“Trump: Make America Great Again” prominently displayed on the front dash. I have been given the middle fingers and furrowed facial expressions and angry scowls by the drivers and pedestrians, and I could not have cared less over the last year. As a die-hard Trump supporter since Day 1, I say “cry me the river” to the hypocritical Mexicans and their treacherous enablers of foreign origins whose draconian immigration and assimilation laws pale in comparison to our pathetically lax laws. And I say with vigor and zest, “Build that big, beautiful wall 20 feet higher!”

@HUNTER_S_THOMPSON_

I read with derisive chuckling when I came across the next-to-last copy of this newsweekly with the clever artwork, by the L.A.based Latino comic strip-cum-agitator, cover story “¡Fuera Trump!” that caught my attention. Inside the issue is the collage of laughably amusing complaints said by people with connection to Mexico and its culture and customs, within Mexico as reported by an unabashed white-guilt “fellow traveler” with the plethora of apprehension and paranoia about what Mr. Trump, if elected president, would do to Mexico and within USA (the latter said by SLC-based Hispanic activists correctly re-labeled “agitators”). Like it matters to them how America’s destiny is decided with Mexico and other backwater third-world countries playing the referee that is didactic and obnoxious. Stay where you are, and for the residing agitators in SLC, go back whence you came from. You’re not welcome here anymore when Trump wins to assume the office to proceed with mass deportation that recalls the justifiably named “Operation Wetback” in the 1950s. To prove my support for Donald Trump with my strident opposition to illegal immigration (otherwise called “undocumented immigration,” as cover story writer Bert phrased it so not to harm the delicate feelings), despite his certain flaws that are relatively minor to focus on his message as the big picture, my provocative decals on the rear window of my car that proclaims “Build A Wall [brick wall icon] Deport Them All” and “Press 1 for English; Press 2 for Deportation” with “Trump 2016” proudly displayed in-between, with the yard sign

Of course, the first comment was he “should not have been there.” It’s a public street, across from a big mall, with movie theatres and plenty of restaurants and cafés. Should we all stay out of downtown SLC, so we aren’t “asking for trouble”? No wonder the Gateway Mall is dying.

Holy cow, everyone! As cliché as it may sound, we are a brotherhood. And in these rough waters, we need to band together. It increases survivability and helps us to work through things better as a whole. Now don’t get me wrong—each and every person is warranted to express how they feel and has every right to be frustrated. But we also need to remember that once we mourn, we need to move on, and move on in a positive way. All of us are going to be here for a long career, at least 20 years. I would like to serve those years in a job I have loved since Day 1 and will continue to love until I’m dead and gone. The best thing we can do right now as an organization, an employee and individual is show up to that fire station door ready to serve the public by responding as the consummate professional. We do that by keeping our apparatus and stations clean. Train and be good at your craft. Smile and enjoy this job and realize how blessed you are to be in this profession, and plain and simple, run the 911 calls. Now is the time to move forward, not step backward and assume that things will remain stagnant. The only way this works is if we all do our part at our level. We are a curious animal the firefighter, we are used to and want immediate results. We hate change but are good at just making it work no matter what. Now is the time for patience and most definitely being better than we were yesterday. Some of us may feel like all is lost, but I know one thing: When 911 is called and the tones go off, someone needs us and we need to be there to answer that call. It’s perfectly understandable and OK to be frustrated, but we need each and every one of you. You are what makes this a great place to work and what makes the public believe in our profession. You are the organization’s greatest asset, and I commend you all for doing the job you do. Please keep up the good work and stay the course. Things will get better.

Via CityWeekly.net We’re going to get through this. I’ve believed since first rumor of all this that the end-result will be a better and stronger UFA. This is our opportunity to purge dead weight and corruption. Let’s all remind

ourselves why we got into this business in the first place. Our leadership needs to reflect that. The guys on the street are still committed to the others we took, and will continue to provide the service we swore to. The best thing we can do from here is get a new chief and adjust our command staff to be accountable for the positions they hold. Change isn’t always bad, and I consider it an honor to be a UFA firefighter.

Better ban the extracts then. How stupid! Reminds me of the time my first husband was freaking out that I was using Jim Beam-brand maple syrup on my kids and our pancakes. It’s a flavoring! There’s alcohol in your cold syrup, probably equivalent to that or a non-alcoholic brew.

OPINION

Russian Roulette

In a recent Twitter post, political poll aggregator and FiveThirtyEight.com’s founder Nate Silver observed that while we shouldn’t rule out a Donald Trump win in November, his chance of success is less than it would be if he were playing the lethal game of chance, Russian roulette. That is to say, it has become statistically less likely for him to become president than it would be if he loaded a single round in a six shooter, spun the barrel randomly and successfully shot himself in the head. The odds of Mr. Trump winning the presidency, according to Mr. Silver, are 1-9. The chance of anyone shooting oneself, should one take up the challenge, would be 1-6. While playing Russian roulette has never been my kind of fun, the political analogy got me to thinking of another lethal game of chance we play here in Utah, death by earthquake. According to many emergency management professionals, there is a 1-4 chance of our experiencing a killer earthquake disaster along the Wasatch, perhaps during the next 35 years. Utah has done a lot to prepare for that earthquake. State and local governments, and nonprofits like the Red Cross, devote millions of dollars each year to train and equip many of us so that we can respond expeditiously and mitigate deadly consequences. Yet, for all the money and time we invest, we are woefully lacking in taking steps necessary to prevent earthquake-related deaths in the first place. Envision Utah, the public-private collaborative effort that spent two years polling citizens, government officials and businesses to determine how Utah wants to look in 2050, has published a summary of our best emergency management wisdom. Its conclusion: We have 165,000 unreinforced masonry buildings which will suffer significant damage, killing approximately

B Y S TA N R O S E N Z W E I G

7,700 adults and children in roof and wall collapses. So, while Trump is spending tens of millions of his and his supporters’ dollars for only a 1-9 chance at becoming president, and while people who are crazy enough to take up the Russian roulette challenge have a 1-6 chance of self-destructing, Utahns gamble on a 1-4 chance of seeing thousands of family members and fellow citizens perish in this natural disaster. In its vision booklet on disaster resilience, Envision Utah has summarized the cost of retrofitting at between $5,000 and $10,000 per home. This does not eliminate damage from an earthquake, mind you, but helps save about 5,400 of the 7,700 lives that are now projected to be lost. In addition, since the number of new buildings will double by 2050, modest legislative changes to strengthen building codes, could reduce deaths from new buildings by 65 percent. To be fair, as a society, we are starting to do some important things. There is a starter project within Salt Lake City to fund the rehab of approximately 5,000 unreinforced brick buildings right now. But that’s only 5,000 out of 165,000 structures that need such work. What about the rest? Could we get Utah Legislature to cough up a minimum of $800 million? Not likely. So, here’s my Plan B: What if we put together a totally free guide for home dwellers to buy the materials and do it themselves? Wouldn’t you be willing to invest some time, sweat and money to ensure your safety? For the past several weeks, I have been talking with elected officials, former elected officials, preparedness managers, the Utah Department of Emergency Management, FEMA people and building contractors, to put together a simple step-by-step guide that will enable you to do the most

critical repairs to save you and your loved ones when that big shake wakes us all out of a sound slumber at, say, 2 a.m. We haven’t finished that guide yet. But smart folks are really working on it, and we will have this ready for you in far less time than you think. Did I mention that the guide will be free and it will not require legislative action or tax dollars? In the meantime, if all this risky earthquake talk has you nervous, there are things you can do on your own, even before a formal guide. Look up the Utah Seismic Safety Commission at USSC.Utah.gov. Also, Google “retrofit brick homes for earthquake.” It will take a bit of work, but you can gather enough info to buy what you need and/or be able to talk intelligently to a professional remediation contractor. Now, let’s get back to Trump’s current odds of becoming president and other games of chance. In Clint Eastwood’s portrayal of detective Harry Callahan in the 1971 movie Dirty Harry, perhaps the most celebrated quote of all time is Harry’s to a suspect he has just chased down who is considering reaching for a gun lying on the ground before him. Harry voices what he thinks are the perp’s thoughts and says: “‘Did he fire six shots or only five?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’” Well, with the 1-4 stated chance of a killer earthquake destroying you in your home between now and 2050, do you feel lucky enough to play those odds? Like I said, I don’t play Russian roulette. And I don’t think you should either. CW

THERE IS A 1-4 CHANCE OF OUR EXPERIENCING A KILLER EARTHQUAKE DISASTER ALONG THE WASATCH.

Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Scott Renshaw: I was living in the Bay Area in 1989 during the 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake, in the basement of my graduate student dorm waiting for the World Series game to begin. That’s not an experience I ever hope to repeat, so of course I moved to another fault zone.

Tyeson Rogers: Yeah, I slept through it. Jeremiah Smith: I’ve been in a few. The worst I have ever been in was in Los Angeles. It was in 1992, and, if I remember correctly, it hit at around 2 a.m. It was 5.5 on the Richter scale. No one I was with or around got hurt, but a couple of buildings collapsed. I was scared as hell.

Enrique Limón: Growing up near the San Andreas Fault, many. I’m glad none of them were intense enough for me to try that standing under the doorway thing, which has now proven to be as effective as the rhythm method.

Andrea Harvey: A few small ones, including one last summer in Oregon that had me sweating bullets because I thought “The Big One” had finally arrived. Oregon is something like 50 years past due for an earthquake that is supposedly going to be the biggest natural disaster to happen in the country, which definitely made it easier to move to Utah.

Mason Rodrickc: I grew up in California and I lived through many earthquakes, but apparently, I only remember one. I was on the fifth floor of some building, I felt the building sway a bit and I said, “Whoa, it’s an earthquake!” and the others in the room said, “No, probably not.” But, like, I swear it was.

Randy Harward: No, but my wife did last night.

HITS&MISSES BY KATHARINE BIELE

FIVE SPOT

RANDOM QUESTIONS, SURPRISING ANSWERS

@kathybiele

OK, given that it was Sunday and Utah, we suppose you have to expect stories about religion. But the front-page treatment of what would otherwise be an internal Mormon issue was stunning in its breadth. This was the story of an experiment by one LDS congregation to bring Mormon converts of disparate countries together in worship. This is not to say it’s not admirable that a congregation would provide rides to African members in an attempt to unify them. But it’s a little much to expect the general readership to be front-page, inside-spread interested. There were other Mormon stories, too, in The Salt Lake Tribune. “Navajo Nation seeks to intervene in abuse lawsuit against Mormon Church,” buried in the local section and, of course, George Pyle’s fine but quixotic attempt to convince Utah officials that “Religious freedom is alive and well.” In Utah, it depends on whose religion you’re talking about.

Private Prisons

Finally. The Justice Department has ordered the Bureau of Prisons to begin phasing out private prisons, “an industry that has had an insidious effect on the American justice system,” The New York Times said. Since the 1980s, a handful of private contractors have made a boatload of bucks warehousing inmates. Tim DeChristopher knows that. He was in one—although only for a few short weeks of his two-year sentence. It was enough. In a talk he gave to a small group after his release, DeChristopher spoke about being told to sit only at the “white” table, and not to mix with different races. There are many reasons to rejoice over the shutdown of these prisons, but the violence, racism and profit motivation are among the most daunting. Utah is home to the third-largest management group in the U.S.—Centerville’s Management and Training Corporation. Now it can focus on its Job Corps program.

History Defaced

Bansky it’s not. It’s really stupid people who think carving their names or initials in anything is a good idea, like this is something for the history books. Well, it is, but not in a good way. In this ongoing travesty, “Ivan Dallas TX,” “Henn/Hena” and “DALLAS TX” have defaced a rock panel featuring Native American images in Capital Reef Monument, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. The National Park Service has seen a dramatic rise in the number of graffiti carvings, according to ABC Channel 4. And if caught, the “artists” could be fined $2,000 and land in prison for two years. One woman was banned from national monuments after defacing them. Carving trees isn’t a good idea, either.

JORDAN FLOYD

Covering the Sabbath

Chris Neve is a 20-year-old makeup artist who has caught the entrepreneurial bug. He recently started a series called The Starving Artists Project that he plans to use to promote art and individuality. His first project is a lipstick-adorned self-guided bike ride from Portland to San Francisco. Neve, who begins his journey Sept. 1, hopes to raise some eyebrows, start a few conversations and, of course, look fabulous during it all.

Male makeup artists—especially in Utah—aren’t very common. How did you become one?

I started by doing theater. Once I got into theater, we had to do makeup for the plays, and I started doing my own because it was always so busy and we didn’t have many artists there. I did my own, and thought, ‘This is actually kind of fun.’ So, I started doing others. At first, I was doing a lot of gory makeup and fantasy makeup. It started from there. Eventually, I started working at Sephora, and that’s when I started to try out the beauty makeup. I fell in love.

How did you come up with the Is That Boy Wearing Lipstick bike ride?

I had a friend who did a bike tour last summer from California to New York. That was really inspiring for me. She was doing it to raise awareness for suicide. I was thinking of this project and I was moving to Portland at the end of August, so I had this crazy idea. I started talking to [my friend] and said, ‘Hey, do you think a bike tour from Portland to San Francisco would be doable?’ She said I would have to train a lot, but that I could do it. That’s when I also put my Is That Boy Wearing Lipstick project and merged them together.

Can you tell me a little about your Starving Artists Project?

I just started it recently. [Is That Boy Wearing Lipstick?] is my first project for it. It’s an organization I am wanting to start, where I have a bunch of different projects within the organization.

So, what are you trying to accomplish with the bike ride?

