“Plot Twist,” July 30 Opinion

The past year and a half I’ve read a “banned” book a month. I’m reading books I’d never have considered before they were banned. Turns out I’m enjoying all types of books. STEPHANIE KAKES SMITH Via Facebook The more they push to ban books the more I will read banned books. MOOCHI_GRAM Via Instagram

It is funny because I was a library kid who read a lot and all this makes me wonder if the banned-books people have read any other books, because there’s a lot going on in most books. PEPPER ROSE Via Facebook Due to the cell phone ban at our school, I saw more of my students reading. It was great. MARY FIRPO Via Facebook Is this why gossip novels are the only thing left to read at the library? It just now clicked. VERONICA RODRIGUEZ Via Facebook If no one reads, why are bookstores busy when I go in them? The real non-readers are the book banners. RALPH ARNOLD Via Facebook

You idiots need to ween off the hysteria. “Book banning”—it is the public school libraries. You keyboard warriors and social justice warriors want your child to read age-inappropriate material? Go to your county or city library. WILL SHIELDS Via Facebook Sure they don’t [read]. That’s why Barnes and Noble is opening 60 new stores this year. BARBARA O’DONNELL Via Facebook I will talk shit on this book and series [A Court of Thorns and Roses] all day. I’ve done my time. FARTYBARFS Via Instagram This has been my sense too. Glad it’s succinctly stated. PHOENIX.RISES.11 Via Instagram

Also, just because it’s being taken out of public schools does not make it a ban. If you can purchase this book at the store, it’s not a ban. EVLJUNGLEPRINCE Via Instagram

COOLER Do you have a memorable family vacation when you were growing up?

Eleni Saltas

Niagara Falls, aka the trip my family went on without me but tried to convince me I went on. I hope they had a good time!

Elizabeth Converse

Small-town upstate New York in the Adirondack Mountains. Life was simple and easy and I never worried about bills.

Scott Renshaw

In 1983, when I was 16, my grandparents took my brother and I from California to South Dakota to visit my cousins. It was my first visit to Vegas (won prizes at Circus Circus), went through Yellowstone, saw Mount Rushmore. A lot of sightseeing to pack in, but lots to remember. I even changed my first flat!

Wes Long

All Long Family trips had their memorable moments, but the public intercom at Cape Canaveral telling my family specifically to leave after closing time sticks in the memory: “Yes, you.”

Mark Dago

Pretty much all my summers were spent in the Garden State. Seaside Heights pre-Jersey Shore. I do miss hanging with the fam, swimming in the warm August ocean, sand crunching on my sausage and peppers & the smell of a sea breeze.

OPINION BY JOHN RASMUSON

Of Mice and Men “The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.”—Lily Tomlin

once lived in a house where the yard merged with a brushy woodland on the back side. Attached to the house was a two-car garage. I shared it with field mice. They used it as a Four Seasons-style spa. It provided them a comfy place to sleep and all the spilt dog food they could eat. The marquee attraction was the peanut butter I used to bait a harmless Havahart cage trap. I caught four or five mice each week—all uninjured, all with peanut butter on their whiskers. I carried each trapped mouse into the woods and turned it loose. It seemed like the right thing to do. My kids thought so, too. Nevertheless, an uppity neighbor made fun of the practice. “You are catching the same mouse every day,” he said in an argumentative tone. My response to the provocation? To spritz the captives’ tails with orange, fluorescent paint before letting them go. Sure enough, I never caught an orange-tailed mouse a second time. To be honest, I might have been less accommodating had it been a horde of large, menacing rats instead of cute, little, white-footed mice. Rats have an image problem. It dates to the bubonic plague in the 1300s and the role rats played in the spread of the dreaded disease.

The English language distinguishes between rats and mice. “Rat,” the noun, denotes a deceitful and contemptible person; whereas a “mousy” teenager is just a timid kid. “Rat race” connotes a joyless way of life, a drudgery made worse by stress and lengthy commutes on I-15. Children’s literature provides examples, too: Cinderella hung out with two likeable mice, Gus and Jacques; but the Pied Piper rounded up every rat in town and drowned them in a river. I got to thinking about those spray-painted mice on a day I prospected the rodenticide section of Home Depot, looking for what I might use to get rid of rodents. I had been watching three, big-ass rats cavort in my front-yard flower beds in broad daylight. It didn’t take long at Home Depot to find options to deal with them. You could poison them or electrocute them. You could whack them with a spring-loaded snap trap. You could enmire them in a film of sticky adhesive. You could catch them in a “humane” Havahart trap. For 30 bucks, you could buy one that was sturdy enough to hold a frenzied rat until you could find a suitable place to let it go. Finding that place will always challenge a principled Havahart trapper. If you live in the city, if you rely on a bike and not a car, if your friends shrink from a live rat close at hand, then what to do? It was easy when I could take a short walk into the woods behind my house, but that was a different time and a different place. More recently, a friend of mine—a sensitive mother of young children—trapped a house mouse in a Havahart. Because she was pressed for time, she decided to drive to nearby Sugar House Park to set it free. Once there, she uncaged the mouse, then lingered to watch it run for cover along Parley’s Creek. Suddenly, a

seagull swooped down from the sky, snatched the mouse and swallowed it whole! My friend was left shaken. Her options were limited. About all she could do was to immerse both trap and rat in a garbage can filled with water. To manage that Pied Piper solution, however, she would have to reconcile the attendant irony of trapping a rat without harming it and then taking the trouble to drown it. She couldn’t bear to do it and neither could I. I finally left Home Depot with a snap trap. It cost two dollars. Its wood base was fitted with a spring capable of whacking a careless finger. And it looked old-fashioned. You would expect to find it in a small-town hardware store where the mere mention of rats might lead to a sales pitch for a pellet rifle with a scope. I know a guy who summers in rural Maine and winters in Florida. His summer house was besieged by rodents— red squirrels by name. They tore up soffits and window screens with impunity and at considerable cost. In the attic, they fashioned nests in the fiberglass insulation. One day in May, he walked into a hardware store to buy some squirrel traps and walked out with a .410 shotgun and a box of birdshot shells. He loaded the gun and put it in a living-room closet. I have since seen him suspend a conversation, fetch the gun, walk across the room and shoot a squirrel out of a tree from the living-room door. My snap trap purchase brought an e-mailed request from Home Depot for me to review my retail experience “for the benefit of other customers.” I have done so here on City Weekly’s dime. It is a telling tale, I think. There are plenty of tangents to follow and opportunities for irony and morality to have a say. The rats are still racing, however, as if running on a treadmill. The snap trap has claimed four rats in my front yard, and I’m feeling a little guilty. CW

HITS & MISSES BY KATHARINE BIELE |

@kathybiele

HIT: Here Comes the Sun

Barring waterboarding our elected officials, it seems unlikely that they’ll recognize climate change any time soon. And why do we even mention it? Let’s start with a report from May, when solar became Utah’s top source of energy. Fox13 did ask Rep. Celeste Maloy what she thought and got the same tired talking point—“all-ofthe-above” approach. This, despite the Trump administration’s disdain for alternate energy sources. The Salt Lake Tribune came out swinging on its editorial page. “(Gov. Spencer) Cox and other state leaders should … be confident that they are holding the vast promise of renewable energy in their back pocket.” But when you talk about pockets, officials see only dollar bills coming from risky bets on nuclear and of course, the administration’s strange love of coal. Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment’s Brian Moench, who rarely holds back, asks the governor if he thinks we’re stupid, especially with the bet on nuclear. That, of course, is a rhetorical question.

