 33 locations in six states.

How does your product stack up against other cat litters?

We noticed when we started researching fly ash that it had a similar makeup to clay, which is usually used at cat litter. Clay is the gold standard for cat litter—it absorbs, it clumps, it controls odor. But one major bad thing about clay litter is it’s strip-mined—2 million tons of clay is strip-mined in the U.S. each year just for use as pet litter. And every ton of clay that you remove from the earth, it takes 4 tons of overburden out before you can recover the clay. Although great for your home, it’s not so friendly for the environment— which is why there’s all those natural pet litters out there now. What we want to do is be in the middle. You’ve got your clay, which works well but is crappy for the earth, and you’ve got your naturals, which are great for the earth but are terrible with performance—they kick everywhere, they don’t smell as good, they don’t control ammonia. But people are willing to sacrifice that performance to get that green option. We hope to offer cat litter that’s environmentally friendly—made with 85 percent recycled material—but since its makeup is like clay, it performs more like clay.

How can it be good for the environment if it’s from coal?

It was a material already intended for the landfill that we’re diverting for another purpose before it gets there. Coal power is going to be around for a while—it’s just inevitable.

In the U.S., we have a lot of standards for collecting coal ash. Unfortunately, most of it’s landfilled. About 40 percent of it is reused as cement in concrete, or in other products— carpet backing, they’ve tried toothpaste. A lot of the building they’re doing in China, they’re actually shipping fly ash from the U.S. to China to help with the building, as a replacement for cement.

We are really particular about the sourcing of our product for that reason—we want it to be a really good product that’s going to be the safest for the cats on the receiving end.

We get it from one source, and we monitor it every single time.

When did you decide to become a chemist?

Probably high school or before. I was always encouraged to pursue that—my father is an engineer, so I never had that whole, “you’re a female in math and science?!” I never experienced that. I was always testing things and mixing things as I grew up. And through my time at Westminster, it was obvious that I needed to do chemistry and research. And then you come to find out that that’s not the typical experience—many women don’t experience that encouragement to go into math and science and engineering. So I have to do a kind of check on myself, and think, “Well, how can I pass that encouragement down to the next generation?”

STRAIGHT DOPE Tax Wars

BY CECIL ADAMS

I need a good answer for a question from a politically conservative friend. When I pointed out that federal tax rates were higher in 1955 for everyone from the poor to the super rich than they were in 2010, his response was: “Are these taxes spent more wisely today than they were in say, 1955? Or rather, is our federal government spending tax money more or less efficiently now than then?”

—Thomas Holton Right, like there’s some accepted standard of what constitutes wise or efficient spending. I guarantee you some people think putting one dime into the EPA, the Department of Education or, for that matter, the U.S. Marine Band, is a foolish waste of funds. Better we just look at how the federal spending breakdown has shifted over the years. You and your friend will still argue fruitlessly about whether that’s good or bad, but at least you’ll start with the facts.

First let’s confirm your premise: federal income tax rates were way higher in 1955 than today. The top rate that year was 91 percent on income over $400,000 for married couples filing jointly, which even so was lower than the all-time peak rate, during World War II—94 percent on income over $200,000.

True, in 1955, few Americans had an annual income of $400,000, or even $200,000. To adjust for inflation, we turn to my assistant Una, spreadsheet ninja. She computes that in 1955, American families earning the equivalent of $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $250,000 and $1,000,000 in 2012 dollars had effective tax rates (neglecting deductions or exemptions) of, respectively, 20, 21, 23, 31 and 57 percent of their total income.

The highest marginal rate remained at 91 percent until 1964. Let that marinate for a moment. During the entirety of what conservatives typically regard as the good old days, the high-end tax rate was close to the highest in U.S. history.

After spending nearly two decades at 70 percent, the top rate fell significantly during the Reagan years, bottoming out in 1988 at 28 percent. Today, notwithstanding the machinations of the tax-and-spend element, it remains just 39.6 percent.

Now to your question. Having scoured the databases, we learn as follows: n In 1900, the federal government was pretty much the definition of lean and mean. More than 30 percent of the budget went to defense, with an additional 22 percent to veterans’ benefits. The U.S. Post Office, as it was then known, ate up another 17 percent, and 6 percent went for interest on the national debt. That left just 24 percent, allowing for rounding errors, for all other government activities. n By 1920, defense had ballooned to nearly 70 percent of the budget and interest to 15 percent. OK, World War I had just ended. Still, when 85 percent of the government’s money goes to the military plus debt, you have to think: the priorities here are seriously askew.

n By 1955, defense was still nearly 55 percent of the government’s budget, with pensions plus social security in second place at 7 percent. Health care, education, welfare and transportation all together accounted for less than 8 percent of all government spending. n In 1980, after Vietnam but before the Reagan military buildup, the budget was more balanced. Defense was still the largest share of expenses, at 28 percent, followed by pensions and Social Security at 23 percent and one of the highest percentages of funding ever for the Department of Education, at 6 percent. Health care rose to 9 percent, reflecting a trend of steady increase that started in the 1950s and hasn’t ended. n In 2010, health care passed outlays for pensions and Social Security, with the two together accounting for 47 percent of the budget. Defense still takes a quarter, and welfare a seventh. The postal service, which took 26 percent of the budget in 1910, is pretty much a nonentity. Education takes up about the same percentage of the budget as it did in the 1940s. Interest on the debt, thanks to low rates, is only 6 percent, compared to nearly 15 percent in 1990. But 1990 wasn’t the worst it’s been; on a decade basis, debt interest was a greater percentage of the Federal budget in 1920 and 1930.

What can we say about the wisdom of government spending through time? For most of a century we sank most federal treasure into defense, sometimes to the exclusion of virtually all else. Only in relatively recent times have we invested in programs to help people.

Your friend may say: National defense is worth it, whereas coddling the sickly is a waste. Anecdotal insight into this issue comes to us from the annual Wastebook, published by U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.

Reading through Coburn’s 100 examples of squandered federal cash, we notice the money supposedly wasted on social and cultural programs is for relatively small amounts—for example, $1 million for the Popular Romance Project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The biggest boondoggles, such as the scrapping of $7 billion in leftover military equipment in Afghanistan, were for defense.

NEWS Saying farewell to the ghosts and grandeur of the Frank E. Moss courthouse.

COLBY FRAZIER

Court Adjourned

CITY

“The building just had a sense of fairness about it. When you headed down, you just knew that there would be an overall fairness and a sense of equality.” —Jim Jardine, local attorney and former court clerk

By Colby Frazier cfrazier@cityweekly.net @colbyfrazierlp A pair of bullet holes—remnants of a 1927 shooting—can still be seen behind a judge’s bench in the Frank E. Moss Courthouse.

In another courtroom, the ghost of Judge Willis William Ritter—a lion of a man who was both revered for his smarts and ridiculed for his fickle temperament—is believed to still stalk the second floor, flipping on lights and whispering in ears.

Since 1905, the stout granite courthouse anchoring the corner of Main and 400 South has been the epicenter of the federal government’s presence in Zion.

But this proud 109-year history came to an end April 4, when judges, secretaries, librarians, clerks and federal marshals packed up their offices and moved a few hundred feet away into the new federal courthouse at the corner of West Temple and 400 South.

A flashy hulk of glass and metal, the new 11-story courthouse (yet to be named) casts a mighty shadow over its historic predecessor.

The new building acts as a giant solar panel, gobbling up natural sunlight to cut down on energy costs. The lobby, occupied by sport-coat-wearing federal marshals and metal detectors, stretches three stories up and has as a centerpiece a circular staircase wrapped in glass. White oak floors and walls lead to a bank of elevators, where the bottom of an 11-story art exhibit hangs inside a narrow atrium.

The cherry wood courtrooms still smell new. And they’re full of screens: a TV screen in the corner, screens for jurors, screens for attorneys and screens for judges.

The new courthouse is much safer; judges will no longer share elevators with prisoners. And it’s wired like a Silicon Valley tech firm.

Although the new building is lavishly strewn with bells and whistles, the day-to-day business handled there isn’t likely to waver a bit from the century of justice handed down in the older building. And while the new courthouse will be the home to the Federal District

The new federal courthouse, left, is now open, but locals say the history of the Frank E. Moss courthouse, left, can’t be matched.

Court of Utah long into the future, it remains to be seen if it will ever gain, through its cast of judges and the justice they hand down, the holy mystique attained by the Frank E. Moss Courthouse.

“The building was never foreboding,” says local attorney Jim Jardine, who first became familiar with the old courthouse as a clerk in 1974 for the late Judge Aldon Anderson. “The building just had a sense of fairness about it.

When you headed down, you just knew that there would be an overall fairness and a sense of equality.”

The courthouse didn’t earn this reputation on its own. By his estimation, Jardine says, Utah’s judges have consistently been among the finest in the nation. And whenever he fields calls from lawyers around the country asking for insight about what to expect from the Beehive State’s judiciary, he tells them “they can have the highest confidence in the administration of justice for all.”

“When I first started attending, it felt like an old historic building, but one that had a grace and a secular sanctity,” Jardine says. “In a way, it’s been the quality of the judges that have given a halo effect to the building.”

No conversation about the old courthouse goes far before the name of Judge Ritter comes up. At once, Ritter’s tenure, which stretched from 1949 until his death in 1978, can be described as revered, scandalous and even disgraceful.

Ritter’s antics on the bench, including ordering federal marshals to arrest postal workers—who occupied a wing in the building—for making noise, and his love of the underdog and purported disdain for the LDS Church led to an effort by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in

the 1970s to have the judge barred from trying federal cases.

Somehow, these critiques—even from one of his harshest critics, former U.S. Attorney Ramon M. Child, who filed the petition that sought to forbid Ritter from trying some cases—didn’t take hold.

As an assistant U.S. Attorney, local attorney Max Wheeler got to know Ritter well. At one time, Wheeler says, he was the only federal attorney Ritter allowed to argue cases in his courtroom.

And it was in Ritter’s courtroom one afternoon that Child, who was on the last leg of his short term as U.S. Attorney, came in and took a seat.

Wheeler says Ritter stopped the trial and said: “Ladies and gentleman, I want you to meet Ramon Child, our lame-duck U.S. Attorney.”

Wheeler says Ritter considered the Frank E. Moss Courthouse an extension of his personal property, and “he treated it like it was.” Ritter lived across 400 South in the Newhouse Hotel, and he would amble between home and work on foot each day.

Wheeler recalls a day when a construction worker was running a jackhammer on 400 South. The noise was disrupting court, and Ritter was fed up. The judge had a marshal arrest the worker and, Wheeler says, from that day forward, construction near the courthouse occurred at night.

“It was interesting times,” Wheeler says. “I’m going to miss being in that old courthouse. It has a real history to it.”

Another Ritter story involved former Deseret News court reporter Joe Bauman. Wheeler remembers that Bauman wrote a story Ritter wasn’t pleased with. The next day in court, Ritter called the reporter out.

When Bauman stood, Ritter asked him to take a seat behind the bench so the judge could keep an eye on him.

Bauman remembers being in Ritter’s courtroom on so-called “rule days,” when Ritter, after long stretches of inactivity, would call dozens and dozens of cases all at once. The courtroom would be packed with attorneys and witnesses. And if someone wasn’t ready to make their case, Ritter was known to flat-out dismiss it.

It was one of these days when Bauman had to go sit behind the velvet rope that separated the judge from the gallery. “Aren’t you that Deseret News boy whose been writing all those articles about me?” Bauman remembers Ritter asking.

Mark Jones, the clerk of the court, says Ritter was also known to approve or disprove the appointment of federal probation officers over a bottle of bourbon. “He poured himself one and one for the candidate and he said, ‘You got the job if you drink this up for me.’ ” Bankruptcy court will still be held at the old courthouse, but the rest of the space will house as many as 500 federal employees from various departments.

With business just getting underway at the new courthouse, some longtime court employees are already feeling pangs of loss.

And, love it or hate it, the new courthouse, which Wheeler called “ugly,” has a steep hill to climb before it gets its own halo.

“There’s a familiar affection to it,” Jardine says of the old building.

“There is a grandeur in old buildings that is difficult, if not impossible, to capture—to retain in a new building.” CW

As Russell Ridge walked the length of a vacant lot in North Salt Lake, trying to get a feel for how the excavation company he worked for might be able to use the property, he spotted something out of the ordinary— the rusted top of what looked like an oil drum poking out of the ground. Common sense told Ridge that potentially hazardous chemicals aren’t supposed to just be buried under the ground, so he called the Utah Department of Environmental Quality on Nov. 4, 2013, and even supplied pictures of the drum as proof.

What happened next, Ridge says, was a whole lot of nothing.

The incident was logged by the DEQ’s Division of Environmental Response & Remediation, who contacted the Salt Lake Valley Health Department and the DEQ’s Division of Solid & Hazardous Waste.

