Letters Stop Dancing Like No One Is Watching

My husband and I have been Red Butte Garden members for years, and we’ve been attending concerts since at least 2001. Up until this year, the only complaint we’ve had were people butting into the general admission line for the concerts. One person would save a space in line all day only to have up to 20 additional friends drop in line with them prior.

Still, until this year, we’ve been very happy. We’ve never been so upset or disappointed in people. We’ve had people walk through our area, stepping over our food in the process. One person actually placed her foot between our sandwiches as she stepped over us. People have nearly knocked us over as they squeeze through to grab spots in front of us. We’ve had people stand behind our group talking loudly, and when we’ve asked that they move so we can hear, they’ve talked louder.

Those same people have then stood the entire concert whether the crowd is standing or not. We have not been able to see the stage unless we stand also. I’m not 16 anymore … I want to relax and enjoy. There will always be a time—usually the end—in any good concert when the whole crowd stands. In other years, it’s always been this way—people stand the first song or two, then sit until the end when everyone gets rocking. This year, mostly it’s a

On the Red Butte website, there are terms and conditions, which state: “Concert participants must conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and must refrain from conduct and language that would be offensive and/or disruptive to performers or other concert participants.”

I’m not sure if dancing and blocking people’s view would be considered disruptive to other concert participants or not, but I think it’s very rude. Everyone who attends the concert should enjoy it. If people want to sit, they should be able to see the stage, especially if they’ve sat all day in line for the privilege.

If people want to stand and dance, they should be able to enjoy that also, by dancing in the dance area.

Since the area is too small to accommodate many people, another option would be to have one of the sides open for people who wanted to stand and/or dance throughout the concert.

How sad is it that our society has become so selfish they no longer respect the rights of others. In addition, how sad that we have to write Red Butte to ask them to baby-sit their guests.

UTA Has Problems, But Boozy Riders Ain’t One

I was in the process of writing an article regarding UTA and our local cab service when I read the “Booze Train” letter in the Aug. 28 issue. I have my own concerns with UTA, which have to do with it not being able to accommodate those who have shifts that start at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m., or shifts that end at 12 a.m. or 1 a.m., and who work weekends and holidays. That’s all another story and will be addressed another time.

Then I read this letter. The writer stated he had boarded Trax and smelled brews and heard much loud talking which made him so angry he wanted UTA to be shut down.

It must have been some buddies getting together, tipping a few, and enjoying a safe ride home on the train.

UTA has police to verify rider payment and to keep the peace. Get real, Mr. Cotant. We have enough problems with the results of drinking and driving. Chill out, change seats, grab a good book and enjoy your own safe ride home.

PRIVATE EY

Mayor Velodrome

Many years ago, I was standing on the balcony of our old office at 68 W. 400 South (now buried under the new federal courthouse, which is, in my mind, the ugliest building ever built in Salt Lake City), probably smoking a cigarette while pacing back and forth waiting for the mailman to deliver his daily bills and payments. I did that daily, a ritual that would settle whether we had enough money to get by till the next day or if I had to run out and beg, borrow and steal our way through another 24 hours. Anyway, as I was pacing, a car below stopped and, as was ritual then and ritual today, the occupant got out and fidgeted with the parking meter.

I remember clearly who it was because I caught two distinctive features of the man: his bald head and his confusing facial demeanor that caused one to never know if he was scowling or grinning. I was only a few feet above him, and that’s as close as I ever got to former astronaut, Utah Senator and Salt Lake City Mayor Jake Garn.

Even then, it was part of my daily humor to watch folks become befuddled by our parking meters. It became a habit no less than the habit that hung from my lips.

Now, long since having quit smoking, I just watch the freaky parking-meter dancing, always paying attention to how people react when they park on a Salt Lake City street. And no less today than 20 years ago, when Jake Garn shrugged and began his walk toward Main Street—I presume to the former federal courthouse—people are fed up and frustrated with street parking in downtown Salt Lake City.

Thanks, Mayor Corradini. Sincerely.

She was so engulfed in the Bonneville Pacific scandal and later the infamous Giftgate scandal that I can’t say for certain if she is among our former mayors to royally screw downtown drivers and merchants

by tinkering with downtown parking. That doesn’t count her giant surprise to the city when she suddenly announced that a gigantic outdoor mall called The Gateway would be built on the near west side, pretty much draining downtown of what energy it had left after Main Street was mostly killed

by Trax and beautification.

Thanks, Mayor Anderson. People either came away loving or hating Rocky Anderson.

My own “rocky” relationship with him is well-documented, and years have come and gone, so I don’t want to venture down that path. However, there is one thing I cannot forgive Mayor A nderson for: the reversea n g le pa rk i n g miasma along 200 South. Rock y was progressive as all getout, but I still don’t have my head around why he advocated that cars parking on that street around 300 West and 400 West should back into their parking spaces. I’ve never seen such a method of public-street parking in any other city. Not once. And if it were such a good idea, how come it never extended past that small portion of the city?

At any rate, I’ve solved the problem in the only way I know how—I never, ever, park on 200 South. Which means I don’t do much shopping or eating in that area.

Maybe that was the point, to kill business.

Thanks, Mayor Becker. Not only did he install those crazy solar meters that seldom work, but thanks to them, he’s made downtown street parking (for those silly enough to pay) a pricy and miserable experience. People stay home fearing a parking violation. I actually think anyone parking on downtown streets are the “violated.”

Now comes the great mess Becker has made of 300 South. The one street that has truly made a comeback—loaded with local shops and merchants for blocks— is the victim of his dumb idea to create

bike lanes against each curb and move parallel-parked cars to nearly mid-street, where car-exiting drivers can get clipped by vehicles passing only inches away. Or where, between Main and West Temple, cars parked at an angle at mid-street leave nice dents in the cars parking along the bike lanes. Where delivery trucks still park at the curb, because that’s what delivery trucks do. Where, if you’re pissed at the two stupid ways to park on 300 South, you’re only one block away from the equally dumb parking on 200 South. Consistency? Nah. If you’re typing while riding your bike right now, let’s talk later about the merits of cars versus bikes—I advocate for sane biking regulations btw, but willy-nilly? No. So, if you’re a Jimmy John’s bike deliverer, forget it—everyone knows you’re above all traffic laws in the first place. This is about a mayor versus a city. Merchants and landowners are pissed. Persons coming downtown are pissed because there’s no figuring out the Nazca Lines that somehow impart how to correctly park. Some parking meters have been eliminated, reducing fees, which means some bean counter is sweating about now. The new bike lanes even confuse bikers, too, who cannot feel safer when the autos around them are zigging, zagging and lurching like never before.

I guess that’s why I’ve seen so many bikers take to the sidewalks of late. I fairly wonder how a friggin’ snowplow is going to find its way through the mess come winter. Here’s my bet: I bet that if it snows this winter (and it will) and if snowplows are required to clear 300 South (and they will), that Mayor Becker will eliminate street parking on 300 South altogether to make room for the bike riders, who will not be biking through the blizzard anyway. Because Mayor Velodrome does stuff like that. CW Send feedback to john@cityweekly.net.

people are fed up and frustrated with street parking in downtown Salt Lake City.

If you were mayor and you could screw up downtown parking worse than it is, what would you do?

Rachel Piper: I’ve long advocated for a secret underground water-luge system stretching downtown from the U. But having it run down the middle of 300 South would be fun, too.

Paula Saltas: Let’s take out the street lights and put in roundabouts at each intersection.

ScottRenshaw: A “Guess Which License Plate Number I’m Thinking Of” parking policy: If your license plate has the number the parking enforcement is thinking of, you don’t get a ticket.

Jeff Chipian: Since no one drives cars anymore, I would create an out-of-thisworld bike lane that would cut the number of parking spots in half. Oh, wait ...

Nicole Enright: I would also make spaces for people to lie down and sleep. In the street. Other than that, I don’t really see how parking could be more screwed.

Sarah Arnoff: Create endless, ravaging construction projects on downtown roads and sidewalks. Sure, it will deter cyclists and pedestrians from accessing businesses, but if you’re going to make downtown an empty shell, may as well go all in.

Derek Carlisle: Have the parking machines only accept Sacajawea dollars.

Nathan Turner: Add useless Trax lines that won’t be used for two years throughout the downtown area.

Kolbie Stonehocker: I’d ban all cars from downtown and turn it into a rollerbladeonly paradise, where Dan Hartman’s “Free Ride” would be played 24/7 on huge speakers.

Point A to Point B Thank you Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, for saying the Utah Transit Authority is worth a criminal investigation. This is not something to continually sweep under the rug. UTA has a long and storied history of bad decisions that favor business—and themselves—and hurt the public. But wait, the legislature should be looking at more than just UTA. There’s a pernicious attitude in Utah that says the best way to run a government is to give the public’s money to a private organization and, voila, you’ve got the best of both worlds. This is why the voucher issue is still alive, why the Fair Board isn’t profitable, why the Fund of Funds is ineffective, and why you don’t hear about the Utah Technical Finance Corp. anymore. Quasi-public organizations are simply a way of abdicating responsibility. Periodic legislative audits just confirm the folly.

You may have heard about Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker’s priorities: bikes.

Much to the chagrin of businesses along 300 South, the city has constructed protected bike lanes that preclude street parking. Businesses are not happy despite the assertion that there’s evidence biking and shopping local go together, according to a Salt Lake Tribune story, along with urban living—meaning 20-somethings living in high-rises. This spurs nightlife in the city, but not everyone rides a bike and lives in a high-rise.

Parking has been made all but impossible with the high-priced kiosks. So take a train. The city is looking to expand the Ghost Train in Sugar House, another area where they have all but ignored public input. Let’s not stop progress, but let’s collaborate when we create it.

Busy Bees There’s so much to be said about the Salt Lake City Main Library beyond its awesome architecture. Who knew there were beehives atop the library? Slow Food Utah donated the hives, which produce about 100 pounds of honey a year, and a Boy Scout troop is helping maintain them.

Salt Lake’s official beekeeper is hoping to pump up beekeeping in the urban area.

The overriding reason is the crisis facing bee populations around the nation. In fact, Aug. 16 was National Honey Bee Day, and awareness campaigns have sprung up around the country. A third of the human diet comes from insect-pollinated plants, and honeybees are responsible for most of that, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. So it’s important to keep up the buzz.

DEREK CARLISLE

HITS&MISSES

Many people use Salt Lake Comic Con and other sci-fi/fantasy events to dress up as characters from pop culture, an art known as cosplay. After a widely publicized attack on a cosplayer at San Diego Comic-Con, Mitch Clegg, a Salt Lake Comic Con volunteer, decided to bring attention to the issue of cosplay harassment in hopes of preventing it.

Are people who wear revealing cosplay outfits “asking for it”?

They may be wearing something that is revealing, but no one, and I repeat no one, regardless of what they have on, deserves to be harassed. Harassment is evil. They are in this costume to have fun, and if you’re harassing someone, you’re taking away the fun that person is supposed to be having. You’re making it not fun anymore. That’s the whole thing with cosplay— you’re supposed to enjoy it. If you’re getting harassed, you’re not enjoying it. I’ve had friends want to quit the whole thing because they get harassed when they’re in costume. They get called nasty names, they get touched. It really irks me to hear this. No one should be touched or harassed in any way when it comes to costumes. It’s just somebody expressing who they are in the way they think is fun. No one has the right to take that away.

Have you experienced cosplay harassment?

I actually have. I happen to be in a wheelchair, so it’s kind of a double-edged sword. I got harassed because of the chair and I got harassed because I’m different—I like to dress up in costume and have fun with it, so I was different from other people. It’s been my experience that when people see something they don’t normally see, they are scared of it. It’s something they’re not used to, so they don’t want to give it a chance.

What do you hope to accomplish by raising awareness of cosplay harassment?

Part of the reason I did this was I’ve dealt with harassment for almost 20 years. Not just cosplay harassment, but because of my physical disability. I’ve seen the pain that it causes and I don’t want people to go through it. I’m tired of people getting hurt by it. I want to do my best to make a difference and make sure people don’t get hurt anymore.

It’s not something that people should have to go through. The other reason was this thing in San Diego. This is another big reason why I started it, because it should not have happened. It’s just stupid; it’s juvenile to harass people. It’s playground tactics.

What can convention attendees do when they witness harassment?

One thing is go find security. If you’re at a convention and you see something going on, go find security, go find a volunteer, go find someone that has some form of authority and tell them what’s going on. Don’t wait 20 minutes or half an hour—go right up directly and find someone who can do something about it as soon as you see it. If you wait, it raises the risk of that person getting hurt.

What kind of rules could conventions apply to eliminate harassment?

With Salt Lake Comic Con, what we’re doing is starting up booths called Safe Zones that cosplayers can go to if they are being harassed, and they can feel safe at these places. A lot of the volunteers are on board with this, too. There are multiple places at Salt Lake Comic Con that will be designated safe areas. I know that some of the big cosplay groups that are doing it too: Heroic is doing it, the 501st, the Mercs I believe are doing it, too.

STRAIGHT DOPE Bloody Nonsense I wanted to take my 12-year-old daughter to an amusement park, but a friend told me that since she just hit puberty, she shouldn’t ride roller coasters or anything bumpy because she could lose her virginity. Is this true?

—Suckerpunchit This isn’t a question you expect to hear in 2014, and honestly it would have struck me as a little retro in 1973. But never mind.

Let’s talk about nature’s virginity test.

To start with the obvious: Virginity is the state of never having had sexual intercourse.

It’s not possible, therefore, to lose your virginity riding a roller coaster unless you have sex while en route. Your friend is referring to the risk of damaging the hymen, the traditional marker of virginity. The hymen is a thin membrane that partly covers the vagina, leaving an opening permitting menstrual discharge to escape. Commonly—though not always—the hymen ruptures during a woman’s first penetrative intercourse, producing some pain and blood flow.

Female humans are said to be unique among primates in having a hymen, although similar structures have been reported in other mammals, including elephants and llamas. How evolution came to gift them with a freshness seal of sorts is unclear. Possibly it served to protect the vagina from contaminants. Historically, it’s been used to enforce chastity.

For a long time—and in some cultures even now—a bride who flunked the virginity test was shunned or even killed.

Conceivably women over the course of evolutionary time who weren’t naturally endowed with hymens and thus couldn’t produce the requisite bloody sheets, bearskins, or whatever on their wedding nights suffered the same fate and were removed from the gene pool. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

The hymen is far from infallible as an indicator of sexual activity. Sometimes it survives penetration intact, and in rare cases grows back during pregnancy, which may be the basis of some “virgin birth” stories.

More commonly the hymen tears prematurely, often as a result of physical activity. This has been known for centuries: an 1825 medical textbook warns against using the hymen as a proxy for virginity, as it can be ruptured by jumping, horseback riding, bicycling, accidents, various medical conditions, “artificial manipulation” (masturbation, presumably), or “lesbian delights or Sapphic pleasure.”