MISS: Candid Cameras

It’s all about safety, you know. With crime, crime and crime, police departments really need help to find those, uh, criminals. And so, Salt Lake City has employed a limited number of automatic license plate readers. Axios talked to a University of Utah law professor who had some concerns. Mostly, those concerns revolved around trust in the system, since some police officers have been caught abusing the technology. The Salt Lake City Council is looking at adding guardrails to the automatic readers, even after they helped find a stalker of the mayor. Stateline noted the administration’s goal is to create a “surveillance dragnet across the country.” Even some conservative states are loath to agree to that—despite the effort to centralize all the states’ voter records and private information. It’s all about those illegal aliens, or maybe people who just aren’t MAGA enough. Ogden is a big user but hasn’t opted for a shared national lookup. That could change, the ACLU warns. And with AI and data centers proliferating, the media needs to report on the big picture—the national spy network.

MISS: Work it Out

Speaking of “aliens,” Jason Chaffetz wants us to know that we should just let the markets work and get rid of all that cheap foreign labor. His op-ed in the Deseret News was a harbinger of his gubernatorial campaign and his “categorical rejection” of Sen. John Curtis’ bipartisan legislation to give temporary work visas to foreign workers. “We don’t need to let more people in,” Chaffetz said. And the Twitter-verse apparently agrees. But among the comments in the DNews was this: “Maybe he, Mr. Chaffetz, could try farm work for a couple of weeks and then see what he thinks.” There’s no doubt the deportation push has also hurt work in lower-wage industries, industries Chaffetz believes will be filled by eager Americans. Sadly, he’s not interested in a congressional solution. CW

Eye-Opening

n August 1—aka “801 Day”—Salt Lake City gave residents their first look at the future of one of the city’s most artistic landmarks. In the 9th and 9th Neighborhood, officials revealed the design for a new mural coming to “Out of the Blue,” the whimsical roundabout sculpture known by locals as “the Whale.” The new artwork, titled “Open Your Eyes,” comes from Salt Lake Countybased artist Jiyoun Lee-Lodge. Her site-specific design draws inspiration from the Great Salt Lake, Utah’s wide-open skies and the movement of water. The design features flowing wave patterns, gradients of pink and blue and scattered, colorful dots that make the surface seem to shift as visitors walk around it. The thought is that the whale won’t just be seen—it will feel alive. “The colors may change, but ‘Out of the Blue’ will remain the joyfully unexpected landmark that Salt Lakers have made their own,” said Mayor Erin Mendenhall. “This new mural, inspired by Great Salt Lake, reflects a city that can hold onto what it loves while continuing to grow, evolve and see itself in new ways.” Lee-Lodge’s design was informed by the “shapeSLC” engagement process, which gathered input from more than 1,700 residents about what the whale sculpture and their neighborhood means to them. From there, the Salt Lake City Art Design Board made the selection, working with community stakeholders. The Board selected Lee-Lodge’s vision from a competitive county-wide call that included public presentations. Judges weighed artistic excellence, feasibility, community responsiveness, maintenance and safety before landing on “Open Your Eyes.” The whale itself has a short but beloved history. Artist Stephen Kesler created and installed “Out of the Blue” in April 2022, always with a plan to refresh its surface mural every three to five years. Its inaugural color scheme—Mike Murdock’s “Point of Reference”—celebrated the sunrises and sunsets that light up the 9th and 9th skyline. Now, the landmark design passes to a new artist with a new story. The whale sculpture anchors a roundabout where Harvey Milk Boulevard (900 South), 1100 East and Gilmer Drive meet—a spot that has become a symbol of creativity, resilience and community pride. For many Salt Lakers, it’s the kind of landmark that makes a neighborhood feel like home, while also helping to calm vehicle traffic and improve walkability. Lee-Lodge will pick up her brushes in late August, and the sculpture’s transformation will unfold in the weeks that follow. When the final dot is placed, the city plans to throw a party. “Whale Fest” arrives Saturday, October 3, to celebrate the completed mural in true community fashion. More details are on the way in the coming weeks. Until then, keep an eye on the roundabout. CW

Alfredo Jaar: The End; Eleanor Mahin Thorp: Snowtrickle, feldspar, dirt; Rick Silva: Dirt Nap @ Utah Museum of Contemporary Art Anyone who has been conscious through the summer months this year can’t help but be aware of the centrality of climate and its impact on the landscape to our experience. Three new exhibitions at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (20 S. West Temple) approach this concept from a variety of angles—some of which are extremely relevant to us in Utah, and others with a broader sensibility. In The End, internationally-acclaimed artist Alfredo Jaar addresses the ongoing crisis at the Great Salt Lake. The lake has lost roughly 73 percent of its volume and 60 percent of its surface area since the 1800s due to heavy water diversion. Rather than creating massive, dramatic prints of the destruction, Jaar keeps the photographs small and intimate, framing the installation as a “visual whisper, a lament for our dying planet.” In Snowtrickle, feldspar, dirt, painter Eleanor Mahin Thorp—raised in Utah, now based in New York—looks at how land carries the traces of natural processes and human extraction. Working with geothermal features around Yellowstone National Park, Thorp builds up her canvases using actual mineral matter alongside references to Persian animist traditions from her Iranian heritage, framing the landscape as an active physical archive rather than static scenery. Meanwhile, in the Codec Gallery, Rick Silva’s Dirt Nap shifts the focus to vulner-

Bianca Velasquez: Prescribed Burn and IRL – Brenna Cooper, Jeremiah Parkin and Lizzie Windsor @ Finch Lane Gallery In a solo exhibition, Salt Lake City artist Bianca Velasquez explores the parallels between ecological fire practices and personal transformation through beadwork and acrylic painting. Inspired by the short documentary Fire Tender and the Indigenous practice of cultural burning, the artist examines how intentional fire creates the conditions for renewal, suggesting that growth often requires sacrifice. Depicting flowers that bloom in post-fire landscapes alongside abstract reflections on moments of rupture in Velasquez’s own life, the exhibition considers what can emerge from loss, presenting fire as both wound and medicine. While adopting the term “prescribed burn,” Velasquez uses it critically as a metaphor for the medicinal and spiritual potential of intentional sacrifice. In the joint exhibition IRL Utah-based artists Brenna Cooper, Jeremiah Parkin and Lizzie Windsor express a shared interest in marrying image and object. The work challenges conventional ideas of photography by emphasizing photographs as physical objects rather than representations of a different time, place or reality. Focusing on ordinary subject matter, the exhibition responds to the overwhelming consumption of digital imagery by transforming photographs into tactile objects that reconnect viewers with photography’s hands-on, process-driven traditions and encourage an even closer look at the everyday.

Roland Thompson: blip @ “A” Gallery The word “blip” suggests something unintentional—a mistake, an interruption, a glitch in the intended pattern. Artist Roland Thompson—an art instructor at Utah Valley and Brigham Young Universities, and a graduate of BYU—brings intentionality to that concept with a series of sculptural pieces. The artist’s custom-cut wall art toys with the senses using a pop-art sensibility—playful shapes and meticulous rhythmic patterns delight the eye, while handcrafted textures, dashes and “blips” form visual simulations of movement and sound. Combining the vibrant colors of flashing arcades and online gaming, the pieces stimulate us with new patterns and fresh connections. Shape, line and color operate in tandem to form illusions and create interruptions in space, as play becomes the discipline through an emphasis on rhythmic lines, joyous color and a minimalist intent. Roland Thompson’s blip runs at “A” Gallery (1321 S. 2100 East) through Aug. 29. Visit agalleryonline.com for gallery operating hours as well as for additional information.