So, when I would do my makeup before, I would never wear lipstick because that’s kind of big and bold. And then [the Pulse nightclub shooting] happened in Orlando, and with that, at first, I think everyone was fearful, and that’s when I realized fear is not the way. Beforehand, I had worn makeup once and I heard out of the corner of my ear, ‘Is that boy wearing lipstick?’ I realized I was fearful of that and I wanted to stop being fearful, so after Orlando happened, I decided that a way I could stop being fearful in my personal life was just to go bold and not care what people think. I started wearing lipstick a lot more and then everyone started to love it. I still hear, ‘Is that boy wearing lipstick?’ a lot, but I think that’s a cool question because people start conversations and start discussing the topic.

If your project series and the bike ride had a message, what would that be? Living without fear would be the message, for sure.

One thing I’ve heard over and over again is that FDR concealed his dependence on a wheelchair, and the American public was unaware that he was physically disabled. Is that true? —Kel

If a president sits in a wheelchair and no one’s there to photograph him, is he really paraplegic? Franklin Delano Roosevelt never explicitly denied that he’d lost the use of his legs, but he sure did his damnedest to keep people—especially of the camera-toting variety from seeing him wheel around. When rare 1944 footage of FDR rolling onboard the U.S.S. Baltimore surfaced three years ago, the Associated Press claimed “Roosevelt’s disability was virtually a state secret during his presidency,” echoing an assumption popularized by Hugh Gregory Gallagher’s 1980 book FDR’s Splendid Deception. That doesn’t quite cover it, though. Long before the internet, FDR evidently grasped the truth of the information-age maxim “Pics or it didn’t happen”: many Americans knew Roosevelt was disabled, but he was determined they not perceive him as such. It was in August 1921 that Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for vice president just the year before, became mysteriously paralyzed from the waist down and was diagnosed with polio. (Scrutinizing his symptoms posthumously, modern doctors have suggested that what he really had was Guillain-Barré syndrome, but until someone digs the old boy up and finds some usable DNA, we’ll stick with what his contemporaries believed.) A vigorous 39-year-old, Roosevelt threw himself into a series of recuperative regimens, and by the time he was called upon to nominate Al Smith at the party’s 1924 convention, Roosevelt was capable of hauling his lower body across the stage on crutches. Roosevelt went on to run for Smith’s seat as governor of New York, and his Republican opponents were quick to target his disability. Smith cut them off at the pass: Acknowledging Roosevelt’s “lack of muscular control of his lower limbs,” Smith insisted that “a governor does not have to be an acrobat. We do not elect him for his ability to do a double back-flip or a handspring.” In preparation for his first presidential campaign, Roosevelt addressed the subject head on. In 1931, Liberty magazine ran a story titled “Is Franklin D. Roosevelt Physically Fit to Be President?” “The next President of the United States may be a cripple,” the piece began; Roosevelt was remarkably candid and submitted to examination by three physicians. The not entirely straightforward conclusion: “Governor Roosevelt is confident of ultimate total recovery.” And then, once Roosevelt was elected, his disability was, for the most part, no longer under discussion. How’d he manage it? For starters, few White House press secretaries have tyrannized D.C. reporters as thoroughly as Steve Early. Through FDR’s tenure, Early

banned anyone seeking to snap a pic of the president in his wheelchair; Secret Service agents more than once yanked film or plates from the camera of a misbehaving photog. As for inquiries into Roosevelt’s physical condition, they were invariably met with a single response: “It’s not a story.” Roosevelt’s public appearances were carefully stage-managed to similar effect. The president rarely emerged from his limousine in the view of the public or the press; his legs were supported with steel braces, and when he spoke, he would grip the podium forcefully with both hands (his lecterns were often special-built heavyduty models) and emphasize his points with a jaunty, vigorous thrust of his head. But neither did his condition go wholly overlooked. Time and The New Yorker both casually mentioned FDR using a wheelchair in 1934, as did a 1941 Life profile. Yet even his political adversaries—and Henry Luce was no fan—didn’t harp on Roosevelt’s disability, though Luce managed to publish a rare photo of him in a wheelchair in 1937. More remarkably, Roosevelt’s overseas enemies rarely attempted to exploit his disability. Mussolini did once splutter, “Never in the course of history has a nation been guided by a paralytic,” and a German propagandist called FDR “a physically broken person who is constantly venting his hysteria,” but honestly you’d figure they’d have made more of it. When he ran for his fourth term in 1944, Roosevelt was 62 and his health became an issue for the first time in a decade. He also appeared publicly in his wheelchair. “I hope that you will pardon me for this unusual posture of sitting down,” Roosevelt told Congress after returning from Yalta, “but I know that you will realize that it makes it a lot easier for me not to have to carry about 10 pounds of steel around on the bottom of my legs.” FDR was perhaps the most effective U.S. politician ever, and throughout his career he managed his disability with a hard-nosed pragmatism that, as with so much of his presidential style, could be classified either as take-charge leadership or outright manipulation. Think about it, though: Today there’d be a treacly 10-minute documentary at the Democratic National Convention about Franklin’s polio, set to soft but stirring music, with poor Eleanor forced to gaze dewy-eyed into the distance. It’s enough to make you think the Great Depression really was the good old days. n Send questions to Cecil via StraightDope.com or write him c/o Chicago Reader, 350 N. Orleans, Chicago 60654.

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes

SARAH ARNOFF

Newly appointed AG chief of staff, Missy Larsen, says “extreme low morale” permeated through the department when she started. “on policy issues that impact the office missions,” according to a job description provided to City Weekly by Larsen’s replacement, former corporate attorney and political pundit Daniel Burton. Policy includes, she says, being a legislative liaison and developing new programs, such as the SafeUT app, which provides confidential counseling for suicidal students. Ultimately Larsen sits at Reyes’ right hand. As his first assistant, she is both confidant and his proxy at meetings he can’t take, “getting the messaging back to the AG,” she says. Jon Harper is the Democratic challenger to Reyes for attorney general. Larsen’s promotion and the appointment of Burton to replace her, sounded “like quite a luxury to have two PR people when you have other areas in the AG office that may be understaffed.” He argues that Reyes, “seems more concerned about controlling information through PR people than having an open and accountable office to the public.” Reyes’ administration has troubled some reporters, who have questioned his office’s commitment to transparency, particularly when it comes to government records. Brigham Young University associate professor of journalism and board member of Utah’s chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Joel Campbell says reporters have told him “they feel they are often viewed as the enemy,” by the current AG administration. He feels that the AG and the media “need time to cool off, and then come back to the table.” In June 2016, the Utah SPJ gave Reyes the Black Hole Award, citing two specific

cases where the AG refused to provide records relating to politically sensitive criminal investigations. In its press release, the SPJ concluded that “the opaqueness Attorney General Reyes’ office showed in 2015 is not standard and cannot be described as honest.” Larsen describes the award as “weak,” and argues that if the SPJ had done its homework, they would have understood why the office had taken the approach it had, namely that open criminal investigations were protected by law. She finds contemporary reporting troubling, particularly how the financial realities of shrinking advertising revenue and the demands of 24-hour online news cycle, “makes communication more difficult. It’s harder to get people to sit down and see the big picture,” she says. “They’ve got to get [a story online] before the competition. I’d prefer people to take the time to learn. Very good reporters who stay informed and get the background done are becoming more seldom.” The Utah AG’s office wasn’t always this critical of the media. Former Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who recently saw corruption charges against him dismissed in 3rd District Court, was a vocal supporter of the Fourth Estate. Shurtleff was “a champion of the reporters’ privilege law,” notes Campbell, although Shurtleff’s attempt to pilot a “shield” law through the legislature proved unsuccessful. Shurtleff instituted both the Open Book, a guide to public meetings laws, and an explanatory government records access website, neither of which are available anymore on the AG’s website. Larsen says she wasn’t aware of

either publication. Shurtleff’s PR man, ex-KTVX Channel 4 reporter Paul Murphy (now with Rocky Mountain Power) worked the media hard to promote his boss, but under Larsen’s watch, Reyes has been far less accessible, reporters say, except during highly managed press events. Larsen says when she started at the AG’s office, it “was in a state of extreme low morale. Many employees had been personally contacted by reporters and bloggers, even at their home, and expressed frustration.” She says a policy was put in place that directed all media inquiries to her, so she could coordinate

n an April 2016 email to his 500-strong staff, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes announced he’d made some changes to his executive team. Along with bringing in an Mexican ex-congressman and special forces operative as diversity outreach and “HR investigator,” Reyes noted that he had promoted his PR chief Missy Larsen to chief of staff, the second most powerful position in the state’s largest law firm. Larsen’s jump from spokesperson to Reyes’ first assistant is not unique—for example, former journalist turned Indiana AG spokesperson Staci Schneider was promoted to chief of staff under Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller. An appointed position, as opposed to the protected merit positions that most employees at the Utah Office of the Attorney General enjoy, Larsen is a nonattorney who does not oversee attorneys—that’s the job of Reyes’ civil and criminal deputies. As chief of staff, Larsen runs the office’s administrative staff, the Children’s Justice Center and the information technology department. She also handles outreach and advises the AG and his executive staff and division directors SEAN BARR

them, adding that in many cases “the very attorneys who sent me the media inquiry ended up speaking to the media about the issue.” The new policy was leaked to the media in March 2014 over concerns it constituted a gag order reinforced by the threat of discipline or termination if any employee spoke to reporters about the office, its business, people or cases, without permission from Larsen’s office. Larsen stresses that there was no “gag rule” put in place, “as we designate people all the time,” to speak to the press. “No one was ever considered for termination for voicing their views to the media.” Beyond the cases cited by the SPJ, society board member Campbell argues that Reyes’ administration “has not paid a serious interest to openness.” He expresses concern that Shurtleff’s commitment to transparency is not evident with Reyes, and notes the “backlash” the group has experienced over the award in terms of both a press release by the AG’s office and public statements. He describes the response as reflecting both “an anti-openness” and evidence of “a thin skin. There’s been some really defensive posturing in the media going after that award.” Larsen is part of Salt Lake City’s political royalty, being the daughter of former Democratic Mayor Ted Wilson and sister of Salt Lake County councilwoman Jenny Wilson. “I grew up in a very active political family,” she says. She learned from her father, “how to build relationships that make change in the world.” She and her sister are markedly different in their political philosophies. “Jenny is a hardcore Democrat. I tend to be more on the conservative side.”

“I grew up in a very active political family,” Larsen says.

A communications graduate, in 1994 Larsen set up her own PR firm, Intrepid Agency. In 2002, when Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped, she and her agency worked to keep Smart’s image “fresh and in front of the public,” she says. After selling Intrepid to her fellow directors in 2004, Larsen was drawn back into the public arena after efforts to locate a house for sex offenders near her home drew her ire. In 2012, she ran for a county council seat against Sam Granato, but “came up short,” she says. During the campaign she met corporate lawyer Sean Reyes, who was then running for AG against John Swallow. What she liked about Reyes, she says, was “he wants to be collaborative.” Attorneys general are by nature political creatures. The American political field is peppered with former “top cops” turned governors, congressmen and senators. Political pundits have long linked Reyes’ ambitions to running for a U.S. Senate seat. Ask Larsen if her promotion reflects an interest at the AG in ensuring that policies and internal decisions run in tandem with curating Attorney General Reyes’ political image, and she says that such a perspective has never been discussed. “I’m really here because of the great things we’re doing as an office,” she says. While she acknowledges that Reyes might, at some point, “want to do something different, for now he is a very strong attorney general.” She continues, “I’m not here as a set up in any way, I feel like we’re doing extremely great work. If I didn’t feel this way, I would find something else to do.” CW

Latest Religious Messages India has supposedly outlawed the “babytossing” religious test popular among Hindus and Muslims in rural villages in Maharashtra and Karnataka states, but a July New York Times report suggested that parents were still allowing surrogates to drop their newborn infants from 30 feet up and awaiting the gods’ blessing for a prosperous, healthy life. In all cases, according to the report, the gods come through, and a bedsheet appears below to catch the unharmed baby. Government in Action More federal civilian employees have “arrest and firearms authority” than the total number of active-duty U.S. Marines, according to a June report by the organization Open The Books, which claims to have tallied line-by-line expenditures across the government. Several agencies (including the IRS and EPA) purchase assault weapons and other military-grade equipment (camouflage, night-vision goggles, 30-round magazines) for their agents, and even the Small Business Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Department of Education buy their agents guns and ammo.

n The new tourism minister of Thailand is threatening to close down the lucrative sex business in Bangkok and Pattaya, even with the country still rallying from a 2014 near-recession. Ms. Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul insisted that visitors are not interested in “such a thing (as sex)” but come for Thailand’s “beautiful” culture.

n One day earlier, in Union, S.C., a 33-year-old woman called police to her home, claiming that she had fallen asleep on her couch with her “upper plate” in her mouth, but that when she awoke, it was gone and that she suspects a teeth-napping intruder.

How to Tell if You’re Drunk The owner of the Howl At The Moon Bar in Gold Coast, Australia, released surveillance video of a July break-in (later inspiring the perpetrator to turn himself in). The man is seen trying to enter the locked bar at 3 a.m., then tossing a beer keg at a glass door three times, finally creating a hole large enough to climb through, acrobatically, and fall to the floor (lit cigarette remaining firmly between his lips). Once inside, he stood at the bar, apparently waiting for someone to take his order. When no one came, he meekly left through the same door. The owner said nothing was taken, and nothing else was damaged.

The Continuing Crisis A year-long, nationwide investigation by the Atlanta JournalConstitution (reporting in May) found more than 2,400 doctors penalized for sexually abusing their patients—with state medical boards ultimately allowing more than half to continue practicing medicine. Some doctors, a reporter noted, are among “the most prolific sex offenders in the country,” with “hundreds” of victims.

n Also in July, actor Brooke Shields made the news when she— as a curator of an art show in Southampton, N.Y.—managed to rescue a piece that custodians had inadvertently tossed into the garbage. (The cleanup crew had made an understandable mistake, as the statue was a raccoon standing next to a trashcan, ready to rummage.)

