Letters Bundy Broke the Law

I swear I’m going to explode! I am incensed by the recent actions of right-wing cuckoos Cliven Bundy and our own homegrown commissioner from Southern Utah, Phil Lyman [“Land Justice,” May 22, City Weekly]. How can these two gentlemen stand themselves?

First, let’s look at Bundy, a cattle rancher from Nevada.

As a Utah boy raised by cattle ranchers, I have a unique insight into Bundy’s “plight.” Poor guy, jus’ try’n to scrape by and the big ol’ fedral guv’ment is forcing him broke.

Bundy does not own the land that fattens his cows every year. But for the federal government and the taxpayers of these great United States, he could not make it in his industry, period. All in all, he has it pretty good, even if he did pay his fees. Pennies on the head is what the guv’ment charges Bundy for grass all summer or winter. He doesn’t have to feed his cows: We do. Then he sells some for a nice profit and uses the ones left to make another herd. No wonder he can afford a nice new truck and those expensive hats.

Bundy, just think for a minute how things might work without that big bad federal guv’ment. There would be no dollars for your rural schools, public roads or food programs.

By the way, these publicly funded entities are where the bulk of rural jobs are. Only a few job opportunities exist on the ranch, and they go to people named or married to Bundy. Bundy would have no range land—it would all be owned by some person or mega corporation. Take just a few

Oh, and then let’s take the same look at Lyman. Most of the counties in Southern Utah—like Kane, Iron and San Juan—have so many ATV and Jeep routes that they can’t even use or upkeep them all, especially without federal dollars. Same story again: But for federal dollars and management of the lands around your community, all of the resources that you say would sustain your way of life would have been gobbled up decades ago. You, too, would be living in a city, making the minimum.

I find it doubtful that you are unaware of the impact federal dollars have on your community. Please don’t forget that the national parks bring money in the form of visitors to your part of the world, without which you would shrivel up and die. I say we take it back and spend it on health care. How about them apples?

To the feds: Arrest Cliven Bundy and his band of militiamen misfits. They are making a mockery of our laws and the very system set up to benefit Bundy and his contemporaries. At the least, they are inciting a riot. Confiscate Bundy’s cows and sell them so that I can recoup my money.

Bundy should not “enjoy” the use of my land for free.

Ticket Mr. Lyman and his friends and give them the good ol’ lifetime ban from using public lands.

Philosophical Faux Pas

Don’t wear white shoes before Easter. Check. Don’t wear velvet after Labor Day. Check. But isn’t it a bit early in the year’s philosophical fashion season for a purge?

The last purge occurred in September 1993, the infamous purge of intellectuals known as the September Six. The principles behind both rounds of excommunications seem to come from two things mentioned during past sessions of General Conference: 1. the address given several years ago by Boyd K. Packer that opened with “The enemies of the church are feminism, intellectualism and homosexuals,” and 2. the warning “When the Brethren have spoken, the thinking has been done.”

What is the next fashion trend? The address given by Dallin H. Oaks stating that the scientific theory of the origin of the universe called the Big Bang theory is preposterous leaves one thinking that perhaps a future question in the temple-recommend interview might be “Do you unqualifiedly believe that the earth is 6,000 years old and that creationism is the only true theory of our origin?”

OPINION

Come Together

The season of the reunion is upon us.

Lagoon is offering incentives to families of more than 25 to gather on its terrace.

Granite High School’s class of 1964 is planning a sock hop at a downtown hotel. A few Utahns are heading to St. Louis, where the VFW expects 10,000 guys to show up to its annual convention wearing embroidered hats piped in gold. And I am fresh from a reunion of Army pals whose friendship dates to a remote Ethiopian outpost during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie.

Summer enables reunions; it doesn’t catalyze them. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s day, April quickened the blood such that “longen folk to goon on pilgrimages” to shrines like Canterbury. June doesn’t bestir a similar longing in moderns to assemble in affinity groups for beer, burgers and banter. But you could say that the impetus for these get-togethers is in the marrow. Belonging to a group is a basic human need “felt along the heart,” in William Wordsworth’s words. Summertime simply provides the wherewithal—the long days, fair weather, vacation schedules and closed schools—for organizing a communal event.

A few years ago, I attended a Saturdaynight gathering of 150 erstwhile co-workers in Massachusetts. By the time the dessert was eaten, the PowerPoint concluded and the roving microphone silenced, the audience was grumbling. The lengthy program had consumed the time available to refresh memories and renew friendships. Everyone felt cheated. All we wanted to do was to sit and talk. We lingered as busboys cleared the dishes, but we left the restaurant with our nostalgia craving unsatisfied.

The reunion is nostalgia realized. By attending one, you yield to the nostalgic urge. Attendance acknowledges the fact that who you are is attributable in part to the shared experience of a particu-

lar community. A reunion provides the opportunity to patch the holes in that group’s collective memory—sometimes with bittersweet effect. I look forward to rehashing the events of the good old days, and I enjoy being reminded of the details I have forgotten.

I appreciate nostalgia’s benefits intuitively, but I am ambivalent about reunions.

I have never driven across town to socialize with my Highland High School class, but I have crisscrossed the country to attend reunions staged by this group or that association with which I have a history. Why one and not another? For a tangle of reasons: My high school days were mostly squandered, and I do not look back on them longingly. I didn’t play football or basketball, but I did play the viola in the orchestra. Joel Rosenberg, early on a gifted violinist, was the concertmaster.

Last year, I ran into him and shook his hand. “I don’t remember you,” he said.

Memories of high school are nurtured by some, suppressed by others. Lynda Smart Brown has been organizing our class reunion for 40 years.

Highland High’s class of 1963 included Rosenberg, Brown, me and 611 others.

Seventy-nine have died. In 2013, 170 put in an appearance at the 50th reunion dinner, down from the 242 who attended in 2003.

Brown says that it is mostly the same people who show up. A percentage of our classmates avoid the reunions. “High school was the most painful part of their lives, so they would never return to feel that pain again,” she says. Those who attend are partly nostalgic and partly interested in benchmarking themselves against their aging friends. “I think most people come to brag, share and see how everyone else is getting along,” she says.

Brown has got it about right. Truth be told, we are probably getting along thanks

to some combination of dental implants, Clairol, titanium joints and Viagra. And who hasn’t had to squint at smartphone photos of someone’s adorable kids? But sharing is the connective tissue between the past and the present. We cultivate shared memories because without them, the bond of friendship erodes like the meniscuses of a diehard jogger. Why else would we be drawn together periodically to laugh at the same stories over and over? Those selfsame friendships are the goal of the nostalgic impulse. Every time we hear a story beginning with “remember the time … ,” we are on our way to a better place.

One of my favorite writers, Roger Rosenblatt, has written a book called Rules for Aging. His most insightful rule is: “Live in the past but don’t remember too much.”

For people like me and Brown, the past has a certain allure.

The people and places there are welcoming, and we can navigate our own experiences like an avatar in the virtual world of Second Life. However, the past is not without quagmires. As Rosenblatt implies, you can get yourself as mired as Gatsby if you are not careful.

There is no one with whom I share recollections of Highland High School. I was too immature in the early 1960s to forge any lasting friendships. The exception was Gary B. Johnston, my 12th-grade English teacher. Our friendship, which was lifechanging for me, ended with his unexpected death in 1997. What high school memories I had were eclipsed by Ethiopia. The Horn of Africa was a long way from Utah in more ways than one. I arrived there with a college degree, a new wife and a lieutenant’s gold bar on my collar. By the time I left, I had enough memories and friends to sustain me for a lifetime. CW

My high school days were mostly squandered, and I do not look back on them longingly.

Have you gone to any reunions?

Scott Renshaw: I went to my 20-year high school reunion, for all the usual reasons: to see who had aged well (or poorly), and to see whether my personal success fared relatively well (or poorly).

And now there’s Facebook for all of that, so what’s the point anymore?

Rachel Piper: I ostensibly have a 10-year reunion next year, but I haven’t heard anything about it. I’m on the fence; I can get a mini-reunion with random former classmates any time I want by going to the Layton Hills Mall. I can’t imagine that a dry picnic on the football field would be any less awkward than trying to make conversation while standing in line at Orange Julius.

John Saltas: They get better as you get older and people just settle in to what they are without pretense. On the other hand, having a grandmother classmate at our 15-year reunion was weird.

Susan Kruithof: I have attended my 10th, 20th and 25th high school reunions. It’s nice just chilling with people who share a common experience, even though each experience can be vastly different.

I also love that as time passes, no one gives a crap about the peer groups we were pigeonholed into. We just enjoy getting to know the people we have become. Bring on No. 30!

Jeff Reese: I went to my five-year high school reunion and found it unsatisfying. I have stayed in touch with the people I wanted to stay in touch with, so there really wasn’t much of a point to it. I skipped the 10-year.

Paula Saltas: No, because now, thanks to Facebook, people can see pictures of my adorable children and the fantastic trips I go on and know what bars I frequent, and I don’t have to attend my reunions and talk to people I don’t want to talk with.

Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker likes the rep the city has for trying to clean the air. Now comes a letter from the mayor asking “friends and colleagues” to join him as the city celebrates “a trio of landmark solar projects.” Realtor and activist Babs De Lay had sent out an invitation for the celebration of a solar project in the Marmalade district two weeks before, and she was not impressed by Becker’s invitation: “So not one person from the City (out of 50+ invitees) could show up one afternoon to see the city’s first solar home project that the city endorsed. So now I get this e-mail from the mayor’s office about the three ‘landmark’ solar projects. Um, Mayor Ralphie and Co ... there are four projects. Who’s giving you money to get their projects noticed?” The mayor’s letter didn’t even include a time or place to meet.

Web Speak Speaking of letters, the city might want to reconsider some of its online verbiage.

In its SLC Green section, the city touts its Project Skyline and Sustainable City Dashboard. Project Skyline is supposed to encourage energy efficiency in buildings, although the first thing you read is how “business leaders, clean-air advocates, and health-care professionals joined Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker and U.S. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to announce the launch of Project Skyline.” Then there’s the Sustainable City Dashboard, which apparently seeks input for the city’s effort (“apparently” because the city says it “features over 100 different metrics from 12 core areas of livability,” whatever that means). There were only five comments on the energy blog, and the city discouraged the one who suggested getting rid of plastic bags.

Cops & Dogs People really don’t like animals being shot and killed.

That was the message from the hundreds who rallied to protest the death of Geist, the dog killed by a police officer who says the 2-year-old Weimaraner was aggressive when the officer entered a backyard in search of a missing child. Police Chief Chris Burbank was righteously indignant in a press conference to defend the officer. No, people should not be writing hate letters and sending death threats to the officer—or anyone. That was something to be indignant about. But the Humane Society of Utah is right in asking whether the department has proper training to deal with such situations. It has also offered help in training with non-lethal alternatives.

FIVE SPOT

Alexx Goeller returned home to Cottonwood Heights in May after working in Senegal for two years with the Peace Corps, focusing on economic development. Goeller, now 25 and working for the United Way of Salt Lake, wrote at TheDoubleXFiles.blogspot.com about her service, from the profound experiences to the hardships and everything in between—including the discovery that it’s considered very strange to cry in public. Read more at CityWeekly.net.

Why did you join the Peace Corps?

I’d wanted to go since I was really young—probably 12. I grew up very privileged and I had a wonderful childhood, and I always wanted to reach out to people who hadn’t had the same childhood. I did a lot of service work, even when I was growing up. And then the Peace Corps seemed like the next step after college. A huge part of Peace Corps is going and creating jobs, but it’s also to show a better side of Americans, and to get people to see that we do care about other countries and other cultures and religions. I really do want world peace—I really do think it’s important, and something that’s somewhat achievable by people willing to get outside of their comfort box and out into the world, learn a language, put themselves in uncomfortable situations and talk to people.

What’s it been like to adjust to life in Utah again?

Honestly, I think it’s harder than it was for me to go to Senegal. Going there, I was nervous and scared, but I was so excited, and I was doing something I’d always wanted to do. And coming home, things are so different here. I’d gotten so used to that way of life. I’ve noticed that when people ask me about the experience, the main question is, “How was Africa?” And it’s like, “Well, Senegal, the country I lived in, was interesting, but I can’t exactly put a label on the continent.” I get it; it’s like this mysterious land to people. But that was such a significant thing for me—it may have been the most seminal experience of my life—and people are just saying four words: “So how was Africa?” I’m supposed to just say, “It was good,” because as soon as I go past that, their eyes just glaze over, and then it’s on to whatever’s going on in Kim Kardashian’s life or whatever; stuff I just can’t relate to right now.

Did the Peace Corps change the plans you had for yourself?

I always thought I’d get my degree, do the Peace Corps and then get my master’s degree in international development and then work in USAID. But being in Senegal made me realize I do not want to work in development at all, especially at the grassroots level. It is so hard to push our sense of development on people. A lot of the people I dealt with were already happy—they were as developed as they wanted to be. It’s a difficult field, and super frustrating. But my work in Senegal with young girls and at-risk youth is something I’m really interested in, so I’d love to work with a nonprofit dealing with youth or youth development, or human rights. Peace Corps did shape that, because I didn’t realize how much I like working with kids.

What are your thoughts on development?

When I lived in the village, they had wells, and they carried the water on their heads.

That was what they did, and it was reliable, and it was what they were used to. When I was in the city, they had faucets, but sometimes the water would cut out, or it was dirty, and that to me was like the perfect illustration of “development”—they have these faucets that don’t work, and the people in the village have wells that are perfectly reliable.