Mad King Productions: Macb*tches Those familiar with Shakespeare’s “Scottish play” know Macbeth as a tale of ambition and power, one in which the manipulations of Lady Macbeth lead to violence and disruption. But writer Sophie McIntosh took a unique angle on the story in her 2022 play Macb*tches, which shifts the source of the drama from the question of who will rule a kingdom to the question of who will rule a college drama department, as a production of Macbeth leads to angst among upperclassmen when freshman Hailey gets cast in the role of Lady Macbeth. According to director Stina Madriaga-Stone, the show works not just as a spin on the Macbeth story itself, but a story that explores the gendered dynamics of the theater world. “I … really appreciate the way this show scrutinizes the female experience in the world of entertainment,” she said. “It examines internalized misogyny, explores how patriarchal theater grooming forces women to fight one another for the few ‘good’ roles available, and interrogates the abusive, male-dominated power dynamics of collegiate drama programs. I really feel this story is a great way to show women in theater that they are not alone and that things do not have to, nor should they, continue the way they are.” Mad King Productions’ presentation of Macb*tches plays at the company’s Fellowship Theater at The Gateway (167 S. Rio Grande), Aug. 13 – 23, with performances Thursdays – Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $17 - $27; visit madkingproductionslc. com to purchase tickets and for additional event information.

Music in the movies has experienced many shifts over more than a century, from the piano scores accompanying silent films, to the sweeping orchestral music of vintage Hollywood, to pop-song soundtracks, to a resurgence in symphonic scores thanks to the success of John Williams’ themes. What has remained consistent, though, is the way movie music seeps into the rest of our lives, becoming the soundtrack for our memories and a way to remember our favorite cinematic experiences. This season at the Deer Valley Music Festival, the Utah Symphony presents a wide-ranging program of “Famous Film Music,” representing familiar themes, Academy Award winners, beloved family films and some less-well-known examples of great movie scores. The great John Williams is represented in his theme from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, along with the iconic Lalo Schifrin theme from Mission: Impossible and the heroic anthem from Chariots of Fire. Kids and adults alike will delight to familiar melodies from How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Disney’s Hercules and Beauty and the Beast and Studio Ghibli’s beloved My Neighbor Totoro. Add adventure-inspiring selections from Pirates of the Caribbean, Silverado, The Magnificent Seven and more, and you’ve got a reminder of what great movie music can do. Utah Symphony’s presentation of “Famous Film Music” comes to Deer Valley Resort’s Snow Park Amphitheater (2250 Deer Valley Dr. South) on Thursday, Aug. 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $93 - $118 for reserved seating, $27.50 - $52 for general admission lawn seating.

Millcreek Arts Fest / Magna Main Street Arts Festival Winding into the dog days of August after a particularly long-feeling summer, it would be easy to think that all the arts festival opportunities for 2026 are in the rearview mirror. Ah, but ’tis not the case; while many of the larger festivals like the Utah Arts Festival and Park City Arts Festival have already taken place this year, you’ve still got some opportunities to hang out with creators, buy their work, listen to music and generally soak up the vibes of an artsy atmosphere. The 2026 Millcreek Arts Festival returns to the Historic Baldwin Radio Factory (3474 S. 2300 East on Saturday, Aug. 15, 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. You can visit more than 100 booths and local artist studios, and enjoy live music from Moonshine Profits, Apollo Jr., Scotty & The Daylites, Alli Brown, Brother Chunky and more. Free parking shuttles will be available to take guests to and from parking areas, and the event itself is free and open to the public. Visit millcreekartscouncil.org for additional event information. After taking a year off during road construction last year, the Magna Main Street Arts Festival returns (between 8900 West and 9180 West, Magna) on Saturday, Aug. 15, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Vendors and artists present their work, food trucks offer chances for good eats, and live music performances from artists including Cathode, Mowth and Magna’s own The Ironport Band take to the main stage throughout the day. Guests are even invited to participate themselves in the Art Contest, and enjoy lots of family-friendly activities. The event is free and open to the public; visit magnaarts.org for additional event information. (SR)

Apparently convinced that the 2024 Reagan biopic did not sufficiently lionize the former president as the savior of the free world, writer/director Michael Russell Gunn takes a narrower historical focus that feels like a stage play adaptation gone horribly wrong. Gunn addresses the 1986 meeting/don’t-call-it-a-summit between Reagan (Jeff Daniels) and Soviet Union general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev (Jared Harris) in Reykjavik,

The Brink of War

Nimrods BB1/2

The admittedly thinly-populated subgenre of “teens trying to get to the big concert” has seen entries ranging from the sublime (I Wanna Hold Your Hand) to the sublimely ridiculous (Rock ‘n’ Roll High School) to the forgettable (Detroit Rock City). This variation, inspired by the early days of the band Green Day, plops down somewhere in the middle as amiably diverting. It opens in Kansas City, as three highschool bandmates—Tommy (Mason Thames), Fred (Kylr Coffman) and Chad (Ryan Foust)—take off on a road trip to Los Angeles, convinced after a prank by Tommy’s older brother Wayne (Keen Ruffalo, son of Mark) that they’ve been picked to open for a New Year’s Eve Green Day show. Screenwriter/director Lee Kirk gets a little busy by trying to squeeze in a romantic interest (Mckenna Grace) for Tommy, as well as some familial angst involving the death of Tommy and Wayne’s father. Things are much more enjoyable when the movie stays in the pocket of episodic silliness, whether that’s Fred having a bad mushroom trip, or the boys staying in a motel with a weird proprietor (Fred Armisen). Nothing ever really hits the heights of comedic inspiration, and there’s more that could have been done with a protagonist who struggles to add together a $20 bill, a $5 bill and a pair of singles. What’s left is a goofy hang-out flick where there’s little surprise as to exactly when you’re going to hear “Time of Your Life.” Available Aug. 14 in theaters. (R)

David Robert Mitchell (It Follows, Under the Silver Lake) has shown such a distinctive filmmaking sensibility that I wouldn’t have expected his first feature in eight years to be a full-on homage to vintage Steven Spielberg, but here we are—and he pulls it off. Set in a Michigan suburb circa 1982, it follows a family—unhappily married Denise (Anne Hathaway) and Greg (Ewan McGregor) and their teenagers Audrey (Maisy Stella) and Brian (Christian Convery)—as they face a startling challenge when a two-mile chunk of their neighborhood appears to be transported through a wormhole to the prehistoric past. That involves a transition from the E.T.-adjacent idyll of kids riding their bikes around cul-de-sacs to the Jurassic Park thrills of dodging hungry dinosaurs, and Mitchell navigates it all delightfully, crafting set pieces that swing from mounting tension to out-of-nowhere shocks, with a little strategic gore thrown in along the way. The familial stress component feels more functional than genuinely resonant, though Mitchell does find a solid moment of Audrey trying to find normalcy while listening to Steve Winwood’s “Valerie” on the car stereo, and Mitchell’s gift for unique framing appears only sporadically, most notably with deepfocus compositions suggesting the fragmenting of the family dynamics. Mostly, though, it’s simply a cracking adventure with a wonderful throwback feel, one where paying respect to a master ends up feeling savvy, rather than just a reminder of other, better movies you could be watching. Available Aug. 14 in theaters. (PG-13)

Road Trips

Iceland to address contentious issues around human rights, the Strategic Defense Initiative and arms reduction. Much of what takes place in the negotiation room could easily have been a theatrical two-hander as the discussions become a battleground of ideologies, with occasional nice cinematic touches like literally shrinking the table between the two men as they get closer to a possible deal. But for some reason, Gunn feels the need to extend the action to cattiness between Raisa Gorbacheva (Branka Katić) and Nancy Reagan (Hope Davis, with her nose scrunched into a perpetual “I’ve got crap smeared on my upper lip” sneer), and translating the metaphorical pissing contest between Gorbachev and Reagan into a literal one between on-site CIA and KGB agents. It all feels like a forced attempt at squeezing comic relief into the heavy narrative, when clearly the intention is lauding Reagan as a man motivated to grand plans by surviving an assassination attempt. Those who already revere The Gipper don’t really need a reminder this scattershot. Available Aug. 14 in theaters. (PG)