One of Utah’s COOLEST SUMMER ADVENTURES!

n Sports Illustrated noted in May that some universities are still paying out millions of dollars to failed coaches who had managed to secure big contracts in more optimistic times. Notre Dame’s largest athletic payout in 2014 was the $2.05 million to exfootball coach Charlie Weis—five years after he had been fired. That ended Weis’s Notre Dame contract (which paid him $15 million post-dismissal), but he is still drawing several million dollars from the University of Kansas despite having been let go there, also.

Boldface Names in News of the Weird! Police in Southampton, N.Y., confirmed a July altercation in which model Christie Brinkley water-hosed a woman she had spotted urinating on her beachfront property. Erica Remkus, 36, said her need was urgent after watching a July 4 fireworks show, but Brinkley shouted, “How dare you!” and, “I walk on these rocks (where Remkus had relieved herself).”

n San Diego Padres outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. was traded on July 23 to the Toronto Blue Jays—in the middle of a series between the Padres and the Blue Jays in Toronto. Normally, such a player would merely gather his belongings and walk down the hall to the other team’s locker room. However, while Canada treats Blue Jays’ opponents as “visitors,” Blue Jays players, themselves, are Canadian employees, and if not residents must have work permits. Upton had to leave the stadium and drive to Lewiston, N.Y., which is the closest place he could find to apply to re-enter Canada properly. (He made it back by game time.)

Adults of a certain age probably have fond memories of the 1992 Disney musical movie Newsies starring a then-relatively unknown Christian Bale. Despite its catchy tunes—namely “The World Will Know,” “Seize the Day” and “King of New York”—the plot was a tad thin. The Broadway version, currently on tour, strengthens the story, introduces new characters and adds more substance to the style. In 1899 New York, the better the headline, the more newspapers are sold. The 100 “papes” news boys purchase for 50 cents to resell helps them earn enough money to get by. When publisher Joseph Pulitzer (Steve Blanchard) decides to increase the price to 60 cents, Jack Kelly (Joey Barreiro) and the rest of the newsies threaten to strike. With the help of young reporter Katherine (Morgan Keene), the newsies work to change how child workers are treated in the city. If you’ve seen the movie, you know the basic story, which was based on the real-life 1899 newsboys’ strike. But you probably haven’t witnessed incredible Tony award-winning choreography like this before. The energy pours off the stage during every number, with scaffolding sets and projected images that help transform each scene. Newsies’ message is simple: Fight for what you believe is right. Even if the theme doesn’t stick with you past the curtain call, the lyrics should. “Look at me, I’m the king of New York” or “Open the gates and seize the day” will probably be stuck in your head for days.

It’s hard to believe that 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the original Broadway production of Cabaret. It might be just as hard to believe how daring it was at that time. From its subject matter—placing issues like anti-Semitism and abortion in the typically happy-go-lucky realm of musical theater—to the scandalously racy costumes, that original production took plenty of risks on its way to winning eight Tony Awards, inspiring an Oscar-winning movie and becoming one of the modern musical classics. But there’s more than nostalgia to Utah Repertory Theatre’s current production. The story might be set in Weimar Republic-era Berlin—as expatriates like American writer Cliff Bradshaw and British singer Sally Bowles experience the swirling unrest of the Nazi Party’s rise to power—but there’s some powerful contemporary resonance to a story of people watching the rise of a fascist movement while assuming it can’t possibly get that bad. And that’s on top of the pure pleasures of appreciating the classic John Kander/Fred Ebb songs like “Wilkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Two Ladies” and “Cabaret.” Utah Rep’s own twists on this groundbreaking show include offering cabaret table seating that allows audience members to interact with the performers as though they were patrons of the Kit Kat Klub, and gender-bending the role of the Emcee with the casting of talented local actor Teresa Sanderson. Celebrate Cabaret’s landmark birthday with a reminder of theater that takes chances, telling stories that continue to tell us about ourselves, as much as we might wish otherwise.

The spaces in which we spend the duration of our existence can be a shell, or a hell. Local artist Andrew Rice’s work delineates the ways the very structures of buildings shape our experience—the ways their angles and corners, nooks and crannies are protective but also can keep us isolated, separate. In his exhibit (re)Structured at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art’s Projects Gallery, his collagraphs—made with oil sticks—create a multi-textured surface that is reminiscent of his other favored medium, printmaking. Even though these textures are often rich and layered, they ultimately have the effect of increasing the weight and the thickness of the walls, rendering them more impenetrable and solipsistic. The ambiguity these pieces produce might best be termed “comfortable claustrophobia.” It appears to be an “interior design” in the psychological sense, but one that might prompt an escape from its suffocating embrace. Perhaps the inaccessibility portrayed is even deeper, depicting the layers of self we hide from ourselves; the quietude of his forms invites contemplation. In any event, the implied narrative is somewhat obscured, even as the artist’s technique is deliberate and methodical, and all the more intriguing because of it. Some of these works were seen in Redefining Structures, in tandem with prints by Justin Diggle, at the downtown library, and also premiered at a pop-up event Aug. 19 at Art Central on Broadway.

Think of The Rose Exposed experience as a tapas bar of the arts—a place where you can get a little theater, a little dance, a little live music. Each year, the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center uses the event as a way to sample the venue’s artistic offerings through an evening of original 10-minute works by all six of the Rose’s resident companies: Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation, Pygmalion Theatre Co., Plan-B Theatre Co., Ririe-Woodbury Dance Co., Repertory Dance Theatre and SB Dance. It’s a great time for people unfamiliar with the Rose to enjoy an inexpensive evening of amazing performances. And it might just turn some theater lovers into dance enthusiasts, or viceversa. There will also be live piano accompaniment of all performances coordinated through the Gina Bachauer Foundation, with pianist Koji Atwood and a young competitor from this year’s Gina Bachauer International Piano competition, Junhao Wang. Each year, The Rose Exposed chooses a beneficiary and a theme for the performance. This year, with proceeds going to Tracy Aviary, the theme guiding each original work is Flight. For example, playwright Jenny Kokai took that idea and created Bird Brains for Plan-B Theater (their 2015 performance is pictured). What exactly Bird Brains is about—or what we’re likely to see from any of the companies—is a bit of a surprise, and part of the excitement of the experience. For a sneak peek, the public is invited to walk through the Rose studios during the day on Saturday, Aug. 27 to watch the rehearsals in progress.

Alexander Zaitchik pens a deep, colorful portrait of Trump Nation. BY CHRIS FARAONE comments@cityweekly.net @Fara1

n a time of questionable candidates and flame wars galore, Alexander Zaitchik has a new book that displays the disarray. A longform Jedi with roots in the alternative press, the author last surfaced between covers with Common Nonsense, a graphic look at “Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance” in the Tea Party era. His latest, The Gilded Rage: A Wild Ride Through Donald Trump’s America, communicates the larger stories underpinning Donald Nation domination.

City Weekly: This seems like an especially big feat—a book spanning the primaries that comes out before the election. What was the approach?

AZ: I jumped on the primary calendar near the middle, in Arizona, and finished with the June votes in New Mexico and California, a few weeks after Trump clinched the nomination in Indiana. I focused on six states representative of Trump’s marquee campaign themes, in Appalachia, the Rust Belt and along the Mexico Border. Ideally I would have had a little more time—I filed the last chapter in early July—but the goal was to get it out in time for the general election.

Your dispatches have been amazingly detailed, focusing on elements of the side show that might have been overlooked by other writers. What of these observations are especially important in your mind for anyone who is really trying to understand the bigger picture high and above the spectacle?

While traveling for the book, I kept up with the circus, but not because it impacted the work. I was focused on the lives of Trump’s followers, which don’t have much to do with the cable news cycle. The animating spirit behind the book is Studs Terkel … who conducted long biographical interviews with everyday Americans. As I watched the Trump story explode, I thought there was a need for a Terkel approach that let Trump’s supporters explain themselves, instead of just having a tiny quote box or sound byte. … The kind of data journalism people have come to depend on never felt more useless than during this primary. One, it was wrong in its predictions, over and over. Two, it kept missing the point. You’d see all these articles

I think there’s obviously a role for the data stuff, but in this election, you’re better off getting drunk with a Trump supporter whose town lost its factories and whose nephews are all on heroin.

Is it your job as a journalist to separate the right-wing nut jobs from the so-called everyday Americans who are supporting Trump?

I didn’t seek out any kind of Trump voter. I just talked to people and let the chips fall where they did. If people were open to spending time with me and were halfway articulate, they usually ended up in the book. Some of these people were not pleasant; some were small-minded racists, and others were extremely sympathetic and generous in spirit. The Trump voter base—like the country, like individual Americans—is complicated. … I would never discount or downplay the racism and ‘authoritarianism’ swimming in Trump’s base, but I also wouldn’t reduce it to those things.

happening in this country. You also need to know how to talk to people if you want to help build some kind of broad progressive coalition. While working on the book, I’d sometimes watch recent college grads completely unable to talk politics with a machinist with a high school education. They simply could not hold a conversation. They used jargon, or coils sprang from their eyes if they heard a word they associated with ‘trigger warnings’ in Gender Studies 101. It’s terrifying to see.

You have now written books on Glenn Beck and Donald Trump. How do they compare?

Two greed-head egomaniacs with Messiah complexes. Hopefully Trump crashes and burns the way Beck is currently. But we’ll still have to reckon with what it all means. Trump obviously heralds and signifies much more than just an unlikely one-off in the 2016 primary. JOSEPH GAMBLE

I spend most of my life in liberal enclaves talking to people who think like I do, so I enjoy getting out there and talking to conservatives. … I think it’s good exercise in more ways than one, but above all, it’s necessary if you are going to have any clue about what’s

JOHN TAYLOR

ecent visits to Bohemian Brewery & Grill caused me to delve into the vast City Weekly archives. I couldn’t for the life of me recall when the Midvale brewery and restaurant had opened. As it turns out, it was in 2001 when Joe Petras and his family opened the brewery—much earlier than I’d thought. That’s evidence of Bohemian’s staying power. Other establishments, including Hunters Lodge, Avalanche Brewery and Brookhaven Brewery, didn’t fare so well at the Midvale location on Fort Union Boulevard. But if the throngs waiting for a patio seat—even on a weeknight—are any indication, the brewery is likely to be around for another 15 years and beyond. Much of the interior still has the rustic log décor and cozy, warm ambiance of Angelo Degenhardt’s original Hunters Lodge, especially the bar area where regulars tend to congregate. The exterior looks like a large wood cabin, and deer antler chandeliers hang from the ceilings. But there have been updates, too, like the modern patio, wood-fired pizza oven and fresh hops growing outside. It’s a terrific mix of Oldand New World, with a menu and brews that lean toward the former. The restaurant is first and foremost about beer; you’ll come for the brews and stay for the food. As local hopheads already know, Bohemian is heaven for lager lovers. That’s their specialty. It takes time to brew lagers, and brewers Brian Ericksen and Paul Konopelski do it the old-fashioned way: slowly. Beer geeks know that lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast, while ale is produced with top-fermenting yeast. But that’s only part of the story. The biggest difference between ales and lagers is the temperature at which fermentation takes place. Bottom-fermenting yeast is fragile, and must be treated with kid gloves, cool temperatures and a lengthy fermentation process, resulting in mellow but fullbodied beers with better clarification and fewer esters than are found in most ales. Lagers are crisp, subtle and less fruity than ales—the product of a somewhat high-wire brewing act. They are, without question, my favorite beers; think elegant, classy French white Burgundy versus oaky, in-your-face, bombastic California chardonnay. Without getting too geeky and technical, Bohemian lagers are brewed with a unique “double decoction” process, which is the

method used by many brewers in the Czech Republic and Germany (this is a good thing). It, like lagering itself, requires extra time and is labor-intensive, but the brewers here don’t cut corners. Your palate will thank them. As might be deduced from the name of the restaurant, their beers are an ode to the Czech Republic, where Joe Petras is from. Their signature beer is their “Old School” 1842 Czech Style Pilsener, which takes its name from the Bohemian city of Pilsen, where the first Czech Pilsener was brewed. You can find this luscious lager on draft at the brewery, and at local convenience and grocery stores in six- and 12-packs. To me, the 1842 is the perfect partner for the restaurant’s Eastern European-style pierogies and bratwurst plate ($15.75). Pierogies are Eastern Europe’s answer to the ravioli: pastry pockets filled with dill-seasoned potatoes and cheese, topped with caramelized onions and bacon bits, and served with a dollop of dill sour cream on the side. If you’d prefer to eschew the brat—which comes with sauerkraut—there is a pierogi “teaser” appetizer of three pierogis for $7.50. Other great starts to pair with the pilsner include potato pancakes with apple sauce and sour cream ($7), roasted Gilroy garlic bulbs with tomato-basil tapenade ($7.75), or the killer buttermilk-soaked onion rings that are deep-fried with beer batter and served with house aioli ($6.75). Bohemian specializes in Old World continental fare like chicken or pork schnitzel ($16.75), chicken paprikash ($17), goulash ($16.50) and heavenly beef stroganoff ($18.95). However, the one dish I simply can’t resist is their schweinshaxe ($18.50), a popular dish in Bavaria. There, it’s usually made from the ham hock or “pork knuckle.” Here, it’s a beautiful Berkshire pork shank that is slow-braised until the meat comes off the bone just by looking at