Reported causes of early tearing in more recent times include inserting tampons, stretching and participating in vigorous sports. Falls onto bicycle crossbars, playground equipment or fence rails have caused broken hymens, as has doing particularly energetic splits. A careless physician can tear a patient’s hymen during a routine gynecological examination.

BY CECIL ADAMS

SLUG SIGNORINO

While premature tearing of the hymen is in most of the developed world an annoyance at worst, there are plenty of places where it’s a disaster. In many Muslim societies in the Middle East and South Asia, virginity is mandatory for an unmarried woman and must be demonstrated by bleeding when the hymen is torn on the wedding night. To determine the hymen’s status beforehand, young women may be browbeaten into undergoing “virginity testing” via manual exploration of the vagina.

Even where it’s no longer common to publicly display a stained sheet after the wedding night, as in Israeli-Palestinian communities, many women still place a cloth on the bed beforehand and keep it afterward for the husband’s viewing.

Elsewhere, mothers, mothers-in-law or aunts may demand to see the bloodied sheets. Unfortunately, after puberty the hymen has few blood vessels and is often flexible or very thin, so even if the bride has been chaste, there may be no perceptible blood. One source claims only one in four virgins bleed on first intercourse.

And so medical science has provided a solution: hymenoplasty, or hymen reconstruction surgery. Performed on brides who face embarrassment, shunning, violence or even murder if they can’t produce the expected blood, hymenoplasty is typically done on the eve of the wedding and involves stitching the torn ends of the hymen together. If the available fragments are insufficient, vaginal skin is used instead. Since bleeding can’t be guaranteed, some doctors insert breakable packets of a bloodlike substance behind the hymen that split open upon penetration.

Now to your question. We scoured the medical journals for reports of hymens ruptured by roller coasters but found no definitive accounts. Anecdotes abound online but don’t constitute proof. It’s not obvious how a roller coaster would stress the hymen—while high g-forces are involved, premature hymen rupture due to external causes typically involves some kind of impact or the legs being pushed in different directions, neither of which normally happens on roller coaster rides.

I won’t say it’s impossible for your daughter to damage her hymen at an amusement park. But assuming she won’t be considered a ruined woman if she does, why should anyone care?

NEWS Bear Fight

Use of UPD armored vehicle at Winder fundraiser looms large in sheriff’s race.

By Stephen Dark sdark@cityweekly.net @stephenpdark On Oct. 16, 2013, members of Unified Police Department’s SWAT unit received a message through their pager system, typically used to alert them to the need for assistance in an emergency callout, executing a search warrant or a hostage situation. This message sought “4-5 more operators to help at Big Shot Thur. 10-17-13.”

The operators were to take a $350,000 armored vehicle to Tooele’s Big Shot Ranch—a high-end shooting range with clay-pigeon shooting and a wide array of high-caliber weaponry—owned by businessman Michael Drury, who’d donated the BearCat to the Unified Police Department (UPD). The message made no reference to what the operators would be needed for—to be part of a fundraiser for Sheriff Jim Winder’s re-election campaign—but one SWAT officer, who requested anonymity out of concern of retaliation, told City Weekly that such summons were usually to corporate or charity events paid as overtime by UPD. The SWAT officer says that shortly after he agreed to go, he was told “not to be in uniform because it was a fundraiser for the sheriff.” He felt uncomfortable, he says, but decided not to back out. But when he witnessed Drury auctioning off the BearCat and the time of several SWAT operators to members of the public to do with what they wanted for several hours, he says, his discomfort level rose considerably.

He wasn’t alone. SWAT commander Lt. Jake Petersen, now running against Jim Winder for sheriff, says that several SWAT officers who attended the event approached him the next day and told him, he recalls, “Jake, I’m afraid I broke the law.”

Petersen says he shared his officers’ concern. He questions the appropriateness of using the BearCat, a “public asset” with police markings on it, to raise funds for the eight-year incumbent.

“At the very least, it’s a tacit endorsement by UPD and the Sheriff’s Office of that candidate who is fundraising there that night,” he says. “I believe his judgment is called into question as to what is appropriate and what is not—what is overzealous campaigning as opposed to breaking the law.”

POLITICS The 2013 fundraiser and questions of whether it was a misuse of funds has heightened tensions in UPD and the Sheriff’s Office over the PetersenWinder race. And the controversy was only deepened by the fact that Winder’s campaign disclosures did not list donors from the event.

Petersen announced his run for sheriff in December 2013, two months after the fundraiser at Big Shot Ranch, but says his candidacy had been in the works for months prior to the fundraiser, and was in response to concerns he’d heard from officers that Winder “had turned into what he ran against [former Sheriff Aaron Kennard]—a politician.”

Winder disputes such a perspective, citing his eight years both as sheriff and as an officer who routinely goes out on calls as a member of the UPD, which Winder created, and works with corrections officers in the jail, which he oversees as county sheriff.

Winder’s UPD SWAT unit, he says, “is not supportive of my re-election. It’s not a surprise the captain of that division and the lieutenant [Petersen] are both actively working to get themselves elected.” He says he’s been aware of allegations about the fundraiser and potential campaign violations circulating in UPD since January, but dismisses the issue as no more than “a short-term political shot in the dark.”

When City Weekly asked Winder about the absence of any donors from the Oct. 17, 2013, Big Shot Ranch fundraiser on his campaign-finance disclosure, Winder said he had no idea why those who had been present at the fundraiser were not listed. “I do not have answers for this,” he said, and recalled that campaign staff had documented every person who came.

The day after City Weekly’s interview with Winder, an amended filing was uploaded to the county clerk’s website.

Jackie Biskupski, part of Winder’s appointed administration team, works on the sheriff’s campaign. She says two lists of donors and in-kind donations from the ranch event were overlooked and not put into the campaign disclosure system. “It wasn’t like some intentional thing,” she says. City Weekly’s enquiry also brought to light, she says, a bowling event that had not been listed. With the two events added, contributions received by the campaign jumped from $21,448.95 to $35,229.85. Biskupski is pleased the mistake was rectified. “We want to show that income, that kind of support.”

Drury, Big Shot Ranch’s owner, says he’s disappointed that he’s been “dragged into the mire” by Petersen over what he considers a good deed.

The self-described Republican is, above all else, he says, a “person supporter.”

He backs Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill and is friends with Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder, both Democrats.

“[I’ve] looked at it every way, looked at it six ways from Sunday.

We are absolutely in compliance.”

—Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder

Candidates for Salt Lake County Sheriff Jake Petersen and incumbent Jim Winder disagree over the significance of a Unified Police Department armored vehicle being used at a Winder fundraiser.

Winder and Drury became friends, Drury says, after several burglaries and an embezzlement at his office led him to deal with three different police agencies within 24 hours and made him see the need for a centralized police department, which Winder ultimately founded with UPD. Drury offered help to Winder by making his ranch available to police departments to train at for free.

Winder recalls telling Drury that his SWAT division was desperate for a BearCat, an armored vehicle manufactured for law enforcement and military usage, with armor that’s U.S State Department-approved.

Drury pays monthly installments on the vehicle, and in return, UPD lets him use it for 12 hours a month, with two SWAT operators, as stipulated in the lease. Drury says that the operators drive it to the ranch on UPD’s dime for fundraiser and charity events.

According to Petersen, $10,000 of the annual UPD salary budget is set aside for operating the BearCat at Big Shot.

The October 2013 event at Big Shot Ranch was the second Winder fundraiser held there. A 2012 event had drawn the attention of Salt Lake Tribune columnist Paul Rolly, who highlighted Democrats “shooting up stuff” to raise campaign funds.

At the 2013 event, the anonymous SWAT officer says, raffle tickets were sold to Winder supporters for a chance to ride in the BearCat with SWAT officers, then proceed under cover from the vehicle to use an assault rifle to shoot a target in a car that the ranch had towed out.

Winder says he assumed that the two BearCat operators at the October 2013 event would be paid, per the lease agreement, but “when we looked into the time cards, nobody was paid.

Everybody assumed it was voluntary.”

During the fundraiser, Drury announced he was auctioning a few hours of use of the BearCat, along with multiple SWAT operators.

Drury says on average, he only uses it 10 percent of the time he’s allotted, so, he says, “I thought, why not auction it off?”

Winder says his jaw dropped when Drury began the auction, and he quietly asked his father-in-law, who was present, to make sure he won the bid, which Winder says he did.

But, the sheriff says, he has “looked at it every way, looked at it six ways from Sunday. We are absolutely in compliance from my perspective.”

He expresses frustration that Petersen and his supporters have made a gift from a police benefactor into something controversial. “We’re receiving the kindness of strangers here, it’s for their own benefit, and they’re out there stomping on [Big Shot’s] toes,” Winder says.

Petersen says it’s a political issue because the BearCat cannot be used for political fundraising. “There are public funds making it move around, public funds paying for that equipment upkeep, public funds paying for the insurance of that equipment,” he says.

Drury says that in the wake of the mushrooming scandal, if UPD isn’t interested in the BearCat, he’ll happily take it back. “If you guys don’t want it, I’ll pick it up tomorrow and make the whole thing go away.” CW

Lane Change Downtown businesses angry over losing parking for new 300 South bicycle lanes.

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

Signs along 300 South provide instructions for new bike lanes, but drivers and cyclists are still getting used to the change.

| CITY WEEKLY |

SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 | 13

“Parking is a real problem, and it’s not very smart the city doing this without even letting us know,” Von Bothmer says.

Becker, she adds, “is not interested in us; he’s only interested in his bike.”

Art Raymond, spokesman for the mayor’s office, says it’s unfortunate that some business owners weren’t part of the process of engagement for the new lanes, which began in 2011 and included public hearings and multiple door-to-door visits with businesses on the corridor, he says.

The project—which will cost $900,00 when completed—is one that Raymond says has been shown to help businesses in other cities by bringing in more bikeriding customers. But he says there will be a learning curve for all involved.

“I think our biggest challenge for this is that it’s a paradigm shift,” Raymond says.

David Dunn, owner of the TP Gallery on 252 S. Main, which has sold Native American arts and jewelry since 1975, worries that diminished parking will make it harder for businesses to receive not only customers but also deliveries.

“I understand people need to ride bikes, but when you’re dealing with it in a way that’s having such a negative effect on business, that means you want the business to leave,” Dunn says.

Ben Raskin, a bartender at Keys on Main (242 S. Main) is also exasperated by the lanes, the confusing shapes left for cars to park in, and the fact the lanes may very well be useless during winter months.

“In December, we used to get free parking downtown,” Raskin says. “Now we’re losing spaces for bike lanes you can’t use because there will be a foot and a half of snow on the ground, and that you need a master’s degree in math to figure out how to park in.”

Raskin says that if the city is serious about making downtown bicycle-friendly, it should follow the lead of Denver’s popular 16th Street Mall, a vibrant outdoor shopping area that’s closed to cars. The current in-between approach, he says, doesn’t help anyone.

“Salt Lake City is a gem in the Intermountain West,” Raskin says. “This is one of the greatest cities in America. If we’re going to make downtown a part of that gem—the center stone in that engagement ring that stole my heart so many years ago—then let’s get this goddamn parking thing figured out.” CW

| cityweekly.net |

The surprise installation of new bike lanes on 300 South and losing the parking spots the lanes were painted over have left some downtown business owners feeling like Mayor Ralph Becker unfairly favors bikes over businesses in the city’s core.

Chris Petrogeorge, owner of Pepper’s Pita just west of Main Street on 300 South, says he was never asked for feedback on new bicycle lanes. The only notice he received was when the city told him that a new bike lane would remove multiple angled parking spaces from in front of his cafe.

“Parking is a premium downtown,” Petrogeorge says. “We just lost three or four spaces on this side of the road and three or four on the other side of the road— and I still see more [bicyclists] riding on the road than down their bike lanes.”

The majority of the new 300 South lanes, between 600 East and 300 West, are sandwiched between the curb on one side and parallel parking spaces on the other, with parked cars acting as a buffer between bikes and traffic. The lanes, part of Becker’s ongoing mission to make the capital city more bike-friendly, are designed to make busy traffic areas safer for cyclists, but take up more space on the street.

Daniela Marroquin, owner of Garret Michael Barber Shop (435 E. 300 South), says she is not troubled by the lanes. While she lost a few spaces in front of her business, the street is now less cluttered, she says, making it safer to pull out of the business’ driveway.

“I have quite a few clients that commute on bikes and they seem to love it,” Marroquin says.

But the sentiment becomes more negative the closer to downtown the businesses are located.

Carmen von Bothmer, owner of City Creek Antiques (169 E. 300 South), which is located across from the Utah Department of Commerce, says people coming downtown to conduct government business often take street parking. She also loses spots to festival-goers every time a celebration is held at the nearby Washington Square.

NEWS Reading Between the Lines

As conspiracies abound, Utah’s big dailies continue inflating their circulation.

By Katharine Biele comments@cityweekly.net Kurt Alloway is a newspaper’s best friend.

He’s subscribed to The Salt Lake Tribune for 20 years and gets the Tooele Transcript and the Millard County Chronicle delivered to his home in Tooele.

“I love the farm news,” he says. Not so much what’s wrapped inside—the Deseret News National Edition.

“I get two local, rural subscriptions once a week, and every single one comes with the Deseret News. It’s their national news or some crap I don’t want. My wife and I are disgusted with the waste of paper,” says Alloway, who just recycles, recycles, recycles.

Meanwhile, for several months of Sundays, Tim Wagner, who lives in Salt Lake City, has had nothing on his doorstep—no matter how many times he’s called MediaOne, which oversees printing and advertising for the two Salt Lake dailies, to find out what has happened to the Sunday edition of The Salt Lake Tribune that he’s taken for years.

“I can’t say if it’s associated with MediaOne or just a bad carrier problem,” says Wagner, who supplements his Sunday edition with the e-edition on weekdays.

Wagner is not alone in the quest for reason in the battle of the newspaper giants. A group called the Utah Newspaper Project is suing Digital First Media and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which own the Tribune and the D-News, respectively. The group has been vocal in its belief that the recent renegotiation in the daily papers’ jointoperating agreement, which gives the D-News 70 percent of the papers’ combined profits, is a conspiracy designed to financially crush the Tribune. But numbers show that the newspaper industry is making more than enough money—and that Salt Lake City’s dailies are spinning their circulation numbers to do so.

Much has been made of newspapers’ declining revenues in the wake of the digital revolution. But Roger Plothow, who has managed papers in Utah and California and is now editor and publisher of the Idaho Falls Post Register, argues that just because newspapers’

PRINT CIRCULATION OF SLC’s Papers

M E D I A M AT T E R S profits have fallen doesn’t mean they’re in dire straits.

