Letters A Different Kind of Toxicity

I am a mechanical engineer here at Hill and started working here when I got out of school 4.5 years ago. I am in the same organization as the subject of your article “Broken Wings” [July 10, City Weekly].

I feel that I have a perspective that is uniquely unbiased.

I am not a maintainer on the floor, but I work with them.

I am not a supervisor, but I work with them. Your article really struck a chord with many folks. Every person I have heard discussing it (shop mechanics and supervisors) have all said the same thing: The article missed the mark in many ways. There is a whole other side of the story that is not told. You have only spoken to a small handful of very disgruntled employees.

When I started here as a young engineer out of college, I quickly realized there is a toxic culture here on base. But not the one you described.

Every building is filled with self-entitled employees who have spent a career figuring out how to work less and less and complain more and more. Managers have no authority and no mechanisms to enforce accountability.

It takes years to fire someone because there are so many rules and hoops to jump through. A first-line supervisor has the worst job on base; they spend all day dealing

Folks intentionally don’t work hard all week, take 10 smoke breaks a day, and then demand overtime on the weekends. If overtime is turned down, or if a supervisor ever tries to stop these and other abusive practices, then they are lambasted, like the subject of your article did to his supervisors.

Some guys are mad that they have had the same job for 20 years and others are moving up the chain, instead of realizing, “Hey, I don’t have a degree and have done nothing within the Air Force to advance my career.” They blame all their problems on others. And management is the easy target.

You owe it to honest folks here at the base to learn and tell the rest of the story. I have worked in the private sector, and if an employee acted even close to how the subject of “Broken Wings” acted in his career, he would have been justly fired years ago.

The cure to unhappiness and depression here on base is for folks to start being accountable for their own work, actually working hard, and stop blaming others.

Well, What’s the Point of Paratransit?

I hope you’ll never need paratransit. If you can’t stand, walk, scoot without being harmed, or be out in the heat, you are in trouble here in SLC. That’s because UTA uses a curb-to-curb system to deny you access. They bought large buses. Now they’ll tell you that they can’t take these buses all sorts of important places. The streets are too small, or they don’t make bus drivers do three-point turns in lots, or a parking lot with five buses in it has an egress issue.

So you are screwed unless you can take a wheelchair cab every where you need to go. You won’t be counted, because as they say, it isn’t a denial of service just because you can’t get to the designated stop.

Isn’t that the point of paratransit?

OPINION

Snot Thoughts

Please don’t hug me.

Unless quite drunk, I’m just not a hugger.

After Robin Williams’ apparent suicide Monday, Twitter was full of people saying things like, “If you know someone who’s depressed, hug them! Love them! Don’t let this happen to them!”

But like practically any topic, depression and suicide is something that takes more than 140 characters or a hug to fix.

I have an incredibly loving family, many fabulous friends and a job that’s a dream come true. I could have 100 hugs a day if I wanted them.

None of that stops me from being depressed.

I’ll preface this by saying that I usually don’t go around telling people I’m depressed.

This wasn’t my first choice when I recently decided that I should be writing columns.

I did figure that mental health would be a topic—but not for a long while. Maybe someday, when my depression is a funny story from my past, the time before I figured out why it was happening and how to end it.

But that implies that there’s some kind of logic to depression. And there’s not.

Why waste the words, then? Because more than one person died this week because of a mental illness. In fact, in Utah, more than one person dies as a result of suicide every day.

Despite those statistics, there are still plenty of people—nice people, kind people— who can’t accept that depression exists.

It’s a choice, or a silly misunderstanding of basic human emotion—you’re just sad!

Everyone gets sad! Just make the choice to get out of bed, to be happy instead.

If only it were that simple. They are right about one thing, though, when they say, “It’s all in your head!” It is. So is everything—love, joy, how we see the color blue.

We understand those experiences—or we pretend to, at least. I’ll be honest and say that I don’t understand cancer—not its biology and not what it’s like to have it. But I know it’s serious, partly because people

I know and love have gone through it.

Humans are jerks like that—we often need to walk up and peer closely at the carnage before we can begin to grasp the severity, the realness, of what’s happening.

If you’ve never experienced depression and neither has anyone close to you, you may just be lucky (in this respect, at least).

But try looking a little closer at the people you know. I don’t have a special depressedperson badge that I wear, and even when I’m in the deepest throes of it, I laugh and smile and try not to let my symptoms get all over other people—just as I cover my mouth when I cough and attempt to blow my nose unobtrusively. I’m not necessarily ashamed of being depressed—it’s just weird to talk about. It’s personal, and not all that pretty.

It’d be like bringing my used tissues to a party so everyone can examine my snot.

And that’s basically what I’m doing now, even though I’m scared to death about my co-workers and casual friends reading this column. Still (and I won’t extend the snot metaphor further; you’re welcome) it helps to have the conversation.

A girl in my neighborhood growing up had depression and was open about it—a rare thing in very normal, very Mormon Layton. It would be overstating it to call her a friend, because she was a grade ahead of me and popular and pretty and fun and I was none of those things. But it was her openness and kindness during latenight sleepover conversations that made shallow junior-high-era Rachel Hanson realize that even cool, funny people can be depressed, that I wasn’t cursed with these feelings because I wasn’t pretty or had some abhorrent flaw in my character.

And now, 14 years after she helped me find the courage to tell my mom that I needed to see a doctor, her occasional Facebook posts about depression help still-shallow Rachel Piper feel a little less alone.

A conversation with a dear friend just a year or so ago is what finally persuaded me go see a doctor and get back on my medication, which I’d been trying to live successfully without for 10 years—and failing, despite many, many hugs and an endless supply of love and support.

BY RACHEL PIPER @racheltachel

The pills I take aren’t magic. But, in conjunction with running, and getting sleep, and talking to people—all things that would be harder and less effective without the medication—they help with the symptoms and make me see that my life isn’t completely meaningless.

Most of the time, at least. Sometimes, despite all the love and opportunities in my life, I wake up in the morning with the words “I hate myself” whipping through my brain in an endless refrain. Sometimes I still want to hurt myself. And sometimes, I miss feeling depressed. Being depressed is like being wrapped in a protective blanket that buffers me from other humans and their feelings, and keeps me in a place that’s deeper and more meaningful.

But that’s stupid. I know it’s a good thing that the moments of “wishing that nothing loved me so I wouldn’t feel obligated to keep existing” (a feeling Allie Brosh described so well in her book Hyperbole & a Half) are fewer when I’m taking my pills. I found what (mostly) works for me, and not everyone does. Although I’ll never be done with depression, I am one of the lucky ones.

There’s no single weapon—positive thinking, faith, shock treatment, yoga, medication, hugs—that can vanquish depression on its own. And the 1,089 words in this column aren’t going to go any further to “cure” suicide than the 140 characters in a sad tweet about Robin Williams. But if this wordy conversation does anything, I hope that it will make depression seem less baffling, less foreign and strange.

I don’t need your pity; I don’t want a hug.

(No, really, don’t hug me.) But depression needs to be acknowledged—and respected, because it’s a powerful, tricky opponent that’s bigger than us all. Still, our individual battles against it are worth fighting. I know that, because I’m here, writing this column, and today, I feel happy about that. CW Visit NAMIUt.org for mental-health resources. Call the University Neuropsychiatric Institute crisis line (801-587-3000) for emotional support and referrals. If you’re contemplating suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

What are your thoughts on the death of Robin Williams?

Paula Saltas: Very heartbroken and devastated to hear this news. He always made me laugh. Losing him to depression should teach us all to be able to talk about this topic in the open more. Peace and comfort to his family.

Jeff Chipian: As Robin Williams stated so perfectly in Good Will Hunting: “You don’t know about real loss, ’cause it only occurs when you’ve loved something more than you love yourself.” I personally didn’t realize the influence he had on my life until now. You begin to remember all the movies he was in and all the powerful lines he gave us. Williams was a huge part of my childhood and helped create the person I am today. Second star to the right.

Straight on till morning. Welcome back to Neverland, Pan the Man.

Scott Renshaw: The death of any artist or performer often simply reminds me how powerfully we feel connected to those whose work makes us laugh, or cry, or think at all about being human. The sad circumstances in this particular case warrant their own honest, serious discussion; for now, I honor and respect the work left behind.

Colin Wolf: This is the first time I’ve been this upset about a celebrity death.

As a kid, I always made this weird connection between Robin Williams and my dad—they kind of look alike and they’re both incredibly funny, kind people. I feel like a massive part of my childhood was just ripped away.

Kolbie Stonehocker: Aladdin and Hook were two of my favorite movies when I was a kid, and they wouldn’t have been the same without Robin Williams.

HITS&MISSES

by Katharine Biele

FIVE SPOT

random questions, surprising answers

@kathybiele

@CityWeekly

Books & Business There goes another small, independent bookseller.

Maybe we should rephrase that: There goes another small, independent business, and here come the big developers. First noted in City Weekly, Ken Sanders is facing a move after 17 years of renting his space on 200 East and 300 South. Sam Weller’s Books has already made the move from downtown to Trolley Square, changing its name, size and, ostensibly, some of its loyal clientele. This is a specialty market—old and rare books—that Weller and Sanders have managed to sustain. The hope is for a new home for Sanders. Meanwhile, the vision of Ivory Homes developing downtown is terrifying. This is not to diss Ivory Homes, but since the development death star hit Sugar House, the little guys in the area have been supplanted by shiny chains.

Back Seat Driver Not to sound like a Tea Partier, but at what point does Salt Lake City stop its fee-for-lack-of-service model and begin helping its citizenry? While Utah has joined the nationwide phenomenon of smartphone-based rideshare, it has also joined the national hysteria that comes with new and unexpected competition. The city has begun fining Uber and Lyft drivers up to $6,500 because David Everett, Mayor Ralph Becker’s chief of staff, says, according to The Salt Lake Tribune, “We want to make sure that people are insured and they have a vehicle that meets our safety standards.” Good one, Everett.

As QSalt Lake publisher Michael Aaron Green says, “Salt Lake Cit y Corp. should embrace this new service.” But they won’t until they figure out how to tax it.

In Their Shoes It was real nice for Rep. Jason Chaffetz to host a Democrat like Maryland’s Elijah Cummings. A f ter seeing Baltimore, Chaffetz got to show off the red-rock wonders and pristine vistas of Utah—but not without political hype. It was really about showing the Dems that Utah needs to control its federal lands, and boo-hoo, the danged presidents can come in and just designate our red-rock wonders as national monuments. While Chaffetz rides into Utah’s fracking future, we hope that cooler heads prevail—even those surrounding Rep. Rob Bishop, who is seeking a resolution. At least Chaffetz didn’t invite Cliven Bundy.

Nancy Silberkleit is the co-CEO of Archie Comics and also has one of the biggest collections of Archie memorabilia, which she acquired not from the company storage unit but during years and years of scouring antique stores and bidding in online auctions. Earlier this year, she set up her collection as an exhibit in the Mamaroneck Public Library in New York, and it’s now traveled to the Salt Lake City Main Library (210 E. 400 South, 801-524-8200, SLCPL.org), where it’s on display on Level 2, along with an Archie journal, where people are encouraged to write their memories of Archie.

What are the benefits of collecting?

We hear about stop bullying, stop bullying, with the emphasis on tolerance, inclusion.

But what about when it happens to you? What do you do? If a person can get involved in something, if they ever happen to encounter behavior like this, it can help them. But people have passions for things, and people collect all sorts of things, and if you think about bringing it to another level of organizing it, and sharing it ... to become knowledgeable about anything, what happens is, you have confidence. It empowers you to have some self-respect. When people are targeting you to try to define you as something they want you to be, hopefully a light bulb will go on in your head. “I’m not that. I know about this. I’m an expert on this.” Or “I play sports” or “I sing beautifully.” When you think that you can show people things that you take pride in, and you have knowledge on, it builds confidence. I’d like to put that out there to people—caregivers, teachers—to think about getting people interested in something.

Why did you let your collection out into the wider world?

I started hearing the feedback from the exhibit at the library in Mamaroneck, about how people enjoyed it and were engaged in conversation, and reminiscing. I love to hear from people around the world about how Archie impacted them. Archie seems to be part of childhood. A childhood would not be complete unless they had experienced Archie comics. Archie has been with us for seven decades, only because the conversation of people.

It’s the conversation of people that have propelled the brand. It comes up time and time again, with men or women, with an 8-year-old or an 80-year-old. It’s ageless—are you a Betty, are you a Veronica, are you a Jughead. These characters are fantasy, but they’ve taken on a life because people see themselves as part of Archie and the gang.

I spoke to Michelle Obama in a meet-and-greet line and told her what I did. She stopped and talked about Archie for so long. Imagine, the first lady had gotten lost in the moment and regressed back to Archie and the gang. She was beaming.

Who’s your favorite Archie character?

My answer usually is Mr. Lodge. But I’ve branched out with my favorite character—it’s Mr. Lodge’s daughter, Veronica. I think Veronica gets shortchanged. She’s looked at as a spoiled character, sort of self-centered, but I see Veronica as much deeper than that. She has the CIA in her—confidence, intelligence and allure. I enjoy when she’s positioned with her father, because it’s often in a business format. And she is always able to advise her father on ideas. She would be a very successful businesswoman, and would clearly be able to step into her father’s footsteps. Sometimes she is on the outs with her Riverdale friends, but she knows who she is—she has a good mind for business and doesn’t let the negative get her down. She will get things done, even with the roadblocks that may face her. And she does it all with charm, creativity and allure.

STRAIGHT DOPE All Tied Up

BY CECIL ADAMS

Why does placing strands of any material in an enclosed space (as thin as a gold chain in a jewelry box or as thick as a heavy rope in the bed of a pickup truck) almost inevitably result in a tangle of knots? Are the strands engaged in some sort of secret orgy? Is this proof of chaos theory? Or string theory? Or chaotic string theory?

—Shonda, Quebec A simple question, no? The answer, however, is a bit of a snarl. Patience, we’ll get this untangled soon enough.