Bohemian Brewery’s beef stroganoff it. The tender, luscious pork is topped with a dark, rich onion pan sauce and served with red cabbage and a choice of mashed potatoes or späetzle. Tip: Opt for the potatoes; the späetzle is dry, under-seasoned and comes with no sauce. For me, a plate of schweinshaxen calls for a Bohemian Cherny Bock Schwarzbier—a dark, nearly black (schwarz is “black” in Czech) Northern Bavaria-style beer brimming with roasted malt aromas and hints of espresso and chocolate on the palate. The wood-fired pizzas ($15-$16) are pretty good, too—although, when I tried the Margherita, the fresh mozzarella was just barely melted and the pie was topped with slices of fresh tomato. That’s definitely not the tradition in Naples, where Margherita pizzas are defined by their slightly sweet San Marzano sauce. On the other hand, classic brewpub fish and chips ($17.95) are anything but routine here. Cold-water halibut pieces (three of them) are hand-dipped in seasoned pilsner batter and fried until beautifully crisp and golden. The fish is way above average in taste and texture; the garlic fries that accompany it are first-rate as well. When dessert beckons, you’ll be faced with a decision between German chocolate cake ($7.50), rum-raisin bread pudding ($7), Moravian apple strudel ($6), “Boho” crêpes ($6) and more. I’d suggest heading straight for the Czech fruit dumplings (the fruit varies dependent upon what’s fresh) with vanilla crème sauce ($6). You won’t regret it. As they say at Bohemian, na zdravi! CW

BEER, WINE & SPIRITS

Beer Debunked

Stuff to know before you go to Beer Fest. BY TED SCHEFFLER comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

(for cleaning), racking cane, bottle capper, thermometer and more than a dozen other items you’ll need to brew good beer at home. Add it ion a l l y, the ingredients for your first b a t c h — malt, hops, grains, etc.— will run a minimum of $30 or so. A standard batch of homebrew makes about eight six-packs. Do the math and you’ll find that your first homemade bottle will cost you in the vicinity of $5. That’s hardly a bargain. However, the good news is that with

your next batch, you’ll only be paying for the ingredients, bottle caps and bottles (if you haven’t recycled), plus your time, of course. So making beer at home can save you money, but I wouldn’t get into it for that reason only. The reason to brew at home is the enjoyment, and to be able to create something that’s truly unique and yours alone. Lagers are light and wimpy. Incorrect. Serious beer aficionados love their lagers. They are time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and a good German- or Czech-style lager is a work of art. Don’t be conned into thinking only the “powerful” varieties are worth your while. Dark beers are high in alcohol. I wish I had a beer for every time someone has told me that Guinness is high in alcohol. In fact, most of the Guinness draft beer sold in Ireland (and in Utah) is 4.2 percent alcohol by volume. That’s hardly a boozy brew. Enjoy the beer fest! CW

s is the case with so many topics in our 10-tweets-a-minute hyperbolic culture, there’s a lot of misinformation and myth out and about concerning beer and brewing. So, with an eye toward ensuring your ultimate enjoyment of this weekend’s seventh annual City Weekly Utah Beer Festival, we’re here to help set the record straight about the suds. Bitter beer is bad. Wrong. Bad beer is bad. Remember those TV ads from the mid-’90s showing beer drinkers with “bitter beer face”? Those were ads for one of the bad ones: Keystone Light. Bitter hops make delicious brews like India pale ale great. But Budweiser and other gargantuan brands would have you think that bitter is

for wimps and, you know, intellectuals. Beer is best ice-cold. Again, wrong. But so are the folks who say that it should be served “warm,” like the Brits do it. Crappy beer should be ice-cold; that’s because the colder it is, the more the flaws and defects in the poorly made varieties are hidden. The same is true for wine. Depending upon the style, most beer should be consumed between 38-55 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the American Homebrewers Association. Pale lagers and pilsners should be enjoyed fairly cold, while at the other end of the temperature spectrum— around 50-55 degrees—strong lagers, cask ales and Belgian dubbels are better a bit warmer. By the way, although the English get a rap for serving warm, most U.K. session beers are served at cellar temperature, between 50-57 degrees—not ice-cold, but definitely not warm, either. Homebrewing saves you money. OK, I’ll argue both sides of this common belief. Initially, homebrewing will not save you money. It’s true that you can get a basic homebrew system for around $80. But that’s for the essential equipment and doesn’t include the ingredients. Realistically, you’re going to want to spend about $220—in fact, that’s the price of The Beer Nut’s “Complete Home Brewing System,” and it includes everything from the glass carboy and fermenter to bottles, brushes

Want to up your cocktail-ordering cred? Beertails are where it’s at, baby. Check out p. 42 for our top picks available just a short Uber ride away. We also tip our full-strength glass to some of those kooky, surrealist and downright artistic labels found on some of our favorite brews we tend to stash around the office and pop frantically during deadline days. Find hipster flamingos, flaming rams and jumping bass (oh, my!) on p. 48. From the days of ol’ Brigham, the original homebrewer, in the 1800s to The Beer Nut opening its State Street doors in the 1990s, Utah beer culture runs deep. Our own Colby Frazier is adding his name to that illustrious list sometime, err … soon. Read all about him and his partners’ journey to open up their own small brewery on p. 34.

We skim this issue off with an homage to the woman responsible for many sticky beer coasters in the early 2000s: the St. Provo Girl, who far from the limelight is currently kicking ass in Oregon working on finishing her master’s.

t’s beginning to look a lot like Utah Beer Festival! Ah, yes, that most boozy time of the year is here, and with it, a whopping 240 or so different brews that’ll be available this weekend at the Salt Lake Fairpark, ranging from Ales to Zwickelbier (OK, that last one might be a stretch, but I needed something with a Z). Along with the plethora of suds, this year’s fest has a spiffy (and free) new app that’ll inform you on the vivid history of this year’s participating breweries. You old souls out there can check out a map on p. 40 for a tangible guide. Who doesn’t remember their first sip of beer? For me, it came after my sister’s employed Tecate while sunbathing as a natural hair lightener (Sun-In was a pricey commodity back then). I still remember the revolting, warm swig. “Adults are weird,” I thought. “Who on Earth would willingly drink this?” A few decades later, as evidenced by the clinking of cans meeting bottles when I

BY RANDY HARWARD

“Y

eah, I remember my first beer.” It’s a great insult to hurl at new, or simply obnoxious, drunks. My first beer came at age 5, when I mistook something domestic and watery for juice—I sipped and promptly spat. Years later, my cousins suckered me into drinking Everclear from a Big Gulp cup, then showed me my first porn film. I was 11. Three years later, my stepmom led me into the Logan Canyon woods and handed me a perspiring amber bottle. When I was sure I wasn’t being entrapped, I chugged most of it, then let out a thunderous belch that echoed through the canyon. She drank the rest while we walked back to camp. The following year, I mistakenly guzzled around 48 ounces of Smirnoff-spiked orange juice at my friend’s 15th birthday party, hoping to extinguish a gut-fire set by his mom’s delicious chile colorado. I wound up in Ruben’s cousin’s lowrider, singing along to Prince (“Raaaassssp-berry beret!”), then he showed me my second porn film (“Why are they biting each other and screaming?!” I wondered). The next day brought my first hangover—a doozy—and longest grounding. Consequently, I abstained until my 21st birthday, when Doug Feeley, one of a trio of Baltimore-bred ski bums who taught me to party, poured my first pint from a pitcher at The Pie. Like such a noob, I proclaimed, repeatedly and loud enough for all to hear, “Doug, I’m drunk! I can’t feel my face!”

Yeah. I remember my first beer. So do these folks.

Josh Anderson Manager, Brewvies

I catch Josh Anderson just in time for his afternoon break. After signing for a keg delivery, he lights a cigarette, kicks back and tells his story. “My mom used to make us go to fuckin’ Lake Powell every year, and we’d get a houseboat,” he says. “I hated it.” He soon changed his tune. “I was walkin’ around on the beach with my buddy, and we found two fuckin’ beers, still in a little six-pack thing in the fuckin’ river … you know what I mean, to stay cold and shit?” Anderson figures he and his friend were “only 8 or 9, and we were like, ‘Cooool, dude!’ ” The cans of Miller Genuine Draft, he continues, were “all scratched and shit,” like they’d been forgotten by fishermen. “We popped those open, dude, and fuckin’ went to town. Killed ’em. Tasted like shit, but I kinda liked it, you know? And I’ve been a degenerate ever since.”

Kevin Crompton Brewmaster, Epic Brewing

“Capt’n Crompton” started working at breweries in 1995, washing kegs. Now he’s the brewmaster for one of Utah’s most popular craft brewers. “My mom was from Uruguay, so, growing up, I was always allowed to have a glass of beer or wine with dinner,” Crompton says, taking a late-afternoon break. He says his early exposure to alcohol, facilitated by his parents, taught him to consume it responsibly. So about that first taste? He reckons it was when he was 9 or 10, accompanying his father to the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Fort Bridger in Wyoming. “It was a PBR quart.” Crompton didn’t drink the whole thing; they shared it in a father-son bonding moment. To this day, Crompton still enjoys his Pabst Blue Ribbons. “Just because you’re a brewmaster doesn’t mean you have to be a snob about what you consume … PBR is my mass-brewed beer of choice.”

FIRST BEER

As cellarwoman at Red Rock Brewing, Lauren Lerch cares for the beer post-brewing. That, Lerch says via email, “includes dry hopping, moving the beer from [the] fermentor to [the] bright tank in the cold room, bottling, kegging and storing.” Her first beer was Killian’s Irish Red at Irelands 32 in Suffern, N.Y. Being newly 21 and the daughter and granddaughter of teetotalers, Lerch was “a bit wary of booze.” The greenhorn thought Killian’s tasted like “dirty pretzel water,” so a friend ordered her a Wisconsin Lunch Box—Blue Moon mixed with orange juice, which was “a little better, but still strange.” Obviously, given her profession—and the blog she shares with Jenni Shafer, Lerch didn’t give up on beer. Over the next year or two, she got into ambers and pale ales, then stouts and porters. “I was absolutely disgusted with double IPAs for a long time,” she says. “We’re best friends now.”

Taking a break from his paperwork at the local homebrewing supply store, Saumure shares his first beer memory. “[My father] used to salt his beer; he grew up in Eastern Canada, and it’s a thing he used to do back there,” he recalls. “I vividly remember him pouring himself a beer in a glass, then slowly putting the salt in.” The reaction of the salt hitting the beer caused foam to tumble down the sides of the glass. “I always wanted to put the salt in for him because I liked the show.” The first time Saumure saw a bartender pour a nitro-infused beer and watched the froth cascade down the glass, “it immediately reminded me of putting salt in my dad’s beer.” Gdaadg, The Beer Nut’s store dog, once “worked” at a brewery, where the pooch received “one shift beer” daily. His first beer was a porter.

Mike Riedel Blogger, UtahBeer.Blogspot.com

Prolific craft beer blogger Mike Riedel was only 4 or 5 when he started buggin’ his father, an Olympia drinker, for swigs. Speaking with City Weekly at Miller Time, fresh from his day job as a photojournalist at Fox 13, Riedel says his father warned him. “He’d say, ‘You won’t like it!’” Undeterred, Riedel gave it a shot. “It was dry and bitter and awful,” he says. He repeated the request-and-revulsion routine every couple of weeks, with the same result. At 14, “on a boring Saturday,” Riedel and a friend pilfered a couple of MGD’s from his buddy’s father’s beer fridge. Again underwhelmed, Riedel relished the forbidden fun. At 20 or 21, Michelob Dark made Riedel a believer. “It was like an adjunct, probably like a schwarzbier, a black lager, made with rice and dark malt,” he says. “I thought, ‘Huh … It’s actually got some flavor to it.’ That was probably my gateway beer into looking at other craft brands.”

Next March, UBC brewmaster Jon Lee celebrates two decades of brewing. “The early first beers I was drinkin’ were Coors and Keystones,” Lee says, relaxing on the bottle-bench outside the UBC storefront. “My dad is from Colorado, so … I spent my time kinda cuttin’ [my teeth] on your American domestics, primarily Coors.” When craft brewing began to get popular, he tried Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale on a trip to northern California. “It was a barleysweet, super rich, high-alcohol monster. It was quite a tasty brew, sitting there underneath a 150-foot pine tree in their front yard,” he says. Lee doesn’t recall his very first taste. “I was very young; I wasn’t supposed to be drinking. I mean, I remember sneaking swigs when my dad went into the other room. Maybe he knew, and maybe he didn’t.”

Once upon a time, Mama Sartain trusted her 15-year-old son to stay home by himself while she was out of town. “My friends and I procured some beer from some guy that was standing outside the, uh, Kwik-E-Mart or whatever the hell it was,” Sartain says, shortly after returning—hungover— from a trip to Las Vegas. “And then we had a party.” The 12pack of “either Busch Light or Keystone” was enough to get them riled enough for the cops to show up. “We were just bein’ crazy, kind of experiencing what alcohol does to you,” Sartain says, “and feelin’ dangerous.” Usually, this is where parents are called and asses get whupped. Instead, the cops noticed the instruments owned by this band of delinquents who, aptly, called themselves “Rukkus.” One of the cops was a drummer, and wanted to jam. “His partner wouldn’t let him,” Sartain says. “They just cleaned up the beer cans and left. That was kind of nice.” CW

BEER WRESTLING How a simple idea turned into a four-year slog that is not over yet.