“The profits we’re comparing ourselves to are obscene. It’s beyond the pale,” says Plothow, who says he’s worked for newspapers that generated 55 percent profit.

“No one gets to do that now,” he says. “It shouldn’t have existed in the first place. A newspaper can exist on 10 to 14 percent margins. Those are good margins, and sustainable.”

Print-advertising revenue continues to decline, but the hemorrhaging has mostly ceased. According to the Newspaper Association of America, revenues in 2013 were $37.59 billion.

About two-thirds of that revenue comes from advertising, and advertisers’ rates are determined by circulation—which brings us to the numbers game and the murky depths of the Alliance for Audited Media (A AM).

This nonprofit organization is the place where circulation figures are parsed and advertisers are gained or lost. But with the advent of digital editions, circulation is anything but clear, and newspapers increasingly appear to be pumping up circulation numbers, hoping to entice advertisers to pay more for their product.

According to massive amounts of research by Jay Schiller, a former newspaper circulation executive, Salt Lake City’s two dailies give away more free digital as a percentage of total distribution than any papers in the nation, making the overall figures they provide to advertisers meaningless.

Both Salt Lake newspapers hold up their circulation numbers to entice advertisers and pump up the value and cost of ads. But MediaOne’s boasts of 300,000 and 400,000 readers “mean nothing,” says Schiller, who adds that when you look at the uninflated numbers, each paper reaches less than 10 percent of Utah households.

City Weekly was referred to a “group” of people at MediaOne for questions about circulation, but phone calls were not returned.

It’s unknown how much local advertisers are overpaying to get their messages in front of just a fraction of the 300,000 or 400,000 readers that MediaOne promises. But inflated circulation numbers have generated lawsuits around the country.

“It’s becoming more important than ever to understand the audience you have and the impact you have on it,” says Jennifer J. Johnson, a technologist and marketing executive working for an Internet consultancy company.

“You want to know how your dollars are being spent.”

Muddy numbers are nothing new, Johnson says. “There’s always tension between publishers, agencies and consumers.” Systems have to show how

they translate into impact.

According to the A AM report on the publishers’ statements for the six months that ended March 31, 2014, the D-News and the Tribune have a total combined circulation of 402,836 on Sundays and 316,233 total for the other six days of the week. But, Schiller says, 68 percent of that weekday distribution is digital, and if you don’t count the D-News’ National Edition, 67 percent of the Sunday circulation is digital, too.

“There was a time where free copies were not included on the front page of the (AAM) reports,” Schiller says. “Today, newspapers combine paid and free, print and digital and brands into one grand total that does not mean anything.”

The AAM said they do not track this information, referring City Weekly back to the publishers. The D-News’ Clark Gilbert would not comment, and Tribune publisher and editor Terry Orme says that MediaOne charges for all e-editions.

New rules from the auditing corporation seem to have helped the circulation charade. AAM has changed its rules since the advent of digital, and now allows circulation numbers to include some duplication of print and digital. It also used to be that someone looking at a digital edition on a smartphone or tablet had to do so every day of the month to be counted. Now, they need only look once during the month, Schiller says.

“When you start peeling the circulation onion, it gets smaller and smaller,” Schiller says. “While the combined daily circulation of the two newspapers is 316,233, when you back out digital, it drops to 102,194. When you focus on home delivery, it drops to 89,827.”

Even before the possibilities afforded by digital duplication, newspapers have been creative with how they present their circulation to advertisers and readers.

Looking just at the home-delivery numbers of the Tribune and D-News, Schiller says, “there is no disclosure in the report of how many people get home delivery of both newspapers.”

Given MediaOne’s steep discount on subscriptions to both papers, it’s safe to say that many do. An annual seven-daya-week subscription for either paper is $211.64, but you can get both papers six days a week—minus Mondays—for just $91 a year. It’s likely that quite a few of the 89,827 home-delivery households in MediaOne’s reported circulation are in fact the same households, getting both papers under what amounts to a buy-half, get-1-1/2-free deal.

“I have scoured the circulation documents, and I can’t tell you how many people take both papers,” Orme says.

“I assume it is a very low number, but that’s as far as I can go.”

Many papers count newspapers sent to schools as paid subscriptions, and one famous class-action suit, which has since been dismissed, started with a Hilton Hotel guest who took issue with being charged 75 cents for a newspaper he thought was free. The cost of papers delivered to hotel rooms was automatically included in guests’ bills, and though the hotel gave refunds when guests asked, few did, leading newspapers to count those copies as paid subscriptions.

In 2004, Slate magazine ran a story titled “Ghost Readers, Is Everybody in the Newspaper Business Inflating Circulation?” The Tribune Co.’s Newsday and Hoy, Hollinger International’s Chicago Sun-Times and Belo Corp.’s Dallas Morning News all admitted they were.

In 2006, the courts reached a multimillion-dollar settlement in a classaction lawsuit brought by advertisers with the Chicago Sun-Times and related papers. Hollinger International agreed to pay about $7.7 million in cash and up to $7.3 million in free advertising or discounts to the plaintiff class.

Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores recently sued the Tampa Tribune for inflating circulation, saying that figures had been exaggerated by “tens of thousands of customers per week.” A judge dismissed the lawsuit earlier this year, but the company’s lawyers may refile.

Meanwhile, the Deseret News’ National Edition is included inside other papers, and available free of charge in boxes around Utah.

Schiller says those numbers aren’t broken out in the publisher’s statement and simply “ ‘fatten’ up the overall numbers.”

The A AM board “is considering changes to address duplication between editions—such as the main newspaper and their branded editions, which will, it is anticipated, be then referred to as ‘affiliated publications,’ ” says A AM spokeswoman Rachael Battista.

Schiller notes that the National Edition has no real value to advertisers, and digital editions of either paper have yet to show they are making money.

And quality or necessity of coverage aside, making money is what it’s always been about—both in the heyday of handover-fist print profits and in today’s era of just squeaking by, according to the Tribune’s banner-carriers, on a percentage of an unknown profit. CW

A federal judge is set to rule on whether to dismiss the Utah Newspaper Project’s lawsuit on Sept. 8. Read the full story on CityWeekly.net.

4 1 0 2

In other DC Comics news, The Flash is poised to become this year’s Insta-Hit, a spin-off of Arrow that retains all of that series’ superhero soapiness and turns up the brightness several notches. The Flash, about Central City CSI investigator-turned-Fastest Man Alive Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), has more in common with the early years of Smallville than the dark and growly Arrow; even though there’s some darkness in his past, nerdy Barry’s having far more fun here than broody stud-boy Oliver Queen is back in Starling City. The special F/X are on the right side of budget camp, and the show’s comic-book-true vision is immediately clear. Unlike, say …

Forever (ABC) Premieres Monday, Sept. 22 Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four) plays a New York City medical examiner who knows everything—literally, because he’s secretly been alive for 200 years. When he teams up with plucky, equally pretty NYPD detective Jo Martinez (Alana de la Garza), there’s no crime they can’t solve … if Castle or Elementary haven’t already closed it. Gruffudd and Garza make a passable, vanilla-latte version of Castle/ Beckett and Holmes/Watson, but it won’t matter: Forever is a far too optimistic title for an ABC series whose regular timeslot will be Tuesdays at 9.

Constantine (NBC) Premieres Friday, Oct. 24

COMIC BOOK & FANTASY ACTION Gotham (Fox) Premieres Monday, Sept. 22 The “Garfield minus Garfield” quips regarding Gotham’s “Batman minus Batman” origin story are valid, as is the observation that it’s just a highly stylized cop show with the occasional glimpse of a future villain (“Hey, look, the Penguin! And there’s Poison Ivy!”). But a highly stylized cop show is better than a no-style cop show—as you’ll see in the coming Fall TV previews—and Gotham, centered around detectives James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) sports this season’s priciest-looking pilot: The police station looks like the ’40s, the cars look like the ’70s, you never see a cell phone or computer, but there are satellite dishes on the rooftops; Gotham occupies no time period. And of all the excellent performances (McKenzie is as stoic and solid as Logue is manic and morally fluid), the most surprising of all is Jada Pinkett Smith as Gotham crime boss Fish Mooney—any show that can make her likable (as a villain with a ridiculous name, no less) is onto something.

Turns out most of the advance complaining about Hellblazer adaptation Constantine was spot-on: This show probably can’t be done on network TV, but what NBC has come up with isn’t a total loss. First of all, Matt Ryan is markedly better than Keanu Reeves was in the 2005 Constantine movie, injecting the right amount of seething swagger into the titular demon hunter—he’s Gordon Ramsay, literally in Hell’s kitchen. And … that’s about it. The occasionally impressive F/X don’t mask the fact that potentially excellent support players like Lucy Griffiths (who’s outta here after the first episode, anyway—smart move) and Harold Perrineau have nothing to do, and there’s So. Much. Exposition. that NBC could have saved everyone a headache by just mass-mailing Hellblazer comics to fans of Grimm, Constantine’s lead-in and target audience. First cancellation of the 2014-15 season, calling it right here.

Jane the Virgin (The CW) Premieres, Monday, Oct. 13

Accidental artificial insemination? Let’s say it’s a thing. During a routine checkup, engaged 23-year-old virgin Jane (Gina Rodriguez) is inadvertently inseminated with a sample meant for another patient— making matters even worse, the sample is from her handsome boss at the hotel where she works! How will she explain this to her family? Her fiance? The idiotic Christian groups who think Jane the Virgin is a show about abortion? Of course she’s going to keep the baby—this is The CW, not Cinemax. If you loved Ugly Betty but thought it never went telenovela hard enough, Jane is for you, and Rodriguez will be America’s new mid-level TV sweetheart.

Oh, and congratulations on all of the free advance publicity from the aforementioned idiotic Christian groups, CW.

Pedrad), and throw in a random gaygeezer neighbor (Elliott Gould), because why not? That’s a whole lotta talent Manhattan working overtime to produce no Love Story laughs whatsoever—except from (ABC) Premieres Tuesday, Sept. 30 the … ugh … laugh track. Besides On the name front, Manhattan Love Story could be the Fox, who’s already ordered worst title of the year—and this is a season that includes damned near a full season of Selfie, Black-ish and Jane the Virgin. All you need to know this trainwreck (Dads 2.0!), about MLS: Analeigh Tipton is A. Dor. A. Ble; the she-thought/ everyone involved seems to be he-thought dating conceit works to far better comedic effect thinking, “Is this going on TV? than you’d think; did I mention that Analeigh Tipton is For real?” Unfortunately, yes. adorable? Give this one a chance and, not to plan your Tuesdays, romantics, but Selfie and Manhattan Love Story into Fox’s New Girl and The Mindy Project (or, less likely, NBC’s Marry Me and About a Boy) would make for a solid evening.

Walsh has always had a wicked comic streak, and Bad Judge would have finally been a killer vehicle for it—on FX or Showtime.

On NBC, it’s just a bed-headed, halfdressed lead-in for the sweeter A to Z and Parenthood. I know I’m in, but I’ll be one of the few who watches until it’s canceled by the end of October.

Daaammmnnn. Maybe it’s all the “new Seinfeld” comparisons being thrown around, presumably by someone paid

by Fox to do so, but Mulaney is an even bigger disappointment than present-day rich-asshole Jerry Seinfeld showing up at your kid’s birthday party for a stand-up set (“Nice Hot Wheels—check out my Porsche, ya little shit”). Comic/writer John Mulaney plays an unnervingly stiff version of himself, a struggling New York comic working for a comedylegend-turned-game-show-host (Martin Short) and living with a couple of wacky roommates (Totally Biased’s Seaton Smith and Saturday Night Live’s Nasim

Selfie

Mulaney (Fox) Premieres Sunday, Oct. 5

A dramedy with all of the snarky teen attitude of Glee and none of the musical numbers, Red Band Society (a title that beat out Sadder Children’s Hospital and Kancer Kidz!) is the only real chance Fox is taking this season besides Gotham—the exec who greenlighted Sleepy Hollow, Almost Human and anything else remotely weird last year is waaay fired. Like early Glee, the young cancer-ward residents are all fresh-faced newbies spouting rapid-fire pop-cultural zingers, leavened with gallows humor and grounded by older actors of note (Octavia Spencer and Dave Annabelle as hospital staff) who only come out of the background as needed. And the show’s narrator is a child in a coma, so “deal with it” (even Coma Kid has ’tude). So, are we supposed to get attached? Ask Walter White—we had him around for five seasons.

Remember the Mother from How I Met Your Mother? Who was pursued for years as The Girl, only to be killed off in favor of The Other Girl in the end? Jennifer Love Hewitt action figure Cristin Milioti is back in A to Z, starring opposite Ben Feldman (Mad Men—Ginsberg!) in a romantic comedy that should be insufferable, but actually works in spite of itself. Andrew’s a romantic, Zelda’s a pragmatist, and when they meet due to an Internet-dating website glitch (which Andrew works for, in the office building adjacent to Zelda’s—see how this is going already?), undeniable sparks fly. A to Z is unapologetically fluffy, but it’s probably due for a longer life on NBC than …

For a new series airing after the whitest show on television, Modern Family, Blackish sure does bring up some Bernie Mac Show memories—how did this happen?

And how does it lead into Nashville?

Anthony Anderson stars as a family man with a corporate PR job and a sweet suburban spread, but he’s becoming more and more aware (via narration, this season’s hot trend, along with the Chubby Bearded Bud) of his clan’s disassociation with black culture, and the casual disapproval of his live-in dad Pops (Laurence Fishburne) only exacerbates his anxiety. For a seemingly one-note premise, Black-ish delivers as many laughs in its debut episode as its moreestablished sitcom neighbors—this is either what The Boondocks railed against or really wanted all along.

Black-ish

obsessed airhead who suddenly realizes that her thousands of “friends” aren’t real friends—viewers will probably be tuning out after five minutes of her overly affected hashtag-speak. Too bad, because this roundabout My Fair Lady/Pygmalion riff turns sweet, funny and—uh-oh—educational once co-star John Cho begins schooling her Eliza Doolie (yes, really) on how to interact with Real People in Real Life. In turn, she teaches his Henry Higenbottam (the hits keep coming) how to lighten up and have a little fun. Selfie may be a more obvious movie than a series, but Gillan and Cho have the chemistry to build it into something longer-lasting. With a different name—seriously, Selfie #sucks.

Madam Secretary (CBS) Premieres Sunday, Sept. 21 When the Secretary of State is killed in a plane crash, Elizabeth McCord (Teá Leoni), who quit the CIA years ago over “ethical issues,” is suddenly yanked out of her college-professor gig to replace him, because that happens. Once past the shaky setup, however, Madam Secretary kicks into full-tilt West Wing mode of establishing Government As We Wish It Were Run with McCord’s zero-tolerance policy for bureaucratic bullshit and useless protocol (though it is funny to see her balk at having an appointed stylist, as she looks like she has one of her own on retainer). Madam Secretary is as solid a political drama as network TV has seen in years and, handled right, could be Leoni’s The Good Wife moment— don’t blow it, CBS.