Big League Homegrown Real Salt Lake star Zavier Gozo readies for next step overseas. BY CONNOR SANDERS comments@cityweekly.net

fter becoming the first homegrown Utah player to be named a Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star, Real Salt Lake’s Zavier Gozo is on the precipice of another major leap in his career. London-based Crystal Palace Football Club is in advanced talks to sign the 19-year-old winger, according to reports from The New York Times. Palace will reportedly pay around $15 million to bring Gozo to the Premier League—a figure that would surpass RSL’s $11 million record sale of Colombian winger Andrés Gómez in 2024. Gozo was born in West Valley and spent his formative years in Eagle Mountain. In a recent interview with City Weekly he recalled being one of only a “handful” of Utahns at RSL’s Academy, and how he was the only Utah player from his age group who broke into RSL’s first team. Now, if the Crystal Palace sale goes through, Gozo will be the first Utahn to ever lace up his boots for a Premier League side. “Obviously, I do think of stuff in the future and sometimes stress about it, but I also think stressing about it is not going to fix it for me,” Gozo told City Weekly before the move was announced. “If I take it day by day, you know, God’s plan will work out for me. That’s my mindset.” On Gozo’s wall in his room—where he has lived with his mother Esther and will continue to do so until the upcoming transfer—he has hung up a vision board. Among the images glued there is a picture of him in a Real Madrid jersey, though Gozo was quick to clarify in a video for MLS that while he doesn’t necessarily plan to play for Los Blancos someday, he does see himself as a player who will play on the highest level. Gozo credits his mother with instilling this mindset in him. He said that her influence has shaped his approach to the game, how he acts on the field and how he reacts to wins and losses. “She’s my best friend. She played the biggest role in my life,” he said. “She keeps me in a middle ground, not too low, not too high.” After 19 years of soaking up the best that Utah had to offer him, it’s time for Gozo to move out of his mom’s house and into the most soccer … er, football crazed city in the entire world.

London-based Crystal Palace is reportedly eyeing Gozo for a $15 million transfer to the Premier League.

The Sacrifices Long before he was scoring overhead kicks for RSL and making waves on the transfer market, Gozo remembers playing all day with his older brother, Elijah, on a patch of grass across the street from his home in West Valley. But aside from his brother, and despite being given the middle name “Didier”—in honor of Ivory Coast soccer icon Didier Drogba—Gozo said he doesn’t remember playing much soccer at his family gatherings growing up. His father, Alban Gozo, was born in the Ivory Coast and was baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at 16 years old. At the end of Alban’s missionary service in his home country, he expressed a desire to go through the LDS temple ceremonies to his mission president, Zavier recalled.

The mission president, who was from Utah, told Alban about the many temples and opportunities here, and so he set out to start a new life in the Beehive State. Alban considered playing on the soccer team at Salt Lake Community College, but decided to become a coach instead. While attending a Utah Jazz game, Alban met Esther. They were married and raised two sons in West Valley City. Because his father’s side of the family was living in the Ivory Coast, there weren’t many soccer influences within Zavier’s extended family. “Usually we would just get together with my mom’s side of the family. We brought them into soccer, kind of,” Gozo recalled. “They’re all [more of] basketball, football people.” That meant the love for soccer was really cultivated in his relationship with his brother and his father,

Zavier Gozo was the first Utahn to be named a Major League Soccer All-Star. who coached him in his early years. Zavier and Elijah—who went on to play for RSL legend Kyle Beckerman at Utah Valley University—would set up a goal and play for hours on end, Zavier said. When Zavier was eight years old, he moved to Eagle Mountain and joined the Comba soccer club. He fondly recalls training and playing each day at Millrace Park in Taylorsville. His talent on the field was immense. He joined La Roca, a youth soccer giant in Utah, and started travelling across the country to play in tournaments at age 11. During his time there, Zavier’s parents decided to get a divorce. In the United States, it can sometimes be a financial burden to put one’s kids in club soccer, Gozo noted. And as a single mother, Esther paid tens of thousands of dollars for Gozo’s club fees by putting it on credit cards.

Real Salt Lake’s Academy is one of the biggest soccer development systems in the country, yet most of the athletes who attend it are recruited to Utah from other states like California, Arizona and Colorado. That meant Gozo was one of the few players who commuted each day to training when he joined the academy at 14 years old in 2021. He came out of the blocks flying, scoring goals in droves and signing his first professional contract in 2022. His play even earned him call-ups for the United States Youth National Team. Living at home offered Gozo the opportunity to cultivate a deeper relationship with his mother, to whom he would often turn when the going got tough—including the time he broke his fibula when he was 16. Esther taught Zavier to “trust my own process and trust my own journey,” he said, “and not compare myself to my teammates and what they were doing, and just really hone in on what I needed to improve on regardless of others.” After just three months of rehab, he returned to the pitch, where Gozo continued his rise. He made his debut for RSL’s first team against Los Angeles Galaxy in October of 2023, months after the injury. He spent the 2024 season with the Monarchs, but earned a starting role under coach Pablo Mastroeni in 2025. Gozo finished the 2025 season with four goals and three assists across 25 appearances. He started extremely well in 2026, with six goals and five assists in 16 appearances despite moving to a more defensive role. “We’re watching this young player turn into a top level MLS player,” Mastroeni said after a July 15 friendly win over English club Burnley FC, in what would be one of Gozo’s last appearances for RSL. “Gozo is a player that continues to work on both sides of the ball so hard during the week. It’s not a surprise that he continues to impress.” Gozo’s competitive play prompted some discussion about the 19-year-old being called up as a sort of wild card addition to the U.S.’s World Cup roster this summer. While that opportunity did not come to fruition, it’s clear from his performance on the field that his time to play in the U.S. shirt is coming soon—

Representing Utah Across the World Back on his vision board, Gozo has glued on some other pictures: an AI-generated image of himself with his girlfriend—BYU soccer standout Afton Perry—and their future children; a temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; and a “future missionary” name tag. While Gozo is a larger-than-life talent on the pitch, at home he seems to be a well-mannered, friendly LDS kid. He strives to read his scriptures every day and seeks out extra study if he has to miss a Sunday service for a match. While Utah is definitely a “bubble,” Gozo said, he’s come to appreciate how kind and inclusive the people are here. Being born into the LDS faith and the Utah community connected him with people and resources he wouldn’t have enjoyed growing up elsewhere, Gozo noted. “I’m so grateful to have grown up here,” he said. “I feel like it’s changed the way I think and still changes the way I think. It’s such a blessing to have grown up in Utah.” Now the Utah kid who lived out the dream of every young soccer player raised here—rising through the RSL academy, scoring bangers in MLS and even having his likeness put on an I-15 billboard outside the stadium—is ready for the next step in his mission: the Premier League. And it all started with knocking the ball around with his brother on a little patch of grass in West Valley City. CW

The RSL Era

maybe as soon as the U.S.’s friendlies against Peru and Chile at the end of September. On July 29, Gozo shared the field with legendary players like Son Heung-min and Thomas Müller at the MLS All-Star Game. He was the first Utah homegrown player to make the MLS All-Star team, and the youngest player in RSL history to do so, club officials said. “It was so much fun, especially to play with the best players in the world,” Gozo said after the match. “They [Son, Müller and Carles Gil] told me to keep going, keep fighting, keep smiling and playing the way I have been playing. They’ve been very encouraging.” Gozo had made his desire to move this summer no secret in interviews with the press, but reports seemed to indicate that the club wanted to keep him through the MLS season. Crystal Palace has evidently made an offer that RSL can’t refuse, and Gozo will likely join the Eagles before the start of their season on Aug. 22. Crystal Palace has hosted the development of some of the game’s brightest young players in recent years, including Bayern Munich and France attacker Michael Olise and Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze.