But then there are areas that really need to be developed, and even they are starting to recognize that—like women’s empowerment, and getting women in the government and more educated. Even some of the men are starting to come around to that. That’s the area of development I’d like to work in—not so much the material things.

STRAIGHT DOPE Frosty Flatus

BY CECIL ADAMS

In the midst of a below-zero cold spell, my significant other and I were discussing the sources of humidity in our home that resulted in frost on the windows. He said breath. I said farts were also a factor. He said I was crazy.

I’m not saying the two contribute equally, but come on. Cecil, how much moisture is in each of these forms of bodily exhalation?

—Barbara Becker OK, so maybe I should have held this question till January rather than answering it in July. But some things just can’t wait. The answer proved more challenging than you might think.

Human flatus is made up primarily of carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, methane and hydrogen, with small but often pungent quantities of hydrogen sulfide and other organic compounds in addition.

The volume of flatus varies widely based on diet, how much air you swallow, and how efficiently your gut bacteria digest what you eat and produce gas.

However, while we found many studies detailing the chemical composition of flatulence, none gave a value for water vapor.

Sometimes this was due to how the flatus was collected: Bubbling the gas into a flask of displacement solution inevitably means altering its moisture content. No matter— we have other resources. I called in my assistant Una, professional engineer.

I asked Una to calculate the maximum quantity of water vapor contained in a fart.

She gave me the look she always gives me.

I said what I always say: “It’s for science.”

How she does that thing with her eyebrows only she and Jack Black know. Nonetheless, she bent to her spreadsheets and prepared the following analysis: 1. The amount of flatus produced daily can be more than 4 liters, but typically it’s around 0.4 liters per day.

2. We’ll assume that, given how moist we are inside (more on this below), any expelled gases contain water vapor at close to 100 percent relative humidity.

Calculating the water fraction and multiplying the result times two people, we arrive at a total moisture output of about .04 milliliters per day.

3. That’s not much. Assuming an average-size dwelling, well sealed off from the winter air and heated to 70 degrees Fahrenheit with a starting relative humidity of 35 percent, a day’s total flatus from two people will theoretically raise that humidity to 35.001 percent.

4. But flatulence accounts for only part of the human contribution to ambient water vapor. Our bodies are made up of 50 to 70 percent water, of which 5 to 10 percent is cycled through us every day. A significant amount of water is lost through breathing and “insensible sweating”—that is, the constant lowlevel perspiration you don’t notice. A typical sedentary adult loses about 300 milliliters of water per day through breath and 1,175 milliliters per day via insensible sweating, or close to a liter and a half all told.

SLUG SIGNORINO

5. Exhaling only through your nose reduces moisture loss by more than 40 percent, but let’s assume our two test subjects are mouth-breathing adults who spend the entire day in their house. The total daily water contribution from their breath and sweat will be about 3 liters per day—about 75,000 times that produced by flatulence.

Assuming the house is completely sealed, this will increase the relative humidity from 35 percent to almost 70 percent. So it’s fair to say that, while flatulence makes no appreciable difference, breath plus sweat contributes significantly to the frost on your windows.

6. Pets also contribute to indoor humidity. Cats and dogs don’t sweat as much as we do; most of their water loss other than through excretion comes from breathing and (in dogs) panting. A typical indoor cat might lose 45 milliliters of water per day through respiration and minor sweating, whereas a Labrador retriever might lose 360 milliliters through breathing, panting and other sweating.

7. Therefore, a cat will raise the average home’s humidity to 35.4 percent—one cat going about its business is a far bigger factor than two people farting. A large dog in that same situation will increase the relative humidity of the house to more than 39 percent.

8. If we assume a household consisting of two people, a dog and a cat in a sealed home, then the inhabitants’ total contribution to indoor humidity is about 3.4 liters (close to a gallon, for you rustics). This would increase the relative humidity of the house from the baseline 35 percent to more than 75 percent. The contribution of flatus is negligible. I don’t know that that means you’re crazy, but with respect to farts being a factor in winter frost accumulation, you’re indisputably wrong.

Keep in mind that, in reality, houses leak a fair amount of moisture, and every time you open the door results in an exchange of air, so the practical impact of all that exhaled water is much reduced.

Remember also that I don’t know your partner. If he’s a member of the 4-liter club, flatuswise, all bets are off.

Bobbie Widdison’s defense attorney

By Stephen Dark sdark@cityweekly.net @stephenpdark For the past three years, Bobbie Dawn Widdison and her family have been planning for her eventual release from the Utah State Prison, after the Utah Board of Pardons & Parole decided in 2011 that Widdison had taken sufficient responsibility for the 1996 killing of her 9-month-old baby, Breanna, and merited parole in 2018.

But in late April 2014, following “new information” given to the parole board by Widdison’s former babysitter, the board scrubbed that date for a new one: May 18, 2113. The 41-year-old will die in prison.

“To give me that hope then take it away ... I don’t know how they expect me to be a human with that gone,” Widdison says.

In 1996, Widdison, 23, was already the mother of two little girls when she gave birth to Breanna, the result of a brief relationship with a man in Delta, Utah. According to court documents, she and her then-husband, Travis, became physically abusive to Breanna in her last weeks of life, resulting in a once happy, smiling baby suffering multiple fractures and injuries and becoming listless and mute. Officers summoned to Widdison’s residence found Travis giving mouth-to-mouth to a baby already stiffening with rigor mortis.

In the wake of the baby’s death, and in the 16 years since, questions have lingered over how Breanna died.

The Widdisons “either violently abused her 9-month-old baby to the point that she could not fight her respiratory infection and thereby causing her to die of pneumonia, or she outright suffocated the infant,” wrote an Adult Probation & Parole investigator in the 1998 pre-sentencing investigation report. In 2004, 2007 and 2011, parole hearing officers—who are also board members—asked Widdison to explain Breanna’s death. The 2011 board found she had taken enough responsibility to be given a release date.

But three years later, the board, whose members are appointed by the

Bobbie Widdison (right) was convicted in 1998 of the murder of her daughter Breanna (left).

Utah governor on a staggered basis, disagreed, drawing on statements by Widdison’s former babysitter—information Widdison’s attorney, former prosecutor Lorenzo Miller, termed “unsubstantiated allegations” in a motion recently filed in 3rd District Court.

Miller says that while some might, in light of Widdison’s crime, agree with the board’s most recent decision, “I don’t think anybody would agree that the parole board should give a date, give an expectation that if she worked hard, did what she was told to do, she would be released, only to take it away from her just as she was getting close to paroling.”

Miller says Utah’s sentencing matrix guidelines indicate that Widdison should serve 87 months for her type of crime, but the board gave her 20 years.

In his motion, Miller says that the board singled her out for harsher treatment than other offenders incarcerated for similar crimes, that it had violated her constitutional rights and subjected her to cruel and unusual punishment by giving her a parole date and then taking it back three years later.

The parole board’s administrator, Greg Johnson, in response to e-mailed questions, says that parole dates “are tentative and may be changed at any time prior to release, including decisions to reduce previous release dates.”

Former Millard County Attorney Dexter Anderson, who prosecuted

Widdison for Breanna’s death, says he doesn’t agree with the new sentence. “It was a terrible case, but I don’t think she deserves to stay in there her whole life.

It wasn’t intentional murder. She didn’t intend the baby to die, that I remember.

She’s paid about all she can pay.”

At the heart of the parole board’s frustrations with Widdison lies her inability—or her refusal, as board vice chair and former Salt Lake County prosecutor Angela Micklos sees it, according to the audio of parole hearings that City Weekly requested from the board—to articulate exactly how baby Breanna died.

“How many times do I have to do it?”

Widdison asks. She argues that “taking responsibility involves a lot more than saying words out of your mouth,” that

it’s about actions, about how she has lived her life in prison for the last 15 years: gaining an education, performing community service and teaching other inmates life skills so they can be eligible for parole.

Widdison’s case generated heated emotions in Millard County in the runup to the 1998 trial. She rejected a plea deal, was convicted of murder, and sentenced to five to life, along with two terms of one to 15 years for child abuse.

The baby’s injuries and Widdison’s failure to portray remorse were such that, the parole investigator wrote, he recommended that the board “expire all of her sentences,” meaning she spend her life in prison. “Every effort should be made to assume Bobbie Widdison will not harm another human being.”

request to the board was granted, according to a letter from the Department of Public Safety that City Weekly requested from Millard County Justice Court.

“She gets a pardon, my client gets a life sentence,” Miller says.

The parole board’s Johnson says Finlinson “was not offered anything” in exchange for her testimony at the rescission hearing.

Prior to the rescission hearing, the board had informed Widdison that its focus would be Finlinson’s statements, but, according to audio from the hearing, rather than ask about what Finlinson had said, Micklos wanted a detailed accounting of Breanna’s last weeks.

A shocked Widdison protested to Micklos that “I had no idea what I was walking into,” but Micklos said she needed to explain, in detail, her daughter’s murder.

“I think you know exactly what you did to [Breanna],” Micklos said. “And understandably it’s hard to talk about.” The board would have to decide what impact the “new information” would have on what Micklos termed her “tentative” parole date.

Micklos held a second, seven-minute hearing “to ensure that Ms. Widdison had ample time to respond to the information and the testimony given at the February hearing,” the board’s Johnson wrote in an e-mail to City Weekly.

Micklos wanted to revisit allegations previously raised in Widdison’s legal battles, namely that she had abused one of her other daughters 18 years ago. But Widdison’s answers left Micklos dissatisfied, and she repeatedly mocked the inmate’s responses.

According to Micklos’ reading of trial documentation, she said, “you basically tortured Breanna.” As far as Micklos was concerned, “I can’t see us ever releasing you until there’s some acknowledgment on your part of what you did.”

Three weeks later, Widdison was told she was in for life.

“My personal belief is they did not like the decision of the prior board, and so they changed it without justification or cause,” Miller says. “There is absolutely nothing new in her case from the time she was given a parole date to the time they took it away. And the information they relied on was available to the prosecutor, sentencing judge and anybody who looked into it, including the board.”

Widdison says she’s done all she can “to try and show I am remorseful and make myself to be rehabilitated. I don’t know what they are looking for in remorse—to be belligerent, to be so shamefaced you can’t look at anyone?”

Her remorse, she says, “is not something that anybody could ever understand,” let alone explain in sound bites before an antagonistic hearing officer. “It’s too overwhelming to think of somebody you loved more than anything else in the world whose life is gone because of your choices and actions. I live with that every day.” CW

At her first parole hearing in May 2004, the hearing officer said that Widdison had minimized her responsibility for her daughter’s death. Three years later, Widdison told Clark Harms—then a parole hearing officer and now the chair of the board—that it had taken her much time and self-reflection to “realize I was responsible ultimately for [Breanna’s] death,” but Harms wrote in notes quoted in a later hearing that he found her acknowledgments “half-hearted and disingenuous.”

Widdison came in front of the board a third time in 2011. By then, her unsuccessful legal battles through the appellate system to challenge her conviction had run their course.

In her 1998 trial, Widdison was also accused of abusing another of her daughters, Crysten, who was 4 years old at time of Breanna’s death and spoke at the 2011 parole hearing. “I believe she needs to take accountability for what she did and show remorse of some kind,” she said. “If this isn’t done, I believe that she should remain in prison.” Crysten still stands by that.

Breanna’s death “wasn’t intentional, but the injuries were,” she says.

Widdison told hearing officer Don Blanchard, “I didn’t care for [Breanna], I didn’t provide for her, I took advantage of her, I hurt her in ways that I can’t even begin to describe.

“I know that I caused these injuries,” she said, “or at least some of these injuries.”

Blanchard told her he felt she had made progress, and a few weeks later, Widdison learned she would be released in seven years. “I can tell my family there will be an end to this,” she thought at the time.

Two years later, in late 2013, Jodi Finlinson applied to the parole board for a pardon and to have multiple charges expunged from her record. When she was 14, Finlinson had babysat Widdison’s three little girls weeks before Breanna’s death, and later testified briefly at Widdison’s trial that the mother would treat Breanna “in a rough manner,” according to a court transcript.

During the expungement hearing, Finlinson said Widdison had introduced her to drugs and meth. The board asked her to speak at Widdison’s Feb. 18, 2014, rescission hearing—called to address issues surrounding a release date—so that the inmate could respond to Finlinson’s new information.

Finlinson said in Widdison’s February 2014 hearing that Widdison’s introduction to drugs and meth had resulted in Finlinson’s eventual addiction, which caused her to commit the crimes for which she was later charged.

Widdison denied Finlinson’s accusations, pointing out that Finlinson had not mentioned them either to investigating detectives or on the stand 16 years ago.

Hearing officer Micklos was unimpressed. “I don’t see any reason for her to fabricate,” she said.

Though many people first heard of Recapture Canyon in the context of the ATV ride, it has figured into the lives of area residents for about 2,000 years.

A tributary of the San Juan River, the canyon runs north to south and roughly parallels U.S. Highway 191. It’s mostly invisible beneath the flat expanse of land that stretches eastward to the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and south into the towers and mesas of the Navajo Nation and the Four Corners region. Relatively shallow by canyon-country standards, the bottom is well-watered and heavily vegetated.

Sandstone cliffs house numerous dwellings, remnants of ancient Puebloan culture.

The canyon has served as a natural thoroughfare for Native Americans, early white settlers, sheepherders, cattleman, prospectors and outlaws. Phil Lyman’s grandfather,

LOUD VOICES

hat had started as a local protest in a small town had quickly grown, attracting a number of outside supporters and conservative militant groups, some of them fresh from Bunkerville, Nev., where they had just engaged in an armed standoff with the Bureau of Land Management in defense of Cliven Bundy, the now-famous rancher who, for the past 20 years, has refused to pay fees for grazing on public lands.