Marry Me (NBC) Premieres Tuesday, Oct. 14 If you’re a fan of Happy Endings, Burning Love, Wet Hot American Summer, Children’s Hospital and all the other comedies Casey Wilson and Ken Marino have starred in, you’re really, really, really going to want to like Marry Me. Unfortunately, their collective manic energy initially overpowers what’s supposed to be a sweet li’l rom-com about a couple seemingly doomed to never propose at the right time. Then again, Happy Endings (which was helmed by the same guy behind Marry Me) didn’t click right away, so this could still work out over the long haul—good thing Marry Me isn’t airing against New Girl. Oh, it is?

Nevermind.

Cristela (ABC) Premieres Friday, Oct. 10 Says here, Cristela Alonzo is a “breakout star.” If that means she’s breaking out of the TV screen, grabbing you by the neck and screeching “Laugh at my plight of being a modern Latina dealing with racism, sexism and following Tim Allen on a Friday night!!!” then, yeah, because that’s pretty much the entire show.

The McCarthys (CBS) Premieres Thursday, Oct. 30

there-done-that NYPD detective who wouldn’t be out of place on Brooklyn Nine-Nine or even Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (you do need a new Munch, SVU—just sayin’), the other where she’s a harried single-ish mom to awful, awful twins. Call me when they dump the brats.

NCIS: New Orleans

A fat, loudmouthed, sports-obsessed Bah-ston family has a gay son—and, go for borderline homophobic comedy! Or borderline comedy, period. Even sadder than the continued use of the laugh track (yes, there’s only one—the shows share it) in 2014 is the abject laziness in the writing, staging and execution of The McCarthys: It’s like a CBS programmer found a cheap ’80s pilot in the closet, dusted it off and said “Here, just jam this into Thursday night so we can hit happy hour and blow some of that Big Bang money!”

Working for squinty fed Robert Patrick, the Scorpion—or, as it will never, ever be used, </scorpion> … yep—team are “brilliant misfits who comprise the last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats of the modern age.” But wait, it gets stoopider: The team insists on adding their favorite local waitress (Katharine McPhee, whose acting has somehow gotten worse since Smash) to the payroll because, as the single mother of a budding genius, they can “translate” him for her, and she can “translate” the non-nerd world for them. </blech>

Any need to spell this one out? Scott Bakula is the Aw-Shucks Silver-Maned Leader, Lucas Black is the LeatherJacketed Wild Card, Zoe McLellan is the Sensible Female Presence, and CCH Pounder is the Quirky Science Lady; they investigate military crimes in New Orleans. Don’t worry, your town will eventually get its own franchise … were we talking about NCIS or Popeye’s?

How to Get Away With Murder (ABC) Premieres Thursday, Sept. 25 The Shonda Rhimes takeover of Thursday nights is complete, leaving How to Get Away With Murder star Viola Davis (playing a morally ambiguous, fartoo-well-dressed college professor who becomes embroiled in a murder mystery with her law students) to chew scenery with impunity. Also, there’s a character named Bonnie Winterbottom. No more witnesses!

Stalker (CBS) Premieres Wednesday, Oct. 1

You may see some of these in 2015— if not sooner. Or, possibly, never.

State of Affairs

(ABC) Drama: Sure to still be timely in 2015, American Crime follows the toll taken on those affected by a racially motivated crime and trial. If TV audiences are clamoring for anything, it’s to be lectured on race and class politics every week.

The Astronaut Wives Club

(ABC) Drama: From the book of the same name, the true-ish story of the ’60s women behind the men who went into space, back when ’Merica did that. The series was supposed to debut in July 2014, but was pushed to 2015. Not a good sign.

Fresh Off the Boat

(ABC) Comedy: A ’90s coming-of-age tale about a young Asian-American boy and his family moving from Washington, D.C.’s Chinatown to Orlando, Fla.—a trip that requires no boat, but whatever.

Galavant

(ABC) Comedy: A “musical fairytale comedy”(!) about a knight’s quest to rescue his true love from the clutches of an evil king. Think Men in Tights meets Game of Thrones meets ABC hopes everyone will have forgotten about The Quest by 2015.

Marvel’s Agent Carter

(ABC) Drama: In this 1946-set spin-off of Captain America, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) takes on spy missions for Stark Industries, because she’s a skilled, capable woman (yay), and she needs a distraction from pining over Cap (boo). Unlike S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter has only eight episodes to get it right.

It’s like no one’s even trying with the show titles this season—Gracepoint?

Could be a condo development, could be a Toyota hybrid, could be a Cialis product, who knows? In this case, it’s an American remake of the British crimemystery series Broadchurch, with the rare convenience of having both the original star (David Tennant—you know, one of those Doctor Whos) and show creator/

Katherine Heigl was great in Grey’s Anatomy, and then Knocked Up—let’s pretend she joined the Peace Corps in 2007 and is just now returning to acting, OK? In State of Affairs, she plays a CIA analyst/adviser with a special relationship with the president (Alfre Woodard)—no, not like that: She was engaged to POTUS’ son before he was killed in a terrorist attack (as depicted in the pilot’s intense, straight-outta-Zero Dark Thirty cold opening). Now, she drowns her pain in booze and random hook-ups by night and helps set foreign policy by day. Of course, this couldn’t be just a straight-up political drama (right, Teá?), so there’s some Blacklist-y conspiratorial intrigue about the fiance not being what he seemed/seems. Upside: Heigl has better hair than Lizzy from The Blacklist, and a less-scary cryface than Carrie from Homeland.

POLITICAL UNREST

It’s difficult to say who’s working harder on Stalker: Dylan McDermott, acting his ass off to prove that he’s a brilliant Noo Yawk detective with every right to be the cocky prick with perfect stubble he is, or the special F/X crew toiling to give costar Maggie Q cleavage. Both fall … flat.

As the title suggests, this series is about a threat-assessment unit of the LAPD that works stalker cases, but it’s just another under-lit clone from the CBS Cop Show Replicator 3000®. Maggie should be free from those torture devices in 13 episodes, if that.

in space, you can already hear this being canceled.

The Odd Couple

(NBC) Comedy: The Office’s Craig Robinson stars in the Bad Teacher/School of Rock mashup that was originally produced by the Office team, who have all since quit. But hey, it’ll be fine …

(CBS) Drama: This is more like it for CBS: an IT version of CSI, starring network vets Patricia Arquette and Peter MacNicol. Tell your parents about it the next time you have to reset their wireless router again.

Secrets & Lies

(ABC) Drama: A cat & mouse mystery thriller pitting a possibly innocent family man (Ryan Phillippe) against a determined homicide detective (Juliette Lewis) in what sounds like a direct-to-VHS (look it up) potboiler from the ’90s.

Members Only

(ABC) Drama: Get ready to fall in indifference with the Holbrooke family, a wealthy clan of beautiful people whose lives aren’t as perfect as they seem—being rich and living at the country club is hard, you guys.

(CBS) Comedy: Oscar (Matthew Perry) is a slob; Felix (Thomas Lennon) is a neat freak. See, kids, in the ’70s, this is all the plot you needed to pitch a sitcom.

Zoo

(CBS) Drama: Remember that reality show When Animals Attack? Now it’s a sci-fi drama, based on the James Patterson novel about the world’s animal life finally turning on mankind. Pick a stance on this one, PETA.

Backstrom

Bordertown

(Fox) Comedy: Seth MacFarlane and some Family Guy/ American Dad/Futurama alumni team with Mark Hentemann, Gustavo Arellano (Ask a Mexican) and Lalo Alcaraz (La Cucharacha) for an animated Tex-Mex comedy. They’re gonna hate it over at Fox News.

(ABC) Drama: A sci-fi epic (starring American Horror Story’s Lily Rabe) about an alien invasion targeting Earth’s children, because executive producer Steven Spielberg apparently forgot that he’s already done that with Falling Skies.

(Fox) Comedy: Underutilized comic actors Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) and Zachary Knighton (Happy Endings) should probably be able to perk up the tired sitcom format of Chronically Single New York Pals … or at least upstage Undateable.

The Last Man on Earth

(Fox) Comedy: Saturday Night Live’s Will Forte is, literally, the last man on Earth. No one will ever see this.

(Fox) Drama: Trapped in Idaho! might have been a better title, but this M. Night Shyamalan production—don’t run away yet—about a pleasant small town from which no one can escape already has enough weirdness going for it. Matt Dillon and Carla Gugino bring the star power, as do the TV-overextended Juliette Lewis and Terrence Howard.

Allegiance

(NBC) Drama: Decades ago, KGB agent Katya (Hope Davis) was given the mission to recruit an American businessman (Mark Cohen). Instead, she fell in love with him and the Kremlin just said, “Go ahead and move to the U.S.; we’ll be in touch.”

Guess who now wants a favor from the couple and their newbie CIA analyst son?

Ripped from today’s headlines about The Americans.

The Odyssey

(NBC) Drama: A soldier (Anna Friel) uncovers a corporate/military conspiracy after being left for dead behind enemy lines in the Homeland-meets-Traffic-meets-Strike Back drama that’s as confusing and ugly as the hyphens suggest.

One Big Happy

(NBC) Comedy: Lesbian Lizzy (Elisha Cuthbert) and straight dude Luke (Nick Zano) are BFFs trying to have a baby (just go with it), which is cool until Luke meets a ridiculously hot Brit girl (ridiculously hot Kelly Brook) and impetuously marries her.

It’s more acceptable than The New Normal because there’s only one gay character.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

(NBC) Comedy: Ellie Kemper (The Office) stars as a woman starting her life over after escaping a doomsday cult. No one will ever see this, either.

iZombie

(The CW) Comedy: When medical resident Liv (Rose McIver) is attacked by, and then turned into, a zombie, she takes a job at the coroner’s office to feed her hunger for brains and passes herself off as a goth. Sounds insane, but if anyone can make it work, it’s creator/writer/director Ron Thomas (Veronica Mars, Party Down).

Aquarius

Battle Creek

(CBS) Drama: Breaking Bad’s Vince Gilligan created Battle Creek over a decade ago, and it’s finally being produced for a network— too bad, it should be on cable. Dean Winters (Law & Order: SVU, Rescue Me) and Josh Duhamel (Las Vegas) star as mismatched cop partners in a bankrupt Michigan city, and it’s way too darkhumored and subversive for CBS. If it ever makes the schedule, watch it hard.

Weird Loners

Wayward Pines

(Fox) Comedy: A self-destructive-but-brilliant Portland detective (Rainn Wilson, The Office) is given one last chance to get his shit together by leading a special-crimes unit.

At least it’s not called Special Crimes Unit.

The Whispers

Mr. Robinson

Empire

(Fox) Drama: Terrence Howard stars as an ex-streetthug-turned-hip-hop-mogul who has to groom one of his three sons to take over the business before a debilitating disease incapacitates him and his insane ex-wife takes it all. Oh, and his character’s name is Luscious Lyon. Still in?

(NBC) Drama: A 1967 Los Angeles detective (David Duchovny) deals with hippies, cultural upheaval and a certain amateur cult leader named Charles Manson—it’s Hannibal meets Mad Men. Another obvious Shoulda Been on Cable candidate, though Aquarius might contain too much actual history for the History channel.

Mission Control

(NBC) Comedy: Will Ferrell and Adam McKay produce a David Hornsby (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) comedy about a female 1960s astronaut (Krysten Ritter) trying to break into the NASA boys club. Even

The Messengers

(The CW) Drama: A group of strangers are brought together by a mysterious object that’s fallen from the sky, and then charged with stopping (or is it starting?) The Rapture. OK, iZombie—or for that matter, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt— doesn’t sound so effdup now. CW Complete Fall 2014 returning network series schedule online at CityWeekly.net.

THURSDAY 9.4

Funny or Die’s Oddball Festival arrives at Usana Amphitheatre with an embarrassment of stand-up comedy riches. The main-stage lineup alone consists of Louis C.K. (pictured), Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, Chris Hardwick, Demetri Martin, Hannibal Buress, Jeff Ross and Whitney Cummings—and those are just the members of the tour coming to Salt Lake City. It’s like the Traveling Wilburys, except much younger and (with the exception of Jeff Lynne’s hair) funnier. Everyone on the tour is a headliner.

That being said, this is a singular time to catch Louis C.K. His FX series Louie has elevated his career, and given that the show often eschews laughs for drama and surrealism, one might speculate that he’s saving a wealth of funny stuff for his standup.

Singling him out is not to slight the rest of the lineup: Hardwick, a fixture of geek/nerd culture, is riding the high from his popular Comedy Central show @midnight and the Nerdist podcast. Ross and Silverman are institutions, Ansari and Martin are well on their way, and Burress and Cummings are terrific.

An additional benefit of this type of tour, with so many of the performers having nonoverlapping fanbases, is the chance to observe a wide variety of comedic styles. And there is also enough overlap that the experience won’t be too dissonant—just a fine, very funny night of live entertainment. (Danny Bowes) Oddbal Comedy Festival @ Usana Amphitheatre, 5150 S. 6055 West, West Valley City, 801-417-5343, Sept. 6, 5 p.m., $35-$79.75. OddballFest.com

WEDNESDAY 9.10 Dav Pilkey: Captain Underpants

If there has ever been an author who tapped into exactly how the brain of a 10-year-old boy works, it’s Dav Pilkey. His popular Captain Underpants series features two boys of about that age—George and Harold—caught up in the adventures of a superhero who runs around in tighty-whiteys battling villains like Professor Poopypants, Wicked Wedgie Woman and Bionic Booger Boy. And the Underpants series is also loaded with funny nuggets for adults, such as a naming the school secretary Miss Anthrope, or a teacher Ms. Tara Ribble.

Everything is comic-book-style potty talk, and the only ones keeping the world from being destroyed are the kids and a guy in his underwear. A series of books with that premise will, of course, be a best-seller, while also topping the American Library Association’s 2012 list of Most banned books.

Undaunted, Pilkey is back with the ninth entry in the series, Captain Underpants & the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000. The new tome brings back the villainous Turbo Toilet 2000, which devours everything that gets in its way. Once again, it’s up to George, Harold and Captain Underpants to save humanity.

Pilkey be at The King’s English Bookshop for a reading and to sign copies of the newly published book. Places in signing line will be reserved for those who pre-order the book from the store.

The beginning of September marks a celebrated tradition for the Greek community in Utah: the Greek Festival. The annual fundraiser for the local Greek Orthodox Church, now in its 39th year, is always a weekend of good food, entertainment and, well, fun for the whole family. Let’s face it: During festival time, we all become a bit Greek.