Ridge says he followed up with DEQ, but found that no agencies involved had taken any action. In response to his claim, no staff members from DEQ or the Salt Lake Valley Health Department went out to investigate the site, relying instead on his pictures to determine the oil drum didn’t constitute a problem.

“I’m not a big fan of government as a whole,” Ridge says. “But what regulations do exist should exist to protect the people.

When they refuse to hop up from their cubicle and drive for 15 minutes to rule something out—I’ve got an issue with that.”

Ridge says he doesn’t know the extent of the problem with the drum and says that while it could be as benign as an empty piece of metal buried underground, it could also be just the tip of a toxic iceberg, especially since the lot—on Victory Road right before the street connects with Beck Street—is bordered by some suspect properties.

Less than 50 feet from the drum’s location is the site of an old superfund cleanup site; a neighboring lot to the north is owned by the Sinclair Oil Corporation; and the property itself—which was for sale in late 2013—is owned by Grand America Hotels &

The partially buried oil drum that Russell Ridge found in North Salt Lake in 2013.

Resorts, which also owns Sinclair Oil. Ridge says that while the drum could have been nothing, it also appeared to have been exposed to the air accidentally, meaning it was definitely buried and not just trash left on the ground.

The official Environmental Incident Report of the drum notes “No Action Needed—In a discussion with Salt Lake County HD it was determined that the drum was too compromised to contain materials of concern.”

Jon Parry with the Division of Solid & Hazardous Waste recalls that after discussing the pictures with the Salt Lake Valley Health Department, it was deemed unnecessary to inspect the site in person.

“Usually, Salt Lake County is pretty proactive about following up on stuff that appears to be a problem,” and based on the photos, it didn’t appear to be a problem, Parry says.

The drum was eventually cleaned up. After City Weekly made inquiries about the drum, the health department’s Community Clean Up team—which usually cleans up refuse left behind from transient camps—visited the site and picked up the drum debris. Salt Lake Valley Health Department spokesman Nicholas Rupp says that when the clean-up team removed the barrel, they didn’t notice any signs that the area had been affected by the drum or anything else under the ground.

“In this case, there was grass growing out of the barrel, so it didn’t appear to have any environmental effects,” Rupp says.

His agency is tasked with responding to numerous spills and other complaints, generally involving spills that happen at industrial worksites. In 2013 alone, for example, the health department’s 10 environmental health scientists responded to 1,564 solid waste complaints, as well as 233 emergency spills.

Still, Ridge is concerned that if someone purchases that property it may fall to them to begin cleaning the site or go through the costly process of investigating who contaminated the area if the problem is bigger than what’s simply poking out of the ground. He also bristles at the fact that the county would come down a lot harder on businesses and even citizens in situations where the culprit is obvious.

“If you dumped even half a quart of oil in a storm-drain system and someone saw you, you could be fined,” Ridge says.

“There’s pretty stiff penalties.” CW

Faced with declining memberships, Baptist churches in Kentucky hired Chuck McAlister, the former host of an outdoor TV show, to recruit new members by raffling off guns. “If simply offering them an opportunity to win a gun allows them to come into the doors of the church and to hear that the church has a message that’s relevant to their lives, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that,” he said. Tom Jackson, one of 1,300 people at a church dinner in Paducah raffling off 25 guns, said he wanted to win a gun because although he believes in turning the other cheek, if “somebody kicks your door down, means to hurt your wife, your kids, you—how do you turn the other cheek to that?” (NPR)

A Pretty, Dry State Utahns are nearly the biggest water consumers in the country. What does that mean for the future?

By Colby Frazier cfrazier@cityweekly.net

A

fter an unusually dry winter across the West, we’re dedicating this year’s Green Guide to water—you know, that stuff that, most years, falls from the sky, piles up by the dozens of feet in the Wasatch Mountains and gushes into our toilet bowls and sink faucets as if there were no end to its abundance.

But there is an end. If developers and politicians and the market economy have their way—and there is little reason to believe they won’t—a day will come when the population will have grown to the point that the Beehive State will simply not have enough water to meet demand.

Rather than focus on using less water (Utahns are widely regarded as among the most wasteful water users in the nation), Utah officials are busy trying to figure out how people can continue using lots of water long into the future.

In order to sustain Utah’s green landscapes and growing suburbs, state leaders intend to spend $2 billion on massive pipeline projects. One will dip a straw into Lake Powell to sprout more homes in the desert of St. George, while the other will siphon water from the Bear River.

These projects, combined with modest conservation efforts and the repurposing of agricultural water for culinary use, will get Utah through the year 2060, when the state’s population is expected to have doubled to 6 million souls.

The following stories speak to Utah’s water future, and whether the state’s efforts to step into this future are well advised. Some say they’re not.

Every single person interviewed for these water stories, though, agreed on a seminal fact: Utahns could be saving much more water than they are.

With that in mind, raise a glass of water and toast Utah’s great and abundant water. Gulp it down, and as your throat thaws from the water’s chill, take a moment to reflect on how you personally use, and perhaps even waste, water.

Then do something about it. Because when it comes to how you consume water, your choices are all that matter.

“It goes back to people can have their landscapes the way they want,” says Eric Millis, director of the Division of Water Resources, the state agency charged with ensuring Utah has enough water now and in years to come. “We’ve had this legacy, maybe you’d call it, of having green landscapes.”

When it comes to conservation, Millis says, the state is doing enough.

Whether they even noticed, Utahns have already gone a long way toward meeting the state’s conservation goals. Millis says water consumption has dropped by 18 percent since 2000, leaving him confident that the remaining 7 percent will be reached easily, and perhaps even ahead of schedule.

But once the state reaches its goal, which would cut the per gallon usage to 221 gallons per person, there is no statewide conservation plan.

“They don’t disagree with that,” says Zach Frankel, executive director of the Utah Rivers Council.

managers don’t want Utahns to conserve because they want to build their way into the future. And the comedy of it, Frankel says, is that Millis and his colleagues across the state have been effective at convincing Utahns that the state is gripped by a water crisis to get more projects built, while simultaneously declining to save more.

“This claim that we’re running out of water is a farce,” says Frankel. “But if you’re trying to make the public receptive to spending its tax money on destructive water projects, making them afraid of the future is the way to do it, and that’s what the Division of Water Resources has been doing for 20 plus years.”

Sprawling out across the second-driest state in America, Utahns are the second-most prolific consumers of water in the nation.

Utah’s baseline rate of water consumption per person, per day, is 295 gallons.

Critics of Utah’s sky-high water use believe one of the key elements to promoting waste rather than conservation is the dollar value the state puts on its most valuable resource.

A DWR study shows that 1,000 gallons of water in Utah costs $1.34—43 percent below the national average and 45 percent under the average for other Western states.

The reasons for these low costs, the study shows, is the abundance of water in the state’s mountains and streams that wets the majority of Utah lips. This water comes courtesy of the hundreds of inches of annual snowfall in the mountains, which is stored, protected and naturally filtered as it trickles downstream to water treatment plants. Since much of this supply is gravity-fed, costs of transporting the water is low. And because these mountain sources are clean, the cost of

treatment is also low.

No one says that Utah’s water delivery system is anything less than wonderful. But for Frankel, this fast and easy water should be valued and conserved, not frivolously wasted.

“We give lots of lip service to the idea that water is valuable,” he says. “But we don’t price it like it’s valuable. We price it like we don’t care about it. Water is given less value than dirt. And I don’t mean to disparage dirt. But water needs to be valued appropriately so people don’t waste it.”

In the name of conservation, other states have instituted far more rigorous pricing structures. Some Utah communities have tiered pricing, where users pay more if they use more. But these prices generally lag behind other Western cities.

For example, Frankel points out, during July—peak water season—the average home in Seattle uses 4,000 gallons of water. In St. George, average per-home use is around 28,000 gallons in July, and residents pay just over a buck per thousand gallons, compared to the nearly $6 paid in Seattle.

Of course, Seattle is much wetter than Utah. This means lawns and landscaping requires less watering to stay green.

And here lies a conflict: Utah officials say the aridity of the state justifies high outdoor water use. Some would say, however, that this is backward—because Utah is dry, it should use water more wisely.

But Utah’s water isn’t as cheap as it seems. Water rates in much of the state are subsidized by property taxes. Studies

A DWR study shows that 1,000 gallons of water in Utah costs $1.34—43 percent below the national average and 45 percent under the average for other Western states.

conducted by DWR show that only 8 percent of the nation’s water suppliers rope in revenue through property taxes, but most water providers in Utah utilize taxation.

Water managers defend this practice, saying the predictable revenue streams give their organizations stability and help them borrow money at lower interest rates.

Property tax “gives you a more secure source of money,” says Ron Thompson, general manager of the Washington County Water Conservancy District. Thompson has lobbied hard for the Lake Powell Pipeline, a $1 billion project that has been blessed in Utah with a legislative decree and is nearing the completion of a $25 million environmental impact study.

Thompson doubts that raising water prices in his district would stanch water use. As an example, he says, when he was a boy, gas cost under 20 cents a gallon. “I don’t think the fact that I pay $4 now means I drive any less,” he says. “I don’t drive any less.”

Frankel, though, says shedding the property tax would allow water consumers to see a truer picture of water costs. And with modest rises in prices, Utah, like its neighbors across the West, would waste less water.

“It’s nuts, it’s perverse,” Frankel says of the property tax, noting that in fiscally conservative Utah, a tax of this nature flies in the face of letting the market

economy determine the price of the commodity.

“It’s why we have the cheapest water rates; it’s why we have the highest per-capita water use.”

Utah water managers will continue protecting these low costs, even if hiking them could save water. The DWR report on Utah’s inexpensive water notes that bank-busting water projects will raise water costs in Utah, but due to the state’s “unique climate, geography and other factors … average water bills are likely to remain below those of other areas of the West and the nation.”

There Is Water All Around As more and more farmland is gobbled up by housing tracts, less water is needed for agriculture use. Currently, around 85 percent of Utah’s water goes to agriculture.

With ever more houses sprouting along the heavily populated Wasatch Front, farmland has disappeared. What hasn’t disappeared, though, are many of the canals and the water that fills them. During summer months, many of these canals sit stagnant, filled with water that never makes it into Utah taps.

DWR studies have shown sharp decreases in the need for agricultural water diversions in the Jordan and Weber River basins. For example, in the Weber River Basin, 308,800

A depleted Lake Powell, highlighted with watermark rings from abundant water years acre feet of water was diverted to irrigate cropland in 2007. The study shows only 161,200 acre-feet will be needed in 2060, leaving a 147,600 acre-feet surplus—enough water to supply more than 600,000 new residents.

For the Salt Lake Valley, the amount of water diverted for agricultural use is around 143,000 acre-feet. The state’s 2010 water plan for the Jordan River notes that by 2030, and perhaps much sooner, agricultural needs in the Salt Lake Valley will be “nonexistent.”

Millis says the canal water is not being wasted, and that by 2060, utilizing this water for residential and industrial use will account for 15 percent of the state’s needs.

“I think that conversion process is happening,” he says. “It’s certainly something that we’ve encouraged to meet the needs.”

Frankel, though, says the staggering amount of water in the Weber and Salt Lake Valleys alone—combined with ambitious conservation—could fully provide for Utah’s needs long into the future. The basis for this argument is that acre for acre, homes, streets and sidewalks use far less water than fields of crops.

“These canals are everywhere,” Frankel says. “This is clearly not a good use of water.

They’re ignoring this water source.”

But fully utilizing this water, Frankel says, could eliminate billions in water projects, and when no one’s looking over a water manager’s shoulder, he says, “they’ll choose the $2 billion every time.”

Deaf Ears No Longer Frankel doesn’t hold back when he talks about Utah’s water picture. Plain and simple,

he says, Utahns are “the most wasteful water users in the United States.” And in order to get big projects built, the DWR has been “cooking the books to manufacture a water crisis.”

His assertions have gained an audience.

In November 2013, a four-person committee of high-ranking legislators met to receive a briefing from the state’s Office of the Legislative Auditor General. An item of business was to ask for new audits, one of which set its targets on the DWR. Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, referenced the possible surplus of water that’s building as agricultural use is consumed by development.

Far from a water crisis that would warrant billions in spending, Niederhauser said, “it seems that they’re building treasure chests of water that they may not need for the future.”

James Behunin, the legislative audit supervisor, confirmed that an audit on the DWR is in progress.

“There’s some really interesting issues with water in Utah,” he says, noting that a full audit of the agency hasn’t been done in decades.

“We’re going to look at how we handle our planning and regulation and just see whether our state agencies are proceeding in the most efficient, effective manner possible and in the best interest of the citizens of Utah.”

The Billion-Dollar Straw In addition to being costly, the Lake Powell and Bear River pipelines will have impacts on the environment.

The taxed Colorado River, which supplies water to around 40 million people, has withered under years of drought. This has left

Lake Powell less than 40 percent full, although it will likely rise slightly this year due to healthy snowpack in the Rocky Mountains.