Among the 300 or so people assembled in Centennial Park was Cliven Bundy’s son Ryan, who addressed the crowd while waving a pocket Constitution, which, he said, guarantees states’ rights over the federal government’s. He later passed out autographed copies.

Others in attendance included armed members of the Montana Militia, the Citizens Action Network (CAN) and the Save America Foundation (SAF). The SAF had posted an “urgent call to all patriots” on its website, with a message from Cliven Bundy’s wife, Carol: “Please make the trip to Blanding. We need to keep sending the message loud and clear wherever the BLM is illegally asserting its power.”

The flag-waving, fiercely patriotic members of SAF and CAN claim the U.S. Constitution as their sole guiding force. In spite of their patriotism, they have a strong distrust of the federal government, which, they say, does not follow the Constitution.

For them, San Juan County is another front in the larger war against the federal government, and they were at the rally that day to lend their strength.

But it wasn’t really their fight. The issues in Southern Utah stretch further and run deeper than being simply the latest headline-grabbing example of anti-federal feelings in the West. San Juan County commissioner Phil Lyman had organized the rally as

a lead-up to an illegal ATV ride into a closed section of the archaeologically rich Recapture Canyon. Lyman says the event was a protest against an “overreaching federal government,” but it was also just the latest skirmish in a long, bitter battle over Utah’s land.

Phil Lyman and many other San Juan County residents are descendants of the Hole in the Rock pioneers, who in 1879 staged an impossible journey through the rugged heart of Southern Utah to settle the town of Bluff along the banks of the San Juan River. Fiercely independent and loyal to none but the leadership of the LDS Church, they laid claim to this remote chunk of land, and they and their descendants have resisted outside influence, particularly from the federal government, ever since.

The majority of land in Utah falls under the public domain. Nearly 70 percent— more than 35 million acres—is federally managed, and most of this falls under the jurisdiction of the BLM. Other federally managed lands include national forests, parks and monuments. In San Juan County, the ratio of federally managed lands, including Recapture Canyon, approaches 90 percent.

Surrounded by hundreds of square miles of federally managed public land, many rural residents have been frustrated for generations by what they believe is excessive—even unconstitutional—federal control over public land, and are bent on wresting control from the feds and putting it into the hands of state and local governments.

And the battle looks to only be increasing in intensity, as a recent oil boom in Southern Utah near Moab has some fearing for the unique red-rock landscape and others saying “drill, drill, drill.”

At a May 10 rally in Centennial Park in the Southern Utah town of Blanding, Steve Curry—a Vietnam veteran from Montrose, Colo.—took to the podium on behalf of the Citizens Action Network.

COURTESY RAY TIBBETTS

Grand County commissioner Ray Tibbetts at a 1979 protest against BLM road closures Walter Lyman, discovered the town site for Blanding by riding up through Recapture Canyon from Bluff.

Whether Recapture Canyon was ever actually officially open to motor vehicles remains unclear. San Juan County’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) maps, which document every road, two track and trail in the county, don’t show a motorized route through Recapture Canyon. A service road for a pipeline from the Recapture Dam project goes down into the canyon approximately two miles. After that, it turns into a vague trail that has been in use since ancient times.

Shortly after the road becomes a trail, cliff dwellings and other archaeological sites are abundant.

The BLM closed the canyon seven years ago after members of the environmental group Great Old Broads for Wilderness alerted the federal agency to destruction in the canyon.

Members of the group—which was started in 1989 by older “lady hikers who wanted to refute Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch’s notion that wilderness is inaccessible to elders,” according to its website, and has now expanded to a national group made up of women and men— documented damage, including excavation done with picks and shovels, and took it to the BLM in 2006.

The BLM determined that the canyon’s archaeological resources, including ancient burial grounds and the Puebloan ruins, were being damaged by off-road vehicle use and the construction of an illegal trail, an act for which two men pleaded guilty in court. A BLM damage assessment said the constructed route crossed through numerous cultural sites and also noted evidence of recent “pothunting”—excavations made for the purpose of looting ancient artifacts—at the Recapture Great

House site. Cost for restoration was estimated to be $300,000.

In 2007, the BLM initiated an emergency closure of the canyon, which was not to be lifted until damage was repaired or mitigated. Though the closure had the support of then-county commissioner Lynn Stevens, Lyman says the BLM illegally closed an existing route in violation of the Federal Land Policy & Management Act. The BLM used the Code of Federal Regulations to perform a temporary closure under the premise that new trail construction was damaging archeology.

The code states that “A closure or restriction order should be considered only after other management strategies and alternatives have been explored including cooperative efforts with local governments and organizations,” and that “temporary closures or restrictions must be 24 months or less in duration.”

That’s the part that really irks Lyman. He says the county has been working with the BLM for years to designate a suitable route through Recapture Canyon.

Talks with the BLM started in 2005, he says, and in 2006, the county filed an application for a Title V Right of Way (ROW).

“Not to gain access,” he says. “We already had it. But to secure it for the community who had determined to start promoting the trail.”

Lyman says that the BLM condoned trail maintenance on the project, and it was the ROW process that prompted them to start taking input from outside sources.

“The BLM had every opportunity to remedy their concerns with reroutes or signage, yet they ignored the local interests in favor of loud voices from external environmental groups, like the Great Old Broads for Wilderness,” he says.

Lyman is by no means the only person who’s not a fan of the Great Old Broads.

In 2010, signs surfaced in and around the canyon that said, “Wanted, Dead or Alive, Great Old Broads for Wilderness,” with an image of a skull and crossbones. And members of the group say that in 2012, at one of their biannual campouts held on private land owned by the nature conservancy, they awoke to find themselves padlocked in the compound.

A hag mask, drenched in fake blood, was hanging on the fence, with an attached note that read, “Stay out of San Juan County. No last chance.”

Rose Chilcoat, associate director of Great Old Broads, says they and other environmental-activist groups had planned on attending the protest ride at Recapture Canyon—some as observers, and some as counter-protestors. But when word got out that armed militia were going to be present, they called it off.

“In my mind, threatening law enforcement officers isn’t civil disobedience, it’s anarchy, and these guys are domestic terrorists,” Chilcoat says.

Lyman doesn’t see it that way. He’s proud of the tradition San Juan County commissioners have established in standing up against the BLM, most notably commissioner Calvin Black, who was immortalized as the fictional character Bishop Love in Edward Abbey’s seminal novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, published in 1975.

In Abbey’s book, a band of nature-loving misfits decide to fight back against the destruction of wilderness by engaging in various forms of ecosabotage. The story takes place almost entirely in

San Juan County, and Bishop Love, a developer who pushes industrialization, mining, and building roads, is the monkey-wrenchers’ arch nemesis.

The real-life Black also embodied those principles, and he took an aggressive stance against anyone, in particular the BLM, who advocated for wilderness, road closures, or any sort of protective designation of the public lands within San Juan County. Minutes from a 1979 open house hosted by the BLM on the topic of wilderness designation show an openly hostile Black.

“We’ve had enough of you guys telling us what to do,” Black is quoted as saying. “I’m not a violent man, but I’m getting to the point where I’ll blow up bridges, ruins, and vehicles. We’re going to start a revolution.

We’re going to get back our lands. You better watch your vehicles. You had better start going out in twos and threes, because we’re going to take care of you BLMers.”

When the BLM employee giving the presentation asked if Black was threatening him, Black responded, “I’m not threatening you, I’m promising you.”

BOOM OR BUST

In neighboring Grand County, home to the recreation capital of Moab, a recent boom in oil and gas has awakened the spirit of new Moab sagebrush rebels.

Open access and resource development are the guiding land-management principles of many longtime Southern Utah residents, which puts them at odds with environmentalists and others who believe in preserving Utah’s scenic landscape—for its own sake, and for the economic benefits from Utah’s tourism industry.

Ray Tibbetts, a resident of Moab since the early 1940s, is something of a folk hero to Moabites who resent the intrusion of the federal government. As a Grand County commissioner in the 1970s, Tibbetts helped organize a protest similar to Lyman’s.

The BLM, the 82-year-old says, “were trying to close a bunch of roads up on Sand Flats. So we got some people together and went up there to stage a protest.”

The protest ended with a bulldozer pushing a road into the upper fork of what is now known as Negro Bill Canyon.

“I sure wish I had been down there [in Recapture Canyon] with Phil,” Tibbetts says. “It’s important to make a stand.”

A staunch opponent of wilderness protection, Tibbetts was nevertheless involved in the creation of what is now Canyonlands National Park, and he recognizes the value of tourism to Grand County.

“But enough is enough,” he says. “We’ve got to be able to develop our resources. There’s a real good oil field up there on Big Flat between the two rivers, and we’ve got to see something come of it.”

Big Flat is an area on Island in the Sky Mesa, perched between the canyons of the Green and Colorado rivers. The southern end of Big Flat borders Canyonlands National Park. Visitors approaching Canyonlands, as well as Dead Horse Point State Park, now see a host of new oil wells springing up, as well as a recently constructed pipeline for natural gas.

Other plans for the area include a potash mine on the rim of Labyrinth Canyon above the Green River.

A coalition of citizens, businesses, environmental groups and the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) have proposed the creation of a Greater Canyonlands

ERIC TRENBEATH

National Monument. In a letter to President Obama, who could create such a monument by executive order under the Antiquities Act, the OIA wrote that the creation of a national monument is necessary because current federal-management plans “inappropriately open scenic and undeveloped land to drilling and mining and fail to address exploding off-road vehicle use that is damaging riparian areas, cultural sites, soils and solitude.”

Nothing makes a sagebrush rebel’s blood boil more than the threat of a national monument being created by executive order. They view this as the ultimate overreach of a federal government completely out of touch with locals’ needs.

Environmentalists, on the other hand, as well as those whose livelihoods depend on Moab’s recreation economy, see the creation of Greater Canyonlands National Monument as a way to protect a landscape that would otherwise be sold to the highest bidder. They say that extractive industries and resource development will bring only short-term economic gains followed by an inevitable bust.

And the landscape for which Utah is famous, which is also becoming an increasingly large portion of the state’s economy, will be forever marred.

plans that don’t encompass what a lot of the people in this community want,” she said.

She also expressed concern that none of the alternatives left out the controversial Book Cliffs road or retained the Antiquities Act. Chris Baird, former county councilman and current director of the Canyonlands Watershed Council, says that although Alternative 3 was ostensibly tilted toward the environmental community, it contained very little of the environmentalists’ actual wish list. Of specific concern to Baird was the lack of consideration for wilderness designation in the La Sal Mountains, or any protection for the Grand County watershed.

In addition to the controversial Book Cliffs road, and the exclusion of the Antiquities Act, Alternative 3 does not set aside enough land for wilderness protection to garner support from environmental groups. Another specific area of concern is a parcel of oil & gas leases adjacent to the eastern boundary of Arches National Park. If developed, oil & gas wells would be visible from many places in the park, including from the world-famous Delicate Arch.

Grand County is nothing if not polarized. Unlike in San Juan and other rural counties in Southern Utah, many Grand County residents favor stronger protection for the public land, making the fight closer to neighbor vs. neighbor than locals vs. feds.

In 2013, Utah Republican Congressman Rob Bishop launched the Utah Public Lands Initiative in hopes of bringing an end to the public-lands debate by striking a compromise between all interested parties. In the “bottomup” process, local communities and other interested stakeholders submit their recommendations for land-use designation. Bishop will then take the recommendations that have been hammered out by all stakeholders and package them into a bill that he will introduce to Congress.

The Grand County Council received 190 handwritten letters (e-mailed comments were not accepted) during the public-comment period. Ninety percent of the letters favored greater protection for the public lands in Grand County.

Three land-use maps were unveiled at an April 23 public meeting, which was attended by 350 people. The alternatives contained a range of land-use designations, with Alternative 1 leaving the most area open for resource development, and Alternative 3 setting aside larger areas for wilderness designation and National Recreation Areas. Alternative 2 sat in the middle.

All of the maps allowed for a controversial “energy corridor”—basically, a road—through the Book Cliffs to transport oil and gas to a proposed refinery near Green River. All of the alternatives also called for the repeal of the Antiquities Act, which gives the president the executive power to declare an area such as Greater Canyonlands as a protected national monument.

After the maps were explained, 47 people addressed the council: 25 in favor of greater protection for the land than was offered by any of the alternatives, 15 arguing for looser restrictions on development, and seven recommending striking a balance.

Tibbetts gave an impassioned speech in which he recommended that they “drill, drill, drill.”

Following that meeting, the council held another comment period, during which it received close to 300 letters, about equally divided between providing greater protection for the land and allowing more development.

A subsequent workshop was designed to incorporate public feedback and to hammer out a final recommendation from the three alternatives. But it soon became clear that they were still far from a decision that would be acceptable to all members of the council, let alone residents of the county.

Jim Nyland, a first-term council member and retired Grand County sheriff, made it clear at the beginning of the meeting that he’d made up his mind. “There is an element out there that wants to halt all resource development,” he said. “I am not going to support any more wilderness.”

Four other members of the seven-person council affirmed their opposition to any more wilderness designation or the expansion of any National Recreation Areas.

“We need to get the federal government out of here,” councilwoman Pat Holyoak said.

But councilwoman Elizabeth Tubbs said she couldn’t support any of the alternatives. “There is something wrong with this process when there are three

STAND FOR SOMETHING

During the May 10 Recapture Rally, as calls for violence against the BLM and environmental activists increased, Lyman began to reconsider his plan. He suggested making a presence, but staying on a legal route to avoid “conflict for the sake of conflict.”