You can enjoy some freshly made spanakopita while you bask in the Greek culture. And the Greek music, dancers, arts and crafts provide just as much reason to attend as the authentic food does. The festival and its attendance have grown over the years, making it the largest cultural festival in Utah, so be prepared to wait in line—but when you are finally able to feast on a gyro or pastitsio, your taste buds will thank you.

The festival takes up an entire block of downtown, so take the time to wander the festival to find all it has to offer, including the Hellenic Museum in the basement of Holy Trinity Cathedral, the first such ethnic Greek museum in the United States.

Also, in keeping with tradition, the gym of the Holy Trinity Cathedral will be full of Greek desserts; you would be remiss to leave the festival without a wedge of baklava or delicious melomakarona.

Memory is always incomplete. It’s a narrative constructed from pieces of evidence that together create the semblance of a whole. Hotel Palenque is an assembly of photographs of a hotel in Palenque, Mexico, a Mayan architectural site, taken in 1969 by the late earth artist Robert Smithson. Construction of the hotel was never completed, and even then, the natural environment was beginning to recover the site, undergrowth bristling up around its foundations. Thus the slideshow is an uncanny record of human aspiration—memories of what might have been.

Smithson made his mark on our geographic and artistic memory with groundbreaking landart works like the awe-inspiring Spiral Jetty. A 2012 University of Utah Museum of Fine Arts retrospective showcased the works of his wife, Nancy Holt, who created the Sun Tunnels. The two of them were founders of an entire artistic movement that still seeks to examine our relationship with the environment. Hotel Palenque is one of Smithson’s projects that, for him, is unusually detached, but is still profound in what it reveals. The exhibit also includes a recording of a lecture given by Smithson in 1972.

Archeology and earth works retain a presence even in the face of societal change, but from the moment they are snapped, photographs exist in the past, and thus embody a kind of wistfulness and nostalgia. With this exhibition, Smithson’s photographs show us that more than anything, memory is reconstitution, in the way it seeks to reassemble and redeem the past.

Harley Working

Utah native Chad Hardin breaks into the big time of comic-book artists.

By Gavin Sheehan comments@cityweekly.net @gavinsundrgrnd

W

hen DC Comics announced at the 2013 Baltimore Comic-Con that it was launching a brand-new series featuring Batman villain Harley Quinn with Utahn Chad Hardin as one of the principal artists, Hardin was across the country at the inaugural Salt Lake Comic Con, signing prints and meeting fans.

“I knew about it before SLCC, but I was under strict orders from DC to not talk about it, and they wanted to really control every interview and press release,” Hardin says. “Jeff Vice and Lynn Walker tweeted the DC press release before I knew about it.” Hardin says he then “got to spill the beans” during a panel on the last day of the convention.

Now, this year, Hardin returns to Salt Lake Comic Con as a local celebrity who has put his own touch on the DC universe. Hardin is scheduled to be in the Artists’ Alley all three days of the 2014 convention, and will take part in multiple panels.

His career is a dream come true for the Cedar Citybased artist, who grew up loving comic books. Favortes were X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Batman and Usagi Yojimbo, with creators like Masamune Shirow, Mike Mignola, A rthur Adams and Todd McFarlane inf luencing his style. After earning his bachelor’s degree in illustration from Southern Utah University, Hardin broke into the freelancer market with video games, where he did everything from promotional advertising to in-game artwork. His talents landed him a gig with Boom! Studios, working on titles like Fists of Justice and Warhammer, but Hardin knew he wanted to work on bigger projects.

“Boom! has always treated me excellently, and I wish I could say I’ve treated them as well as they treated me,” Hardin says. “One of the hardest things about climbing the career ladder in comics is eventually you need to seek jobs that come from larger publishers, but I count the work I did with Boom! as the work that turned me from a rookie into a professional. Especially my work on Stan Lee’s Traveler, which I still consider one of the highlights of my career.”

Hardin eventually landed gigs with both DC and Marvel Comics through talent searches, hitting up editors until assignments came his way. Over the years, he was able to apply his aesthetic touch to characters like Zantana, Blue Beetle and Spider-Man. During this time, he also landed a gig with Dark Horse Comics, working on the Dragon Age series, and got an MFA from the Acadamy of Art. “Getting to draw Spider-Man was wish fulfillment on a massive level,” but working with DC was an even better experience, Hardin says. “They always returned my artwork; they always sent paper. They just seemed to have it together.”

So when DC hit the reset button on their entire universe in 2011 and started running the New 52 titles, Hardin already had an impressive résumé and proven work ethic that put him in the minds of head artist Amanda Conner and writer Jimmy Palmiotti. He was handpicked by the duo with no audition or design tests, and has been at the artistic helm of almost every issue since Harley Quinn No. 1 launched in November 2013.

The series takes Gotham’s prankster princess—along with some familiar faces and newer names—to Coney Island, where all sorts of mayhem and humor ensues. The series has out-sold projections around the country.

A page from DC’s Harley Quinn series (top) illustrated by Utah artist Chad Hardin (right) “It’s awesome because we all have arrested development,” Hardin says. “Jimmy and A manda are t wo people who love comics. Lots of people want to elevate comics to a higher art form; we like playing in the mud. That’s why this book has done gangbusters when no one expected it to. It’s a fun book.

It’s a book that hasn’t forgotten that comics were meant to be fun.” CW

Remote Control Wilderness first-aid knowledge is an essential tool for outdoor recreation.

By Katherine Pioli comments@cityweekly.net

W

aking up in the passenger seat of his friend’s car on a recent trip to Jackson Hole, Nate Smith expected to see the canine tooth of Grand Teton reaching across the sky. Instead, he saw a wrecked motorcycle on the side of highway 189 and a small gaggle of men standing around a body. In a split second, Smith’s one-day bouldering vacation turned into a medical-response incident.

Luckily, Smith—co-founder of Mountain Education & Development LLC (MED), a Salt Lake City-based outdoor recreation and medical training company—was well-equipped and trained for just such situations. Even though the incident was along a highway and not in the backwoods, the remote location and slow response time from the local emergency medical system made his wilderness first-aid knowledge invaluable.

Pulling over, Smith and his friends grabbed a medical kit out of the back of the car, slipping on a pair of gloves as they approached the scene. The motorcyclist, who had lost control coming out of a bend along the dangerous Hoback Canyon road, had flipped multiple times. He had not been wearing a helmet. The situation looked grim, but, remaining professional and calm, Smith began assessing the victim.

Whether it’s an automobile accident on the side of a remote highway, a snake bite on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, a broken femur while canyoneering in the desert, or a bad fall while back-country skiing, wilderness first aid (WFA) training—or the more in depth wilderness first responder training—is essential knowledge for anyone who goes anywhere more than an hour away from professional medical assistance.

Starting Sept. 8, Smith and some MED colleagues will be teaching a four-evening wilderness first aid class hosted by Black Diamond and held at the Black Diamond

A&E

Mountain Education Development leads a Wilderness First Aid training in Kenya.

store. The class will cover emergency basics, starting with patient assessment, how to conduct a head-to-toe exam and how to check vitals. Students will learn the best responses to major injuries such as head trauma and spinal injuries, and to address common threats like sprains and allergic reactions. The class will also help dispel medical myths such as what to do for snakebites (Answer: Don’t suck out the venom, keep the victim’s heart rate low and get them to a hospital for the anti-venom).

MED classes are hands-on and scenario-based, with an emphasis on student discussion and problem solving.

The course is recognized nationally; upon successful completion, students receive a t wo-year certif ication. Check out MountainED.com for upcoming classes.

“Anyone who is going to recreate outside, especially if they have family and take kids, should have wilderness first-aid training,” Smith says. “A good introduction to these concepts will help people recognize emergency situations and, when there isn’t an EMT around the corner, have the practical tools to take care of common or simple problems. When you’re out there, you need to feel comfortable improvising, using a shirt to stop bleeding or turning a trekking pole into a splint. Taking a [wilderness first aid] course can be really eye-opening.”

The course can also be helpful in ways not immediately apparent. Being able to handle such situations calmly, professionally and with confidence can make it easier to recover from the experience afterward.

It’s a profound feeling, Smith says, reflecting on his own recent experience with the motorcycle crash. Even after the fire marshal and an ambulance arrived, Smith and his friends remained active on the scene.

“We integrated right into the EMS system,” Smith says. “We were able to assist through the whole process.” CW

THURSDAY 9.4 Sarina Villareal

The concept of memory degradation and the effects of short-term memory loss are subjects of artistic exploration for artist Sarina Villareal. In her current show at 15th Street Gallery, these provocative ideas have inspired equally evocative abstract paintings. Villareal is testing “a process of study disengagement and re-creation in my abstract paintings,” she says, experimenting with what she calls “memory-trace.” As the artist herself re-engages with subjects after being disengaged from them, the quality of recall—which is either present, lost or requires “artistic liberties”—can be psychologically revealing.

As a result, her subjects—mostly flowers (an untitled example is shown)—are artistic gestures of color, line and abstract form, and either are the product of restored memory or, according to Villareal, demonstrate the implications of memory compensation.

The result is works that are minimal, gestural, impulsive and entirely the product of a creative energy. When memories are lost, artistic creativity proves an ability to compensate. (Ehren Clark) Sarina Villareal @ 15th Street Gallery, 1519 S. 1500 East, 801468-1515, through Sept. 15, free.

FRIDAY 9.5

Good Company Theatre: The Waiters In the 21st century, it often feels that more relationships begin in the virtual world than—as kids these days abbreviate it—“IRL.” Sometimes those initial online interactions provide a clear foundation for something stable and genuine— and sometimes the differences between these venues for communication result in considerable complications.

JulieAnn Carter-Winward’s one-act play The Waiters—in its world-premiere production at Ogden’s Good Company Theatre—offers a funny and poignant look at the tricky ways people try to navigate the transitions between virtual-world and real-world communication. It focuses on three couples at different stages in that process: two singles meeting for the first

THURSDAY 9.4 Utah State Fair

Live animals, Ferris wheels and a plethora of fried foods … yep, it’s time for the Utah State Fair.

What started as a small gathering 159 years ago has grown into a 10-day event that brings some pretty big headliners to entertain the crowds. On the docket this year are acts including The Beach Boys (Sept. 8), Grand Funk Railroad (Sept. 12) and Disney Channel’s Zendaya (Sept. 13).

Additional grandstand entertainment includes high-flying, 360-degree flipping BMX athletes, and—for the cowboy in all of us—the traditional rodeo, horse show, truck pull and barrel racing. And kids will enjoy K9s in flight as dogs dive for objects high in the air before landing in a pool.

As always, the Utah State Fair promotes Utah’s Own products that are locally grown and prepared from all over the state through agriculture and horticulture displays and competitions.

(Aimee Cook O’Brien) Utah State Fair @ Utah State Fairpark, 155 N 1000 West, 801-538-8400, Sept. 4-14, $7-$10, ages 5 and under free. UtahStateFair.com time after a month of online chatting; two people not sure what their social-media interaction is leading toward; and a married couple patching up their relationship after the virtual world comes between them. Being human together can be tricky when you can’t use emojis. (Scott Renshaw) The Waiters @ Good Company Theatre, 260 25th St., Ogden, 801-513-5665, Sept.

SATURDAY 9.6

Michael Pitre: Fives & Twenty-Fives Michael Pitre’s debut novel about the Iraq War experience gains most of its power from the author’s direct, even-handed presentation of its events. Neither dogmatically pro- or anti-war, the novel focuses, instead of making political points, on the wants and needs of its ensemble of characters.

A veteran of two deployments with the Marines, Pitre delivers a novel supporting the oftstated truism that tall tales are told by those who have not truly been to war; those who have seen it for themselves do not embellish. By Pitre’s own admission, he wrote Fives & Twenty-Fives—a reference to Marine procedure for securing different radii around explosive devices—for fellow veterans struggling to reintegrate with civilian society after their tours, and even more importantly “to [bring] greater attention to the suffering of the Iraqi people. Whatever danger, discomfort or dread was experienced by even the

most battle-hardened Marine cannot compare to what the average Iraqi family endured on a daily basis.” (Danny Bowes) Michael Pitre: Fives & Twenty-Fives @ The King’s English Bookshop, 1511 S. 1500 East, 801-484-9100, Sept. 6, 7 p.m., free.

SATURDAY 9.6

Salt Lake Pagan Pride Day

“Pride” events of any kind are often misunderstood as an attempt to stand apart from the general population. But when you’ve been demonized frequently over a long span of time—as has been true for anyone who self-identifies as a pagan— it’s comforting to have a place where your identity is accepted.

Salt Lake Pagan Pride Day provides an opportunity for the wider community to learn that the term is not about worship of the Christian devil, the mere existence of which your average pagan would approach with extreme skepticism.

Through a day of rituals and presentations, participants will celebrate ideas that are rarely considered in the dominant American culture: earth-centered spirituality, pre-Christian deity worship, awareness of the Divine Feminine and other practices that may fold many of these notions together.

Of course, vendors of food and other goods will also be on hand as well. (Scott Renshaw) Salt Lake Pagan Pride Day @ Murray Park, 5175 S. Parkside Drive, Murray, Sept.

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the film Jiro Dreams of Sushi, or even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eaten in some of the higher-end local sushi emporiums around town, you probably know that certain sushi is all about reverence.

When you put yourself in the hands of a sushi masterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;preferably eating omakase styleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;dining can morph into a quasi-religious experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had such experiences, ones where the sushi making and eating culminate in a dining synergy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost spiritual.

Well, Sushi Groove ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that.

If, on the other hand, you sometimes think, like me, that sushi is just foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like any other food, and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the big fussâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really going to love Sushi Groove.

The name says all you need to know: Eating at a place called Sushi Groove isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be a holy or transcendent, life-altering dining experience. But it sure is fun.

Sushi Groove just celebrated its fourth anniversary, and so I thought it was about time I got my butt over there. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until I joined a buddy and his two kids for lunch there that I began to put the pieces together. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realized that Sushi Grooveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d mistakenly thought was a sad, all-you-can-eat sushi jointâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was, in fact, the brainchild of Dave Ayala.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d first encountered Ayala, an outgoing, fast-talking Pittsburgh transplant, at the sushi bar in Snowbirdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aerie Restaurant, and then as head sushi chef at the nowdefunct Go Sushi. I remember being struck at his enthusiasm around sushi, and also his lack of pretension. He wants his customers to enjoy his sushi, not necessarily worship it.

The atmosphere at Sushi Grooveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with its graffiti-style wall murals, live DJs, and funky vibeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is a giveaway that this is not one of the houses of the holy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people come in and say my restaurant isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t romantic enough,â&#x20AC;? Ayala says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The name Sushi Groove should be a hint that this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fine dining restaurant!â&#x20AC;?