1. To a scientist or engineer, knots and tangles are of nontrivial interest. The hours you waste untangling necklaces and Christmas lights are the least of it. A knot can reduce a rope’s strength by up to 50 percent. A knot in the umbilical cord can result in fetal injury or death.

2. You might suppose mathematics would offer some insight. You’d be wrong.

Knot theory, it’s true, has been the object of keen interest for more than a century.

However, except for a few mavericks, knot theorists have defined their field to exclude all items of practical relevance. The classic mathematical knot is a closed loopthat is, the knot having been tied, the string ends are then joined together, so that the knot may be preserved and studied.

3. In the real world, in contrast, the string ends usually are loose. As one of the aforesaid mavericks puts it, the knots typically form in “a randomly agitated length of free-ended rope.” The goal isn’t to preserve the knots, but to make them go away, or prevent them from forming in the first place.

4.

Recog nizing that k not classificationdefining, in rigorous mathematical terms, exactly what kind of mess you’ve got thereis hardly the top priority of anyone contemplating a snarled extension cord, a few upstarts have taken a stab at investigating knot formation. For example, physicists Dorian Raymer and Douglas Smith, in “Spontaneous Knotting of an Agitated String” (2007), report on a series of experiments in which ropes of varying length were tumbled at varying speeds in boxes of varying size for varying lengths of time. As you’ll appreciate, Shonda, this is a fair approximation of the real-world situation you describe.

5. At first glance the results don’t seem particularly illuminating: “Complex knots often form within seconds,” Raymer and Smith write. In other news, sun rises in east, pope Catholic.

6. On closer examination, things get more interesting: “Above a critical string length, the probability ... of knotting at first increased sharply with length but then saturated below 100 percent.” In other words, the longer the string, the more likely it was to get tangled. Butand this is the point of importanceit didn’t always get tangled.

7. Key insight: although “numerical studies of confined random walks” (to oversimplify, analyses of the propensity of a simulated randomly turning string to

SLUG SIGNORINO

form knots) suggest the more confined the space, the greater the likelihood of knotting, Raymer and Smith’s real-world experiments found the opposite the smaller the box, the better the odds the string would get wedged against the sides and remain untangled.

8. Enter engineering professor Robert Matthews of Aston University, U.K. We at the Straight Dope have had no contact with Bob beyond reading a paper of his we found online called “The Spontaneous Knotting Problem: Are Loops the Answer?”

Nonetheless, we state unequivocally: This is our kind of guy.

9. In his paper, from which much of the information in 1 through 3 above was drawn, Matthews tactfully acknowledges scientific scrutiny of knots and knotting has been pretty useless, and pointedly says his goal is to identify ways to reduce knotting. He offers the following propositions: n The longer the string, the closer the odds of tangling get to certaintyin other words, knotting is a fundamental law of the universe. n The shorter the string, the lower the oddsduh, but bear with me. n A simple way of reducing the length of a string is to connect the free ends (i.e., making a loop) while it’s in an unknotted, unagitated state, thereby both taking the troublesome ends out of play and effectively cutting the length in half. n Experiments indicate that, for string lengths up to two meters, looping likewise cuts the odds of tangling in half.

10. Cynics will now object: any birdbrain knows the way to prevent a rope, cord, etc., from tangling is to coil it and then cinch the coils (or, per Raymer and Smith, put the coiled rope in a small container) before storage. True, but the world is full of birdbrains. If all they learn is to connect the ends before tossing the string in the box (which, in the case of Christmas lights, merely means plugging one end into the other), they’ll reduce their problems by ... well, maybe not half. (A string of Christmas lights is typically longer than 2 meters.) But a lot.

NEWS Light on Power

TA X E S

Former board members and a taxpayers association question lack of transparency of Heber power company.

By Colby Frazier cfrazier@cityweekly.net @colbyfrazierlp Political agitation and upheaval aren’t widely associated with the Heber Valley, a picturesque and mountainous small town synonymous with cowboys, ranching and the state’s last historic railroad.

But the Wasatch Taxpayers Association website suggests otherwise. The group has in its cross hairs the local school district, a public utility, special-service districts and all of the area’s municipalities.

While a key focus of taxpayers associations across the country is to oppose new taxes, the effort in Wasatch County has sought to shed light on the gears of government that have grown accustomed to working in the shade. The focal point of these energies is the opaque dealings of the Heber Light & Power Company, which galvanized the formation of the taxpayer association and remains under fire by critics for its lack of transparency.

Its board of directors received a rebuke from the Utah Attorney General’s Office after voting in late 2011 to pay its members cash in lieu of health benefits they didn’t want or need.

Owned and operated by the communities of Heber, Charleston and Midway, the power company’s problems were a keystone issue in the 2013 election campaign of Heber Mayor Alan McDonald, who pledged to make “significant changes to the company and bring it back to sound and transparent government.”

But despite this increased scrutiny, or perhaps because of it, in June, the utility’s chief financial officer, Anthony Furness, was arrested and charged with a seconddegree felony for billing $50,000 in personal expenses to his employer. During the investigation into Furness, investigators discovered he was wanted in Canada on charges that he’d defrauded a power company there of $5,000.

Tracy Taylor, chair of the taxpayer association’s board, says she and her colleagues have their eye on the money trail. “And when you just keep track of the money the transparency and accountability and openness really hasn’t been there in Wasatch County,” she says.

Recently, calls for more transparency came from the utility’s own board. Upon their appointment to the board in February 2014, Heber City Council members Heidi Franco and Kelleen Potter, faced with con-

Members of the Wasatch Taxpayers Association, from left to right: Merry Duggin, Dennis Jensen, Chuck Zuercher and Tracy Taylor

sidering a proposed utility rate hike, began questioning what the company was doing with its revenues.

Initially, they sought salary disclosures from the utility’s top executive, asking to see how much money the general manager and general counsel were making before considering the rate increase. For months, their requests went unanswered. Eventually, though, the employee salaries—six of which are more than $100,000—were posted on the utility’s website. Then, Potter says, she began asking questions about other expenses, like the nearly $800 that expense reports show the company spent on hot chocolate and coffee in a single month.

“They were just spending money that didn’t seem appropriate or fair to the rate payers,” Potter says.

Because of these expenses, and some salaries that Potter says she finds excessive, she and Franco were able to defeat the rate increase. And a resolution sponsored by Potter and Franco that urged the city’s manager to review the utility’s expenditures and make recommendations on how it could be run more efficiently, was approved by the Heber City Council.

The culmination of these acts, Potter speculates, led to the removal in July of herself and Franco from the utility’s board.

Phone messages and emails seeking comment from McDonald, who tossed the council members from the board, were not immediately returned to City Weekly.

Joseph Dunbeck, general counsel at Heber Light & Power, declined to comment on the removal of Potter and Franco.

Taylor says McDonald removed the two women because they were demanding financial transparency.

“If they’re just asking for financial disclosures and that’s threatening the company, we’ve got a bigger problem here,” she says.CW

NEWS Parking Perks A Utah County state lawmaker, a lobbyist and others make the list for free airport parking.

By Eric S. Peterson epeterson@cityweekly.net @ericspeterson

| CITY WEEKLY |

AUGUST 14, 2014 | 13

Chief Chris Burbank; and D.J. Baxter, director of the Redevelopment Agency.

The last group of parking VIPs are those selected by Becker, including his former protégé and current Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams. It also includes some influential fliers likes Michael Allegra, the general manager of the Utah Transit Authority.

Lobbyist David Stewart made the list at Becker’s request. Stewart represents not only Salt Lake City but also, according to state lobbyist disclosure filings, clients ranging from EnergySolutions and privateprison giant Corrections-Corporation of America, to Equality Utah and the United Way of Salt Lake City.

Perhaps the most surprising name on the list is the staunch conservative Utah County lawmaker Bramble. Art Raymond, mayor’s office spokesman, says the reason Bramble obtained the parking perk was because Becker appreciated the Provo lawmaker’s hectic travel schedule, as Bramble is active in the National Conference of State Legislatures, an organization he was recently elected to lead as president. Besides t hat , Ray mond says, “he’s also a former colleague from [Becker’s] legislative time, and I believe Ralph helped coordinate an airport pass for Sen. Bramble because he has a very busy travel schedule.”

“I will be the national president of the Conference of State Legislatures, and that requires a significant amount of travel meeting with legislators and legislative leadership throughout the country,” Bramble says. Bramble says Becker asked if the pass would help, and says there’s nothing unusual about the support from the Democratic mayor, pointing out that his roles with the conference involve plenty of bipartisan work with lawmakers from across the country.

Bramble says that, for example, he’s presented information to Democratic lawmakers in Nevada about legislation he passed in 2005 allowing undocumented immigrants to use a driving-privilege card to drive legally in the state and pay into the insurance pool. Bramble says he’ll even present to the Texas Legislature about that bill in the near future.

Being able to fly with a little more ease, he says, helps out the whole state in his NCSL work.

“As an officer of NCSL, I’m also an ambassador for many of the things we’ve done in Utah that have a proven track record,” Bramble says. CW

Nothing heightens the late-to-catch-yourflight panic than fumbling with a ticket machine, zipping through an unending sea of cars while squinting for a free spot, then waiting for a parking shuttle before beginning the 500-meter dash to security and finally, maybe, your gate. And choosing to lessen the time crunch by parking in the terminal-adjacent garage is a nice way to ensure you’ll be in debt once you get home from your trip.

Free airport parking is a perk given to a select few—for the most part, members of city government, especially those who are affiliated with the oversight of the Salt Lake City International Airport. But a few free-parking recipients seem, at first glance, to be unlikely members of this jet-setting crowd— like Sen. Curtis Bramble, R-Provo, who obtained free air por t park ing thanks to a request from Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker.

Through an openrecords request, City Weekly obtained a list of the 40 people who are able to park for free at the airport. The list is divided among city department heads, the city council, the airport board and other groups. All nine members of the Salt Lake City Department of Airports Advisory Board receive free parking, including former city councilman J.T. Martin, Natalie Gochnour of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, and Wayne Holland, who is also the chairman of the Utah Democratic Party.

Key members of Utah government, such as all of Utah’s Congressional delegation, also enjoy free parking. House Speaker Beck y Lockhart, R-Provo, and Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, of the state legislature also made the list.

All members of the city council get free parking, along with Cindy Gust-Jenson, the executive director of the council.

All city department heads receive free parking, including Becker; his chief of staff, David Everett; Salt Lake City Police

When a subject is disassociated from its context, its component features become a subject all their own. That’s the approach photographer Stephen Seko takes for many of his compositions.

He displaces objects from their original contexts, making particular features the subject of the photograph. The subject, like a spiral within a seashell, is still recognizable; it is not totally abstracted. Seko simply focuses on the line and the pattern within the shell, creating a photographic semi-abstraction.

An unusual approach to landscape is found in “Tulip Fields.” Instead of the expected vistas and land features, we find four horizontally defined planes of color: bright canary yellow, deep crimson red, rich alpine green and a zone of muted gray. These areas have been captured as pure linear bands of color—less a literal landscape than a lyrical, harmonious abstraction.

Taken out of context, “Stairwell” (pictured) ceases to be a stairwell and becomes a dramatic rhythm of detached lines. The image is something more than a thoroughfare, evoking a progression from obscurity to clarity.

As with the shell and the tulip field, the viewer is aware of the image’s context, but Seko creates a new reality; it becomes a photographic subject distinct from the original. Individual parts might be appreciated for their own distinctive qualities, and seen for their essential beauty.

Beer is as old as the gods. In fact, ancient Sumerians believed the gods had their own head brewer, Ninkasi (a name that translates roughly into “lady who fills the mouth”). It is she who is said to be responsible for the oldest known recipe for beer, written into a clay tablet in cuneiform that comes across more like a prayer than a how-to guide. The last stanza reads, “Ninkasi, you are the one who pours out the filtered beer of the collector vat, like the onrush of Tigris and Euphrates.”

From such a poetic recipe has evolved the explosion of microbreweries and home brewing, where the potential ingredients are seemingly endless. Such variety has also led to the proliferation of beer celebrations, including our own City Weekly Utah Beer Festival. In just five years, this one-day affair has become a celebration of both local and international brewers—including some hard-cider vendors—augmented by great food and a slew of awesome bands.

For many attendees, such festivities are a simple way to imbibe their favorite beverages.

And for those more interested in the art of beer, the festival also provides an opportunity to sample seasonal brews and lesser-known varieties crafted by skilled brewmasters (see p. 31). Such masters of the craft can only dream of the day when their distinctive spin on the ancient art is preserved like Ninkasi’s recipe.

J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is one of the enduring classics of children’s literature, with its fantasy of eternal youth and a hero built from parts of several mythological and folkloric characters. And, lest we forget, there’s flying, which has made stage adaptations of the novel immensely popular with audiences, and allowed many actors and dancers to rise to fame.

Another reason Barrie’s classic endures is that there’s a depth to it that allows adaptations and re-examinations from multiple angles. Utah author Robert Easton’s new one-act play, Wendy Darling, picks up with the title character 10 years after the events of Peter Pan, addressing her difficulties connecting with the adult world. Not only is there the adventure with Peter that only she remembers, but Wendy also has a husband from whom she’s drifting apart, and it’s 1914, with Britain on the brink of war.

These are all classic story elements: war is always a signifier of massive change and frequently heralds the end of any lingering childhood innocence, which isn’t always a bad thing.

Sometimes, one has to leave the past behind, but not necessarily forget it.

Weller Book Works and Around the Globe Theatre Company are the co-sponsors of this staged reading, with J.C. Carter directing.

Art can provide social benefits in addition to aesthetic pleasures. That’s what not-for-profit arts organization Art Access is all about. Sheryl Gillilan, who took the helm as executive director three years ago, has put her own stamp on the organization’s mission, which sometimes has meant stepping outside the confines of the gallery space.