Utah’s insistence on building the Lake Powell pipeline is rooted in the fact that it does not currently utilize its full allotment of the Colorado, as specified in the Colorado River Compact of 1922.

Watching water-needy areas like Southern California and Las Vegas get this water has chapped many a Utah politician.

Washington County’s Thompson spells it out. The pipeline, he says, “allows us to keep the water we’re entitled to. It runs downhill unless we use it.”

And now, whether Utahns truly need it or not, a portion of the state’s allotment is scheduled be siphoned out of Lake Powell, with most of it arriving in Washington County.

To fuel continued growth in St. George— which, Thompson says, has returned to the pre-Great Recession rate of selling and building homes to the tune of 400 a month— Washington County will need that water to fill the bellies and water the lawns of the projected 600,000 people who are expected to live there by 2060—a 416 percent jump from today’s 144,000 residents.

The alternative, Thompson says, is that Washington County doesn’t grow to that extent. And the area’s reliance on the fickle Virgin River watershed, where most of its water comes from, won’t accommodate massive growth. This year, Virgin River snowpack is less than 40 percent of normal, making Thompson certain he and his colleagues will be unleashing strict water conservation methods in the months to come.

Lake Powell would alleviate these concerns.

“Without Lake Powell, there’s not a big future here,” he says.

Mike Noel, a stalwart Republican member of the state’s House of Representatives from Kanab, is also the general manager of the Kane County Water Conservancy District.

Noel’s district would receive a share of the water in the pipeline, which he fervently supports.

But Noel, who is known for his sharp critiques of environmentalists when he’s on Capitol Hill, has implemented a number of water-conservation efforts in his area, including more aggressive meter-reading and a tiered rate structure.

Still, he believes the pipeline is necessary, and that if it were the will of the people to conserve, they would elect people who oppose the pipeline and resolve to change the way they consume water.

“There’s no question about it that there’s an ability to conserve more,” he says. “What it’s going to require is that people recognize ... that it’s going to be a different community if you have more conservation.”

While the DWR’s Millis estimates the Lake Powell pipeline could be built by 2025, the Bear River pipeline, which aims to redirect a portion of the river’s flow into a pipe to supply the Wasatch Front, won’t be needed for at least a decade later.

Diverting the Bear River, Frankel says, would devastate tens of thousands of acres of wetlands in the Great Salt Lake, jeopardizing the largest wetland between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean.

Fueling population growth and maintaining landscaping might rank high on the list of importance for many Utahns. But Frankel wonders at what point Utah will realize it cannot afford to pillage every water source it has and sacrifice it on the altar of growth.

That Utah is home to the Great Salt Lake and the Colorado River, Frankel says, makes the Beehive State a natural wonderland. And Utahns have been charged with ensuring these water sources survive long into the future.

“It’s time that Utah catch up to the rest of the pack and embrace an ethic of stewardship of nature instead of annihilation,” he says. CW

Depending on where you live, your tap gushes with either mountain spring water or heavily treated water from tainted aquifers.

Salt Lake City

O

ne of the most important jobs in Salt Lake City is held by a fish. Just inside the doors of the Big Cottonwood Water Treatment Facility, a solitary Bonneville Cutthroat Trout—nickname Bonneville—whips back and forth through frigid snow melt.

The fish tank isn’t heated, and there is no coral or tropical seaweed. And the water pumped in is raw, straight from Big Cottonwood Creek. As this water enters the plant to be treated, a portion flows into Bonneville’s tank.

The trout is the treatment plant’s first line of defense to ensure that hundreds of thousands of Salt Lakers have safe drinking water. If the fish suddenly ceases its endless trip around the tank, plant operators will know something is terribly wrong with the water entering the plant.

“If it goes belly up, something’s wrong and we stop it right away,” says plant manager Bill Meyer.

All three of Salt Lake City’s water treatment plants—City Creek, Parley’s Canyon and Big Cottonwood—have a fish.

And fortunately for the 340,000 people who rely on this water, and for the trout, sudden death has never occured.

The water that flows down these creeks and makes it into the water supply is wildly clean, and because Salt Lake City is the first to use this water, it doesn’t require the same level of heavy-duty treatment as other water supplies across the West.

All water supplies, including Salt Lake City’s, are chlorinated to kill bacteria.

This is one of the first things that happens when water enters the plant. In order for chlorine to do its job, it must be present for a prescribed amount of time. And, Meyer says, since water can move through the treatment plant in roughly four hours, and the first water customer is around the bend on Wasatch Boulevard, chlorine must be introduced at the beginning of the process.

The second step in the water-treatment process involves coagulation. A mix of positively charged material is introduced into the water to attract negatively charged particles, like dirt and other solids.

Once this is done, the water enters four swimming-pool-size coagulation basins, where giant paddles whip the water, allowing the particles to attract.

The water then flows into a second set of pools, where it is stirred more gently, allowing the particles to begin settling.

Next, the water makes its way slowly—it takes four hours at high flow and up to 20 hours when the creek is flowing slowly—to make the journey through a sedimentation basin toward the filter beds.

Big Cottonwood’s basin is the length of a football field. Above ground, it’s nothing more than a massive pad of concrete separating two buildings.

Meyer says the water slowly flows along this channel, allowing the majority of

A Tale of Two Water Sources

The Big Cottonwood Water Treatment Facility is much the same as it was in the 1950s, and the water treated there also remains timelessly clean. the solids to settle out of the water before entering the filtration room.

The filter boxes, which Meyer says last up to 12 years, consist of a foot of gravel, 20 inches of sand and another 20 inches of angularshaped coal, which does a great job of refining the water Salt Lakers drink.

The process, Meyer says, is relatively simple—a credit to vigorous watershed protections that ensure the water entering the plant is as clean as possible.

Aside from the watershed protections—like limiting construction and septic tanks in the canyon, and preventing domestic pets and humans from frolicking in the creek—another important factor distinguishes this water supply: Salt Lakers

are the first users of the water. This means Meyer doesn’t have to worry about catching wastewater deposited upstream by another municipality—as is the case in most any heavily used river system in the world.

“We are very fortunate to be the very first users of this water,” Meyer says, noting that in the Colorado River, cities take some water out, use it, then put it back in. A little way down the line, someone else takes the water. This process is repeated over and over again.

Not much has changed with the Big Cottonwood plant since it was constructed in the late 1950s. Laura Briefer, the city’s waterresources manager, says this is a testament to the continued quality of water flowing through the Wasatch Front’s canyons.

T

he Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, a wholesaler that supplies water to nearly every community in the Salt Lake Valley except Salt Lake City and parts of Sandy, draws a portion of its water from underground wells. Some of its wells were long ago polluted by Kennecott’s mining operations. And with more polluted water comes more intensive treatment techniques.

Efforts to clean up this polluted aquifer have been in the works since 1986, when the state sued Kennecott for damaging the aquifer. A history book could be written on this water saga, which involves a botched deal that would have let Kennecott off the hook if it paid $12 million, and a trip all the way to the Utah Supreme Court.

Doug Bacon, an environmental scientist with the state’s Division of Environmental Response & Remediation, who has overseen Kennecott’s response to this cleanup, says pollution began seeping into the aquifer in the 1960s.

The most polluted portion of the aquifer is near Copperton, where Kennecott operates its treatment plant.

Bacon says this area was

polluted by Bingham Reservoir, which was used to provide water for mining operations.

The water was highly acidic and contained high concentrations of sulfate and other salts and metals related to the mining process.

The reservoir wasn’t sealed and, Bacon says, regulators determined that 1 million gallons had leaked out of the reservoir each day for years, slowly traveling east into the aquifer. Bacon says the reservoir remains, but is triple-sealed to prevent leaks.

A less-polluted section of the aquifer, located roughly between 2700 West and 1300 West, was fouled by 21 evaporation ponds that were used between 1937 and 1965 to catch storm water near the mine. This water, too, seeped out of these reservoirs and tainted the aquifer.

Yet another ground-water fouling technique involved Kennecott’s method of stretching the value of their waste rock by dousing it with acidic water, thereby exposing more copper. Bacon says this didn’t always work out well, with some of the acidic, copper-tainted water moving into the aquifer.

In the end, Kennecott and the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District decided to build a pair of reverse-osmosis treatment plants to clean the dirty water. Kennecott has been operating that treatment plant for a few years, but the water district has encountered hurdles. The main issue, Bacon says, was cleared up only this year.

When water is filtered using reverse osmosis, clean water goes out one end and waste goes out the other. Residents of South Jordan, West Jordan and Herriman drink some of the treated water. The waste, Bacon says, contains high concentrations of

“The big takeaway, though, is that we haven’t had to change our treatment plant process to a more sophisticated and more costly system because our watershed protection has been robust,” she says. “And so the source water coming into the plant is of such high quality that really, we’re just treating to meet the EPA regulations for the treatment process itself.”

the pollutants—salts and metals—that also must find a home.

The water district proposed a plan that involved building a 21-mile pipeline to Gilbert Bay on the south end of the Great Salt Lake, where the waste product would flow into the saline waters there.

But when the plan was first unveiled several years ago, regulators and environmental groups worried that high doses of selenium— one of the pollutants being filtered out of the water—could harm the millions of birds that call the Great Salt Lake Home.

According to the EPA, in high doses, selenium in drinking water can cause humans to lose their fingernails and hair and can negatively impact circulation. In birds, Bacon says, it causes deformities in babies, and can even prevent reproduction altogether.

The water district’s plan—now based on a $2 million study that aims to protect the lake’s bird populations—was given the green light by the state’s division of water quality earlier this year. Over the past year, the water district has operated its reverse osmosis plant, disposing its waste in Kennecott’s tailings impoundment. But Bacon says he anticipates the pipeline will soon be extended into the lake.

All told, the two reverse-osmosis treatment centers will filter 8,235 acre-feet of water per year. Bacon says an acre-foot of water— 326,700 gallons—is enough to supply a household of four for an entire year.

Making this polluted water fit for drinking will cost Kennecott as much as $80 million, an environmental assessment document of the project shows. And the water district, through the issuance of bonds, is expected to foot $20 million of the bill.

Whether public safety or saving money is the goal, there is much value in protecting water resources.

“What you can do to protect the aquifer— to protect that source in the future—is advisablze in any situation,” Bacon says. CW

Kristin Ann King: Misfits From the Beehive State Utah expatriate Kristin Ann King may now live in Seattle, but her fascinating short-story collection Misfits from the Beehive State shows that she still has a firm finger on the peculiar qualities of the people here in Utah. The 10 stories offer snapshots of people facing the expectations and disappointments of their lives, and watching as they manifest themselves in bizarre—even supernatural—ways.

While the stories are all based in or around Utah, King digs into characters who come from a variety of different backgrounds, yet are all affected somehow by a culture that places importance on maintaining an outward appearance of perfection. In “Grandmother Henrietta’s Curse,” a young woman believes that her Lutheran grandmother is taking vengeance from beyond the grave for an LDS proxy baptism she vehemently opposed. “Swallow the Clock” finds a married woman facing a heartbreaking choice while a strange man appears everywhere she goes. And in the magnificently chilling opener “The Wings,” a housewife’s mysterious yearnings manifest themselves in visions of an angel outside her bedroom window.

King gives these fantastical elements a matter-of-fact quality that turns them less into horror stories than surreal visions of a Utah where communication with the unseen and not-of-thisworld is woven into the psychological landscape.

Yet she also finds an urgent realism in the crises faced by her protagonists—mostly women—as they try to navigate through situations where their truest selves have to remain hidden.

Join King this week for a reading and signing event, and get an introduction to these intriguing misfits. (Scott Renshaw) Kristin Ann King: Misfits From the Beehive State @ Weller Book Works, 607 Trolley Square, 600 S 700 East, 801-328-2586, April 17, 6 p.m., free. WellerBookWorks.com

Salt Lake Acting Company: 4000 Miles Vera (Joyce Cohen) and her grandson Leo (Austin Grant, pictured)—the central characters of Amy Herzog’s 4000 Miles—have trouble communicating as soon as Leo enters Vera’s Manhattan apartment in the opening scene. He can’t understand her because she’s not wearing her false teeth; she can’t understand him because of her hearing problems. And it’s a terrifically efficient way of setting up a story about communication that should be easy turning out to be surprisingly hard.

Vera and Leo seem like they’re philosophically simpatico; she’s an old-school Marxist, and he’s a new-model progressive who’s been riding his bike cross-country. Yet Herzog’s wonderful text finds these two people wrestling with the problems that haunt them—a recent tragedy for Leo, agerelated health issues for Vera—and are unable to process them with the people in their lives who should be there to help, even when “family” is defined by much more than blood relation.

Salt Lake Acting Company’s production is anchored by wonderful chemistry between Cohen and Grant, capturing a familiarity that’s still complicated by their new living arrangement. Cohen in particular is a delight, embodying the frustrations of a senior whose every sentence seems to include “whaddaya call it?,” while also bringing subtle physical humor to moments like an incredulous eye roll at Leo’s late sleeping.