And yet, the dining at Sushi Groove really is fine. The food is top-notch, the service is terrific and the ambiance is, well ... groovy.

When was the last time you heard the Allman Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Wastinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Time No Moreâ&#x20AC;? wafting from the sound system at your sushi bar?

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dining alone or with a crowd, the staff at Sushi Grooveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from servers to sushi chefsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;really goes out of

THE OTHER PLACE RESTAURANT

Yearsley is a character, with his long gray mustache and drawl. A former cattle breeder, he started the catering company after a successful family dinner using Dutch ovens. Using simple recipes and fresh ingredients, he makes the kind of comfort food we all dream about. A recent lunch included tender barbecue turkey that was as flavorful as it was moist. Corn on the cob, picked that morning, made a delicious side dish, along with rich, cheesy potatoes studded with chunks of ham.

Cornbread was served with housemade honey butter. For dessert, peach cobbler was served hot, with vanilla ice cream melting on top. Housemade rootbeer was made on site, complete with dry ice.

Yearsley is 73 and still going strong, thanks to his positive outlook on life.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavily invested in his community, working with the 4H and other youth groups. In fall 2002, he received the Point of Light award from former Gov. Mike Leavitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must always keep a good sense of humor. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take yourself too seriously,â&#x20AC;? he warns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are enough people out there who are legends in their own minds.â&#x20AC;?

The food is outstanding, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accompanied by quite a lively show.

Yearsley sets up early, and cooks everything right in front of the guests, sharing his cowboy wisdom. Cow Camp Catering is willing to travel throughout the state, and will happily cater groups as small as nine or as large as 700. CW

BEER, WINE & SPIRITS

Woman of Wine R.I.P., Baroness Philippine de Rothschild.

By Ted Scheffler comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

A

lthough the industry has changed a lot in the past couple of decades, the world of wine is still largely a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. Sure, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been outliers like Madame Clicquot and Mary Penfold and, more recently, winemakers such as Helen Turley, Susie Selby and writer Jancis Robinson. And in August, one of the monumental women of wine passed away at 80 years old: Baroness Philippine de Rothschild.

Philippine Mathilde Camille de Rothschild took over the operation of her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine estatesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which included Bordeauxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly touted first-growth Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, along with Chateau Clerc-Milon, Chateau

dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Armailhac, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Cadet and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;following the passing of her father, vintner Baron Philippe de Rothschild, in 1988.

And, although the Rothschild name is synonymous with wealth and luxury, Rothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was not always insulated from the tragedies of the real world.

At 10, she saw the Gestapo arrest her Jewish-born mother, who would later die during World War II at the RavensbrĂźck concentration camp.

Rothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional life began far from the world of wine, in the theater.

Following her 1958 graduation from the Paris Conser vatoire National Superieur dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;A rt Dramatique, under the stage name Philippine Pascal, she appeared in French productions of Harold & Maude, and shared the stage w ith Catherine Deneuve during a production of La ComĂŠdie Française. Her f irst marriage was to actor-director Jacques Sereys.

By the early 1980s, Rothschild was becoming increasingly involved in her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine business, particularly with Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, for which she created a traveling exhibition of the original art used to create MoutonRothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic wine labels. Over the years, the original paintings for the

DRINK labels have been produced by artists such as Picasso, Dali, Koons, Chagall, MirĂł and others. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m particularly fond of the whimsical 2006 label made by Lucien Freud, featuring a cartoon-like zebra looking curiously at a vinestock that has morphed into a palm tree.

Rothschild was personally involved in the selection of the artist for each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mouton-Rothschild label, and was a passionate supporter of the arts throughout her life.

A very hands-on proprietor, Rothsch i ld super v ised the renovation of the Chateau MoutonRothschild, which was just finished in 2013, and renovated Chateau Clerc-Milon, which is now recognized as one of Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenest, most environmentally friendly wineries.

During her tenure as head of the Rothschild wine empire, she helped to increase both the quality of her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wines and grow sales worldwide, even producing wine in the New Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;teaming with Robert Mondavi to create Opus One in Napa Valley, and making wine in Chile.

Today, the company she helped build sells approximately $350,000,000 worth of wine annually.

My opportunities to drink Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Bordeaux have been few and far between. The 2011 vintage sells for $1,133 a bottle, which means I probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tasting it any time soon. Not long ago, a case of the legendary 1945 vintage sold for more than $31,000 at auction.

But you can afford wine with the Mouton name on it. Mouton Cadet red and white Bordeaux sells for a mere $9.99 per bottle.

The Sauvignon Blancdom i nated Mouton Cadet Blanc is a terrific, all-purpose Bordeaux that pairs beautifully with shellfish and light chicken dishes. Mouton Cadet Rouge is equally versatileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a great red Bordeaux with classic cassis and blackberry notes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good choice for sipping alongside a juicy grilled steak.

The re-imagined Hearth on 25th maintains the standard of excellence of its predecessor, the award-winning Jasoh. The downtown Ogden eatery focuses on fire cooking, so the hearth is the center of the kitchen.

Local produce and meats elevate Hearth on 25thâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuisine, and this care for food is manifest in dishes such as the Salita pizza, an oven-fired pie topped with Creminelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Calabrese pepperoni, house-pulled mozzarella, Parmesan, sun-dried tomato, walnut pesto, fresh basil and balsamic vinegar. Main entrees include seared Himalayan yak served with quinoa, fresh carrotginger puree, bok choy and crispy shallots. And Hearthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housemade pasta, olive oils and vinegars are available to purchase in the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantry, so you can re-create favorite meals at home. 195 25th St., Suit 6, Ogden, 801-399-0088, Hearth25.com

REVIEW BITES

A sampler of Ted Scheffler’s reviews Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

I spend as little time in chain restaurants as possible, but I do make an exception for Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, which serves excellent food and offers an outstanding wine list. Customers eating in the lounge area can dine at an upscale steakhouse without paying steakhouse prices, thanks to a special menu with a choice of five bar bites each priced at $6 until 7 p.m. These amazing bar “bites”—like the sweet-chili calamari and the fist-size mini-round of baked Brie wrapped in puff pastry—are closer to entreesize portions. And the à la carte Fleming’s Prime burger ($6 till 7 p.m.) has to be the best burger deal in town: a half-pound burger made with top-quality ground Prime beef, topped with peppered bacon and choice of cheese on a fluffy, glistening challah bun. And that, my friends, is why I’m something of a Fleming’s fanatic. Reviewed Aug. 28.

The Brass Tag

At Deer Valley Resort’s Brass Tag restaurant, virtually everything—including the perfect 16-ounce Niman Ranch roasted beef rib-eye steak—is cooked in the restaurant’s big brick oven, at temperatures averaging between 500 and 650 degrees Fahrenheit. But The Brass Tag is not just another in a long line of the wood-fired or brick-oven pizza trend—there’s not even pizza on the menu. Service is exceptionally friendly and professional, to match the top-quality oven-cooked comfort food. As befits the casual vibe, you could pop in for nothing more than an appetizer or small plate and a brew, or you could go big with a multicourse dinner, cocktails and maybe a bottle of wine. Score another success for Deer Valley Resort. Reviewed Aug. 21. 2900 Deer Valley Drive South, Park City, 435615-2410, DeerValley.com

fall movie preview

Before the Fall

CINEMA

City Weekly film writers look at their most anticipated movies for the rest of 2014.

Gone Girl

By Scott Renshaw, MaryAnn Johanson, Andrew Wright & Danny Bowes comments@cityweekly.net

Scott Renshaw

E

very cinematic fall brings talk of “awards season,” and the titles almost certain to draw either critical praise or Oscar voters’ love, if not both. But I find myself perversely fascinated by the titles that have a chance of being really good, but could also crash in a pile of flaming suckitude wreckage.

David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo wasn’t particularly impressive, yet his stellar overall track record suggests there’s still a chance he could score with adapting another pop-phenomenon novel, Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, starring Ben Aff leck as the husband suspected of killing his missing wife.

Walt Disney Animation has emerged from the shadow of Pixar after Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph and the Frozen phenomenon, and may have another winner with the Marvel Comics property Big Hero 6, about a Japanese superhero team. And despite the many (perhaps justified) gripes of fans about what director Rob Marshall did to Chicago and Nine, my Sondheim jones keeps hope alive that Marshall’s Into the Woods could retain the stage musical’s dark magic.

Interstellar

Andrew Wright

R

are is the case of Birdman in the 24/7 movie news era.

Every tidbit of released information (Michael Keaton as a washed-up actor who once played a superhero? Shot in what appears to be a single take? That publicity photo of Edward Norton in a Speedo?) makes it seem more of a mystery. While director Alejandro González Iñárritu has battled increasing waves of pretension as a filmmaker, this thing sounds daffy enough to absolutely demand your eyeballs.

Daniel Radcliffe goes dark in Horns, an adaptation of Joe Hill’s almost-great book about a grieving man who wakes up with supernatural forehead extensions. Director Alexandre Aja’s past work has drifted between ambitious gross-outs (High Tension) and knowingly guilty pleasures (Piranha 3D), but his movies have never, ever been boring.

Liam Neeson steps into the gumshoes of alcoholic P.I. Matthew Scudder in A Walk Among the Tombstones, a long-gestating take on Lawrence Block’s melancholy crime novel. While Neeson in annual ass-kicker mode has yet to wear out his welcome, the main draw here may be the presence of screenwriter/ director Scott Frank, whose directorial debut The Lookout remains one of the great underappreciated modern noirs.

MaryAnn Johanson

I

’d be excited about a political drama starring Gael García Bernal and Shohreh Aghdashloo under any circumstances, but Rosewater gives me extra nerd tingle: it’s the film Jon Stewart took summer 2013 off from The Daily Show to write and direct. Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari was tortured in an Iranian prison after appearing in a parody segment of the news show, which prompted Stewart to dramatize a true story he inadvertently became a part of. Stewart has never made a narrative film before, but his passion is undeniable.

A new film from Norwegian director Morten Tyldum—who made the hilarious black comedy Headhunters—is a thing devoutly to be wished for. And here it is: The Imitation Game is a long overdue biopic of wartime codebuster and geek hero Alan Turing— portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch. Cinematic heaven? I am certainly hoping so.

I adore the gritty reality of David Ayer’s films, and his first

Birdman

foray into historical drama as director couldn’t be grittier: An inglourious basterd played by Brad Pitt leads an Allied tank crew on an impossible mission during the last days of war in Europe in 1945 in Fury. Expect much manliness.

Danny Bowes

R

egardless of one’s feelings for Christopher Nolan—mine are guardedly positive, for the most part—Interstellar seems to be something of a departure. Nolan’s previous big-budget outings have seen him tip his cap to the likes of Michael Mann and Stanley Kubrick, but all indications are that his latest is firmly in Spielberg territory. Not only did the project originate with Spielberg, but the trailers speak to an emotionalism that Nolan has often been critiqued—and even teased—for abjuring. Whether or not he’ll pull it off has me eagerly awaiting Nov. 7.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s latest, Birdman, is apparently shot so that it appears to be one seamless take—and frankly “Russian Ark with Michael Keaton in the lead” is all the persuasion I need. But my most anticipated movie of the fall is unambiguously Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice. Anderson’s past two outings have been astonishing accomplishments, on the level in cinema of Pynchon’s major novels. The meeting of one of America’s greatest living filmmakers and one of America’s greatest living novelists—especially on an adaptation of the latter’s most fun work—is enough to have me counting the days until its release.

Cantinflas HH Gonna have to call “false advertising” on that title. Sure, for around 60 percent of the time it’s a biography of beloved Mexican comedian Mario “Cantinflas” Moreno (Óscar Jaenada), following him from the creation of his trademark character in tent variety shows in the 1930s to eventual international movie-star celebrity; the rest is spent on producer Michael Todd’s (Michael Imperioli) efforts in 1955 to land big stars—including Cantinflas—for his planned film version of Around the World in Eighty Days. Jaenada’s loose-limbed energy carries much of the film through a predictable story arc, including tension in his marriage. The 1955-set material, however, just feels like ridiculous padding so characters like Elizabeth Taylor and Charlie Chaplin can make cameo appearances. There must be more to the career of a cinematic legend than suggesting he peaked with winning a Golden Globe.

Rich Hill HHHH Rich Hill is an ironically named Missouri “city” of 1,300 souls where hopelessness reigns among the fireworks and patriotic parades. Local filmmakers Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for this documentary about a year in the life of three teenage Rich Hill boys, and the filmmakers’ compassion for their subjects is matched only by the caustic undercurrent of rage at the utter collapse of the American dream. Andrew and his family are constantly moving as his father seeks work; Appachey is bipolar and left to his own devices by his mother, who figures it’s his “choice” to take his meds or not (he doesn’t); Harley suffers from uncontrollable anger, partially a reaction to his mother being in prison. Homes are all but unliveable, and health issues go untreated; abandonment and abuse

SPECIAL SCREENINGS

John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine, Devil) for finding a genuinely unnerving location, with the seemingly endless snaky tunnels creating an often armrest-abusing marvel of dusty claustrophobia. Unfortunately, some of the inherent creeping menace is undercut by a number of bargain-basement jump scares and some excessively prolonged bits of shaky-cam; those with a tendency toward motion sickness may want to consider packing a Big Gulp full of Dramamine. Still, the combination of spelunking and Ol’ Scratch is potent enough to bring on the whim-whams, even when clumsily executed. It works, often in spite of itself.

The One I Love HHH Once in a while, I’m forced to wonder if I simply blinked at the wrong moment in a movie, since something just isn’t making sense. That happened rounding the third-act bend in this fantastical romantic comedy in which unhappily married couple Ethan (Mark Duplass) and Sophie (Elisabeth Moss) take the advice of their therapist to get away together to an isolated retreat house. But the guesthouse on the property has a unique quality: Whenever each one of them enters, he or she finds a slightly ... improved version of their partner. It’s no small praise to say that for a while it evoked thoughts of Groundhog Day, while poking smartly at the idea of how committed people really are to accepting their significant others warts and all.

Then there’s a shift—and without venturing into spoilers, the character motivations become genuinely hard to follow. That confusion affects the kicker of a final shot, which—ambiguous though it may be—also feels like a tonal miscalculation given the bouncy dynamic of so much that precedes it. Is it edgy? A disappointing home-stretch for an otherwise winning film? Or an ill-timed blink? Opens Sept. 5 at Tower Theatre. (R)—SR

hover over all. This is an unvarnished look at a dysfunctional culture and a poverty—of wallet and spirit—the likes of which remains mostly hidden in the larger consciousness of America, even as it increasingly comes to define what America is today. Opens Sept. 5 at Broadway Centre Cinemas.