The author, center, surrounded by Tim Dwyer, Tom Fisher Riemondy and Steve Brown. cooked in a kitchen by chefs and delivered to your table by a server. It turns out that Steve, Tim, Tommy (my partners) and I, had never owned a restaurant, and didn’t even want to own a restaurant, so we decided to not own a restaurant. The other kind of brewery is a distribution brewery, like Uinta (many Utah breweries that are brewpubs also distribute), which makes its beer in a massive warehouse on 1700 South, where it is placed in bottles, cans and kegs and shipped around the world. The world is a big place, and Steve, Tim, Tommy and I dig it right here, in Salt Lake City. So we decided to try something a bit different. We wrote a 43-page business plan outlining the way that a brewery could open that is not a brewpub and does not distribute its beer far and wide. Rather than packaging our beer, people would have to come to our brewery to drink beer. And rather than having a restaurant, we would have food trucks and taco carts. This all sounds simple enough. But hidden within the text are theories, proclamations and estimations that need to be backed up by real numbers, industry data and a close examination of the area’s breweries, the latter of which we all undertook with boozy zeal. As we wrestled with our idea, a discovery was made. While the Utah Department of Alcoholic STEVE BROWN

t’s been four years since a couple of buddies and I sat down and began the extremely slow, arduous, painstaking and terrifying process of starting a brewery. All of the obvious stuff has happened: We’ve encountered thousands of roadblocks and pitfalls, and we’ve managed to overcome a few of them— a modest, but monumental undertaking that has proven to be just enough to keep us going. I could fill every inch of space in this week’s issue with the nitty-gritty details of putting our business plan together, raising money and jumping through legal hoops to secure our name, A. Fisher Brewing Co. Since I don’t have that kind of space, in one massive paragraph I’ll give you an overview of our model—the nuts and bolts behind our idea. Then I’ll focus on a few key points that have been particularly interesting. They involve the acquisition of property, the altering of city laws and our eternal wrestling match with government regulations. In Utah, there are largely two kinds of breweries. The first kind are brewpubs like Deseret Edge in Trolley Square, Wasatch Brewpub in Park City, Red Rock and Squatters, to name only a few. A key part of being a brewpub is the pub part, whereby hamburgers, fish and chips and other delicacies are

Setting new trench drains.

Beverage Control (UDABC) was totally cool with A. Fisher Brewing Co. operating a small brewery and locating a tavern on site to serve the beer, existing local laws would not permit it. Salt Lake City’s definitions of what types of breweries could exist were antiquated and stifling. The city defined a “brewery” as an establishment that manufactured beer, heavy beer or malt liquor for off-site consumption. Two other types of breweries were allowed in Salt Lake City at the time: a brewpub and a microbrewery. Both of these establishments had one critical item in common, in that they required food sales to make up 50 percent of total sales. Essentially, if you wanted to be a brewery in Salt Lake, you either had to distribute all of your beer for off-site consumption, or jump into the restaurant business. We pointed out this vagrancy to city planners, and a nearly year-long process unfurled. The end result was great for us and any future breweries in the city. Since the definition of microbrewery was more or less identical to a brewpub, it was dropped altogether. A new type of establishment known as a “small brewery” was created that would allow breweries that make less than 15,000 barrels of beer to operate a tavern on site. WooHoo!

A Place to Work

A. Fisher Brewing Co.’s new home under construction.

With city laws now allowing us to exist, we began the process of trying to find a home. Knowing that up to a couple of hundred thousand dollars would have to be expended to install drains and upgrade electrical and gas utilities, buying a building was an enticing option. But buying requires even more money to be spent up front. And all of those same upgrades would have to be made whether we owned or leased. To make a very long story short, we tried everything. For nearly one year, we negotiated with a property owner, drafting up architectural drawings and attempting to hammer out the details of a rentto-own option. These efforts, though, fell apart. A second effort at another location unraveled in similar fashion, after much work and around six months of planning and trying to meet in the middle. After more real-estate wrangling than any of us cared to do, we finally hired a realtor, who swiftly noticed that a roughly 4,000 square foot auto shop at 320 W. 800 South had been sitting on the market for more than a year. The place was perfect, but for one massive detail: The city’s new brewery laws came with limits, including regulations on where certain types of breweries could be located. In the new zoning maps, there is a big blank spot in the city where any type of brewery can possibly exist if it obtains a conditional-use permit. At this location, this was necessary. We filed the needed paperwork, held a pair of community meetings that were largely void of any concern from the community, and that conditional-use permit was granted. The building was bought, and we began the next phase of this little adventure.

Regulations

In order to apply for a permit from the Federal Alcohol and Tobacco Trade and Tax Bureau (TTB), a prospective brewery owner must first have an address, an architectural drawing of the space and many other items specific to the location of the brewery. And today, with breweries opening their doors at a rapid rate across the country, the folks who work at the TTB are busy. The average wait time for a TTB permit is 150 days. Some folks wait less, some more. And there does not appear to be any logical reason for falling on the low or high end of this 150 day lag. With a building, an architect, a contractor and the city’s blessing, we put several massive wheels in motion: We ordered our brewhouse and fermenters, which, similar to the TTB, involves some pretty serious lead time. We then applied for our federal permit, and we commenced to hemorrhage cash on construction (new roof, grease trap, drains, bathrooms, a bar, etc., etc.—a process that is ongoing. We had hoped to open by this summer, but the sunlight is already tilting toward fall. While we have our TTB permit in hand, we’ve only recently discovered that the UDABC won’t permit us to file an application for our beer manufacturing and packaging agency license until Salt Lake City has issued us a business license. Salt Lake City won’t issue a business license until our building permit is closed, which could be several more weeks. This has the potential to bump our opening even further back. These discoveries, jarring, disappointing and sometimes joyous, seem to be endless. At some point soon, we’re going to start serving beer at our brewery—a place that isn’t a restaurant and isn’t a big distribution facility—minor details that, given the

process, are miraculous. In between the germination of that idea four years ago and now, we’ve become moderate experts on zoning, city planning, jack hammering concrete, installing windows and making really expensive, and typically pretty sound, decisions. If all of this discourages you from opening a brewery, or some other endeavor, don’t let it. It’s been a good time, and there has been some thick comedy and real-world realizations along the way. Every person sees and experiences things in this world a little bit differently. This is true when it comes to important topics like racism, Donald Trump and whether or not Cutthroat Pale Ale is better than Full Suspension Pale Ale. It is also true when attempting to make any lasting decision at the brewery. What color paint in the bathrooms? Flush or waterless urinal? To grind or not grind the concrete? Imagine these scenarios played out a few hundred thousand times over every single detail imaginable. That’s what you’ll see when A. Fisher Brewing Co. returns to Salt Lake City sometime in … CW

These poppy portmanteaus really pack a punch. BY DARBY DOYLE

DARBY DOYLE

eertails. Hopsology. Brewtinis. Whatever you want to call ’em, some of the top spots in town for cocktails and nosh also feature drinks with one of our favorite ingredients any time of day: beer. Of course we’re hopelessly hooked on hops straight-up in a glass as our benevolent deity of choice intended. But we can appreciate some creative tinkering when the mood strikes to shake things up a bit. Whether you’re in the mood for savory, sassy or sweet, there’s a refreshingly bubbly beer cocktail to suit your specifications right here in the 801. Here are some of our faves around town.

BODEGA

EAST LIBERTY TAP HOUSE

The alcohol overachievers at Bodega/The Rest recently hosted an entire event featuring beer cocktails, all made with Uinta Brewing products aimed to raise funds for the Ales for ALS cause. Doing good deeds by imbibing? Always a win-win. All three of them were refreshing and delicious (hell yeah, I tried ’em all … duh). But The Harriet ($9)—so named by bar manager Adam Albro after the cult classic So I Married an Axe Murderer—notably nails all the cool and refreshing notes of summer sipping: fresh crushed blueberries, two kinds of housemade bitters, lime and grapefruit juices, crème de cassis for a nice black currant note, bourbon (bourbon and beer were made to go in a cocktail together) and Uinta’s German-style lager Fest Helles. “It’s an almost perfect hair of the dog drink,” says The Rest’s sous chef and collaborative drinks developer, Ryan Santo. We emphatically agree, and would love to wake up to Harriet any day, though we’ll not-so-patiently wait until the bar opens at 5 p.m.

An afternoon spent sipping on ELTH’s sunny patio and watching the wonderful wacky world of 9th & 9th go by always reminds us why we love SLC and her people so damn much. Add a beer cocktail or two concocted by owner Scott Evans to the mix, and we might never leave. Well, until the snow falls, then we’ll gladly take our shivering asses into the tavern proper. Inspired by the bright and bitter (in the best possible way) notes of locally made Shades of Pale Brewing’s truly phenomenal brew, the White IPA, Evans added local Beehive Jack Rabbit Gin to the party, along with orange and lime juices, sage bitters and fresh cilantro to create his Belgian Gin Spritz ($10). Big notes of orange peel and herb in the nose pair refreshingly with the gin’s floral notes, and SOP’s white IPA gooses the glass with a zing.

PIG & A JELLY JAR

DARBY DOYLE

To round out your hearty lunch or late power breakfast of chicken and waffles, nothing quite fits the bill like proletariat Pabst Blue Ribbon, served un-ironically at Pig & A Jelly Jar in pint Mason jars. We’re partial to P&JJ’s southern spin on the classic bloody beer with a PBR Mary ($4.50), which they stir up with their justspicy-enough housemade bloody mix and serve with a Cajun sea-salt rim and house-pickled green beans. Also hitting all of the savory buttons is their PBR-tini ($4.50) with a little pickle brine added to the PBR pint jar, an herb-salted rim and a strip of thick-cut bacon wrapped around a chunk of bleu cheese—all skewered with a steak-knife to keep that greasy goodness from unraveling. Food pyramid: Nailed that shit.

Leave it to the folks at Epic Brewing to take that roadie classic gin and juice, mix in a little salty dog-style summer sipping for further inspiration and take it up a notch or three by adding a hefty pour of their award-winning (for damn good reasons) Spiral Jetty IPA. Served with a sea-salted rim, the Great Salt Lake cocktail ($8) is packed with refreshing grapefruit juice and fragrant gin to give the bevvy a generous citrus base for all that hoppy IPA zip. Its fabulous paired with their hearty burgers, anything spicy or their hangover-friendly twist on that Canadian classic bit of gravy done good, poutine.

Zest is hitting all the summer lovin’ buttons with their boozy spin on that bit of warm weather refreshment wizardry, the shandy. In this case, they pair fresh cold-pressed watermelon juice with vodka and Uinta Brewing Co.’s Sum’r Organic Ale, a citrusy American blonde ale eagerly awaited every spring and destined for coolers all over Utah. Zest’s boozy and bright Watermelon Sum’r Shandy ($7) is available while the fruit is in season, and as early as 10 a.m. for weekend brunch (try it with their Southwest Skillet with quinoa and black beans; you’d never know it’s vegan).

The Fleur D’Orange ($7.50), made with that heavenly hefe, Beehive Jack Rabbit Gin, St. Germaine elderflower liqueur, orange bitters and orange juice, and housemade honey simple syrup. It’s an affordable and approachable cocktail that goes equally well with a lighter-style salad for lunch, or with RBC’s hearty brunch offerings like breakfast burritos or an eggs benny. Cheers! CW

BUZZED by

DESIGN A label says a thousand words.

BY WESTIN PORTER

ood beers get you buzzed. Great beers are marvels in art and rhetorical savvy in every aspect from inception to consumption. For this week’s Beer Issue, City Weekly pays tribute to six locally brewed masterpieces, crafted with the drinker in mind in every step of the process—from brewing to bottling.

Outer Darkness, Squatters Brewery Analysis: What does the complex

brewing process of a 10.5 percent-byvolume imperial stout made and sold under the most scrutinous and confusing liquor laws in the country look like? I give you, Squatters’ Outer Darkness. The beer boasts a complex combination of molasses, oak and licorice root, and, like the taste, the label leaves room for the drinker’s imagination to wander.

The Bottom Line: Earning its name from

the Mormon theology of hell, this beer is not for the amber ale faithful. The pair of flaming eyes framed in gold on a classic stout bottle is enough to make ol’ Joe Smith himself both nervous and thirsty.

The Devastator Double Bock, Wasatch Brewery Analysis: The one-of-a-kind flavor profile of this rich,

Spiral Jetty, Epic Brewing Company Analysis: This label perfectly captures the complex flavor

The Bottom Line: If a beer label’s job is to illustrate the

creamy and layered lager grabs drinkers by the hair of their noses and makes them throw back or throw down their bottles. And what better way to illustrate that kind of taste bud wallop than with the collage-like image of an apocalyptic Bighorn sheep bursting out of flames between Utah’s state capitol and landmark LDS Temple?

taste of the beer it’s labeling, then the artists at Wasatch had their work cut out for them in characterizing the smooth, strange flavor of Devastator Double Bock.

Cutthroat Pale Ale, Uinta Brewing Co. Analysis: Gaining inspiration from

Utah’s state fish, the Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, Uinta Brewing Co. nailed the perfect label to characterize the unique yet simple taste of this piney IPA. The soft lines of Utah’s fish chomping on a dry-fly, fore grounded by bold colors and fonts set the drinkers up for a flavor experience they’ll keep coming back for.

The Bottom Line: Much like the beer

it represents, this label captures everything all the best parts of a beer drinker’s Utah: tradition, adventure and the divinity of high-altitude taste.

of Epic’s Spiral Jetty IPA. While the Jetty symbolizes tranquility and repose, the blood red refinery sunset over the harsh, salted earth captures the harmonious yet incongruous flavor profile that is five different hops over soft malt flavors.

Johnny’s American IPA, Moab Brewery Analysis: Like Temple Square, the

Mountain Skyline and Delicate Arch, Johnny’s American IPA from Moab Brewery has become an iconic Utah symbol. Its simple red, white and blue ring logo foregrounding the old-timey movie title font is a classic and timeless image. It doesn’t take much for this pale ale to win over beer lovers of every stripe.

The Bottom Line: Johnny’s American

IPA is simple and gritty; characteristics proudly touted by the townspeople of Moab from which this brew hails.

Lake Effect, Proper Brewing Co. Analysis: A statement in minimalism,

Proper Brewing’s Lake Effect Gose Ale tributes Randall Pink Floyd, “the legendary rogue flamingo that resided at the Great Salt Lake,” per Proper’s website. A soft, simple and almost overwhelming blue swallows up all but the profile of Randall, standing tall in his unlikely home.