Art Access’ Drive-by Art project, which transforms a vacant building in Salt Lake City into an art project and temporary exhibition space, isn’t the first of its kind in the city. It follows in the footsteps of the 337 Project’s urban gallery at Neighborhood House a few years ago, and is the brainchild of Art Access and west-side resident and businessman Heneli Kaufusi.

Artists whose works will be showcased include Blue Critchfield, Eric Erekson, Zachary Franzoni, Tali Hafoka, Erica Houston, Jake Kongaika, Kristina Lenzi/Laurie Bray and Logan Sorenson.

Several pieces from Washington Elementary School students will also be included, by way of Art Access’ THRIVE project from earlier this year.

Drive-by Art aims to convert a property that is nondescript at best and an emblem of urban industrial blight at worst into a symbol of beauty, culture and creativity. And maybe even change the connotation of the words “drive-by.”

TRAVEL Soak Up the Sun Idaho’s Sun Valley shines in the summer.

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

S

un Valley Resort in Idaho has the expected mountain activities as well as more unique offerings, such as ice-skating outdoors in 80-degree weather, watching Olympic medalists perform under starry skies, learning how to shoot skeet, or listening to a top show in a concert hall. Best of all, Sun Valley, as well the surrounding Idaho towns of Ketchum and Hailey—not to mention a number of mountain ranges—are just a little more than a four-hour drive from Salt Lake City, or, for those who prefer air travel, a onehour flight to Hailey. Here’s how to make your trip to Sun Valley worthwhile.

Sun & Ice Slap on some sunscreen and enjoy the sun on your face as you hit the ice at the resort’s outdoor rink, open year-round. In the evenings, check out some fabulous ice shows with professional figure skaters under the open night sky. You can also enjoy a gourmet dinner buffet during the show at rinkside tables. Scheduled shows for late August include performances by Meryl Davis and Charlie White (gold medalists in Sochi) and Evan Lysacek (who won gold in Vancouver).

Straight Shooters Sun Valley was a favorite hunting area for Ernest Hemingway and celebrities like Clark Gable, who regularly visited during the 1930s and 1940s. Today, you can continue their age-old tradition at the Sun Valley Gun Club. Don’t fret if you don’t have any experience; this is your chance to learn. You can take lessons from an expert on how to shoot skeet and trap in the safe environment of an open-air gun range.

Golf for Non-Golfers

Sun Valley has three courses and 45 golf holes designed to challenge even the best golfer, but one of the most fun features is the Sawtooth Putting Course, an 18-hole course modeled after a similar course in St. Andrews, Scotland. Make no mistake, this is no mini-golf course where you hit the ball into a clown’s mouth and rejoice when it comes out for a hole-in-one. It’s 18 wellmanicured greens that let inexperienced putters—including kids—enjoy an hour or two outdoors in a glamorous setting.

A&E Birth of the Chairlift Sun Valley was the site of the world’s first chairlift in 1936, and now, more than 75 years later, you can get halfway up Bald Mountain in an enclosed gondola and ride the rest of the way on a chairlift. Rent a bike at Pete Lane’s Mountain Sports at the base and get a free lift ticket before enjoying more than 28 miles of trails, including riding down a trail with a series of switchbacks that drop more than 3,000 vertical feet. The shop is also the place to sign up for the Wheels & Wine Guided Bike Tour. Whether you’re a hiker or biker, you can put together some combination of getting up and down “Baldy.”

Village to Mountain Dining There are several dining options in the resort’s village area, including Konditorei, which offers on new twist on alpine food, like pumpkin spatzele with sausage. Stop by for a full meal or grab some fresh Europeanstyle baked goods to go.

Trail Creek Cabin, dating back to 1937, is a great place to have a drink and share small plates, such as house-smoked rainbow trout and elk-buffalo sliders, while enjoying the scenery and watching the creek babble by. You can also take in some spectacular mountain views while munching on great burgers by taking the gondola up to the historic Roundhouse, which sits mid-mountain.

When locals have friends come visit, they take them to The Pioneer Saloon—aka “The Pio” to locals—on Main Street in Ketchum. The steak dinners are especially notable and include baked potatoes that are close to the size of a football. Bet you can’t finish the Jim Spud: a giant potato sliced open and filled

with pieces of teriyaki Prime rib, grilled onions, cheese and anything else you want to throw in there.

Fall Fun

Although Labor Day traditionally marks the end of summer, there are still plenty of sunny days left in the Sun Valley area, and lots of celebrations to go along with them.

The Sun Valley Pavilion is an open-air arena with a tent covering that offers just the right balance of indoors and outdoors—a 1,500-seat arena with the capacity to seat another 3,000 people on a grass hill above.

Free concerts are offered throughout the summer; the next big event on the calendar is a visit from the Beach Boys on Sept. 9.

Foodies and outdoorsy folks will want to check out the Sun Valley Harvest Festival, Sept. 18-21, for a combination of culinary and natural delights. The Trailing of the Sheep Festival in the towns of Hailey and Ketchum happens Oct. 9-12 and celebrates the history and culture of the area with music, arts and culinary events focusing on lamb dishes. And what do you get when you combine cyclocross and Octoberfest?

Crosstoberfest! The 11th iteration of that event happens Oct. 17-18 and combines bikes and beers. CW

GET OUT

Run Like a Girl Ladies-only events provide a chance for working out to a different set of expectations.

By Katherine Pioli comments@cityweekly.net

F

or my boyfriend, carrying my skis to the top of the ridge was not an act of chivalry—it was a strategy. The faster we climbed, the more powder runs we took.

It’s not that it was a particularly grueling hike. It’s not that I was incapable of carrying my gear. I had hiked the ridge the year before while skiing with a girlfriend.

We’d taken our time on the way up, each carrying our own skis, stepping aside to let faster hikers pass, but we still got in two glorious runs that day, and I felt like a total badass. This time, I felt like a shmuck. Yes, my boyfriend could hike faster with both our gear than I could with just my pair of skis, but it was a walk of shame hiking behind my Sherpa/boyfriend while every other person around me humped the hill with their own stuff.

It’s not unusual during co-ed activities to have men actively seeking to shoulder (sometimes literally) the “burden.” From their perspective, I suppose, it’s a matter of efficiency and of winning. For a woman, it can lead to feeling and acting like a second-string, second-rate athlete.

That’s why, though I’m not about to give up on co-ed softball or pick-up soccer, I was thrilled to hear about two women-only sports events in the Salt Lake City area.

Both events are scheduled for the morning of Saturday, Aug. 16, requiring some tough decision-making.

Catching on to the trendy obstacle-race craze is Kiss Me Dirty (KMD), an untimed 5K that sends female participants sliding, running and climbing through a muddy racecourse. Instead of awarding competitors for their times, KMD gives awards for best costume, best team name and to the oldest participant.

The organizers of KMD—a touring race

that holds events across the country—have tried hard to design an event that supports women in multiple ways. Part of that effort is achieved by donating some of the proceeds to gynecological cancer research, and part by providing a race that empowers and encourages all women, not just the super-fit. From the looks of it, the obstacles—rope climb, wall jump, tube dash, mud crawl—are tamer versions of races such as Tough Mudder. There’s no barbed wire, no electric shocks or ice pits, no 15-foot high walls. If you want some good ol’ dirty fun and a sense of camaraderie, this is a good place to go. Additional information and registration can be found at KissMeDirty.com/salt-lake-city-ut.html.

The fourth-annual Utah Runner Girl 5K and Princess Run (for girls under 12) is locally organized, and involves much less mud. Runners start and end at Highland Glen Park (in Highland, located just past the point of the mountain in Utah Valley).

A “chocolate aid station” at the 1.5-mile mark and free massages at the finish line give some nice pampering touches to the race, which is timed and will have prizes for the top three finishers in each age group. Additional information and registration at UtahRunnerGirls.com.

It’s refreshing to see such events that empower women become more common.

During one of my recent recreation-league softball games, one of my female teammates stepped up to the plate to take her turn swinging. She didn’t have to. Because of the previous play, she could have walked straight to first base. Some of the guys on my team told her to take her base so that she could let the guy after her bat. But she didn’t listen.

“I came here to play tonight,” she said, and faced the pitcher.

When she walked back in the dugout, I gave her a big high-five. I was proud that she’d stepped up and played. It’s not always easy to stick up for ourselves, and it’s nice every once in a while to perform according to our own expectations instead of someone else’s. CW

The natural beauty of Utah’s national parks is legendary, captured in classic films and the work of inspired visual artists.

It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which those grand arches, spires and cliffs somehow become more majestic—unless it’s when they’re serving as a backdrop for performances by the Utah Symphony.

Beginning Aug. 11, Utah Symphony’s Mighty 5 Tour takes director Thierry Fischer (pictured) and the musicians on a weeklong excursion to Southern Utah’s five national parks. On Thursday, the orchestra sets up on the banks of the Colorado River, at Moab’s Red Cliffs Lodge. Friday finds them at Ruby’s Inn overlooking Bryce Canyon National Park, while Saturday wraps things up at Springdale’s Tanner Amphitheater against the cliffs of Zion National Park. It’s spectacle to hear accompanying the spectacle you can see.

Utah Rep & Silver Summit Theatre: August: Osage County Every unhappy family, as Tolstoy would have us believe, is unhappy in its own way. But there are unhappy families, and then there are families like the Westons, whose every gathering seems destined to dredge up the worst messes from their collective past.

Tracy Letts’ 2007 Pulitzer- and Tony Awardwinning play August: Osage County tells the story

of what happens when the members of this unhappy family come together at the family home in rural Oklahoma after its patriarch, noted poet Bev, goes missing. Bev’s pill-addicted wife, Violet, finds plenty of relatives coming for support— including her sister, and her three daughters and their families. But even possible tragedy isn’t enough to overcome the dark secrets between them—the ones that are out in the open, and the ones that could tear people apart.

Utah Repertory Theatre & Silver Summit Theatre co-produce this Utah premiere that also inaugurates a new west-side theater space.

Slusser Gallery Still Life & Trompe L’oeil Exhibition The Dutch perfected the art of still life in the 17th century, but ever since, people too often assume still-life works portray a limited subject, with a limited capacity to capture a broad spectrum of “life.” But this is where history has been mistaken; a better term for still life might be “distilled life”: a single moment, frozen in time, captured at its most heightened, most intense, most concentrated. The Still Life & Trompe L’oeil Exhibition at Slusser Gallery sets the record straight.

A standout piece of trompe l’oeil painting—a French expression meaning “fool the eye”—is Jason Wheatley’s “Metamorphosis Metaphor” (pictured).

This elegant piece captures so much essence of life. Ripe bananas are ready to be eaten, a Japanese kettle and cup are ready for serving, and a capricious monkey holds a brush as though he has painted the entire scene himself. The painting is only one part of a show of 25 such “distilled lifes.”

WEDNESDAY 8.19 Hale Centre Theatre: She Loves Me

| cityweekly.net |

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

Miklos Laszlo’s play Parfumerie is a strong candidate for “most influential play you’ve never heard of,” since it’s the source material for Ernst Lubitsch’s classic 1940 film The Shop Around The Corner, which in turn inspired the popular 1998 Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan update You’ve Got Mail.

In between the two film versions was the 1963 Broadway musical She Loves Me. The premise is timeless—a man and a woman are penpals, with romance brewing, little realizing that they are rivals in real life. Composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick’s catchy songs (“Vanilla Ice Cream,” the title song, “Tonight at Eight” and “Will He Like Me?”) made the show popular on both Broadway and London’s West End in its original 1963-’64 run, and just as popular in an early-’90s revival.

Close out the summer with what amounts to the theatrical version of an ice-cream cone on a hot day. (Danny Bowes) She Loves Me @ Hale Centre Theatre, 3333 S. Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, 801-984-9000, Aug. 19-Sept. 27, $16-$25.

have a cat. She’s a gray tabby named Curry. Curry loves curry. So do I. Why, you might ask, would I name a cat Curry? Well, funny story: When the still-to-be-named kitty was only about the size of my fist—and newly rescued from the Humane Society of Utah where, presumably, the only cuisine she’d known was kitten food—she expressed her newfound freedom one evening by leaping from the sofa onto my coffee table.

It was there that she first encountered the joys of curry. There were the remains of chicken curry I’d eaten for dinner, and my curious little kitty began lapping up the leftovers. Henceforth, she would be known as Curry the Cat. My cat has good taste. Her introduction to curry was via a plate I’d brought home from Curry in a Hurry. If you’ve followed this column through the years, you probably know my lust for Indian/ Pakistani curries—specifically the curries made at Curry in a Hurry.

Curry in a Hurry is smaller than some restaurant pantries or walk-in freezers, but don’t let the size fool you. This diminutive eatery packs a wallop in the flavor department.

The Nisar family—including matriarch Mona and her sons Yaser, Usman and Saifar—opened Curry in a Hurry in 1998.

It was, and still is, a family affair. “It’s very satisfying for me to feed my own family, but it’s not enough,” Mona says.

“I want to feed the whole community the same way.” It was also important that her family be able to work together, “because working together creates a strong family bond,” she says.

Mona’s usually in the tiny kitchen, while one of her sons dishes up delicious plates of curry. Eating at Curry in a Hurry, one feels like they’ve been invited to a family dinner, albeit one served on Styrofoam.

It’s part of the reason Curry in a Hurry has developed such a loyal local following over the years.

During most of those years, I’ve been trying to get Mona to share her recipe for the coconut-kissed chicken curry served at her restaurant. No dice. “You have to come to one of my cooking classes!” she said the other day. And I will. She teaches occasional Indian cooking classes at Gygi.

My favorite combo meal at Curry in a Hurry is a plate of the aforementioned chicken curry: tender, boneless morsels of chicken breast, bathed in a just-spicyenough bright-orange coconut curry and served with basmati rice, warm

Qaderi is a family business, launched 20 years ago at the Redwood Road location, and carries foods from 25 nations to satisfy your appetite and curiosity. You’ll find a huge array of oils, sauces, rice, flours, breads, teas, chutneys, relishes and veggies, plus a vast spice collection.