But many of those who’d made the trip to Blanding insisted. “I came here to open a road,” Ryan Bundy said. “And if we aren’t going to do that, I’m going to get in my truck and go home.”

In the end, the ride continued as planned, though Lyman urged attendees to act responsibly.

The protesters encountered no opposition from law-enforcement officers or environmental activists.

Sheriff’s deputies on horseback stood by while 50 or so riders on ATVs entered the closed canyon.

Many of them greeted San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge as they rode past.

“We are here to keep the peace and protect everyone’s constitutional rights,” Eldredge said.

In a statement released immediately after the event, the BLM said they were in Recapture Canyon that day collecting evidence, and that they would pursue all available redress through the legal system to hold the lawbreakers accountable.

The Great Old Broads’ Chilcoat worries about a precedent being set. Environmental activists are often made examples of for their acts of civil disobedience, she says, citing Tim DeChristopher, who spent two years in prison for bidding on oil leases with no intention of paying for them.

“Why are [environmental activists] punished, when gun-toting militia men throwing tantrums get to go scott-free?” she asks.

Lynn Jackson, chairman of the Grand County Council, wouldn’t comment on whether Lyman should be prosecuted for violating federal law, but did say that county governments and residents need to deal with issues as they see fit.

“I believe this points to the frustration all of us have in dealing with the federal government,” Jackson says.

“And I’m definitely of the opinion that states, and local people, are better equipped to manage their lands.”

Environmentalists take the opposing view.

“The blatant disregard for federal laws and land management decisions designed to protect our cultural heritage must not go unpunished,”

says Liz Thomas of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA). “This event has been a good example of why state and local governments can’t be entrusted to manage public lands.”

She says that SUWA expects the BLM and the U.S. Attorney General’s Office to fully prosecute Lyman and others for the actions in Recapture Canyon.

SUWA’s executive director, Scott Groene, says that though states’-rights advocates get louder every time there is a Democrat in the White House, this round seems different.

“Politicians have pushed it to a feverish pitch,” he said. “There is the potential for a real tragedy.”

In a recent assertion of their rights, commissioners in Carbon and Iron Counties have passed resolutions declaring sovereign authority over federal lands within their borders, essentially nullifying the power of federal law-enforcement officers.

“Not to draw a line in the sand, so to speak, with federal agencies,” says Carbon County public-lands director Rex Sacco, “but to inform and define the county/state and federal jurisdictional boundaries by law.”

And the anti-federal feelings extend past Southern Utah. In 2014, Gov. Gary Herbert signed House Bill 148, which demands that federal lands within the state be turned over to the state by the end of 2014, though the state’s legal counsel recently said that this is essentially a fruitless undertaking.

Bishop’s Utah Public Lands Initiative outwardly avoids the issue of state vs. federal authority, but some see it as another avenue to gain greater control over the public lands.

San Juan County has, Lyman says, formed a public-lands advisory council made up of various stakeholders—including conservationists, Native Americans, cattle producers and mineral producers— to get a representative picture of the public-lands interests in San Juan County to pass along to Bishop.

“I am optimistic that we are on the right path,” Lyman says. “But at the end of the day, I will continue to extoll the benefits of local management and local shared resources.”

Will either side ever be able to claim a victory? For Groene, victory will come when SUWA has succeeded in “protecting the lands that citizens have identified as deserving of wilderness protection.”

When asked what would be a victory for him, sagebrush rebel Tibbetts pondered for a moment.

“Aw, hell, it’s all philosophical at this point,” he said. “If you don’t stand for something, you just fall over.” CW Eric Trenbeath is a Moab-based freelance writer who spends most of his time hiking, biking and boating the canyons of Southern Utah.

Lands Initiative both as a representative for the International Mountain Biking Association and the Outdoor Industry Association. She says that people come to Moab to see and recreate in a relatively untouched landscape, and that oil & gas development is threatening the area’s recreation economy.

“There is a huge economic value to land left in its natural state,” she says, citing Utah’s $6 billion tourist economy as proof.

The council held three more workshops in an attempt to hammer out a proposal that they can submit to Bishop, to no result. The majority of the council still supports the proposal that leaves the most area open to oil & gas development. But even if the council votes along with its majority, a plan that lacks broad support of community stakeholders is generally viewed to be doomed as part of Bishop’s larger package.

The council has tabled the discussion until mid-July.

When Utah loves a musical, it really loves it.

That much was clear when the Broadway smash Wicked made its first stop here as a touring production in 2009, and again during a 2012 return engagement. Performances quickly sold out; audience members took photos with the stage’s impressive dragon setpiece. It wasn’t just a theatrical production; for many of those who attended, it was an event.

That event is back in Utah, with the magical show adapted from Gregory Maguire’s novel by Winnie Holzman (book) and Stephen Schwartz (songs) returning to the freshly refurbished Capitol Theatre. Veteran fans and newcomers alike can share the story of two witches-intraining in the land of Oz—the spoiled, beautiful Galinda, and the scary-looking, introverted Elphaba—who become unlikely friends during their school days. But as often happens with friends, things come between them—perhaps a man, perhaps the way Oz’s talking animals are being treated. And there can be more than meets the eye behind why someone becomes known as “wicked.”

The spectacular, colorful production is a delight for younger viewers, and the grand themes of love, loss and friendship provide storytelling satisfaction to all ages. Above all, perhaps, there’s the soundtrack of instant-classic songs.

From “The Wizard and I” to “I’m Not That Girl” to “Popular,” they’re a combination of earworm catchiness and show-stopping energy. And when Elphaba floats above the stage for the first-act closer “Defying Gravity,” it’s easy to understand why Wicked can make an entire audience feel like it’s soaring, too.

Often it is when an artist is most unpredictable that the audience stops and pays closest attention. Modern West Fine Art is currently hosting an exhibition focused on recent art

by Lenka Konopasek, and those who know Konopasek’s work—which tends to deal with the collision of man and nature—might be surprised that she’s showing at a gallery that focuses on Southwestern art with a classically modern aesthetic.

The works in the show, curated by gallery manager Lauren DeHerrera, combine Konopasek’s familiar subjects of mass destruction with a less familiar theme of rodeo cowboys.

What might come of this unpredictable and unexpected pairing?

In the painting “Targeting,” all elements are rendered with a stylized ambiance. A vertical canvas emphasizes the structure of a town being consumed by flame and smoke as a tower of billowing blues, oranges and white fill the blackness of a sky. “It is a struggle of wills where human structures are being reclaimed and handicapped by nature’s might,” Konopasek says in her artist statement.

“Rodeo Picture Show” (pictured) is an image of a cowboy struggling to stay upon a raging bull. It’s more stylized for the sake of dramatic forcefulness, and features the same elements of surreal color surrounded by black. “I portray the rider as well as the animals in their struggle to overpower each other,” Konopasek says.

What resonates here is that in both subjects, man is played against nature—and in Konopasek’s work, the result is beautifully chaotic. (Ehren Clark) Lenka Konopasek @ Modern West Fine Art, 177 E. 200 South, 801-355-3383, through July 11, free. ModernWestFineArt.com

Like Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, Salt Lake City’s FantasyCon is set to begin with one helluva dwarf party. The kick-off event for the multi-day fantasy convention will feature eight dwarves, two hobbits and a wizard, who all journeyed from Tolkien’s Middle Earth to party together on one stage to the fine dance stylings of DJ Frodo—that is, DJ Elijah Wood.

Promoted as being one of the most interactive conventions on the market, FantasyCon not only provides amazing access to various guests from the world of fantasy movies, television and literature, but is also a great way for fans to soak in the culture via immersive experiences. There will be real movie sets and props that visitors are invited to explore, as well as a bunch of hands-on craft and demonstration opportunities. Or, if you feel up for the something even more interactive, there are live gaming and live-action role-playing opportunities galore.

Then there are panels and discussions on such wide-ranging topics as Iceland’s influence on the world of fantasy, how to make realistic cosplay outfits and making your personal fantasy a reality. If you like more debate-oriented panels, consider Disney Princesses vs. the female royalty from Game of Thrones, Twilight’s werewolves vs. vampires, and Lovecraft vs. Rowling.

The point is that FantasyCon is far more than a chance for an expensive photo op with the likes of Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, The World’s End, pictured) and Frodo. Although, of course, you’re welcome to do that, too. (Jacob Stringer) FantasyCon @ Salt Palace Convention Center, 90 W. South Temple, 801-534-4900, July 3-5, $10-$150. FantasyCon.com

After 30-plus years, Saturday’s Voyeur is more of an institution than a piece of theater. It’s practically an annual general conference for Utah’s frustrated socio-political minority: an opportunity to gather and share testimony, even if most of the ideas have become terribly familiar.

That makes it somewhat fitting that this latest satirical musical revolves around a conference weekend, with devoted brothers and sisters preparing a modesty pageant in honor of U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (Eb Madson). Meanwhile, one Mormon family experiences strife as Sister Marriott (Olivia Custodio) pushes back against certain church doctrines and her closeted gay husband (Justin Ivie). And the ghost of a devoted Temple Square docent (Jenessa Bowen) haunts the halls interacting with a rebellious angel Moroni (also played

by Madson).

As usual, the loose plot threads are just enough to hold together the string of blackout sketches and song parodies. While it’s somewhat disappointing to hear writers Allen Nevins and Nancy Borgenicht returning to familiar material like Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love,” they find much better material stretching into less obvious sources, including a hilarious bit set to Thomas Rhett’s “Beer With Jesus.”

If there’s a primary frustration with this Voyeur, it’s that it seems so focused on tweaking Mormon hypocrisies and public-policy overreach that it all but ignores a huge local issue: December’s federal court ruling in support of same-sex marriage. The production’s cast and exuberant staging keep it lively, but maybe there can be just as much fun to be found in the little victories.

The bigger question is one that I think more people are asking, and might take a little longer to answer: “Can Utah support so many conventions of this size?” While I can’t say yes for certain, I do think we have a very good chance of supporting all of these events—events that are occurring on a more and more frequent basis.

For one, we have a very sizable and active community dedicated to the geeky arts. The geek community here has plenty of figureheads that help mobilize and marshal the crowd into being very social. These people range from the crew at (disclaimer: I’m bragging) Big Shiny Robot! to the guys over at the Geek Show Podcast, from the local comic-book stores and their efforts, all the way to the crew at the Salt Lake City Main Library, doing everything they can to foster a culture that loves to read and participate.

Also, many of the stereotypes about Utahans are generally true. We’re often just a little bit naïve, wideeyed with wonder and easily wowed. Some might count that lack of cynicism as a bad thing, but I assure you, it’s a strength we don’t play up enough. We truly enjoy meeting the stars of our favorite movies and TV shows and the creators of our favorite comics. And we love it the same way we love seeing all the movie stars flock into town for the Sundance Film Festival every year. Some among us might be jaded, but it’s that same sense of awe that keeps us reading comic books and watching Star Wars that will keep us coming back to these conventions, whether they’re held annually, quarterly or even weekly.

So, for my part, I say “Bring on the conventions!”

Anything that brings us closer as a geek community is great in my book. If you approach anything with too much cynicism, it’s sure to blow up in your face and kill your enjoyment. I’ll check mine at the door and see you at the next convention. CW

f you haven’t noticed, there’s another major geek convention in town this week. With the billboards, Facebook posts and ads everywhere, it would be hard to miss FantasyCon, but did you know that the 67th annual West Coast Science Fantasy Conference (Westercon) is being held simultaneously and just across the street? And did you know that if you’re so inclined, your badge for one event will get you into the other?

Aside from these two geek y conventions, we’ve got other annual gatherings like Salt City Steamfest, SaltCon, Anime Banzai, ConDuit, Anime Salt Lake and other smaller, more specialized conventions. And that’s not even mentioning the big daddy of all the area conventions: Salt Lake Comic Con, coming back at us in September after its two record-breaking debut events. It’s the third largest comic-con in the United States, and it calls our fair city home.

You’d be forgiven if you scratched your head and wondered, “What makes Salt Lake City (and surrounding areas) so special? Why are we getting all of these conventions?”

For me, the answer to that question is easy: We have a diverse population that’s thirsty for genre entertainment. We’re a creatively stimulated group of people, encouraged to love reading and writing and movies and crafting from an early age.

There’s a reason Utah ranked as the nerdiest U.S. state in a recent survey conducted by the real-estate website Estately, and Salt Lake City is ranked pretty consistently as one of the most creative cities in the country.

Gallivan Center Free Movies: Dr. Strangelove

801-363-0565 · 580 E 300 S SLC · www.theartfloral.com

Open-air movies have become a Utah summer tradition in multiple venues, from the lawn of the Utah Capitol to public parks around the Salt Lake Valley. The Utah Film Center and Gallivan Center’s own spin on that tradition is to provide a month of themed classic films—and in July 2014, that theme is picking one of the classic film comedies from four consecutive decades.

The Monday night program kicks off with Dr. Strangelove, director Stanley Kubrick’s savage Cold War-era adaptation of the novel Fail-Safe, about a mentally unhinged American general who threatens to start a nuclear war. Featuring some of the most memorable quotes in movie history—“Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!”—and a brilliant triple performance by Peter Sellers, it’s laugh-because-you’re-trying-not-to-cry stuff. Bring your low-backed chair or lawn towel, and get ready for a month that also features Annie Hall, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Groundhog Day.

It’s probably remembered best for its closing number, “One,” in which the cast members form a single kick line—dressed in identical costumes, joining their voices in a unified, ironic celebration of a “singular sensation” even as they play the anonymous background roles in a stage production. But the dramatic force of the musical comes from the way it makes sure those players never seem anonymous again.