The Bottom Line: What better way to pay tribute to the improbable story of a pink flamingo that made his home in the inhospitable waters of a salt desert, than with a gose ale flavored with coriander and salt? CW

CANNED RESPONSES

The O.G. Provo Girl reflects on her past life as a beer missionary. BY ALEX SPRINGER

or local beer enthusiasts, the St. Provo Girl ad campaign occupies a soft spot in the heart of Utah’s brewing history. With the somber eyes of those who have loved and lost, they recall a TV spot that depicted this Norse goddess of a woman, clad in a low-cut dirndl with her golden hair done up in braids. Reclining on her side, she casually states “When I’m in the mood, I like to pop my top” before opening the locally brewed Provo Girl Pilsner. It’s a thing of beauty. A billboard followed, featuring the scantily clad beerbassador and the message “If you just said ‘Oh my heck,’ it’s probably not for you.” The tagline “Nice cans” evolved soon thereafter. It’s been 14 years since the St. Provo Girl broke hearts all over the world (or at least the Wasatch Front), and she’s since returned to her given name of Alise Ingrid Liepnieks. She laughs over the phone as she reflects back on that commercial. “I was lying on a piece of plexiglass for eight hours—my ass was so sore the next day! But every time you see a beer getting popped open, I would drink it. We ended up popping quite a few of them, so I actually had to call a friend to come pick me up.” Based on this experience alone, it’s immediately obvious why she was so successful—St. Provo Girl is a survivor who spits in the face of convention, and, so is Liepnieks. Almost two decades before Liepnieks took up the flaming red St. Provo Girl dirndl, our local landscape was devoid of breweries. When Greg Schirf moved here from Milwaukee in the early ’80s, he found our lack of beer disturbing. So he followed the advice of Mahatma Gandhi and established Wasatch Brewery as a way to become the change he wanted to see. Schirf’s mere existence as a brewer in a largely LDS state was enough to ruffle a few feathers, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that he decided to use that irreverent relationship as a way to sell more beer. After providing for a crowd that was thirsty for homebrewed suds, he correctly assumed that they’d feel alienated by the more religiously conservative members of their community. When Wasatch Brewery perfected their porter and pilsner recipes, Schirf had the idea to subvert the local religious culture and brand their new products as Polygamy Porter and St. Provo Girl Pilsner respectively. Using these slight jabs at Mormon culture to sell a product that only non-Mormons were buying was

enough to create an advertising phenomenon worthy of Don Draper. Polygamy Porter’s name and slogan (“Why have just one?”) made it a successful product in and of itself, but Schirf—who had already put up a billboard near church headquarters with the tagline “Baptize your taste buds”—wanted to capture something special with St. Provo Girl. Images of buxom Germanic blondes clutching frosty, overflowing beer steins sauntered through his head, but this wasn’t a job for just another empty-headed model. Schirf needed someone that not only looked the part, but was the part. Where could he find such a rare human being? At a bar, of course. “It’s a crazy story,” Liepnieks says. “I used to be a competitive snowboarder, but I blew my knee out. I was working at a bar called The Cozy, and one of my regulars, a guy by the name of Kevin, played golf with Greg. Greg described the girl that he wanted for the campaign, and Kevin thought of me.” Liepnieks came in for the audition, and everyone agreed that she was perfect for the part. “Initially, it was just supposed to be posing for a few pictures,” she recalls. “I don’t think me or Greg or anyone involved ever thought it would explode like it did.” Whether it was the result of Schirf’s business savvy or simply an act of God, Wasatch Brewery had found the face of St. Provo Girl just in time for the 2002 Winter Olympics. “The campaign gained some momentum on its own,” Liepnieks says, “but the Olympics really catapulted it above and beyond.” At the time, Utah was relatively new to the world of craft beer, but the rest of the world had been at it for time immemorial. The fact that this little brewery in Utah was paying homage to beer’s German progenitors with St. Provo Girl became fascinating for the international audience that was watching the Olympics. “We ended up getting a lot of international press, but I was floored when it hit USA Today,” Liepnieks says. Even today, people get nostalgic about the time they met the St. Provo Girl, and were able to preserve the moment with an autographed poster. In a post on City Weekly’s Facebook

Alise Ingrid Liepnieks then (left) and now (above). page, one former kitchen worker recalled his encounter with beer babe and the personalized message she emblazoned on his poster: “You can sautée my crabs any time.” Any large-scale campaign is going to get its share of criticism, and Liepnieks’ run was no different. “People said some pretty nasty things about Greg and me,” she recalls. “There were some articles that were published down in Provo that weren’t very nice. There was one that said I was a paid prostitute.” Wasatch Brewery’s international acclaim also drew the ire of the German brewers and distributors of St. Pauli Girl, who leveled a lawsuit against Schirf for alleged copyright infringement—which is why St. Provo Girl is now known as Provo Girl. “Greg just laughed it all off. He had a great attitude about it, which helped me out a lot,” Liepnieks says. Regardless of any controversies that arose during Liepnieks’ run as the Provo Girl, it gave her two whirlwind years that she cherishes to this day. She got to cohost a radio show (“I only dropped the F-bomb once,” she boasts), sign autographs, and even went onstage during a Rush concert. “Being up on stage and watching Neil Peart do his drum solo was the first time I was ever truly star struck,” she reminisces. After the wild ride as Provo Girl ended, Liepnieks spent some time traveling Europe and developing a talent for crochet beanies, which she sells on Amazon. She currently lives in Oregon and is about eight months away from finishing her master’s degree in public health. As we wrap up our phone conversation, I ask if she can sum up her experience as St. Provo Girl with just a few words, but I can tell it’s a tough request. “It was truly amazing,” she says, collecting her thoughts, “I felt lucky and blessed to be a part of it, and it was one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had.” CW

Hands of Stone can’t carve out a distinctive space among boxing biopics.

upcoming shows

BY SCOTT RENSHAW scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

Melody pulsipher

Edgar Ramírez, Robert DeNiro and Ruben Blades in Hands of Stone life, including his run-ins with mobsters in the 1950s and the sudden re-appearance of an estranged adopted daughter. Jakubowicz too rarely trusts that he can make a movie about the art of boxing that happens to include these two characters, rather than yet another cinematic Wikipedia entry. Of course, there are actual physical fight sequences as well, and Jakubowicz never seems entirely comfortable with how he wants to approach them. His camera swoops and swirls around the action, cutting to flash bulbs in a way that’s far too reminiscent of Raging Bull; his sound design is somewhat distinctive, with fighters in clinches occasionally seeming so intense that they’re breaking one another’s bones. But he too rarely opts to emphasize the momentum of any given fight, or how the strategic decisions Arcel emphasizes play out in the results of any given round. When the final bells ring, all we know is that two large men have beaten the crap out of each other. The 36 years since Raging Bull should have taught us that a fight needs to be about more than that. CW

Raging Bull (1980) Robert DeNiro Joe Pesci Rated R

fri, 8/26 acoustic space

comes up with what could have been a uniquely perceptive point of view, distinguishing it from the bulk of boxing films: Arcel’s constant refrain to Durán emphasizes the strategy of boxing, the part of the fight that is won between the ears rather than between the ropes. That becomes the central concept as the story reaches the two most famous fights of Durán’s career, his welterweight title battles with Sugar Ray Leonard (Usher Raymond). Both fights are impacted, Jakubowicz suggests, by playing on the opponent’s pride to get them to abandon their strengths, as well as by the sense of finally having “made it” that led to Durán gaining more than 30 pounds between the two 1980 fights. It’s almost enough to make you not want to roll your eyes at those old-school boxing aficionados who referred to it as “the sweet science.” The problem with Hands of Stone becomes the same problem that plagues too many film biographies: a refusal to trust that the story can be told without a mountain of “then this happened, then this happened” details. Jakubowicz spends ample time on Durán’s courtship and relationship with his eventual wife, Felicidad (Ana de Armas), leading up to the inevitable moment when his success-driven excesses lead to a rift in their marriage. There’s a detour involving one of Durán’s childhood mentors, the Fagin-like Caflán (Óscar Jaenada), and a scene in which Durán at last meets the father he had never known. And that’s saying nothing of the distracting amount of time the narrative spends on background events in Arcel’s

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

ou’ve got to hand this to Jonathan Jakubowicz, writer/director of Hands of Stone: It takes balls of stone to cast Robert DeNiro in your basedon-a-true-story boxing movie. It might be 36 years since DeNiro won an Oscar for playing Jake LaMotta in Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull, but that film remains a kind of gold standard, not just for capturing the visceral, kinetic intensity of boxing, but for shaking up the often predictable rhythms of the movie biography. And here’s a relatively inexperienced Venezuelan filmmaker, with his first American theatrical feature release, inviting comparison with a classic. That kind of pugnacious spirit feels just about right for the story of Panamanian boxing legend Roberto Durán (Edgar Ramírez). After opening up with Durán’s first American fight—and an introduction by his manager, Carlos Eleta (Ruben Blades), to successful but long-retired trainer Ray Arcel (DeNiro)— Jakubowicz circles back to Durán’s impoverished childhood with a single mother. His “origin story” becomes a familiar one of a tough street kid finding a way to survive and thrive through sports, but given a specificity anchored in Durán’s intense antipathy toward Americans—the result both of the swirling political unrest of the 1960s and 1970s over control of the Panama Canal, and the fact that Durán’s father was an American soldier who left his pregnant mother behind. There’s a strong foundation in that background for the relationship between Durán and Arcel, which plays with surrogate parent/child issues on both sides. Jakubowicz finds a few great moments in Durán’s corner between rounds—the best parts of Ramírez’s performance—as Arcel’s attempts to keep him focused collide with the fighter’s stubborn ferocity. It’s here that the director

EQUITY BBB It doesn’t take a doctorate in film studies to understand the double-meaning in the title, but this slick drama still provides a welcome alternative perspective on cutthroat high finance. Specifically, it’s a female perspective: Naomi (Anna Gunn), trying to regain her mojo for taking companies public; Erin (Sarah Megan Thomas), Naomi’s ambitious V.P.; and Samantha (Alysia Reiner), Naomi’s college friend, now working for the Justice Department investigating insider trading at Naomi’s firm. The plot swirls around a tech firm IPO, but the details are far less relevant than the way the film’s all-woman creative team—director Meera Menon, with a story co-credited to co-stars/producers Reiner and Thomas—explores multiple angles on being a woman in a man’s world. The direction and Gunn’s performance capture both her observant eye for a female programmer at the tech company whose advice might be dismissed by her boss, and her fear that the younger Erin might be trying to undercut her. Even when the style feels familiar or a few “trying to have it all” beats play as rote, there are plenty of sharp details about the cost of trying to play with the big boys.

HANDS OF STONE BB See review p. 53. Opens Aug. 26 at theaters valleywide. (R) THE INTERVENTION BBB Clea DuVall’s writing/directing feature debut finds several friends gathering for a weekend with a difficult purpose: Annie (Melanie Lynskey), Jack (Ben Schwartz), Jessie (DuVall) and several others intend to tell married couple Ruby (Cobie Smulders) and Peter (Vincent Piazza) that their relationship has turned so ugly that they should separate. Naturally, there are plenty of “physician, heal thyself” relationship foibles to go around among the others, and DuVall does a fine job of conveying how Annie’s issues in particular shape the way she approaches Ruby and Peter’s issues. And the ensemble is pretty uniformly terrific, with Lynskey getting most of the prime punch lines as the high-strung, often inebriated Annie, and Smulders finding a genuinely affecting core

of sadness in Ruby’s realization that her marriage is collapsing. The other characters’ dramas never find the same complexity, leading to something that might have been better served with either fewer characters or more time. What remains is still an engaging bit of Big Chill-ish reflection on being 30-something and still trying to figure out what you want out of love when you grow up. Opens Aug. 26 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—SR MECHANIC: RESURRECTION [not yet reviewed] Assassin Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is forced back into action to save the woman he loves. Opens Aug. 26 at theaters valleywide. (R) SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU BB.5 There are only two ways you could tell this story—inspired by the day-long first date between Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers) and his future wife Michelle Robinson (Tika Sumpter) in summer 1989—and both are fraught with peril. You could remind viewers that they were just ordinary folks: legal intern Barack with his rusted-floorboard car and smoking habit; young associate Michelle fond of chocolate ice cream and willing to dance with a drum circle. Or you could make it one of those origin stories that shows us all the building blocks of the hero(es) to come: Barack delivering an inspiring speech, or deftly making his white boss feel less threatened by Do the Right Thing. At various points, writer/director Richard Tanne takes both paths, and it’s a lot of weight for a gentle romantic drama to carry. Sawyers nails the cadences of Barack’s oratory in a way that doesn’t feel like a mere impression, and the chemistry between the two leads is natural and authentic. It’s just hard to surrender to the idea that this is an average love story, when it only exists because the day that it captures changed history. Opens Aug. 26 at theaters valleywide. (PG-13)—SR