If you’re accustomed to chain grocery stores’ “international” sections, which take up only a few feet of shelf space, your mind will be blown. I saw rice and f lours I’d never heard of, in quantities that belong in food storage. There were veggies called chikoo, karela, methi and chana. I don’t know what they are, either, but if they’re in Qaderi’s dishes, I know they’re good.

The Redwood Road location—and soon the State Street store, too—has a restaurant inside that serves chicken biryani, bhindi masala, aloo gobi, kababs and kormas, among many other dishes.

All come with fresh naan, basmati rice and a drink.

The distance from Salt Lake City to Mumbai, India, is 7,618 miles. That’s a long way to go, but the journey to State Street or Redwood Road isn’t. And a trip to either location might awaken an adventurous spirit you didn’t know you had. CW

BEER, WINE & SPIRITS

How to Taste Beer Swirl, sniff, sip ... just don’t spit.

By Ted Scheffler comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

W

nose. Swirl the beer gently in the glass.

Given its carbonation, you won’t want to subject it to the beefy swirl you would with wine. Get your schnoz right down into the glass and take a good whiff. How does the beer smell? A beer’s aromas will tell you a lot about what’s in the glass. As with wine, smelling beer is a good way of identifying problems and flaws, as well as desirable beer characteristics.

For example, flavor compounds called esters are common in certain beers— aromas that might remind you of bananas or bubble gum—and they’re quite common in yeasty Hefeweizen beers. However, you wouldn’t want the esters to be overpowering, nor would you expect to find them in something like an English session beer. Similarly, butterscotch aromas in beer come from diacetyl, which is the same compound used to flavor microwave popcorn.

Most of the time, diacetyl is considered a flaw in beer, although low acceptable levels are sometimes found in Britishstyle ales.

Finally, get that beer onto your tongue. Try to identify

different f lavor components in the beer. Is it bitter? Earthy?

Are there fruity flavors? Smoke? How about grassy, herbal flavors? Zeroing in on the various flavors in different beers will help you begin to isolate the styles that you like the most.

As with wine, evaluating beer isn’t only about how it tastes, but also how it feels.

Different beer styles have different textures; think of the bubbly, effervescent feel of an IPA in the mouth versus a creamy porter or stout.

Finally, try beers with various foods. Similar to pairing wine with food, matching beers with your favorite dishes will open up an entire universe of fascinating partnerships and affinities. CW

ith City Weekly’s fifth-annual Utah Beer Festival just around the corner, my thoughts turn from wine—my usual libation of choice— to cold brew. Many who attend the festival are coming to taste the many crafted beers available, not just drink them. And tasting and evaluating beer isn’t so different from wine. The same principles apply, although it’s usually not expected that you spit beer out as you taste it.

In past years, I’ve had the good fortune to attend the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, sampling beers with experts such as Squatters founder Peter Cole and former brewmaster Jenny Talley. Talley is now the brewing operations manager at Redhook Ale Brewery, but while she was

at Squatters, she taught me much of what I know about tasting beer. By the way, Talley helps judge some of the competitions at GABF, so learning how to evaluate beer from her was quite a treat. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to enhance your beerfestival experience.

As with wine, your eyes come first in the “tasting” process. Look at the beer in a clear glass. Each style of beer has its own particular color and head. Get to know the different major beer styles, and begin evaluating a glass of beer by how true it is to that style. You wouldn’t expect an oatmeal stout to be straw colored, for example. Since beer runs the color spectrum from pale yellow (think Coors Light) to almost black (like schwarzbiers), color matters.

Is the beer clear or cloudy? A Czechstyle pilsner should be clear, not cloudy, and vice-versa for a beer like a Hefeweizen.

Also, pay attention to the head and the lacing it leaves on the side of the glass. An Irish stout such as Guinness will have a creamy-looking head with bubbles that are nearly imperceptible. In contrast, American IPAs will typically have rocky heads that look like craters and valleys once it begins to settle in the glass.

This steakhouse gets down to business with a simple menu and upscale atmosphere. The hormone-free Kobe beef comes from cows on an American farm, and is so tender it can be sliced with a butter knife—leading to the nickname “butter-knife beef.” Seafood is also popular here, especially the calamari and escargot appetizers. Jeffrey’s wine list showcases options from local wineries. 84 W. 200 North, Moab, 435-2593588, JeffreysSteakhouse.com

Pipa

Pipa is a stylish restaurant with a club atmosphere and an Asian tapas menu to fit the tone; it’s like stepping through your television into late-night anime programming.

There is more to Japanese cuisine than just sushi, and Suehiro has it in spades. Not that the raw fish and rice aren’t terrific—they are, and the nigiri portions in particular are generous and always fresh.

This food truck dishes up authentic Mexican street-style tacos at prices so low you can probably fund a meal from the change you’ve dug up from between your couch cushions (and Tacos El Morro is cash-only, so be sure to have that change on hand.)

Formerly called Lucuma, MIA Empanadas features empanadas and tamales with housemade Peruvian-style aji dipping sauces such as para los labios aridientes (“for burnin’ lips sauce”), aji primavera, amor sernano and huancaina. The real draw here, however, is the sweets, such as tres leches and pionono cakes, fangipane, tarts (premade or made-toorder), scones, dulce de leche and fabulous flan in three flavors: original, de queso (cheese) or chocolate.

S

ure, your regular order at the bar is great, but so are Utah’s countless seasonal beers. These are often the ones that the brewers themselves are most passionate about—recipes without as much commercial appeal, or whose ingredients are limited. When you’re at a brewery or bar, ask about the current seasonal offerings. Whether it’s a variation on a familiar flavor or a style you didn’t even know existed, you could discover your new favorite beer. Here are some of the state’s best offerings.

In 2013, Uinta started participating in the Ales for ALS program, which gives breweries a proprietary hop blend to use in beers whose proceeds go to research on ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Each brewery creates its own recipe to make use of the hops. Uinta came up with this hoppy wheat session beer, which marries the exciting bitters of an IPA with the full body of a wheat beer.

f you’re like many people, your first beer was a can of the cheapest suds from the grocery-store cooler, or a lukewarm plastic cup of keg slosh.

And for all too many people, that first beer is either the same beer they drink for the rest of their lives, or sets the stage for a lifetime of saying, “I just don’t like beer.”

If that sounds like you, it’s time to change the way you look at that beautiful drink.

City Weekly’s Utah Beer Festival, now in its fifth year, was never envisioned as a no-holds-barred drunk fest. Instead, it’s the place to discover beer’s amazing tastes and varieties. Not sure what you might like? Grab a sample of something that sounds good—maybe a rich, chocolate-y (yes, chocolate-y) stout or a fizzy, fruity saison. Not up your alley after all? Well, there are hundreds more to try.

People’s tastes in liquor and wine certainly matures and changes as they get older and the goal ceases to be attaining the cheapest and quickest route to drunkenness. And beer is no different. If you’re not sure where to start your education, this guide is a primer for the fest, as well as all of your beer explorations in the future. Utah has more craft brewers than you can shake a stein at—get ready to drink up.

Taste the Randall

On-the-tap flavor infusers are customizing the craft-beer experience even further.

I

f you think the modern craft-beer scene has already unearthed every flavor you could taste from a pint glass, you haven’t met Randall.

A Randall is a device that infuses beer with extra flavor between the tap and the glass. And it’s working its way into Salt Lake City’s beer scene, giving new twists to some of Utah’s favorite beers.

Two local bars are now doing weekly Randalls: Beer Bar on Tuesday evenings and The Bayou on Thursday evenings.

“It takes something you already know and it makes it more unique,” says Kyle Trammell, Beer Bar’s manager and a certified beer expert, via the Cicerone program.

“We’ve all had

[Uinta’s flagship beer] Cutthroat, but have you had Cutthroat passed through peaches? Have you had Cutthroat passed through orange peel and sage?”

The right infusion, he says, can emphasize different characteristics that you wouldn’t otherwise find in the beer.

Mark Alston, owner of The Bayou, says the Randall allows people to experiment with concepts and combinations that wouldn’t be feasible to brew in large batches. “It lets us bring out the crazy homebrewers in us and play around with odd ideas without restrictions,” he says.

The device also gives beers distinct characteristics. “By flavoring the beers through the Randall right before serving, you really do get an intensity of character from the added ingredients that you simply can’t get when using them in the brew,” he says.

The Randall started at Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales in Milton, Del., where Sam Calagione started infusing his beers with flavors from different hop varieties. “When it was first developed, it was just hops,” Trammell says, “but then—craft-beer nerds being craft-beer nerds—it was, ‘Let’s add as much random shit in there as we can.’”

By Jeremy Mathews • comments@cityweekly.net This has led to adventures like running fresh prickly pear through Desert Edge’s Utah Pale Ale, giving the beer a subtle fruity flavor without overpowering its hop characteristics.

Stationed among standard-size taps, the Randall seems a rather cumbersome contraption. It’s made up of two cylinders, one filled with the added ingredients that the beer runs through, the other filled with ice that surrounds the beer conduit. Both Beer Bar and The Bayou now use the same model Randall from Dogfish Head. The two-chamber cooling system solves the past issue of excessive foaming present in other flavor-infusers. “With our previous versions, we were literally pouring entire kegs down the drain to foam,” Alston says. “With the new one, we can fill a glass perfectly, albeit slowly.”

Trammell says that his favorite effort so far is Uinta’s Sum’r passed through elderflower and lemon peel. “It was really flowery and citrusy … perfect for summertime,” he says.

Alston singled out Desert Edge’s Happy Valley Hefeweizen, infused with roasted lemons and aged Earl Grey tea, as a Bayou creation he loved. “It was a surprising combo that worked very well,” he says. But The Bayou’s biggest hits have been spicier, he says. The best customer feedback went to its Randalls that featured jalapeño, as well as to Desert Edge Pub Pilsner passed through watermelon and habanero.

Alston and Trammell both say that local breweries have been positive about the modifications to their product. “It’s always going to be highlighting their product and what their product’s capable of doing,” Trammell says. “I always contact the brewery’s PR and text the brewer and say, ‘Hey, we’re using your beer tonight.’”

“I’m sure a few wonder what the hell we are doing to their creations,” Alston says, “but so far all the response has been positive.” Sometimes the brewers even get in on the action; in early July, The Bayou “pushed Annex’s Berliner Weiss through Pineapple and Mangos on the suggestion of the brewer,” Alston says.

Alston says that while not all of his Randall endeavors have been perfect, “I will say that every

single one has been quite unique.” The nature of Randalls means that things will always be a little unpredictable, even over the course of one night.

“If we sell five in a row, the first will taste different than the fifth. I think that this is just part of the fun in one-off beers.”

Many Salt Lakers are still foreign to the concept, but this facet of beer culture is becoming part of the local scene, one pint at a time. Regular patrons will visit the bars just to drink whatever’s on the Randall. (The bars’ Facebook pages announce the infusion the afternoon before it goes live.)

“I’ll get some out-of-staters that are passing through town, and they’ll see it and go, ‘Oh cool—Randall.’ And then in Utah it’s, ‘What is this interesting contraption?’” Trammell says.

“It’s very much the norm outside the state, so it’s kind of cool to help promote the industry here.” CW

New Brews

Two very different breweries are fermenting in Park City and Provo.

By Mike Riedel

comments@cityweekly.net

W

hen most folks think of Utah, the first thing that pops into their minds is beer— right after Mormons, polygamy, salt and Mitt Romney.

Sadly, people’s perception about Utah’s beers isn’t always positive. But that’s changing, thanks to local craft brewers. The Beehive State’s reputation in the national craft-beer community is improving, due in part to the finicky palates of local beer geeks. We know what we like, and brewers are happy to get on board and oblige.

Craft beer is exploding in every corner of the state, and so is the number of places making it. In the coming year, two new breweries are slated to open, adding to the 20 brewhouses currently making beer in Utah.

Here’s a sneak peek of what coming down the road.

Park City’s Schirf Brewing (Wasatch) was the first to bring Utah into the light and out of beer’s dark age, so it’s appropriate that one of our newest breweries hails from Silver Country. Mine Shaft Brewing founder Tim Nemeckay has an ambitious plan to not only make great beer in Utah, but also take on the entire craft-beer industry. His vision is to make a world-class brewery that will sell enough beer to put Mine Shaft brewing into the top 50 breweries in the country.

“Our goal is to brew over 60,000 barrels of beer in the first five years,” Nemeckay says. “On Day 1, our facility will have the capacity to reach that goal.”

That’s ambitious, to say the least. It took Uinta Brewing and the Utah Brewers Cooperative nearly two decades to reach that milestone.

“Our approach is going to be totally different,” Nemeckay says. “Of the 3,000-plus breweries out there, most get into the game to produce 1,000 to 2,000 barrels. We’re fortunate to have a great relationship with an investment bank; our plan is to enter the market big. If we want to be around after five years, we’ve got to be big, and we’ve got to do it quick.”

The brewery’s ambitious capacity isn’t the only thing that’s big about Mine Shaft. The diversity of the beer and the packaging is geared toward creating a huge demand from both national and local consumers. Mine Shaft will start with a large selection of ales, lagers and ciders in a wide array of packaging, including highvolume bottles, regular-size bottles and standard cans.

sometimescold attitude toward beer. “We don’t see any drawbacks and many, many positives,” he says. “Places like Colorado, with a huge number of breweries per capita compared to Utah ... makes Park City the perfect place to make a strategic move into a very competitive market. Millions of people visit this area every year, and that’s not counting those in Southern Utah. People will begin to take notice of what we’re about to do here.”

Mine Shaft Brewing is scheduled to open sometime in mid-2015.

On the other end of the brewing spectrum, both literally and figuratively, is the small threeperson crew starting Utah County’s first brewery since Prohibition. The mission of Maple Mountain Brewing Co. is all about small batches of beer made from locally sourced, mostly organic ingredients.