“I remember [thinking], ‘Of course she doesn’t have the money to pay for the trips,’” he said. “[It was] a financial burden for her, but she just wanted to see me achieve my dreams.” She never told Zavier about it, but as he grew older, he realized the magnitude of her sacrifice. “I was just like, ‘OK, since you did this for me, I’m going to make it worth it for you,’” he said.

Chef Andrew Zimmern discusses his contribution to Song Summit Supper Club. BY AIMEE L. COOK comments@cityweekly.net

he Song Summit Supper Club is back: Good food, great music and the kind of crowd that makes a night like this feel more than just a dinner out. Song Summit (formerly the Park City Song Summit) takes place in Park City Aug. 27 - 29. The music festival is built around community and connection. Music and food have always been two of the most powerful ways people come together, and here, they are woven into every moment. Wellness is the foundation that supports it all, as Song Summit takes a progressive approach that embraces mental health, recovery support and inclusivity as essential parts of overall well-being. At the center of the opening Summit Supper Club is renowned Chef Andrew Zimmern — a 15-time James Beard Award nominee, four-time winner and Emmy-winning television personality whose story is as compelling as his cooking. After training alongside culinary legends in New York City and helping build some of the country’s most celebrated restaurants, Zimmern faced a deeply personal battle with addiction that left him homeless for a year. Through recovery, he rebuilt his life from the ground up—starting as a dishwasher and then rising to executive chef—emerging with a perspective on food, community and second chances that shapes everything he does today. Through August, you can watch Chef Zimmern in Pitmasters, filmed in Utah and including Utah local Susie Bulloch

(heygrillhey.com) and Wild Game Kitchen. I had the pleasure of chatting with Chef Zimmern about the upcoming curated dinner, which is inspired by the music of Sierra Hull and his involvement with the Song Summit.

through the things she likes to eat.

Q: How did you get into cooking? A: I have always been interested in food, since I was a young man, low-single-digits young. I have been cooking my whole life. I got my first job cooking when I was 14 years old.

Q: When music and food come together, it creates a magical atmosphere. What are you hoping the guests walk away with? A: I hope they have a great meal, but more importantly, I hope the experience of Sierra and I being in the room together, being able to spend time with the two artists in collaboration, allows for a more fulfilling experience. Last year was pretty magical; the idea worked perfectly. I don’t think you can have anything more special than having a meal like this, that is so heavily curated and perfectly executed with the help of Chef Galen of Le Depot and his team, and we get to celebrate Nashville before going up to the theatre and listening to the music.

Q: What was the inspiration for the meal, and does our mountain setting shape what ends up on the plate? A: We are bringing Nashville to the Mountains; we have created a really special menu for the event. Sierra [Hull] is from Tennessee, so this is a nod to her music city and her career. Nashville sits at the crossroads of Appalachia, church suppers, old Tennessee hunting culture, and we also wanted to have a little play with food built for musicians that get off stage at 2 a.m. Nashville in the Mountains menu is not a greatest hits album of novelty dishes; it is a dinner about Southern food that remembers where it came from. We are serving a bourbon and sorghum cocktail with passed hors d’oeuvre of johnny cakes with country ham and whipped pimento cheese. Skillet cornbread with Tennessee honey butter, smoked trout with green tomato chow chow and charred corn, stuffed, smothered quail with sausage dressing, farmhouse gravy and stoneground grits and banana pudding for dessert. Q: How did the collaboration with Sierra Hull come about? A. The Song Summit has expanded the paired dinners. Last year, I did the very first one with Marcus King, and it worked out so well that now we are doing three of them. Sierra is playing that night, and we were paired together; being a big fan of Tennessee food, it was a pretty easy one. Sierra and I spent some time on the phone together last month and walked

Q: Will Sierra be playing live during the dinner? A. That will be up to her. We will be playing her music at the event.

Q: You have spent years exploring food and culture around the world. What drew you to the Song Summit? A: I was invited and went last year; now I am involved as a partner in the event ongoing. I think it is a magical type of festival. To be able to combine music and food with a platform of wellness, to me, is everything that I want to do. Come and attend the event; it is a singular experience and one that I think is second to none in the country. To have that right in your backyard, when the weather is perfect, and life is glorious in the mountains, I don’t think there is a better event in the country. Song Summit Supper Club’s “Nashville in the Mountains” promises a night of flavor, melody and mountain magic. CW

where the bright cherry notes can cut through the rich, savory fats. Verdict: Epic has created a fun and festive ale that honors tradition while keeping the liquid sophisticated and highly sessionable. Templin Family Brewing - Imperial Paloma: For those unacquainted with the classic Mexican cocktail, the Paloma is a refreshing blend of tequila, lime and grapefruit soda. TF Brewing has taken this concept and amplified it into an Imperial Paloma ale that demands your full attention. Let’s be clear: This is not a dainty, polite fruited sour meant for casual sipping in the background. From the moment the can is cracked, it screams citrus with an intensity that is almost confrontational. The initial aroma is a complex citrus haze, but once the liquid hits your palate, the grapefruit takes a literal baseball bat to your jaw, locking it up with a punchy, rind-forward bitterness and zest that is remarkably bold. The base of the beer provides a sharp, lemony foundation that keeps the profile bright, but the undisputed star here is the grapefruit. It manages to capture both the fruit’s natural sweetness and its aggressive, pithy bite. The “Imperial” designation is no marketing gimmick; the 11.2 alcohol by volume is very much present, adding a warmth that mimics the tequila kick of the original cocktail. It is a high-octane experience that manages to be both refreshing and dangerously potent. As the flavors settle, you realize that this is a beer for the citrus fanatics—those who crave high acidity and an unapologetic fruit character. Verdict: Here’s an adventurous brew that pushes the boundaries of the style, successfully translating a beloved cocktail into a beer format without losing the spirit of the original. Just a word of caution: With flavor and ABV this bold, you should definitely mind yourselves. This Paloma doesn’t just visit; it makes a permanent impression. Both of these fruited ales are available in 16-oz. cans. And the fact that both breweries are only four blocks apart from each other makes your beer run especially painless. CW

Epic Brewing - Pie & Beer Day (Cherry Pie Cream Ale): In Utah, Pie and Beer Day serves as a local countercultural celebration, held alongside the more mainstream Pioneer Day. Epic Brewing has crafted the perfect companion for this alternative holiday with their Cherry Pie Cream Ale. While many “pastry”inspired beers rely heavily on lactose to simulate a creamy mouthfeel, Epic takes a refreshing detour. This ale is brewed entirely without milk sugars, making it an inclusive choice for those with dairy sensitivities or anyone who prefers a cleaner finish. It captures the essence of a cherry pie without falling into the trap of cloying sweetness. Instead, it offers a class in balance, leaning into a robust malt backbone that provides a sturdy foundation for the fruit additions. Upon the first sip, the cream ale base is unmistakable. It possesses that signature smooth, approachable character, yet without the “cream” (lactose), the flavors feel more transparent and focused. The cherry presence is wellintegrated and avoids being overwhelming. This subtle tartness lifts the malty profile, elevating the experience from a standard ale to something significantly more joyous and vibrant. It lacks the heavy alcohol intensity often found in fruit-forward stouts, opting instead for a “happy” 6.5% level of drinkability that encourages multiple sessions. While the name suggests dessert, the flavor profile is surprisingly versatile. The gentle tartness and lack of excessive sugar mean this beer actually thrives when paired with food. Specifically, it is best paired with a savory pie—think chicken pot pie or a shepherd’s pie,