CURRENT RELEASES BEN-HUR BB The 1880 novel Ben-Hur was subtitled A Tale of the Christ, and made Judah Ben-Hur’s conversion a significant part of the story. But you’d never guess it from this new adaptation, which feels like they wedged some Christianity into it at the last minute. The central narrative—about the enslaved Jewish prince (Jack Huston) seeking revenge against his treacherous Roman best friend (Toby Kebbell)—is a rote recitation of plot points without energy or humanity, and Judah gets to “forgive and forget” mostly on his own, not through the influence of peripheral Jesus. Director Timur Bekmambetov handles the sea battle and chariot race with aplomb—though the latter sequence pales in comparison to the legendary 1959 version—and Morgan Freeman is a welcome presence. But the plodding, pointless remake never presents a valid reason for its own existence. (PG-13)—Eric D. Snider DON’T THINK TWICE BBB In retrospect, it seems crazy that nobody thought of it before writer/ director Mike Birbiglia did: The milieu of improv comedy as metaphor for adults navigating life without a script. Birbiglia also co-stars as the de facto leader of a New York improv troupe—along with Keegan-Michael Key, Gillian Jacobs, Tami Sagher, Chris Gethard and Kate Micucci—as they face a crossroads when their home theater is sold. Birbiglia perfectly captures the world of insecure performers creating a surrogate family, complicated by envy and ambition. But while the individual characters aren’t all given enough room to register strongly, the story effectively captures people reaching pivotal moments when they have to admit which of their dreams might never come true. Even when it feels somewhat thin, it’s a poignant reminder of how much we’re all just making it up as we go. (R)—SR HELL OR HIGH WATER BBB.5 Two brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) launch a small-time bank robbery spree across the Southwest, with a creaky Texas Ranger (Jeff Bridges) clinging doggedly to their heels. Cookie-cutter though the premise might seem, director David Mackenzie and his cast deliver a fresh, vital spin, with the story’s growing darkness grounded by impressive central underplaying from Pine and a lessovertly-Method-y-than-usual Foster, sparked by sharply pungent dialogue. For all that, though, the movie really belongs to Bridges. Taking what could’ve been merely a re-do of Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men, he makes it entirely his own, with his deceptively amiable presence shepherding this terrific film through funny, savage and unexpectedly resonant places. As in many of the best crime sagas, all of the characters seem to have an idea of how things will ultimately turn out. (R)—Andrew Wright

KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS BBBB The feudal Japanese setting is in many ways incidental to the latest standout feature from stop-motion animation studio Laika; like all great stories, this one is about something bigger than its surface narrative. It follows a boy named Kubo (Art Parkinson) on a quest with a talking monkey (Charlize Theron) and a man-size beetle warrior (Matthew McConaughey) to find magical armor that will protect Kubo from harm. If Kubo had been nothing more than its unique visual style, it still would have been one of the year’s most remarkable films. But its heart is in the skill with which it allows us to invest in this specific story while building its thematic framework on the connecting power of archetypal myths. What better lesson to convey to children through a cinematic story than why we continue to tell stories at all. (PG)—SR

WAR DOGS BB.5 We’re still not taking Jonah Hill seriously enough as an actor— and he’s so much better here than the rest of the movie. The factbased story follows a struggling Miami guy named David Packouz (Miles Teller) who joins his childhood best friend, Efraim Diveroli (Hill), in his new business filling government military contracts. Co-writer/director Todd Phillips tries to focus on the logistics— and absurdity—of the system that allows Efraim and David to prosper, but his comedic approach never feels like a good fit for this morality tale. Meanwhile, the emotional focus on David’s relationship with his girlfriend de-emphasizes Hill’s interpretation of Efraim as an embodiment of sociopathic capitalism. His high, thin laugh practically becomes a character on its own, saying more than the entire rest of the film can muster about an insane system building profit out of death. (R)—SR

LO AND BEHOLD: REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD BBB Werner Herzog dives into multiple subjects related to our now-perpetually online world, from the birth of the internet through topics ranging from online addiction to the threat of solar flares wiping out connectivity. Herzog drops a few gems in his plummy Teutonic narration the way only he can, like describing the University of California Los Angeles basement where the primitive ARPANET was formed with “the corridors here look repulsive.” It’s fairly episodic, and perhaps Herzog circles around too obviously to the loss of human contact endemic to modern society. But who else would know just how long to hold the bizarre image of one troubled family behind a table full of muffins, or give the same cyber-warfare threats that drive Zero Days a much more intriguing human face? Modern life might be strange indeed, but Herzog is willing to find it both beautiful and repulsive. (PG-13)—SR

SUICIDE SQUAD BB Warner Bros. and DC Comics continue to try to play catch-up with the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the result is a sloppy patchwork quilt of now-familiar elements. The premise involves a team of incarcerated “meta-humans”— assassin Deadshot (Will Smith), Joker’s unhinged girlfriend Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and others—forced a shadowy government operative into accepting particularly dangerous missions. Every character then requires some kind of “origin” information, resulting in a cumbersome, stuffed-to-the-gills narrative. But Suicide Squad seems particularly determined to follow the Marvel template: setting up links to subsequent movies, tossing in a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque classic rock playlist, wrapping up with a mission to destroy a Giant World-Ending Machine. There’s some unique street-level action in writer/director David Ayer’s approach, but the biggest conflict affecting this movie is the one that’s taking place in studio boardrooms. (PG-13)—SR

The Strain continues the vampire invasion; You’re the Worst remains the best. The Strain Sunday, Aug. 28 (FX)

Season Premiere: The most disconcerting part of the Season 3 opener of The Strain, FX’s scariest series (sorry, American Horror Story), is when Setrakian (David Bradley) reminds us that it’s only been 23—23!—days since the Euro-vampires landed in New York City. Dr. Eph (Corey Stoll) is boozing through the pain of his girlfriend’s death and his son’s kidnapping by his now-vamp wife, and his anti-Strigoli bio-weapon is losing its lethality against “the munchers”—all of this stress could explain why his hair won’t grow back. The locals believe they’re still “New York Strong,” but even the military, which has essentially given up on saving the city, is outmatched (it does make for some great Call of Duty: Vamp Town action sequences, though). New Yorkers are on their own to fight The Strain, but what’s a little vampire takeover after beating back a Sharknado?

2016 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, Aug. 28 (MTV)

Special: In a twist this year for the MTV Video Music Awards, the Best “Rock” Video nominees—All Time Low, Coldplay(!), Fall Out Boy Feat. Demi Lovato(!!), Panic! At the Disco and Twenty One Pilots—are nearly out-rocked by the Best Electronic Video Nominees—and I can’t even tell you who they are because they all look and sound identical. Is there really a difference between Calvin Harris, Mike Posner and Chainsmokers besides hoodie textures? And why is there a Best Collaboration Video category when practically every video in every category has a “Ft.” guest? (I’m guessing “Ft.” means “Featuring,” though it could just as well stand for “Filler Twits.”) And why is elderly lady Britney Spears performing? And where’s my channel-clicker? I’ve gotta watch five hours of MTV Classic now.

You’re the Worst Wednesday, Aug. 31 (FXX)

Season Premiere: TV’s funniest comedy took a decidedly unfunny turn last season to deal with Gretchen’s (Aya Cash) clinical depression, and still managed to wring some laughs out of a downer detour. In Season 3, You’re the Worst gets

back on track with not only Gretchen and Jimmy (Chris Geere) in a relationship (and hating it, and loving it, and being confounded by it), but also Edgar (Desmin Borges) and Dorothy (Collette Wolfe) and, to a weirder extent, Lindsay (Kether Donohue) and Paul (Allan McLeod). History dictates, however, that at least one, if not all, of these couplings will devolve into a hot mess—and it’s going to be glorious (and, thanks to creator Stephen Falk’s masterful writing, painfully real). Seasons 1 and 2 of The Only AntiRom-Com That Matters are on Hulu. Get on it, now.

Marcella Streaming (Netflix)

New Series: Sure, it debuted back in July—don’t make me play the There Are Too Many Shows card! Marcella, a British series that’s made its way stateside via Netflix, comes from producer/writer/director Hans Rosenfeldt (FX’s late, great The Bridge), with Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies; the late, not-great American Odyssey) in the title role as a troubled London detective back on the case of a suddenlyactive-again serial killer. If the setup sounds a bit “beenthere,” consider some of Marcella’s troubles: Her husband (Nicholas Pinnock) has just left her for a younger woman at his legal firm; said woman is among the killer’s latest victims; Marcella suffers from rage blackouts from which she occasionally awakens covered in blood. Is she a murderer?

The Strain (FX) Or, at the very least, sane-ish? The answers don’t necessarily come, but Friel is fantastic, and Marcella is cooler than any new cop show arriving this fall on ’Merican TV.

Aquarius Saturdays (NBC)

The Final Episodes: This is how it ends, not with a bang but a Saturday-night burn-off. After being bumped from the NBC schedule for over a month due to political conventions, the Summer Olympics and Season 2 ratings that have sunk lower than a 4 a.m. infomercial for a Charles Manson box set (“Charlie Don’t Surf: The Complete Manson Masterworks! Order now!”), Aquarius is (un)officially over. The final six episodes of David Duchovny’s historical-ish ’60s cop romp will be blown out two-a-night for the next three Saturdays and, thanks to the show’s delusional fiveseason plan, there’s likely no wrap-up here and we’ll never find out if the LAPD ever caught Manson, dammit …

the music that I want to be playing on stage. This is the music I want people to be hearing … We want to make this sound huge.” So Until I Live embraces a few synth flourishes, and occasional electronic beats to go along with the band’s usual folk leanings. Parks’s gifts for writing memorable pop songs are still evident, but where Young encompassed quaint ditties, their sophomore release has more muscular pop songs such as “Glow” and “Stone’s Throw.” Getting to that point wasn’t easy. Parks remembers the recording of “Stone’s Throw,” a jaunty love song with a slight ’80s John Hughes soundtrack vibe, as the first real test of the band’s new direction and how far into pop they wanted to wade. The song was the first one they recorded for the album, but its demo iteration did not sound like The National Parks. “It actually sounded a little bit too synth-poppy for us,” Parks says. “We were like, ‘How can we bring this back a little bit into our realm?’ ” It wasn’t until they went back and added more violin and piano and replaced a guitar solo with horns that they found their musical sweet spot. “We wanted to maintain who we were at the core,” Parks says. If he had to describe what that core is, he identifies it as a band that likes to tell good stories. “We never want to have lyrics that are just fluff. We want them to be meaningful—that people can connect to them and really take something away.” Still, not every song tells a traditional narrative with a beginning, middle and end. Even the meaning of those stories can vary. As they continue to tour, the stories they tell will change with them, and no song stays the same on the road for long: “I think it’s really cool when you can go to a concert and you don’t come away feeling like you’ve just listened to the album,” Parks says. “You get a whole different experience. That’s something we try to create with our live shows.” CW

WASATCH POKER TOUR @ 8PM BONUS: SAT @ 2PM

f the stars of 2013 ever aligned for a band, it was for Provo’s The National Parks. Guitarist and vocalist Brady Parks started the band with fellow vocalist and pianist Sydney Macfarlane shortly after they met at Brigham Young University that year. A debut album came that September, and they played their first show at Provo’s Velour a month later. The show sold out, and the crowd was already singing along. “I stepped away from the mic,” Parks says in a recent telephone interview with City Weekly. “I was just so blown away.” That debut album, Young, quickly climbed the iTunes singersongwriter chart rank, peaking at No. 13, and their reputation as an energetic, foot-stomping live act grew. The band emerged in the middle of a major indie-folk boom, when they were one of many local bands who emulated the early, communal jamboree ethos of Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men. “It kind of all happened at the right time,” Parks says. They also benefitted from the unique makeup of the Provo music scene itself—a collective of young, spiritual, creative people living within (or reacting to) one of the most religious cities in America. With positive lyrics that hint at a deeper spirituality and a ridiculously photogenic lineup, The National Parks look and sound a lot like if the coolest counselors at church youth camp all formed a band together, and they’re the most emblematic of the scene’s peculiar brand. Ultimately, it has been the band’s ability to craft catchy songs that sound good in a pair of earbuds that has helped the band continue their upward trajectory. The challenge, Parks says, is staying true to the band’s identity while finding new ways to express it. The band released their follow-up, Until I Live, last September. Unlike with their first foray, they came into the recording studio knowing what they were capable of as a live act, so the album finds the band doing a little reverse engineering, as they wanted it to act as a kind of template for bigger live performances down the road. “We were definitely going for a fuller sound,” Parks says. “This is

It’s always been about the music at The Urban Lounge.

4760 S 900 E, SLC

Lounge Wizards BY RANDY HARWARD rharward@cityweekly.net

he Urban Lounge turns 15 this week. In some cultures, that’s when a person is considered an adult—except this is a bar, and a music venue, where people get drunk and listen to music at high volumes. Doing it in public is considered adult behavior, which is rather ironic. These clubs are like the playgrounds and tree forts from our childhood, the source of so many romanticized memories of summer songs, goofing around and consuming things that are supposedly bad for you. In adulthood, it’s pretty much the same—except we get to stay out as late as we want, and we have a shot at getting laid. Haunts like Urban come and go, or they change hands, names and aesthetics—identities—like brick-and-mortar Mr. Potato Heads. Co-owner Lance Saunders, corresponding with City Weekly via email, says the building at 241 S. 500 East originally opened as Bourbon Street for a few months in 1994. It then became The Holy Cow. That’s where, along with the Bar & Grill, I first experienced local music, watching bands like Honest Engine, Headshake and The Obvious. I recall thinking how cool it was that these dudes could rock a crowd as effectively as a touring band, then you could run into them at their day jobs on Monday. This, while doing what newly legal drinkers do: sucking down steins of beer or similarly sized Long Island iced teas, seeing if our puke threshold increased since last weekend. In 2001, the Gill family purchased the venue and christened it Da Phat Squirrel Presents: The Urban Lounge. A few years later, Mike Sartain (of the bands Fumamos and Starmy) became a silent partner. He says

that Da Phat Squirrel/Urban was “an awful box of bouncing sound.” With new sound gear and other upgrades, it evolved from booking mostly local bands to becoming a popular stop for touring acts. I have fond memories of seeing touring acts like The Hold Steady, Supagroup and a triple-bill of shockrapper Black Nasty, his singer-songwriter sister Pink Nasty and local indie-rock liabilities/treasures The Rodeo Boys. The club continues to land some fairly impressive bookings, like Joseph Arthur (Sept. 19), The Sword (Oct. 29) and Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook (Nov. 7). This, while still finding room for local acts—either through opening slots, album release shows, tribute nights or special events like Beat Society. Saunders and his business partners, Will Sartain (Mike’s brother) and Chris Wright (the club’s longtime sound engineer), took over in 2008. “I was very close with the Gill family and was able to attend a few shows before I turned 21,” Saunders says. “Same goes for Will. Funny thing: I saw an 18-yearold Will Sartain performing as Redd Tape, rocking out on his tippy-toes, before we even met in person—and I’m sure Chris Wright was running sound that night.” To last 15 years in a notoriously unstable industry is no small feat. Sartain and Saunders had been booking and promoting shows at other venues, and running production at The Urban Lounge for several years before taking the reins. Their experience, Saunders says, made running the joint easier. “We didn’t necessarily ‘struggle’ with anything.” In 2014, they