Co-founder Andrew Fullmer says that beer should not only be an alcoholic beverage, but also nutritious. “Americans are one of the few groups in the world that don’t see beer as they do in Europe—as a food staple with nutritional value,” Fullmer says.

“We want to bring that back to people’s attention.”

Fullmer says it’s all about “nurturing” the beer,

taking the time to do the little things like “sunbaking” the water. “What we do is remove the fluoride and the chlorine, and we ‘bake’ it for three days before we actually brew with it,” Fullmer says. “The water draws the sun’s energy, and we’ve noticed it makes a huge difference in the taste of the beer.”

Water isn’t the only thing that sets Maple Mountain’s upcoming brews apart. The brewers strive to do as much as they can with what Utah has to offer. “We can’t do everything that we’d like with local ingredients, but there’s enough that in many cases, we can make the beers regional, and that helps,” Fullmer says.

Provo has been receptive to Maple Mountain’s plans, Fullmer says. “We haven’t got our permit yet from the city, but everyone from the chief of police to the water department to the staffers in the city offices have been really helpful and haven’t given us much grief,” he says. “Things are moving right along, and we don’t foresee any problems. We hope to grow after the first six months, but do it at a pace that doesn’t take away from our hands-on approach.”

The brewery’s small-batch beers will be above 4.0 percent alcohol by volume and will be available in 22-ounce bottles at State Liquor Stores and at Maple Mountain’s future bottle shop.

If everything goes as planned, Fullmer says, they will be brewing in Provo by the first of November. “That way, we can have stuff in stores for the holidays.” CW

What’s On Tap

A guide to the salty beers, ciders, summer lagers and more that you can sip at the 2014 Utah Beer Festival.

C

ity Weekly’s fifth-annual Utah Beer Festival is here.

On Saturday, Aug. 16, more than two dozen brewers will gather around the Salt Lake City & County Building with scores of ales, lagers, pilsners, saisons, ciders and other quaffables. To quote a certain goose from Charlotte’s Web, it will be “a veritable smorgasbord-orgasbord.” You can head right to your favorite local or national brewer for full-size favorites or try a little of everything—because taste matters. Then, soak it all up with some good local grub.

Utah Brewers

(All beers 4% ABV unless noted)

Avenues Proper (Salt Lake City)

By Randy Harward • comments@cityweekly.net pilsner, Pub Pils. These are balanced with the lower-key yet still-striking Summer Kristalweizen and Centennial Steamer.

Epic Brewing & The Annex

by Epic Brewing (Salt Lake City) EpicBrewing.com, TheAnnexByEpicBrewing.com With a reputation equal to its name, Epic is a local favorite. Bolstering their presence this year is The Annex, a gastropub with its own brews.

This year, Epic showcases four high-point beerstwo from their Classic Series and two from the Exponential Series. Respectively, they are Pfeifferhorn Lager (5.3% ABV), Spiral Jetty (6.8%), Brainless Belgian (8.5%) and Brainless Raspberries (9.7%). For their part, The Annex has four standard four-percenters: The Annex Pale Ale, The Annex IPA, The Annex Wit and The Lauter Day Brewers Collaboration Brett Pale Ale.

AvenuesProper.com Utah’s smallest craft brewery will have a “Proper Choice” rotating tap. In addition, they’ll be pouring their flagship Proper Beer (a golden pale ale), Hopspital (an American Session IPA), and a Leipziger Gose called Gose the Gozerian. Remember folks, the Keymaster is an important part of your Beer Fest crew.

Bohemian Brewery (Midvale) BohemianBrewery.com The proprietors of Midvale’s esteemed brewery are of Czech descent, so it makes sense that they serve a bomb Czech Pilsner.

In addition, they’ll have a Viennese Amber, Bavarian Weiss and Cherny Bock for your pleasure. Alas, there will be no Chocolager. It’s seasonal, you see.

Bonneville Brewery (Tooele) BonnevilleBrewery.com Bonneville Brewery sits near the Great Salt Lake. (Insert lame Briny Bock joke here.) Their summer seasonal Sun Twist blends German pilsner malt and Chilean caramel malt with fresh ginger and lemon peel. Sounds refreshing, no? If not, check out their Redline Irish Red and Free Roller Pale Ale.

Desert Edge Brewery (Salt Lake City) DesertEdgeBrewery.com Brewmaster Chris Haas likes to brew “aggressive” beers. Naturally, we’re not talking about Colt .45, King Cobra or Double-Y Chromosome ’Roidbrew. By aggressive, Haas means “ultra-hoppy,” like his Utah Pale Ale, or the dry, malty and bitter Czech

Hoppers Grill & Brewing Co. (Midvale) HoppersBrewpub.com Hoppers brings the classic Bohemianstyle This Is the Pilsener, made with German “noble” hops and boasting a “nicely balanced finish.” The Hot Headed Redhead is made with caramel malts and Irish ale barley. The spicy, fruity scented seasonal uses malts from the Antwerp and Schelde River areas.

Moab Brewery (Moab) TheMoabBrewery.com The only microbrewery in Utah’s popular desert recreation destination, Moab Brewery is gaining traction throughout the state. In fact, you’ll find Johnny’s IPA and Squeaky Bike Nut Brown Ale, Rocket Bike Lager and Porcupine Pilsner in grocery coolers. Moab Brewery’s high-point offerings are Tripel, Black IPA and Export Stoutall of which measure at 8.59% ABV.

Red Rock (Salt Lake City) RedRockBrewery.com Red Rock’s 2014 team includes four-pointers Zwickelbier, Bamberger Rauch, Rye Pale Ale and Saison. The big guns are Golden Halo Blonde Ale (5.8%), Elephino Dipa (8%), 20th Anniversary Imperial Red (9.5%) and the second-most potent brew at this year’s festival: Drioma Russian Imperial Stout, which hits 10.10%.

Roosters Brewing Co. (Ogden and Layton) RoostersBrewingCo.com Roosters is Davis County’s biggest brewer. Its Diamondback Ale salutes the airmen at Hill Air Force Base and is made with toasted malts and

a Cascade hop finish. With six malts, Junction City Chocolate Stout is “not for the faint of palate.” Rooster’s UBF roster also lists Bee’s Knees Honey Wheat (6%) and Hellevation IPA (7%).

Squatters Craft Beers & Wasatch Brewery (Salt Lake City) UtahBeers.com, Squatters.com, WasatchBeers.com Two O.G.s in Utah’s craft-brewing scene unite to offer two selections from each side, plus four of their own. Wasatch’s Ghostrider (6%) is a white IPA brewed with coriander, and Black O’Lantern (6.5%) blends imperial stout with pumpkin beer. On the Squatters side are the “insanely smooth” double IPA Hop Rising (9%) and Wee Peat (5.6%), a smoky, peaty Scottish ale.

Separately, Squatters will show off its famous FullSuspension Pale Ale and Chasing Tail Golden Ale, as well as their Amber Wheat and Original Amber beers.

Wasatch will proffer its incredible Apricot Hefeweizen, Evolution Amber, Provo Girl Pilsner and Pumpkin Ale.

Uinta Brewing Co. (Salt Lake City) UintaBrewing.com Another Utah original, Uinta has the high score for ABV at the 2014 UBF. At 13.2%, you’ll easily get lost in the ultra-dark Labyrinth Black Ale. Curiously, at 6.4%, you’ll have to drink a lot of Birthday Suit Sour Brown Ale to unlock the corresponding attire. See also: 801 Pilsner (4%), Hop Nosh IPA (7.3%), Detour Double IPA (9.5%) and Cahoots II Saison (6%).

Wing Nutz: Nut Job Beer (Salt Lake City) BakedWingsAreBetter. com Smart business: If you’re in the wing biz, get into brewing. Wing Nutz has teamed up with Squatters and Wasatch to form Nut Job. They’ll have four brews on tap at the UBF: Over the Moon Belgian White, Jack Mormon Lager, Wing Man Pale Ale and Tree Hugger Organic Amber.

Vernal Brewing Co. (Vernal) VernalBrewingCompany.com Even way out in Vernal, you can get good craft beers—and, based on all the food porn (drooool) on their website, something to wash down with it. The names are simple: Peach Wheat, Pale Ale, Red Ale and Little Hole Lagerbut they sound as good as the food looks.

North American & International Brewers Anheuser-Busch InBev (St. Louis, Mo.) Ab-InBev.com Also known as the folks who bring you Budweiser, et al., this superbrewer will pour Stella Artois (5%), Hoegaarden (5%) and Lee Blonde (6.6%).

Boulevard Brewing Company (Kansas City, Mo.) Boulevard.com For a quarter-century, the (other) BBC has been “the Midwest’s home for fine ales and lagers,” such as 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer (5.5%), Tank 7 (8.5%), Double-Wide IPA (8.5%) and Long Strange Tripel (9.2%).

Deschutes Brewery (Bend, Ore.) DeschutesBrewery.com Deschutes’ brews are “GMO-free, and even vegan.” Indulge guiltfree in Deschutes River Ale, Fresh Squeezed IPA (6.4%), Mirror Pond Pale Ale (5%) and Chainbreaker White IPA (5.6%).

Diageo (England) Of the many name-brand beers Diageo offers, they’re bringing Red Stripe (4.7%), Guinness Extra Stout (5.6%) and Smithwick’s Irish Ale (4.5%).

Firestone Walker (Paso Robles, Calif.)

Diageo.com

Lagunitas Brewery (Petaluma, Calif.)

Lagunitas.com A Californian institution by way of “Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Walker Creek and the highlands of Quincy,” Lagunitas will have Lagunitas IPA (6.2%), Lagunitas Sucks (8%), Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ (7.5%) and Little Sumpin’ Extra (8.7%).

|UTAH BEER FESTIVAL |

Firestone makes nearly four dozen beers, including Union Jack IPA (7.5%), Wookey Jack (8.3%), Double Barrel Ale (5%) and Pivo Hoppy Pils (5.3%).

Miller-Coors (Chicago, Ill.) MillerCoors.com

Payette Brewing Company (Boise, Idaho) PayetteBrewing.com Named for a French Canadian trapper and Idaho legend, Payette will pour Rodeo Pale Ale (4%), Mutton Buster Brown Ale (5.5%), Outlaw IPA (6.2%) and Dry-Hopped Golden Ale (4%).

SamuelAdams.com Bearing the name and likeness of the American statesman and revolutionary thinker, they’ll wet whistles with Sam Adams Boston Lager (4.9%), Octoberfest (5.3%) and Rebel IPA (6.5%).

Festival Feast

Rub-a-dub-dub—get outta the way, I gotta get some grub.

By Randy Harward comments@cityweekly.net

G

luttony. It’s one of the seven deadly sins, and this God-fearin’ country’s favorite pastime. It helps fill that burrito-shaped void in our souls and gives us a bloated sense of achievement.

And hell, it’s just fun. Here’s a rundown of the eats at the 2014 Utah Beer Festival so you can map out your feasting.

Cupbop Co. Facebook.com/CupbobKoreanBBQ/info If you love noodle/rice bowls piled with mouth-watering grilled meat and vegetables as much as the author, you’ve probably chased down the Cupbop cruiser like a fat kid (read: the author) does (did!) an ice cream truck. Korean barbecue is the specialty here. It’s not terribly different from the usual rice bowls—except it is, like the difference between an ice-cream sandwich and a chocolate-chip-cookie icecream sandwich. Does anybody else hear “Turkey in the Straw” (and heavy footfalls) in the distance?

The Pie Pizzeria ThePie.com Ask anyone what their favorite pizza in Salt Lake City is, and the answer is almost always The Pie. One slice eats like a meal, and the Cheese Pull-A-Parts are ridiculous(ly delicious). There used to be one location; now there are four. As if that’s not enough, they’ve now gone mobile. And you know how pizza and beer and like that (*crosses fingers, flies away*).

City Dogs Vegetarian/ Vegan Street Vending Cart SaltCityDogs.com Are you disgusted by the actual contents of hot dogs? Actually, it’s not as bad as they say—unless you’re vegetarian/vegan. Then it’s nasty. And if carnivores think a veggie dog is disgusting … It’s not so bad. In fact, as with City Dogs, they’re downright dank. And you can even get veggie brats, ribs, Italian sausage and chili dogs here. And it’s all good. Real good.

Rubadue’s Saucey Skillet SauceySkillet.com Rubadue’s boasts that it can cater anything

from a Texas barbeque to a Roman banquet. For the beer festival, Carl Rubadue is firing up the food truck. Check out the menu: Alaskan red king crab cakes, a BLT on ciabatta with applewood-smoked bacon, pulled-pork sliders, cilantro chicken pesto (sandwich or salad), four-cheese macaroni and a vegetarian sandwich. Hmm … Wasn’t I just planning a Roman banquet?

Off the Grid OffTheGridSLC.com

little number that’s up to 44 times hotter than the jalapeño. Don’t panic—it doesn’t feel nearly as hot. You’re gonna love JK’s jerk chicken, jerk chicken wings, jerk pork and jerk burgers, which you can only get at festivals or if you hire them to cater your event. The side dishes are likewise appetizing: rice, beans, coleslaw, shoestring fries and (ssssslobber) sweet & spicy corn on the cob. If the spice hits higher notes than you can handle, Jamaica’s Kitchen also offers fresh watermelon or raspberry lemonade. (Or, I dunno, you can see if anyone on-site has beer.)

Waffle sandwich.

Intrigued? What if I told you they describe this yeastleavened beast as “wellrounded and edgy”? Oh, yeah. Flatbread wrap? Blue-corn taco? Choice of chicken, pork or baked tofu on everything? Four flavors for all of the above: chipotle mole, maplebalsamic barbecue, Buffalo blue and sweet chili. A grilled-cheese sandwich made with Beehive Cheese Co.’s espresso- and lavender-rubbed Barely Buzzed cheese? On waffles. With honey. Now, my only qualm is this whole “off the grid” thing. Someone put a tracker on this truck.