Launched from the real-life recordings of stories from several Broadway performers, the story—with a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante—follows a group of 17 finalists for a show’s chorus needs of “four boys and four girls.” On a bare stage, they share their stories, featuring great Marvin Hamlisch/Edward Kleban songs like “The Music and the Mirror,” “I Can Do That” and “What I Did for Love.” Newcomers looking for a break and veterans hoping for one last shot—theirs are the stories behind the stories we see on a theater stage.

Phyllis Barber: To the Mountain Most memoirs are about a journey of some kind—beginning at a certain place, and making an often difficult transition to somewhere better, somewhere healthier, somewhere more complete. Veteran writer and Park City resident Phyllis Barber takes a slightly different approach in her new book To the Mountain: One Mormon Woman’s Search for Spirit, as she describes a journey that takes her far from where she started, only to bring her back to that same place again.

“Ever since I fell off the precipice of knowing, I’ve been searching for places where Spirit resides,” Barber shares in the prologue, introducing us to a quest that begins with her separation in the 1990s from the Mormon faith into which she was born. In beautiful prose, the book follows her through many explorations—in Christian communities with Southern Baptists, with Buddhist monks in Tibet, in an Islamic society and with goddess-worshippers—before she ultimately finds her way back to a very different understanding of that original Mormon faith.

FRIDAY 7.4

Sugar House Arts Festival

| cityweekly.net |

The Sugar House Arts Festival may not be the size of the Park City Arts Festival or the Utah Arts Festival, but this annual event has some serious staying power. This year will be its 15th go at gathering local artists, vendors, food purveyors and music performers in the middle of the charming Sugar House commercial area.

Perhaps the most unique part of the arts fest is the annual Pet Parade. Designed to point out

the pet-friendly atmosphere of both the festival and Sugar House in general, the parade is a short 1.3-mile walk for you and your favorite animal companion (costumes definitely encouraged). The walk should help you get acquainted with the new Sugar House—like the colorful Sugarmont Plaza and brand-new tunnel called The Draw, linking Sugar House Park with Hidden Hollow—while refamiliarizing yourself with the beloved old.

That’s the balance the arts fest itself strikes, too—holding on to its bohemian roots, while developing a new path into its bright future.

By Ted Scheffler comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

eading and eating—or “reating,” as I like to call it—is a favorite pastime of mine. And if you can do it while soaking up the sun on the beach, patio, sidewalk cafe or at the pool, so much the better.

We’ve all been hearing a lot about the death of print publishing. Well, if the cookbook industry is any barometer, I’d say the future of the printed word looks pretty rosy.

Each year seems to bring not just more good books for cooks and food enthusiasts, but better ones. Maybe that’s because in today’s more egalitarian cooking world, it’s not just the Flays and Rays and Pucks that get published. There are some really great food publications and blogs out there, and many of them are showing up in book form.

Not every new cookbook is a gem, and part of my job is to sift through the stacks so that you don’t have to. Here are a few selections that would most certainly add flavor to your summer.

Steven Raichlen is known for his barbecue smarts, and although his latest book—Man Made Meals: The Essential Cookbook for Guys —might sound a bit misogynistic, I’d imagine the title was a PC-challenged marketing person’s idea. Women can buy it, too. The bottom line is that it’s another in a long line of terrific books from Raichlen about smoking, grilling, barbecuing, broiling, roasting, poaching and anything else you can do to food, especially meat. If nothing else, try out the incendiary Fire Eater chicken wings.

While we’re on the topic of meat, Jeffrey Weiss’ Charcutería: The Soul of Spain is a bonanza for meat-lovers, but a treasure trove for everyone else, too. The densely packed book weighs more than my KitchenAid mixer and covers more culinary territory than a dozen lesser cookbooks, combined. This very unique book not only introduces Americans to authentic Spanish-style butchering and meat-curing techniques, but also offers more than 100

DINE

traditional recipes, plus a detailed history of Spanish charcutería, all accompanied by beautiful photographs. From Spanish chorizo and adobos, to escabeche, embutidos and postres, Weiss has all the bases of Spain’s charcutería tradition covered.

For nearly a century, Orwashers bakery on New York’s Upper East Side has been supplying demanding customers with Old World-style artisan breads, including the famous loaf made with wine grape starters, a technique that dates back to Ancient Egypt. In 2007, artisan baker Keith Cohen purchased Orwashers and now he’s sharing the secrets of traditional bread baking in Orwashers A rtisan Bread: 100 Years of Techniques and Recipes . You’ll have a ball making your own miche rolls, challah, focaccia, pumpernickel, rye bread, baguettes and more. And Cohen’s precise and easy-to-follow instructions on matters like sourdough starters, proofing dough, fermentation, shaping and many others will help ensure that you’ll be a bodacious baker right off the bat. I followed his baguette recipe and might never have to eat another store-bought baguette.

Of course, man cannot live on bread alone. We must also have pâtisserie. Thankfully, William and Suzue Curley have come to the rescue with Patisserie. This is another hefty tome, and flipping through it at first seems a bit daunting. But relax. The authors start out with pâtisserie basics, like custards, creams, syrups and such before getting down to the nitty-gritty of more complex creations such as the Pistachio & Cherry Arctic Roll or the heavenly-looking Cadeaux au Chocolat. Or, you could just head over to Les Madeleines and let pastry chef Romina Rasmussen do the work.

After enjoying all those baked goods, pâtisserie, charcutería and such, you’ll probably welcome Michel Guérard’s new book: Eat Well and Stay Slim: The Essential Cuisine Minceur. During the 1970s and early ’80s, Michel Guérard—a threeMichelin-starred chef— was at the forefront of the cuisine minceur movement, which threw out

the hearty stews, pressed duck and such for a revolutionary new French cuisine. Portions were small, f lavors were vibrant, presentations were artful—and, unfortunately, too much cuisine minceur was just silly. It died—or so I thought—a probably deserved death in the late 1980s, when it was supplanted by the simplicity of French bistro fare.

When done right, however, cuisine minceur is still one of my favorite eating and art forms. In Eat Well and Stay Slim, Guérard proves than you can dine like a gourmand and still cut calories. His entree recipes all carry a calorie count of 240 calories or less. Try doing that with steak au poivre and pommes frites.

Healthy and wholesome eating are the underpinnings of two more good new cookbooks: The Nourished Kitchen by Jennifer McGruther, and Brassicas: Cooking the World’s Healthiest Vegetables by Laura B. Russell. McGruther’s fine book, subtitled Farm-to-Table Recipes for the Traditional Foods Lifestyle, has a clunky title, but her recipes certainly aren’t. They are a throwback to a time when our ancestors made their own cheeses, yogurt, breads, butter, broths, fermented veggies and such. Dishes like pickled beef tongue with mustard sauce and pan-fried calf’s liver with bacon and onions are two that my granddad would have heartily enjoyed.

Who’d have thought Brussels sprouts or kale would become trendy foods? Well, apparently Laura Russell saw Americans leaning toward healthy brassica—a genus of plants in the mustard family—and she’s here to help those of us who are a bit veggiephobic to understand and enjoy dishes made from foods like cabbage, mustard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens and many others. I never expected to fall in love with a broccoli and pepper jack frittata, but it happened.

Finally, summertime for me means ceviche.

This summer, I’ll turn to Martin Morales’ Ceviche: Peruvian Kitchen for his nearly endless array of ceviche preparations, along with other Peruvian specialties such as lomo saltado, tacu tacu and quinoa salad.

Enjoy your summer reating! CW

Quote of the week: The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else’s responsibility until I’m ready to eat it.

—Joel Salatin

“Buy local” is a concept that’s a no-brainer—good for both the local economy and the planet. Well, according to Angel Manfredini of Mandarin (348 E. 900 North, Bountiful, 801-298-2406, MandarinUtah.com), her restaurant has been supporting local farmers for 20 years. To wit, in summer 2013, Mandarin used 2,000 pounds of local produce in eight weeks, everything ranging from sugar snap peas, zucchini, eggplant, squash and green beans to tomatoes and peppers, incorporated into dishes like Nanking chicken, eggplant and chicken with garlic sauce, green beans in black-bean sauce and many others.

At the Downtown Farmers Market (Saturdays 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at Pioneer Park, 350 S. 300 West, Salt Lake City), a favorite iced coffee is from Jack Mormon Coffee Co. “I’m a fan of Jack Mormon Coffee’s cold press.

dynamic wines, Bonterra Chardonnay ($15.49) should be right up your alley.

Made from organic Mendocino fruit, this Chardonnay is a blend where 70 percent is aged in French and American oak, while the remaining 30 percent of the wine is aged in stainless steel, which helps preserve the wine’s crisp fruit flavors. It’s a bright, clean wine that would pair nicely with a simple roasted chicken.

A few other winning whites that are well worth your hard-earned dollar include Eyrie Dundee Hills Pinot Gris ($13.95), Domaine De Rieux Côtes de Gascogne Blanc ($12.50), Folonari Pinot Grigio ($7.49), Simply Naked Chardonnay ($7.98), Marqués de Cáceres White Wine ($8.99), and Cline Cellars Mourvedre Rosé ($10.99).

field since there are so many inferior ones that use oak to cloak flaws in the wine. Well, here are three economical Chards that I’d be proud to serve at my dinner table. If, like me, you appreciate the restrained use of oak in wine fermentation, I recommend Cono Sur Bicicleta Chardonnay ($8.99) from Chile’s Valle Central wine region—a well-balanced wine that is aged in stainless steel and shows peachy aromas, bright fruit flavors and solid mineral underpinnings.

The Wishing Tree Unoaked Chardonnay ($12.49) from South Australia is exactly that: unoaked. Pop the cork and you’ll be treated to gorgeous apricot, peach, honey and tangerine aromas, followed by candied citrus flavors and a hint of spice; it’s an elegant Chardonnay for the price.

If you lean toward organic and bio-

ne of the perks of my job is being able to taste wines that I could never afford. Still, what really turns me on is finding well-made, high-quality wines that I can afford. Yes, I’m a wine writer. But no, I don’t sit around sipping Opus One too often. I’d guess that 90 percent of the wines I drink are priced at $15 or less per bottle.

Now, if you think that wine under $15 is a crapshoot … well, it is. However, with modern winemaking technology and storage systems, your chances of finding good or even great low-priced wine are excellent. Most of the wine snobs I know actually drink cheap wine for everyday sipping— including an acquaintance of mine, Josh Wesson. Wesson is a professional sommelier who a few years ago, began opening his Best Cellars (pun intended) wine stores on the East Coast. At Best Cellars, most of the

wines are priced from $5 to $15. If valuepriced wine can satisfy Wesson’s picky palate, it can certainly work for mine. Here are a few wallet-friendly white wines that are readily available throughout Utah, all priced under $15.

Out on the patio in warm weather, I like a fruity and floral wine. Yalumba Y Series Viognier ($10.99) certainly fits the bill. Produced by Australia’s oldest family winery, this Viognier has prototypical aromas of white flowers, peach and apricot on the nose, with tropical pineapple and tangerine flavors on the palate. Another favorite “deck-and-patio” wine for me is Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Gewürztraminer ($8.99) from Washington State. This lush Gewürztraminer is quite floral on the nose, with crisp acidity and citrus notes courtesy of the 2 percent Muscat that is blended with 98 percent Gewürztraminer. There are hints of clove and cinnamon, too, and this wine is a good partner for Asian fare.

While we’re still in the flowery wine department, I should mention Dr. L Loosen Bros. Riesling ($12.62), which Wine Spectator awarded 91 points for the 2012 vintage. It’s got bright peach and grapefruit aromas with abundant peach flavors on the tongue—a very vibrant and racy Riesling.

A sampler of Ted Scheffler’s reviews Bistro 222

No culinary walls are being torn down at Bistro 222—not that there’s anything wrong with that. More often than not, I’d prefer a well-made pizza to duck breast in chocolatelavender sauce. The dinner menu is manageable: a trio of pastas, a salad quartet, a quintet of appetizers and a sextet of entrees, plus a few pizzas and sides. The fettuccine with a generous portion of fresh clams is one of my favorite Bistro 222 dishes, although not for the timid, as it’s spiked with fiery chili flakes. Kids will veer toward the Napoli-style wood-oven pizzas, which are outstanding. Like its sister restaurants Boulevard Bistro and Toscano Italian Bistro in Sandy, Bistro 222 is warm and inviting, but with a modern, urban vibe that’s perfect for the “new” downtown Salt Lake City.

This charming restaurant looks tiny, but inside, it’s surprisingly roomy, and old wood floors, exposed brick walls and dark tables and chairs lend a warm ambiance.

There are a couple of must-try sharable appetizers on the menu, like the remarkable fresh spring rolls—a taste of spring itself. And although I normally wouldn’t go anywhere near coconut fried shrimp, Skewered Thai’s version, with coconut batter, is another matter entirely. The pad thai was scrumptious, and even better than that—if that’s possible—was a wicked-good noodle dish called pad kee mao (drunken noodle), a platter of wide, pan-fried rice noodles and a distinctively spicy mélange of tender shrimp, red bell pepper, mushrooms, broccoli, carrot, tomato, fresh chili, egg, onion and fragrant Thai basil. I’ll need to make room on my list of favorite Thai restaurants—right at the top or very close to it—for Skewered Thai.

Many people consider the area around the airport a culinary wasteland, but visitors to the International Pantry inside the International Center know better.

The gyros are the place’s most noteworthy calling card, and people travel from miles around to get some of that tender meat served on perfect pitas. But fish sandwiches, kabobs, fries and salads also hit the spot, and the burgers are a massive meal by themselves.

CINEMA

Snowpiercer turns a director’s vision into propulsive genre satisfaction.