Happy Quinceañera, Urban.

purchased the shuttered Al Forno’s restaurant adjacent to Urban. Their eatery, Rye, is a popular neighborhood breakfast and lunch stop. Live music, however, remains their bread-and-butter. Sartain and Saunders say they’re committed to promoting a balance of local and touring artists, and giving them a great place to play their music. “If a band has a positive experience at The Urban Lounge, they are more likely to return in the future,” Saunders says. “We are always looking for ways to make the venue better for everyone.” Both men are pleasantly surprised that the club has lasted so long. “I’m so happy to be a part of something that we can share with the people of this city,” Saunders says. “Something that brings so much love, magic and fulfillment to so many lives. Our hope is to make Salt Lake City a better place for music. It’s all about the music. It always has been.” CW

THURSDAY 8.25 Grimes, Jagwar Ma, Elytra

On Grimes’ latest album, Art Angels (4AD), she flows from growling to choral high notes to rapping in each song. Like her music, she’s complex. Unapologetically feminine and badass at the same time, her lyrics are sassy yet vulnerable, and her career is a testament to independence: She’s signed to Jay-Z’s management company, records for the venerable major indie-label 4AD, and produces her own music. Her current single “Medieval Warfare” (Suicide Squad soundtrack) starts off like something written for Coma the Doof Warrior, the flamethrower-guitar player from Mad Max: Fury Road (played by real-life Australian shredder iOTA), then materializes as a pulsing electronic Die Antwoord-influenced anthem for independent women. Don’t miss her openers: Aussie duo Jagwar Ma plays pop music with a Tame Impala twist, and Elytra—founded by local music mainstay Lindsay Heath—bends genres and genders.

Although I’ve heard The Box Tops’ 1967 hit “The Letter” a zillion times, I’d never seen a clip of the Memphis band performing it until just now. Pretend we’re hanging out. Bring up YouTube on your smartphone and search for the clip from the old TV show Upbeat. That’s Alex Chilton—the man behind powerpop luminaries Big Star—singing. Doesn’t he resemble a young and not-so-twitchy Eddie

RANDY HARWARD & KATHLEEN STONE

Money? Check out the bored-intense look in his eyes. He looks like ennui will drive him to murder—or maybe he’s simply determined, like the song’s protagonist, to reunite with his lady, who wrote him an email or something. It’s hard to tell. The dude only smiles in the parts of the video that don’t sync up. Anyway, Chilton passed away in 2010, but original members Bill Cunningham and Gary Talley keep the band—and its other hits, like “Soul Deep” and “Neon Rainbow”—alive.

Ogden Valley Roots & Blues Festival: Bill Kirchen, Fred Eaglesmith, Luther Dickinson Trio and more

Ogden Friends of Acoustic Music’s two annual festivals are two of the best-curated in the state. This year’s Roots & Blues fest is

Grimes no exception. I mean, they’ve booked Bill Kirchen, a country-and-rock minded guitar player of jaw-dropping skill, who just released Transatlanticana (Red House) with Austin de Lone of pub rockers Eggs Over Easy, who opened the door to punk and new wave. There’s also Canadian cult singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith, whose long discography is seriously an all-killer, no-filler feast of great stories and characters. Those two don’t get here nearly enough. On top of that, the Luther Dickinson Trio (you know, that Luther—from North Mississippi Allstars, Hill Country Revue and the baby’s arm of artist/producer Jim Dickinson) is on the bill—not even a month after NMAS played Red Butte. Not to mention a whole mess of other great talent. Check the website for the full lineup and directions.

Lost ’80s Live: A Flock of Seagulls, Wang Chung, Nu Shooz, Animotion, Cutting Crew, Naked Eyes, Farrington & Mann the Original “When in Rome UK”

City Weekly’s Utah Beer Festival, featuring The Arvos, Candy’s River House, Talia Keys, Larusso, Concise Kilgore (DJ set)

You know you wait all year for this—a chance to consume high-point brews (or, for lightweights, beer-garden variety four-point) in public, in sample sizes that make for easier buzz-crafting, as Epic brewmaestro Kevin Crompton calls it. Along with Epic, UBF 2016 welcomes 62 other local, national and international brewers. That includes local usual suspects like Squatters, Wasatch and Uinta, and youngbloods like Shades of Pale, Strap Tank and Proper. Relative “imports” include Ninkasi, Lagunitas, Deschutes and Oskar Blues, who gave the world Beerito and its not-so-hidden wonder. Plus, there’s food from CupBop (drool), Taco Cartel and Fat Kid Mac-n-Cheese. And oh, yeah—music! We’ll have blues-rockers Candy’s River House and The Arvos, singersongwriter-multi-instrumentalist spitfire Talia Keys, arena-ready poppunks Larusso and a DJ set from rapper Concise Kilgore. (RH) Utah State Fairpark, 155 N. 1000 West, 2-8 p.m. (1 p.m. early entry for VIP and EBD ticket holders), $20-$55 ($5 for designated drivers), UtahBeerFestival.com

I remember seeing, years or even decades ago, soul revue shows on TV where old Motown or Stax artists would parade in front of a house band, play their hits and split. I’ve often wondered if that’ll happen with the music of (activating wheezy Grandpa Simpson voice) my daaaaayyyy. It’s not necessarily transpiring with Lost ‘80s Live, but it’s close. Each of these bands jumps straight out of your memories and/or multi-disc ‘80s pop compilations and plays only their hits. No plugging new material, no deep cuts—just the hits. Which is fine, ‘cause it’s rare that, “Here’s one from our new album,” precedes goodness. It’s usually just a cue to cheer politely, followed by a so-so tune that’s either derivative of past hits, an indulgent departure or a desperate bid for fresh success—followed by an invitation to visit the merch table. So seven bands, splitting, one reckons, three hours of stage time? That amounts to some pretty short sets. Attention spans being what they are nowadays, that’s kinda perfect. It’ll be like a physical manifestation of the block party weekends we used to hear on our transistor radios in those Day-Glo summers of yore.

Timpanogos Music Festival: Silversun Pickups, The Moth & the Flame

After a stellar debut last year featuring more than 30 local artists performing for thousands of attendees, the Timpanogos Music Festival enters its second year with a bang. Having outgrown last year’s venue, the festival moves to Utah Valley University’s Brent Brown Ballpark for 2016. Los Angeles alternative rock superstars Silversun Pickups headline a roster of mainly local artists like The Moth & the Flame, RKDN, Spirit City, Haarlem and Sego. Food trucks and other purveyors of fine snack foods will be on hand to keep you energized for the eight-plus hours of music. (Alex Springer) Brent Brown Ballpark, 970 W.

The past decade has blessed us with no shortage of alt-bluegrass revivalists, but there’s something about Rose’s Pawn Shop that feels fresh and inventive. Named after an experience when a jilted lover pawned frontman Paul Givant’s musical instruments, Rose’s Pawn Shop is no stranger to country-style heartbreak. The Los Angeles-based band channels twangy banjos, wispy mandolins and screeching fiddles into high-energy pub songs and low-key ballads. Over the course of their 10-year run, they’ve recorded and released three records. Their most recent, Gravity Well, was produced and mixed by Ted Hutt (Dropkick Murphys, Old Crow Medicine Show). Local folk-punks Millie and the Moths open for an evening of acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies and melancholy introspection.

Barbershops have come back into vogue in recent years. If you’re looking for the classic experience, but don’t know where to start, check out Stefahn’s Barbershop. With five barbers, it offers services at a reasonable price. Recently celebrating their first anniversary in business, these barbers are excited about what the future holds. When you step through its doors, you might feel like you’ve gone back a few decades. With hardwood f looring, exposed brick, white countertops and leatherand-chrome barbershop chairs, Stefahn’s feels old-fashioned with a contemporary edge. “We renovated it ourselves from the ground up,” owner Stefahn Looney says. Black-and-white photographs from another era cover the walls, as do rustic wooden bookshelves displaying grooming products for sale. The shop frequently plays music while customers relax, waiting to be groomed. Looney graduated from The Barber School in Midvale (TheBarberSchool. com) in 2011. He says the shop is special due to the strong sense of community and history of the surrounding areas. It opened “to provide the Marmalade, Rose

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Suggested experiments: 1. Take a vow that from now on, you won’t hide your beauty. 2. Strike a deal with your inner king or queen, guaranteeing that this regal part of you gets regular free expression. 3. Converse with your future self about how the two of you might collaborate to fully unleash the refined potency of your emotional intelligence. 4. In meditations and dreams, ask your ancestors how you can more completely access and activate your dormant potentials.

consider disclosing as much as possible of your true nature to anyone with whom you plan to be intimately linked in the future and who is missing important information about you. It’s high time to experiment with being more completely yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) I hope you are not forlorn, shivery, puzzled or obsessive right now— face.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Are any of your allies acting like they’ve forgotten their true purpose? If so, you have the power to gently awaken them from their trances and help them re-focus. Is it possible you have become a bit too susceptible to the influences of people whose opinions shouldn’t really matter that much to you? If so, now is a good time to correct that aberration. Are you aware of having fallen under the sway of trendy ideas or faddish emotions that are distorting your relationship with your primal sources? If so, you are hereby authorized to free yourself from their hold on you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’ll be one of those rapid-fire, adjust-on-the-fly, think-onyour-feet, go-with-your-gut times for you—a head-spinning, endorphin-generating, eye-pleasing, intelligence-boosting phase when you will have opportunities to relinquish your attachments to status quos that don’t serve you. Got all that, Cancerian? There’ll be a lot of stimuli to absorb and integrate— and luckily for you, absorbing and integrating a lot of stimuli will be your specialty. I’m confident of your ability to get the most of upcoming encounters with cute provocations, pleasant agitation and useful unpredictability. One more tip: Be vigilant and amused as you follow the ever-shifting sweet spot.

| COMMUNITY |

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The cosmos seem to be warming up to your charms. The stinginess it displayed toward you for a while is giving way to a more generous approach. To take advantage of this welcome development, you should shed any fear-based beliefs you might have adopted during the recent shrinkage. For instance, it’s possible you’ve begun to entertain the theory that the game of life is rigged against you, or that it’s inherently hard to play. Get rid of those ideas. They’re not true, and clinging to them would limit the game of life’s power to bring you new invitations. Open yourself up wherever you have closed down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) I invite you to dream about your true home … your sweet, energizing, love-strong home … the home where you can be high and deep, robust and tender, flexible and rigorous … the home where you are the person that you promised yourself you could be. To stimulate and enhance your brainstorms about your true home, experiment with the following activities: Feed your roots … do maintenance work on your power spot … cherish and foster your sources … and refine the magic that makes you feel free. Can you handle one more set of tasks designed to enhance your domestic bliss? Tend to your web of close allies … take care of what takes care of you … and adore the intimate connections that serve as your foundation.

T-SHIRTS

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The odds are higher than usual that you will be offered a boost or promotion in the coming weeks. This development is especially likely to occur in the job you’re doing or the career plans you’ve been pursuing. It could also be a factor at work in your spiritual life. You might discover a new teacher or teaching that could lift you to the next phase of your inner quest. There’s even a chance that you’ll get an upgrade on both fronts. So it’s probably a good time to check on whether you’re harboring any obstacles to success. If you find that you are, destroy those rancid old mental blocks with a bolt of lightning.

New at Newgate

Ogden, also known by locals as “O-Town,” claims to be the oldest white settlement in our fair state because of a little mountainman encampment called Fort Buenaventura. That first group of structures was erected, staked-out and owned by a trapper named Miles Goodyear. He sold his humble digs to some Mormons, and soon more people were heading north from Salt Lake City to a green valley with a good water source— the Weber River. The name “Ogden” comes from another mountain-man by the name of Peter Skene Ogden, who was rooting around the area even before Goodyear set up camp. As the years passed and people staked out claims along the hillsides and river bottoms from Provo to Ogden, another phenomenon came to be: the railroad. If you know your Utah history, you’ll know that lines from the West Coast to the East Coast were finally joined just outside of O-Town in 1869, and the boom then began. Weber Stake Academy opened in 1889 (named after another trapper, Henry Weber), later becoming a junior college, and now known as Weber State University. The humble little city became a shipping capital that at times was busier than downtown Salt Lake City, with sugar and produce from farms and orchards boxed, crated and sent to the big cities served by the railroads. Then came the world wars, the soldiers, the manufacturing companies, the Native Americans sent to school in Brigham City, and Hill Air Force Base—all bolstering the population and businesses in Ogden and surrounding suburbs. In the last century, the Homart Development Co. built the Newgate Mall at 3651 Wall Ave. It wasn’t a huge success at first, with anchor stores like Sears and Mervyn’s, and Utah’s first Chick-fil-A. They had a high vacancy rate until their competitor, the Ogden City Mall (also called The Junction) closed. Now Newgate has just been sold for $69.5 million to the private-equity firm Time Equities, Inc. They aren’t new to the retail leasing game. Although it is their first venture in Utah, they own 52 other malls and outlets in the United States and Canada, and 4,000 multifamily residential units across the country. Ogden has gone through the ups and downs of local economy quirks, as well as national depressions and recessions. But it’s a really affordable place to live, and surrounding farmers haven’t stopped using the rail lines to ship Utah’s famous peaches and cherries to other cities.n Content is prepared expressly for Community and is not endorsed by City Weekly staff.