How’s this for all-American? The burgers here are made with three types of red meat—beef, buffalo and elk. (Not all together.) But two of the three blushing fleshes are leaner than beef, so don’t go hollerin’ “ ’Merica!” just yet. Or do, cause the AAG has three—count ’em!— different footlong menu items: hot dog, corndog, chili dog).

And three deep-fried sides (onion rings, mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers). Plus cotton candy.

Apollo Burger

MacCool’s Public House

ApolloBurgers.com

MacCoolsRestaurant.com

The Greeks make the best cheeseburgers. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. (Ball pit, you pick which McDonald’s— two men enter, one manchild leaves!) That’s all there is to say. Except you should get extra-crispy bacon and extra sauce on that thing. Maybe some pastrami. And some of those big, fat, finger-burnin’ fries to dip in that super-good fry sauce. With a gyro on the side. Extra tzatziki.

Oh, man. MacCool’s has unbelievable shepherd’s pie. But for the beer festival, they’re doin’ ribs! Signature, slowroasted lamb ribs—they roast ’em, grill ’em, toss ’em in a housemade barbeque sauce, then grill and glaze ’em again. Then they’re served with a buttermilk blue-cheese dressing (buttermilk tames that blue-cheese tang). Plus: house-baked Bavarian-style beer pretzels and English bangers with caramelized onions.

Banh Mi Time Vietnamese food isn’t just pho. Banh mi is a sandwich incorporating Vietnamese and French influences.

Woody Allen recycles old philosophical material in Magic in the Moonlight.

Emma Stone and Colin Firth in Magic in the Moonlight ultimately plays as a repudiation of that comforting spirituality, and a return to one of Allen’s most frequently recurring paraNietzschean thesis statements: that existence is meaningless, and only romantic love provides any point at all. It is, of course, a perspective that repeatedly defends Allen’s infamous “the heart wants what it wants” quote, and the frequency with which he has hammered at it in movie after movie over the course of 40-some-odd years makes it look more than slightly defensive.

Allen is too fundamentally competent a writer and filmmaker to make complete garbage, and too much of a legend for talented actors like Emma Stone—who’s appealing enough in a fairly standard-issue late-period Woody ingénue role—to be able to resist working with him. Yet it’s ironic that the primary knock on him tends to be that he’s not the filmmaker he used to be.

To the extent that he’s slipped, it’s because he’s spinning his creative wheels. He’s more or less exactly what he used to be—and that’s just not going to be good enough if he ever wants to change the conversation. CW

MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT

Nicolas Rapold puckishly observed that the premise involves “an older entertainer trying to prove that a young woman is lying.” And while it’s still unsettling watching yet another Allen movie in which the age difference between the romantic leads is approximately a generation, it’s also hard not to acknowledge that such an approach simply follows the standard Hollywood model for May-December relationships in which you better believe the dude is gonna be December, and maybe the girl is actually more early April.

But on a more rudimentary level, this is just a tedious slog of a movie to sit through.

Allen generally has two speeds—his frothy romps, and his more serious philosophical meditations—each of which has produced great work over the years, perhaps most often when he figures out how to combine the two. What little attempt at comedy there is in Magic in the Moonlight, however, feels utterly leaden, both because the typical Allen witticisms now often feel recycled, and because Firth seems like exactly the wrong actor to make them work—too solid and straightforward to come off like a wiseacre cynic.

And it’s even more frustrating as a treatise on a specific philosophy, because there’s absolutely nothing about that philosophy that’s new. The narrative takes a twist when Stanley becomes increasingly convinced that Sophie’s psychic gifts are the real deal, shaking his earthbound prejudices to the point where he actually prays when his beloved aunt (Eileen Atkins) is injured in a car accident. Yet Magic in the Moonlight

ruth may be stranger than fiction, but that doesn’t mean that truth is better than fiction.

As case in point, consider The Dog, Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren’s decade-in-the-making documentary about John Wojtowicz, whose robbery of a Brooklyn bank in 1972 to pay for his lover Ernie’s sex-change operation inspired the 1975 drama Dog Day Afternoon. Wojtowicz tells much of the story himself, through interviews conducted before his death from cancer in 2006. He’s quite a character, relating his life—from a neighborhood kid to a Vietnam vet to a gay-rights activist to a celebrated felon—with foul-mouthed frankness, while still often providing oncamera “direction” to make it clear he’s trying to drive this version of events.

The Dog definitely provides fascinating bits of trivia, including the fact that Wojtowicz ultimately paid for Ernie’s gender-reassignment surgery from the payment for the movie rights. But there’s a frustrating formlessness to the movie, throwing in information about Wojtowicz’s family history—such as his institutionalized special-needs brother— without a sense for how that footage helps inform the narrative. It’s comprehensive, but that doesn’t make it complete.

Sidney Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon, on the other hand, takes Wojtowicz’s single moment of infamy and crafts a riveting combination of crime procedural and kick-ass character study. Right from the “scenes of the city” prologue, Dog Day turns this incident into something that speaks to a particular moment in an edgy early 1970s New York City—a post-Stonewall city of people figuring out identities, and bubbling with antiestablishment anger and a nascent culture of exploitation media. Add in Al Pacino’s blistering performance as Wojtowicz surrogate Sonny—who swings astonishingly between anxious uncertainty and folk-hero bluster— and you’ve got a version of this story crackling with the energy that comes from understanding how dramatic truth can be its own worthy goal.

oody Allen. There: Now I’ve said all I need to say to let you decide whether you want to continue paying attention.

Those words may be as contentious as any in contemporary movie-fan circles—or at least on a par with “Marvel Cinematic Universe” or “Oscar-worthy,” albeit for completely different reasons. From the scandals and accusations in his personal life to his homogenous, hermetically sealed on-screen worldview to the widely varying quality of his recent work, there is no DMZ in a conversation that involves Woody Allen. His movies don’t just arrive with baggage; they’re an overhead bin that couldn’t possibly fit all the baggage.

Magic in the Moonlight is in many ways a paradigm for 21st-century Woody Allen cinema—and that’s perhaps also indicative of its biggest problems. Once again, he’s giving us a period-piece milieu, in this case 1928; once again, he’s taking us to a European location. And once again, he’s made his protagonist a misanthropic artist/entertainer. His name is Stanley (Colin Firth), though he performs as a touring stage illusionist under the name Wei Ling Soo. In addition to his theatrical performances, he also delights in acting as a debunker of fraudulent mediums and diviners of all kinds, intent on proving his conviction that there’s nothing beyond this world that isn’t trickery and/or wishful thinking. So when he’s informed by an old friend that a young woman named Sophie (Emma Thompson) is enjoying the patronage of a wealthy family in France while claiming to make contact with the dead husband of the matriarch (Jacki Weaver), Stanley is more than happy to take the job of exposing her as a fraud.

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

Calvary HHH John Michael McDonagh moves from caustic comedy (The Guard) to more thematically ambitious drama—and if he doesn’t quite nail it, at least he’s got Brendan Gleeson starring as Father James, a parish priest in rural Ireland told by a man in his confession booth that the man will kill Father James in eight days as retaliation for being abused by a priest years earlier. The rest of the film becomes a countdown toward that threatened date with mortality, as Father James interacts with various troubled parishioners who provide a rogues’ gallery of suspects. Those encounters, unfortunately, are too episodic to build toward something profound.

All the heavy lifting is left to Gleeson, who’s simply superb as a priest wrestling with a world that’s ever more contemptuous of his vocation; it’s not a crisis of faith so much as a good man saddened by people unwilling to consider that he may be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Much of the climax is unfortunately misguided, yet still packs an emotional punch by suggesting that bitterness and cynicism aren’t a response to hopelessness, but its root cause. Opens Aug. 15 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—Scott Renshaw The Dog HH.5 Dog Day Afternoon HHHH See reviews p. 45. Opens Aug. 15 at Tower Theatre. (NR/R)

The Expendables 3 HH In which the familiar members of Team Aged Beef (Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, etc.) enlist some gargantuan-veined newbies to bring down a rogue former colleague (Mel Gibson, recapturing his winningly goofy Lethal Weapon-era mania). While the usual crew proves more than capable of still bringing the creaky thunder, the decision to skew younger here definitely detracts from the core nostalgia of the concept, most notably during an absolutely deadening second act as the sole female in the team, Ronda Rousey, gives perhaps the worst performance in the history of UFC champions gone Hollywood.

Thankfully, however, the members of Team Older New Blood all liven things up considerably, with folks such as Gibson, Wesley Snipes and a hysterically amped Antonio Banderas all relishing the chance to let loose and make things explode beyond the laws of physics. Even Harrison Ford appears to be having fun, which may be just enough of a novelty worth catching in the theater. Opens Aug. 15 at theaters valleywide.

(PG-13)—Andrew Wright The Giver HH.5 Lois Lowry’s 1993 novel may be dystopian young-adult fiction, but not in the way we’ve come to know it most popularly, and director Phillip Noyce’s adaptation loses much of the story’s insinuating power by aiming for a familiar sensibility. Brenton Thwaites plays Jonas, the boy in a futuristic, rigidly organized society whose assigned role is to become Receiver of Knowledge. When he begins training with the current Receiver—who comes to call himself The Giver (Jeff Bridges)—Jonas learns that the world of the past was a very different place. Making Jonas an older teenager—rather than

the book’s 12-year-old hero—certainly changes things, and might have felt more justifiable if Thwaites brought more gravitas to the part. But it’s more frustrating watching the bursts of manufactured drama: foot chases, pursuit by drone aircraft and speeches that make sure we’re not missing The Point of It All. The narrative still connects in its suggestion that we’d pay a price for emotional and societal homeostasis, as well as through some of Noyce’s smart visual choices. It’s just a shame that making it easier to market has made it harder to love. Opens Aug. 15 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13)—SR

Saints and Soldiers: The Void HHH The list of directors making old-school American war films at this moment consists of exactly Ryan Little, so it’s a good thing he’s not too shabby at it. As in his previous two Saints and Soldiers films, he’s following American G.I.s fighting in post-DDay Europe, though once again no characters return. This time around, the setting is Germany circa spring 1945, where the final days of the war in Europe still find pockets of German resistance threatening a patrol of M18 Hellcat tank destroyers. The character drama focuses mainly on tensions between a black soldier, Sgt. Owens (K. Danor Gerald), and racist Cpl. Simms (Adam Gregory), with some unfortunately predictable interludes for

speeches about the unfairness of black soldiers risking their lives for a country that discriminates against them. But Gerald gives a solid performance as an emotionally wounded soldier still trying to do his duty, while Little continues to craft effectively kinetic battlefield set pieces.

CURRENT RELEASES Boyhood HHH.5 Richard Linklater’s audacious experiment—shooting in small increments for 12 years, following Mason (Ellar Coltrane) from first grade through high school graduation—has dominated coverage of the movie. Yet despite some melodramatic bumps in the first hour, it’s much more than its gimmick, and not the universal child-is-father-to-the-man experience suggested by the title. Yes, it’s remarkable watching Coltrane and Linklater’s own daughter, Lorelei (as Mason’s older sister) grow up over the course of a single film; it’s also hard to imagine a better way to track, for example, a boy’s steps in his own sexual awareness from lingerie catalogues through his first girlfriend. Like most of Linklater’s loose-limbed comedies, when Boyhood is on, it’s really on—smart, clear-eyed and laugh-out-loud funny without ever feeling like someone’s stopping to deliver a zinger.

What If HH.5 It doesn’t exactly put a radically new spin on the tired romanticcomedy formula—and the meaningless, arbitrarily assigned title doesn’t help—but it does apply enough wit and relatable human behavior to that formula to make it recommendable, which is more than you can say for most rom-coms. Directed by Michael Dowse (Goon), this saucy-mouthed film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Wallace, a sad sack med-school dropout whose heartbreaks have made him cynical. He befriends Chantry (Zoe Kazan), a doe-eyed animator who, alas, already has a long-term boyfriend (Rafe Spall), raising the eternal question: Can Wallace and Chantry be “just friends”? Elan Mastai’s screenplay—adapted from a play by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi—has everyone speaking with glib sarcasm and playfulness, a mostly successful attempt to mimic the attitudes of modern 20-somethings that only occasionally feels forced. The story is hurt by a few never-plausible tropes—skinny-dipping gone wrong; spur-of-the-moment overseas plane trips—but Radcliffe, Kazan and castmates Adam Driver and Mackenzie Davis are breezily charming. A rom-com about people who aren’t idiots? What a concept! Opens Aug. 15 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13)—Eric D. Snider

make a comedy that happens to feature comic-book characters.

He relates the origin of the titular quintet—including thief Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana), felon Drax (Dave Bautista) and bounty hunters Rocket and Groot—in which they mostly seem interested in killing one another in various permutations, but the dysfunctional family dynamic disguises how desperate they are all for connection.

Mostly, though, Gunn cuts loose with his B-movie sense of what-the-hell abandon, even as he’s cranking out energetic set pieces. Guardians is so wonderfully idiosyncratic for so long that it’s kind of a bummer to watch it wrap up with an obligatory-feeling world-in-peril finale. It’s most delightful exactly when it’s its own goofy, punky self. (PG-13)—SR The Hundred-Foot Journey HH.5 It’s possible to roll one’s eyes at a story’s silly manipulations and still respond to them. Director Lasse Hallström

Theater Directory adapts Richard Morais’ novel about an Indian immigrant family starting over in a small French village where they open a restaurant across the street from Madame Mallory’s (Helen Mirren) country inn. But while the rigid Mallory feuds with Papa Kadam (Om Puri), she also recognizes the incipient culinary genius of his son, Hassan (Manish Dayal).

Hallström (Chocolat) lays on plenty of his twinkly tricks through a plot that gets far too dense as Hassan’s celebrity and various relationship permutations grow. But there are also crowd-pleasing moments for veterans Puri and Mirren, seasoned with mouth-watering scenes of chefs at work.