By Andrew Wright comments@cityweekly.net

B

Chris Evans and Jamie Bell fight the locomotive power in Snowpiercer.

CGI f lourishes. There’s always a sense of further strangeness just beyond the frame.

Ultimately, however, what makes Snowpiercer work so well is the presence of the guy in charge, who continues to develop the distinct brand of chaos theory that first put him on the map. Displaying hellacious confidence, Bong delivers a movie that knows when to stay tight to the narrative—most notably during a spatial shoot-out that should have engineers clutching their slide rules—and when to go out-the-window gonzo (e.g., a sequence featuring A lison Pill as a relentlessly cheery teacher and sporting the most twisted hymn to grace the screen since the bomb-worshipping mutants piped up in Beneath the Planet of the Apes).

At a time when most escapist films feel like the result of a committee linked via creak y speakerphone, this hugely entertaining movie demonstrates the benefits of having a singular, loopy vision calling the shots. While watching it, don’t be surprised if you’re already making plans to see it again. CW

and axes. As the group bloodily makes its way from compartment to compartment, a dedicated underling (Tilda Swinton) steps up her efforts to halt the revolution, by any means necessary.

Evans, an actor who has done interesting work both inside and outside of the Marvel Big Leagues—his performance as the most fiercely dedicated and no-nonsense crew member in Danny Boyle’s Sunshine remains the best element in that rather underappreciated film—plays the strong and silent type here with aplomb, with a whopper of a late-act monologue that brutally fills in the intentional characterization blanks. His holding back gives ample room to Swinton, who has long made a delightful habit of letting her weirdness fill any available space.

Given what appears to be free rein by her director, she is at the hilarious top of her game here, delivering a performance that’s part Margaret Thatcher, part uppermanagement drone in every job you’ve ever hated; the story behind her teeth alone warrants a spin-off.

Both are backed by the presence of Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, Jamie Bell and a number of other actors who zig in and out of the narrative unexpectedly; in the words of the immortal critic Joe Bob Briggs, this is one of those movies in which anybody can die at any time. The strength of the actors is only bolstered by the scuzzy neatness of the sets, which create a lived-in world that’s rich in detail—each section of the train features a separate design scheme—without unnecessary

ong Joon-ho isn’t one for staying within the lines. Since making his debut with the bleakly funny Tarantino riff Barking Dogs Never Bite, the South Korean director has delivered a terrific streak of films that remain respectful to their chosen genres—crime procedurals for Memories of Murder, Hitchcockian suspense for Mother—while also somehow veering confoundingly askew of the flowcharts. For evidence, look no further than The Host, a thematically rich giant monster movie in which a somber wake suddenly turns into a Benny Hill routine.

Snowpiercer, Bong’s largest film, supersizes his proven kinetic and metaphoric strengths, while also allowing plenty of room for his unpredictable freak flag to fly.

Working for the first time in the English language, the filmmaker takes one of the hoariest sci-fi scenarios imaginable—a post-apocalyptic throwdown between the haves and have-nots—and transforms it into something that feels both fresh and gloriously off.

Based on a French graphic novel, the script by Bong and Kelly Masterson (Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead) finds the world transformed into a frozen wasteland after an attempt to halt global warming. Those few humans left un-Popsicled remain in a gigantic train perpetually circling the continents, with the frontmost cars reserved for the elite. Back near the caboose, the starving lower caste (led by Chris Evans) hatch a scheme to escape their lockdown and sample the good life, with the reluctant aid of the train’s drug-addled engineer and his daughter (The Host veterans Song Kangho and Go Ah-sung).

Oldboy’s Park Chan-wook helped produce the film, which may explain the relentless forward motion, as well as the presence of many, many hammers

Sad Clown

By Scott Renshaw scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

I

’m happy to live in a world where Melissa McCarthy can be a movie star.

Even if you assume that she’s working a single stock character—an irrationally confident force of nature whose size might be used for physical punch lines— it’s baby steps of progress that she can now headline a Hollywood comedy that in years past might only have gone to a male comedian. And tell me you wouldn’t rather watch her than Kevin James.

It feels, though, like McCarthy is trying to stretch a bit in Tammy, which she co-wrote with her husband (and the movie’s director), Ben Falcone. The titular Tammy is a perpetual screw-up, and when one day finds her losing her job, her car and her husband, she decides to take the radical step of leaving her Illinois hometown. So it’s time for a road trip, requiring the car—and the accompanying presence—of her alcoholic, diabetic grandmother, Pearl (Susan Sarandon).

At the outset, Tammy feels like familiar territory for McCarthy, especially as she fumbles her way through that initial crappy day. She’s well-paired with Sarandon, who gives an edge to the tired trope of the profane granny, while also providing a context for how Tammy became such an irresponsible mess.

But there’s an awkward inconsistency to the way McCarthy and Falcone write Tammy. The buffoon who bumbles through robbing a fast-food restaurant and doesn’t recognize the name “Mark Twain” isn’t the same person who later simply seems beaten down by life; the aggressive woman who comes on to a quiet guy (Mark Duplass) isn’t the same one who often looks wounded by the way others treat her. McCarthy’s got the acting chops to play someone who’s more tragic than merely clownish, but Tammy wants it both ways: giving her a dramatic arc, and selling the audience a completely different comic character who looks funny falling down.

Deliver Us from Evil [not yet reviewed] A New York police officer (Eric Bana) investigates what appears to be a series of demonic possessions. Opens July 2 at theaters valleywide. (R) Earth to Echo HH Perhaps we’ve come to expect “derivative” as a typical characteristic of family fare—but not a single thing going on here wasn’t poached from some other movie. E.T. is only the most obvious antecedent for a fantasy adventure about three middle-school best friends—Tuck (kid rapper Astro), Alex (Teo Halm) and Munch (Reese C. Hartwig)— facing a final night together before their families are forced to move from their Nevada suburb by a new freeway project. They spend it following a weird signal on their cell phones, leading them to a cute stranded alien robot-thing they call Echo. It’s a reminder of the cute alien robot-things from *Batteries Not Included, plus there’s comingof-age-ish buddy stuff via Stand By Me, and a faux-doc format that’s part Chronicle, part Super 8, and almost entirely pointless as a narrative device. The kids are solid enough—Hartwig in particular offers a uniquely charming take on the geeky outcast—but the story does little to set up the big emotional payoffs. All that leaves

CURRENT RELEASES 22 Jump Street HHH.5 Cleverer, wittier and snarkier than 21 Jump Street, this is nonstop self-deprecation of its “sequel to a reboot” sta-

tus, offering well-deserved smacks to about 817 Hollywood things that desperately deserve it: TV shows-turned-movies, sequelitis, dumb action heroes, meet-cutes, bromances, fist fights, frat comedies, 30-something actors playing teenagers, and other nonsense. Cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) have “graduated” to going undercover at a college—they’re investigating a drugs case that is “just like last time”—and though this is as big, loud, action-y and goofy as an action-comedy sequel can be, it’s (mostly) not stupid, sexist or homophobic along the way. And it’s surprisingly just plain nice. 22 Jump Street punches up, at the excesses and inanities of Hollywood, and not down at the usual easy, powerless targets—and even then, it’s never cruel about it.

(R)—MaryAnn Johanson

Edge of Tomorrow HHH.5 Director Doug Liman may be contemporary cinema’s foremost chronicler of relationships under pressure, though nothing in this movie’s basic premise—about soldier William Cage (Tom Cruise) caught in a repeating time loop after he’s killed in a battle with invading aliens—suggests it addresses interpersonal dynamics. Liman finds inventive, often hilarious ways to tell that story, charging through its “find and kill the leader” plot with efficiency and a real sense of visual style. But there’s also the story of Cage’s interaction with another soldier (Emily Blunt) who has been through a similar experience; the repeated days provide a chance to learn from mistakes not just on the battlefield, but in life. The simple, smart pleasures here include a look at how many screw-ups it can take to learn there may be things—and people—beyond yourself that are worth fighting for. (PG-13)—SR

The Fault in Our Stars HHH.5 Allow me to announce at the outset that I had a few major problems with John Green’s mega-successful novel—and this film adaptation improves on nearly all of them. It sticks to the satisfying love story between teen cancer survivors Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus (Ansel Elgort), but where Green often seemed too infatuated with quirky, quippy dialogue, director Josh Boone and his screenwriting team focus on the chemistry between the actors.

And there’s a charming connection between Woodley and Elgort, one that homes in on the key difference between them: Augustus’ fear that he won’t be remembered, and Hazel’s fear that she’ll be remembered too much. One hugely miscalculated sequence at Amsterdam’s Anne Frank house leaves a sour taste, but in general, it’s terrific as the kind of movie it’s trying to be: sharply observed and nakedly emotional. (PG-13)—SR

Godzilla HHH Gareth Edwards serves up a giant lizard movie with style, as U.S. Navy Lt. Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who has a tragic family history involving a mysterious earthquake in Japan, encounters the King of Monsters as he takes on giant insect creatures. The material involving human characters is somewhat perfunctory get-backto-your-loved-ones stuff, but Edwards chooses to keep his movie interesting by making it genuinely fascinating to watch, full of genuinely striking images and a willingness to tease viewers on the way to the big finale. At last, of course, we do get to the battle of the behemoths, and there’s both a nostalgic crowd-pleasing quality and an almost mythical approach to these creatures and their titanic showdowns. Edwards commits to that idea even when it means not giving audiences exactly what they might expect from their contemporary blockbusters. (PG-13)—SR

How to Train Your Dragon 2 HHH.5 In the followup to the 2010 original, young Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and his seaside village have settled into a new normal where dragons are trusted companions—until a

warlord (Djimon Hounsou) arrives, with designs on controlling all dragons. Hiccup also discovers that his mother (Cate Blanchett)—whom he’s always believed to be dead—is still alive, and the film finds surprisingly emotional material in this family reunion. But even more satisfying—along with the thrilling, swooping visuals—is the idea that there are different ways to be a leader, and that some choices, even heroic ones, have permanent, not always happy consequences. Perhaps there’s no way to avoid some of the more formulaic action elements of family blockbusters, yet it’s always a pleasant surprise when an institution like DreamWorks Animation decides that playing it safe isn’t the only option. (PG)—SR

Jersey Boys HH.5 Clint Eastwood wants to give his movie audience the experience of watching a stage musical, without grasping what to keep and what to change. He adapts the hit “jukebox musical” about the Four Seasons, formed in 1950s New Jersey by childhood friends Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young) and Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza). Eastwood only halfway retains a device in which each member tells the story from his own POV, and the familiar songs come almost exclusively during performance scenes, while music disappears entirely in some stretches of the narrative. Most problematic are performances that feel as though they’re being pitched at a live theater audience. There’s an ironic moment when Frankie gets advice before The Ed Sullivan Show that he should perform for the camera rather than for the balcony. Maybe Eastwood never gave his actors that same advice. (R)—SR

Obvious Child HHH The keywords “abortion romantic comedy” will have you halfway toward figuring out whether there’s any chance this could be up your alley; the rest depends on how in tune you are with Jenny Slate’s caustic comedic sensibility. Slate plays struggling wouldbe stand-up comedian Donna Stern, whose life goes from general suckiness to the existential terror of an unplanned pregnancy after a drunken one-night stand. Slate proves to be a surprisingly terrific actress, nailing some difficult, emotionally unsettling scenes beyond the tart, memorable one-liners. It’s funny and messy and at times genuinely sweet—which makes it a shame that it’s sometimes an uncomfortable collision between slight rom-com charms and self-congratulation about how matter-offactly it treats the topic of abortion. It’s not easy to navigate the treacherous terrain between female-empowerment raunch and overly earnest position paper. (R)—SR

Transformers: Age of Extinction H.5 Optimus Prime is now a clunker hunted for scrap, and Shia LaBeouf has mercifully given way to Mark Wahlberg, but everything else remains pretty much the same; if you only want to make it in time to catch the robo-dinosaurs from the ads, feel free to drag your heels for 130 minutes or so. As a director, Michael Bay has never been known to sweat the small stuff—character development, internal logic, etc.—but his latest seems actively hostile toward anything that doesn’t directly involve pieces of metal loudly banging together; scenes drift between daylight and nighttime in a way that would make Ed Wood cry foul. There have been worse summer blockbusters—including Transformers 2—but there may never have been one that’s so openly, lazily contemptuous about its own universe. Where does the giant bearded robot buy his cigars?

(PG-13)—Andrew Wright

X-Men: Days of Future Past HHH Bryan Singer juggles more than a dozen mutants and whole heaps of story for a satisfying comic-book action spectacle and allegory. From an apocalyptic near future, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is sent back in time to 1973, where he must stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from an act that will set the deadly events in motion. The overlap of characters from the two X-franchises is part of the fun, and for once the sheer magnitude of the cast and plotting in a superhero epic feels somewhat justified. The bouncing between characters sometimes doesn’t allow for focus on the film’s strongest assets, like Evan Peters as happily anarchic speedster Quicksilver. But it’s intriguing watching something pointedly set at the end of the Vietnam War, as it looks at the moral choices we can make when confronted with something we perceive as a threat. (PG-13)—SR

They Came Together HHHH David Wain and Michael Showalter go directly for the jugular of the rom-com with the most hilariously spot-on genre parody since Walk Hard. At a dinner with friends, Joel (Paul Rudd) and Molly (Amy Poehler) relate their story of meeting cute, maybe having some initial attraction, sparring and falling in love. Wain hones in on a couple of ur-texts for his parody— When Harry Met Sally… and You’ve Got Mail—and brilliantly nails every target he aims for: the buddies who serve as Joel’s confidants offering demographically diverse advice; the montage of Molly trying on clothes; the wonderfully demented “good times” montage and theme song video. With Rudd and Poehler delivering enthusiastic performances behind ironically earnest smiles, The Came Together does what the best parody does: Its own crazed imagination points out how little imagination there can be in its target.