BACK BURNER BY AIMEE L. COOK

Meráki Greek Grill Opens in Orem Meráki Greek Grill (merakigreekgrill.com) has officially opened its newest location at 575 E. University Parkway. Founded by Jerry Goumroian, the brand has quietly become one of the Southwest’s standout restaurant stories, collecting “Best of Las Vegas” honors and a spot on Yelp’s Top 100 Restaurants in America. The Orem location is the brand’s third in Utah, and is locally owned and operated by Caleb Benton, who plans to grow the concept across the Salt Lake City and Utah County market. The menu stays true to what made Meráki a hit: gyros, signature bowls, Kalamakia, avgolemono soup, fresh salads, wraps and house-made spreads. Orem diners also get a few new additions—Taverna cheese with hot honey, Greektown donuts with Nutella, and Meráki frozen Greek yogurt in four flavors. The space itself is warm and welcoming, with olive trees, hand-painted murals and a vibe that actually makes one want to linger. Stein Collection Bids Farewell to Chef Zane Holmquist After more than two decades shaping the flavors and reputation of Stein Collection, Chef Zane Holmquist will retire at the end of this year, closing out a remarkable 48-year career in food and beverage. As VP of Food & Beverage Operations and Corporate Chef, Holmquist earned a long list of honors along the way. He cooked at the prestigious James Beard House in Greenwich Village, was named Utah Restaurant Association Chef of the Year, and led The Glitretind to its Forbes Four-Star rating, the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and the DiRONA distinction. His cuisine has also graced the pages of Bon Appétit. Next up? A move to the south of France, where he plans to keep cooking, biking, and racing triathlons. “It has been an absolute privilege to have Chef Zane’s vision, leadership, and culinary expertise shape the unrivaled culinary experiences for which Stein Collection is renowned,” said Russ Olsen, President and CEO of Stein Collection. Stepping in are two familiar faces. Jason Berrett (who joined in 2001) has been promoted to VP of Food & Beverage. Chef Jonathon Miller, who has been with the team since 2005, becomes Director of Culinary Operations & Corporate Chef. Two Downtown Favorites Debut New Menus Le Méridien & Element’s signature restaurant, Adelaide, and its cowboy-chic rooftop bar, Van Ryder, have both rolled out new menus under new Executive Chef Daniel Horn. At Adelaide, mornings begin with bayou biscuits and gravy over a house-made Old Cheddar biscuit and the towering Adelaide eggs Benedict. Come evening, the menu turns bold with surf and turf pairing cider-glazed pork belly and scallops, and, after 5 p.m., the Adelaide seafood boil for two simmered in a pho-inspired broth. Up on the roof, Van Ryder leans Western with playful, share-worthy bites. Think parisa (a.k.a. cowboy ceviche) with raw beef, pickled jalapeños, and cheddar, and Wagyu beef sliders topped with house-made pimento cheese. Save room for the tres leches cake, a milk-soaked sponge crowned with shaved strawberries. Breakfast runs 6:30 - 11 a.m. daily, weekend brunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and all-day menus until 10 p.m.

How a vision for alternative music venues became a reality for Yardwork Presents curator Chaz Prymek. BY LANEY HANSEN comments@cityweekly.net

MUSIC

A Yardwork Presents outdoor concert

show at a bar or typical venue has opened new avenues for creating and new ways of thinking about music. “It feels a little more special, a little more invested. Where you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m coming to see this really artistic moment, and it could be that your friend is playing solo banjo, but the way you view it changes,” he said. And that change has influenced Prymek to continue the work. He hopes to continue facilitating even more listening spaces for all-ages events and provide further accessibility to a new experimentation route in Salt Lake City. “Seeing folks who perform these more untraditional approaches to art and music can be like getting permission to then explore your own art further, push yourself, dive into your own ideas. I hope it helps folks understand there is a place for you in all of this. I hope that by expanding our creative visions, and breaking down the barrier of entry of creative pursuits, we then are also forced to break down more barriers in our day-to-day,” he said. “Music is great in the corner at the bar, but it is one of the biggest parts of all of our lives, and it should be viewed as so.” CW

connections is with 801 Salon, the roots of which started with co-founder Roxanne Gray and has grown into a collective effort involving other curators, collaborators and artists of all forms, from dance, theatre, improvisation and music. It was Gray’s work that inspired Prymek to consider galleries like 801 Salon as viable venues for musical experimentation. “[801 Salon] gave the whole community permission to … see other spaces as galleries or venues, and deep dive into art in a whole new way that we historically maybe hadn’t in Salt Lake,” Prymek said. He describes his work thus far as creating a gallery-quality listening experience, one of which being Festivella, presented in 2025. The weekend-long event hosted many local and travelling artists at various locations, including UMOCA, Sunday Drip, The Listening Room at Pierpont and Sugar Space. Prymek said it was one of his favorite projects, adding that it “made this really beautiful full-spectrum experience” for audiences and partners that he hadn’t encountered before. He added that the surprise of something so different from a

t the prime age of 17 years old, Chaz Prymek grew into the music community with his own band as well as a job as a doorman at Kilby Court. Now 39, he has been a producer and curator of Yardwork Presents (yardworkpresents.org), a selfowned DIY project that has grown into a renaissance of avant-garde fusion in Salt Lake City. But before landing back in Salt Lake City after a move to Columbia, Mo., he impacted music scenes around the country, beginning with the Columbia Experimental Music Festival. Through this influence, he brought the sounds of experimentalism to small towns and rural communities. And with this in mind, he’s brought it to Salt Lake City to increase the communal creativity he craved when he was a teenager. “The kinds of music programming I wanted to see happen in Salt Lake, I couldn’t find easily,” Prymek said. “So I decided to make sure it happened, and it seems to be filling a certain niche that wasn’t too prevalent beforehand.” Now in its third year, the project has been built on Prymek’s ethos of sustaining and facilitating the already-existing community so it can continue to grow and thrive on its own. In becoming an anchor for up-and-coming musicians as well as touring acts, Yardwork has played a significant part in strengthening and growing the musical population, and in building up spaces that had remained untouched until now.

“We get to be a part of this momentum that’s happening in the city, where collaboration and room for improvisation are starting to have a moment,” Prymek remarked. “I think our role in all that has been, not only bringing artists to town, but working with different communities, different clusters and different scenes … and starting to blend them.” Prymek’s work with Yardwork Presents has an emphasis on exploratory listening, jazz and avant-garde music, working within “art-forward spaces.” This has included museums and local galleries to create a completely new experience for audiences and musicians, changing the context of what music can be. And it all comes from an aspiration for music and experimentalism to be accessible to all artists and audiences, with the hope of inviting new flavors into the mix. “There’s a whole demographic of people that are excited about all that music, and so hopefully, more and more people can see it,” Prymek added. Salt Lake City’s venue infrastructure has not caught up with young imaginers, and so Prymek has made his own pathway for musicians to play together and for all ages to view the work, without worry of the law. And it seems to be working. “I feel like all the disparate scenes are starting to see each other, the communities of music-goers are starting to be more curious, folks are collaborating a lot more and improvisation is having a small but mighty moment,” he observed. “It is a beautiful thing to show up to a show and see a wider variety of artists from different backgrounds, sonically and physically, on stage together making something unique or trying something out, a new kind of vulnerability and curiosity is happening here.” Through his work as a touring musician and festival curator, Prymek has built relationships that have allowed him to create events that wouldn’t be possible without the continued connection.

Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock @ Red Butte Garden 8/13

Herbie Hancock is just different in every way—and this is a good thing. His sound on the miraculous 1960s Blue Note LPs—Takin’ Off, Speak Like a Child, Maiden Voyage, The Prisoner, etc.—as well as his work with Miles Davis, is the defining timbre of the era in my head. Some musicians stay in the past, becoming zombies. Jazz is participating in and contributing to a living organism that is always evolving and always moving into new territories. “Everybody wants to reach more people. Even when we are avant-garde we wanted to reach more people,” Hancock told Mojo4Music. “That’s why we added the synthesizers. I encouraged other jazz musicians to get into computers and so forth, even when they were reluctant.” That constant exploration is what makes Hancock’s music so interesting. This titan of 20th century music is still creating and moving ahead while drawing on his own personal musical history. You can hear Hancock the “techno precursor” in the track “Nobu” from the mid-’70s, a solo performance on the ARP 2600, as well as his early 1980s albums which developed a minimal funk/industrial sound as he widened his use of synths. Also, the video for the 1983 song “Rockit” is the stuff of childhood nightmares. Playing with Mr. Hancock are Terence Blanchard (trumpet), James Genus (bass), Lionel Loueke (guitar) and Jaylen Petinaud (drums). Catch these musicians at Red Butte Garden on Thursday, Aug. 13. Doors at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the all-ages show are $75.75 and can be found at etix.com. (Mark Dago)

The Guess Who @ Maverik Center 8/14

Rock heroes The Guess Who came from an unlikely place: Winnipeg, Manitoba. Wheatfield Soul (1969) marked the beginning of a creatively fruitful five-year streak in which the band placed all 11 of its albums in the Billboard 200, with six of those making it to the Top Ten in their native Canada. In that same period, the group scored 13 Top 40 singles in the U.S., including a pair of Number One hits, “American Woman” and “No Sugar Tonight.” Lead singer and keyboardist Burton Cummings effectively co-led the band with guitarist Randy Bachman, until the latter departed to launch Bachman-Turner Overdrive in 1971. The Guess Who broke up in 1975 and the group was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1987. Occasional reunions took place, and for many years original bassist Jim Kale led a group using the Guess Who name. Bachman and Cummings battled Kale in court for years, eventually winning rights to the band name. In 2026 the duo assembled a new lineup and launched the “Takin’ it Back” tour. The Guess Who come to the Maverik Center on Friday, Aug. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $68.60 from ticketmaster.com. (Bill Kopp)

Greg Mendez @ Kilby Court 8/19

Following his latest record Beauty Land, Greg Mendez brings his tour to Salt Lake City on Monday, Aug. 19 at Kilby Court. Mendez’s raw vocals and guitar-centric songwriting have invited audiences into his head, speaking to us as if in prayer to redeem what has been broken. And after the popularity of his 2023 self-titled album, he enters the scene again with stories of hardship, heartbreak and long evenings spent wide awake, seeking answers in the darkness. Listening to the shuddering of his voice to the lonesome piano melodies, you can hear the trials leading up to this work, and the possible nights spent on the porch, playing along to a tune only heard from within his own head. On each track, from “Looking Out Your Window” to “Geranium,” the music isn’t decorated by layers of instruments or harmonies, but instead is simple and raw but thoughtful within each lyric. Beauty Land is truly a testament to the simple storytelling that has been lost in translation and is making a comeback, starting with Mendez. You can join Mendez at Kilby Court on Aug. 19 at 6 p.m. for an evening of alt-country charm with support of Oakland-native Maria BC and local Nicole Canaan. Tickets are on sale now and you can find yours now at 24tix.com. They are $25 ahead of the show and $27 at the door. (Laney Hansen)

free will ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

At the post office, I mischievously plucked a crumpled piece of red paper out of the trash can. I don’t usually do such things, but I sensed some horoscope material was lurking there. It turned out to be a handwritten love note addressed to “My Lush and Luminous Aries Laugh-Lover” and signed, “Your Flawed but Fiery and Funny Provocateur.” The Provocateur had written, “Let’s be rowdy investigators of wonders and miracles. Let’s hack our way through the frontiers to discover the wildest beauty and truth ever.” I was shocked that anyone would have discarded such a tempting proposal—especially an Aries. Please avoid making comparable errors in the near future, my dear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The ancient Romans could be obsessive perfectionists in their approach to building stuff. They were thorough and scrupulous. That’s why some of the roads they constructed are still usable today, 2,000 years later. Workers dug deep foundations, then layered stones, gravel, and sand before placing the final surface. In the coming weeks, Taurus, I recommend that you, too, carry out meticulous groundwork as you upgrade your foundations and optimize your stability. Don’t you dare be lazy or hurried in doing this grunt work. Your dogged and ingenious attention to detail will make your future safety zone shatterproof and shockproof.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The horizon line is always the same distance away from you, about three miles at sea level. If you walk toward the horizon, you will never be able to reach it because it moves with you. Now I’d like to propose that some of your personal goals work like horizons. They are orientations, not actual destinations. You’re supposed to move toward them indefinitely, never arriving. In the coming weeks, I invite you to distinguish between your horizon goals and your destination goals. Some aims are meant to be reached, while others basically guide your direction without ever needing to be attained.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Here’s my normally $600-per-hour advice, provided at a very low cost to you: Don’t get back to where you once belonged. Instead, go toward where you must belong in the future. Maybe the old place feels cozier because it’s familiar, even if it no longer fits the person you are now. But I recommend that you heed the subtle pull of the life that’s calling you from ahead. Who exactly is the even more beautiful self you’re on your way to becoming? Visualize in detail the situation where that sovereign majesty will thrive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If you’re single, the coming weeks will be one of the most auspicious periods in ages for cultivating your own fan club of admirers. Your allure is turned up higher than usual, and the universe seems to have decided that what once might have counted as excessive is now perfectly appropriate. If, however, you’re happily ensconced in a lively monogamous bond, don’t sabotage it with daydreams of juggling multiple lovers. Instead, conspire with your partner to expand the range of flavors inside the relationship. Try stepping into different personas together: Adopt new names, experiment with strange accents, and imagine you’re living in 1453 Italy, or 1506 Spain, or 1685 Japan, or 1721 France.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The speed of thought can zip along at over 200 miles per hour. That’s the rate at which signals travel through neurons. Electrical impulses in computers, on the other hand, may travel much faster, at half the speed of light. So your thoughts are very leisurely compared to machines. But they do what computers can’t. They’re creating meaning, not just moving data. Their slowness is where the richest reality unfolds. Remember that well in the coming weeks, Pisces. It’s extra important for your mental and physical health that you not imitate machines and algorithms. You need to ruminate and meditate and muse as gently and unhurriedly as you dare.

Virgo mathematician Katherine Johnson (1918–2020) was known as a “human computer” who specialized in carrying out large volumes of intricate calculations. She also had an uncanny ability to translate complex problems into elegant equations, which was why NASA called on her help to guide its early space missions. She said she simply asked the right questions until the numbers disclosed their hidden patterns. Be like her in the coming weeks, Virgo. Instead of forcing quick and simple answers, focus on dreaming up the smartest questions. Well-crafted inquiries will unlock sweet insights that brute effort can’t.

Before launching spacecraft, engineers perform countless simulations of situations they hope will never happen. They repeatedly practice failures so that success becomes more likely. This is a different version of your current assignment, Scorpio. Your task is not to worry about disaster but to rehearse courage. So I encourage you to use your imagination to strengthen your resilience. Visualize yourself responding with creativity, grace, and humor whenever life springs surprises and unexpected blessings. Your confidence will thrive because you will have lots of inner practice in collaborating adeptly with uncertainty.

I confess I have succumbed to a very modern misdemeanor: tossing the word “sacred” around more often than it deserves. To be fair, I haven’t stooped to the tacky depths of New Age hustlers hawking “sacred e‑mail marketing” or “sacred dog-walking.” But still, I would prefer to invoke the word more sparingly, so that on the rare occasions I do, you will feel a genuine shiver of awe. Like now. I predict you will soon be stirred by marvelous encounters and realizations that flood you with reverent feelings and turn your inner life deliciously upside down.

You may not even be fully aware of how exactly you’re doing it or what the mosaic will ultimately look like and do. That’s fine. Your higher self is in charge of accomplishing this minor miracle.