Everyone learns important lessons—including viewers who discover that a movie cheesier than French cuisine can still be somewhat tasty. (PG)—SR Into the Storm HH In this faux-documentary disaster thriller, storm-chasers encounter massive twisters—and family drama—in a small

Oklahoma town. The problem with the fax-doc device—even haphazardly employed as it is here—is that it’s a tonal cue that we’re getting something gritty and realistic, chronicling an “actual” disaster. And that makes for some jarring moments when, for example, one character gets sucked into a flame-nado. Even the tornado sequences themselves fail to break new ground in showing flying debris and people clinging to stuff for dear life. Disaster movies may still serve a primal function of letting us know that people forget their petty quarrels and take care of what really matters when the chips are down, but if Into the Storm isn’t going to elevate the state-of-the-art in storm porn, why not stay home and watch Discovery Channel? (PG-13)—SR Lucy HHH Featuring some of the most fictional science to ever be found in science-fiction, Lucy is the kind of sui generis, superficially exotic thing that could only have been made by Luc Besson.

It resembles both his breakthrough La Femme Nikita and the glorious drug trip The Fifth Element, but with a premise that leaves both those predecessors coughing dust in an implausibility race. The risible use of the “humans only use 10 percent of their brain” myth ends up transcending its absurd origins and becoming a breathtakingly crazy thriller, with every aspect of the movie ascending into a state of epinephric grace by the end of its startlingly concise 85 minutes. Nothing makes the slightest sense, and some of Scarlett Johansson’s acting choices are a little odd, but Lucy is good fun, if one is able to engage with it. (R)—Danny Bowes Step Up All In HH.5 Perhaps we shouldn’t focus on the overly earnest performances or painful exposition, and instead accept this as a series of amazing music videos featuring astonishingly athletic dancers, expressing crazy-hot choreography strung together by a flimsy narrative. It’s pretty much what old-school Hollywood musicals were, right? This time, Sean (Ryan Guzman) brings a new crew together in Los Angeles to compete in a dance competition, with assists from other dancers back from earlier installments—All In! Get it? No big social issues have been awkwardly shoved into the drama and then handily dismissed in embarrassingly naïve ways, as we’ve seen before in this series.

And it’s nice, frankly, to see guys who know how to dance, women not wearing stupid shoes while trying to dance, and plenty of non-white and non-male people doing anything at all onscreen. (PG-13)—MaryAnn Johanson Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles H.5 I’ve somehow occupied a 30-year pop-culture bubble wherein I’ve never seen any previous incarnation of these characters, so: Aren’t these guys supposed to be fun? Director Jonathan Liebesman cranks up a version in which they’re somehow connected to a bad guy’s plan for world domination, and intrepid young journalist April O’Neil (Megan Fox) is on the case. What follows adopts the 21st-century “gritty reboot” template of psychological trauma and apocalypse-scale stakes, but aside from one goofy set piece involving trucks and turtles sliding down the only alpine ski venue within 20 minutes of Manhattan, there’s virtually no attempt to make this light-hearted enough to be appealing to kids, while it remains too stupid for adults. And if you can’t figure out how to make silly entertainment out of sewer-dwelling, pizzaeating, katana-wielding, etc., reptiles, maybe you shouldn’t be making movies. (PG-13)—SR

he Summer of Too Much T V is nearly over and, besides Sharknado 2: The Second One and True Blood: The Finally Final Season, nothing has made much of a splash in ’Merica’s aboveground pool. Even hyper-hyped new series like FX’s The Strain and TNT’s The Last Ship can barely keep up with the Kardashians’ ratings, even when the networks apply their convoluted “Live + 7” formulas (the audience watching the show as it airs multiplied over seven days by DVR procrastinators divided by a show’s hashtagged t weets added to projected thought patterns of potential viewers squared by unicorn farts).

As far as The Only TV Column that Matters™ is concerned, the biggest disappointment of the summer is AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire, the ’80s period piece about the dawn of the personal-computer boom that premiered with a sizzling pilot episode and decent ratings, only to get stuck in its own “We’re building computers!/No, we’re building dreams!” loop as star Lee Pace dismissed it on talk shows that only wanted to hear about his raccoon movie, any way.

Despite the huge True Blood lead-in, HBO’s depresso-drama The Leftovers doesn’t exactly have viewers—wait for it—enraptured (thanks, I’ll be here all week … unless I suddenly disappear without a trace). You weren’t supposed to take the series’ theme of “What’s the point of going on?” literally, people.

In addition to The Strain, FX has the second bizarro season of The Bridge this summer, as well as alleged new comedy Partners (unless the network has finally realized, “Wait, we put what on Monday

Hectic Hobo

Bitter Medicine

MUSIC

By Kolbie Stonehocker kstonehocker@cityweekly.net @vonstonehocker

“T

Hectic Hobo’s photo props are as imaginative as their music. releases “were fun efforts; I always really liked the rawness of them,” Cone says.

But Our Medicine Will Do You In “is our first one that we haven’t done on our own,” says drummer Todd Johnson, the only remaining member of the original band lineup besides Cone. Through near-constant gigging, the band raised the funds to pay for studio time at local recording studio Man Vs. Music, owned by Mike Sasich, resulting in the tightest Hectic Hobo release yet.

Also featuring Nicholas Newberry (accordion, vocals), Eric Peatross (piano, organ, vocals), Sam Osimitz (fiddle, saw, vocals) and Marcus Stevens (bass, vocals), Our Medicine Will Do You In burns like a bracing but gut-rotting whiskey.

As for the “medicine” Hectic Hobo is dishing out on the album, “I think of it as poison, but a poison that’s good for you, which I think a lot of things are in our lives—or at least we view them that way,” Cone says. But if the colorful characters in the songs are any indicator, sometimes a little vice is necessary to survive.

And while those vices often warrant more than a few raised eyebrows—take the roofie-slinging charmer in “Good Ann, Rise and Shine” and the tryst-happy mayor in “Scarecrow Jones,” for example—they’re just trying to “heal the pain,” as Cone sings in “Hole in My Coffin.” And Hectic Hobo doesn’t judge, only tells the characters’ tales—no matter how lurid.

Our Medicine Will Do You In is “just showing that these people exist and it’s a strange person with a unique perspective,” Cone says. “And it’s more like showing that nobody’s normal and everyone has their thing.” CW

Money for Muse

Hectic Hobo dig into the darkness of society’s seedy underbelly.

here’s a hole in my coffin/ There’s a hole in my bed/ And every time I lay down/ The rain falls on my head.”

So goes the lament of a coffin-bound corpse— denied eternal rest because of the goddamned water that keeps dripping on him through a hole in the top of the box—in “Hole in My Coffin,” on Our Medicine Will Do You In, the new album from Salt Lake City “Wild West gypsy-rock” noisemakers Hectic Hobo. But isn’t that just how it goes: You think you’ve escaped the pain and torment of life, only to be endlessly annoyed by pesky dripping water.

Whether it’s a dead person, “a guy that spends his money on booze and race tracks,” a couple communicating through letters as the man serves time in prison, or any of the other down & out, sometimes unsavory characters on the album, all the songs on Our Medicine Will Do You In are written from the “perspectives of people dealing with some sort of shittiness or another,” says Hectic Hobo multi-instrumentalist, lead vocalist and wanderlust-fueled songwriter Hasen Cone. “I feel like a lot of the song subject comes from providing the point of view of someone that might not have a strong say in our modern culture. We talk about people who kind of exist on the fringes of society.”

It’s dark, sticky stuff to be singing about for someone whose love for folk music is so strong that he founded a folk & bluegrass club at Utah State University. But even though Cone grew up idolizing Bob Dylan and later became influenced by modern-day folk singers such as Greg Brown and Martin Sexton, the sound he was drawn to when he founded Hectic Hobo about five years ago “wasn’t really just straight acoustic folk music,” he says. “I’m not really suited to that; I don’t have a beautiful voice, and I’m not really good at picking pretty patterns on the guitar.”

The significant element of folk music that Cone did decide to keep, however, was the storytelling aspect. Combining his ability “to write stories about strange people” with his “chaotic energy,” so was formed Hectic Hobo. The name itself is a description of the band’s unique style, with the word “hobo” referring to an “old-time, vagabond, Woody Guthrie songwriting style,” and the word “hectic” to a sound that’s “more rocked-out and slightly spazzy,” he says.

For Hectic Hobo’s first two albums—2010’s Preachers, Paupers & Pimps and 2012’s We Lost Our Legs in the War, We Just Can’t Remember Which War—the band’s DIY living-room recording method was imperfect but worked, even though they didn’t have much experience with the process. The

Devotchka Una Volta 2003

Located on the 100 Block in downtown Provo, Muse Music Cafe (151 N. University Ave., MuseMusicCafe.com) is a popular all-ages music venue, but one that has gone through several changes since opening in 2002. Since Darcie Roy and Debby Phillips took over ownership in 2012, as “a passion project for both of us,” Phillips says, they’ve made improvements to help Muse sustain itself—opening a small snack bar on-site as well as a new 24-hour rehearsal space—but this summer has been particularly slow. In order to keep Muse’s doors open, Roy and Phillips need to raise at least $1,900 by Aug. 20; anything raised beyond that amount will go toward critical expenses such as rent, utilities and the staff’s wages, as well as paying off the recent upgrades to Muse’s sound system. The full goal is $2,500, and the fundraiser will likely remain active until the end of the year. To donate, visit GoFundMe.com/support-local-music.

Bar Deluxe Is Going Nowhere Rumors have been flying recently that Salt Lake City bar and music venue Bar Deluxe (666 S. State, 801-5322914) was going to close, or at least shut down temporarily. And according to owner Kaci Tokumoto, that was very nearly the case, as plans were in the works to close Bar Deluxe for about a month and later reopen the venue with a new concept. But nothing is changing after all, and Bar Deluxe is staying open as usual. To celebrate, head to Bar Deluxe to check out some live music and grab a beer; visit BarDeluxeSLC.com for the full concert calendar.

Even Stevens Needs You Salt Lake City sandwich shop Even Stevens Sandwiches (414 E. 200 South, 801-727-7234) is looking for local musicians to play regular gigs in the restaurant during lunch and dinner. To find that talent, Even Stevens—which donates a sandwich to a nonprofit partner for every sandwich sold—is hosting a local music showcase Friday, Aug. 15, from 7 to 10 p.m. for musicians who play family-friendly material and have a sound that will work in an acoustic or low-volume setting.

Every musician who’s selected for the showcase will get a 15-minute slot (includes setup time) during which to perform. Visit EvenStevens.com/LocalMusic to sign up.

Sun & Moon Cafe Now Bleu Bistro Blues hotspot Sun & Moon Cafe is now closed, but the owners are taking their love for live music to the new Bleu Bistro (1615 S. Foothill Drive, Salt Lake City, 801-583-8331), located in Lamplighter Square, near the mouth of Emigration Canyon. Open to the public beginning Aug. 23, Bleu Bistro will feature a roomier interior and patio, performances by national and local blues artists four to five nights a week, and creative small plates and entrees made with local ingredients whenever possible. For more information, visit BleuBistroSLC.com.

Twilight Concert Series: Beck, Future Islands Eight years is quite the break to take from releasing new music, but singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Beck wasn’t twiddling his thumbs between 2008’s Modern Guilt and his relaxed, glowing Morning Phase, which dropped in February. He played producer to Stephen Malkmus, covered several of his favorite artists and even came out with a collection of sheet music titled Song Reader. When it finally came time for the Los Angeles musician to create a bona fide album, he assembled the same group of folks who contributed to 2002’s Sea Change, resulting in a sound that’s similar to that release in its warm intimacy, but also has its own shimmering orchestral expansiveness. Also on the bill is Baltimore synth-pop group Future Islands, whose latest album, Singles, came out in March. Pioneer Park, 300 West & 300 South, 7 p.m., $5, TwilightConcertSeries.com Turnpike Troubadours The latest album from these Oklahoma country-rockers is masterfully created, a homey blend of twangy guitar and twangier vocals, but it’s the lyrics that really make an impact. In an interview with American Songwriter, frontman and songwriter Evan Felker explained that all of the songs on 2012’s Goodbye Normal Street are inspired by the lives of “real people”—himself included— and all the disappointments, triumphs and heartache that regular ol’ people encounter.

THIS WEEK’S MUSIC PICKS

From the complicated and often lonely reality of being deployed or having a relative in the military (“Southeastern Son,” “Blue Star”) to two people wrestling with the consequences of their affair (the excellent duet “Call a Spade a Spade”), Felker has proven he can spin a yarn with insight and sensitivity. Local bluegrass/folk six-piece Six Feet in the Pine will begin the night. The State Room, 638 S. State, 8 p.m., $18, TheStateRoom.com; limited no-fee tickets available at CityWeeklyStore.com

Cosmonauts 2013’s Persona Non Grata, the latest album from California psychedelia/garage-rock band Cosmonauts, doesn’t have quite the same wild, fanged bite as 2012’s If You

Beck Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die—with the killer tracks “Emerald Green” and “Motorcycle #1”—but what it does have plenty of is hazy, drugged-out hypnotism that’s poisonously intoxicating and as heavy as swamp ooze.

Created with lots of guitar feedback, droning vocals and heavy, thumping percussion, songs like the lurking “Wear Your Hair Like a Weapon” and the meandering “Vanilla” are slow-burning journeys into the weird: part joy ride through a post-apocalyptic landscape, part acid trip in the woods. Also performing are local psych-rockers Super 78, surf-punk/ rock band Breakers and Beat Hotel. The Shred Shed, 60 E.

Ziggy Marley labeled as punk. But the fuel that really gives their engine juice is their influences of ’60s psychedelia, ’70s post-punk and ’80s American hardcore, making a sound that kidnaps punk and takes it somewhere spacey, freaky and haunting. Featuring buzzy noise, dark lyrics, distorted surf guitar, and vocal effects that begin and then fade into the ether, Ex-Cult’s latest album, Midnight Passenger—released in April—showcases the band’s wild energy as well as the production expertise of prolific garage-rocker Ty Segall; the band recorded impressive single “Ties You Up” with him at his home studio. Also on the bill are fellow Segall protégés Zig Zags, as well as local punk acts Swamp Ravens and The Nods. Kilby Court, 741 S.