What-ever. In this batshit Syfy-meets-Lifetime mashup of Rosemary’s Baby, The Astronaut’s Wife, Gravity, A.I. and whatever else producer Steven Spielberg thinks he can (and will) get away with, Berry plays an astronaut who returns from a year-long solo mission in space pregnant—oh, and she already has a robot son with her ex-astronaut husband (Goran Visnjic). Did she hallucinate that good-lookin’ alien on her spaceship? Is there a conspiracy behind her pregnancy?

So why does their debut “best idea” look like Fox circa 2001?

Return: When CBS canceled Bad Teacher in May after five weeks, it was implied that you’d never, ever see the final eight of 13 produced episodes—but here they are! Ari Graynor’s take on Cameron Diaz’s toxic film gold digger was more light and likable at first, but it became apparent that she couldn’t carry the show alone; beyond the occasional comic assist from David Allen Grier, the only support she got on Bad Teacher was from Victoria’s Secret.

Into the Black

The Antlers confront the monster within on new album.

n the psychological thriller Black Swan, protagonist Nina begins being haunted by a doppelgänger as she loses her grip on reality while preparing for the starring role in the ballet Swan Lake. The encounters start out merely as unsettling, such as when Nina passes “herself” on the sidewalk. But one night, while Nina’s lying submerged in a bath with her eyes closed, she opens her eyes underwater to find blood dripping on the water’s surface and the evil-twinlike figure bending over her, grinning diabolically. Nina becomes increasingly paranoid, but as the story continues, it’s apparent that her bloodthirsty double is merely a projection of her own inner darkness.

Vocalist/guitarist Peter Silberman explores a similar narrative on The Antlers’ fifth full-length album, Familiars, released in June. With chilling lyrical imagery and a beautiful but sepulchral instrumental atmosphere, Silberman weaves a ghostly tale that is a more literal telling of his recent period of intensive soul-searching, when he gazed unflinchingly into the eyes of his own dark side.

While Silberman was writing Familiars alongside the other members of the Brooklyn-based ambient indie-rock band—multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci and drummer Michael Lerner—“I was experiencing a lot of change,” he says. “It was kind of a waking-up period and a sort of reflective period where I was looking back at the past.” After taking hard looks at his career, significant relationships and “my place in the world and my place in my own life” and deciding how he wanted to proceed, he says, “the conclusion I came to was that I wanted to revise the way that I went about my life.

And it’s a subtle art revising the way that you live.”

During this emotional process, Silberman discovered his shadow side by “accident,” as a result of being honest with himself about his past self and present state of being—even the parts that were “disturbing,” he says. But instead of reburying that unsavory knowledge as soon as it was uncovered, “I wanted to really almost draw that creature out of myself, like put it on a box or put it in a shape so I could really identify it and really maybe confront it as opposed to letting it lay hidden in myself,” he says.

Even Familiars’ album art speaks to this idea. Two figures stand facing each other, embracing, with their heads bent. But the way their bodies line up makes it appear that they share the same head. The image aptly represents what Silberman describes as looking at “that difference between your present self and your past self, as if they were two separate people,” while still recognizing they’re two parts of one whole.

As the story of the two selves begins in Familiars, the main character is being stalked by his dark double. On “Doppelgänger”—as a lone trumpet creates the nighttime setting in which the pursuit is unfolding—Silberman’s powerful falsetto quiets to nearly a whisper as he describes the events in menacing terms: “If you’re quiet, you can hear the monster breathing/ Do you hear the gentle tapping?/ My ugly creature’s freezing.”

The Antlers But as Familiars wends on—with textured compositions that slyly pull the listener into slowly spiraling whirlpools of watery synths and twinkling piano—the light and dark sides begin to overlap. “Part of what this record was about for me was … recognizing that it’s sort of erroneous to polarize yourself like that,” Silberman says. “On the one hand, to really get to know your darker side is really important. But it’s easy to disassociate from them, too, to say, ‘That aspect of my personality isn’t me, only the good parts are me.’ ” The album, he continues, describes the realization that “it’s all a part of you, and the things in you that seem the most unlike you are part of the whole fabric of your personality, and you can’t ever destroy them. You can’t ignore them. You have to learn to make friends with them.”

By the album’s fifth track, “Director,” that unification of the two entities culminates when “you realize that this thing that’s been chasing you is the means by which you kind of confront your own dark shit,” Silberman says. “And that it’s ultimately those difficulties in life, those challenges, are really the way that you grow. … You shouldn’t run away from them, you shouldn’t fear them; you should face them head on and embrace them.”

Having darker aspects to your personality that you’d rather not see is universal, something everyone deals with, Silberman says, “some more than others.” Most humans come to a point where they must decide to either run away from their true self, or look the doppelgänger in the eye.

In Silberman’s case, when he figuratively turned off the lights and looked into a mirror, he didn’t think of what he saw lurking there in an abstract sense; he gave it claws and teeth.

“I think people struggle with all sorts of demons in their life, and we don’t often think of them as an actual demon,” he says. “But it helped me to think of it that way.” CW

t’s taken Dustbloom nearly three years to solidify themselves as a band—not just in nailing down a lineup, but also finding a musical style to fill their creative ambitions. Fans who pick up Dustbloom’s first official album, Keeping the Black Dog at Bay—released July 3—will discover that the Salt Lake City hardcore band has daringly taken its sound in a more inventive direction.

Forming Dustbloom after the breakup of the band Arches in 2011, Ian Cooperstein and Cameron Jorgensen put together the post-hardcore group with a rotating lineup of musicians. Over the next 18 months, every time the band started moving forward, a member would disagree with their sound and leave. After struggling creatively and scrapping most of their songs, the group could muster only three tracks on a split EP with Huldra in 2012.

“The band was a learning process for us,” Cooperstein says. “There was lot of having no idea how to do tasks outside of just writing songs—like marketing ourselves, coordinating practices, booking shows and writing an actual cohesive record.”

It wasn’t until they found guitarist Christopher Peterson and bassist Chris Jensen near the end of 2012 that they got to work on Keeping the Black Dog at Bay. The group started writing songs with a heavier theme and tone, and incorporated new methods in their 14-month writing/recording session, including newer tunings and a baritone guitar.

“When Chris joined the band, it was a game changer sonically,” Cooperstein says. “Peterson brought sludgy, heav y riffs and haunting lead parts, and Jensen brought some of the most intelligent bass playing I’ve ever seen.”

Keeping the Black Dog at Bay goes from thick and brutal in tracks like “Vowelphabet” and “Pneumonia” to ethereal and eerie in “Prokofiev” and “Iin,” crafted so that listeners are taken through an array of emotions in a few note changes.

This isn’t just an album; it’s a passion project of metal, hardcore and rock from the heart.

“I’d rather have a dope record that I’m proud of than some half-ass contribution that I have trouble standing behind,” Cooperstein says. “We all needed to learn some serious lessons, from performance to tone engineering to song writing. I have a feeling that, in the future, I’ll look back at making this record as ‘the good ol’ days.’ ” CW

Provostock Utah supergroup honors Woodstock’s legacy at rooftop tribute show.

By Kolbie Stonehocker kstonehocker@cityweekly.net @vonstonehocker

I

n the summer of 1969, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair brought half a million people to a dairy farm outside the small town of Bethel, N.Y. Centered around a message of peace, love and music, the free weekend-long event featured a legendary lineup that included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Woodstock went down in history as a defining moment in ’60s counterculture and one of the most significant music festivals of all time.

Now, more than 40 summers later, Woodstock will be the theme of this year’s Rooftop Concert Series tribute show, called Summertime Blues: The Songs of Woodstock. Organized by Salt Lake City musician Paul Jacobsen—of Paul Jacobsen & the Madison Arm and The Lower Lights— tribute shows in past years have honored the repertoire of The Rolling Stones and Tom Petty, as well as the Beatles’ pivotal Abbey Road, with the music lovingly covered by a superband made up of influential local musicians.

That’s why this year’s theme is so unique: Instead of focusing on the music of a specific artist or album, the show will be re-creating the music of a huge festival that included performances by 32 bands.

As a result, the Woodstock theme—the idea of singer-songwriter Sarah Sample, who’s also in the lineup—will make for a refreshingly eclectic tribute show, with the work of a wide variety of artists being represented.

Coming up with the set list that would capture Woodstock’s diversity was a tricky task for Jacobsen. “To me the challenge of this is to say, ‘Wow, three days, 30-something bands played, how do you pick 16 songs but also give the breadth of it?’ ” he says. But through a careful matchmaking process of pairing singers like Joshua James, Ryan Innes, Desert Noises’ Kyle Henderson and The Blue Aces’ Cristal Ramirez to a song that will allow them to shine, Jacobsen came up with a list of

justin hackworth

MUSIC

songs that should be a worthy snapshot of Woodstock and show off the high-caliber talent in the tribute show’s lineup.

“I think you’re going to see a variety of moments that will wow you,” Jacobsen says. “Everything from The Hollering Pines girls doing their beautiful Americana harmony singing on an old Gram Parsons song, to face-melting shredding by [Fictionist’s] Robbie Connolly, and funk and some of the psychedelic stuff in the middle. I like it because it’s a little more varied.”

For the musicians—which include Dylan Schorer (The Hollering Pines, The Lower Lights) and Aaron Anderson (Fictionist, Mideau)—and singers alike, the process of covering such classic material is a meticulous but rewarding one, involving rehearsing the songs part by part for weeks before the tribute show with Jacobsen’s supervision. Jacobsen does take some artistic liberties with the music, but the difference, he says, “between what we do and what a bar band does is those details. I think a lot goes on for the musicians and I think a lot goes on for the audience when they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, they play that guitar part just like I remember it.’ There’s a special energy to that when you hear it the way you’ve always heard it.”

And the ensemble must not only do each song justice, but also convey the spirit of it. The energy they bring to the material is infectious, as they cheer one another on and play the songs with passion. The tribute show brings together artists that typically don’t work together, “and to be able to bring these people around and have it be almost 100 percent egoless is not normal.

It’s not an everyday occurrence,” Jacobsen says. “You can’t undervalue the spirit that these people bring to it, because that’s what makes it great.” CW

Fourth-Annual 100 Block Party Fourth of July festivities are such a big deal in downtown Provo that folks will often camp along the parade route overnight to stake out prime viewing spots. But once you snag your spot, it’s gonna be a long night unless you can satisfy your growling tummy and find something else to do besides play Words With Friends on your phone. So, make sure to stop by Muse for the fourth-annual 100 Block Party for live music and munchies. The lineup will include event hosts House of Lewis, The Ladells, Deadtooth, Kindred Dead and My Fair Fiend, with DJ SkratchMo keeping the party going between bands. A $3 wristband will allow you to come and go as you please, in case it’s your turn to guard your spot on the sidewalk. And in addition to Muse’s typical cafe fare like grilled-cheese sandwiches, there will also be $1 hot dogs and 50 cent ice-cream sandwiches. Muse Music Cafe, 151 N.

They put on a killer, high-energy set, as does rap trio Better Taste Bureau, who just released new album Outliers and will be opening for De La Soul and Rapsody & 9th Wonder at Twilight later this summer. Burnell Washburn’s thoughtful rap was heard most recently on his introspective new album, Gratitude. And DJ Matty Mo’s creative style on the turntables can always be relied on; make sure to catch him at Twilight when he opens for the Wu-Tang Clan later this month.

Zepparella It seems like tribute bands can either really hit the mark, or fail the source material so badly it’s just a travesty. In the case of Zepparella—an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute act that gets its name from the combination of the words “zeppelin” and

Zepparella Barbarella—these four ladies definitely fall into the former category. Founded by drummer Clementine, this San Francisco band combine impressive attention to detail with high energy and raw talent, doing justice to Led Zeppelin’s legendary catalog but still sounding fresh and engaging. A live YouTube video of Zepparella taking on “When the Levee Breaks” is especially killer, with vocalist Noelle Doughty putting her own spin on Robert Plant’s trademark howls but also uncannily sounding a bit like him. Thunderfist will start things off.

Harry & the Potters Fans of the Harry Potter books will get a kick out of the witty songs written by Harry & the Potters, with lines like “I got a mysterious gift from my dead dad/ It was an invisibility cloak, how rad,” from “Wizard Chess.”

Founded in 2002 in Norwood, Mass., Harry & the Potters—made up of brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge, who collectively perform in character as Harry, wearing wire-rimmed glasses and Gryffindor uniforms—are the starting point of the genre of “wizard rock.”

Their sound is charmingly raggedy indie-pop/ punk made from nothing more than guitar, synths, drums and yelpy voices—heard most recently on 2011’s Live at the New York Public Library—but these wizards can do more than make entertaining music. Determined to connect young people to music, Harry & the Potters’ shows are always all-ages. “We imagined that we would be able to harness this organic enthusiasm for these stories

PHOX Your home state can often maintain a mysterious magnetic pull, pulling you back even throughout the ups and downs of life.

Such was the case for the six members of Midwest band Phox. The group went to the same high school in Baraboo, the “Circus City” of Wisconsin, but went their separate ways after graduation. Coincidentally, they all eventually ended up back in Wisconsin, and moved into a house together in Madison. It was there that they created a sound that’s truly hard to describe: Some bits of it are hazy pop-rock, other components rattle and roll with noisy reverb, and other parts still are jazzy and soulful. Whatever they’re doing, it’s working; Phox’s self-titled debut album—released in June—is somethin’ else, intriguing, fresh and ear-perking, featuring frontwoman Monica Martin’s smooth but lilting voice. Trails & Ways are also on the bill.