The Identical HH If you know your Elvis trivia, you know he had a twin brother who was stillborn—but what if he wasn’t? And what if that twin—given by his impoverished parents to an adoptive family who never told him of his true parentage—became famous as an uncanny Elvis impersonator? That’d be a terrific concept for a movie—and director Jerry Marcellino has little interest in making it. Veteran Elvis impersonator Blake Rayne stars as both the adopted Ryan and thinly fictionalized Elvis doppelganger Drexel Hemsley, in a narrative that focuses largely on Ryan trying to shake the expectations of his minister adopted father (Ray Liotta) while offering plenty of messages about doing what God has planned for us. But the problem isn’t the religious material; it’s that the rote family melodrama allows too little time to focus on the idea of a guy mimicking a twin he doesn’t know he has, while playing it straight-faced instead of for the inspired craziness it is. Some solid faux-Elvis original songs (by the director’s father & brother) only emphasize a missed opportunity that aims for “inspired,” but in all the wrong ways. Opens Sept. 5 at theaters valleywide. (PG)—Scott Renshaw

power by courting familiarity. Brenton Thwaites plays Jonas, the boy in a futuristic, rigidly organized society trained by his predecessor (Jeff Bridges) to become “Receiver of Knowledge”—where he learns that the world of the past was a very different place. Making Jonas an older teenager certainly changes things, but it’s more frustrating watching the bursts of manufactured drama like chase scenes and speeches that make sure we’re not missing The Point. The narrative still connects in its suggestion that we’d pay a price for societal homeostasis, as well as through Noyce’s smart visual choices.

It’s just a shame that making it easier to market has made it harder to love. (PG-13)—SR

Guardians of the Galaxy HHH.5 Where other comic-book fare has felt like action blockbusters with sprinkles of comic relief, James Gunn has been allowed to 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

Life of Crime HH.5 Or Jackie Brown: Origins, adapting the Elmore Leonard novel that preceded the source material for Tarantino’s 1997 masterpiece. Although the connection is tangential, one can’t help but hear Samuel L. Jackson in some of Yasiin Bey’s line readings, or see Robert De Niro in John Hawkes’ physicality.

But comparing Life of Crime to Jackie Brown isn’t entirely fair.

As a stand-alone, this is a pleasant enough crime caper, though almost entirely carried by its cast: Hawkes is his usual excellent self, but Mark Boone Junior stands out as the gun-crazed Nazi pervert who threatens to ruin the entire plan. “Pleasant enough” is about as far as the praise can go here; though an agreeable 90 minutes, it’s a bit unwieldly structurally, and ends on an odd note. Still, like its criminal protagonists, Life of Crime isn’t that bad. (R)—Danny Bowes

If I Stay HHH In one sense, director R.J. Cutler’s adaptation is scrupulously faithful to Gayle Forman’s novel, following 18-year-old Mia (Chloë Grace Moretz) on an out-of-body experience after a car accident leaves her fighting for her life. Like Forman’s novel, Shauna Cross’ screenplay weaves between flashbacks and events at the hospital, tracing the arc of Mia’s romance with on-the-rise rock star Adam (Jamie Blackley) and her relationship with her parents, often providing truly lovely, effectively tear-jerking character moments. Yet the movie can’t re-create the book’s elegiac stillness; when Moretz’s Mia learns a horrifying truth, she crumples to her knees, sobbing while dramatic music plays. Those occasions, blessedly, are few, yet they also show why a “faithful” adaptation isn’t just about telling the same story—because it actually isn’t the same story, as soon as you tell it in a different way. (PG-13)—SR

The November Man H.5 Pierce Brosnan plays Devereaux, an icy CIA veteran who’s pulled out of retirement to help someone close to him, then ends up facing his former protégé (Luke Bracey) as he attempts to mete out bloody vengeance, etc. The tangled plot eventually leads to a Russian politician with an inside track to the country’s presidency, and a series of generally humorless gunfights, knife slashings, shovel-in-the-face-ings and maybe a side order of rape. But without the Luke Besson touch of lurid entertainment, this thing flails at finding a point to the ugliness, with no real attempt to develop either the characters or the ideas about how much unpleasantness is necessary to serve the national interest.

There are ways to take this brand of generic badassery and make it not feel so generic, and considerably less unpleasant—but you won’t find them here. (R)—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. Once again, he’s following American G.I.s fighting in post-D-Day Europe; this time around, the setting is Germany circa spring 1945, where the last pockets of Nazi resistance threaten a patrol of M18 Hellcat tank destroyers. The character drama focuses mainly on tensions between a black soldier (K. Danor Gerald) and a racist corporal (Adam Gregory), with some unfortunately predictable interludes for speeches about the unfair treatment of black soldiers. But Gerald gives a rock-solid performance, while Little continues to craft effectively kinetic battlefield set pieces. The Void may set out to teach lessons in tolerance, but it’s better at teaching lessons about how you can still make an old-school war movie work. (PG-13)—SR

MUSIC

By Kolbie Stonehocker kstonehocker@cityweekly.net @vonstonehocker

T

With Porch Lights, what you see is what you get. emotion woven into the lyrics that more than a few of the songs—“Brick House” and “Lover’s Pills” especially—have a way of piercing the soul, which is echoed the album title.

“I did Caverns because every song on the album is about a cavern that I’ve felt about something,” Crellin says. “An empty space that I felt like needed to be filled.”

Since coming together as Porch Lights in April, Crellin and Brown haven’t applied their outside-the-box thinking just to how they create their music, but also to how they deliver that music. Porch Lights usually seek out intimate spaces such as houses and libraries for shows—their albumrelease concert will be held in a backyard overlooking the entire Utah Valley—with the hope the audience will emotionally engage with the music.

“The point of us making music has always been to make very personal connections with people,” Brown says. “I think that’s the goal we have with Porch Lights ... to transfer emotion, because no matter what we wrote a song about, it’s going to be about something very specific and very personal to someone else. We just want to be able to let people experience that and confront their emotions.”

And that connection probably wouldn’t have been possible if Porch Lights had tweaked every detail of Caverns to be perfect. For Crellin, trying to relate to overly produced music is impossible “because I feel like it’s inaccessible.”

That’s what makes Porch Lights’ welcoming music so magical: It exudes the warmth of the two people who made it.

“We’re not perfect … not just as musicians but as people,” Brown says. “So I feel like we want to come through as people in our music.” CW

CD REVIEW Sinkane

Sinkane, Mean Love HHH.5

Porch Lights connect to listeners through perfectly imperfect music.

here’s a level of “hands-on” involvement in recording an album that’s not much more than twiddling some knobs.

And then there’s the devoted DIY approach Provo indie-folk duo Porch Lights took with their debut album, Caverns.

Employing unconventional methods to create sounds, such as scattering dried plant tops on a snare drum so the tiniest crunch can be heard just before the drum is struck, and purposefully shaking a faulty cable to cause it to short out and make the vocals decay, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Corey Crellin and vocalist/pianist Emily Brown weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty during the recording process. They also didn’t shy away from letting the songs take on a life of their own, rough edges and all.

“The sound that we really wanted was we wanted it to be real, and so I feel like the imperfectness of the recording makes it perfect for me,” Crellin says.

Crellin, normally a solo musician who’d make bedroom recordings without the goal of performing them or getting them out into the world, didn’t go into the studio to record the songs from Caverns thinking he’d walk out as part of a band. But after vocalist Hannah Golightly contributed guest backing vocals on “Cabin in the Woods,” Crellin realized he wanted the album to have a continuous female presence.

He invited Brown—a former vocalist in Provo folk-rock group Book on Tape Worm who has also released a couple solo albums—to join in. She recorded harmonies on several tracks at Provo’s Studio Studio Dada—which Crellin says was chosen because “it’s not like your normal studio; it’s part of a house”—and the project suddenly turned a corner.

“When Emily came on, [the music] took on the more of, like, magical quality that you would actually really want to share with people,” Crellin says.

Once they decided to move forward as a band, Crellin and Brown chose the name Porch Lights as a reflection of the human, unembellished nature of their music, which they allowed to retain its immediacy by not buffing out mistakes with studio manipulation or other trickery.

“We really wanted it to be real,” Crellin says. “Even in the nature of the songwriting, there’s nothing in the music that was held back or garnished up or meant to appear as something other than the raw feeling that it was.”

Featuring mellow electric guitar, lap steel, banjo and gorgeous sonic texture, the delicate final result is as beautiful as if were dusted with gold, but also has a familiar, comfortable feel. It’s also often heartbreaking, with so much

Mean Love, the latest release from Sudan-born, Brooklyn-based singersongwriter Ahmed Gallab and his third full-length under the Sinkane name, is a slinky and sleek but earnest exploration of love’s many facets, as well as of his own emotional landscape. Laying bare the sticky feeling of finding oneself at the painful point between fleeting infatuation and committed L-O-V-E, Gallab weaves his alluring falsetto voice into a rich funk and jazz fabric that reflects his songs’ many moods.

“How We Be” begins Mean Love with a stunning dance between swaggering funk and luminous synths before melding into the groove of “New Name,” which juxtaposes thumping bass with fluttering flute. The frustration of unrequited love in “Yacha” is accented with an acidic, sizzling arrangement of organ and guitar, over which Gallab belts the lyrics “You can have it all/ or do you want to be thoughtless and far away?” One of the most striking sonic scenes on the album is the Latin-tinged “Moonstruck,” which seems to depict a sultry evening in a seaside city where beautiful people unknowingly break one another’s hearts. But the second-to-last track, “Son”—which concludes with Gallab delicately repeating, “I will not forget where I came from”—ends the album on a more grounded note, suggesting that whatever silly mind games occurred earlier, Gallab is turning his focus to what’s more important.

The Gotobeds, Poor People Are Revolting H.5 This Pittsburgh, Penn.-based punkrock foursome might have planned to come pillage and plunder, but midcharge, they got bored and flopped onto a couch instead. Featuring a possible double-entendre title, The Gotobeds debut album, Poor People Are Revolting, begins with a good amount of raw, fanged power—and man, is it a blast right at the beginning. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t last.

The rowdy first track, “Fast Trash,” shows The Gotobeds launching themselves into the album with abandon, and all that snotty attitude continues on “NY’s Alright,” with the eyebrow-raising first line “New York’s all right if you can get your dick sucked.” But although Poor People Are Revolting has the potential to be a crazy, drunken good time, it feels more like the kind of party where a few people end up watching a random movie together after everyone else has gone home. Things get too slow with the dragging “To and From” even if it’s somewhat redeemed by the cool surf-y vibe of “Wimpy Garcia,” and “Affection” is more of the same safely-in-the-lines stuff, with the repetitive, silly chorus of “Affection, affliction.” And final track “Secs Tape” meanders on for more than 10 minutes, for an overblown ending that the rest of the album hasn’t given a foundation.

walls of noisy guitar and bewitching vocals from Kim and Kelley—is what continued to define the band.

Before the Deals got back together with Wiggs and MacPherson to play the songs from Last Splash—including mega-hit single “Cannonball”—Kelley says she wondered if it would work, of if The Breeders could only exist in the ’90s, asking herself, “What about working with those people was so special? What if we tried that again, would it still be special, or was it just the time?”

But the chemistry was instantaneous, like talking to an old friend, Kelley says.

“You can go right back to that time and feel like nothing’s changed, like you absolutely just picked up the conversation exactly where you left off. Now on one hand, that’s a really wonderful thing, [but] it does make you think, ‘Oh my god, have I not changed? Has nobody changed? What have we learned in 20 years?’ ” After giving Last Splash its day, Kelley and the rest of the band are back at the “really interesting work” of writing new music, a process she approaches with utmost attention to detail. “It’s one to thing to say, ‘I’m an architect, I like to design buildings,’ and you sit there and you draw a picture of a building,” she says. “That’s not what designing a building is about. It’s about getting in there and finding your stress test and whatever materials and engineering and stuff.” Finding how the music’s components should all fit together, she says, is “engineering a song, in a way.”

There’s no release date for an album yet, but one thing that’s certain is Kelley and Kim are still as devoted as ever to making penetrating, visceral rock.

“At the end of what we’re doing,” she says, “whatever emotion, it doesn’t even really matter what the emotion is, as long as there is one at the end of it.” CW

elley Deal has every right to take on the role of a too-cool-for-this rock star in interviews. After all, she and her identical twin sister—lead vocalist/ rhythm guitarist and former Pixies bassist Kim Deal—head influential ’90s alt-rock band The Breeders, tourmates of Nirvana and creators of the legendary 1993 platinum album Last Splash. But instead, she begins this interview by commenting on the current dismal weather in her hometown of Dayton, Ohio, saying that the pouring rain makes her “want to go back to bed.”

She’s similarly down to earth when discussing The Breeders’ humble beginnings, as well as the band’s current state of being.

In 2013, the Last Splash-era lineup of the Deal sisters, bassist Josephine Wiggs and drummer Jim MacPherson came together after an almost 20-year hiatus to embark on a tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Last Splash, but the reformation birthed more than nostalgia. The Breeders are now “testing the waters,” Kelley says, with being a full-fledged band again, writing their first new material since 1993 and playing those songs on a tour that will conclude at a show with Neutral Milk Hotel in Los Angeles.

But before The Breeders were catapulted into international stardom, the band was an occasional duo made up of the teenage Kelley and Kim, who were writing music that they’d perform at truck stops and in bars they were too young to be in.

Isolated in their small Midwestern hometown, unable to draw inspiration from larger acts, “we didn’t have this vision of anything because we were so naïve,” Kelley says. “We didn’t even know what to do next or anything, so we just played together.”

Kim reused the name when she started The Breeders officially in 1989, but the band went on hiatus in 1994 when lead guitarist Kelley entered rehab for heroin addiction. The Breeders would continue to release music and play shows with various lineups, but the strange magic of Last Splash—with its meandering bass lines,

Colony House Upon first glance, Franklin, Tenn., indie-rock trio Colony House—named for an apartment complex in their hometown that all the band members have lived in—play a catchy, digestible style of pop that’s easy to tap your toes and sing along to. But underneath all that sunny guitar and warm textural layers is a gritty rock feel and contemplative lyrics that ground the band’s sound, making a listening experience that’s entertaining but emotionally substantial. Lead singer/ guitarist and principal songwriter Caleb Chapman echoes that in a press release about the band’s debut full-length album, When I Was Younger, released in July: “Creating this record had such a strong set of contrasting emotions: joy, hope, frustration, sorrow, uncertainty, confidence.”

Knox Hamilton and Little Barefoot will also perform. Kilby Court, 741 S. Kilby Court (330 West), 7:30 p.m., $10, KilbyCourt. com; limited no-fee tickets available at CityWeeklyStore.com Monophonics Funk/psychedelic soul music is one of those magical things that always satisfies, and San Francisco five-piece Monophonics is making sure the world gets its fill of the good stuff.