Wonderfully memorable supporting turns by Lily Hye Soo Dixon and Shelby Andersen flesh out a simple, human story that never over-reaches in trying to understand the emotional distance that can keep people from loving one another.

TUESDAY 4.22 Earth Day

The very first official Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970. For all intents and purposes, that day marks the birth of the modern environmental movement. Yep, it’s only been 40-some-odd years since we’ve collectively been trying to save our planet.

Although it’s officially just one day each spring, Earth Day celebrations have effectively overtaken several weekends in late April. Here in Utah, there are diverse festivities and fairs all around—like at Alta Ski Resort (April 19, Alta.com) and at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (April 19, UMFA.Utah.edu), both happening the weekend prior to Earth Day proper. There’s even a gathering focused on sustainable building called Earthship Biotecture at the Post Theatre on the University of Utah campus (April 19, Earthship.com), and a Party for the Planet at Hogle Zoo (April 26, HogleZoo.org). Some of the first outdoor festivals of the year are also part of the fun, like The Live Green Fest (May 3, LiveGreenSLC.com). Or if you can’t wait quite that long, there’s always Earth Jam (April 26-27, Earth-Jam.org), filled with music, dance and general goddess worship, this year occurring in beautiful Liberty Park.

It’s great that 40 years after the original Earth Day, there are still so many ways to celebrate it. If the founders had their way, such festivities wouldn’t be limited to April 22, or the weekends surrounding it. No, Earth Day would be each and every day. It’s a perfect reminder that it’s the little things that count the most, like consciously choosing to bike, recycle or plant a tree. (Jacob Stringer) Earth Day @ various Utah locations, April 18-22.

Broadway Across America: War Horse Stagecraft allows for—demands, in fact— different ways to tell stories than other media may permit. Sure, Steven Spielberg can make a film version of Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel War Horse and re-create the real trenches of World War I Europe, following a real horse on a journey that connects many different characters touched by the war. But for Nick Stafford’s theatrical adaptation, a different approach was required—one that brought the titular equine to life as an elaborate puppet.

The 2011 Tony Award-winner for Best Play follows the basic story, familiar from the novel and the film, in which a foal named Joey is bought by a poor English farmer and becomes the beloved companion of young Albert. But when Albert’s father runs out of money, he sells Joey to the cavalry in 1914, sending the horse on an odyssey across Europe. And when Albert becomes determined to find Joey, he experiences the war firsthand as well.

While Morpurgo’s basic story provides a compelling portrait of the unique horrors of the Great War tamed to be understandable from a child’s perspective, this stage is certainly most fascinating for the way the Handspring Puppet Company has re-created its horse characters for the stage. As emotionally affecting as it may be to watch a variation on a “boy and his dog” story that shows connections of love in a place of war, it may be even more amazing to see an audience become emotionally connected to a man-made animal.

Provo Alone There’s more unique fun to be found around BYU than you might expect.

By Kathleen Curry & Geoff Griffin comments@cityweekly.net @travelbrigade

T

here’s a college town noted for launching a number of highly acclaimed alternative bands, where the downtown is stocked with local fresh eateries, and just off campus you can find the sort of hot dog and burrito dives that students salivate over. You’ll even find mixology where you least expect it, art brought in straight from Europe and the ability to get in a quick round of surfing.

The college town in question? Provo.

No, seriously. We’re really talking about the town that’s home to the school that annually claims the top spot on the Princeton Review’s list of “Stone-Cold Sober Colleges.” True, nobody’s going to confuse a place full of this many minivans with Brooklyn or Portland, but there’s an unexpectedly fresh side of Provo that leaps outside the stereotypical box this Utah County spot often gets shoved in.

Plush Velour The heart of the Provo music scene that in recent years has launched the likes of Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons is Velour Live Music Gallery (135 N. University Ave., 801818-2263, VelourLive.com). The all-ages club is a top destination for touring bands and locals. Promoter Corey Fox has turned the Main Street storefront into a relaxed, comfortable concert setting for bands and audiences alike, holding 150 to 250 patrons depending on the setup.

Downtown Dining “Downtown” Provo really only comprises a few blocks, but that small space has a worldwide variety of cuisines as well as some homegrown options with their own unique menus. The setting and service at Communal (102 N. University Ave., 801373-8000, CommunalRestaurant.com) live up to the name, since the dining room has a long table to seat multiple parties and dishes are served either family-style or on small plates designed for sharing. The menu changes seasonally, with products sourced from local farms. Communal is open for lunch, dinner and Saturday brunch, and has a wine and beer list. Dinner provides the opportunity to select an entree from the Large Proteins section of the menu, such as Utah pork with arugula cherry salad ($25), or from the Small Shares section, where the 48-Hour pork belly ($10) is popular.

Regardless of your facial-hair situation or whether your clothes comply with the BYU Honor Code, you can visit J Dawgs and Mountain West Burrito, literally just steps off campus at the intersection of 700 East and 900 North. J Dawgs (858 N. 700 East, 801-373-3294, JDawgs.com) takes top-quality links ($3) and scores them with Xs before they go on the grill so there’s a juicy pop when you bite into them. Make sure to try the Special Sauce, which has a sticky, tangy taste you’ll want on every hot dog you ever eat again. Mountain West Burrito (815 N. 700 East, 801-607-1766, MountainWestBurrito.com) proudly proclaims, “We don’t own a can opener,” and the freshness of the ingredients and quality of the meats is apparent when you bite into a freshly made burrito or chimichanga. The regular goes for $7, while the $13 giant easily feeds two.

Mix It Up Even though there’s not much alcohol around Provo, there are people mixing up liquid flavors and finding interesting alternatives to put in martini glasses. Sodalicious (30 W. 300 North, 801-800-7317, SodaliciousUtah. com) is a small drive-thru sitting behind a barber shop, but always has a line of thirsty patrons trying mash-ups like Mango Mountain Dew, Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper, El Doctoro (Dr Pepper mixed with horchata), or coming up with their own creations ($1 for 16 ounces to $1.75 for 44 ounces.).

Sodalicious also features melted-chocolate lava drinks ($3).

The setting for the Choc’late Mousse Pie Bar (155 N. University Ave., TheChocLateMousse.com) is that of an upscale bar, but what’s in the martini glasses is mousse and pie fillings with crust mixes. Kick back with friends and “sip” some pie ($3-$6).

Provo pleasures: The Flowrider at Provo Beach (top), Communal restaurant (bottom)

From Surf to Sacred

Ocean, or go to Provo Beach (4801 N. University Ave., 801-224-5001, ProvoBeach. com). OK, it’s not actual surfing, but the indoor Flowrider lets people feel the experience of gliding along on moving water ($20 per hour).

The exhibition Sacred Gifts runs at the BYU Museum of Art (North Campus Drive, 801-422-8287, MOA.BYU.edu) through May 10. Tickets are free, but must be reserved online. What makes the show unique is that many of the 19th-century paintings and religious installations could previously only be seen on the walls of churches in Germany, Sweden and Denmark.

Provo will always be known for the Honor Code, milkshakes and skads of kids, but this college town also has an unexpected side. CW

If you’re on the Wasatch Front and feel like surfing, you can either drive to the Pacific

Allyn S. Hart: Seeing Through Water There has been one constant in Allyn S. Hart’s eventful, unconventional life: her multi-disciplined dedication to making art. The variable for Hart has been her choice in media; she usually opts for an artistic view of the natural world through a unique lens true to her sensibilities. “The choices about what to keep, how to best arrange and display what I want to reveal, shapes the final photograph,” Hart says in her artist’s statement for Seeing Through Water.

She’s referring to a photographic method whereby she can have an ongoing relationship with nature while digital photography grants her a rapid-fire shooting process; she can enjoy the outdoor experience and leave the curating until later. Hart is currently exploring water as her subject, making use of reflection, light and shadow, contrasts, color, top surfaces and underlying surfaces. From these elements, she works wonders with Photoshop, allowing the beauty of water to resonate with glorious results. (Ehren Clark) Allyn S.

Mary Roach: Gulp What do you get when you combine science and humor? You may think those two topics are not compatible, but think again; awardwinning author Mary Roach proves that not only does the pairing exist, but also that it’s well worth the journey of discovering obscure facts that you may have wondered about but were afraid to ask.

Best known for books like Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers and Bonk (which looked at sex researchers), the author’s fans know she is not afraid to tackle taboo topics. Roach’s latest book, Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, transports readers into the tube that reaches from our mouth to our rear, confronting burning questions like, “How much can you eat before your stomach will burst?” and “Did constipation kill Elvis?,” with her signature witty style.

THURSDAY 4.17 Doug Benson

Comedian Doug Benson loves weed. He starred in the documentary movie Super High Me, he wrote and toured the Off-Broadway hit The Marijuana-Logues (not to mention the book that followed, The Marijuana-Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember). He’s even been named High Time Magazine’s Stoner of the Year.

But for being a self-described pothead, Benson sure is productive. He has several podcasts (Doug Loves Movies and Get Doug With High), and does regular television stints and seemingly nonstop comedy tours. The secret? Consuming inebriating substances might just run in the family. Benson does a bit where he sits down to have a few drinks with his 85-year-old grandfather. At some point, he turns to his grandpa and says that he probably should stop, because he thinks he might be drunk.

His grandfather casually replies, “You’re not too drunk until you have to grab the grass to keep from falling off the earth.” (Jacob Stringer) Doug Benson @ Wiseguys West Valley, 2194 W. 3500 South, 801-463-2909, April 17, 7:30 p.m., 18+, $20. WiseguysComedy.com

FRIDAY 4.18

Utah Symphony: Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 After Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 premiered in 1904, he’s alleged to have lamented, “Nobody understood it. I wish I could conduct the first performance 50 years after my death.”

Mahler died in 1911, and more than 50 years later, in the 1960s, Maurice Abravanel held the baton when the Utah Symphony heightened its reputation with recordings of Mahler’s works. More than 100 years after the composer’s death—and nearly 50 years after the Abravanel recordings— the tradition continues as maestro Thierry Fischer takes the orchestra through Mahler’s Symphony

No. 5. Hopefully Mahler is smiling somewhere.

Mahler is the anchor for a varied evening of music that includes two works by American composer Elliott Carter, featuring percussionist Colin Currie. Pachelbel’s Canon in D is also on the program. You’ve heard it played dozens of times at just about any wedding, graduation, funeral, baptism, talent show, etc., you’ve ever been to.

This is your chance to hear it performed by a professional orchestra. (Geoff Griffin) Utah Symphony: Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 @ Abravanel Hall, 123 W. South Temple, 801-355-2787, April 18-19, 8 p.m., $18-$69.

Salt Lake City Marathon Celebrated Japanese novelist and noted longdistance runner Haruki Murakami noted that, “As with marathon runs and lengths of toilet paper, there had to be standards to measure up to.”

As such, the marathon has become a standard bucket-list item for everyday athletes wanting to push themselves to the physical limit.

The Salt Lake City Marathon has become such a target for many locals, as well as many international runners looking to get into more prestigious events like the ones in Boston or New York City.

Not just a 26.2 mile race, though, Salt Lake City’s event also boast a half-marathon, bike tour, 5K, youth marathon and a Quality of Life Expo.

As most runners know, there’s a natural high that comes from pounding the pavement mile after mile that you just can’t get anywhere else. As Murakami himself wrote, “All I do is keep on running in my own cozy, homemade void, my own nostalgic silence.

And this is a pretty wonderful thing. No matter what anybody else says.” (Jacob Stringer) Salt Lake City Marathon @ various locations; finish-line festivities at Library Square, 210 E. 400 South, April 19, $20-$130. SaltLakeCityMarathon.com

don’t normally write about bar food because, well ... it’s bar food. Sure, there are bars with great food—the bars at places like Bambara, Ruth’s Chris, Wild Grape Bistro, Tuscany and a few others come to mind. But, those are all attached to restaurants; they are not bars first and foremost.

Well, a recent addition to the local bar scene happens to be a great addition to the dining scene, as well. It turns out you can have your flourless chocolate torte and eat it, too.

From Copper Onion owners Ryan and Colleen Lowder comes Copper Common, located just a few steps down from The Copper Onion, in the space where Plum Alley used to be. What happened to Plum A lley, you ask? This requires a bit of backstory.

Following the success of Copper Onion, the Lowders had planned to open a bar on the corner. They wanted it to be a “real” bar—one with a terrific selection of whiskeys, bourbons and such. However, at the time, there were no full bar liquor licenses to be had. So, they went to Plan B and opened the pan-Asian restaurant Plum Alley. When a license finally became available, the Lowders decided to close Plum Alley and open their dream bar, Copper Common. So, Plum Alley is closed, but only temporarily. The plan is to reopen the restaurant in a new location, still to be determined.

There isn’t so much as a shred of chopstick left over from the Plum Alley décor at Copper Common. The space has been completely overhauled, right down to the flooring. According to Ryan Lowder, the Copper Common look and lighting is an homage to Thomas Edison; the bar is adjacent to Edison Street. So, the place has a nostalgic feel about it.