That Housing Bill

ast month, President Donald Trump did not sign a reform bill, hailed as the biggest federal housing bill in decades. Instead, it became law without his signature, and condos around the country are now facing some major changes via new lending and insurance requirements. The bill was written in part due to the 2021 collapse of the Surfside Condos in Florida, after authorities shared with congressional committees what’s going on with older buildings around the country and the lack of housing options. For example: Did you know Florida contains 8% of the nation’s housing units, and one in seven homes in that state are for sale? Most of the inventory are condos, and now regulations have been changed to meet HOA requirements across the country, not just Florida. A University of Miami-led study found that 35 high-rise condos and hotels along a 12-mile stretch from Miami Beach to Sunny Isles Beach have been sinking or settling between 0.8 inches and 3.1 inches over the past seven years, including the Trump International Beach Resorts. Consider an old building with 100 units that needs all-new plumbing, and a tenant learns that the bid to replace it is $10 million. Under the new legislation, if the repairs haven’t been paid for by HOA management, tenants might not be able to get a loan or refinance on their unit unless the HOA’s reserves are in good shape. Also, monthly reserve requirements for HOAs are going up from 10% to 15% and deductibles will be capped for damage and repairs at $50,000 per unit. Reserves are like a savings account, wherein part of a tenant’s monthly HOA fee gets deposited in case repairs are needed in a building. Note that insurance costs in some buildings around the country have gone up 60%, which is passed along to condo owners through monthly HOA fees. Insurance companies are averaging an 8% increase in policies this year, but up to 27% in some states. The HOA pays for insurance on a building, but tenants are responsible for insuring the unit’s contents here in Utah. The good parts of the new bill are that the law streamlines federal environmental reviews for office-to-residential conversions and infill projects, which can help shorten permitting timelines for condo developments in mixed-use or infill areas in urban locations. There’s a housing crisis around the country and condos are typically a cheaper purchase option than a home. The bill also lifted the Rental Assistance Demonstration program cap by 100,000 units and authorized a new Moving to Work program that might help financing for affordable condo projects and units. My favorite part of the bill is that it now restricts large investors from buying large numbers of single-family homes. It doesn’t necessarily target condo purchases, focusing instead on single-family home buys, which could end up influencing condo demand and rental pricing in the long run. ■ Content is prepared expressly for Community and is not endorsed by City Weekly staff.

Gas Leak

Hundreds of moviegoers in Colombia fled the theater during a showing of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” thanks to a noxious smell, The New York Post reported on Aug. 3. Witnesses at the screening in Cartagena said they were overwhelmed by the stench of flatulence, forcing them into the hallways outside the showing. That’s right: Someone’s fart was so rotten that they cleared an entire theater full of people. The stinker hasn’t ‘fessed up—who can blame them?—and so strong was the smell that some speculated someone had set off a stink bomb. The anonymous air-befouler let it rip about halfway through the showing, and many moviegoers left without finishing the movie.

Death Becomes Him

A 26-year-old Welsh man has been arrested for allegedly dressing in a black hooded outfit to mimic the appearance of the Grim Reaper, climbing onto the roof of a local hospital and staring into the hospital’s rooms, The Independent reported on Aug. 5. Local resident Leon Gillespie has been charged with causing a nuisance or disturbance without reasonable excuse after a June incident at the Ysbyty Glan Clwyd hospital in North Wales. He pleaded guilty and was fined $270 for his stunt.

An Alaska family cleaning out a deceased loved one’s home called authorities when they discovered human remains on the property, Juneau Empire reported on July 30. Juneau police say the body—a man who would have been in his 70s now—was found in a deep freezer located in a locked outbuilding, and has been identified as a relative of the home’s deceased owner, though no missing person’s report was ever filed for him. Police estimate the body had been stashed for years, and are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.

There’s a Plane on the Highway

A 21-year-old pilot is credited with a cool head and quick thinking after landing a small plane on Interstate 10 in Pensacola, Fox 10 News reported on Aug. 4. Flight instructor Emily Shelton was on a training flight with a student pilot when the smell of burning oil permeated the cockpit. With the engine failing, Shelton radioed air traffic control to alert them of the emergency. “I don’t know if we’re gonna make it to the airport,” she said, informing them of her plan to land on the interstate instead. “Roger. It’s at your discretion, safe spot as possible,” controllers said. “We’ll get the vehicles out for you.” Shelton was able to maneuver the plane to safety while avoiding cars and even a highway sign that was in her flight path. Escambia County deputies were on hand as soon as Shelton and her passenger touched down. No one was hurt.

An Australian family made an unusual discovery during a home renovation project in New South Wales: a book in a desk that was bricked into the fireplace. UPI reported on July 31 that the book, “The Antiquities of Athens,” was published in 1858 and checked out from the Kiama Public Library 150 years ago. The library has done away with fines for overdue materials, which is a good thing, because otherwise the late fees would have totaled $20,000. The library says that the book will not be put into circulation but into a public display of a collection of significant items.

It was all hands on deck when a kitten was discovered stuck behind a Honda owner’s front grille in Ames, Iowa. The car’s driver was in the drive-thru at a Scooter’s Coffee when she heard the kitten crying. Other drivers quickly gathered around, and the coffee shop manager called Ames Animal Shelter for help. “You could hear the cat crying out,” animal services officer Kathy Pike said. “We didn’t know how to get it out.” She then contacted a towing company for more assistance. Jordan McKnight and Cole Denning from Central Iowa Towing and Recovery came over and had to dismantle the front part of the car enough for Pike to reach through and remove the kitten, who was showing signs of distress on a hot, humid day that felt like 118 degrees. The kitten—whom Pike named “Fika,” a Swedish word for “coffee”—was put up for adoption, and in an adorable plot twist, McKnight, who helped rescue her, ended up taking her home with him, much to the delight of his wife and daughter.

Customers in Hollywood, Florida, are free to abide by an unusual dress code at the Class Soiree Steakhouse: clothing optional, UPI reported on Aug. 4. On the first Monday of the month, the steakhouse offers a nude dining experience from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Diners must be over 18 years old to participate, and are expected to follow additional guidelines, such as no touching without consent. Upon arrival, they are given a robe, a towel and a seat cover. Chef and owner Maurad Ali says his staff members—who remain clothed during the event—have been well-trained and are respectful of the hungry nudists. Tickets start at $150 for women, $250 for men and $300 for couples.

UPI reported on Aug. 3 that a horse and its rider recently became separated early in the Tevis Cup 100mile high-altitude endurance race in California. After locating the uninjured rider, search crews spent two hours looking for the horse without any luck. The Butte County Sheriff’s Office Helicopter Unit joined the search and located the equine in the Granite Chief Wilderness, which is nearly 7,200 feet above sea level and difficult to reach. The horse was assessed, sedated and secured in a lift before being extracted. After being airlifted to the French Meadows Reservoir, the horse stood up and walked on its own to a trailer that was waiting to take it home.

Kyle James Steffen, 39, of Minnesota, faces charges after placing about 40 three-inch spikes in his lawn to deter neighborhood children from riding their bikes through his front yard on their way to a nearby park. KARE 11 reported on July 31 that a neighbor called police after witnessing Steffen yell at her children, and when police arrived, they discovered Steffen’s homemade spike strip. They charged him with a gross misdemeanor count of setting a spring gun/pitfall/deadfall or snare. Steffen could face up to 180 days in jail or a $1,000 fine. His court date is set for Aug. 25.

Outfoxed

After bottles of milk kept disappearing from outside his door, a man in Glasgow, Scotland, set up cameras to catch the culprit. On Aug. 2, Fox News reported that Gordon Campbell, 42, suspected a “vegan militant” was to blame for the stolen milk. “I didn’t really know exactly who would be doing it,” Campbell said. “I thought it was a person or an animal.” Campbell soon captured images of a fox scampering up the front steps, using its mouth to grab the bottle of milk, knocking it over and carrying it away. “All was forgiven when I saw its big ears and wee face,” Campbell said. As to whether he’ll be getting milk delivered in the future, Campbell’s not certain, but if he does, he says he plans to put a protective box on his front step for safekeeping of the bottles.