Gipsy Moon Eventide is exactly the kind of album you would expect from a band often described as “gipsygrass.” The debut full-length album from Gipsy Moon, a five-piece bluegrass group from Nederland, Colo., is a hearty mix of carefully picked mandolin melodies and twangy vocals mixed over EasternEuropean-style cello harmonies. With antiestablishment lyrics, beats meant to get your feet stomping, and a few good ol’ bluegrass classics in their repertoire, Gipsy Moon promise an inspiring, high-energy show for just about everyone. Six Feet in the Pine and Juana Ghani will open on Thursday, and Melody Pulsipher will open on Friday. (Natalee Wilding) Thursday, July 3 @ Bar Deluxe, 666 S.

Man With a Mission Throwing their hats in the ring with other masked music makers like Daft Punk, Deadmau5 and Hollywood Undead, Man With a Mission carry on this bizarre tradition with wolf masks.

The group have mythological origins that involve Jimi Hendrix creating them as the ultimate life forms. Hailing from Japan, bassist Kamikaza Boy, drummer Spear Ribs, guitarist/vocalist Jean-Ken Johnny, vocalist Tokyo Tanaka and DJ Santa Monica put on over-the-top shows while executing their catchy concoction of rap rock and dance pop with skill. Their intense guitar work accompanied with the twist of turntables and swift rap puts them in line with Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, but on a more melodic and extreme level. Purr Gato will also perform.

or those of us whose work schedules (or paychecks) won’t allow for a leisurely European getaway, comfort can still be found in the form of Salt Lake’s Meditrina Small Plates and Wine Bar, a true homage to both international cuisine and slower pace of life.

Located at 1394 SW Temple on a quiet neighborhood street, Meditrina offers a dining experience unlike any other in the area. Serving up savory dishes like spicy patatas bravas, wild mushroom and brie crostini, pork belly and crab-stuffed piquillos, you can see why Chef Jennifer Gilroy says she “loves to play with food.”

A self-proclaimed foodie traveler, Gilroy admits she prefers small plates because she doesn’t like to commit to an entire entrée. “I work to create balanced flavors,” she says. “Meditrina is a fusion of small plates—not just Spanish tapas—and that’s what makes it fun. You get a taste of everything.”

Since opening in November 2008, Meditrina has become a local favorite, a place removed enough from the downtown hubbub that it’s easy to pretend you’re actually on vacation at an exotic locale.

Having a themed monthly wine social aids in this deception. The next social is happening on Monday, July 14th, and will be hosted by renowned winemaker, Sean Minor, who’s flying in from California to showcase his Four Bears wine to be paired with four light food options. Reservations are required, so do call to save your spot at (801)-485-2055.

Meditrina is open Monday–Thursday, 5:30–9:30 p.m., and Friday–Saturday, 5:30– 10:30 p.m., and closed Sundays. For more information, check out the website: www. meditrinaslc.com. n

To further permeate her plates with love, Gilroy uses produce grown right in Meditrina’s backyard: 10 types of heirloom tomatoes, sugar snap peas, kale, heirloom radishes, beets and cucumbers are just a few examples. This allows Meditrina to not only improve local sustainability, but also update its menu with new dishes and features to reflect seasonal offerings.

The charming open-air patio, set against the avocado and eggplant-colored restaurant façade, provides the perfect summer evening backdrop for good wine, good food, and conversation. Who can resist Ella Fitzgerald crooning “At Last” from the speakers, the twinkly lights hung overhead, and special dessert features like lavender-infused panna cotta with a balsamic glaze reduction to cap the meal? It turns out not many can, as several guests will wait patiently in their cars in the parking lot until doors open promptly at 5:30 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Would you like your savings account to grow? Then deposit money into it on a consistent basis. Would you like to feel good and have a lot of physical energy? Eat healthy food, sleep as much as you need to and exercise regularly. Do you want people to see the best in you and give you the benefit of the doubt? See the best in them and give them the benefit of the doubt. Would you love to accomplish your most important goal? Decide what you want more than anything else and focus on it with relaxed intensity. Yes, Aries, life really is that simple—or at least it is right now. If you want to attain interesting success, be a master of the obvious.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your urge to merge is heating up. Your curiosity about combinations is intensifying. I think it’s time to conduct jaunty experiments in mixing and blending. Here’s what I propose: Let your imagination run half-wild. Be unpredictable as you play around with medleys and hodgepodges and sweet unions. But don’t be attached to the outcomes. Some of your research may lead to permanent arrangements, and some won’t. Either result is fine. Your task is to enjoy the amusing bustle, and learn all you can from it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The American painter Ivan Albright (1897-1983) was a meticulous creator. He spent as much time as necessary to get every detail right. An entire day might go by as he worked to perfect one square inch of a painting, and some of his pieces took years to finish. When the task at hand demanded intricate precision, he used a brush composed of a single hair. That’s the kind of attention to minutia I recommend for you—not forever, but for the next few weeks.

Be careful and conscientious as you build the foundation that will allow you maximum freedom of movement later this year.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Percival Lowell (1855-1916) was an influential astronomer who launched the exploration that led to the discovery of Pluto.

He also made some big mistakes. Here’s one: Gazing at Venus through his telescope, he swore he saw spokes emanating from a central hub on the planet’s surface. But we now know that Venus is shrouded with such thick cloud cover that no surface features are visible. So what did Lowell see? Due to an anomaly in his apparatus, the telescope projected shadows from inside his eyes onto the image of Venus. The “spokes” were actually the blood vessels in his retinas. Let this example serve as a cautionary tale for you in the coming weeks, Capricorn. Don’t confuse what’s within you with what’s outside you. If you can clearly discern the difference, your closest relationships will experience healing breakthroughs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean.” So said British writer G. K. Chesterton. Now I’m passing his advice on to you just in time for the Purge & Purify Phase of your astrological cycle. In the coming weeks, you will generate good fortune for yourself whenever you wash your own brain and absolve your own heart and flush the shame out of your healthy sexual feelings. As you proceed with this work, it may expedite matters if you make a conscious choice to undergo a trial by fire.

JULY 3, 2014 | 59

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “I awake in a land where the lovers have seized power,” writes Danish poet Morten Sondergaard in his fanciful poem “The Lovers.” “They have introduced laws decreeing that orgasms need never come to an end. Roses function as currency … The words ‘you’ and ‘I’ are now synonymous.” A world like the one he describes is a fantasy, of course. It’s impossible. But I predict that in the coming weeks you could create conditions that have resemblances to that utopia. So be audacious in your quest for amorous bliss and convivial romance. Dare to put love at the top of your priority list. And be inventive!

| COMMUNITY |

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Many of America’s founding fathers believed slavery was immoral, but they owned slaves themselves and ordained the institution of slavery in the U.S. Constitution. They didn’t invent hypocrisy, of course, but theirs was an especially tragic version. In comparison, the hypocrisy that you express is mild.

Nevertheless, working to minimize it is a worthy task. And here’s the good news: You are now in a position to become the zodiac’s leader in minimizing your hypocrisy. Of all the signs, you can come closest to walking your talk and practicing what you preach. So do it! Aim to be a master of translating your ideals into practical action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) In the Inuktitut language spoken in northern Canada, the term iminngernaveersaartunngortussaavunga means “I should try not to become an alcoholic.” I encourage you to have fun saying that a lot in the coming days. Why? Now is an excellent time to be playful and light-hearted as you wage war against any addictive tendencies you might have. Whether it’s booze or gambling or abusive relationships or anything else that tempts you to act like an obsessive self-saboteur, you have more power than usual to break its hold on you—especially if you don’t take yourself too seriously.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) According to an ancient Greek myth, Sisyphus keeps pushing a boulder up a steep hill only to lose control of it just before he reaches the top, watching in dismay as it tumbles to the bottom.

After each failure, he lumbers back down to where he started and makes another effort to roll it up again—only to fail again.

The myth says he continues his futile attempts for all eternity.

I’m happy to report, Leo, that there is an important difference between your story and that of Sisyphus. Whereas you have tried and tried and tried again to complete a certain uphill task, you will not be forever frustrated. In fact, I believe a breakthrough will come soon, and success will finally be yours. Will it be due to your gutsy determination or your neurotic compulsion or both?

It doesn’t matter.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have permission to compose an all-purpose excuse note for yourself. If you’d like, you may also forge my signature on it so you can tell everyone that your astrologer sanctified it. This document will be ironclad and inviolable. It will serve as a poetic license that abolishes your guilt and remorse. It will authorize you to slough off senseless duties, evade deadening requirements, escape small-minded influences and expunge numbing habits. Even better, your extra-strength excuse note will free you to seek out adventures you have been denying yourself for no good reason.

| cityweekly.net |

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The Venus de Milo is a famous Greek statue that’s more than 2,100 years old. Bigger than life size, it depicts the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. Its current home is the Louvre Museum in Paris, but for hundreds of years it was lost—buried underground on the Greek island of Milos. In 1820, a farmer found it while he was out digging on his land. I foresee a comparable discovery by you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You will uncover a source of beauty, love or pleasure—or perhaps all three—that has been missing or forgotten for a long time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) In the last two decades, seven Academy Award winners have given thanks to God while accepting their Oscars. By contrast, 30 winners have expressed their gratitude to film studio executive Harvey Weinstein. Who would you acknowledge as essential to your success, Libra? What generous souls, loving animals, departed helpers and spiritual beings have contributed to your ability to thrive? Now is an excellent time to make a big deal out of expressing your appreciation. For mysterious reasons, doing so will enhance your luck and increase your chances for future success.

FANTASTIC MASSAGE

L

ast week, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed love and upheld Judge Shelby’s ruling that overturned Utah’s discriminatory marriage ban. The panel of three judges became the first appellate court to rule on the freedom to marry since the fall of D.O.M.A and Prop 8 last summer. One judge on the panel broke the winning streak by breaking with his colleagues and voting to uphold Utah’s marriage ban in a 2-1 decision. Opponents to this issue dug in their heels, but while they spewed hate, our community celebrated love again.

Judge Shelby’s ruling on December 20th, 2013 felt good. For the first time, loving and committed gay couples in Utah could get married. But this ruling felt different. It felt better. For the first time, that ruling affirming our love was upheld. Everyday, more people join the growing number of voices fighting for equality. I’ve believed love would win from the very beginning.

But this makes that possibility seem closer and more real than ever before.

After the ruling, Governor Herbert said he was disappointed by the 10th Circuit’s decision, but that he’s looking forward to a Supreme Court decision to bring finality on this issue. Yet the reason we don’t already have finality is because people like our governor keep fighting love. They keep spending time and taxpayer money fighting our families. That sends a very clear message to our children that they have less value than children of straight couples.

That message isn’t undone with a court ruling or the decision by our leaders to respect the law after the right to marry is affirmed once and for all.

If our leaders want to send a better message, they can support housing and employment protections and better, stronger anti-bullying legislation. And they can show compassion toward homeless youth and finally change the law that leaves kids on the street because they can’t stay overnight in homeless shelters.

Our movement is complex and there are several issues that aren’t settled by the freedom to marry. I know how good it feels to have love affirmed and families recognized, but when this fight is settled, our community needs the same commitment and drive to end that discrimination as we’ve had for the marriage fight. It is clear that our leaders won’t end legal discrimination of LGBT people on their own.

With the steady hand of an organized, committed community, we can end codified discrimination of LGBT in Utah. n

I constantly think about cheating on my boyfriend of three years. With anyone and everyone.  My family in Idaho thinks I go to church every Sunday but I am usually sleeping off a hangover or getting back from Vegas. Good thing they dont know my bishop. n I have fantasies about having sex with my cousin n Every time I go to church I think about getting up in front and then start to take off my cloths just to see how long it would take someone to stop me. Anyone want to come with me next Sunday to record it?

appy Fourth, everyone! I heard on the news that 41 million Americans will hit the road this weekend to seek out fun, family and photos. The rest of us will do a staycation or work, right?

The big show for pyrotechnic fans is BYU’s “Stadium of Fire” in Provo at Cougar stadium and in the capitol city, it’s Sugar House Park.

If you are planning to see the Sugar House show, you might drive by a tiny city park on the corner of 1700 South and 500 East. This is the First Encampment Park and where a group of Utah Pioneers—109 men, three women and eight children— camped on July 22, 1847. It’s hard to visualize this big group camping there because everything around has been long developed. Yet Parley’s Creek runs under the streets in the neighborhood, so that’s probably why the pioneers decided to camp there so long ago.

The boulders in the park have the names of the original campers etched into them and to me, it feels a bit like gravestones, although no one’s buried there. The rocks have been placed carefully and represent our mountains and the creeks and pathways that come out of our hills. A clerk to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young was one of the campers and wrote in his journal: “We descended a gentle sloping table land to a lower level where the soil and grass improved in appearance…The wheat grass grows six or seven feet high, many different kinds of grass appear, some being 10 or 12 feet high-after wading through thick grass for some distance, we found a place bare enough for a camping ground, the brass being only knee deep, but very thick; we camped on the banks of a beautiful little stream.”

The group moved on to downtown where City Creek waters were clear and sweet and thus downtown Salt Lake City grew around the ready and available water. We grew so much from those pioneer days that City Creek was also put underground so streets could be built. The “creek” in City Creek Mall is fake and the only evidence of the creek is actually up the canyon of the same name. This urban pocket park was dedicated in 1997. Check it out sometime when you’re jogging or biking by this historic site. n