What sets Copper Common apart from most bars is that it offers the best of two worlds: It’s a full-on, no-nonsense bar, for sure. But, it’s also a bar with a full restaurant menu—and I’m not just talking nachos and chicken wings. Keep in mind that The Copper Onion is just a few doors down, so Copper Common isn’t going to dish up mediocre bar fare. There is something for everybody, from bar snacks like housemade pickles and smoked pork rillettes to mid-size plates of pastas, salads and such, plus large entree-type dishes like

21-and-older vegetarian restaurant that turns into a dance club, Zest Kitchen & Bar stands alone in Salt Lake City. Casey Staker created Zest—which serves an inventive cocktail menu and tast y food made with local ingredients—to combine his passion for organic cuisine, original cocktails and live local music. And now that Zest is open for lunch, even more people have the opportunity to explore its good-for-you delicacies.

thE pLaCE WhErE EvEryoNE "mEatS"

Staker says that Zest’s most popular dish is the roasted mushrooms stuffed with a smooth, zesty cashew cheese.

They’re delicious to snack on while enjoying a cocktail and figuring out what else to order.

My very favorite Zest meal is the traditional combination of tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. A thick layer of decadent pesto and sliced avocado gives this classic sandwich a healthy spin, but with local cheese from Caputo’s, it’s still cheesy, gooey and perfectly dip-able in soup.

Brunch options are also available at Zest during lunch service. According to Staker, one of the most ordered brunch items is the savory chickpea pancake with sauteed mushrooms and spinach, served with a smoked cashew creme sauce. Add a cup of Charming Beard coffee, and your day is off to a successful start.

Lunch is available after 11 a.m.

Tuesday through Saturday. The service at Zest is always quick and friendly, and takeout is also available. In either case, don’t forget to get something from the dessert menu. The Salted Caramel Hazelnut Torte is an incredible way to round out your healthy lunch. CW

Goldfield Trip Tasting ideal Chardonnay and Pinot at Lodge Bistro.

By Ted Scheffler comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

ention Alta and Snowbird to Dan Goldfield—owner/founder of Sonoma’s Dutton-Goldfield Winery—and his eyes light up. Had he not gone into the wine biz, he’d have made a helluva ski bum. He and his family relish skiing in Utah, and make time nearly every year for a stay at Alta’s Goldminer’s Daughter Lodge. The accommodations for his most recent visit were a bit more upscale, however, as he was in town to host a wine dinner at the Bistro in The Lodge at Snowbird.

I wrote a few years ago about Goldfield’s Utah connections. Prior to becoming a world-class winemaker, Goldfield did graduate work in physical chemistry at the University of Utah. That’s where his love affair with Utah’s natural treasures began.

Goldfield knows Utah—from the Wasatch Mountains to Kolob Canyons—better than

many of the state’s natives.

Being able to sip and chat about DuttonGoldfield wines with Goldfield, accompanied by an outstanding four-course dinner prepared by top-notch chef R.J. Peterson, was a real treat and a pleasure. Before dinner began, I noted how hands-on Goldfield is, scampering around the restaurant making sure that his wines were all at the perfect temperature for serving. As a winemaker and chemist, Goldfield shares a pet peeve with me: Most white wines in restaurants are served too cold, and reds are poured too warm.

A luscious seared sea scallop with fennel-onion risotto and caper-raisin emulsion served as the first course.

Normally, I think Sauvignon Blanc when partnering wine with scallops. However, Dutton-Goldfield 2011 Rued Vineyard Chardonnay was spot-on with the scallop and the creamy risotto. The name of this Green Valley-Russian River Valley Chardonnay refers to the “Rued Clone” grape, which has been propagated across California from what was originally a socalled “Chardonnay-musque” selection.

That’s of interest to wine geeks. For everyone else, there are the gorgeous floral aromatics of the wine matched by sunny tropical flavors and tangerine. Think you don’t love California Chardonnay? You haven’t tried this one.

DRINK Another excellent Lodge Bistro offering— an herbed lamb “lollipop” with white bean puree and fresh grape sauce—was paired with 2012 Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir. Like every Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir, this one was silky and elegant, yet earthy, with dark berry fruit flavors, good structure and light alcohol—a very good choice to match with lamb.

During dinner, I asked Goldfield a question I’ve often wondered about, but thought it was too rudimentary to pose to such a talented w inemaker: When he makes wine, such as Pinot Noir, does he have a vision or a model in mind, perhaps based on a memorable French Burgundy he’d once tasted? In other words: “Is there a target you’re shooting for?”

Goldf ield humored me by saying, “That’s a very good question.” In a nutshell, while w inema kers are named as

such because they make wine, Goldfield stressed the importance of letting the grapes tell you what the wine will be. He doesn’t have a Platonic Ideal of the perfect Dutton-Goldfield Pinot, which he then creates by manipulation and force.

Rather, he allows the grapes and weather and a hundred other variables to tell him what the wine will be, all the while lending his impressive winemaking skills to the process.

With coffee- and a ncho-ch i le-br a ised short ribs, we sipped 2011 Pinot Noir Fox Den Vineyard, along with 2007 Freestone Hill Vineyard Pinot. It was a special treat to be able to taste the beautifully aging Freestone Hill wine next to the younger Fox Den. I’d suggest trying to get your hands on both and enjoying them side-byside as we did. You’ll forever be a DuttonGoldfield fan. CW

Almost Human

CINEMA

Under the Skin casts the hypnotic spell of experiencing the world for the first time.

Coitus Continuous

By Scott Renshaw scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

By Scott Renshaw scottr@cityweely.net @scottrenshaw

W

A

Scarlett Johansson in Under the Skin absorbs more human experience—walking through a mall, or looking with curiosity at her own human face and body, or even attempting to eat human food—she begins to change. And part of becoming more connected to human experience means finding herself at times lost and at risk.

Many early descriptions of Under the Skin compared Glazer’s work to that of Stanley Kubrick, and it’s easy to see how some of the hypnotic imagery and stark compositions during the opening scenes could inspire that connection. Yet Glazer also employs a chaosembracing methodology Kubrick never would have considered, hiding cameras in a car and along streets to observe Johansson’s interactions with unwitting civilian passersby. That formula—a combination of precision planning and the unpredictability of real people—is part of what makes Under the Skin such a remarkable piece of work.

It’s unconventional enough that it might at first feel completely alien; it’s only once you surrender to everything you see and hear that it grabs on to you somewhere vital and human. CW

UNDER THE SKIN

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

tance in her mission from a group of motorcycle-riding “cleaners,” and that whatever the men she catches are meant for, there’s no coming back from it. If you’re a viewer for whom “what’s going on” is an essential piece of your movie-going experience, Under the Skin demands your full attention (and only partly because the dense Scottish accents can be a challenge for the uninitiated).

Then again, it’s hard to imagine why anyone’s attention might wane from Glazer’s startling images. Some of the moments he captures are impossible to shake: a human body reduced to a flapping, floating husk; a tear falling from the eye of a body that has outlived its usefulness; one of The Girl’s targets, a man with severe facial deformities, pinching his own hand, unable to believe that a beautiful woman is taking interest in him; a baby abandoned and crying on a rocky beach. Combined with the unsettling music score by Mica Levi and haunting sound design by Johnnie Burn, Under the Skin becomes the kind of complete sensory experience movies almost never strive to be.

If that sensory experience is often disorienting, that’s only because it should be.

Johansson’s terrific, almost entirely physical performance pulls us into the perspective of someone who initially is merely a mimic of humanity; it’s chilling watching her flip the switch from flirtatious banter to a dead-eyed stare when her efforts at seducing a man are unsuccessful. Yet as The Girl

hen we left Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac (“Coit us Interruptus,” April 3, City Weekly), we’d been stopped cold in the middle of an ongoing narrative with damaged, ravenously sexual Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) relating her life story to the bookish, introverted Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård). So what happens as we wrap it all up in a bondage knot?

The cumulative build-up of von Trier’s story truly becomes clear as the story moves on to Joe’s life after having a baby with her closest-thing-to-a-truelove, Jerome (Shia LaBeouf). Joe’s quest for some kind of sensation after becoming sexually numb eventually leads her to a man (Jamie Bell) who dominates her in various S&M scenarios. And if violence against women makes you squeamish … well, you probably should never watch a Lars von Trier film.

The frustrating conclusion of Nymphomaniac, however, has less to do with von Trier’s characteristic journeying into extremes than with digressing from what made the story most intriguing in the first place. There’s far less of the interaction between Joe and Seligman, which frames the juxtaposition between Joe’s self-judgment and Seligman’s matter-of-fact absorbing of her stories as just another bit of data to add to his mental library. It strays even farther when the conclusion focuses on Joe’s new career as an organized crime collector, and her relationship with a young protégé (Mia Goth). With only isolated exceptions, von Trier loses sight of his daring questioning of where and why we draw our sexual morality lines in the sand, and how we respond to our desires.

Perhaps the final moments of Nymphomaniac circle around to that idea perfectly. Then again, maybe it’s just the hugely frustrating punch line to some shaggy-dog joke. Either way, it might be a lot easier to judge the film in its entirety, rather than catching up with Vol. 2 merely to discover it’s quite an anti-climax. CW

mong the first discernible sounds in Under the Skin—director Jonathan Glazer’s instant masterpiece of meditation-on-the-human-experience body horror—is Scarlett Johansson’s voice practicing sounds. It runs through individual letters of the alphabet, as though for the first time, and then individual words, all while the screen is consumed by the construction of what appears to be a human eye. The pairing of those sounds with that image captures everything that’s so gob-smacking about this movie: It virtually demands learning an entirely new language of movie storytelling.

Moviegoers often dread risk y filmmaking—sometimes because they fear that someone’s daring them to “get it,” sometimes because they feel their time and money have been wasted if they don’t “get it.”

And Under the Skin is a daring approach to what easily could have been a simple genre tale spiced with a little sex and violence.

But Glazer takes from the raw material of Michael Faber’s source-material novel an idea about what it’s like to be experiencing the world through eyes and ears that have never seen or heard it before—and carrying viewers into sharing that experience makes it as unsettling as it is mind-blowing.

It shouldn’t be considered a spoiler to note that Johansson’s never-named character in Under the Skin is not of this world.

And she’s built to be a hunter, of a very particular kind: Prowling the streets of Glasgow and surrounding Scottish towns, she uses human libido as the bait, luring men intoxicated with the promise of sex with this beautiful, willing “woman” to their doom in a room that feels like a universe of blackness.

Glazer (Birth) and co-screenwriter Walter Campbell refuse to spell out most of the details of this particular close encounter. It’s clear that “The Girl” has assis-

CINEMA CLIPS NEW THIS WEEK Information is correct at press time. Film release schedules are subject to change.

Bears HHH A single bear mom (Sky) and her two cubs (Amber & Scout) attempt to make their way across Alaska’s Katmai Park after hibernation, learning to forage for food while predators nibble at their heels. The latest in DisneyNature’s line of Earth Day documentaries (African Cats, Chimpanzee) doesn’t deviate much from the anthropomorphized playbook, but the manipulation is easier to take this time around, thanks to some spectacular wintry locations and a narrative that’s mostly content to just let its stars be themselves. (An amazing sequence involving an unusually limber salmon seems like the happiest of accidents.) Best of all, perhaps, is the film’s choice of celebrity narrator, an area in which these movies have stumbled in the past.

(Tim Allen performing his stand-up act during Chimpanzee was particularly dismal.) Kudos, though, to whoever made the absolutely inspired selection of John C. Reilly, whose bedtime storyish vocal performance feels just right for the material, as well as occasionally meta-hilarious for older viewers. Warm, rumbly and endearingly befuddled, his voiceover often sounds like he just stumbled across a microphone and started rambling, in the best possible way. Send more wildlife to him, please. (G)—Andrew Wright Dom Hemingway HH.5 When we first meet the titular character (Jude Law)—a safecracker serving 12 years in prison after refusing to snitch on his boss—he’s sharing a poetic ode to the splendor of his male organ.

That’s really when writer/director Richard Shepard’s crime comedy is most effective—simply letting this guy be an unrepentant a-hole.

Fresh out of jail, he goes to retrieve the payoff owed to him by that boss (Demian Bichir) for his silence, and there are a few magnificent scenes of Dom simply snapping whenever an ill mood strikes him.

But Shepard feels the need to turn the unrepentant Dom into a repentant Dom, so we eventually follow him trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Emilia Clarke) and perhaps learn a Very Important Lesson. And that’s precisely the point where movie’s rhythm gets too choppy, bouncing between episodes— including Dom’s attempt to ingratiate himself with the son of a former rival—that allow the focus to drift from Law’s cock-of-thewalk performance. As the wise Donald Sutherland in Animal House once observed, sometimes being bad is more fun than being good.