Created with wah guitar, organ, bongos and a nasty horn section, Monophonics’ sound is a veritable musical time machine to the funkier days of the ’60s and ’70s, in a similar vein as contemporaries Orgone. With mind-blowingly good releases including 2010’s Into the Infrasounds and 2007’s Playin & Simple under their belt, Monophonics have shown they can take these classic sounds and truly make them their own. Looking forward, Monophonics plan to release a new full-length album sometime this year. Local funk-rock/jam band Marinade and DJ Street Jesus will start things off.

Kurtis Blow There’s something about the intro to Kurtis Blow’s 1980 classic the “The Breaks” that gets me every time. I can’t help but get pumped whenever I hear the line, “Clap your hands everybody/ if you got what it takes/ ’cause I’m Kurtis Blow and I want you to know/ that these are the breaks!” KRS-One and Timbaland would agree; these two (plus a handful of others) have given nods to, reworked or sampled it for their own tracks. One of hip-hop’s first mega hits, “The Breaks” is also the reason that commanding your fans to clap is beyond iconic at this point. It’s practically a rap mantra. And that’s the thing about Kurtis Blow; the man is a legend, a pioneer, a rapper who paved the way for household names like Run DMC and The Fat Boys and, of course, doing so while looking incredible in leather pants and a fresh Jheri curl. Atheist and Matty Mo are also performing.

LIVE Static Waves Album Release Provo indie-rock/alt-rock five-piece Static Waves hit the ground running when they came together in January. They’ve been “constantly practicing, writing and exploring our sound,” says lead vocalist Jesse Williams, and also performing frequently throughout Utah County—they were even finalists at Velour’s Battle of the Bands in June. And they’re keeping all that good momentum going by releasing their selftitled debut EP at this show. Produced

by Eric Robertson at Pleasant Pictures, Static Waves is guitar-driven but danceable, with touches of poppy electro floating over a hard-hitting rock foundation. Earwormworthy songs like “Prisoners” and “Love Shot Eyes” will easily get stuck in your head, and mellower track “Pull Me Closer” really

Static Waves

shows off Williams’ strong vocals. Drew Rindlisbacher and Violet Waves will also perform. Velour, 135 N. University Ave., 8:30 p.m., $7, VelourLive.com

Habits prides itself on looking great, providing a clean environment and making sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dressed to kill on Friday and Saturday nights (yes, they enforce the dress code). The recessed dance floor, presided over

by DJ Scotty B, is cool and unusualâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a boogie pit, if you will. It pairs well with the sound system, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to burn off the delicious calories from Habitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full menu of steaks, sushi, burgers and appetizers. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poker on Sundays and Mondays and pool all the timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and a great many locals convene here for sports, too. 832 E. 3900 South, Salt Lake City, 801-268-2228, ClubHabits.com Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lounge

Founded in 1948, Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lounge claims to be among the longest continuously operated bars in Salt Lake City.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a huge menu of Mind Erasers that are sure to live up to their names. Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also has your appetite covered: You can bring in your own food, or they have a selection of menus from restaurants that deliver to the bar. 1716 S.

Celebrating 20 years of being super-ska superheroes, The Aquabats are no strangers to outrageous performances. Dressed in spandex and blasting a blend of pop, ska and rock, they have created a personality that sets them apart from other novelty bands. Their colorful costumes and upbeat songs about pool parties and pizza reach new youth and make for a fun night of nostalgia for older fans. The band specializes in elaborate and theatrical live shows, including banter and stage combat to reinforce their superhero identities. Also performing is Kepi Ghoulie, a perfect match to the wackiness of The Aquabats. (Rebecca Frost) Friday, Sept. 5 @ The Depot, 400 W.

Single Mothers London, Ontario, punk foursome Single Mothers seem to have their shit together these days, even if their early history was turbulent. Founding member and vocalist Drew Thompson started the band in 2008, but things were shaky lineup-wise, and Single Mothers broke up for a while after the release of their primal 2011 release, S/T EP, a gut-punching barrage of ear-splitting howls and badass guitar. But they gave it another go in 2012, when they set out on their first major tour. Since then, Single Mothers have been signed to Dine Alone Records, and are set to release their official debut album, Negative Qualities, on Oct. 7. Wearing Thin and Alexander Ortega are also on the bill. (Kolbie Stonehocker) Monday, Sept. 8 @ Kilby Court, 741 S.

“I love doing big transformations for people,” Schissler says.

“Bringing inner beauty out to the exterior, helping people make big changes, it’s so fun.”

Schissler has been a cosmetologist for over five years. She has worked at several other salons in the city, in addition to teaching at the Paul Mitchell School of Cosmetology before opening S3. She loves owning her own salon, setting her own schedule, and the opportunity to meet different people. “It’s never repetitive,” she says.

Not only is Schissler’s résumé impressive, but also her clients love her. “I have been going to Sarah for years,” says Salt Lake City resident Kristen Logan. “She keeps track of colors and cut styles so when I go in for touchups, she knows exactly what colors I want and what I did for my last style.

She is creative and amazing with her hands—I would recommend her to anyone!”

Salt Lake City resident Hailey Woodside agrees. “Sarah is an amazing colorist,” she says. “And the scalp massage she gives you is incredible.”

S3 specializes in men, women, and children’s hair, including cuts, coloring, perms, extensions, deep conditioning, and scalp treatments. Schissler is available to style hair for special events, like weddings and high school dances. She also does eyelash extensions.

S3 offers hair styling products for sale, including Paul Mitchell, Redkin, Pureology, Tressa, Marrakesh, and TIGI. And for clients seeking a new look for their homes as well as their hair, S3 also fea-

ARIES (March 21-April 19) I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but I’m going to suggest that you monitor the number six. My hypothesis is that six has been trying to grab your attention, perhaps even in askew or inconvenient ways. Its purpose? To nudge you to tune in to beneficial influences that you have been ignoring. I furthermore suspect that six is angling to show you clues about what is both the cause of your unscratchable itch and the cure for that itch. So lighten up and have fun with this absurd mystery, Aries. Without taking it too seriously, allow six to be your weird little teacher.

Let it prick your intuition with quirky notions and outlandish speculations. If nothing comes of it, there will be no harm done.

If it leads you to helpful discoveries, hallelujah.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In English, the rare word “trouvaille” means a lucky find or an unexpected windfall. In French, “trouvaille” can refer to the same thing and even more: something interesting or exceptional that is discovered fortuitously; a fun or enlightening blessing that’s generated through the efforts of a vigorous imagination.

Of course I can’t guarantee that you will experience a trouvaille or two (or even three) in the coming days, Taurus. But the conditions are as ripe as they can be for such a possibility.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I’m not opposed to you fighting a good fight. It’s quite possible you would become smarter and stronger by wrangling with a worthy adversary or struggling against a bad influence. The passion you summon to outwit an obstacle could bestow blessings not only on you but on other people, as well. But here’s a big caveat: I hope you will not get embroiled in a showdown with an imaginary foe. I pray that you will refrain from a futile combat with a slippery delusion.

Choose your battles carefully, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) During the next six weeks, I suggest you regard symbiosis as one of your key themes. Be alert for ways you can cultivate more interesting and intense forms of intimacy. Magnetize yourself to the joys of teamwork and collaboration. Which of your skills and talents are most useful to other people? Which are most likely to inspire your allies to offer you their best skills and talents? I suggest you highlight everything about yourself that is most likely to win you love, appreciation and help.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 | 59

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “I have a hypothesis that everyone is born with the same amount of luck,” says cartoonist Scott Adams. “But luck doesn’t appear to be spread evenly across a person’s life. Some people use up all of their luck early in life. Others start out in bad circumstances and finish strong.” How would you assess your own distribution of luck, Virgo? According to my projections, you are in a phase when luck is flowing stronger and deeper than usual. And I bet it will intensify in the coming weeks. I suggest you use it wisely— which is to say, with flair and aplomb and generosity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) So far, 53 toys have been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. They include crayons, the jump rope, Mr. Potato Head, the yo-yo, the rubber duckie and dominoes. My favorite inductee—and the toy that is most symbolically useful to you right now—is the plain old cardboard box. Of all the world’s playthings, it is perhaps the one that requires and activates the most imagination. It can become a fort, a spaceship, a washing machine, a cave, a submarine and many other exotic things. I think you need to be around influences akin to the cardboard box because they are likely to unleash your dormant creativity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Here are a few of the major companies that got their starts in home garages: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mattel, Amazon and Disney. Even if you’re not in full support of their business practices, you’ve got to admit that their humble origins didn’t limit their ability to become rich and powerful. As I meditate on the long-term astrological omens, I surmise you are now in a position to launch a project that could follow a similar arc. It would be more modest, of course. I don’t foresee you ultimately becoming an international corporation worth billions of dollars.

But the success would be bigger than I think you can imagine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) In Roald Dahl’s kids’ story James & the Giant Peach, 501 seagulls are needed to carry the giant peach from a spot near the Azores all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City.

But physics students at the U.K.’s University of Leicester have determined that such a modest contingent wouldn’t be nearly enough to achieve a successful airlift. By their calculations, there’d have to be a minimum of 2,425,907 seagulls involved.

I urge you to consider the possibility that you, too, will require more power than you have estimated to accomplish your own magic feat. Certainly not 5,000 times more, as in the case of the seagulls, but 15 percent more should be enough. (P.S. I’m almost positive you can rustle up that extra 15 percent.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When James Franco began to learn his craft as an actor, he was young and poor. A gig at McDonald’s paid for his acting lessons and allowed him to earn a living. He also used his time on the job as an opportunity to build his skills as a performer. While serving customers burgers and fries, he practiced speaking to them in a variety of different accents. Now would be an excellent time for you to adopt a similar strategy, Cancerian. Even if you are not doing what you love to do full time, you can and should take stronger measures to prepare yourself for that day when you will be doing more of what you love to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia from 1682 until 1725.

Under his rule, his nation became a major empire. He also led a cultural revolution that brought modern European-style ideas and influences to Russia. But for our purposes right now, I want to call attention to one of his other accomplishments: The All-Joking, All-Drunken Council of Fools & Jesters. It was a club he organized with his allies to ensure there would always be an abundance of parties for him to enjoy. I don’t think you need alcohol as an essential part of your own efforts to sustain maximum revelry in the coming weeks, Scorpio. But I do suggest you convene a similar brain trust.

| cityweekly.net |

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The Dutch word epibreren means that even though you are goofing off, you are trying to create the impression that you are hard at work. I wouldn’t be totally opposed to you indulging in some major epibreren in the coming days. More importantly, the cosmos won’t exact any karmic repercussions for it. I suspect, in fact, that the cosmos is secretly conspiring for you to enjoy more slack and spaciousness that usual. You’re overdue to recharge your spiritual and emotional batteries, and that will require extra repose and quietude. If you have to engage in a bit of masquerade to get the ease you need, so be it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) When my daughter Zoe was seven years old, she took horseback riding lessons with a group of other young aspirants. On the third lesson, their instructor assigned them the task of carrying an egg in a spoon that they clasped in their mouths as they sat facing backwards on a trotting horse. That seemingly improbable task reminds me of what you’re working on right now, Libra. Your balancing act isn’t quite as demanding, but it is testing you in ways you’re not accustomed to. My prognosis: You will master what’s required of you faster than the kids at Zoe’s horse camp.

Every one of them broke at least eight eggs before succeeding. I suspect that three or four attempts will be enough for you.

imagine that when most Utahns picture elected officials, we think of old men in suits requesting points of person privilege, largely ignoring the issues that impact most of us. Our state legislature is important and the people who seek elected office in state houses and other statewide offices deserve our thanks for their sacrifice. But one office that never receives enough attention is the office of local and statewide school boards.

Meet Weston Clark. Parent, educator, community leader, and candidate for Salt Lake City School District 6.

Weston is not your typical candidate for elected office. Not only has he lived in Salt Lake City for 14 years, but also his years in service to this state and his community have given him a breadth of knowledge of how to deal with real issues that impact our daily lives.

Weston is an Urban Planning Graduate at the University of Utah, former public high school teacher, an animal rights activist, and a leader on LGBT issues. Weston is also a husband, father, and stay-at-home dad.

Public education isn’t just his career; it is his passion. He understands that investing in our children’s education now is the best way to ensure our students are ready for tomorrow’s challenges.

Weston believes everyone should have access to an education, that our schools should be safe, and that a stimulating education will help shape Utah’s students’ futures.

Weston has a four-point plan for challenging our schools. (1) Expand the dualimmersion program, (2) continue reducing class size, (3) minimize testing hours and maximize teaching hours, and (4) reduce opportunity gaps for lower performing students and communities.

Further, Weston’s plan for keeping Salt Lake City’s schools safe has three main points. (1) Never let students be blamed for communication problems or bad policies, (2) work to end bullying in all schools and embrace diversity among students and faculty, and (3) work with the city to create safe routes to school and explore relationships that will better serve the entire community.

Weston has great ideas and he is the leader we need on the Salt Lake City School Board, representing District 6. But we have to elect him to that position so that he can make a difference for our children. Our children’s futures are too important to leave to chance. To help elect Weston, register to vote at vote.utah.gov, visit votewestonclark.com, or connect via Facebook at facebook.com/vote4weston. n

’ve been spending a lot of time lately at the north end of Salt Lake City, our new “frontier” for residential and commercial growth. As the Kingdom of Sugar House fills with beer, renters and boutiques, the Marmalade Hole awaits attention. Rumors are that the library plan for the site is a million bucks over budget. The commercial buildings across the street still stand empty since they were never leased during the Great Recession, but the Landis Lifestyle Salon is booming, Club Jam is, well, jammin’, and I personally believe the Garage Bar on Beck Street still has some of the best burgers in the state. Plus, there are boarded-up buildings being sold to investors along this route that within a few years will be completely new and shiny all along 300 West up to North Salt Lake via Beck Street.

Who was Beck to have his own street named after him? He was a miner who built a destination hot springs in 1885 up there by the train tracks and refineries. Back then people did not have indoor plumbing.

Folks went to natural hot water spots to bathe, and bathe with others. Beck’s little spa was a hit with dirty railroad men getting off shift and it lasted as a public bath for just under a hundred years until the state took the land so a little road called I-15 could run through it.

Warm Springs Hot Springs (just north of 800 North as 300 West turns into Beck Street) was once as hip as Bar X and Beer Bar (sans alcohol). The building that once housed baths and pools was closed by our city commission when pieces of the building started sloughing off from the ceiling and hitting swimmers. It reopened a few times, but now sits abandoned and unsafe, deteriorating in our harsh elements.

In this national month that pays tribute to the bike, head up to 840 N. Beck Street (300 West) and explore. There are tennis courts, a playground, trails and picnic tables. If you catch the rays for too long, head a little further north and catch some tunes and burgers on the patio of the Garage Bar as a way to enjoy our warm spring weather and discover our town. n