Ziggy Marley When you’re a touring musician, it must be hard to have a famous musician for a parent; in the case of Ziggy Marley, well, that is one enormous, legendary shadow to try and get out from under. This Marley has taken the recognition that being the eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley has given him and pursued a multifaceted and successful career of his own. He’s won five Grammys, written a comic book called Marijuanaman, sang the Arthur theme song, performed on Sesame Street with his band the Melody Makers and is an involved activist. But that’s not to say the spirit of his dad doesn’t live on inside of him, at least a little bit: Ziggy’s voice is uncannily close to Bob’s, and he embraces many of the same ideas of rising above a banal mindset and making a difference in the world, as heard on his latest album, Fly Rasta, released in April.

Open since 1933, the year Prohibition was repealed, Bar-X survived for decades as a beer-only man cave.

Today, Bar-X makes its name on true cocktails, like Old Fashioneds and other pre-Prohibition drinks. The bar also showcases local musicians—especially jazz musicians.

The bar’s seriously dark interior exudes a lavish Roaring ‘20s aesthetic—the exclusive “speakeasy back room” furthers the theme with a private bar, muted lighting and an iron-gated door to keep out the prohibitionists.

by kolbie stonehocker @vonstonehocker

Baby Ghosts, Maybe Ghosts HHH.5 The second full-length from Baby Ghosts is a hairraising shock to the senses, the musical equivalent of sticking a fork in an electrical socket and really, really liking it. Maybe Ghosts’ blend of high-powered guitar, tight percussion and vocals by guitarist Karly Zobrist and bassist Katrina Ricks that pop with snarling, dynamic energy is proof that punk can be impressively executed but still a total blast to listen to. And most of the songs are just as lighthearted, such as the potential cat-video soundtrack “Computers/Internets” and “COOKIES.” But what gives Maybe Ghosts surprising depth is its ghost symbolism, whether it’s relating to a feeling of isolation, such as in “Crash”—“Am I here now/ Or am I just a ghost lost in the crowd?”—or whether it’s pertaining to missing an absent person, such as in “Karen (Caring/Carin’).” And therein lies a power of the album that’s stronger than electricity, as underneath all its candy coating is a beating human heart. Self-released, Aug. 15, BabyGhosts.bandcamp.com

The Beerhive Pub

Present as Lord, Famous HHH

Cruzrs

There’s something warm and comforting in Famous, the first album from Present as Lord, a side project of the multi-talented Drew Danburry and Eric Robertson. Full of heartfelt yearning and honesty as well as refreshing unpretentiousness, the six electro-pop tunes are reminiscent of The Postal Service’s relaxed delivery style and cozy melancholy, but with more infectiously dance-friendly beats and effects. Throughout the album, Danburry’s and Robertson’s respective skills play off each other well, with Robertson’s rich synth-heavy production the perfect pairing for Danburry’s quirky songwriting and vocals. And those lyrics are pure and beautifully simplistic, especially in “Dream About.” When Danburry sings, “When we walked hand in hand/ I hoped you would be mine in the way I only dream about/ Mine in the way they used to sing about,” he transports the listener back to the days when the only thing that mattered was that one particular person liked you. Self-released, July 24, PresentAsLord.bandcamp.com

A favorite downtown spot for after-work cocktails and pints, this bar specializes in brews sought by the pickiest of beer lovers—with more than 200 choices of beer on draft and in bottles, you’ll never have to settle. The frosty rail on the bar keeps drinks cold, and there’s more to this bar than beer—you can play pool downstairs and partake in some great food.

128 S. Main, Salt Lake City, 801-364-4268 Cruzrs wears its biker-bar bona fides proudly, with a pair of motorcycles parked right in the middle of the stage area. Pub food, pinball machines and pool tables (the latter are free on Wednesdays and Thursdays) blend with an Internet jukebox for a spot that’s just the right mix of old-school and contemporary. Saturdays are karaoke night, so come by ready to belt one out.

3943 S. Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, 801272-1903, Facebook.com/CruzrsSaloon Dick N’ Dixie’s

This neighborhood bar is a comfortable spot to hang.

Bartenders are no-nonsense yet friendly, and happy to mix you creative cocktails or old favorites. As the official viewing bar of Real Salt Lake, Dick N’ Dixies is also the perfect place to watch a game. You might even spot one of the players chilling between matches. 479 E. 300 South, Salt Lake City, 801-521-3556 X-Wife’s Place

Located near Trolley Square, X-Wife’s is the place to take the edge off your day. The drinks are cheap (partly because the bar is cash-only), the lounge vibe is mellow, and the staff is hilarious—much the same as they were back in the ‘60s and ‘70s when the bar was packed with U of U students and their professors.

It was called My Wife’s Place back then, but that’s another story. In any generation, it’s the perfect place to grab a beer, have an intelligible conversation and shoot some pool. 465 S. 700 East, Salt Lake City, 801-532-1954

Pest Rulz, Something’s Cookin HHH Clocking in at just over six minutes, this new EP from guitarist/vocalist Andrew Milne (Spell Talk) and drummer Taylor Orton (Eons) as Pest Rulz roars in at high speed, proceeds to obliterate the listener’s eardrums, and then makes an equally fast getaway. There’s nothing subtle or nuanced here, just that age-old recipe of gravelly, primal howls and surf-y guitar, with a barrage of percussion underneath it all. But the crucial ingredient in this blistering mix is the near-alarming amount of energy that Milne and Orton have brought to the recording; it’s as if they both endured a series of shitty days, then arrived in the studio determined to exorcise them all through the ultimate screaming, pounding musical catharsis. The wild and rollicking “The Cramp” kicks off the four short barn-burners, followed by “Fire,” “Lady” and “Tequila”—it’s all in the one-word titles, really. Sexy, messy and insanely entertaining, Something’s Cookin will pour gasoline on your troubles and light ’em up.

New City Skyline Album Release Salt Lake City alt-rock three-piece New City Skyline are known for their powerfully infectious performances. Paul Rampton’s vocals are heady and strong as they weave through the striking instrumentation of bassist Devan Brown and drummer Chance Hutchinson, creating a clear and compelling sound resonant of Switchfoot. With lyrics that display a candid attitude toward romance and vulnerability, this is a band that every listener can relate to. Tonight’s show celebrates the release of the band’s new EP, Collision, which came out Aug. 5. Local folk-rockers Westward the Tide are also on the bill, and DJ Ross K will host the afterparty.

All-girl alternative-rock trio The Coathangers formed as a joke in 2006 during a house show in their hometown of Atlanta. But what began as a joke must’ve stuck, because Minnie, Crook Kid and Rusty Coathanger released their fourth studio album, Suck My Shirt, in March. The record boasts fast and heavy guitar riffs, harsh and angry vocals, and aptly titled songs (including “Adderall,” “Shut Up” and “Dead Battery”), making it one hell of a new-wave punk album. White Fang and Breakers are set to open the show. (Natalee Wilding) Monday, Aug. 18 @ The Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, 9 p.m., free, TheUrbanLounge.com

A Bigger Piece Of Cake (Boutique)

S

ince opening in 2008, Cake Boutique has put itself on the map as the place to shop for hip fashion labels and stylish accessories. And because of its ever-growing customer base, owner Katie Hammond decided it was time to move into a bigger space. “We loved being at 511 Main Street [in Park City], but we outgrew the space

comes into the store to make sure it’s wearable, versatile and worth its price,” says Hammond. Impeccable customer service is also a key component of the business. “We love to get to know our customers and be a part of their lives through fashion. It’s so fun to hear that a particular dress was perfect for the party that they attended or that they wore a certain pair of jeans so much that they’re worn out.”

Aside from giving Utahns a stylish clothing selection, Cake also gives back to a number of local organizations like Friends of Animals Utah, Park City Education Foundation and the National Ability Center. “We [also] donated a portion of our proceeds from our most recent in-store party to Kiva, which funds microloans to women entrepreneurs across the globe,” states Hammond.

qu ick l y,” she said.

“We wanted to offer more styles and sizes to our customers, as well as bigger fitting rooms and a nice seating area to enjoy.”

With the bigger space comes more merchandise. “We have about three times the amount of merchandise in this new space than we did in our old space,” says Hammond. “Along with expanding within the brands that we already carried, we picked up a few new lines: 10 Crosby Derek Lam, ALC, See by Chloe, MONROW, Stateside and Giles, and Brother jewelry.” Cake also holds exclusivity in Park City with several chic brands.

Hammond also added several personal care brands into the mix. Whether it’s a nail polish shade from butter LONDON, or a signature scent from Bond No. 9 or Kai Fragrance, these new additions will add a finishing touch to any wardrobe purchase.

What differentiates Cake from other boutiques in the area is Hammond’s eye for style and ability to bring customers the best of what each brand has to offer. “We really take time to examine every piece that

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, the bells are about to ring for you. The festive lights will flash. The celebratory anthems will throb. It’s like you’re going to win a fortune on a TV quiz show; like you will get an A+ on your final exam; like you’ll be picked as homecoming king or queen. But it’s possible I’m a bit off in my projections, and your success will be subtler than I anticipate.

Near the end of his career, the painter Henri Matisse created a You’re most likely to be successful if you reveal everything you’re paper-cut composition he called “Le Bateau,” or “The Boat.”

It is an abstract piece that does not depict a literal boat. That’s feeling. Let your face and eyes be as eloquent as they can be. why the Museum of Modern Art in New York should perhaps be forgiven for mistakenly hanging it upside-down back in 1961, LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When we are launching any big project, our minds hide from us upon first acquiring the piece. Fortunately, after a month and the full truth about how difficult it will be. If we knew beforehand a half, a knowledgeable person noticed, and the position of “Le all of the tests we would eventually face, we might never attempt Bateau” was corrected.

If so, work that will probably take longer than we thought and will you be sharp enough to see the goof and brave enough to fix compel us to access new resources and creativity. To be clear: it?

It may be hard-to-find or anyone can possibly give you accurate counsel in the coming unappreciated by others, but for you it’s a spot that inspires you weeks. Your circumstances are too unique and your dilemmas to relax deeply. You might have had a life-changing epiphany are too idiosyncratic for even the experts to understand, let alone there.

Do you have a smultronställe, suspect it might be useful for you to hear what everyone has to say Virgo? If not, it’s time to find one. If you already do, spend extra about your situation, though. Seeing their mistaken or uninformed perspectives should help you get clarity about what’s right. time there in the coming week.

Preschool Teacher Job Fair

August 14, 2014 8am – 7pm!

La Petite Academy is Hiring FT/PT ECE Teachers for multiple locations.

Experience is strongly preferred.

A

s we approach another school year, I can’t help but remember the anxiety I had each time I went back to school after spending a summer relieved of the teasing and harsh bullying that so many children face every day. The only guidance I had back then was my parents telling me that “this too shall pass.” Because I know that is true, here is my advice for every bullied LGBTQ kid going back to school: You have been the victim of bullying and that’s not okay. I can’t apologize for their behavior or take responsibility for their actions. But I can tell you that there are more people on your side than you think.

You may not hear or feel it very often, but you are smart and talented and beautiful. You are unique and that should be celebrated.

You have value beyond that which your peers give you. You are more than the jock or the nerd or cheerleader. Your family situation, skin color, size, or sexual orientation shouldn’t define you. And although they will try, no one has the right to make you feel less than because you are more than can be put into words.

You are strong and brave, but above all things you are exactly who you are supposed to be. You are the perfectly wonderful watermark of your heritage. You are the best chance of ending the merciless act of bullying and we need you.

So when your days are long and difficult and you feel all alone, remember that those of us who grew up and lived through the bullying need you to make a difference in the world and all the kids who didn’t make it need you to be their voice.

Please don’t let go of who you are for the sake of fitting in. Boldly walk through life with your head held high, knowing that you are more than the torment of bullying and you are greater than the labels.

No matter what, don’t give up. Because as bad as it gets, it will be that much better when the bullying ends. Find people you trust and speak up about what you’re going through. You do not have to walk alone.

Walk with confidence knowing that when it gets tough, we will be here to pick you up. If you need help, go to flipthescript. org and find the support you need. n

just listed the home of the 25th mayor of Salt Lake City, Earl J. Glade. He was elected to run our capitol city a year before W WII ended. In researching the man, I found that he was born in Ogden and worked as a teenager in the mines in Park City as a “mud-hen.” He went to college back east, became head of the business program at BYU, and subsequently a professor at the U of U. What I find fascinating is that the home in Sugar House is where the very first KSL radio broadcasts were sent from, in an office on the main floor of the home.

The home was built on land deeded to Brigham Young in the 1860s from the U.S. government and was turned over in his will to “all the surviving mothers and children of 21 years of age.” According to the web, at the time of his death he had been married or sealed to 56 women. The 160 acres just south of the now I-15 overpass was cut up and sold off over the years to famous names around Sugar House like William McIntyre, LeGrand Young and Henry Dinwoody. KSL was originally known as KZN and was the radio arm of the Deseret News paper. The first broadcast was on May 6th, 1922 and was a fireside chat with the LDS Church president Heber Grant. Earl J. Glade joined the station in 1925 and ran operations for 14 years. He was instrumental in creating “Music and the Spoken Word,” the longest running radio program on the U.S. airwaves.

Who listens to the radio any more unless it’s Satellite Radio in your car or Pandora on your phone? Back in the 1920s, radio was the only entertainment and news medium in the world apart from newspapers, telegraphs, and live stage shows.

Many thought it was a passing fad and the early radio receivers were too expensive for the average person to afford. Plus, many of the radio consoles were the size of small refrigerators.

Times have changed since the 1920s, although many of SLC’s issues remain the same. Two of Mayor Glade’s biggest campaign issues and projects that he worked on while in office were (1) to get more parking in downtown Salt Lake City and (2) to encourage developers to build more affordable housing. n