Opens April 18 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—Scott Renshaw

Finding Vivian Maier HH.5 Is it wrong to be a touch skeptical of a documentary when the filmmaker stands to gain the most financially from the increased notoriety of its subject? John Maloof—co-directing with Charlie Siskel—tells a story that begins with his own discovery at an estate sale of hundreds of photo negatives by a woman named Vivian Maier, who worked as a nanny and housekeeper (including for Phil Donahue), never publicly showing her work before she died in 2009. Maloof becomes fascinated with Maier’s shots of mostly Chicago-area street life, and buys more of her negatives while investigating who she was. He uncovers some compelling stuff about Maier’s reclusiveness, possible indications of mental illness, even questions about whether her French accent was real. And the photos themselves are striking works of candid portraiture spanning several decades. But Maloof also criticizes the arts “establishment” for refusing to accept Maier’s work into museums, and makes a protests-too-much point of claiming on-camera “if I could give her the money, I would.” Learning about this great artist requires wondering whether the movie is a bit of an infomercial for her work. Opens April 18 at Tower Theatre. (NR)—SR A Haunted House 2 [not yet reviewed] More satire of mainstream horror films. Opens April 18 at theaters valleywide. (R) Heaven is For Real HH Following a scary experience on an operating table, a 4-year-old boy finds himself with an eerily specific view of the afterlife, to the initial consternation of his pastor father (Greg Kinnear). Faithbased films have often favored the message over the medium, but this adaptation of the 2010 bestseller feels like an actual movie for much of the time, thanks to an ace supporting cast (including Margo Martindale and Thomas Haden Church), and a nicely livedin approach to the small town setting. Director Randall Wallace (Secretariat) has a definite feel for the low-grade panic of people finding themselves in a financial hole. As the narrative progresses, however, the tone become less surefooted, with the more unusual elements—rainbow-colored horses, power beams blasting down to Earth—sometimes seeming like they’d be better suited painted on the side of a van, rather than depicted in a film with a noticeably limited effects budget. Give credit to the casting director for finding an actor who looks exactly like a young kid’s conception of Jesus, but some things work better when told, rather than shown. Opens April 16 at theaters valleywide. (PG)—AW

Nymphomaniac Vol. 2 HH.5 See review p. 45. Opens April 18 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (NR)

Transcendence HH Like so much of modern technology, Transcendence starts out full of excitement and promise before proving to be just another expensive gadget of dubious usefulness. The directorial debut of cinematographer Wally Pfister (he’s Christopher Nolan’s favorite), this half-hearted examination of the conflict between humanity and technology stars Johnny Depp as Will Caster, a brilliant Berkeley scientist at death’s door who uploads his consciousness into the artificial intelligence device that he’s been developing with his wife, Evelyn (Rebecca Hall), and their conscience-stricken colleague Max (Paul Bettany). Now a superintelligent living computer with access to all the world’s knowledge, Will develops nanotechnology that can heal injuries and cure disease—but at what cost? Despite the alluring premise of an omniscient A.I., the film gets bogged down by elements it doesn’t have time to explore (anti-tech terrorists, the FBI, nano-enhanced super-soldiers). Moreover, it lacks a strong lead: Depp is a digital entity devoid of personality; Hall is inconsistent and purely functional; and Bettany is sidelined for most of it. Jack Paglen’s disappointing screenplay barely scratches the surface of the fascinating moral and scientific questions it hints at. Opens April 18 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13)—Eric D.

CURRENT RELEASES

Draft Day HHH How satisfying to see Kevin Costner back in a milieu that shows off his best side: a contemporary sports comedy. He plays Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr., preparing for the NFL draft under trying circumstances that might push him into questionable decisions. There may be little onfield action, but this is a football movie, filled with sharp details that are catnip for hardcore fans; the energy dips considerably when the focus turns to the soap opera of Sonny’s life. Yet Draft Day still has Costner in his element, getting a twinkle in his eye when Sonny is playing psychological games with fellow general managers trying to make trades. This is, fittingly, a character study about a guy trying to show the world that he’s exactly where he belongs. (PG-13)—SR Oculus HHH Yes, it’s about a haunted mirror—and it’s better than any film about a haunted mirror ought to be. Mike Flanagan expands his 2006 short, about a brother and sister (Brenton Thwaites and Karen Gillan) who saw their parents’ sanity undone by a malevolent antique mirror, determined to prove the mirror is supernatural—and then destroy it. Flanagan shows us both timelines, 11 years ago and the present, and though the tension of the flashback story is diminished by already knowing how it ends, Flanagan cuts between them expertly, letting the past and present bleed together. Telling a story about a mirror that plays mind games means Flanagan gets to play mind games too. He revels in keeping us off-balance, not letting us figure out what’s real any sooner than the characters do as the creepy story unfolds. (R)—EDS

Community Thursday, April 17 (NBC)

Orphan Black Saturday, April 19 (BBC America)

Conspiracy paranoia thriller with many a squee-worthy twist (and even more coming in Season 2), and wisecracking Felix (Jordan Gavaris) is the new It Sidekick.

Don’t miss Orphan Black (again).

Salem Sunday, April 20 (WGN America) Series Debut: Damn, everybody wants a piece of the Original Programming pie— even Chicago superstation (Wiki it, kids) WGN. Salem, a 17th-century period piece about—what else?—the Salem witch trials, from a creative team with a dubious TV résumé (anybody remember Threshold?

FlashForward? Terra Nova?), will likely be filed under “Nice Try, But …” in the near future; if you’ve already sampled “Sexy History” shows like Vikings, Black Sails, The Tudors, Spartacus or even The CW’s Reign, there’s nothing new to see here.

Well, except for ex-Nikita buzzcut Shane West in a hilarious wig from the Sons of Anarchy Halloween collection.

The Boondocks Monday, April 21 (Adult Swim) Season Premiere: According to Adult Swim, “This season was produced without the involvement of [creator/executive producer] Aaron McGruder, when a mutually

Orphan Black (BBC America) agreeable production schedule could not be determined.” Meaning: Adult Swim wanted the fourth and final (and, wild guess here, contracted?) season of The Boondocks now, and McGruder works on his own schedule.

Since the last new episode aired in 2010, draw your own conclusions. Even with McGruder, The Boondocks has been frustratingly uneven; searingly hilarious and ruthless about black culture one episode, flat and lazy the next—maybe his absence won’t make a difference. Besides, he’s on to his next project now, Black Jesus, which he’s producing for … Adult Swim? So no one’s learned anything from all of this?

True Tori Tuesday, April 22 (Lifetime) Series Debut: This is Tori Spelling’s, what, fourth reality show? After as many tellall autobiographies? She—and especially husband Dean McDermott—ain’t that fascinating, and yet TV networks and book publishers can’t get enough of ’em. True Tori picks up with the couple three weeks after McDermott has left rehab, which is the standard, healthy amount of time to begin shooting your next reality series, and … yeah, I’ve already lost interest. CW

Season Premiere: The Only TV Column That Matters™ inadvertently overlooked the 2013 debut season of Orphan Black, a British sci-fi series about a small-time criminal (Tatiana Maslany) who assumes the identity of a dead police detective she eerily resembles, only to learn she’s a clone, and that there are several other cloned versions of herself out there, as well. I’ve caught up, and I’d suggest you do the same, because Orphan Black is one of those rare sci-fi shows that plays outside of its genre as an engrossing, personal drama, and Maslany’s virtuostic performance—multiple distinct performances, to be exact—is that of a star in the making. It’s a Me (Us) Against a Grand

Season Finale: One of the best and definitely most out-there seasons of Community has also been its least-watched—it’s almost as if creator Dan Harmon took his second chance with NBC as a challenge: “You think it was weird before? Suck on this!” And yet, even with Season 5’s sub-CW ratings, Community could still realize the dream of Six Seasons and a Movie, because the only other half-hour comedy to survive NBC’s 2013-14 slate is Parks & Recreation; launching a new comedy block with only one established show is already a proven Turrible Idea (see: NBC Thursday, September 2013).

So, with a hopeful eye to Fall 2014, how’s Community closing out this bizarro season?

With a guest appearance from Chris Elliott (Eagleheart) … this does not bode well.

Creature Double Feature explore worlds seen and unseen on new album.

By Kolbie Stonehocker kstonehocker@cityweekly.net @vonstonehocker

T

aking the form of the root of an ancient tree, sinking into the earth beneath the forest and slowly absorbing cool, dark water. Transforming into a beetle and climbing up the stalk of a mushroom to reach the morning sun, the air thick with pollen. Taking the hand of a being that’s old and unnamed but somehow familiar, and following them into the darkness. Moonlit mountain peaks like fangs. Blood.

The images that take form in the mind when listening to Salt Lake City neopsychedelic band Creature Double Feature are strange and spectacular indeed. Hypnotic almost to the point of intoxication, as spellbinding as an incantation spoken by a honeyed tongue, Creature Double Feature’s music weaves a mesmerizing magic.

Teenage brothers Davis and Mason Johnson are the creators of Creature Double Feature’s strange sonic worlds, filled with invisible forces and cryptic communications.

They’re also explorers, probing the barriers between the physical and spiritual realms. Their often nature-centric music documents those journeys into the unknown, as well as the mind-expanding points where humans cross paths with the supernatural and surrender to that power.

“I think of Creature Double Feature as being about a feeling of duality or cognitive dissonance,” says vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Davis. “Like the feeling of other people being in your head and not being exclusively in control.”

In the short amount of time Davis and Mason have been writing music as Creature Double Feature (only a few years), they’ve been astoundingly prolific, releasing a variety of home-recorded EPs and singles as well as six full-length albums, including the new Full Circle Love Song.

They’d already honed their skills in experimenting with diverse styles—from psych-rock to folk to trip-hop—on their many past albums, so on Full Circle Love Song, Davis says, “I feel like we were able to execute something that was a lot more articulate than any of other albums. ... Every album is kind of its own little world, so by making the whole album and exploring that whole world, it’s like a whole new base of knowledge.”

Full Circle Love Song also finds Creature Double Feature discovering their truest sound. “I feel like this is kind of the album that I’ve always wanted to make but haven’t been able to,” Davis says. “I see all our other albums as turning on the lights in different rooms. But now, I’ve illuminated enough rooms that I can settle into the house.”

To say the songs on Full Circle Love Song are detailed doesn’t begin to do them justice. After Davis and Mason “lay out the bones of the song” with guitar and vocals, Davis says, he takes the rough recordings into his basement studio and will “spend hours just finding sounds and making sure everything is right.”

Building up multiple layers of distorted vocals, pitchshifter guitar pedals, a drum kit and drum machines as well as a kaleidoscopic array of instruments such as glockenspiel and a Zimbabwean thumb piano called a kalimba, Davis lov-

Record Store Day 2014

By Deann Armes comments@cityweekly.net

I

still have my first record purchase, from 1986: Run-D.M.C.’s “You Be Illin’ ” single on 12-inch vinyl. My local record store is where I discovered Edie Brickell & New Bohemian’s “What I Am” single on cassette. I recall pedaling as fast as I could on my bike to pick up my special order the day it finally arrived in the summer of 1988, and tearing open the plastic to glimpse inside before heading home to lie on my bedroom floor and take in that first listen.

Thankfully, we aren’t left with only memories of the good ol’ indie record stores. Record shops are still alive in across America. And Record Store Day reminds us why they still matter.

Several of our own Salt Lake City record shops will be taking part in the worldwide celebration— which takes place every third Saturday in April— with live music, art displays, door prizes and as many exclusive releases and limited runs as they could get their hands on. Most have ordered as many as possible, but there are no guarantees, and quantities are limited. So don’t walk, run!

To see all that’s available, check out RecordStoreDay.com.

Graywhale, multiple locations, Fatfin.com

Creature Double Feature set off into the unknown. ingly brings the songs to life. “I think of recording a lot like painting,” he says. “When I lay down the basic guitars and the basic vocals, it’s kind of like wash, and there’s not a lot of definition to stuff. So then I like to come through with more sharp instruments to refine certain parts.”

And “since the setup is so lo-fi,” he says, it’s not a rare for some elements of a final recording to blend together and no longer bear any resemblance to earthly instruments.

“I don’t want you to be able to pinpoint every instrument on it,” Davis says. “I like to leave the element of mystery.”

There’s plenty left to the imagination when it comes to the messages contained in Full Circle Love Song as well. One of the most significant themes on the album is a reverence and respect for nature, and several songs advocate veganism (“Shaken”) and mourn environmental destruction and contemplate humanity’s future (“Goodbye”). But instead of these issues being screamingly obvious, they’re addressed “in a more subtle way, so it’s not an overtly political album,” Davis says. On the album, “I wanted to inspire a love of nature and also hint at a couple of issues, to reach people’s hearts and make them care about these things.”

While some of the encounters with nature described on Full Circle Love Song are carefree and sun-dappled, like in the song “Hello,” some are sublimely terrifying and ghostly, such as the climactic “Magic Mirror.” But as an allencompassing “love song for the Mother Earth,” Davis says, Full Circle Love Song couldn’t shy away from the bleak and destructive aspects of nature.

“I wanted to make it like the whole love song, like a mature love song that’s the whole full-circle picture,” he says. “The goods and the bads, and the happy moments and the really dark moments, and just everything in between.” CW

W

ith its recent rise in popularity, electronic music shows are becoming almost as numerous as the stars in the sky. From the supernova-size Electric Daisy Carnival to dwarfstar-size underground raves, the number of events on the national level seems to increase every day, centered mostly in Los Angeles, New York and Las Vegas. Now, local production group New World Presents is gathering a collective of DJs, visual artists and music fans of all kinds for an “unearthly experience” of dancing, art installations and an environmentally conscious message at a unique Salt Lake City event, Deep Space.

This isn’t the first foray into putting on a cosmos-themed party for Bobby Ward, cofounder of New World Presents. In March, Ward spent $1,500 of his savings on a similar event, Project Space, “just to see if we could get the people there, to see if it worked,” he says. News of the event spread through the online networks of Burners (devotees of the Burning Man Festival, a heavy influence on New World Presents) and EDM fans as well as by word of mouth, and the all-night event reached close to capacity with an eclectic crowd.

“We were looking at metalheads with spiked leather boots dancing with transvestites and candy ravers,” says New World Presents co-founder Chad Wing. “It was very cohesive.” The judgment-free zone is an important part of the 125-bpm-filled atmosphere of Deep Space; it’s an environment where, as Wing puts it, “you don’t have to abide by certain social norms.”

The soundtrack for the pretension-less night will be headlined by a diverse group of local acts including Red Spectral (house) and Theta~Rhythms+Xzentradi (stardust glitch), as well as up-and-coming California native Ghostea (bass). The broad lineup promises a “brief escape from the monotonies and hardships of life,” explains Red Spectral, a self-proclaimed “techno-shamanist in training.” This sense of “escape” is brought about by more than just the music being played, as the sounds are only part of the festivities.

Adding the crucial visuals to the spacethemed ambience will be a vast array of visual art, including projections from Visual Trigger—founder of the visual-art collective Royal Jelly Bees—light-activated RGB paintings from Peter Nielsen and live canvas painting by Brittney Moreno. The visuals and music generate a zone designed

House artist Cody Layton, aka Red Spectral

to create a collaborative and unique platform, “allowing artists to come exhibit their artwork,” Ward says.

While the aurally and visually stimulating experience is the draw for most attendees, it’s not the only purpose of Deep Space.

Both Ward and Wing attended March’s Clean Air Fair and were inspired to promote responsible environmental stewardship at Deep Space. Putting their money where their mouth is, they’ll put $2 of every ticket sold toward investing in solar-powered generators. “It’s definitely going to be one of our main investments,” Ward says.

The forward-thinking affair is being held at the SLC Photo Collective, but if the popularity of these New World Presents soirees continues to increase, it’s possible the event may move to a bigger venue. Wing hopes that this event can help bring more people into the EDM domain. “I feel like Salt Lake is on the verge of becoming a vibrant, cultural DJ scene,” he says. “It’s ready, it wants to be.”

Ward is also optimistic about the SLC DJ scene, hinting that future happenings are currently in the works with multiple motifs of “arriving on alien planets,” with each event being held in various locations to match each planetary theme. But for now, as Ward puts it, the main goal of Deep Space is “bringing Salt Lake really good music.” CW

The Goddamn Gallows “The Maker,” the titular track from The Goddamn Gallows’ brand-new full-length, kicks ass—and blackens some eyes, punches out some teeth and busts some ribs. What else did you expect from a band that has a song called “Y’all Motherfuckers Need Jesus” and a sound that’s as creepy as an overgrown boneyard behind a brokendown carnival? Taking Americana music styles like bluegrass and country, dousing them in moonshine and lighting them on fire with punk energy, the sound produced by the Detroit-based five-piece—they call it “gutterbilly”—is loud and fast, with lots of mandolin, banjo, accordion and high-octane evil. Make sure to check out their 2011 album, Seven Devils, which would be the perfect

J.D. McPherson Listen to Broken Arrow, Okla., R&B/soul vocalist and guitarist J.D. McPherson for more than five seconds, and you’ll immediately begin to sway—no matter where you are. The musical roots of his throwback sound have been getting people moving since the ’50s, when pioneers like Little Richard and Buddy Holly lit the rock & roll wildfire. The former schoolteacher’s 2010 debut album, Signs & Signifiers, oozes retro charm and was even recorded on vintage equipment in a completely analog studio, but it’s not some dusty relic of the past. In McPherson’s online bio, he says, “I didn’t want to make a time-machine record, so we tried to make something relevant but with all the things we love about rock & roll and rhythm & blues and mesh it all together.” Check out “Fire Bug,” and don’t fight the urge to dance.

Together, Salt Lake City native Red Moses and Provo native Sami Knowles create a sound that’s haunting, gritty and filled with ghostly vocal harmonies, perfect for cranking up during a solo road trip through the desert. They get a lot of sound out of the four hands and two voices between them, with Knowles taking on triple duty by playing percussion and keyboard and singing simultaneously. Moses’ guitar chords are spacey and droning, reminiscent of Spaghetti Western rock band Spindrift.

The Blue Aces EP Release As an audience-delighting act at significant local shows such as the Rooftop Concert Series—catch them this October when they play with Fictionist—and Velour’s Les Femmes de Velour showcase, The Blue Aces are one of the many talented bands currently blowing up in the Provo music scene. Combining anthemic guitar, emotionfilled lyrics and a genuine passion for their music, Cristal Ramirez—whose powerful lead vocals would give Grace Potter a run for her money—McKenna Petty, Katie Henderson and Alisa Ramirez play a stirring brand of pop-rock that’s full of high energy and a blast to witness live. At this show, the allwoman band will officially release their latest EP, Gave You My Heart; to get a taste for their new music, check out the music video for the new single “I Don’t Wanna Know,” a biting song about cutting a poisonous person loose and leaving them behind for good.

Temples With jangly tambourines, fuzzed-out guitar and droning keyboard effects, the time-tested sound produced by this neopsychedelic foursome from Kettering, England, often gets compared to the Fab Four’s classic style. But Temples are quick to clarify that they’re more influenced by another ’60s band, The Byrds. “They’re hazier and more interesting,” says bassist/vocalist Thomas Warmsley in the band’s online bio.

“The Beatles give too much away; the Byrds make you work hard. It’s that quest to learn more and discover more.” Temples have been getting buzz ever since they exploded the Internet with the 2012 release of their first song, “Shelter Song,” which was included on their shimmering, multilayered debut album, Sun Structures, released in February.

Mary Tebbs, Landscape of Love Vols. 1 & 2 HHH.5 Truly falling in love requires opening oneself up to another person, for better or worse. And it feels like that’s what singer-songwriter Mary Tebbs is doing as she fearlessly lays bare her own complicated emotions on her latest album. An honest depiction of love that includes not just the giddy feeling of initial attraction (“Beautiful”) but the pain of loss and absence (“Missing You”) and a palpable sense of yearning (“Him”), Landscape of Love Vols. 1 & 2 is a complete picture of the nuances of human entanglements.

Tebbs’ voice is warm and slightly lower, reminding me of the vibrato-rich voice of Lucinda Williams, and any instrumental accompaniment—mostly acoustic guitar and lap steel—on the album is deftly done, allowing that voice to shine. The album is lengthy (18 tracks), but no song ever falls into the category of “typical love song” because Tebbs’ songwriting is so thought provoking and fresh, such as the clever line “I’m nearly colorblind/ All I see is blue” (“Hole In My Heart”). In matters of the heart, Tebbs’ words are much more than sweet nothings. March 20, self-released, MaryTebbs.com

Certainly an ambitious project, the latest album from singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Richard Tyler Epperson clocks in at more than an hour and features a mix of genres. But Epperson could’ve created a much more cohesive release if he’d trimmed the album’s length a bit and tossed out the electronica.

His easygoing voice seems better suited to breezy songs like “Beautiful Day” and “The Life (Fall on Me),” which are nice slices of indie-folk even though the Jason Mraz-esque guitar often sounds the same from song to song. If there is a spot where venturing out of the acoustic realm works well, it’s on the pop-rock track “Waste.” Except for the subtle synth touches on “Which Way I’ll Go,” the heavier electronic parts, especially on the overwrought “Lights,” usually feel out of place. The piano on “Rain” is a better accompaniment to Epperson’s wistful, emotionfilled songwriting about the winding path of the life. Where Hourglass shines is when Epperson accomplishes more with less. April 8, self-released, RichardTylerEpperson.com

Somewhere in the depths of your nightmares, there’s a hellscape of only dust and ashes, where the resident band is Laughter. The latest album from the doom-metal trio begins with deceptive stillness on “Intro,” which succeeds in hinting at the tension to come, with droning, shapeless tones lurking in the background like gathering storm clouds.

But suddenly, all the fury of the gods is unleashed on “In Finite,” an ear-scorcher that pummels with relentless guitar by vocalist Andrew Drechsel and drums by Zach Hatsis and also gets some surprising creepiness through use of vibraphone. Ain Soph Aur has numerous high points, but the killer psychrock feel of “Black Eyes” stands out considerably, with howling vocals floating hauntingly over a badass drumbeat. “Frozen” makes for a fascinating listen as it jumps from sludgy metal to heavy rock and back again, with the guitar chords repeatedly zigzagging up to a peak only to drop back down. “Protagonist”—which is epic not just because of its eight-minute length— draws the album to a satisfying close. March 12, Belief Mower Records, LaughterAinSoph. bandcamp.com

This indie electro-pop trio from Scotland draw inspiration from their shared love for ’80s music icons, and aims to produce “pop lyrics with meaning,” according to Pitchfork. Their cited influences, like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Depeche Mode, are easily detected in the splashy anthem “The Mother We Share,” off debut album The Bones of What You Believe— released in September 2013.

And lead vocalist Lauren Mayberry produces pop lyrics with depth, as in the multilayered track “Recover”: “And if I recover, will you be my comfort/ Honest in every way I know, you appear to face a decision you fear.” (Deann Armes) Tuesday, April 22 @ The Depot, 400 W.

Fortunate Youth Hitting No. 1 on the Billboard and iTunes reggae charts in 2013 with their second album, It’s All a Jam, Los Angeles five-piece Fortunate Youth brings passion and true talent to their island grooves. It’s All a Jam emphasizes friendship and the harmonizing power of herb with lyrics like “Peace love and unity/ You know it’s in my ganja tree/ So come smoke with me,” from the song “Peace Love & Unity.” Heavy on drumbeats, bass and keys, it’s impossible to keep your head from knockin’ to this easygoing music. Also impossible is tearing your eyes from the band members’ expressive faces as they perform, their tongues sticking out on occasion. True Press is also on the bill.

makes every day new and exciting.”

The original Alchemy Coffee location on 390 East 1700 South opened its doors in February 2006. In December 2013, it opened a second location near Capitol Hill, sharing space with Em’s Restaurant on Center Street at 271 North. The idea of sharing space with Em’s seemed like a natural fit for Alchemy Coffee’s vibe.

“We wanted to create a warm, inviting specialty coffee bar that blended well with the ambiance of Em’s,” Banning says. “The play between the two businesses has been a lot of fun.”

With the addition of the second location, the residents of the Capitol Hill neighborhood have a charming, locally owned coffee shop option that focuses on small batch, high-quality ingredients. “Local business support is the crux of our purchasing and business decisions,” explains Banning. “At the end of the day, communities support communities.”

Alchemy Coffee at 1700 South is open Monday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sundays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Alchemy Capitol Hill is open every day from 6:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information about Alchemy Coffee, visit them on the web at http://www.alchemycoffee. com. n

This is The Place

There’s nothing quite like a neighborhood coffee shop. Those lucky enough to live or work near an Alchemy Coffee location know just how special their local coffee shop is. Alchemy Coffee, with two locations, has a wide variety of offerings for a coffee shop, including an abundance of organic, vegan, and gluten-free soup, salad and sandwich options at the flagship location.

“Almost everything at Alchemy is purchased locally or made in-house,” explains Jason Briggs, president of Alchemy Coffee Co. “All espressos and most coffees are organic and locally roasted several times a week.”

All syrups and sauces are made inhouse and are gluten-free and vegan. Both locations also carry this season’s fresh crop of 100 percent Hawaiian Puna region coffees, sold both by the cup and the pound.

“My favorite aspect of working at Alchemy is community,” says Briggs. “I consider it a success if I can give a neighborhood a place to gather, socialize, and partake of quality local products.”

Ivan Banning, owner of the Capitol Hill location, agrees. “My favorite part is Alchemy’s ability to be a nexus for artists, crafters, tinkerers, and entrepreneurs,” says Banning. “The space becomes a convergence of information and ideas, which

 The guy I have been a slave to the last few years thinks he is the only one I served. Little does he know, I was banging a ton of foxy men.

Including a few people he knows!! Take that jerk.  I created a fake profile to keep tabs on my ex for child support tracking services... don’t feel guilty about it at all.  I’m In love with a hipster, even though I can’t stand them. What’s wrong with wanting a Porsche, a real job, listening to top 40, drinking Starbucks, paying for real beer and shaving?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Karma works both ways. If you do ignorant things, ignorant things may eventually be done to you. Engage in generous actions, and at some future date you may be the unexpected beneficiary of generosity. I’m expecting more of the latter than the former for you in the coming days, Libra. I think fate will bring you sweet compensations for your enlightened behavior in the past. I’m reminded of the fairy tale in which a peasant girl goes out of her way to be kind to a seemingly feeble, disabled old woman. The crone turns out to be a good witch who rewards the girl with a bag of gold. But as I hinted, there could also TAURUS (April 20-May 20) be a bit of that other kind of karma lurking in your vicinity. Would you “Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe,” like to ward it off? All you have to do is unleash a flurry of good deeds. said novelist John Updike. That’s a sad possibility. Could you Anytime you have a chance to help people in need, do it. please do something to dispute or override it, Taurus? Would it be too much to ask if I encouraged you to go out in quest SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) of lyrical miracles that fill you with wonder? Can I persuade As they lie in the sand, African crocodiles are in the habit of you to be alert for sweet mysteries that provoke dizzying joy opening their jaws wide for hours at a time. It keeps them cool, and uncanny breakthroughs that heal a wound you’ve feared and allows for birds called plovers to stop by and pluck morsels of might forever plague you? Here’s what the astrological omens food that are stuck between the crocs’ molars. The relationship suggest: Phenomena that stir reverence and awe are far more is symbiotic. The teeth-cleaners eat for free as they provide likely than usual. a service for the large reptiles. As I analyze your astrological aspects, Scorpio, I’m inclined to see an opportunity coming GEMINI (May 21-June 20) your way that has a certain resemblance to the plovers’. Can you I wonder if it’s time for you to modify an old standby. I’m getting summon the necessary trust and courage to take full advantage? the sense that you should consider tinkering with a familiar resource that has served you pretty well. Why? This resource SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) may have some hidden weakness that you need to attend to in Are you sure you have enough obstacles? I’m afraid you’re running order to prevent a future disruption. Now might be one of those low. And that wouldn’t be healthy, would it? Obstacles keep you rare occasions when you should ignore the old rule “If it ain’t honest, after all. They motivate you to get smarter. They compel broke, don’t fix it.” So be proactive, Gemini. Investigate what’s you to grow your willpower and develop more courage. Please going on beneath the surface. Make this your motto: “I will solve understand that I’m not talking about trivial and boring obstacles the problem before it’s a problem—and then it will never be a that make you numb. I’m referring to scintillating obstacles problem.” that fire up your imagination; rousing obstacles that excite your determination to be who you want and get what you want. So your CANCER (June 21-July 22) assignment is to acquire at least one new interesting obstacle. It’s “Do you really have what it takes or do you not have what it time to tap into a deeper strain of your ingenuity. takes?” That’s the wrong question to ask, in my opinion. You can’t possibly know the answer ahead of time, for one thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) To dwell on that quandary would put you on the defensive and In 1937, physicist George Paget Thomson won a Nobel Prize for activate your fear, diminishing your power to accomplish the the work he did to prove that the electron is a wave. That’s funny, task at hand. Here’s a more useful inquiry: “Do you want it because his father, physicist J. J. Thomson, was awarded the Nobel strongly enough or do you not want it strongly enough?” With Prize in 1906 for showing that the electron is a particle. Together, this as your meditation, you might be inspired to do whatever’s they helped tell the whole story about the electron, which as we necessary to pump up your desire. And that is the single best now know is both a wave and a particle. I think it’s an excellent time thing you can do to ensure your ultimate success. for you to try something similar to what George did: Follow up on some theme from the life of one of your parents or mentors; be LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) inspired by what he or she did, but also go beyond it; build on a gift I swear my meditations are more dynamic when I hike along he or she gave the world, extending or expanding it. a trail through a marsh than if I’m pretzeled up in the lotus position back in my bedroom. Maybe I’ve been influenced by AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Aristotle’s Peripatetic School. He felt his students learned best You have been a pretty decent student lately, Aquarius. The when they accompanied him on long strolls. Then there was learning curve was steep, but you mastered it as well as could be philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who testified that his most expected. You had to pay more attention to the intricate details brilliant thoughts came to him as he rambled far and wide. Even than you liked, which was sometimes excruciating, but you if this possibility seems whimsical to you, Leo, I invite you to summoned the patience to tough it out. Congrats! Your againstgive it a try. According to my reading of the current astrological the-grain effort was worth it. You are definitely smarter now omens, your moving body is likely to generate bright ideas and than you were four weeks ago. But you are more wired, too. unexpected solutions and visions of future adventures.

More stressed. In the next chapter of your life story, you will need some downtime to integrate all you’ve absorbed. I suggest VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) you schedule some sessions in a sanctuary where you can relax Throughout North America and Europe, there are hundreds more deeply than you’ve allowed yourself to relax in a while. of unused roads. Many are former exit and entrance ramps to major highways, abandoned for one reason or another. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Some are stretches of pavement that used to be parts of main You have the power to shut what has been open or open what has thoroughfares before they were rerouted. I suggest we make been shut. That’s a lot of responsibility. Just because you have “unused roads” your metaphor of the week, Virgo. It may be the power to unleash these momentous actions doesn’t mean you time for you to bring some of them back into operation, and should rashly do so. Make sure your motivations are pure and your maybe even re-link them to the pathways they were originally integrity is high. Try to keep fear and egotism from influencing joined to. Are there any missing connections in your life that you you. Be aware that whatever you do will send out ripples for would love to restore? Any partial bridges you feel motivated to months to come. And when you are confident that you have taken finish building? the proper precautions, by all means proceed with vigor and rigor.

clarks auto & tIre y o u r h y b r I d g a r a g e I

f you enjoy going to an auto shop about as much as the dentist (because no matter what, there’s always something wrong), then you’ll be pleasantly surprised by Clark’s Auto and Tire, a family-owned, full-service auto repair shop that wouldn’t be out of place in Mr. Roger’s neighborhood because the people there all about community and making the world a better place.

Take owner Alan Boyer, for example. A former Peace Corps volunteer, current community council board member and local business sponsor, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone more civic-minded and environmentally conscious—but he’s dismissive of any praise. “It’s just how my wife and I have always done it; we’ve always been this way. We’re always on the lookout for how to make things more sustainable.”

It’s no secret that Clark’s, now in its 50th year of operation, lives and breathes green. Called “Your Green Garage” and E2 city-certified, the rooftop solar array, extensive recycling practices (everything from plastics and cardboard to batteries, aluminum, and steel are recycled), and use of environmentally friendly products (e.g., Eco Power motor oil, Khameleon coolant, etc.) makes Clark’s not only a green leader within the Salt Lake Valley, but also a bit of a rebel within the automotive industry at large.

And now, Boyer is raising his green practice to a whole new level by becoming Utah’s first independent shop for dedicated hybrid car service, having significantly invested in the necessary tools, equipment, and software to effectively make Clark’s a one-stopshop. “It used to be that you had to go the dealership to replace the battery because the tools and technology just weren’t available. Plus, many auto technicians are apprehensive about the high voltage and new technology,” Boyer explains. “I’ve been in the automotive industry all my life, and this is the largest shift in technology I’ve ever seen.”

Through a process called battery reconditioning, Clark’s capable staff first hooks up the car to a laptop, checking the health of each cell, then separates and charges them, replacing any that are faulty. Reconditioning isn’t currently practiced by dealerships (who merely replace the entire battery), even though it keeps batteries out of landfills and is significantly cheaper for the customer. “Where dealerships charge anywhere from $2,5004,500 for an average installation, our process only costs $1,200-1,800,” says Boyer. “Hybrids are infinitely repairable. There are hybrid taxis in San Francisco with over 500,000 miles still running, which is amazing. The longer you can keep a car on the road, the better.”

Boyer’s eyes light up when he recounts all the cool elements of hybrids, like regenerative braking, where the electric motor reverses and actually charges the battery, and how much better hybrids are for air quality and gas mileage. Practicing what he preaches, Boyer owns a third-generation Prius: “I recently drove down to Orem with five people, and got 52mpg.

It’s incredible.” He also likes to make a game of spotting all the Priuses that drive by his shop, counting over a dozen within a two-hour timeframe.

A true autodidact, Boyer taught himself and his staff everything there is to know about hybrids, helping keep Salt Lake on par with cities like San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle where green initiatives have been around for awhile. “The nice thing is that we get to learn from their challenges and do it better!” he laughs. To stay on top of emerging trends and best practices, Boyer and his staff regularly participate in training sessions—in June,

they’ll be going to Oregon.

Boyer admits that Clark’s avoids penalizing folks trying to make ecofriendly choices by absorbing extra green-related costs. And that philosophy extends to his shop as a whole: Clark’s is still run like a traditional service station, offering courtesy checks for oil and tire pressure. Even the waiting area, filled with magazines, toys for the kids, big comfy couches and free Wifi, suggests that helping the customer is a top priority. Says Bower, “We don’t sell you anything more or less than what you need.”

Clark’s will soon open a second location, a quick-service oil and lube station with emissions/safety testing, in Millcreek at 2755 East 3300 South.

In the meantime, Boyer encourages his patrons to share shop experiences on Yelp and other social media, and to stop by at the 506 East 1700 South location and say hello. Just look for the now-famous sunflower gear icon.

magine a long line of marginalized communities, stretched single file from the south doors of our state capitol down State Street. At the doors stand our elected officials. Each person in line is waiting for a chance to ask the elected officials for equality. Rather than hear the plight of their people, our elected officials throw stones at those in line, until they go home, wounded and weary, unsure if they can stand to fight another day.

The fight for LGBT rights is the fastest moving civil rights movement in American history. We’ve seen policy gains no one predicted and we’ve won legal battles no one thought possible. In our lifetime, we’ve seen the creation and dismantling of discriminatory laws aimed to diminish gay and trans people, like DOMA and D.A.D.T. Each time an attorney general or judge declares he or she won’t defend these discriminatory laws, we claim another victory in the name of civil rights. Even the opposition understands that not long from now, LGBT people will be equal in America. But each victory we claim in the name of civil rights is another measure of responsibility we have as a community and movement to help the next marginalized community that comes after us.

As a movement, we have to use the momentum that comes with each victory not only to advance our own issue, but also to seek equality for women and immigrants and the poor. Each time we pretend those issues aren’t our issues, we become like our opposition—negligent to the plight of our brothers and sisters.

Just as we use inspiration from the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s, decades from now, people will use this movement as an example of a dedicated fight to end discrimination. But it’s not just the example we must provide—we have to join those battles, too. That is the only way to make sure we truly win this fight. We are only a free society when all of our citizens live with equal protection under the law.

A perfect world is not a utopia without difference of opinion and free thought. A perfect world is one where we can exist together, mindful of our differences and encouraged by our shared goals. Imagine what we could accomplish if we stop standing in a single file line, waiting for our chance to ask for rights that should already be ours. n

iles of wine bottles, tin cans and used car tires are usually indications that hoarders and pack rats are in the neighborhood. In the movie Idiocracy, piles of trash are as tall as mountains and as far as the eye can see. In the past few decades, recyclers have discovered that much of our human refuse can be ground up, melted and remade into myriad items for a profit.

What we don’t often see are entire homes being built out of this modern-day detritus. There are “quartz” countertops made of crushed glass, ceiling insulation made of shredded jeans and different kinds of flooring made from trash.

This week the Earthship Conference with creator Michael Reynolds comes to the University of Utah for a one-day class to teach us how to build wonderfully creative and sustainable housing. I’m not talking about a lecture on how to “get a more efficient furnace and some better landscaping,” but a chance to meet a true visionary who’s making an impact on the planet one home at a time in a model he calls an “Earthship.”

I just got back from a listing appointment in South Jordan, and took Highway 111 to get there. I drove past so many clusters of ticky tacky stucco homes thrown together by certain builders that I thought, Certainly those boxes won’t last 30 years through our harsh elements and global warming! The Earthships have thick, thick walls and are built to use natural cross ventilation and thermal draughts to control indoor temperatures. Water that lands on the odd-shaped homes is collected and filtered for drinking and grey water is cleaned and reused. The building materials are often local, like adobe and tin cans from collection centers near the subdivision.

In Utah, we have the straw bale homes being promoted and built by the nonprofit, Community Rebuilds, which cost an average of $100,000. The cost of a three bedroom, two bath Earthship is around $350,000 depending on location. This all seems fitting since Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience is also this week. Futurists love seeing housing and lifestyle ideas go from idea to actual. Nothing better than seeing how people live on far away galaxies—except that some folks are doing it right here on Mother Earth. Earthship: April 19th,9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Post Theater, U of U.
